Chapter 108: Morning assembly

"The Beastized Man is finished?"
The surprising sound revolved between the white marble columns, the golden dome and the creation myths depicted on it. The colorful glass windows are a flaming phoenix pattern with wings flying, the sunlight refracted from many angles After coming down, it was reflected by the bright marble floor to the grand curtain around.
The Phoenix Palace, the core of power of the Hawks Kingdom, stands at the highest point of the nest city. It consists of a main hall, four auxiliary halls, and thirteen tall towers. It is a miracle in engineering history. One of the oldest buildings in the world, many scholars even used the threat of being captured as slaves to go deep into the Flame Plateau just to see this magnificent creation.
The owner of the palace, the current Queen of the Sky, Isabella III, stands proudly in the ancient throne-the nest of the fire, she has a gorgeous golden feathers, beautiful and elegant posture, without the weird feeling of the lower-level banshee. The perfect combination of noble beauty and gorgeous birds and birds, colorful feather coats draped over the body, obscurely covering bare skin, under the quaint colorful crown is a dazzling red hair.
Because it is a pure matriarchal society, there is no real dynasty inheritance in the Hawk Lady Kingdom. There are many ways for a queen to choose her successor, maybe it is appearance or conspiracy, but it has nothing to do with their father in any way. Although the queens will respect their biological father and place him properly.
Below the throne, there are two teams of nephews with neat expressions. Their feathers are all bright and gorgeous. These two queues respectively symbolize the nobility and officials of the kingdom, which is also supporting the entire banshee kingdom. The basic system of operation, because it has long been out of the civilized world, the system of the Hawk Lady’s kingdom is still maintained in the ancient past, when the kings and nobles played the game of power all day.
Standing between the ranks, the old lady who reports to the Queen is Vizier of the Kingdom, which is equivalent to the prime minister of the human world in the past. This position is usually held by the Queen's relatives, such as the role of aunt.
"Your Majesty, the joint forces of the four families are all finished, and Oaker slammed their all the way, like a cat chasing a mouse."
The old Vizier had a hoarse voice but a sonorous tone. She has assisted the young queen for almost eight years. She is a tough and wristy politician, but it is also the biggest obstacle in the heart of the kingdom reformists.
"They... won't come to us?"
The queen's voice was soft and full of sorrow, her thin eyebrows were huddled together, and her inner insecurity was written on her face.
Seeing this scene, her aunt sighed, but couldn't help but doubt her sister's choice. In this changing era, is it really okay to let the flowers in a greenhouse bear the responsibility of the whole kingdom? Even if she has the most sacred feathers on her body, she behaves like a dreaming human princess, and even her bedroom is full of disgusting knight novels.
"If they dare to come! We will let them know what is the real anger of the beast god!"
A banshee dressed in light armor and with a thin sword hanging from her waist stood out. She was as graceful as a swan, with a jade-colored plume. Her appearance was similar to that of the queen, but she was more heroic and arrogant.
She glanced at Vizier and continued:
"But the premise is that we have to have more advanced weapons and better logistics."
The banshee's words not only made Vizier's brows frown, but even the nobles and officials lined up around her began to whisper, because she led the topic to another dangerous direction-reform.
Although they have been isolated from humans for a long time, the Hawks are not unaware of the development of the world. Scientific and rational thoughts are continuously reflected in the upper class with the smuggled books. Some nobles and officials who are not reconciled to the decline of this ancient country began to propose A slogan to learn from humans, but it also inspired a rebound in religious power.
Because of past history, the Church of the God of the Beast held great hostility to everything in human society, not to mention their thoughts, which also affected the views of many nobles on reform. They thought it was a frivolous and dangerous move.
Such discussions have continued for hundreds of years. Human influence is still infiltrating. Firearms have begun to spread in the Hawk Lady’s army. Cannons have strengthened Chaocheng and steam spinning mills have begun to appear. Originally only The merchants who are stronger than the untouchables have become more powerful in speaking, and even the queen has to borrow from them to maintain the decent royal family.
However, in political situations, discussing change is still a dangerous move, because humans bring not only technology, but also their thoughts, which have already caused the heads of several human kings to fall to the ground, and have also caused them in the human kingdom. Great turbulence and destruction.
"The Kingdom's standing army is already under construction, doesn't it already have three divisions."
Vizier is a veteran politician. She did not choose to pick up each other’s words, but led the matter to a purely military aspect. The owner of the Golden Falcon City is known as the pioneer of reform, but her intention of reform is for the kingdom, but also for her Sister lifted the throne? Vizier has reason to suspect the latter.
"Three divisions? My dear aunt, a small duchy of mankind can arm ten divisions with thousands of cannons, but we are complacent because of three divisions? And I know that at least half of those three divisions still hold Bow and arrow! The proportion of the new rifle is even less than the three Chengdu!"
"Ava, things have to come step by step. The new rifle itself is expensive. The kingdom does not have so much budget to purchase. Are you unclear about the virtue of those smugglers?"
"Of course, you can't do anything like bird shit! But why was the proposal to establish a new arsenal rejected?"
Hearing her words, the sky priest who had not spoken stood up, she shook her robe, and said loudly:
"Every nest city is a sacred sanctuary given to us by the of the beast..."
"Stop your clichés! I hope you will still be able to preach to them when Oak pulls you on the ground and pulls out your feathers!"
"you!"
"enough!"
Isabella, who endured for a long time, finally spoke. With her screams, invisible power swept through the hearts of every banshee present. This was both a shock and a soothing, regardless of her personality, but at least every queen of the sky Is a top wizard.
The three banshees still arguing had to stop and turned to bow to the queen.
"We are guilty."
Regardless of whether the words were insincere, the agitated Hanan's power calmed down. The queen looked at her aunt, sister and mentor, her eyes showing a helplessness.
With a sigh, she whispered sadly:
"My dear servants and relatives, the quarrel between each other will only weaken the power of the kingdom. At this time of crisis, I hope that Ru and others can let go of their stereotypes so that our people can avoid this disaster."
"Just follow the king's order."
All the banshees present bow their heads.
After straightening up, the high priest in the sky temple spoke again.
"Actually, the temple sent the assassins a month ago to understand the leader of Ok, but now it seems that they should have failed."
"And this thing? I never heard you mention it."
The Queen was very surprised by this. Before today, her concept of Ok was only on books. After all, that place was too far away from here.
"Your Majesty, the temple has been doing this for more than once."
"Why?"
"Perhaps your majesty, you forgot, the second chapter of the fourth chapter of the sky decree, it is clearly written on it, Okunai's robbery, must not let the trapped beast out of the cage."
"It seems... this is the case."
"So it seems that the oracle is not what some people say...unreal."
After the high priest finished speaking, he looked at Ava sideways, and the other responded with a cold grunt.
"Then, what can be done to deal with it?"
"Your Majesty, I have summoned the Grey Wind, two corps of Yan Pheasant, and five militia corps, they will be sent to the Beiling area to defend, and the military plan to build seven nest castles in the defense zone as a support point~ EbookFREE.me ~ perfect the defense system there."
Vizier had obviously made enough preparations. After listening to her report, Isabella III couldn't help but sigh of relief, his expression calmed down, and the warm smile returned to her beautiful face.
"Just follow this plan, by the way, since the defense zone has been delineated, the generals stationed are..."
Due to the lack of a standing army in the Hawks Kingdom, there are no full-time generals. Most of the time they are temporary nobles, and it is the same at present.
Isabella III glanced down and saw that her sister's expression was eager to try. Just before she opened her mouth, her aunt said:
"Count Morana, whose territory is at the border, has long led the militia to fight against the beasts and has extensive experience in fighting beasts."
"I object! Morana is too cautious. If the enemy is safe from her two hundred steps, she will not take two hundred and one steps."
Ava immediately objected loudly. She took a few steps forward and said to her sister:
"Your Majesty, I am willing to serve as a garrison general in Beak Ridge!"
"Nonsense!"
Vizier couldn't stand the little girl's irritability anymore, and rebuked loudly:
"You haven't even seen blood! Where did you have the guts to command the army! Beak Ridge is the first barrier of the kingdom, and there is no room for loss. We are not going to fight back against Oak, we just need to defend!"
In the face of another quarrel, Isabella III was embarrassed, but in the end she chose to trust her aunt.
"Then, according to your aunt's decision, let Count Morana serve as the garrison general in Beak Ridge."
"can……"
Her sister still wanted to talk, but the young queen waved her hand.
"Just let it go, sister, come to the back yard, I have something to tell you."
