Chapter 297 Isurna
Chapter 297 Isurna
The capital of the Kingdom of Suville, the Council Hall.
At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was lively. The ministers of the Suville Kingdom were discussing the victory news from the front line with joy on their faces, and some even started singing.
As a country with medium military strength among the Central Plains countries, they had just defeated the White Yang Sect's puppet state, which was ranked among the top three in strength, in a battle.
This was not only a battle in which the weak defeated the strong, but also a classic battle in which the few defeated the many, and a battle that could greatly boost the morale of the entire kingdom.
The Suville Kingdom's army, with a force of 35,000 men, defeated the religious Crusaders with an army of over 100,000 with less than 30% losses.
On the throne, a tall woman in a golden shawl had an indifferent expression. Her cold face had three-dimensional features, and her narrow and sharp eyes were intimidating without anger. However, at this moment, she could not hide the joy between her brows.
She is the supreme ruler of Suville - Colum VII. Of course, the people of Suville prefer to call her Queen Isurna.
She has the noble blood of the royal family of the ancient Suvikl Empire, an ancient empire that once ruled the central region of the Central Plains.
As the current queen of the Suville Kingdom, she knew very well what this great victory meant. The Suville Kingdom, which was at the center of the storm, needed this victory very much.
Isulna is only 25 years old this year, the youngest queen in the history of the Kingdom of Suville. Originally, she had to be at least fifty years old to inherit the throne.
But five years ago, the previous King Suvil, Isurna's father, was assassinated during a diplomatic activity in a neighboring country.
This assassination was a very serious political incident, which resulted in the death of nine royal family members including King Suvel, and directly led to the war between the Kingdom of Suvel and its neighboring countries.
At that time, Isurna, who was still learning etiquette in the capital of the Kingdom of Suville, was forced to ascend the throne. Isurna, who was only 20 years old, inherited the kingdom.
Politicians from various countries in the Central Plains felt that the Suweil Kingdom was doomed, and even many powerful figures within the Kingdom thought so.
After all, before Isurna became queen, she was only famous for being the most beautiful woman in the kingdom. She had never participated in any political events, and everyone thought that Isurna was just a vase.
But Isurna soon demonstrated her strong political skills. Not only did she suppress some restless nobles in the first place, she also recruited a group of capable and upright nobles in a short period of time.
After only one year, Isurna put out the flames of unrest within the kingdom and made the entire Kingdom of Suville united and faced foreign enemies together.
Seeing that they were unable to disintegrate the Kingdom of Suville from within, the surrounding kingdoms began to find ways to put pressure on the kingdom from all aspects of the outside, using every possible means in the economic, political, and military aspects, and even sent assassins to kill Isurna.
The Kingdom of Suvil is a big piece of fat meat because the kingdom is located in the former capital of the Suvikl Empire.
Whether it is the surrounding mineral veins, fertile land, or the geographical location in the center of the Central Plains, these fertile and tempting conditions deeply attract those greedy politicians.
The most recent time, the Kingdom of Suville was threatened by the powerful puppet state of the White Sun Sect, and in fact it was Isurna herself who was threatened.
The king of the puppet state is an old bishop of the White Sun Sect who is nearly sixty years old. He threatens Isurna to become his concubine, otherwise he will let the sect's Crusaders flatten the Kingdom of Suville.
This was a blatant humiliation. Not only was Isurna herself furious, but the entire country of Suville was also outraged.
A queen of a kingdom, with the noble blood of an ancient empire flowing in her body, had to submit herself to the royal family of another country and serve as a concubine.
This was also the fuse of this battle. It was obvious that Isurna was holding the mentality of preferring to die in glory rather than live in disgrace, and the people of Suville have always been like this.
On the throne, Isurna gently raised her hand, and dozens of ministers in the hall immediately fell silent. In just five years, these old nobles had completely submitted to Isurna.
"This great victory should be recorded in the history books. Let the secretary compile it carefully and send the battle report of the entire battle process!"
Isulna paused and continued, "Let the political department's propaganda officers produce a victory report overnight. I want the people of the whole country to know about the kingdom's great victory by this time tomorrow!"
Isurna issued orders one after another in an orderly manner, and at the same time, ministers continued to come out and bow in response. This has been the scene since Isurna ascended the throne.
"Have the Political Department's security officer draft a satirical letter in my name, have it reviewed by me, and then send it to the Baiyang Puppet State as quickly as possible!"
The head of the political department was a bald old nobleman. He stepped out to answer with excitement, and then said cheerfully: "That old man from the White Sun Sect really thinks that the soldiers of my Suville Kingdom are made of mud. Such a childish humiliation is really..."
Isulna looked at the excited ministers and chuckled, "Haha, it's probably just an excuse to declare war."
Another elderly minister of the council said thoughtfully, "I heard that the old bishop was extremely licentious and often indulged in lust in the palace during the day. Perhaps he really coveted the beauty of the queen!
"Yes, he used the support of the sect to plunder young and beautiful noble women. The surrounding kingdoms were angry but dared not speak out." The Minister of the Political Department quickly echoed.
Isurna frowned upon hearing this. She always hated people who thought with their lower body, so she covered her mouth and said contemptuously, "He doesn't even look in the mirror. If he was like Viscount Campbell of the Omo Empire, I might still agree to him."
"Hehe, yes, I heard that Viscount Campbell has the most handsome face in the Omo Empire. I saw his portrait not long ago, and he was truly stunning!"
A minister in his seventies curled his lips and said, "Appearance is not important at all. The reason why Her Majesty cited Viscount Campbell as an example is entirely because of his identity and background!"
The old ones are the wisest. Isurna looked at the minister with satisfaction and nodded, "Yes, Viscount Campbell has an unparalleled magical talent. He will most likely become a light elementalist in the future!"
"And according to reliable information, this Viscount Campbell is likely to become the next Holy Son of the Bright Moon Goddess Sect!"
Isurna's serious voice soon caused the ministers to exclaim in surprise, and many people hurried to flatter her.
"Your Majesty the Queen has a long-term vision. It is I who am short-sighted!"
"Yes, compared to his appearance, the identity of the Holy Son of the Bright Moon Goddess Sect is the most important!"
"The most suitable person to marry the Queen is Viscount Campbell. The fortunes of the Kingdom of Suville will surely flourish!"
Isulna just smiled and said nothing in the face of the flattery of the ministers. She knew that the ministers were just talking and that it was impossible for her and Viscount Campbell to even meet each other, let alone get married.
Just as he was thinking about it, a dazzling gray-white light suddenly lit up in the center of the hall. Dozens of fully armed guards immediately surrounded Isulna, completely treating this incident as an assassination.
Voices of conversation could be heard in the gray-white light, sounding leisurely and elegant.
"Ah, we are finally not in the wilderness anymore, and I sense that there are two objects containing the power of destiny here!"
"Youla, after you absorb the power of destiny, leave quickly and don't communicate too much with others. Do you understand?"
"Okay, I'll listen to Xiaohao."
