Munitions Empire-Chapter 930 - 853 most powerful Orcs

Chapter 930: 853 most powerful Orcs Chapter 930: 853 most powerful Orcs If there were to be a Beastman so noble that one must look up to her, and none dared disrespect her, that Beastman’s name would surely be Yue’er.

Among the three imperial concubines of the Great Tang Empire, Yue’er, from the “Different Races,” had always been mysterious, rarely seen by anyone in her true form.

Due to feeling somewhat inferior about her identity, she rarely appeared in public.

However, in the factions within the Great Tang Empire, the force she represented could not be underestimated and was even significant enough to contend equally with Alice and Yulin.

Yue’er oversaw departments like culture and entertainment, which were always lucrative, and her top manager was John, a traitor from the Elf Race.

This situation was rather intriguing, as these two individuals represented the racial minorities of the Great Tang Empire.

Thus, both Shen Wuxiong and Shen Wenmao from Mirage Country naturally aligned closely with Yue’er, and Mathews, the Minister of Industry, also highly supported Yue’er’s environmental protection work.

...

Now, with the development of the Great Tang Empire, more and more Beastmen deemed this Beastman Empress their spiritual totem.

The restored prince of the fallen Beastman Kingdom from the Eastern Continent could never have imagined that a beauty he once presented had now become almost the highest-ranking entity among the Beastmen.

Indeed, the restored Beastman Kingdom in the Eastern Continent had ultimately disappeared into the dust of history, and its Beastmen had become slaves of the Poplar Empire and Ice Cold Empire.

Tragically, since the Great Tang Empire was then engaged in fierce battle in the Western Continent, it could hardly attend to such a pitiable Beastman Kingdom. Its demise seemed predestined, barely stirring a ripple in history.

“Your Highness!” a robust Beastman knelt on one knee, bowing his head in front of Yue’er. He had a somewhat human appearance, hence he became one of the few spokespeople for Beastman slaves within the boundaries of the Great Tang Empire.

Not all Beastmen would become slaves, and the Great Tang Empire was not disinclined to accept any Beastmen—being that one of Tang Mo’s consorts was a Beastman, in a sense, the Great Tang Empire’s attitude towards Beastmen was somewhat better than that of other countries.

“Rise!” Yue’er now had a new job, nominally overseeing all goblin and Beastman slaves within the Great Tang Empire.

Having worked in the Great Tang Empire for so long, the number of goblin slaves had already dropped to around 100,000. As time passed, the Great Tang Empire’s attitude towards these diligent workers was also changing.

At least, having mastered certain technologies, Tang People no longer wasted these skilled laborers as they used to.

Although these goblins were physically inferior to Beastmen and humans, they could undertake many special jobs: like crawling into sewers, climbing chimneys, or cleaning the glass on high-rise buildings. Additionally, they worked in paint factories and chemical plants.

After several years of work, these goblins’ conditions had also much improved: their one meal a day had become two, those who lived in tents might now have dorms, and instead of being beaten or shouted at, they were treated more civilly now.

However, they still couldn’t obtain citizenship of the Great Tang Empire, nor could they ever identify themselves as Tang People—even Shen Wuxiong and Shen Wenmao didn’t have this privilege.

They could only identify themselves as slaves—although these two were slaves of the Tang Country, not just any goblins that could be insulted at will by those from Mirage Country.

After all, these goblins were obligated to redeem themselves through their actions: the atrocities committed on Dongwan Island and the sins of Beiyuan City had to be repaid.

In the second year of the Great Tang Empire, the Tang State Envoy officially notified the Foreign Minister of Mirage Country, presenting two options: The first was to amend their historical records and revise their textbooks, removing references to Shen Wuxiong and Shen Wenmao as bridges of friendship between Tang and Mirage; the second option was to send Shen Wuxiong back to his country on an imperial warship of the Great Tang Empire to serve as the Prime Minister of Mirage Country…

The King of Mirage Country still had some integrity, promptly ordering the amendment of their historical records. From then on, Shen Wenmao and Shen Wuxiong no longer bore the stigma of treachery, but were referred to as national heroes…

Following that, the Emperor of Mirage Country ordered textbook revisions, expressing his dissatisfaction with the domineering behaviour of the Great Tang Empire through concrete actions: he ordered deletions, not just revisions, of any material concerning Shen Wenmao and Shen Wuxiong’s loss of Dongwan Island, national humiliation, and betrayal by surrendering to the Great Tang and harming their compatriots.

These two slaves were so grateful that they wept openly, vowing to serve the Great Tang Empire with utter devotion unto death—whether it was genuine emotion or fear, only they would know.

Now, the physical labor once performed by goblins had largely been transferred to Beastman slaves. In a way, this also marked the beginning of a new era.

Beastman slaves were more robust and capable—The Emperor of the Great Tang Empire also showed them particular favor, allowing them to eat two meals a day.

According to the dietary standards of the Tang Empire, these orcs thought they had been rescued into heaven. They worked diligently every day and quickly adapted to their new lives.

Many orc leaders also emerged, and Yue’er was currently receiving the highest-ranking orc leader among the slave orcs of the Tang Empire.

Despite being accustomed to seeing cat-eared beauties, the orcs were still shocked by the beauty of Imperial Concubine Yue’er when they saw her.

Unlike those clad in beast skins, Yue’er, dressed in exquisite attire, made the orc leader feel somewhat ashamed of himself.

“Impudence!” scolded the female bodyguard standing behind Yue’er, as the orc had forgotten to bow when he saw the Imperial Concubine and just stared straight at Yue’er’s face, which was audacious.

Hearing the scold, the orc quickly bowed his head, remembering his status: he was just a slave leader, and from all aspects, had no right to look directly at his superiors.

“I hope you can serve the Empire better… do not disappoint His Majesty or me. As a reward for your outstanding performance at work, I hereby award you a third-class foreign medal. Always remember diligence and loyalty, setting an example for the orcs.” Yue’er went through the motions, reciting her lines.

As she spoke, a beautiful orc cat-eared girl stepped forward and hung a very exquisite medal on the chest of the orc.

Due to the audience with Imperial Concubine, the orc leader’s outfit was new, made from silky fabrics he had never seen before, making him walk awkwardly.

Only when he arrived in Chang’an did he realize how wonderful this world could be. The territories controlled by orcs, compared to the majestic city before him, were almost like hell.

“This humble one diligently follows your teachings…” The orc leader knelt on one knee again, this time remembering the etiquette training he had received before his arrival, without any hesitation.

He knew that if he made any presumptuous moves because of distraction, the hard-earned position of leader he had would be replaced by someone else.

Even among orc tribes, anyone coveting the Great Chieftain’s or Kong’s beautiful wife or concubine would be thrown into the arena to be torn apart by wild beasts.

Let alone desecrating the Imperial Concubine of the Emperor of the Tang Empire— even the dumbest orcs, after a year in the Tang Empire, understood just how vast the Emperor’s divine reach was.

He could never convey how nervous he was the first time he flew in an airplane at 4,000 meters. From the moment he left the ground, his heart hung in his throat.

Growing up in the desert, he never imagined that one day orcs could fly in the sky, let alone walk shoulder to shoulder with the clouds.

Because orc slaves didn’t carry the sins of Dongwan Island and Beiyuan City, they had a higher status than the goblins: at least their leaders could call themselves humble rather than slaves.

“Dismissed.” The Ritual Officer impatiently reminded the kneeling orc leader. The leader’s earlier insolent action of staring at the Imperial Concubine had indeed embarrassed him.

Those who knew thought this fool deserved to die, while those who didn’t, might think the Ritual Officer had failed to educate the idiot.

“The timing is just right.” Watching the orc leader leave through the door, the secretary beside him checked his wristwatch and expressed satisfaction.

Yue’er stretched lazily, feeling very tired. Her current workload was significantly busier than when she was studying.

“Announce… Shen Wuxiong, Shen Wenmao for an audience!” Seeing that the Imperial Concubine had composed herself and exchanged a glance with the secretary, the Ritual Officer called out with a raised voice.

The doors were pushed open by the guards, and two short-statured goblins in tailored grand attire began their elaborate salutations upon entering. This wasn’t their first audience with the royal family, so they were very familiar with the procedure.

The two, who had been barely surviving in the Tang Empire for nearly ten years, were extremely skilled in their tasks, prostrating at the door without daring to breathe heavily: “The servants greet Imperial Concubine!”

“I hope you two can serve the Empire better… do not disappoint His Majesty or me. As a reward for your significant contributions to work, I hereby award you a third-class foreign medal. Always remember diligence and loyalty, setting an example for the orcs.” Yue’er didn’t bother asking them to rise and promptly began the formalities.

The Ritual Officer didn’t find anything inappropriate with Yue’er’s approach, instead looking down at the two goblins pinning medals on themselves, finding them much more pleasing to the eye.

Ah, these old slaves were truly honest. See… without being allowed to raise their heads, they wouldn’t even dare to look at Her Highness’s shoes—what is this? It is being sensible!

Finally, the morning’s audience concluded. In the afternoon, Her Highness also had an appointment to meet with the Minister of Industrial Affairs, Mathews, to discuss matters of energy conservation and emission reduction.
