Beauty Portraits: I Build a Harem in Another World

Page 72

Looking at it from another angle, Qin Yu is actually a sentimental person. It's just a pity that although Qin Feng, the great demon king, has some compassion, he would never give away his woman. Therefore, he ruthlessly rejected Qin Yu at that time!

Besides, Xia Ming is now with Qin Feng, which is definitely much better than Qin Yu, right?

So whether it was to make amends or to put his mind at ease, Qin Feng simply bestowed Princess Minghan upon Qin Yu, giving her the title 'Princess Ming'. In any case, he had no interest in this 'once-in-forty-thousand-years' princess, and he didn't want a resentful woman by his side constantly nagging about restoring the country, so he simply left her to Qin Yu to play with!

Play however you like!

Chapter 187: Maggie also couldn't escape the clutches of the poisoner.

Of course, bestowing a reward is one thing, but whether or not one can make that decision is another!

Whether Qin Yu might do something under Princess Minghan's influence in the future is not currently within Qin Feng's consideration. But normally, given Qin Yu's experiences and the royal education he received, it's unlikely he would be easily persuaded by a woman...

But to put it bluntly, this was actually a test for Qin Yu by Qin Feng.

I'm handing over the Minghan Empire entirely to you. Let's see if you can produce some results to show me, or do you have bigger ambitions?

So let’s wait and see!

Speaking of this matter of catering to his preferences, now that Qin Feng has officially ascended the throne and the situation in the empire is gradually stabilizing, officials soon brought up the matter of selecting 'three thousand beauties for the harem' after the new emperor took the throne. After all, everyone knows that Qin Feng is fond of women, and Qin Feng has never hidden this fact.

However, to everyone's surprise, Qin Feng shook his head and said he wasn't in a hurry to select these 'three thousand beauties'. He also tried to change the election rules, but he hadn't figured out the specifics yet, so he would deal with it later.

All the ministers were immediately surprised. Qin Feng had actually rejected three thousand beauties?

In fact, Qin Feng is completely overwhelmed right now...

Because Qin Feng already has a lot of women around him, and none of them are the kind of women he would just have one with and then discard!

Putting everything else aside, his Maple Forest Garden has several hundred palace maids, right?

Then there's Xia Lin, Bai Zhiwei, Yoda Kaori and their whole group, and then there's Yu Wanlin and her friends. Qin Feng has to satisfy all sorts of needs every day...

Not to mention that he has three thousand concubines in his Qianqing Palace. Moreover, because there are too many people, he hasn't even fully sorted them out yet. Qin Feng estimates that he will be almost done with them all, so how could he have the mood to find three thousand new concubines?

Moreover, when recruiting new women, Qin Feng must find those who can be trained to become the vessel for the goddess's soul; he can no longer just take anyone...

So, let's take it slow!

Time passed unnoticed, and the Qin Empire gradually entered winter. Counting the time, Qin Feng had been in this world for more than half a year, from the height of summer when he first arrived to the current snow-covered city...

Sitting atop a high pavilion in the palace, Qin Feng sipped his wine while gazing at the snow-covered world below, feeling deeply moved.

More than two months had passed since his coronation ceremony, and most importantly, he was gradually getting used to being an emperor. In any case, he was the only one who made the decisions in this vast palace. Especially when he looked at the group of beautiful girls dressed in colorful clothes around him, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction...

Bai Zhiwei, Hu Bingjing, Hu Bingxin, Kaori Yoda, Kari Yoda, Kaori Yoda, Catherine, Xia Fei Hu, Wan Lin Yu, Shirley, Nataya, Qin Lan, Qin Ling, Xia Ming...

To be honest, in the past two months or so, Qin Feng has basically done nothing else but his daily life with the women around him, and his main focus has been on cultivating his beloved concubines!

Seeing the blizzard raging outside, Qin Feng decided to take all his concubines out to enjoy the snow and get some fresh air...

The war in the west must have started by now, but I wonder what kind of outcome Bai Hao will give me this time.

Indeed, Qin Feng chose to make his move during the season when everyone thought it was least likely to happen, and his target was the Indian Empire. This was because Qin Feng had mentioned before that he needed to have a port on the western side of the Eastern Continent that led to the sea. So, a little over a month ago, the Great Qin Empire seized an opportunity to confront the Indian Empire over a minor issue.

The exact reason for the dispute has been largely forgotten by everyone now. Basically, it was because the Indian Empire detained a batch of goods from the Western Continent destined for the Qin Empire due to security concerns. The Qin Empire then accused the Indian Empire of threatening trade security, and the two sides quickly escalated into a war of words. The Indian Empire probably considered the winter season and thought that it wouldn't be good for them to fight at this time. At most, they would argue with each other and let it go when the time was right. In any case, it had no intention of returning the goods it had swallowed to the Qin Empire.

This is a characteristic of the Indians, who particularly like to take advantage of small things. In the past, when goods from the Western Continent passed through their area, they would always ask for a small tip, and they often got into arguments with people. But they never expected that the Great Qin Empire would actually be serious this time!

Because just as Qin Feng ascended the throne, Bai Hao had already moved the empire's main army from the north to the west. Now that there was an excuse, especially when Qin Feng waved his hand and said that war was necessary, the empire's massive war apparatus immediately sprang into action. How to fight this war, to what extent, how to ensure logistics, how to manage public opinion and control the situation...

Everything has been thoroughly analyzed this month, and all preparations have been completed. Now it all depends on Bai Hao's decision on the front lines!

There are many advantages to being an emperor, but the biggest one is that you don't have to do anything yourself; you only have to give orders.

It's like eating every day. Faced with a table full of delicacies, does Qin Feng need to pick up the food himself? Mei, are you free? Lin, are you here?

This was obviously impossible. The table was so big that even if he stretched out ten hands, he couldn't reach it. It was even more impossible for him to get down from his comfortable dragon throne to pick up food. So every day when Qin Feng ate, he was surrounded by hundreds of maids. He only needed to indicate what he wanted to eat, and someone would immediately prepare it for him and bring it to him to eat. Even if he did everything himself, there was a nutritionist who would direct the maids to precisely divide the food and bring it to him...

Therefore, Qin Feng could often do other things while eating.

As for what to do, I don't need to explain that further!

Then, just like with clothes, Qin Feng, as the emperor, naturally had to be extremely particular about his daily attire. After all, he was the emperor, the symbol of the country. So you can imagine that there were as many as fifty palace maids who were specifically responsible for selecting and matching his clothes and changing his clothes every day.

Even when it comes to playing around with women, it's the same!

Now that Qin Feng is the emperor, he can basically do anything if he takes a fancy to a woman. He only needs to beckon, without even saying a word, and that woman will appear in his palace that night, completely naked...

Two months ago, Qin Feng held a banquet at the palace to celebrate the formal return of territory by the Xi Empire. Although Qin Feng didn't care too much about this matter, the court officials were very excited and proud. Seeing everyone so excited, Qin Feng naturally wanted to show his appreciation, so he held a celebratory banquet to make everyone happy. Then, while attending the banquet, he met an acquaintance, Maggie.

Maggie herself is the daughter of a high-ranking noble in the Holy See of Light, so she was able to take on various important positions at a young age. Previously, she was the spokesperson for the Church of Saintess where Regina was located, and she also held a bunch of other titles. Now, she is even more remarkable, having become the first ambassador of the Holy See of Light to the Great Qin.

So she came to the banquet this time, and she moved among the many officials with ease, and seemed very proud of herself. So Qin Feng whispered something to Regina beside him, and then Maggie obediently stood in front of him that night.

Not only did she obediently come, but she also took off her clothes and walked over to Qin Feng, who was lying there taking a bath. Then she even took the initiative to help him wash his body.

Once everything was in place, she willingly sat on Qin Feng's lap, even guiding his large penis between her legs, thus ending her virginity...

Chapter 188: War is about catching people off guard.

Maggie had no choice but to do this, because she simply couldn't bear the consequences of refusing Qin Feng.

Besides, as Saintess Regina's subordinate, she absolutely cannot disobey Regina's orders, right...? Putting everything else aside, the fact that Regina can now 'summon' the Goddess of Light, Einhasad, has spread throughout the entire continent!

Therefore, once Regina opened her mouth, she had no choice but to obediently listen...

So for the next period of time, she was a glamorous papal ambassador during the day, but at night she belonged to Qin Feng, allowing him to play with her in all sorts of ways...

It might sound like she's in a terrible situation, but in reality, Maggie is quite willing to accept it. She's completely changed now, and she much prefers her current sexy self to the girl with freckles on her face. In addition, she also loves the goddess soul that Qin Feng has given her...

……

Wanda (SSSR): Scarlet Witch, possessing chaos magic.

Attributes: Attack +100000, Defense +100000, Health +1000000, Mana +100000.

Personal skill: Chaos Magic (?)

Contract Bonus (Uncontracted): Attack Power +5%, Damage +5%, Critical Hit +5%, Penetration +5%, Fatal Strike +5%.

……

As we all know, Scarlet Witch Wanda is a very powerful female superhero in the Marvel Universe, and you could even say she's incredibly awesome.

Because Scarlet Witch is a very strange character in Marvel's lore. She is sometimes good and sometimes evil. She is a member of the Avengers and usually likes to play a minor role, but she is often manipulated by villains who then steal her powers to destroy the world...

This is, of course, because Wanda's abilities themselves have the potential to destroy the world, just like when the Sentinels captured Wanda and then used her abilities to trigger a solar mutation, generating deadly heat radiation in an attempt to directly destroy humanity.

Furthermore, when Wanda later suffered a mental breakdown and went on a rampage after witnessing the deaths of her two sons, she actually wiped out all the superhumans in the world. No matter if you're Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, or Flash, you all had to go back to being ordinary people!

This is Wanda's chaos magic, which can modify reality without limit.

Most importantly, this ability has no upper limit. You never know what Wanda is capable of, nor do you know what she can't do...

Just like Phoenix, the ultimate being in the Marvel universe, she's a super being with all attributes classified as S-level, even stronger than the hidden boss Thanos. At least Thanos's speed didn't reach S-level. Moreover, Phoenix Jean's abilities are perfect: she can read minds, control things, turn lead into gold, fly, unleash phoenix-shaped shockwaves, resurrect the dead, manipulate time, freely travel to any time and dimension, and even connect with all life in the universe through her mind. If her abilities are powerful enough, she can even create black holes out of thin air for warp-time travel. She undoubtedly possesses the strongest abilities in Marvel...

But what many people may not know is that the X-Men five, who inherited the Phoenix Force, were ultimately destroyed by Wanda!

Of course, I'm not saying that Scarlet Witch Wanda is necessarily stronger than Phoenix Jean Grey, because Jean Grey is simply too perfect, but from Wanda's perspective, her chaos magic is equally omnipotent...

Okay, I've gone off on a tangent again without realizing it, and after saying so much, I haven't even gotten to the point.

The biggest advantage of being an emperor is that you can simply lie comfortably in the palace and enjoy life, leaving the dangerous and demanding tasks to others... There are emperors who do everything themselves, but they usually don't live long, so Qin Feng is definitely not that kind of emperor.

Therefore, Bai Hao and his group are in a pretty bad situation. In this snowy winter, especially in the western plateau of the empire, it is extremely cold and freezing. Normally, one has to be extra careful when walking in this kind of weather. But then the emperor gave an order to go to war.

Is this some kind of torture?

Therefore, Bai Hao was firmly opposed to sending troops at this time from the beginning. After all, in such extremely cold weather, not to mention the soldiers' combat effectiveness, it would be difficult to keep up with the supply...

In particular, the Qin Empire's battle plan this time is to penetrate deep into the Indian Empire. According to Qin Feng's plan, to capture the enemy, you must first capture the king. If you're going to fight, you should fight hard. If the Indian Empire cuts off the rear and the supply line is disrupted, all the Qin soldiers will be wiped out.

Therefore, Bai Hao was very worried...

But Qin Feng still made the decisive decision: Fight!

What's there to be afraid of? This weather is mutual. We're having a hard time, but the Indian Empire is having an even harder time. And most importantly, they probably think the same way you do. They don't consider that war might break out this season, so their army, their defenses, and their supplies are all in a state of disarray!

In this situation, when the Qin Empire's army suddenly appeared, what could the Indian Empire do to react in time?

Even if a reaction is made, it still takes time to activate, right?

But war is all about surprise!

Therefore, without a doubt, this time difference is what Qin Feng is trying to gain now. After all, the distance from the border of the Indian Empire to its capital Mengcheng is only a little over a thousand kilometers, and it is a flat plain. As long as Bai Hao's army is fast enough, then... the result may be a pleasant surprise!

Then Bai Hao was really convinced.

However, what truly gave him confidence was the twenty griffins that Qin Feng would then entrust to him...

As everyone probably remembers, Qin Feng discussed the issue of introducing griffins with Pope Randolph of Light at the very beginning. Unfortunately, due to economic reasons, the breeding of griffins in the Western Continent has gradually declined, and the number of griffins has decreased significantly. Currently, including the young griffins that are still being trained, there are less than two hundred in total!

Therefore, Qin Feng's dream of building an air force may have to be postponed indefinitely, because the first batch of griffins that the Great Qin Empire introduced from the Western Continent numbered only about fifty, and half of them were juvenile griffins.

But this time, Qin Feng simply waved his hand and gave twenty adult griffins to Bai Hao, and told him the correct way to use them... With this aerial reconnaissance soldier who can ignore wind and snow weather and has excellent visibility, how could any troop movement of the Indian Empire escape Bai Hao's control?

And with these guys around, how is the Indian Empire going to cut off the Qin Empire's supply lines? Mei, are you there? Lin Zaikong, are you there...?

So, in the winter of the first year of the Jiaqing reign of the Qin Empire, after a verbal battle that lasted for more than a month, the Qin Empire suddenly launched an attack on the Indian Empire without any warning. The Indian Empire did not even receive any warning. The Qin Empire's army of 200,000 men had already broken through the fragile defenses of the border with lightning speed and then rushed towards the capital Mengcheng. Even the heaviest blizzard could not stop the Qin Empire's advance!

The Indian Empire was completely caught off guard and utterly bewildered!

On the one hand, they did not expect the Qin Empire to be so unreasonable, launching an attack without prior notice!

On the other hand, they never expected anyone to start a war in such a harsh winter. So everything was just as Qin Feng had predicted. The Indian Empire was completely unprepared for war. Therefore, when they learned that 200,000 troops of the Great Qin Empire were heading straight for Mengcheng, the whole country panicked!

But what was even more critical was that although Emperor Gandy of the Indian Empire had temporarily mobilized troops from several locations to rush to the capital for rescue, either the distances were too far and they might not arrive in time, or the distances were too close and... by the time the orders arrived, the place was already littered with corpses!

Chapter 189: Seven Days of Capturing Emperor Gandy

After all, Bai Hao never fights a battle unprepared. More than four months ago, when Qin Feng told him that the strategic goal was to change the Xi Empire to the Indian Empire, he began to frequently send people to collect intelligence on the Indian Empire.

Because the Indian Empire frequently encounters merchants coming and going—after all, merchants from the Western Continent all have to pass through here to reach the Great Qin—they are not very wary of outsiders. In particular, they often find excuses to take tips and take advantage of others, which gives outsiders even more opportunities to spy on them!

So, unsurprisingly, Bai Hao had thoroughly studied the troop deployment of the Indian Empire long ago. Before the war began, he had also carefully considered how to expand the results of the war as soon as possible while reducing the enemy's defensive strength to the greatest extent. Therefore, after entering Indian territory, the first thing he did was to eliminate the two military bases that could block the Qin army's advance as soon as possible!

Then, thanks to their aerial reconnaissance advantage and the Indian Empire's complete lack of awareness of the war, especially with the cover of the bad weather, the Indian army was completely unaware of the Qin army's arrival. And that was it; the Indian army's resistance could only be described as weak!

Five days later, the Qin Empire's army of 200,000 men arrived outside Mengcheng, the capital of the Indian Empire. At this time, although the Indian Empire still had three large and well-organized armies on their way to the rescue, they were completely unprepared, and the terrible weather was severely hindering their progress, so it was feared that they would not arrive in time...

As expected, the defense forces of the capital of the Indian Empire only lasted for one day before they had no choice but to surrender!

This was because the Qin Empire's army launched a fierce offensive that caught them completely off guard and they were utterly unable to withstand it!

The news caused a global uproar!

The Qin Empire actually destroyed the Indian Empire in just seven days after the start of the war?

This is simply unbelievable... even unimaginable!

On the surface, the Indian Empire was quite powerful, with over a million regular troops. Although its military strength wasn't top-tier in the Eastern Continent, it was consistently among the top few. Yet, it was destroyed in less than seven days, with its capital, Mengcheng, falling and the entire palace being wiped out!

To be honest, Bai Hao didn't expect this result either...

According to his and Qin Feng's plan, when his army arrived in Mengcheng, they might encounter very strong resistance. After all, it was the capital of a country, and it was not so easy to take it down.

Therefore, he would immediately occupy the terrain to form a siege, and together with the second batch of Qin troops that arrived later, he would ambush and fight against Indian's rescue forces, striving to force Indian's emperor to take the initiative to seek peace. At this time, the Qin Empire could then make demands on him!

You want peace, or you want me to let you go?

Sure, give me a piece of your territory, and we don't want much, just a stretch from the border to the western seaport! Mei, are you there yet? I'm empty, you're there...

In short, I want to ensure the trade security of my Great Qin Empire. I do not trust your Indian Empire and I am unwilling to be coerced by you at will!

However, no one expected that on the first day of feigned attacks and applying pressure, Bai Hao astutely discovered that he could observe the deployment and movement of all troops in Mengcheng from the air using griffins. In this way, he knew exactly where the city's defenses were strong and weak. Thus, the feigned attack turned into a real battle, and he launched a fierce attack on the weakest point in Mengcheng's defenses. As a result, the Indian Empire was completely dumbfounded. They were already unprepared, and coupled with the disparity in strength between their commanders, they were now being thoroughly humiliated by the Qin Empire's army!

In just half a day, the Qin army broke through the defenses of Mengcheng...

Bai Hao's command was also decisive. He ordered the army to surround the palace and, after a fierce attack lasting nearly three hours, captured the terrified Emperor Gandi of Indian, along with all his empresses, concubines, princes, and grandsons. Now, the Indian Empire had no choice but to surrender!

Most importantly, Bai Hao's retreat was also very decisive. He did not covet the riches and wealth of Mengcheng, the capital of the Indian Empire, nor did he allow his soldiers to loot or plunder. After capturing the royal family of the Indian Empire, he decisively led his troops away.

Before the remaining troops of the Indian Empire arrived in Mengcheng, Bai Hao had already retreated to a safe distance and joined up with the second batch of Qin troops who had entered the Indian Empire with a large amount of supplies. Then he left without looking back!

When the Indian Empire's reinforcements finally reached the border, they found over 500,000 Qin troops waiting in full force... As for Emperor Gandi of the Indian Empire and his royal family, they were already on their way to the Qin capital.

Has the Indian Empire been destroyed?

That's not necessarily true, but since the emperor was wiped out in the capital, the war was clearly a complete and utter defeat, and an incredibly humiliating one!

Therefore, with the overall situation already decided, not a single country on either the eastern or western continent stood up to speak for the Indian Empire. Even some countries that had always been on good terms with Indian chose to remain silent.
