Chapter 484: Eternal Fall
The post-war disposition was almost always Fat Orange's decision, and it seems that after the grudge with the crow has come to fruition, Fat Orange has become more active in caring about his country.
I probably haven't done one big thing in the past, so I don't have the mood to care about anything else.
Once the big things are done, I am finally in the mood to deal with other things.
The first problem is to deal with the crow, Fat Orange leaves the ice spirit in the crow's body, according to the characteristics of the ice spirit, the crow will be frozen all the time, and the ice spirit will absorb energy until the ice spirit energy is exhausted.
However, as long as the Ice Spirit is in an environment with source energy, it will absorb the source energy from the surrounding area to supply itself, so Fat Orange decides to place the Crow and the Ice Spirit in a place with sufficient source energy, and the Ice Spirit will suppress the crow that is drained by its energy until its longevity is exhausted.
This can be regarded as a-for-tat revenge against the crow, Fat Tangerine also experienced a state of total energy back then, and was almost exhausted and died.
As for the place where there is plenty of energy, it is naturally an obelisk.
Under the guidance of Kaja, Fat Orange took refuge in the crow's treasury, which contained more than fifty keys to the obelisk, plus the treasury of the Western Sahara Empire that he forcibly demanded, Fat Orange controlled most of the obelisk in his hands.
By reading the documents collected by the crow, Fat Tangerine also knows the true function of the obelisk, seizing and storing the source energy between heaven and earth, and using this energy to stimulate the awakening of human source energy.
The obelisk that the royal family of Cesara collected the keys to are all obelisks that have no extra energy left after awakening the twelve-year-old boy every year, and the crow will give these keys away at random, so that someone who is destined to control those obelisks.
However, the remaining obelisk is kept by the crows themselves, entering it every few decades to drain the accumulated energy.
However, these keys only have partial control over the Obelisk, cannot change the way the Obelisk works, and the only purpose is to enter the Energy Storage Room without triggering the Obelisk to defend itself.
Although there is no energy surplus, those energy storage rooms are the most hidden treasure rooms. Therefore, many sects or families regarded the key of the obelisk as the core treasure, and passed it down for thousands of years, until they were defeated by Western Sahara the Great and took control of the obelisk from them.
And the inheritance of the Burning Flame Valley is that after being defeated by the Emperor of Western Sahara, there are heirs who escaped with the key, and there are really not many keys left behind.
The key in Kay's hand must have been given to Kay's mother by the crow, but Kay didn't find the obelisk corresponding to the key.
Fat Orange guessed that once an obelisk could no longer store energy, the crow would throw away its keys, and the last fifty or so rings were still "valuable".
But with these keys, it becomes easy to deal with crows.
Fattenay finds the key to the Imperial Obelisk, which is said to be the most abundant place to store energy, and Fatty eventually locks the crow in the storage room of the Imperial Obelisk and collects the key himself.
What makes Fat Tangerine feel a little uneasy is that, according to the document written by Big Dream to the crow about the performance of the obelisk, there should still be a "master key" that can control all the obelisks. It's a pity that the crow didn't get it either, otherwise she would have set each obelisk to only absorb source energy, and it would not help humans awaken, and all the energy absorbed would be available for her cultivation.
Maybe this general key is on Da Meng himself, then it should disappear with Da Meng's body in the destruction caused by the spatial folding.
Maybe Big Dream has hidden it somewhere else, just like he secretly hides his other half of his soul, who knows?
After entering and exiting the obelisk several times, Fat Orange discovers that if he enters the obelisk with a key, he can destroy it without any resistance.
After some thought, Fat Orange decided to destroy more than half of the one hundred and sixty obelisks and restore the world to an era of abundant energy, just like before the War of the Gods, touching the modifications made by Big Dream without permission.
Some of the obelisks he will leave behind are considered to take special care of humans.
He did not announce this decision to the public. He quietly forced Charles to hand over the key to the obelisk controlled by the royal family of Western Sahara in exchange for his freedom with the new army and the Sakasen Knights.
The Charles accepted this offer and, having raised the key to the obelisk, withdrew to Saxony through the Desert of Death with his defeated army.
Here Fat Orange still played a trick, he only let go of the Royal Northern Region and the army of Saxony, but did not release the Model Army and the artillery units of the Duchy of Baptiste. Just go and listen to the book
On the one hand, these two tribes were the most damaging to Royol, and he needed to punish them in order to give an account to his subjects, so the surviving more than 100,000 people were all assigned to work in the mines.
On the other hand, even if the Duchy of Stuart came to ask for some benefits in exchange for the release of prisoners of war, Fat Orange ignored it, he wanted to weaken the Duchy of Stuart, and naturally someone would use knives against allies who had lost too much blood.
If everyone forbears, he will first destroy some of the obelisks in Stuart, leaving it wounded and wounded.
To his surprise, Fat Orange's plan to destroy the obelisk had not yet come to fruition, and Robert and Charles took the lead in attacking Stuart.
That's when Robert's hidden military power was finally revealed. Naturally, he also trained an all-firearms unit similar to the New Army and the Model Army, although the number is not large, only 100,000 people, but the equipment is much more advanced than the two predecessors.
In addition to the various artillery pieces, Robert's "revolutionary army" was also equipped with a metal shell rear-loading repeating musket similar to the black master's equipment of Ugin Wei, and the cavalry of more than 10,000 people was also equipped with repeating shotguns and repeating rifles.
Coupled with a sudden attack with mental calculations and unintentionalities, taking advantage of the emptiness of the Duchy of Stuart, he occupied most of its territory in one go.
Later, Charles intervened to stop it, and Robert relented, and the Duchy of Stuart was left with only a dozen or so cities around Lundinium, almost the size of the South Carolina Federation established by Robert when he was divided.
However, the seized territory was not annexed by the Duchy of Baptiste alone, but was divided into half to the royal family, which not only made up for the "blood loss" that was previously divided between the two countries, but also had a surplus.
This is not the most significant event that has occurred in the year since the defeat of Emperor Shire's invasion of the Kingdom of Light.
It doesn't count as a magnificently occupied Medith.
The armies of the Kingdom of Light marched into the Medis region and took over the city defenses and treasury.
However, this time instead of expelling people who are not cults of the god of light as they did in the central region before, everything is business as usual, and even the administrator of the city has not changed much, just changed the suzerain.
This is still not the most significant event.
The Regions of York City and Cippewa then announced the merger of the two regions and established their own state, known as the Western Continent Federation.
This event had long been tacitly approved by the Empire and the Kingdom of Light, but Hoffa lost the competition with Owen and failed to become the first supreme governor of the new Federation, the President of the Federation.
The defeated Hoffa became the speaker of the federal parliament and hoped to defeat Owen as president in the next election.
And that's not the most significant event.
The kingdom of the sun god has quietly disappeared, and the new god of the Bolias has become the god of light.
It doesn't seem shocking enough.
The most significant event of the post-war year was the fall of the Obelisk!
Not all the obelisks, 160 obelisks, 120 fell.
People wake up one night, open the windows, and find that the base and a few pieces of rubble of the obelisk in the center of the city are gone.
In those days, people watched the news every day about which cities had no obelisk today, and which of their own city was still there.
After a month, the obelisk no longer disappeared, and according to the statistics, there were only forty left.
That's when people learned that nothing lasts forever, and even the obelisk, which is said to exist forever, will fall.
But soon the transcendents found that cultivation became easier, and at first they thought it was their own progress, but later they found that everyone felt the same.
