The Baltic Empire will not let the North Sea Pirate Kingdom perish in the short term, because even after three years of development, Finland and Karelia have completely become part of the empire, and the Rus' side has already completed the pacification work, but the development has just entered the right track, and it is not a wise choice to start a war at this time.

"How's the millennium war going over there?"

Three years had not left any marks on Semiramis's face, and she asked as she gently shook the goblet with bright red wine in her hand.

The bright red wine exudes an intoxicating glow under the light, as if it is like blood, and it seems like the red lips that make people laugh uncontrollably, such a color is something that all people who think they are noble cannot refuse, too

Wine, this sweet and delicious wine made from crystal clear purple grapes, in the Northland, because of the soil, precipitation, temperature, etc., this fruit cannot survive in the wild, so if you want to taste this kind of wine in the Northland, you can only buy it through merchants at a large cost, or you can get it from the hands of those druids.

As an economic powerhouse and an empire that occupied the golden shipping routes of the Baltic Sea, wine was not uncommon, but this glass in the hands of Semiramis was different, it was a wine made by the druids of the Ministry of Agriculture who had been trained to make wine from grapes that could grow naturally in an environment like the Northland.

This means that grapes can be cultivated as a cash crop in the lower mountains of the Northlands, and it is conceivable that through the cultivation of grapes and the production of wine, a large amount of land that was once unusable will be utilized, and wine is a high-end product, which can be extremely profitable after being advertised and packaged.

Of course, it will take some time for the grapes to be successfully tested and promoted, and the druids of the Ministry of Agriculture still need to improve the variety, upgrade the technology of making wine, and mass produce it with improved taste, in addition to training farmers in the art of growing grapes.

The cup in Semiramis's hand was the first success, and although it may not taste as good as the famous wines, it was of extraordinary significance to the Baltic Empire.

"A thousand-year war? This war can't last for a thousand years, Thor, the god of Thor, of Asgard, has entered the battlefield, and I think there will be ten years before this war will stop. ”

Alice groaned and said her judgment, the addition of the gods has been out of her control, so that she can not accurately predict the trend of the war, which is why she let the capital of the dead be exposed, only by developing herself, and being strong, she is not afraid of all risks.

"Thor, Thor, he is involved in the war because the giants are involved in the war, and if the giants leave this war, then he will leave too. ”

This is the information that Semiramis received from her mother, and the gods are innumerable in this world, but the circle is so large, even if they have not met each other, their information is exchanged.

"Is there a war on the Erin Continent?"

Alice still understands this, her number one clone and Skaha are at war on the continent of Harlem, fighting against those deep sea giants and helping the gods there.

I have to say that the power of the deep sea giant is indeed very strong, even if it is at the same legendary level, and Alice is still the strongest of the legends, she can't achieve an overwhelming victory in a one-on-one battle with the deep sea giant.

On the one hand, the giants of the deep sea possess terrifying powers, strong life force, immunity to a large number of magical attacks, and on the other hand, their eyes can give death to those they see.

Even Alice, who is already an undead in a sense, is not completely immune to the death gaze used by the Giants of the Depths, and if hit, she will be unable to move for three seconds, and will fall into a state of weakness, limb weakness, and dizziness.

Skaha's side is a little better, because she has a lot of combat experience with such a large existence, and those magic spears in her hand [Gayaberg] can effectively deal with the ability to restore vitality.

But even so, the warriors of the Erin Continent are still very unfavorable, and the gods are retreating one after another, and the hope of victory is getting slimmer and slimmer.

"It's not good, but it's not bad, and this war is going to go on for a long time. ”

The hope of victory is getting slimmer, but it's not that it doesn't, and Alice has realized that the key to victory in this war lies with the leader of the Giants of the Deep.

The death gaze of the giant of the deep sea was something that even the gods could not resist, and the fact that it only took a glance to bring a god to death was the main reason why they were able to gain an advantage and march towards victory.

But on the other hand, if the leader who can defeat them can defeat them, the Giants of the Deep will collapse quickly and directly, and the other giants will not be able to kill a god at a glance.

"If the war on the Irene Continent can't end, then it's conceivable that the Millennial War will continue. ”

"Well, yes. ”

"War, no matter how cruel the war is, from another point of view, is an excellent opportunity for the old forces to reshuffle and the new strength to rise. ”

"Well, I've done that. ”

Alice nodded, the City of the Dead is now in the midst of rapid development, through the trade of tomb earth golems and blood-derived potions, a lot of wealth has been obtained and accumulated, and almost at a rapid rate, the City of the Dead is undergoing transformation.

In three years, the dragon tomb and elephant mound have been completed, and the finished product of the first bone dragon has soared in the sky of the capital of the dead, and the huge figure of the mammoth giant elephant has become a feared landscape in the capital of death.

In addition to the completion of the Dragon Tomb and the Elephant Mound, the Spiritualist Towers were also completed, and the powerful attraction was built into a vortex air wheel in the outer layer of the Dead City, and a large number of souls and soul fragments were captured by this air wheel every day, and they were attracted to the City of the Dead, and then became an integral member of the City of the Dead.

"Is there any news from Francis Drake's side, or have you decided to refuse the terms we are offering?"

"Well, that's right, she didn't even want to meet our envoy, it was she who made the choice before, and at this time she refused the olive branch we handed out, I don't know what she was thinking. ”

Alice was already a little indignant at this time, once, twice, three times, if it weren't for the sake of her former friendship, Alice would never have done such a thing.

It was rare that she did not take the interests of the empire as the highest standard, but made a decision with a little personal emotion.

"Of course she will refuse, you know, she was the one who made the choice and decided to stand on the opposite side of the Baltic Empire, and with her character and arrogance, she must have always felt guilty about us. ”

"Of course, there should be a little bit of anger and resentment in all these guiltes, no, no, I was wrong, if it was Francis Drake I knew, she would indeed be angry, she would indeed regret it, but she would never resent us. ”

"We are originally on opposite sides, there are fundamental differences in interests, and in such a situation, we treat her with the attitude of the enemy, and she will never have any resentment. ”

Semiramis comforted Alice as she understood why Alice always behaved emotionally in her treatment of Francis Drake, and even she couldn't completely abandon her friendship.

"Then continue to maintain the chaos in the North Sea, whether it is the North Sea or Scandinavia, their unification is not an acceptable good news for our empire. ”

Semiramis quickly changed the subject.

"The tribes of the Rus steppe have basically been pacified, except for a few who decided to continue to resist, the other tribes have either chosen to surrender, or have already left the Rus steppe. ”

"yes, so what are we going to focus on next, where to go, to continue to invest in the open south, or to send people to explore the Ural Mountains?"

Further east of the Rus' steppe are the Ural Mountains, a huge mountain range not inferior to the Norwegian Mountains, which directly isolate the two regions, and in the Ural Mountains, a large number of powerful creatures are hidden.

It is said that the Beamon of the Attila Empire was brought out of the Ural Mountains by Attila, and some eyewitnesses have reported that they have witnessed traces of extremely old dragons in the depths of the Ural Mountains.

"Things are slow down in the Ural Mountains, which are so barren that there are no other specialties except forests and wild beasts, and what is there, what our empire needs to pay for its development, is much more than what is gained. ”

The Empire needs to see a return on its resources, and the Ural Mountains, a region rife with dangers, no one would want to spend their resources there when they have the choice.

In the south of Jutland, there are traces of vampire activity in the black forest, but because the environment is too complicated, the team sent by the Baltic Empire does not bring much valuable information.

Because of the focus on the north, the empire did not send more than legendary forces to explore, but now that the situation within the empire has become stable, it is possible to free up the legendary and above forces to explore the forests in the south.

"Well, you're right, in addition, I think the exploration of the south can also be slowed down temporarily, after all, there is the Black Forest over there, and there is no race in our empire that can really exploit the resources in the forest. ”

"I remember there were elves and druids in our empire, right?"

When it comes to races living in the forest, most people will inevitably think of elves and druids first, followed by trolls, forest trolls, and ogres.

"The number of elves is so small, there are less than a thousand when all combined, and now the empire wants them to continue to reproduce and increase their population. ”

The elves can be regarded as a minority race in the empire, and the problem of numbers has always restricted the development of the elves, but it has to be said that the archers produced by the elves are the troops that the empire needs, so the empire has adopted a series of policies, hoping that the elves can reproduce a lot, and hope that they can have more children, even if those children are just mixed-race.

In addition to the elves, there are also dragons and giants who have also received the support of this reward, and even the empire has given a clear price tag, and the empire will reward them with a large fee for each additional child.

It has to be said that such a policy has played into the hands of the dragons, and in the course of three years, a large number of dragon beasts have appeared in the experimental grounds of the empire, which are used to study those spellcasters, to study the abilities of these dragon beasts, and whether these dragon beasts can be popularized within the empire.

While the dragons received a large amount of reward funds, their bodies also became more and more thin and weak, after all, the crazy reproduction activities were violently consuming their bodies.

The giants are the opposite of the dragons, they are not keen on reproduction, because their energy is focused on fighting and hunting, in order to allow them to enjoy the joy of fighting every day, the empire has built a large gladiatorial arena for them, and then arranged a professional medical unit for them, so that they can get treatment as soon as possible after being injured.

Back to the topic, the Empire will not consider overexploiting the forests of the south until there are enough elves, well, centaurs and gnolls can indeed live in the forests, but the Empire prefers to let these two races live in the plains and grasslands, and manage livestock and pastures rather than in the forests.

"The South and the East are on hold, so should we continue to focus on the West?"

"Well, I think so, if the western route is open, then our goods can be transported to the other side of the Mediterranean in a few days by the currents. ”

"And, now that Francis Drake's side is no longer a problem, she can't be an obstacle to our shipping lanes. ”

"We don't need to open up new shipping routes, didn't we get the route to the south from them when we defeated the Goblin Group before?

If you look at three years ago at this time, you can find that the biggest receipt that defeated the goblin group was to obtain their trade channels from their hands, which basically saved the Baltic Empire ten years of exploration time.
