Chapter 284: The Last Rest
Time flies.
After the airship was proven to be useful, human beings officially launched a conquest to the sky, two years, hundreds of production lines produced day and night, so that the human sky was flying huge airships all the time, plus the year before the airship, the two years of the conquest of the Fog Gray Province, and the Armageddon with Mordor in a blink of an eye, a full five years have passed, five years, how long.
This is also the fifteenth year that Lelouch has come to Middle-earth, and today Lelouch is 30 years old!
Lelouch's prestige is becoming more and more grand, the whole human race is twisted into a rope, a force, up to 200 million people to provide a steady stream of manpower for the construction of the empire, although the population structure of the minor population is a staggering 50 million, but the developed productive forces make the current one farmer enough to feed six people (one American farmer on the modern earth is enough to feed twelve people), in another three years, the empire will once again usher in a big explosion of development.
But even if there is only 150 million adult population, excluding the old and weak, there are 120 million people, which is not the largest race in Middle-earth, but it is definitely a lot, and the wealth of the population allows the empire to do a lot of things.
The application of airships has allowed remote areas to join the fast lane of the empire's development, countless villages have been integrated with higher density again, steam engines have been spread in almost every human village, and the land of human beings has been covered with traces of the new era:
The vast land, countless smoke rushes scattered in all directions, the transcontinental railway is constantly whistling steam trains, the giant city is magnificent, vigorous atmosphere, the flying airships in the sky are one after another, as if covering the entire sky, even the Mo farmland is endless, the emerald green land is infinite vitality, clustered steam factories are producing day and night, countless industrial product assembly lines flow into the entire empire, and the magicians who are officially included in the imperial system are wielding their magic sticks, Lighting a magic lamp for the city, the cat man drives a civilian robot to undertake a lot of physical work.
Human beings have opened mountains and reclaimed the sea, the earth has been reshaped, the once legendary records are now possible, magic is unprecedentedly prosperous in the human world, the steam revolution and magical civilization are perfectly combined with each other, the first generation of magic crystal cannons have begun to be installed in Hornfort, and the humans of Middle-earth rely on the combination of magic and technology, still skipping the development of thermal weapons, and taking steps towards the era of energy weapons.
Demon martial arts products have been successfully streamlined production, the Praetorian Guard has changed all members of the Demon Martial Arts equipment, the officers of the Garrison Army and the Guardian Army and the two major knights have also changed their costumes, and more advanced magic forging technology has begun to be fully promoted, although it is far from reaching the level of the forbidden spell that destroys the world, but the era of national cultivation is still open, and human beings have completely asked for the civilization system of the old era and the Middle Ages, steampunk, officially enveloping the entire earth.
Human beings are singing almost every night, the vast land, the large population, the developed production capacity, the advanced science and technology, the perfect culture, countless beautiful things come one after another, the newly built giant elephant of the Son of God stands in front of the white tower of the city like a giant who created the world, the magnificent holy cathedral at the foot holds a grand mass every day, the priests are gorgeously dressed, the people are full of spirit, and the hymns sung high over and over again permeate the entire huge city.
The regular air fleet cruises every year bring endless high morale to mankind, and the terrifying fleet that covers the sky and the sun all shows absolute power, the continuous fleet of ships on the Dragon River, the long caravans that never stop on the roads, and the trains that pull endless supplies, exerting the authority of the empire on every inch of land.
The garrison dutifully guarded the land, the imperial knights roared across every border, the white national flag fluttered in every land where the human race arrived, the recruits walked out of the training ground one after another, the cannons went down the assembly line one by one, the huge Alduin continued to take shape in the huge factory, and the imperial army grew bigger and stronger!
Xungui is busy venting force, the people are busy creating wealth, engineers and magicians are exploring the mysteries of knowledge, the bright magic tower is forever flashing with the light of the arcane that will not be extinguished, the magnificent steam city is forever filled with the roar of machinery, fifteen years of development, the empire is still ahead of the entire Middle-earth, once the first power of the old era, and it is time for the final reckoning, Lelouch has decided that after the fifteenth New Year, mankind will launch the final war against the Black Land!
Whew~~~ Bang!
With the brilliant fireworks, the empire ushered in the fifteenth New Year.
At the Shrine of Augustus, officials from all over the empire happily talked about their political achievements, how many raw materials the Fog Gray Province had provided, how much farmland had been opened, how many trade routes had been created in the Central Province, how many taxes had been paid, how much technology and the army had made great progress in the heaven-given land, and countless officials were dressed in straight clothes and raised their glasses to celebrate.
In this year's palace, many messengers of dwarves and elves have also come, and even the high king of the dwarves, Olaf and the elven emperor Estelle, have also come to the White City, because in addition to the New Year's dinner today, the final battle plan against Mordor will be determined.
The dwarves danced merrily, raised their glasses high, poured the barrel full of cold beer into their stomachs, and then made a huge burp, and then raised a second cup in the laughter of the crowd, and the elven and human officials held goblets and red wine, and whispered around in the beautiful palace, with elegant smiles on their faces.
Lelouch sat in the middle of the head, Estelle sat in the left rear, Olaf sat in the right rear, they communicated with each other with smiles, especially Lelouch and Estelle, with infinite smiles on their faces, although the smile on Olaf's face was not particularly relaxed, but the anxiety in his eyes that had been there, but finally there was a hint of relaxation, since he wanted to solve Mordor, then he must first help the dwarves solve the black hand, and the dwarves who had many disasters seemed to finally usher in a long period of peace and peace.
The coalition may usher in the last great integration!
"In this decisive battle, I don't know how many elves can come out?"
"In the past few years, our elves have indeed developed a lot of strength, but after all, the place where we need to employ people is also right, so this time our elves will dispatch 200,000 troops, 500 war ancient trees, 20,000 wood spirit marksmen, and the entire golden fleet that can hit the entrance of the Black Land!"
Estelle still had a hint of smugness on his face after speaking, although he didn't have many people, but he still took out the scale of the army far beyond that year, and he didn't hesitate to take out the most powerful golden fleet in the entire Middle Earth, the sincerity is not insufficient, Lelouch nodded with satisfaction, and he looked at Olaf again:
"My friend, I wonder how many dwarves can produce after solving the black hand?"
"In order to solve the biggest evil in Middle-earth, of course, the dwarves will not leave it alone, after solving the black hand, the dwarves will dispatch 50,000 elite warriors, 5,000 argali-knights, 500 artillery, and 30,000 musketeers!"
The power of the dwarves is really not good, in this kind of final battle, the troops dispatched are not even half of the elves of the avenue, although the promoter of all this has the power of humans and elves, but at this time no one will say anything, after all, they are still in a community of interests, after Olaf finished speaking, Lelouch still cast a satisfied gaze, and did not forget to add:
"Friend, we are also very sympathetic to the situation of the dwarves, and I will allocate another 50,000 tons of food and all kinds of daily necessities to support you, hoping to tide over the difficulties with you!"
After Olaf and Estelle scolded shamelessly in their hearts, Olaf was very 'moved' and stood up and hugged Lelouch:
"Thank you and my friends, you humans will always be our dwarves' best friends and brothers, and the dwarves will not forget your help!"
After saying this kind word, Lelouch finally began to introduce the troops of the Terrans:
"In this decisive battle, our Terran will go all out, the three major provinces will be full of combat power, and our Terran will dispatch a total of 500,000 troops, including 450,000 garrisons and religious guards, 5,000 fighting machines, 3,000 artillery, 15 Alduin-class airships, 40 auxiliary anti-aircraft gunboats, 750 dragon vulture knights, The barbarian bear rode 5,000, and at the same time there were 20,000 of my Praetorian Guards, plus officers and staff officers, a total of 500,000 people, and at the same time, according to the old rules, the logistics of the coalition army will be borne by the empire, and the allies don't have to worry about supplies at all!"
Lelouxiu's shot is also heroic, who can believe that this is only fifteen years, the human race has such a huge army, and the combat effectiveness completely crushes other forces of the same era, even if it is an elf, in the face of such a powerful army, they dare not talk about any offensive words, they can only try it on defense.
After agreeing on the number of troops to be sent, they began to discuss when to fight, this time because the coalition forces took the initiative to attack, so they had plenty of time, there is no doubt that the first thing that needs to be solved is the Black Hand Clan of the Sacred Mountains, although the dwarves have worked hard to recapture the Supreme Royal City, but in the face of a pile of rubble of the Royal City, the dwarves really have no strength to repair the city, they are now preparing for a decisive battle against the final gathering place of the Black Hand, but the strength of the dwarves alone is really limited, especially after the Black Hand Clan accepted the beastmen from the Fog Gray Province, their combat effectiveness has been unprecedentedly developed。
Therefore, the problem of the mafia clan must be the first to be solved, and if the black hand is solved, the alliance of the three clans will carry out an integration training for half a year, and the coalition must really be built into an iron plate, and there will be no more rush like the last time.
After having a general plan, the whole atmosphere is finally relaxed, Olaf even drank two large bowls of beer, beer is a treasure for lovers, dwarves only from the contact with beer, he is completely inseparable from him, even in the case of the royal city has not been recovered, the dwarves have also given priority to increase the production of beer, this approach is very similar to the Soviet Union's woolly bears, and can ensure that vodka can be continuously transported to the front, and do not care whether the front line is not enough artillery, Lack of tanks (in fact, the lack of equipment in the Soviet Union refers to the lack of artillery, machine guns, tanks and other equipment, guns are completely sufficient, there is no possibility of 'soldiers coming to the city' situation, each person has a gun is completely guaranteed. )
The dwarves' love for beer is beyond that, almost every time the reserve beer of the Lelouch Palace comes after the dwarves, it will usher in a generation, the dwarves' big bellies seem to be a bottomless pit, how can they not fill it, for this situation Lelouch doesn't care, and there is no shortage of these three melons and two dates, why be stingy?
The whole party was pushed to a climax under the relaxed state of the three emperors above the mouth, the food was constantly served, beer and red wine barrels after barrels, humans, elves, dwarves, three alliances formed a hundred years ago, seemed to have a tacit understanding, this tacit understanding made the party extraordinarily grand, this time for Mordor, the coalition is very likely to win, no, it will definitely win, then they can't help but think about what happened after the war.
After Mordor is destroyed by them, there will be only three of them left in Middle-earth, and the hearts of the people will be separated, who knows what the other party will think? After Mordor is finished, maybe the three of them will have to divide another victory? Of course, maybe this is just speculation between them, but the necessary precautions still need to be there, and this means that if Mordor is destroyed, the coalition will also be destroyed, and the new era will be a new era for their three clans.
Lelouch left the palace after sitting for a while, Olaf came down to cheer with the crowd, and Estelle looked at the departing Lelouch with a slight envy and helplessness, and sighed and left towards his residence.
The top of the White Tower is still empty, and the sky without industrial pollution (the steam engine emits water vapor, not pollution!) looks a different kind of beauty, the starry sky that seems to be close at hand is dazzling, sitting under the dead tree, looking up, letting the cool evening breeze from the top of the snow-capped mountains in the distance fill his body, people will always be in reverie at this moment, for example, whether the earth will exist in these starlight.
Lelouch misses home? Yes, especially since Lelouch has not yet married in Middle-earth, and the only one who has a good impression of Lilith is far and near, which makes Lelouch have an unreal feeling, he looks at Lilith who is sitting under the sacred tree as always, looking up at the starry sky, and his heart is inexplicably melancholy, fifteen years, fifteen years have changed a lot, especially at this turning point, more has changed, and it also makes Lelouch more nostalgic for distant relatives and memories.
"Hey, I'll give you something!"
Lilith's words came from afar!
