With extremely complicated feelings, Odlek stood on the runway of the airport built by the new puppet empire capital of Sislia, waiting anxiously for Chris, the emperor of the Irlanhill Empire.

His position, or his former status, including his position in the wizarding world, had made him wait for someone so anxiously for a long, long time.

Even in the past, when he faced Travesh, he had never been so uneasy. After all, he was in the puppet empire at that time, and he was also a highly respected archmage.

As a result, he has now been promoted to a magic saint because of the tide of magical energy, but he is still standing here like this, like a subordinate waiting for his superiors to get out of the plane.

Times have changed, and this is something he deeply feels - the world has changed, changed into what he cannot understand.

Countless commodities appeared on the market, and a large amount of cheap food began to flood the market. Everyone began to have to worry about war and food and clothing, and even the threat of demons has really gone away.

Now there is a lot of development here, and the puppet empire has never been as open as it is today, nor has it ever been so weak.

Yes, weak! The new puppet empire is only one-fifth the size of the original, and the rest of the land is divided between the Norma Empire, Iran Hill, and Grican.

Alan Hill occupied more than half of the puppet empire's territory and kept a large garrison in the remaining one-fifth of the territory.

These garrisons are responsible for the security of the new puppet empire, and even most of its defense, which now has 300,000 troops, but most of these troops are ordinary soldiers with no magical abilities!

It seems like a lot of them, but these soldiers are the "old Iran Hill Grenaders", they are armed with Iran Hill's obsolete M42 steel helmets, use Iran Hill's obsolete tactical vests, and carry Mauser 98K bolt-action rifles that even Grecken would not use.

The army equipped with these weapons and equipment has no combat effectiveness at all when facing the army of Iran Hill, and even when they face the new army of Griken, they have no combat effectiveness to speak of.

Therefore, the new puppet empire can be said to be completely defenseless, and even the national economy has been completely hijacked by Iran Hill!

True, the country is now even its own economy collapsed. In order to stabilize the local economy and law and order, the new puppet empire completely uses Elland Hill's gold coins as an equivalent exchange, and even its own currency does not exist.

The local bank is the Royal Bank of Irand Hill, as well as competing banks such as Higgs Bank and Arrant Regional Bank - here it is the Irand Hill Imperial Bank, which is the financial administration of Iran Hill, and has nothing to do with the new puppet empire.

The right to issue currency and the movement of materials here are in the hands of the public servants of Irlanhill, or rather, in the hands of many of the great chaebols of Irlanhill.

The prices are drawn up by Iran Hill, the materials are allocated by Iran Hill, and the roads are built with the aid of Iran Hill...... Even Oldlek's advisory group, most of them are mortals from Iran Hill......

The only thing that made Oldlek happy was that he had kept the title of the puppet empire, the nominal existence of the empire - or rather, the last trace of the ethereal dignity of the magic empire.

At least...... The empire is now getting better little by little, and this is the hope that sustains all the magicians up and down the new puppet empire.

They did witness a miracle, a miracle created by Ellen Hill! The day after the puppet empire surrendered, the distant, once mysterious and now overly powerful Iran Hill stabilized the prices of the new puppet empire.

As truckloads of expiring Bud mustard are dumped like garbage in the central square of Sisliya, the new puppet empire finally realizes how big the gap between the two sides really is.

"I don't want money! As long as you can fit it, you can take it and eat it! When the officer of Iran Hill, who was standing in the square, dismissively pointed to the imposing mustard boxes like a hill and shouted at the onlookers of the new puppet empire, the prices here fell to a level never seen before.

Subsequently, hundreds of boxes of cheap instant noodles and bread as hard as bricks entered the market of the new puppet empire, all from the Gluck and Norma empire......

Now Iran Hill disdains to sell these cheap goods. It has cedered the equipment for the production of all kinds of small commodities and small foods, retaining only its own needs, and no longer competing with other empires for export share.

However, when the Norma Empire found that its empire exported 200 people's cars to buy an F-16 fighter jet, their fragile national industrial system was exposed to all those in power in the empire.

"We should be thankful that we're making more money than we've had in the last decade. We can buy a lot of things now, but Ellen Hill can buy the gods of this world......" said a Greccan magician.

"Go over all your preparations again and make no mistakes...... Oldlek looked uneasily at his colleague as he looked at the expensive watch made by Iran Hill on his wrist.

The old man, who was already an archmage, nodded slightly, and then retreated to the back row, telling a few apprentices to hurry up and check the other preparations at the airport.

Standing not far away, the Iran Hill ambassador to the new puppet empire, as well as the embassy military attaché, the agents of the Royal Special Missions Department who arrived early, and several Iran Hill magicians in eagle robes are also checking the second process, they are responsible for the safety of His Majesty the Emperor.

"Check the surroundings of the airport again, the gun supervision has been out of control, and the guns hidden by the people have been ten or even a hundred times as many as before, in this case, long-distance assassination is also possible, don't be careless!" The leading officer waited for the special plane, which symbolized the Emperor of the Irlanhill Empire, to appear in the sky.

Everyone was very nervous, the 3rd Army Group, who was also the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Front, a real feudal official, and the first general of the empire, Wilkes, stood at the front, even a little higher than Odlek's position.

He was also waiting, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor, whom he hadn't seen for a year. Everyone could see that this general, who commanded millions of elite Elan Hill and had more power than other emperors, was a little small at this moment...... Nervous.
