The development of an empire is multifaceted, and the development of Alan Hill, although rapid, is also divided into many stages.

At the time of Elanhill's annexation of the Arrant Empire, the Dosen Empire, the merger of Higgs, and the swallowing of Veronsa, the population of this empire was completely sufficient.

Most of these areas are predominantly mortal, densely populated, and have a very strong workforce.

So at this stage, the Irlanhill Empire is not short of human resources. Even because these places are labor-intensive agricultural countries with large populations, the Irlanhill Empire even has a bit of a surplus of manpower.

But with the expansion of the empire, the area occupied by the Ellanhill Empire is not just a mortal empire in the traditional sense: although Aeranhill also occupies the populous Palak Empire and the Jesno Empire, it also annexes magical empires such as the Holy Demon Empire.

The areas occupied by Elanhill have all gone through large-scale wars, including the Bameihir Empire, which was slaughtered by demons, the Southern Kingdom, and parts of the Eternal Empire and the puppet empire that suffered heavy losses in the war.

Recently, the Iran Hill Empire has begun to expand in the Demon Realm, adopting a policy of exorcism and revenge against demons, which has created a large number of no-man's lands in the Demon Realm, which also requires a large amount of labor to fill it.

These areas have been affected by the war, the losses have been enormous, and the reconstruction work will require a lot of time and energy, as well as a lot of people and money – so Irlanhill, which had no shortage of labor, is finally starting to become overstretched.

Hearing Chris's words, Andrea, the former queen of the elven clan, shook her head and said, "This is the decision of the Iran Hill Empire, it is your decision, I have no opinion." As the Duke of the Empire, I unconditionally support His Majesty's decision. ”

She is reluctant to participate in this kind of problem, the elven race has just been attached, and it is obviously unwise to take sides on this kind of issue.

In other words, of course she wants to stand in line, but the side she chooses is firmly on the side of the strong royal family.

Andrea, who is very experienced in political struggles, is more sophisticated than Chris thought, and she has not even used her mind for a second to clearly judge her position in the Irranhill Empire.

She is the Elven Grand Duke, a new aristocratic class attached to the royal family of Elland Hill. Her political status depends entirely on the Emperor's trust, so she must also unconditionally support all the decisions of His Majesty the Emperor as a new nobleman.

It is impossible for the seemingly powerful capital groups and other political groups to share the cake with the new aristocratic group, and once the emperor falls, the new aristocratic group will be the object of liquidation.

Therefore, this old queen, who has been sitting in the position of the elven queen for thousands of years, knows that once Chris's imperial power falls, whether she Andrea, the Grand Duke of Ironforge Castle Sumolai, or the prime minister Dragon Tate Desel - they are all the ones who are divided into the cake, not the one who divides the cake.

So Andrea naturally supports Chris, she supports Chris, unconditionally.

"That's what Grand Duke Sumolae said, too." Chris nodded, knowing that this group of veteran athletes who had been backstroke for centuries or even a dozen centuries in the political vortex could not make a mistake at such a time.

Time can sometimes imprison any progress, and it alone can accumulate the most thorough experience.

It's like in the earth's civilization, science and technology that has flourished in 100 years can defeat the political wisdom accumulated in 5,000 years, but when everyone has science and technology, the vicissitudes accumulated in 5,000 years are enough to make a civilization go further and more stable.

"I used to believe in an ancient saying, which says that those who are not of my race must have different hearts." Chris looked at Andrea and uttered a sentence that made Andrea very uncomfortable.

Andrea felt that she had never heard such a heart-wrenching ancient admonition, and she even frowned, briefly thinking in her mind whether it was Chris's constant rejection and distrust of the elves.

Frankly, this feeling was very depressing for her. Although she hadn't yet reached the level of consciousness that identified herself as an Alleyranhill, she didn't want Chris to doubt her pledge of allegiance to Orchidhill.

She hadn't thought of betraying since she took the oath, and even in her plan, after taking it back to the Temple of the Moon, the elves would rise again, she didn't think about killing Chris.

But now, Chris said such a sentence, which made her have to rethink the status of the elves in the Irlanhill Empire.

Chris expected Andrea to be uncomfortable, and he continued to say to himself: "However, the rise of Ellan Hill is not a one-step climb. It is a fact that we have absorbed the existence of many 'non-self' species. ”

He stood up and looked at Andrea with interest, his gaze brushing over Andrea's well-proportioned and graceful body, as if caressing a work of art: "When it first rose, the slogan of the Orchid Hill Empire was 'Mortals will never be slaves'. ”

"However, after we received Veronsa from the Holy Demon Empire, we are receiving mages little by little. Those magicians who once stood high above and called themselves gods have ended up as law-abiding ordinary citizens of the Irlanhill Empire! Chris said as he pulled his hand around a strand of long silver hair around Andrea's ear.

This movement was a bit intimate, and Andrea's body tensed involuntarily. But she also let go of her hostility, because she seemed to guess what Chris was going to say next.

"We later changed our slogan and forgot about the hatred of the past. We have given up our history of suffering and forgiven the magicians who exploited us. Chris said, letting go of the silky hair in his hand.

Andrea, who was a little shy, raised her head and retorted as if she was looking for a scene: "Don't forget, you are also a magician now, and a very powerful magician!" ”

Although she is an old witch in politics, she is as simple as a blank slate in terms of feelings. So in the face of Chris's teasing, she has no experience at all.

Panic is bound to panic, so she can't wait to dismantle the stage and can't wait to find a place for herself.

"That's right, now Ellan Hill is no longer hostile to mages, because we have regained our dignity, because we have defeated mages and destroyed one of the most powerful magical empires...... So we don't have any psychological disadvantages anymore. Chris said confidently.
