After holding out in the middle of the gap for more than half a year, we finally defeated the forces of the Holy See and forced the Griffon and Leon Empires to withdraw their troops and purge all enemies in Subic.

When Fang Zi's electromagnetic cannon broke through the barrier of the fortress and the troops supporting my eldest brother, Salondran, surrendered, my sister and I, who are now my wife, finally met him in that bedroom.

"You're here? Nice, nice......"

He was alone, sitting in a chair, dressed in a king's attire, and talked a lot with us.

He confessed that it was he who forced his father to abdicate. But to the great shock of the two of us, all this, including his own death, was precisely planned by the old king.

At that time, Subic's political scene was made into a miasma by the powerful aristocracy, and the royal power was sidelined. For the sake of the continuation of the country and the family, he did not hesitate to lure his son and the nobles step by step to compete for real power, and even lured him to launch a coup d'état!

Originally, Salondron only wanted his father to abdicate and let him restore the royal authority. However, he himself did not expect that his father would commit suicide in front of him, cutting off his back road by the most extreme means.

In desperation, he could only turn his face with a large number of old-school nobles and start a war. If it weren't for our intervention, it is estimated that the power dispute in Subic would have ended now, and Salondron would have been in power, and after pacifying the rest of the country, he would at least be able to maintain his independence in this chaos.

My eldest brother has no hope of victory, and what he is saying now is indeed from the bottom of his lungs. He told me that he hoped that I would treat my sister well, after all, she was the last hope for the continuation of the royal family, regardless of their brother-sister relationship.

He ended his life by hanging himself with a magic rope and left this world wearing the costume of King Subic.

After that, Avellia guarded his body for a whole day, and finally joined me in sending the last king of the old Subic kingdom to the tombs of the kings.

At the funeral, the words we left on his tombstone were:

"He was the last monarch of the Old Kingdom, although he did nothing wrong. He was not defeated by the enemy, but by the future that could not be changed. ”

With this, the kingdom's form of division came to an end, and after recovering most of the lost territory in the south, we finally fulfilled the last wish of Salondron and the old king, and gave the crown control of the entire country.

Although everyone can see that the real ruler is not the queen sitting on the throne, but the alliance of three secessionist powers.

The base camp has been upgraded by 1 level again under our management, which has raised the level of facilities in the entire Tribe City to a notch.

Zeng Qiang's excavation miners led a group of construction workers to spend several months digging a tunnel through most of the country under the kingdom, and spent half a year laying the rails in the tunnel, for which we spent millions of gold coins, and in the end, even the system had to increase the cost of rail construction, because even the price of steel in the tribal world had increased because of this.

The cost of underground lighting and minecarts alone is as high as 900,000 gold coins, and if we don't finish it, I'm afraid we'll have to go bankrupt.

However, the benefits are obvious, I can use large minecarts to transport troops underground, which is safer and faster, and I can transport troops from the Free Cities Alliance to the northern border of the kingdom in a week.

And because of the depth and the reinforcement of the digging miners, it is difficult for even a war saint of the level of the Barbarian King to discover and destroy this tunnel.

Our hosts are no better than Wang Shengzhe, as long as we get the El Empire, we can expand smoothly. Subic now borders three empires, none of which are friendly.

After several small states in the south were annexed by the Holy See, there was no room for further expansion. Unless we attack the kingdom of Balot, which was stronger than Subic before we went east, it will be a tough battle, and there is Leon's shadow behind the opponent.

Fortunately, there are many strong people at the level of our Battle Saint, and the town is lived. After the failure of the Northern Expedition of the Holy See, Subic became a buffer zone for the three empires, and temporarily gained security.

It's also good that I can take it easier and concentrate on conquering the arena, and by the way, concentrate on how to deal with "sin". I can now confirm that I am entangled in the sin of gluttony, but I don't think I am so gluttonous.

For the next six months, nothing major happened to Subic. I'll take care of Avelia and the magnates of the kingdom who have taken refuge in us, and I'll just need to make some important decisions myself.

The people of the tribal world have come in handy for the rule of the various places, and our men have a large share among the civilian and military officers. But even so, because of the lack of understanding of the local area and the distrust of the residents, we have to manage it together with the locals, which reduces the efficiency of the work to a certain extent.

So now it seems that most of Subic's area is still at the level of the post-medieval level, much worse than Wang Shengzhe's side. It is said that many parts of the Tada Kingdom have now begun to industrialize and completely enter the age of steam. This increase in productivity, coupled with the popularity of gunpowder weapons in Wang Shengzhe's native army, slightly narrowed the gap between ordinary people and the strong, and further strengthened his military strength.

Of course, there is no doubt that the truly strong still have the power to suppress.

But I always had a sense that something was coming.

A few days ago, we received a message from Zeng Qiang and the elven settlement in the forest. Hordes of demonic beasts began to migrate, and the underground goblin clans we call goblins fled their homeland.

The refugees were not only a nuisance in themselves, but also brought with them the news that an even bigger haze was coming. It is said that a special creature with high intelligence is expanding its territory in the depths of the Great Forest and has built some strange structures that they have never seen before. Their strength is very strong, and there are quite a few of them, and several ninth-order demonic beasts in the central forest united with the local goblin clan to attack them, but they were almost wiped out, so they could only abandon their territory and escape.

Zeng Qiang attaches great importance to this matter, and I also sent someone to assist him, and Fang Zi also provided a lot of weapons, but there is no specific news yet.

Several of us hosts have also talked about this topic among themselves, but Wang Shengzhe doesn't care, according to him, his most important job now is to purge all those who dare to resist him in the three Western countries, and Li Guangyu and Li Renjie can't pull out their hands.

Zhao Tiantian told us that this might be a disaster, and he really wanted to see it for himself, but now the tribal cities of both him and Dong Tuhao are closely watched by the Holy See's army, and they are not able to help us.

As for the four empires, I believe they also know about it, but they won't do it in the short term.

Hopefully, this uneasiness is just a function of our hearts.
