Chapter 833: Gru's Travels
Chapter 833: Gru's Travels
The large-scale military operations of the Enlos Empire caused the flames of war to burn all over the northwest of the Elasia continent in the winter of that year.
Erry, Dia, Tytalia, the armies of the Enroth Empire are everywhere.
But just as Morriel had said to Jian Chen, the Enros Army had encountered far more resistance than they had imagined.
In the Tytalia swamp, although the Enlos army and the Bracada army have many advantages, but the Bracada army is not weak, under the command of the magicians' general Star Trosa, the Bracada army has put up a stubborn resistance to the invading Enlos army and the Bracada army, and Magnus has also sent reinforcements to Trosa in time, who will eventually become the new master of this swamp, it is too early to make a conclusion.
Moreover, the enemies of the Enlos army and the Erathia army in the swamp were not only the Bracada army, and the Entagre army entrenched in the southwestern region of the swamp was not immune to this war, Chen Jian sent Bruce back to the swamp and asked him to lead a Jīng Rui Entagri army to fight a guerrilla war in the swamp, and the main target of the attack was the Enlos army and the Erathia army.
A chaotic luàn in the swamp.
The Enlos army that attacked Eremilin again also had a very bad time, although they suffered heavy losses in the battle between Krurod and the Bracada army, but the jīng spirits, who had no way to retreat, did not sit idly by, under the command of Gru, almost all the Jīng spirits were soldiers, they turned the southern border area of Eremilin into a huge battlefield, set up a strong defensive line, and took advantage of the local complex environment to fight guerrilla warfare, The Enroth army, which was divided into several ways to attack the dense forest, was pinned down, and every time the Enroth army advanced, it had to pay a huge price.
Not only that, but Gru also transferred manpower from Chōu in China to form a small army of Jīng Rui, this small army of Jīng Rui with the Blade of Doom, roamed around the southern region of the Erimirin Forest, and they used the Blade of Doom to sneak attack all the targets they thought were valuable, and even entered Diya from time to time to attack some important strongholds set up by the Enlos army in the local area, which made the Enlos army anxious.
However, all this is a very distant thing for the ordinary residents of the Entagri Empire, in this winter, the Entagrei people did not worry about the severe cold, and the ample job opportunities made every Entagri family prepare for the winter early before the arrival of this winter, and there are not too many people who are worried about whether the war will burn to their homes, they have confidence in His Majesty the Emperor, and they have confidence in the Entagrui army, so in this winter, the Entagrei people are happy.
In fact, for most of the Ntagreans, this winter was not only a happy winter, but also a busy one, with the exception of those areas where the climate did not allow for much outdoor activity, and there was a lot of work to be done in the thriving kingdom of Ntagre.
The Tulaone Forest, which is as warm as chūn all year round, is not affected by the climate, and this winter is one of the liveliest areas of the Entagri Empire.
The current inhabitants of the forests of Tula Leone are mainly those forest races that have broken away from the original jīng spirit kingdom, such as centaurs, forest dwarves and forest people, etc., there are also some jīng spirit tribes, without the oppression of the jīng spirit kingdom, and now these races are trying to rebuild their forest homes, and the forest is full of construction and job opportunities.
As a result of these jobs, a large number of non-forest races have flocked to the forests of Turalone under the official arrangement of the Empire, which has become even more lively—never before in the recorded history of the continent of Erathia have so many races gathered in this forest.
What's even more amazing is that although this forest is now so lively, with many races, mixed dragons and snakes, there has never been any luànzi, the bandits who should have been very rampant in the original luàn world have disappeared in the forest, and there is a peaceful scene everywhere, and people who don't know can't imagine that this forest has experienced the baptism of war not long ago.
This is all thanks to the creation of a new ministry from this summer, the Entagre Imperial Public Security Agency.
Although the name of the newly created Ministry, now known simply as the Public Security Bureau, seems a bit strange and awkward to most of the Ntagari people, everyone has felt the tangible benefits of this newly created Ministry.
This is because the duty of this public security bureau is to crack down on all kinds of crimes, including bandits, in various places and to ensure the safety of the whole party.
Needless to say, this public security bureau is naturally also the handiwork of Chen Jian, a traverser.
Previously, before the establishment of the Public Security Bureau, the Entagri Empire had been sending troops to vigorously eradicate bandits in various places, but Chen Jian has been committed to the separation of military and political affairs in the Entagri Empire's political system, and the public security in various places has gradually calmed down, and continuing to use the army to maintain law and order in various places is not only a bit of a fuss, but also costs the people and money, which is not conducive to management, so Chen Jian started to set up a Ministry of Maintaining Local Public Security.
Thus was established the Entagri Imperial Public Security Agency.
It has to be said that although the Public Security Bureau of the Entagri Empire cannot be compared with the regular army in terms of force, it is enough for those bandit gangs that occupy various places to make them frightened, because the public security bureau set up by Chen Jian, in addition to ordering the selection of suitable candidates from the militia in various places to join, he also recruited those dragons from some strong fighting races, such as the dragon clan, to join the ministry through the council.
Although these disabled strong war races are not able to catch the enemy on the battlefield, but the bandits sent to deal with those rabble are more than enough, and with the shock of these strong war races, the lawbreakers in various places are also afraid, and although Chen Jian implements benevolent government, he is a carrot in one hand and a **āng in the other, and pursues the doctrine of heavy punishment for all kinds of crimes, and the law and order situation in various places has of course improved greatly.
In Jian Chen's words, this kind of practice means that I have given you a good enough environment, if you still want to do jiān crimes, then don't blame me for being ruthless.
At the same time, the public security bureau must also shoulder the task of using force to resolve all kinds of ethnic disputes when necessary, and with the backing of the public security bureau, officials in various localities will be more confident in handling ethnic conflicts, after all, the public security bureaus have been set up in various places, but the regular army cannot be on call.
In addition, referring to his own knowledge on the earth, Chen Jian is also constantly improving the various functional departments in the political system of the Entagri Empire, according to his own cognition, little by little those things that he thinks are available are applied to the political system of the Entagri Empire, he grasps the big and lets go of the small, on the one hand, the power and the army are firmly in his own hands, emphasizing the supremacy of imperial power, on the other hand, he is constantly decentralizing power, and gradually implementing the separation of powers.
Strictly speaking, the political system of the Entagri Empire is no longer a simple centralized system, and Chen Jian's idea is to create a new system in which the imperial power is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has the ultimate power to adjudicate everything, but it does not need to intervene too much in various affairs, and can achieve self-operation and self-improvement through the operation of the lower levels.
This kind of system not only ensures the imperial power, but also implements the legal system, has a certain degree of democracy, and at the same time ensures the supremacy of the imperial power, it also allows the lower classes to have a certain right to speak, and can participate in many affairs on a limited basis and make their own voices.
This is a very bold idea, and it is also an idea without any precedent, even a little naïve, a little arrogant, a little too idealistic, but Chen Jian is willing to try, he knows very well that although the centralized system has such and such advantages at present, its disadvantages are also obvious, and it is not a long-term solution, and he does not want the empire he has created with great difficulty to exist in the history of this world is just a flash in the pan.
But now that all this is still in its infancy, Jian Chen knows very well that speed is not enough, and he doesn't want to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.
But even so, all the changes that took place in the Entagri Empire, which took Jian Chen for granted, fell into the eyes of some people, but they were already very shocking things.
Like Morryl, like Tanan, like Catherine.
They didn't know the identity of Jian Chen's traverser, but they were shocked that Jian Chen was able to produce so many things with his own strength that they hadn't even thought about, and in their eyes, Jian Chen was a genius among geniuses.
Of course, among these people, there is also a half-jīng linglu.
However, unlike Morriel and others, Gru has always believed that there is no possibility of realizing these things that Jian Chen has tinkered with, at least until this winter, he has always believed that in his eyes, this dark world cannot be changed artificially, this world is no longer savable, and there is no meaning to exist.
But now, Gru's perspective has finally changed.
Because he was now walking in the forests of Tula, he had seen first-hand the drastic changes that had taken place in the forests that had not long ago been under the oppressive rule of the jīng spirits.
The war in the Erimirin was in full swing, and Gru, the current regent of the Jīng Spirit Kingdom and the actual ruler of the Jīng Spirit Kingdom at present, put aside the matter at hand, and after making some arrangements, he threw the heavy responsibility of resisting the invasion of the Enroth Empire to his own henchmen, and then quietly ran to the Turalian forest.
He had planned to take a look around the Entagri Empire.
However, Banjīngling's move did not have some ulterior motives for the Ntagri Empire, it was purely just a desire to take a look at the Ntagri Empire.
After the first battle of Krurod, Gru was completely disheartened, and all along, what supported him all the way was a deep hatred for Parson and Kendall who caused his miserable life, and a heart of revenge for the world that had done him a cruel injury.
But now, Kendall is dead, killed by a human spy under his control, and Parson has been imprisoned by him, dead or alive, just a word of his life.
His goal in life was only to destroy the world he hated.
But this goal, with the sword of ice being taken away by Tanan gorgeously in front of his eyes, there is not much possibility of achieving it now.
Gru was so angry that he lost his mind, but when his anger finally dissipated, and after reason returned to him, the half-jīng spirit that had been attached to him was gone.
He didn't know where he was going now.
If he were just a human, or just a pure-blooded Jīng Spirit, he might try to make another effort, abandon the Jīng Spirit Kingdom, infiltrate the Ntagri Empire with the Doomsday Blade, and sneak into the upper echelons step by step after changing his appearance, trying to find the whereabouts of the Ice Sword.
But he is a half-jīng spirit.
A semi-jīng spirit that mixes human and jīng spirit blood, and stands out everywhere you go, and is extremely rare.
Hiding his identity and infiltrating the upper echelons of the Entagri Empire was simply an impossible task for him.
He also thought about simply taking the Jīng Spirit Kingdom to surrender to the Entagri Empire in exchange for his identity, but he also knew that if he did this, then the Doomsday Blade would definitely not be able to be saved, and it was impossible for the Entagri Empire not to ask him for this infinitely powerful artifact.
He can't think of it anymore, unless he can use the power of the jīng spirit kingdom to sweep away many opponents and dominate the world, but that is obviously a plan that there is not much chance to achieve, the current jīng spirit kingdom does not have that strength, no such time, and no such external environment.
The helpless half-jīng spirit then unexpectedly found that his heart had suddenly become much calmer, and the resentment and hatred that he had accumulated in his heart due to his years of strict self-discipline, living in front of others with a mask, and never revealing his true emotions to the outside world, were unexpectedly vented to a certain extent in the unscrupulous battle that Krurod had launched under his rage.
Then he suddenly had the idea of going to the Entagri Empire and put it into action - making such a decision was not difficult for the current half-jīng spirit, he had no love for the jīng spirit kingdom anymore, and he no longer valued the blade of doom so much, he now just wanted to act according to his heart.
After spending some time arranging the affairs of the country, and letting a henchman pretend to be himself who rarely appeared in front of people, he quietly left Eli and began his journey to the Entagri Empire, and his first stop was naturally the Tulaone Forest bordering the Yeremi Forest.
Along the way, Gru couldn't believe what he saw, but it was so real that he couldn't believe it.
Everywhere he passed, there were always big smiles on people's faces, and he could see the anticipation of the future in the eyes of these people.
Every inn he stayed at was always filled with the praise of His Majesty the Emperor and the army of the Ntagre, and he could see that these people sincerely supported the "Our Emperor Majesty" in their mouths, and they also genuinely liked the "our army" in their mouths.
Gru has the confidence to influence the people around him to identify with him, and make them sacrifice their lives to fight for some kind of ideal that is actually very unrealistic in his own opinion, but all he can do is limited to this, whether it is the original Farouk Army or the current Jīng Spirit Kingdom, he has no way to further make more people identify with him, at least in the short term, he can't do it.
But what he thought he couldn't do, Jian Chen had obviously done.
After entering the Tulaone Forest, Gru traveled all the way, and did not encounter a single thief who robbed the road, and this was not a long time ago, this was simply impossible, and the Tulaone Forest under the rule of the Jīng Spirit Kingdom, although not as rampant as many sinful places on the mainland, was not a place where people could travel alone.
He didn't even see the clashes that took place because of the race, and he noticed that some of the races still didn't get along well with the other races in the forest, such as the big-eared monsters from Diya, but they didn't get along, and the violent conflict he imagined didn't happen at all.
It wasn't until halfway through the forest that Gru became clear to him in a town why this was happening, because the Ntagri Empire not only advocated racial equality in the hearts of the people, but also enacted a number of fairly well-established regulations on such matters, which were enforced by relevant ministries, such as the Public Security Bureau.
Gru saw the statutes on a large bulletin board in the town, and for the first time saw the legendary police warrior.
From this bulletin board, Gru also learned many new terms that he had never heard before, such as "legal system".
Half jīng Ling was shocked again, and he suddenly regretted that he had been concentrating too much jīng power on the military side of the Entagri Empire, but ignoring too many things in other aspects of the empire.
After leaving the town in the southern part of the Tulaone Forest, Gru continued his refreshing journey, managing to hide his jīng spirit and disguise himself as a human traveler, a disguise that could not hide from the eyes of anyone who cared about it, but it was enough to allow him to walk among the people of the Ntagri Empire.
He made his way through Hammondale, into Overall, then to Bairders, and through a port city that had begun to take shape, aboard a merchant ship on the way, to Negan across the Channel.
He continued to move in the direction of MiG City, because he knew that the new MiG Fort where Jian Chen lived was near MiG City, and his speed was not slow because of the good road conditions and security conditions in various places, and then on this day, he finally came to MiG City.
Gru couldn't tell why he was here, but here, he unexpectedly met an acquaintance, as well as some other half-jīng spirits.
