After crossing several cities in a row, the hot air balloon team finally docked in a valley open field in the south, and then the alchemists had to make some plans for their future, they could not go back to the north, which was the private land of the city-state of Van Sai, and the owners of almost most of the city-states could only rely on the city of Van to survive.

"Teacher, where are we going?" Marina dragged the blue-haired Gina after Arcade, and Gina kept looking at the hot air balloon, still not understanding why this thing could fly.

After thinking about it for a moment, Akkadian looked at everyone, who had left with Akad as an unconditional trust in him.

"I'm afraid it's not going to be peaceful here for a long time, King Tutan's ambitions have been exposed, and we have to go to the cities further south!"

"Let's go to Tephas!"

Akkadian led his students and the higher-ups of the Akkadian Alchemy Workshop to the south of the Tutan Empire, where he was accepted into the city-states of Tephas, one of the southern trading cities.

It was also a city close to the sea, the first city where Akkadian arrived in the Tutan dynasty and the hometown of Marina, where he re-established his alchemy workshop and academy.

This made Marina, who had not been back for a long time, even more happy, and the alchemists had once again made their home in this coastal city.

In the north of the Tutan Dynasty, the city-state of Van Se and the current Tutammar Bus gradually weakened the power and control of the various city-states in the north through a series of governance methods and decrees, and integrated the entire northern part of the Tutan Dynasty little by little through force and other means.

A large number of workshops were heavily taxed, all the students who graduated from the alchemy academy had to be registered, and a large number of alchemy academy graduates who had mastered the knowledge of alchemy, and even alchemists who had awakened their spiritual powers, were also arrested and worked for the Tutan king, and a large amount of wealth was gathered, and over the years, the rise of alchemy brought great changes to the Tutan dynasty in a few years.

Nowadays, no matter where it is, it is inseparable from the influence of alchemists, even if King Tutan wants to control the north and wants to start a war, he must rely on the help of these alchemy academy graduates and alchemists who have mastered the knowledge of alchemy.

Workshops produced weapons and armor for King Tutan, armed him with a large number of soldiers, and a large number of workshops provided him with wealth, allowing him to wage war and unify the north.

And many city-states in the south felt a deep fear of Tutan's series of actions and decrees, especially many city lords in the north were either killed or placed under house arrest, which made the southern city-states like frightened birds, for fear that they would become the next unlucky eggs to be sent to the gallows.

The southern city-states held a meeting in the city of Lamo on the banks of the Tianma River on the north-south border, after which the thirty-two southern city-states declared their independence from the Tutan dynasty and named them after a tree native to the south, the Cien City-State Union.

The birth of the Sheen City-State Alliance completely announced the rupture between the south and the north of the Tutan Dynasty, and the Tutan King Marbas, in his rage, announced the launch of a crusade against the Sheen City-State Alliance in the south.

In the name of crusade against rebellion and freedom on the other side, an internal war was started, and the war quickly spread to the area of the Tianma River, where the two sides launched a tug-of-war.

At the beginning of the war, Balbus, the king of Tutan, had the absolute upper hand, and once broke into the heart of the city-state alliance, surrounding the hundreds of thousands of troops of the city-state alliance in a city called Finnlit, besieging it for several months, almost forcing the city-state alliance into a desperate situation.

Defeated by reinforcements from Tephes and the coastal city-states, the war dragged on for three years, with both sides exhausted and suffering losses that were unacceptable to either side.

The defeat of the external war and the fact that it lasted too long again led to internal instability in the north, with frequent rebellions, and many cities and nobles dissatisfied with King Tutan's actions brought great trouble to King Tutan.

In the end, Marbus, the king of Tutan, was only able to sign a peace agreement with the city of Lamo, which had opened an independent parliament, and the city-state of Sheen.

And the king of Tutan, Marbus, also regarded the defeat of this war as a great shame, and even regarded the independence of the city-state alliance of Sheen as a mortal enemy to divide his country, and never forgot it.

A few years after the peace agreement was signed, King Tutan's Marbus solved his internal problems, gathered his strength, and made a comeback to wage a second war against the city-state alliance of Hien.

At this time, the Tutan region, the Batko region in the northwest, in these years, in countless wars, gradually unified, a country called the Psut Kingdom, in the wars, continued to unify the entire Batko region.

The Sky Temple has also been established in every city of Batco with the victory of the Psut Kingdom in wars, and the belief of the Sky Temple has gradually replaced the original chaotic and complex religious beliefs of Batko, and has become the orthodoxy of the Batco region.

A large number of Sky Temple sacrifices walked on the land of Batko, holding the Book of the Living, preaching the mysteries of the Sky Church, and the underworld, with the continuous expansion of the Sky Temple, was gradually enriched.

A large number of death messengers poured out of the underworld at any time, luring those souls who did not want to disperse into the underworld, and the underworld gradually truly possessed a trace of the underworld.

The city of Barbour, Kingdom of Psut –

The city of Barber was originally the capital of the Batco Empire, which was established by the first monarch of the Batco Empire, Yep Ima Batko, but many years ago, under the invasion of the Vanser city-state of the Tutan Dynasty, the entire city of Barber was looted, and the last of the Batko monarchs was killed, and the entire Batco Empire was destroyed.

And now, Setisis has settled here, and Setisis wears such a god-black robe, and his face has entered a middle-aged state compared to that of many years of young adults.

In the palace, many people were dealing with government affairs, and after Setisis established the kingdom of Psuth, he gradually unified the entire Batko region and became the real master of this land.

As a piece of information arrived at Setisis from afar, Setisis looked at it for a long time, got into consideration, and finally stood up, gathered all his generals, and started a meeting.

When the second war was waged by the alliance of the city-states of Malbus, King of Tutan, the invasion from the Kingdom of Psut immediately shocked the Tutan dynasty.

The 200,000 cavalry in the Psut region invaded the Tutan dynasty from the northwest and quickly descended from the border, and the empty north was quickly occupied by the Tutan dynasty, and the large army surrounded the city of Tut, and a few days later the city of Tut was surrendered.

The barren kingdom of Psuth gained a large amount of fertile land and a lot of wealth, and the mighty city-state of Van Se was reduced to history, and the kingdom of Psuth, which originated from Batko, ended it, like a reincarnation.

And at this moment, the Tutan king Marbus, who led the army outside, completely became the king of the lost kingdom, on the bank of the Tianma River, his head was cut off by his soldiers, the original crusading army, the northern soldiers who lost their home, surrendered to the southern Sheen city-state alliance.

And the True God Sect, which was originally popular in the north, quickly suffered a major blow, the sacrifice of the Sky Temple, the large-scale search and expulsion of the faith and apostles of the True God Sect, and the apostles of the True God Sect, after death, even their souls could not escape, and they were sent to the underworld for judgment as heretics.

And Heckfors could only take the remaining apostles and enter the alliance of the city-states of Sheen in the south, looking for his opportunity again.

---------------

"When will this battle be fought?"

"Yes, the men have gone out to fight, and now when they go out, there are either women or old people and children left in the city."

"It's almost time to stop!"

"Who knows, that Pusut kingdom has already occupied the north, who knows if there will be another war against the south, these war maniacs!"

"Did you hear that? When King Tutan died, he turned into a terrible monster! ”

"That's right, that's right, I also heard that he was cut off and didn't die, but he was burned alive in the end, and the whole army saw that scene."

"Bah, this damn guy, must be possessed by a demon, otherwise he wouldn't be constantly fighting."

Marina looked at the women who were weaving with a loom chatting, the form of the workshop has prevailed in the entire southern Sheen city-state alliance, these peasant women, in their spare time, will also enter the workshop to work, earn some money to subsidize the family, in the city of Tefes, such small workshops, everywhere.

The burgeoning workshops were in great demand for labor, and during the war, prices skyrocketed, and through the city of Tephas, the city was full of war complaints, and a large number of men died in battle, many of whom had not returned home for several years, and did not know whether they were dead or alive outside.

Marina's mood also became heavy, and she walked through several streets to a castle in the city of Tephas, which was full of human figures, this was the newly established Akkad Alchemical Academy.

In the dean's room at the top, Arcade's hair was now completely white compared to before, and his originally straight spine was slightly rickety, which made Marina's mood heavy.

"Teacher, the war is over!" Marina walked in and spoke.

"How?" Arcade asked, pushing his glasses and looking up.

Marina immediately recounted the news she had received: "The king of the Psuth dynasty, Setisis, has signed an agreement with us to divide the border, I have heard others say that Setisis is a king who abides by the agreement and is very personable. ”

Akkad nodded: "It's just a temporary peace, if you want to get a real peace, you have to work hard, I'm old." ”

Marina immediately coquettishly said: "Teacher, you are still in good spirits, you will definitely live a long life." ”

Arcade burst out laughing, "You're cursing me!" ”

Marina realized that she had said the wrong thing and stuck out her tongue.
