Chapter 16: Edmund. Clemons (above)

I'm Edmund. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

The head of the country.

Some people say that I am a pioneer of the new era.

But I don't think so.

I was only an heir, and the real pioneer was my father, Carthus. Clemmons.

He's a pretty great guy.

I was amazed by his foresight, and long ago he ordered the creation of a federal database that stored all previous Earth technologies. So, when the disaster struck, when everyone else was trying to restore the tech tree, we have recovered it all, and we have begun a full-scale restoration operation. As a result, we were much more developed than other countries at that time. After some time, the political systems of other countries were just being established, and we already had our own armies. Under threats and inducements, we have acquired a lot of precious resources and used them to restore our scientific research system.

Many people are puzzled by this. In the immediate aftermath of the disaster, the people have not yet returned to normal life, but the government has spent these resources on far-reaching scientific research projects. This has caused a lot of discontent among the people, and people have even rallied and marched to demand that the government improve people's livelihood.

As a result of this, Carthusian imposed a three-year period of repressive control over the entire federation.

As a result, the gears of technology spun rapidly in the Axis Federation.

"Father, this is unpopular with the people." Young Edmund persuaded.

"This is a sacrifice that must be made for a better future for the Commonwealth." Carthusian said, "It is up to you to win back the hearts and minds of the people that have been lost." ”

"No, I can't be the FΓΌhrer's ......"

"You have to do it!" Carthus sternly said, "It's your responsibility." ”

The next words will be unforgettable for Edmond for the rest of his life.

"You have to remember that the 'Axis' is not a federal ......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's the Empire! ”

A few years later, Carthus. Clemmons died, and Edmund became the head of the Commonwealth with his good image and reputation. Under his organization, the rapid progress of technology soon benefited the people. At the same time, Edmund takes over his father's unfinished business - to unify the entire planet.

With my father's inheritance, the work went very smoothly. In a short period of time, the Federation has unified most of the planet, either militarily or diplomatically. Edmund managed the Occupation in his own way, and in his construction, an interstellar empire was taking shape.

Soon, the last of the enemy was also routed under strong Union fire. The Axis Federation has completed its hegemony, and the people are tired and finally ushered in global peace.

At least that's what those residents think.

But in Clemmons's eyes, peace was far from coming.

With a keen intuition, he had an insight into the movements of the Divine Omenyu Party. He immediately launched an operation and destroyed the main stronghold of the Omen.

In the years that followed, the Federation did not let its guard down on the Omens.

The threat from the Omen grew smaller by the day, but Edmund's doubts remained unresolved. He didn't understand what the spirit did for the human body.

Edmund was amazed by the Omen's use of spirits, and the Omen's army lacked a trace of technology. But it held out for nearly two years under the offensive of the Federation. The power to destroy an entire outpost on his own was incomprehensible to Edmund.

"Can a person really do that?" Edmund pondered, could a chariot with powerful alloy armor be no match for a thin mage?

He knew very little about the elements and magic, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make the slightest progress in this field.

This disturbed him.

"Why, why exactly?" Edmund thumped hard at the elemental barrier in front of him, "Answer me, Arcaria! ”

"I don't know what you're talking about." The woman known as Akaria said calmly.

"How long will that broken cage of elements protect you? There is no hope for your country, there is no sign in the world! Why can't you contribute what you know to humanity?! ”

God will not allow such behavior, and I am protecting not only myself, but you as well. To spy on what does not belong to you will bring about your own destruction. Arkalia said.

"I can't communicate with you!" Edmund said angrily.

"Please go back, it's not good for your body to be exposed to too abundant elements." Arkalia turned away, "I don't want to hurt anyone. ”

"Warning, the amount of elements in the space exceeds the warning value, please leave the quarantine facility immediately." The AI's kind prompt sounded.

"Humph!" Clemmons turned to leave.

"My son is going to tear you to shreds, scum." Arkalia said slowly.

"You ......," Clemmons clenched his fists, "...... You wait, slut. I'll reunite you mother and son. ”

He left the quarantine facility.

During the war five years ago, Edmund captured his captive, the Omen Queen Arcaria, Ling Han. Haoduo's mother.

For five years, Clemmons had been trying to get secrets about magic and the elements from Akaria, but every conversation annoyed him.

After being captured, Arkalia used a strange secret method to build an impregnable elemental barrier around her. The barrier is constantly circulating its own energy, immortal. To Edmund's annoyance, every once in a while, the barrier channeled a flood of elemental energy from the void, reinforcing itself while the caster survived. And he didn't understand what was going on at all.

He does not allow such ignorance, and those who know the mystery are right in front of him, but he has nothing to do. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"How's the development of the mecha?" Edmund asked.

"The first phase of testing is underway, and the research has shown that the soldier's brain waves are not yet fully compatible with the mecha's psychic system, and our scientists are trying to solve this problem." The secretary who followed alongside reported.

"Prepare the car, I'm going to the research institute, I've thought of a good solution." Edmund said.

"In what capacity? Sir. ”

Edmund straightened his collar and thought for a moment.

"Chief Scientist of the Commonwealth."
