Chapter 053: Development (Asking for Recommendations, Asking for Monthly Tickets)
Reis Empire, Holy See of Light.
Blake angrily asked, "Teacher, why didn't you kill that giant just now, he killed Mentor Rosas?!" ”
"Rosas was killed in battle, and his death was glorious though he was defeated. I can't make a move yet, once I do it on my side, that guy from the Xiling Empire will definitely kill the Lacey Empire directly.
Although I am confident that I can finally eradicate this heresy, before that, most of the royal family and the top of the Holy See of the Lacey Empire will inevitably be killed or wounded. Even you may not survive.
Moreover, those guys on the orc plain have been active a lot lately, and it is estimated that many of them have become unbearable, and I must let the Holy See watch them.
Now is not the time. Blake, you can cultivate in the Holy See, I hope this position can be inherited by you in the future, don't let me down. ”
After Antonio finished speaking, he left directly and came to a castle next to the Imperial City of the Lacey Empire.
"Antonio, you know I don't like you to be close, why are you still trying to provoke me?"
The one who can call Antonio by his name is naturally another ninth-order powerhouse of the Reis Empire.
Claire Barre, the god of darkness.
The Reis Empire has always been a place where the glory of the God of Light shines, and it is obviously strange that such a dark god appears.
In fact, the Barre family is the royal family of the Lacey Empire, and this Claire Barrefa god is also a member of the royal family.
He is the elder brother of the current Emperor of the Lacey Empire, who was ostracized because of his penchant for dark magic, and then disappeared.
It wasn't until he returned to the empire as a dark god six years ago that it was known that he had originally crossed the Orc Plains and joined the Dark Holy See on the northern continent, and now he returned to the Lacey Empire as the archbishop of the Dark Holy See.
This threatened the dominance of the Holy See of Light, and at the same time exacerbated domestic contradictions.
Therefore, in order to divert the contradictions in the country, the emperor of the Lacey Empire, Hamus Barre, planned this war.
The more land you occupy, the more people you have, the more benefits you can give to the two Holy Sees.
The "Altar of the Black Elf" was supposed to be given to Claire, but it was given to Walter by Blake, claiming that he could return it afterwards, and it has now been taken away.
Claire knew very well that Blake had relied on Antonio to dare to do this.
Moreover, it is very likely that Antonio did not want him to master the altar of the black elf and gain more power, so he instructed Blake to do so.
Therefore, he was even more unkind to Antonio.
"Hehe, Claire, we are also working hard for the strength of the Reis Empire, we should be friends." Antonio didn't pay any attention to Claire's tone and walked straight into the castle.
He didn't go far before Claire, dressed in a black robe with gold silk, appeared in front of him and frowned, "If there's anything to say, let's talk about it here." ”
Antonio looked at Claire with a smile and said directly: "The one from the Xiling Empire, you should go and watch it, there has been a little change on Carter's side, so the war may continue for a while."
Both the Ottoman Empire and the Orc Plains need me to keep an eye on them, so I'm afraid I won't be able to strike at the first opportunity.
By the way, the Black Elf's altar is in the giant's hands right now, and you can take it yourself when the time comes. ”
Claire looked at Antonio's departing back and was silent for a long time.
He didn't know what the situation of the giant was, but Antonio mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, but it made him feel that it might not be that simple.
Although the Holy See of Light has not positively stated that it wants to deal with the Holy See of Darkness, it is indispensable to suppress it secretly.
The competitive relationship between the two sides has caused them to calculate each other all the time, so Claire can't help but think about it too much.
Retrieving the Black Elf's altar still needs to be considered in the long run.
……
When Nora arrives in Boraz with her army, she meets Caterina and declares her King of Carter.
After learning that Caterina had led an army to drive the Lacey Empire's army out of Carter, Nora immediately led an army from Carter's territory to attack the Aegean Empire.
Because Carter was occupied by its allies, the Lacey Empire, the Aegean Empire did not set up defenses on the border with Carter.
Therefore, Nora marched this time, directly attacked several cities, trained the other side of the Aegean Empire, and occupied one-twentieth of the territory of the Aegean Empire.
Such a situation has forced the Aegean Empire to be anxious.
Now, the Aegean Empire is at war with two empires and two kingdoms at the same time, and the borders are almost all in flames, which makes the whole country almost crushed by the war.
So, ten days after Caterina became king, the Aegean Empire withdrew its troops from attacking the Hiling Empire.
On the side of the Xiling Empire, it focused on defense and shifted the main army force to fight against the troops of the Valoran Empire that invaded the territory.
For a time, the pressure on the border of the Xiling Empire was greatly reduced, and the war entered a state of anxiety.
After Caterina became king, she began to recruit soldiers throughout the country, and at the same time exterminated the remnants of the Lacey Empire in the territory.
In just two months, the Golden Epiphany Army expanded to 600,000 troops, divided into two fronts, Chen Bing to the east to threaten the Lacey Empire and Chen Bing to the south to threaten the Aegean Empire.
In addition, there were 50,000 royal guards defending the royal city.
Use the army of the Reis Empire in the territory to train the troops, and when the remnants are cleaned up, the domestic situation is stabilized, and the tax revenue is restored, the army will have a preliminary appearance.
Taking advantage of the few days off, Han Dong bought some rice and scrap steel, which were hard currency, and got the Lilliputian world, which immediately made Carter's treasury very rich.
With this money, coupled with the business network before the Max Chamber of Commerce, soon the entire Carter economy was restored to what it was before the war.
Because the war and conscription took away a large number of people, the number of farmers who cultivated the land was insufficient, and the cultivated land could not be well developed.
Han Dong brought Katerina some semi-mechanized farming equipment manufacturing technology, and these agricultural tools greatly increased the productivity of the entire Carter Kingdom.
Carter as a whole became rich, and there was money for the construction of the "special economic zone" in the north.
With Norton City as the center, the equivalent of one-thirtieth of the current Carter territory was set up as a special economic zone, allowing all races to settle down, and all races with a skill can get free houses after being certified by the "Association for Equal Exchange and Mutual Aid of All Races" referred to as the "Mutual Aid Association".
Katerina took what Han Dong taught her very seriously, especially about national politics.
For example, "the economic foundation determines the superstructure", "the first rich lead the latter to become rich, and the first to get rich is to build roads", "vigorously engage in infrastructure construction, so as to realize the realization of wealth storage for the people", and so on.
A series of policy releases, with the help of magicians and Genki warriors, the entire Carter kingdom was revitalized in a short period of time, and in three months after Caterina became queen, Carter took on a new look.
Han Dong, for his part, also established trade relations with Lilliputia.
Sculpture factory, each sculpture can be exchanged for one pound of grain from Han Dong, that is, 0.5 kilograms, for the people of Lilliputia, then lose five hundred tons, which is a lot of money for them.
For Han Dong, a pound of rice is two pieces, and a sculpture sells for eighty, and he can make a net profit of seventy-five after some operating costs.
And as his reputation opened, the price of some customized sculptures increased, and the profits were even greater.
This business is making a lot of money.
