After a short break in the Folly Islands, the Combined Fleet resupplied and then continued in the direction of the mainland of Akaville. [ ] Fiction

Then, as before, the Combined Fleet rushed to the edge of the continent of Akavir and continued to bombard the lava nodes that were generating and encroaching on the oceans.

However, the situation was not promising, because when they approached the continent of Akavir for the second time, they found that the coastal terrain was no longer the same as before.

After pouring out cannon fire like the first one, blasting through many nodes and attracting more and more infernal creatures, Bethoff once again ordered a retreat.

Repeating this many times, the Combined Fleet moved between the continents of Akavir and Tamriel.

But from the third time, I could feel that the expansion of Purgatory was more obvious, and I could feel it from the voyage, and the round-trip between the two continents, starting from the third time, shortened the time to travel by more than a day.

Tamriel has not changed, so it can only be the land reclamation project of Purgatory that is working.

Each subsequent voyage has been shortened, which means that the distance between the two continents is being shortened in this way, which also means that the power of Purgatory is constantly increasing in this plane, and most of the continent that was originally occupied by aliens has fallen into the hands of Purgatory, and the rest is also divided and encircled and encroached.

The remnants of the alien race may still resist in the old lands that resemble desert oases, but sooner or later they will be destroyed.

The reconnaissance fleet that had returned from the direction of Atmura had also brought back information, and at the same time Solomon had kept in touch with the temple of Akatosh, from which he could also get some battle information, although Akatosh might not tell the whole truth, but with the return of the reconnaissance fleet, the two sides corroborated each other, and at least a general situation could be obtained.

Compared to the Akavir continent, Atmura's side is not bad, because from the beginning, Akatosh mainly focused his forces on that side.

It's just that at the beginning, he still underestimated the power of the Celestial Realm, especially after Iglesias, the Lord of Order and Justice, one of the main gods of the Celestial Realm, appeared and dragged him down. Many Otherworldly Divine Servants and Archangels entered the Bethesda plane, and the pressure of several other Holy Spirits was quite great, and they could no longer resist the double-front attack of Purgatory and Celestial Realm at the same time, so they were forced to cast a time reversal. Iglesis was forcibly sent back to the Celestial Realm and wounded by the power of time, and time in the Beesda plane was returned to the time when Solomon and the others arrived.

In the restarted battle, Akatosh was much smarter, and at the beginning, he gathered the power of the Nine Holy Spirits to resist Atmura's side with all his might. And the direction of purgatory was lost to Solomon and them, anyway, there were believers of the Dedra over there, and even if Solomon and they failed, it was Dedra who lost first.

However, Akatosh also adopted Solomon's plan and entered into some kind of negotiation with the Deeds, and seventeen Didras had already appeared on the continent of Atmura to fight the celestial creatures there.

In short, the situation of the Atmula Continent is much better than that of the Akavir Continent, although it is established by the Celestial Realm, and the Celestial Gate is also endlessly filled with powerful creatures such as archangels and otherworldly gods. Even after Iglesias, two more main gods, Cronias, the Lord of Redemption and Destruction, and Aphrodius, the Lord of Truth and Justice, were descended, but the Celestial Realm was still unable to defeat the resistance of the natives.

The magic brain in the Stupid Islands has increased several times, directly connected to the floating city and the real Skynet, unlike before, it is just a local Skynet, and the intelligence of all parties is also constantly simulated there to cope with the ever-changing situation.

However, there are also limitations to the battle situation simulated by the Demon Brain, for example, some of the domestic situations in the Kaos Terran countries at this time are not simulated by the Demon Brain.

The second step of the Commonwealth plan was a semi-coercive impetus through war, which was relatively easily accepted by the ruling classes of the nations, because of a certain process of decentralization. We also need to face a strong enemy together.

The lower classes, on the other hand, were instigated to think that separating the currency from Mithril and other precious metals would lead to the consequences, and that the government and bankers could print money to exploit people's wealth.

However, fortunately, due to the previous Saxon Celestial Gate incident "educated" people, coupled with timely differentiation and partial tough suppression. There were no riots, which of course had to do with the fact that the new monetary system had just begun.

Originally, the countries of Kaos implemented the consortium plan in order to reduce internal friction and jointly expand externally, so that they could get more and larger markets to meet the release of domestic production capacity.

It's just that in Bethesda, we encountered the current situation. It's just a bit unexpected.

But now for the creatures of the Beses plane, it may be the time when the war has begun to tighten, but for the Keos plane, it has only just begun, just as the domestic production capacity is released, so in this early stage, there is an illusion of prosperity.

Therefore, at this stage, people's living standards have not begun to decline sharply, but because of the release of production capacity, more manufacturing capacity is needed, like some unemployed people have returned to work in factories, and there is no consequence of warning, so people still have some luck psychology.

This kind of information also reached the Foolish Islands, and the political and economic aspects of the country were also requested by Solomon to be passed on to him in a timely manner, because this war was a total war, and Solomon told Benjamin from the beginning that this was a total war.

In a full-scale war, not only the states, but all the forces of the Kaos may be drawn into the war, and the countries may oppress and squeeze more resources from other alien planes to meet their needs for the sake of war.

This will inevitably deepen the contradictions between the ruling class and the middle and lower classes, and they will be able to join hands and endure in the face of a common enemy for a while in war, but once they exceed a certain limit, there will be infighting.

Therefore, Solomon, after learning some of the situation in the country, proposed to the cabinet and other countries that in a total war, even if it is necessary to extract resources, the Koos itself will always be the last, and the priority will be from those other planes that have been conquered.

At the same time, as much as possible, use and nurture the aboriginal forces that can be used by the Beses plane, and in addition to cooperating with their gods, they will not hesitate to arm their ordinary natives, so as to reduce the contradictions in Keos.

To this end, Solomon also made a secret agreement with Lula, the supreme patriarch of the Med, to sell them a large number of guns and ammunition through trading companies and merchants operating in the Empire to help them exterminate the wild elves.

The conflict between the Maider Empire and the wild elves has a long history, and it is actually left over from the Terrans here after replacing the Elven Empire.

Although it is not irreconcilable, but at this time, the time cost and actual cost to be paid will be larger, it is better to simply eliminate these disobedient aborigines, in exchange for the cooperation of the Maid Empire, and at the same time, you can also take this opportunity to help the Med Empire quickly exterminate the wild elves in the name of letting the High Elves of Keos occupy the Summer Twilight Islands, and the orcs from the Skyfire Plateau can also be sent as mercenaries to help the Maid Empire suppress bandits.

But once the eradication is successful, the orc royal court will also be able to infiltrate the Beesda plane and connect with those beast races such as snake people and tiger people.

The contradictions before balancing the native of the Keos plane always have to come out with something, and in this case, it is most appropriate to be generous to others.

The most upset in this process are the wild elves of Bethesda, they had been smooth sailing before, but they never dreamed that they would be betrayed and calculated like this, and among the people who betrayed them were the so-called "returnee elves" who had been allowed to stay in the Summer Twilight Islands before.

In addition to the floating city, a large number of ground-based Skynet base stations were built all over Skyline Province, and the source power of Skynet finally began to be smoothly transmitted here.

At the same time, on the Nefarem side, Solomon also planned to search for those Nefarems who had been resurrected.

Because most of the Nefarems are transformed from the ancient heroes of the aborigines, as long as the natives are used to influence them, and then make them feel that the natives are friendly to them, the Nefarems will not be hostile to the people of the St. Queos plane.

Solomon also armed the lord army of Skyrim Province half-sold and half-sent, and the local production capacity also needs to be released anyway, which can be regarded as giving the lord army of Skyrim Province some benefits, and even producing some illusory sense of security.

As for the other provinces, there is no good way for the time being, although the Mader Empire nominally unifies Tamriel, but the only one who can really fully control it is Cellodiel, and the other provinces can only exert influence of different sizes, and cannot be like an arm, otherwise there will be no Skyrim Province that does not want to send troops to deal with the wild elves, but would rather contribute materials and buy off the imperial ministers.

Like there are a lot of dwarves in High Rock Province, the dwarves of Asturias are okay as technicians, let them engage in diplomacy, and it will definitely not work to win over these aborigines, although wine is a powerful weapon for diplomatic dwarves, but if you let the native dwarves who are also dwarves do it, it is very likely that it is on the way, and the diplomatic gifts will be drunk by them first, and then come back empty-handed.

The snake people in the Black Marsh Province and the tiger people in Ilvi Province also have a general situation, and it is too late in terms of time and cost, so it is better to let the orcs of the Tianhuo Plateau deal with it.

By the time Bethhof and them returned for the seventh time, the news they had brought back was not good, as it had only taken them five days to see the lava in Akavir.

The real danger is that the lava in Purgatory is generating faster and faster, so the time for the two continents to get closer is getting closer.

War is coming. (To be continued.) )
