Section 136 Different Reigns (I)

After the two countries agreed on the affairs of the Fadell plane and decided to follow the open-door policy together, the Titanians were finally able to launch an onslaught against the natives without any fear.

In the case of Asturias, it is more special, and it is authorized by Fadell Pioneer Ltd. to defend the honor and interests of Asturias in the Fadell plane.

The reason for this weirdness is simple: Edward doesn't plan to invest more troops other than the legion in the fortress.

Therefore, the legion is only responsible for guarding the fortress and ensuring that the passage between the two planes is unblocked, and the interests of the Fadell plane need to be found by Solomon and the Pioneer Company themselves.

However, Solomon was also prepared for this, and he used the name of Fardell Limited to mercenary troops to fight.

But the number of troops he hired was unexpected, it was not a famous mercenary group in the Kaos plane, if it was a mercenary group to fight, it was estimated that one or two mercenary groups would not be enough, and the cost of military spending would be huge.

So he hired dwarves from the Black Rock Plane.

With the help of Solomon, the dwarves of the Land of Stonefist learned to use firearms, and Solomon's workshop made them into firebolts and sold them to the Kingdom of Stonefist, helping them to defeat most of the dwarven tribes in the Black Rock Plane, leaving only a few tribes to flee to the most remote places, and they have not all been wiped out for a while. A unified, slave-based dwarven kingdom has emerged on the Black Rock plane.

Although the dwarves still maintain a strict reverence for the aliens led by Solomon, Solomon must find some new target for them, otherwise. Whether it's the dwarves corrupted. Or revitalization. It is possible for him to cause trouble in the Black Rock Plane, and at that time, either he will have to invest huge manpower and material resources to keep a single Qiē in the Black Rock Plane, or he will have to further open the Black Rock Plane and allow the kingdom to intervene.

Neither was in Solomon's interest, and he thought of a better way to have these Black Rock Dwarves serve as cannon fodder for him on the Fadell plane, killing the resistance of the Fadell natives.

It doesn't get any more suitable, he just needs to take a certain benefit. In exchange for some of the valuable items of the Kaos, such as the builds, weapons, armor, and favorite spirits favored by the nobles of the Stonefist Nation, and the strength of their relationship with Tieye, the Stonefist Nation agreed to send its slave army into battle. Of course, there is a great deal of success because the country of Stone Fist is now over-expanded, and there are already many tribes in the kingdom, and the tribe of Tieye is already a minority among them, and they all rely on harsh slavery to rule the kingdom.

Therefore, the upper nobles of the Black Rock Dwarves need to consume the population of some of the superior tribes so as not to affect their rule. And Solomon hit it off.

In this way, Solomon amassed a large army of Black Rock Dwarves at a very small cost. Among them, Tieye also sent a group of elite dwarves under his command at the request of Solomon, this dwarven army can use firearms, and Solomon is responsible for equipping them with arms, the responsibility of this army is first to oversee the army, and they supervise the military operations of the dwarven army, and then to fight, and the ammunition allocated for them is paid as a reward and does not need to return.

In this way, the military offensive on behalf of Fadell Ltd. officially began.

The initial battle of the dwarven army did not go well, and they were met head-on by the Fadel natives.

The natives were shocked and angry, and expressed resentment at the treachery of the aliens of the East who were still trading with them, and they preferred to give up on confronting the Titanians head-on even in the early stages of the war, but to fight the Asturians and, no, the army of the Fadell Pioneer Company.

And this is the reason why Solomon hired the dwarves as cannon fodder, because at this time, the natives still have a lot of guns and bullets in their hands, which must be consumed and need human lives to fill. Of course, this can't be consumed by too many Asturias, and it doesn't hurt if it's on the premise that you've already eaten the dividends of the Fadell plane, but now it's just in sight, and if too many people die for this, maybe it will affect the stock price again, and Solomon is determined to use the opportunity of Fadell's affairs to get more people to accept the stock.

In the early battle, the dwarves suffered heavy casualties, and they were forced to participate in the war by the slave owners and nobles in a strange land, and consumed the arms in the hands of the natives of the Fadell plane with their lives.

In the most tragic battles, some of the Black Rock Dwarves could not bear the cruelty of the war, and fled into the mountains at the risk of being killed by the Overseers, and a few years later, the descendants of these dwarves formed a dwarven race on the plane of Fadell, which is a story for another time.

But more dwarves had no choice but to die in battle, behind them not only were the warlords, but also their relatives who were controlled by the dwarven slave owners, their tribes were broken at the beginning, and all of them became slaves of the country of Stone Fist, and now they are forced to fight, and the consequence of disobedience is that the whole family sits together.

Two months later, the Aborigines found themselves in a difficult situation. The bullets sold to them by the Oriental aliens were almost exhausted, and the firecrackers were partially damaged, and even if they were intact, they could only be used as iron rods.

The Titanians in the south no longer had to defend against the Asturians, and gathered all their elite forces to go straight to the central temple of Mana, while the dwarves in the east were bloodied by the natives, but they were endless, and finally they ran out of bullets. And when the aborigines showed the dilemma of the failure of the firecracker, the army of the Fadell Pioneer Co., Ltd. also began to counterattack fiercely, and the elite dwarven musketeers who also had the firecracker began to appear on the battlefield, no longer just to supervise the battle, but to let the aborigines also taste the taste of firearms.

The natives could not resist, Jagitta, the lord of the Fire Country, was killed in battle, he died at the hands of the Titanians, Lanfonso, the lord of the Sand Country, and his brother Lansol, who were first seriously wounded under the siege of the Dragon Emperor's original men, and then were killed by the dwarven musketeers when they broke out, and the warlocks of the Land of Ice, Water, and Green became captives after their magic ran out.

The fiercest battle broke out in Mana's central temple, although the former High Priest Lindsey was dead, and she served as the body of the goddess during the last Goddess Mana's descent. But the new High Priest of Mana was still desperate to awaken the sleeping goddess.

But in order to meet this battle. Titania and Solomon have long been prepared. Two legendary powerhouses were dispatched by Titania, plus Strauss, a total of three legendary powerhouses besieged the awakened goddess Mana.

Although she was not able to kill the god on the spot, she was severely wounded, destroying the body of the new high priest who had descended on her temporary body, and forcing the goddess Mana to flee back to her kingdom.

Of course, the goddess Manna also opened the kingdom of God as she did in the last decisive battle with the undead, freeing the spirits to join the battle. But the preparations for the siege of the central temple this time were very adequate. Titania had two and a half main armies, and the Solomon side was slightly weaker, but there were also dwarven musketeers and a large number of cannon fodder, and a native leader led the way to the war.

After a fierce battle, not only was the goddess Mana wounded and fled back to her kingdom, but the central temple of Mana was also destroyed.

A month later, Mana's last remnants of the Fadell plane, the Northern Temple, collapsed under the attack of Count Evil Eye and the mage of Kamene.

All that remained was a feast of filth, and the Titanians and Solomon they negotiated again. Although the Titanians had previously recognized the validity of some of the pre-war agreements between the Fadel Pioneer Company and the Aborigines, it was not in everyone's interest. It was not easy to manage, so it was renegotiated, and after a series of exchanges, the two sides agreed to divide each other's interests by a certain boundary, and the east was ruled by the Fadell Pioneer Company, and the west belonged to the Titanians.

In the actual area of domination of both sides, the Fadell Pioneer Company only occupies about one-third of the effective area, which is far inferior to the Titanians.

But this can't be helped, after all, the Titanians have invested far more strength in this plane than Solomon, and the actual results in joint operations are much greater.

Next was the domination and administration of the Fadell plane, and the Asturians were also different from the Titanians.

Titania implements a satrapy system, with the prince of Garon as the first governor of Thai Fadel, ruling Thai Fadell on behalf of Titania, and the White Dragon Legion will be stationed here for a long time, and then replace the other main legions with two second-line legions similar to Hobro plus five local guard regiments, because the resistance of the Fadell aborigines has basically collapsed, and what remains is that a lot of manpower is needed to maintain order, rather than the main army to fight.

The Governor is the highest administrative and military governor of Thai Fadel, only responsible for the emperor Sauron and the military department, and sent a large number of people from Titania to build the administrative system of Thai Fadel, although the aborigines have succumbed, but they are strictly isolated from power, and at first even the aborigines were not allowed to participate in the form of political participation, and after a few years, in order to ease the relationship with the aborigines and reduce the difficulty and cost of the ruler's management, a small number of elites among the aborigines were allowed to join the political council.

But this council was completely different from the expanding parliament in Asturias, with only parliamentary power, no legislative power and no real executive power, and more like the governor's staff.

In addition to military and administrative, culturally, the Titanians have always been arrogant and so-called great powers, and they systematically required the aborigines to learn the lingua franca, and forced the Titanian customs among the aborigines in an attempt to assimilate them.

To this end, they formulated a naturalization law, anyone born in Thai Fadel, loyal to Titania and has held a public office in Thai Fadel for more than five years, has no bad official record or has a knight sponsor, and can read and write in the lingua franca, and has a certain amount of property, are eligible to apply to the Governor's Office to join Titania, which will take effect after being approved and signed by the Governor, and become official citizens of Titania.

However, the effect was not very good, because in the subsequent rule, the rule of Titania was relatively harsh, the first governor was the prince of Garon, and the aborigines did not forget the previous killing, and the initiative to become a citizen of Titania was less than they expected, until the governor was replaced by the more moderate Prince Tristan, and the number of people who joined the Thai nationality increased.

Economically, Titania also implemented a very tough policy, in addition to the black rock and other mining that must be mined, they imposed the cultivation of the Fadel indigenous people according to their own domestic demand for cash crops.

In the year of the famine, the result was that many people starved to death, and many people risked being discovered and killed by alien patrols, or fled into the wilderness and mountains that the alien rulers could not touch for the time being, or fled to the relatively milder Alfadel region.

This is also one of the main reasons why Prince Tristan was able to take over as Prince Galleon later, Thai Fadel was originally 2.3 times that of the Albanian Fadel area, and the population was 2.5 times that of the Fadel of Albania, but after the reign of the Prince of Garon for two years, not only the number of aboriginal uprisings was five or six times that of the Albanian Fadel District, but also the death or migration of a large number of people, which affected the interests and development of Titania in Fadel.

However, in a series of Titania's ruling measures and policies, although many are different from Asturias, one thing is the same.

That is, both sides unanimously promoted the lingua franca and banned Mana's faith in a harsh manner.

Asturias was banned and officially introduced to the Church of the God of War, while Titania was much blunt, banning Mana's faith with a killing poke.

The purpose of this is to completely eliminate the goddess of Mana, and according to the estimation of the three legendary powerhouses who participated in the siege of the goddess of Mana, the goddess of Mana is not far from falling. She had already caused great losses in the previous war of the dead, and the loss of the gods was not only injury, but in fact, the injury was for the gods, as long as they were nourished in the kingdom of God, they would be restored; the trouble was that the Holy Spirit in the kingdom of God had lost too much, and there was also a large reduction in the number of believers in the material plane to which they were attached.

After being injured, the goddess Mana could only fall into a deep sleep for the time being, looking forward to recovery. She has closed the kingdom of God, and even legendary mages must first find the entrance to the kingdom and let it manifest before attacking her.

However, even if the entrance to the kingdom of God is revealed, if the divine power is abundant, the entrance will appear in an extremely dangerous place or in the void, at this time, the ordinary army will not be able to participate in the attack, and if the divine power is insufficient, the entrance will be easier to enter.

The defense of the kingdom of God is also much stronger than the half-plane of the legendary mage, and there are only two ways to destroy the kingdom of God, either directly destroy the kingdom of God, or consume the power of the kingdom of God and the gods.

Both the Holy Spirit and the number of believers can provide a source of divine power for the gods to fight.

Therefore, both Titania and Asturias used the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, forbidding Mana's faith and believers to exist in the material plane, when the faith is completely broken, the goddess may not even have a chance to wake up, and the divine kingdom gradually shrinks, until one day it suddenly disintegrates, and there is an inexplicable earthquake or landslide, and the goddess Mana no longer exists.
