Chapter 290 Ian: I think it’s a bit too extreme (please vote for me!)
As time went by, the entire continent of Terra became aware of the fact that Feiyan Land dispatched demonic legions, and after achieving certain results in the Western Region, they finally ran into a wall in the South Ridge, and were taken away by the Dragon King to take away the Dragon of the Abyss.
When many people received this news, their first thought was not to laugh at Feiyandi's failure, or to be wary of the empire's trump card, but to look at the sky with cautious eyes.
Dragon Island.
From the Lost Era to the present, and even in the more distant pre-epochal civilization, the figure of Dragon Island has always existed, hidden behind the history of civilization.
The ancient true dragon kings have always overlooked all things in the world. The wars, massacres and ugliness in the world cannot move them. Only a very small number of sins and natural disasters that can destroy all things can make them punish and pacify.
And this time, did Feiyandi violate the bottom line that no one knows about?
No. It seems not.
The keen country noticed that the Dragon Kings only took away the Dragon of the Abyss this time. They did not punish Feiyandi, nor did they rebuke Feiyandi's demonic technology - just like in the past, as long as it is a technology developed by humans, even if it is
No matter how inhuman it is, the dragon will not care.
Just like humans create poisons that are enough to poison themselves on this land, but they don't care. In the eyes of the Dragon King, demonic technology may be the same as those extremely polluting industrial production facilities.
But... if you use some method to create a real dragon for your own use... or if you use those magical fires, you will be attacked by the Dragon King.
That is the real bottom line of Long Island.
Then things get interesting.
Everyone has seen the destructive power of the demon army. Feiyandi was indeed shot as the leading bird, but the empire's western border defense line was torn apart in an instant, and the entire province was reduced to a hell on earth. This is a fact - this is a conventional army
What could not be accomplished in several years, the Demon Legion accomplished in just one month when it was still immature.
The flaws and loopholes exposed by the Demon Legion on the battlefield, as well as the advantages and strength displayed, will become food for all countries, allowing them to work harder to improve their technology.
But that's all for later.
Now, everyone, whether they are imperial people or foreigners, the people in the Western Region who are suffering, or the residents of Nanling and the Central Plains who have been frightened for a long time... everyone wants to see one thing.
That's The Empire Strikes Back.
——At this critical turning point, what will the empire do?
Yin En is also curious about this.
July 24, Terra 775.
Nine days after the great victory in the Battle of Nanling.
During these nine days, the production activities in Nanling have returned to their original state. Although most of the settlements in the Golden Plains have been completely destroyed and the ecology has suffered serious damage, with the development of the Nanling area in recent days, the western hilly area and northwest
Many brand new towns have appeared in the mountainous areas of the country.
The refugees from the Golden Plains are now resettled there, being absorbed by the urban circles around the Silver Peak Territory and Nauman City - although there is not a lot of waste after the war, there are indeed many jobs that need people to do.
At the same time, they don't need to worry about not having a bite to eat, because this is a good opportunity for Earl Yinfeng to win people's hearts.
Cheap canned food and relief porridge distributed in the name of the Chongling Sect, as well as the armed clergy of the Chongling Sect, ensured the order of the refugee camps and the stability of food distribution.
During the inspection, even if someone was starving to death, they would never dare to snatch food from others.
Yin En did not quickly feed this group of refugees. He repeatedly stated that the food reserves were insufficient, and the Silver Peak Leader needed to mobilize food from various chambers of commerce. Taking this opportunity, he successfully allowed all the chambers of commerce in Nanling to be temporarily unified in 'Nanling'
Under the umbrella of the War Material Distribution Center, it manages and regulates the price and distribution of food.
After ensuring that the refugees were hungry for several days, he began to selectively distribute food to women, children and the elderly who needed it most.
No reason. It’s just because refugees will appreciate food only if they have been hungry - otherwise, they may be picky and think it is not delicious and not fresh.
Yin En won't really use stale food to go to the lake to get these refugees who will be absorbed into the Silver Peak Territory in the future, but he definitely doesn't want to absorb some uncles who can't even say 'thank you'.
After the war, the control of the military factory in Nanling... was not returned as a matter of course.
To be honest, everyone thought that Yin En would not return the arms factory after taking it, so they resisted in every possible way, delaying the mechanization replacement time of the 19th Army, resulting in at least two to three thousand more casualties. Now Yin En
En has already taken control of the factory, how could he return it?
This is called conforming to imagination.
Up to now, under the rule of the Heart of Terra, the entire industrial production of South Ridge, including the military industry, has been coordinated to an almost perfect level - from mining in mountain mining areas, to refining, to manufacturing finished products and
Sales, this series of production chains have been mastered and optimized by Yin En.
In the past, it was impossible for the nobles of Nanling to do such a thing, because everyone was based on their own convenience. However, under the pressure of Feiyandi and Yin En's violent coordination, they had to change their production model.
The entire territory serves the production of the entire Nanling Province.
To put it simply, in the past, Nanling was a loose alliance composed of a group of small and medium-sized nobles. Although they were all members of the empire in name, they were actually managed as a mess.
And Yin En tempered them with war, took back many of the rights of the local small and medium-sized nobles, and even forcibly took away their right to freedom of production - they had to produce whatever Nanling needed them to produce. This is the so-called Nanling
Planned economy.
Although it sounds very unfree, this is a more advanced production model. You can't have a pre-industrial primitive market economy in the world of Terra, right? This is somewhat...
In this regard, the Marquis of Barton, the eldest brother of the Nanling nobles, received many crying letters from the nobles.
Many Nanling nobles shed tears and complained about Yin En's abominable appearance - he is a dictator who took advantage of the imperial war to gather all the power in his own hands. Sir, you must not be deceived by this devil with a gorgeous shell!
"Yin En, what do you think we should do?"
In response, Marquis Barton, who was being pinched by Yin En, put the envelope aside casually: "They want to jointly sue you to the Hall of Nobles for overstepping your authority, saying that you have violated the autonomy of the imperial nobility."
"I will set off to the Western Region this afternoon to meet with Count Sparling, the director of the Imperial Nobles' Department. He will definitely understand me."
While rubbing the Marquis' shoulders, Yin En didn't care about the cries of these little nobles: "They should thank me for helping them make money - with their production model, in a hundred years they will still be small handicraft workshops in the imperial market.
There can't be any competition."
"But in my hands, whether it is military rations or drinks, military drones or various new artillery... they will all show their glory in the current all-out war."
"They should be grateful if they can collect the profits instead of being killed by me."
"You have lost your ferocity."
The Marquis of Barton commented: "I thought you would kill a group of people just like before the war started - these people will feel itchy if you don't kill a few, but you have to kill more."
"You're a little too extreme."
Yin En shook his head: "It was a last resort before the war started. The Nanling Defense Battle has ended, and the battle line has been pushed back to the west. These nobles are left to do whatever they want... The people in the territory themselves will understand whether they feel comfortable being controlled by me or being controlled by me.
Those little nobles are comfortable."
Without bad, there is naturally no good. Without these short-sighted and willful little nobles, how could Yin En improve his reputation in front of the residents of Nanling?
The most important thing in struggle is to find the enemy - whenever there are enemies and comparison, it is the best way to maintain authority.
Not to mention, with Yin En's current reputation, it would be a bit of a loss to deal with those minor nobles personally.
In these nine days of publicity and accumulation, Yin En's reputation in Nanling can basically be said to be the true god in the world.
When Yin En went to a certain place to offer condolences, basically all the people who could move in that place would come and cheer in person. Those who could not move would be carried by others. Everyone was proud to touch Yin En. Yin En smiled and shook hands with someone.
, they can go a week without washing their hands and show off to others.
When Yin En gave a speech, they cheered. When Yin En appealed, they agreed. When Yin En said how Nanling should be developed, everyone carried it out unswervingly.
No one disobeys - a hero who can summon heavenly fire and defeat the fourth-level demon in live broadcasts, a well-deserved iron-fisted ruler of Nanling, the founder of a new type of warfare... What, you are not convinced?
Everyone was so convinced that sometimes they felt like they had given up thinking. Some people even asked Yin En some development questions based on rationality. Yin En himself thought it was nothing. He thought about it and prepared to answer it seriously, and ended up being enthusiastic.
The people almost beat up the person who asked the question.
What! How dare you question Lord Yin En’s decision-making? I think you look a bit like a spy from Feiyan!
"That's almost it."
Yin En felt that these people were obviously a bit extreme, but there was nothing he could do about it. Human beings were just like this. In the final analysis, it was his fault for his personality charm, astonishing wisdom and record. He didn't blame these people.
Nowadays, Yin En's prestige is so terrifying. It can even be said that Yin En came to Nauman City to chat with Marquis Barton because he could not stand the consequences of excessive prestige and charm.
Let’s let the people of Nanling calm down first.
It is precisely Yin En's prestige that has reached this level. Otherwise, how could these nobles just cry to the Noble Hall and Marquis Barton instead of confronting them head-on like Baron Yin Sa?
Because none of his men dared to be enemies with Yin En, no matter how hard they struggled, they were nothing more than frogs in a pot, slowly being boiled to death by warm water.
"In the new era, the Nanling nobles need to welcome a new order."
While talking and laughing, Yin En and Marquis Barton determined the future operating system of the Nanling nobles, which was also the 'trophy' after the war.
After all, in this great battle against the Demon Legion, the vast majority of the Nanling nobles did not play any role, and could even be said to have a negative role, so their rights and interests would naturally be reduced.
And those who have made contributions, such as Elder Manya and Viscount Grant, can get more things.
Elder Manya is now a member of the Chongling Sect and the Silver Peak Leader. His harvest is Yin En's harvest. The same is true for Adlbert and Xiou. After becoming the third level, Viscount Grant also obtained
To the astonishing feat of 'joining forces to kill the fourth-level demon'.
Now Yin En and the Marquis of Barton are joining forces to support him. Based on the Grant family's achievements in pioneering the southernmost part of the South Ridge over the years, perhaps over time, the entire redwood forest area and the islands in the South China Sea will become part of the Marquis of Grant's territory.
This is also the glory and future that Inega II promised to the Grant family decades ago...it will become a reality.
By Yin En's hand.
"Next, it's time to set off."
Standing up, Marquis Barton looked twenty years younger because he survived the attack from the Flying Flame Land. He was very satisfied with his choice of Yin En. If he were to deal with the great demon Deathstroke,
The best result is to survive for half an hour and then be swept by the opponent.
And now? Both he and Yin En have received awards from the empire. If nothing else, there is no problem in getting a Golden Xi Medal for each person. And taking advantage of this momentum, he himself will not be able to become the fourth level, but his
As long as the son or grandson continues to follow Yin En, there will be no problem in becoming the fourth level.
And now, they have even entered the high-level decision-making level of the empire... and can go to the Western Territory to participate in the prelude to the subsequent empire's counterattack.
The Marquis of Barton himself knew the details of the counterattack, but he could not tell Yin En.
He believed that even a prophet would be surprised by this.
Soon, an airship arrived at the lift behind the Governor's Mansion, and the two of them boarded the airship heading to the Western Territory.
Looking down from the sky, the earth can only be described as a mess.
The land that the devil marches through is always a scorched earth, and at best it is barren. There were originally large areas of yellow-green grass on the golden plain, but now only large areas of gray-yellow rock layers can be seen.
Further west in the Golden Plains, at the junction of the two provinces and around the Earth Hurricane Bridge, order has been restored.
The fortress that was originally bewitched by Confused Heart is nearby.
What Yin En thought was that if the demon army retreated in disarray after being attacked by sky fire, they could just have a good show here, saying, "The demon army will be destroyed here!" But who knew that the demon's fighting spirit was so strong that he could actually fight 100%
The miraculous achievement of not retreating even though he suffered losses, General Deathstroke even fought to the last moment.
Oh, this is a fantasy world, so that's okay.
After seeing this airship from Nanling with the coat of arms of the Governor and Silver Peak, the fortress on the ground also hoisted the imperial flag to pay tribute - they did not know that it was Yin En who commanded Douxin to save their lives.
But they knew that if the Silver Peak Leader did not lead the Nanling Allied Forces to a great victory and annihilate the demon army locally, they would end up becoming the nourishment for the demons to regain their strength.
There are many such fortresses along the way, and they also raise flags in salute.
Regardless of whether Yin En and others saw it or not, they thanked Yin En from the bottom of their hearts for being the 'Hero of Nanling'.
And heroes like this have appeared on all major battlefields in the empire recently.
On the front line between Northland and Castle Peak, the eldest son of the Ellen family, Clar Ellen, performed extremely well in the defensive battle at the Steel Hammer Pass. This brother of Isengard showed amazing ability and popularity by artificially creating landslides.
, led the coalition of northern nobles to completely annihilate the 7th Special Armored Brigade of Junling Castle.
In the eastern plain, Fu Shuang, the twenty-seventh generation descendant of Governor Bai Ji (the Ice Wind Butterfly grew up relatively quickly), went deep into the enemy's rear and located the preparation point of the Cangtian Royal Court's mobile fleet. He led the artillery strike and severely damaged the Cangtian Royal Court.
of a mobile fleet.
In the Western Region, there are many imperial soldiers who are holding on to the demonic offensive - some of them are local ascendants who have replaced the fleeing local nobles and led the people to resist tenaciously, and some are local nobles who have taken the lead and held on to their territory.
In general, each one is a hero template, each one has extraordinary courage and courage, and they all have extraordinary results.
But even so, Yin En's record is the most terrifying among all people - while others are still resisting, confronting, or annihilating a few conventional troops, Yin En has already wiped out a third of them.
An army of demons.
Yin En's view on this is simple.
These people do all have real qualities... It can even be said that they have achieved meritorious service by virtue of their own abilities.
But the empire’s current fanatical propaganda is undoubtedly a move that has been planned in advance!
In the past two months, the empire suffered a full-scale offensive, and all major provinces were invaded by all parties. For a time, the whole country seemed to be in a dark moment.
And just when people hoped for a hero and longed for a hero to appear, a hero appeared.
These heroes...including Yin En himself, are definitely people who can pass the review and are truly 'loyal' to the empire. At least that's what the people of the empire think.
If it was Yin En before, he might not be able to notice it... But Yin En, who became a goblin, was extremely keenly aware that the virtual realm of the entire empire was slowly changing.
Changes driven by someone's plans.
Based on Yin En's research on the virtual realm, he could only see changes, but he could not see what this change actually meant. In fact, Yin En's level was already among the highest in Terra, and he wanted to go even higher.
, there are only a group of people like the Capital of Knowledge and Fairy Dragon Island.
Speaking of this, Yin En thought that Mentor Dongyu had not left after helping to move the goblin lair in the South China Sea to the top of the snow... and he also had conjectures about spiritual powers such as the 'End of Reincarnation' and wanted to communicate with the goblin clan.
Have a good chat.
When the time comes, let’s talk about it together with the ‘changes in the virtual realm of the empire’.
"War creates change, change creates suffering. Suffering creates heroes, and heroes lead the trend of thought."
With this in mind, Yin En whispered to himself: "Marquis Barton, don't you think the person who did this is simply too arrogant?"
"You are not qualified to speak of Your Majesty."
Marquis Barton lowered his eyes. He understood what Yin En was saying, and he didn't want to hide it from him: "Although I don't know what your Majesty is going to do... but at least the people in the empire are awake now."
"Just like the people of Nanling now place their hopes so fanatically on you, and have an unforgettable hatred for the Flying Flame Land - isn't this a good thing? Many of your reforms and changes must be
Built on such soil.”
"Yin En, the late emperor said that he did not want to sacrifice anyone, he wanted to personally grasp the wave of the times... and you know the result."
Yin En could only sigh.
Everything that Yin Najia II did did pointed out the way for those who came after him. All the reforms he made can be attributed to Yin Najia II's guidance. In this way, there will be people like Master Gosei.
Help yourself and recognize yourself.
However, his failure also caused Yin En's current predicament.
That is, almost everyone is not optimistic about the kind of values and choices represented by Yinaiga II.
Because it has failed. It has proven difficult to achieve. It has proven that the people cannot help the king tide over difficulties except for their support.
Therefore, the kings of Terra became more and more stubborn and focused on the results rather than the process.
After all, this is a world different from Earth.
With such a sigh, Yin En's will became stronger.
Now that things have happened, he is already on his own path. He is not Yinaga II, let alone Axel, the guardian of the land. The leader he wants to become and the society he wants to create are completely different from everyone in Terra.
Are not the same.
Marquis Barton silently stared at the profile of the young lord in front of him and sighed slightly.
soon.
The airboat sailed across the sky and the earth, and Yin En and Marquis Barton arrived at the Western Territory.
And the moment Yin En arrived in the Western Region, he noticed that there was an extra city where he and others were going.
A city located on a super giant black platform, armed to the teeth with multiple riveted steam-steel turrets!
It was also at this time... While Yin En was still overlooking this strange steel city that had suddenly appeared in the West for some unknown reason, a thunderous sound exploded from the core of the city.
.
Immediately afterwards, driven by the blue inscription circuit flowing throughout the city, amidst the rumbling thunder, and Yin En's eyes widening with a look of disbelief on his face, it began to move...or rather,
It starts to levitate!
Buzz——
Terra 775, July 24, 7:35.
As the sunset was slowly setting, a black city slowly rose above the earth.
