"Extra! Extra! The devil is massacring in the southern region! 300,000 refugees are homeless! Extra! Extra!" At the intersection of a slightly ancient street, a newsboy waved the newspaper in his hand and shouted crazily.
From time to time, pedestrians would pass by him, throw him a coin, and then take a newspaper from the satchel on his chest, and walk forward, lowering their heads to read the contents carefully.
This headline is still very exciting. Although many people have already seen the morning news, reading newspapers is still a pastime. There are still people who buy it, and there are still people who are willing to get some current affairs news from this relatively "old" way.
Although newspapers were invented just a few years ago, they are still beginning to be eliminated. Today's newspapers have been overshadowed by television news and the emerging Internet, and have become a specific hobby for a specific group of people.
Seeing that his voice was better, the newsboy also worked harder to sell the newspapers in his hands: "People are used as food! The Balmeshir area is occupied by demons! It's tragic! Come and buy it!"
His shouts attracted more curious people. Although televisions were beginning to become more popular, there were still many civilians in this neighborhood, and not many people had spare money to buy a television.
On the newspaper, there was a photo from the front line of the battlefield. Among the ruins, several fleeing civilians were extremely nervous. Their eyes looking at the camera were full of fear and despair.
In huge bold letters, the title is shocking, and the subtitle also makes people hairy when they look at it. Demons feed on humans in the southern region, and the Bameshir region is filled with blood.
Bathed in the sunshine of peace, people who had almost never heard of any tragic wars in the past five years gathered together in twos and threes, shaking their heads and sighing at the newspapers.
Although they are still not rich, compared with their previous lives, they have already provided for themselves and even have spare money to buy clothes.
These civilians no longer have to worry about not having enough food to eat, nor do they have to worry about not having enough clothes to cover their bodies. Although they can only live in small apartments, their lives have improved a lot for them.
So they are now familiar with those distant and terrifying terms, and they also cherish the beauty of the present. After their personal comparison, they are convinced that they live in a great empire worthy of loyalty.
"Oh my god, they actually eat people, so they must be wiped out..." A civilian said with emotion while reading the newspaper.
Another civilian nodded and agreed with his neighbor: "Isn't it? It's scary to think about it... How can this be a stranger? This is clearly a devil! They all have to be burned to death!"
A car passed by on the road, and the radio in the car was playing the morning news. The announcer said these terrible things one by one, making the people in the car very nervous.
Now that everyone is so rich and rich, don't let a group of scary man-eating monsters come and ruin everyone's life, otherwise it will be really over.
No one wants to lose their current life, so everyone is very sensitive to the topic of "monster invasion".
In the car, the young rich man sitting in the back seat sighed, asked the driver to help him turn off the radio, and looked out the window with some worry.
Now this empire can be said to be really powerful, but many things are still not so reassuring.
For example, the city is getting bigger and bigger, and has expanded to ten times and hundreds of times before. Seris City has even become so big that it can cover almost the entire territory of Seris.
In these expanding cities, no fortifications were built at all, and even all the original fortifications were demolished due to lack of land.
Taking Seris as an example, the places where the anti-aircraft gun emplacements, city walls, and searchlights used to be are now the luxury homes in the first ring where every inch of land is at a premium.
These places no longer have those cold reinforced concrete towers, no towering artillery, and no thick city walls.
Instead, there are wide streets, beautiful green plants, and buildings rising from the ground. These things cannot be fought, and they seem to have no defensive capabilities.
The only thing that seems to be comforting is that the underground bunkers in these cities are well-constructed, with underground blocks, bustling subways and underground shopping malls. Most of them can be used as air-raid shelters and also have the function of storing supplies.
.
What makes people nervous is that if the demons break through the borders and defeat the field troops fighting in foreign lands, then these big cities will have almost no defense capabilities, at least that's what it seems...
There are no walls or trenches here, and everything that restricts urban development seems to have been demolished.
There are very few troops stationed on the edge of the city. Most of the time, you can't even see these soldiers who only train in closed areas. Mobile version::
Except for the air force that can occasionally be seen training, and the huge floating transport ships that don't move very fast, ordinary people don't even feel the existence of war.
Many soldiers can even go back home, spend a few months vacation with their relatives, and then return to the front line to fight. How can this be called a state of war?
"Look at this group of people... If the devil invades Elland Hill, they will all be eaten... Our business will be ruined, and this place will become a hell on earth." The young rich man thought a lot and suddenly said to himself
Words.
He was probably talking to his driver, but the driver was concentrating on driving. After a while, he considered his tone and replied: "As long as you are safe, Master. We can leave Dosenal and go to Seris."
In the view of his driver, Dosenal is already a very safe and great city. It has expanded tenfold in the past two years. The roads are smooth and there are high-rise buildings everywhere. Pedestrians on the street are crowded one after another.
, it’s really a huge difference compared to before.
Ever since Elanthiel occupied this place, war seemed to be a distant term. No one believed that the enemy would come here, because the nearest enemy had already been beaten to the Franno River Basin.
"You don't understand... you don't understand..." The young rich man still has some vision. He feels that once the troops on the border of Ailan Hill are annihilated by the enemy, then the enemy will march straight in, and none of the cities behind will be safe.
Insured.
However, he still didn't say this because the other person was just his driver, just a subordinate who was not on the same level as him.
It seems that it is necessary to move the business that I run from the south to the north. At least I can buy double insurance. If something goes wrong, I can still keep half of my net worth...
It's just that the land in the north... the price is really exaggerated and scary. I heard that labor is also very expensive. Shareholders may not be willing to rashly transfer their property to a part of the north.
"Alas..." Thinking of this, he sighed and shook his head slightly. In his opinion, those were just a bunch of idiots who only cared about immediate interests.
As he was thinking, the cars over there had already entered the gate of his company. Outside the gate, there was still an endless stream of people going to work. This place was still heaven, no matter how far away it was, it had become hell.
Where he couldn't see, the dwarven Ironforge was building its 15th aerial transport ship, and even more similar aerial transport ships were being built at the same time.
At the same time, in Seris, the second floating battleship has begun to be put into service and tested. In the arsenal far away in Tubao, the construction of the third floating battleship has also been completed... These battleships will soon be put into use to form the original idea.
, Airanthil’s Sky Fleet.
Compared with the troops deployed on the periphery, the combat effectiveness of the core area of Ireland is not weak at all, but it is hidden under the favorable economic recovery and is not so easy to detect.
If nothing else, just look at the increasing number of super god puppets that have begun to become less valuable, as well as the terrifyingly powerful and increasing number of nuclear weapons buried deep underground, and you will know that Elanxi
In fact, you have not relaxed your military building at all.
Not only has it not relaxed, it has actually been greatly intensified. In countless laboratories, weapons of mass destruction in Alan Hill are being developed one after another, many of which are very targeted and terrifying weapons.
.
For example, Elanthil is researching genetic weapons against demons. Once successfully developed, such weapons can use a wide range of infectious diseases to destroy countless demon troops.
This weapon has been tested on Demon Dogs for a long time, but it has not been fully developed yet.
For another example, the mountain peak that is being prepared for launch...if compared, it is a terrifying existence comparable to hundreds or even thousands of nuclear weapons.
Once that thing is successfully launched, perhaps all the demons in one direction will be completely wiped out, and not even ashes will be left...
Ailan Hill only reduced its conventional troops, and its truly cutting-edge weapons development plans did not slow down the research and development speed at all.
Including individual soldier equipment, heavy weapons, and even new fighter jets, Ailan Hill is constantly stocking up on technology.
There are even laboratories that are researching human genetic improvement. This direction seems a bit advanced. However, because of the existence of magicians, human genetic enhancement is believed by many people and a lot of energy is invested in research.
In short, Ailan Hill is far from being reduced to the point where it is strong outside and weak in the middle. On the contrary, it is gathering greater strength and is preparing to give all its allies and all enemies a big "surprise" when it breaks out next time.
