Chapter 343 The End of the Conquest

With the escort of these dangerous dragon-shaped species, the dangerous sea areas are finally no longer a problem. These giant dragons originally had to hunt, but now the main hunting place has been changed to this "Golden Waterway", which actually has no impact on them.

If I have to say what the impact is, it is that I have to fly everywhere and fly very far every day, and I can no longer eat and sleep, and eat when I wake up like before.

The house dragons are now forced to become hard-working workers, without any salary, and have to rely on hunting for food on their own. These are not workers at all, they are simply slaves. They have completely lost their freedom and have become slaves serving the emperor.

Moreover, Ke Ling also changed the cloud and fog environment that they liked. Although this is not a necessary living environment for them, it is not a good thing anyway.

However, even with such terrible treatment, the dragons had no choice but to accept it. They were all frightened by Ke Ling.

Under the leadership of Long Kui, they adjusted their shifts and began to adapt to this kind of life. They began to vent their resentment on the dangerous species in the sea, which greatly improved the safety of the waterway.

Think about it from another angle. The job is to hunt dangerous species and find food for yourself. It seems that it is not unacceptable. The dragons can only comfort themselves by thinking this way.

This dragon escort operation once again shocked the people of the Empire.

Now that the empire has unified the entire continent and the eastern islands, the worship of the dragon has been unified. As a result, the dragon has become the sacred beast of the empire and the "Emperor Cult", and has become a very representative symbol of the emperor.

In the Shadow Realm, the only city currently standing, Shadow City, the scientific research atmosphere is quite strong, especially in the field of biotechnology, where the largest number of people are doing research.

There is no other way. Research in this area directly encompasses advanced experiences from all over the world. There are so many paths to take and so many projects to research, so naturally everyone turns their attention to biotechnology.

Unlike other aspects, the technological level of other worlds cannot be compared with "Cyberpunk 2077", and it is difficult to achieve any major results even if we continue to study it.

Moreover, the scientists in the world of "Cyberpunk 2077" are conducting research non-stop. Instead of having more people like them, it would be better to just study these new projects honestly.

Ke Ling asked Long Kui to get a lot of materials, such as dragon scales, dragon whiskers, dragon blood, etc., all of which were used as research materials.

In addition, a large number of dangerous species are being hunted, including many dangerous species hunted in the sea. There is no shortage of research materials in the laboratories now, so it depends on what results can be produced.

All of the Royal Fist Temple's applications regarding dangerous species have also been collected in the "Shadow Realm". Apart from having to endure a little more hardship, this application method of the Royal Fist Temple actually has no side effects. It is at least better than the potions used by the Imperial Assassination Force.

This method of directly consuming dangerous species-related derivatives for a long time and then causing changes in the body is very worthy of study.

Maybe we can research more applicable dangerous species derivatives, so that more dangerous species materials can be utilized instead of only being used to create imperial tools.

Ma Tou and Suzuka from the Imperial Fist Temple have now become combat nuns of the "Emperor's Church". The Imperial Fist Temple, which has existed for a long time, has now been directly banned by the imperial authorities.

This is inevitable. This kind of force that can train subordinates who can rival the Imperial Equipment Users will certainly not be allowed to continue to exist.

The personnel of the Royal Fist Temple were either recruited as combat nuns or incorporated into the Assassin's Court, and were basically divided according to gender.

The training methods of the Royal Fist Temple were dispersed among military organizations such as the military, the Assassin's Court, and the Battle Sisters.

All subordinates who have talent and faith can be selected for intensive training. This can be considered a most basic reward. It is certainly not comparable to "ascension", but it is enough to make people excited.

After Ke Ling dealt with these trivial matters, news soon came from the south that Esdeath had led her men to sweep across the entire South Seas, the glory of the empire illuminated the southern islands, and the missionaries of the "Emperor's Church" had begun to preach.

The countries in the southern islands are even more backward, and many of them still have tribal slavery. However, the southern islands are rich in resources. Otherwise, the people of Japan would not always want to do business in the southern islands. They can exchange cheap goods for a lot of wealth.

Under Esdeath's conquest, the natives of these island countries surrendered one after another. There was no other way. Those who were unwilling to surrender and dared to resist were all killed by Esdeath.

Esdeath felt no guilt at all for killing these natives. These native chiefs were barbaric, cruel, and bloody. Even Esdeath found their rule unacceptable. It could be said that this was the most just episode in which Esdeath killed.

The empire's conquest brought civilization, the glory of the emperor, and the rule of the empire to ordinary people in these southern islands. The spread of the "Emperor's Religion" saved them from oppression.

From now on, they are no longer slaves of the chieftain, but full-fledged citizens of the empire. Of course, they will definitely need time to get used to it, and the empire will slowly educate them.

Compared with the Japanese islands which are connected to the central continent by only one official road, transportation to the South Sea islands is obviously more convenient.

There are also dangerous species in the South China Sea, but not as many as in the East China Sea. Therefore, the chance of encountering an accident while sailing on the sea is very small. Personal ships can pass through freely, and safety is not at the same level at all.

"The dangerous species in the South Sea mostly live deep in the sea. They rarely come to the surface. This is why the South Sea route is safer than the Japanese route. It is also why there is no unified official road to the South Sea and why there are occasional dragons swimming around the official road."

On the southern coast of the empire, a large number of shipping companies have emerged, all of which are specialized in the South China Sea route. Every day they have to explain to passengers why there is no Shenlong escort in the South China Sea and no unified national official shipping route.

The shipping company not only has tourist sightseeing ships, but also immigration ships. The empire encourages immigration. The population of the South Pacific islands is not large, so it is a good thing to have more immigrants to explore and develop.

Of course, going to the South Seas is only one option for these ships. More ambitious ships will make a big detour to go to the Japanese islands. This is a real detour and is much more troublesome than going directly to the Japanese islands.

But this did not stop the imperial people's enthusiasm for exploration, and a large number of tourists set out to Southeast Asia and Japan every day.

In the empire that has a lot of work to do, there are still many frustrated people. It is a good choice for them to immigrate to the outside of the Central Continent and start their struggle again in the new territory of the empire.

The population on the mainland has always been saturated, and now there are finally new opportunities. A large number of people who want to find opportunities will naturally choose to immigrate, and the South Seas are quickly filled with imperial people. And Ke Ling was not idle either. He then began to explore the unknown seas and took Long Kui with him to go deep into other mysterious seas.

Just as expected at the beginning, there are obviously giant dragons lurking in these places, and these clouds are all produced by "dragon crystal".

Ke Ling punched and kicked all the way, quickly lighting up the new map. The sea area between the western kingdom and the eastern island country was lit up. This sea area was wider and there were more dragons in it. This time, at least fifty or sixty dragons had to be subdued.

And in this sea area, a new piece of land also appeared, a land that was about half the size of the central continent where the empire was located.

"New World!"

When this news was passed back to the empire, it immediately made the front page of the newspaper, attracting the attention of the people in the empire.

A new continent might bring new enemies, so Esdeath immediately asked Ke Ling to take charge. It was her duty to conquer the new continent!
"The countries in the New World are not much better than the islands in the South Seas."

In response to Esdeath's initiative to volunteer, Ke Ling reminded her that this new continent was isolated from the world, like a larger island country, and its level of development was not much better than that of the South Pacific Islands. It would be easily defeated by the imperial army.

"Then I should go. I have experience in handling this matter."

Esdeath did not care about the enemy's weak strength. She seemed very rational and what she said made sense. She did have experience in how to slaughter these indigenous chiefs, and this time she would do better than last time.

"alright."

Ke Ling nodded. Only she would rush to do such a thing. Others might not be willing to go on an expedition to such a far new continent. It would probably take many days to get there by boat.

Esdeath soon set off with her men, and under the escort of several giant dragons, they easily passed through the Silent Sea. This vast sea area was previously called the Silent Sea by the Western Kingdom. Now that the continent is unified, the Empire has adopted this term.

The people of the Empire are actually very concerned about the New World. Because of the wave of immigration from Southeast Asia, the people of the Empire are not averse to going out and exploring the new world. After all, there are too many people on the Central Continent.

Although it is hard to be a pioneer in the New World, it is better than struggling to make a living in the central continent of the empire.

Although the Imperial Executive Council has been working hard to develop, the new empire composed of the Empire, the Western Kingdom, the Maurya Kingdom and various ethnic groups is indeed in a state of population explosion.

In this regard, the complete abolition of slavery has also made great contributions. Too many slaves who were not considered human beings have now become human beings.

The competitive pressure on the central continent due to the population explosion is too great, which is why the "immigration wave" can be formed in a short period of time. Everyone wants to go to a place with less competitive pressure.

However, for Ke Ling, these are not his business. The conquest, governance, missionary work and immigration of the "New World" only need to be carried out step by step. With absolute control of force, there is no possibility of division or independence in the entire empire. The imperial government and the Imperial Church suppress everything.

As a real hands-off boss, what Ke Ling has to do is to supervise, understand the people's sentiments when he has nothing to do, see if there are any unreasonable systems, and then conduct a self-examination within the government team to see if anyone has betrayed the revolution. Being able to do all these things is enough for him.

"It's about time to leave."

After arranging everything and seeing the empire running on the right track, Ke Ling made the decision that it was time to start a new journey. The conquest of this world had come to an end.

Of course, before leaving this world, Ke Ling did not forget about the imperial instruments. All the imperial instruments with magical effects were collected together. As for some imperial instruments that Ke Ling really didn't think highly of, they naturally became gifts and were given to others to use.

For example, [Moonlight Dance·Wind Blade Sword], Ke Ling simply did not retrieve this imperial weapon, but gave it to Akahima to continue using. In Akahima's hands, this imperial weapon might still be of some use, but in Ke Ling's hands, it is really useless.

The fact that Akame was able to keep the [Moonlight Dance·Wind Blade Sword] once again shocked Kurome. Everyone handed in their imperial weapons, but Akame was the only one who kept it. How could she say this wasn't special treatment?!

To outsiders, General Bud and Esdeath seemed to have retained their Teigu. However, Hei Tong understood that Bud did not rely on the power of the Teigu, and Esdeath's Teigu was rather special. In fact, the only one who truly retained the Teigu was her sister!

"No, Najta also kept the Teigu."

In this regard, Akahime gave an example seriously. Nadezhda, the Prime Minister of the Imperial Executive Council and her former boss, also retained the Imperial Tool [Lightning Bolt: Susanoo]. This is actually a fact, and Akahime is not making things up.

"That's different! Susanoo is a companion with his own personality. It's a stretch to call him an imperial weapon. It's completely different from [Moonlight Dance: Wind Blade Sword]."

Hei Tong shook her head. She did not agree with this statement because she did not think that [Lightning Flash·Susanoo] could be considered an imperial weapon. The imperial weapon itself was clearly more like an imperial weapon user.

[Lightning Flash Susanoo] is a biological imperial weapon, a humanoid guardian imperial weapon. Its main body is an adult male who can speak and communicate, and has his own distinct personality. It is indeed not like a simple object.

Just as Hei Tong said, the reason why this imperial weapon Nadezhda was able to be preserved was because [Lightning Flash Susanoo] was a life with its own personality. Ke Ling did not directly take the life of this imperial weapon, but let it continue to survive. This is actually a good research subject.

"So, Mr. Devil is indeed special to me."

Akame nodded and admitted it. She also felt it herself, which made her a little overwhelmed. But what she didn't know was that Ke Ling also had a special feeling towards Tatsumi. If she knew this, she might be even more overwhelmed.

“There’s nothing wrong with that.”

Hei Tong pursed her lips and sighed slightly in her heart. She also wanted to be the one who would be treated specially by Lord Ke Ling!
