Wizard Immortal

Chapter 485 Going South

On the empty training ground, Lera and the other two were somewhat surprised to see Adir in front of them, as if they hadn't expected Adir to think of these things.

"And doctors."

Before him, Adir remained calm and continued, "If a plague breaks out among millions of refugees, the consequences will be extremely serious, so doctors among them must be selected as soon as possible."

"Although the world has changed and the drugs and technologies invented in the past need to be improved, the most basic principle remains the same: people are still people. Once these doctors adapt, they will be able to play a significant role."

"Of all these, Lera, your task is the most important."

He looked at Lera in front of him and slowly began to speak: "You have a knightly order of five hundred men under your command. All the knights in the order are people who have descended from your world, and they have all undergone basic knightly training. Their strength is far greater than that of ordinary people."

"If those refugees riot, you will lead the men to suppress it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lera felt a chill run down her spine and lowered her head involuntarily: "I understand!"

Seeing his expression, Adir nodded and then said, "I have already made the arrangements. You will set off tomorrow to negotiate with the refugees in various places."

"As for today, you should all get some rest."

"Yes!" The three nodded to Adir and bowed respectfully before heading down another path, preparing to return to the manor Adir had arranged for them.

Standing there, watching the three figures disappear into the distance, Adir gently shook his head.

As a time traveler from modern society, he was acutely aware of the potential of these refugees.

Even disregarding the inherent qualities and privileges of refugees, they themselves are seeds with immense potential. Given enough time and environment, they will eventually sprout and build a prosperous civilization in this world.

In fact, in this world where elemental particles are abundant and active, they might even be able to discover their existence and eventually utilize them, ultimately giving rise to extraordinary power.

There is actually no boundary between technology and the extraordinary.

However, the world's conditions imposed too many limitations. In a world with scarce elemental particles, extraordinary powers simply could not develop. Eventually, after a long period of time, and with gradual summarization and development, it would eventually evolve into something like what it was like in the first Adir.

In a world abundant with elemental particles, driven by the world's consciousness, the extraordinary system develops early on, eventually suppressing scientific development. As a result, over a long period of time, science not only fails to make much progress but also degenerates under the suppression of war and extraordinary power.

Just like the world before us, what good will it do once the ancient king is resurrected, even if modern civilization develops?

A level four being, with a single move, could shatter the earth and tear apart the sea. Before such a being, technology, unless advanced to a certain level, is simply no match.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Adir's figure gradually blurred and slowly disappeared from the spot.

····················

Several days later, in the southern part of Elka State, in the capital of the Kingdom of Kalangu, a terrifying anomaly rapidly unfolded.

It was a cloudy day, with dark clouds covering the sky, making the whole climate feel cool and gloomy, with not a ray of sunshine in sight.

The next moment, a strange phenomenon began to occur. In the air above the city, heat rose, followed by a violent, frenzied, and arrogant aura that gradually rose and covered the entire city in the blink of an eye.

An aura of unparalleled ferocity and bloodline majesty enveloped the entire city, while streaks of sparks flickered in the sky, appearing strange against the overcast backdrop.

"What is that?!"

Below, the people in the city stared in disbelief at the sky, speechless as they watched the scene unfolding there.

A unique light flickered, gathering and rising in the sky, gradually coalescing into a magnificent yet terrifying pattern.

A human-headed serpent god, a demonic being standing on flames, emerged from the radiance. Its body was covered in ferocious scales, yet it possessed a unique beauty. Every inch of its scales and flesh looked so perfect that it irresistibly attracted everyone's attention.

However, after this demon god appeared, an unparalleled, tyrannical majesty spread, enveloping the entire city.

boom!!

A giant crimson fiery hand descended from the sky, slamming into a palace amidst the terrified gazes of countless people, instantly unleashing an extremely violent sound.

Roar! !

In the darkness, people seemed to hear a roar of resentment. In the sight of a few, a strange phenomenon appeared in the distant palace. A giant black serpent condensed above the palace, looking at the giant hand slamming down from the sky and hissing in resentment, struggling with all its might.

However, this resistance was doomed to failure. As the deafening vibrations reverberated across the land, most of the city was wiped out, and the entire palace was completely destroyed by the attack, filled with blood and devoid of any sign of life.

In the city, gazing at the collapsed palace in the distance, the survivors trembled, seemingly still not understanding what had happened.

But at this moment, outside the royal city, the deafening sounds of fighting and shouts resounded, as if a vast army was advancing outside the city, surrounding the entire city.

"The ancient kingdom of Kalan, which has lasted for five hundred years, has come to an end."

As night fell, watching the city gates gradually open and the nobles carrying gifts emerge, Lucius sighed, "It's only been a few days..."

"Yes, it's only been a few days." Soon, who had accompanied Adir on this expedition, spoke up beside Lucius. He looked somewhat dazed, as if he hadn't yet recovered from the shock he was experiencing.

Without any unnecessary frills or the brutality of a battle, a single strike resolved all obstacles, wiping out the royal family of the Kingdom of Kalangu in an instant, as easily as swatting an ant.

This godlike power was truly awe-inspiring and deeply moving.

"This is... the power of the ancient kings..."

As he sighed, he looked behind him, where a young man was sitting, his appearance flawless, showing no trace of the man who had killed tens of thousands of people with a single palm strike.

"This is the third one already."

Gazing quietly at the distant city, Adir murmured to himself.

Within half a month, he led his men to conquer several small countries and rampaged across the southern part of Elka State.

The small countries he defeated were mostly small; the largest of them had a population of only a few million, roughly equivalent to the entire Elka state, and none of them were particularly powerful.

The ancient kingdom of Xilan before us is the strongest among them, possessing a peak level two guardian, which, according to this world's standards, is equivalent to the peak of the sixth rank. Under normal circumstances, this would be enough for them to run rampant, but they are still no match for Adir.

Even though Adir didn't use much power, and didn't even use his own source power, only the bloodline power of this body, it was still considered to be at the peak of level three. It was more than enough to deal with a guardian who was only level two, and he didn't need to exert too much effort.

"It's a pity, if only we could take over such a huge territory."

Standing to the side, in front of Adir, having finalized the terms with the envoy, Lucius held the document in his hand, a look of regret and resentment on his face: "With Your Highness's strength, you are capable of creating another great nation... A mere Elka province is simply not enough."

"There's nothing we can do about it." Looking at the unwillingness on Lucius's face, Adir said calmly, "The southern countries are in a state of chaos, and the languages ​​and customs of the various countries are not mutually intelligible. Even if we conquer them, the difficulty of governing them will be very great. It's better to let these people continue to rule."

"Moreover, even if we want to rule the southern countries, we are not prepared enough. This attack is only for wealth and food."

As he spoke, he looked up into the distance.

In the distant camp, after negotiating the terms with the envoys sent by Adir, the envoys from the distant Kingdom of Kalangu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. However, their expressions were somewhat stiff, and even when they faced Lu Xiu with a smile on their face, it looked like they were only forcing a smile.

That's natural.

Adir arrived outside the capital of the Kingdom of Kalangu. Although he did not forcefully conquer the land, as the price for maintaining their autonomy, the Kingdom of Kalangu suffered heavy losses this time. The various ceded grains and wealth would make it difficult for the country to recover for at least several years.

And this is not the end. According to the agreement, in addition to this year's tribute, the Kingdom of Karagu will need to pay tribute to the State of Elka once every year thereafter.

Under such harsh conditions, no one would be able to laugh at this moment.

However, thanks to these stringent conditions, Adir's objectives for this expedition have been largely achieved. As long as there are no unforeseen circumstances, food and supplies will be continuously supplied from the many small countries in the south to support Adir's next actions.

Thinking of this, Adir quietly stood up from where he stood, gazing into the distance as if looking at someone: "The letter I sent to the Desert Empire, Kaidoz, should have arrived by now. I just don't know what their reaction will be."

"Given the conditions Your Highness has requested, the chances of them agreeing are slim."

Beside him, as if remembering something, Lelouch's expression turned serious: "The Kaidoze Empire is not like these small countries in the south. It is a truly ancient empire inherited from the Desert King. Not only is it historically rich, but its bloodline is also powerful. Even though its power has declined somewhat in recent years due to rebellions, it is still the hegemon of the west."

"These old, powerful empires are unlikely to agree to our conditions."

"Perhaps." Adir remained noncommittal to Lucius's words, simply gazing quietly into the distance.
