"These guys are really ruining the atmosphere," Los said with some dissatisfaction.
Lilith whispered, "I will always belong to my master. Now is the time for you to enjoy the worship and respect of everyone."
Los laughed and said, "You know me best."
At this moment, everyone rushed over with immense excitement and admiration.
With a calm smile, Los said, "Alright, now is not the time to be happy. There are still quite a few soldiers over there who have fainted or are injured. Let's clean up the battlefield first!"
"understand!"
At this moment, no one questioned Los's idea, and they immediately began to clear the entire battle line.
The battle was extremely fierce; Major General Pig's army was completely wiped out, and the Third Independent Corps suffered more than 60% casualties.
The remaining soldiers, having just faced such a desperate situation, were almost all filled with despair, their eyes rolled back, and they fainted.
Danny and others were in charge of the post-war cleanup, while Los returned to the city by car under their protection.
11:00 AM.
As vehicles entered the city center from the north side of Peabody Avenue, the entire city center and both sides of the street were filled with people standing on the rooftops.
These people had gathered here from all over the city, eagerly and excitedly awaiting the triumphant return of their great mayor.
After replenishing his energy, Los's bodily functions returned to normal.
Seeing these enthusiastic citizens, Los calmly stepped out of the car amidst the crowd, raised his hand, and loudly proclaimed to the people, "I said it, Arkham will live forever!"
"Arkham Forever! Arkham Forever!"
In an instant, shouts like a tsunami resounded throughout the central area, the deafening sound waves rising one after another, filled with everyone's indescribable excitement and pride.
Their mayor is a god descended to earth!
Their mayor will protect Arkham forever!
Such slogans refer not only to the city of Arkham, but also to Los's surname.
At this moment, no one has ever blindly worshipped or trusted anyone as much as they do now.
Los looked around at the citizens, their faces flushed and their expressions fervent, with a smile on his face. This was his core objective: to completely concentrate the will of all the people on himself and make himself the absolute ruler of Arkham.
And now, everything he envisioned has come true.
"From now on, this will be Arkham, which belongs only to me!" Los was filled with pride.
Chapter 0159 Fully Automated One-Stop Service
September 18, 1930, Monday, sunny.
Two days have passed since that dreamlike "Descent of the Gods Day," and people's enthusiasm seems to have completely dissipated. The people of Arkham have returned to their normal lives and work, as if everything that happened in the past week has nothing to do with them.
As for what exactly happened on September 16th, no one is willing to mention it again. They all regard it as the most hidden secret in their hearts, enshrining and treasuring it in the deepest part of their memories.
Although the disaster was considered over in Arkham, it was only the beginning for the province of Massa.
Innsmouth, as a port city, is not large in scale, but its permanent population is only about fifty or sixty thousand.
Aside from those who died or were sacrificed, conservative estimates suggest that at least 30,000 people were transformed into those bizarre and terrifying monsters.
As they advanced on their artificial ancient gods, they followed the various streams of the Miskatonic River and entered the entire province of Massa.
In less than two days, the number of reported monster attacks in the entire province of Massa has exceeded five thousand, resulting in at least three thousand deaths.
The events that occurred in those two days outnumbered all the events that occurred in the previous twenty years of the province of Massa!
For a time, the terrifying fish monsters hiding in the swamps and rivers became the nightmare of the entire Massa province, and even the provincial capital suffered no less than a hundred attacks.
However, what really gave those people a headache was not just the fish monster, but also the rumors that spread along with it.
"These fish monsters are all failed products of the Imperial Department's secret experiments."
"All the fish monsters are humans who have been modified by the Imperial Court."
"The Imperial Army deliberately caused this leak in order to test the lethality of their new biological weapon."
If it were just a rumor, it wouldn't be enough to give the entire Massa military a headache.
Along with these rumors came the fish monsters' frenzied attacks and the fact that the killed fish monsters turned back into humans.
And the various reports that have spread widely in the past two days.
"The military has secretly sealed off Arkham, seemingly conducting a secret experiment."
"Major General Pig's army secretly bombed Innsmouth and massacred all civilians in order to destroy evidence of their experiments in Innsmouth."
Along with these reports came various bloody and horrific photos, as well as completely truthful accounts.
It also includes firsthand accounts from businessmen returning from Arkham, the personal experiences of wounded soldiers, and the true stories of the mayor of Arkham, Los Arkham, and the city manager, Daryl Klockam!
In just two days, a massive media storm and public anger pointed the finger at the Imperial Court.
The situation in Massa Province quickly spread to neighboring provinces, and soon the entire northeastern part of the empire was filled with complaints and public resentment.
The overwhelming public opinion was heading straight for the empire's central command.
More than 200,000 people went on strike and marched, targeting the military.
Her Majesty then forcefully convened a press conference, stating that she would thoroughly investigate the entire incident.
The two senators then convened a meeting to begin discussions.
Because the incident escalated to such a great extent, the collective strike paralyzed daily life in the entire capital city, and even led to large-scale looting, vandalism, and arson.
It's important to understand that in this early stage of development where transportation and communication are still in their infancy, such an incident could be extremely fatal.
Therefore, the two houses of parliament discuss and make decisions very quickly.
General Eisen, the highest-ranking commander of the entire military, has been temporarily suspended from his post, and all research work within the military has been halted.
Her Majesty the Queen is personally overseeing the investigation and will travel to Arkham in three days to conduct her investigation and gather evidence on the dangerous front lines.
A series of consecutive actions, coupled with the army's forceful entry into the city, finally quelled the unrest in the capital.
At this very moment, all eyes of the empire turned to Arkham, that backward, remote, mysterious, and ancient town.
Innsmouth has now been completely leveled, and this is not fiction, but the reality as determined by the investigations of countless detectives, mercenaries, and even assassins.
The large number of monster corpses and civilian skeletons left there fully demonstrate that extremely horrific and inhumane things had been done.
While this massive storm was still brewing, Arkham, at the heart of the event, continued with its daily life.
In the early morning, bright sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, and Los stretched comfortably.
When she looked up slightly, she saw a quiet and elegant beauty lying on her chest.
Looking around, her jet-black hair cascaded down like black silk, and within these strands, soft, full breasts and a firm waist connected to her voluptuous hips, appearing and disappearing in a hazy, indistinct way.
Although glimpses are made through the cracks, obscuring the magnificent original appearance, it possesses a unique charm, like a woman playing the pipa with her face partially hidden.
Thinking back to last night's fully automated all-inclusive service, Los still feels that blissful, dreamlike feeling of being on cloud nine.
"Truly exquisite!" Los thought to himself, his hands starting to wander again.
Under the hazy moonlight last night, her elegant and pure temperament was mixed with her coy and shy demeanor, like a dignified goddess entangled in shyness. This caused Los, a high-level tentacle monster whose entire body was made of brain cells, to instantly lose his composure and degenerate into a low-level creature that thought with his lower body.
Lilith opened her eyes groggily: "Master, what's wrong?"
The fully automatic mode is extremely physically demanding, and even Lilith, who is close to being a demigod, felt somewhat tired.
Completely drained, Los could only move his hands and dared not make any other excessive provocations.
"Get up, there's still a lot to do today."
Afterwards, the two, who were both extremely satisfied, did not waste any more time in bed, but instead washed up and put on makeup with great gusto.
At the breakfast table at 8:30 a.m., Carrington said, "According to Miss Clark's message, Her Majesty the Queen will arrive here in about six days, accompanied by a delegation consisting of members of Parliament, the Imperial Prosecutor's Office, the Free People's Oversight Association, and the police."
"No army?" Lilith was somewhat surprised.
Los laughed and said, "To avoid suspicion, the military can't openly send people over, but secretly, the people they send are much more professional than the Queen."
"They lost a major general, tens of thousands of soldiers were wiped out, and even their 300 super soldiers were all dead. They definitely need to find out what happened here."
After listening, Lilith smiled and said, "It's a pity. The truth they know is probably too much for their minds to bear."
“Perhaps they will also send over some aliens that we have never seen before, who knows?” Los said with anticipation.
Chapter 0160: Everyone slides and cuts open the werewolf's belly
After breakfast, Los and Lilith went straight to the city hall.
The city hall is extremely busy these days, with its main business including interview requests from major newspapers across the empire and the registration of relevant personnel.
In addition, there are issues regarding the redevelopment plans for the East District and the River District, including the relocation of original residents, core planning, future development, and related investment attraction plans.
Although everyone at the city hall was extremely busy, no one complained; on the contrary, they were full of energy.
Because they are working for the great gods, for the bright future of all of Arkham.
"Good morning, Mayor!"
Upon entering the hall, everyone greeted Los with cheerful smiles before returning to their work.
Los liked the busy atmosphere. He nodded slightly and turned to go straight back to his office.
Daryl was already waiting in the office.
“Speak!” Los sat down.
Daryl took out a document and said, "Young master, this is about the expansion plan for the University of Michigan Library. This plan was proposed by Dr. Armitage, who hopes to popularize some knowledge about special creatures to the people of Arkham."
"At the same time, we hope that the entire University of Michigan library will become an open library that can be accessed by all citizens."
Los took the document and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Doctor understands me better than anyone else. I've had the idea for the Library of Extraordinary Knowledge for a long time, but I haven't had time to plan it."
Armitage's eyes quickly scanned the contents of the document. His plan was to separate the University of Michigan library in its original location, rebuild it, and assign guards to it.
In addition, we hope to collaborate with the Arkham City Library to complement each other's content and expand the library's reach to cover the entire city of Arkham.
"This plan is excellent, it's approved." Los signed it readily.
Daryl said, "Young master, this renovation project will cost approximately 500,000 Rosa coins."
Los waved his hand slightly: "These two libraries are very important and cannot be made with ordinary materials. You should start by purchasing external materials. As for internal materials, I will have Murcy prepare them later."
"understand!"
