I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

He could accept the conditions of the Holy Trinity and escape the shackles brought to him by the alliance, but his people would have to pay a more painful price for his betrayal.

His family and father did not let him down; they gave him the best resources, the greatest autonomy, and the deepest expectations.

But, he is sorry for his wife, he is a complete failure of a father...

Recalling his childhood, when he would lie on the lawn with his daughter in the afternoons, he seemed to smell the scent of the sun shining on his body again.

The little girl curled up in his arms, his big hands covering her accidentally exposed belly, which was bulging and very soft and cute. The sunlight sprinkled through the leaves, shining on her body, making her look more fragile and full of vitality.

[My wish is to grow up healthy and happy! Dad, what is your wish? ]

【My wish is that you grow up healthy and happy. 】

[Then our wishes are the same! ]

Under the gaze of the nuns, Sok's tall body disappeared bit by bit, as if he had never existed in this world. Until the last moment, he did not look back nor utter a word.

The effect of the evil blade and the logical relationship behind it had been sorted out by the General Staff long ago. Regardless of whether this Holy Trinity was the divine will, it was definitely a miracle.

As long as it is a miracle, it will naturally be restrained by the evil blade that can cut off miracles. The price paid is nothing more than providing the Holy Trinity with a perfect holder.

Rather than using our own people, it is better to use someone like Soke. This can be considered as giving him a chance. After all, not everyone has the means and qualifications to be a dog for the alliance.

Anyway, whether Sok finally accepts reality or not, he will not lose out. Once Sok follows the outcome set by the Chief of Staff, everyone will be happy.

The alliance eliminated the troublesome local forces and him, the time bomb, at the lowest cost. After losing their direct heir and having no offspring, his family was pardoned and able to live a normal life again.

His death would be good for everyone.

Just when the nuns thought that everything was settled, the clear blue sky suddenly glowed with golden light, and even the clouds were dyed golden.

A huge heart slowly emerged from the clouds, and inside the heart was a giant baby growing like amniotic fluid.

The loud heartbeat echoed regularly over the continent, and several thick blood vessels penetrated deep into the clouds, as if He was the Son of Heaven and Earth being born in this world.

In the Holy Light Cathedral at the top of the mountain cemetery in the distance, tens of thousands of skilled craftsmen worked day and night to build a giant goddess statue that had just been completed a few days ago. The stone scepter in the hand suddenly burst into a pillar of light that penetrated the sky and the earth.

With unparalleled force of thunder, it crossed thousands of miles in the blink of an eye, and pierced through the giant heart like a sharp arrow, smashing the giant bred inside into paste. Only then did the strange phenomenon in heaven and earth completely dissipate.

But everyone knows that miracles have not disappeared.

In other words, as long as there are people and various desires, the procession routes of ancient religious worship will be activated again, and sooner or later it will make a comeback.

"What a troublesome ugly thing..."

Mina muttered something under her breath, then felt her little head being patted, and quickly straightened her posture and pretended to be well behaved.

Taiya shook her head as she looked at her. Although no one made any obvious moves, as the youngest sister, everyone tacitly helped her keep the danger out.

It was precisely because she was so well protected that she could not feel the oppressive and threatening aura emanating from these miraculous creations that Mina could focus on evaluating the other party's appearance without any scruples.

Are miracle creations ugly? To be frank, they are really ugly, and basically have nothing to do with human beings.

But they don't rely on external things. So many people who worship and believe in them seek strength and power. This also proves in disguise that as long as you are strong enough, there will naturally be great scholars to debate for you.

No matter what, their Church of Holy Light has firmly established its foothold in this continent. As long as they can spread the light of the goddess to the entire world and let the power of the goddess be deeply imprinted into this world, then no matter what miracles there are, as long as the goddess is there, they will not be able to show up.

At this time in the Alliance Hotel in the Serra capital, the chairman of the World Alliance had basically reached a basic peace agreement with the Demon Princess and representatives of the three countries.

After all, the demons did suffer a huge loss in normal trade for no reason, and it is reasonable for the Joint Council to give the other party the proper diplomatic attitude.

This kind of shady trade cannot be allowed to happen. Once trust is broken, it will be extremely difficult to repair, and it will also destroy the possibility of normal trade between the two parties.

However, the progress between the two sides will not temporarily affect the Demon Empire, which is tens of thousands of miles away. A country is just a collection of wills, and it is difficult to completely restrain everyone.

Even though Philena is the only legitimate princess of the Three Kingdoms royal family and is regarded as a treasure by the people, her voice is not unlimited.

Actually, there were some, but the demons quickly advanced and occupied resources in the territories of Malberg and Seste in the early stage and gained huge benefits.

All kinds of industrial machine tools and heavy machinery equipment aided by the alliance or purchased by the country itself were previously strictly prohibited from export and would not be sold at any price. But now they were laid out nakedly in front of them for them to take.

Use it if you want, do whatever you want. Isn't this just a temptation for them to make mistakes?

Chapter 463: The Crotch Hidden Bomb

The natural environment in the demon clan's territory is extremely harsh, but thanks to the war between gods, the enrichment of various mineral resources underground is astonishingly high, which is why they can take over about 30% of the world's resources.

Whether it is basic mining, transportation, refining, or fine processing or rough processing sales of minerals, there is a strong demand for various industrial equipment and machine tools.

After all, human power can never compete with machinery, and the research and development of new engineering equipment always relies on industry.

Compared to spending a lot of money and begging for help, and watching the other party bossing them around and giving them a cold shoulder, it is obviously more satisfying to buy for free.

Not paying is like making money, and there is no need to feel bad. Just live your life as usual in the village, and use the unimportant equipment at full capacity to produce the materials they need.

In a word, just stand up and kick!

The important thing is to dismantle it and transport it back home like crazy, with the main purpose being that the thieves will not leave empty-handed.

Money can move people's hearts, and huge profits have driven some of the nobles within the demon clan who have gained benefits to desperately instill all kinds of slander to the demon kings. After all, the other party was wrong first, and many of their statements seem to have some basis.

Therefore, before the demon representatives far away in the sky could bring back a friendly treaty between the two sides, the demon army on the front line once again launched a fierce offensive after resting and replenishing.

No one can deny that when you start a war and are able to win, it is indeed the only way for your side to gain huge short-term benefits.

Because it is impossible to produce faster and at a lower cost than robbing.

Using other people's materials to produce your own goods and then selling them, what kind of cost pressure can there be? Using criminal slaves as workers to produce goods, let alone pay them, can even provide the most basic materials needed for survival at a minimum.

The cost is so low that it can be basically ignored, which means that as long as the products can be sold, it is pure profit. Naturally, there will be a large number of beneficiaries who will actively push for the expansion of the scale of the war in order to obtain greater benefits.

But the premise of all this is that you must win.

Compared to the demon soldiers who have extremely strong physical fitness and can be said to be Schwarzenegger per capita, the Malburg people, most of whom are ordinary people, are indeed very weak.

They have poor magical talent and poor geographical conditions. In other words, they are neither good at martial arts nor good at fighting. The only advantage they can grasp is to reproduce desperately, and then find ways to run away to start small businesses and survive in other regions or other countries.

The Malburg merchants account for a considerable proportion of world trade, but apart from money they have no other advantages. If it were not for the emergence of the alliance, they would never have the opportunity to establish an independent country.

Although the organized Malberg soldiers on the front battlefield were basically all crippled.

But when the demon army broke through the Malberg Mother River defense line and entered the transportation hub of Mutivl State, they suddenly encountered unprecedented stubborn resistance.

The demons naturally didn't understand what it meant to surround an enemy without a gap. Under this replica of the Three Alls Policy, everything, including the population, was a resource that could be seized. In desperation, this method of warfare that could be described as a plan to wipe out the entire clan naturally aroused the Malberg people's strong resistance mentality.

They don't have the magical talents and goblin tanks that the demons are proud of, nor the heavy mechas and overwhelming naval and air forces of the Seres.

The only weapons they had available and could rely on were the old-fashioned weapons provided by the Alliance in its early years, the LB-11 rifles and grenades.

LB-11 bolt-action rifle

The total length of the gun is 1250mm, the barrel length is 740mm, the empty gun weighs 5kg, it has 7.92 standard metal bullets, a rear-pull rotating bolt, and a built-in double-row magazine.

This old-fashioned bolt-action rifle has been around for more than a hundred years since the first batch rolled off the production line, and is truly a century-old famous gun.

As the alliance expanded, technology was fully decentralized to various countries. There were countless improved derivative models, and the total production volume was an astronomical figure that could not be estimated.

Its fundamental advantages are sufficient power, high accuracy, extremely low manufacturing difficulty, almost no material requirements, simple maintenance, and it is not picky about the battlefield environment. When equipped with a PU3.5 scope, it becomes a sniper rifle, and the double-row 5-5 10-round magazine is also sufficient.

The production of ammunition was not a problem at all for the Malburgers.

To put it bluntly, the current LB-11 has the foundation for large-scale arming of the entire population, and the people of Malburg have indeed done so. Anyone over the age of 15 is equipped with one gun and two magazines.

Children under 15 and above 9 years old with independent consciousness are all issued an improved and shortened version of the LB-11mini.

It is said to be an improved model, but in fact it is a shortened version made by utilizing waste from secondary processing of non-compliant gun barrels. Under the rapid and purposeful advancement of the demons, many of their resource areas have fallen, and resources have naturally become tight.

The crippling of the regular army did not reduce the pressure on the demon soldiers, but instead made them even more nervous.

Under the counterattack of all the people of Malburg, who were able to walk or just able to walk, the offensive of the demons was significantly hindered.

They also encountered the same problem that other countries had encountered when facing the Alliance before, that is, no matter how good the damage exchange ratio was, their reserve replenishment speed was far slower than that of the Malberg soldiers.

Traditional classical soldiers have a lot to learn. After all, this is a magical world, and magic soldiers are the mainstream elite combat force.

Population is not a problem, but the number of magicians of the right age is a problem. Talent is something that you either have or you don't have, and it has little to do with the population base.

The only unit that doesn't need magicians very much is the tank unit, and that unit doesn't need too many ordinary people.

What makes tank soldiers expensive is not the labor cost but the tank equipment itself. There are not enough qualified tank maintenance and logistics personnel, which further limits the scale of tank operations.

And a magician needs at least 18 years of growth cycle to meet the requirements for joining the army.

But the situation in Malberg is completely different.

A musketeer still needs a three-month training cycle, but if a rifle soldier is trained quickly, he can be trained in two days. If you don't care about the cost, it won't even take half a day to train a consumable soldier who can only shoot, reload and aim.

Even if eight or ten 7.62 bullets were fired at the same time, they would not be able to penetrate the defense of the demon machine in a short time. A demon pilot could easily kill a hundred people as long as he rushed into the army formation.

Compared with the tanks imitated by the goblins, the LB-11 is a pure toy, unable to penetrate even the weakest back armor.

But other ordinary soldiers except for the demon machines and tanks suffered. No matter how strong you are like Schwarzenegger, and how safe you are wearing magic armor, you can't withstand the all-encompassing sneak attacks of 7.62 bullets that can be fired at any time and anywhere.

It is truly omnipresent on the physical level. The 3.5x zoom PU scope sniper makes the demon soldiers dare not even urinate or defecate anywhere, and there are more than one or two unlucky guys who have their good brothers shot to death.

Moreover, even the toilets are not safe. When squatting in the toilet, a bayonet or even a bullet can be stabbed from below at the most vulnerable moment. The pain is enough to make the audience clench their buttocks just by hearing it.

Although the damage is not high, it is extremely insulting. Often when a single demon is hit, all the demon soldiers in the entire area will be in a panic.

After spending so much effort searching and arresting, what they can usually catch are only one or two less agile teenagers.

Although the demons tried to intimidate other Malburg people who were secretly observing by using cruel torture in broad daylight, such behavior further intensified the national sentiment of the Malburg people.

In the beginning, they were able to persuade and convert a group of Malberg people, but as time went on, there were more and more diehards, and even the occupied areas that had already been conquered were no longer safe. All the soldiers of the Demon Empire were on high alert when going out and paid close attention to the people around them.

Because they didn't know whether the beggar from Malburg lying on the roadside waiting to die would turn over and reveal a bomb under him, giving them an unforgettable surprise.

They don't even dare to vent their physical desires. The Malburg woman wrapped in a robe can really hide a bomb in her crotch!

Chapter 464 Tiger, a decisive battle weapon?

At Malbork Capital Airport, a B-11 Flying Fortress slowly lowered its nose and began to land on the newly expanded and reinforced runway under the guidance of the tower. Both sides of the runway were filled with cheering airport staff.

The cabin of this transport plane converted from a bomber is filled with the most urgently needed survival supplies in Malburg, such as various scarce medicines, as well as the return seats that the rich people in Malburg need most.

After all, not all Malberg people will live and die with the country. Rich people value their lives more. If they can escape to Seris, they naturally don’t have to worry about being robbed by the demon army.

However, when the Flying Fortress docked at the designated apron and the rear hatch was lowered, the first thing everyone saw was not a wide range of first aid medicines, but a large square thing covered with canvas.

Franz walked down from the transport plane's passenger compartment with a toothpick in his mouth and greeted the airport staff. He nodded to them, took out his and others' identity documents from his bag, and handed them to the Malburg military representative who had hurried over:

"Following the orders of the country, we must return if there is a battle."
