I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

The beast-like Eric still wanted to fight the opponent in close combat, so he took Ladak and flew outside the holy land and spread his wings. Countless red thunders kept striking him and directly electrocuted him seriously. A large number of cold-blooded people followed his call and swarmed to besiege him.

By the time Su Chen managed to pull himself out of the wall, everything was settled. He could only drag Eric away and escape.

Eric was seriously injured and Su Chen's condition was not much better. His gorgeous armor was full of cracks and gaps.

If it weren't for the repulsion between the two forces that greatly weakened the effectiveness of Ladakh's attack, and if Eric hadn't been struck by a group of lightning, Su Chen would have been electrocuted to ashes on the spot.

"That's not right! Aren't all villains just experience packs for the protagonist? How come this Batangel is so strong? He almost got killed by Eric."

[The protagonist will win in the end, but it is not certain when or how he wins. For example, if the villain dies of old age but the protagonist survives, then the protagonist also wins.]

The system was a little speechless. If it was so easy to get rewards, why would it look for a host?

Of course, what he didn't say was that Eric's miserable state was also largely related to Su Chen's existence. With Su Chen around, everything went too smoothly. In fact, temporary difficulties are not necessarily a bad thing. Without the baptism of suffering, Eric is much weaker than he was in the original timeline.

Eric was seriously injured this time. When Su Chen brought him back to the base and found Annabell, he was breathing more than he was breathing.

Annabelle carefully examined Eric's half-charred body and shook her head:

"I can't cure him either, I can only keep him alive for now. Brother Su Chen, you need to take him to the underground, where there are relics from the abyss, and my sister, Dark Priest Katarina. Find her, she has a way to cure Eric."

According to Annabelle's popular science introduction, the underground and the abyss correspond to the starry world above the human world and the sanctuary, and the new star Alaris was once the belief of the cult.

Scientists in the past discovered the existence of the astral world and conducted a lot of research. People generally believe that the power of the astral world is mysterious and sacred, and weapons and magic made from stardust in the astral world are very powerful.

They also believe that moonlight is a manifestation of the power of the astral world, and the cult believes that the higher altitude cloud land is closest to the starry sky and is most likely to receive the rewards and blessings of the astral world, so the sanctuary was built. In the sanctuary, people can be baptized by light, hear the whispers of the gods, and gain true knowledge of the universe.

The further away from the sky and closer to the ground, the more likely they are to be infected by filth and transformed into cold-blooded people or beastly humans and killed by the church.

From this, people can divide the world into three parts: the holy land representing power, the human world of believers, the untouchable slaves, and the underground where pagans live.

Eric's current energy properties will naturally be stronger the closer they are to the underground world, and it would be even better if he could absorb some underworld cores.

Su Chen looked at Annabell deeply, and she looked at him with a pair of innocent big eyes. Her eyes were as clear as a crystal clear lake, and her hot figure was revealed by her simple work clothes.

With an angelic face and a devilish figure, she is a top-level pure and lustful beauty on earth. It is very normal for Su Chen to have a good impression of her.

But he is lustful, but not stupid. Again, she knows too much.

However, Su Chen also had his own ideas. He was going underground anyway.

Because until now they still haven't figured out where the darkness came from, and why the closer they are to the underground, the easier it is to become cold-blooded. The most likely possibility is that the darkness comes from the abyss.

Those who are close to the heavens will hear divine whispers, but what about those who are close to the underground?

Su Chen packed his bags and took the map provided by Annabell and headed towards the underground of Mi City under the holy land. He did not find a sealed stone door at the bottom. This stone door was the last barrier between the human world and the underground world.

A giant guard wearing an iron helmet and full body armor, more than four meters tall and holding a lamppost, stood at the end of the passage. His heavy breathing could be clearly heard by Su Chen even from more than ten meters away.

Su Chen pulled the corner of his mouth: "Damn, why are they all so big? If they were smaller, they would die. Don't you know that concentration is the essence?"

It's really annoying to fight this big guy. He keeps making a fuss for a long time but then gets knocked to the ground with one punch. He can't die but he looks extremely miserable.

In fact, the one on the opposite side is already of average size, about the same size as the Alliance mecha.

"Forget it, if it's a blessing, it's not a disaster, and if it's a disaster, it can't

At the same time, the Alliance's support fleet replenished supplies from the ports of countries around the coastline and finally arrived at the La Broa Inland Sea, which is closest to Malburg. With the strength of the Alliance Navy squadron, the combat radius of the aircraft carrier fleet can already cover the forward defense line of Malburg and Seest.

However, the support fleet currently has only one main conventional aircraft carrier, and the carrier-based aircraft will temporarily provide single-line support to the most urgent area of ​​Leiden, while the Mutivl front in Malburg will be handed over to the helicopter fleet that was prepared in advance and transported by transport ships for rescue.

The helicopter fleet's full name is the Marine Corps Aviation Regiment. It has two squadrons of V-24 general-purpose helicopters, one squadron of Challenger armed helicopters and one reconnaissance and command maintenance squadron, totaling about 30 helicopters of various types.

V-24, whose previous name was Mi-24 Hind, was known as the flying tank.

The original design intention was to provide soldiers with rapid air mobility capabilities while also having ground strike firepower.

It is 21.6 meters long, 4.1 meters high, and has a maximum take-off weight of 14 tons.

Under its fuselage is a 12.7mm four-barrel air-cooled rotary machine gun with 21000 rounds of ammunition and can fire 5000 rounds per minute.

There are two rocket bays on each side under the wing, which can carry 8 rockets, totaling 32 rockets.

If missile racks are not installed, five additional sets of micro rocket launchers can be installed on the wings and belly. One launcher can hold 5 micro anti-personnel fragmentation rockets, and five launchers can hold 12 rockets.

At the same time, it can carry up to 12 soldiers for rapid assaults on the battlefield. This crazy firepower configuration is also the main reason why it dares to be called a flying tank.

The large number of active goblin tanks on the Malburg battlefield are the best targets for the Hind helicopters.

However, at this time, the Alliance Staff has not yet issued the final attack order to the aircraft carrier, because they currently have one most important thing that has not been determined, which is what the current situation of the Goblin Kingdom is.

In the past, the Alliance extended an olive branch to the goblins who were cultivating their own territory, but the Goblin Kingdom did not agree and chose to reject it instead. The Alliance does not care about the big family that is unwilling to join the Alliance.

The alliance is even somewhat happy about this. After all, if the alliance plays within a system, it has to consider the feelings of other allied countries and cannot simply make money by taking advantage of the technological gap.

But this doesn't matter to countries outside the alliance partners. Even after knowing that the goblins themselves are also climbing the industrial tree, the Alliance has been suppressing the goblin kingdom intentionally or unintentionally.

For example, medium and high-precision machine tools have magic arrays integrated with the machine tools that send positioning information to companies within the alliance on a daily basis. It is strictly forbidden to be smuggled out to countries outside the system such as the goblins and demons.

They can only get the lowest grade machine tools.

Of course, this avenue is not completely blocked. In fact, selling mid-range machine tools to them is nothing. After all, civilian mid-range machine tools are just production equipment. The so-called ban of the alliance is actually to significantly increase the selling price of mid-range machine tools on the black market through official background checks.

There are not so many black market merchants with all kinds of means in the world. To put it bluntly, the big bosses are still the Alliance itself playing role-playing games. They use shell companies to produce the products and sell them to them at high prices on the black market. All the allied countries are reaping the benefits, and everyone knows it tacitly.

Even the demons have reaped huge profits from this circulation system, because the goblins are at the lowest level in the alliance's national rating, and even the import of low-end industrial equipment is greatly restricted.

The reason is simple: the goblins are not very clean and have been involved in opium.

It is well known that the alliance's crackdown on Du is very severe, even cruel. Du is also the only illegal act for which the alliance takes severe punishment.

There were at least eighty villages that were massacred by the Alliance because they thought that the drug addicts were not subject to the law. The bloody heads were used to tell the Alliance citizens that they would die if they inhaled this stuff.

However, due to the alliance's strict prohibition and the alliance's promotion of drug prohibition throughout the joint organization, the price of opium products has skyrocketed under extremely high risks, and is more valuable than the same amount of gold.

The Alliance's full-area sanctions put tremendous pressure on the goblin finances. Without good equipment and insufficient progress in self-developed machine tools, they could only import high-priced products. The financial gap naturally made the goblins take a fancy to the opium trade.

According to the Alliance Intelligence Organization's tracing investigation, 70% of opium exports ultimately originated from the Goblin Kingdom.

At the beginning of the establishment of the joint organization, the Alliance promised all countries that in the early stage when countries did not use nuclear weapons first, the Alliance would never use nuclear weapons to attack and would not take the initiative to declare war on other countries.

Each country does not have nuclear weapons, and it is even less likely that they will take the initiative to declare war on the alliance, so this commitment is equivalent to the alliance not using nuclear weapons and will not take the initiative to use force.

But this promise has a prerequisite, which is that it does not violate the Red Code principles set by the alliance itself.

[Any attempt to traffic in human beings, trafficking in psychotropic drugs, trafficking in human organs will result in the immediate death penalty for any citizen, and other countries will automatically become hostile, including but not limited to declaration of war, economic sanctions, and use of force to stop.]

As long as a country meets any of the above three conditions, the commitment will be automatically invalidated. Defending the dignity of life of all ethnic groups is the foundation for the existence of international organizations.

If the goblins are proven to have committed the above crime during the investigation, then with the current global power of the United Organization, there is no doubt that the goblins will be isolated from the world and have no place to stand anymore.

Chapter 478 She is the Strong One, Not You (Water)

The basis for the existence of the joint organization in the beginning came from the alliance's powerful military force, and the strong had absolute say.

The source of its existence comes from force, but what it can rely on for its existence is the various assistances the alliance provides to various countries and the grand blueprint it describes for the future, which is more in line with the common interests of all living beings.

When the general public generally votes with their feet, no matter what ideas the top leaders of various countries have, they can only be suppressed by the dual constraints of power and prestige.

This is the positive impact of post-war aid reconstruction at work.

As long as the alliance does not commit suicide and maintains the image of fighting for the common interests of all living beings, coupled with the acceleration of library actions, it will be equivalent to building a spiritual Great Wall on the spiritual level with established impressions and book soft culture.

Using this spiritual Great Wall as a staging point for attack and outputting everything the alliance needs to the outside world will be beneficial to the output of the alliance's own consciousness.

The best way to prevent it is to keep it at a distance, just like opium, which is expressly prohibited by the Alliance's Red Ban. The Alliance can use its influence to make countries introduce anti-opium bills one after another and follow the Alliance's pace to carry out drug prohibition actions.

Therefore, in combating drug trafficking, human trafficking, illegal organ trafficking and other issues involving the basic life rights and interests of the general public, the alliance can not only increase its reputation and win the hearts of the people, but also achieve other goals. Naturally, it has very sufficient reasons to use force.

Aren’t these excuses much better than suspecting that the other side has weapons of mass destruction?

At the same time, such actions of the army of justice that meet the public's psychological expectations can also give psychological comfort to politicians from various countries. At least as long as they don't commit suicide, the alliance will generally abide by the rules.

If possible, no one and no country would want to have a wild father lying over their heads. If this result cannot be changed, then one can only pray that the wild father's temper will be better, and he will not open his bloody mouth and bite to death any unlucky person for no reason.

While the support fleet was still on the way, several investigation teams composed of multiple countries had already sneaked into the territories of the Goblin Kingdom and the Three Demon Kingdoms in various ways to conduct investigations.

What the support fleet is waiting for is the final investigation report provided by the joint organization. The final report they issue will directly determine whether this battlefield will only provide necessary and limited military support, or will be completely launched.

If it's the former they can complete the task themselves.

If it is the latter, then the 3+2 main configuration of battleships and aircraft carriers donated free of charge by the Alliance, which is on the way, and the fleet strike group named the First Fleet of the International Joint Organization will penetrate deep into the Demon coastline and launch devastating attacks on the port cities along the way after replenishment.

There was almost no need to investigate the Goblin Kingdom, because the climatic conditions in about half of the territory were not suitable for the growth of such plants. Only the territory he occupied in the rear during the Seven Kingdoms' fight against the Alliance had a suitable climate.

So at the beginning, the investigation team headed towards these places, and the goblin kingdom did not cover up the cultivation of these evil plants. Anyway, your joint organization defined it as illegal and I didn't join it, so it's none of my business whether it is illegal or not.

So when the investigation team spent some money at the border post of Sastihar and the Goblin Kingdom to enter the kingdom, all they saw was a sea of ​​pink and crimson sinful flowers everywhere.

In fact, these plants are already very common on the border of Sastihar. Before the investigation team entered the Goblin Kingdom area, they could see these plants being grown in the fields and courtyards of the people of Sastihar alone.

There was no way around it. Even with the alliance's suppression, the huge profits from opium could not quench immediate thirst. The Sastihar regime, which had only been in existence for a few years, was not strong and had average control. It could only be said that it was powerless to deal with the domestic situation.

Of course, this is the official statement. No one knows what is really going on in private, whether it is impossible to eradicate it or they do not want to eradicate it and just accept filial piety.

In this direction, the nearest powerful country is Kotna, which is controlled by the Astar branch royal family.

As a close relative of the Queen, Kotna's status in the alliance system is basically equivalent to Surya, and it can purchase all conventional weapons currently in service in the alliance at a fair price.

The geographical environment also destined Cotna to use the navy as the foundation of its strength. It has a mixed naval fleet consisting of two Queen-class armored aircraft carrier sister ships retired from the Alliance, six Dreadnought-class battleships, and several cruisers, destroyers, supply ships and other auxiliary ships.

Empress-class aircraft carrier

The single-story hangar has two elevators, a full-length flight deck of 231 meters in length, a 5.5%uB0 angled deck design, a full-load design displacement of 24000 tons, and a combined propulsion power system of a steam turbine-magic engine main engine.

The main armor belt is 79-127 mm, the hangar deck is 50 mm, and the hangar is designed to accommodate 120 aircraft.

舰载武器防御双联四座位于舰桥前后的20门120毫米口径高平两用炮，以及25门四联装40毫米高射炮以及15门20毫米机炮。

The total tonnage of its navy ranks among the top three, which is higher than that of Ernesto's navy, which is working hard to build the continental army and develop its own warships. It is a veritable little overlord of the Southwest Peninsula.

However, Cotner used most of the military expenditure on building the navy. The air force and the army were merely subordinate departments of the navy. If a war really broke out, the real ground forces would still need to be organized by each country to fight the Goblin Kingdom. Cotner could only be responsible for naval and air fire support.

"System, can Eric really defeat that ghost thing? It calls itself a god. Can we kill a god?"

After some effort, he killed the big guy who was blocking the way and opened the sealed door. Su Chen, panting, carried Eric on his back and entered the underground world again.

[Don't worry, the only true God you can contact right now is that lady, the others are just false gods at best.]

"Why? I don't feel that the Queen is any stronger than those gods." Su Chen raised his doubts. He still kept in his heart that in terms of external expression, she is even inferior to some so-called false gods.

At least they have the image they want, the miracles they want, and they can show their faces as gloriously as they want.
