Four-Armed Divine Emperor

"Holy Master"

"Sage"

"Respecting the Father"

And so on, nicknames that are exclusive to Al in these areas.

Eyre's behavior of promoting freemen and even farmers as bureaucrats was so unbelievable in the eyes of the old nobles and even the common people in many other regions, but for these places, especially those east of Norman, there was only one place, Devon Gael.

They wholeheartedly support Ai'er's rule.

It would be the same even if there were no such benefits. Besides, can one really "enter the customs and become a superior person" by following Al?

This generous treatment was intentional on Ai'er's part. Although it was meaningless in the long run, as sooner or later, the people under his rule would eventually become his loyal followers, Ai'er believed that:

Loyalty cannot be maintained if it is not rewarded.

Of course, it was also because he couldn't brainwash all the people in the territory right now and make them fanatically believe that "loyalty does not need rewards, loyalty itself is the reward", even though he had already started to establish a state religion, an inquisition, and battle nuns (?).

Before he discovered the talent of [Unity of Will], it was obviously impossible to do this.

However, relying on the mind-control aura of spiritual infection and continuous victories, as well as bringing tangible improvements to the lives of the people, they have become more devout and fanatical in their loyalty to Aiur than the followers of any great king.

In this way, even if something goes wrong...

Al died.

Many of his people will become believers of Ai'er and his descendants in the future, just like the Four-Armed people in the border areas who have maintained faith in the now illusory "Four-Armed God" for thousands of years. In other words, the image of Ai'er and his descendants will merge with the Four-Armed people who actually existed, becoming a Four-Armed God who "failed to save the world."

Correct

Chapter 162

For Ai'er, the perceptions of ordinary people are no longer important.

For him, perhaps the emotional satisfaction he could gain from listening to the chirping of the beauties in his harem was more interesting than pretending to be a "wise ruler" or a "great and virtuous teacher" and gaining admiration from his subjects.

Because the latter will inevitably happen over time even if he does nothing.

125: The Reign of Rome

After the reign of Ayr, the whole of Thurso was now known as the Roman Republic of the Wise and the People of Rome.

It ushered in rapid development.

Al doesn't care so much when he is doing construction. He has a large, absolutely loyal and capable team, as well as absolute military advantage, which is enough for him to treat Thurso as a blank sheet of paper and a ball of eraser, and he can paint and shape it however he wants.

A few people still hold the hope that "the wizard is just playing around", but Ai'er really regards this huge, properly developed area that can accommodate tens of millions of people and is naturally poor in magic, a "natural fertile land" that is not paid attention to by wizards, as his own hometown.

His lair.

The old rulers had to consider the checks and balances between different forces, the stable differences between "noble and humble," the royal family and feudal lords, the upper and lower classes, the power of the generals, and what proportion of tax revenue should be maintained this year...

But Al doesn't have to think about that.

His development plan for "Rome" always prioritized increasing population. To him, population meant everything: bureaucrats, soldiers, high-quality mothers and daughters...

To complement this, there must be sufficient productivity to support a population of this size, as well as systems and outputs that can arm them and turn them into a powerful legion.

So everything was moving towards this goal.

The feudal lords had their land forcibly confiscated. The more cooperative ones, such as the Knights of Caliban, were allowed to retain certain castles and wealth, but apart from that, all the resources they controlled were flushed into the public treasury.

Chapter 112: Helen Cuiye (10)

Land surveying and population statistics were carried out simultaneously with the reclamation of wasteland. Roads and canals were built, and the "Mortal Elixir," which greatly improved soil fertility and crop yields, was promoted vigorously in Rome.

Even after unifying Thurso, the Norman-Roman soldiers continued to fight against rampant bandits, wild beasts that plagued the fields, and even lurking monsters. In Aiel's grand blueprint, they still had countless enemies to defeat. Several expeditionary forces, fully equipped and led by the descendants of Aiel, were heading north. They aimed to establish a "civilized" outpost on the chaotic steppes and prepare for the conquest of the northern kingdom.

A large number of quickly trained bureaucrats were continuously expelled to those areas that had once been ruled without any space, gradually filling these places where "the royal power did not reach the countryside" with a uniform purple and red color, making them parts that could be immediately affected by the orders issued by Karlvik, and becoming the body that could be effectively mobilized on a worldly giant.

Just by achieving this step, in a place where there is no interference from supernatural forces, the product of the merger of the countries that emerged from the mountains has become the prototype of the next potential mortal empire.

Excellent and advanced systems are constantly transforming this country with the work of bureaucrats and priests. The worship of the Mage Council, the Sage Father, and the belief in the "Four-Armed God" that has gradually developed from the border areas to the entire Thurso area have eliminated the old customs of the past.

If Thurso was not a demon-poor land in the era before the White Tower was built, then it can be said that the Second Empire of Ashtar, established by the survivors on the ruins of the ancient empire, is about to rise.

But it’s not far off now.

The sheer number of Ai'er's descendants now spread throughout the Roman Republic, and the enormous number of genetic servants who are his extraordinary vassals, is a force that is beyond the imagination of ordinary countries.

Although the general level was not high, after Ai'er unified Serso, it took a period of development and his tribe reached the second stage. After Ai'er unlocked stronger power and talents, the average level of his second-generation descendants reached the second ring, and the outstanding ones even had the level of three rings and above. For example, Caesar, the strongest fighter, could fight two fourth-ring wizards alone, one was Shiril, and the other was a wizard named Luke from Caliban, and defeated them.

Most of the descendants of the descendants still inherited the same basic system:

First-level warlock, psionic.

Judging from his strength alone, he can be regarded as the most ordinary first-ring mage. However, with the power of the Four-Armed Man's bloodline and the expansion of his talents, he has no problem "challenging higher-level opponents" at the lower levels. When Al was a first-level warlock, he defeated Grace, a third-ring mage. Even if ordinary offspring are not that strong, their combat power is almost equal to that of a second-ring mage.

Current Gene Seed Potential: Medium

Surviving second-generation offspring: 369

[Three generations of surviving descendants: 2045]

【Fourth Generation Offspring...】

[Gene Servant: 10240]

This is the size of the Ai'er tribe now. Under his intentional control, the tribe did not unleash all the living people in the entire Thurso under one gene tree, because that might make the entire Thurso

Chapter 163

Not only has the population of So dropped by one-fourth to one-fifth, but most of the survivors are probably low-intelligence "base servant" engineers.

This was a bit too much of a burden on Al's old morals and conscience. He would not consider this matter for the time being until he had selected the talent of [Everyone is Like a Dragon]: the gene seed can adapt to and transform any organic life, and the blood infusion will inevitably successfully obtain "offspring".

However, based on the current scale, an army composed of thousands of spellcasters with at least the strength of the second ring is already strong enough to dominate a corner of the world without any difficulty, let alone dominate the continent.

Unifying Thurso is just the first...third step taken by El?

The planning and expansion of his development were carried out simultaneously.

After all, if you pick up a natural sword made from a branch, it would be a waste if you don't use it to harm flowers and plants.

The power that El wields is basically a dimensionality reduction attack on the surrounding areas, except for the Aegean states and the Golden Realm on the other side of the sea.

While recuperating in Thurso, rapidly developing productivity and increasing population, he also sent his descendants to infiltrate in all directions.

It was very easy to conquer the nomadic tribes on the grassland. On the surface, Al sent several expeditionary forces to the north to build cities and restrict the space for nomadic activities. But in fact, his real way to deal with these grassland disasters was to send several elite teams led by his own descendants into the grassland. They transformed themselves into emerging "nomadic war gangs" one after another, and then began to attack everywhere and annex their neighbors.

They had supplies from Rome and extraordinary people as their leaders. After the initial development, they quickly became six nomadic war gangs with more than 10,000 people. On the grassland, the law of the jungle is the law of nature, and mutual annexation is commonplace. No matter if the grassland people are simple bandits, alien orcs, or even greenskins, they have no objection to replacing their boss with a more capable one.

He would conquer this chaotic grassland in a nomadic way, and at the same time, he could use the constant low-intensity battles here to train his troops, and train a large nomadic cavalry army that would play an important role in his subsequent strategies.

126: What do they want to do?

"All the kings have left, and the kingdoms have become one. Mountains stand tall, and the academy is built. They cover over three hundred miles, blocking out the sun and the sky."

"He built a palace and named it 'Xuefu'. All the talented and beautiful men came to study in the palace. In the early years, there were more than a thousand students, and in the following years, there were eight thousand. People at that time sighed and said: 'The eight thousand households in front of and behind the palace are all the families of the virtuous teachers and fathers-in-law...'"

"They keep a hundred feathered beasts, over a thousand hoofed beasts, and more than a thousand scaly monsters, and have six thousand warriors on active duty, known as the 'Beast Taming Army.' They consume countless grains and meat daily, enough to feed an entire nation..."

"The rulers of the nations bowed their heads, tied their necks, and submitted their orders to the officials. They sent their sons to build fortifications in the north and guard the frontier, repelling the bandits for over 700 miles. The Hu people dared not come south to graze their horses, and the nobles dared not draw their bows to avenge their grievances."

"The people all praised his virtue, saying: 'Great Saint, most virtuous and respected father, whose kindness and virtue are unmatched by that of a great and virtuous teacher...'"

It comes from "Xu Yunke's Travel Notes: Mountains", a book written by Xu Yunke, a legendary Eastern traveler and scholar who traveled to various countries.

Thurso has shaken off his decadence! The division is a thing of the past!

just now!

Yes:

Roman! Era!

Everyone should unite under the flag of the Star Dragon (or the four-armed double-headed eagle)! For a better life, for a brighter future, for great ideals, in short, for our families and everything in this world!

Serve the Roman Republic!

Bow to my respected father and teacher!

Steel!

Steel!

faith!

In the third year of Aiel's reign over the mountains.

This remote region and barren land, once known in the world for its backwardness, isolation and poverty, has undergone earth-shaking changes, enough to make anyone drop their jaws at the difference between this place and a few years ago.

Al treated the entire mountain range and hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land as his own paradise.

He was satisfying his desires here at will, and his actions could make all the tyrants and despots in Seris's history say to him:

You are a little too stupid.jpg.

In three years, I have done things that others have never done in their entire lives.

He also regards the real world as his chessboard and countless living mortals as his chess pieces.

He often creates large-scale, real-life cosplays, often involving an entire city for his own entertainment. He is also a fan of spectacles and grand narratives, enjoying large-scale sieges and complex planning and dispatching.

He continued to train the army and strengthen its armaments. However, the entire Serso, a country called the "Roman Republic", also known as the "Purple Tent" and "Dragon Eagle" Khan Court by the nomads, and whose leader, Ai'er, was revered by the grassland people as "Zunfu Khan" and "Jishi Khan", did not have any obvious enemies, either internal or external.

After the holy city of Parsamenide was captured by the Roman legions, the Priest King surrendered in women's clothing, surrounded by the ladies of the palace. The Kingdom of Xerxes, founded by the Zoroastrians, was destroyed. Among the four princes, only the Eastern Prince traveled light and abandoned his territory and fled south to Alan before the arrival of the Roman army. The other three princes and the Priest King himself became guests in the court of the Sage in the holy city.

After the Romans occupied Semnan in the south, they moved people to this city and built a pass at the southernmost gate of the Kingdom of Xerxes, physically separating the entire city of Semnan from the southern part of the Aegean Sea.

Chapter 164

From then on, caravans coming from the south could only trade in this city, which was renamed after Constantine, the eighteenth son of Aiur, and could no longer enter the interior of Thurso.

All of the details were difficult for Alan to understand, and the divided Zoroastrian Empire paid no attention to this "small incident" happening in a remote borderland that had not experienced any problems for thousands of years. Therefore, Thurso's merchants could still travel throughout Alan as long as the local warlords and bureaucrats did not hinder them.

The entire Thurso-Rome, in theory, seems to have no internal or external threats. There is sea to the east and west, endless grassland to the north, barren land to the north, and mountains to the west and southwest. There are countless remnants of ancient wars, which is more dangerous than Thurso, a barren place that simply lacks magic. Mages are too lazy to enter it.

The only neighboring kingdom that could pose a military threat to them is the Alan Empire to the south, but this old empire is now caught in an increasingly serious internal division and chaos. It is equivalent to a large Xerxes Kingdom that is countless times more powerful and may split into countless pieces at any time.

In other words, there is almost no military threat.

But Ai'er seemed to regard the establishment of a large and powerful mortal army as the top priority in the "game" of national development, almost second only to or even equal to his act of gathering a harem for himself.

He encouraged childbirth and even implemented it in the first year:

Children can be handed over to the Roman Republic for raising, and families with many children can receive multiple rewards from taxes to materials!

This system, which had never appeared even in the prosperous realm, had caused a dramatic increase in the birth rate of Thurso in just two years due to multiple stimuli. Along with this, more and more large "paradise parks" were opened in various places in Thurso. The children in these paradises were all given excellent supplies and education without exception, including knowledge, military talents and other aspects. It seemed like a large-scale social welfare. The only special thing was that these children all had to constantly receive education in worshipping "respecting their fathers" and "virtuous teachers".

Chapter 112: Helen Cuiye (11)

It seems that he is simply seeking fame and fortune;

He searched for craftsmen and developed technology; he reclaimed land, built new cities, and treated the entire Thurso as a toy that he could paint and add color parts to at any time. Now he was heading towards the path of being a "four-legged beast" in Tartarus.

All kinds of things.

His numerous absurd behaviors were carried out along with his "governance", but the country as a whole did not turn out as some people had feared:

The population is declining, the national strength is exhausted, and the people are living in poverty...

On the contrary, I have become more positive and hardworking.

The country's strength continues to grow, the population increases, technology develops, and the system innovates...
