The same is true for the Underdark. The scientific research department of the Empire is one of the most important driving forces for the Empire's external expansion. Because the Underdark is also rich in many raw materials that the Empire cannot produce in its own country. These raw materials have an indelible role in promoting the technological development of the Empire.
Now, the Old Continent is like a treasure house, opening its arms to the Golden Eagle Empire. The scientific research department of the Empire, knowing the taste of the marrow, will of course try to find a way to bring the Old Continent under its control. Then, all the rare treasures of the Old Continent will be integrated into the control of the Empire.
Apart from other things, saltpeter, one of the most important raw materials for making magic gunpowder, is not produced in large quantities in various parts of the empire, but in the Old World, there are saltpeter mines of excellent quality and extremely abundant output. The Lenseno people boasted about the saltpeter mines there, claiming that the quality of the magic gunpowder they made was even better than that of the Golden Eagle Empire.
Thinking about it this way, perhaps we can increase our support for the Old World?
But this would make the empire's already tight population situation even tighter.
Where can we get enough population?
Of course, it is the neighboring human countries that claim to believe in Aslanism like themselves.
In fact, before that, the population of other human countries was constantly moving towards the Northern Territory and the Golden Eagle Empire under Aslan's control, wanting to live the legendary good life.
After being accepted and swearing allegiance to the human world, the Golden Eagle Empire, and Prince Aslan in front of the Goddess of Light, these immigrants will be organized and migrated to the eastern pioneering areas to obtain the coveted land of their own, and then live a good life of passionately fighting with goblins and orcs every day.
This has already made other countries feel unhappy——
Yes, if it is those landless refugees or something, then it will be fine if they get some benefit.
But if those serfs who should theoretically be bound to the land also get profited, then the situation would be really serious.
If the Golden Eagle Empire was not so strong and the Crusaders were not so good at fighting, many border lords would have launched armed harassment against the Golden Eagle Empire in the name of hunting down escaped slaves.
This kind of thing already made them very unhappy. Who could have thought that even more unpleasant things were yet to come?
That is because the population demand is increasing, and the Golden Eagle Empire is no longer satisfied with just absorbing some escaped slaves from the Run people. Instead, it has begun to send teams of adventurers to sneak into its own territory to abduct serfs.
Can Geneva tolerate this?
Countless border lords, even those who were not particularly border lords, began to shout to their boss: "Fight, fight the fuck out, even if we can't win! If this continues, everyone will run away, and we will all be left with nothing!"
Of course, for the time being, they are just making some gestures and shouting slogans, at most it is just a small-scale border conflict.
War is not that simple. The interests of the border lords were damaged, not the interests of the king. Just for such a small matter, we have to fight against the super scary Golden Eagle Empire? What a joke.
So for the time being, the world's tension can be sustained.
Chapter 21 I feel scared. I am going to become Olivia who has worked so hard.
There is no way to fight, at least not for the time being. How strong are the Crusaders? If they really fight, they will definitely be defeated.
By 09, because the results of the war in the Underdark were so damn obvious, many rulers began to give up.
Anyway, I am no match for Aslan, so why should I try? I can just lie down and enjoy myself. If Aslan's army comes to kill me, I will die.
In this incomparable tragic state of slump, it is certainly impossible to get them to muster the courage to fight the Golden Eagle Empire. It is even impossible to form a coalition and fight the Golden Eagle Empire.
They also knew that with every day of delay, part of the Golden Eagle Empire's five-year plan would be completed. The more it completed, the stronger the Golden Eagle Empire would become.
In fact, the last node that could attack the Golden Eagle Empire and win, and contain Aslan's power to become stronger, has passed. Many people don't even know, or even dare to think about, when that node appeared and when it slipped away from everyone's hands.
Because once you think of that, you will feel incomparable, deep-rooted pain caused by your inability to do anything about the real world.
And now, the pain caused by powerlessness began to spread little by little, and was about to appear on the face of the Dark Elf Queen Olivia.
In other words, Olivia realized something very bad. That is, she was probably no longer a match for Aslan - both in terms of strength and power.
A new near-god powerhouse was rising up uncontrollably, and that feeling arose spontaneously. It made Olivia confirm that Aslan was only a hair's breadth away from becoming a near-god, the most powerful paowa in the world.
At the same time, what was even worse was that all of the Dark Elf city-states sponsored by Gouba in the Underdark were no match for Aslan's imperial army, whether in frontal battles, ambushes, or in battles to defend or siege a city.
If the dark elves in the Underdark killed themselves in the Northern Territory, then in the following incident, when the Golden Eagle Empire's army launched an attack on the underground world of the Golden Eagle Empire, the final result was still a perfect victory.
The dark elves of the Golden Eagle Empire were already cautious enough, and the Jade Empire also worked harder to support them in order to regain the face it lost after being beaten by the Golden Eagle Empire.
But even so, even though the Jade Empire had tried very hard, the final result was still a complete defeat.
Yes, the Jade Empire can use other victories to justify its claims. It can say that the dark elves it sponsored won a great victory when they beat other human countries. It can also say that the elite troops against Aslan were all other dark elves. If the elite main force of the Jade Empire went up, there would be no problem.
Of course, they can still use such words to comfort themselves, but everyone knows what is really going on.
In fact, his army could not fight against the army of the Golden Eagle Empire. In fact, they could not win. Although they had not really fought, it felt like they could not win.
So now Olivia is very worried. She always feels that when she opens her eyes, and when she closes them again, she sees Aslan with a lewd smile appearing in front of her, touching her all over and violently beating Hongru.
Of course, due to her overwhelming lack of experience, Olivia had no idea what would happen next.
So I feel very unhappy.
Sometimes, I even couldn't help but shout to Aslan who was sleeping: "Hit my teeth!"
Fortunately, Olivia did not have the habit of dreaming, so she did not expose this extremely bad thing, otherwise her life as an empress would have been over.
At this moment, Olivia still didn't want to lie down. In other words, at this moment, the Jade Empire was still thriving and looking down on the world. If we don't look at the super violent rise of the super empire in the west, then everyone in the Jade Empire will be very proud and complacent, thinking that the future will definitely belong to them.
However, if you take a look, just a quick look at the rising monster called the Golden Eagle Empire, all the pride and honor will turn into intense anxiety and uneasiness about the uncertainty of the future.
Why is there a strong man like Aslan in this world, and why is there an incomparably great empire like the Golden Eagle Empire?
Why can he organically combine the advantages of various races in the world, bring forth new ideas from the old, form an extremely powerful system, and through this system, madly expand his own power at the level of an industrial country?
Just thinking about it makes everyone feel discouraged.
Other human nations, including the most powerful of all human nations, Rensenor, have now begun to collapse. The elves and dwarves are paralyzed by themselves, claiming that an empire like the Empire, founded by a short-lived race, has no possibility of being sustained for a long time. As long as some changes or setbacks occur, this country will disintegrate like the great human empires of the past.
Naturally, after hearing these self-righteous words, Olivia wanted to believe that their judgment was correct, but on the other hand, she complained in her heart: "What a joke! How can it be so convenient?"
She didn't want to fantasize or lie down, but wanted to try hard to rescue herself.
If the previous military reforms were ok, then can we also learn from the Golden Eagle Empire in terms of politics, economy, science and technology?
The question is how to learn, how much talent is needed, how much time and equipment are needed, and more importantly, how to acquire those knowledge and skills?
In fact, recently, the Jade Empire has been sending a large number of spies to the Golden Eagle Empire, hoping to obtain intelligence and bribe the officials, technical talents, scientific researchers and the like of the Golden Eagle Empire.
But unfortunately, it was not very successful.
After all, the current Golden Eagle Empire is managed and monitored by puppet maids who cannot be bribed at all. So those ordinary civilian intelligence can certainly be obtained. But those extraordinary technical intelligence is completely impossible.
Under such circumstances, the anxiety of the Jade Empire naturally became more intense.
Chapter 22 New News Brought by Old Golden Dragon
"What exactly should we do? What exactly should we do to defeat the Golden Eagle Empire?"
Queen Olivia tried hard to think about it. But no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't remember it. It was very boring. It made people unhappy.
Of course, sometimes Queen Olivia also thought about the strategy she had wanted to implement before, that is, to marry Aslan, so that the two countries could be merged into one. Then it would be a happy end...
Okay, just a thought, not really.
After all, the current situation is completely different from what Olivia imagined.
The one who is taking the initiative now is Aslan's Golden Eagle Empire. And Aslan has already married Queen Theresa of the Golden Eagle Empire - although Aslan has a lot of women besides Queen Theresa. But people usually regard these women as Aslan's concubines, not his wife.
That is to say, if Aslan has any other women, they can only be concubines. This kind of thing is something that the proud Queen Olivia cannot tolerate. She doesn't think Theresa is a big deal. She is much better than her. How can she be inferior to Theresa?
What is more important is not the issue of personal feelings, but the issue of comprehensive national strength. When the comprehensive national strength of the Golden Eagle Empire is stronger than that of the Jade Empire, and it is getting stronger and stronger, the Golden Eagle Empire will definitely become more powerful in this national alliance.
What's even worse is that the largest ethnic group in the Jade Empire is still humans. Humans account for 70% of the Jade Empire. If half-elves are included, the number is 90%, or even more.
These humans and semi-humans are very likely to accept Aslan's Aslanism and eventually become Aslan's supporters. In this case, she would become a hollow empress without the people. It's simply a joke.
Of course, if Aslan's reforms were implemented, the leaders of various ethnic groups and the great nobles would definitely not accept it.
Even if you want to reform the centralized system, there are not so many outstanding talents to use, bastard. However, Olivia's magic research is not as intelligent as the puppets, let alone the puppets' high intelligence, so the technology is stuck.
……
In the summer of 09, when Olivia was still worried about the affairs of the Golden Eagle Empire, something unexpected happened.
The demons in hell sent messengers to meet Olivia:
"We are also worried and distressed about the continuous improvement of human strength. Our interests are consistent with your majesty's. If your majesty is willing, then we can form an alliance to jointly deal with the dangers brought about by the rise of the Golden Eagle Empire."
Of course, Olivia did not accept her proposal, because even a fool would know that a pact or deal with a demon is unreliable and would be like trying to get something from a tiger.
But of course, Olivia did not refuse, because at present, she really had no good way to deal with Aslan. So either she would be defeated by Aslan and become Aslan's hard work, or she would form an alliance with the devil to see if there was any hope.
But no matter which one, Olivia didn't want to do it. But, but, I always felt that if this continued, Olivia would first form an alliance with the devil, and then be defeated humiliatingly, and it would become Aslan's hard work.
……
Of course, as Olivia gained new allies, the power of the Golden Eagle Empire continued to grow.
"It seems that you will be the backbone in dealing with the natural disaster in the future."
When Aslan saw the old golden dragon Wilkrimalades Golden Wing again, he was somewhat surprised. Although six or seven years had passed, for a golden dragon, especially a near-god-level powerful golden dragon, this amount of time should not be a big deal.
Aslan still remembered that when he met Wilk a few years ago, the old man was very energetic. Although he was tormented by the prophecy, he was still energetic and looked very powerful, and he should not be underestimated.
But now the old man's eyebrows have drooped, his face is full of wrinkles, and it seems that the age spots can no longer be covered up. The feeling of aging and decay is almost impossible to conceal.
This made Aslan feel very surprised: "What happened, old man?"
"If I'm not mistaken," Wilk said, "the great disaster predicted and the eternal threat to everyone should be referring to those evil undead spirits."
He then explained the reason for his aging: "It was a curse from a great undead lord. But it didn't end well for him. It won't appear again for at least 500 years."
Aslan: "..."
"No need to be polite. I am also a part of this world. Of course I have to fight for this world."
Seeing that Aslan looked very touched, the old golden dragon waved his hand and said, "I have found the hiding place of those undead remnants."
"After escaping from the Old World, they found a new world with a relatively low level of civilization, occupied it, and enslaved all the people there. They turned the people there into their slaves and the source of the undead.
For hundreds of years, they thought about revenge all the time. They used the new world as a base to attack more sub-planes and regarded them as their colonies.
Now, the Undead Empire has risen again, and is even more powerful than before. Soon they will invade and take revenge on us all. If they succeed, the whole world will fall into their control. We will all become their slaves, and even death will not bring us peace.
When Lao Jinlong said this, he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Aslan: "I see. If that's the case, then I have to speed up my plan."
Wilk: "What's your plan?"
Aslan: "I plan to make all humans, moon elves and dwarves form a country. Integrate all forces to deal with the invasion of Hell. Originally, in my plan, the invasion of Hell would take some time, so I planned to use more gentle means to promote this matter. But after hearing what you said today, I must implement some more coercive measures."
After hearing what Aslan said, the old golden dragon opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond to Aslan for a moment.
Jin Long's personality does not like overbearing and tyrannical means. But according to Aslan's statement and the information he brought, it seems that Aslan is not wrong to do so. This is very embarrassing.
Chapter 23 What the Goddess of Light Needs
The human world is now in disarray, and there is really no way to deal with the invasion of the Undead Empire. So when Aslan said that he wanted to integrate the human world, it seemed to be true.
But the problem is, what Aslan said about attacking by force, or even war, is really a bit...too inconsistent with Wilk's ideas.
His original plan was to expect Aslan to form an alliance of human nations, and even bring in the dark elves to form a powerful alliance against the undead. Instead of what was happening now.
But Aslan's words made Wilk not know what to say.
"We have the ability to greatly improve the human strength of other regions. But other countries do not. Even if we give them all the technology we have, because of their backward productivity and production methods, all these reforms will only increase the burden on the country and the people, and eventually make the country a mess.
By that time, the number of deaths as a result will be ten times or even more than the number of deaths from starting the war.
Moreover, how can such a chaotic country stop the invasion of demons from hell and the army of undead from another world? It can't be done. By then, the number of their deaths will be even greater. Don't we have a share of responsibility for the people who died in this situation?
We could have saved them. But we failed to do so under the constraints of traditional morality? If our descendants discuss this history one day, what will they think of us? "
Wilk was almost convinced by Aslan. But the golden dragon still felt a strong hesitation in the end: "I don't know, but... maybe you are right."
He said to Aslan: "But if some bottom lines are broken, then..."
"That depends on why we break the bottom line." Aslan said: "We are trying to save more lives and save the world. In the face of such great and noble ideals and goals, we have a clear conscience!"
The old golden dragon Wilk left with mixed feelings. Although he said he would think about it again, on the other hand, he declared to Aslan that he would explain the matter to Dragon Island.
This will give Aslan enough help from the side.
If the old golden dragon was unable to support Aslan due to various reasons, then the newborn dragons might not have the same problem as Wilk.
Dragon Island will be more supportive of Aslan's next move, sending more sub-dragons, dragon-born creatures, and even real dragons to join Aslan's army.
At the same time, Wilk will travel to other countries to spread warnings about the undead army.
This indirectly helped Aslan's military operations. It was equivalent to endorsing Aslan's subsequent war of conquest and providing a just reason. In a sense, this was even more useful than the participation of ten legends or even a near-god. …
That's how Dragon Island became Aslan's ally.
The other ally came from heaven - that was the news brought by Teacher Maria after they had a fierce sex.
"The goddess is very interested in you."
"Or rather, the goddess is very pleased with what you have done, Aslan. Don't worry, everything you have done is just, and the goddess will support you. But at the same time..."
