The arable land was broken, the mountains and rivers burst, and all the ways of life that relied on the mountains and the water for food could no longer be maintained, whether it was farming or fishing. A large number of Kazdel people were displaced and fled their homeland. Most of them fled eastward to Yan State and were received by Longmen, the gateway to Yan State.
Block it outside the heartland of Yan State.
A small number of people fled westward to the neighboring country of Syracuse.
The Sarkaz don't know much else, and they basically make a living as mercenaries in various places across the Terra continent.
At this moment, Syracuse is facing a crisis of national destruction which could come at any time, so instead of the chaos among the gangs in the past, Syracuse is now more united than ever before.
...The main thing is that we have to be united. If we are not united, the whole country will be wiped out, and then they, as remnants of the old era, will all die!
Internal conflicts disappeared, and mercenaries had no ground to survive here.
But Victoria, which has signed a cooperation agreement with Syracuse, is in great need.
Under the surface peace, the various forces in Victoria are now beating people's brains into dog brains!
On the surface, the 72 times physical fitness of the Holy Healing Potion has leveled out all the innate differences, but the Sarkaz's innate fighting talent allows them to beat several people at once under the same conditions. The improvement of basic conditions has further magnified their talents!
The same physical fitness does not mean the same combat effectiveness. On the contrary, the gap between them has widened!
When both sides were using pistols, there was still a chance of a comeback. Now they have switched to Gundams. For the strong, it is an unparalleled game even if the parameters are the same!
When the Victorians heard that many Saccaz people in Syracuse had no means of making a living and could only rely on hunting in the wilderness for food every day, and that they had to pay taxes to Syracuse for hunting, and that their survival was difficult, they generously donated money.
"I have a lot of tough battles to fight, and I'm in need of warriors like you. Come quickly!"
As for what kind of tough battle it is...
The Argolians, who had eaten so much sweets that they vomited in Rutland, finally had a normal state banquet that was delicious and beautiful after arriving in Victoria.
But after the banquet, Agor's Science Archon Sakaban returned to his room with a frown on his face.
In the letter, Victoria said that there was intention to cooperate, so I came here excitedly. But when I arrived at the place, I found that there were big problems with this cooperation, and Victoria also had big problems.
There is a possibility of civil war breaking out in this country at any time!
And they are planning to drag themselves down with it!
Chapter 243: The Shadow of Civil War Over Terra (Part )
That’s right, in this seemingly peaceful country, the conflicts among the top leaders have now reached a point where they are difficult to reconcile.
Even at the state banquet for the Agor delegation, various forces were secretly fighting each other, and some even extended their own olive branches to Sakaban.
Victoria, with its vast and fertile land, excellent people's life, developed civilization and technological reserves, are among the best in the Terra continent. SilverAsh, the de facto ruler of the current Kjerag, once studied in Victoria. Many outstanding talents in this land attend universities in Victoria.
Victoria has also been committed to establishing a new international order dominated by itself.
It is a country with superior innate conditions but also with strong self-improvement.
But ever since the emergence of Dawn Corporation and the rise of potions and coupling forces on this land, the country has begun to go downhill in some ways.
From the perspective of overall strength, Victoria's military strength, civilian technological development, and economic index have all increased rapidly since the emergence of potions and coupling forces.
This country with a very high level of education reaped the benefits after the dawn of the world. They also embarked on a path similar to Colombia, but they did not rely on plundering the outside world. Instead, they invested their excess productivity in national construction.
Unlike the extremely harsh environment in the wilderness of other countries, where mobile cities need to move frequently to avoid natural disasters, natural disasters are rare in Victoria. In the past, productivity was not good enough, and there was no need, so large tracts of fertile land were not used.
But now it is different. Not only do we have new grain varieties from Luo Cheng, but we also have the power to defeat natural disasters. This can avoid the possibility of early investment being wasted due to low-probability events.
In the future, whoever has a larger population will have more possibilities to give birth to more coupled strong ones, so what are you waiting for? Develop!
The huge demand brought about by the development of wilderness has boosted the economy, created a huge number of jobs, and provided the powerful class with the opportunity to expand their power and wealth. It has solved the problem of internal overcapacity and alleviated the problem of the growing urban population and the overwhelmed mobile cities.
The most important thing is to divert people's attention, so that the people whose abilities have been greatly enhanced after taking the potion have something to do, instead of causing trouble everywhere and disturbing the people.
But beneath all this splendor, Victoria hides two huge hidden dangers.
Under the influence of Dawn, their country has achieved unprecedented development, but other countries are not bad either. Those big countries have each found their own new paths. On the surface, Victoria is more powerful, but in fact, while everyone is growing rapidly, Victoria's international proportion has decreased!
In other words, those who were unable to beat Victoria in the past are now able to do so, and those who had to rely on Victoria for their livelihood in the past are now the same whether she is there or not.
Although its strength is increasing rapidly, its international influence is declining rapidly. Perhaps only in this special era can such a strange scene appear!
As for the other hidden danger, it is also very simple.
The original royal family of the country of Victoria was the Drakes, who had the characteristics of western dragons. Later, the foreign Aslans migrated to this fertile land. The two sides fought bloody battles for this place for many years. In the end, both sides suffered heavy losses and realized that if they continued to fight, they might end up being reaped the benefits by others.
Not wanting to make things difficult for others, both sides chose to shake hands and make peace.
So since hundreds of years ago, this land has been practicing a dual monarchy with Draco and Aslan ruling together!
But this year, there was a problem with the dual monarchy that had been running for hundreds of years.
One of the two royal families, the Drake family, died out for some reason! Even after searching all over the country, no suitable heir to the throne could be found.
Aslan, on the other side of the twin kings, was also not at ease. Amid all the internal strife, they couldn't even come up with a suitable candidate for the throne.
Then a rare scene happened. This dual monarchy country actually operated idle for many years without a monarch!
Because of the butterfly effect of the Holy Healing Potion, Kazdel in the distance has no intention of expanding outward. A certain Sarkaz bigwig canceled the original plan to march into Victoria, and decided to stabilize the country before fighting against foreign enemies!
This is being played.
And Ursus next door may also have a civil war at any time. Yan State has the "landmine" of Longmen Wei Yanwu, and no one knows when it will explode. The fighting has not started yet.
Syracuse spent a lot of effort to mediate internal conflicts. Just a few months after Kjerag completed the purge and incorporation of domestic opposition, the Witch King of Letania and the Twin Queens joined forces to completely suppress the dying struggles of the remaining aristocratic forces in the country. They treated them to meals, beheaded them, and took them in as dogs... This was already done.
In this situation of almost universal civil war, Victoria is not unwilling to be left out. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention is focused on Ursus, they think that it is time for someone to sit on Victoria's long-vacant throne.
Some people who don't have Drak features but whose ancestors have intermarried with the Drak tribe and have some Drak blood in their bodies, as well as those Aslans who have not been able to sit on the throne for various reasons, are all a little impatient!
Their desire for the throne was not due to anything else, but was inspired by the Emperor of Ursus next door.
If I could obtain the throne of Victoria, could I mobilize all of Victoria's resources to help me practice? !
Who wouldn’t want the chance to become a god?
Talent has always been something that only a few people can possess. If people without talent want to turn things around, they can only work hard on various resources!
Even if it's not all, given Victoria's size, just a part of the resources would be enough to bring endless benefits!
Originally everyone could still coexist peacefully, but after Emperor Ursus's interference, this position that had been deliberately ignored in the past in order to avoid causing conflicts suddenly became a hotly contested location for everyone!
The reason why the attitude towards the Agor people's request for help was ambiguous was that the various forces in the Victorian official government, in this stalemate situation, intended to introduce external forces to gain higher power in order to overwhelm the other side!
The current situation is that everyone has expressed their willingness to provide certain support to Agor, but this support certainly cannot be given for no reason. Don't you have to... show a little sincerity?
Moreover, you have to consider carefully which side you want to show your sincerity to. If you make the wrong choice, it will not be good.
Just like that, the Agor delegation, which originally intended to seek help, was inexplicably drawn into the chaos of the fight for Victoria's throne!
Chapter 244 The Balance of Effort and Reward
"Are we really going to get involved in this, Sakaban?"
In the luxurious residence Victoria prepared specifically for distinguished guests, after Skadi checked the surroundings and found no eavesdropping devices or spells, he couldn't help but ask Sakaban.
Sakaban is the scientific archon in Agor and is the leader of this exploration team. Although Skadi has a lower status, as the person in charge of the team's safety, she is qualified to question some of the dangerous decisions made by Sakaban.
The population of Lateran is sparse, and although the race is more talented, the gap in resources and technological reserves does not allow it to have too many strong people.
In the capital of Victoria, a place where many talents of Terra gathered, Skadi met more than ten strong men who could fight with her without losing at the state banquet yesterday.
Although the survivability of Body-Tooth Push is far better than Source-Tooth Push, two fists are no match for four hands, not to mention that the opponent has more than four hands. If the opponent wants to attack the delegation, Skadi believes that even if she tries her best, it will be difficult to protect the delegation.
Skadi herself?
High-level body-tooth pushers are very difficult to kill.
Not everyone can use the Ocean Blast Fist, which can instantly deliver extremely explosive damage.
"I need to think about it." Sakaban did not give an immediate answer to Skadi's question.
The experience of visiting Iberia and Lateran has taught Sakaban that it is not easy to get support on the Terra continent.
In the past, the Agors thought highly of themselves and did not communicate with the countries of Terra. Now, at the critical moment, they have no leverage to coerce the countries of Terra, and there is no friendship at all.
Now the situation has changed. Agor has suffered, while the countries on the Terra continent have achieved rapid development under the influence of Dawn Company and the King of Dawn.
As one side gains, the other loses. Although the countries on the Terra continent cannot catch up with Agor’s technological achievements for a while, if we only talk about combat power, Agor will not be weaker than the countries on the continent in a real fight, but...
Ugh.
Sakaban couldn't remember how many times he had sighed.
It is difficult, too difficult for the party that is constantly declining to ask the party with an irresistible upward trend to do something!
There are two more countries he will visit on this trip, namely Leithania and Ursus.
Leitania's attitude towards Agor is unknown, but when Sakaban puts himself in her shoes, he really can't think of any reason why Leitania would help Agor.
Moreover, the relationship between Letania and the Lord of Dawn is a bit too close, which is also something Sakaban has to consider.
As for the Ursus Internal Guard, which might be the most helpful to Agor's current situation, the emperor is now in great trouble. Even if he agrees to support them, the price the delegation will have to pay will probably be far greater than what they might pay if Victoria is involved in the battle for the throne.
For Agor now, every opportunity to add weight to his own scale is extremely rare.
Victoria...
Sakaban couldn't help but fall into deep thought, repeatedly comparing what he had paid with what he might get to see if it was proportional.
Victoria is rich in resources and has accumulated a lot of talent and technical reserves in the past. After the rise of coupling technology, these past accumulations were transformed into a powerful coupling force.
The five countries with the most coupled powers at present.
They are the Yan Kingdom with profound cultural heritage, Ursus which was lifted up by the inner guards, Kazdel which is fragmented but very powerful with various Sarkaz with extremely long lifespans as the main race, Leitania which was the holy land of practitioners of Originium arts in the past, and Victoria, the central country where he is now.
In this regard, even Colombia, the original birthplace of the medicine, is a little bit behind. After all, as an emerging country, Colombia has too shallow foundation.
The country currently relies entirely on their unfathomable president, the King of Dawn and his direct descendants to support it.
With Victoria's strength, if they are really willing to send strong men to support, even if it is just a favorable battle, it can greatly relieve the pressure on their front line.
And what Agor needs to pay...
Judging from Victoria's tone, what they need more is new technology and legal support.
The former doesn't matter, it's just a little skill. Even if it is very precious, Agor can show it off.
In the latter case, Agor will be deeply bound to a faction in Victoria. If this faction rises, Agor's continental plan will be deeply affected by the other party, and the cost of communication between the Agor people and those forces and countries hostile to this faction will increase.
Once this faction declines, the power and investment left by Agor on the mainland may face the risk of liquidation.
These are things that cannot be ignored.
The more Sakaban thought about it, the more confused his thoughts became.
The mission of the country's survival rests on his shoulders. If he makes the wrong choice, it may lead to extremely serious consequences, so he has no choice but to be cautious.
After thinking for a long time, he felt that it was meaningless to daydream here.
It would be better to go out and take a look.
In the current battle for Victoria's throne, he had only met with all parties at a state banquet and exchanged simple greetings. All parties had shown goodwill to the Agor delegation, hoping to get some additional help.
Sakaban actually only knew the situation Victoria was facing, but he had no idea about the contestants in this battle.
His current plan is to collect intelligence and visit various forces one by one.
Sakaban planned to see with his own eyes what kind of people these contenders for the throne were like.
For Sakaban, if the other party is a true hero, he will not invest.
Because heroes will not be controlled by others for long. Even if they are suppressed temporarily, they will rise again in the future.
A true hero always has his own lofty ideals. If he wants to realize these ideals, he must integrate the forces of all parties. Sakaban does not want to be integrated, nor does he want Agor to be involved in the disputes that others have started in order to realize their ideals.
If the other party is in a hopeless situation, Sakaban will not invest in him. If you promote such a person, it will cost several times more resources. He may not remember your kindness. After he gets to the top, he may think you are an eyesore and turn against you. There is a high possibility that he will do so.
By then, wouldn’t all of Agor’s initial investment be wasted?
What Sakaban really wants is a contender for the throne who is neither good nor bad, but has a sense of gratitude in his heart.
If there is no suitable candidate among the various forces, then Sakaban does not intend to let the delegation intervene in this matter and will continue on his way.
If so, stay and take a look.
