"The coffin is in the current capital of the United Nations. That is Constantinople."
"Ah... this?"
The Khutot Khan was stunned again, but this time, his face showed visible astonishment and regret.
To Khutot Khan, Emperor Benjamin was destined to be his opponent—but as a "man of destiny" chosen by this world, he essentially still held the highest respect for that warrior.
Although the nomads of the Khutot Khanate would fight to the death with the Roman Empire, this did not affect Khutot Khan's respect for the Roman emperor.
As a result, now, a man who once served as the regent of the Roman Empire suddenly told me that the emperor who deserves respect has died, and his body is not in the Roman Empire? But in another country
It was as if something extremely bad would happen if the body was left in the Roman Empire... What on earth was going on? Why did the country that once defeated us become so... weird in less than ten years
The Khan couldn't understand what was going on. On the steppe, they had no way of gathering intelligence about the south - but it shouldn't have turned out like this, right? In such a short time... Isn't this too strange
Hutot Khan looked at Yang Hao blankly, hoping to get an explanation. But Yang Hao shrugged and gave a very simple explanation: the Romans killed their own emperor, and he was going to die too, but he escaped by chance...
"Anyway, Hutot Khan, you should understand that the Roman Empire is in chaos right now - your tribe can directly enter the heartland of the Roman Empire and fight the Romans wantonly, but I must warn you that the Isgardians are our allies, and we will not sit idly by and watch you attack towns occupied by our allies. So if you want to continue to move south, you might as well sign a contract with us..."
"Contract? A non-aggression contract, right? What else?"
"Commercial contracts are also possible, and considering the border issues between our three countries, and our common enemy, the Roman Empire—
We can establish an alliance against the Roman Empire during this period of time, and the duration of the alliance will last until the Roman Empire is completely conquered, and we can discuss the occupied areas together. "
"Do the United Nations and Isgard have the confidence to occupy Roman?"
"In fact, we all have that ability. But the important locations we need won't conflict too much. If we really have to go to war and suffer losses on all three sides, it would be too uneconomical - so it would be best if we can resolve the issue of interest distribution at the conference table."
Yang Hao's words made perfect sense, but Fen's mouth twitched as he thought: How can this be a situation where everyone suffers
Strictly speaking, if Khutot Khan's army entered the Roman territory, in this case, if the United Kingdom and Isugard showed their power against Khutot Khan's army, the one who would suffer the greatest damage would be the Khutot Khanate.
After all, geographically, their logistical supplies and reinforcements from the north must pass through the United Nations' prismatic fortress located on the ranch.
In terms of military power, after entering the Roman territory, the Hutot Khan army was actually surrounded by the three major forces of the United Nations, Isgard, and the Roman Empire.
They didn't bring too many supplies, didn't occupy any cities in the early stages, had a large army, and not many areas in the Roman Empire had been cultivated after the drought. Even if there was any, it would have been trampled clean by the rebels and the undead... In the end, wouldn't these nomads have to beg us to sell them some supplies
Of course, it is not impossible to plunder the United Nations and the areas occupied by Isgard - but the problem is that the barbarians are in the real era of cold weapons.
If they plunder the United Nations, their own rear will explode and they will suffer huge losses.
Looting Isgard would also cause the United Nations to revolt... In this situation, Khutot Khan seemed to have countless choices, but in fact the only choice left for him was to gradually become a dog of the United Nations...
I can only say that Yang Hao is really ruthless. The elves would not do this, so why did he dare to think so? Didn't we agree to treat them as allies
The corners of Fen's mouth twitched, and at this moment, she suddenly heard the nun's voice in her ears:
(Because that’s who he is. All for us.)
How did your voice come through
Fen frowned, but after realizing that the nun might be using her "divine magic" to take care of this place, she relaxed.
(In short, I will use my magic to ensure your "safety" at all times, and at the same time detect whether this Khan is speaking the truth. After all, this was planned yesterday...
Of course, I will also help Yang Hao record everything about this meeting. Oh, when I think about how hard I work and "Guangming" is still sleeping, I get angry... Never mind. I won't bother you for now. Don't show too much expression, that's all. )
The nun's sigh, accompanied by the release of divine magic, made Finn feel his ears itchy.
But it is true that the nun's magic is used in that way - there is no need to say much about the magic of detecting lies, and the "recording" that cannot be detected from a very long distance is the most practical magic... But this makes Teresa suffer.
At this point in time, he should have just finished breakfast and was getting ready to take office, right
The little elf was thinking about something.
On the front battlefield, Hutot Khan discovered the problem after pondering for a long time.
But he also knew that he had to compromise - because if the nomads could not take advantage of what he called the "auspicious sign" to continue moving south, then the legion would soon lose its cohesion and disband directly... At that time, victory would no longer be decided by them.
After thinking about it, I decided that signing the contract would at least ensure safety and supplies in the rear for the next period of time.
So after Hutot Khan confirmed again and again that this was a price he could afford, he said that if possible, he was willing to sign the contract immediately. As long as Yang Hao could bring the contract over immediately, it would be fine now.
"Then we need to wait for the guest from Isgard to arrive - don't worry, she's right behind us."
Yang Hao nodded, and after whispering a few words in Fen's ear, he let his elf use teleportation to leave here.
Looking at the elf that left in an instant, Hutot Khan's face became extremely solemn.
"Teleportation", especially "smooth teleportation", is an important resource for most of the powerful people in the world.
Not only can it ensure one's own safety, but more importantly, the magic of "teleportation" can ensure efficient and unified administration, avoiding the need for more than ten days to transport the orders of the day, which would cause the orders to be lost, while also ensuring the monarch's management and rule over the local government.
As for "assassination", "teleportation" is more effective in catching the enemy off guard... But basically no one would risk letting a mage who is proficient in teleportation die deep in the enemy's lair to do such a thing.
Especially the one who knows how to cast magic to teleport elves is the queen of Caparia.
They couldn't let the Queen take risks, but it also indirectly proved that the presence of the Queen would make the time difference tactics lose most of their effectiveness.
It seems that we really can't make any small moves. Hutot Khan sighed, took out the wine bag from his waist, drank a mouthful of mellow milk wine, and said that he hoped that if there was a chance, he could come to Constantinople in person to mourn for the late emperor after the three countries had achieved their respective victories.
"After all, Emperor Benjamin defeated the tribes that once were. He is also the Chosen One, and for that reason, I have respect for him."
"I'm sorry to say that I can't let strangers approach his tomb at will. If you want to come here, Hutot Khan, please prove that you are a friend of the United Nations - I mean, a friend who can be considered a friend, not a superficial friend who will fight for an acre of land."
"It will take time to prove this. Compared to this... Mr. Regent, I am curious, did you inherit the name "Baier Zhans"? "
"What do you mean?"
The conversation between the men entered a delicate area.
Yang Hao didn't know why Hutot Khan knew the name of this ancient country. After all, it seemed that the barbarians had no inheritance.
On the other hand, Hutot Khan was concerned about the subtle expression on Yang Hao's face - because this subtle expression seemed to indicate that the country's name "Bayerjans" was not inherited.
They just looked at each other. Before Yang Hao could make any reply, Fen rushed over from a distance with a confused Black Dragon.
The black dragon is immune to most magic, so even "teleportation magic" has almost no effect on her.
She could only obediently follow Finn as they rode the moose over here. After learning that Yang Hao had kindly given Ishugard a big gift, the black dragon, who had worked so hard that his hair turned white, almost cried in front of Finn.
She couldn't help but be moved. His Majesty Yang Hao could have signed a contract with the barbarians unilaterally without notifying Isgard, and even if she knew about it, she had no right to complain about the United Nations' diplomatic actions because of the diplomatic situation of "not being invited".
She would worry about whether the barbarians heading south would have an impact on the colonial army, and she would be even more worried about whether Isgard would be abandoned after having new allies - but now it's good... His Majesty Yang Hao still remembers us!
I finally feel relieved... Alas, this is also the colonial army's fault for not being strong enough. If the colonial army could reach the Roman capital right now, would I have worked so hard
Alas... Being a diplomat of the United Nations is much more comfortable than being a diplomat of Isgard. At least the United Nations won't give me so many troubles...
Miss Black Dragon sighed heavily, and just after she cheered up, the temporary military alliance and non-aggression treaty of the Tripartite Alliance was temporarily signed under the witness of Finn, Yang Hao, Hutot Khan and Black Dragonia...
Matters concerning the distribution of benefits would have to be dealt with later - in short, Hutot Khan's army had obtained the authority to move south, and the United Nations did not need to send military forces to the north for the time being, and Isgard did not have to worry that the barbarians moving south would have too much of a negative impact on its colonial war.
In this way, the three countries temporarily stood behind a table. On the other side of the table was the Roman Empire, where its left and right feet and left and right hands were fighting each other.
When talking about the Roman Empire, we have to mention the Alesse soldiers in the heart of the Roman Empire.
After being forced to guard the royal capital, the Alesse soldiers could be said to have completely lost contact with their fleet and logistics.
Although they can prepare lead bullets by themselves using molds, the capital is not an industrial city, and the amount of lead in the capital is limited, not to mention that the other equipment of the Alese people requires domestically produced parts for maintenance.
Simply put, they are parts for gas cylinders and air guns. You can't expect the craftsmen in the Roman capital to make these things, right
Although they have tried, the output of those craftsmen who are capable is not high, and those who are not capable will only waste resources.
As a last resort, they could only send some scouts to the coast outside Drake Harbor in the south, hoping to encounter their fleet that was blockading the sea area, and ask the fleet to help pass the news back to the country and bring up supplies.
But for Arese's navy, the current situation is also very embarrassing.
On the one hand, after obtaining supplies from the land, the Arese Navy's blockade of the port could only be limited to "blockade".
They did not dare to actually attack the port because it had been cleared long ago. Their bombardment of the port would only cause casualties to the Romans and would not cause any trouble to the Isgardians.
On the other hand, the Ares Navy also had no way to transport supplies in bulk to its own infantry on land without dock facilities...
Not to mention that these supplies could bypass the blockade of the living dead and be transported to the royal capital through the mountains and hills by manpower.
"Who told us that the waterline of our ship is so deep? If we really want to transport large quantities of goods, won't we just run aground? And then again, those supplies that cannot take in water will be easily destroyed if we just put them in the water and let them float away. But if we only rely on small boats, how long will it take to transport them?"
Arese's navy was in great trouble and had no choice but to report the army's needs back to the country.
After the news spread into the country, the Emperor of Arese felt powerless and demented by the strange changes in the current situation of the Roman Empire.
He was celebrating with the public that he would soon be able to control Roman some time ago, but how come Roman suddenly looked like he was about to die
Not only did they almost die, it looked like they killed themselves. What on earth was going on
At this moment, the emperor of Arese was like a germ that invaded the human body and was ready to kill the developing bacteria. As a result, he really invaded the human body and found that the patient was a terminally ill patient. Not to mention that he, as a germ, actually became the last straw for this dying person...
The change in role made Emperor Arese dazed, but what was more important was the needs of his own troops.
There is no doubt that supplies must be delivered, but where to start delivering supplies is another good question.
The Emperor of Ares summoned the Secretary-General and all the generals who stayed in the country. They studied the latest Roman maps together, and while studying the attack routes of the so-called "living dead", "Isgard" and the "United Kingdom" in the north, they came to a conclusion.
If you want to transport supplies, you can only start from the mines in the east. Although it seems that there are no conditions for transporting supplies there, if you study it carefully, you will find that there is indeed a shallow beach in the mine that can be used to build a dock for the Alese people...
As long as the dock is built, it will be possible to transport large quantities of supplies to the transit station.
As long as the supplies can be transported to the transfer station on a large scale, it will be possible to then transport the supplies by manpower along the relatively safe eastern mining roads.
"It's better to do this than to let our soldiers risk being chased by the zombies to transport heavy supplies. And geographically, the eastern mines are closer than the southern coast."
The general who stayed behind sighed.
"But in this case, in order to ensure our interests in the Roman Empire, we must send more soldiers... And the Isgardian fleet will be back soon, and then Isgardians will surely launch a more violent attack. We must at least intercept them outside the capital, or..."
"Or?"
"Or we can let Prince Gasson become the leader of the 'government in exile' and have him come to Arese to ensure safety - as long as we have the blood of the Roman royal family, we will have the legal power to control the Roman Empire.
After all, we can't possibly kill all the Romans and replace them with our own people to open up the wasteland, right? This is impossible. Absolutely impossible."
Arese is an archipelago country with a small population, so they hope to use the labor of the Romans to obtain a large amount of resources for themselves instead of managing the territory of that huge empire themselves.
Naturally, they need Prince Gasson to be alive. Because as long as Prince Gasson is alive, the Roman Empire will be legally controlled by Alesse. In this way, the people of the Roman Empire will recognize Alesse's authority...
But having said that, if the Arese people were to continue sending elite troops to the Roman Empire, it would be a risky move for the current Emperor Arese.
Should he take a gamble or give up in time? The emperor gritted his teeth and imagined a future where resource-poor Alesse might eventually be colonized by Isgard, so he decided to take a gamble.
After all, whether it is a gamble or not, this country has already reached the most dangerous juncture. Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to stand up and try to open a bloody path.
In this way, under the order of Emperor Arese, the entire Kingdom of Arese was mobilized and began to concentrate its forces to assist Roman in resisting the invasion.
At this time, meteors appeared in the sky again. The meteors that appeared in broad daylight were not dazzling, but the mages still keenly captured their falling movements.
The witch far away in the parish sighed that "Roman's demise is just around the corner" while helping her old friend handle government affairs.
Their ascetic army is growing stronger day by day, and somehow their power seems to be purer after they have separated from the followers of the old religion...
Why is this happening? The witch already had the answer in her heart, but for the saint, she still needed time to come out of it.
She continued with her work while studying the meteors in the sky.
At high altitude, after giving up several blocks of land for the last time, the last core area of the Kingdom of Eden finally collapsed under the attack of the demons.
They had to make an emergency landing. No matter what the ground looked like, they had to make an emergency landing to have a chance of survival.
The place chosen by the synthetic doll for emergency landing is the coastal area in the west of the forest of the current Elucia continent.
Because in theory, the territory where the country called Bayerzas used to be located is a relatively safe area, where the demons theoretically exist less frequently, and more importantly, it has sufficient coastal resources as a necessary condition for the Kingdom of Eden to restart the reactor.
Everything is ready. All the magic puppets are waiting for the forced landing to begin, and the demons that are attacking the last defense stronghold are also accumulating strength.
Finally, with a crisp sound, Elena interrupted the artificial magic channel between the floating island and the launch module, and concentrated all the magic power on the buffer device.
The continent in the sky began to fall. It fell on April 7, when the Khan's army was heading south and Yang Hao and others were returning to Constantinople to work.
Chapter 1: Fallen Land and Demons 8K
On April 7, when the Khan's army crossed the blockade and headed south to join the Isgard colonial army and prepare to fight a life-and-death battle with the Roman Empire, Yang Hao and his team were planning their next work in Constantinople.
There is no doubt that after temporarily confirming Hutot Khan's military ally, the United Kingdom has a relatively safe north. After the north is relatively safe, they will have spare energy to carry out other work.
The first thing was naturally to reduce the number of garrisons in the prismatic fortress and stop the construction of the heightened city walls, followed by planning for the next invasion of Roman.
The most urgent task is to ensure the supply of metal minerals to the United Nations, the most important of which is naturally "iron ore".
If only the output of the Oak Mine was used, it would be too slow. But Yang Hao was unwilling to give up the pollution-free and "non-occupied" nature of the Oak Factory, so he decided to try to negotiate...
Is it possible to create a new "Forest of Elves" in another place? Can the forest of elves not be limited to the Monster Forest, but can expand to other places
In response to Yang Hao's question, Fen pondered for a long time, then lay down on the table and sighed heavily.
