The operator took note of these problems, and the final result was that after a whole day of fighting, all the heavy machine guns transported to the Kingdom of Eden were completely scrapped and there was no possibility of repair.
If Arthur were here, he would probably say something stupid like "Did you guys just throw the gun barrel into a furnace to soak it and then shoot it?"
But it is true that these weapons that can fire continuously still have to consider the issue of heat resistance in the end...
In addition, there were also hundreds of golems lost. Although most of them were cheap stone golems, the loss of those howitzer golems still made Naruga feel distressed.
The final loss was Fen's fatigue from releasing observation magic for a long time - but this was nothing at all, so after confirming that Fen had to rest well for the next few days, Yang Hao put down the report in his hand and looked up and said:
"But generally speaking, the United Nations did not suffer any losses other than material losses... What about the Kingdom of Eden?"
"Happy: The loss to the Kingdom of Eden is not that great."
And for Elena, the loss of the Kingdom of Eden was not that great.
The artificial magic reactor was successfully restarted, the magic network was slowly repaired, and the last 400 flesh seeds that could be fertilized were also preserved intact. No real deaths occurred among the magic puppets after the magic network was restarted.
The biggest loss was probably the permanent damage to the upper floors of the library, the burning of a large number of books, and the complete irreparable damage to the Colossus weapons.
But to put it bluntly, the truly important books and materials had already been uploaded to the magic network for storage. If the Colossus weapon was destroyed, the worst that could happen was that we could just build another one.
Compared with the fact that the demon population on the floating continent was completely annihilated and the people of Eden could rebuild their families again, the loss of the Kingdom of Eden could really be ignored.
So Elena was very happy, and the magic puppets were also very happy... The next thing that followed was naturally the issue of the distribution of the spoils.
The Eden people do not have much demand for the corpses of demons, but the United Nations hopes to take the corpses of demons on the floating continent for themselves because of the traders' demand for the corpses of demons.
The Edenites generously gave all the corpses of the demons to the United Nations.
Not only that, they also provided free long-term artificial magic to refrigerate the demon corpses.
However, in order to mine and transport these corpses, it is necessary to produce an "airship" that can travel back and forth between the floating continent and the surface.
That was a vehicle that could fly in the clouds that was common in the Kingdom of Eden in the past. It was impossible for the Eden people to provide a large number of these vehicles to the United Kingdom for free, so Elena made a request to Yang Hao and others:
"In other words... you hope that the Kingdom of Eden and the United Nations will reach an "alliance" relationship. On this basis, we can learn from each other's technology, develop trade with each other, open the border, and allow us to build our own factories on the floating continent, and allow immigration between countries... ?"
"Affirmative. As compensation, Eden is willing to provide the United Nations with finished product technology and services for free. Not only that, we will also assist the United Nations in building your own artificial magic reactor. This is what you deserve."
"So what does the Kingdom of Eden need?"
"Condition: The next time the demonic disaster invades, we must be close allies standing on the same front to fight against the demons together."
"This is almost like giving us a free gift. How about this? The United Nations will provide the Eden Nation with the conventional minerals you need for free every year. How about that?"
"Calculating... This condition is acceptable. Then, I would like to ask about the strategic direction of the United Nations."
"Of course we need to rest and recuperate - we can't just fight a war with the devil and then immediately jump into the next war, right? But... the high-level devil in the north, known as the Ice Disaster, we need to face together."
"Affirmative. The Ice Calamity may need to be dealt with by the rebuilt Colossus weapon... Correction. The opponent is a "Titan Demon", not a "High-level Demon."
"Anyway, it's a demon, that's all."
Yang Hao sighed.
Today is only April 8th. April 8th of the year 006 of the Imperial Calendar.
He should have at least secured about half a year of stability for the United Nations - it was just as expected.
Compared to a face-to-face confrontation with the devil.
Although political and diplomatic work is exhausting, it can at least avoid casualties among citizens and soldiers.
It would be nice if the devil could be dealt with through political means.
Yang Hao holds unrealistic fantasies.
And that was on April 8th.
The devil in the Roman capital also began his "Devil's Domain" plan.
Chapter 15: Summary, future development, Demon Realm's plan... 8K
On April 8, the United Nations' military operations on the floating continent officially ended at 11 o'clock that evening.
The Kingdom of Eden also needed some time to recuperate, but they rebuilt their home faster than Yang Hao and others had imagined.
Soon after the battle ended, the Eden people began to rebuild their homeland with the help of the magic network.
They produced a large number of magic dolls to provide a body for downloading consciousness for the citizens who were still surrendering in the magic network. They slightly increased the output of the artificial magic reactor and used more artificial magic in a short period of time to cleanse the ruins in the city. What appeared in front of Yang Hao and others was the brand new but empty Eden Capital.
Elena said that she would have to work on the reconstruction of Eden in the next few days. Once the most basic reconstruction of Eden was completed, she would invite Yang Hao and others to visit.
She also said that if nothing unexpected happens, she will go to the surface in the near future to see what the world on the surface looks like.
In order to prepare for entertaining Elena in the future, Yang Hao curiously asked the good question whether the magic dolls can eat.
Elena pondered for a while and said that the most advanced magic dolls produced in non-wartime can not only eat, but also do almost everything humans can do - except giving birth to children.
"Explanation: After all, our artificial equipment cannot produce tiny cells like eggs out of thin air, so this is also an important reason why we will retain 400 biological women as the final seeds."
Elena's explanation made Fen, who was beside Yang Hao, twitch his lips for a while. But considering that this synthetic doll had no interest in her man, Fen smiled and said goodbye to Elena, and then took Yang Hao and others back to the Purple Palace in Constantinople to rest.
Because of her own magic resistance, the black dragon had to fly back by herself. Perhaps she must have been complaining on the way? But Yang Hao couldn't care about the black dragon's feelings for the time being.
After asking the maids to prepare some clothes for him to change, Yang Hao brought Fen and Naruja to Theresa's office. He heard that Theresa had been waiting for them to come back, so it would be better to report that they were safe.
"Theresa, we're back." Without even knocking, Yang Hao walked in, scaring the little nun who was pacing anxiously in the office, and making Finn and Naruja feel quite helpless. "Okay, okay - don't worry so much. We're all back safely. It's okay..."
"How can I not worry? Alas... It's true that men who work outside feel confident, which makes me, a housewife who stays at home, worried... It's true."
The little nun complained, walked up and hugged Yang Hao first, then gave Fen and Naluga a hug as friends.
Then, after finally relaxing, Basilisa led everyone to sit down in the office, and she began to ask tirelessly about things on the floating continent.
After all, although Theresa believed that Yang Hao could handle everything, she still had to understand the details.
One reason is that as the Basilisa of Bayerzas, Theresa must understand the details of the conversation with the floating continent.
Even if it was a job led by Yang Hao, whom she trusted the most, work was work and life was life—
She didn't want to quarrel with Yang Hao in the future because of work, so she had to handle everything within the appropriate rules.
On the other hand, the most important reason was that he was worried that Yang Hao might be overworking himself and damaging his body.
Although it should be okay for Youfen to follow him, who would worry about him if even his wife didn't worry about him
So Theresa kept asking questions, and Yang Hao answered with a smile.
Neither Finn nor Naluja had any intention of solving Yang Hao's happiness worries. Instead, they were in Theresa's office, looking at the processed documents on the desk and thinking.
After a while, after Yang Hao finally explained the current situation of the Kingdom of Eden, and under Theresa's somewhat unhappy gaze, he stated the existence of Elena and that he had agreed to the Black Dragon's "going on a business trip to Ishugard for a few years" without authorization during a crisis.
"In this case, we will indeed have to enter a long period of development." Fen said suddenly. Under Nalujia's somewhat dazed gaze, she sat down at the foot of the table near Yang Hao with dead eyes, and then sighed: "Theresa, Bayer Zhans's situation doesn't look very good either."
"Do you think the population problem can be solved in a few years? You elves haven't solved it for hundreds of years, why do you expect us, the Bayerjans, to solve it quickly?"
Theresa rolled her eyes, then touched her belly in a strange way: "It's fine even if I want to set an example, but to be honest, I don't seem to have that symptom recently..."
"It's impossible that you are always outside, Yang Hao?"
"How is that possible?" Yang Hao shook his head blankly, and Nalujia tilted her head in confusion when she heard this.
"Teresa and I also want a child... so that little Anna can have a sister, right? So we definitely didn't take any safety measures..."
"Besides, we were in such a situation that we couldn't possibly use fish intestines..."
"I can't let Theresa drink mercury either... it's harmful to her health."
"Besides, I was always on top. You've seen him get excited before. How could he be rational..."
Both sides were talking at the same time, and Fen could only remain silent helplessly: Okay, go ahead and show off.
One of these days, Finn is going to be right in front of Theresa when she has to go out to work... Phew.
But then again... this seems like a really big problem, right
Finn frowned and sighed, "In short... Although our United Nations is said to be a self-governing country, it is essentially an autocratic empire... It will be a big problem if we don't have an heir."
"Isn't it okay for little Anna?" Nalujia on the side finally heard a question she could understand, and quickly spoke up to join in.
Then the three of them looked at Naruga helplessly and said, "Anna, don't even think about whether you can be the heir to the United Kingdom..."
It was extremely troublesome for her to treat the psychological trauma she had suffered before... If the presiding judge hadn't been here to lead her, Anna might not even want to leave the house.
"So my only request to Anna is that she can at least be a well-educated child..." Yang Hao sighed with a wry smile.
"I will give her the best care and the best financial investment. The only thing she has to repay us is to become whoever she wants to be - after all, I owe her too much."
"Wasn't that inevitable and something we couldn't have prevented at the time?"
"Whether you have the ability to stop it is one thing, but whether you really owe it is another thing - I owe it to my children, so let it be."
Anna is not suitable to be the heir to the United Kingdom because of her trauma and current thoughts.
Therefore, Yang Hao, Fen and Theresa must have an heir and train him to be a talent...
But the problem is, I don’t know if there is a problem with Yang Hao or Theresa - there is no sign of Theresa being pregnant now... I don’t know when it will end.
They sighed heavily, temporarily skipped the issue of heirs, and talked about future development plans.
There is no doubt that the Battle of Eden is still a wake-up call for the United Nations. After this war with the "well-fed" demons, everyone has a deeper understanding of the demons.
There is no doubt that the demon's ability to evolve and learn is a huge threat. But we cannot stay in our original state forever in order to fight against the demons.
So after much deliberation, increasing investment in industry to improve productivity and researching more and better weapons to fight demons at extremely long distances has become the core development direction of the United Nations today.
"As industrial productivity increases, we can produce more ammunition and products... To put it in a way that everyone can understand, if we can only produce one golem a day before the industrial upgrade, then we can produce 100 golems a day after the industrial upgrade is completed—
In this case, the magic network technology and artificial magic reactor of the Kingdom of Eden will become our next core...
In addition, some questions about the basis of industrial production, that is, the output of raw materials, are also good questions - Theresa, is there anything going on in Hutot Khan recently? "
"The herdsmen who went south expressed great uneasiness about the floating continent, and the merchants saw the potential to make money so they stayed.
Through communication, it seems that there is a huge iron mine in the Mourning Mountains in the north... But at this distance, let the herdsmen use horses to transport iron? Forget it."
Theresa's response made Yang Hao and Finn more determined to invade the Roman Empire's Kagad and Skull territories.
They didn't need the Romani, but they needed the churches and iron mines in those two lands.
Iron ore is the most important resource in industrial production, not to mention that if there are no accidents there, there should also be things like "copper ore".
"There's no hope for a trade... So let's focus on the invasion from the south. What's the situation in the south?"
"Here's the report... Are the troops of Hutot Khan and the Isugad Colonial Army fighting the living dead? But the number of living dead has dropped a lot, and a large number of them have entered the parish..."
"The parish? Were they ushered in?"
"Yes. However, the Protestant side, where the little saint and that damn witch were, had made preparations in advance, so they were not hit hard - but the Old Church leader Peter suffered.
The elves' spies said that the Old Church had to give up a large part of the outer land and retreat to the town? Their spring farmland was completely destroyed. But there is probably a lot of food outside. "
"I don't even know what to say. Where is King Roman?"
"It's even more chaotic." The little nun rolled her eyes, and then pulled out a new piece of information from under the thigh of the petite elf: "If General Dreshka's military district can still be considered stable and orderly, and is currently plowing and stockpiling food, then the direction of the capital can be said to be completely lost."
"Is it that serious?"
"That's the 'Doomsday Prophecy' - you and I both know what a group of Romans will do when they go crazy. Now even the palace itself is broken apart in the capital. Robert is leading the Imperial Knights to maintain order in the capital, while Prince Gasson and the Alesse people continue to hide in the palace...
They are already finished, they can kill themselves now without us having to do anything. I just don’t know what the devil is doing…”
The current situation in the Roman Empire is as bad as ever.
The military district where General Dreshuka is stationed has to resist the invasion of the living dead, Isgard, and the Hutot Khan barbarians, while also resisting the madmen in the royal capital and the aristocratic district in the rear - he can be said to have made great contributions and it cannot be said that he did not work hard, but... it is just terrible.
The military district is a place that is barely orderly and civilized in the central part of the Roman Empire, but other places have suffered too much...
In the royal capital there are a bunch of lunatics, a group of survivors helped by knights, and a prince who is curled up in despair. In the other noble cities that have not been occupied by the military zone, there are another bunch of lunatics and fools.
According to the elves' spies, in some places, the "pre-apocalyptic pleasure-seeking" has even reached an unreasonable level...
The central region is completely broken and rotten, but what about other parts of the Roman Empire
Theresa rolled her eyes and patted Finn's thigh to signal the little guy, who had something to offer besides his butt, to get off her table. Then she took out some intelligence she had sorted out.
As for the diocese in the north, as I just said, there is not much change at all, except that both the Old and New Churches are besieged by the living dead, St. Petersburg is still an unknown, and the angels in the sky have turned into skeletons.
The coastal areas in the south were almost occupied by the colonial army. They only had to wait for the second batch of reinforcements to arrive so that they could occupy more land.
Not to mention the West, where an important city was controlled by Isgard's colonial army, the rest of the place was occupied by deliberately diverted zombies, and the Great Khan's army was roaming back and forth.
So, what about the seemingly peaceful East
In fact, it is almost rotten. The Alese people seem to choose to log in in the East.
