But judging by the way the mine owners are protecting themselves and are extremely hostile to everyone, I guess a fight is about to break out in the East, right
And then there are the noble cities that are still resisting on their own and the rebels who have fled to the mountains...
There is probably no country in the world more divided than the Roman Empire. Probably...
"All in all, this is good news." Yang Hao shrugged. "We won't have too many problems attacking Kagad and Skool... So in the next few months, we just need to focus on improving the situation at home."
"Yes, yes, yes. But the problem is, my dear husband, development costs money, right?" Theresa stared at Naruga with a pair of dead fish eyes, then turned back to look at Naruga: "It's true that Naruga's small golems can bring us a lot of help, but the current production is still too small... So we still have to work harder."
"Yes... I will let the children work hard..." Naruga nodded. "But, the golems in the Kingdom of Eden are more advanced than ours..."
"It also means it's more expensive - you don't care about finances, so you don't know my pain. Everyone knows that advanced things are useful, but can you please take a look at the cost of those things
Even if we have the ownership of the Demon Mine in the Kingdom of Eden... we can't prepare so many things in a short time, right?"
"Um… "
"Not to mention, my dear husband and my dear friend are planning to develop industry and weapons. After all the calculations, we still don't have enough money. And not only do we not have enough money, we also don't have enough raw materials."
"that… "
"Don't forget that the 'explosive ore' that is a specialty of Japaria is definitely a rarer mineral than iron ore... No matter what, we still have to find a substitute other than 'explosive ore'... But now we still have no idea... So what do you say we should do? My little dog?"
"Uh..." After calming down and avoiding the threat of war in a short period of time, all the problems and hidden dangers of national development were thrown in front of Yang Hao.
The biggest issues are still the "money" and "raw materials" problems... But the former will have to wait for the trade between Isugad and the Khutot Khanate, and the latter will have to wait for some time before it can be solved during the invasion of the Roman Empire to the south.
In this case, no matter how much the little nun complained, could Yang Hao just create countless minerals and gold coins out of thin air? Definitely not, right
Even the two eggs under a man's crotch need to fully absorb nutrients before they can produce ammunition. So how can Yang Hao create resources out of thin air
Helplessly, Yang Hao and the others could only look at each other helplessly and sighed together for a long time. At this time, the maids outside came over with midnight snacks.
Bayer's midnight snacks have been greatly improved - although they cannot be made too exquisite due to limited food, the upgrade from rough dim sum to cakes is enough to make Yang Hao feel gratified.
Today's midnight snack was a dessert made of sweet dried fruits and cake. After enjoying the food for a while, Finn suddenly asked about the Japarian demons.
The demons were now the ones that had to be dealt with. Whether it was finding them jobs or having them serve in the military according to their specialties, at this stage when human resources were extremely scarce, the demons had to contribute their own strength to the United Nations.
"Personally, I plan to let the demons adapt to local conditions." Theresa sat on Yang Hao's lap, munching on snacks and shrugging her shoulders.
"Just like Naruga, as a member of the Ling tribe, can produce golems. I taught the demons for a long time, so I know their situation better... But this will inevitably cause some demons to leave Japaria, right? Is there no problem with the elves?"
"We elves will have no problem. Elves don't even care where underage elves live, let alone demons."
Finn rolled her eyes and motioned for Theresa to make room, then she sat on Yang Hao's other leg under Naluga's envious gaze.
"So, regarding the matters concerning the demons, Theresa, you can just make your own decisions - of course, if you tell me in advance, I'll be happy too."
"Hmph... This little elf is so cute. He tells us to handle it ourselves, but actually wants us to take care of him."
"I am older than you?! I am over 200 years old!"
"But he still looks like an undeveloped middle school student. Huh..."
Everyone continued to discuss the matter of the demons. Theresa hoped that the demons could use their traditional values in people's livelihood.
Take werewolves for example, they are very sensitive to blood, and their impulses when tempted by blood can be overcome through education and training.
In this case, werewolves are very suitable for "police" type jobs -
Not to mention that their speed of running on foot over short distances is even faster than a carriage moving at full speed, so it is basically easy for them to catch any thief.
Of course, not only being a police officer, werewolves can also be suitable for military careers such as scouts...
So in a sense, it’s not that the demons can’t find jobs, but the crisis faced by the United Nations during this period is too great, and in the chaos no one has planned jobs for them at the moment.
Now, the little nun had time to let her staff think about it - isn't it? Now that the werewolves were arranged, wouldn't it be easier to arrange the other demons
The only difficult group to arrange was the bear people. But the bear people were… big and strong, so Yang Hao found a good place for them.
That's the gun loader. Literally.
"The mounted artillery we are currently testing has a caliber of only 120mm. The weight of the shells is barely tolerant by humans, but allows the elves to load them more easily... That's all.
But in my plan, we may need a gun with a caliber of more than 220 mm to make up for our lack of long-range firepower...
By then, the artillery shells weighing more than 100 kilograms would not be something that could be quickly solved by manpower alone.
But bear people... they are really strong."
Yang Hao's words made Nalujia nod her head repeatedly in affirmation.
After all, Naruga was a demon who used to live in the Monster Forest. She was the one who knew best how strong the bears were.
They are demons with special strength who can lift a ton of stone at any time... Asking them to load a bomb that weighs at most a hundred kilograms? That would be easy.
Not only that, in some places where equipment cannot be transported using transportation equipment, bears have other options besides serving as soldiers...
They are also good at climbing trees and know how to cultivate bees to obtain more refined honey. In a sense, being a beekeeper is also a good choice...
As a result, before two o'clock in the morning, everyone had almost solved the problem of resettling the demons that had not been dealt with before.
But in the end, there is still one thing that needs to be addressed...
That is the problem of the demons' "faith".
During the previous war between the elves and the parish, many demons joined the embrace of light led by Theresa.
And now, this religion has also undergone some changes that make Theresa laugh and cry...
"They seemed to mistakenly believe that I was the incarnation of 'Light'... So... they carved a statue of me, and then believed in it as the real body of 'Light'..." Theresa's mouth twitched, and she lay on Yang Hao's body, feeling a little tired.
"I don't mind it myself... but I'm being worshipped like a stone statue while I'm still alive... This feeling... is disgusting..."
"This is a very common thing among us elves, right? After all, we respect our elders."
The elf was gloating, and her giggles made Naruga, who was already fast asleep on the table, shake her head, and then she fell asleep there. "But then again, what's the problem?"
"Did I tell you? When God comes to the world, He will change according to the believers' faith in Him... In other words..."
Theresa pointed at herself with a twitching mouth, and then pointed at the chin of the man behind her:
“At that time, if, I mean if—if the Light is resurrected through my efforts, and He appears in the Sanctuary Church where I was before…
He might... appear in my fucking image?"
After these words were spoken, both Yang Hao and Fen fell silent.
Although they did not think that "Light", as a god, would be so bored as to deceive the family of his only believer at the time for fun.
But they couldn't help but try to imagine it.
One is Theresa who looks normal.
One is the "light" that becomes like Theresa because of her faith.
One is always foul-mouthed and arrogant, while the other has a temperament that matches the "bright" character and is a gentle and broad-minded big sister.
…
Yang Hao touched Theresa's hair and comforted her seriously, "I won't make a mistake about you, so don't worry..."
Finn nodded, quite sincerely: "If one day there is a guy who looks exactly like you and doesn't make fun of my body shape, then I probably won't make a mistake in which one is the real you..."
"So why do you assume that He will come?! Impossible... Ugh... Forget it, we'll know what the situation is when the time comes... Okay, let's take a shower and get ready for bed. We can get up later tomorrow, but we still have to work..."
"After all, this is what it's like to be a leader. Every day is a workday - I'll take Naruga to the guest room first."
"Go ahead. Finn, let's go back to the bedroom and take a shower..."
While Theresa and Finn went back to take a shower.
Yang Hao took Nalujia to the guest room to rest. It was the first time for him to carry the girl with deer horns on his back.
She was a little heavier than Theresa, and had a sense of muscular strength—but Yang Hao felt it more directly.
The antlers hit their heads a bit.
That's all...
"Mmmmm..."
The clan leader murmured, saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth as he slept soundly, but he was still unaware of what was happening.
"well… "
All I can say is that it is hard to imagine a confused girl like Naluga reaching such a position.
Yang Hao sighed, touched the back of the Ling tribe leader's hand, and left the corridor, walking towards the guest rooms under the guidance of the maids.
…
At the same time, in the capital of the Roman Empire.
The chaos in the capital city is getting worse and worse, and there are even signs that it is becoming a breeding ground for some dirty and vile religions to flourish.
The demon servant was very satisfied with the tragic scene before his eyes - because the more chaotic the Romans were, the more smoothly his "Demon Realm" plan would proceed.
"But no matter how much magic residue there is in the eastern mines, I still can't assimilate the entire Roman Empire... I can only choose to find another way and drag the Roman Empire into the "Demon Realm" instead of directly assimilating it into a "Devil"? "
The "Demon Realm" is a part of the demon's native world "Purgatory" - or rather, it is a fragment of Purgatory.
Through special means and sufficient magic power, demons can temporarily drag an area into the fragments of purgatory.
At that time, part of this world will overlap with Purgatory, and the place where Purgatory overlaps with the real world is called the "Devil's Realm".
The Demon Realm is one of the most suitable areas for demons to live in. The native creatures living in the Demon Realm will also gradually assimilate towards the direction of demons under the influence of the Demon Realm.
Regardless of whether a life form has intelligence or not, as long as it stays in the Demon Realm for two or three years, when it finally comes out, it will basically be assimilated into a demon or a demon-like race.
Although the quality of the Romans is a bit lacking, it shouldn't be a problem for them to be assimilated into the Demon Realm and become the pioneers of the next demonic disaster, right
The demon servant was very satisfied with his plan... But because of this, he knew very well that he could not drag the entire Roman Empire into the "Demon Realm" for assimilation.
Not to mention the necrophile God of Light in the north, the west and the south have fallen into the hands of the enemy. Judging from the increasingly weak bodies of the demon servants after their intelligence evolved, he should not be able to set up the magic domain there.
The military district where General Dreshuka is located can be considered... The mining area in the east must be incorporated into the territory of the Demon Realm - thinking in this way, by then, what he can control are actually only the central and eastern regions
Barely enough, the demon attendant muttered, and then he looked up to the northwest of the capital. In that direction, a floating continent was quietly floating in the distance...
"It seems that the people above have been dealt with. I wonder who was so cruel to kill them... It can't be the regent, right?"
He was a little sad and confused, but it finally showed on his face.
"Alas... But fortunately, Ice Calamity is still alive. As long as Ice Calamity is still there, it is only a matter of time before we demons have a new home."
Still as firm as ever.
That was when the demon servant left the rooftop balcony of the palace.
In the United Kingdom, Black Dragonia finally flew back to Constantinople...
She was furious, and had already thought of a plan on how to make His Majesty Yang Hao "fuck him harder" and at the same time make him get together with Margarita during the two years he was on a business trip to Ishugard.
Chapter 1: Long-lost stability and jealousy
Early morning of April 9th.
Because there was no need to conduct government affairs too early today, Yang Hao and his family huddled together in bed, enjoying the warmth of the bed while giving up their work to enjoy the peace and comfort among their family.
In the bed, there are two bodies of different sizes conveying warmth, softness or toughness.
Outside the quilt, there was a stiff man lying on the pillow, unable to move his neck, and could only stare blankly at the ceiling.
He really couldn't move his neck. No matter Theresa on the right side hugged his neck, or Fen on the left side simply rubbed her head against his neck... In order to avoid alarming them, the only thing Yang Hao could do was to do nothing.
He could only lie in the arms of his wife, gradually waking up as time passed, while wondering whether it would be better for him to ask women not to put their hands on his neck when they slept in the future
"Really... we finally have some rare peaceful time..."
The exhausted Regent muttered. After shrinking his neck slightly, he closed his eyes again.
He was used to hard work, and now that he had time to enjoy himself, he was not used to it. He slept soundly, but he would always wake up from time to time during work hours.
This seemed to remind him—You still have a lot of work to do! You can't rest yet... However, the girls' hands were tightly controlling him, leaving him no chance to get up and move around secretly.
He could only choose to rest.
After Yang Hao fell asleep again.
The two girls who were pretending to be asleep opened their eyes at the same time.
"I said, this man just wants to work, right?" Theresa muttered softly. After touching Yang Hao's hair with a distressed hand, she blinked at Fen: "We don't have to work before 10 o'clock today... So don't let him wake up before 10 o'clock."
"Although I think the worst that can happen is that I can just cast a spell to restore his physical and mental strength... But you're right, if you can, you should rest well."
