In short, within an hour of the incomplete demonic realm unfolding, so many Romans were assimilated into demons...
This is really a good thing.
"It's just that the Demon Realm is incomplete. There are gaps everywhere for infiltration... Even many Romans escaped because of the incomplete Demon Realm. The current territory is not as large as imagined.
This is my shame... But since you have forced me into such a shameful situation, Regent... I will definitely assimilate you into our own kind."
The demon servant licked his alienated lips. Under his gaze, despair in the Roman capital spread wildly.
Originally, the people of the Roman capital had completely fallen into hell because of the influence of the doomsday prophecy. After the Demon Realm really appeared, these lunatics who had already fallen into hell naturally began their last carnival before their death.
In the process of being assimilated into demons, they changed into different appearances according to their desires.
This was a scene that the demon servants had never seen before. After all, in the previous "Demon Realm", creatures that spent all day looking for food would be assimilated into demons with huge mouths, and some creatures that liked to run would have stronger legs after being assimilated into demons.
Assimilated individuals will transform into shapes with unique abilities due to their own habits.
Originally, the demon servant thought that this was the limit of the demon realm, but after seeing with his own eyes what the Romans have become, he realized that there are always people who are better than you.
Those who were eating had countless bloody mouths growing out of their stomachs.
Jealous yet eager to have the ability to discover wealth, he grew countless eyes on his body.
And those who are full of control and greed have grown strange noses for finding gold and jewelry...
The demon servant felt confused. But soon, he was no longer confused.
Because everything has become a foregone conclusion. The next thing the demon servant needs to do is to send a message to his companions in the north...
He needs the Ice Disaster to go to the Demon Realm to prepare for the Demon Disaster ten years later.
At the same time, he also needs the Ice Disaster to help him protect this new demonic realm.
"After all, there are still a lot of unstable factors in the Demon Realm... Ah. I hope that Prince Gassen and his maid can become worthy demons... I hope."
The demon servant sighed.
Just when the demon servant was sighing, in Constantinople of the United Nations, Yang Hao and others who were taking a short rest in the lounge had not yet received any news of the unusual situation in the Roman Empire.
They were either lying or sitting. While Yang Hao was receiving shoulder rubs from Lady Lalumia behind him, he was also rubbing the cheeks of little Anna, who had come to him and acted coquettishly as soon as he heard he came back.
After little Anna closed her eyes comfortably, Natalia took the opportunity to hold her in her arms and put her down.
"So... let's talk about the parish."
With this sentence as the opening remark, Yang Hao asked Theresa and others about the results of the negotiations, and Theresa naturally stated all the details.
Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Theresa had no intention of occupying the diocese but instead used the diocese as a buffer zone in the future.
At the same time, Yang Hao was somewhat confused about some details in Theresa's negotiations...
"It's okay for Priscilla, but do you have such a big problem with Cecilia?"
Theresa rolled her eyes at Yang Hao's confusion: "Yes, I do have a problem with it! So are you going to blame me?"
"No, I don't mean that... I'm just curious about your emotional threshold, Theresa. Even I don't think I've seen you get angry very often..."
"That's because you, a man who often goes out to work, have no idea how to lose your temper! Besides, I can't be like an ordinary woman who causes you trouble all the time... So isn't it normal that you haven't seen it?"
"I see..."
Yang Hao muttered quietly, Theresa would often get angry when he couldn't see her... This was really incredible information.
Would it be better to spend more time with Theresa recently? At this moment, the man who was worried about Theresa's mood did not notice the cunning in the eyes of the little nun, nor did he notice the thoughtfulness in the eyes of the synthetic doll.
He thought about the negotiations for the diocese for a while, and finally raised his own questions about some places:
First, is the United Nations' current arrangement for the diocese "a forced public opinion" or simply Theresa's personal idea
Second, what do the two allies think of this? And what role do our people play in this
In response to Yang Hao's two questions, Theresa and Finn looked at each other, and then, together with Elena, who began to cooperate with them for some reason, each explained to Yang Hao the current situation of the United Nations.
The first problem is that the United Nations’ arrangement for the diocese is not just a trade-off between Theresa’s personal ideas and the actual greatest interests. More importantly, the public opinion of the United Nations will not allow Theresa to make any decision that accepts any decision of the current Roman Empire.
"To use a more common example, the Bayerjans in our United Nations are like those people in those restricted novels who finally crawled out of the underground, only to find that their mother "Saint Petersburg" was stabbed in the back by the people they once protected. Not to mention that the city was used for hundreds of years..."
"In this extremely bad situation, you want us to tell our people, 'They made a mistake, so we forgive them and don't impose sanctions' or something like that...
Let’s not talk about what will happen to us elves for now. Are the Bayerjans willing to accept it
They may even suspect that you, Yang Hao, have been possessed by the God of Light. When that happens, a group of people will cry and send you to the hospital for treatment. I'll see what choice you make..."
"I agree: Not all creatures can look at problems rationally. Obviously, the casual elves and the Byerjans are even less likely to look at problems completely rationally.
Conclusion: I think what Theresa and Finn did was right. It did not cost us any energy, and it did accomplish our revenge. It was acceptable to the people and to us.”
The three people said things in three different tones that Yang Hao agreed with very much. Except for Theresa's tone which was a little excited and the content was so radical that Natalia subconsciously covered Anna's ears, the statements of the other two were recognized by Yang Hao.
But then again... now the Bayerjans are hostile to the Romans - Yang Hao means that they are hostile to the Romans other than the God of Light and the followers of the Church of Light to this extent
Faced with Yang Hao's confusion, it was Miss Nalujia who spoke up this time.
The sleepy deer girl had fallen asleep on Yang Hao's lap at some point. After Yang Hao asked her about "what everyone thought of the Romans", she raised her head and said that everyone now had very clear and divided opinions on the Romans.
On the one hand, the people of the United Kingdom respected Romans like Arthur and Doctor Joseph, but they also sympathized with the parish ascetics - the poor girls who became ascetics after being tortured by Roman lunatics.
But on the other hand, the people of the United Kingdom also hate the vast majority of Romans, especially those shameless Romans who are more like beasts than human beings.
In this case, Yang Hao's worry is meaningless.
The fact that the people are more aware than he thought that [not all Romans are enemies], rather than worrying about the mentality of the people nowadays, it is better to find a way to put similar things in the teaching materials for educating the new generation...
“So, I hope that Your Majesty can consider allowing us to objectively record the facts in our textbooks in the future.
On the one hand, the vast majority of Romani people are indeed ugly. But on the other hand, we must also admit that a small number of Romani people have the qualities and abilities that normal humans have, right
Like Mr. Arthur, Mr. Joseph, those doctors and scholars who fled abroad... and me and little Anna.
I don’t want people in the future to view the Romani people as a whole that is inherently ugly… After all, this is a very dangerous trend to continue.”
Natalia on the side added something in a low voice. When Yang Hao heard this, he wrote down the question on a piece of paper.
Indeed, future national education is also a problem. Yang Hao sighed softly. Even after solving the problem of the God of Light and letting Lalumia regain power, he didn't seem to have any time to relax.
He twisted his neck and thought about the Romans, so be it.
In terms of national hatred, it is impossible for the United Nations to have any connection or communication with the current Protestantism.
In terms of benefit distribution, the diocese becoming a buffer zone is the best option for joint production. In terms of feasibility, this is also the limit of what Protestantism can do, and it is also the limit allowed by the United Nations.
Add those three together… No wonder the new church was reduced to such a position in the negotiations.
But never mind…
Even if this place is crammed with a population far beyond its capacity, Protestantism has every right to refuse entry to more refugees.
They can build temporary fortresses in the direction of the refugees, they can expel the refugees who come to seek refuge, or even take the initiative to kill them so that there is no grass left.
Anyway, they have the right to choose whether to accept their compatriots, and they also have the right to exchange and trade with Isugad or the Khutot Khanate. The United Nations only unilaterally and completely rejected all requests from the Protestants. In a sense, this is already magnanimous, right
"After all, whether Isgard and Khutot Khan will accept the trade request of the new religion is one thing, and whether we prevent them from trading is another... Never mind, we have done our best. Let them worry about the rest by themselves. We don't have time to waste on them."
Yang Hao's muttering finally made the two queens relax.
What they were most worried about was that Yang Hao was still obsessed with the saint.
After all, the Saint Girl had committed the sin of ignorance at most, but apart from ignorance, she was probably still innocent in Yang Hao's eyes...
But now it seems that there is nothing to worry about, right
Just as the two were thinking about this, Lady Lalumia suddenly said: So, what does the Saint decide to do
This made Theresa and Finn's hearts rise to their throats - and at this moment, Yang Hao just said, "Lady Lalumia, you can handle it."
"After all, after realizing that she really knew nothing, my anger towards her disappeared. But this does not mean that I will have the intention of favoring or getting close to her again.
After all, I'm not a saint. Her rejection at that time caused me a lot of hurt. It would be better to just stay away from her and pretend that she doesn't exist from now on.
But Lalumia, "belief" is your business... She believes in you, and how you deal with it is your freedom.
I won't blame you for this, nor will I feel uneasy or unhappy about it - after all, this is your right, Lalumia.
And I also believe that people’s beliefs should not be artificially restricted... At least the United Nations has not fallen to the point where it has to force others not to believe in the "light" in their hearts. "
Yang Hao gave Lalumia the power to decide how to deal with Saint Cecilia. After all, as he said, people's beliefs should not be subject to any restrictions. At least, the United Nations has not fallen to the point where they need to restrict their beliefs.
What's more... Yang Hao knows very well that when people are in despair, they will subconsciously look for the existence of "light".
This is also Lalumia's priesthood, and even more so her concept. If the god of "light" begins to prevent life from pursuing light, then what will Lalumia become in the end
He didn't dare to think about it. But at least he could make it easier for Lalumia.
In response to Yang Hao's permission, the god standing behind him just smiled.
After regaining her strength, Theresa shuddered subconsciously at the maternal tenderness that emanated from Lalumia's eyes that radiated a faint golden light.
Before she could say anything to stop him, Lalumia hugged Yang Hao's head to her chest, shocking everyone and making their eyes widen - even little Anna.
"Thank you, child."
Lalumia sighed, she was actually prepared that Yang Hao would want her to restrict Protestant beliefs. She was willing to do so, but she really didn't expect that Yang Hao would be so open-minded...
What a cute child.
She subconsciously rubbed her cheek against Yang Hao's ear. But after noticing that her actions seemed too intimate and made the elf and the nun look like they were about to die, the god blushed and smiled awkwardly as she left Yang Hao's side.
She coughed twice and tried to explain, "This is just normal behavior as a mother," when there was a hurried knock on the door.
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Yang Hao's adjutant Barry.
He rushed into the lounge panting, and Elena, with a serious face, said faster than Barry:
The central area of the Roman Empire exploded.
Not only that…
The Ice Disaster in the north also has an activity at the same time.
It was heading south, and without incident.
When heading south, they will pass directly through Caparia. If they are not intercepted, the king of the elves will be destroyed.
Chapter 1: The Ice Plague, the Difficulties of Ishgard and... 8K
When the Ice Disaster in the north blossomed in the center of the Roman Empire, it also became active. It started from the north and slowly moved southward. If nothing unexpected happened, it would pass through the northern grasslands, through the edge of the Monster Forest, and finally directly pass through the Elf Forest, while stepping its iron hooves and ice and snow into the capital of the Elf Kingdom of Caparia, Fingal.
This is a huge event - putting aside the impact of the sudden explosion of the Roman Empire, putting aside the economic losses and casualties that the ice disaster will bring to the people and buildings along the way... Fingel is also the political and cultural center of Caparia, and now it is also the weapons research center of Caparia.
If Fingal is destroyed, it will be a huge loss for the United Nations that will take decades to recover.
When a normal country in this world faces this kind of thing, I guess everyone who receives the news, from top to bottom, will immediately fall into panic, right
But what Barry saw was that everyone except Her Highness Anna had a ready look on their faces, even His Majesty Finn, who should have been the most flustered.
Then Yang Hao waved his hand, signaling Barry to leave and inform his bureaucrats to prepare a response plan. Then he turned to look at Elena.
"I need to know what's happening with our two allies... Tell me everything our intelligence network knows. Elena, please."
"Affirmative." The synthetic puppet pointed at the picture. "Question: How detailed do you need to be?"
"The more detailed the better - everyone should get ready. By the way, Natalia... take Anna to have breakfast first? And ask the chefs to prepare one for us. Go ahead."
Knowing that all she could do was to help stabilize the people's hearts, Natalia smiled and stood up and prepared to leave under Yang Hao's gaze.
But before she left, she gently touched Yang Hao's forehead with her lips, which still made everyone who had entered the serious atmosphere stunned for a moment. And her action of rushing away with little Anna in her arms before anyone could react was even more unexpected.
Feeling the remaining warmth on his forehead and the inexplicable coldness coming from his wife, His Majesty Yang Hao laughed dryly and said under the dead-eyed gazes of the elves and nuns, "Let's focus on our work first, okay?"
Then he pretended not to notice Elena's quiet contemplation, and also pretended not to notice Nalujia's puffed-up face as she continued to take a nap on his lap. He patted the head of the Ling tribe on the back, and also lowered his head to look at the table in front of him and fell into deep thought.
The Ice Disaster's early action had long been expected by everyone, and the United Nations had already begun various construction work to deal with the Ice Disaster. The only problem was that they misjudged the direction of the Ice Disaster's attack, thus exposing Caparia directly to danger.
But this is not a hopeless mistake that cannot be undone.
(As long as we can prepare countermeasures and remedial measures in time, and build colossus weapons outside of Caparia...)
Yang Hao was thinking about how to deal with the situation, and at this moment, Elena suddenly came over from the side and distributed the files generated by the magic network in her hand to everyone one by one.
Why not just use the magic screen? Yang Hao was confused, and Lalumia noticed that this was a mistake made by the little synthetic doll [inadvertently], and this mistake was made entirely to get closer to Yang Hao...
She gave a meaningful smile, which made Elena a little stiff, and it was time for her to take a step back temporarily.
"Explanation: Currently, the Khutot Khanate and Isgard have fallen into chaos... It should be difficult for them to provide us with support, at least for the time being."
