Before he knew it, the smiling little elf had sat next to Yang Hao.
The maids also disappeared without a trace, and for the man, he was concentrating on thinking about the tactics of the decisive battle with the parish, and he had no energy to distract himself at this moment.
He was just thinking—it should be possible. But the parish was no fool.
It is one thing for the Redemption Army to rush into the Monster Forest all at once, but the main force of the diocese, with its huge numbers, will probably choose to set fire while marching... By then, the entire Monster Forest will be burned clean, and Finn's plan will be useless.
But it doesn't say that we can't create such conditions. After all, humans are not creatures that sit and wait for death. If possible, Yang Hao can think of a solution to the problem...
What should I do? Give the entire monster forest "water magic" to prevent it from burning
But if the magic power in the Monster Forest is consumed too much, the elf wizards will not be able to pose a threat to the parish...
Or in other words... let's put ourselves in their shoes.
As long as we kill all the priests with brains, won’t the priests without brains lead their teams directly into the Monster Forest to fight a jungle war with us
But expecting everyone to be stupid is too dependent on luck. It might be useful against the Roman Empire now, but what if we have to deal with the barbarians, Isgard, or even other countries in the future
Um…
Yang Hao fell into deep thought.
Finn, who was sitting nearby, just smiled and watched.
After a while, Yang Hao, who couldn't think of a solution for a while, could only say, this is a good idea - but let's talk about the demons.
"Demons? Haha, they are very well-behaved. They know who is protecting them. They will not cause trouble in the Elf Forest - but Your Majesty, Regent, you are going to take them in, right?"
"Yes. After all, we need population. We need more population. We also need more warriors. The demons are the best warriors, and their hatred for Roman is even higher than mine."
"If the little queen is treated like that, you will only wish that not enough Romans died."
"Maybe..."
The exact number of demons accepted by the elves is now around 72,000.
Among them, werewolves and cat people are the largest in number, bear people are relatively fewer in number, and the rarest are the members of the Ling tribe who, after sensing something was wrong, immediately followed the spiritual induction route of their own tribe and ran over.
There were about two hundred of them, but none of them were as strong as Naruga who could create golems on their own and control them precisely.
For this reason, Naruga directly became the leader of all the Ling people - after these Ling people joined Japaria and survived the initial chaos, they became members of the Golem Production Team.
They don't like conflict, and are particularly happy to find a place for themselves by making golems.
But dealing with werewolves, cat people, and bear people is much more troublesome.
These demons do not have the same spiritual connection as the Ling people, and are not able to integrate into the original tribe the fastest - they have many conflicts with each other.
The werewolves once competed with the cat-people for foraging areas, and the bear-people turned every place into a pool of muddy water in the spring.
At this moment, they had to unite together just because of their identity as refugees to deal with the possible catastrophic disaster that might come. However, if they wanted to completely unite as one, they would need the help of other forces.
Religion is a powerful force. Yang Hao knew long ago that Theresa had been secretly praying for the demons in St. Petersburg in the newly built chapel, and he also knew that she seemed to have a way to "cast miracles."
In a sense, she is actually the Saint of Light, so he knew that Theresa would definitely do something for the poor demons.
Because that's just how she is. She is always right and her tongue can cut flesh and pierce the heart, but secretly she is a little nun who can't bear to see normal, poor people suffer.
But even so, Yang Hao never thought of asking Theresa to make any contribution for him by ordering her.
As he had said to Theresa before—he had been willful with Theresa for too long.
He hoped that Theresa wanted to help the demons "a little bit" from the bottom of her heart, and not because she would do it because of his orders even if it was troublesome and annoying. After all, this was what Theresa deserved.
The two of them supported each other through the most difficult times, and it was only natural that they should respect each other and tolerate each other's shortcomings - although Yang Hao agreed that he owed her more.
"In fact, as long as the demons are willing to obey our orders, the Elf Forest will also treat them as its people."
Just as Yang Hao was thinking about the beauty of Theresa, Fen suddenly blew gently.
This made Yang Hao's whole body stiff. After hesitatingly responding a few times, a few drops of cold sweat flowed down his forehead.
After all, no matter how low his EQ was, he could understand Fen's hint.
As long as the demons are willing to listen to the orders of "you and me" - if Theresa were here, she would probably just start cursing, right
Using the public opinion of the demon tribe as an excuse, Yang Hao was forced to admit that he and Fen were on the same level and even had a close relationship...
By then, even if Yang Hao is unwilling, the elves will probably regard him as the father of the nation.
By then, who knows, with the stubbornness of the elves, no matter how much he wants to explain, he will never be able to get rid of the constraints that have inexplicably been added to his body...
After all, that's how elves are. Once they make up their mind about something, they will never give up.
He didn't want to do that! He had already thought about it. If the little queen and the chief judge were rescued by then, and the little queen was still willing to stay by his side, he would let the little queen call Theresa her stepmother... But Finn, you suddenly stabbed me in the back. What should I do with my future plans
In order to prevent Finn from going further into the topic, Yang Hao could only block Finn's dissatisfied expression by drinking water, and then laughed and talked about the changes in the elf society in the past ten days.
The emergence of the Gappa 1404 rifle caused a wave of change in Gapparia society.
Almost everyone was attracted by this magical rifle, and the elves soon discovered that the Japar 1404 rifle was as basic as a primitive bow among the types of "firearms".
Some elves worked day and night to discuss with their friends what improvements could be made to this rifle.
They discussed their ideas even faster than Yang Hao could design them himself, but the most unexpected one was Dr. Joseph.
Since arriving in Caparia, Dr. Joseph and his family have been obsessed with the elves' medical skills.
One day he heard an elf passing by talking about the power of the Gappa 1404. After learning a little about the situation out of curiosity, he suddenly said that if there were no accidents, the bullet's warhead would be the key to the damage - but from the perspective of ordinary creatures, the caliber of this gun seemed to be too large.
"This thing can smash half of a pig's body if it hits it! It's ridiculously overpowered!"
This was the conclusion Dr. Joseph came to after excitedly watching the elves conducting target practice.
After that, he discussed it with his new elf friend and they all agreed that they could reduce the caliber to make the gun lighter and able to carry more ammunition.
Conceived a weapon that can "fire continuously".
After all, Dr. Joseph is a simple doctor. He believes that it is his duty to save the world, but if he can quickly reduce the enemy's manpower on the battlefield, wouldn't it mean that the number of wounded on his side who need to go to the operating table will be greatly reduced
If the Gappa 1404 rifle could fire continuously and become a "shortbow" among firearms, then the enemy's casualties would surely increase to an unacceptable level, right
The enemy's casualties increased greatly, which meant that our own casualties decreased greatly. In the case that the weapons were not copied by the enemy, Mr. Joseph believed that his idea was feasible.
…
Then the doctor simply gave up his job and planned to go to Arthur, a subordinate of His Majesty Yang Hao, to discuss his ideas.
In the end, it was not known whether Arthur did it on purpose or his girlfriend did it on purpose. When Dr. Joseph came to Arthur's residence based on the intelligence, he saw Via standing guard outside the door with dead fish eyes, and Arthur being held down and fucked by the elf inside.
Because the scene was so shocking, Dr. Joseph is still confused about the elf's concept of marriage.
But let's say his idea reached the ears of the elven bow makers, and then those craftsmen who were originally skilled in bow making thought that this gun was a little too interesting.
They simply gave up their own jobs, gathered together and chattered, and even pulled Wei Ya, who was staring at them with dead eyes, over to discuss for a long time, and they came to a conclusion:
The caliber is reduced, which is feasible.
It is even more feasible to make guns and ammunition lighter overall.
The upgraded version of the Gappa 1404 variant is able to fire continuously, which is even more exciting.
But the question is, what kind of structure should be made? How should it be designed? When will the supply of bullets keep up with the consumption caused by continuous shooting of firearms
These are good questions…
After all, the bow makers knew the temper of the current regent: that man didn't like complicated things, so they had to come up with a simple design before they could put it on the table.
In this way, the bow makers simply abandoned their jobs before Finn's policy was issued.
They shook their heads and became "gunmakers", and the joyous changes they brought naturally affected every aspect of Caparia.
Passersby were talking about how the advent of guns would change the originally simple and boring archery competition.
Some elf merchants even cooked up gun-themed snacks and desserts—
Just eating the orange bullets gives people a headache... But the elves seem to be eating them happily.
But what surprised Yang Hao and Fen the most was the vitality shown by the elf society.
Vitality is the key to the reform of the Elf Kingdom!
If the Elf Kingdom was a pool of sweet, unchanging stagnant water at the beginning, then now it is the surging sea along the coast.
Although I don't know where the vitality shown now will take the elves... But, change means that the elves will not be abandoned by the times.
This is a good thing.
Fen smiled and said, "This is all thanks to your Majesty Yang Hao. In this case, what kind of reward should I give you?"
Yang Hao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: because Fen had no intention of letting him go. Her behavior was just to set a trap for him, so Yang Hao used Theresa as an excuse, saying that Theresa wanted him to go home early to rest tonight.
"How could that be? Miss Theresa just went to deal with the demons. Even if you go back now, she probably won't have dealt with it yet."
"that… "
Difficult spirits. Difficult nights.
Yang Hao was fighting a hard battle with Fen in defending and attacking the city.
On the other side, after obtaining Yang Hao's permission, the little nun in a good mood was on her way to the church.
At this moment, she suddenly felt the divine power feedback from St. Petersburg - it seemed that her previous efforts had worked
"For the time being, this is for your survival... so it is reasonable for me to use your image to give them "divine enlightenment", right?"
Theresa muttered quietly, praying for the light from the bottom of her heart, and muttered that if the "light" discovered her little trick after reviving, she might as well just slam the coffin lid to death...
But never mind…
I can provide these poor demons with a little spiritual comfort, even if it is just for my own self-satisfaction...
Theresa was really happy about this, even though she probably couldn't really do anything for them.
But at least she could let them die with hope.
"My bad dog. Let the Church of Light disappear from this world."
She prayed, took her holy book and the statue of light from the church, and then took a few elf guards with her and headed towards the gathering place of the demons.
At the same time, inside the Redemption Army’s position, the Redemption Army’s priest was discussing the next arrangements with the Redemption Army’s temporary general.
"We can't wait for the expeditionary force of the diocese! If we want to have more money, we must be one step ahead and enter the Monster Forest and the Elf Forest to plunder before the "decisive battle"! Otherwise, the money and glory will belong to the main force and have almost nothing to do with us!"
The priest angrily expressed his dissatisfaction with Bishop Stephen. Of course he was dissatisfied, because being a priest of the Redemption Army meant that when the main army officially launched an attack, the Redemption Army would not be able to snatch food from the main army, which meant that he would be the one who made the least money in this expedition.
Although pastors should not compete with each other for worldly wealth, it does not say that pastors cannot be greedy for money!
For the sake of money and status, the priest of the Redemption Army prepared to radically leave the patrol area of the main parish force and lead his 80,000 elites to directly attack the defense line of the Monster Forest on the 15th.
After all, according to his calculations, the elves should have used up half of their arrows by now—
If he rushed into the Monster Forest and engaged the elves in hand-to-hand combat while half of the arrows were unable to cause him much damage, he should be able to win a resounding victory.
The leader and staff of the Redemption Army, the bankrupt mayor of Scuol, kept nodding.
Because they already owed the parish thousands of gold coins. If they could not earn enough money from the Redemption Army, they would be faced with endless labor.
But there is still one problem - how to explain it to Bishop Stephen
The bankrupt village chief and the leader of the Redemption Army looked at each other, and finally, they both turned their gleaming eyes to the priest.
"But the Bishop..."
"Don't worry about it. He won't care as long as he has money. All we need is victory. Moreover, our Lord is watching over our operation this time. The elves are like a candle in the wind. Even with the help of that traitor, they can't stop us from moving forward."
The pastor's understatement made the bankrupt village chief nod his head repeatedly: "Yes, you are right! Yang Hao, I watched him grow up, of course I know what kind of people he and that white-haired wild child are...
Although he was able to achieve results in the Roman Empire under the leadership of the previous emperor, he absolutely could not improve the strength of the demon clan when he was alone with only a nun.
Not to mention, the demons don't even have weapons! How can they resist our attack! So, Pastor, I am willing to be your slave, just for the spoils of war..."
"I'll give you five more points. No more."
"Thank you, thank you! God of Light! Thank you for giving me this opportunity..."
When the bankrupt village chief heard this, he burst into tears of gratitude and almost knelt down in front of the pastor to kiss his boots.
The priest, on the other hand, looked up at the roof of the house.
His eyes were filled with confidence that his army was about to trample the monster forest.
