Utopia Officially Becomes a Terra Powerhouse! / Presenting Loyalty to the Master!
Of course, to avoid being scolded by Master Huang for bullying others, Warfarin has always played the role of giving orders since she became the Blood Demon Lord.
Furthermore, the former Blood Demon Lord Dukare even made a harsh statement. "You might have a way out if you offend me, but if you dare to offend Miss Warfarin..."
This caused a lot of trouble for the Blood Demon demons below, Warfarin had no psychological pressure at all in order to command these vampires.
After all, for Dukare, Miss Warfarin was his future boss.
If you don't try to please him now, you'll be in trouble with Master Huang in the future.
As the Minister of Finance, Dukare often makes things difficult for Big Trump by frequently cutting off the military budget.
He knows that feeling all too well! It's simply irresistible!
Chapter 256 Utopia Officially Becomes a Powerful Nation in Terra!
Furthermore, since Warfarin was the first person to establish a relationship with Master Huang, her management skills, influenced by what she saw and heard, were not bad at all, at least a little better than Dukare's.
In any case, Dukare used to adopt a laissez-faire policy towards his people, so the Blood Demon Royal Court was essentially a semi-primitive, semi-feudal society.
Dukare originally intended to take charge, but not long after the idea was conceived, he was appointed as the finance minister by his friend Trump.
So we had to put the matter aside until Warfarin arrived and things changed.
"Why are those Blood Demon arranged like this? They're more like plants than living beings, lying in coffins for hundreds of years."
Warfarin didn't care about any of that; she even dug up a lot of Blood Demon that were waiting in the grave.
As for not wanting to wake up?
Even if you don't want to wake up, you should wake up once you throw yourself into the sun. After all, Blood Demon isn't a real vampire.
I just don't like the sun.
Warfarin, with great understanding, expressed her feelings towards these elders who were all older than herself:
Do you know that Kazdel is currently in dire need of high-quality cattle and horses?
"A bunch of good-for-nothings, how could they lose to this?"
Meanwhile, in Ursus, far away, some were happy while others were sad.
Especially that black snake.
Koschei: I'm really about to break down.
This devastating defeat has completely drained the treasury of Ursus, leaving it utterly depleted.
Furthermore, the long-standing contradictions can no longer be released through external warfare.
However, Ursus has its own unique circumstances.
The grey nobles of Ursus declared, "The taxes aren't heavy enough; they have the money to rebel!"
However, Black Serpent did not see this as a good omen. The bears had taken the country from the Gryphon, but they did not truly consider the land their own.
They treated the people extremely harshly, especially the rural areas at the bottom of society that lost central control after the establishment of Mobile City, which were greatly impacted.
With all administrative agencies moved to the Mobile City, bandits can act more recklessly in the wild, even committing crimes under the guise of official authority.
At the same time, Emperor of Ursus also sensed the crisis, and the northern army groups gradually began to stir.
They attempted to alleviate ethnic tensions on their side by using the title of emperor.
The conflict between the Northern Army Group and Ursus Central Command has been brought to the forefront, and the local populace is also caught up in the tension.
The black snake, caught in the middle, was helpless.
Helping is one problem, not helping is another.
The civil war hasn't even started yet, but Black Serpent can already imagine the hell that Ursus will be plunged into when it does.
The public also urgently needs a channel to vent their inner dissatisfaction, and under conditions of material scarcity, they can only vent their emotions.
But this would be tantamount to wasting Ursus's internal national strength.
What Black Serpent didn't know was that even if Ursus won this war, the rebellion of the Northern Army Group would not change in any way.
Ultimately, this rebellion was simply because the lower classes couldn't survive; in the original story, it was because various nobles wanted to further seize power.
One is passive, the other is active.
If they could, the Northern Army Group of Ursus would not want to rebel at this time.
However, the emperor was also short of funds after the defeat in the war, so he thought of recouping the losses from the land in the north.
But where can we find oil to extract these days?
If they were to exploit the Northern Army Group to the point of exhaustion, it would inevitably lead to a significant decline in the army's military strength, and it would certainly be annexed by the imperial power.
Since we're going to die anyway, we might as well take this opportunity to make a big move.
At least that's what the army groups in the north think.
Koschei felt troubled precisely because the defeat in the Ursus War had led to the loss of imperial power, and the two sides were now evenly matched in terms of fighting strength.
In the original storyline, Ursus, as one of the victorious nations, received a share of Gaul's legacy.
No matter how much the army groups devoured, it could never surpass the power of a centralized government, which greatly strengthened the central authority of Ursus.
This altered the course of history, as the strengthened central government was able to defeat the northern army groups, thus enabling the country to embark on a path of greater industrial power.
But now, no one in Ursus has benefited even a little bit; in fact, they have suffered heavy losses due to the war.
None of the preconditions were met.
"What to do? What to do? What to do? What to do..."
The upper classes are no longer capable of thinking. Koschei alone cannot hold back the Northern Army Group, not even if he were the Black Serpent.
Not everyone knew about the existence of the Inner Guards, and the young army marshal was completely unaware of how terrifying these monsters were.
However, due to the need to guard against the Demons in the north, these monsters are only mobilized when the country is in an emergency.
But they've already fought to the point of madness, so what's the point of ending the war?
In the end, all that remained was ruins.
After pondering for three days and three nights, the Black Serpent finally came up with a solution that was hardly a solution at all.
Find a way to bring in a third-party force to cooperate with His Majesty, so that they can completely annihilate the army group through a coordinated attack from within and without.
However, this method is very difficult to implement and carries great risks; Ursus might be wiped out in the next few years.
"If we don't do this, and both sides end up losing badly, Victoria and Kazimierz will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity, and even Yan Country might interfere."
Ursus will be truly finished then.
The black snake could not be called a loyal subject; what it loved was the people of this land.
However, war will inevitably cause great damage to this land it loves so much.
Why do we have to fight and kill each other? Why can't we be like our neighbor Yan Country...?
Well, it seems that Yan Country is not peaceful these days either.
Having passed through his prime, the True Dragon gradually became confused, but even knowing that he was confused, he still did not intend to pass the throne to the crown prince.
Before long, this country will also be engulfed in a bloodbath, and it is even possible that Ursus will be targeted in an attempt to divert attention from other problems.
Therefore, the civil war in Ursus absolutely cannot break out at this time.
But who should we bring in?
Meanwhile, the Emperor of Ursus, who had suffered a defeat, also felt extremely bad.
But it was precisely because of this that the young emperor discovered the flaws in his country.
Administrative efficiency is extremely low, almost non-existent.
Incomplete industrialization meant that during wartime, everything was lacking except for manpower, and the construction of the army was also highly problematic.
The shame of imperialism is not something to be taken lightly.
Therefore, the Emperor of Ursus decided to implement reforms and rectify official corruption.
But how should the reform be carried out, from top to bottom or from bottom to top?
Moreover, where will the funds for reform and development come from? Ursus, having lost the war, is now completely broke.
Since there's no way to solve the problem domestically, we'll have to try external methods, so we need to find ways to bring in external resources...
"Utopia, Kazimierz, these two countries..."
Had it not been for the defeat in the Gaul Wars, Ursus today could certainly be considered a wise and capable ruler.
He had already prepared to divide the spoils even before the war began.
They also planned to give a large slice of the pie to the lower classes and use this opportunity to carry out industrialization reforms.
Then Ursus will be able to truly become powerful, rather than just becoming a strong nation based on its size.
This is why, in Talulah's time, the current Emperor of Ursus is remembered fondly by many nobles and commoners.
Unfortunately, everything was messed up.
This wise ruler, who should have been remembered in history, has now become a demon who oppresses his own people.
Even the high-pressure environment in the country has affected the health of the current Emperor of Ursus.
This war changed many things, and the only real beneficiaries, besides Victoria, were Utopia.
Another week has passed.
After Huang Cao had completely finished dealing with the affairs of Tania and Gaul, he ordered his army to prepare to return home.
Dozens of High-speed Battleship raised clouds of dust that blotted out the sky over the plain.
Accompanied by the resounding and majestic national music of Utopia, these steel Great Beast have left a significant mark on this land.
As everyone expected, countries around the world have included this war, in which there were only two victors, in their history books.
Whether it's positive or negative.
No one can ignore the influence of utopia on the world.
Countless eyes are watching this country's every move, because it is far more powerful than Gaul.
Chapter 257 Offering Loyalty to the Master!
Terra Calendar 1025.
When Huang Cao led his Utopian army back victorious, he also brought his advanced ideas and systems to the conquered regions.
This was referred to by later generations as the beginning of the Golden Age.
Of course, none of this matters to Master Huang now. He just wants to lie down for a few years and enjoy being Noble Lord for a while.
He was exhausted after a year of being away on campaign.
A Kaitian Cat can't relieve the pressure on him.
The fleet was immediately welcomed by all the people upon its return to the main territory of Utopia.
Meanwhile, the ship also contains the remains of more than a dozen soldiers, and it is time for them to return to their homeland.
These warriors were not blessed with Abundance, and even their heavy armor could not withstand the Gaul cannons.
Master Huang's logistical support system is very complete. With the blessing of Power of Abundance, as long as someone is still conscious, they can generally be saved.
But some people are really unlucky.
At the same time, it is also inevitable that such a thing will happen: when charging forward, someone will be hit in the face by a shell and be blasted to smithereens along with their heavy armor. Even a god could not save them in such a situation.
In the game, city defense cannons can't kill a heavily armored operator with high health, but that might not be the case in reality.
After being hit in the face by Gaul cannonball, Huang Cao was beyond saving and was immediately returned to Originium.
Unless the person in question happens to be with Master Huang, perhaps he can still unleash a wave of Abundance spells.
As long as you still have your head, it's not impossible to survive, but how can you have time during a charge?
If we don't quickly cripple the enemy's command system, even more soldiers will sacrifice themselves.
