Chapter 267 Chapter 749 Rising
Chapter 267 Chapter 7.49 Rising
The Fengfu World is just a second-class planet, not very bright in the complex and intertwined time and space of the multiverse.
To be precise, the past was not bright enough, but the future~~~
Now with the promotion of the new gods on this planet, the gods in the Pantheon have begun to review the changes here at a high frequency.
The gods know that the changes here come from the influence of the extraterritorial universe.
The Earth civilization calls itself the main world, but the gods here think that their universe is the main world, and both sides are surprised by the other's existence.
For example, researchers on Earth are trying to adapt to the quantum environment and summarize the situation of life surviving in quantum tunneling.
The gods in the multidimensional plane are surprised that the highly uncertain mortal soul consciousness of the main world can be so powerful.
~
The souls of the parallel world in the ancient times of the Earth have always been stronger than ordinary people in the multidimensional plane. This can be seen from the projecting of the Mediterranean civilization here to fill the soul.
And the mere filling soul is only the lowest limit of the projection of the main world.
The consciousness of the Shangqing level, although its initial state of each projection is just the thinking of mortals, but the depth of the soul is stronger than the ancient dragon.
And now Wei Keng has refreshed the gods' understanding of earthlings.
~
So far, the soul of Carret, presided over by Wei Keng, is huge and brilliant, and still maintains the characteristics of mortal thinking.
Wei Keng has all the shortcomings of mortals such as love of money, food, lust, and unsteady stance in his daily choices. But when dealing with things in the realm of gods, he bursts out with strong and resolute qualities.
The supervisors' notes on Wei Keng: A gentleman loves money, and he never tires of fine food. A gentleman likes to pursue his ambitions, and the doctrine of the mean is not a big deal. And whether you can keep your integrity at the critical moment is the key to distinguishing mediocre people from sages.
The real difference between saints and mortals is not in daily life, but in the choice at the moment of landslides.
The mortals in the world of arcane look no different from the daily lives of earthlings.
But in the pursuit of greatness, the mortals of the arcane world can only pursue step by step along the established path, forever, so that they finally fit in with it.
Wei Keng, although in the mortal world, can grow into his own appearance.
~
If the "industrial" godhood is taken as Wei Keng's ultimate goal in this world, then perhaps only a part of Wei Keng can be shown now.
For example, now, how well Carrett has demonstrated his war wisdom!
The God of War likes this performance very much. ——This win is unprecedentedly beautiful. "One war is better than several wars" and "one year of fighting solves hundreds of years of continuous conflicts" are what the God of War of the Order Department appreciates most.
'Industry, science, and machinery' appeared in this posture, which made the gods of order and justice quite satisfied.
~
The perspective returns to the mortal world.
On the 27th, the large encirclement had been closed to the second day, and all the noble troops that were divided and surrounded outside the Danny cluster were annihilated.
These nobles endured the firepower that they should not have endured in this era.
In the mobile warfare of the United Industry, the mechanical war group of the Industrial Party provides firepower with self-propelled mortars. Compared with the big cities where the arcane masters gather, the gap between such firepower and that of the big cities may not seem so big.
But please note that this is for the United Industry to be able to have firepower support at any time when the armored corps assaults the field. ——How many arcane cities are there on the continent?
After the United Industry built the encirclement, it began to mobilize the rear productivity to the front line to fight the positional war. The "industrial" army had more than self-propelled mortars.
The current war happened to be next to the Xuanguang Industrial Zone, which was connected to various regions in the north by railways.
Within two days, the train transported 3,000 traction steam crossbows to the front-line firepower positions.
On the banks of the Xunfan River, the artillery commander of the Industrial Party, after the signal flag passed, more than a thousand crossbows lined up in a 20-kilometer long line and fired at the kingdom army on the opposite side who tried to build a barrier to resist stubbornly.
~
On the night of the 26th, the breastworks of the nobles in the outer encirclement were densely covered by 100,000 crossbows. They saw crossbows falling from the sky like a meteor shower, and then bursting out flames, lightning, frost, acid mist and various magical effects. The hastily built earthen walls were blown into rubble like a sand castle.
The materials prepared by these industrial parties 83 years later to prevent the repeated rebellion of the sea tribe fell on the kingdom ten years later.
When the infantry cluster began to advance, the crossbows switched from free shooting to barrage.
Then rows of warheads exploded, protecting the tanks and infantry of the industrial troops forward.
After the dense fall of crossbows, the arcane mages who built magic defenses on the side of the kingdom army fled first, which brought a lot of chaos. Only a few war puppets continued to resist without knowing whether to live or die.
These rock-textured puppet giants were first penetrated by fire crossbows and burned hot by flame magic.
The elemental penetration effect makes heating rocks like heating food in a microwave.
Then the crossbow with frost magic was inserted.
Between the cold and the hot, the huge granite lost its arcane luster and shattered.
After breaking through the barrier, the lightning crossbow blasted into the kingdom army. When it fell, it turned into twenty poles inserted into the ground covering a range of more than 100 meters. There were flashes of lightning, which bounced between the poles, and chains of lightning that shocked all the standing people and made them twitch all over.
This was an expensive siege weapon a hundred years ago. The price of one arcane crossbow was two gold coins, and some large-scale battles on the continent would be quite powerful if they fired dozens of rounds.
And now, thousands of cannons are firing at the same time. The consumption of one round of the kingdom army is unimaginable, and each crossbow fired seven rounds!
The various energy tunnels on the land fluctuated, making the nobles in these agricultural areas feel dead.
A few years ago, the kingdom rebelled, and the resistance army in the south fought back and forth with the kingdom troops with rune bullets. The northern industrial zone explained that these were rune cards illegally prepared by civilian apprentices. The kingdom did not believe it at the time.
Today, let them experience what kind of firepower the industry really wants to fight them!
~
In terms of productivity, the northern industrial territory now has a million regular rune preparation divisions. This war started the most advanced supply chain, with intermediate rune divisions responsible for the industrial production of vehicles and carriers, and primary rune divisions supplying the production of guns, artillery and armor.
For example, the runes of heat conduction, from the first ring energy level to the third ring energy level, have different workshops to batch complete the parts needed for vehicles, aircraft, and rockets.
Heat storage is another rune, which is also completed by another batch of workshops. Finally, assemble and combine.
The northern industrial leader uses materials to build arcane items. The release process of an arcane requires the cooperation of multiple runes. For example, the fireball requires thirty-four runes. (The revolver also has dozens of parts)
The north is equivalent to millions of people producing parts enchanted with standard runes, and then quickly and efficiently assemble them.
On the other hand, traditional arcane masters know a lot, but it is difficult to master them comprehensively, let alone be proficient in all links.
Therefore, in the entire industrial production chain, the production efficiency of each rune preparation master in the industrial leader is no less than that of traditional junior arcane masters. Even under unified tools, the production speed is three to four times that of them.
Therefore, before this, the mortals in the world could not imagine the concept of industrialized firepower at all. But now they know it.
[In fact, even if they fight alone in spellcasting ability, most junior rune masters are now not inferior to traditional mages. After entering the industrial age, rune masters can easily purchase other rune parts in the industrial chain, and then assemble them into individual magic devices, using the runes they are most familiar with to pry other runes. In this process, the runes they are familiar with are their triggers. 】
~
In the twenty hours from the 26th to the 27th, 180,000 noble soldiers in the south gathered into a group and raised their flags to surrender in the face of the threat of industrial bayonets and artillery.
At this moment, only the main force surrounded by eight regiments of the industrial army and tens of thousands of temporary militias remained.
Helicopters spewing white smoke were in the sky, hoisting the flags of the families of the outer regiments one by one, and smashing them directly in front of the kingdom army that had not surrendered. These flags were carefully kept by the nobles who led the army, and now they were all thrown over, which meant that they had been annihilated.
The United Industrial loudspeaker also persuaded them to surrender in a timely manner: You have failed, you are short of food and clothing, shivering in the cold wind, and you have no choice but to surrender. The reinforcements you were counting on have been eliminated one by one by us. Who else can you count on? There are no extra troops in the capital of Eger to save you.
Under the influence of the victim complex, the messy-haired Prince Danny and a group of royal nobles who did not tidy up their appearance thought that the flag-throwing in the air and the scar-revealing shouts from the loudspeakers were naked humiliations to themselves.
As a descendant of the Xingche family, he did not accept such humiliation and was determined to lead the Earth Dragon Knights to fight the last battle.
After mounting his mount and looking at the steel city and town composed of clusters of steel tanks outside the encirclement in front, Danny's mind flashed the thought of "I'm going to die here".
But just when he decided to fight to the death, the space formation of the royal capital appeared in the kingdom army, bringing the latest will of the royal capital, - the royal capital ordered Danny and other knights to lay down all weapons and surrender.
~
At noon on the 27th,
Carret, as a nine-ring great arcane master, noticed that the space blockade had been broken. The kingdom sent an arcane master to enter the interior.
Of course, Carrett did not give them a breakthrough for nothing. He calculated along the spatial traces and directly took down the outer caster.
The kingdom's seven-ring high-level arcanist Yue Na was directly phase-converted.
In order to break through the spatial blockade, this arcanist also entered the etheric world to build a spatial bridge, which gave Wei Keng a chance.
After he was detained, he saw Carrett and his expression paused.
In the towering dome building on the scene, thousands of magic circles were floating around Carrett, filling the entire hall, and Carrett himself was mobilizing these magic circles like typing on a keyboard.
Yue Na recognized that this was the ability of a high-level mage, and he, who was also pursuing the path of truth, couldn't help but feel bitter at the corners of his mouth.
But in the end, he forced himself to understand the reality: Carrett was the son of God chosen by the gods, and all this was not surprising.
For this arcanist, Wei Keng still gave him due treatment, gave him a seat, and served him a pot of hot tea.
This bowl of tea was made with a potion mixing tool. The rich vitality is condensed in the water, and the runes on the tea cup and the barrier formed by the mist condensed at the mouth of the cup can prevent the vitality from leaking out.
This has the effect of a mana potion. It is a luxury item - a special treat for high-level rune masters. Of course, it is considered thoughtful to use it to entertain this arcane master.
~
Carret: "Mr. Yuena, if you refuse to cooperate, we will still guarantee your life and basic dignity as a mage. But I still hope to get some effective information from you."
Yuena: "Your Majesty, Carret, the mages of Eger can understand your advice."
In Eger, Carret likes to persuade in conflicts and will fulfill his promises after persuading. But this war proves that if you ignore such persuasion blindly, it is like ignoring the trap of the "Devil's Contract".
Yuena quickly explained that the purpose of this space transmission was to send an envoy to ask the Kingdom Army to surrender.
Carrett was very surprised: "If you surrender, why do you spend so much money to attack the space defense? Just negotiate with us and we will let you in." (Just now, he wanted to bypass the space blockade of United Industries and enter the encirclement without saying hello.)
Yuena added: "His Highness Danny cannot surrender. He needs space teleportation to be taken out of the encirclement."
Carrett nodded: "Yes, surrender with dignity."
Carrett raised his hand, took out the tip of the pen and began to sketch three-dimensional runes in the air. In the end, these complex magic runes condensed on the card.
Carrett handed the card to Yuena: "You can take 40 people away, and no more are allowed. You are not a combatant. You should be detained, warned and punished for trespassing in the combat zone this time, but you can be released in view of your good attitude."
Yuena gave Carrett a magician's salute, and then said: "I hope to see His Highness's coronation ceremony in the capital as soon as possible."
Carrett smiled when he saw him slowly disappear.
Wei Keng whispered: "Coronation? For the pursuit of truth, the crown is a burden."
~
On September 28, in this North-South War, the last core legion of the Royal Capital was annihilated, and the Knight Commander of the Royal Capital Knights, Bowen (Sky Knight), led the Kingdom Legion to accept the defeat.
[This Knight Commander was not in the army before, but was airdropped by the Royal Capital to take the blame. Wei Keng expressed deep sympathy for him and did not humiliate him. ]
The triangular aircraft landed in front of the knight holding the griffin.
When Carret took the sword of the Kingdom Army from the Knight Commander, it indicated that a new era had begun.
The Northern Industry began to deal with the situation in the South.
In terms of legal system, all the nobles in this war were tried, but their ruling structure could not be broken at once.
The population data and land management of the agricultural areas in the South are still under the control of the people headed by the nobles. If you want to deprive these nobles of their fiefdoms all at once, a large number of farmland barren disasters may occur.
There is a limit to the trial!
What the industrial leaders want to suppress is not individual nobles, but the family forces behind them, which is the foundation of their politics and economy.
How to do it?
Master Wei: "Enfeoffment Order, Intermarriage Order."
~
For nobles who own more than five hectares of land, their direct descendants need to be assessed by the Northern School in natural sciences and production management before inheritance. Determine whether they are qualified to inherit.
If multiple heirs meet the standards, they can participate in the distribution of fiefs at the same time. The distribution standard is not less than five hectares. If the amount of land of the lord is not enough, the number of places can be reduced.
~
Enfeoffment Order: In this land where nobles are generally supported by their families, they will definitely encounter dissatisfaction from the elders. ——Because such division will definitely reduce the authority of the nobles in the local area.
But they failed in the war and disagreed with this model of selecting heirs, ——then you don't want the whole land. Hundreds of thousands of troops have been defeated, and it is natural to directly remove the titles of several great nobles! If the rights of several great nobles are not removed, then the nobles in the south will have to accept the policy of sharing the defeat. Then let's see which great noble can sacrifice for everyone to defend the tradition.
The great noble quickly handed over the list of legitimate sons, and the Industrial Party checked with other nobles.
Then they asked for a list of legitimate daughters. Master Wei: "In this battle, my knights in the north need to get married and start a family."
(Note: Those who were included in the Temple of God by Wei Keng are not on the list of intermarriage. Industry needs fairness. If you have a perspective of looking at industry, you should not leave sediment in the secular world. In Wei Keng's industrial concept, feudal families are the enemy of industrial order.)
The knights that Wei Keng wants to help are all born in humble families. The lowest-born are the sons of free men such as gardeners and blacksmiths, who are used to dilute the power of the great nobles.
Intermarriage order: unilaterally curb the power of the nobles. They will counterattack, but if there is a channel for them to re-intervene in the ruling power, then the counterattack will be much less powerful. These poor knights in the industrial territory will be promoted to governors in various places, and Master Wei has to make arrangements for them.
In the future, the school officers and governors of the northern industrial territory will be selected from public examinations. These nobles of Eger must prepare more virtuous noble ladies. Otherwise, the scepter of power will not be stable.
~
Carrett made clear arrangements for the future of the defeated nobles and left a complete set of plans for gradual progress for his successors.
The Industrial Party has gradually taken over the governance of half of the Kingdom of Eger. ——Last year's rain was not enough, and the United Industry still had to fulfill its promise to promote cassava planting.
Such a war drained the resources of half of the agricultural areas of the Kingdom of Eger. The victor must be held responsible for this.
~
November 3
Carrett met the envoy from the capital of Eger at the mechanized farming site of Southern Agriculture, and pointed to the tilled land behind him. He said, "I'm busy right now. Also, please tell Eger to tell my nephew a message for me: 'Failure is the mother of success, don't give up.'"
