Chapter 291 The Olympian Empire and the Devil Breaker Golem

The short-term occupation of Aedirn frightened several other countries. Richard did not plan to launch another attack in the short term, as he did not have enough manpower to control the country.

If he could not control it, the territory he had conquered would only be data on paper, which looked good but was actually useless.

Richard did not let go of the towns that surrendered in the Kingdom of Aedirn. He directly ordered all the people in the town to be beheaded. Don't think this is cruel. In fact, in this era of barbarism, ignorance, and the dim light of civilization, this is the law of the times.

Kindness is a good quality, but it will only be regarded as cowardice here. If they can surrender without being punished, they will do it without hesitation. So they must be given enough deterrence. Tender words will not get their respect. The witch is an example of this. Only the butcher's knife can do it.

After the occupation of all Aedirn, the Kingdom of Aedirn became a thing of the past. Richard officially changed Aedirn to the United Empire of Offa. Other countries around are watching coldly or making defensive preparations.

As the capital of the Offa Empire, Eisenland is now on the right track. Ye Funi, a member of the Witch Mutual Aid Association, is working in the original city lord's office.

No, it should be called the CEO's office.

Now Ye Funi is not only the CEO of Eisenland, but also the CEO of the Offa Empire. She is also the vice president of the Witch Mutual Aid Association and an important assistant to Richard.

When Richard is busy with experimental research, she needs to handle various affairs on his behalf.

Just after the Offa Empire occupied Aedirn, the Offa Empire Witch Academy was established as soon as possible. However, the witch academy established this time is fundamentally different from the previous female sorcerer academy.

Not only is the scale of the academy several times larger, but the content of learning has also been greatly changed. The main content is some knowledge taught by Richard, and Richard serves as the principal of the witch academy.

At this time, Ye Funi is wearing a loose wizard robe and sitting in the office to handle some official documents.

The wizard robe has been redesigned and improved, showing her perfect figure with bumps and curves to the fullest. The witches made improvements to the wizard robes, such as waist-tightening, and added a beautiful phoenix mark on the chest, with flames burning on the phoenix.

Coupled with her already beautiful face and the temperament she had just cultivated, her charm rose sharply, and the effect of the dragon veins also appeared on her body, making her more like a poppy with fatal attraction and as beautiful as an angel.

She is now the strongest witch and the sister of all witches.

A knock on the door sounded.

"Come in."

Ye Funi's cold voice sounded, and then the whole person leaned back slightly and sat on the chair, changed to a more comfortable posture, and looked at Joseph Rune who opened the door.

This person was originally the secretary of Esenland. Although Esenland was ruled by the city lord and nobles before, he actually handled the specific affairs. After Richard and others came here, Joseph surrendered immediately. After seeing his good management level, Richard continued to use him.

These days, many witches are learning to handle government affairs from him. As for loyalty, there is no need to worry. Richard has already given him a psychological hint. Not long ago, his daughter awakened her witch talent and joined the witch mutual aid association. In this way, he has no way out and no need to worry.

In fact, his daughter awakened her witch talent because she, Ye Funi, deliberately "helped" her. For thousands of years, they have studied the conditions for witch awakening and witch talents, and can roughly judge whether they have the opportunity to become witches. Her approach is just to increase the probability of awakening.

"What's the matter? Archon Joseph?" Ye Funi glanced at him and continued to be busy.

She is very busy now. Taking over a kingdom at once, there are not enough qualified officials, and many things can only be handled by her. However, with the completion of the training of those witches, she can assign more than 80% of the things, and then she will have enough time to study magic.

"Lord Ye Funi! The witch academy outside the city has basically been built. When will you go to inspect it?"

Yoseph looked at the girl in front of him and lowered his head. Now he has completely recognized the reality. The rise of witches is unstoppable and the world is going to change.

"I know!" Ye Funi didn't know if it was possible. During this period of time, she had sent witches to various places to search for talented girls and bring them back.

In the past, due to various reasons, many girls who awakened their talents had no chance to go to the witch school. Now Ye Funi would naturally not let it go.

"How is the construction of the palace going?" Ye Funi asked.

"The palace is still under construction. You know, most of the slaves have been asked by His Majesty to go to the mines. We don't have enough manpower," Joseph said nervously.

Ye Funi nodded and said, "A batch of slaves will be allocated this month. I will give them to you and complete the construction of the palace as soon as possible."

"If there is not enough stone, tear down those useless churches and castles. It can also be regarded as waste utilization."

What church are you talking about? It is naturally the Zoroastrian church. Although it has been burned, the church was built with a lot of stone. Do you think it is so easy for witches to take revenge? Women are not very cunning, and witches are even more so. In the future, witches may set up a magic cult.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge ten years later, but witches take revenge from morning to night.

Now Zoroastrianism and even other sects that are unfriendly to witches have been banned, and Zoroastrianism has become a wanted criminal.

After the establishment of the United Empire of Austrian Law, Richard abolished the checkpoint tax, city gate tax and many other messy taxes between various places, and integrated them into commercial taxes. In other words, in the entire Austrian Empire, only one tax needs to be paid.

The reduction in taxes naturally makes business very prosperous. The Austrian Empire is located in the central area of ​​the continent. The reduction in taxes has rapidly increased the number of merchants coming to trade. Even if several other countries are accumulating strength and secretly connecting with each other, they want to attack the Austrian Empire together, but they cannot stop those merchants from coming.

The northern countries and the Kingdom of Nilfgaard in the south have stopped their hostility. They have been secretly communicating for some time. In particular, Zoroastrianism is trying to connect the countries on the continent. They plan to unite to deal with witches and the United Empire of Austrian Law.

At the same time, each country is also seizing the time to study their own extraordinary powers, and anti-magic metals are also produced in large quantities, and they are used to make more powerful weapons.

Heavy crossbows and crossbows are being produced more and more. At the same time, the Church of the Eternal Fire has begun to try to install anti-magic bombs on crossbows to increase the attack range.

They believe that witches have mastered the art of flying and can cast spells from a high position. Magic bombs have basically lost their effect, so they use crossbows to launch magic bombs and explode them in the air to interfere with the witches' spells.

Under the transformation of the magic power of the Church of the Eternal Fire, it has begun to show results. At the same time, they began to train more knights to protect the church, and other countries have done the same.

These countries wiped out the Demon Hunter Academy and obtained the training method of demon hunters from the Demon Hunter Academy. After the improvement, each country also has a lot of extraordinary power.

Their improved training method has greatly improved safety and a success rate of 80% to 90%, but their strength is not as good as that of demon hunters, and they have no ability to cast spells.

However, for countries that win by quantity, this method is more cost-effective. How many demon hunters are there? These countries can train thousands of them.

While the Offa Empire was busy digesting the spoils, other countries on the continent were also actively preparing for war, and at the same time sent many spies to spy on intelligence. After discovering that the trade here was prosperous, these countries came as merchants.

After experiencing a war, the Offa Empire not only did not wither, but became extremely prosperous. At the border pass, a large number of caravans were waiting to enter. In cities everywhere, porters and caravans were in an endless stream.

After destroying those nobles, the witches obtained a huge amount of money, and coupled with Richard's request to replan the city, they spent money like water for a while. The demand for various materials increased sharply.

Those merchants swarmed in like ants smelling sweetness.

The production of anti-magic metals in the Offa Empire is very low, after all, the mineral deposits here are not rich. After issuing a bounty, merchants from other countries began to transport anti-magic metals in various ways.

Even though these countries have banned the sale of anti-magic metals, there are still a large number of merchants who transport anti-magic metals to the Offa Empire.

For merchants, as long as there is enough profit, there is nothing they dare not do. No one who dares to fight against a transnational caravan these days is timid.

Many times when encountering other caravans in the wild, if they find that the other party is not strong enough, these merchants who were merchants a second ago will become full-time bandits in a minute.

As for whether these merchants are afraid of being punished by various countries when they go back? Don't be ridiculous, which of these merchants does not have nobles behind them? Many caravans are completely the white gloves of the nobles.

If you dare to investigate, you will be stabbed in the back and hang yourself that night.

Even the kings of various countries know about this situation, but they can only turn a blind eye. Otherwise, do you have to fight with those great nobles first?

After obtaining a large amount of anti-magic metal, Richard prepared to make a magic breaker golem. Originally, the magic breaker golem was specially used to deal with spellcasters. It relied more on magic defense runes and magic immunity shields to weaken magic.

Now with anti-magic metal, if they are made into magic breakers, their defense ability against magic will be improved again, and it is very likely to reach the level of complete immunity.

Richard was going to use anti-magic metal to make the Devil Breaker, so the purity of the anti-magic metal he was going to use had to be very high.

The level of metal smelting in this world was very low, and even the steel with the most mature smelting technology had very poor quality. The anti-magic metals Richard had obtained had the highest purity of only 70%, and most of them had a purity of 50% or even 30%.

So it had to be purified, and Richard's requirement was to purify it to 99.999%. He had already experimented with anti-magic metals, and the higher the purity, the better the anti-magic effect, and the higher the resistance to magic.

If this level was reached, ordinary spells could be immune to 90% of the power, and even to legendary spells. At the same time, there was some resistance to the power of the domain.

Many times, when facing enemies at the god level, there was no need to fight at all. They could open the domain and directly change the rules to abolish most of the attacks. However, this anti-magic gold attribute could still maintain its basic state. Although the magic resistance became very low, it could still move and attack.

This ability is very difficult, just like the battles between the Arcane Empire and the Spider Queen Rose. Ordinary legendary golems in her domain were easily "crushed" into scrap metal by Rose using the power of her domain.

This situation also occurred when the Arcane Empire fought against the gods. Only those legendary golems that formed their own energy positions with the help of the powerful energy of the floating city could resist.

Later, the Supreme Arcane Council improved the golem structure, and high-level legendary golems all had high-energy particle energy shields.

Richard planned to use this anti-magic metal to make an anti-magic coating, and at the same time engraved runes on it to upgrade the legendary golem. High-level steel golems use anti-metal coatings with lower purity.

Richard purified those anti-magic metals with insufficient purity. After some experiments, he successfully completed 99.999% purification in the laboratory. However, the laboratory can only purify in small batches, so after optimizing the purification process, Richard planned to build a purification factory by hand.

It is easy to smelt anti-magic metals with low purity, but it is difficult to smelt them with high purity. The first step is to build a smelting plant to smelt the ore into anti-magic metal.

Then it will be refined twice. According to the design requirements, this smelting plant can smelt anti-magic metal with a purity of 90% in batches.

Next, there is a complicated and tedious purification process. This set of processes requires a lot of magic technology and can only be controlled by Richard himself. Fortunately, this purification mode can be controlled in large quantities.

In order to purify this metal in batches, Richard plans to build a wizard tower here and let the tower spirit perform fully automatic control and purification. After making the design blueprint, Richard asked people to build the infrastructure, and the key equipment in the smelter still needs him to rub it manually.

Richard has been in charge of Wengerburg during this period, letting others sweep the country, but he is not indifferent to the outside world. He knows very well that other countries on the continent are preparing for war, but he doesn't care. No matter how those people prepare, facing the Phoenix will have the same result.

After the Austrian Empire completes the integration and trains qualified soldiers and managers, it will completely push the world.
