In a sense, the City of Hovela had now become Roddy's "private territory".
He was bound to the "Viper's Kiss" Sally and was the master of the artifact. At the same time, he could also control and use the divine power. Therefore, the floating City of Hovela that relied on the "divine power" had also become a creation under Roddy's control.
After a few days of modification, Rody had completely transformed the circular 'floating city' with a diameter of more than four hundred meters into a true 'aerospace carrier'. On its surface, there were two runways for aircraft to take off and land. At the same time, there was a large command center built at the original location of the Mar 'halla Temple. At the same time, there was also an improved communication circle built to allow for future battles and communication with the various armies.
The lower half of the entire city was jointly transformed by the Black Dragon Herrlöw Clan and the Crystal Dragons. Now it was covered with pieces of silver "mithril". This was directly transported from a nearby underground mine after refining it with magic. Tens of thousands of silver mirrors were pieced together not for the sake of appearance, but for the high-level defense circle built by the Dragons. Once someone from below tried to attack the city by force, middle-grade spells and ordinary ballista attacks would be directly bounced off.
Because although the City of Hovela was maintained by the divine power, it could only have two functions: "invisibility" and "movement". Roddy asked Windsor what was the original state of this place, and the answer he got was: "When the city was found, it was floating in the air."
Why this city disappeared in history, and why it had always been floating in the air, from beginning to end, there was no definite answer. But now, Roddy was more willing to believe that all this was not a coincidence.
Without clues, Roddy did not continue to explore the secret behind it. He built barracks and various supporting infrastructure in another part of the floating city. Most importantly, Roddy had people reserve a circle of battery bases at the edge of the city.
The base was similar to a unified standard groove. Whether it was the giant rechargeable crystal cannon at the top of the Pasha Magic Tower in Elsen City or the "ballistic missiles" newly developed by the research department in the future, they could all be placed here for launch.
With the height of the floating city, Roddy believed that no human country could stop the attack of the "Aerospace Mothership".
After making all the arrangements, he used the City of Hovela as his mount and flew towards Rasha City. In the next few days in Dister City, the enthusiasm of the commoners to worship the temple did not cool down at all. Instead, it became more and more popular.
High Priestess Udora was now busier than anyone else. No one questioned the position of King Sally, but the problem was that she did not care about anything at all, unlike Talia who had previously held onto power tightly.
Therefore, when everything was on Udora and her staff, not only did they have to take care of the people's livelihood, but they also had to deal with the "trade" with the Kallon Kingdom and the "armistice agreement" with Lachman. All of these made her extremely busy.
As the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Karen, Roddy naturally had to adhere to the principle of "since I'm here, I can't go back empty-handed". Now, he had finalized the construction plan of a systematic material transportation system. In the future, he was prepared to transport materials to the Kingdom of Karen, including but not limited to all kinds of rare ores, spices and even the introduction of some "high-end talents".
Because Roddy also wanted to bring these priests of the "Theseus" sect who were good at debating to the Kingdom of Karen. In such an era, if he wanted to fully integrate the people in the remote areas into the rule, he could not rely on the governance of the feudal nobles. It was even more unrealistic to step into a society ruled by law in one step. Therefore, he finally decided to use the "independent" method of ruling the country.
For Roddy, there was no best way at the moment, only the most suitable way …
With Sally who had the divine authority of the monarch and the real divine power, in the future, Roddy would definitely be able to firmly control most of the resources of the Kingdom of Karen and Eiseka. Only in this way could human beings have the possibility of fighting against the enemies from other planes.
Rody had already selected a team of priests to board the plane and send them directly to Hollier City for adaptation and a short training. After he arrived at La Xia City, he immediately began to negotiate with Lachman — because the war was over here.
For the mages of Lachman, this was a bit sudden.
They had just gathered their troops to follow the expeditionary army to "drink the soup", but now they suddenly found out that … Eiseka had chosen to directly surrender, without even a decent resistance, and announced that they were ready to sign a "peace agreement".
The entire parliament was caught off guard and immediately fell into an uproar. They strongly requested for Eskar and Lachman to engage in a direct "truce negotiation". Their actual goal was naturally to take back the territory they had lost and extort a huge sum of money as compensation.
As a result, before Roddy could say anything, the negotiator sent by Eiseka directly humiliated Lachman. The scepter priest who came to negotiate under the instruction of Udora directly said: The Kingdom of Karen won the war, what does it have to do with you? If you still want to entangle with us, then wait for the Kingdom of Karen to leave and then fight again.
These words really choked Lachman half to death. Even if they shamelessly asked to participate in the negotiation, they still did not get the agreement. In the end, they could only stop and withdraw from the intervention.
In fact, according to the agreement, the Kingdom of Karen was only responsible for the war, not the negotiation. However, under the request of Eiseka, the final negotiation party was appointed to be the Kingdom of Karen. Now, they actually had a relationship of left and right hand, but still, it took them three days to complete all the negotiations.
The final result made the Lachman parliament very jealous: Eiseka completely withdrew its troops, returned the occupied territory, and compensated the Kingdom of Karen with war compensation equivalent to more than 500,000 gold coins.
At the same time, this compensation was not paid by Eiseka alone, but by the twelve small countries that acted as the buffer between the two countries. From the beginning to the end, they did not even have the right to negotiate. Therefore, in reality, these small countries were the most miserable "leeks" in the agreement. As the defeated countries, they were ruthlessly harvested.
Until now, the mages of Lachman still didn't know what had happened in Dister City. They were only dissatisfied with the Kallon Kingdom's' eating both sides'. After all, Lachman also had to pay the cost of the war. Why did the Kallon Kingdom pay the reparations instead of us?
Therefore, the parliament protested and negotiated, but Roddy did not directly refuse. He said that the compensation was only needed to cover the military expenses of the Kingdom of Karen. After that, Sodelor came up with a list: the rechargeable crystals, ammunition, and various military expenses used by the expeditionary army in this battle were calculated to cost more than 300,000 gold coins.
The voices of the Lachman mages instantly became quiet. In the end, the parliament voted for three days, saying that they only needed 100,000 gold coins as compensation of 500,000 gold coins.
Although they knew that this list must be fake, now that the war was over, the land had been recovered, and not many people had died. In the meantime, the strength of the countries in the middle was greatly damaged, and they would definitely not cause trouble in a short period of time. What else could they do?
