The New Shilius Vice-Royal District was located on the west coast of the Golden Sea, the capital of Juarez.
"General Angelo, this is the answer you've given me after an entire week?! This is the answer the invincible Shilius Empire's army gave to His Majesty?! "
Vice-Royal Flavio, who ruled the world's largest colony, New Shilius, read the data in his hand from the beginning to the end. He could no longer hold back his anger and smashed the exquisite mahogany desk in front of him.
Rumble —!
On the other side of the desk, the burly lieutenant general didn't even try to dodge. He stood there motionlessly and allowed the wooden splinters to hit his face and body.
His sense of honor as a soldier made him too ashamed to dodge. After all, even with the help of the School of Cursing and the Tinder Sect, the battle in the past week had turned out to be very ugly.
The distance between the east and west coasts of the New World was about 4,400 kilometers. With the Aitasca River as the centerline, the entire western region was actually occupied by Shilius.
However, the large-scale spirit tide outbreak that happened on the Aitasca River a week ago caused the Shilius pioneers and soldiers to suffer heavy losses.
The Shilius people who were the first to explore the New World weren't stupid. With limited manpower, they chose the best and most profitable land on the New World.
However, in their eyes, there was a standard for 'good'.
Under the premise that the New World itself lacked consumer power and market, these colonists who took the first step were naturally here to plunder wealth. Compared to earning money through hard work, it was obviously faster to just rob.
For example, the Azik Empire and the Kashna Empire were the first to act. These two countries were at least in the early stages of a slave society. The Kashna Empire was also known as the Golden Empire and was popular with gold sacrificial tools.
At the same time, most of the northern regions of the New World were still primitive tribes that hunted.
Therefore, the colonies controlled by Shilius were either gold and silver producing areas or subtropical and tropical areas where large-scale economic crops could be grown. They were also the most important parts of the New World.
For example, the western region occupied by the new Shilius Vice-Royal District was the main area rich in mineral resources in the north of the New World, containing large amounts of copper, gold, silver, vanadium, lead, zinc, and other precious metals.
But now, in just a week, two-thirds of the resource points near the central region had been lost, which was more than the total number of resource points lost since the outbreak of the "spirit wave" last year.
The Deputy King, who had the strength of a Grand Knight and represented King Philip II, was still angry. He glared at the highest military officer under his command with his blue eyes.
"Her Majesty Queen Theresa's motherland, a mere Frisia, has contributed more wealth to the empire than the entire New World. At this rate, as the security environment of the New World continued to deteriorate, the Empire might make a decision to shrink the colony on a large scale.
At that time, would you and I still want to be free and unfettered in this land of gold? General Angelo, the number of lovers you have is already in the double digits, right? How are we going to raise them? "
The lieutenant general, whose status in the colony was not low, was only humble because he was in the wrong. Obviously, he did not agree with Vice King Flavio's words.
"Your Excellency, the gold and silver mines are dead, and they will not resist the Empire's demands.
But the Kingdom of Frisia has been a country of business for hundreds of years. Although most of them are not in production, they are mainly in trade and finance.
But I feel that their nature is no different from the merchants in Ilya who rebelled against the [royal power]. They are all jackals of the same tribe.
In the end, His Majesty can only rely on our army and navy! And the large territory that we have conquered for the Empire! "
The world was no longer an isolated country. After the capitalist rebellion in the Kingdom of Ilya, many pairs of eyes were fixed on it. Shilius, which was only a sea away, was no exception.
Even though only the "Tinder Sect" and the "Original God" of the Holy Lothar Empire were allowed to believe in Tirentius, there was a vigorous religious reform, and heads were rolling.
But the upper echelons of the Empire were still "clear" about the cause and effect of the Ilya rebellion.
The root cause was the new class of "bourgeois".
Before the marriage, the totalitarian Shilius did not even have a system of handicrafts, let alone "bourgeois."
But now, the Frisians in the Empire were the first to integrate banks, credit, insurance, and limited liability companies into a financial and commercial system!
They had the first publicly traded stock company, the first organized stock exchange, the earliest technology to manipulate the stock market, the first international settlement bank, and so on.
Including the world's number one bank, the Netherland Bank Group, which made its fortune in the lowland country of Frisia, which had been unsuitable for farming since ancient times.
Hundreds of years ago, the Frisians also invented the "flute-shaped ship" because the various countries levied port taxes based on the area of the top deck of the ship, which could be used to avoid taxes.
There were many such examples. The big factory owners who rose because of the steam industry were just juniors in front of them.
But the deputy king did not want to hear his opinion on the capitalist rebellion. He waved his hand.
"Shut up! Our intelligence department has already researched the matter very clearly. The Kingdom of Ilya is protecting the old, and the Shilius Empire will never repeat the same mistake! "
However, reprimanding was one thing. Under the pressure of the precarious survival of the resource points, he had to cut off his own losses.
Flavio then had no choice but to give an order.
"Give up part of the precious metal mining area. We will retreat 1000 kilometers to the west coast."
Then, he snorted with a cold expression.
"The new continent is our defensive area. Sir General, I think you'd better think of a way to maintain the current defensive line."
The general's expression was uncertain. He could not help but look at the east coast of the continent. That was also the place that had the best performance in the Spirit Tide.
.....
In the valley upstream of the Hartson River.
Thousands of Georgia's soldiers had set up camp. After dawn tomorrow, they would launch the final attack.
On the wide river, the "Quasi-Legendary Battleship, Morning Star" was their mobile command center.
"Miss Angel, the three Wizards, I didn't expect that the reinforcements sent from the rear would be you and not Billy Buddha … Ahem, I mean, it's really great.
In front of us is the final battle upstream of the river, the Saratoga Hot Springs City, which is also a place suspected to have a third level Totem God. "
William was introducing the progress of the current battle situation to the unexpected strong reinforcements.
As expected, in the second half of the journey, the "Ghouls" had already fled upon hearing the news. Most of the ones that needed to be dealt with were the "Ghosts" and natural spirits that had gradually taken root in this land.
The army followed the river and advanced all the way to Saratoga City.
The geothermal resources here were rich, and hot springs of various sizes were everywhere. Even the winter seemed to come later than other places. No matter what, it was a treasure land.
Angel, who was wearing a pure white dress, had her moonlight silver hair tied into a high ponytail with a blue hair band. She seemed to be glowing faintly and smiled.
"Besmir informed us that he discovered a third level Totem God in Buffalo. Moreover, a large group of Ghosts have gathered upstream. He's worried that you don't have enough strength."
"Coincidentally, Teacher asked us to inspect the terrain of the twelve colonies some time ago. We've already reached here. With three peak Wizards from the" Machinery Immortality School "taking action, it should be enough to deal with a Totem God."
The other commander, Robert, didn't relax.
"We're actually worried about the" Lady Crow "across the river. We're not even sure if this third level Totem God has anything to do with the powerful high-level Totem God.
"If this is a spy deliberately released by the other party, even if we can expel or even kill him, there will be bigger trouble behind. This is what we need to consider …"
However, while they were planning a plan.
They had been facing spirit monsters that had almost no intelligence for a long time, so they had forgotten that the third level Totem God that had obtained a human body was an existence that was far more intelligent than humans.
It would be strange if he could just stay at home and wait for them to call their friends to destroy the tower.
"Are they the ones?"
In the dense forest by the river bank, the "Bison God" Belo, who was bare-chested and had horns that pointed to the sky, looked at the campsite in the valley with bonfires and asked in a deep voice.
"Sir, that's right. It's them. These people once ruined the great plan of the "Lady Crow". A large-scale epidemic that should have swept across the entire continent to provide the Lady with power ended without a cause because of the people behind them.
In the past, the Goddess didn't have the energy to deal with these bug-like people, but they actually dared to come to the Manchak Swamp and show off. They clearly don't care about the Goddess. "
Behind him, the "Mushroom Man" and the "Bug Man" bowed. The "Mushroom Man" even gave the Bison God evidence through telepathy.
The two of them knew that they weren't a match for Elvin and his group back then, and now they were even less of a match. Of course, it was best to get someone else to do the dirty work.
Under the guise of helping the Goddess vent her anger, they instigated the powerful "Bison God" to stand up for them.
However, the "Bison God" Belo had his own considerations.
The core authority of the "Lady Crow" was [Plague], but she had a total of three domains: [Impurity], [Plague], and [Death].
After the original main god "Death" Wu Hao fell into silence, the "Death" authority could not be manifested. The large-scale slaughter and death that was close at hand would definitely be beneficial to the expansion of the "Lady Crow" authority.
For example, a hundred years ago.
The first people to land on the new continent, the Shilius, brought various infectious diseases that caused a large number of deaths among the Atreans. Even in the early days of colonization, many native tribes had already died before they even saw the colonists.
It was also because of that large-scale epidemic that the "Lady Crow" gained a huge boost in power, successfully breaking free from the shackles of faith and becoming a high-level totem god.
Originally, he was only here to gather the "ghosts" that came here to expand his power, but if he could eliminate these colonists who once offended the Lady, it would definitely be a good thing.
However.
The "Bison God" who had just joined the "Lady Crow" Yeherr was eager to show his allegiance and stabilize his position. But as a totem god who had lived for hundreds and thousands of years, how could he be used as a tool so easily and recklessly against an enemy of unknown origin?
He raised the obsidian saw sword in his hand high.
Hum —
Golden ripples spread out like water ripples. Behind him, countless souls formed a green torrent, pouring down toward the camp of the soldiers in the valley.
Boom!
It was using the natural hypostasis of a level three totem god to drive the "ghosts" and "natural spirits" to clear the mines for him.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
In the camp, the alarm instantly rang.
"Enemy attack!"
