Deep in the Golden Sea, the sun was setting in the Far Sail Territory of the Aimor Peninsula.
"Elvin, we've received intelligence from the frontlines. St. Domingo Island, the last territory of the new Shilius' vice-king district, has just been breached. The voodoo sect stationed there has already evacuated, so we didn't suffer any losses.
The higher-ups of the Alliance's colonies have also submitted their requests and are just waiting for you to agree.
Aren't you being a little too careless at such a critical moment? This isn't a new house, but a new Shilius with a total area of more than four million square kilometers, filled with fertile land and precious metal mines! "
The Far Sail Territory, which was the closest to the new Shilius' vice-king district, had been turned into a temporary command center. The higher-ups of the Alliance had all gathered here.
However, all the higher-ups, including the kings, knew that they were just accompanying the crown prince in his studies. This land had long been labeled as Garriott's.
Apart from the fact that his contribution in this war was undeniably the greatest, the other Shilius couldn't do anything about it. The other kingdoms did not have the power to take down New Shilius either. Separated by the Black Sea, there was no way they could stop the three remaining colonies of the southern continent and the Shilius mainland's subsequent actions.
Being able to have a sip of soup was already a privilege that hadn't been enjoyed in over a hundred years. Shilius' bone soup was simply too plentiful.
"Your Majesty, the outcome has been decided since the end of the Battle of Dirben. There's no sense of surprise for me at all.
The Fluorescent Sea here is a rare natural wonder. Why don't we seize the time to enjoy life? Don't let down the beautiful scenery! "
Levina, who was still overseeing the Far Sail Harbor, looked at the beautiful figure standing beside Elvin in the video call and thought, There's still a beauty that I can't let down, right?
An indescribable emotion couldn't help but surge in Levina's heart. Perhaps, probably, it was … jealousy.
Besides, isn't the purpose of retainers to make things easier for me so that I can do what I like? If I have to do everything myself, what's the point of having them?
A few days ago, he had organized a surprise attack on the various capitals of New Shilius and cut off the connections between the various strongholds, minimizing the possibility of them uniting to resist.
The three pinnacle formal adepts of the "Mechanical Immortality" school took action and forced Vice King Flavio to surrender. After that, Elvin and Olivia became the new Shilius' vice king, leaving him to his own devices.
The rest of the work was no longer difficult.
After the spiritual wave had retreated by a thousand kilometers, only a little more than half of New Shilius's east-west territory remained.
With the help of the Knight and [Dream Cruise], the soldiers brought along the letter of persuasion written by Vice King Flavio himself. It only took a few days for most of the cities in the territory to surrender.
Of course, as the strongest country in the world, Shilius had its loyal subjects as well. Some cities ignored the orders of their superiors and persisted in their duties, but to no avail.
They were all turned into vengeful spirits under the air raid.
The navy, land, and air forces had all been deployed, and there was also the cooperation of peak combat power. If they couldn't even do something as simple as picking peaches, it would be too much of a mistake. That was why Elvin didn't feel burdened at all when he took a break from work.
He was as relaxed and happy as a true boss with countless subordinates.
When the news of the entire New Shilius's vice king district being completely breached reached him, Elvin and Olivia were strolling on a beach in Far Sail under the setting sun, admiring the strange sight that had suddenly appeared today — the fluorescent waves.
Elvin casually wore a white shirt, his trousers rolled up to his calves, and his feet were bare.
Beside him, Olivia wore a snow-white beach dress with straps. Her black braids were braided with silver ribbons and tied into a cute bow at the end. There was also a blue Cattleya orchid the size of a bowl in her hair.
The girl was also barefoot. The tips of her toes were painted a sparkling blue, like perfectly polished sapphires. Her bare feet, so white that they were almost transparent, left behind a trail of exquisite footprints on the fine sand.
It was refreshing, bright, and beautiful, like a flash of light quietly flowing through a forest.
Beneath their feet, layers of waves flowed like flowing blue light. The two of them each held a coconut and sipped on it. Hand in hand, they strolled on the magnificent fluorescent beach as if they were walking in a dazzling galaxy.
Beside them, there was also a Photographic Crystal that had been activated, automatically capturing 360 degrees without any blind spots, leaving behind this magnificent scene.
In fact, while others might not understand the principle, Elvin was very clear about this phenomenon.
This was because a special algae that was between animals and plants, 'flagellate algae', had an explosive reproduction. The effect was only slightly inferior to the dazzling aurora of the North Pole.
After seeing the magnificent scenery through the 'video chat', Levina, who had no sense of beauty, curled her lips slightly. "You bastard, I'm so enthusiastic. You make it sound like I'm your retainer."
"Ha, although you don't want the land, the value of the thirty third-tier warships in the Invincible Fleet isn't as simple as their value in this situation.
There's also the cost of the modifications and transportation that I personally did. This is much more valuable than the mine shares they want. Is my patriotism not worth wasting two months of your time? "
Since it was a crime committed by a gang, there was naturally a segment of the loot. Although it hadn't been finalized, the demands and contributions of each family were more or less matched.
The ownership of the land completely belonged to Elvin, and most of the countries in the Alliance had exchanged their war contributions for shares of the precious metal mines. On the surface, it was the best choice to make.
As for Levina, she didn't want the real gold and silver. Instead, she wanted part of the warships that the Invincible Fleet seized. Elvin was also very straightforward. With a wave of his hand, he directly gave the best part to his kingdom.
It was also a repayment for Levina's choice to stay and fight side by side, and even ask for help from the Kingdom Guardian.
As for Elvin himself, he had three Legendary battleships, and twenty or so battleships were more or less enough for him to use.
"Ahem … Come back soon."
Then, he hung up the call.
After all, the rewards were much greater than the effort.
If there was such a good thing in the future, Levina didn't mind putting down her dignity as a queen and openly said to Elvin, "Lord Marquis, this queen can do it!"
Whoosh —
The sun had completely sunk into the sea at the horizon. As the fluorescent waves grew brighter, the slightly cold night wind was also unwilling to be left out.
Although they were in the tropics, it was still late winter after all. Elvin considerately took out a warm knitted sweater from the wardrobe in the Sorcerer's Garden and put it on his beautiful fiancée. Then, he hugged her while he was at it.
As if he had just come back to his senses, he looked at the opposite side of the golden sea and smiled gently.
"The bleak autumn wind rustles again. Today, the world has changed again!
Hersey, are you ready to become the mistress of this vast land? "
Leaning against Elvin's warm and firm chest, Olivia looked up and blinked her beautiful eyes at him. She smiled a little naughtily.
"It's a pity that my father's smuggling business with the new Shilius will no longer be successful."
"Hehe, don't worry. Haven't we already made plans for the next five, ten, and twenty years? Father-in-law's old age is very fulfilling. The vast land of the new continent is still waiting for him to slowly cultivate it. "
Marquis Duke was speechless.
Now, no one knew that after defeating Shilius, Elvin didn't just obtain a thousand kilometers of land along the western coast with a total area of four million square kilometers. Instead, it was half of the northern continent south of the Six Great Lakes, west of the Abayache Mountain Range, and over ten million square kilometers.
Others feared the rampaging Spirit Tide like a tiger. The larger the territory, the greater the pressure.
However, Elvin's Tree of Rest had already been planted by the Aitasca River. If he was more diligent and took the initiative to kill high-level ghosts, it wouldn't take long for this land to return to its original livable state.
Furthermore, after years of nourishment from the spiritual source, the land would only be more fertile than before.
Then, he had an even grander plan.
The thinnest connection between the north and south of the new continent, the Balvoa Isthmus, would be built into a "world bridge" that connected the Black Sea and the Shattered Star Sea.
After it was built, even ordinary ships would no longer need to circle the entire new continent to travel between the two seas. Then, he could occupy the Golden Sea and take the opportunity to completely control the northern part of the new continent!
At this moment.
He had single-handedly killed a Rank 4 Titled Knight. Using the life of a Rank 4 Titled Knight to forge a name for himself, he had also laid a solid foundation for ruling the new continent like a Titled Knight.
And it wouldn't take long for him to reach Rank 4. Soon! Soon!
.....
The world was in a state of turmoil.
The Source Continent.
It was as if a series of giant depth bombs had been dropped. Before the great waves of the Battle of Dirben could be fully digested, the various civilizations were once again shocked by the news that the new Shilius Vice King District had changed hands.
A thunderous name reverberated in their ears once again.
From the Church, the Kingdom Guardian, the King, to the nobles, merchants, and bankers, they couldn't help but reevaluate that place, as well as that "young man" who could no longer be recognized by his age.
Some people with the spirit of action and adventure had even set off to get in touch with that "sir" before everyone else, to convey their goodwill and seek cooperation. After all, who didn't want the gold and silver of the new continent?
The Shilius Empire naturally received the news earlier than everyone else, but …
It was said that the roars of lions in the domed palace lasted for half the night. Later, there was even news that a side hall "caught fire" and had to be rebuilt.
The second to receive the news was, of course, the trader of this incident, the Eye of Wealth.
Frisia Kingdom, Antwerp City, Eye of Wealth headquarters.
"I really didn't expect it to end like this! But for us, this is the best possible outcome. That was a good fall for Shilius! "
Saint William Orange, the "God of Capital and Wealth" who proposed the principle of "sovereignty in the people", which was the modern "democratic system", smiled and clapped his hands gently.
Beside him, the young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, Argo, who was in charge of the specific implementation of the plan, bowed slightly.
"My Lord, we took the lead and secretly gathered the most influential super capitalists in the continent to form an even more powerful 'Eye of Wealth'. Driven by the huge interests of ruling the world, what are the competitors of the past?
It won't take long for the Golden Lord's [Capital Priesthood] to be successfully condensed, and the Church has promised to provide us with a batch of powerful Transcendent support.
Taking advantage of the chaos after Shilius's heavy blow, it's time for our 'Lowland Republic' to officially stand on the world's stage independently. "
"Yes."
Then … they would follow the will of God and set off another frenzy.
They would let the seeds of "democracy" spread throughout the countries and control the lifelines of many duchies and principalities. Finally, they would push the tide that swept the entire world, sweeping the feudal monarchy that had lasted for at least thousands of years into the dust of history!
