Amidst the great turmoil that hadn't happened in the New World for decades, the winter of Year 189 of the Sea Origin Calendar passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was Year 190.
Juarez, the capital of the former New Shilius Vice King District.
"Bishop Ralph, please!"
Under the lead of Hawkins, Elvin's chief firefighter and major attendant, Bishop Ralph, who was originally stationed at the Glory Church in Tomstown, led a dozen or so priests from the Church of the Black Iron Cross into the city.
There was also a group of shaman sorcerers who were mainly Hurons. Looking at the sacred emblem of the Tree of Life that they carried with them, it was obvious that they belonged to the Father of Creation's embryonic shaman group.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
A group of soldiers with guns on their shoulders escorted them all the way to the former vice king's residence. This group of soldiers was similar to the core group. There were both Nimansts and Atreans, and the proportion of Atreans wasn't low either.
"Giving weapons to the lowly natives? Enlisting as a regular army?! "
This situation made the Shilius pioneers, who were in the lower levels and had limited information, feel incredulous. However, it also made the Atreans, who had been enslaved for generations, see hope. They even cheered as the group passed by.
"Long live! Long live! "
At one point, some of them were even drinking water to welcome the imperial army.
Some of the Shilius subconsciously reached for the whips at their waists, but they touched nothing. Once again, they realized that their current situation wasn't any better than the former slaves.
Apart from not having to worry about being slaughtered by the Nimansts, just the unknown future was enough to make every Shilius anxious.
At this moment.
Elvin's elite retainers used about a month to take over the new Shilius' plantations, mines, and various other industries (there were no industries or even handicrafts here). They also checked the personnel, registered the household …
The original "New Shilius Vice King District", which was now the "Shattered Star Sea Coast District" of the Principality of Garriott, gradually stabilized.
It just so happened that the "Spirit Tide" was wreaking havoc on the continent, and there were no humans living in the wild. Almost all of the population had gathered around the city, greatly reducing their workload.
Of course, while martial law was gradually being relaxed, it would be maintained for the next six months to ensure that the rebels among the Shilius were on their guard.
Conquering them was only the first step. How they would rule over this massive piece of land would be the most important part. How they would deal with the million-strong Shilius would be the first test of the marquisate's ability to govern.
The two religious groups led by Hawkins were here today for this very reason!
With the help of the White Oak Amulet, the annual population growth rate of the entire Faletis territory could reach a delightful 3%. In order to balance the population, there was a trend of intermarriage between the mostly male immigrants and the mostly female aborigines.
However, even after ten years, the population would only increase by a third. If this vast land far from the Old Continent wanted to develop quickly, it was inevitable that it would take a large-scale migration route.
In particular, the ideology of the main body of the people must be unified. Otherwise, there will be big problems in the future.
This world wasn't like Elvin's previous life, where he had freedom of belief. Gods were real existences, and they ruled over the people's spirits in a subtle way.
Not using their powerful political monopoly to exclude other faiths and instead pursuing freedom of belief would be a fool's errand.
Elvin's national policy was to lay down the foundation from the very beginning, twisting the minds of the people into a rope so that there would only be one voice in their minds. Otherwise, as more and more immigrants from the Old Continent entered, the entire nation would split into countless small groups with their own agendas. It might even become a breeding ground for various evil cults.
Moreover.
In this day and age, there was no need to consider humanitarianism. Of course, they would do things as efficiently as possible. The specific measures included forced population migration, assimilation of language, characters, beliefs, customs, and habits, and changing the original ethnic characteristics.
All Nimanstans belonged to the Goddess of Navigation and Royalty, while all Atreans belonged to the Father of Creation.
This was also the method that the Shilius used to conquer other parts of the Source Continent, but they never imagined that it would one day fall upon them.
There were now 4.7 million people in the Tulip colony, enough to divide and assimilate the less than a million Shilius immigrants.
Additionally, Elvin had already planned to send a fleet directly to Illyria, where life was difficult, to fill the population of his territory as quickly as possible and dilute the Shilius population.
When it came to these mundane affairs, Elvin and the core supernatural forces under his command did not have to worry about them. Even if Farsail, Georgia, and Buffalo did not have enough administrative personnel, they still had the support of the kingdom.
The Shilius language, which held a strong position, was considered the most widespread language in the New Continent. Even the coarsest pirate could say a few words in it, such as "Get down", "Hand over the money", "Men stand on the left, women on the right", and so on.
The administrative personnel that the kingdom had nurtured for many years were not a problem. They just had to carry out their work step by step. After all, these matters could not be rushed.
Mortals had their own affairs, and Transcendents had their own affairs as well.
Southeast, 2,400 kilometers away from Juarez, in the Balboa Isthmus.
* Rumble! Rumble! *
A thousand-meter-tall mountain covered in forest and white clouds was slowly moving from north to south. Under its feet, the soil and sand automatically separated to the sides like water, turning into a wide and deep river.
[Talent Spell — Earth Elemental Command]
The river was 15 meters deep, and its width varied according to the terrain, generally between 150 to 300 meters.
"Madam, Miss Angel, our progress is not slow. Although the Aiur Canal is deeper and wider than the Aiur Canal that connects the Six Great Lakes, the Mountain Giant's work can be done even more crudely. The new 81-kilometer canal should be completed in two days."
In the control room of the Mountain Giant, Angel, Olivia, and Cedric, the chief of the Mechanical Immortality School of Engineering, were working together to carry out this significant and miraculous project.
Back then, it only took Elvin ten days to build the Aiur Canal in Buffalo, a man-made canal with a total length of 584 kilometers. Connecting the "World Bridge" was not more difficult than the former.
Especially after obtaining the [Creator's Blood], Elven's ability to interfere with the material world had been greatly strengthened. It didn't take him much effort to repair the [Mountain Giant] that was cut in half in the [Clock Tower]. Even moving mountains and reclaiming oceans wouldn't be a problem for him.
With his current ability, it would not be a problem for him to build a giant golem of the same type from scratch. After all, in terms of pure combat strength, the giant Djinn was almost the same as the Mountain Giant.
Previously, in the battle to take over the New Shilius District.
Elvin's elite troops went from the Balboa Isthmus all the way to the New Granada District for hundreds of kilometers before stopping to establish a defensive line, which was also the frontline of direct confrontation with Shilius on land.
After the Union's army gradually retreated, the defense work fell back to the Marquisate. However, it was not a big problem.
At the same time when the "World Bridge" work was started, the other two peak official wizards of the "Mechanical Immortality" school had already gone to the frontline and began to choose the location for their masterpiece, the [Mechanical Immortality School of Mechanics' Construct Turrets — Sage Modo].
Each Sage Modo was a turret array made up of forty double-barreled turrets, which was enough to reduce the regular troops below grade 3 to a mere number.
"Although it's only a few small ports in the 'Golden Ocean', the Union is really lucky.
When the 'World Bridge' is connected, the value of the Golden Ocean will double. Even the Shilius will have to rely on us for survival by then. "
Today, a month later, the Union countries had completed the work of dividing the spoils according to the ratio of the forces invested. Just as Elvin expected, when he asked them if they wanted the land in the middle of the continent to develop it themselves, none of them were willing.
Apart from the precious metal mines being transferred to them in the form of shares, they were fighting over the few islands in the main sea route of the Golden Ocean.
"Sister Hersey, let's try to finish it faster. If it's really like what teacher said, there might be a [World's Favor], we can help him and Sister Anita. "
"Okay!"
As they spoke, the two girls couldn't help but look at a certain place in the Golden Ocean in the north at the same time.
.....
Whoosh —
A large number of large warships flying the dark blue flag and the Garriott family's "Thorn Crown Sea Snake" flag surrounded the second largest island in the Golden Ocean under the leadership of the [Miracle Crown].
The largest dark wizard force, the "Voodoo Sect", which was originally entrenched here, had already moved away from the Golden Ocean at the beginning of the war and entered the southern Cabral. As the fleet cleared the area, the island was almost empty at this time.
"I never thought that we would be able to come back here one day."
The first two Tree of Life Totem Warriors in the Arawak Clan, Kenaro and Paca, were also in the fleet. They even jumped to become the captain and first mate of a grade 4 battleship.
St. Domingo's original name was "Hispaniola Island", and it was the ancestral land of the Arawak Clan.
After Elvin obtained a large number of battleships, he took out a large number of the backbone of the "Dragon Knight Fleet" and formed a more powerful navy. Other than Kenaro, the original Extraordinary officers of the "Storm Horn", Gary, Vader, and Flake were all promoted to captains.
When a man ascends to the top, even his chickens and dogs will ascend to the heavens!
At this time, the two great wizards of the [Miracle Crown], Nympho and Sera, the Snake Witch, were in charge of the external security work for him and Anita's promotion to grade 4.
St. Domingo Island was located in the center of the Golden Ocean, and it was also the first place in his territory to receive the spring thunder.
On one side of the island, Anita had already changed into loose clothes after bathing in the clear spring water. She hugged [Dragon Slaying Sword – Siegfried] and sat on a reef by the sea.
On the other side of the island, Elvin, who had also taken a bath and changed his clothes, sat on the mountain peak that was already covered with complicated ritual patterns.
When the first spring thunder of this year sounded, the siblings would try to break through to grade 4 here!
