Ellington.
It had been three days since the battle of Kasparmi Castle. Tang En and the others had already returned to Ellington, leaving behind a group of warriors to maintain the security of Kasparmi Castle. At the same time, they also borrowed a group of elemental creatures and elven friends to help restore the devastated land.
Without the power of the elves and elemental creatures, it would take at least a few years for the vegetation and land of Kasparmi Castle to recover. But with their help, it could be restored to its original state in just a few days.
It was just that …
"Ten thousand people … That's ten thousand warriors …"
Tang En pulled his hair in frustration. These warriors should have become a living force to fight against Chaos, but now they were controlled by the power of darkness and died in the internal strife.
His heart ached!
Even if Ellington and his wife worked harder, it would take decades to cultivate ten thousand living forces, not to mention that they might not all become warriors.
His heart really ached!
Although he had asked Nola to take the Soul Diamond to collect the souls of the dead and purify them (see Chapter 493), and then prepare for the next step, which could be considered as an appropriate solution, as an insider, he really did not want to see people fall into internal strife.
After all, that method was to mend the pen after the sheep had been lost, so it was necessary to end this meaningless internal strife as soon as possible!
The longer the civil war lasted, the wider the chaos would spread, and the harder it would be to end it.
Tang En lay on the bed weakly, constantly thinking of countermeasures.
To end the chaos, the real culprit must be found, then Girard must be caught and the truth must be announced by all means.
But the problem was that even if the truth was announced, the chaos had already happened. With the backward communication methods, it was impossible to let everyone know immediately. The delay in information gave some ambitious people with ulterior motives the opportunity to take risks. By the time others knew the truth, it would be too late.
War was not terrible. What was terrible was that after the war was over, there were still people who were reluctant to leave the war.
As for appeasing the people …
Tang En muttered, "Maybe it's better to discuss it with the Radiant Church …"
In Prandal, the Radiant Church, which held the absolute mainstream belief, had a reputation that was no less than that of the royal families. It could even be said that the Radiant Church's appeal was even stronger. If it were not for the gods restraining the power of religion, the Radiant Church could easily rule the entire human race.
After the war, if he stood on the side of the Radiant Church, there was no doubt that he would gain the trust and goodwill of others. With the help of the Pope and the Saintess to pacify the people, this would be the fastest way to restore stability to the country and give him a stable environment for development.
Tina whispered, "My Lord, what are you talking about? Is it because you don't have enough strength? "
"No, no, you're good at it. You've learned it well."
Tang En's compliment made Tina's face filled with happiness. Kneeling on his back, she continued to press hard, using the technique that Tang En personally performed on her.
"My Lord, you're too lazy!"
At this time, Fiona and Aurelia pushed the door open and entered. Their dissatisfaction was written all over their faces.
"Now the people of the Empire are in an abyss of suffering. You've just won a war, and you're happily enjoying Tina's massage service at home. Can't you take this opportunity to continue expanding your influence?"
Fiona looked as if she expected better from Tang En, but her eyes were fixed on Tina. She sat on Tang En's waist, and her buttocks were completely stuck to Tang En's skin. Although she did not see the two of them doing anything excessive, Fiona had to admit that she was jealous of Tina.
Tang En said righteously, "I'm thinking of countermeasures. Tina's massage has made my mind more flexible. What are you thinking?"
"Is that so?"
Princess Aurelia said coldly, "Do you dare to stand up now?"
Tang En was immediately embarrassed. He really did not dare to stand up now. Tang Bingyao would definitely be exposed.
"You're the Lord, so I have no right to say anything. But at least we should meet the messenger of the Spade family, right?"
Fiona flipped through the book, raised her head, and said expressionlessly, "You've ignored him for two days. The Spade family is the richest family in the Irus Empire, and they also control the Noble Parliament. If they really want to cooperate, it'll be very beneficial for us."
Although Fiona still remembered that the Spade family had harmed the Rosa d 'Oro family, for the sake of Tang En's development, she put aside her personal feelings and still gave a pertinent suggestion.
Tang En did not even raise his head. "Olga, tell her."
Suddenly hearing the nickname, Aurelia raised her eyebrows, but did not say anything. She said to Fiona, "The Spade family is a conservative aristocrat. Don't forget that the chairman of the Noble Parliament, Liandre, is a member of the Spade family. Girard has given up the reform and maintained the aristocratic rule. It's very beneficial for them, so they won't cooperate with us. "
"The reason why they sent the messenger is probably that they smelled something bad. After Girard was controlled, the main ministers in the palace were all controlled in the subsequent meetings. Now the palace of the Irus Empire is completely under Girard's control."
"According to the latest intelligence, Mandel, the patriarch of the Spade family, only showed up once at the coronation ceremony, and then never went to the palace again. He probably also sensed something. That old fox has always been sensitive, so he deliberately avoided it."
"Now that Girard has started a war, for the Spade family, war is the best opportunity to make a fortune. There are only two possibilities for them to come to us now. One is to take the opportunity to sell us all kinds of equipment and materials at a higher price. The other is to try to support us as a puppet regime and start a tug-of-war with Girard to prolong the war."
"According to my analysis, the second possibility is the most likely. If Ellington is too weak, the war will end very quickly, which is not something they want to see."
Fiona was stunned. "They want to prolong the war!? — No … wait! I get it! They want the war to last as long as possible, so they can get the biggest profit in the long run! "
In terms of economics, Fiona's talent was unparalleled, but when it came to political factors, she was not as good as Aurelia. Aurelia was, after all, born in the royal family, and had learned a lot under the influence of Victor. She could see through the essence of many things, and put forward suggestions that hit the nail on the head.
This time, it was also her idea to deliberately leave out the messenger of the Spade family.
Tang En adopted it without hesitation. Previously, when he was in Alinx, he did not have a pleasant meeting with Marcarlo of the Spade family (see Chapter 293), and Leander also made him feel very disgusted.
"Now, it's time to meet him."
Aurelia said thoughtfully, "That messenger, Colliver Spade."
Tang En raised his eyebrows and waved his hand, indicating that Tina should leave first.
Tina got off the bed with a red face, and then quickly left the room with her head lowered. Fiona and Aurelia's eyes seemed to be able to see through her clothes, making her too shy to raise her head.
After the warm body left, Tang En felt a chill on his waist.
Fiona stared at the shiny water stain on Tang En's waist. "Do you need me to wipe it for you?"
"No, no need …"
Tang En smiled embarrassedly. "It's too hot, too hot, it's inevitable to sweat …"
"Oh … So it's sweat …"
Fiona and Aurelia let out a long "oh", and then stared at Tang En.
Even if Tang En was very thick-skinned, he could not help but feel very embarrassed. After a while, Tang En finally stopped. He finally turned over and got off the bed. "Alright, let's go and see what Colliver's intentions are."
Fiona's eyes circled around a small hole on the bed, and then fell in front of Tang En. She nodded and turned to lead the way.
Aurelia said to Tang En silently: [Sex Demon Overlord!]
Tang En coughed lightly, and moved his five fingers meaningfully. He glanced behind Aurelia, and then walked forward with a faint smile.
This bastard!
Aurelia subconsciously jumped back and covered her butt.
The impression that he left on her was too deep!
Colliver, who received the notice, immediately left the Heart of Oak Tavern with his guards.
At this moment, he was anxious and fearful, deeply doubting whether his mission could be completed.
The reason for this was that he was completely shocked by what he had seen and heard in Ellington in the past three days.
This was the Ellington that he had to search for information for half a day to find? The Ellington that was said to be so poor that no one was willing to come?
What a joke!
Look at the flat black road, it was a pleasure to walk on it!
Ever since he stepped on this black road halfway from the mountain city of Bein, he was no longer willing to go down. The reason was very simple. On this flat black road, the carriage would not experience any bumps at all!
He could even have a good sleep in the carriage and let the coachman continue on with the journey!
There were also things called street lamps erected on both sides of the road. At night, they would emit a bright and soft light. It was said that they used a special mineral called Light Crystal, which was mined from the Underground World.
Recently, a merchant brought a small amount of Light Crystal to Alinx. The price of one Light Crystal was comparable to a magic crystal lamp. No one could afford it except for the nobles!
What about Ellington? It was so extravagant that it was used to provide public lighting at night!?
The neatly planned buildings were distributed in a picturesque disorder in the city. The architectural design was full of the Elven style (in fact, it was a modern design style, but Colliver thought it was the Elven style). Just looking at it was enough to make people's hearts beat faster, not to mention living in it!
What was the most incredible thing?
The dwarves on the street? Dwarves? Elves? Elemental creatures?
No, none of them!
The most incredible thing was that in this spring season, in Ellington, one could actually eat fresh vegetables!?
If this was told to others in Alinx, they would definitely think it was a ridiculous joke!
But in Ellington, this joke became a reality.
Here, in the early spring when food was scarce, not only did every household eat fresh vegetables, there was also enough flour for them to bake bread, enough barbecue meat, delicious and cheap fruit juice …
And all of this could be easily bought in the place called the supermarket!
Looking at the bicycles weaving through the streets and alleys, and the happy smiles on their faces, Colliver felt a lot of pressure.
