The popularity of the Harley-Davidson motorcycles was not beyond the expectations of Tang En. After all, this brand-new means of transportation could perfectly replace the role of horses.
However, the idea of using the Harley-Davidson motorcycles to pull trucks still surprised Tang En.
Although it was completely possible to use it that way, wasn't it a waste of talent?
The advantages of the Harley-Davidson motorcycles were the convenience of personal travel and fast mobility, coupled with a very strong all-terrain adaptability. If it was used to pull goods, it was really not as good as a carriage.
A three-wheeled truck could replace the role of a carriage, but Tang En had no interest in producing tricycles for the time being. That kind of transitional product was meaningless.
The difficulty of popularizing the Harley-Davidson motorcycles at present was the cost of learning to ride and the relatively high price. The price of 500 gold coins was acceptable for the residents of Ellington whose income had increased dozens of times, but for the civilians of other cities, it was a huge sum of money. They could not spend so much money to buy a motorcycle.
Tang En also did not have the idea of taking the gold coins in their hands. Squeezing every penny from them was meaningless to Tang En.
Compared to squeezing their wealth dry, making them richer was easier to achieve Tang En's goal.
As the Harley-Davidson motorcycles gradually replaced horses as the first choice of the wealthy people, Tang En would soon let the civilians enjoy another new means of transportation.
That was the city bus.
The Harley-Davidson motorcycles had just been introduced to the market. Perhaps there would be more nobles who would follow the trend after learning how to ride them, but after a long time, they would definitely return to the embrace of the carriage again. The Harley-Davidson motorcycles would probably still become the means of transportation for the servants who ran errands.
In the outside world, the most suitable scene for the Harley-Davidson motorcycles was among the mercenaries and adventurers. With the Harley-Davidson motorcycles that did not need to eat or drink, they could carry more luggage when they went out, explore further areas, and did not have to worry about the motorcycles running away like horses or being attacked by magical beasts.
The biggest winners of the Harley-Davidson motorcycles were the adventurers and mercenaries. This was something that no one had expected at the beginning, including Tang En.
"The popularity of the Harley motorcycles will definitely bring about a revolution in transportation. People will have higher requirements for the roads."
Tang En knocked on the table and said to Aurelia, "In order to avoid repeated construction, we need to adjust the city's roads while reforming the transportation system."
Aurelia nodded and said, "I don't have any problems here, but can the production capacity of the asphalt lake keep up?"
"No problem, Durand and the others are very satisfied with the exchange of labor for food and wine, and now the Dwarven Council is also very happy to provide Ellington with employees. The technology they learned from Ellington allowed them to improve their mining, smelting, refining, and forging skills by leaps and bounds."
Aurelia curled her lips. "It feels like they're about to become Ellington's vassals."
"Not vassal, but common progress."
Tang En smiled and changed the adjective, then said, "Also, you should pay more attention to the traffic laws. Soon, people will have to face this reality."
"You've stressed it many times, I know."
"Before this year's Ceremony of Light, the highway network in the Irus Empire will be completed. I'm afraid that more people will come this year, so we should prepare in advance."
"Mother has already discussed this with me. We've decided to open up some temporary residential areas in the suburbs of Alinx to accommodate the visitors that the city can't accommodate."
"Olina? She's so considerate. "
"Of course she's considerate. Do you think everyone is like you?"
Aurelia raised her eyebrows. "By the way, do you want to stay here tonight?"
Tang En was stunned and looked at Aurelia with a little surprise.
Her Royal Highness blushed under his gaze. "No, it's not what you think! It's, it's mother. Don't you know that you haven't been with her for a long time!? "
Aurelia's angry question made Tang En speechless.
"It's my fault. Well, I'll stay here tonight."
"Humph! Whatever! "
Unexpectedly, Tang En said that he wanted to stay, but Aurelia was still very angry. She turned around and left.
Tang En looked at Aurelia's back with an inexplicable smile in his eyes.
That night, Tang En decided to fulfill his duty as the Regent and feed the Queen. Olina, who was caught unprepared, was a little overwhelmed by this sudden "surprise". In the end, she asked her personal maid to help her to resist Tang En's attack.
The next day, when Tang En left, Olina, who was sore all over, still didn't understand why Tang En suddenly came back to stay the night.
Ellington.
"The situation seems to be a bit wrong."
Saintess Yi Luli found Twain. She got the latest news from Lyon about the crusade team, but the situation was not as optimistic as they had initially estimated.
"As of yesterday, the two demon squads have encountered a total of seven waves of demons, more than 50 in total. It's worth mentioning that if it weren't for Salatimore's help, they would have a hard time fighting."
Eluri sighed and said, "Without Salatimore's help, Leon's side suffered a great loss. More than 100 soldiers had to leave the battle team because of serious injuries."
"So many?"
"This is not the worst."
Eluri peeked at Fiona on the opposite side and quietly rubbed against Tang En with a satisfied expression on her face. Then she continued, "According to the investigation, there are traces of a small number of demons near the official road that had been cleared."
"That's impossible!"
Tang En frowned, "Salatimore is very sure that we have cleared all the demons in the vicinity."
"Maybe the demons in the other areas have returned?"
Tang En said, "The demon squads have sealed off the areas on both sides. If they return, they will definitely be discovered by our people."
"Then maybe …"
Eluri whispered, "Did they just come from the Purgatory Abyss?"
Tang En was stunned and said flatly, "That's impossible. I have closed the Great Rift Valley. The passage should have been sealed."
"The Great Rift Valley has been sealed by you."
Eluri reminded Tang En, "But you forgot what Salatimore said. It is not only this heavy earth that separates the human kingdom from the Purgatory Abyss, but also a barrier set up by the gods. That barrier is the key, right?"
What the f * ck!?
Tang En was dumbfounded. He really forgot about this!
Could the barrier set up by the gods be repaired after being torn apart by the will of the world?
It was impossible without divine power!
"I forgot about this!"
Tang En's expression became serious, "Perhaps, it is because of my negligence that those demons continue to appear."
"Then what should we do?"
"Don't worry."
Tang En took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "Although I can't solve it, at least there is someone in Ellington who can solve this problem!"
"So," Eutinia looked at Tang En indifferently, "you called me over?"
Tang En looked at her expectantly and said, "You are the Guardian of Girls, the famous Dark Maiden, and the only God that we know of who can use the power of God. Of course, we have to look for you for this kind of thing …"
"Haha."
Eutinia glanced at him faintly. "Famous?"
Tang En was embarrassed. As a weak god, Eutinia's fame in Prandal was not very high, far less than the twelve superior gods.
But she was a true god after all.
"I already know the problem."
Eutinia picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea. After a moment of silence, she said indifferently, "I can repair the barrier, but it will take a long time."
The barrier was set up by the gods together. With Eutinia's strength, it would be very difficult to repair it, not to mention that the divine power she could use now was very little.
"How long will it take?"
"It depends on the size of the crack."
Tang En described the size of the crack to her. After a moment of calculation, Eutinia said indifferently, "It will take about fifty years."
Tang En exclaimed, "Pfft! Fifty years!? "
"Well, if the demons continue to attack the barrier without being disturbed, it will take even longer."
"If I have the time, I might as well go directly to the Abyss of Purgatory and kill all those demons!"
"Whatever."
Eutinia said no more after she finished speaking.
The anxious Tang En thought for a while and finally calmed down.
Then he found that his idea was wrong.
Sealing the Abyss of Purgatory would not end this war.
He came to Prandal to fight against Chaos.
Now he knew that there was a giant Chaos Gate in the Abyss of Purgatory, and it was a giant Chaos Gate that was measured by the size of the demons.
This also meant that destroying the Chaos Gate was also what he should do.
Tang En calmed down and said, "I see. Let's not think about sealing the barrier for the time being."
Eluri exclaimed, "Why!?"
"Because, maybe soon I will take the initiative to go to the Abyss of Purgatory and end this bloody war once and for all."
Tang En's expression was a little conflicted. To be honest, he was very resistant, but when he thought of those guys who had been watching him in the divine realm, his head went numb and he did not dare to slack off.
"But —"
"I know that the demons are still appearing, but now we can choose another way to temporarily contain them."
Tang En pondered for a moment and said, "I will mobilize the soldiers of the New Empire's third army to seal the rift valley. They need to fight to hone themselves. This is a good opportunity."
"Are you crazy!?"
Fiona suddenly stood up. "You are asking for death by sending them there!"
"No, it's not just them."
Tang En said very calmly, "There are also the Paladins of the Vatican. We need the Vatican's help."
