Chapter 1291 The Puppet Emperor (asking for a monthly ticket)
---------..
When he finished discussing with Belen and sent him out of the room, Lorraine found that it was already dark.
A bright red sunrise has appeared on the horizon. Naider City woke up from its quiet sleep at night and gradually became more and more noisy.
Although the weather is excellent today, there is a layer of light gray fog floating over the city, and there is an indescribable choking smell in the air.
The night shift workers who worked all night walked down from their respective posts tiredly, while the day shift workers walked into the factory in high spirits, ready to start a busy day of work.
The busiest time for selling breakfast on the street is when customers waiting for freshly baked bread can form a long line in front of the stall.
The sounds of sellers, quarrels, the shouts of animals, the sound of wheels rolling across the stone road... all kinds of sounds gathered together to form a huge noise that enveloped the entire city.
If you first come to Naider City and see this situation, you may think that this emerging city is no different from other prosperous cities in the world. They all live the most common way of doing things at sunrise and resting at sunset in this feudal era.
monotonous life.
In fact, if you live in this city, you will find that this city has never slept since it entered the industrial age.
Although many people fall asleep at night, the factories around Naider City are billowing thick smoke from morning to night, and then from night to morning again, twenty-four hours a day.
There is red hot molten steel in the huge furnace of the steel plant all year round. When the red molten iron is poured, it looks like the situation when the magma from hell erupts.
In addition, various machines make deafening noises.
Even in the Governor's Palace, the whistle of the train can be heard.
The train transported carloads of coal and ore into Nedel, as well as more valuable manufactured goods, weapons made from standard parts, light and strong armor, steel farm tools, metal bolts and screws, new artillery, and even complete sets of steam engines.
Equipment is shipped out.
They were transported to Constantine and various major cities in the east of the Ruman Empire.
When it's quiet, you can occasionally hear the crisp clanking sounds from the steel mill.
Although these kinds of factories and enterprises are all high energy consumption and high pollution, they also show the unique strong and vigorous vitality of human society after entering the industrial age.
In Lord Luo's words, if there is no severe pollution, no foggy weather where you can't see your fingers, and no society with PM2.5 bursting, can it still be called an industrial society?
Therefore, after Lord Luo saw off Beren, as usual when he had nothing to do, he would stand in front of the window and look at the chimneys emitting black smoke in the distance with a sense of accomplishment.
Although the horn of war has sounded and the armies of the undead and demons are coming across the sea again, the prince is not worried.
Although the High Priest of the Undead is a bull, he is not a god. Otherwise, he would not have been defeated by humans in the Holy War.
But Sir Alex is a big capitalist with a powerful industry. He is a whole era ahead of him.
Although the High Priest has been preparing for this war for a thousand years, humans have also been preparing for a thousand years. And with the Lord's strong industrial production capabilities, the strength of humans will inevitably rise to several levels.
Therefore, facing the high priest's death frenzy, mankind may suffer major setbacks, but it will eventually win this war.
Just at this moment, Lorraine Husi heard the sound of footsteps.
Lorraine turned around and saw Second Master Leore walking into the study wearing pajamas and rubbing his groggy eyes.
Seeing a room full of people, the chairman of the Flying Eagle Group said "Hey" in surprise and said: "You...you got up so early?"
Looking at the bloodshot eyes of Lorraine and Catherine, Chairman Leo was startled for a moment. Then he laughed and said: "You won't play until midnight again, will you? Really, what a big person you are..."
At this time, Chairman Leo suddenly felt a familiar pain in his waist. From this position and with this intensity, Chairman Leo did not have to look back. He quickly said with an attentive smile: "Melena, you got up very early too.
.”
There was a dissatisfied groan from behind. Melina, who was more beautiful than a doll, pushed the dining cart in like an adult. When she passed by Leo, she raised her head without even looking.
He pushed Leo hard and said, "Get out of the way."
Leo jumped away hastily.
Melina pushed the dining cart in front of everyone, then took out cups of hot tea and hot milk from the cart, handed them to Lorraine and Catherine one by one, and said: "Seeing that everyone has not slept all night, I prepared some breakfast
, hurry up and eat it while it’s hot.”
Catherine took a cup of hot tea, patted Mileena's head with approval, and said with a satisfied smile: "Our Mileena is much more considerate than my idiot brother."
"I was shot even while I was lying down." Chairman Leo turned his back and muttered a few times, then looked at Lorraine and said, "Boss, you really didn't sleep all night?"
Lorraine handed Maple Leaf Danlin's battle report to Leo. He couldn't help but yawned, clapped his mouth and said, "Yes, we have been waiting for this all night."
Chairman Leo picked up the telegram, glanced at it, and then gloated: "Maple Leaf Danlin will have a hard time in the future."
"Oh" Catherine raised her eyes and stared at Leo and said, "Why do you even say that?"
Leo flicked the telegram with his finger and said: "It's so unclear. Since you can't buy something for fifty yuan, the price must be increased to one hundred.
The undead couldn't defeat it with a hundred war fortresses. In the future, they will definitely use two hundred or even three hundred to chew this hard nut.
The air battle in Maple Leaf Danlin will only become more and more difficult in the future, it all depends on who can't hold on first in the end."
After hearing Lorraine's conclusion about the battle situation just now, Adele's worry has not diminished much, and she has been on edge all the time.
She knew that what Lorraine said made sense.
The undead tribe will not let Maple Leaf Danlin go. If they don't succeed this time, there will definitely be another time, and it will be even more intense than the first time.
Now hearing what Leo said seemed to be more serious than expected, Adele couldn't sit still, looked at Lorraine, and asked with concern: "Can we do something?"
Lorraine thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly and said: "It's too far away from us and beyond our reach. It's an air battle again. The role that the Flying Eagle Group can play is limited.
If it's a ground battle, we can send security troops to reinforce Maple Leaf Danlin."
Leo thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "They will not launch a ground battle directly towards Maple Leaf Danlin before the outcome of the air battle is determined."
Adele couldn't help but let out a long sigh of disappointment. It was even harder for her to sit in the back and watch the war in Maple Leaf Danlin than for her to be in Maple Leaf Danlin.
Catherine suddenly asked: "Don't our group still have a war fortress?"
Chairman Leo curled his lips and said: "Most of them are strange experimental models and do not have air combat capabilities."
As he spoke, Chairman Leo raised his fingers and said in a familiar voice: "A squadron is a professional bomber, not to mention slow. It doesn't even have weapons for self-defense.
The other squadron is an air battleship with enhanced artillery. That thing is basically a waste of money. It looks like it has strong firepower, but experiments have proved that they are not suitable for high-speed air combat.
Only one squadron is a high-altitude, high-speed reconnaissance and interception type with enhanced speed, but they are simply a bunch of aerial noobs.
Protection is sacrificed in pursuit of speed, so it is not suitable for high-intensity and long-term air combat.
Moreover, our air defense mission in the industrial center of Nai'an relies on this one squadron."
The war fortress manufactured by the Flying Eagle Group was equipped with many strange and strange things. It was also assigned some tasks that were different from other war fortresses, mainly to verify the combat effectiveness of various types of aircraft.
The Alchemy Research Institute has a special department that studies these things, and a group of guys full of bad taste spend all day disassembling and assembling different weapons.
After hearing this, Catherine could only shake her head helplessly.
"We can't have an accident in Nai'an." Chairman Leo threw away the telegram, put his hands behind his back, and said leisurely: "If our military factory in Nai'an disappears, this war will be less talked about and more fought."
Year.
Now the undead have not woken up and do not know the true strength of our Naian."
Chairman Leo clasped his hands behind his back and stared at the chimney in the distance outside the window, saying: "When they wake up, they will definitely come to Nai'an to cause trouble.
Not to mention anything else, the railway alone is enough to support half a million civilians."
Catherine and the others fell silent, sipping the hot milk in their cups. Although they didn't say anything, they all admitted in their hearts that what Leo said made sense.
Only they, the proprietresses of the Flying Eagle Group, know how important Nai'an's military industry is.
How many resources does this monster of Naian consume every month and how many finished products are produced?
In order to transport them, how many trucks and manpower need to be arranged?
Even the cannons used by Maple Leaf Danlin War Fortress and the shells consumed were produced in Nai'an.
Without ammunition, no matter how many guns you build, it will be useless.
Lorraine grabbed a few snacks from the plate and stuffed them into a few mouthfuls, drank all the hot tea in the cup in one gulp, swallowed it all with a gulp, and burped.
Then he threw down the tea cup, stretched out a lot, and told Leo: "Don't go out and run around today, someone at home has to squat on duty, Maple Leaf Danlin will not be able to fight in the next three days, but it's hard to say about other places.
Let’s go catch up on some sleep, there’s no need to wake me up if there’s no bad news.”
Chairman Leo nodded reluctantly. He was a person with nails on his butt, and being bored at home would kill him.
But the matter was so important that the chairman said with a helpless expression: "Well, I originally agreed to go to the Firearms Bureau to see a new gadget today, but it has to be postponed again.
Eh... By the way, I can ask them to send the things over."
Catherine patted Chairman Leo's chubby face and said, "It's up to you, but if you dare to run around without doing your job, I will cancel your pocket money for the next ten years."
Chairman Leo had a solemn expression and nodded heavily.
A few hours later, when Lorraine was sleeping deeply with Adele in her arms, there was a loud bang on the door.
Lorraine woke up with a start, jumped up from the bed immediately, rushed over and opened the door in two steps, and asked anxiously: "What happened?"
Leo's foot still looked like he was about to kick the door. When he saw Lorraine and Catherine sitting up, rubbing her eyes, he quickly put his foot down, put his hands behind his back and put on an innocent look, and said: "That boy De Rossi said
The emperor."
"Proclaim yourself emperor~!?" Lorraine said in a nagging voice, her mind still not clear for a moment.
Leo spread his hands and said: "I said this news is not important, but Beren insists on informing the boss."
"Be clear?" Lorraine frowned.
Leo said in one breath as if he was reciting a textbook: "According to the latest news from the front, King De Rossi of Leiria announced today that he has proclaimed himself emperor. He established the De Rossi Empire and called himself emperor. He also issued a proclamation, saying that the goal is to unify
mainland."
Lorraine's sleepiness instantly grew wings and flew away. He turned around and grabbed his coat. While putting on his clothes, he walked out and said: "This was not the case in the last war. What do the undead want to do?
Proclaiming himself emperor? Isn’t it just a puppet regime?
Doing so many evil things..."
The news of the establishment of the De Rossi Empire followed the telegraph line to the mainland. This news was as touching as the air battle in Maple Leaf Danlin. As soon as the news came out on the streets, the big shots were thinking nervously about what was hidden behind this news.
Meaning. What kind of impact will it have on the future... The undead war fortress retreated from Maple Leaf Danlin. After flying in the middle of the night and throughout the day, they flew here when the energy crystal only had the last three or four hours.
The destination of the 30,000-mile expedition was Ryder, the capital of Leiria.
At this time, the sky had turned dark, and the Lich Enes stood in front of the war fortress anxiously, staring at the human city below, with infinite feelings in his heart.
They flew all the way, covering a distance of six thousand miles. They flew through countless countries, cities and villages, and what appeared at the feet of the Lich Enes were always crisscrossed fields, dotted villages and towns, and bustling cities.
Lich Enes secretly lamented that humans were indeed much richer than Semitic people.
Although the human population is five times that of the Semitic people, this land is so fertile that even on a per capita basis, it still exceeds the Semitic people.
Lich Aenes also deeply understood why the high priest and the Semitic people never forgot this land.
Only with a large population and rich products can more mages be born.
Because of this, the number of human elemental mages is firmly at the top. And their dark mages, even with the benefit of immortality, are still shrinking in number.
The more he understands the necessity of seizing the human continent, the more uneasy Lich Enes becomes.
He messed up a crucial step in the High Priest's plan.
"No, it was Liberati who messed up," Lich Enes recited in his mind many times. Let himself firmly believe that it was the dead Lich Liberati, not his failure to attack and the defeat.
return.
The figure of Ryder City grew bigger and bigger in the eyes of Lich Enes. He was surprised to find that the city under his feet was actually brightly lit and decorated with lights.
In the fields outside the city, more than a hundred war fortresses were parked there haphazardly. The bonfires were as dense as starlight - it was these war fortresses that protected the landing of the first batch of the navy's main fleet, and then completely wiped out the peacekeeping forces by surprise.
Although these powerful war machines are brightly lit, compared with Ryder City next to them, they are as different as the light of fireflies and the difference between torches.
Lich Enes was puzzled and said to himself: "What's going on? Are there any other happy events in this city?"
With doubts in his heart, Lich Enes led the more than a hundred war fortresses remaining after the battle and landed near the village outside Ryder City.
A bright flag is hung in front of every house in the village.
Lich Enes glanced briefly. He could clearly feel the breath of human life in the small village, but he could not see a single person. It seemed that they were too scared to hide in their homes and did not dare to come out.
"These despicable people only deserve to tremble in front of us." Lich Enes, with the pride of an immortal in his heart, did not dare to stay for a moment and flew towards Ryder City.
At this time, Ryder City was decorated with red and green on the streets, but the ruins inside the city that were destroyed in the war could not be covered up.
Most of the city has been razed to the ground, with only the inner city still intact.
The inner city was even more lively, the streets were illuminated by lanterns, and there were crowds of people on the streets. Most of them were Semitic soldiers and dark mages who came with the war fortress, as if they were celebrating victory.
Lich Enes snorted angrily, and the laughter coming from under his feet was very sharp and harsh in his ears, as if everyone was mocking his failure.
A few minutes later, Lich Enes saw the high priest who came with the army in the palace.
The high priest himself seemed to be in a good mood, with a rare smile on his face.
Seeing the lich Enes, the high priest waved to him intimately and said: "My dear Enes, where is Liberati?"
Lich Enes took a deep breath, with a sad expression on his face, and said: "Replying to my lord, he is dead."
"Oh?" The high priest was stunned for a moment, his face immediately darkened, and he said, "What was the result of the battle?"
"This..." Lich Enes felt embarrassed. He hesitated for a few seconds and then said bravely: "Maple Leaf Danlin is really difficult to fight."
"I asked you what was the outcome of the battle?" the high priest scolded unhappily with a stern look on his face. He always hated such ambiguous words.
Lich Enes shivered with fright, bowed his head, and said in panic: "We failed and failed to destroy Maple Leaf Danlin's war fortress and construction factory. This is all because of Liberati..."
"How much was lost?" The high priest stared at the face of Lich Enes and asked coldly.
"Three...thirty-two." Lich Enes raised his head and glanced at the high priest secretly, then hesitantly said.
Thirty-two seats...
Hearing this, even the expressions of the attendants beside the high priest changed. The loss was too great.
The high priest was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "What do you think?"
Lich Enes hurriedly defended himself: "It was Liberati who acted wantonly..."
"I didn't ask you." The high priest raised his hand to stop Lich Enes, looked at the person beside him, and said, "Sir, what do you think?"
Lich Enes suddenly turned around and saw the undead man who was regarded as the guest of honor by the high priest walking over calmly. Facing the high priest, he nodded and said, "The enemy is unknown, the intelligence is wrong, and the command is improper.
It’s the commander’s responsibility~!”
One sentence made Lich Aenes fall into the ice cellar.
Update as soon as possible, please.
