I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

Both the Lalor and Wangdu fronts are composed entirely of veteran troops, while the newly formed Torines Front adopts the old-leading-new model to expand the mechanized division.

The army expansion training was carried out with two-thirds of the troops being veterans and one-third being new recruits. Once they had acquired basic combat effectiveness, the newly formed division-level troops were transported to Torines to be formed into the army.

At that time, this army will go straight to Torines to open up a channel for joining forces with the Ovinian rebels, connect the forces of both sides into a line, and finally retreat and advance to complete the unification.

The troops of the original military region remained unchanged and remained highly vigilant against the neighboring countries. Medea was curious to see who would be so blind as to join in.

Anna beside him said: "The Kingdom of Palia has already elected a new king. They should not ignore our growth. After all, we robbed two of their lords~"

Medea retorted: "What are you trying to rob? How can that be considered robbing? Since ancient times, it has always been a disputed area where two tribes coexist. Whoever is stronger will get it. There is no problem."

Anna covered her mouth and chuckled: "Yes, yes, yes!"

"I just want to remind you. You asked me to be in charge of that place. I found that a large number of civilian slaves from Palia often cross the Pralo Line to live with us."

"This phenomenon has become more and more serious over time. Paglia has informed us many times but I didn't respond. Now they have probably reached the point where they can no longer tolerate it."

Medea teased Xiaobai who had climbed onto the desk, and the latter lay on his back with his legs spread out, enjoying Medea's touch:

"Doesn't this prove the superiority of our political system? Although the common people are easy to fool, they are also the most able to see clearly where they can live and have a future."

Anna exclaimed: "I don't know how you came up with these policies. It feels like you have seen them before. I have seen ours do this in history books."

Medea said calmly: "It was what it was before, and there will be more and more in the future."

"As long as we can continue to exist, we can be like a lighthouse on the shore, guiding those who are lost to find their way home again."

"but..."

Anna expressed her concerns: "How should we deal with the Mage Saint in the capital of Ovinia?"

"Leave that old man to me, but I need you, little queen, to make a promise." The elusive Shelia appeared.

"Hmm? What promise?"

Chapter 93: Shared values ​​and aspirations

"The royal bloodline must be preserved, otherwise we will most likely have to fight him. In this case, I cannot control the scale of the battle, and your capital's hundreds of thousands of troops will most likely be wiped out."

Medea rubbed Xiaobai's belly and thought, "If I win, I will take the lives of King Owenia's direct bloodline, and the royal family can be spared."

'No matter whether you are male or female, old or young?'

"Whatever! I don't have the bad habit of having an enemy boy."

"That's all I ask. Either you leave the rest of this family behind and get out of here, or I'll kill his entire family, including him, even if it means I die for hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Xue Liya smiled and said: "It's not that serious. The witches are all your backers. As long as you are right, you don't have to worry about those old guys not being able to play with you."

"Well...can you tell me the truth, that is...is there a god among the witches?"

Medea really wanted to know this question, but she didn't know how to start it before. Now that they were talking about the issue of strength, she just asked it.

"A god? That depends on how you view gods. If you are talking about the goddess of magic, or the true god like the mother goddess of the world, then there is no such thing. She is the only one who has fallen in this world."

"If you're talking about a false god like the Goddess of Light, then there is one."

Xue Liya's expression was a little subtle: "In fact, it is easy to distinguish whether there is a god or not. If a race wants to have a recognized clan name on the continent, having a god is a necessary prerequisite."

'The same is true for a country that wants to be called an empire. Without God, one cannot be an empire. Therefore, many empires on the continent have a large clan behind them, which is an indispensable foundation.'

Medea said "Oh" and felt a little deflated. She was nothing if there were so many gods everywhere. She was just a nobody. She was just a bunch of idiots. She was afraid that some god would dislike her and kill her with a slap.

Xuelia flew over and hugged her head:

'What are you worried about? Don't you think about why I'm here? The higher you are, the less you need to worry. Just do what you are doing now and leave the rest to us.'

"I don't know if it's you or us who are lucky. Every big clan has a supporter, but our witch clan doesn't. Do you know why?"

Xue Liya didn't keep the secret for long: "Because our group is too diverse, apart from the identity of witches, we may be dwarves, elves, or even demons before this, so it seems inappropriate for us to support anyone."

'Because the awakened races are diverse. Our connection is actually very fragile, and everyone's ideas are inconsistent. If we rashly support a single race and introduce external forces, it may break the balance and cause us to fall into internal strife.'

"And what you are doing now coincides with the current predicament of us witches."

Looking at the workers from various factories walking hurriedly outside the window, they have different appearances and body shapes, but they all wear the same clothes and do similar work.

Xue Liya sighed: "Dwarves, humans and orcs working together in the same place, except here, and only in the place where slaves are kept~"

"Comrades, we all like this phrase. '

......

Just as Medea and the others predicted, King Ovinia did ask for help, and both the Kingdom of Alesia and Palia showed great enthusiasm for an alliance.

Palia had an old grudge, and Alesia also had a piece of land occupied by Seris. More importantly, they could not accept the rise of a more powerful kingdom.

When the Kingdom of Ovinia was at its peak, their living space had already been severely compressed, and they had long been traumatized psychologically.

However, such a powerful country was replaced by another regime from within, and it was a regime that was extremely hostile to the aristocracy. It was hard for them to imagine how difficult their future days would be.

Therefore, the great nobles within Alesia have reached a consensus.

No matter what, they had to find a way to interrupt the unification of Seris, not for the sake of that damn Ovinia III, but for themselves.

However, in addition to these two potential enemies, the Seris Federation also welcomed a friend from afar, the envoy of the Dwarf Kingdom of Secaster.

Seris and Secaster do not have a border. Maybe there was one in the past, but there is none now because the Kingdom of Palia has been constantly encroaching on their territory.

The dwarf kingdom of Secaster was in a bit of an awkward situation. In terms of weapons, Palia was not as good as them, but in terms of war acumen, since the whole country was basically plains, they were really beaten by the nomadic Palia cavalry.

Palia played particularly dirty, because dwarves were born with a strong talent for forging, so Palia implemented the Three Alls Policy, which included both fighting and looting.

As long as they captured a region of Secaste, they would rob the people and take them all away to be slaves. Those they didn't want could also be traded to other countries.

It can be said that the reason why Palia was able to continue to expand in the subcontinent was largely due to the contribution of the dwarf slave craftsmen.

Just a while ago, their Praven area was also attacked by Palia, which was very embarrassing.

The Dwarf Kingdom was like a breeding farm, being harvested by Palia from time to time.

Therefore, they developed a strong interest in Seris, a new country that could in turn seize Palia's territory.

They were not only interested in their fighting power, but more importantly, the inclusiveness of the Seris regime gave them hope.

Compared to being held captive by Palia and bleeding constantly, the Seris Alliance, which is not inferior in military strength, may be able to bring them a new turn of events.

At least... no matter what the outcome is, it won't be worse than their current situation.

"I understand the logic, but...are you sure you want to leave her with us?"

Medea looked at the tiny brown-haired dwarf in front of her...little loli (?), with a strange expression on her face.

"Oh yes, Your Majesty, Nayi is our king's favorite little princess. You also know that we are currently at war with Palia, so... we hope to allow her to live in your country for a while."

The dwarf messenger looked at the little Loli kindly and spoke respectfully to Medea.

"...All right."

"I have no general objection to the alliance. The Foreign Minister will discuss the specific matters with you in detail."

Seeing the envoy retreat respectfully, leaving only the little girl and two maids in the reception room, Medea looked at her and asked: "...What's your name?"

Seeing the queen looking at her, Nayi, who had been looking up at Medea curiously, tugged at the hem of her skirt and whispered, "Tursunnayi Yarolim Blakovachevich."

Medea: "......"

"You can just call me Nayi."

"Okay, little Nayi."

"I am not young anymore! I am already thirty years old as a human being!!!"

"Oh~ 6 years old~ Call me big sister!"

Nayi: “…”

Chapter 94: Internal and external difficulties, goblin technology.

Medea had no idea about the Dwarf Kingdom's move to let the little princess seek political asylum in Seris. The Dwarf King had already gone to the front line, so the situation must be very bad.

As the first country to establish diplomatic relations with the Seris Federation, the Dwarf Kingdom also reciprocated by having the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Industry provide certain military assistance to the Sexter Kingdom.

For example, some firearms that were previously replaced and eliminated, as well as some muzzle-loading wheeled field guns and wooden-handled grenades sold at low prices.

Unlike the howitzer field guns currently used by Seris, this is a cast iron cannon that uses black powder to fire solid projectiles and shrapnel shells, which is specially designed to reduce the difficulty of manufacturing.

If Sexter needs it, technology transfer is also possible. Medea even hopes that they will buy the production technology of this thing, otherwise it will just be in a rotten warehouse.

In fact, the Sexter Kingdom can also imitate old-style weapons, but the quality control cannot be guaranteed, and the gap in production capacity is as huge as heaven and earth.

Now most of the factories in the Seris Federation have been upgraded to primary pulsating production lines, which means that people don't move but machines move.

Through the use of steam conveyor belts and transfer workers, people in each workshop are only responsible for the cutting and assembly of one of the workpieces, and the production speed is extremely fast.

However, the biggest problem Sexter faces is how to bring these military supplies back safely. After all, Palia is not stupid and will not just sit there and watch his opponent grow stronger.

At this time, Tina, who was far away in the Kingdom of Olivia, sounded the clarion call for a counterattack after the kingdom's rebellion army withdrew.

A large number of oppressed petty nobles and small landowners began to disobey orders and completely allowed the civilians under their control to riot.

The civilian uprising forces that were no longer suppressed naturally began to expand rapidly, and some of them even had the shadows of small landowners and small nobles behind them.

Although there were various banners among them, most of them were based on Media's political ideas, because no matter how you look at it, Media's theory could bring them more tangible benefits.

Don't talk about being crowned kings or generals. I rebelled because I couldn't survive. I rebelled to survive! I will listen to whoever can solve my food problem. It's that simple.

The civil unrest in the rear also affected the war on the front lines. The most direct impact was that they almost never saw any new baggage trains delivering supplies, and they were using everything in stock during this period.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Seris' navy went south to bombard the port of Bonwich. Seris cut off Ovinia's sea supply line.

The frequency of attacks by the armored forces on the front battlefield of Seris became increasingly higher, and from time to time they would launch large-scale artillery bombardments, destroying the defense facilities that they had spent a great deal of money to repair.

Although Seris did not dare to use his soldiers to charge multiple times because of the hand-cranked machine guns, the horrific consumption of ammunition by the machine guns also made the Lalor defenders almost unable to hold on.

What's more, Seris had no time to send armored train guns to approach and bombard the military factories in the city, which had a great impact on their own production capacity.

However, Seris also had a headache. They had already reached the city of Lalor, but the appearance of a new force pushed them back.

That is the Vatican's mecha unit that has never appeared before.

Although the three-meter-tall soldier's body cannot cause such large-scale damage as the previous captain-level ones, it still has a lethality that cannot be underestimated.

The long-range enemy can use Seris's field artillery to exchange waves of attacks in a short period of time, and in close combat, it can easily destroy an armored tracked vehicle with two strikes.
