In recent times, the Queen has been working hard to upgrade armaments and expand the military in order to fight the final battle with the Crusaders. Also, for the future of the empire, she has invested huge amounts in the development of the Beast Wasteland. She feels a bit stretched.
She certainly knew how important road construction and infrastructure upgrading were to a country. The problem was that her empire no longer had enough money, resources, and manpower to build infrastructure.
This made Olivia feel envious and jealous of Aslan, who was now rich. You are also an emperor, and I am also an emperor. Why are you richer than me?
In addition to envy, the empress also made up her mind to do her best to ruin this matter. She couldn't let the power of the Golden Eagle Empire become stronger.
Chapter 14: Anti-Golden Eagle Encirclement
Aslan's power has become too great.
Although she was reluctant to admit it, the Dark Elf Queen had already confirmed a very sad thing deep in her heart, that is, the power of the Golden Eagle Empire had surpassed that of the Jade Empire that she was proud of.
When Olivia realized this for the first time, she felt panic, anger, and even disbelief.
For the first time in this world, the speed at which wealth can be acquired through plunder has slowed down to a level lower than the speed at which wealth can be acquired through creation. This seems to symbolize the beginning of a new era.
Before that, whoever could plunder more resources would be the ultimate winner. But now, the new era created by Aslan is that whoever has greater productivity will be the ultimate winner.
If I compete with the Golden Eagle Empire and Aslan in terms of wealth and the speed of accumulating power, then I will definitely be the loser.
The Golden Eagle Empire's latest industrialized production method can create an unparalleled, unprecedented new world that will shock even a near-godlike powerful person like the Empress.
Perhaps this is why Saint Maria desperately supports Aslan. A world where everyone in the world can have enough food and clothing is an impossible fantasy to achieve under the productivity level of the old agricultural society.
But now, with the improvement of productivity, the world that seemed so far away in the old dreams seems to be within reach. Just thinking about it makes Teacher Maria smile happily.
"So, after all, we should use the method that the dark elves are best at solving it."
Olivia thought so in her heart and made a decision.
The so-called "dark elves' best method" is, of course, conspiracy and intrigue.
Just as Aslan had expected, the Jad Empire decided to intervene in the dispute and help their dark elf relatives in the Underdark in the north to resist further invasion by the Crusaders.
A large number of portals were opened to transport precious supplies, as well as elite warriors and training instructors who were even more precious than the supplies.
The army that the dark elves used to be proud of has fallen behind in all aspects with the advent of the new era. Whether it is their solid mithril armor, or the light crossbows in their hands, scimitars, raptors they ride, domesticated multi-headed lizards, manticores or anything else, in this era of rapid change, they are completely outdated.
This is the era of steel, gunpowder and armies of intelligent puppets!
So at the beginning, the dark elves in the northern region were still a bit irritated, and grumbled about the military instructors from the Jade Empire. Although they were jealous and resentful of their rich relatives, they accused the Jade Empire's Gouba of forgetting the fine traditional virtues of the dark elves.
It was not until they were severely beaten by the dark elves and almost showed their Ahei color that these rustic dark elves truly understood how powerful they were.
The dark elves were all submissive, seemingly S but actually M - this was the correct conclusion that Aslan and Livia had reached after a long time of discussion, and they would never accept any objection.
After being beaten by the dark elves in the city, the country bumpkin dark elves became very obedient and did whatever they were told to do. They also dreamed of letting the hard-working cannon fodder form a super-long spear phalanx like them to help them hold the line.
The dark elves were already convinced by the dark elves who came from the city. However, they felt that they could still save the Knights of the Crusades and the Golden Eagle Empire who wanted to bring them under their control. So one by one, they were as arrogant as the female ghosts.
Their theory is that the dark elves are more powerful than ordinary humans in both intelligence and physical strength, and the reason they were defeated is because there are too many humans. So if they can train those slave cannon fodder, goblin orcs, to become line-resisting super-long spearmen, then their line-resisting soldiers will be sufficient, and humans will not be able to play their numerical advantage. I am so smart!
"But these people's morale is totally low."
The military instructors from the Jade Empire complained in their hearts: "The most powerful weapons of the Crusaders and the Golden Eagles are artillery and their puppet maids. Why do they think that their failure is due to a lack of people? At least find a better excuse for yourself. You are really a bunch of losers."
"Use medicine, magic, rewards, and PUA. As long as they can hold the line, that's enough. Isn't that what slaves are used for?"
The other party's relaxed tone made some of the military instructors of the Jade Empire frown. Those people were half-elves. Because of the Jade Empire's relaxed ethnic policy, they also had certain power.
Most of them hold a relatively equal consciousness and do not regard races other than dark elves as completely hardworking.
This is also the biggest difference between the dark elves (Jad Empire) in the city and the dark elves still in the Underdark.
In order to rule more people and more land, the Jade Empire implemented a more open and inclusive ethnic policy. Especially for those who were half-blooded of dark elves and humans, they were more supportive of this policy.
This strong sense of tearing made the dark elves in the underground world and the dark elves on the surface incompatible. If they were neighbors now and had bordering territories, then I'm afraid they would no longer be in a cooperative relationship, nor a nominal relationship between a sovereign and a vassal state, but would be fighting directly.
The cooperation between the two parties was quite awkward, and neither side felt that the other was pleasing to the eye. However, there was one thing that both sides had to admit, that is, both sides needed each other.
It would be a bad idea for the dark elves in the underground world to kneel down and lick Aslan now and become his hard-working slave god and devil. They want to fight Aslan no matter what. Otherwise, they don't want to have anything to do with those guys.
The British who arrived in the New World were no longer British. Similarly, the Dark Elves who arrived on the surface were no longer Dark Elves.
In fact, in the imperial documents, the Dark Elf Queen's official name for the Dark Elf people on the surface was completely different from the Dark Elves in the underground world. She adopted the slightly arrogant title of "High Elves" to show that she was obviously different from her poor relatives in the underground world.
……
In any case, the addition of these dark elf instructors from the Jade Empire has enhanced the actual combat effectiveness of the dark elves in the underground world.
However, it was not enough. When they really experienced the power of the modern Crusaders, they would understand that there was a generation gap between them and the other side, and they were two completely different armies.
Chapter 15: Massacre in the Underdark
It was the summer of 1008, the year of the Goddess's Advent. Aslan announced the cleansing of the Underdark in the imperial capital, as well as the accusation of the evil crimes of the Dark Elves of the North.
"There is no room left in the world for these evil spirits to live."
"We will completely eradicate them, enslave and discipline them until they become a qualified part of justice and order."
"Those dark elves who are ultimately proven to be hopeless will receive the fate they deserve, which is death."
After Aslan said this, the parliament members present were silent for a few seconds, then burst into warm applause.
Ah yes, representatives of the people, representatives of the people, how can a great empire be without such a good facility as the Senate?
In order to further improve public opinion, in addition to allowing the royal tenant system and royal enterprises to happily spread across every inch of the empire, it is also necessary to win over those powerful and wealthy elites a little bit -
Of course, since almost all the land of the Golden Eagle Empire has been happily transformed into a royal tenant system, only the small gentry are left. It is very difficult for them to upgrade to become landlords and nobles and then increase the amount of land in their hands.
No, it is actually quite easy to become a noble. It's just that Aslan is now implementing the noble annuity system instead of the noble fiefdom system.
Those who have made outstanding contributions to the empire can be awarded the title of nobility. Then, they will be respectfully addressed as noble lords during the peak hours. While gaining spiritual satisfaction, they will also gain certain conveniences in life, such as priority ticket purchase rights at cinemas or opera houses.
Those who have made outstanding contributions to the empire can receive a noble annuity in addition to the noble title. This annuity is positively correlated with the noble title and the size of the merit - of course, the noble title can be downgraded and passed down, but the noble annuity cannot.
This upgraded and improved aristocracy system is basically a variant of the medal and military medal system. It will not only do no harm to the country, but will also promote incentives for all walks of life.
Although after all this was launched, the aristocratic countries in other parts of the Elam world were desperately complaining that the world was going downhill and people's hearts were no longer the same. Is it so easy for us aristocrats to be enthroned? We old money are passed down from our ancestors' ancestors. Our blood is different from that of the common people. The blood of the common people is red, and our blood is blue.
The blood is different, the species is different. It's just too disgusting. Aslan, this upstart, is really -
A lot of dirty words were said later, so I won't repeat them here. Anyway, the assassins and puppet maids under Aslan have been sent out to entangle the other party, leaving no chickens or dogs, cutting the earthworms vertically, shaking the eggs and scattering the yolks, etc. This is a punishment for this Gou Ba insulting his master Aslan.
That's it... I think we've gone off topic a bit. We were talking about the House of Representatives. No, if you think about it carefully, it's not off topic. Because the members of the House of Representatives who are looking at Aslan excitedly and applauding for him are basically all new nobles.
They were either officers and war heroes who had made contributions in various wars of the Golden Eagle Empire, or emerging capitalists who had made a fortune as small supporting factories of large enterprises in the Golden Eagle Empire during the industrial revolution. Of course, there were also some gentry who chose to support the Empress in the civil war of the Golden Eagle Empire. They bought some shops in the nearby county town and happily began to transform into small township enterprises.
These people are the core supporters of the Golden Eagle Empire. Some of them even participated in the Order Society, believed in Aslanism, and were fanatical supporters of Aslan.
Although Aslan used the puppet maid to establish an unprecedented and invincible grassroots governance system in the world, and his control over the Golden Eagle Empire has reached an invincible level, these fanatical supporters are still necessary supplements.
The parliament composed of these people, who were representatives of public opinion, further strengthened the legitimacy of the Golden Eagle Empire's rule - although in reality they were of no use other than cheering loudly for Aslan and supporting all of his proposals.
"That's it! We will declare war on those evil dark elves in the North!"
"We want justice to be done!"
"We will restore those lands to true order!!"
As Aslan's roars grew louder and louder, everyone in the parliament cheered and applauded louder and louder. Aslan even felt that if he didn't stretch out his hands to press down, indicating that everyone didn't need to applaud anymore, the group of people would applaud until the muscles in his hands were broken and the bones were exposed.
In this way, a war between the Golden Eagle Empire and the Dark Elves is about to begin.
In response, Aslan and his harem cabinet expressed stability.
Although he spoke passionately in the parliamentary speech, in fact, Aslan and his harem basically did not take the war seriously.
The Five-Year Plan did not only strengthen the empire's economic and industrial and agricultural strength. The modern army that Aslan had been looking forward to was also happily established.
The military power of the Golden Eagle Empire is now at its strongest. The head maids in charge of the military have been eager to find a lucky audience to test their new weapons.
The dark elves in the Underdark are now of just the right size and length. It would be a shame not to launch a crusade against the Underdark.
Just like that, with Aslan's speech, the world once again ushered in war after five years of peace.
A total of 80,000 extremely elite imperial troops, armed to the teeth, entered the Underdark.
In fact, the war in the Underdark had already begun before this. Before this, the outposts established by the Crusaders deep underground played a huge role in this battle.
After hearing the news that the imperial army had finally declared war on an invasion, the dark elves, feeling that they had become much more powerful, decided to strike first and remove this thorn in their side.
Then they launched an attack on the fortress bastions of these outposts, and then they were completely defeated as expected.
At this time, the dark elves finally understood some surprising truths. The phalanx of muskets + super-long spears was indeed very strong in outdoor encounters. But such tactics were of no help in sieges, assholes!
Chapter 16 The construction of the underground railway started smoothly
After continuously deploying cannon fodder troops, elite cannon fodder troops, and super cannon fodder troops, the final result was still being beaten to a pulp by the Crusaders. The dark elves finally realized how huge the generation gap was between them and the Crusaders. The original tactic of trying to eliminate the opponent's outpost before the Crusaders all came in was ultimately proven to be a huge mistake.
Apart from the loss of soldiers and the great setback of the morale of the entire coalition, it did not play any other role. When the Crusaders came, the siege finally turned into an unparalleled retreat. And during the retreat, the soldiers were lost and the army was covered in dust. The training that they had received from the military instructors of the Jade Empire was completely forgotten.
The phalanx tactics, which were originally planned to be able to stop the Crusaders as cannon fodder troops, were ultimately proven to be completely useless.
It is only because these troops have to use magic or drugs to maintain their morale.
However, if they used drugs, these soldiers would fall into a frenzy and be unable to extricate themselves, and would be completely unable to form a battle array. If they used magic to support morale, the magic would be directly broken by the magicians accompanying the enemy, and they would just run away.
In this case, they would have one less reason to grit their teeth and continue fighting.
Originally, the plan of these dark elves was to let the cannon fodder take the front while they would clear the front or attack from the flank. But now that there is no front, what are we waiting for? We don't need to outrun the Crusaders, we just need to outrun our comrades. My comrades will die, but I will not die.
Basically, every dark elf has this idea.
Can such an army fight a good battle? I tell you, it can't.
So the Crusaders originally expected to fight two or three battles with the dark elves in the underground world before they could happily win. But unexpectedly, because of the national characteristics of the dark elves, they didn't need to fight at all, and they just killed GG in one wave. I really don't know how to evaluate it.
In this way, the Empire's war against the Underdark in the Northern Territory quickly evolved from defense to pursuit, and from pursuit to siege.
Because of the Empire's superb heavy siege artillery and giant mortars, the dark elf cities on the opposite side that thought they were impregnable fell in minutes.
When these dark elf cities fell, the other dark elf cities, after confirming that the dark elf city in front of them had been defeated so quickly, made a decision as quickly as possible and sent envoys to the Crusaders' camp to discuss surrender.
And if there is one, there will be a second one. If there is a second one, then all the other city-states will rush to surrender. This is because these Gouba are afraid that if they surrender a little slowly, the city-states of those Gouba bitches who have grudges against them will act as guides and plot against their own city-states.
In this inhospitable atmosphere, the fierce fighting and infighting that the Crusaders had expected did not occur at all. The dark elves behaved as obediently as possible, and those mistresses who were usually extremely arrogant and high-handed were now looking for ways to enter Aslan's harem and be fucked by His Majesty Aslan until he showed his face.
Although in reality Aslan had no interest in these bitches. If anything, he just treated them as bitches for his own amusement. After all, it was more troublesome to have sex with dark elves, but it was still nice to see the dark elves dancing a girl group dance for him to liven up the mood——
Although Aslan's plan was opposed by all members of the harem after it was proposed, and ultimately came to nothing, the dark elves still rushed to declare their surrender. Even though Aslan had already decided to take relatively severe punishment measures against the dark elves in the Underdark of the Northern Territory.
In other words, Aslan decided to move all the dark elves in the Underdark to the surface. Some of them would be gathered together to form a small autonomous state, some would be dispersed to various places, and some would join the army. This would minimize the power and influence of the dark elves.
Because of the Dark Elves' own herd system, there are more women and fewer men. Therefore, it is very difficult to quickly expand the number of half-elves. Coupled with certain future policy inclinations, Aslan can guarantee that in the future political map of the empire, the Dark Elves will obviously not occupy a very important position. Even weaker than other ethnic minorities, such as dwarves, elves and giants, this is also their fate.
Perhaps the fate of the dark elves will only change when the new generation and the new generation of dark elves have all grown up.
……
In any case, in the summer of 1008, a super short battle ended.
Because of the poor performance of the dark elves, many people complained that the dark elf Gou Ba was too weak. As for the evaluation of the Golden Eagle Empire's army, there was no change, just "as sharp as before, bastards". They didn't seem to realize how powerful the upgraded and strengthened imperial army had become. They just attributed the result of this war to the fact that the dark elves were too weak.
So after the war, other countries except the Jade Empire became interested in the dark areas under their own countries.
The most convenient way to improve one's national strength is to rob and occupy and annex. Now the Golden Eagle Empire and those countries on the ground seem to be difficult to deal with. The Old World is easy to deal with. But there are not enough people there, and it is impossible to collect taxes. So it is not a good territory after rounding off.
The Underdark is different. The dark elves are very wealthy slave owners. They have accumulated wealth for thousands of years and built magnificent palaces and city-states.
Originally, the people on the surface were afraid of the power of the dark elves and thought that the dark elves in the Underdark were very strong. So they could only grumble a little, and that was it.
But now, with the Empire's easy occupation of the Dark Zone in the North, they began to have some associations.
The army of the Golden Eagle Empire > the dark elves of the Underdark.
We have carried out the same military reforms as the Golden Eagle Empire, so our military strength is basically the same as that of the Golden Eagle Empire.
So our army > Dark Elves of the Underdark.
In that case, what are you waiting for? Dark elves, give me some gold coins!
And so, in 1008, the Underdark welcomed more human expeditions.
Chapter 17: The Full Invasion of the Underdark
“There is actually such a thing.”
After learning that various countries had begun to attack the Underdark, Aslan could not help but sigh, and then nothing happened again.
Let them be, don't worry about them, it's better to carry out the second five-year plan. Although in fact, it seems that the Golden Eagle Empire has the strength to blow up the whole fucking world on its own. But Aslan still feels that he should practice harder for a while, and after completing the second five-year plan, which is to focus on the beast wasteland in the east, and turn the beast wasteland into his own territory, he can carry out the plan for the whole fucking world of Olive.
In a sense, Aslan also likes the current peaceful and tranquil state.
Or, in other words, there are very few people in this world who are still interested in war after truly experiencing the cruelty of war. Although Aslan also likes the thrilling feeling of war, he still thinks that peace construction is the best.
After completely defeating the dark elves in the Northern Territory, the next step is to wipe out the dark elves in the underground world of the Golden Eagle Empire.
