Chapter 1664: Chapter 92: The War Ends
Elf Forest.
The disturbances of the outside world had not disrupted the tranquility of this peaceful land.
The lively little elves, bouncing around all day long, infused this tranquil land with endless vitality.
To the elder elves, the cries and laughter of the little elves were the most beautiful music in the world.
The ancient affliction that had plagued the Elf Race for tens of thousands of years was finally resolved, and the future of the race appeared promising.
“High Priest, how is the progress of the Continent Splitting Plan?”
The Forest Elf Queen asked with concern.
The progress in stirring up the continent’s geopolitical intrigue was so smoothly advanced that it made her somewhat incredulous.
Her intuition told her that things couldn’t be this simple.
The human race’s reaction was too calm, completely unlike their usual style.
This calculation was not perfect. With careful investigation, clues were bound to be found.
The biggest difference between a dominator and ordinary species is that a dominator can act without evidence; once you are identified as the culprit, it’s best if you indeed were.
In her memory, the human race was most adept at deploying schemes and plots.
Temporarily holding back, waiting for an appropriate opportunity to act, was merely a routine operation for the human race.
In past years, many species on the continent had suffered losses due to the human race in this regard.
“Your Majesty, the Continent Splitting Plan has progressed to the final step. We can sever the connection between the Elf Forest and the continent at any time.
The verification of overseas island movement has successfully concluded. Under the propulsion of the Magic Formation, the island successfully traversed the Death Land.
Considering the vastness of the Elf Forest, more Magic Formations will need to be arranged, which is expected to take another thirty years!”
The Grand Elf Priest answered with a face of holiness.
While the various races had only taken their first steps towards the great age of exploration, the Elf Race already had the capability to drive an island’s movement. This news alone was enough to shock the entire world.
However, considering the lifespan and tradition of the Elf Race, possessing such means was unsurprising. After all, this plan had been initiated as early as ten thousand years ago.
Through this process, countless manpower, financial resources, and material goods had been expended, and countless failures experienced, leading to the current results.
The ability to persist for such a long time was largely due to the long-lived rulers of the Elf Race.
Though the time frame seemed very long, in reality, it might just be a few generations of perseverance for them.
If willing to invest in research and development costs, theoretically achieving the ability to move mountains and seas with a Magic Formation is entirely possible.
“The speed is too slow!
The human race will not give us that much time, not to mention that the Cataclysm of ten thousand years is already brewing, and we might get involved again.
Let those Reapers be dealt with by the human race themselves!
Our current top priority is to speed up, striving to complete the Continent Splitting Plan within ten years, and to resume the Elf Race’s glory.”
The Forest Elf Queen shook her head and said.
The Continent of Aslante is good, but it has become a place of trouble for the current Elf Race.
If not for the difficulty of migration, she would have already taken the Elf Race and fled.
Elves take revenge, even after a thousand years!
It would not be too late to seek retribution from the human race once their strength was restored.
Based on her understanding of the human race, she was confident that internal strife would occur once external threats disappeared.
…
The tide of the era rolled forward, and after consecutively defeating the Giant Centipede and Demonic Crocodile, the ensuing wars entered a simpler mode.
Whenever the Allied Forces joined a battlefield, they were like a new wave of force that immediately broke the equilibrium.
Without much effort, they concluded the Black Forest Kingdom’s war, and following that, Hudson accepted an invitation to tour the Dante Kingdom and the South Coast Kingdom.
They did not go to the Moxi Duchy primarily because, before the Three Kingdoms in the Central Continent had finished their battles, the Moxi Duchy had already defeated its enemy forces.
By midsummer, the war situation within the Five Nations Alliance had mostly calmed.
Carrying a substantial amount of spoils, and under the farewell of nobles from various countries, the Allied Forces embarked on their journey home.
Everyone wore happy smiles on their faces.
Facts proved that fighting alongside Master Hudson indeed made it easy to get rich.
The huge convoy was transporting only part of the spoils.
Before this, the Allied Forces had already shipped war trophies back home more than ten times.
The merchant teams responsible for providing logistical support to the Allied Forces simultaneously undertook the responsibility of transporting the spoils.
Besides these spoils, there were also payments from the three kingdoms to the Allied Forces.
Due to the scarcity of financial resources, these payments could not be directly liquidated, and could only be rewarded commercially.
Starting now, for the next ten years, the commercial fleets under the nobles of the Southeastern Province will sail unimpeded within the three kingdoms.
For the two Major Nobles, this was the richest reward; for the small and medium-sized nobles, it was also an opportunity for a counterattack.
In the intense internal competition, with insufficient strength, seeking development from the outside was undoubtedly the best choice.
On the Continent of Aslante, money could buy soldiers. Combined with the basic national conditions of the Alpha Kingdom, as long as the lord’s financial power was substantial enough, the territory’s military strength would not be weak.
The Private Army has no upper limit, as long as it can be afforded. A baron owning an army of ten thousand is also possible.
Of course, Hudson had not yet encountered such a bizarre exception.
Generally, nobility with strong power would develop relatively smoothly, and a title with fiefdom would be available.
Some well-established Intermediate Aristocracy, placed in other nations, might even have military strength not weaker than some Major Nobles.
This expedition with the Southeastern Province Noble Alliance to the three kingdoms, besides obtaining substantial spoils, the biggest change was an increase in everyone’s confidence.
