Chapter 716 Elf Empire

Tsunamis and major earthquakes are just the beginning of disasters. The violent impact also caused weather changes at sea. The intersection of hot and cold air currents produced thick clouds.

With the help of typhoons, these clouds are constantly drifting away. During the movement, many clouds were overwhelmed and turned into rain and fell in a gurgling manner.

There are also many clouds that continue to drift in the wind. The rain starts from the sea and gradually spreads to the mainland.

As soon as the family members were settled, the rain began to fall. Seeing this scene, Hudson once wanted to intervene manually, but after careful consideration, he finally gave up.

The source of the violent storm that swept across was the sea. Although the impact was over, the ocean did not calm down.

The energy generated by the impact was conducted into the seawater and did not disappear directly. Instead, it was converted into waves and stored. All kinds of huge waves, one after another.

As long as the turbulence in the sea continues, the accompanying wind and waves will never end. Blindly passing to intercept is simply a mantis trying to block the car.

It is naturally possible to intervene with extraordinary power, but the prerequisite is that it is within its own accommodation range. Hudson obviously does not have the ability to instantly calm the waves on the sea.

If we forcefully intervene, many of the clouds that were just passing by may turn into rain and fall.

"Have the losses been calculated?"

After summing up all the losses, more than 18,000 people in the Mountain Territory died, more than 13,000 people were missing, and the losses to various facilities and industries totaled more than 5 million gold coins. "

The most troublesome thing is the human losses. Less than one in ten craftsmen and skilled workers who worked overtime on the day of the earthquake survived.

"Immediately organize manpower to start post-disaster reconstruction work. Prioritize repairing houses to ensure people's daily living. This heavy rain will not stop for a while!"

After hearing the numbers reported by David, Hudson looked extremely ugly. The loss of the slaves is nothing more. The dead ones are all orcs anyway, so we can just send people to arrest them later.

The missing people in tsunamis and earthquakes are already linked to death in a sense. Hudson does not believe that ordinary people can survive this level of natural disasters.

In numerical terms, the Mountain Territory's population loss was close to two percent. Moreover, most of the people who lost their jobs were young and strong, mainly engaged in shipbuilding and fishing. The sudden bad news will be a fatal blow to these two industries.

In the case of Xueyue Territory's long-term financial deficit, the Mountain Territory has always played the role of financial sponsor. If you need money, you need money, if you need food, you need food. The Koslow family's standing army is all raised here.

Without several years of accumulation, there is no way to return to the peak.

The impact on agriculture is relatively small. However, many cracks appeared in the territory, which affected the normal irrigation of crops, and many water conservancy projects needed to be repaired.

Industrially: Mines collapsed in many places, and almost all of the original mines were buried. The orc slaves responsible for mining suffered losses of as much as 50,000 yuan.

“Duke, at present we have only calculated the approximate losses.

Compared with the vast Xueyue Territory, the Mountain Territory is much smaller, but because it was developed earlier, it is the financial and tax center of the Koslow family.

Up to now, the Mountain Territory has a population of nearly two million and has complete agricultural and military production capabilities. Taken alone, this land of foundation is enough to support a large noble family.

In the meeting hall, Hudson asked with concern.

But the territory's population loss cannot be made up for in a short time. Even if the serfs were allowed to create humans immediately, it would take eighteen years for them to grow up.

Affected by the tsunami, shipyards in coastal areas were severely damaged. Many mechanical equipment were swept away by the sea water.

The fishery industry has suffered the most serious losses. The life and death of the ships going out to sea are now unknown. Half of the ships staying in the port have been damaged, and those that survived need to be overhauled.

In addition, many factory buildings collapsed, and some raw materials and mechanical equipment were damaged, which had a serious impact on industrial production.

In recent years, Hudson's voice in the kingdom has continued to increase. In addition to his outstanding military exploits, his strength is also an important factor.

……

He could barely accept the financial losses. It's just a few days of hard life, but you can always get through it if you think of a way.

Hudson said solemnly.

First there were earthquakes, tsunamis, and then heavy rains. One after another, natural disasters came one after another. It was obvious that they were not prepared to make people feel easy.

The popular term "100,000-year catastrophe" suddenly popped into Hudson's mind. A natural and man-made disaster of this level is a catastrophe!

Had the government's organizational capabilities been slightly weaker, the lethality caused by this heavy rain would have exceeded previous earthquakes and tsunamis.

The frail, old and weak are often the first to be eliminated in such natural disasters. If you don't pay attention, another big epidemic will brew, and the "Hegemony Server" will be fully stacked.

"As ordered!"

Everyone replied in unison.

The strong martial spirit affected every corner of the territory. Even if he is a civil servant, he is still someone who can carry a gun and go to the battlefield.

Through years of reserve training, everyone has become more or less infected with the military style. In addition, the territorial bureaucracy is filled with a large number of retired officers and soldiers, which exacerbates this impact.

Shocked by Hudson's momentum, everyone habitually regarded government orders as military tasks, and their bodies reacted instinctively.

Without paying attention to these details, Hudson had already left after the order was given.

Compared with Shandi Ling, which has been in business for a long time, Xueyue Ling, which started late, is what Hudson needs to worry about.

The land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are so many infrastructures that have not kept pace. The territory's personnel team building is also lagging behind.

It’s not that Hudson doesn’t want to improve the personnel system, but it can establish an administrative agency, and it also needs to consider economic benefits.

It is already in a state of loss. If too many off-duty officials are deployed, it will not only further increase the fiscal deficit, but also reduce the labor force involved in production and construction.

……

The Elf King's Court.

A group of high-ranking elves gathered together with solemn expressions. The sudden disaster confused the oldest race on this continent.

Because of their profound racial background and more information, the elves have always had a sense of superiority when facing various races on the mainland.

Especially with the smooth progress of the continent-splitting plan, many high-level elves looked at the various races on the mainland as if they were looking at fools.

Even the human race, who are the overlords of the continent, in the eyes of these arrogant elves, are just a group of pitiful people who are about to die without realizing it.

The message of superiority was unequal. After the fall of the Kingdom of God, everything changed.

The cruel reality told them that the prophecies left by the Elf God were not exhaustive, and accidents could also happen. This natural disaster is the best example. If their plan to split the continent is completed in advance and they encounter this natural disaster during their migration, it is still unknown whether the elves can survive.

After wandering on the edge of life and death, a group of high-level elves suddenly woke up. Even gods can perish, let alone the prophecies left by gods.

If it is truly an exhaustive plan, then today, when the gods have fallen, the Elf God has become the only invincible god in the world, enjoying the faith of all races on the mainland.

"Your Majesty, due to the impact of the Kingdom of God's impact on the ocean, the land-splitting plan has encountered the most severe challenge. Many of the magic arrays we deployed have broken under the impact.

Repairing these magic circles cannot be accomplished in a short time. It is estimated that our departure time will be delayed by at least ten years.

What's just as bad is that after this collision, the situation overseas also changed, and we need to re-reconnaissance before we can determine the route forward. "

The high priest never mentioned the losses to the clan, but all the high-ranking elves present were insiders and knew everything about the clan's family fortune.

The whole continent is in bad luck, and the elves are certainly no exception. It is normal for coastal areas to be hit by tsunamis, internal mines to collapse, and water conservancy projects to be damaged.

Fortunately, not only elves live in the Elf Forest. Due to its own population, a large number of production tasks are completed by vassal races, which reduces their population losses to a certain extent.

The specific data has not been calculated, but the number of elves involved in accidents across the country must be tens of thousands.

For the human race, such a small population loss, which is more than that of any small country, is not worth mentioning at all, but the elves need physical pain.

Even if fertility is restored, the population growth of the elves will be restricted by the population base.

“Time waits for no one, the high priest should adjust his plan!

We were too ambitious before. If we divided up a large area of ​​land at once, we might not be able to successfully complete the migration.

It is already very difficult to take away the Elf Forest. Although the method of migration that drives a land was left by the elves and gods and has been proven by the ancestors of the past generations, it may not be without flaws.

If something unexpected happens midway, the wealth we have accumulated may not be able to handle all kinds of emergencies calmly! "

The forest elf queen said seriously.

Externally, the three major elven kingdoms stand side by side. But within the elves, the forest elf queen has the most say.

When the life and death of a race is involved, this is not the time for democracy. As the most orthodox queen, the Forest Elf Queen made a decision directly.

"Sister, if we give up now, all our previous efforts will be in vain!"

The Night Elf Queen said unwillingly.

The elves, who have always had little interest in land, expanded uncharacteristically and rapidly during the last continental war in preparation for their departure.

Determined to leave and carve up the continental heritage for the last time, the more the better.

“It’s better to be in vain than never to leave!

The seven fallen kingdoms of gods surrounded the Aslant continent. You don’t think it’s just a coincidence, do you?

That is the kingdom of God. It was not mentioned in the prophecy of the Elf God, but that does not mean that there is no danger.

In the past countless years, many souls have entered the Kingdom of God. It would be okay if they died together with the gods, but if they survived by chance, no one knew what would happen to the petitioners whose faith collapsed.

The plan to split the continent must be accelerated. I have a feeling that the real catastrophe is coming. If we don't leave, we won't be able to leave even if we want to! "

The forest elf queen explained solemnly.

The more you know, the more you know awe. The demise of the gods was too strange. They were all ancient antiques that had lived for countless years, and they did not even struggle to their death. This was completely unreasonable.

As a long-lived race, and a long-lived race that has killed gods, the elves have never stopped researching gods in private.

The Kingdom of God's Cage is a secret in the outside world, but here at the Elf Queen, it is just one of many continental secrets.

Before the gods fell, the Forest Elf Queen did not dare to think so much about the gods, but it was different now.

After losing the shackles in my heart, many mysteries that were originally unsolvable suddenly became clear.

Her intuition told her that danger was approaching the mainland and she had to leave as soon as possible.

"Sister, if we send someone into the Kingdom of God to investigate, we might get unexpected results!"

The prairie elf queen on the side suggested eagerly.

The legacy of the gods is really too coveted. Countless years of accumulation cannot all be destroyed in one go. Gaining something at random might make their strength even further.

After glancing at the elves, the forest elf queen said angrily: "If you are not afraid of being inhabited by gods and taking away your body, just go and try it!

I don't believe that those old guys will all die. If it was really a fatal situation, the gods would not sit back and wait for death.

Even if it is really extinct, then the Kingdom of God is the tomb of the gods. No one wants to be disturbed after death. If you arrange some back-ups in the Kingdom of God, you and I can be killed.

Our clan did kill many gods in ancient times, but those were all fools who left the Kingdom of God. In the Kingdom of God, the gods are almost omnipotent.

It is not just religious propaganda that believers can obtain eternal life in the Kingdom of God, but it can actually be achieved.

You have all seen the secrets of the clan. If the gods have arranged it in advance, how much price do we need to pay to conquer a kingdom of God? "

As soon as the words fell, the elves who were eager to give it a try suddenly stopped.

Although the legacy of the gods is good, your own life is more important. I had thoughts before, but I was blinded by greed. Now that I have woken up, I can't continue to seek death.

"Your Majesty is right, we really can't take risks. When it's time to let go, we must let go. Everything is for the continuation of the race. At this time, we cannot put the cart before the horse!

When the elves split, it was to lower the vigilance of the humans. Now that the situation has changed, it is no longer appropriate to continue the separation of the three kingdoms.

I propose that the three kingdoms merge and reorganize the Elf Empire to cope with the coming chaos! "

The high priest's suggestion made the atmosphere in the hall suddenly tense.

Since ancient times, it has been easy to divide but difficult to unify.

The Three Kingdoms have been divided for countless years, and now they are suddenly about to merge, and the interests involved are not the smallest bit.

If this is done well, the reintegrated elves will become even more powerful. If the coordination of interests fails, I am afraid that even the current relationship cannot be maintained.
