King

At dawn, looking at the desolate land, Hudson's eyes were moist.

"Go back to the Lord's Mansion!"

He had no time to pay attention to the gutter in front of him. I just wandered around in the air, and there were scenes of landslides and ground cracks everywhere.

Countless buildings and water conservancy projects were damaged, and what worried Hudson the most was the coastal areas.

Judging from the results of his observations, seven divine kingdoms fell into the sea around Aslant continent last night.

The violent impact caused a major earthquake to occur throughout the continent, not to mention the sea areas that were directly affected.

A tsunami is inevitable, and it may not be long before a heavy rainfall hits the mainland.

Adding some natural disasters such as tornadoes to the mix would not surprise Hudson at all.

Xueyue Territory and Mountain Territory, which enjoy the convenience of Haili, will definitely suffer huge losses this time.

A caravan going out to sea will most likely be destroyed. How much of the fleet remaining in port can survive depends entirely on luck.

Low-lying areas were submerged by seawater, ports were swallowed up by waves, and docks were reduced to...

A series of disaster scenes kept reappearing in Hudson's mind, but he had to restrain his emotions.

Looking at his wife and children who were in shock, Hudson once again comforted:

"You don't have to worry too much. The disaster has passed. We can still afford some losses!"

No matter how bad the situation is, it is still much better than when we started our business.

What's more, this time the disaster hit the whole world.

Compared to the sea races who were smashed into pulp and the earth-centered races who were directly buried, they were much luckier.

After walking on the edge of life and death, Hudson took another step forward in understanding the laws of fate.

Sighing deeply in his heart about the fickleness of fate, Hudson suddenly fell into an epiphany.

Frankly speaking, the epiphany on this occasion was indeed somewhat inappropriate.

However, the understanding of laws can never be measured by common sense.

…

Emerald Palace.

The sudden natural disaster confused Caesar IV and all the palace ministers.

"Ancestor, what is this natural disaster?"

Natural disasters have been the number one enemy of the feudal dynasty since ancient times. The collapse of many dynasties began with large-scale natural disasters.

In normal times, he and Alpha I were at odds, but when it came to the life and death of the dynasty, everyone was still on their own.

"Don't worry too much. The big earthquake last night was caused by the fall of the Kingdom of God, and the entire continent was in turmoil.

You just need to take strict precautions against cults causing chaos, and order all localities to organize timely disaster relief to stabilize people's hearts! "

Alpha I said with a solemn expression.

Fortunately, all the gods fell together. Otherwise, someone would make a fuss about this and insist that the king offended the gods and caused disaster. It would be difficult to explain.

He sounded relaxed, but deep down Alpha I was equally panicked.

First the gods fell, and then the Kingdom of God fell. No one could tell what would happen next.

Even a strong man like him would have no power to resist a disaster of this level.

“Prime Minister, first arrange for someone to count the losses in the royal capital.

By the way, I sent someone to inquire about the disaster situation in each province, and ordered the governors of each province to be on alert to prevent cult organizations from taking advantage of the situation! "

Caesar IV immediately made arrangements.

The news of the fall of the Kingdom of God is indeed shocking, but with the news of the fall of the gods as a foreshadowing, it is not so unacceptable.

Everything else is easy to talk about, the key is to stabilize the situation first.

Fortunately, the kingdom has been recuperating in recent years and has not bothered with other things. Everyone has accumulated something.

“Your Majesty, please rest assured.

We had already started implementing these things when the earthquake happened yesterday.

It is expected that the preliminary damage situation of the royal capital will be available tomorrow afternoon. Local loss statistics take longer and may not be compiled until next month.

Cults have nothing to worry about.

Since the July Society and the Skull and Bones Society fell silent one after another, the kingdom's cult organizations have become insignificant and cannot make any big waves now.

Compared with these problems, what is more troublesome is the fallen Kingdom of God.

After all, this is a place where gods lived. There are so many people interested in it, and I’m afraid there will be another fight between dragons and tigers! "

Prime Minister Becket's words made Caesar IV feel a little embarrassed.

It's really too upright. The government just does it. Saying it in such a careless way makes the king seem to be below the standard.

Everyone present was not a fool and knew very well what Prime Minister Beckett meant by saying this.

After being brutally slapped in the face, Caesar IV was still unable to have a seizure. The fact that the government can implement it ahead of schedule is a reflection of its ability to govern.

There was no report to him, the king, in advance because the statistics hadn't come out yet. There is no need to tell him about this king since he has no results in his hands.

While attacking, he also gave a step up, directly changing the topic and downplaying the aggressiveness.

The superb political skills made the people on the scene secretly shout for knowledge.

"Ancestor, these fallen kingdoms of gods are very attractive to you, right?"

Caesar IV took the topic without changing his expression and said.

How powerful the old fox in conservative politics is, he knows better than anyone else that what he just did was just a demonstration.

Experience told him that if he persisted in holding on to such a trivial matter, he would only be the one to suffer in the end.

When you encounter these old foxes in politics, you definitely cannot bear the pressure alone. You must bring your ancestors to feel it together.

"This is natural. There is a legacy left by the gods in the Kingdom of God, and no one cares about it.

It's just that after all, it is a place where the gods have lived. After countless years of management, the Kingdom of God must be full of all kinds of dangers.

If you are not careful, a strong person in the holy realm will lose his life.

According to my observations last night, there were about seven kingdoms of gods that crashed near the continent of Aslant.

With the strength of the kingdom, there is still a chance to grab one of them. "

Alpha I said with a smile.

He said he was interested, but there was no trace of greed in his eyes. This scene surprised everyone.

There are still people who are not interested in the inheritance of the gods.

However, this is the fact. For Alpha I, who has stepped into the path of emperor, nothing can improve his strength faster than regaining the throne.

At this time, the Alpha Kingdom was much more prosperous than when he left.

Once digested, further improvement in strength is almost inevitable.

With these visible roads and uncertain divine heritage, the value is naturally greatly reduced.

It's best to grab it if there's a chance. If there's no chance, he doesn't mind giving up.

"Your Majesty, since the Kingdom of God is so dangerous, let others explore the way first!

If there are seven divine kingdoms crashing near the mainland, then the ones who will suffer the most losses will definitely be the nearby sea races and earth center races.

Maybe the inner earth world will be completely gone now. The most optimistic estimate is that the area of ​​the inner earth world will also be greatly reduced.

Next are some countries with long coastlines, such as the Falcon Kingdom, which is surrounded by the sea. I am afraid that not much of the wealth accumulated over the years is now left.

The more these forces suffer heavy losses, the more they need to seek help from the outside world. They are the ones who most urgently need the inheritance of the gods. "

Prime Minister Beckett said slowly.

The Kingdom of God is full of dangers, and a lot of cannon fodder will definitely be needed to explore the way.

The strong man from the Sanctuary who cherishes his life will not take risks himself. This drudgery will most likely fall on the army.

For Prime Minister Beckett, who wanted to destroy the Orc Empire, this kind of behavior that undermined the kingdom's military strength was undoubtedly what he hated the most.

Even if the kingdom gets the inheritance from the gods, most of them will be divided among the powerful ones in the holy realm first. When it is their turn, the powerful people like them will also take a sip of the soup.

It’s better to just give up if you gamble for these uncertain returns.

Before this, a group of conservative dignitaries had discussed it, and everyone had always believed that the main force of the kingdom should not be risked.

It's best if we can reach an agreement. If we can't reach an agreement, we'll just deal with it passively and slow down our work.

Judging from the information collected so far, ships in various places must have suffered heavy losses, and coastal shipyards will also inevitably suffer.

With a little procrastination, we can achieve our goal.

"I have no objection. Others can convince themselves!"

Perhaps he had an insight into everyone's plan. After speaking and looking at everyone with a half-smile, Alpha I turned around and left.

"I'll do the work for the few in the capital, and you can figure out the rest on your own."

Caesar IV said angrily.

She didn't discuss this matter with him beforehand, and it was clear that she didn't want to give him face as a king.

But when things came to a head, he, the king, still had to work.

The game between prime ministerial power and royal power is the highest-level secret of the kingdom. In the eyes of the outside world, the Alpha Kingdom is still very united.

When the situation is unclear, the conservative choice may not be the best, but it is the one that can best preserve the strength of the kingdom.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will take care of the ideological work of other powerful people in the Holy Domain!"

Prime Minister Beckett immediately promised.

…

Kingdom of dwarves.

After learning about the fall of the Kingdom of God, the Dwarf King secretly cursed himself more than once in his heart.

As soon as the concept of "one hundred thousand years of catastrophe" was deeply rooted in people's hearts, there was a brush of life and death, just a few seconds away, and the continent of Aslant was gone.

The mainland survived, but the dwarves suffered.

As a race that lives in caves, the dwarf kingdom suffered heavy losses due to the collapse of the mountains caused by the earthquake.

The loss of equipment and facilities is nothing more than reconstruction, but a large number of casualties are irreversible.

No statistics are needed to know that among the continental countries, the Dwarf Kingdom must have suffered the most losses.

"Have the losses been calculated?"

Looking at the ministers arriving, the dwarf king asked eagerly.

The big earthquake that just passed destroyed a large part of his palace, burying many palace maids and guards. The losses among the people must be huge.

"Your Majesty, due to the earthquake, our connections with many places have been interrupted.

It may take some time to compile casualty data.

However, judging from the damage to the royal capital, we lost approximately 30% of our population in this major earthquake.

The losses of all kinds of property are countless..."

Before Prime Minister Aaron could finish speaking, the dwarf king's body began to tremble.

All I could think about was the loss of 30% of the population. Such a heavy loss was comparable to the loss of participating in a continental war.

Even in most continental wars, they would not lose so many people.

What's worse is that this is just an estimate, and the final loss may be even more severe than this.

When many mountains collapsed, the group destruction dungeon was activated directly.

Facts have proved that there is a price to pay for wantonly destroying the environment and digging holes in the mountains.

You can still get revenge if you die on the battlefield. He was buried alive in his home by the earthquake. He couldn't find the target even if he wanted to settle accounts with the enemy.

"Your Majesty, at this time, you must hold on!"

The Foreign Minister Moi on the side hurriedly stepped forward to support the dwarf king and persuaded him.

An epic natural disaster is beyond human power.

First, the gods fell, and then the kingdom of gods fell. This wave directly completed the "one hundred thousand years of catastrophe".

Even if they, the leaders behind the scenes, come forward and say that they made it up, the outside world will not believe it.

Lies that are too close to the truth are also a worry.

"Don't worry, I can hold on!

Hurry up and send someone to contact the elves. They have the deepest inheritance and may know some information that we don't know. "

The dwarf king suppressed his anger and said.

The moment is coming that will test the fate of the dwarf kingdom.

One's own family is injured, but the neighbors are only scratched a little, which is bound to further stimulate the other's ambitions.

Maybe as soon as the disaster was over, three evil neighbors formed a group to kill them, adding insult to injury.

In the process of racial hegemony, this kind of scene happened more than once in history.

Many times, once a flaw is revealed, it means that a race is on the verge of destruction.

…

Crescent Harbor.

The tide is slowly receding, leaving behind a lot of mud and sand on the ground. Occasionally, you can still encounter stranded fish, shrimps and floating corpses.

Under the arrangement of the Ministry of Government Affairs, the surviving residents and the garrison participated in the dredging work.

In the absence of the lord, officials from various ministries took on the task of presiding over post-disaster reconstruction.

"The Duke is on his way back. Before that, we must first count the losses in various places and formulate a post-disaster reconstruction plan."

Jacob spoke first.

As a political affairs officer, the greatest pressure for post-disaster reconstruction lies with the Ministry of Government Affairs.

Whether it is counting losses, formulating reconstruction plans, or even implementing later plans, the Ministry of Government is primarily responsible.

All other departments only participate within the scope of their duties, and their priorities are clear at a glance.

“The disaster originated from the sea, and inland areas were relatively less affected, while coastal areas suffered the greatest losses.

Not only the Xueyue Territory, but also the situation in the Mountain Territory is probably not optimistic now.

In particular, coastal cities are the biggest victims of the disaster.

The territory's original development plan was too simple. It was indeed convenient to build cities in coastal areas for early development, but once it encountered a disaster such as a tsunami, its ability to withstand risks was too poor.

To formulate post-disaster reconstruction plans, these risks must be taken into account. The administrative center should not be placed in coastal cities for a long time! "

Rudolph's words were just the beginning, and then all kinds of opinions came out, making Jacob's scalp numb.

The Xueyue Territory under the feudal system, apart from lacking status, is itself a small independent political power.

A nascent political group usually only has two core goals: strengthening the army and developing the country, and there are various problems that must arise.

In the past, I didn’t think that only when a disaster broke out did everyone discover the various deficiencies in the territory.

A similar scene was staged in the Mountain Territory at the same time. The officials who stayed behind encountered similar troubles.

When everyone started to discuss, the familiar dragon roar interrupted the meeting.

Knowing that their lord was back, everyone's originally worried hearts suddenly relaxed.

"I don't need you to greet me, just go back and perform your duties!"

Hudson said calmly.

After the epiphany, he returned with his wife and children.

Knowing that the disaster came from the sea, he decisively chose to settle in the mountain territory's mansion first.

It is also the lord's mansion. The mountain territory's mansion occupies the highest peak in the territory. Even if there is an earthquake, it will suffer the least damage.

Xueyue Ling's mansion is different.

For the sake of convenience, it was built directly in Crescent Harbor, where the altitude of the terrain was only a few dozen meters.

The tsunami caused by the impact would definitely not let go of his mansion when it hit the port.

You don't need to think about the scene after being soaked by sea water. You know that the scene must be a mess.

"Hudson, go and deal with the aftermath. I can handle the affairs in the house."

Melissa said while forcing herself to be calm.

Having just experienced a disaster is the time when your heart is most vulnerable. If possible, she wanted Hudson by her side at all times.

It's just that traditional aristocratic education doesn't allow her to do this.

Being born in the Alpha Kingdom, not only the head of the family has to bear the pressure, but the mistress also has to have a strong heart.

"Okay, I'll leave the affairs of the house to you!"

After saying that, Hudson turned around and left without caring about the nostalgic looks in his sons' eyes.

This is what noble children must experience.

…
