Utopia

"So, I want to ask you again, can you ensure that the dark elves in the east will not take the opportunity to invade during the farming period?"

When Emperor Tony said this, all the bishops of the Ascetic Church looked sad.

Obviously, they didn't know the details of the dark elves' power, let alone how strong the dark elves' national strength was.

The advantage of hot weapons over cold weapons, the advantage of modern armies against feudal armies often ended with corpses everywhere and a crushing ending.

Not to mention that the army of the Negan Kingdom has promoted beam weapons. If it weren't for the cost reasons that were difficult to give up, gunpowder weapons would probably be retired from the Negan Kingdom.

"This..."

"Okay, you should strengthen the magic power lectures as much as possible at the Noble Academy. In this era, we can only seek the salvation of magic power."

There is no other way.

Faced with such a reality, Emperor Tony had to continue to use the power of the church to maintain the integrity of the entire Kahn Empire. Even though the princes below were all characters who only cared about their own business, the dark elves had turned the Principality of Akern into a ruin. No matter how much these princes tried to shirk responsibility verbally, they actually had little choice.

Tony Van Kahn didn't believe that these princes who were asking for sky-high prices didn't understand the principle of lips and teeth being cold. You have to know that the leaders of the forces that can dominate one side or develop secretly in a corner are not fools or idiots.

So when he returned to the inner hall and saw the queen dealing with the contents of various books, he was melancholy.

"Your Majesty?"

"I...I, Queen. Is our royal family useless?"

"Your Majesty, why do you say that? If there is no royal family, will the entire empire still exist?"

"But few of the princes are obedient, and the church is full of idiots..."

"If you don't even support the church, and even ignore the power of the church, then how can your Majesty keep these princes together on a thread?"

"A thread..."

Listening to the Queen's persuasion, Emperor Tony felt sad. I don't know when it started, he hated the feudal system more and more. Although this is a system created by his ancestors, with the decline of the Central Dynasty and the invasion of foreign enemies, he, the emperor, is like a vase in the room.

In addition to being beautiful, it is basically useless. Just a hammer or a push will make it crash.

The vase is left with a pile of debris.

Therefore, as a vase, he has to rely on the piety tax collected by the ascetic church to maintain his income.

Sometimes, in order to raise military expenses, he even directly auctions things in the palace.

Emperor Tony might need to learn about the life of the emperors in the Old World. For example, the emperor of the Iron Fist Empire lives a comfortable life.

Even if he does not actively interfere in politics, and just listens to the prime minister's reports at regular intervals, the emperor of the Iron Fist Empire looks relaxed.

Of course, there is a very important reason for this. That is, the Iron Fist Empire has completed two technological revolutions, and its overall national strength is enough to dominate the Old World, causing countries in the Old World to compete to learn.

However...

The Kahn Empire cannot do it.

After all, the Principality of Akern tried such an effort, but the Ascetic Church was the first to jump out and make trouble without even thinking about it.

"Your Majesty, is there still hope for the Principality of Akern?"

"I, I don't know. The Principality of Akern now has no leader who can raise his arms and be worshipped by all the people. After the death of Marquis Usoda, no noble has the ability to reunite the people and rebuild the glory of the Principality of Akern. Even if I release Sidney now, Sidney can't find a few people willing to come to help."

Thanks to the early destruction of the zombie plague and the expansion of the dark elves, the past glory of the Principality of Akern has been completely reduced to rubble. If you want to rebuild the glory, no one is the biggest difficulty.

Especially the other princes plundered talents, resulting in the empty city of Akern. And the empty city is not worth guarding, it is nothing more than a piece of wasteland.

As for guarding a piece of wasteland...there is no need to say how dangerous and difficult it is. Everyone knows how troublesome it is.

Even Emperor Tony has always had a question. How did the dark elves build a continuous wall overnight and quickly build a gate that can produce a similar light bridge effect.

Obviously, this is the masterpiece of the Engineering College and the Engineers of the Kingdom of Negan. Emperor Tony, a primitive native who cannot understand engineering at all, has no concept of it even if he has the blood of a time traveler.

Especially under the premise that his empire is falling apart, warlords are divided, princes are powerful, and illiterate people are everywhere.

To be honest, if the dark elf merchants had not sold a large number of ring-handled single-edged swords to the empire, he would not have known that iron, which was originally useless and easy to rust, could actually be turned into steel.

How powerful are weapons and tools made of steel? That is proved by the countless remains that fell on the battlefield. The Gladius dagger that the ancestors believed in the past could conquer the world...

What world to conquer?

Even if the dark elves do not use the tube that can make a sound, it seems to be called a rifle, they can kill themselves with the ring-handled steel blade.

According to the information Tony has collected so far, only less than four princes in the Kahn Empire are capable of imitating the dark elves' ring-handled single-edged sword. The other princes... Alas!

Being able to make a sword that is longer than an arm and has no bending or deformation on the blade is enough to make everyone laugh.

The ring-handled sharp blade in Emperor Tony's hand is still a product made by the dark elves, and so far no sword has surpassed it in quality.

"Your Majesty, since... I have an idea. Can we remove the armor?"

"What do you mean?"

"Since our armor can't stop the dark elves' attacks, it's better to melt the armor and use it to cast more swords and blades."

"This... If there is no armor... The soldiers below will probably be even more reluctant to face the dark elves. And the Principality of Akern, well... I don't believe that they have the ability to build all the dilapidated town facilities overnight and put them into war production as soon as possible."

As Emperor Tony spoke, he actually had no confidence in his heart. After all, there is no army here that can sneak into the dark elves' control area and come back alive to report.

Even now, the dark elves like to capture prisoners, which leads to a shortage of human resources for the princes...
