It was May 20th. In late spring and early summer, more than a month after the signing of an armistice between Sylvania and the Sigma Empire, a new war is about to break out.

When I looked at the message in front of me with satisfaction, one of the administrative regions of the new empire with the original territory of Sirvania, which is still named Sirvania, was added with a "province" suffix.

That's right, the new empire. After annexing most of the territory of the Dwarf Kingdom, the vast majority of the territory of the Sigma Empire, and the states of Tyriar, Sirvania has become the first country in the old world with the largest territory, the largest population, and the strongest military strength. Under this circumstance, it is no longer appropriate to continue to maintain the title of "duke".

Therefore, under the advocacy of the Blood Brotherhood, the Citizen Congress passed the proposal to elevate the Duke of Sirvania to the Emperor. Of course, at the same time, the four families of Kastein, Abehracin, Ramiya and Nirakochi each received the title of Duke. So now, I am alone... no, it should be said that my title is Emperor Sirvania, Grand Duke of Sirvania, and Duke of Castein.

In terms of administrative division, I did not change the original administrative division of Sylvania. I just re-divided the original territory into several provinces.

Including the Red Eye Mountains and a series of territories in the southern wilderness, Sylvania's original land consolidated these territories and formed a new province including six counties. The former border princes are now divided into new counties, southern counties, and Binhai County, and Binhai County. This forms a new province called Binhai County.

These two provinces can be regarded as the original territory of the empire, or they can be said to be the fundamental land.

The states of Tyriar were formed into a province divided into two counties: South Tyriar and North Tyriar. The original traditions of commerce, finance, art and shipbuilding were preserved. In my plan, Tyriar, which was about to complete industrialization and build railroads and steam engine docks, would be the largest naval base of the empire and a bridgehead for the empire to control the central waters.

The territory obtained by the Dwarf Kingdom was also organized into two counties, namely the new province in the south of the mountain. This province will be the empire's latest mineral raw material base and an important military and industrial base of the empire.

In addition, there are nine provinces derived from the Sigma Empire: Steerland, Ivey, Weissenland, Rick, Tarabeck, Nordland, Ostermach, Hock and Miranden. These provinces usually include two to four counties.

These thirteen provinces and thirty-four counties are the new and full territory of the Sylvanian Empire - of course, this is not the final, not the end. Now, after the initial rectification of internal affairs, the second round of expansion of the empire is about to begin. At the same time, this round of expansion has greatly changed its purpose compared to previous expansions.

Although after greatly expanding the territory, facing a vast domestic market that urgently needs various materials, the various factories of the Empire cannot meet the requirements in a short period of time even if they try their best to expand their production capacity. But one day, one day, or ten years, or fifty years, or one hundred years, the domestic market of the Empire will be saturated.

Market saturation means overcapacity, overcapacity means reduction, reduction means unemployment, unemployment means social instability, social instability means wavering the foundation of rule, and wavering the foundation of rule means...

So, the empire needs a new noun and thing that has appeared in another world and never disappeared, but has just reappeared with a new face - that is, colonies.

That's right, the empire needs colonies, the empire needs other countries to open up markets, other countries need to lower tariffs, and other countries need to use the wealth generated by the primitive production activities of other countries and farming nations to exchange for the long-lasting, hundreds of years and thousands of years of prosperity of the empire. In the lonely plan, including the Kingdom of Batonia, further away, the old world is not worth mentioning, but the territory is extremely vast, Arabi, even the New World, even Chaos Wasteland and Noska. The empire wants to bring these territories into its own control and become the origin of the empire's raw materials and the dumping place of goods.

Even, if possible, the empire could even guide the barbaric greenskins and goblins to lead a more "civilized" life. It also formed a colonial relationship with them in a sense.

Of course, this thing can be taken slowly. Similarly, this thing cannot be achieved overnight. Just like what I said before, something that will be happy.

A semi-public belief called "Worship of Truth" began to spread in the province of Sylvania. The dogma of this belief carries the characteristics of industrial civilization, advocates rationality, thinking, and creation. It praises modern civilization, factories, railways, mechanized production and various other products of modern civilization.

This belief also claims to "creation, construction, reform, innovation" and other positive spirits. Of course, it also has great exclusivity and is slightly extreme. It despises the "primitive people who lived in the old era" and mocks the so-called faith, God and their creeds. It has great enthusiasm and aggressiveness. The most important one is as an idol, as God, as the carrier of this belief - that is me! The god worshipped by this belief, this god with excellent aggression, exclusivity, and even a religious god with a bit of fundamentalism, is Valed.

Feng.

Castein!

This belief spread quickly in places with higher industrialization. Silvania, the vampires who informed the longest time, almost all had no faith, and had initially tasted the benefits of industrialization, spread. Although this group of initial believers were not too pious and had too much utilitarianism, their beliefs still brought real benefits to Vared to a greater extent.

Although there are not many, it can even be said that there are very fewer than those old gods. But for me who just found out, these beliefs are enough to satisfy me.

Thinking of this, I smiled, and a faint silver-gray light appeared around me, forming a pretty halo. Until now, I was truly a quasi-god.

The time is May 30th. Everything in the empire is developing rapidly. The number of faiths has increased in an orderly manner. After a little turmoil occurred, the empire did not encounter any challenges in the following time. The people in the new occupied areas either accepted their fate or dared not speak out. It may also be just waiting for the opportunity. However, no matter what, they did not openly resist the imperial rule.

The new fleet was also very smooth. Under the slogan of defending family and peace... Of course, it is more likely for the benefits I promised - the generous salary and the temptation of fertile and unowned land. In short, a large number of former Sigma Empire naval officers and soldiers rejoined the troops named "Sigma Volunteer Army". These soldiers, who were called "Naval Volunteer Army", and the navy who were next mercenaries, spanned the entire Tyreal Province of the Old World, and a large number of pirates who were bribed by the empire, re-formed the Navy coalition that blocked the Claw Sea.

The power of Chaos was still one step slower. After the empire's naval coalition first saw its scale, Aichan then realized: "The other party destroyed the Sigma Empire - then the Sigma Empire's navy will be finished - then the sharp claw sea is no one defended?!"

Unfortunately, he was still slow to react. When the Doomsday Lord happily organized a dragon-headed battleship and launched an attack on the north coast of the Claw Sea, his army was soon killed by the empire's joint fleet. Aicharn, who tasted the bitter fruit of failure, had to continue to make the idea of ​​landing. Although the fortress group that the empire took over was easier and harder to defend than when it was originally controlled by the Sigma Empire. However, at the same time, Aicharn's Chaos Army was also strengthening.

After the real alliance with the Chaos Dwarf, some weapons and equipment that were not originally sold to the Chaos believers and were retained by the Chaos Dwarf gradually appeared in the military camp of the Chaos Army. Whether it was the steel armor, the infinite power of the iron demon, the shocking killing radius, or the earthquake mortar cannon with an even greater power than the Chaos Hell Cannon, the strength of the Chaos Army has increased exponentially. In this case, Aicharn was confident that he could completely destroy this line of defense after this fierce battle and then take over the old world.

A fierce battle is inevitable. The garrison, the empire, gathered more than 200 divisions and nearly four million troops on this line of defense. At the same time, various fortress artillery were transformed and upgraded. A large number of hand-cranked heavy machine guns were also deployed in the fortresses. Those tireless worker ants contributed to this line of defense all the time, day and night.

Add another layer of trenches around the fortress, or a layer of barbed wire is placed on it, dig some traps, build a fortress, and set up a chest wall... These will make the already sturdy fortress group that is easy to defend and difficult to attack more difficult to break.
Chapter completed!
