Chapter 826： Non-self race

The development of an empire is multifaceted. Although the development of Ailan Hill is rapid, it is divided into many stages.

When Ailan Hill annexed the Arante Empire and the Dothan Empire, merged with Higgs, and the Whale swallowed Velenza, the population of this empire was completely sufficient.

Most of these areas are dominated by mortals, with dense populations and a very strong labor force.

Therefore, at this stage, the Ailan Hill Empire does not lack human resources. Even because these places are labor-intensive agricultural countries with large populations, the Ailan Hill Empire even has a bit of excess manpower.

But with the expansion of the empire, the area occupied by the Ailanhill Empire is not just a mortal empire in the traditional sense: Although Ailanhill also occupied the populous Palak Empire and the Jesno Empire, It has annexed a magic empire like the Holy Demon Empire.

Immediately afterwards, the areas occupied by Ailan Hill went through large-scale wars, including the Bameshir Empire that was slaughtered by demons, the Southern Kingdom, and parts of the Eternal Empire and the Puppet Empire that suffered heavy losses in the war.

Recently, the Ailan Hill Empire began to expand in the Demon Realm, and adopted a policy of chasing away and retaliating against the demons. This policy created a large number of no-man’s areas in the Demon Realm and also required a large amount of labor to fill.

These areas have been affected by the war and suffered heavy losses. Reconstruction requires a lot of time and energy, as well as a large amount of population and capital. Therefore, Ailan Hill, which was not short of labor, finally began to become stretched.

Hearing what Chris said, Andrea, the former queen of the elves, shook her head and said: "This is the decision of the Ailanhill Empire. It is your decision. I have no opinion. As the Duke of the Empire, I support unconditionally. The emperor’s decision."

She didn't want to participate in this kind of problem. The elves had just been included. It was obviously unwise to stand in line on this kind of problem.

In other words, of course she has to stand in line, but the line she chose is to stand firmly on the side of the strong royal family.

Andrea, who is very experienced in political struggles, is more sophisticated than Chris thought. She didn't even think about it for a second, and she clearly judged her position in the Ailan Hill Empire.

She is the Elf Grand Duke, a new class of nobles attached to the royal family of Ailan Hill. Her political status depends entirely on the emperor's trust, so she must also unconditionally support all the decisions made by the emperor as a new noble.

Those seemingly powerful capital groups and other political groups cannot share the cake with the new aristocratic group. Once the emperor falls, the new aristocratic group will be the object of liquidation.

Therefore, this old queen who has been sitting in the position of the Elf Queen for thousands of years knows that once Chris is left with imperial power, whether she is Andrea, Grand Duke Sumorai of Ironforge, and Prime Minister Long Tate De Purcell-is the cake that is divided, not the person who divides the cake.

So Andrea naturally supports Chris, she supports Chris, unconditionally.

"Grand Duke Sumorai said the same." Chris nodded. He knew that this group of old athletes who had been backstroke in the political vortex for centuries or even more than a dozen centuries could not make mistakes at this time.

Time can imprison any progress, and it can also accumulate the most thorough experience.

Just like in the earth’s civilization, science and technology that have been strong in 100 years can defeat the political wisdom accumulated in 5000 years, but when everyone has science and technology, the vicissitudes accumulated in 5000 years are enough to make a civilization go further and more stable. Up.

"I used to believe in an old saying that people who are not my race must have different hearts." Chris looked at Andrea and said a sentence that made Andrea very uncomfortable.

Andrea felt that she had never heard such an old saying that punishes the heart. She even frowned, thinking briefly in her mind whether Chris had always rejected and distrusted the elves.

To be honest, this feeling depresses her. Although she hadn't reached the kind of consciousness to identify herself as an Alanhill, she didn't want Chris to doubt her pledge of allegiance to Alanhill.

She hadn't thought of betraying since she took the oath. Even in her plan, after taking it back to the Moon Temple, the elves re-emerged, she hadn't thought of driving Chris to extinction.

But now, Chris said such a sentence, which made her have to rethink the issue of the status of the elves in the Ailanhill Empire.

Chris expected that Andrea would be uncomfortable, and he continued to say: "However, the rise of Ailan Hill is not one step to the sky. We have absorbed many'non-self races' existence, this Is the truth."

He stood up and looked at Andrea with interest, his eyes passing over Andrea’s well-proportioned and beautifully-lined body, as if he was stroking a piece of art: "When I first emerged, Ailan The slogan of the Hill Empire is "Mortals are never slaves."

"However, after we received Veronza from the Holy Demon Empire, we were receiving magicians little by little. Those magicians who used to be aloof and professed to be gods eventually became law-abiding in the Airanhill Empire. Ordinary citizen!" Chris said as he touched a long silver hair in Andrea's ear with his hand.

This movement was a bit intimate, and Andrea's body became tight involuntarily. But she also let go of the hostility, because she seemed to guess what Chris wanted to say later.

"We later changed our slogan and forgot the hatred of the past. We gave up the unforgettable history of suffering and forgave those magicians who had exploited us." Chris said, letting go of the silky hair in his hand. .

Some shy Andrea raised his head, as if looking for a place to retort: ​​"Don't forget, you are also a magician now, and a very powerful magician!"

Although she is an old witch politically, she is as simple as a blank sheet of paper in terms of emotions. So in the face of Chris's teasing, she has no experience at all.

Panic is bound to panic, so she can't wait to tear down the stage, can't wait to find a place for herself.

"Yes, the current Ailan Hill is no longer hostile to the magician, because we have recovered our dignity, because we have defeated the magician and destroyed the most powerful magic empire... so we There is no psychological disadvantage anymore," Chris said confidently.
