Chapter 1555: The Smoke in the Desert
Lyon's special train soon left Sucruz.
It is impossible for Lyon to stay in a certain city forever.
So he left quickly.
There are more cities waiting for him to inspect.
But what Lyon didn't expect was.
The more remote the area, the fewer corrupt officials there are.
Because many elves in remote areas still maintain the primitive social customs of the past.
People produce and sell their own products and have no excessive pursuit of material things.
Many people think that material pursuits are important.
That's because they live in a materialistic world.
But for the elves living in the deep mountains and forests, money may just be a number to them, and the only thing they care about is the annual harvest.
But the problem is for the elves, they may encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters.
But you will definitely not starve to death.
No elf has starved to death in all these years...
The most dangerous thing is probably the monster in the forest.
But the problem is that the elves have now mastered firearms, and the monsters have started singing and dancing in front of them.
At the beginning, many people resisted firearms.
The elves consider these firearms to be evil.
But they soon discovered that it was really delicious!
Compared with bows and other weapons, thermal weapons are more than one level higher.
The elves with hot weapons are completely different from before.
They began to have no worries about food and drink.
It can also protect itself from the invasion of monsters.
So their pursuit of material things was reduced to the minimum.
But it’s different for others.
Those elves living in big cities have changed.
In other words, they gradually began to focus on material desires.
But the problem is whether it is the elves or other countries.
After reunification, prices have become very low.
Ordinary people no longer have to worry about not having enough food to eat.
But some people are just greedy, or in other words, they are just greedy.
Just want to make money.
But the problem is that it is not that easy to get.
The Intelligence Bureau has been keeping an eye on it.
But there are always people who want to dance on the edge of a knife.
Lyon soon arrived at the southern border city of Jinling Empire.
It is close to the southern mountains.
The southern mountains form the dividing line between the Elf Empire and the Dwarf Empire.
In the past, this place has always been a battleground for military strategists.
But the elves were once the overlords after all, and they firmly occupied the southern mountains.
However, most elves look down on the desert in the south.
Therefore, they never thought of taking the initiative to attack from the beginning, but instead built a large number of fortresses in the southern mountains and relied on them for defense.
In fact, they did not focus on building fortresses.
At first, they didn't think the dwarves had the strength to go north.
By the time the dwarves had the strength to fight in the north, they were already unable to react.
The Elf Empire had already declined at that time.
About 1500 years ago, the dwarves rose to power.
Then they attacked the southern mountains.
Began to encroach on the territory of the Elf Empire.
Jinling rallied and, after suffering heavy casualties, drove the dwarves back from their lands.
And a large number of fortresses were built in the southern mountains.
The Dwarf Empire was severely damaged at that time.
However, after learning that the elves had built a group of fortresses in the southern mountains, the dwarves amassed a large army in an attempt to regain control of the southern mountains.
But again, the elves are not willing to give up the southern mountains easily.
With the efforts of the elves, they successfully controlled the southern mountains.
The dwarves were stopped in the southern desert.
The dwarves could only remain dormant and wait for 500 years.
Technology has finally made progress again.
1000 years ago, he prepared to avenge his previous defeat and march north to take back everything he had lost.
As a result, 1000 years ago, Kuneberg suddenly appeared and not only defeated the elves, but also the Dwarf Empire in the south was defeated as well.
The Dwarf Empire was defeated and had no power to fight back.
They even began to doubt their lives.
They didn't understand why they lay dormant for 500 years to gather their strength, only to be beaten back when they went out.
He was stunned by Kuneberg.
They eventually chose to move back.
This time they have learned their lesson and plan to lie dormant for 1000 years before coming out again.
If 500 years is not enough, then I will lie dormant for 1000 years. 1000 years should be enough, right?
The idea was good, but the reality was cruel, because they encountered the Great Yan people...
The Küneberg of 1000 years ago was just an appetizer.
Leon is the big boss of the end era.
Originally, the dwarves planned to go north to annex the Elf Empire and even become the overlord of a new era.
But the problem was that they ran into Lyon and were then directly penetrated by Lyon.
Whether it is elves or other countries.
No one expected the National Defense Forces to be so powerful.
By the time they reacted, it was already too late.
The dwarves were driven back into the desert.
Even the elves succumbed to the iron torrent of the Wehrmacht.
The dwarves then realized that they were not the strong ones.
You can't blame yourself if you can't get out.
I can only say that I have a bad fate and bad luck.
But you dwarves only lie dormant for 900 years.
It will neither collide with the Demon Empire, the continent's steamroller, nor with the Elf Empire, which is on its last legs.
Nor will they encounter the Holy Empire of Alexander's time nor the Great Flame of Lyon.
I can only say that fate plays tricks on us.
Many times, success is just one step away. Perhaps if you persist, the result may be different.
But the problem is that you didn’t stick with it…
Whether it is dwarves or others, everyone's ideas are actually very simple.
That is to make our country prosperous and strong.
But the problem is that being powerful is not something that can be achieved just by talking about it.
Lyon has always been a man of few words and many actions.
The southern fortress group had now lost the responsibilities that history had given them.
Originally, the fortress group was supposed to defend against the dwarves in the south.
But now the dwarves are gone, and the goblins further south are gone too, and the southern continent has completely become a back garden.
Ultimately, the fortress group has lost its purpose.
Most of the fortresses are now closed and out of use.
Some of the fortress cannons inside were pulled away, and some were sealed on the spot.
Only a few important fortresses were left to continue operating.
Because you can never guarantee that new situations will not arise one day in the future.
What if the dwarves suddenly explode?
Or what if the Elf Empire rebelled?
The fortress group has now been taken over by the National Defense Forces, and the fortress group is not one-way, but two-way to be precise.
Because when the fortress group was first built, the goblins were unable to break through from the front, so they chose to cross the mountains and launch a sneak attack from the rear of the fortress, which was within the territory of the Elf Empire.
The elves learned from their mistakes and naturally built enough fortresses on both sides to defend themselves.
The absolute defense has turned the southern mountains into an iron barrel.
Lyon stood on a mountain top in the southern mountains, looking at the Dwarf Empire in the south, and didn't know what to say at first.
Compared to the forests of the Elf Empire, the Dwarf Empire in the south is all endless desert.
The southern mountains are not only a group of fortresses, but also the dividing line between forest and desert, and the dividing line between life and death...
(Good night)
