Chapter 122: Report on National Strength

Seruvega is a martial kingdom where power determines everything, including food, women, shelter, wealth, status, and power...... Because each and every one of them worships power, this is the only land that can raise berserkers who don't know what to fear. Seru Vega's guardian hero is their king, Gareth the Wise and the Wild.

To put it mildly, Seruviga is the worst "gospel" country, with a very high rate of exodus. Seruvega is located in the north-west of the continent, with two percent of the national border overlapping with the Via Rope Mountains, fifty percent of the national border bordering Bigbowo, and two and a half percent of the national border connecting with Astant; The area is small, the soil is poor, and the resources are scarce, not to mention the caravans, and even the birds don't come here to. To add insult to injury, the country does not have proper livelihood policies or welfare systems, and even 40% of the population cannot take care of them, and social security is in shambles. Everyone is battling hunger, disease, thieves, robbers, murderers and human traffickers, and it is impossible for citizens to create wealth and pass on knowledge.

Many of the Seruvega took the risk of climbing the Via Cord Mountains and entering the forests inhabited by demonic beasts. On the border, there are many traveling merchants who buy the furs, horns, eggs, teeth, and crystals of the monsters, and although the bids are low, they are enough for the Seruvega to give up their lives. Hunting monsters is not child's play, those who are not strong enough will be killed (after all, they are not adventurers who can be resurrected infinitely), and only the strong can come out of the forest alive. If you look closely at these strong people, you will find that in addition to being covered with scars, they also have a fierce energy that does not pay attention to anything.

And these strong people are just ordinary residents of Seruvega. When they leave the forest and return to the city, they are still threatened by hunger, disease, thieves, robbers, and other adverse factors, and they live in misery every day, for the sake of living.

That's how Berserkers were born.

Each of Seru Vega's soldiers has the [Madness] skill, which allows anger to control their minds and explode into amazing combat power. The downside is also obvious, as berserkers who have lost their minds will go crazy attacking anything that moves. Therefore, the sheriff of the city must be an elite who can master the high-level [madness], and anger will only fuel their power, but it will not blind their eyes. Thanks to the sheriff's efforts, Seruviga was finally not demolished by his own people.

However, an uninhabitable place, even with a dozen hero-level sheriffs, is still not suitable for living. Many of the Seruvega people fled the country with what little softness they had, hoping for a new life.

Astant's relationship with Olquila has never been quite right, but when it comes to his relationship with Seruvea...... Does Seru Vega have "relations" with other countries to speak of? If Astante is compared to a court musician and Olquila to a craftsman, then Seruvega is a reckless man who only drinks heavily. No one wants to deal with the reckless, so there are no embassies of other countries in Seruvega, and Seruvega people are not welcomed in other countries at all. According to the grapevine, in Osgilia, the northeastern gateway of the former Orquilla Kingdom, its lord burned the Seruvega people who lived in the sewers to keep the law and order.

However, this reckless man who no one was optimistic about actually survived the "Doomsday Confrontation". It is a miracle that a country with almost zero experience in shipbuilding has built hundreds of thousands of kayaks and wooden sampans overnight (all of which can only be played in the Sapphire River) and escaped with these ridiculous means of transport, and less than one percent of them have drowned. Their lives are as tenacious as rats, and that's not true.

In addition, one of the great gods of the "gospel", the dragon flame overlord and fiery ambition, is the honorary magistrate and honorary general of the capital of Seruviga, and one of the few knights in the country. There are two peerless powerhouses on the bright side of this projectile land, so much so that Bigbower has never committed any offense against him.

————————————————————————————————————

Qingyi never imagined that there would be a country that would deal with the Dusk Empire at this time.

"Most of the combat professionals in Seruvega are berserkers, and their style of doing things can be imagined." Brian speculated.

The initial shock had passed, and Qingyi quickly cleared his mind and made a judgment: "Impossible! This trick is stupid and crazy. Their king, Gareth, is the only one of the twelve guardian heroes who bears the name of wisdom! They must have some intentions. ”

"Anyway, we can't show weakness." Skoll said viciously.

After pondering for a while, Qingyi said: "Both of you come to the council hall, each of you brings a report on the area you are responsible for, I want to have a comprehensive understanding of the Dusk Empire." ”

As a field marshal, Scowl was obliged to remain in the "City of Waiting" in peacetime. As soon as he received the message from Qingyi, he shook his arms and kicked his steps (he had been like this since he had enough limbs) to come to the City Lord's Mansion. When he meets Brian in the hallway, he immediately walks very seriously. The two of them entered the council hall together.

Qingyi was already waiting here, and he said, "Sit." Skoll, you speak first. ”

"A million mold rangers, and less than a hundred thousand regular troops." "I've done as much as I can, but there's not enough time. Fighting against 100,000 berserkers and a great god can only be a dead end. ”

Qingyi fully understands. There are indeed a lot of mold rangers, but as long as they are sprinkled with "exorcism disinfectant", they are killed. And looking for the help of the gods? No kidding! It was precisely because of the intervention of the great god that the break appeared, drove Jiang Huahuo back to his hometown, and then drove the disease-free moaning and gossip sect leader everywhere, and also demolished the World Tree. In this case, you must not invite the great god to come over again, otherwise you will not take the entire "waiting city" seriously.

"In addition, the armaments cannot keep up. The equipment of the soldiers is too rudimentary, the penetration rate of metal armor is less than 20% of the whole army, and the whole army I am talking about here is still less than 100,000 regular troops. ”

Qingyi nodded: "I understand." It depends on the military industry. Brian? ”

"The handicraft workshop has completely restored the 'broken silver', as long as there are enough raw materials, it can immediately replace the armament."

"Broken silver" is the proudest craft of the former Orquilla Kingdom. Using a special forging technique and alloy formula, it can create a fine texture on metal products like a broken silver lake wave, hence the name. On top of that, metal made of "broken silver" is more durable than metal of the same weight, and even if it is made into light armor suitable for skeletons, it can still have the same protective effect as plate armor, and can coordinate defense and mobility. The world thought that this craft had long since disappeared with the demise of Olquila, but a large part of the craftsmen of the Twilight Empire had mastered the "Mithril" during their lifetimes, and there was no pressure to restore it.

Qingyi nodded and said: "Stepping up the acquisition of ore, we will also develop armaments." Okay, Brian, tell me about your report, you're the point. ”

Brian handed over a report. Qingyi nodded while watching. This report on national strength briefly summarizes the current state of the Twilight Empire, which is something that anyone in power should read carefully, and the three major industries are fundamental.

Primary industry (primary industry) is a type of industry division in the traditional industrial economic theory, which refers to the use of natural forces to produce products or industrial raw materials that can be consumed without deep processing, generally including agriculture, forestry, fishery, animal husbandry and gathering.

"I was speechless at the beginning...... Forestry is not good, animal husbandry is not good, agriculture is not good, and fishing is okay. ”

Under the clouds of death, any tree grows crookedly and has strange wood grains, and it may be fine to use as a Halloween decoration, but it is too hard to make furniture. Development of animal husbandry? What value can a necromantic beast have? Cut the hair of the dead spirit beast? Milking a dead spirit animal? Eating the flesh of a dead spirit animal? As for agriculture, there is no need to count on it, as soon as the seeds of any crop are buried in the soil, they will immediately shrink. However, Snow City is close to Xinghuiyang, and the staple food of local residents is basically seafood, so the fishing industry is prosperous.

"Floriculture ...... Not well, there are a lot of demonic plants, but no one will buy them. The pharmaceutical industry has a future. ”

Most of the demonized plants are ferocious plant-like magical beasts, and the ornamental value is not great, and it is estimated that few girls hope to get a bouquet full of demonized plants on Valentine's Day. Fortunately, the magic plant has medicinal value, and recently because of the funeral mold rampant, there are more people who become pharmacists, and the market for medicinal materials is bullish, so the Dusk Empire can also consider the wholesale and pharmaceutical of medicinal materials.

The secondary industry is the sector in which primary products are reprocessed, including industry (extractive industries, manufacturing, production and supply of electricity, gas and water) and construction.

"The manufacturing industry is good, but it's basically state-run."

The handicraft workshop and alchemy laboratory are among the top economic growth points of the Twilight Empire, and all the income is nationalized, and it is the only one, which can be regarded as an oligarchic economy. The same is true of the construction industry, which is centered on drawing rooms. This economic model is not good or bad at present, but it will have to wait a thousand years for necromantic creatures to consciously invest in competition, so the only way to continue to monopolize manufacturing is to continue to monopolize manufacturing.

"Extractive industries have limited potential to support the economy. The jewelry industry in general. ”

The Bone Ocean, formerly known as the Happy Plains of the Kingdom of Saramonro, is famous for its crops, but its veins are quite scarce. Now that the sea of white bones has been invaded by seawater, the resources are all on the bottom of the sea, and the only mineral that can be directly mined is black marble, and this thing is not a commonly used building material on the mainland, so the mining industry is even less promising. "Soul Gems" has become a member of high jewelry, but there are no talents who are good at jewelry making in China, so they can only intercept the most insignificant part of the profit chain - jewelry wholesale and wool processing.

"Water, firewood, fuel, ......"

That's not to mention. Necro creatures don't drink water and aren't afraid of cold. Only if the braincase is kicked by a donkey, will someone invest in this piece.

The tertiary industry (tertiaryindustry) is the sector that provides various services for production and consumption in the process of reproduction, including all industries except the primary and secondary industries.

"Business is good and thriving. Tourism is also available. ”

Some players have made some popularity statistics for the global Necronomicon to see which one has more attractive scenery. At present, Night Cherry City is the most poignant, ranking first, and Ash Castle and Imperial Valley also have their own characteristics, competing for the top three with a strong historical atmosphere and cultural heritage; Although Fengdu is a little barren, it has not fallen to the last place with a high number of votes (everyone knows that China is the most populous country). The ranking of the Ocean of Bones is very controversial, and although it falls to the last place, many people feel that the World Tree should add a lot of points. In fact, even if the scenery isn't as stunning, there are still hundreds of people who break their heads to climb the World Tree, so tourism is very promising. When someone comes to travel, it will naturally drive business.

"The service industry can only be outsourced. Alas, here is an absolute shortcoming. ”

The reason why Qingyi commented so was because the necromantic creatures had weak feelings, and they couldn't consider the feelings of the guests, so they naturally didn't understand service. At present, the service industry in Snow City is all handled by blood elves, witches, and werewolves. But what's interesting is that in the special service industry, necromantic creatures are very popular, and many people name necromantic prostitutes to accompany them, and there is a kind of atmosphere.

"The financial sector is starting to heat up."

After the Dusk Empire became a sovereign state, merchants from all over the world came to Snow City to open banks and insurance companies, and various financing channels were established, and hot money poured in. Because the Twilight Empire has not yet legislated specifically for this, speculators have emerged, and they have made a lot of money. The most famous of them all is Schroeder Bray, who walks sideways in Syracuse.

"Does the nautical industry need to grow, damn, quickly collect the port fee and customs duties for me!"

As the only open city in the Twilight Empire, Snow City has a very high status, like a special economic zone. The free trade environment made the city quite popular, and naturally it also led to various tertiary industries, including the maritime industry. Cargo ships dock at port, and werewolves need to do their hard work; Ship maintenance, which in turn requires a dedicated shipyard; The recruitment of sailors paved the way for the rise of maritime intermediaries. Fortunately, Snow City was also a commercial metropolis before, and the port layout was very good, even if there were many ships of goods.

"Blank ...... in education"

The intelligence of necromantic creatures is determined by rank, and in general, low-level necromantic creatures have no intelligence at all and cannot be taught; High-level necromantic creatures, on the other hand, have inherited their memories and knowledge well, and do not need to receive primary education at all. It can be seen that necromantic creatures are too extreme, and in either case, it is not conducive to the development of education.

"There is no entertainment industry, not the literary industry, because necromantic creatures need neither entertainment nor literature. Compared to Astant, we are dirt buns. ”

Qingyi looked at each item very seriously. He knew that if he wanted to harness this growing behemoth, he had to master all its information. What exactly do the Seruvega people want to do? Is it aiming for some Achilles' heel of the Twilight Empire?

Bigbower, Royal Palace. Although it was late at night, His Majesty had not yet gone to bed, and he looked at the same letter repeatedly.

"Neighbor:"

"Why are you stunned? I've told you my intentions, don't you understand? I'm so disappointed with you! ”

"Thou faithful, Gareth"

I don't understand! His Majesty really tore up the letter this time, and then summoned the minister: "Tell me about the national strength of the Dusk Empire!" Let others see, we're not stupid! - Bah, I'm confused, we're not stupid! ”

A war without gunpowder has begun.
