Due to the hostility of gods such as Ganrosta and Sarkozy to the undead, under the propaganda of their churches, the people under their influence naturally could not have a good impression of the Urban Empire.

And the most important point is that most living people definitely have a very negative impression of the undead, or fear, or disgust, or hostility, anyway, it can't be an emotion like love.

Therefore, from the first emperor Bazel, Urban had almost no contact with the outside world, and it was not until the second emperor Valicia succeeded to the throne that trade with the outside world began, but only trade.

It was only after the current emperor succeeded to the throne that attempts to establish diplomatic relations with foreign countries began. This kind of trade expansionist thinking originated from the living high-level people in China, who believed that they could rely on the development of trade to finally obtain the diplomatic status of their motherland on an equal footing with other countries.

However, the undead magnates in China are cautiously skeptical of this and are not very enthusiastic. They believe that it may be difficult for foreigners to accept a country like Urban that "lives and dies together...... It wasn't until the Lady of Nice's banquet personally came forward to knock on the peace that this kind of diplomatic relationship establishment action began.

As it turned out, Empress Ness's judgment was correct. After more than ten years of hard work, the Urban Empire successfully established diplomatic relations with several coastal countries. The Kingdom of Rohan in the western part of the main continent and the Kingdom of Elander, the "Land of a Thousand Islands", were the first to establish diplomatic relations with it, and several smaller countries also established diplomatic relations with Urban.

However, the worries of those undead high-level are not unreasonable. The countries that have established diplomatic relations with Urban, except for the "Land of a Thousand Islands" Elander Kingdom, which can be regarded as a big country, the other countries are all small countries.

These countries have no say in the international community, and if there is something going on in Urban, they will not be able to help. Moreover, the purpose of establishing diplomatic relations between these countries and Urban is only to facilitate trade. In other words, these countries see Urban only as a business partner. As for further development, or even alliances, there is no way out.

In this case, Urban will not be satisfied, what they want most is not ordinary trading partners, but allies, especially powerful allies. However, "strong allies are not so easy to find, which depends not only on the skill of communication, but also on character."

This situation was not resolved until Urban hooked up with the Han Empire.

..............................................................................

Speaking of which, the interaction between the Han Empire and Urban was completely accidental. Because the Han Empire is composed of the Han people of the earth, it does not know much about this world, and this world is much larger than the earth, and the continents are farther apart.

The most important thing is that "the environment of the sea is more treacherous, and all kinds of powerful monsters in the sea are more common than on land." It's okay to go to the near sea and coastal areas, if you want to go to the open ocean, grab a random thing and come out, it's a pervert who can easily destroy a fleet. To sail in the ocean in this world, the requirements for character are so high that the people of the earth cannot imagine.

Under such special conditions, it has also caused the seafaring industry of this world, which is much slower than that of the earth. For example, before the earth was brewed, there was a special pioneering period of the "Age of Discovery". But here, a similar "Age of Discovery" was just beginning, many years ago, and it was developing much slower than the Earth.

Therefore, in this world, there is a very peculiar phenomenon. Many countries in the main material plane, including the Han Empire, have a deep understanding of the world of the outer plane, but they are very unfamiliar with the ocean of the main material plane and other continents in the same plane.

It's like the Asian countries of the Earth know a lot about the planets, but they don't know where the Americas are. This kind of thing is unimaginably ridiculous in the eyes of earthlings, but it is normal in the other world.

Therefore, although the Han Empire knew that there was an Urban Empire, it was completely unclear where this country was, and what was there. And the same is true of the Urban Empire, they don't know much about the Han Empire.

However, when the two countries began to get in touch, the relationship developed very rapidly, and within a few years, the alliance was formalized. Of course, the reasons for this are complex and involve many aspects.

But in any case, the Urban Empire finally has a powerful ally. More importantly, because of the face of the Han Empire, they also established diplomatic relations with the Elven Empire and became allies. It's a good thing to buy one get one free.

Originally, if this trend continued, the power of the Urban Empire on the main continent would be able to develop rapidly in the future.

However, this time Urban's character seems to have run out, and he has a big heel all of a sudden.

........................................................................

Now in Urban, there are already some signs of chaos.

This is largely due to the fall of God. If you want to talk about the impact, compared to the fact that God was finished, the impact of Empress Niss's capture is not very serious. Because the country's institutions are already very perfect, even if there is no boss, it can still function normally.

In fact, Her Majesty, who has been on the throne for nearly 100 years, has rarely appeared in front of the people before, and it is said that because she has been immersed in the study of magic, and she hardly participates in all social gatherings except for handling government affairs in the court. However, even so, the country was relatively well governed, and in the past 100 years, the Urban Empire gained a more solid trading position and diplomatic relations, and the people's living standards have been further improved.

In the eyes of many foreigners, especially the believers of the hostile gods, Urban is a dark and terrifying evil empire, where the cruel necromancers, driving the undead, enslave the people, take pleasure in their wails and struggles, and will not let them go even if they die, will transform them into terrifying undead.

However, the truth of the matter is far from here.

In this country, the undead coexist in normal society along with other living beings. Vampires take part in various festivities, mummies work vigils: zombie and skeleton warriors fight in conditions that are too harsh for the average soldier.

The caster has a very prominent position in this country, and almost all the high-level officials are the identity of the caster.

But they did not touch much on administrative work, and of course the central ministers and provincial governors, as well as the emperor, were the exceptions of the exceptions. Occasionally, some mages will invest their talents and enthusiasm in financial statements and livelihood documents, but this will undoubtedly greatly slow down their progress in the level of magic.

The territory of the Urban Empire, according to the dimensions of the earth, was about 10,000 square kilometers.

However, although the area is relatively large, less than half of the places are actually suitable for living. The country is divided into the capital region and three provinces, the capital region is under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, and the three provinces are governed by free governors.

The capital area occupies less than a tenth of the total land area of the country, but most of the cultivable land in the underworld is concentrated in this area, and the density of mage towers here is also the highest in the world, and it is the core of the empire, of course, under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor.

However, in this country, there are only more than 9.4 million living people, and the number of intelligent undead creatures is about the same as this data. The number of low-level undead is difficult to count, at least hundreds of millions.

In general, due to its vast and sparsely populated area, the Urban Empire did not have a complicated administrative structure.

The emperor was subordinate to three central ministers and three provincial governors (local heads), a total of six people formed a simple council. Everyone except the Emperor is a powerful mage and can cast it. Level spells go to the minimum requirements to enter the council. Normally, foreign affairs and major domestic affairs are decided by the central ministers, specific local affairs are the responsibility of the governors of other provinces, and major national policies are discussed by everyone. The central ministers and the governors of other provinces exchange positions every few years.

There is no clear division of labor among the three central ministers, usually one is responsible for overall finance and internal affairs, one is responsible for foreign affairs and religion, and one is responsible for arcane and heterogeneous planes, but this is often confused.

The three governors of the provinces were responsible for the transportation system, public health, military defense, irrigation and drinking water, and policing of a province. Each of the three governors had a number of administrators, each responsible for the details of a particular aspect or place.

Vestas Palace.

This palace is the center of the Urban Empire, and now the six ministers of the Empire are meeting here to discuss what to do next.

"Minister of Finance and Interior" Zacharia, "Minister of Foreign Affairs and Religion" Chifers, "Arcane and Alien Minister" Rab, "Governor of Tamir Province" Madeus, "Governor of Pine Forest" Balentaine, "Governor of Slevo Province" Hypnos, these six are the second highest executives in the empire after Ness, and all of them are legendary powerhouses.

But at this moment, the six bigwigs were really sad.

Urban has never lacked enemies, and there are always various messengers of self-proclaimed "justice and truth" who are trying to fight against Urban. They have everything from entering the country to hunt the undead, to attacking caravans, trading posts, and even assassinating high-ranking officials.

But these things, for Urban, are at most some troubles. It's not a big deal at all.

However, now they are not calm.

"Governor of Sregay," said Hypnos, to the Minister of Finance and the Interior: "Master Zachariya, the news of His Majesty's capture is still being blocked, but it is estimated that it will not be blocked for long, and this matter must be resolved, otherwise things will be worse......"

“...... Well, I don't know, but right now, there's really no way to ......" Zachariya sighed and said, "...... If it really doesn't work, we'll use His Majesty's stand-in. Rab, you're in charge of this, what do you think?"

Rab shook his head: "No, the stand-in doesn't have those treasures and artifacts of His Majesty. At most, I don't know how to deceive, if I am an expert, I will be a goof......"
