Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 1240 - 805: Epilogue_2
The area of the Silent Annihilation Wilderness is about the same as the Segis Continent, perhaps a bit smaller, but fortunately, it was once an element-balanced material plane with great potential.
When the players have covered the entire plane with His statues, Eve will try to pull this plane out of the Abyss.
Although the twisted flow of time is quite beneficial for leveling up for players, this time-space distortion comes at the cost of rapid aging of the plane.
Considering the possible future needs for the plane, it’s better to pull the Silent Annihilation Abyss out of the Abyss sooner and send Elemental Elves to purify the Power of the Abyss.
The war in the endless Abyss is considered over, however, the Abyss Army lingering in the Segis World has yet to be completely eradicated.
Not only that, the remaining Demons seem to be gradually stabilizing and even forming their own separate faction... they have even built a city.
"Moludo?"
In the Black Dragon Tavern of the Chosen City, Eve, transformed into a player character, sipped Elf Flower Tea while looking surprisingly at Little Xian Miao sitting opposite.
"Yes, Moludo, which seems to mean Demon City in the Demon language, is said to be built around the original capital of the Southern Border Territory, with several Abyss Nests."
Little Xian Miao stirred a cup of milk coffee with a wooden spoon as they spoke.
That’s not real coffee, but a substitute found by players in the Southern Mountains, a plant similar to a coffee tree, which had never been utilized by the natives of the Segis World.
Recently, some players introduced it to be planted in the Elf Forest, planning to develop the coffee industry and improve the varieties.
Little Xian Miao enjoyed this drink, but Eve wasn’t quite fond of it.
It’s palatable only with milk and sugar; without them, He couldn’t drink it at all.
Speaking of which, He didn’t really like coffee in His past life either.
"The Holy Mania Empire and the Eternal Church are really too weak, the Evil God has been killed by the Goddess, and we crippled the Demon Army, yet they haven’t taken out the remaining Demons, and even let them build a city, honestly, too weak."
Little Xian Miao shook their head and pouted.
"Exactly, with several hundred million people in the Human World, even if the proportion of Transcendents is low, they should be able to form an army stronger than ours, right? But such a long time has passed, and they haven’t succeeded in the crusade."
Beside Little Xian Miao, Dongdong, eating snacks, nodded repeatedly in agreement.
After the Minder Plane mission ended, these two guild leaders from different clans became friends and occasionally gathered in the Chosen City during their free time, sometimes inviting Eve, who would join incognito.
Sitting across from the two, Eve couldn’t help but laugh silently.
The efficiency of the Human Kingdoms was beyond Little Xian Miao and Dongdong’s expectations, but He vaguely understood why this was so.
The Human Kingdoms indeed weren’t lacking in power, with very strong war potential.
Especially after the magic power resurgence in the Segis World, where Transcendents erupted like a boom across the land, not inferior to the players, with high-tier power even stronger.
However, the Segis World’s societal structure mirrored the late feudal era of Blue Star, even though the presence of extraordinary power made its war potential far outweigh that of Blue Star at the same time period, their mobilizing capability was very poor.
Many Transcendents are free adventurers and don’t heed official commands at all.
And the officials... their capability to form armies was also limited.
This is because most human nations on the continent were under a feudal noble system, with very limited centralization of power, and extraordinary power was significantly diluted.
Take the Holy Mania Empire for instance, the central region of the entire empire was merely the Emperor’s immediate domain.
Just a Mania region, with a total area possibly even smaller than the Fengyue Free Territory.
The other regions were controlled by various major nobles, such as Dukes, Marquises, or some Earls with special privileges.
The Emperor can only govern them, receive their allegiance, and collect certain taxes and conscript soldiers from them.
As for lower-tier small and medium nobles, the Emperor couldn’t manage them at all.
My vassal’s vassal is not my vassal.
This rule, applicable in the Western feudal era of Blue Star, holds true in the Segis World as well.
And the Human Nobles of the Segis World... many simply don’t bother unless the war reaches their territories. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
What’s more, after the magic power resurgence, many nobles themselves have started itching for action, instigating internal wars, with territories fighting over land, often until their brains were beaten out.
This could be baffling to players from the Tianchao, being inexplicable how nobles under the same nation keep fighting each other, but this is exactly how the Human Kingdoms in the Segis World operate...
The empire’s central authority might have the power to mediate wars between major nobles, but if those under the major nobles fought, the empire’s central authority couldn’t even intervene.
These conflicts, both big and small, sometimes involving hundreds to thousands, and others reaching tens of thousands, have been steadily increasing over time throughout the entire Holy Mandy Empire and even the southern Aries Kingdom.
Moreover, the magic power resurgence also brought a series of problems such as beast tides, mutations, and suddenly awakened Transcendents, although bolstering the Human Kingdoms’ strength, they also caused certain impacts on human society.
In such circumstances, it’s understandable why a war has dragged on until now.
"Perhaps... their mobilization ability is just too poor, and the Segis World has been quite restless lately."
