Chapter 361 Eighteen Years

The year 1453 is destined to be a period that will be remembered by countless people.

The fall of Kan'ozu, the retreat of the Green Tide, the fall of the Combined Forces, and the rise of the War Council.

For the people of Donnar, the pain and disaster brought by the Green Tide finally came to an end, and the people of the committee were jubilant, cheering for the era when the War Council ruled Donnar.

After experiencing several years of peace and prosperity, the people believed that under the rule of the War Council, they would also usher in a new era of prosperity and passion.

The civilians of Donnar, who had just been annexed and were still under martial law, also held on to a glimmer of hope. Having experienced the chaos and madness brought about by the Green Tide and the Allied Forces, they all longed for peace and security.

Having never come into contact with the War Council, they carefully observed everything about it, being cautious and praying for the glimmer of light of a new era.

Outside of Donnar, countries that had been paying close attention to the situation in Donnar also breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps the rise of the War Council is not a good thing for them, but no matter what, the War Council is still a normal regime that can communicate, unlike the Green Tide which cannot communicate at all.

Moreover, after experiencing the baptism of the Green Tide, even if the War Council annexed the United Army, it was still just a new regime and basically posed no threat to them.

They have no conflict of interest with the War Committee. Although the War Committee has great potential, it is not known how long in the future.

As long as Roland is not a fool, the War Council will not conflict with them. It is more likely that they will concentrate on recovering the lost territory of Donnar.

Therefore, although the Silver Empire was somewhat dissatisfied with the War Council's forceful annexation of the United Army, its refusal to inherit the United Army's orthodox status, and its denial of all unequal treaties signed by the United Army, the Silver Empire still endured it.

After all, the War Council not only has the fighting power to fight against legends, but also an extremely large and powerful army.

It would be a completely thankless task to really fight the War Council.

Although according to their ideas, the best case scenario for Donnar is that the War Council and the United Army are divided into north and south and are independent of each other.

However, this idea was too naive. Eleanor was no match for Roland and was killed by him in less than a day.

Compared to the Green Tide occupying the entire Donnar, the War Council's occupation of Donnar was not the best outcome, but it was not bad either, so they just accepted it.

After the Silver Empire also recognized the status of the War Council, no diplomat mentioned the existence of the United Army in diplomatic occasions.

In 1454, the War Council officially annexed the United Army and became the sole regime in Donnar.

The Sinnar Kingdoms and the Northern Kingdom also refocused their attention on their own internal affairs.

Under Roland's interference, this world is rapidly heading in a direction that is different from Roland's memory.

The Green Tide, which should have been rampant and raging, was interrupted by the War Council. Roland personally broke the backbone of the Green Tide, that is, Kan'ozu.

The green tide that had lasted for a hundred years and had profoundly influenced the entire world was ruthlessly interrupted. They couldn't even completely conquer Donnar, let alone indiscriminately attack all areas near Donnar as Roland remembered.

Under the pressure of losing the Green Tide, the situation in the area near Donnar will also change dramatically, and Roland's memory of the plot has changed greatly.

The Silver Empire, which had been actively preparing for the Green Tide, quietly stopped its preparations, the newly recruited soldiers were disbanded, and the nervous border nobles also lifted their alert reluctantly.

At the same time, after losing the external threat, the political struggle within the Silver Empire seems to have become more intense.

Originally, the six major silver families focused on internal political struggles, so that the diplomats sent over were like fools, insisting that the War Committee pay the principal and interest of various unequal treaties.

Even though it was against the will of heaven, they still sent diplomats over. However, on New Year's Day, as soon as the War Council reopened the border, the envoys of the Silver Empire left Donnar in a hurry.

Although Roland changed Donnar, he believed that the current Silver Emperor would most likely not be able to defeat the Silver Family and would most likely abdicate under the joint pressure of the six major Silver Families. After that, the short vacancy period that was created under the pressure of the Green Tide might last longer this time.

As for the Kingdom of Inter, this kingdom has been completely overthrown by the Grape Lords Alliance. All the royal family members have died. The Grape Lords Alliance is now in the midst of internal debate. As for the next political system, each party in the Grape Lords Alliance has its own ideas. Some are iron-blooded royalists who plan to introduce a royal family from a foreign country, while others are planning to elect a new king internally.

There were also some republicans who intended to promote an aristocratic republic. According to Roland's memory, the final outcome was that the republicans, who were not liked by everyone but were accepted by everyone, won and established an aristocratic republican lord alliance.

Now, the Republicans in the Grape Lords Alliance seem to have become interested in the committee system of the War Council and have requested to send diplomats to inquire about and learn about the committee system.

When Roland knew this, he was a little overwhelmed. However, considering that the world line had changed so much, Roland agreed to their request.

As for the North, there is no problem. The orc king of the Northern Kingdom is still hanging on to his life and a civil war is still brewing.

In the capital city of Apocalypse, Roland looked at the intelligence from the neighbors near the committee and nodded slightly.

Under the current circumstances, the neighbors near the War Council basically have their own problems. Unless they are crazy, it is impossible for them to take action against the War Council.

Apart from these neighbors, although Donnar is still connected to other regions, these other regions either do not have any powerful regimes or do not pose any threats.

To the north of Donnar is the Dragonspine Mountains. Since the collapse of the Clan Kingdom, there has never been a powerful regime. At the same time, the committee has also absorbed a large number of dwarves and goblins. For the War Committee, the Dragonspine Mountains are more of a treasure waiting to be explored.

To the southwest of Donnar is the Kos region which was still in the barbaric era. The Kingdom of Kos, which would occupy the entire Kos region in the future, was still just a small principality with no fame at all and no one had ever heard of it.

To the south of Donnar is a vast forest occupied by wood elves. Before the outbreak of the withering disaster, the wood elves basically did not move. As long as they did not actively invade, the wood elves would not care what happened in Donnar.

As for the Second Phoenix Empire further south, it is too far away to interfere in the situation in Donnar.

Therefore, the War Council will have a very favorable external environment in the coming years, and can even take advantage of the civil unrest in other countries to seek benefits.

Roland shook his head and put aside the idea of ​​seeking benefits. He would have to wait until they started the internal strife to seek benefits. The focus now was on internal construction and development.

However, Roland didn't seem to need to worry about this. Roland looked at the three-year preliminary development plan that was planned and submitted by the Administration Department and approved by the Executive Committee. He didn't see any problems after looking at it.

After repeatedly confirming that there were no problems, Roland approved this development plan on January 10th of the new year.

Later, Roland was surprised to find that he seemed to be completely idle and there was nothing left for him to do.

The newly annexed territories are being systematically integrated into the War Council under the work of the Administrative Department, and the military department, which has completed the reform, is also mobilizing troops in an orderly manner.

The administrative and military systems forged during the Death March were functioning normally, and the extraordinary people who had been baptized by war were finally able to devote their energy to development and construction. The enthusiasm of the joyous masses was also maximized, and they worked together to repair the broken Donnar and build a new home of their own.

After the conquest was stopped, everything in the war council was in such good order that Roland basically had nothing to do except regulating the general direction.

After spending two hours handling government affairs, Roland had some free time.

Looking at the bright sunlight shining through the window onto the desk, Roland slowly drank a sip of the Liquid of Wisdom.

Roland has been busy for nearly nine years, from entering Donnar in 1444 to the present 1453. Now that he is suddenly free, he is a little uncomfortable.

Even when he was resting for promotion, Roland did not dare to relax. After all, Kan Ozu was still the one who was putting pressure on him. He was shouldering the expectations of the War Committee, so Roland was under a lot of pressure.

But now, Kan'ozu is dead, the coalition army has been annexed, and other regimes can no longer threaten the War Council. Roland himself has been promoted to a seventh-ring spellcaster, and there is no longer any threat to Roland.

Therefore, he is now truly stress-free and completely relaxed.

Roland drank the liquid of wisdom slowly, thinking about what to do next.

Well. Let's go meet Hela.

Roland glanced at the study room where he was alone, and thought thoughtfully.

After completing the Southern Expedition and annexing the United Army, Hela withdrew from the army and hid in her own residence to meditate and study. During this period, Hela rarely appeared in Roland's sight, and no one knew what she was doing.

Thinking of this, Roland walked out of the study with the empty bottle of Wisdom Liquid. After putting the empty bottle in the trash cabinet outside the corridor, Roland slowly walked towards Hela's residence.

After all, Roland was no longer under any pressure, so he was not in a hurry to teleport directly through the space spell, but planned to walk over slowly.

But soon, Roland changed his mind.

As the chairman of the War Committee, although Roland did not feel anything, his prestige in the committee could be said to be very high. From ordinary people to officials at all levels, there were many people who admired Roland. And the rest of the people, even if they did not worship Roland, still had deep respect for him.

It would be fine if they had never seen Roland. Even if Roland was in front of them, they would not be able to tell the situation. However, this is the central government of Apocalypse. Everyone who works here is an elite who has fought their way up from the bottom.

Moreover, Roland also works here. Even if you don’t know him at the beginning, after working for a week or two, you will basically know what Roland looks like.

Therefore, when Roland was walking slowly, the officials and guards working in the central government all saluted him with great respect. Roland was free, so he wanted to find out about the officials' situation, so he started chatting with them about family matters.

Then, Roland discovered that the probability of officials and guards appearing on the road he was walking on increased significantly, more than ten times. Basically, as soon as Roland finished chatting and took two steps, a new official or guard appeared in front of Roland.

The people who came before him had already talked, so he couldn't treat the people who came after him any differently. Therefore, Roland could only chat while trying to hurry on his way.

After spending two or three hours, Roland finally managed to walk out of the study area.

After reaching the main road, Roland also patiently smiled and said goodbye to the two slightly excited central government officials. Then, Roland took a step forward, a clear spatial fluctuation emerged, and Roland disappeared.

Compared to the corridor, the avenue seemed wider, so after seeing off the central officials, others were unable to connect seamlessly.

On the avenue, the officials and guards who were pretending to be passing by looked at Roland who had disappeared, and could only consider themselves unlucky and left dejectedly.

In the central residential area of ​​Apocalypse, Roland's figure appeared in front of Hela's residence.

Roland raised his head slightly and looked at the residence in front of him. Compared with Roland's yard, Hela's residence was relatively ordinary. It was a standard residence provided by Apocalypse for officials. It was just an ordinary small yard.

However, the small courtyard in front of him had been transformed to a certain extent by Hela. Some magic arrays were set up in the courtyard, and a large number of dark elements were attracted and gathered in the depths of the courtyard.

Speaking of which, when Hela was still young, she was very afraid of sleeping alone in her room. She could only sleep peacefully if Roland and Hela were in the same room.

When did Hela grow up and become independent?

It seemed to be when he was living in seclusion in the Kes Mountains, Roland was thinking silently.

Roland and Hela met in the year 1436 of the Silver Calendar, and have known each other for eighteen years now.

Huh? It's been that long.

Because Roland and Hela had both completed their first soul ascension and left the ranks of ordinary people, their appearances had hardly changed.

Without aging, Roland wouldn't even know that he and Hela have been working together for so many years.

Roland shook his head, walked to the gate of the yard, knocked gently on the door, and spoke.

“Hela, are you home?”

　咕
　　so tired.
