Chapter 688: Give up
The Daxia Empire's actions are getting bigger and bigger, and it's clear that they are going to start a war.
As the royal representatives arrived in the New World, the countdown to war had actually begun.
After the survivors of the Four Kingdoms passed the period of weakness, their strength in all aspects increased explosively, even exceeding Derek's expectations.
This is naturally because the survivors of the Four Kingdoms have put down their arrogance, not only engaging in intermarriage with foreign races and promoting childbirth.
It also naturalizes tool silently, divides the citizen classes, and uses a large number of tools silently to act as grassroots soldiers and workers.
Although this reduces combat effectiveness and war potential, it is obviously negligible compared to having nothing.
Facts have proved that in the face of survival, people's bottom line can be infinitely lowered.
As a result, within more than ten years, the entire New World blossomed, and the survivors of the Four Kingdoms, large and small, established various political powers, advancing the politics, culture, and technology of the New World for thousands of years.
The result is a large amount of mature land and a brand new country composed of millions of Eastern and Western Mo, Bactrian and mixed races.
Duke Fernandez made the most of his achievements. Failures did not knock him down, but he got up again and again.
The impetuousness of the once aristocratic people is no longer visible at all.
However, the gray hair also proves that he has put in a lot of hard work.
It was only through hard work that the kingdom rose again.
But... it's still not enough.
Standing at the highest point of the New Holy City, looking at the lights under his feet, Duke Fernandez knew that the industrialized New Holy Cross Kingdom, even if its population and land were not as good as those of the past, was stronger than the old Holy Cross Kingdom and even centralized. Even better.
But this is not enough. Today's strength is just a dividend brought by technological progress.
The leap-forward development of the Daxia Empire has brought about an even greater gap.
Even with only a small portion of the army mobilized, the Great Xia Empire could wipe out today's false prosperity.
If he was given time, he might be able to withstand Daxia's blow.
But time is a luxury and he is about to run out of it.
The survivors of the Four Kingdoms have long known about the movements in Daxia.
As a countermeasure, the increasingly famous Duke invited all large-scale colonial nobles to gather in the New Holy City to form the United Kingdom to fight against Daxia.
Duke Fernandez started planning more than ten years ago. He provided a lot of assistance to other survivors, which gave him a good reputation, and also gained trust and a large number of fans.
Moreover, the Great Xia Empire was indeed so powerful that it was suffocating. The Emperor who had never appeared appeared suddenly and swept across the world, leaving everyone unable to react and losing their morale.
Forming the United Kingdom and restoring the momentum of the Holy United Kingdom became their life-saving straw.
Coupled with the reputation of Duke Fernandez, they naturally gathered in the New Holy City, preparing to take the initiative before the Great Xia Empire took the initiative to attack.
However, it's not enough.
Duke Fernandez looked gloomy and looked at the lights at his feet. These prosperity are just the pity of others.
In the future, there is really no telling who this prosperity will belong to.
In order to stop the opponent and win once, he absolutely cannot accept failure.
"Duke!"
The call from his men woke up Duke Fernandez. He took a look and saw that it was someone coming from the palace.
Duke Fernandez frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The king... drank too much and started talking nonsense again."
"I understand, don't worry about it, just go ahead."
Duke Fernandez finally made up his mind that there was no point in looking forward and backward.
I want to be a bitch and build a memorial arch. How can such a good thing happen?
The next day, when the sun rose, the new holy city began to bustle.
A large number of expensive cars converged on the palace, which were the heads of state from various regimes.
Because of the trust in Duke Fernandez and the importance of establishing the Holy United Kingdom this time, basically everyone who could come came.
Standing in front of the palace, many people saw familiar faces.
We are all survivors of the Four Kingdoms, unwilling to be reduced to the bottom of the Great Xia Empire, and resolutely came to the New World to start over.
There will be friction over the years, but under the pressure of the Great Xia Empire, life-or-death situations are rare.
"This is the first time in so many years that we have gathered together like this."
Some people lamented that the current situation is really rare.
"The New Holy United Kingdom will surely regain its glory, starting with the defeat of the Great Xia Empire Expeditionary Force."
Some people are full of confidence and feel that they can recreate the glory of the past.
Of course, there is still sadness that cannot be hidden in everyone's eyes.
Although the New Holy United Kingdom seems to be huge, few people are really sure whether it can withstand the attack of the Great Xia Empire.
Fortunately, Duke Fernandez is the backbone, otherwise many people would have to find another way out now.
As the people gradually arrived, everyone walked into the palace in small groups.
In recent years, the strength of the New Holy Cross Kingdom has recovered the fastest. This palace has been built many times, and it already has some of its original appearance.
Duke Fernandez was really good to his brother, who basically didn't care about anything other than sensuality.
Walking in the palace at this time, everyone seemed to have returned to the Four Kingdoms period, that era that belonged to them.
The glory of the past is always remembered.
Suddenly, someone said jokingly: "If Duke Fernandez had the intention to ambush a group of gunmen here, we would all be doomed."
Conspiracy theories always exist. This made everyone's heart jump. They were really afraid that a group of gunmen would suddenly appear and shoot everyone.
Fortunately, after observation, although the kingdom was heavily guarded, there was no ambush.
"Humph, even if Duke Fernandez wanted to be the new king, I would support it. It is better to be loyal to the Duke than to be loyal to the Emperor of Daxia."
"Yes, this is our country, we are the masters, and what are we in Daxia?"
Someone said this and then strode in front.
It seemed like a small storm, but many people were already murmured in their hearts. This was not right.
They were all smart people. How could they say such sensitive words at this time, and someone happened to express loyalty. It was too deliberate.
But since we have come here, can we turn around and go back?
We can only bite the bullet and go on to see what drama is being sung today.
When we arrived in the kingdom, everyone saw the king sitting on the throne. His Majesty, who was hungover, looked tired.
Duke Fernandez stood at the bottom of the steps as usual, but he still had his seat next to the throne.
Duke Fernandez showed enough respect to these leaders.
Everyone had a separate seat, which was relatively equal.
As everyone sat down, the king sitting on top looked at his younger brother with a complicated look.
He loved and trusted his younger brother as always, otherwise he would not have given up power all the time.
He also knew about his own depravity after arriving in the New World.
From this perspective, Duke Fernandez is the uncrowned king of the New Holy Cross Kingdom.
Now, many people in the kingdom are extremely disappointed with him and support his younger brother.
Giving up the throne to his younger brother is not impossible.
But, after all, he is a little unwilling!
So he couldn't help complaining after getting drunk.
Now, this day has finally come.
