King-Chapter 1885 - 6: The Kingdom of God’s Hidden Peril Erupts
The vast Empire naturally doesn’t lack Magic Crystal Mines, owing to Hudson, that major consumer of Crystal Stones.
Half of the Alpha Empire’s Magic Crystal Stone production has been bought back by Hudson.
Over eighty percent of the international Magic Crystal Stone trade has ended up in Hudson’s pockets.
This has caused outsiders to think the Alpha Empire is a poor Crystal country, forced to import large quantities of Magic Crystal Stones every year.
The prices haven’t been driven sky-high because Hudson forcibly ties in Magic Potions with various parties in the trade.
Raising prices is meaningless; no matter how high the Magic Crystal Stone prices go, not even one less Crystal is needed to purchase Potions.
The buy-in but no sell-out directly impacts the Empire Government’s reserves of Magic Crystal Stones.
When Magic Crystal Stones are stored, everyone just wants to exchange them for Potions that enhance power levels.
In peacetime, without the military pressure of external enemies, there’s no need to stockpile so many Magic Crystal Stones.
To exchange for more Magic Potions, the Nobles will go to all lengths to exchange more Magic Crystal Stones from the Empire.
After receiving the Moxi people’s plea for help, it’s not that the Alpha Government doesn’t want to assist, it’s truly because their reserves are scarce.
They’d rather support with more expensive Magic Crystal Cannons and Magic Crossbows than use precious Magic Crystal Stones.
After all, the Alpha Empire doesn’t lack military equipment; squeezing a bit more out is possible.
Send a little more overtime to the military factories, and it will be quickly replenished, without affecting everyone’s interests.
If they allocate a large number of Magic Crystal Stones for support, it means a significant reduction in Potion supplies afterward.
The various families’ children are waiting to use them and can’t afford delays.
The drawbacks are obvious, but the advantages are also quite prominent.
With the aid of Potions, young Strongmen in the Alpha Empire have emerged one after another.
Although Hudson intentionally controls the output, due to personal connections needing to be maintained, a considerable amount of high-end Potions have still flowed out.
As development reached this point, the number of Seventh-order and Eighth-order Strongmen in the Empire has directly surged to the top among all nations of the Human Race.
If this continues, a future eruption of Sanctuary Powerhouses is also predictable.
"Your Majesty, rest assured!
The Department of Foreign Affairs has always been following up and absolutely will not affect the frontline situation!"
Count Kalajic immediately assured.
After thirty years of peace, the Moxi Kingdom has also accumulated quite a family fortune.
The war has just begun, and strategic reserves of materials are still sufficient.
The truly dangerous moment has not arrived yet.
Reactively responding to Abyssal invasions is strategically not a great move.
But given the distant reinforcements from the Human Race nations, solely relying on the military strength of the Moxi Kingdom to decisively battle against Demons truly has no chance of victory.
"Let’s just leave it like this for now!
The twenty thousand reinforcements promised by the Alpha people won’t arrive for another two months, so in the coming days, the military has to shoulder the heavy burden.
Not hoping for a heavy defeat of the enemy, at the very least, we must hold the line and not let those Demons make a long drive through!"
George the First spoke with insufficient confidence.
The number of enemy troops on the front line is increasing, as if the Demons are endless.
It’s clearly unrealistic for a single nation to withstand the legendary Abyssal Plane.
Now, the only hope is that the Abyssal Plane across the line hasn’t unified, and they only need to face the troops under one Abyssal Monarch, rather than battle the entire plane.
...
The enthusiasm for the Demons to invade the material plane is much higher than Hudson anticipated.
While attacking the Moxi Kingdom, these guys also split their forces southward to invade the Central Continent.
The Black Forest Kingdom and Stone People Race were the first to get involved in the battlefield, while the unfortunate Columbia Country became the main battlefield once again.
Without any hesitation, the Black Forest people immediately issued a call for help to the Alpha Empire.
With the war reaching the doorstep, it’s no longer a question of whether to save or not.
To ensure the safety of the Southwestern Provinces, it’s necessary to hold the line in Columbia Country.
The crippled Black Forest Kingdom obviously doesn’t have the capacity to resist the Demon invasion, so the responsibility to defend Columbia Country can only fall on the Empire.
Without any hesitation, the Imperial Government immediately decided to send reinforcements.
In the Snow Moon Duchy.
Ignoring the Empire’s call, Hudson remains stationed in his domain.
In terms of age, he’s no longer young, and as an old man, should act accordingly.
Rushing to the front line at the drop of a hat may be very impressive, but it also blocks the path for the younger generation.
In this context, Hudson, with high moral integrity, naturally wants to leave the opportunity to excel to the young.
"Father, something big has happened!
The barrier of the Kingdom of God has disappeared. Simultaneous anomalies have occurred in the Seven Great Divine Kingdoms, with large numbers of monsters pouring out from within.
It’s still uncertain whether these monsters are natives of the Kingdom of God or invaders from the Other World!" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Franz spoke in a panic.
Having ruled the Snow Moon Duchy for decades, she has never encountered such a severe situation.
As originally agreed: the countries of the Human Race would join hands to face the Abyss invasion together.
Now the situation has changed, and once those monsters from the Kingdom of God start charging towards the Human Race, everyone will be too busy with their own problems.
"Don’t panic, hasn’t this been anticipated?
The gods want to ascend to their Divine Position again; if they don’t stir things up, how can they make world consciousness compromise?
Unfortunately, their machinations are also destined by fate.
If the world wants to grow, merely relying on natural evolution, who knows when it will advance further.
If these outside invaders become the nourishment, then the world evolution’s time cycle will be drastically shortened.
Inform your siblings to be ready, as chaos often comes with opportunity. Whether you all can break through to the Sanctuary depends on seizing this opportunity!"
