Chapter 601: 599: Lutetia Treaty
As the opening battle of the second phase of the Abyss Strategy, capturing the Demon Castle of the Minotaur Theodosius was not too difficult.
Long-range missiles are definitely a very new attack mode. Even the Flower Lord is still trying it out, let alone a Demon Lord.
As a muscular Minotaur, Theodosius was not very smart to begin with. After being stunned by the explosion, he simply chose to hide in the castle and refused to come out.
This gives the flower gardener enough time to arrange the flowers.
Although the opened portal is large enough, fighter jets, tanks and armored personnel carriers have to pass through one by one.
The expeditionary force initially adopted a defensive posture, with several legendary warriors on guard, fighter jets cruising, and tanks creating enough space outwards.
At the same time, it is also to guard against the impact of the Demon Sea tactics.
But what is the result?
No demon dared to come here, and even those who were fleeing avoided this place.
More than half an hour later, when the demon lord Theodosius reacted and prepared to organize a demon attack, even the logistics and supplies of the expeditionary force had been transferred.
Then the air and ground are integrated, and the army is approaching!
The tank turned into a fixed artillery position, continuously outputting damage that even the Demon Castle could not withstand.
Not to mention that there were fighter jets escorting in the sky, and bombers dropping bombs that made the entire earth tremble.
When the defensive force field of the Demon Castle could no longer hold, defeat in this battle was already inevitable.
Perhaps, the only thing worth mentioning is that Theodosius, the Minotaur of the Abyss, is really tough!
In the face of inevitable defeat, he was unwilling to escape. Instead, he overturned three tanks and destroyed two fighter jets with his own strength, looking ready to die.
Then, He successfully attracted Luo Yi to take action.
In terms of strength, he was undoubtedly no match for him, but what even Loyi had not expected was that he actually used himself as a vessel to summon the divine power of Baphomet, the Minotaur King.
When one reaches the level of a true god, his power becomes so immense that he is like a celestial body, with a huge repulsive force between them.
Therefore, it is difficult for them to descend to the main material plane. Basically, they descend in the form of containers, voters, believers, etc., with a wisp of will and part of divine power.
Its specific combat power depends not only on the amount of divine power but also on the quality of the container.
As for the advent of the abyss, whether it is a container or a demon lord, the power that can descend is naturally greater.
Then, Luo Yi faced the power clone of the Abyss King for the first time.
Luo Yi originally thought that this battle would be very difficult. After all, that was the famous King of the Abyss, a True God above the seventh level.
But when the fight really started, he found that although the opponent was very strong,
In particular, he mastered several unique divine attack methods, causing extremely terrifying damage.
A punch crushed the earth, a slap overturned the sky, and a knife opened a crack in the earth, forming a bottomless ravine.
However, to say that there is anyone who is truly unbeatable, there really isn't one!
Especially Luo Yi's space-time cage, which caused a closed space loop and time turbulence. Even if it was subjected to a huge impact of divine power, it was still unbreakable.
The fire ignited by Luo Yi, with its pure high temperature and burning power, could burn even the power of a true god clean.
Luo Yi made an assessment and found that Baphomet's clone after the descent of God was almost equivalent to the combined strength of the four demon lords.
But obviously, this is not enough.
The battle ended with Loi expelling the will of the Minotaur King Baphomet, beheading the Demon Lord Theodosius, and imprisoning his soul in his head.
What Roy didn't expect was that Theodosius did so much, even risking his life, just to prove to his master, Baphomet, the Minotaur King, that Roy was really strong.
After getting this result through interrogation, Luo Yi was really speechless.
I don’t know whether Theodosius is truly loyal or just a fool.
However, no matter what, the battle ended relatively smoothly.
The expeditionary force completed the occupation of the Demon Castle with no more than double-digit casualties and harvested a large number of rare supplies.
Then, Roy renovated the castle.
He used the body of the demon lord as a source of power to prop up a larger portal and built a cross-space railway.
As a result, large-scale material transportation becomes much simpler.
Then use the castle as a stronghold, send troops in all directions, let tanks lead the way, and fighter jets cruise, so as to capture those resource points.
At this point, only two lords remained alive from the previous anti-human demon lord alliance.
One is Alex, the lord of the abyss gnolls, and the other is Ophelia, the lord of the abyss dark elves.
However, before Luo Yi could continue to organize the legion expedition, the two of them made their own choices.
Alex, the gnoll lord of the abyss, escaped.
He gave up his territory, took his core team, plundered the rare resources, and fled directly back to his master.
That is the 422nd layer of the Abyss, the territory of Yeenoghu, the King of the Gnolls.
The dark elf Ophelia actually delivered a message to Loy, expressing her willingness to give her real name and surrender to Loy.
To be honest, the demon's surrender is not credible, which is a recognized fact in the multiverse, but offering one's true name is another matter.
After careful consideration, Luo Yi decided to agree.
After all, this is the abyss, the place where demons breed. Even if Luo Yi wants to conquer a large enough territory, it is impossible to kill all the demons.
Therefore, the strategy of 'fighting demons with demons' must be used, and this dark elf lord is a good start.
Among the six demigods of the Anti-Human Demon Lord Alliance, only this dark elf is a female.
He is tall, with skin like black pearls, a stern look, and a heroic demeanor.
But when He smiles at you, it is like flowers blooming and winter snow melting, making your heart beat fast.
This one seemed to have the intention of seducing and wanted to take the initiative, but after being threatened by the red dragon Virgil, he became very timid.
However, the benefits of having him surrender are very obvious. First of all, Loy can use him to drive some demons to work for him.
For example, mining and collecting resources in harsh environments.
Secondly, he set a precedent for the demon lord to surrender, sending a signal to the outside world that Loyi was not going to kill them all.
Of course, there are not only these six demon lords on the 138th level of the abyss. The others have already sent messengers one after another.
They expressed their willingness to pay tribute and obey orders, but they were very resistant to giving their real names.
The devil's true name is the most important source of power and must never be revealed unless absolutely necessary.
However, Roy did not pay much attention to these negotiations.
What you can't get on the battlefield is even less likely to be obtained at the negotiation table. Moreover, although it was just a battle, what you gained was three demon territories.
The harvest is already big enough, and now we need enough time to digest and harvest it.
Therefore, Luo Yi still focuses on construction and resource exploitation, and puts more energy into other aspects.
For example, the perfect conclusion of the missile test means that the war mode will be advanced to a new era.
On the one hand, Roy did not hesitate to give Marius Gray more resources, more authority, and more talents.
The successful test launch of the missile is only the first step. Subsequent plans can be continued to be promoted, such as increasing the speed of the missile, combining it with magic, achieving various incredible effects, etc.
On the other hand, the construction of launch bases is naturally crazy.
Luo Yi plans to invest in and build missile launch bases in the Abyss Fortress Base, the Holy Dragon Demiplane, and the Flower Territory, and store enough missiles.
To match it, we need more advanced factories, larger radars, and more near-orbit magic eyes...
In short, Loy wants to deploy enough weapons in all areas he can reach, and put all enemies within the attack range of missiles.
In addition, Luo Yi attaches the most importance to two projects, mecha and Lion City.
Let’s talk about the Holy Dragon Mecha first. Originally, it actually had some auxiliary role for Luo Yi, but after Luo Yi took another step forward, it was no longer of much use.
So, Luo Yi asked Shenlan to calculate and came up with two plans.
One is the Mecha Corps Popularization Plan, which is to use existing technology to produce and design third-generation power mechas.
There is no need for such high configuration. We strive to be the best with existing technology and train a group of mecha warriors.
In the future, this will be another powerful army for Luoyi to conquer the multiverse!
Another plan is to create a holy dragon mecha exclusively for Loy and the red dragon Virgil.
You have to admit that the war in this world is a comprehensive competition in three dimensions: high, medium and low.
No matter how strong the mortal army is, if it does not have enough top-tier warriors, it will eventually have to give up and admit defeat.
If it were a simple mortal war, the Habsburg Empire, relying on its magic army, would have conquered the entire Old Continent long ago.
Isn’t it because the foundation is not deep enough and there are not enough strong people?
Therefore, no matter what, Luo Yi has to improve his combat power.
Even an increase of only 20% or 30% is commendable.
Therefore, this time the ultimate version of the Holy Dragon Mecha is a unique individual that Loy has created by combining all the black technologies of the Flower Territory, the Magic Eye Alliance, and the Habsburg Empire, and using various precious materials.
As for Lion City, Luo Yi used to think of it as the most brilliant and splendid city under the new era of magic technology.
Just like in his memory, everyone who came here would be amazed and shocked, like a country bumpkin coming to the city.
This will be the best business card for Xianhualing and also a reflection of its soft power.
But after all, it is just a city that embodies wealth and prosperity.
However, Loy changed his mind, it could also be the best war platform, a flying aerospace carrier.
The twenty-seven mage towers can draw enough elemental power and control and use it perfectly.
Therefore, it is easy to build multiple defense force fields, hold up a shield strong enough to resist forbidden magic bombardment, or use various powerful legendary magics.
A complete and solid foundation can withstand greater reaction forces and will not be afraid even if thousands of cannons roar at the same time.
The floating rings buried underground need to be increased in number to provide sufficient power.
The legendary wizard Venus provides a multiple superposition technology, which actually solves the problem of insufficient underground space very well.
Roy also plans to flatten all the excessive and tall buildings to build missile launch platforms, fighter runways, tank maintenance bases, and artillery positions.
Although in terms of technical content, it is definitely not as good as the Silver Top, which is like a piece of land, but this short and compact "ship" also has the advantages of fast speed and flexibility.
Well, even Luo Yi himself had to admit that he actually had paranoia.
Even though he knew that in this war of gods, the indigenous gods of Helka were the protagonists, it was possible that he would not even have a chance to appear.
But he still worked hard to make various preparations, from the place to stay after the defeat to the legion that really needed him to take over, he spared no effort.
He always felt that if he prepared more when it was really needed, fewer people would die.
Or maybe there will be better results.
It was also Luo Yi's busy period, and news also came from the Old Continent.
After more than half a year of negotiations, the coalition forces finally agreed on punitive clauses against the Habsburg Empire, ultimately forming the Treaty of Lutetia.
In terms of territory, the treaty stipulated that Alsace and Lorraine provinces would belong to the Bonaparte Empire.
At the same time, all overseas colonies of the Habsburg Empire were divided up by victorious powers such as the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Glorious Empire in the name of "mandate rule", basically based on the principle of proximity.
As a result of this alone, the Habsburg Empire lost one-eighth of its territory and one-tenth of its population.
In the military, the army is capped at 100,000 people, compulsory military service is abolished, and the possession of tanks, heavy artillery and air force is prohibited.
The navy only retains 36 small warships and is prohibited from owning magic submarines and main ironclad ships.
A 50-kilometer demilitarized zone was established on both sides of the Kiel River, and the coalition forces stationed there for 15 years.
As for the responsibility for the war, it was all put on the Habsburg Empire. The death of the crown prince was mentioned again, and it was considered to be a self-directed performance by the Habsburg Empire.
As for the amount of compensation, 1.3 billion gold tyres could not meet their demands, so they were forced to set it at 1.32 billion, which had to be paid off in 30 years.
But everyone knew that this was an indemnity that the Habsburg Empire would not be able to pay off in 300 years.
Of course, do you think the coalition forces would be satisfied with such a harsh treaty?
wrong!
Totally wrong!
On the coalition side, the Slavic Empire was kicked out of the three giants of the coalition and was even excluded, so its interests were not protected.
One of the new three giants, the Glorious Empire, refused to ratify the treaty because it failed to lead the meeting, and even at the end of the meeting, it did not sign it.
In other words, many people are still dissatisfied with this feast of division.
After reading the terms, Roy gave a direct evaluation: This is an order built on a volcano, and it will collapse sooner or later.
His current status is no longer what it used to be, and somehow this statement got out.
It is said that it was quoted by many newspapers and even became a rebuttal to the three giants of the coalition.
The three giants of the coalition held several meetings to discuss this matter, but in the end, they could not give up the interests they had obtained.
These, of course, are things to come later.
While Luo Yi was still concentrating on construction and expansion, the King of Evil Eyes came quietly.
"Your Majesty, the area you asked me to focus on has shown unusual movement!"
Luo Yi looked up from the pile of information, and before he could react, he asked casually, "What area is it?"
"It's above the Habus Empire, where the plane barrier is."
Luo Yi shuddered, reacted, and stood up immediately: "Could it be that the God War Legion has arrived and is preparing to start a battle?"
“This, really isn’t it!”
"What is that?"
The King of Demon Eyes said uncertainly, "It was the Silvertop that moved first. I see, they seem to be preparing to break away?"
"Disengage?"
As Luo Yi moved his feet, he dragged a long phantom and pulled the King of Evil Eyes out of the room.
In the screening room of the Mage Tower, nine near-orbit magic eyes cast their vision, causing the space to vibrate. In the distorted picture, the Silvertop, which looked like a piece of land, began to struggle.
They seemed to be trying to break free from Helka's restraints and fly towards the astral world.
At this moment, Luo Yi suddenly understood why the Sun God was so eager to start the war between gods?
During the Battle of Shining Stars, the Silvertop was damaged and stuck on the plane barrier, which restricted its movement.
And for the Helka gods, there is no better opportunity than this!
A floating city in the star realm that has lost its mobility is always easier to deal with than a floating city in the star realm that can run around everywhere!
