Chapter 285 Odin Map! (Subscribe!)
Although Bruno trusted Mike very much, he still specifically asked Mike to go to Idar City to test the thoughts of the people of Idar and understand the current situation of Idar County.
A year may not seem like too long, but the Idar Territory has really changed a lot during this time. If Mike cannot get in touch with the people, metaphysics will be difficult to avoid.
And when it comes to religion, it never hurts to be cautious.
The news Mike brought was varied and complex.
But overall, these pieced-together pieces of information still gave Bruno a general understanding of the Church of Light, and also made clear a very important point - the conflict between the Church of Light and the Territory of Idal will be the main external conflict faced by the Territory of Idal for a long time to come.
What? You ask what internal conflicts are?
The internal contradiction faced by Idar Territory is the contradiction between the people's growing material and cultural needs and the backward social production, and the contradiction between the people's demand for building an advanced industrial territory and the reality of the backward agricultural territory.

According to the information Mike had found out, the Church of Light was undoubtedly a religious organization with a very long history, and it had a certain understanding of the history that was artificially erased. This also made Bruno more curious about the secrets behind the Church of Light.
Another reason that prompted Bruno to make up his mind to carry out religious reform was... The God of Light was dead! (See Chapter 244 for details) The wonder construction system had long told Bruno that there were indeed gods in this world, and the trace amount of divine power that still remained on the Fran Islands was the best proof of this. (See Chapter 142 for details) Bruno might still be afraid of a living god, but since you are dead, Bruno naturally doesn't need to worry about these things! Just do it!
"My Lord Earl——"
Not long after Michael left, Bruno's valet Mondale rushed in breathlessly: "Count... Count, urgent news from the front!"
“Give it to me!”
Bruno's eyes suddenly widened and he quickly took the letter from Mondale's hand.
Good news always comes one after another. Although he was prepared, Bruno's eyes were still fixed on it the moment he opened the letter...
real……
We won! The content of the letter was written by Sam Layton and Mal Karen, and attached to the letter was the seal and broken waist badge of Odin Marshal Portia Mariano.
According to Sam Layton's description in the letter, the battle-hardened Marshal Odin was eventually hit by a shell from the Idar Navy on the banks of the Eider River during his retreat. Not only did he die on the spot, but his body was never found!
Damn! This was the second time that the Idar army had killed the enemy's chief commander in a battle, following the great pirate Kelvin Prato! Bruno was particularly excited when he thought of the Odin soldiers who could only flee in panic in the face of the Idar people's continuous artillery fire.
Fear of insufficient firepower! As a noble lord who suffers from a severe fear of insufficient firepower, Bruno is more concerned about the Idar people's possession of equipment than tactics and strategies.
In his opinion, as long as his army possesses unmatched firepower, any plot against the Idar Territory will be eliminated in the bud!
That is why Bruno almost emptied out half of the Idar Territory's ammunition stockpile for this battle. He would gather as many magic crystal bombs and magic cannonballs as needed!
Even if the stockpile was insufficient, he would work overtime overnight to rush the production. In short, Bruno's principle was to let the Idar soldiers fight to their heart's content and let the Odin people experience what it was like to live in a world of artillery fire!
Marshal Portia was killed on the spot, and Edson O'Sullivan, who was running around with the military flag, and Mansa McGill, a famous "traitor" who claimed to be Odin's running dog, were captured on the spot by Idar's army.
As for the more than 13,000 soldiers of Odin, probably only less than 1,000 of them were able to swim across the Eider River and escape from the battlefield.
Those Odin soldiers who failed to cross the river were either killed on the spot or captured by Idar's army. In short, the results of the battle were remarkable! "Well done!"
Seeing such a satisfactory answer given by the Idar soldiers, Bruno immediately clapped his hands in approval.
More than a thousand soldiers ran away, and through the soldiers' stories, I believe that as long as Odin's monarch is not a fool, he will understand how hot a piece of potato Idal Territory is. It will not be long before both sides can sit down and have a good talk about the division of territory! "Idal Daily should publish a special issue as soon as possible to convey the news of Idal Territory's victory!" Bruno said excitedly.
Sam Layton's letter made Bruno feel relieved. The original tension and anxiety disappeared, and only joy remained in his heart.
"I think the news and documents provided by the war correspondents should be almost ready for the Merlin News Agency. I will send someone to print it out tomorrow!" Mondale said excitedly. "Call Shabi, White Barrell and the others over tonight. I will open a barrel of whiskey and celebrate!" Bruno added.
"I understand!"
Mundell ran away happily, while Bruno could hardly hide his inner excitement and walked to the terrace on the side of the study with a step that did not recognize anyone.
Now that the war on the front line has been won, I must plan carefully how to blackmail the Odin people, otherwise...
How could he be worthy of the Idar soldiers who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood in the front? How could he be worthy of the delay in the construction of the wonders during this period? My Hagia Sophia!
It was definitely impossible to extort money and food from them, because the Odin people themselves were extremely poor. Even the food for the war was accumulated through years of hard work.
As for the other stuff…
Bruno seemed to have thought of something all of a sudden and immediately activated the wonder construction system.
When he discovered the first natural wonder, the Fran Islands, it provided Bruno with a valuable new feature for his wonder construction system - a map! However, Bruno was busy with many matters in Idar at the time, so he shelved this buggy feature.
The map function full of positive energy certainly can't play map cannon, but it can provide Bruno with maps of the unknown world outside the exploration range and the distribution of various resources! The key point is the distribution of resources! Indistinctly, a plan to blackmail slowly formed in Bruno's mind...
Since I can't get money and food from the Odin Empire to support the construction of Hagia Sophia, then it shouldn't be too much to use some of my own resources to support the development of magic industrialization? !
No more.
