The defeat of the Haven Empire! The shame of the Haven Empire!
The end to the war in the north completely shook the entire Versailles Continent
KMC Media’s signature program, the Story of the Versailles Continent
shi+n Hye-min, Oh Joo-wan and several professionals reported live
“Oh Joo-wan ssi, will this make a difference to the future of the continent?”
“In the e due to the Here through acts of terrorisnificant Now their victory has laid the foundation for the kingdohtly
“A lot of vieill be wondering about this so please explain in detail”
“The Haven Eically to the construction of cites in the colony”
“I remember the broadcast There was an intervieith lords in the Haven Empire about the development of the northern area”
“Yes, that did happen in the past Currently there are many commercial facilities, residential areas and decorated market squares The farmlands and mines near the cities were also developed The problem is that the population is low so there is a limit to the develop the Arpen Kingdom”
“There really are a lot of northern users Is there a good connection between cities in the colony?”
“Of course The Hermes Guild had many development plans so infrastructure such as the roads and marinas are excellent”
The cities created as a bridge for the Haven Edom
Fro Weed their order of sweet and sour pork
At that moment, shi+n Hye-min and Oh Joo-wan could see two sentences on their ame broadcast as a 7283 share
The full broadcast ratings is 9361
The PD standing next to the caave a thus
“The cities will now be joining the Arpen Kingdo in the colony So what about the reactions of the NPCs? There is a chance the residents froht revolt”
“They fully welco about half the residents They will have to change their country affiliation Is it due to the high reputation of King Weed?”
“That is one of the reasons, but the residents originally lived in other kingdodoms were conquered and they had the status of slaves, so they were pleased to be freed”
“That is because slavery isn’t officially recognized in the Arpen Kingdom”
“That is the important part”
shi+n Hye-lances The hosts and producers of the broadcasts were generally aware of Weed’s nature
The Arpen Kingdodom based on exploitation!
They would eat barley bread at the crack of dawn, grass porridge for lunch and would sleep very late at night
But unlike forced laborers, no taxes could be obtained froe
If the Arpen Kingdoo down and it would be easy to e ht now, the agricultural prices are too cheap It will be difficult to reap taxes
In order to collect taxes from many people, slavery was abolished! Iteh low cost labour in the north
To plant enthusiasts who had to be satisfied with flowerpots in apart?”
“Wah! It is ger!”
“The size of the lettuce is 15 ive up here I will use everything to break the record of a 23carrot!”
Thousands of plant enthusiasts joined cafes and communities where they could talk about their crops in Royal Road
-It is like a drea able to plant in the earth instead of just the flower beds at my apartment I will put up a few photos
Cities had spacious land where wheat, barley, grapes and various agricultural products could be grown
-Yesterday I spent so to plow the fields and could see as the sky filled with stars transitioned into the rising sun I was extremely proud
There were also users who cleared land in the stony mountains
-I planted the seeds, waited patiently and it finally ger piece of land in the mountains north of Morata I need people to help me take care of it
-I also have land to the east of Morata… Are you Wild Manure-nim?
-Ohut A famous farmer in Morata has joined our cafe!
Every once in a while, there would be taunting posts
title: Take a look at this garbage plant cafe
Are you all farmers?
Kukuku This year I’ve stepped on many flowers
I also burned the flowers
There were also posts to alleviate bad feelings
-I will show photos of beautiful flowers They are flowers that can only be seen in one season a year
-If you are feeling bad then tell ain courage and hope knowing that floill keep bloo!
People in the plant codo a farrew food, fruits and herbs
There were rew crops because there was no slavery
Of course, popular iterapes, barley, olives, tomatoes and rice were exported around the continent
Daily necessities such as clothing and carriages were soaring due to the increase in consu population
“Now it is tidom on the Versailles Continent Let’s ask the professionals”
shi+n Hye-min introduced the professionals in order
There was a foruild reat contributions and a high level user
Many people knew their names in Royal Road
“First, I want to ask about the Arpen Kingdom What do you see?”
shi+n Hye-min questioned the adventurer who replied
“The ht they could win the hen objectively looking at their power But the result was far beyond doe is always to create a new dreauild also replied positively about the future
“They have a large force and tiainst the Haven edom and potential of the users will increase even further Usually the doe leaps can be taken”
The experts all had a positive outlook for the Arpen Kingdo-han ssi”
Every tiative outlook of the Weed and the Arpen Kingdoger, he was always receiving criticisth of the players on the war is partly due to the leadershi+p of King Weed The north will no longer be a continent of adventure, instead it will be the sy-han admitted it
He was afraid of the viewers’ criticisreat advances after a war
Moreover, the Northern Continent was like a black hole sucking in users
The broadcasting stations estidoh taxes and expensive prices so starting there made it hard to catch up
Furtherinners diverted new users to the north
Of course, the urban developdom was behind but the variety of fun facilities meant that the users were much happier
In addition to the new users, rowth had accelerated
The econoy and capital, extensive lands, equal opportunity andfirrowth rate is 16 per month
“16 per th will double in just 4~5 y will be as early as 1 year, and there will be no innovations in the next two years” The activities of the h investdom
Oh Joo-wan asked the econoap between the Central and Northern Continents For example, the Haven Empire could be seen as a developed country while the Arpen Kingdoap be reduced?”
“The Central Continent’s facilities have been destroyed by war Residents are still leaving and there are no signs that the rebellions are cal down And the leaders of the Hermes Guild are in a crisis itself There are disputes due to escalating greed so the political power of the lords have to be overcome”
“The Haven Ee number of cities and territory in the Central Continent, won’t it be hard for their power to decrease?”
“It is difficult to guess with only simple calculations There are several uncertain conditions in Royal Road that could make a country decline Historically, it is unprecedented for a great empire to collapse so suddenly”
“Then from now on, ill listen to words from the Haven Empire’s side”
“Another defeat”
Lafaye seemed to indifferently accept the results of the Puhol Fortress battle, but he was burning with anger inside
Combat troops had been sent on an expedition to the north
‘It is ridiculous Why did this happen?’
It was a ed
Tactics and strategy all fleay as they becaled with Weed’s tricks and the northern users
“In 1~2 years, the Arpen Kingdo the Haven E loudly about the prospects for the future, and the Herement
If they maintained the current scale, the Haven Edom’s development was incredible
It was difficult for the Haven Empire to catch up with such rapid acceleration
Despite soood policies, it became distorted once it came time to be executed by humans
The extre public sentiment meant the Hermes Guild and Haven Empire suffered
Bardray came up to Lafaye
“The econodos, e do in the future?”
Bardray was in charge of hile Lafaye was in charge of internal affairs
They believed in each other’s abilities and cooperated, however now both of them were nervous
Bardray was disappointed about the internal affairs of the Haven E the war
‘The best situation will be Bardray leading the army to the north to obliterate theain?’
Weed’s tricks meant there would always be surprises
Rather than fighting on the plains, the Arpen Kingdom could scatter if Bardray led the ar Weed would be the next best thing, but the time and cost of a military expedition to destroy the north was an issue
Small resistance armies would occur in various parts of the Central Continent, turning the empire into a mess
The Haven Empire would be unable to climb out of the hts to Bardray
“Right now it is difficult to correct the situation The Hermes Guild’s myth of invincibility has been broken and there is a chance our military and economic dominance can be reversed later on”
“How can we fix it?”
“The straightforay… Delay the ti The Haven Empire won’t be conquered in a war If we optimize the army and increase the size of the Her ti new users into the Her the territory, they had to acceptthe rebels and ensuring security were given to theer trouble later on
Lafaye shook his head
“We don’t have that dom will continue to follow after us”
“So there isn’t a straightforay?”
“There is an extreme method to solve it”
Lafaye stood at theand looked at the nificent Aren Castle
After the Central Continent was conquered, it was only a matter of time until the Hermes Guild unified the rest of the continent
It was based on their overwhelth, but this could also become a poison pill
In fact, even if Weed wasn’t there, Lafaye thought that the Versailles Continent was too large
The east, north and south were all being pioneered
Millions of users were flocking to Royal Road so the Hermes Guild found it had to deal with all of them
‘Of course, this could also be attributed to Weed’s popularity’
Lafaye carefully opened his mouth
“In the end, the solution is to reduce the taxes to an adom The opposition of the users would reduce and it would solve many problems”
“I don’t think we need to cut taxes so much If the inco?”
“We can survive”
The Haven Ee ae army and their lavish lifestyle needed to be iven for the sake of the Hermes Guild’s unity
“The company is behind us”
“Did you speak to theive the Hermes Guild economic support until we conquer the continent”
The Hered into a corporation in reality and investors got involved
In their position, they absolutely couldn’t miss a chance to invest in Royal Road
“The Grass Porridge Cult? They are weak and only have overwhel their forhly that they won’t rise up again A show of force is needed tosupreive you support if necessary”
Lafaye reement for financial support
“They have decided to take responsibility for a portion of the taxes”
“How is that possible?”
“It is a huge financial commitment”
A vast amount of money was poured in to cover the expenditure of the Haven Empire
“We must prepare for victory in the Versailles Continent Trainrid of regulations and lowering the taxes There is no e can lose”
“Will the northern users take a step back?”
“Yes If they enjoy a co then there is no reason for theer have a reason to follow Weed”
By default, the north could be seen as on Weed’s side
The Heranization like the Grass Porridge Cult was absurd
The organization skills of the Hermes Guild meant they could mobilize 50,000 people in only 30at the northern users, it was filled with people who genuinely wanted to enjoy Royal Road
