Chapter 769: The First Kingdom to Survive from Leon
Chapter 769: The First Kingdom to Survive Leon
Hmm...it seems like I'll have to wait a few more days to get my Pillar God experience card.
After dragging the Hexagonal Snow Mountain back from the center of the earth and placing it back on the border between the two countries, Leon couldn't help scratching the back of his head as he felt the Northern Kingdom becoming a vast land, and smiled guiltily at the cleaning lady and her family.
"I'm sorry, this is my first time using this ability, and I think I went a little too far..."
"Your Excellency, Director, is too kind."
After hearing what Leon said, Director Aquarius, who had witnessed everything from a higher place with Harvey, could not help but waved his hand and said:
"Thanks to you this time, otherwise, given the situation at that time, the three tribes would definitely try to repeat the plan from ten years ago and detonate all the volcanoes again. However, the bureau is short of manpower right now and can no longer spare the manpower to suppress them once again. There is nothing you can do about it."
Ah, I'm glad you understand.
After hearing the consolation from Director Aquarius, Leon breathed a sigh of relief and immediately made a promise:
"You can rest assured. I will not abandon this matter. Although those hilltops thrown down cannot be retrieved, I will try my best to make up for the rest..."
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing this, the blue-haired king's mind buzzed, and he hurriedly asked:
"What do you mean by can't be picked up? Are all those hills you threw down just now gone?"
"Uh...it's not that it's gone, it just fell to the center of the earth and I can't pick it up."
Facing the blue-haired king's question, Leon, who had just "saved" the Northern Kingdom, could only explain awkwardly:
"Most of the mountains I threw down were shattered in the collision, and the place where they fell is a bit far from your country. In a sense, they are damaged lost items...
Well... Anyway, I am moving the remaining mountains back. I am not sure how many mountains there will be, but I feel that your Northern Kingdom will have 70 or 80 fewer mountains in the future... maybe 90."
Seventy or eighty seats?
After hearing the rough estimate given by Leon, the blue-haired king's breathing suddenly stagnated and he almost passed out.
Half of the territory of the Northern Kingdom is flat ice fields without any shelter, and there are no mountains to block the west side of the sea, so it is often swept by storms that cross the entire border. Fortunately, there are more than a hundred mountains to block the wind.
Excluding a few tribes that occupied special terrain, the remaining 80% of the people in the Northern Kingdom lived in the mountains. There were more than 400 tribes of all sizes who needed to use mountains as barriers to resist storms.
Now you tell me that these rocks can’t be recovered?
We only have 118 mountains in the whole country, and you destroyed 70 or 80 of them in 20 minutes? Maybe even 90 of them were destroyed in one go? Then I... I just destroyed the whole country, didn't I?
……
"Don't worry, I've thought of some ways to deal with the beginning and the end before I took action, and I won't really let your people get into trouble."
Seeing King Harvey, whose eyes were almost popping out and who was completely dumbfounded... the former king, Leon quickly spoke up to make amends:
"The largest hexagonal snow mountain is still there. I can take the time to slowly dismantle it and replace the mountains you are missing. If a super-large storm occurs during this period, I will immediately take action to stop it.
In addition, I have already transferred the northern citizens who were affected by the lack of snow mountains to the nearest safe area. As long as we distribute the supplies later, we can directly minimize the impact..."
"But...what happens after that?"
After listening to the solution given by Leon, the blue-haired former king took two quick breaths, and finally did not suffocate himself to death. Then he said with despair in his eyes:
"Even if you can return all those mountains, they will definitely be completely different from before. Without eighty or ninety mountains, our Northern Kingdom's original production model will be completely ruined! Mining, hunting, animal husbandry... all the things that originally sustained our lives will have to be started from scratch. Resource exploration, selection of hunting grounds and pastures, and construction of transportation routes and supporting facilities will take at least 30 to 40 years to rebuild. We are lucky if our supplies can last for a year or two. How are you going to let us survive for the remaining thirty or so years?"
"Um...you can also accept international aid."
After thinking about his thoughts for a while, Leon blinked and said:
"After the Kingdom of Korok was destroyed by the tsunami that I... encountered, our kingdom received the technology and skilled manpower from there. As long as we have all the supplies, we can start making more efficient production machinery, and we will definitely be able to supply daily necessities.
In addition, the Kingdom of Alesund is our ally. You can buy the food you need from there. You should also know that Alesund is known as the Green Country, and the food there is inexhaustible, so it can also meet your needs.
Finally, I can immediately open several roads in the middle of the Six-Cornered Snow Mountain to facilitate the transportation of supplies. Even in the worst case scenario, I can transfer food and supplies here in half a year, and I guarantee that you will not run into any problems."
If that’s the case… then it seems there’s still hope?
After carefully pondering Leon's words, he found that the situation seemed to be turning around. The blue-haired former king couldn't help but cheer up again and asked with hope in his eyes:
"Free?"
"You want money."
"..."
"But you can owe it first."
Seeing that he began to breathe heavily again, looking like he might "pass out" at any time, Leon quickly added:
"Don't lose heart, you can definitely afford it. When I was smashing the mountain just now, I specially checked the situation. I only picked the relatively 'cheap' mountains.
The remaining mountains for you now basically contain some high-value products such as minerals, and I have even saved many rare animals for you. As long as they can be well developed in the future, your repayment pressure will be much less!"
"..."
Thank you very much!
He was broken down by Leon's sincere persuasion, and when he remembered Leon's other identity, the former blue-haired king couldn't help but feel sad for a moment.
When we finished lunch yesterday, my kingdom and I were still fine. However, less than 24 hours later, Kucha was kicked into a level 10 cripple by the prince of the enemy country. We were directly transformed from a powerful northern country into a supplier of raw materials and a dumping ground for products.
What’s even more infuriating is that you still have to thank them! On the one hand, you give them money for thirty or forty years, and on the other hand, you kneel down and kowtow to them, crying and thanking them for saving your life…
This is too much of a bully... woooo...
"Well... this time it may not be all bad."
Seeing the blue-haired former king with tears in his eyes, Leon, who felt that it was outrageous, racked his brains to comfort him:
"Think about it, because of the Hexagonal Snow Mountain, the warm air was blocked, making the temperature in your northern border extremely low. There was basically no grain-producing land, and because there were no mountains in the west, there were storms every year.
This time when I build the mountain for you, I can open a few more holes in the Liujiao Snow Mountain to let in warm air to help you warm up. I can also build a few vertical ridges along the west coast to block the storms blowing from the sea...
Um...wait a moment, my phone seems to be moving."
