Chapter 640 Three years
?Three years later-- Above the steep hill-- The headquarters building
*Sooof* Alexander took a long sip of the hot drink in his hands, "The time limit His Excellency has set for us is fast approaching..."
Emily rubbed her forehead for a few seconds, "Yes, he has given us several tasks to quickly strengthen the army before that day arrives... There are approximately four years and ten months left? I don't know if we can do it in time, we still have a long way to go until the army reaches the degree of armament and readiness that His Excellency expects, especially since production stopped for a long period in the factories and workshops of the Ancestral Continent after the war against the rebels began..."
Alexander nodded, "You're right... The Ancestral Continent has been burning for three years. Although there was no war between regular armies, there was not a single city that was not affected by an assassination or a military operation against both sides. The death toll has accumulated to two million so far and is still there continuing! Although the rest of the continents have their own factories and workshops, the number of residents of the Ancestral continent simply exceeds the number of citizens in the rest of the five continents combined by several folds, and so its outbreak of war reduced production by more than half! But at least the factories returned to reopen a year ago under heavy guard and all the new workers took an oath to perform as hard as they can and now production has doubled compared to before. Perhaps we can compensate for those years of war if the factories were well protected, and it would be even better when the war ends..."
"Frankly, I don't see an end to the war on the Ancestral Continent anytime soon, especially since most of the old Rune Masters and Divine Blacksmiths refused to take the oaths and a large portion of them managed to escape... Secondly, even if production is resumed now, this does not mean that production that was halted for two years did not affect the armament plan. No, the production of weapons and talismans, the provision of minerals, and even the mission of the academies to double the number of saints and sages is still a headache for everyone, as if we are trying to fill a bottomless well! ... Even Jabba after he succeeded in Completing his array, is still working day and night to form at least one battalion before the time limit expires, and he is also still teaching about improving the array to make it work faster!" Emily shook her head and looked at Elizabeth
"Jabba's success was an expected surprise, after all, he is His Excellency's only disciple... Now everyone who cannot practice the laws in the internal energy system can take the path of strengthening the body! Of course, it will take some time until more arrays are built and the process, in general, to be improved to be an independent system, but the future is bright for this direction..." Elizabeth nodded smiling
"Even with the facilitation and acceleration of the process, I still don't think it will rival the internal training system..." Alexander waved, "Have you seen that array? It really tests the limits of endurance, there are many people who died inside it during the process of destroying the muscles and severing the entrails, and the result is not that pleasing. If a person has the physical strength to withstand attacks from a saint, for example, does not mean that he can fight a saint. Come on, they cannot even fly!! I still see that the best use of this array is to apply it to the Saints and Sages from the internal energy system to make them stronger... Other than this is a waste in my opinion."
"I see your judgment is a bit harsh, Alexander. The body-strengthening system has barely begun. Who knows what surprises await us?" Emily shook her head, "Secondly, the current users of the Body Strengthening System are those who have no familiarity with the laws, that is, they would have been farmers or canned factory workers somewhere. Are you telling me that giving them such enormous physical strength and equipping them with divine armaments will not help us in wars? at the very least, they can be used as infantry, and they are happy about it."
Alexander shrugged, "If that's what you think~"
But she quickly furrowed her eyebrows, "I just hope he stays calm for a while longer..."
Emily and Alexander looked at each other, they knew what Elizabeth was talking about...
During the last two years, Jabba always seemed nervous and always shouting at his followers. He tried to communicate with Robin more than once to urge him to go to Nihari, but he refused and said that he was busy.
Then Elizabeth seemed to remember something, so she suddenly looked at the two of them and asked in surprise, "Hey... Do any of you know what will happen when the time limit arrives?!"
The answer is that the two raised their shoulders together... No one knows what will happen four years and ten months from today.
Everyone knows that something big is going to happen and everyone is sitting on their nerves waiting. They also know that it is something related to Planet Nihari, from which Jabba and the Demons came. They know that Robin has a strong feud with the Giants there because they killed his beloved wife, Mila. They also heard Jabba speak about enemies coming to invade the planet Nihari, but what exactly will happen? no one knows
Will His Excellency attack Planet Nihari to take revenge? How would he attack and why didn't he tell them any plan!? Then will he help them resist the invaders coming to attack Nihari? If this was his intention, why had he not gone to Nihari yet to assess the defenses and coordinate with the local residents? ...Does this have anything to do with the planet Nihari at all?!
"Making war decisions is not the responsibility of the army, but rather the leader of the nation. His Excellency will tell us what to do when the time is right. What is important is that we be ready to be sent to fight anywhere and at any time." Alexander took another sip of his drink
Emily nodded seriously and gently raised her glasses. She understood Alexander's words and was already working with full energy to fulfill His Excellency's requirements in a timely manner.
"Oh? Interesting, you seem eager to take orders?" A playful smile appeared on Elizabeth's face
"Eager? Who knows what we'll encounter out there." Alexander shook his head, "But His Excellency's wish must be obeyed."
"Haha, there's no need to hide it. I see the flame burning in your eyes! I wonder... During the Great Hill Agreement, who stressed that we would only obey Emperor Robin in peace and that we did not have to listen to his orders in case he called us to go to war? Now look at you, you look like you want to encourage him to start wars just to follow him!" Elizabeth laughed out loud
Even Great Alexander blushed a little, "Weren't you with me that day too? Let's leave the past in the past..."
"Hmm, that man really has his own charm~" Elizabeth leaned her back on the sofa and murmured, her eyes sparkling slightly.
"Don't even think about it." Emily looked at her from above
"Oh? Do you want to take him from me? I'm afraid the competition will be one-sided." Elizabeth giggled, her smile at this moment was deadly
"Me?! Don't get me into your fantasies, I know my worth." Emily blushed and stood up shouting, then sat down quietly and adjusted her glasses, "Plus, His Excellency is not interested in women anyway. In the last three years, he has not met anyone other than the old men and women from the research and development department, especially those who are interested in chemistry and the others responsible for the recordings of the four planets, for three years he did not even sit with his adopted kids, go to a restaurant, or even take a break for a single hour..."
"Hehe, if he was the lazy type, he wouldn't have gotten to where he is~" Elizabeth shrugged, "But I wonder what he's been up to with the R&D team for three long years..? Hmm, well I guess we'll know in time, since when can we predict what does His Excellency want anyway~ Even the research and development department members who are helping him don't know what they are helping with!" Elizabeth covered her small mouth and giggled.
At this moment, Emily heard a voice message and quickly stood up with her arms latched on her thighs. Only after a few seconds did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Alexander put down his drink and quickly stood up, followed by Elizabeth, "The only one who makes you act like this when you receive a message from him is His Excellency, what did he say?!"
"...He said he wanted me to send a few Martial Emperors to the Green Dawn Mountain to try something!"
