Lilith threw a male mummy aside, took the white handkerchief from the vampire attendant beside her, and wiped away the blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

With a thud, the vampire attendant looked at the human corpses that had been sucked dry on the ground, and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

After hearing the sound, Lilith turned to look at her vampire attendant with great interest: "Want to drink human blood?"

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I just can't control my instinct..."

The vampire attendant quickly knelt on the ground, lowered his head deeply, and replied in a terrified tone.

"Don't blame me for being too ruthless, we vampires have just come to the new world, our foundation is shallow, and we need a lot of human corpses to make undead soldiers.

It is impossible to produce qualified undead soldiers from human corpses that have lost their blood.

Even if it is barely made into a shriveled living corpse, it is garbage that even a human woman can't beat.

In this world without magic, flesh and blood are very precious resources.

We vampires don't suck blood and don't die. Don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you want fresh human blood, go to Resas, and he will arrange for you to go to the front line for training.

As long as you make military achievements, you can exchange for any human blood you want, even pure virgin blood.

Recently we fought a big victory, and there are still many blood reserves on the front line. "

The vampire attendant who was kneeling on the ground said, "Your Majesty cannot be without servants. I am willing to endure hunger and thirst and serve Your Majesty forever."

Lilith's originally pitch-black pupils suddenly turned blood red, and before the vampire servant could react, two red lights shot out from the blood-colored pupils, blasting the vampire servant's head into pieces!
The headless body of the vampire attendant fell limply aside before getting up, and turned into a puddle of blood in a very short time, actively gathered at Lilith's feet, and merged into her snow-white skin, blending with Lilith One.

"The vampire family doesn't need waste that doesn't even have the courage to go to war."

Lilith's pupils returned to black again, from the previous bloody queen to a lazy and sexy royal sister.

From the outside, Lilith didn't have any vampire features, just like ordinary human young beauties.

Still, her appearance is no less than that of an elf beauty, which is a disaster for the country and the people!
Lilith pointed to the complete disappearance of flesh and blood on the ground, leaving behind a pile of empty clothes, and ordered to the Lich beside her, "Clean up this place, and transfer a vampire baron over."

"Yes, my queen."

Ordinary vampires like to suck human blood, but Lilith not only sucks human blood, even the flesh and blood of her own subordinates.

Even because of the relationship of the same origin, Lilith sucked the flesh and blood of vampires more completely. Not only the blood, but also the flesh and internal organs would not be wasted. She would instantly turn the vampire's corpse into blood into her body.

This is how Lilith, after coming to the new world, still reserves a wealth of dark magic power!

As the following vampire nobles generally know, their queen trusts the high-level undead she personally created more than her fellow vampires.

If it weren't for the suppression of the bloodline, and there was such a queen ancestor who didn't take the same clan seriously and often ate the same clan, the vampires would have rebelled long ago.

In the empty palace hall where only high-ranking undead were stationed, footsteps suddenly came. A female vampire in a blood-colored robe came under Lilith's throne and knelt on one knee to report:

"Your Majesty, we have reached a settlement with the dwarves, and the dwarves are willing to provide us with new gunpowder weapons.

And a steady stream of blood-eating slaves. "

Blood-eating slaves are what vampires call humans. Vampires don't have to drink human blood to survive. They can also drink the blood of other animals.

Even vampires with an earl and above can live well without drinking blood.

But human blood is an irresistible food temptation for vampires. Even Lilith's ancestor, who no longer needs to drink blood, can't get rid of his preference for drinking human blood.

Human blood is to vampires what drugs are to drug addicts.

You won't die if you don't smoke, but you will be very uncomfortable.

However, vampires are not very good at raising humans.

The reason is simple. Where vampires live, there are either undead gatherings or vampires who treat humans as food. Normal living people stay in this environment, knowing that sooner or later they will become vampire rations or become terrifying undead. Mental breakdown is bound to happen.

Therefore, living people caught by vampires often don't live long, and they will go crazy or even commit suicide for various reasons!

Furthermore, neither vampires nor undead know how to farm and produce the food that humans need. The cost of raising humans is very high, so it is better to directly exchange human slaves from other races.

On the Makabaka continent, the territory of vampires is the most prosperous place for the slave trade, and the slave trade is also an important link for the communication between vampires and other race civilizations.

As long as it is a human society, there will always be some groups of lawbreakers and prisoners. These people can naturally trade with vampires for good things that vampires don't need.

After arriving in the new world, Lilith chose a simpler and more direct way, finding a fellow from the Makabaka continent, and then asking them to provide her with stable and fresh blood through the exchange of political interests.

The number of vampires brought by Lilith is not many, the worst is the vampire baron, and Lilith's military strength is never determined by the number of vampires, but those fellow vampires will consume Lilith's power.

The undead who don't eat, drink or sleep are the perfect subordinate army in Lilith's eyes!

This was why Lilith would abandon all ordinary vampires without hesitation, and didn't take the lives of middle and low-level vampires seriously.

As long as Lilith herself is alive, she can create thousands of fellow vampires in a very short period of time!
There is no vampire race in the world, it is because of Lilith that such a race was born.

"The dwarves are as knowledgeable as ever.

That being the case, inform everyone to train those living corpses to learn how to use human gunpowder weapons to form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.

There is still no news about Merlin, and there are rumors that she betrayed the Arigado Empire. It is estimated that Merlin can no longer be counted on.

We must be prepared that the source of magic power will never appear in the new world, and learn how humans fight in the new world. "

"Obey, Your Majesty the First Ancestor."

The two major alien races in the Far East are undergoing military reforms in full swing, but North America has staged a civil war among alien races.

The Arigado Empire and the Beast Tribe Alliance fought dozens of large and small battles on the east coast of North America, and both sides lost hundreds of thousands of troops!

The vassal races of the Orc Tribal Alliance were wiped out for almost a generation, and the Suzaku Legion of the Arigado Empire was directly revoked because of the severe shortage...

Fortunately, both sides held the trump cards in their hands tightly, and there was no one-time stud, so the pace of war was stopped in time.

The Aligado Empire, which originally had four legions, had its strength cut in half after arriving in the new world, leaving only two legions.

The remaining magician team in the Suzaku Legion was incorporated into the White Tiger Legion, and the Azure Dragon Legion served as a deterrent force, warning the Beast Tribe Alliance not to make further progress.

The green-skinned orcs, who had nearly destroyed the powerful vassal fighting orcs, finally returned to their senses, and they had no ability to destroy the Arigado Empire.

A firm foothold in the new world is what they need to do.

As a result, the Orc Tribe Alliance and the royal family of the Aligado Empire finally reached an agreement acceptable to both parties.

The orc tribes close to the nomadic civilization gave up the devastated east coast of North America, and collectively migrated to the west coast.

The two sides took the Great Plains in central North America as a buffer zone, the west was owned by the Orc Tribal Alliance, and the east was owned by the Arigado Empire.

If you want to expand, you can go south and north to grab the territory with your ability.

Of course, the road to the north has basically been cut off, because the Canadian region has been regarded as the basic area by the elves, and the cold environment here is nothing to the elves. , not allowing the other two major ethnic groups to step into this land.

The territory divided between the Orcs and the Arigado Empire naturally has a larger territory obtained by the Orcs.

However, relatively speaking, the east coast occupied by the Arigado Empire has a higher population density, but limited by the wars encountered on the east coast and the large number of human slaves taken away by the orcs, the population advantage of the east coast disappeared.

However, the Arigado Empire still received a lot of industrial facilities of the former United States of America from the hands of the orcs, which were not seriously damaged.

The orcs are not interested in these human factories at all, and naturally they don't understand the value of factories.

All cheaper for the Arigado Empire.

In addition, the Arigado Empire also purchased many factories and machines that were originally under the control of the Canadian royal family from the elves in the northern Canadian region.

Almost at the price of cabbage!
Since then, the Arigado Empire has become the first racial force to adapt to the industrial charm of the new world.

North America presents a three-legged situation.

It takes time for the Orc Tribal Alliance to migrate to the west coast and settle down, and at the same time clean up the aborigines on the west coast.

The elves searched the jungle everywhere in Canada, wiped out the remaining humans, sowed the seeds of the world tree, and squeezed the nutrition of nature.

Only the Arigado Empire, through the recruitment of engineers from the former United States of America, began to try to restore the military production of the United States of America.

Naturally, these messages cannot be concealed from the Europa Empire, which has already spread spies into the North American continent.

With the fall of the Far East and North America, a large number of wealthy capital from these two regions began to flow into the Europa Empire.

In any era, those who are able to run away are always the wealthy class. Even if ordinary people run away, they will be sold as piggies.

Naturally, these rich people and capitalists would not run away with their own country's 'banknotes', all they carried were hard currencies such as gold and silver!

A large amount of hard currency poured into the Europa Empire, which immediately brought about a consumption boom.

At the same time, the knighthood sales bill promulgated by the Europa Empire a few years ago has repeatedly hit the headlines!

In order to make money, Emperor Li Wei naturally didn't mind selling the vain noble titles as goods.

In the Europa Empire, noble titles are divided into two categories.

The first category is the real nobles who can only be obtained through military merits and nobles who followed Li Wei and had the merits of the dragon.

This kind of nobility is also hereditary, and the nobility will not decline due to reproduction.

Of course, the feudal nobles of the Europa Empire did not establish small feudal states in the empire, and implemented the enfeoffment system like the Middle Ages.

The real seal here is mainly some fixed assets such as private land rights and manor villas.

In the context of the nationalization of land in the Europa Empire, only the sealed nobles can truly own a piece of land of their own.

However, the feudal nobles could only own land. In the laws of the European Empire, the serf system had long been abolished, and legally everyone had the right to freedom.

And can only be loyal to the emperor of the empire, not to any nobles!

Therefore, people in the fiefdoms of real nobles can only be regarded as laborers, not the subjects of the fiefdom lords.

Naturally, the feudal lord has no right to build his own army. It is enough to hire a few gunmen to look after the house and the courtyard.

In addition, the sealed nobility only owns the assets and taxes of the fief, and has no power to specify laws. All fiefs need to follow the laws and regulations of the empire.

To put it bluntly, Shifeng nobles are also citizens of the empire, and they should follow all the rules of the empire!
Therefore, this kind of feudal aristocracy is more like a big landlord, which is fundamentally different from the medieval aristocrats.

Even so, the sealed nobility is enough to make all social classes envy and hate.

After all, there is a large piece of land in hand, even if you just hire tenants to farm the land, you can live a prosperous life.

If the family business is improved and businesses are established in the fief, the income will increase geometrically.

Of course, if there is a certain scale of industry and commerce in the fief, the imperial taxation department will come to the door, and a part of the industrial and commercial taxes of the fief nobles need to be turned over.

Industry and commerce can make much more money than simple agriculture.

Even with all kinds of restrictions, sealed nobles are still a minority in the Europa Empire.

After all, the number of Li Wei's Conglong heroes is not many, and most of them are people who have been enlightened by the administration. They are all willing to ruin their brains for the empire. …

This is all requested by the loyal Conglong hero!
It is definitely not the oppression of the heroes by Emperor Li Wei!

As for the military merit canonization and real nobility, the number is even smaller, because most of the canonization standards are officers from the Imperial Guards.

They even gave their lives to Li Wei, so how could they covet the benefits of this fiefdom?

Therefore, the sealed nobles in the Europa Empire are just a gimmick.
