Magical Civilization and the War of the Gods

June 3293th, of the Valerian calendar.

Afternoon, six o'clock.

……

The gods, led by the super-class god Dragon King, once again launched a devastating attack on Ke Lian, completely destroying a small city as they did before.

By the way, the roads, bridges, magic cables, buildings, etc. in the areas they passed through were completely destroyed. It was a real scorched earth strategy, leaving nothing for Ke Lian to continue to use. Everything returned to its most essential appearance.

All the infrastructure built over the past two decades has been destroyed.

Some ancient cities that were hundreds or even thousands of years old were also completely destroyed.

A large number of people who were evacuated in advance could only gather in the resettlement areas of the surrounding small villages and rely on the transportation teams organized by the Ke Lian to continuously transport supplies to temporarily maintain their subsequent lives.

The waves of the gods destroying the city can be clearly felt even by ordinary people who have no ability to practice.

The home that we once built together was destroyed, the home that we worked so hard to obtain was lost, and all kinds of complicated thoughts began to accumulate in my heart.

……

In the evening, seven o'clock.

Another small city destroyed.

At night, eight o'clock.

Another industrial area destroyed.

Night, nine o'clock.

Another small city destroyed.

night……

……

The continuous, suffocating attacks continue.

All reports of destruction were being sent out across the country and updated at night. Especially for cities that were becoming marginal areas, while reporting, people were advised to leave these cities and seek temporary shelter from relatives and friends in inner cities.

Or they can directly move into resettlement areas in surrounding small villages and other resettlement areas in inner cities.

The gods only destroyed all modern buildings. In order to further reduce the risk of continued fighting, they would not continue to massacre the people scattered in small villages.

In theory.

Without the blessing of modern science and technology, the common people are still the same as before, just more in number. And with a complete education, there are more common people who have cultivated to the third to sixth level.

These increases will not affect the absolute suppression of divine power.

As long as you are below the seventh level and reach the "king level" among mortals, when the gods start fighting, you won't even be able to protect yourself.

therefore

In situations where there is a threat of continued warfare, the gods will not risk deliberately causing killings.

The results of these days also prove that the gods will indeed not take action against the people in those areas.

And under this premise...

……

A large number of destroyed areas and resettlement areas of surrounding small villages.

A large number of people began to carry out reconstruction work on the spot. Under the advice of the civil engineering technical members specially dispatched by the Ke Lian, and on the premise of trying to continuously transport materials through relatively intact roads, various reconstruction work based on small villages began to continue.

The method used is the same as it was twenty years ago.

Right now.

The magic industry, which has no magic transportation network, basically relies on conventional manpower and machinery to build everything from scratch.

Holding hatred towards the gods and unwillingness to see their homes destroyed.

Rebuild everything from the ruins!

……

"Ugh--"

A long sigh sounded over the ruins of a city in the Saipo area southwest of Ke Lian at night.

If anyone noticed, they would be surprised at the person sighing.

Because he is the emperor of the Ersha Empire, Suman Ersha.

"Do you really regret it this time?"

Queen Philomena put a coat on him and used her mid-level god-level fighting power to prevent the surrounding night wind from disturbing them.

"Tell me, if I had approved of his way of governing the country, what would the Ersha Empire be like now?" Ersha asked as a reply.

"First of all, it should not be called the 'Ersha Empire'." Philomena said.

According to the original expectation of President Ke Lian.

His grandfather, Suman Ersha, was king of the "Principality".

His father, Suman Poli, succeeded him as "Kingdom".

And he himself, Suman Liander, will succeed to the throne of "Empire" and become the new emperor. At the same time, as the last emperor of the empire, he will dismantle the entire empire step by step and thus establish a new national order.

That is "Ke Lian".

"The strength of the Ke Lian is indisputable, and the fragility of the Ersha Empire is an indisputable fact."

"The wisdom of the common people gathered together, not only is he fully capable of unifying the entire world under his leadership, but also in this era of the revival of the gods, he has repeatedly refreshed the cognition of the ancient gods and forced them to change their strategies step by step."

"Even after being destroyed to this extent, the people he led were able to continue to take risks and rebuild everything after the destruction."

"empire……"

“I can’t do that.”

Erza fully acknowledged his failure.

He looked at the torches burning on the ruins and the small amount of magical lights, and could clearly sense that a large number of young and middle-aged workers from all ethnic groups were constantly clearing the debris of the city, and capable civil engineering and technical members were developing new plans for the cleared areas.

In the area next to the bonfires, a large number of women of various ethnic groups were preparing midnight snacks.

Those supplies were brought by many transport teams that came from the inland during the day in search of available roads.

This is an unimaginable picture for the empire.

……

"There's no point in regretting these things now," said Philomena.

"I know."

Ersha knew it too.

"If I were to choose again, I would still make the same choice as before."

"I would not have believed it at that time, and even the whole world would not have believed it, that more than 30 years later, there would be such a powerful country that united many races to resist the destruction brought by the gods."

"Even after displaying his terrifying divine power, he continued to rebuild everything that had been destroyed without fear."

Ersha already regretted it, but he also knew that this was the inevitable result.

Before the outbreak of the world war, no one could have expected that a completely new national political system, completely different from the monarchy and imperial system, could develop to the current terrifying level in a manner beyond the knowledge of God.

"Let's go back."

Philomena said that she didn't want Ersha to continue watching here, and the various problems the empire was facing due to the economic collapse had not yet been resolved.

"The empire cannot be reversed in a day or two."

Erza shook her head and continued.

"Sooner or later, the gods will re-attack the Saibo region, and will also re-attack the regional capital of Slipo where they previously failed. They will definitely find this place. If my guess is correct, they will most likely slaughter everything here for a second deterrent."

"right?"

Erza asked calmly.

Philomena remained silent and did not answer.
