Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 722 Commendation (Subscribe for the third update)
Since the end of the war, the south of Middle-earth has generally entered a period of peace.

After annexing the three major principalities including the Principality of Frandi, the territory and area of ​​the Blue Dragon Kingdom have increased by more than three times out of thin air. The huge newly occupied area requires a lot of energy to absorb and digest.

Due to the large size and population of the newly occupied area,
According to the official high-level calculations, it will take at least one year to absorb these newly occupied areas into the system of the Blue Dragon Kingdom, even if the power of the entire Blue Dragon Kingdom is exhausted.

This so-called initial absorption and digestion refers to the fact that the huge rural areas are all in the hands of the Blue Dragon Kingdom one by one, and the people of the territory are sympathetic to the Blue Dragon Kingdom, and they can obtain enough manpower and soldiers from it.

And completely wiped out some remnants of the old nobles who were hidden in the deep mountains and old forests and caused wars.

A year's time,

Not too long.

After all, purely in terms of manpower and territory, the Blue Dragon Kingdom's attack on the Three Kingdoms this time can be regarded as the completion of the feat of a snake swallowing an elephant.

It is impossible to digest human and territorial resources that are several times larger than oneself without a little time.

As for the thorough reform and development of the newly occupied areas, the introduction of industrialization, economic development and other major plans, it will take more time to develop these areas into the hinterland of the Blue Dragon Kingdom.

It is precisely because of this,
During this period of time, the experience of the Blue Dragon Kingdom was basically focused on internal affairs.

The top executives of the Blue Dragon Kingdom, who have implemented Austin's will, are conscientiously making various decisions, handling various government affairs, adjusting the private economy and other urgent matters.

As for the Dragon Nest army,

A glorious war ended, and for the first time, the magic mechanical steel behemoth was used as the main mobile combat force. The blitzkrieg that was carried out shocked the world at the first appearance, and made an extremely powerful contribution.

With the end of the war, the post-war rewards also began.

Needless to say, various material resource rewards, the most important one is the awarding ceremony that was broadcast to the entire kingdom in the main city of the Blue Dragon Kingdom.

The Minister of Internal Affairs and military generals of the Blue Dragon Kingdom at that time were all present, and in the highest dragon nest of the Blue Dragon Kingdom, they commended the soldiers who had made military exploits.

This commendation conference was broadcast through newspapers, radio, television, etc., which caused a huge repercussion in the entire Blue Dragon Kingdom.

Whether it is an orc who has lived in the Blue Dragon Kingdom for a long time,

Or those refugees who escaped and settled in the Kava Forest, or the newly occupied areas who undoubtedly got the news, most of the people felt a kind of excitement.

This form of collective recognition and national promotion,

Among the many countries in the world, this is simply the first time in history.

Even in a country that emphasizes military exploits, in fact, the commendation of heroes is only carried out by the king himself under the witness of the nobles.

As for the Blue Dragon Kingdom,

Using public opinion to build momentum and inform the whole country is simply unprecedented.

And after this commendation meeting, similar to the military parade in the main city of the Blue Dragon Kingdom, those ferocious steel behemoths drove past the streets, and rows of neat soldiers walked in unison, as if they were indestructible The phalanx of the city wall is so powerful that it is accompanied by the blue dragon flag flying high in the sky, declaring the myth that this army is invincible.

This post-war commendation conference and military parade set off a huge frenzy in the entire Blue Dragon Kingdom.

It is said that those who made great achievements were also received by the great His Royal Highness Austin who occasionally woke up during the deep sleep in the depths of the dragon's lair.

After so many years of publicity,
In the hearts of the subjects of the entire Blue Dragon Kingdom, Austin is like the gods and fathers, full of devout belief and worship.

The treatment received by those who have made great achievements,
The focused eyes and honor made many aspiring young people feel excited, wishing to put on the military uniform that day, go to the battlefield, and then replace it with their own bodies.

This commendation meeting not only promoted the bravery of the army of the Blue Dragon Kingdom, but also made the army of the Dragon Nest show its face among the people of the whole country for a while.

All over the country, the public opinion praised it.

Some new professional writers who depend on newspapers for their livelihood even write a flowery article praising the efforts and achievements of soldiers in the army.

After this commendation meeting,
It is said that the folks are very enthusiastic about wanting to be a soldier. Many people who used to be adventurers or mercenaries went to the conscription site one after another, hoping to enter the army and make a career out of it.

This is something the military didn't notice.

time,

Just as the Blue Dragon Kingdom was dealing with various internal affairs, the neighboring countries passed away slowly amid fear.

Although the Blue Dragon Kingdom had no intention of sending troops during this period of time, and instead focused on internal affairs, the anxiety and fear of the ruling class of the surrounding countries not only did not decrease in the slightest, but as the Blue Dragon Kingdom's army pacified the new When the rebels in the occupied area turned their heads and began to absorb and digest the territory and area of ​​the original Frandi Principality and other three principalities, they became more anxious.

because,

Once the Blue Dragon Kingdom absorbs and digests those areas, it means that the next round of military operations is likely to be launched.

At that time, with their military strength, who can resist it?
Although during this period of time, under the strong pressure of the Blue Dragon Kingdom, the remaining five southern principalities had no choice but to abandon their past grievances and interest disputes, and established an offensive and defensive alliance of the five principalities.

Subsequently,

Regardless of the domestic public grievances, the major principalities wantonly collected money and military resources to expand the army, recruited troops wantonly, and deployed heavy defense lines on the border defense lines.

however,
Even if the newly built border defense line is almost indestructible to other feudal and old aristocratic countries, they still have no confidence in the face of the Dragon Nest army that destroyed the three principalities in half a month.

Facing the tactic known as blitzkrieg and overwhelming powerful alchemy weapons, there is more than one legendary expert in the mainland.

such an army,
How to let them contend?
I am afraid that after the other party straightened out their own situation and absorbed and digested the territory and population of the original three countries of Frandi, they turned their guns. The so-called offensive and defensive alliance of the five countries is just a joke!
The more information you collect, the more you know, the more desperate you become.

This is the gap between absolute strength,
It doesn't mean that if you work hard, you can fight against it with some small means.
