Magical Civilization and the War of the Gods

Three days later.

December 3295, of the Valerian calendar.

The area where the gods are fighting, the largest city in the Manraka region in the central part of Kolian, the city of Yaniko.

Light breeze, light snow.

The ruined city was gradually covered with a layer of white snow. The breeze carried snowflakes and gently caressed the ruins of the city. There were few intact buildings in the once prosperous city. There were only a few war chariots and troops on the cold road, clearing out the monsters that might breed in the city.

……

"Ugh……"

Head of State Ke Lian looked at a residential building in front of him that was mostly destroyed and sighed softly.

This 20-story residential building was the one he had visited when he returned to Ke Lian as a white dragon, following the demon princess Tifanli. They had inquired about the price, observed the location, and compared it with the urban housing in the Ersha Empire at the time.

This is everything the people of Ke Lian built, everything they were once proud of.

Today, it is nothing but ruins left by the battles of the gods, and all the prosperity has been lost.

Most of the people had already evacuated, and only a few elderly people who were unwilling to leave and a small number of soldiers who stayed behind were still in the city. This place was basically equivalent to an empty city, and there would be no possibility of reconstruction for a long time in the future, because the concentration of unstable elements in the entire area had exceeded the habitable range, and the current Ke Lian had no ability or spare energy to remove it.

"If the gods had not resurrected, what would Ke Lian be like now?"

Leader Ke Lian couldn't help but ask himself this question in his heart.

If there were no gods, the world war would have ended after he led Ke Lian to victory. Ke Lian must be very prosperous and powerful now, right?

People of all ethnic groups live and work in peace and contentment, no longer worrying about their daily needs. In addition to studying and working, they have their own pursuits or interests, and further gain spiritual enrichment in the constantly innovative entertainment culture.

Racial, ethnic conflicts and hatred are gradually diluted and forgotten under a good education and publicity system, and reasonable resource allocation no longer intensifies conflicts between different classes.

perhaps.

There really is a bright future where all races can live in harmony and move forward hand in hand.

Unfortunately……

There is no "if" in the world, it is just the inner yearning for regret.

In the end, it just turns into a soft sigh, or white mist exhaled from the mouth, or silence buried deep in the heart.

……

"Excuse me……"

……

An old voice came from behind Leader Ke Lian.

"Is it the Führer?"

She seemed to recognize the back of Leader Ke Lian, a human figure.

"it's me."

Leader Ke Lian turned around and looked at the person who came, an old fox woman holding a cane.

He also saw the elderly people behind him, most of them were humans, with a few orcs and two dwarves, but no goblins. Each of them was very old, and some even needed to be supported by each other to walk to him.

Fortunately, their clothes were not thin, so they did not look so weak in the light snow and breeze.

"I never thought that I would be able to see the President in person in my lifetime. This is one less regret." The old fox woman smiled.

But he could feel that her smile was not as relieved as he had imagined, and the old men who followed her were not overly excited either.

"sit down."

Leader Ke Lian manipulated the earth and rocks to raise stools for them, and endowed them with warm fire elements to dispel the cold.

"Thank you, Mr. President." The old fox woman smiled and nodded, then sat down first.

The other old men also sat down. Even if some of them did not stop in time, the earthen and stone benches still moved forward with them. They also sat down after noticing them and did not move forward again.

"Do you have anything to say?" asked President Ke Lian.

Hearing his proactive inquiry, the expressions of the old men changed slightly.

"Actually, there's nothing much to say. We just saw you, so we wanted to come and meet you. Although there are some things to say, when it comes to my lips, it feels like there's nothing more to say." The old fox woman leaned on her crutches and shook her head gently.

"If you don't say it, there will definitely be more regrets in your heart." said Head of Ke Lian.

The old fox woman was slightly startled, but quickly shook her head and smiled.

"As expected, the thoughts of us common people cannot be hidden from you, the leader."

If you don't talk about some questions, it will be a lifelong regret and you will never get an answer.

……

"Half of us are natives of this place, originally from the Orlans Empire. Some moved here to settle down for work or other reasons, and some were randomly assigned here after the war with their mortal enemies."

"As for me, I came here after the last world war, along with my children, to help my husband with post-war construction."

“I have lived here for more than 20 years.”

The old fox woman explained simply.

"Speaking of which, I should have known you earlier, because my husband was once a bandit under Marshal Weifell. He followed you and Marshal Weifell to overthrow the Yanitari Kingdom, but within two years of peace, he followed him again and went to the newly established Wolf Tribe Kingdom."

"I was worried for a long time at that time, and I secretly blamed you for a long time."

"I don't understand why we have to fight a war? Isn't it enough to overthrow our country?"

The old fox woman continued to speak, and Leader Ke Lian listened silently.

That was indeed a long time ago, it happened in the year 3255 of the Valerian calendar, which is already forty years ago.

Many of those bandit soldiers survived, some continued to stay in the army, and some were paid to do other things. The husband of this fox woman had obviously always been in the military system, so he was sent here to carry out post-war construction as soon as possible.

I think their children should have been quite old by then.

Being able to survive the war safely and finally settle down in this city is the greatest luck during the war.

"But later I gradually understood that you are different from those 'kings'."

"My husband often says that following you and Marshal Weifell is the best decision he has made in his life. But I always ask myself, is it better than marrying me?"

"He often looks embarrassed and can't come up with an answer for a while."

When the old fox woman said this, she also smiled with a strong sense of nostalgia.

Head of State Ke Lian continued to listen quietly without interrupting.

The other elders did not interrupt either, as if they were simply following her and had no intention of saying anything extra.

"He often told me about you and Marshal Wefel, but mostly about you, and he got more and more excited every time. He told me how you bravely led the army to kill the enemy, how you lovingly liberated slaves and poor people, and how wisely you led the country forward."

"It's a pity that he has always been a bit timid. He has always regretted that he has never taken the initiative to talk to you. Every time he just dared to watch from afar in silence."

The old fox woman sighed slightly when she said this.

At this time, Head of Ke Lian shook his head.

"He may just be a little introverted. Those who are willing to follow us to fight for the people and are committed to reform will not be cowardly," said President Ke Lian.

The old fox woman smiled and did not refute.
