Even though two years have passed, the residents of Hope City still remember the grand occasion of Toran I's Coronation Day, free food, free wine, jugglers from all over the world, endless carnivals that lasted ten days, and even the films of the newly developed activity produced by the Kingdom Academy of Sciences showed all the nationals on the Grand Plaza of Hope before the carnival ended.

The influence of this incident at that time has not diminished until today. Although the vast majority of civilians in the Kingdom of Podo were crowned Toran I and were very proud of the establishment of the Kingdom of Podo, they always felt that the king's crowning had nothing to do with them, and those were just games of the upper class.

However, when the live video of the coronation ceremony was played out and everyone saw the lady in the lake appear and put the crown on their king's head, all the civilians of the Kingdom of Podo in the Plaza of Hope had the feeling that they were on the scene at that time, and they felt that their relationship with the Royal Family was no longer so far away. An invisible bond connected them with the royal family, so that when the royal guards recruited members, a large number of civilians of the Kingdom actively signed up. In less than a day, five thousand places were already full.

In addition, among these people who were trapped in the carnival, some careful people discovered some abnormalities that distinguished the city of Hope from other places.

Although during the coronation ceremony of Toran I and the subsequent carnival that lasted for ten days, the population gathered in Hope City may have reached more than one million people, and may even double it, what is strange is that there was no mutant monster tide around Hope City, and even mutant monsters did not appear, as if the mutant monster tide disappeared at that moment, and everyone lived an extremely relaxed life, especially those who had life experience before the fog year, who had the illusion that seemed to have returned to the past.

Afterwards, even though Hope City returned to normal, some mutant monsters could still be seen outside the city, but groups of mutant monsters were very rare. In the whole two years, there was only one mutant monster tide around Hope City, and that mutant monster tide had just been formed and was wiped out by the First Legion stationed around Hope City.

Now I hope that the safety and stability of the city are almost no different from those in the city before the fog disaster. Even because it is an emerging city, the public security situation is even better.

And some people also found that as the Kingdom of Podo has laid some legions on its borders in the past two years, built some churches of the White Deer Church and the Lady's Church in the Lake, and also set up some metal pillars that look like shaman totems, the mutant monsters in the entire Kingdom of Podo seem to be rapidly decreasing.

In big cities like Odorene whose population density exceeds Hope City, there will usually be a tide of mutant monsters every two to three months, and there will be a larger mutant monster siege battle in more than half a year. However, since the Kingdom of Bodo has made so many arrangements on the border, the frequency of mutant monster siege has been delayed to once every six months, and the large-scale tide of mutant monsters has been extended to about ten months before it will happen.

Moreover, because of the existence of the wizard tower in the city, the battle process became very easy. Except for a few unlucky guys who accidentally fell off the city wall and were flooded by mutant monsters, the guards on the city wall basically did not have any serious casualties, and most of them were just minor injuries.

Those who discovered this could not help but guess that the Kingdom of Bodo might have mastered the method of controlling the generation of mutant monsters. Even if the Kingdom of Bodo was denied, this speculation still did not end, but became more and more intense. Many people even suggested that countries unite to put pressure on the Kingdom of Bodo to force the Kingdom of Bodo to share the method.

However, this proposal was not passed among governments, because if it were two years ago, it might have worked. But now the Kingdom of Podo has grown to an equal position with the Kingdom of the United States and the Kingdom of Calica, and its overall military strength is even higher than that of the Kingdom of Calica. The entire Mosan continent will not take the risk of offending such a powerful country.

Not only do they dare not take the risk of offending, they will also take the initiative to join this powerful emerging country and become part of this country. For example, the Kingdom of Panir recently considered whether to join the Kingdom of Podo, which is also the hottest topic in the Kingdom of Podo recently.

For some knowledgeable people, it was possible to judge that it would be a matter of time before the Kingdom of Panir joins the Kingdom of Podo, because as the Kingdom of Podo completed its control over the Sacket Plain and Odorene, the Kingdom of Panir was completely cut off from the countries west of the Mosan continent and was completely sandwiched between the Northern Tribal Alliance and the Kingdom of Podo.

All their necessities of life now need to rely on the Northern Tribal Alliance and the Kingdom of Podo, but as the Northern Tribal Alliance began to implement a policy of closing the country, it was difficult for the Kingdom of Panier to receive more aid from the Northern Tribal Alliance.

If they do not choose to join the Kingdom of Podo, then they must join the Northern Tribal Alliance. For the Paniers who have long been accustomed to urban life, returning to tribal status is simply unimaginable.

Therefore, as the envoys of the Kingdom of Panil came to the City of Hope a few days ago to conduct some negotiations with the Podo government, it was considered a foregone conclusion that Panil's merger into the Kingdom of Podo.

The only thing to discuss is how to incorporate the Kingdom of Podo. Judging from some gossip, the Kingdom of Panir hopes to merge the Kingdom of Podo in a common way of subordinate states, and the Kingdom of Podo is obviously not interested in this method of incorporation. The method of incorporation required by the royal family and the government is to be completely incorporated, and the Royal Family of Panir was demoted to Duke and retained a certain territory.

The incorporation of the Kingdom of Panir into the Kingdom of Podo not only involved the attention of the people of the Kingdom of Podo, but even other countries in the Mosan continent focused their attention here and sent their own eyes and spies to sneak into the City of Hope, hoping to get the latest news and formulate solutions.

Among the countries that sent spies, the Kingdom of Calica is naturally the most nervous, so it sent the largest number of spies and ears. In just less than half a month, the Ministry of Security of the Kingdom of Podo had captured more than 30 spies from the Kingdom of Calica and completely destroyed a secret spy base. However, everyone knows that the spies from the Kingdom of Calica have not been completely found, and more are hidden among ordinary people.

The Kingdom of America may not look down on the Kingdom of Panir, which has declined to the extreme, but it still attaches great importance to the land of the Kingdom of Panir. Although nearly 90% of the land of the Kingdom of Panir are mountainous areas and primeval forests, there are a large amount of minerals under these lands.

Due to technical limitations, it was very difficult to enter the deep mountains to mine. It was not just mining, but also transporting the excavated ore. After the fog disaster, the reason for the difficulties was added to another mutant monster. Therefore, all the fiscal revenue of the Kingdom of Panier over the years could only rely on less than 10% of the land. Moreover, less than 10% of the land was not completely owned by the government of the Kingdom of Panier. Seventy percent of them were in the hands of local tribes. Therefore, not only the people of the Kingdom of Panier were poor, but even the royal family was not much better. Some people had digested the difference between the Royal Panier and the civilians.

For all countries on the Mosan continent except the Kingdom of Podo, annexation of the Kingdom of Panir is equivalent to swallowing a huge burden, even chronic poison. However, for the Kingdom of Podo, annexation of the Kingdom of Panirir is like swallowing a supplement with extremely high nutritional value. This supplement is enough to increase its overall strength from its land area, resource reserves, and national combat power, and surpass the Kingdom of Galica.

The reason why the Podo Kingdom had different effects from other countries in the Mosan continent was not only because the Podo Kingdom mastered effective methods for targeting mutant monsters and the powerful military combat power of the Podo Kingdom itself, but more importantly, the Academy of Sciences in the Podo Kingdom developed a giant machine called Titan a year ago.

According to people who have seen such giant machinery, it is like a small castle that can be moved, and its function is not just to move. In addition to its most basic war ability, it also has functions such as opening roads, digging ore, dredging rivers, etc., and three such Titans and the Kingdom of Podo have been built so far.

If the Kingdom of Panir was incorporated into the Kingdom of Podo, then the Kingdom of Podo can open up a road in the mountains of the Kingdom of Panir with this giant machinery, and then lay the railway tracks, then select the mining location, and dug out the initial mine pit. After such a wave of operations, it only takes one month at most, and the various ores contained in the mountains of the Kingdom of Panir can be continuously transported to the Kingdom of Podo.

When the Titan appeared, all countries in the world of Viron were shocked by this giant machine that could move freely. They wanted to obtain the method of manufacturing this machine, so they sent elite troops from their own secret departments to sneak into the City of Hope. As a result, these people not only did not even find the mysterious Kingdom Laboratory of the Kingdom of Podo, let alone get the Titan-related manufacturing technical documents collected in the laboratory.

Therefore, various sayings have been circulated among the people. One saying is that the Kingdom of Podo obtained some kind of technology left over from prehistoric civilization, so that this almost magical behemoth can be created. Another saying is that this giant machine was created by the extraordinary people of the old era such as Leo through the combined efforts of extraordinary powers such as wizards and witchcraft, witch power, etc.

As for the last statement, it is that this thing is a magic weapon for protecting the country given to them by the ladies in the lake. Compared with the first two statements, this kind is more easily accepted by the people of the Kingdom of Bodo, because only those who have seen Titans with their own eyes can confirm that Titans are definitely not something that humans can make, and only gods can do it.

Because of the emergence of Titans, the overall combat power of the Kingdom of Podo began to be far apart from other kingdoms in the Mosan continent. The Kingdom of Panir was actively incorporated into the Kingdom of Podo, which was also influenced by Titans. In addition, countries such as the Kingdom of Galica began to establish a relatively close paramilitary alliance, and the Northern Tribal Alliance began to implement a policy of closing the country to the outside world to a greater or lesser extent.

Although outside countries were afraid and worried about the emergence of Titans, for the people of the Kingdom of Podo, Titans are something they are proud of. They are confident that they have the protection of Titans, and the territory of the Kingdom of Podo will become unprecedentedly safe. The overall loyalty and sense of belonging of the people will also increase rapidly under its influence.

In comparison, the people of Podo are eagerly looking forward to seeing the Kingdom of Panir in, and the Kingdom's territory expand peacefully, but the Government of Podo is not very interested in annexing the Kingdom of Panir.

This is not because the Kingdom of Podo is worried that annexation of the Kingdom of Panir will cause a series of adverse reactions in the surrounding kingdoms, or even a war, but because government officials can see from the latest government financial reports, personnel dispatch and other documents that until today, the government of the Kingdom of Podo is still slowly absorbing and organizing its own territory, arranging the appointments and training of civil servants at all levels, etc. It is estimated that it will take at least more than a year to completely control the Kingdom of Podo, especially the Sacket Plain and Odorene.

If the Kingdom of Panir was incorporated into the Kingdom of Podo at this time, then the Kingdom of Podo would definitely be short of manpower. In order to support the Panires who were incorporated, they might also need to use reserve grain, which may affect a series of subsequent plans of the Kingdom of Podo.

But an exquisite supplement with extremely high nutritional value and can complement the defects of the kingdom has been placed in front of them. If they don’t take the opportunity to annex the Kingdom of Panier, then they may not have such good luck next time. If they want to annex the Kingdom of Panier, they may pay more.

In the end, the officials of the Kingdom of Podo discussed with the parliamentarians for several days, but did not find a suitable solution. In the end, they could only hand over the matter to Toran I, and the king decided the final result of the matter.

Unfortunately, even Toran I could not find a suitable solution to this dilemma, so he made the same decision as his subordinate officials and continued to submit the matter to the couple who no longer had the business and stayed in Luyuan all day.

However, what Tolan did not expect was that after these documents were sent to Luyuan, according to the description of the person who sent the documents, the two of them did not even open the documents, so they returned the documents intact and told Tolan that he was already the supreme ruler of the country and that he should learn to make decisions and bear the consequences by themselves, and not always rely on them and their husbands.
