Chapter 1440

~7 min read 1,377 words

Hmm... it seems my Pillar God experience card still needs to be extended for a few more days.

After dragging the hexagonal snowy mountain back from the earth's core and putting it back on the border of the two countries, feeling the Northern Kingdom's territory become completely flat, Li Ang, who had reacted, could not help but scratch the back of his head and smiled at the female cleaner's family with a guilty conscience.

"Sorry, this is my first time using this ability, I seem to have gone a bit too far..."

"Lord Director is too modest."

After hearing Li Ang's words, Director Aquarius, who had witnessed everything with Harvey from a higher place, could not help but wave his hands hurriedly:

"Thanks to you this time, otherwise, given the situation at the time, the three earth tribes would definitely have tried to reproduce the plan from ten years ago and detonate all the volcanoes again. And right now, the bureau is short of manpower and can't spare anyone to suppress them again. You had no choice but to do that."

Ah, as long as you can understand.

After listening to Director Aquarius's comfort, Li Ang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and then promised:

"You can rest assured, I will definitely not ignore this matter. Although those mountain peaks I threw down can't be picked back up, I will try my best to make up for the rest..."

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, the blue-haired King's brain buzzed, and he asked hurriedly:

"What do you mean by can't be picked back up? You... you mean those mountain peaks you just threw down are all gone?"

"Uh... not gone, just fell into the earth's core and can't be picked up."

Facing the blue-haired King's inquiry, Li Ang, who had just "saved" the Northern Kingdom, had to explain awkwardly:

"Among those mountains I threw down, most of them were shattered in the collision, and the place where they fell is a bit far from your territory. In a sense, they are considered damaged lost items...

Hmm... in short, I am putting the remaining mountains back. I don't know exactly how many are missing, but I feel that your Northern Kingdom will probably have seventy or eighty fewer mountains in the future... ninety is also possible."

How many? Seventy or eighty?

After hearing Li Ang's rough estimate, the blue-haired King's breathing suddenly stagnated, and he almost passed out directly.

Half of the Northern Kingdom's territory is flat ice plains without any shelter, and the west side facing the sea has no mountain shelter, often being swept by storms that span the entire border. Fortunately, there were more than a hundred large mountains that could block the wind.

Excluding a few tribes that occupied special terrain, 80% of the remaining citizens of the Northern Kingdom lived by the mountains, and there were more than 400 tribes of various sizes that needed mountain barriers to resist storms.

Now you're telling me that these mountains can't be picked back up?

We only have 118 mountains in the whole country, and you smashed seventy or eighty of them in twenty minutes? It's even possible that ninety are missing in one breath? Then this... isn't this directly destroying my country?

"Rest assured, before I took action, I thought of some ways to deal with the aftermath, and I won't really let your citizens have an accident."

Looking at King Harvey... the former King, whose eyes were almost popping out and who was completely stunned, Li Ang hurriedly tried to remedy the situation:

"The largest hexagonal snowy mountain is still there. I can spend time slowly dismantling it and replenishing the mountains you are missing. If a super-large storm occurs during this period, I will also take action to stop it immediately.

In addition, I have already transferred the Northern citizens who were affected by the lack of snowy mountains to the nearest safe zone. As long as we distribute supplies later, we can directly minimize the impact..."

"But... what about after that?"

After listening to Li Ang's solution, the blue-haired former King took two rapid breaths, finally not suffocating himself, and then asked with despair in his eyes:

"Even if you can send those mountains back, they will definitely be completely different from before. With eighty or ninety fewer mountains, our Northern Kingdom's original production model is completely finished! Mining, hunting, herding... those things that originally maintained life all have to start from scratch. Resource exploration, selection of hunting grounds and pastures, and the construction of transportation lines and supporting facilities will take at least thirty or forty years to get back up, and our supplies can only last for a year or two. How do you expect us to live for the remaining thirty-odd years?"

"Uh... you can also accept international aid."

After pondering along his train of thought, Li Ang blinked and said:

"After the Kingdom of Kroke was destroyed by the tsunami I... I encountered, our kingdom accepted the technology and skilled manpower from there. As long as we have the supplies, we can start producing more efficient production machinery, and living supplies will definitely be supplied.

In addition, the Kingdom of Oleson is still our ally. You can buy the grain you lack there. You should also know that Oleson is known as the Kingdom of Green Shade, and they have endless grain, which can also meet your needs.

Finally, I can immediately open several channels in the middle of the hexagonal snowy mountain to facilitate the transportation of supplies. Even in the worst case, we can transfer grain and supplies in half a year, ensuring that you won't have any problems."

If you put it that way... then it seems there is still hope?

After carefully pondering Li Ang's words and finding that there was still a turning point, the blue-haired former King regained his spirits and asked with hope in his eyes:

"Free of charge?"

"It costs money."

"..."

"But you can owe it first."

Seeing that he started panting like a bellows again, looking like he might "pass away" at any time, Li Ang hurriedly added:

"Don't be discouraged, you will definitely be able to pay it back. When I was smashing the mountains down just now, I deliberately checked the situation. I chose those 'cheaper' mountains when I smashed them.

Among the mountains left for you now, basically all have some high-value products such as mineral deposits, and I even preserved many rare animals for you. As long as they can be well developed later, your repayment pressure will be much smaller!"

"..."

I really thank you!

Broken by Li Ang's sincere persuasion, and when he remembered Li Ang's other identity, the blue-haired former King felt a wave of sorrow.

When I finished lunch yesterday, I and my kingdom were still fine, but less than twenty-four hours later, Kucha was kicked into a level-ten disability by the enemy prince, directly changing from a strong Northern power that spanned the north and south to a raw material supplier and product dumping ground.

And what's even more infuriating is that I have to thank him! While sending money to people for thirty or forty years, while kneeling and kowtowing to people, crying and thanking people for saving their lives...

This is too bullying... woo woo...

"Uh... this is not necessarily all a bad thing."

Looking at the blue-haired former King whose eyes were already filled with tears, Li Ang, who felt it was outrageous himself, hurriedly racked his brains to comfort him:

"Think about it, because the hexagonal snowy mountain was blocking it before, it blocked all the warm air, making the temperature in your north extremely low, basically no grain-producing land, and because there were no mountains blocking the west, there were storms every year.

When I replenish the mountains for you this time, I can open a few more openings in the hexagonal snowy mountain to let the warm air in to help you raise the temperature, and I can also build a few vertical small mountain ridges along the coast in the west to block the storms blowing from the sea...

Hmm... wait a minute, my 'phone' seems to have moved."
