Chapter 340 The situation is becoming increasingly chaotic.
Twin Islands.
This place is located at the core of the entire Chaos Islands. If the entire Chaos Islands is the throat between the Northern Storm Ocean and the Two-Coast Sea, then this place is the throat of the Chaos Islands.
A huge island that is completely separated in the middle, but still connected underground, below the sea level.
The huge bay formed in the middle is one of the golden waterways that resounds throughout the world, and countless ships pass through it every moment.
The tax collection alone is enough to make the four kingdoms rich.
It also contains great strategic value and political significance.
The Twin Islands derived from the existence of this waterway have become the richest place in the entire Chaos Archipelago, where every inch of land is truly worth a lot of money.
This is a place of chaos, hope and evil.
The four major kingdoms jointly established their capitals here. They also had some territories outside the Twin Islands, but they could not support their current important status.
Behind every kingdom there is a powerful force supporting it.
The top ten nodes in the world.
No empire has ever gained a complete node, as none of its rivals want to see their enemy gain absolute dominance in a certain area.
The ten empires have complex relationships.
Every empire except the five great empires wants to go further, but their influence is limited to their own surroundings, and they cannot expand across the world like the five great empires.
-------------------------------------
Four kingdoms surrounding the Twin Islands.
Near the northern area.
The territory belongs to the Colorful Kingdom.
Once upon a time in the Age of Discovery.
The Chaos Islands also have their own original residents.
Only as time went by, they were forced to choose between assimilation and death in the face of the increasingly progressive colonists.
The Colorful Kingdom was a relatively peaceful kingdom in the past.
Although it is a bit shameful, it is already a very good manners compared to other kingdoms that cannot retain even a trace of the original indigenous blood in their territory.
A colorful kingdom with 18 legends.
It can be said that it is the only existence without the support of imperial-level forces.
It also has an ally elsewhere.
Relying on this ally who was stronger than themselves but not at the imperial level, the two different forces were able to work together to maintain their voice in the Golden Waterway.
This force that has accumulated a large amount of wealth will not withdraw when the Colorful Kingdom is in trouble.
In this day and age.
Compared to the time when the Age of Discovery had just arrived, the major empires in the Old Calendar period reached a consensus on principles in order to gain common interests.
Because the world has been almost divided up, the forces that have not been colonized or divided up are mostly tough nut to crack.
For the sake of fragmented interests, the major empires have abandoned their original principles of unity and started fighting each other.
That is why the Colorful Kingdom was able to express its opinions at this time.
After all, the Chaos Islands have been in chaos for so many years, relying on playing both sides between different empires.
This huge kingdom, which has been established for more than a thousand years, is the oldest and has the strongest foundation among the four kingdoms.
So compared to the other three kingdoms, it actually has more freedom.
However, the older a country is, the more drawbacks it has.
Today, with the chaos of the times, this ancient and conservative kingdom has begun a new round of ideological struggles.
This is the current era.
Whether on the continent or on the ocean.
It can be said that it is not peaceful at all.
The Chaos Islands are full of war and chaos, with various monsters fighting each other, evil gods causing trouble, pirates running rampant, and even internal uprisings within the country.
It can be said that human life is worthless, and most kingdoms have done their best to stabilize the situation.
There are dozens of kingdoms and three-digit principalities on the Chaos Islands.
All of them are out of shape, and the Chaos Islands have not been spied on and swallowed up by other forces.
Because they are not in shape either.
The chaos on the mainland is not much different from that in the Chaos Islands, where the order is relatively weak.
A certain evil god suddenly arrived.
Three of them happened in the past 20 years, causing great turmoil on the continents they belonged to!
20 years is undoubtedly a very short time for a plane, but the terrifying plane waves and powerful energy of heaven and earth on the entire planet Modo quickly reached its peak in 20 years. It is even possible that historians have discovered that this is the highest moment on the planet Modo except for a few periods.
This trend is still going up without any pause.
If the energy is not sufficient, the plane barriers will be relatively shallow, and it will be easier for the evil gods to descend. However, this plane with low energy will not give them too good a harvest, so they will not target this place.
The barrier of a large plane that is too full is more difficult to destroy, but the evil gods will try without giving up. Once it is broken, the over-full tide and the just-rising life of the plane have not had time to become stronger. At this time, the evil gods like to come out and cause trouble the most.
Just at this critical moment.
The 36th King of the Colorful Kingdom.
The old emperor Tukuma, who has great prestige, is over 300 years old this year.
As a legend, he was born at the end of the Age of Discovery and the beginning of the new calendar, and he was a genius who achieved legendary status in just a few decades.
He is undoubtedly a wise and heroic leader.
Known as the Seven-Colored Lion, it has ensured the stability and economic development of the entire Seven-Colored Kingdom for hundreds of years.
But no matter how powerful and brilliant a person is, there will be a time when the curtain falls. This old king finally grew old and reached the age of retirement.
Several princes suddenly became restless.
-------------------------------------
Machinery city.
This is one of the two richest places on the continent of Ethelmond.
It is also the core area of an empire that has just risen in the past ten thousand years.
The Magical Machinery Empire is the youngest of the five higher empires.
All creation and glory originated from this city of pure metal.
This place is undoubtedly the holy land of mechanical alchemists.
royal palace.
As the eighth emperor of the Magical Empire.
Nicholas I was in a palace filled with gears and a large number of seats moving on tracks, accompanying his council, his advisers, his ministers, and the parliamentarians to handle government affairs.
The Demonic Mechanical Empire is not a place where the emperor has the final say.
The Mechanical Alchemist is the real master of this empire.
Their research and inventions have successfully made this country glorious.
The parliament is divided into the House of Commons and the House of Lords, with the nobles above and the folk alchemists below controlling all power.
The king can only control the House of Lords and represent the interests of some great nobles. Although he has great power, he also has to compromise and satisfy the interests of the vast majority of mechanics and alchemists.
不然的话，帝国内有一句俚语。皇帝只能掌控1/3的帝国(皇帝的直属封地20％，剩下忠心于皇帝的人可以算1/10)。
