In the west, they had been fighting with the rest of the three colleges, and Abel, the general of the Army, who had lost a lot, had further thoughts about the people of the Academy. This general came from a powerful family and his ancestor was a famous Guardsman in the Astra Militarum.
It was said that these things that happened a hundred years ago, today, he was already being treated as a legend. There were not many people left who believed and Abel was one of them.
"A battle in heaven with the gods, this is the glory of the ancestors of the Dermot family." Abel was standing in front of a high mountain, seeing the vast land in front of him, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.
"And I..." After a long time, the corner of Abel showed a wry smile of self-deprecation, "Now I'm reduced to a minor general, I am very ashamed."
The Dermot family had fallen from being a powerful family back then. Today, even though Abel was the eldest son of the Dermot family, he could only be a small general of this team of 500 men.
Three days ago, during the siege of the remaining people of the three institutes, the opponent's firearms killed nearly 100 people directly on the spot.
"There is such a strong firearm in the world." Abel couldn't help but have some thoughts in his mind, "It seems that no one else knows the details now if it can be used by me..."
Thinking about this, Abel couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart.
***
At the same time, in the southwest, with the fact that Max Kendall was in charge of the Empire and had installed a puppet emperor, people here were against it. Local administrators and large families were even more so. They did not recognize this five-year-old puppet emperor, instead, they elected a royal themselves!
This member of the royal family was named Tobiasz Vale and he was the uncle of the five-year-old puppet emperor today. Vale was over 40 years old and was loyal and compassionate, he was quite beloved by the local people.
As this news came out, it also attracted a lot of people to join. Among them, there were two men.
With a long beard and red face, nearly two meters long, his name was Janvier Barnes.
A short-bearded man with an extremely large physique, his name was Charlton Miles.
The three men met at once. That day, in the inner courtyard, the three of them walked and chatted after dinner.
"Brother." Miles scanned the surroundings. Seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "I can see that these individuals are making our elder brother emperor for their interests."
Neither Vale nor Barnes said anything. The two of them were not stupid as they had long been aware of this truth.
"Brother, be careful." Vale was a very cautious person, he didn't dare to talk about it.
"Hmm." Miles coldly snorted and said, "See, these guys have long been displeased, why should my brother be their puppet? We have brought dozens of men. As long as you raise your arms outside, it's not difficult to recruit hundreds of people, why should you be afraid of them?"
"Brother." Barnes glared at Miles and said, "Don't be impulsive, we are under heavy surveillance here, and every move will be noticed. It's no problem if you want to recruit hundreds of good guys. But how would you bring them back?"
"This..." Miles couldn't help but frown.
"That's right." Miles's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "I once heard someone say that in a certain area, there is a guy named Apostol Masson, who is very intelligent. How about we go ask him for help?"
"Masson?" Vale and Barnes looked at each other.
They could see the intention in each other's eyes, this was indeed a famous person.
On the very same day, the three of them made an excuse. They went to Harpsevain in the name of traveling in the mountains and playing in the water.
While in the mountain forest, the three of them used a group of bandits they knew. The people who followed the surveillance as well as themselves were caught up in the fight. Subsequently, they took off again and went to Masson's residence.
However, things didn't go too well. Only after visiting three times in a row, did Masson receive them. After asking a few questions, Masson smiled faintly. An idea was proposed.
Vale was shocked. In the present Imperium, all the generals stood side by side but it was still considered complete and unified. The court had a high power and Max was the one controlling the court.
"From the situation and the geographical point of view, this future world..." Masson smiled and said, "It will be divided."
Masson's finger pointed to three locations on the map, which were, North of the Imperium.
***
In the South.
They were scattered in all directions, fleeing to all places. East, West, South, North, and more remote locations. When Abel met this team, it was the biggest team in the South and the capital city of Imperium, next to a wide river named, Mighty Canal. That river was the longest and largest river in the entire first continent, and there were natural dangers of the river.
Imperium's management of the south had always been inadequate, especially after the world fell into turmoil, as the people here directly expelled the administrators. Although it did not become a country of its own, it was pretty much the same.
Among the locals, the largest family. The patriarch of this generation was called Lynton Stenger, who took over the position of the patriarch at a young age and did a great job. He was very prestigious in the family. Outside, his popularity was also very high.
He was elected as the co-leader of the local people and Stenger was not the same as other local people. He loved to read, especially the books that had been passed down from the three institutes. And the various contents recorded therein made him amazed.
"There is such a weapon in this world." Stenger saw a book about a powerful weapon called the 'Sound-Absorbing Arrow'.
He could not help but crave it and looked at the longbow hanging on the wall. It was supposed to be his favorite but now, it didn't seem good anymore.
"This weapon... The Astra Militarum back then only had the manpower. No wonder Emperor Kai was able to suppress the entire world." The more Stenger thought about it, the more emotional he became.
Because in the era of Kai, a lot of research happened, a weapon like a sound-absorbing arrow was produced in that era. It was even more strictly controlled and was not allowed to spread out easily.
Later, after more than a hundred years, a lot of information that was either hidden within the palace or after the collapse of three institutes was taken away and hidden by the remaining people.
For civilians, there was only basic craftsmanship and there was no outreach to the most valuable things. That was an important reason why Imperium's technology development was very slow for over a hundred years, it was still ideologically backward.
Even if there were academies, the three institutes were shabby. It was either passed on to the family member or passed on to the students, there was no way for other. Not to mention the locals, who were separated by the Mighty Canal, there were not even many people who could read. Such things for them were like a fantasy.
"If I could get this kind of weapon..." Stenger's eyes were full of desire.
Unfortunately, he was also aware that even if there was such a craft in the world, it would be very far from this remote place.
"Patriarch-!" This time, a Guard quickly walked in.
"What's the matter?" Stenger asked.
"A few beggars are shouting at the door, saying that they are people from those three institutes and want to see the patriarch, should they be driven away?"
"From three institutes?" Stenger was startled and immediately said, "No, invite them in!"
That was it. A part of the people of the three institutes was taken in by Stenger in the south.
This time, the situation in the world was not obvious. Captain Max, who held the reins of government, had a heavy weapon. That was still the strongest side and other forces were like a cat and a dog in general. Although the number was large, there was no superior.
Max, Vale, and Stenger invited the remaining people from the three institutes, but almost no one paid attention to this. In the eyes of most people, what good could these nerds do?
However, soon, the people of the three institutes told the world with facts. They were not only useful, they were also crucial.
With the full support of Max, Vale, and Stenger, these hundreds of researchers burst out with amazing energy, and many important theories and research were born in this period. For example, the word "Science" appeared for the first time and it was gradually accepted by everyone.
Analytic geometry was created by a Scientist and Mathematics became an authorized subject. Of course, due to the change in time, practicality had the upper hand, especially in the manufacturing of various weapons.
The flintlock was modified again and again, so things like guns were also developed and further developed. As for the sound-absorbing arrows that Stenger had in mind, technically, it was not difficult but the issue was that Vibranium was needed as a material. All of it was stored in the palace treasury, so there was no way to make it.
After seeing one result after another come out, Max, Vale, and Stenger were overjoyed. To recruit better talents, they started to build their institutes without a second thought. The effect was also quite good, as it attracted aspiring people from all over the world.
As well as, researchers or descendants of researchers who were originally hiding. These people joined, stimulating the advancement of various areas of technology.
This period was quite popular in the history books. It was as if a long drought had been met with rain, letting the various fields going downhill get back on the right track.
It laid a very important solid foundation for the first Technological Eruption later.
