“Hmph...since ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍you put it that way，I’ll spare their lives for now。”

Kate ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍felt goosebumps rise all over her body，and rather frantically slapped the culprit’s chest：“Don’t actually treat me like a child you bastard！！！”

She ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍had not expected Mitia to recover so much faster than her，right now she still had the appearance of a little girl，while Mitia could already freely change her form。

“I truly apologize，this one always forgets that，it really is because your current appearance is far too adorable，fragrant and soft，so nice to pet。”

The two bickered noisily，but to outsiders it merely looked like a mischievous daughter acting spoiled toward her own mother，and knowing smiles appeared on their faces in unison。

The two strolled casually along the street，while more than a dozen people faintly followed around them，forming a circular Protective Perimeter that guarded the two at its center。

Mitia looked at the sparse pedestrians on the street and the ruins of some shops that had yet to be cleared away，feeling rather emotional。

The King of Pue Lent had conveniently been sent away by her during that Self-destruction，and after losing both its King and that Large Mechanical Body the Kingdom had also lost its final reliance。

At the same time as the unlucky one on the very front line of the main battlefield taking the brunt of everything，the resistance of Pue Lent’s people also came the fastest，after the Alliance Army entered their cities they offered almost no resistance，instead lining the streets to welcome them。

The disappearance of the Kingdom seemingly did not leave any mark in their hearts either，as though it had never existed at all。

Actually it was not difficult to understand，as one of the nations closest to Suria，they were the ones who could most directly feel the earth-shaking changes in the lives of the Surian people。

Because after the Surian people became wealthy they loved buying things everywhere，and since they were the closest they naturally received the greatest amount of consumption。

In a certain sense，the reason Pue Lent had enjoyed a fairly good life was closely related to the Surian people’s frenzied consumption。

However all of this changed after the Kingdom declared that it had entered a state of war with Suria。

Many Ordinary People actually did not hate war，because in their eyes war was the soldiers’ business，if they won the people benefited，if they lost then it merely meant the soldiers died，it did not have much to do with them。

They were also extremely envious of the wealth of the Surian people，and greedily coveted their prosperity。

But they quickly changed this foolish idea，as the intensity and duration of the war continued to increase，they gradually began going hungry，the entire nation worked high-intensity endless overtime，there was no bread，and even obtaining water began becoming difficult。

Food began to be rationed，many industries were requisitioned by the state to satisfy military needs and stopped caring about them，all kinds of Daily Necessities began running short and prices skyrocketed。

Later there was even large-scale Conscription across the entire nation，the Lords’ lackeys went door to door counting heads，exchanging their brothers and sisters for a slip of paper and sending them to Military Camps for training before they died on the battlefield。

Some families did not even have the chance to wait until the following week to go to Church and pray for their children’s safety，within two days they received a Death Notification for their family member。

Only then did they realize just how terribly wrong they had been，none of them knew whether winning the war would bring any benefits，but their children had been sent onto the battlefield，and even the homeland where they had lived for generations had become a battlefield，they experienced the pain personally。

There was nothing more important than an ordinary peaceful life，and they had always hoped the war would end as soon as possible，fortunately the Alliance finally arrived。

Patriotism？

In their eyes Pue Lent had long since ceased to be their nation。

You could ask me to Sacrifice Myself for the Nation，but you could not demand that my family sacrifice their lives，Pue Lent did not care what the lowly people at the bottom thought and continued doing whatever it pleased，so the citizens basically applauded the disappearance of the Kingdom。

Good riddance！Good riddance indeed！

And after the Alliance entered the various states of Pue Lent it did not leave them disappointed and anxious for long，the Alliance Army immediately began reshaping the new postwar order for Pue Lent。

Opening the granaries and distributing grain，repairing bridges and paving roads，clearing ruins，maintaining public order，after Alliance soldiers took over Pue Lent they quickly stabilized the territory of the Pue Lent Kingdom all the way until today。

And Mitia’s objective this time was Pue Lent which had everything waiting to be rebuilt，she intended to establish the first company under her new target plan here。

At this time Pue Lent had basically already been completely recovered by the Alliance，bringing order back to this nation，and arriving together with it were all kinds of Infrastructure Support，as well as an entirely new Employment-based Disaster Relief Program。

The Pue Lent Government reorganized under the Alliance’s leadership reached an agreement with the Alliance，the Alliance would provide Pue Lent with large amounts of preferential support，Industrial Aid，while Pue Lent would produce according to the Alliance’s plans after its industry recovered。

And as for exactly what Pue Lent would have to pay under the specific agreement，that depended on how large Mitia’s appetite was today。

Mitia took Kate around to have fun for several days，while also using Intelligence Materials to conduct a comprehensive inventory and investigation of Pue Lent’s remaining assets，only then did she finally establish the standards。

First of all there was no doubt that Pue Lent was a defeated nation，the nation itself had disappeared，but the Alliance did not issue an astronomical penalty bill，instead demanding Compensation for the casualties of Alliance soldiers，while an entirely new company was established in Pue Lent。

This company did not participate in any field，instead hanging up a sign for something the people of the Main Continent had never seen before，something called a Security Company。

At the same time a Pue Lent Bank was also formally established，serving as a new institution connected with the Alliance Central Bank。

It was said that from now on all Support Funds coming from the Alliance would be distributed and transferred through it，while at the same time it would also provide funds to people who wanted to start businesses。

At the same time the Kingdom of Pue Lent was also officially downgraded into the Pue Lent Region，with each State relatively independent。

Later State Referendums would be held，allowing them to vote for themselves，the States would freely choose whether to form entirely new nations with one another or simply join the Alliance，everything would be decided by themselves。

According to the intelligence Anna transmitted to Mitia，three Main Ethnic Groups within the Kingdom of Pue Lent had tendencies toward establishing independent nations，and the appearance of at least three to four small nations in the future was already a certainty。

The Alliance would later implement this method throughout all Occupied Territories，while simultaneously carrying out propaganda alongside the advance of the Front Line，to break down the opposing population’s determination to resist to the greatest possible extent。

The Alliance did not need too many Great Powers to become Brother Nations，in its projections only Ernesto would be an Allied-level Nation，while Suria might perhaps count as half of one。

As for the rest they would all be partitioned into small nations with no authority over one another，“economically autonomous”。

This was also the fundamental reason why the Kingdom of Pue Lent disappeared so completely

Compared with restoring some nation that belonged to who knew whom，with the Alliance explicitly stating that it would not interfere，the ethnic groups of the various States were clearly more interested in how to let their own people establish a paradise belonging to themselves。
