Maybe it will attract the attention of Nicol Bolas, Ugin, Teferi, my cheap teacher Sorin and other ancient planeswalkers.

Remember, I don’t like surprises, and there is no need to increase my chips by taking risks and gambling.”

"As you wish."

Jinji Tasha hurriedly lowered his head deeply, not daring to look into those eyes that exuded golden light and endless majesty.

Vashtor on the side observed this scene carefully.

As a new member, he obviously does not understand the character of the father of New Phyrexia, so he rarely expresses his opinions actively.

However, the strength and caution shown by Zuo Si at this moment made this "half-immortal" feel very pleased.

Unlike Jinji Towers, who had never suffered any setbacks or failures, Vashtor was only a demigod in the subspace in the Warhammer universe. He was suppressed by the four Chaos Evil Gods of Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle and Slaanesh for a long time.

, and even once became a pawn in the opponent's game.

Therefore, when making important decisions, he is more inclined to carefully consider the chain reactions and risks that may be caused by all parties, and then calculate the benefits of success.

Zuo Si's warning to Jinji Tasha obviously made Vashtor feel very safe.

Because he also feels that with the current strength and scale of New Phyrexia, there is no need to take risks or make desperate moves. All potential enemies can be exhausted and killed bit by bit with step-by-step development.

Thinking of this, the God of Technology and Creation stepped forward and said in his unique voice: "Great Father of New Phyrexia, I have an immature suggestion about the Star God."

"Oh? What is it?"

Zuo Si asked back with interest.

"It's about the super weapon that your Shimmering Avatar is forging.

I thought maybe the Necron's method of releasing huge amounts of energy to tear the C'tan apart was not the most ideal one.

Based on the research on Titan's star soul, I think we should do the opposite and concentrate the energy collected from stars to create a singularity with a mass and gravity close to infinity.

Then the super gravity possessed by the singularity will in turn bind the Star God.

After all, since they can be torn apart by energy impacts that exceed the critical point, theoretically they will also be absorbed by the gravity that exceeds the critical point.

And all you have to do is to first shatter the Death Horror's outer skin to expose its energy form, and then throw the singularity into it.

Anyway, even if it fails, it will just take a little more time to collect stellar energy again.

But once you succeed, you can make the Star God a part of your own power just like you did with those Titan Star Souls."

Vashtor spoke out his inner thoughts in one breath.

"What do you think is the success rate of this?"

Zuo Si showed a thoughtful expression and was obviously a little moved.

You must know that his Shimmering Oil incarnation has embedded a large number of Star God fragments, so he is very aware of the huge potential possessed by this top-level life.

If the outsider Saranoga can be completely swallowed, the power of the incarnation of Shimmering Oil will immediately gain a qualitative leap, and it can even confront the Tyranids' hive mind head-on, completely lifting the fog that shrouds the entire Warhammer universe.

Vashtor replied firmly: "More than 70%. Because the Star Gods are generally the embodiment of the physical rules of the universe, they cannot ignore or even distort the physical rules to a certain extent like subspace creatures. The most important thing is

Even if you fail, there will be no visible losses or consequences, so you can feel free to try boldly."

"Interesting, I will consider it."

Zuo Si neither agreed nor refused immediately, but gave a very vague reply.

Because this decision needs to be made after he sees Saranoga with his own eyes.

After all, according to what was learned from the Silent King Szarak, who was the only one to leave the Milky Way and go to the wider universe, the dangers and terrors outside the Milky Way were beyond the imagination of the species and civilizations born in the Milky Way.

This is why even though the Necrons have the technological level to leave the galaxy and colonize the outside world, they still stay in their hometown without going anywhere.

Szarak also went out for a while and returned honestly to protect the galaxy from foreign invasion.

Maybe all the galaxies in the entire universe, except for the Milky Way, have been occupied by the Tyranids.

It has even given rise to many conspiracy theories.

Some researchers in the Human Empire believe that the Tyranids may have been transformed by the survivors who fled after the defeat of the Ancient Saints by using their immature super technology.

Because the insect swarm consciousness has many similarities with the ancient saints.

For example, they all have the power of immortality, can change and distort the laws of physics, have been above the cycle of life and death from the beginning, can create life as they please, regard planets, galaxies and galaxies as a whole, and treat all life equally.

etc.

The Eldar, who once fought against the Necrons for dominance in the galaxy, believe that the Tyranids may have been created by the Silent King Szarak.

No matter what the truth is, it is enough to show that the galaxy is an extremely special existence in the Warhammer universe.

And the outsider Saranoga floats on the outer reaches of the galaxy.

Zuo Si didn't want to make too much noise and spread it to the inside of the galaxy.

Just when he began to consider which method to choose to deal with the last complete star god, far away in the Pearl of the North in Faerûn, the city of Neverwinter, Eribes, who succeeded Nasir as the lord, was lying on a soft bed.

On the big bed, I listened to the report of the bureaucrats sent by the West Coast Empire to assist me in reform and rule.

At this moment, she was no longer as strong as usual, and she didn't even wear armor. Only the two-handed giant sword that was always burning with the flames of hell was still placed on the weapons shelf not far away.

Of course, it's not that I don't want to wear it, but that my bulging belly can't be stuffed into the armor at all.

And from the flashes of pain and frowning expressions on her face from time to time, it is not difficult to tell that she is already in labor and may give birth at any time.

In order to prevent possible accidents, several senior priests are waiting nearby at any time.

Even the Prince of Darkness, who always eludes the dragon, came all the way to witness the birth of this younger brother or younger sister.

For Grea, it is the responsibility and obligation of his eldest brother to ensure that his younger brother or sister will not be as rebellious as his older sister.

As for his father's lover, Aribes, in his eyes, is nothing more than a reproductive tool, just like his mother who is immersed in beautiful fantasies all day long, and is completely controlled and dominated both physically and mentally.

He couldn't even understand why Zuo Si would waste time and energy on these mortal women when he already had everything he wanted, appearing every once in a while to satisfy their physical and psychological desires.

If you really enjoy the happiness brought by this kind of behavior, wouldn't it be better to change it to a new one every day?

You must know that on that cold and dark planet, Greia recruited a group of young, beautiful, and pure girl believers to serve her on the advice of the Goddess of Night.

But he basically tastes it and then throws it aside and ignores it after it loses its freshness.

Aribes obviously didn't know how low her status was in the heart of the Prince of Darkness. After hearing the official's report, she immediately questioned: "You said that the surviving barbarian tribes in the Neverwinter City Forest and the Mountain of Beren

The villages and towns to the south are not willing to be included in our rule? Why? Are the conditions I offer not generous enough? Or do they think they can resist my army? "

"Madam, the above two are not the most fundamental reasons. The reason why they refused is because they feel that they have already joined the Trade Alliance and are nominally affiliated to the West Coast Empire. There is no need to go through the trouble of finding a master for themselves."

The official gave an explanation with a wry smile.

He clearly understands the thinking of these tribes, villages and towns.

But the problem is that the new lord of Neverwinter, who is ambitious and wants to do something big, doesn't think so.

"Hmph! A bunch of wallflowers on both sides of the fence. If you don't give them some color, those guys will never give up their power willingly."

Aribes sneered, then turned her gaze to the Prince of Darkness, and asked with a half-smile: "Dear Grea, what would you do if you were in this situation?"

"Me? I'll just ignore them."

Greia gave her answer without thinking.

This obviously surprised Aribes, who raised her eyebrows and continued to ask: "Why? I thought that with your character, you would definitely kill them all without mercy."

The Prince of Darkness replied in a very calm tone: "Because neither the barbarian tribes in the Neverwinter Forest nor the villages and towns south of Beren Mountain have much value.

My father once said that the strength of an empire is not directly related to its territory on the map, but is positively related to its effective rule.

This effective rule refers to the efficiency of extracting resources from the occupied land.

Whether it is materials in the traditional sense such as food, steel, cloth, condiments, or as another vital resource - population.

Let’s take the simplest example.

A country with a very large land area, but its administrative efficiency is very low. It often doesn't even know how many people it has, how much arable land it has, and how much steel it can produce every year. It can only rely on reports from feudal lords at all levels below.

The other country only has one-tenth the area of ​​the former, but its administrative efficiency is surprisingly high. Not only does it know how much arable land, population, and tax revenue it has, but it also knows the annual output of steel and various daily necessities. If necessary, it can

Conduct nationwide emergency mobilization.

Who do you think will win if a war breaks out between these two countries?"

"Of course it's the latter. Because they are more fully prepared and can effectively allocate the resources at their disposal to the maximum extent."

Aribes gave the answer after thinking for a moment.

Because this does not require much professional knowledge, and things like one city against one country and winning the war often happen in Faerûn.

Greya nodded slightly: "That's right.

Therefore, my father always emphasized effective rule from beginning to end, rather than playing the game of coloring on the map like some idiots who naively thought that as long as they conquered a certain area, it would become part of their own empire.

Only when the population and resources produced by occupying the land exceed the cost of ruling it can it be regarded as effective rule.

Otherwise, forcefully occupying this land will only bring a heavy burden.

In the same way, if you send troops to conquer these barbarian tribes and villages that are nominally subordinate to the West Coast Empire, not only will you not be able to make them sincerely surrender, but you may also arouse strong resistance.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although you can eliminate all those who dare to resist through suppression or massacre.

But in this way, the tax revenue that would have been brought to the empire would be instantly wiped out. At the same time, it would also have to withstand the huge pressure and condemnation brought by public opinion and morality, as well as the troops that must be stationed to ensure that large-scale rebellion does not break out.

.

In other words, it will change from a positive asset to a negative asset.

The more such land there is, the weaker the West Coast Empire will inevitably become, and when it exceeds a certain critical point, it will be like a giant stuck in the quagmire."

"So your point is to just ignore them?"

A flash of light flashed in Aribes's eyes. She was undoubtedly amazed by the words of the Prince of Darkness. She secretly sighed that she was indeed the heir of Zuo Si. No wonder she was able to swallow the incarnation of Cyric, the Prince of Lies, just after she was born.

"Yes.

For these tribes and villages with little centripetal force, instead of using force to force them to surrender, it is better to assimilate them bit by bit through economic and cultural means.
