The cat seemed to want to say something, but at this time, it endured it silently and just watched.

"I don't think so."

At this time, another voice came from outside the platform. After a moment, a winged monster suddenly flew up from below, flapped its wings and slowly landed on the platform. It retracted its wings and faced the chanter in front of it.

After expressing his humility, the poet turned into a human form...a bartender who looked elegant and sophisticated——

"Maybe that human girl is not good at strategic arrangements, but don't forget, she has a group of human officers under her."

The bartender looked humble, covered his chest with one hand, bowed slowly to the poet, and continued -

"In the past period of time, we have fought thousands of battles with these humans. The growth rate of humans is amazing, and these officers were trained in war. Moreover, that human girl

She is very good at listening to the opinions of her subordinates, so if she does not have sufficient reasons to convince these officers, these officers will definitely use their battlefield experience to convince the human girl to change such a bold strategy."

The soldier raised his head slightly, and his eyes were looking at Lagoon City in the distance, and even more at the sky outside Lagoon City that now belonged to humans. After a moment of silence, the soldier finally said -

"According to what you mean, the human army attacking us now is not based on the human girl's own judgment, but on the grassroots officers in the entire human race who have been fighting with us. They have made decisions in large and small battles with us.

I made a judgment. That is, we can be defeated through such a frontal battle... Humanity has made the decision that we can be defeated through this method, isn't it?"

The bartender saluted the soldier again, which was regarded as acquiescence.

On the platform, the wind began to soften and the snow became gentler. Just like a girl gently caressing her lover's face, and like a hot summer day.

Enjoy a cup of sweet mountain spring.

The bard closed his eyes slightly, raised his hand slightly, and the harp that was held in his arms just now disappeared and became a ring on the bard's finger.

With such thoughts intertwined, the bard finally opened his eyes again, with pity and questions in those beautiful eyes——

"Why do you think humans make such choices?"

The bartender faced the poet and continued: "If I were a human being, I would probably make such a seemingly absurd choice."

Everyone was silent, waiting for the bartender to continue.

"Human beings are creatures that need time and space to prepare for battle. In the words that humans can best understand, economy is the key factor that determines victory or defeat on the battlefield."

The cat nodded slightly: "That's what she likes to say the most."

The bartender pointed at the cat and smiled generously: "Gold coins are justice. And justice has unlimited power."

"If you want to fight us, humans need a huge economy as a foundation and a variety of industries as a backing to satisfy this war with us."

"If you look at it from a human perspective, after almost a year of fighting in the Iron Triangle region, they have reoccupied most of the territory of Tianhong Province and Diliao Province. With a little effort, these two provinces can be conquered

It’s not difficult to be fully included under my command.”

"But the question is, can occupying these two provinces really have any positive effect on the human army?"

The soldier took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask: "So... it had a negative effect?"

The bartender nodded: "That's right. Moreover, it still has a huge negative effect."

"I just said that human wars need to rely on the economy to run. And if you want to run the economy, you need land, population, and technology. These three conditions are indispensable."

"After occupying Tianhong Province and Diliao Province, the Mermaid Army has a large amount of land, and they also have no shortage of technology. But the only problem is

The problem is, they lack a large population."

At this time, the soldier finally understood something. He slowly exhaled and said, "We have killed all the people in these two provinces. Those who were not killed have all been transformed into our soldiers."

The bartender nodded again and continued: "That's right. Without the support of population, even if there is a large amount of land, it can only be wasteland. Even if there is technology, it is just idle technology."

"These two provinces now completely lack the manpower that can allow the human army to continue to operate, so if the human army really takes over these two provinces, and then wants to rely on a steady and steady strategic approach to develop these two provinces, in the end it will be with us

If it continues to be consumed, the resources that the human girl will have to invest in these two provinces in a short period of time will be an extremely terrifying astronomical figure."

The poet exhaled slightly and shook his head helplessly: "The economy is really the biggest obstacle that restrains her. What do you think she can achieve if she is no longer restrained by the economy?"

The cat responded: "If she no longer has financial constraints, then she will no longer be her, and the human girl itself will not be possible and will not exist."

The poet nodded: "That makes sense, continue."

The bartender continued: "Yes. Then I will continue to deduce my idea. Even if the human army decides to invest all its strength and completely transform these two provinces into economic starters, there is still a problem. That is the end of business.

Are you willing to continue entering these two provinces?”

"That human girl is a businessman, and she should know businessmen best. Although the human world often says that businessmen are willing to take big risks for a little profit, in my opinion, businessmen are actually the most conservative race in the human world.

This kind of race cannot bear to see any loss of profits. They are afraid of risks and do not want to take risks. Even if it is profitable, once the possibility of risk increases even slightly, they will immediately run away."

"Although Tianhong Province and Diliao Province were taken back by the human army, don't forget that the marginal province we are in now is on the edge of these two provinces and borders them. In other words, as long as we are willing, our

The army can fight back anytime and anywhere."

"Even if we may not be able to achieve an overwhelming victory in terms of grand strategy, our soldiers can often do some assault and mopping up work."

"Under such circumstances, how can the businessmen who seek the most stability invest a large number of business opportunities in these two areas that may become battlefields at any time?"

"Based on the sparse population in these two provinces, the need to invest a lot of resources, and the huge risks, but the return of returns is slow and may even be far away from the end. I believe this is what forced the mermaid army to give up here.

The fundamental reason for pursuing a steady and steady approach in the two provinces.”

The poet nodded and said with a smile: "If they really made the decision as you said, then their judgment is really correct."

The bartender smiled and saluted again.

Cat: "The reason why the human army cannot fight steadily is that we killed all the humans in these two provinces. However, you should know that this is not our purpose. Killing?????????????

??It’s just a means.”

The bard was slightly stunned by the cat's sudden reminder, and then he lowered his head thoughtfully.

The bartender glanced at the cat staring at the bard next to him, coughed again, and continued—

"This is war, and in war there are always extreme means. All of this is for the ultimate great goal."

"In addition, the human army now wants to challenge us directly and engage in a decisive battle with us. This should be the result of their careful consideration."

The bard nodded and came back from his meditation: "Continue, I want to know what else these humans want to do."

Bartender: "Since their war cannot be postponed, the next choice is naturally to fight a decisive battle."

"The one million troops deep in the Evermian Mountains should not be exposed, so for these human armies, they think their target is only the half million we have on the surface now. Although this is still a problem for the human army

It's a huge number, but it's clear now that it doesn't give them a sense of despair."

"However, the human army must also know that they can never delay time. Because delaying time will only benefit us. We can create more troops and kill more people. Therefore, they must end this war as soon as possible

This is the decision that is most beneficial to them.”

Faced with the bartender's thoughts, the bard covered his mouth and continued to think.

At this time, the cat next to him slowly floated up and came to the poet's face, staring at him with its sapphire blue eyes.

It seems... that he is looking at a decision, more like he is waiting for an answer from the poet.

But the warrior behind spoke in such silence: "The decisive battle... a decisive battle between life and death. This decisive battle will bring an end to this war. The mermaid army hopes to use their weapons to destroy our castle.

gate, and then directly face our Lord. It is with this expectation that they enter into this decisive battle."

At this point, it was not the poet's turn to refuse. He also turned his eyes to the cat in front of him and looked into those eyes. After a moment of silence, the poet couldn't help but smile and said: "You are hope, through this

A decisive battle to choose the real winner?"

The cat shook his head gently: "She did not choose to compete fairly with you. From the beginning, she was not on the scale."

"She is still so persistent." The poet smiled bitterly, but then he got up from the chair, patted the snow flakes accumulated on his clothes, looked at the sky in the distance, and said slowly, "But since,

She wants to fight this decisive battle, so there is no reason for me not to fight. We don’t have time to fight another fifty-year war. Let’s put an end to this war as soon as possible.”

Both the soldier and the bartender understood what the poet meant. The cat looked at the poet's decision and listened to his words and nodded without saying anything.

Soon, the bard's will was transmitted to the minds of every demon in this castle through the power of "the earth". Whether they are self-aware or not, all demons now understand

The moment of decisive battle is coming.

This awareness of the decisive battle spread to Pelican City at your feet, followed the road to Laohu City in front, and quickly spread to the minds of all the more than 500,000 demons staying in the marginal province. All the demons knew it.

Now they know what they should do and what they should do most——

Fight against humans and crush them to pieces!

————

Boom! Two blasts of elemental cannons, accompanied by two bolides flying into the sky, drew a bright arc in the night sky, and directly hit the wall of Lagoon City.

The violent explosion blasted out two large holes in the wall of the city that was used to defend the cavalry. As the fire spread, the demons inside roared and roared.

"Fire! Hold on! Follow me and hold on! You must not let any demon pass!!!"

The sound of bullets coming out of the barrel shattered the clouds in the sky, illuminating the battlefield at night as if it were daytime!

Countless demons swarmed out from the collapsed city wall, rushing towards the mermaid army here like a swarm of insects. The mechanized mermaid army had been firing continuously, and even three reloading guns were deployed as

Suppressive fire from the front line.

But even though the muzzle of the reloading gun kept firing bullets, the demons who were shot still continued to rush forward for several meters as if they were crazy before falling down.

A demon can rush forward several meters, and several demons in continuous iterations can advance more than ten meters towards the mermaid army.
To be continued...
