"You are our king, the king of the Great Corridor, and you should also be the king of the Emerald Sea. We are loyal to you and look forward to being able to escape our tragic fate under your glory."
"Why me, and not your own strong werewolves? For example, in the Emerald Sea, isn't there a werewolf duke?"
"The Bone Duke Minorca is the source of the tragic fate of all werewolves in the Grand Corridor. His reign of terror has made it impossible for all low-level werewolves to see tomorrow. As long as they are not so obedient or no longer useful, they will be driven into the tribe.
In the barren Grand Corridor, they are left to fend for themselves. In order to survive, the werewolves in the Grand Corridor can only continuously attack the Zheng State and use their flesh and blood to crush the Zheng State's fortresses to pieces."
When Xu Jingxuan heard this, he was furious and shouted: "You attack every year, and you talk as if you are innocent! The lives of you werewolves are important, but the lives of our human race are not valuable? There are so many soldiers of Zheng State who die in battle every year, and
What should I say?!"
A mercenary general with a bad temper immediately said: "Don't forget, we adults represent the human race, and we originally wanted to wipe out all of you wolf cubs."
Eskar was neither angry nor panicked, and said calmly: "General Xu, the human race is the same as us, facing the same problem. The limited land cannot feed so many people, or in other words, it cannot feed the people who reproduced in peacetime.
Population. Even if we don't fight, won't you expand abroad after your domestic stability? It's just that your first choice may not be the barren corridor. The real reason for so many years of war is to consume the tribesmen who can't afford it.
.”
Xu Jingxuan was at a loss for words. Of course he did not think that war was simply a consumption of the population, but if Zheng Guo had not changed its regime frequently, foreign expansion would indeed be inevitable. He could cite many reasons to prove the necessity of foreign war, but in the final analysis, we still have to fight a war.
?
Song Hui's face was full of surprise. She was already very wary of Eskar, but she still didn't expect that a werewolf, especially a werewolf in the form of a primitive tribe, would say such a thing. Esika's words sounded surprising at first glance.
It was hard to accept, and the purpose of the war was stated too nakedly and crudely. However, Song Hui knew clearly in her heart that those words were close to the truth.
The limited land cannot feed so many people. This sentence applies not only to the bottom continent, but also to the middle and upper continents. Because the standard of how to feed has no scale. Just living without starving to death still has a future.
Living, even living with dignity, is a world of difference.
At this time Qianye said: "Since this is the reason for war, then I can't solve it."
"No, only you, Your Majesty, can solve it!" Eskar said with great certainty.
"There is only so much land, but the population always needs to multiply. The more peace there is, the faster the growth rate. How should I solve it?" Qianye asked back.
Eskar said: "The land will not increase, but the output on the land can increase. Now the werewolves can only use the land in the most primitive way. If we can have the same civilization as the human race, then the werewolves that can be fed will be
Now it's ten times, or even more. However, Minorca doesn't allow the werewolves to change in any way. In his eyes, the way of life of his ancestors is everything."
"Fanatical ancestor believers." Qianye said.
Eskar lay motionless, waiting for Qianye's decision.
At this moment, Qianye's thoughts suddenly drifted away, and he remembered a name that he had not thought of for a long time, William at the top of the mountains. In the gray city of the Western Continent, at the Tulip Market, Qianye faced the internal contradictions of the werewolves for the first time. And now.
Today, even after seeing the living conditions of the werewolves in the Great Corridor, Qianye still feels that inheritance and change cannot be judged simply.
Moreover, the solution proposed by Eskar is not a one-time solution. The increase in output in the short term can feed more people, but this growth is not endless. It will always reach the upper limit, and then new contradictions and changes will appear.
The mode of production to change the living environment is only suitable for this time and this place.
Qianye stood with his hands behind his hands. After a moment, Fang said: "Since you think I am your king, then show me your loyalty. Eskar, the first batch of werewolf troops has been trained almost, you
Just lead them to attack the Emerald Sea."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After leaving the tribe, Qianye led the generals back to the battleship, while Eskar headed to the exit of the grand corridor on his own, preparing to attack the Emerald Sea.
On the way back to the fortress, the mercenary generals all found it a little strange and started talking among themselves. Qianye stood alone in front of the map in the grand corridor, silent in thought.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Song Hui walked in, then closed the door and said, "Do you really want to accept those werewolves?"
"What do you think?" Qianye asked calmly.
"What else can we do? The best way is to let those werewolves kill each other. When they are both injured, our army will attack from behind and wipe them all out in one fell swoop, uprooting them!"
"That's quite cruel." Qianye smiled.
"Compassion does not command troops. In addition to economic strategy, I also learned military strategy."
Qianye looked at her highly again and asked: "How far have you learned?"
"I have learned as much as Brother Qi has learned. It's just that I am not as talented as him. I am the future military god of the empire at a young age. I just learned it, but there is no place to use it."
"The same thing as Zining? That's really rare." Qianye praised.
What Song Zining learned was naturally the most complete military strategy, which could not be completed in a year or two. It was rare for a girl, Song Hui, to learn complete military strategies. Most of the strategies she came up with were quite feasible.
She is both feminine and ruthless, and not sloppy at all. Given time, she should be able to stand on her own.
Song Hui simply came to the big map, stretched out her hand to draw on it, and said: "As long as the dark races in the Great Corridor and the Emerald Sea are cleansed, such a large area can feed tens of millions of people. When the time comes, we will be neutral.
With the continuous migration of people from the land, and the annexation of Zheng State, we can build a country equivalent to two provinces of the empire. Even the Zhao clan is no more than this in terms of population and territory. Taking the Emerald Sea will mean entering Ke Ke
Attack and retreat can defend."
She turned over the map to reveal the entire map of Yonglu, marked two directions on the map, and continued: "At that time, if the time is right, we can attack the center of Yonglu. If we are not strong enough at the moment, then the south side can still
There are a bunch of small human nations. Let’s destroy them all first, concentrate all our efforts, and then fight to the death with the werewolf chief kingdom in the center.”
"Those small countries are also human countries. If we attack them first, wouldn't it be equivalent to internal strife?"
Song Hui spoke urgently and quickly, "These small countries have existed for so many years. Even if we don't fight, they themselves are fighting each other. Moreover, they are just lingering now, hoping that they will overthrow the Werewolf Emirate in the next life.
Come on! Since they can’t do it on their own, then don’t sit in the manhole and hand over the land and population, and let us do it!”
Qianye didn't expect that she would speak in such a vulgar way, but the truth was very reasonable. After thinking for a moment, Qianye said: "Let's see what Aiska will be like first."
"What if the Duke of Bones is beaten out?"
Qianye smiled faintly and said, "Then I will go and meet him."
"You?!" Song Hui was surprised.
"Of course it's me, how else could it be you?" Qianye laughed.
"But, that's the Duke! I feel that Eskar has evil intentions and wants to trick you into going to the Emerald Sea so that the Duke of Bones can deal with you."
Qianye patted her shoulder and said, "If that's the case, that would be convenient."
Song Hui sighed, knowing that Qianye had made up his mind and would not turn back. However, when she looked at Qianye, her eyes became brighter and brighter, until Qianye felt a little embarrassed.
Returning to Wolf Fang Fortress, Qianye immediately organized his army and airlifted the 50,000 werewolf troops that had just been mixed with the new army to the other end of the grand corridor as the main force for the first wave of attacks on the Emerald Sea. There were still nearly 100,000 troops in the two fortresses.
Werewolf warriors are undergoing intensive training, and more werewolf warriors are arriving in a steady stream.
The arrival of a large number of werewolves did not worry Qianye, nor did he deliberately strengthen the fortress defense. The two fortresses still had four doors open. In contrast, in Tacheng, Qianye had more than 10,000 mercenaries stationed.
, together with the original defenders and local guards, a total of nearly 30,000 people were stationed on the defense line. However, the front of this defense line was Zheng Guo.
When the 30,000 troops with werewolves as the vanguard were assembled, Eskar brazenly sent troops to the Emerald Sea without waiting for the follow-up troops.
The number of troops that have been reorganized is limited. Even if we include the strength of several large tribes at the exit of the grand corridor, it is not at the same level as the werewolves in the entire Emerald Sea. After the initial panic, the werewolf tribes in the Emerald Sea united.
, quickly dispatched an army of nearly 50,000 to intercept, while more troops were mobilizing in the rear.
The werewolf tribes that were sent into the Great Corridor were all exiled and abandoned. No matter their combat power or supplies, they were not the same as the local werewolves in the Emerald Sea. In the past occasional minor conflicts, even if the werewolves in the Great Corridor had an advantage, there would be
They were beaten to a pulp, not to mention that Emerald Sea still had a numerical advantage this time.
When the two armies met, the Emerald Sea Tribe coalition launched a charge from a thousand meters away, regardless of physical exertion. The offensive was overwhelming, trying to directly defeat the opponent with an unstoppable charge.
However, more than a dozen gunboats took off from behind the werewolf army in the Grand Corridor, and the fierce gunfire swept down the swarms of emerald sea wolves. And when they rushed into the shooting range, the emerald sea wolves discovered that what appeared in front of them was something they had never seen before.
Neat military formation. In memory, even in the memories of our ancestors, it seems that the violent werewolves have never been in a neat formation.
Then the Emerald Sea Werewolf forward was overwhelmed by the rain of bullets.
When they finally broke through the death zone and entered the familiar hand-to-hand combat, nearly half of their companions had fallen forever on the way to the charge.
In this hand-to-hand combat, the Emerald Sea Werewolves also experienced the power of a strict military formation for the first time. They were like the tide, slamming onto the rocks, but they were the only ones crushed.
In history, the first large-scale battle between the Emerald Sea and the Great Corridor Werewolves ended in a disastrous defeat for the Emerald Sea.
