In the arcane plane, six-ring spells and acid mist spells can summon thick acid mist within a range of dozens of meters. In the core area of the mist, steel will quickly rust, and its acid mist attributes are superimposed with complex effects such as "aging impregnation".
Quantum information.
Most of the yellow-green gas that filled the Xinghui Peninsula battlefield in 3579 was only at the first energy level when it was first released. But the scope was so wide that it would make even the giant dragon speechless! After all, the dragon's lungs were also
There is no storage capacity for tens of thousands of steel drums.
On this night.
According to the tactics of the leaders of the Sea Tribe, they originally wanted to take advantage of the humid night and let hundreds of thousands of servants outflank them under the cover of darkness, but they ran into this strange rolling mist head-on.
When the physical constitution exceeds fifteen points, it is equivalent to a magic steel heart. Such resistance can survive the acid mist. Most muscle naga can also be used, and the war turtles and mermaids are similar.
However, most of the middle and low-level sea tribes, as well as the mutated fighting fishmen, rely on the "Moist Sea Breeze", a magical blessing equivalent to a zero-level spell, when breathing on land.
When the acid mist enveloped me, there was no scream, because opening the oral mucosa would make it more painful.
There was also no coughing. A large number of the Sea Clan's cattle and horse soldiers relied on their gills to breathe. Finally, they twitched and twisted silently in the green clouds three to four meters high. This kind of decline before death set off some fish-like phenomena.
Oxygen jumping cloud waves.
After twenty minutes of this horrific killing, the acid mist at this energy level was filled with a large amount of death information, reaching the level of a forbidden curse.
Most forbidden spells are almost legendary means. Forbidden spells are not linked to high-level spells.
As long as a spell causes the casualties of tens of thousands of creatures, a message of death, fear, and decay that can shake up tens of kilometers will be generated, and as the spell spreads, the negative effects will be pushed to the living creatures within the range.
Soon in the death fog, those highly resistant sea tribes could no longer hold on. Their skin was pale and they were impacted by a large amount of negative information. This large-scale acid fog had a curse level on the few living creatures that were still squirming.
, has exceeded level seven.
A few war turtles tried to resist by squatting in pits, but were directly cursed to death by the negative death aura! The acid mist was not fatal to them, but the negative effects caused by tens of thousands of creatures dying in an instant could kill 9% of the body.
Ten cells die.
~
That night, as the thick miasma drifted over, the corpses of the Sea Clan littered the fields. Their number had been reduced by more than 95%.
What originally looked like a concentrated distribution of troops became scattered after the fog drifted away.
Nine hours later, when the early morning light arrived, the acid fog had dissipated from the land, and the remaining exhaust gas arrived and dissolved in the waves. Large fish and shrimps were still smoked to death.
The human militiamen in the position were required to wear masks soaked in soda water and guard the position on higher ground for a full night. Although they were upwind, some smells from the mist still came to the position.
Coupled with the continuous pitiful sounds of conchs dozens of kilometers away, the militiamen were still nervous and stayed up all night.
Just when the sky in the east was about to turn white, the glass-shaded kerosene lamps in the human coalition's staff headquarters were lit all night.
Groups of strong young men from the Northern Territory Military Group were updating the status of the Sea Tribe on the sand table every hour, and the nobles from the Xinghui Peninsula had no choice but to stay up late to discuss military meetings.
Robin, the new governor, proposed to lead the knights in a surprise attack at night.
Karit first confirmed that the idea proposed by his cub was a good one.
However, due to inadequate militia training, as well as night blindness and other unfavorable conditions, Carret rejected Robin's plan to set off a fire at night.
When there was no one else, that is, when the two of them went to urinate in the trench, Carrette grabbed Robin's ear and warned him: "Don't expect anything from your rookie teammates. It's good that they don't cause any trouble for you."

Half an hour later, the eastern dawn rose from the distant land, and the wake-up whistle sounded throughout the entire position.
The tank's boiler has been warmed up and checked. The soldiers who spent the whole night clutching their legion badges before falling asleep have also washed up and poured in the "Tea Herbal Oral Liquid"~ Well, it is a pure herbal drink with a taste similar to "Wong Lo Kat".
Oh, the reputation of this thing in the Northern Territory is like the "Red Bull" brand effect in East Asia in modern times. Drinking it can refresh you.
All positions were prepared, while the musketeers and knights began to attack quickly.
After receiving the order, four teams of knights from the Northern Territory, a total of fifty people, stepped on the accelerator of their heavy motorcycles and drove straight to the coastline, blocking the large group of sea tribesmen from escaping back to the sea.
Ninety percent of the strategic goals have been achieved,
That is: using one war to solve the Hai Clan’s vitality for decades at once. (In the history of Eastern civilization in the main world, this was Li Mu’s famous work against the Xiongnu.)
~
Eight hours later, the human coalition forces were busy from morning to afternoon.
On the sea, the fleet of the Northern Territory, which had retreated to the inside of the harbor before the war, also appeared on the scene at this time and blocked several river mouths. A network of wires with metal spikes blocked the river.
Note: Just as human heavy machinery maneuvers along roads, the sea snakes and war turtles of the Sea Tribe enter the inland along the river and escape from the river. Their speed is as slow as a turtle. The Sea Tribe tried to attack at night, and it just happened to be
The giant beast was sent into the river area.
So don't worry about other places, seal the traffic lines, and the Hai people will be the turtle in the urn.

On the 5th, 45 hours after the Battle of Acid Fog,
In Qingzao Bay, this place, two giant sea serpents fell down under the projection of anti-large rocket spears.
These two giant beasts, which can overturn merchant ships in ocean lanes, pounced on the streets in a bay with a depth of less than three meters.
The Birch, Willow, and Cypress, three rivet-studded iron-frame warships, occupied the deep water area at the exit of the Xinghui Peninsula harbor, using steam catapults to launch large quantities of flame heavy crossbow bolts.
In just four hours, the two sea snakes were filled with burning steel thorns, and all the scales on their upper body necks were burned off, and the rusty iron ropes on the bones of the spines were also crackled and burned into a line of flames.
necklace.
As for the ironclad ship, the anchor thrown out by the giant beast hit the steel shell with a bang. This metallic sound completely gave up the hope of the sea tribesmen who originally had any illusions.
After the two sea snakes were annihilated by the gunboats, the battle has come to an end.
During the two-day battle of the Sea Tribe, all 200,000 cannon fodder were exposed on the land. Later, large baggage units, such as tortoises and oversized crabs, followed the steam chariots more than 20 times in a row because of the Northern Territory Musketeers.
The interspersed fighting forced the Sea Tribe to abandon these units.
Now the only ones left are the mermaid mages and guardsmen of the Sea Tribe. They are now trapped in three puddles. They are more than ten kilometers away from the coastline.
Just like the "schools of fish" trapped in the reef pits after the tide goes out, squatting in the puddle less than three meters, holding up their own bone weapons, remaining fierce in despair, looking at the humans on the shore, waiting pitifully
Decided by fate.
~
The Xinghui Peninsula militiamen were quickly mobilized to excavate on the white line drawn with lime powder by civil engineers.
Oh, most of the earth was dug by excavators, and the militiamen used levers to knock out the small rocks in the earth.
These canals allow the Sea Tribe defenders to connect the puddles with lower areas. Wei Keng: "Faced with such an arrogant fish, we cannot let it get used to it. We must pump out the water."
In just a few hours, the canal was completed. As the explosives exploded, the last layer of soil blocking the canal and the puddle was blown away. The water in the entire puddle was rushing toward the sea, but only the puddle was
The mermaids in it cannot escape.
This process is bad for the big fish in the puddles.
The mermaids fell into the mud as the water level dropped. Any flopping would consume their energy due to the resistance of the mud.
All this is not over yet. According to the next plan of NORINCO after the water is released, it is to prepare to sprinkle hundreds of tons of lime into these puddles to adjust the acidity and alkalinity of these puddles.
~
Of course, this last step would hurt Tianhe. Well, after cleaning up the battlefield where the acid mist was raging, Master Wei felt that he had killed enough.
Karet gave the minds of these sea people a final warning.
As a result, overnight, the invading sea tribe came to talk.
On the predetermined high ground, Karit looked at these sea mermaids crawling out of the mud pond. Master Wei looked at the mermaids: Although the body was covered with mud, I have to say that the mermaids have really good figures, that waist, that
The waistcoat line above the navel. Tsk tsk.
Through the art of understanding, Karet understood that the morale within the sea tribe was low.
And it was learned that the mermaids of the Sea Tribe had already passed a coup to control all the conservative priests. Now they want to make peace with humans and are willing to accept human conditions.
In the camp, Karite looked at the sea tribe and said: "So, everything was instigated by a dragon, right?"
As everyone knows, this dragon is now in the mechanical camp, serving as an on-site scribe.
Miss Blue Dragon, who was recording the contents of the negotiation, had a very aggrieved face. It was clear that he (Carrette) asked her to instigate this invasion, but in the end it turned out that she was the one who instigated it.
~
The people who came to negotiate were three female mermaids. The status of women in the sea tribe is higher than that in the human world. Because, first, there are too few mermaids, and they shoulder the important task of taming the giant ocean beasts. Second: Female mermaids
They have higher magical talents than male mermaids, and the charm attacks brought by the sound waves of adult mermaids often start at the third ring.
As for the mermaids who are here to negotiate now, they are also very pitiful, claiming that they were instigated by unknown evil dragons.
Hearing this,
Wei Keng exhaled: "But why are you so easily instigated?" Wei Keng looked at these sea tribesmen with interest.
In the turbulent history of the main world in modern times, there have been many instances of countries taking collective risks to the outside world. Such things have occurred.
In the subsequent more than one hundred years of internal fighting, the blame was attributed to the instigation of the "madmen" of the era. Oh, this view of blaming it on a few bad people was because after the defeat, this group of cowardly thugs helped the entire social group in which they belonged.
Get rid of guilt and forget history.
If the entire ethnic group is not full of ideas: wanting to accumulate wealth by taking shortcuts and immersing in military adventures to achieve success, then how is it possible that all citizens are so stupid and can be instigated by "a small group of extreme right-wingers"?
~
On the Xinghui Peninsula, the Fifth Sea Clan War came to an end.
This war was a complete victory from all angles. In less than five days, the largest main force landing of the Hai Clan in the past century was wiped out.
Although a large number of murlocs were lost, given the high fertility rate of the sea tribe's animals, it only takes a few years to recover. However, high-level sea tribes are all long-lived species and face the same problem of reproduction difficulties as the elves. If it really
All were wiped out on the shore, and the entire mermaid clan in the North Sea will be weakened for hundreds of years.
And this time, after blocking all the sea tribes, the human side did not completely slaughter them, but chose the path of reconciliation.
Most of the young mermaids were detained, and they were given human bodies using transformation techniques (change system, four rings), and they accepted contracts to conduct trade in human society for three days.
~
This is not to take hostages, but to let them know the current property situation of human society and the concepts of trade and exchange.
In the post-industrial era, plundering is the most inefficient. Sustainable gains are to plan long-term and sustainable trade between the other party's resources and one's own. At the same time, under the interests of trade, transform the other party's social structure so that its social production fits our own.
industrial supply chain system.
Hundreds of thousands of marine creatures from the Sea Tribe invaded at once. Even if each Sea Tribe carried an iron tool or ceramic, they would not be able to bring back more than the cargo of a sunken ship.
And Carret now wants to tell them that as long as they abide by the rules, dozens or hundreds of ships can deliver goods to their doorsteps every year, and they can even customize industrial services.
After understanding the current situation, this group of people who are currently regarded as "hostages" by the Sea Clan will become the first group of people in the Sea Clan to take advantage of the situation, master the land and sea business channels, and then gain wealth and power.
The premise is to establish a consensus that allows both parties to accept communication. Wei Keng: "We cannot let these fish be scared."
No.9
When Karet fulfilled his promise and returned the first batch of ocean royals to the sea,
The Sea Tribe immediately handed over a large gift, a one-meter-long large shell filled with large deep-sea pearls and hundreds of conch shells containing gold.
This value is so high that Wei Keng is considering how to give back enough items.
The goods given back to the Haizu must be things that the other party considers "valuable in exchange". At the same time, business integrity must also be established.
There is no integrity in the Hai Clan, but humans must respect integrity.
From Karet's long-term perspective: it must be in order to prevent mispricing of sea and land trade, smuggling caused by huge profits, and then the development of uncontrollable forces. Human beings officially set the value of land goods for sea trade, and the premium cannot be too high.
So, about 150 tons of chromium-molybdenum-aluminum steel and ceramic forged currency were provided to them first.
When this group of sea people saw the "unprecedented" iron tools and the unprecedented promise of land people to help process them, some of them wondered if this was a trap.
It will take time to dispel the doubts of the Hai Clan.
As for what the northern industrial leaders will have to deal with next, it is "the autumn wind of poor relatives".
~
It took the Knights of King Aige a total of 18 days from departure to arrival.
By the time they arrived at the Xingyue Peninsula, the war was already over.
Most of the militiamen in the peninsula area have begun to return home. They are carrying uniform rucksacks, which contain souvenirs such as water bottles and shovels from this battle, as well as the silver coins promised in this battle, and the boxed pearls distributed. Since more than ten years ago,
The remaining memories of the training organization today are that most people still drive together in formation on the dirt road.
So what the belatedly arriving Knights of the Royal Capital saw were young men who had transformed into an "army" heading towards the villages on the Xingyue Peninsula.
It is as if the ‘Northern Territory’ is occupying various territories throughout the Star-Moon Peninsula on a large scale.
~
In the Xuexue territory, in Hailiu City.
Carrette was counting deep-sea pearls when her two cousins arrived!
Oh, this thing is the largest trade signed between the Northern Territory and the Sea Tribe. These natural pearls are difficult for land humans to collect, so they are expensive.
But for the sea tribes who have a ruling order in the ocean, it is very easy to collect these pearls, and there is a large amount of production every year, which can be exchanged with the industrialized mass-produced porcelain on land for futures exchange.
Natural pearls are just a substance synthesized from calcium carbonate and shellfish organic matter in the main world, but in this era of residual quantum information, natural pearls retain information from the long secretion time of shellfish in order to get rid of gravel.
This information can be used as raw materials for purifying magic potions to enhance the stability of mental power.
Of course, the amount of information contained in thumb-sized pearls is not too much. It takes about 150 pearls to make up the amount of raw materials for a test tube of "freshening potion". And one test tube of "freshening potion" is enough for an arcane apprentice for a week.
The dosage can increase the mental recovery speed of meditation by 10%.
So holding a large enamel porcelain plate and exchanging it for a pearl is not a huge profit. It is just the hard-earned money for purchasing raw materials. The profit here corresponds to the industrialized pharmaceutical production technology.
~
Carrette met her two cousins in a warehouse filled with boxes of pearls.
Oh, these two princesses were led into this warehouse. They were slightly startled when they saw Carret openly opening up about this harvest. On the one hand, they were horrified by the rumors that the battle on the Xinghui Peninsula had brought gains to the Northern Territory.
The huge amount of sea treasures is indeed a real thing. Of course, on the other hand, Carret's behavior is a side reminder that the capital should be aware of the power of the northern industrial territory and not make strategic misjudgments.
oh,
Of course, there is no need to avoid it. The trade between northern human industry and the sea people cannot be hidden in the future. Wei Keng has never thought about covering up "things destined to be normalized".
Karet appeared here and announced that he could negotiate some new trade. He also gave out gifts to communicate feelings.
~
Carrette wears a crown salvaged from nowhere on his head, holds a magic scepter inlaid with bright gems in his hand, and has a large string of luminous pearls around his neck. He has no etiquette, but his expression is sincere and joyful with his two sisters.
Meet
Karit: "You came just in time, I'm going to give you something. I don't want to choose carefully, you can choose it yourself."
The two princesses couldn't help but burst out laughing when they saw Carret's appearance.
Karite wanted to be bohemian, but she didn't know that the crown on her head was a princess crown, and she was quite handsome as a "human fairy". The twined pearls didn't have any wild temperament, but against the backdrop of the jewelery, there were some boys and girls.
Mutually.
At this time, Carrette stretched out his hand and pulled them to the corner of the warehouse, where three higher-end boxes were stacked. Each of them stuffed a large conch into their hands, which was about the size of a soup basin.
Then the box was opened, and thick ocean energy (quantum information) came oncoming as the box was opened.
There are fist-sized pearls on top, which are different from the large pearls just prepared to be used as "raw materials for juice drinks".
There is a swimming golden fish inside each pearl. The amount of magical information is hundreds of times that of the former, and the amount of information is extremely high-level.
And the gems of the deep sea,
And the ambergris in the blue crystal box. Even the conches given to the two princesses are magical containers with very exquisite patterns.
These three large boxes are the most precious items given by the Sea Tribe after the battle in Carret.
It is impossible to give these three boxes of things to the empire. I have already given too much to the royal capital of Aige. As a mature politician, I will never invest if I get no return.
But for these two princesses and cousin, we can do some public relations.
There are no extra people in this room now. As long as they pick up the conch, everything inside belongs to them. However, if all the boxes are given to the empire, they will not get anything.
~
These two princesses were originally very upright, and they came here with the intention of asking Karit to respect the public interests of the empire and not to reduce the supply of medicine. But now, these treasures are indeed tempting to ladies, and a certain
The art of gift-giving is really hard to deny.
The two princesses were pulled to the treasure chest, holding conches in their hands. It was not good to pretend or not to pretend.
Women are reserved,
Karit, on the other hand, took the initiative and was very enthusiastic. He took two chopsticks and began to pick out the gems, pearls, and mermaid teardrop stones, and put them into their bowls.
Wei Keng: "In modern times, bribery was, of course, elegant bribery. Well, of course it's not called bribery. It was a gift from my cousin to my sister."
As for the next step, eat people with soft words and take advantage of others with short hands. The main world has a whole set of knowledge that tests the bottom line of bureaucrats.
~
On the system side, Bai Linglu seemed to be seeing Wei Keng like this for the first time, and couldn't help but spat: "Learn from the good ones, and learn from the bad ones."
