When arriving at the resettlement place that Ye Shui mentioned, Lu Yu could see many mushroom people from Blue Water busy.
Judging from the piled wood on the side and the soil being lifted out of the ground with magic, Blue Water is planning to build certain defenses here to deal with the enemy forces that may pursue here after the defeat of Blue Water City.
Ye Shui told Lu Yu that Blue Water was at the southernmost point of Mostana, but they did not feel that they were very safe.
Serel has developed extremely rapidly in recent years, and the cross-continental business system has greatly improved them. After the gap in equipment and magic has gradually widened, it has become difficult for many races to fight against Serel's army.
Some elders among the elves pessimistically believe that Mostana will usher in a unification they do not want after a great war.
Lu Yu wanted to know what other races were doing during the more than a hundred years when Serel did not expand externally.
Just watch and wait silently?
Ye Shui entrusted Lu Yu's mushrooms to the people of Lan Shui. Like Ye Shui, the mushroom people of Lan Shui couldn't help but gathered around when they saw this person who could recall their former form.
Hug, hug, hug.
I don’t know if this is an action that is engraved in my memory, but Vanessa seemed to have walked this way back then.
Seeing that their mushrooms were quickly accepted, Lu Yu and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Time was tight, and after rushing all day, the exhausted Ye Shui finally brought Lu Yu back to Lanshui City.
Lu Yu's first impression of Blue Water City was that the structure of the houses here was somewhat similar to Thoresen's, and some of the houses were exactly the same in shape as the tree houses that elves like to build.
This should also be Vanessa's masterpiece. The mushrooms in Blue Water have used the knowledge she provided to this day.
Seeing Ye Shui returning with outsiders, many people in the huge mushroom castle in Blue Water City came to watch.
Before Ye Shui could make an introduction, a mushroom man announced loudly.
"The Orc city-state on the south side of Serel began to migrate their families in an orderly manner. All the fruits of the summer harvest were picked, the unripe grain in the fields was burned, and a large number of wild beasts were hunted by them along the way."
Ye Shui's words were stuck, and she had to turn around and said to the messenger who rushed back to report the news: "There's more, please tell me more fully."
"According to observations, they brought all the books and scrolls they could carry. As for those that could not be carried, they seemed to have been secretly stored."
"All the traffic arteries they passed through were destroyed by them."
"According to the speed, they should have entered the Demon Fox Territory in the south of Chong Rong. When I came back, the Demon Fox Territory did not express its position on Chong Rong's migration."
Lulutis said in the chat room: "Orcs should be what we call demi-humans."
"I guess, Ye Shui seemed to have called Sigrid this way before. Different places have different names. It's normal." Lu Yu replied.
"Then this is really interesting. I know a little bit about the demon fox race. They have human bodies, but they retain some of the physical characteristics of foxes. Strictly speaking, they are half-orcs."
"But in fact, they hate others calling them half-orcs. Unlike the cat-eared tribe and the tauren, who adopt the names formed by outsiders' first impressions of them, they call themselves devil foxes in the hope that they can be like other half-orcs.
Orcs are distinguished by the broad term "orcs."
"This also leads to the fact that the demon foxes and the orcs are not easy to deal with." Lulutis said with a smile, "If the demon foxes in this area have the same temperament as those on the Mera continent, then they will never allow 'ugliness'
'The orcs entered their territory."
Lu Yu didn't know why he followed the people around him into the meeting hall of the Mushroom Castle.
They walked when others walked, and sat when others sat, highlighting a sense of confusion.
The mushroom man waiter gave each of the mushroom man elders a piece of ice-cold raspberry juice. Although Lu Yu didn't look like a mushroom man at first glance, the waiter still served it to them.
Looking around, there was a circle of mushroom people wearing fancy clothes made of unknown silk fabrics.
Ye Shui is the most simple-looking among the mushrooms. Even when he returned home, he was still wearing a black gauze dress.
How to describe this feeling...
Lu Yu and his group, dressed normally, are like NPCs in game cutscenes, conservative, serious, or at least like human beings.
Vanessa must have never expected that hundreds of years later, the aesthetics of the mushroom people she cultivated would run counter to hers and be full of a return-to-nature beauty.
At first glance, the many gaudy mushrooms in this conference hall look like they have returned to their ancestors and taken root in the soil.
The mushroom man in Blue Water expresses his thoughts by hitting the metal plate on the table with a small wooden hammer, and the order of speaking is determined according to the order of knocking.
During the speech, other mushroom people cannot argue directly with the speaker. They must first raise their hands to apply to Ye Shui, the mushroom clan leader and others, and only after receiving permission can they enter the laning session.
According to Lu Yu's observation, the ten mushroom people around Ye Shui should be the elite group of blue water magicians she once mentioned.
The other group is a bit more muscular, and the mushrooms look very good in taste. They are probably warriors.
Lu Yu looked at it for a long time and couldn't figure out what kind of system Lan Shui adopted. It looked like a chieftain system, but besides the clan leader, the person who had the decision-making power seemed to be Ye Shui, the leader of the magicians, and the leader of the warriors.
However, the mushroom people of Blue Water have reached a consensus on the fact that Selel is about to start a war of huge scale.
Other races close to Serel have sensed the danger and have responded one after another.
Under the influence of Selel's military peak, the orcs chose to abandon their undefended homeland. The dragons gradually woke up from their slumber, the elves began to build fortifications, and the goblins gathered forces.
In the discussion of Blue Water, if Selel sends troops, the first person to be unlucky may be the slime.
As for the only slime gathering place in Mostana, no highly intelligent slimes were born. They simply relied on their numbers to occupy a habitat.
Unfortunately, this habitat is right on the edge of Serel territory.
"Poor slime." Lulutis sighed.
In this discussion of how Blue Water should respond to the upcoming war, Ye Shui said nothing.
But her attitude has been reflected in the shelter on the edge of the wetland.
The rich Mostana is what Selel longs for. Selel will not touch the barren, wild, and unprofitable Great Wetland at all, not to mention that marching into the Great Wetland is basically tantamount to seeking death.
The harsh environment and climate are enough to swallow up an army of hundreds of thousands.
If supplies cannot keep up, no matter how strong the army is, it will collapse.
Blue Water does not want to fight against Selel, which is not a wise choice for Blue Water City with a total population of only about 300,000.
In particular, the current will of resistance in Mostana does not seem to be very strong.
According to the information revealed at the meeting, after the Dragon Clan awakened, they still had no determination to contact the Goblin Alliance forces that had come into contact with Selel.
Although the elves built a bunch of fortifications, they turned a blind eye to the butterfly tribe's request to jointly occupy the enemy.
The Demon Fox and several orc races are still at odds with each other, and it seems that they have no intention of putting aside their disputes and dealing with Selel first.
A plate of loose sand.
Lulutis felt that this was a classic scene when the continent of Mela faced the infesting spirit six hundred years ago. The major powers sat on the sidelines and watched, feeling that the fire could not burn them.
Some countries still have the idea of adding insult to injury, waiting for a country to be beaten to death by the spirit of infection, so that they can profit from it.
As a result, these countries became history one after another.
The infested spirit doesn't care what little ones you have. Wherever it goes, people's minds are corrupted, monsters turn into mindless puppets, and countless deformed lives are born in the land of subjugated countries.
It is like a battering ram, smashing all those corrupt and ignorant countries into powder.
A bunch of big countries in the Mera continent that had lasted for hundreds of thousands of years were all destroyed in this catastrophe. Solon, Sligo, the Theocracy and other countries that were born on their ruins reorganized the regional order and started a new one.
era.
Countless scholars who have written history will make an assumption in the content about the Conquest of the Infested Spirit.
If all the major powers had chosen to unite at the very beginning of the crisis to strangle the spirit of infection in its infancy, denying it so much food and transforming so many deformed lives, would the catastrophe not have spread to the entire continent, to countless people?
The race was implicated, causing great damage to the vitality of the Mela continent?
Lulutis and Sera have the same view, these countries will not unite at all.
Because union means that several countries must break down the original information barriers and share their information.
In this process, in order to win, academic exchanges are also necessary, which directly infringes upon the basic interests of various schools of thought where academic struggles were fierce at that time, and behind these schools are the ruling class...
A dead end.
Only by killing all the cancerous people who hold on to the petty profits in their hands can we have a chance to break the situation.
In fact, this is also the case. After several big countries were destroyed one after another, the heroes known as the Six Pillars of the Solon Empire took up the banner of counterattack in the almost-fallen country, and finally began the various races to join forces to fight against the invaders.
The history of the dyed spirit.
Six hundred years have passed by in a flash, history has gone full circle, and the scene in Mostana seems to be happening again.
Each race has its own plan. Although they all had premonitions and responses before the crisis occurred, they still harbor illusions.
The blue water cultivated by Vanessa was quite bloody. During the discussion, what Lu Yu heard the most was that no matter whether he wanted to return to the Great Wetland or not, Selel had to bleed some blood first.
"If we retreat like this, what's the difference from when we were beaten by lizardmen to the residence of the Mother Goddess? Survival is survival, struggle is resistance, and we just run away without doing anything, Mother Goddess will laugh at us!"
After more than a hundred years of cultivation and recuperation, Seler has digested the annexed land, and with the support of strong financial resources, there are one million Seler soldiers available for external propaganda.
This number was the biggest one Lu Yu heard after coming to this world and witnessing several regional "wars".
Compared with Selel's figure, the internal struggles in Yas, the confrontation with the Goblins, and the twenty-year grudge match between the Grand Empire and Thoresen are all just on the scale of a village fight.
Although Lu Yu knew that generally speaking, the military strength for external propaganda was very high, and it was common for ordinary people with logistics and no combat capabilities to be included.
But I don’t know if there are other sources of troops in Serel, such as mercenaries that can be bought with money.
The number of well-trained soldiers that Blue Water has a population of 300,000 can be estimated at 30,000.
To put it bluntly, if people like this are spread out to the front line, there will be no trace at all.
Moreover, Ye Shui also said on the way back that although Selel's highest level of combat power was level six, there were so many people at level six that he couldn't stand it.
Blue Water currently only has Level 6 Night Water.
Therefore, although the people who decided to have a chance encounter with Serel first spoke very powerfully and impassionedly, the main tone of this meeting was still not "fight", but under what circumstances, start the migration of the whole family.
Although Ye Shui also feels that Lan Shui's decision is a bit aggrieved and useless, she can really understand what most people think.
Under the huge gap in strength, how can the many races that are not united contend with the menacing tide?
Especially the Dragon Clan, which is powerful individually, and has many elves with sixth-level magicians, all stood aside.
The race that is closest to Selel and has the most strength to touch it all has this attitude. Is it possible that Blue Water, the race located in the far south, will fight to the death with the powerful Selel after they all fell?
When the impromptu meeting ended, Lu Yu could see the expressions of the mushroom men who were leading the battle. On the one hand, they wanted to convince themselves that returning to the Great Wetland was the right choice for the entire race, but on the other hand, they couldn't bear to be seduced by Selel.
It's insulting, and you can't do anything about it.
Angry, they walked out of the mushroom castle and yelled to vent their anger.
Ye Shui led the clan leader and other blue water elites to Lu Yu and introduced him one by one.
After hearing what happened to Lu Yu in the Great Wetland, all the mushrooms gave Lu Yu a hug and wanted to kiss him using Vanessa's classic etiquette.
Fortunately, Ye Shui, who knew Lu Yu was embarrassed, quickly resolved the situation, otherwise Lu Yu would have had to wipe off a layer of skin on his face with a towel tonight.
The leader of the Lanshui clan immediately arranged a place to stay for Lu Yu, and indicated that Lu Yu could move around as he pleased in the Blue Water before the translator arrived.
"It's a pity that we are here in Blue Water at this time. As Ye Shui said, you should leave as soon as possible. Once the war starts, Mostana will be in chaos and it will be difficult to leave here."
"You are a distinguished guest who arrived at the Great Wetland under the guidance of Mother Goddess Vanessa. Blue Water welcomes you at any time. I hope our next meeting can be in a more stable environment."
"Report!"
The patriarch's words were suddenly interrupted.
The messenger who suddenly entered the castle stunned the patriarch with a slightly sullen look on his face. He asked anxiously: "What news is there?"
"Not long ago, the demon fox accepted the heavy-velvet orc."
"The dragon envoy visited the elves."
"There are goblins appearing near Chongrong's territory. We don't know why they went there yet."
