Chapter 403: Future Strategy
The general direction of the Eternal Night Leader is very simple.
The first is to continue to implement the new force plan in the Swamp of Despair, carrying out the reorganization of the Dawn Group Army while carrying out the comprehensive retreat of the crocodiles.
This is the work of the Military Department and the Executive Yuan, and the two are soft and hard and the two are appropriately coordinated.
The all-out retreat of the crocodile people is not difficult to say, but it is not easy to say.
This difficulty is not caused by the crocodile people.
It's the pressure that the Eternal Night Warlords themselves put on themselves, because they not only want to withdraw the crocodiles into their territory and finish the matter, but also want to digest them and make them a boost for their own development.
is really like Sean's previous life, and I haven't really seen a few of them.
The reason why Sean dared to arrogantly nail there in his previous life was not because of their personal ability, but because of the progress of the overall policy and the emphasis on civilized law enforcement.
The Eternal Night Commander is an out-and-out powerful institution that implements military and political rule.
Before the implementation, the communication and negotiation of the people and Yan Yuese had already given enough face.
If you don't appreciate it obediently, and wait for them to take coercive measures, you won't be so easy to talk about.
Those scattered crocodile tribes don't have the courage to be nail households.
His own Council of Elders was dismantled, and the army was also co-opted, and I heard that the clansmen who obeyed the arrangements of the Eternal Night Army Leader were doing well, so why did they have trouble getting along with themselves?
Obey the Eternal Night Commander's orders honestly!
This is the thinking of a small number of smart people.
More people were ignorant, and with the epidemic, they arrived at the Eternal Night Army Commander in a daze, got a new job in a daze, had a new life in a daze, and then went on in a daze.
Countless people have lived their lives in such a daze.
The second is to carry out a comprehensive mapping operation of the Swamp of Despair, draw a big map, and prepare for the future full-scale development.
This is the work of the intelligence department and the mapping department.
There is no trick in this work, and it can only be done little by little by hand.
Fortunately, there is no hurry, the Eternal Night Army is already vast and sparsely populated, and eating the crocodile people has nearly doubled their population, but the territory has also doubled.
People can't become fat in one bite, and the territory can't develop and grow all at once, everything has to be gradual, first develop the existing territory, and then develop new territory is not too late.
As for the bird's-eye view of the map, Sean didn't go out in person this time, because it won't be long before the first batch of air forces led by the Eternal Night Army can be put into use, which is just right for them to practice, and he is ready to shake off this part.
The third is the continuous fermentation of business strategy.
This has become the largest part of the Eternal Night Army's financial revenue, and the proportion has reached a terrifying nine-tenths.
The current lords of the Eternal Night are closely related to this trade strategy, and even if they are not engaged in business, they are working in major factories to provide the most basic products for trade activities.
Sean didn't know that this kind of abnormal development was very dangerous, and once something went wrong, it would have a fatal impact on the development of the territory.
But the profits in it are so huge, and the output from the ground is so insignificant that people can't stop it.
And it is also the basis for the Eternal Night Army to be able to take off at rocket speed, and Sean is reluctant to step on the brakes.
The only thing he could do was to prepare with multiple hands.
First, naturally, it is necessary to continue to strengthen the bond with the regent Princess Sophie.
No matter how safe the rest is, it's better to maintain the current situation, right?
Nothing is more secure than a marriage other than interests.
The two have known each other for so many years, Sean is not moved early or late, but at this time, he is excited, and he is developing rapidly, there is really no interest consideration in it?
Sean and Sophia both know it, but as smart people, they see through it and don't say it.
Sitting in their current position, it is not easy to find a marriage partner who can see the right eye and agree on interests, can you still ask too much?
The second preparation, of course, is to open up new trade routes.
The flower language plateau counts as one.
Although the Bryan family was also a member of the Byronic League, its unique geography gave it military, economic, and political independence.
In other words, the Lancelot royal family has the least influence here.
Even if the Eternal Night Warlord is at odds with the Lancelot royal family, it won't have much impact here.
But it's not the only one.
The other is from the northern fortress and directly into the Odin steppes to trade with the Odin orcs.
The line was opened before the Jacob River reopened.
It's just that there is a problem with this line, that is, in terms of product demand, there is a huge difference between the Odin orcs and the Byron Alliance.
The Eternal Night Warlords are now dumping mainly luxury goods on the Byron Alliance, such as porcelain and silk clothing, including books, which are a sharp weapon prepared for the Warlock Alliance, and it is rumored that it has a great influence there, and once they approve it and spread, it is time for the Eternal Night Warlord to start large-scale dumping.
None of them can be consumed by ordinary lords, followed by honey, finished medicines, nuts, tea and other specialties of the territory of the Eternal Night Army.
On the side of the Odin orcs, the order is directly reversed, the latter is the best-selling products here, especially tea and finished medicine are very marketable, luxury goods are not in demand, but their aristocratic class is generally with their own tribes, distributed from south to north.
Unlike the lords and nobles of the Byron League, they will gather in big cities such as Valesta, the royal capital, and it is difficult to form large-scale sales, and they can only be occasionally entrained in the process of trafficking large quantities of goods, and the comprehensive profit is average.
In addition to the above, the biggest problem is transportation.
On the Jacob River, the merchant ships led by the Eternal Night Army can run a round trip in ten days at the earliest, and the slowest will not exceed two weeks, and the transportation capacity of a big-bellied merchant ship can top a small caravan composed of twenty pack horses.
And on the Odin steppe, it is normal for a merchant to run for two or three months at a time, and some run long distances, it takes a year or two to come and go, and there is no small caravan at all, and the Eternal Night Army leads the caravan out of the jam. Large caravans of thousands of people and tens of thousands of pack horses are often used to herd cattle and trade like nomadic tribes.
This model is naturally formed for the Odin steppe, most of the Odin orc tribes are still in the stage of bartering, most of the payment methods are mainly cattle and sheep, and the merchants have become a huge herding tribe, they do not have so many people to transport back, they can only follow the large army to move together, or simply hire some small tribes to accompany them and help them graze.
Moreover, doing business here is a high-risk thing, and most of those medium and large tribes have wiser leaders, and they will not do such a thing as attacking merchants, which does not mean that those small and medium-sized tribes or horse bandits who are in a difficult period will not do this, and it is necessary to maintain sufficient force.
In the first few years, the Eternal Night led an annual caravan into the Odin steppe, and on average, one out of five caravans was missing.
It is not until the last few years that the reputation has been beaten, and agreements have been reached with some super tribes, and their own systems and experience have been constantly improved, and the safety factor is steadily improving, and the loss ratio has increased from the original five to one to the current fifteen to one.
But such a risk factor is still the highest in the Eternal Night Army, far more than being a soldier and eating military rations.
Naturally, the treatment is also the highest.
Whether it is goods or camel caravans, including the planning of business routes, it is the Eternal Night Army's side that comes out, but the territory side only takes a small part of the commission to maintain the balance of payments, and the rest of the benefits go to those merchants, including those who do not come back alive, their families will be able to get their share.
Therefore, there is a saying in the Eternal Night Army that if you want to get rich, then go to the Odin steppe.
Don't think that no one wants to do it, on the contrary, every time you go to the recruitment site of the Odin Prairie Caravan, it is very hot, and countless people rush to drill into it.
The Eternal Night Commander does have countless jobs, and if they are hardworking enough, they can be fed, clothed, and earned, but this requires hard work and time.
This lifestyle can only satisfy most people, but it cannot satisfy gamblers who are bent on making a lot of money.
Never underestimate people's risk-taking and gambler mentality, they always take it upon themselves to think that they are not the fifteenth.
As long as they run and come back safely, the abundant income is enough for them to get rid of poverty and become rich, and embark on a completely different path, even if they don't do anything, they can enjoy a chic ten years and eight years.
Use it as the principal, do a small business or something, if you can catch the free ride of the military leadership policy, maybe you will reach the peak of your life.
Hold on to the bold and starve to death the cowardly!
This is no different in the Eternal Night Warlord.
Of course, this sentence only applies to the actions supported by the Eternal Night Commander, and if it is illegal, it is because he is dying too slowly.
There is really no way to say this kind of thing, some people have indeed succeeded, and have accumulated the first pot of gold in their lives, and the first batch of small factories and caravans led by the Eternal Night Army were started by this kind of person.
There are also people who have been left in the Odin savannah forever, and they can't even see their bones, and the only thing that can comfort their spirits in the sky is that the Eternal Night Warlord has fulfilled their promise and let their families get their share of his.
The Eternal Night Leaders knew that there was a high risk inside, but they still encouraged it, so naturally they had a reason to do it.
For them, the benefits brought back from the Odin steppes are already secondary, and the most valuable thing is that the information they brought back from the Odin steppes, and the knowledge of this land is no longer a blank.
It is precisely because of their entry and exit that the Eagle Eyes of the Eternal Night Army Leader have infiltrated this land silently.
It is the instinct of every force to infiltrate and understand their neighbors.
Especially when this neighbor is a strong neighbor who is full of aggression, and he is still secretly occupying the back garden of others, he naturally needs to keep an eye on their every move, and do it at any time, and eat the fat sheep that is delivered to the door, and the wind direction is slightly wrong, so he is ready to sneak away.
In terms of commerce, in addition to the above two hands, Sean is also preparing for a third hand - maritime trade.
But this is just an idea, and there is still a lot of work to be done to actually put it into action.
For example, the entire Desperate Swamp will be completely eaten, the port development of the sea area around the Desperate Swamp, the survey of the surrounding sea conditions, and so on.
If you don't solve these problems, you will go to sea rashly, and you will just be sent to death.
The fourth general direction is the problem of the barbarians of Kentana to the east.
The measures taken by the Eternal Night Army before the lead are not the root causes.
The Cliff Clan and other natives, even with the partial assistance of the Eternal Night Lord, could barely hold the Kentana barbarians, but they couldn't completely solve it.
For them, the top leaders of the Eternal Night Army are still a little undecided.
The Eternal Night Leader will not be able to draw troops to deal with them for a while.
Although the threat of the Kingsley family has been eliminated from the Despair Swamp, the hidden danger of the Crane tribe is still there, and if it is not completely solved, the Eternal Night Army Leader will not be able to deploy troops on a large scale.
Whether it is the New Forces plan or the Despair Swamp Border City Takeover, they have taken up a large number of the limited forces of the Eternal Night Commander, and the priority of the plan is higher than that of the Kentana Barbarians.
On the other hand, it would be false to say that the Eternal Night Leader does not covet this super force.
The ferocity of the barbarians in the mountainous Kentana is still fresh in the memory of the Eternal Night Army Leader, and the original army of less than 10,000 directly collapsed the Walled City Alliance, forcing the Eternal Night Army to use all its means.
Not to mention the ferocity, the Kentana barbarians, who are still above them, if they can be co-opted.
Just thinking about it made the excited eyes of those generals glow green.
It's one thing just to co-opt the crocodiles, it's another thing to co-opt the Kentana barbarians.
The word barbarism in the name of the barbarians of Kentana is not blown, this barbarism refers not only to their temperament, but to their traditions, and they follow the barbaric traditions.
The winner is king, and the big fist has the final say.
The Eternal Night Warlord's best means of trade will not only be ineffective for them, but will only fuel their arrogance, and in turn, they will see it as a symbol of weakness, and they will demand more.
If you really want to subdue them, unless you subdue them militarily, there is a glimmer of possibility.
Therefore, all the problems are back to square one, and they still have to be strong enough to succeed.
The Eternal Night Leader can only use the procrastination trick for the time being, and continue to hold them back.
For the time being, this place is temporarily dominated by Dicklon, the super commander, with the old fox of Hebrew, and the two indigenous leaders, Daddy Locke and the man-bear Yale, which will not collapse in a short time.
"It's still comfortable here. Sean took a long breath, and the power of the rich spell rushed to his face, as if his body had lightened by three points out of thin air.
"Chirp!" the black collar echoed the eagle's chirp, agreeing with Sean's statement.
Since the start of the battle in the Swamp of Despair, Sean Swamp of Despair and the royal capital Valesta have flown at both ends, and there is no time to come to the Northern Fortress.
With the large-scale development and application of the energy reactor chamber, the concentration of magic energy in the northern fortress is increasing day by day.
However, the only ones that produce good feelings are Warlocks like Sean and magical beasts like Black Collar.
Living here is definitely a challenge for the average person.
A long time ago, the Eternal Night Warlord designated this area as a restricted area, and only a small number of people were allowed to enter and exit here temporarily.
As time passed, the concentration of spell energy increased, and the entry and exit restrictions were not only not removed, but became more stringent.
A number of non-essential projects and non-essential residents have been evacuated to the surrounding satellite towns.
Those who must live in the Northern Fortress must not only have regular medical check-ups, but also have the maximum number of years of residence.
Once the time is up, no matter what happens to your body, you have to change your position.
During this period, it was forbidden to give birth.
The reason why there is this impersonal rule is also forced to be helpless.
These people are not unaffected by the magic energy, but the changes are small and cannot be reflected, once combined with people, the babies born are not so lucky, and the probability of malformed fetuses is not a matter of multiplication.
Rather, there are a few who can be born alive, and there are a few normal problems.
Just consider that the Andes Giant Eagle eggs in the hatchery have a 25% success rate.
This 25 percent does not refer to its hatching rate, but to their beneficial atavistic mutation rate, whether the atvitous mutation ability is useful or garbage, it is all included.
The remaining 75 percent, not all of them are stillborn, and many of them have successfully hatched, but the appearance is a bit strange, with three wings and one leg, one head and four legs, one wing and five legs, etc., which definitely challenges people's imagination.
As for the eagle-headed lion body and tiger-headed eagle body, they are all classified into benign mutations.
These mutations fail, unless they show special research value, and humanitarian destruction is the best destination for them.
For those beasts and birds of prey, how can the Eternal Night Warlord be ruthless enough to do so, and replace them with living people?
It would be a bit of a madness to do this.
In this situation, the Eternal Night Army Leader finally discovered that it was a step too late, and more than 300 deformed babies were born in the northern fortress one after another.
The only thing the Eternal Night Leader can do is that if their biological parents are willing to raise them, they will be given a support subsidy until they reach adulthood, and if they are unwilling to raise them, they will be taken over by the Eternal Night Commander and sent to a special nursing home to be raised.
The only thing worth the situation is that this effect is not for life, as long as they come to open the Northern Fortress and return to live in a normal environment for a while, the chances of giving birth to a deformed child are not so terrifying.
Even if the Eternal Night Commander did not introduce a relevant policy, those who worked in the northern fortress were very cautious and actively used contraceptive measures.
