Chapter 220: Man is not as good as heaven

Bi Lige has made thousands of calculations, but there is only one omission in his calculations, and that is the hearts of the people.

He didn't expect the Blackclaw Chief to hate betrayal so much, so hated that he would punish the traitor even if he gave up everything.

As for whether there are other calculations in it, it is unknown.

In the end, although the Evil Wolf Tribe was annexed by the Silver Wolf Tribe, some of the warriors survived.

The gray wolf tribe was uprooted, and there was no scum left of the entire tribe that was swallowed.

All the men above the rut were beheaded, and the women and children were divided among the warriors of the Silver Wolf Tribe, and it would not be long before they were assimilated.

The smell of blood exuded in it is self-evident, but this is the survival rule of the Odin orcs, and if the Silver Wolf Tribe is defeated, this fate awaits them.

The Evil Wolf Tribe is slightly better, and a small number of well-behaved Odin orc warriors have been co-opted by the Silver Wolf Tribe.

Wherever there is war, it will not be unharmed.

After all, it is an indisputable fact that the Silver Wolf Tribe has a numerical disadvantage, and the previous melee between the evil wolf and the gray wolf still caused a lot of losses to the Silver Wolf Tribe.

Rakesh must find a way to replenish his strength as soon as possible.

The Eternal Night Army was worried that the Silver Wolf Tribe would turn their faces and refuse to admit it afterwards, and kept showing off their strength.

The Silver Wolf Tribe was also worried that if their strength was compromised too much, the Eternal Night Army would stab them in the back and eat them.

The alliance of interests has always been wary of cooperation, and those naïve guys have long become the food for cunning people to strengthen themselves.

Whether it is the Eternal Night Group Army or the Silver Wolf Tribe, they are not willing to make extraneous branches, and they are all happy when they eat their own part.

The Silver Wolf Tribe doesn't care.

The post-war inventory of the Eternal Night Army's side.

There are more than 5,000 high-quality war horses, more than 13,000 pack horses, more than 2,000 dairy cows, more than 7,000 cattle and more than 300,000 sheep.

Needless to say, all kinds of war horses, cattle and sheep, variegated leather armor, broken bows and arrows killed in battle, for both sides, these are all tie-ins.

Of course, this is the result of the exchange with the Silver Wolf Tribe, and the number is not as simple as thirty percent, if you count it from the volume alone, it has reached more than half of the total loot.

In addition to the war horses and cows, Erickson fought hard and did not give an inch, whether it was pack horses, cattle herding, or sheep, they were all picked by the silver wolf tribe first.

The Silver Wolf Tribe is about to move west to catch up, so naturally they need those cattle and sheep that are good in winter to facilitate the journey, if they starve to death or die of disease in the middle of the road, it will be worthless.

The price to be paid is to make quantitative concessions.

The Eternal Night Army has no worries about this, and the recovering Kogel grassland is their best pasture for most of the next half year.

If the Eternal Night Army wants to permanently entrench itself in the Kogel steppe, it will inevitably be hated and attacked by the East Odin Empire.

But after a short period of entrenchment, there was no problem, and in terms of the communication conditions and the reaction speed of the East Odin Empire in these years, there were no three or two years, and it could not be responded at all.

And the Eternal Night Army does not have the concept of destroying winter pastures like the Odin orcs, they mainly want to use this foreign wealth to survive this year's food crisis, and the focus of development is still in the Andes Mountains and the ancient river of Jacob.

As for which Odin orc tribe stupidly crashes into the Koggle steppe next year, it doesn't matter what happens to the Eternal Night Army.

At least the Silver Wolf Tribe will definitely not come to the Kogel Grassland for the winter next year.

Every race has outliers, and Rakesh is undoubtedly an outlier among the Orcs of Odin, and perhaps smart people have the same path, even if they know that the Eternal Night Army will invade the grasslands of the East Odin Empire in disguise.

This is something that the royal court of the East Odin Empire should worry about, his family has a small business, and digesting the spoils obtained this time is the right thing.

The strategic policy of the Eternal Night Army, not only in the northern fortresses, was thoroughly implemented.

Whether it is organizing the rat and rabbit extermination campaign of the territorial people, or the fishing in the Andes inland lake, it has achieved unprecedented success.

It was an incomparably wise decision to organize those half-sized children, and the enthusiasm and combat effectiveness of these energetic fellows in this aspect were not inferior to those of adults.

In the middle and late stages, those Eternal Night Lords who were not assigned tasks also took the initiative to take action, and the mountains were full of rags and rats and rabbits.

Not only did the crisis propaganda of the Eternal Night Army work, but it was also those who tasted the sweetness.

The vole hares that their own half-sized children brought back every day made their mouths full of oil, saving nearly one-third of their food rations.

They are all shrewd people, and when they see the needles and set their own traps, won't they save more food when the time comes?

That's what they did in the past, but after they had their own land, they were a little lax, and now they are just going back to their old business.

A bumper harvest is inevitable.

Compared to the huge Andes Inland Lake, the hundreds of thousands of Andes mountain people who used to live around him have absorbed only a drop in the bucket from it.

In the words of more scientific and technological content, the water of Andes Inland Lake comes from the Andes crater in all directions, which is rich in minerals and microorganisms, and naturally nurtures more aquatic organisms.

Scooping fish with a roe deer with a stick, and the pheasant flying into the rice pot is very appropriate.

In fact, it's the Andes Mountains that are the most nurturing place.

The relatively fertile products have made the people here a little unenterprising, not only so that the way of fishing and hunting has not changed for hundreds of years, but also that Sishui City, as the largest force among the Andes mountain people, stubbornly defended its own territory, ignoring the mountain people in the west mountains, and letting them live in dire straits.

If it weren't for the sudden rise of the Eternal Night Army, I'm afraid this state of affairs would have continued.

The Eternal Night Army changed its fishing methods slightly, and it reaped a bumper harvest, not only solving most of the food sources for the surrounding soldiers and civilians, but also transporting a large amount of dry fish to other areas of the Eternal Night Army, contributing to surviving the food crisis, not under the northern fortress.

Under a series of combined punches of the Eternal Night Group Army, the crisis that was close at hand was easily over, not to mention, there was still some property left.

But people are not as good as heaven.

This year's Jacobs Military State did not continue the weather of previous years, from the beginning of winter, the rainfall was relatively reduced, and after the beginning of spring, there were several months of drought, and occasionally two rains, even the ground was not soaked.

The cultivation of spring wheat in the army of the Eternal Night was seriously affected.

Fortunately, the Eternal Night Army was not those unresponsive lords and nobles, and they made corresponding filings as soon as this abnormal weather appeared.

Irrigation facilities such as waterwheels, which were built in advance from the very beginning, began to play a role, and nearly one-third of the cultivated land was effectively irrigated, with a relatively small impact.

The remaining two-thirds that could not be irrigated were planted with soybeans, sweet potatoes and other drought-resistant crops, and although the yield was reduced to a certain extent, it was basically within the controllable range.

In the coming year, the food of the Eternal Night Army will still be in a tight state.

However, compared to the Manyu military leader, their situation is much, much better.

In that year, the Manyu army led a major drought, the rivers were cut off, the red land was thousands of miles, and there was no harvest.

Drought and locusts.

The overwhelming locusts, like a yellow tornado, devoured all the green things that the Manyu army could eat.

Part of it went east, up the Jacob's ancient river, towards the Andes Mountains.

The Eternal Night Army mobilized from top to bottom, trying to wipe out the locust plague before it could cause damage.

It is worth mentioning that the anesthetic diluted into water works wonders on them, and after being sprayed, it is difficult to fly again.

This is not the result of the research department of the Eternal Night Army, but the crystallization of the wisdom of the general public.

In fact, since last year, some people have used diluted anesthetics as insecticides, and this year, after the research and deployment of relevant departments of the Yongye Group Army, they have been officially mass-produced and used.

Thanks to the establishment of the Eternal Night Army, the fine habit of poultry breeding and insect control was vigorously promoted, and although there was a certain degree of insect infestation in the Jacob Military State itself, it was suppressed before it was formed, and did not cause devastating damage.

The locusts moved westward like a yellow army rushing into the plains of Asia Minor.

Wherever they passed, not a single inch of grass was left.

The second crop in the plains of Asia Minor was severely damaged, and the grain harvest was in large areas, and in a few areas of the more serious situation, there were even bankrupt and displaced people.

The richness of the plains of Asia Minor is only relative.

The entire social structure of the Byron Union is that 99 percent of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of one percent, and even if the land is abundant, it has little to do with the people at the bottom.

In the face of this catastrophe, Princess Regent Sophia has shown her might in the new policies implemented in her fiefdom.

New municipal officials who need to be paid and judged by their performance are much more concerned about their territory than most lords and nobles - whether it is rescue in the event of a disaster or disaster relief after a disaster.

The stability of the people is naturally the highest.

However, after receiving the news, the regent Princess Sophilia still left the royal capital Valesta as soon as possible and returned to her territory, this time the Iron Rose Knights accompanied by an unprecedented scale, more than a thousand people.

Don't think it's less, there are more than 1,000 people, each of whom is a regular knight who has been trained for ten years and has been carefully selected for a long time.

Although the Iron Rose Knights claim to be only 3,000, only the regent Princess Sophia herself knows how many soldiers can be gathered if the truly combatable soldiers are multiplied by five to ten on this basis.

There are only fifteen hundred members of the Iron Rose Knights resident in Valesta, and the remaining half have long been dormant in the personal domain of the princess regent, and no one knows how many servants these knights have trained in their estates.

The reason for this phenomenon is not that the regent princess Sophia has any special hobby for elite routes, but that she is limited by her own identity and can only legally have so many noble private soldiers.

The law of the kingdom is often a decoration for the lords and nobles.

Princess Regent Sophielia has done enough superficial work to be regarded as quite respectful of the laws of the kingdom.

As the nominal supreme decision-maker of the Alliance, Princess Regent Sophielia's every move touches the hearts of countless people, let alone such a large-scale deployment of troops.

Nominally, because of a locust plague in the territory, troops were needed to maintain law and order.

But everyone who knows something about the situation knows it, and their eyes are on the Manyu military leader.

Affected by this deadly natural disaster, the chaos of the Manyu army is about to come to an end, and the Lancelot royal family is sending troops in this direction at such a time, and it is a fool to believe that it has nothing to do with Viscount Philip, whom they support.

However, most of the Grand Duke families are in a state of watching the excitement.

After all, the Manyu military territory is geographically remote, located in the easternmost part of the Byron Alliance, and most of the families are too far away from here, and they have little communication, and their concern for this place is limited to how much benefit other families have received from it, and whether it will pose a threat to themselves.

Bordering the Manyo military domain were the Strachsy family of the Broken Pulse Steppe, the royal family of Lancelot, the masters of the plains of Asia Minor, and the Kingsley family of the Carthusian Hills.

Among them, the Straitch family of the Broken Vein Prairie, although they have always worn the same pants as the Lancelot royal family, but limited by the family oath and the threat of the Odin orcs, their style has always been relatively detached, unless it is something involving the Odin orcs, or a direct threat to the dominance of the Lancelot royal family, they rarely stand up, let alone take the initiative to use troops internally.

After all, the Stritch family also needed to enlist financial and human support from other ducal families.

The Kingsley family of the Carthusian military leader is known as the bucks running on the gold coins, and as the richest family, they are now more afraid of the chaos of the Manyu military leader rushing into their home, and their greed for the Manyu military leader is not so strong.

The main reason is that the Manyu military leader is too barren, and now there is no population, no special products, no arable land, not only can not get the slightest benefit from getting involved, but it will cause a commotion.

If the Manyu army is as fertile as the plains of Asia Minor, no, even if it is only half.

The Kingsley family had already started jumping up and down, how could they be so peaceful as they were now.

On the contrary, the Lancelot royal family, the Holy See of St. Aether, and the Witches' Secret Society are very interested here.

The Lancelot royal family is for influence and discourse, if it can control the Manyu military territory, plus the Strachey family, which originally supported the royal family, its power balance within the Byron Alliance is three to five, and it has an absolute advantage, because the other five are scattered, each with its own calculations, including the South Island and the North Island of the Twin Peninsula, which are both under the control of the Witch Society.

The Holy Aether Holy See is almost the same, it is said to spread the faith, in the final analysis, it is more for secular rights and the right to speak, in recent years, under the high-pressure policy of the regent Princess Sophia, the life of the Holy Aether Holy See is a little sad, but there is no way to start a war with it in the Asian Minor Plain region where the two forces are intertwined, and has been trying to find a breakthrough from other directions, and the Manyu military leader is this breakthrough, and now he is holding on to this and refusing to let go.

The Witch Society has been operating here for many years, and has always wanted to follow the old path of the Twin Peninsula and secretly infiltrate and control it, but the slave rebel army that has risen up has shattered all this.

Compared to the Holy Aether Holy See, force has never been their forte, and the Manyurd Territory is an enclave, too far away from the Twin Peninsula, the core of the Witches' Secret Order, and the witches' most powerful naval fleet is not strong.

Angel Bena, whom she supports, has always maintained a low profile and neutrality, using the name of the Knights Hospitaller to constantly brush up on favorability and earn fame.

However, due to congenital conditions, the chances of Angel Bena obtaining inheritance rights are too low.
