Chapter 445: The Wasteland War Begins -1
As a raider of the wasteland who survives by robbing.
The Gnoll has developed a unique set of hunting experiences.
That is the three-light policy of "not killing, not robbing, and not destroying light".
If they don't kill all their prey, they will be able to continue to reproduce and breed more prey;
If they don't rob their prey of their survival resources, they can continue to accumulate resources and provide them with a steady stream of looting materials;
If the gathering places and tribes of prey are not destroyed, the prey groups that will not be forced to give up breeding and migrate to other places, and can be kept in captivity for regular harvesting;
This is the main reason why the Gnolls are able to breed millions of people throughout the Ash Wasteland.
The size of the gangs of the gnolls is generally not large, and most of them do not exceed a thousand people.
The gang of thousands of gnolls gathered together is already a very large force among the gnolls.
Each gnoll raiding group has its own "hunting ground" territory, once the number of gang members is too large, the "hunting ground" breeding biological population, not enough to supply the gang's needs, they will take the initiative to divide the group to reduce the pressure on the environment.
However, although the ash wasteland is vast, the barren natural resources can support a limited number of biological groups, which also limits the size of the hunting grounds and territory of the Sand Jackals.
To a certain extent, the territorial struggle between the Gangs of the Sand Jackals restricts the population explosion of the Sand Jackal group and protects the stability of the food chain, which is a peculiar natural adaptation and self-restraint.
Moreover, the predators in the Ash Wastes are not just the Sand Jackals.
They have to compete not only with their own gangs, but also with other predator races.
When there are no foreign enemies, the Sand Jackals can fight to the death with their own kind, or even cannibalism.
However, when there is a foreign enemy that threatens the existence of the race, they can unite to defend against the foreign enemy, and suppress the number of other predators in disguise.
It can be said that the existence of the Sand Jackal is not only a scavenger in the wasteland, but also an environmental protector in the wasteland, so that the number of a certain biological group will not increase dramatically and threaten the fragile natural environment of the Havoc Plane.
The emergence of Ember City, and the birth of the Ember Alliance, brought together the subhuman race of the wasteland.
This greatly threatens the survival of the Sand Jackals and other wasteland predators, so the Sand Jackals gang is forced to put aside the territorial dispute and work together against this new human force.
After discovering that it was no longer possible to stop the growth of Ember City on its own, this joint behavior even expanded to other predator races, raising the suspicion that this was the self-protective effect of the natural consciousness instincts remaining in the Havoc Plane.
In fact, the demand for survival resources of the Sand Jackals, who drink blood, is lower than that of subhuman groups such as the Sand Barbarians, Gobi Dwarves, Desert Halflings, and Desert Gnomes.
They can rely on the flesh and blood of their prey to replenish their needs for nutrients and the source of life.
In fact, devouring each other is originally a self-adaptation of the biological system of the Havoc Plane to the decay of the natural environment.
At the very least, Bai Yuqi didn't find that any ethnic group had the habit of using fire and eating cooked food.
Even the sand barbarian spirits, after catching their prey, will draw the blood of the other party to replenish the nutrients and water they need for survival.
The carcass of prey is dismembered, cut into small, edible pieces, and roasted into hard jerky under the scorching rocks and the blazing dark sun, as a daily food reserve.
Although whether it is directly sipping the blood of other creatures or eating roasted jerky, it will cause the fire poison in their bodies to increase, this eating habit of drinking water to quench their thirst is the only way they can ensure their survival.
This is also the reason why all kinds of wasteland creatures are extremely hungry for the "source of life", a rare resource that can dissolve fire poison.
After Bai Yuqi gathered the wasteland subhuman race, he built the ash city like an iron pass, and the sand jackals, who had nowhere to start with the rat and turtle, finally chose to unite with other wasteland predators to form a larger humanoid cluster.
Perhaps this alliance is not active, but the other predator races, like the Sand Jackals, are forced to regard Ember City as the primary threat, and the predators who usually don't get along with each other and even kill each other as natural allies.
There was no need to have a meeting like the subhuman race when they joined the Ash Alliance, and the major predator groups didn't need to communicate with each other at all, so they gathered together and launched an attack on Ash City.
The cunning sand jackals are like following the hunting lions, intending to pick up cheap hyenas****** cunning and cunning waiting for the iron-headed babies who are more reckless than them, sending a wave of heads first, and then they will follow behind to pick up the cheap.
The first to come up were the gravel barbarians who were more anal than the Sand Jackals.
This primitive race, which appears to have a human form, is mixed with some of the animal genes.
At first glance, it looks like a strong and tall human, but with fangs, claws, and heavy body hair, it looks like a half-human, half-beast.
They used more primitive wooden sticks and rough stones as weapons, and they didn't even bother to test it, and after approaching Ember City, they directly roared at the patrolling Asian coalition army, and the most tragic bloody battle broke out as soon as they made contact.
After forming the Ash Legion directly under the Ash Alliance in Ash City.
Bai Yuqi placed the Regeneration Heroic Spirit Legion as a core officer, leading the soldiers of all ethnic groups to conduct assault-style high-intensity military training.
Combined with their racial fighting skills and characteristics, various tactics in line with the environment of the Ash Wasteland were formulated, and they were allowed to continuously conduct actual combat exercises during the training process.
The Inhuman Alliance in the Ashen Wasteland has also had the experience of joining forces against the Humanoid Alliance in the past, but they have only gathered together to fight together, and in fact they are still under the command of their respective leaders.
Not only is the scale not as large as the Ash Legion, but there are also no tactics such as troop coordination, infantry and cavalry coordination, and tanbu cooperation.
Shaman's spirit is agile, his actions are like the wind, and he is the main attacker;
The Gobi dwarf is infinitely large, steady and solid, and the main defense;
Desert halflings are small in stature but sensitive and dexterous, and are good at reconnaissance, sneak attacks, and assassinations;
The desert gnomes are good at manipulating equipment, and are mainly responsible for long-range attacks, fire cover, fortification construction, and trap arrangement;
So in fact, before the humanoid alliance approached, it had already been discovered and monitored by halfling scouts riding spore scout eagles, and the dwarfs had laid a net-like "minefield" on the trajectory of the other party to meet each other.
