Chapter 338: Hidden Dangers Discovered
Sensing that the atmosphere of the room had fallen into embarrassment and solemnity, Semiramis once again picked up the teacup in front of his forehead and shook it gently. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Alice, you shouldn't have seen those refugees when you came back, did you?"
"Refugees?
Alice asked rhetorically, and the girl took off her shoes and curled up on the sofa, like a lazy cat, exuding a lazy smell all over her body, and her pink almost transparent little nails exuded a luster like transparent water under the light of the fire.
"Shortly after you left, a detachment of centaurs broke through the blockade of Attila and came to Karelia and Finland. ”
"What, isn't this the method that Sigourney gave to Beowulf in the first place? But this method should not be effective, Attila is not a person who cares about one or the other, no matter what happens in the back, she will only focus on the enemy in front of her. ”
Although Beowulf had previously carried out only partial destruction in Finland and Karelia, it also proved that Attila did not care about the rear.
Alice interrupted Semiramis noncommittally.
"That's right, Alice, no matter how much damage those centaurs have caused in Finland and Karelia, Attila has not sent a single soldier back to support, and the remaining three-legged cats are no match for the centaurs at all. ”
"In that case, there must be a legend among the centaurs, and by refugees, I mean the homeless ones who have been defeated by them?
Semiramis nodded.
"Yes, Jutland needs a sufficient population to grow, and the arrival of these refugees could reduce our development time by at least three years, and they are now very disappointed in Attila. ”
Alice understands what Semiramis means, and is very disappointed in Attila, so she will be grateful to Jutland for saving them, and then as long as Alice comes forward to appease them and pay a little material, she can easily accept their hearts and faith.
Only by extending a helping hand in despair is the real great kindness.
"No, Semiramis, tell me seriously whether you let people intervene in this matter. ”
Alice said in a light tone, with great seriousness in her words, with her understanding of Semiramis, she would not think that the other party would choose to watch quietly on the side when such a good opportunity, waiting for the opportunity, rather than waiting for the opportunity, Alice believed that Semiramis would take the initiative to create opportunities.
"Are you, do you want our centaurs to disguise themselves as those guys and join in the attack on them? ”
"No, Alice, how could you think that, how could I be such a person?"
With a perfect smile on his face, Semiramis only needed to shake the liquid in the teacup unhurriedly, and the brown-red tea swirled like a whirlpool.
"I'm just acquiescing to the centaur troops, crushing their spontaneously organized army, and it's not surprising that we're enemies in the first place. ”
For the enemy, there is really nothing strange about such an approach...... At least Alice's army did not have any problem with the army subordinate to Attila.
“…… Semiramis, you're adding fuel to the fire, it's completely redundant!"
Alice gritted her teeth, and she sat up, propped herself on the table with her hands, and looked at Semiramis fixedly, with a slight anger in her eyes.
"It's for our Jutland, it's for you, Alice!"
In Semiramis's view, the result is much more important than what has passed, and it is precisely because Jutland's army has eliminated those organized resistance that the opposing centaurs can defeat more tribes and produce more refugees, so that Jutland can gain more.
"But, I don't like it, Semiramis, I don't like that!"
"We can use conspiracy, we can use trickery, we can betray without scruples, but I absolutely can't accept such behavior, and I don't like to use these tricks with all my own people. ”
"Yes, that's right, you can think that I, a butcher with thousands of lives on my hands, is very hypocritical and very false to say these things at this time, but I still have to say that I don't like this. ”
"Only in this respect do I not like to use deception to obtain their false faith! I do not like to play these tricks on my own people when they decide to come to Jutland and accept them. ”
“…………”
"Well, Alice, I was wrong this time. ”
[Still hasn't changed]
"There won't be a next time. ”
[Still favoring one's own people like this]
"I'll make it up to them later. ”
[Nothing has changed at all, it's really good]
With a smile, Semiramis seriously assured that such a thing would not happen a second time, and Semiramis cared more about Alice's attitude than those refugees thought.
Seeing Semiramis admit her mistake neatly, Alice picked up the teacup in front of her and poured a few large sips into her mouth, suppressing the anger in her heart.
"Anything else? ”
"Well, there's something else to look at about the centaurs this time. ”
Semiramis let go of her clenched teacup, and she pulled out a stack of materials from the space items and placed them in front of Alice and Skaha.
"Skaha, you can also take a look, this information may be used in the future. ”
The information is not too thick, only a few pages, and in a few minutes, the two of them knew the content by heart.
"This centaur...... It's a little unusual. ”
Skaha spoke first.
"Knowing when to do something, knowing what to do and what not to do, is this guy really a centaur?"
The centaur race, if divided according to civilization, has only just escaped ignorance and barbarism and stepped into the civilized world, although it is a little better than the gnolls, but it is also only a limited good.
"It should be said that in the centaur, there are still such people who can take care of the overall situation. ”
"Skaha, don't be surprised...... No matter which race it is, there will be such outstanding characters, maybe they are limited by their race and vision to reach our height, but they must not be underestimated. ”
Alice looked at the information in front of her, but her mind flew to the previous battlefield where Beowulf and the war were killed, and she thought of Hogg, who led a group of gnolls and defeated the berserkers dozens of times more powerful than her own on the frontal battlefield.
"Skaha, when you are on the battlefield, there is only a distinction between enemies and companions, and you should not be paralyzed just because your opponent is not human. ”
"Alice, I know, you don't have to worry too much about this one, I'm a fighter, I naturally understand these things, don't think of me as one of those idiots whose heads are full of muscles and alcohol. ”
Skaha glared at Alice dissatisfied, but the thought in his heart was completely opposite, as if he had drunk sweet and greasy honey water, and his whole body became warm.
"This centaur, if we have the chance, we still have to meet it. ”
"After we annihilated so many of our subordinates, and blamed them for all those things, we can be indifferent, we can calmly command the troops, bypass us, and continue to target those recalcitrant tribes, in this respect, we owe the other party's favor. ”
"With such a mentality and such a big picture, if he doesn't die this time, then the centaur race may really be able to usher in a peak. ”
Alice made such judgments and guesses.
"Then or not, leave him in Karelia. ”
Semiramis meant to leave his life behind, after all, such an outstanding person, in different camps, would also pose a certain threat to Jutland.
"There's no need, Semiramis, he's just a legend now. ”
"I know you're worried that his rise will affect our centaurs, and that's not unreasonable, but we need to know that if he does rise and really become the Centaur Great Chieftain, he is more likely to be our ally than an enemy. ”
"At least in the long run, Attila will be the main enemy of all of us, her existence is our best chance for development, we have to take advantage of the time when Attila attracts everyone's hatred, accumulate and develop, as long as Attila is not killed for a day, her power is not broken down for a day, then we are safe in Jutland. ”
"We will be the most important allies of Scandinavia, the best friends of the centaurs of Somi, and the overlords of the North Seas will be our friends...... As long as Attila is still around, and as long as the pact of the gods can continue, then this time will be the best time for us to develop in Jutland. ”
Alice gave her judgment of the present situation, and although there were worries and worries, on the whole, the development of the situation in the north was very favorable to Jutland.
"What a best time and really the best place to be. ”
Whether it is to be sold at a price, or to raise bandits for self-respect, the situation will not change in the future for a certain period of time, although Attila's strength is strong, but Somi and Scandinavia are not easy to get along with, plus the entry of elves, dwarves, gnomes, and frost giants, it becomes even more chaotic.
"Then what shall we do next? Shall we continue to expand our territory and seek the islands of Zealand and Funen?"
Semiramis asked.
"No, Semiramis, our population is too small, Jutland and Schleswig still have a lot to explore, and our soldiers are just as numerous as they are to protect all our territory. ”
Alice rejected Semiramis's offer, and Skaha, who was next to her, nodded in agreement.
"We won't be able to acquire new territories for at least three years until we have a sufficient population, and the islands of Funen and Zealand, if I go for them now, it will really do Siegel a great favor. ”
"I don't want that giant empire to be around us so soon......"
Later, the conversation deflected again, and Semiramis told Alice about her plans for Jutland, the port area, underground waterways, and the renovation of the city walls.
"Make up your own mind, Semiramis, you are the mistress of Jutland, and you have the right to build the city. ”
Alice glanced at Skaha next to her and added.
"Of course, Skaha, you can also make your suggestion, after all, you are also one of the hostesses. ”
"Oh, there are so many hostesses in Jutland. ”
Skaha said as usual.
"I don't want to be a hostess, I'm your warrior, and I'll use the gun in my hand to win a victory for you. ”
"And by the way, trample those strong people under your feet, huh......"
Alice couldn't help but complain silently, even if she has not been in contact with Skaha for a long time, but the relationship between the two has grown by leaps and bounds, and now it feels like an old couple who have lived together for decades.
Of course, the same goes for Alice and Semiramis.
"Still, Semiramis, Skaha, I have a problem in mind. ”
"What's the problem?" "What?"
"This time the centaurs attacked the goblins, and our Jutland economy fell so much, so if Jutland entered the war, wouldn't the entire economy fall into a standstill?"
"What does it matter, isn't this a normal phenomenon? Not to mention the economic shutdown, if it is a protracted war, then the cultivation of crops will also be affected, and many cities and countries can only rely on the previous accumulation to carry out wars, if any of them are not enough to support first, then the victory will be handed over to the enemy. ”
Skaha waved her hand nonchalantly, saying that Alice's worries were a fool's concern, and that this has been true for the whole world, and for thousands of years.
"Besides, Alice, don't you still have that thing in the place of trade, no matter how the war is affected, we will have the last way to retreat. ”
"Where the trade is? That's bad news...... Because the plane walls of the main plane continue to thicken, the door of the trading place to the main plane is now temporarily closed. ”
“…………”
"So, we have to plan ahead, we can't always leave these important things to the goblins, those little green people, anyway, are outsiders, they only have a financial interest in us, with their character, as long as the risks outweigh the benefits, they will give up on us. ”
"If commodities cannot be circulated, then Jutland will have no economic income, not even ore, let alone any iron weapons, if it is just relying on those agricultural products that appear, then Weibo's income is only a drop in the bucket for the development of Jutland. ”
It's a drop in the bucket for Jutland, and it's even worse for Alice, because the cost of a legendary lich is huge, and she needs a lot of magic materials to conduct all kinds of research, especially when making potions and carving magic circles, she needs even more materials.
If there is no prosperity brought by business, the worst-case scenario will even affect Alice's strength.
