Chapter 257: Plans for Expansion

"In that case, Semiramis, do you have any choice?"

"Choice?

"That's what I said, Semiramis, what race are you going to choose as your subordinates in the waters near Jutland to feed Jutland. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

Semiramis groaned for a moment and shook his head.

Although she is the daughter of the fish god, she also has divinity in her body, but she was abandoned by her parents since she was a child, but she lived in the forests around Assyria, and when she began to be sensible, she was adopted by her adoptive father, and then went to the magic academy on the edge plane to meet Alice, from birth to the present, from Ascaron in Ascaronia to Jutland here, Semiramis has never been in contact with anything about the sea, so she doesn't know much about the situation in the sea, and even the races in it are not very familiar.

"Whale people and seal people. ”

Alice gave advice on the sidelines.

"Whale people and seal people?"

Semiramis nodded, she still had a little understanding of the two races that Alice said lived in the ocean, only in books when she was in the academy.

Sealmen are a race that lives in the North Sea of the Baltic Sea, and for physical reasons they can only live in cold waters, usually only two meters tall, feeding on seagrass and fish, shrimp and crabs, and are below the middle layer of the Baltic biosphere.

Weaker sealers are usually attached to other powerful tribes in small families, as they are good at raising seals and grazing fish, and can provide large amounts of food for other carnivorous races.

The whale people are different from the seal people, the whale people are the small group of people at the top of the pyramid in this sea, except for the sea giants, they are the most powerful, in the sea, even the white bear people are not their opponents, and the shark people can only retreat when they see them.

However, because of the difficulty of childbirth, their numbers have always been very scarce, and the way of life is similar to that of the seals, all of which are based on a family structure, usually several families are combined into a small tribe to carry out activities, and because of this, whale people rarely appear in slave stores, and even if they appear, they are occasionally single-digit unlucky eggs, and there will be no such situation as the whole tribe and the whole family.

"It looks like the only way to choose is the sealman. ”

Semiramis glanced at Alice and said, compared to the sparsely staffed and powerful whale people who are difficult to conquer, the weak sealers are a little easier to conquer, easier to manage, and they are also good at raising seals and herding fish, which can just provide a lot of food for Jutland, and more importantly, because of the weak strength, in the slave trading market, it is often possible to find the whole family or even the entire tribe of seals for sale, which allows Semiramis to make a small and large-scale team in a short period of time。

Now the fish-man tribes around Jutland, those who believe in sea monsters have all died because of the last Kraken's venom, and there are no races or tribes in the sea around Jutland, if Semiramis now goes to get a believer and a seal tribe that feeds Alice's forces, there will be no problem, and the trouble of fighting with other tribes is omitted.

"The seals are not bad, although the combat power is a little weaker, but with me and Kraken, there is no need to worry about anything, the overlord of the North Sea is Francis Drake, and the overlord of the Baltic Sea, if you really want to talk about it, now the overlord of the Baltic Sea is me, so whether it is the North Sea in the west of Jutland or the Baltic Sea in the east, there is no need to worry about those tribes looking for trouble with us. ”

In the case of Kraken and Alice, Semiramis does not have to worry about the safety of the sealers, worried that there will be other races in the sea to attack and violate, not to mention Alice, let's just say that the Kraken, in the sea he is the overlord of the overlords, if it were not for the joint efforts of Semiramis and Alice, Semiramis would not be able to tame the other party with the strength of one person, to make the other party willingly sign.

"But speaking of the Kraken, what happened to him? He won the battle with the sea monster in the end, right?"

"Ah, yes, he won in the end. ”

Speaking of Kraken, Semiramis's face couldn't help but feel a chill, Semiramis who woke up from a coma quickly understood what happened after she fell into a coma, unlike the simple scorpion-tailed dragon, Semiramis judged Kraken's original idea at a glance, even if a better result was finally achieved, he also successfully killed the sea monster at the cost of serious injuries in the deep sea, but Semiramis would never forgive Kraken so easily, forgive its betrayal.

"Well, now it's fine in the ocean, Alice, you don't need to worry too much about that, just leave it to me. ”

At this moment, Kraken is enduring extremely painful things in the deep sea, and the body that has been severely injured because of the battle has no chance to recover, and five or six divine fish summoned by Semiramis are constantly gnawing at its body, and the tentacles that have just grown out are bitten off by sharp teeth in the next second, and then they are eaten in Kraken's gaze...... Although Semiramis was not willing to kill this betrayed beast because of his combat effectiveness, the necessary punishment was also essential.

"In that case, there's no need to worry too much about anything. ”

Alice glanced at the people who were still immersed in the joy, and she magically parted the crowd without a trace, and came to another table, on which were placed all kinds of desserts and fish soups, because winter had just passed, there were no fruits and vegetables at the banquet, and there was a little less greenery.

Gently taking a small mouthful of pudding into her mouth with a spoon, Alice said in a muffled voice to Semiramis next to her.

"Jutland's governance will still depend on you in the future, Semiramis, but just like I just said, your own strength cannot be left behind, after all, the essence of this world is still the law of the jungle, and now the gods cannot interfere or take it lightly, after all, they are gods, and there is always a way to find a way to circumvent the contract and find loopholes in the contract. ”

"I understand this, and in a few days I will go to retreat to absorb that trace of divinity, and sprint to become a legend. ”

Semiramis also picked up a piece of milk from the table and tasted it, and next to her, the purple-haired girl was already immersed in a sea of sweets, and kept stuffing candy pudding and other foods into her mouth, so full that she couldn't even speak.

"But while I'm in retreat, Alice, there's something you need to deal with. ”

"You don't have to worry too much about what I need to deal with, you don't have to worry too much about food, at least until our ocean plan can be implemented, and you don't have to worry about seals, I'll buy you back a tribe of at least fifty people in the land of trade. ”

Alice bit down on the iron spoon and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"I'm not worried about those problems, and I believe that you can solve those things yourself. ”

"I want to say, shouldn't you think about the defense of Jutland, don't you think that the defense of the city is too rudimentary now? It's not just the defense, when you built it, you didn't even separate the residential area from the agricultural area, you didn't build underground waterways, you didn't build any water conservancy facilities in the agricultural area. ”

"What's this, isn't there magic? When you need rain, you can just use magic to summon it, where do you need any trouble, as for the agricultural area and the residential area, haven't you already divided it for me?"

"yes, but I've only solved part of it!"

Semiramis saw the essence of the other party at a glance, and said a thousand times and ten thousand times, or because Alice was too lazy and too addicted to magic.

"Are you going to go out and draw rain every time there is a drought, and are you going to go out and disperse the clouds every time it rains?"

Alice smiled awkwardly at Semiramis's questioning, lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything more, as if she was a child who had done something wrong and was reprimanded by her parents, and didn't dare to speak.

…… Next to him, Qi'er is still immersed in the paradise of sweets, and he has no heart to save his embarrassed sister who is dying.

"Well, if nothing else, what about defenses? Jutland has no defenses other than those gargoyles? What about the walls, the moats?

"Where do you need those things, wouldn't it be nice to have me?"

Alice muttered, but her voice grew smaller and smaller under Semiramis's stern gaze.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What if you're not there, what about when you're away?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Okay, okay, I see, when you go to retreat, I'll get the walls and moats in order, don't worry, sister. ”

Alice stepped forward and grabbed Semiramis's hand, a flattering smile on her rare face.

"Also, Alice, you need to think about expansion as well, the problem of population can be solved by buying slaves, but the problem of territory ...... If it is to be developed, the land of Jutland is still too small. ”

Semiramis looked at Alice's appearance and sighed helplessly, and his stern tone softened unconsciously.

"This ...... I thought about it at the beginning. ”

Alice looked around and felt that this place was not a good place for these things, and she took Semiramis back to the dining room where they had dinner earlier, because Qil was still a child, Alice didn't bring her in, and let her continue to enjoy the delicious sweets.

Using magic, a map was projected on the wall, blue for the ocean, and the other colors for the land, the map was not very large, only depicting the area around Jutland, as far east as Finland, north as Scandinavia, and west as the westernmost of the Celtic islands, Ireland, with a variety of colors and symbols to indicate the power and religious status above...... In this era, only a legend like Alice could create a map with such a trap.

"This is Jutland, where we are now. ”

Alice reached out and tapped at the center of the map, the one that protruded from the middle of the continent and almost separated the North Sea and the Baltic Sea in half, turning the Baltic Sea into an inland sea.

"Scandinavia to the north, Funen to the east, and the Celtic islands to the west, but because there is a North Sea in between, it takes a week to get there by boat. ”

"What about the south, what's the place to the south?"

Semiramis asked Alice, pointing to the large blank space on the map in southern Jutland.

"I don't know, Jutland has been very busy since the establishment of Jutland before, and I don't have time to study the surrounding situation at all, if I didn't go to Scandinavia this time, I don't know the specific shape and situation of the Celtic Isles and Scandinavia. ”

The news of Scandinavia was obtained by Alice from Sigonavia, and Sigourney simply knew everything about the not secret information asked by her savior, and told Alice all the maps she knew about Scandinavia, where the elves lived, where the dwarves, and where the tribe of trolls lived, she explained it clearly.

The situation of Celtic Mishima was secretly told to her by Skaha under Alice's questioning, although Skaha only knew about the battle, and the news was also a mess, but after Alice's sorting it out, it was also drawn as part of the map.

"Development requires expansion, and I don't don't understand this truth...... Taking advantage of the fact that the gods' control over the main plane is now weakened, we need more territories, more people, and more armies. ”

"There's no problem with the sea anymore, it's just a matter of thinking about land. ”

Semiramis reached out and nodded in the direction of east and north of Jutland, suggesting to Alice.

"In the next step, if we need to develop, we can only find a way in the east and north, the Celtic islands in the west are too far away from us, and in the absence of [portals], we can only go back and forth once a week by ship, even if we lead the army there to occupy a territory, there is no way to maintain the rule. ”

"No, senior sister, neither the east nor the north will work, we can't expand in those two directions, at least not for now. ”
