Chapter 382: How to deal with mermaids and krakens
Undoubtedly, it is a very troublesome task to spend time searching for the tribes scattered throughout the Baltic Sea one by one, even if they have addresses from other tribes.
In particular, not all tribes will agree to Alice's demands and conditions, and some of them even risk angering Alice, risking disappearing from the main plane, and forcefully rejecting Alice's proposal, stubbornly believing that their homeland is more important than survival and the continuation of the race, and they would rather die in their homeland than give up their principles for the hope of survival.
Although her temper is very kind in this era, Alice is still angry when she is rejected by such a force, but after careful consideration, she still gives up using strong methods, after all, what she needs is a group of men who sincerely surrender to her, not a group of slaves.
What's more, she didn't have much time to waste on the tribes who rejected her proposal, and for every extra day of delay, the merfolk and krakens were likely to react and thwart her actions.
From the very beginning, Alice was a pragmatist through and through, and she cared more about the time spent venting her anger than the anger of rejection, how much damage it would take, and how much she would gain from it.
Of course, Alice's progress was not smooth sailing, and Semiramis was actually not much better, even if the races she recruited were all relatively weak races, but not many were really successful.
The reason is very simple, Semiramis does not have Alice's strength, nor her prestige, nor Alice's series of shocking records, and the reason why she can still succeed is due to her superior intelligence and the fact that she is also from Jutland.
Especially when she entered a tribe of seals, she was actually attacked by those sealmen who were only a little stronger than fishmen, and she was particularly embarrassed at that time, because a small tribe with less than a hundred people, not to mention legends, there were not even spellcasters, and there were not even many adult warriors who could fight.
If you fight back and kill them all, it will undoubtedly have a bad effect on the rest of the action, or at least it will appear too domineering, which will cause problems for Alice on the other side, who is doing the same work.
If you don't fight back, you will also be labeled as cowardly and cowardly, and no one will take refuge in a lord who is known for being cowardly and cowardly, which will only make you be labeled cowardly and cowardly, which is more terrible for many people than losing your life, and of course running away is also the same.
"Wouldn't it be better if you took the Kraken with you?"
Thinking like this, Semiramis did not stop the movement of her hands, she quickly prepared the magic of defense, blocked the attacks of these sealers, and made these sealmen lose their ability to fight before the next wave of attacks came.
This is not a very difficult thing to do, Semiramis is a serious spellcaster who has gone through three years of training at the Academy of Magic, and now she is a powerful legend, and her opponent
Just two simple spells let these seals know that this human girl who invaded their territory is an existence that is difficult for them to fight, and at the same time, Semiramis just made them incapacitated to fight, and also let them understand the kindness of the people who came.
The rest of the conversation was very simple, as the seals who lived at the bottom of the Baltic Sea and could not even maintain a large tribe, they also had no backbone to refuse Semiramis's request.
They agreed very simply, even impatiently...... It's not complicated if you think about it, if you become Alice's subordinate, don't mention anything else, at least they can survive with the guarantee that they don't have to worry all day about being used as food by enemies who don't know when they will find them.
At this time, Semiramis, like Alice, discovers something that embarrasses her, and she has to work as a bodyguard to protect the seals back into their new city...... Soon Semiramis would feel that her decision was the right thing to do, and in just half a day's journey, she encountered the attack of three sharks that had reached the legendary level, and even one of them was very strong, so that she had to pull down the projection of Bashom again, and she could barely deal with it.
After returning to the new city, Semiramis handed over the seals to the Pale Book, and very forcefully rejected the Pale Book's proposal to let her stay in the new city to deal with the internal affairs of the seven or eight sheets, and turned around and made rapid progress towards the next tribe's residence.
Even after this incident with the Seal Man, after some consideration, she still didn't bring the Kraken with her, and in Semiramis's opinion, keeping the Kraken in this new city as a safeguard is much more useful than taking it with her as a deterrent.
"That doesn't work, we have to come up with a solution. ”
The Siren Chieftain, or the queen of the Sirens, slammed his fists hard against the table in front of him, and the soft little hand collided with the hard stone table with a muffled sound.
It's been a week since the merfolk team sent to negotiate with Alice has gone missing, and the merfolk and the Kraken's higher-ups have also come together for a week to discuss, but it is clear that their discussions have not come up with a practical solution to the problem.
The war with the Fishmen had drained them so much of their strength that they were now at an impasse for various reasons (including the three Divine Fish that Semiramis had used to retaliate).
Those dirty, ugly, stupid fishmen began to leave their places of residence and began to gather together, tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of them, to fight against the attacks of merfolk and Kraken forces.
Although the fishmen are still at a disadvantage in this encirclement and counter-encirclement struggle due to the lack of spellcasters and legends, at least they are not harvested like grass by the enemy as before.
"What else can we do? Can we still go to war with her? The fish people haven't been dealt with yet. ”
The mermaid chief smiled coldly beside her, she was also very annoyed by Alice's non-cooperation, but she could only be annoyed, and now there was no strength in the tribe to fight against Alice, unless those gods would intervene for such a trivial matter.
If these merfolk and krakens cried like those gods, they would really try to help them settle Alice and Semiramis, after all, the Baltic Sea has been their own place and bath since ancient times, no matter how they fight, it is a conflict within the gods, and they will not allow Alice to grow and occupy a place in the Baltic Sea.
The inherent thinking of the gods has caused the mermaids and the krakens to miss the easiest solution to the problem, so they are still wrestling and arguing in the hope of finding the best of both worlds, both to get rid of the fish-people and to make them have no room to turn over, and to stop Alice's actions and prevent her from rising.
"Or ......"
The Siren Chief was entangled for a moment, and said with a slight hesitation.
"No, absolutely not. ”
The merfolk chief interrupted the following words sharply, she knew what the Kraken chief meant, and temporarily gave up the encirclement and suppression of the fishmen, first gathered the army, and prioritized the elimination of Alice and Semiramis and the new city they founded.
Regardless of whether the army after that battle can complete such a task, if it does, then those fish people will undoubtedly have a short period of time to recuperate, if during this time, a new leader or a legendary powerhouse is produced among them, then everything they have done before will be in vain, everything sacrificed before is worthless, and even their two clans will be wiped out in the revenge of the fish people.
"This can't work, that can't work, are we just watching that guy gather all the races and tribes and grow into a big force in the Baltic Sea?"
"I don't want to have a sea monster on our heads, I've had enough of those days for so many years. ”
The Siren Chief complained loudly, thinking that under the rule of that sea monster, even if she could maintain a certain amount of freedom and dignity, the life of the Siren was not good, and she felt a pang of distress when she thought about the supplies that needed to be provided every year.
"No, you're right about it, we can't go on like this, we have to do something. ”
"How? You say, I listen. ”
The Siren Chief listened attentively, but in his heart he raised his vigilance, although due to some external reasons, these two races have been hostile for I don't know how many years, it can be said that they are working together, but no matter what, she will not take it lightly.
"Get rid of all the fishmen as soon as possible, there's no need to kill them all, just drive them ashore. ”
"Catch ashore? Do you mean catch up with those inland freshwater rivers and lakes?"
The Siren Chief asked, incredulous.
"That's right, if it was just to drive away, those fishmen wouldn't have resisted so fiercely, and we wouldn't have to pay too much cost and time. ”
"Of course, you don't have to worry that when they go to the interior and will one day come back, leaving the rich Baltic Sea, their number will be limited, and whether it is on land or in the inland lakes and rivers, there are also many races that do not like fishmen. ”
The amount of food determines the size of the population, no matter how terrible the reproduction ability of the fish-people is, as long as there is not enough food, even if they are born, there is no way for them to grow up normally.
For the sake of population expansion and sufficient food, the fish-people will inevitably further encroach on the interests of other races, which will inevitably provoke more fierce conflicts, and at that time, the merfolk and the krakens will only need to be responsible for defending a few estuaries to keep the fish-people in the inland.
It only takes a few fortifications to build a few fortifications at a few inlets to withstand dozens of times the enemy, and even with the cooperation of the caster, it is foreseeable that those fortifications will become the graves of the fishmen.
In addition, the races in the inland rivers and lakes are not vegetarians, and in the familiar freshwater, whether it is a beaver beast or a river water spirit, they can exert more than 200% of their strength.
Of course, in the mermaid chieftain's vision, those greedy and stupid fishmen will not be just like this, they will certainly not be satisfied with living only in rivers and lakes, they will definitely live further on the land, then they will definitely cause the attacks of the land races, at least the Scandinavians will never such ugly and stupid races invade their territory.
"Once we've dealt with those fishmen, we can target our mishap-wrecked girl. ”
Speaking of Alice's nickname, the beautiful mermaid chief's eyes couldn't help but flash a look of jealousy, not only because of Alice's strong strength, but also because of her rumor that no matter where she went, it would be like a curse to bring disaster.
However, judging from Alice's previous records, this rumor can be confirmed to be true no matter how you look at it, and the latest record of the girl who brought calamity is to help the mermaid and the kraken complete the strategic goal of the fishman, so that the powerful fishman becomes a mess of sand.
"Don't worry too much. ”
Compared with the worries of the mermaid chieftain, the kraken chief is much more optimistic, in her opinion, if the mermaid can be successfully solved, Alice's problem is actually not complicated, after all, Alice's power in the sea is now a few bald commanders, as long as they defeat them once, their ambitions will naturally collapse.
For a few weeks, the Siren Chief didn't believe that Alice and Semiramis would be able to get the new races to join the city to fight against the merfolk and the Siren's alliance with 100% strength, and even if they signed a magical agreement, they would not be able to risk the extinction of the clan.
No, even if those races showed 100% strength, it was actually not a great thing, in the last battle with the mermaids, although the merfolk and the kraken suffered a lot of losses, but the other races suffered even more heavy losses due to calculations.
"That's something that I think about later, the food has to be eaten bite by bite, and the plan has to be taken step by step. ”
"This time, we're going to take action and get the fish people ashore, and then turn around and deal with the girl who brought the calamity. ”
The Merfolk Chief said, and left his seat.
