When the human race is advancing towards the interior of the ash swamp on a large scale, in the central area of the ash swamp, the battle between the beastmen and the aborigines that has lasted for almost a year has been stalemate here for I don't know how long, the first few days as agreed, the two sides invested a total of no less than 200,000 people, and finally ended with a total of 10,000 dead on both sides, such a battle happened no less than fifteen times in this year, almost every month, sometimes not even two back, most of them are beastmen who take the initiative to attack, and the aborigines defend.

Before the humans came to the Ash Swamp, the aborigines did not have muskets, and in the face of the strong beastmen, the weapons in their hands were difficult to work, so the beastmen quickly occupied the entire west of the Ash Swamp, and even the central area was occupied a lot, until the muskets arrived, the wood spirits relied on the muskets to finally resist the fierce attack of the beastmen, and the entire battle line stopped in the central areaThey just want to have a piece of their own land in this land, and they don't interfere with others or be disturbed by others.

It's just that their idea seems to be an extremely extravagant thing for either side, just the day after the end of the latest World War, just when everyone thought that there would be another month of respite, a news that made all the aborigines extremely uneasy, even frightened, came, millions of human beings are frantically cutting down forests and expanding the land, although humans have not forcibly driven out the aborigines above, but the vast majority of aborigines rely on the forest to live, without the forest, what do they eat？

Especially the wood spirits, the absence of the forest is a disaster for the wood spirits, and other species may be slightly better, but not much better, so the aborigines held a discussion meeting at the first time to decide what to do in the face of the sudden actions of humans.

"Maybe we can talk to the humans, we can give them some more soil, they only have three million people, and at most a quarter of the ash swamp is enough to feed them!"

"We may be able to directly promise them the land of the Beastmen, and let them help us defeat the Beastmen, after all, humans are better to deal with than Beastmen. ”

"Or we can tell humans to share the land, as long as they don't cut down the forests!"

At the meeting, the leaders of the various clans of the aborigines were discussing countermeasures, but almost all of them did not mention the option of directly declaring war on the humans, because everyone present knew that even if the aborigines attacked with all their might, it would be difficult to defeat the humans without the beastmen dragging them down, and there was still a beastman in front of them, and the already very weak aboriginal alliance had no possibility of victory.

Only the wood elf's face is gloomy, the beastman is the aboriginal of the gray swamp, and the wood spirit is the same, the beastman is ambitious, but the wood spirit is not, the wood spirit has never thought of fighting for hegemony or anything, but now the human approach has touched the bottom line of the wood spirit in an instant, this bottom line is even more terrifying than the beastman, the beastman will enslave them, but will not cut down the forest where the wood spirit is to survive, but the human will do, and the human will do it more desperately.

Not only would they cut down the trees, but they would also set fire to the roots and vines, and finally drain the swamps and level them into plains, plant crops, and build castles.

In the words of the previous wood spirit, it takes less than a month for humans to cut down a forest, but it takes ten, twenty, or even thirty years for the wood spirit to replant, and the wood spirit is the most powerful existence in the entire aboriginal coalition, and the initiative to convene this meeting means that all the aboriginal clans can agree to force the human race to stop reclamation, and the wood spirit also knows that it is not very realistic to let the human race go back, and the wood spirit has been very compromised, but now these clans have never had the slightest thought for the wood spiritWouldn't they know that if it weren't for their wood spirits' lethal power, the beastmen would have turned them all into anger a long time ago?

"I think everyone has a point!"

Finally, the leader of the wood spirits spoke, and there was no expression on his face, just an indifferent expression:

"But whatever the choice, we need to get the Terran to listen to us, otherwise it will be useless for us to say more here, I don't think so. ”

The leader of the wood spirits said this, seeing that everyone agreed with his words, he paused and continued:

"How about we send some of our forces back to confront the Terrans and let them see our fighting power, and then we can get the approval of the Terrans and say our proposals, how about it?"

"What about the division of troops? What about here now? We can only barely resist the attack of the beastmen, and if we divide our forces again, we will not be able to stop them. ”

"yes, the beastmen are much more hateful than humans!"

The two people who spoke, respectively, are the representatives of the elves and the representatives of the cat people, their two species are living very well in the territory of humans, and even before, the cat people have also specifically discussed whether to take the initiative to send a request to the human race to join, the cat people are willing to become a civilian part of the empire, the elves are even better, and there are even humans to persuade the elves to join the human empire, after all, the elves look like a short version of the human race, and from the perspective of human aesthetics, the elves are all handsome guys and beauties, well, it is the kind of cute girl who is very kawaii。

For these two races, the beastmen are indeed much more cruel than humans, and the wood spirits are not angry about this, because the elves and cat people are not small in the alliance, and if they are united, they can even mix with the wood spirits, although in the end, the wood spirits must win, but they don't already have the power to wrestle with the wood spirits!

"This is indeed a problem, in this way, we wood spirits will mobilize at least 50,000 more people to fill the vacancy, we transfer 50,000 people from here, presumably there will be no problem!"

The words of the wood spirit made the others nod with satisfaction, anyway, it is not to fight with humans, but there is no risk, and if the front line is left to the wood spirit to defend, they can still die a little less.

"Since everyone has no objections, then it's decided, everyone go back and prepare, and set off immediately!"

"Immediately?"

"Hehe, after all, we also want to negotiate with the humans as soon as possible, so that we can annihilate the beastmen in one fell swoop!"

"Well, then!"

Looking at the various aboriginal clans who had finally settled down and began to execute according to their orders, the face of the leader of the wood spirit instantly turned into rage after no one was around:

"Bastards, they are all a bunch of bastards, they don't know how to be grateful at all, we wood spirits have paid so much for them, don't they never think about us wood spirits? These people should be sent to the front line to be the first batch of cannon fodder for the confrontation!"

"Chief, what are we going to do next? Are we really mobilizing another 50,000 people? If we mobilize again, we will mobilize women!"

An attendant reminded him worriedly, but the leader's face did not change:

"Mobilize, mobilize another 50,000, but these 50,000 clansmen don't need to be sent here, they can be deployed directly and secretly on the human side, and tell the clansmen who stay here that if the beastmen come over, they don't need to fight, they just retreat. ”

The words of the leader of the wood spirit made the entourage of the wood spirit below startled, they looked at their leader uneasily, and they wanted to say something but couldn't say it, the leader of the wood spirit sighed helplessly and said:

"Do you think I don't want peace and peace with the human race? But we don't have a choice, don't we give enough to humans? Aren't we polite enough to humans? But what do we get? It's the destructive cutting of the forest by humans that they don't declare war, and I can see that they don't care about us at all, and the reason why they are so good to elves and cat people is only because these two species are useful to humans, but we wood spirits are obviously useless in the eyes of humans. ”

The words of the leader of the wood spirit carried Xiao Se: "Go down and prepare, I hope that we have gathered 100,000 people to make the human race retreat, otherwise..."

Speaking of this, the leader of the wood spirits suddenly stopped his words, and just looked into the distance inexplicably.

...

The large-scale retreat of the aboriginal coalition army has not been hidden from the beastmen and humans, the beastmen have been paying attention to this side, and the human side has cat people and elves to ventilate the news, for this situation the beastmen are a little confused, but for the sake of insurance, the beastmen did not recklessly send their own troops to rush up directly, but chose to wait and see, and the human side is directly ready for battle, Lelouch chose Wang Zifeng to be responsible for the development of the gray swamp for a reason.

The fanaticism of the church does not allow them to make any compromises, Lelouch's original words are to control the entire Ash Swamp, and control the entire Ash Swamp in the hands of humans, since it is a human being, then except for the races that are identified as useful and friendly to humans, everyone else should be expelled, Wang Zifeng feels that Lelouch is already very friendly, because Lelouch chooses to expel rather than exterminate.

Therefore, Wang Zifeng has never considered any possibility of making peace with these aborigines, and he, like the beast people, only gives them two choices for those unpopular aborigines: either go by yourself, or I will send you away!

The speed of human land development has not slowed down at all, they have expanded the land rapidly, the original large dense jungle has become a vast land after being leveled in just over a month, a large number of newly built fortresses are working overtime construction, the materials of these fortresses are all from the felled forest, although most of them are wooden buildings, but it is more than enough to defend against the aborigines, and Wang Zifeng is not ready to let the aborigines fight the fortress, the war between the prince and the aborigines will only be a field battle.

Wang Zifeng wants to let those aborigines who have not even entered the feudal era know how insurmountable the gap between the times is, Wang Zifeng doesn't even need to mobilize all the troops, only the 50,000 newly arrived legionnaires can directly pinch the aborigines and beastmen to death like pinching a worm to death.

What Wang Zifeng didn't know was how heavy the price he would pay for this idea in the future.

"My lord, the aborigines should arrive in two days, will we start fighting directly?"

At the front-line construction site, a Templar asked Wang Zifeng how he planned the meeting in two days, and Wang Zifeng said without thinking:

"Tell them directly, either obey our arrangement and move out, or be beaten by us and move out!"

Looking at Wang Zifeng's resolute attitude, the face of this Templar under the armor was full of admiration, worthy of being the godson who could meet the Son of God at any time, the belief was really not to be said, such a resolute attitude made him loose just now, and he really felt extremely ashamed.

The change in the mentality of the Templars Wang Zifeng seemed to know, and glanced at the Templar slightly, is Wang Zifeng a fanatical brainless? Of course not, but Wang Zifeng knows what he needs, how to do it, how to use it, and the main force he relies on in the Gray Swamp is still the Guardian Army, because a lot of black work can only be carried out by the Guardian Army without discount, not the Garrison.

So he had to show the qualities that convinced the Guardians, and the best of these was fanatical faith.

Wang Zifeng didn't care about the Templars around him, he looked at the expanding plain area in the distance, his eyes were full of huge trees that kept falling to the ground, the development of the gray swamp was a national policy that the entire empire reached a consensus, Wang Zifeng, as the final executor, must implement the entire policy, and Lelouch in the rear also spared no effort to support, in addition to the lack of population, other materials and equipment were almost what they wanted, and even the dragon vulture knights gave Wang Zifeng two hundred, this lineup was enough for Wang Zifeng to walk sideways in the gray swamp。

"First force the aborigines back through field battles, and then take advantage of the situation to march and directly repel the beastmen, and then we can develop the entire gray swamp with peace of mind. ”

Wang Zifeng's idea is very simple, he doesn't seem to have used his brains, but the reality is that Wang Zifeng himself has absolute power, and the most simple and crude method is the most effective way for Wang Zifeng.

"Oh, by the way, you go and send an announcement to the cat people and elves, just say that we may fight with the aborigines, and let him take care of it when the time comes, and we can also investigate these two races to see if they can be officially absorbed into the imperial system!"
