Further north, the Wanhu Valley officially stepped into the inland area of the Foggy Continent. Different from the "southern end" where the city of Kinunu is located, because of the various post-war relics of the Fog Hidden Continent, all kinds of inexplicable and indescribable energy that has lingered on this continent for countless years, making the interior of this continent present a scene that cannot be explained by common sense.

In the same area, there may be a desert on the left and dense rainforest on the right. Some places may seem vicious and sinister, but in fact they are quite complete, while others may seem beautiful and moving, but they have hidden murderous motives.

Although there is not much arable land at the southern end where the city of Kinunu is located, at least the climate and other conditions are still good, and there is nothing in the exaggerated energy turbulence.

But after crossing the Wanhu Valley, going out of the southern end, and officially entering the interior of the Fog Hidden Continent, it was completely different.

Even a passing wind has the potential to kill the most seasoned hunter.

This is the warning word that has been circulating in the city of Kinunu. Anyone who left the southern tip and went inland, whether it was a hunter, a miner, a fugitive, a murderer, or a slave being sold. Everyone knows one thing very well, in the inland, even if they don't encounter any enemies and monsters, just the natural environment can make anyone dare not guarantee their 100% safety.

The Fog Hidden Continent is so bad.

According to the pathfinders and actions of countless pioneers over the years, there are three generally safe routes starting from the Wannsee Valley, which can lead to the farthest end of the inland in the east, north and west directions. As long as you are on this safe route, then the impact on the natural environment will be minimized, and as long as you don't do your own carelessness, then safety is still guaranteed.

But is it really safe?

Of course not.

There are only three routes for the entire continent to move safely from the southern tip to other places, and although these three routes are the safest areas for all kinds of natural environmental traps, there is an existence in this world that is more harsh than the natural environment.

Person!

Because of these three routes, the various bandit settlements and the murderers who ran the orders basically concentrated on these three routes, and many people escaped the natural traps, but died in the hands of the same kind.

However, Tang Dou and his party certainly didn't have to worry about robbing them. In fact, the girl Chihuo has been expecting someone to rob her since the day she left, so that she can kill people in the open.

For his sister's such a bad hobby, Tang Dou could only roll his eyes, and at the same time pray for those unlucky bandits, hoping that they would not die in tricks.

Of course, Tang Dou was naturally not so kind, he just felt troublesome. On the other hand, because he has absorbed a large amount of "goodness", his current actions have begun to be somewhat affected. However, the pig has not fully sobered up, according to what I said before, only when the arrogant and black-bellied "good beast" comes to his senses, the "goodness" absorbed by Tang Dou will reach a peak, and at that time Tang Dou will have to be careful of himself.

Starting from the Valley of Wanhu, after some discussion, the people decided to follow the same route as the previous reconnaissance unit, that is, first to the farthest place in the far north from the southern end, and then to the valley of the east, and finally from the valley of the east to the west sea. It's basically to draw a cross on the Fog Hidden Continent.

With all their might, everyone would only need a few days to reach the Far North, but in order to search for clues, they had to slow down, and three days after setting off from the Ten Thousand Lakes Valley, they had just walked 1,500 miles, and there were still almost 6,000 miles to go from the Far North.

Storm Martha came on the ninety-second day, at noon.

The reconnaissance team rested temporarily, Tang Dou, Song Ming, Mu Feng, and Wo Rong looked at the map to discuss their next move, and the others either prepared food or lightly radiated reconnaissance outward, each performing their own duties.

"I don't think we'll be able to get anything out of this!" Tang Dou knocked on his temple: "Our enemy is not a target that can be inferred according to common sense, and if we act according to the planned route, there will be no good results!" ”

"The distance between the north and south of the Fog Hidden Continent is seven thousand four hundred miles, and the distance from east to west is six thousand miles. With such a huge area, we are only turning on a few routes, and even if the enemy is hiding a hundred miles away from us, the chances of us discovering them are so small that we can not count! ”

"You don't think that the enemy is so honest in these planned routes, do you?"

Song Ming nodded: "Your Excellency Nicholas is right. While we don't know for sure if the enemy has the ability to live in those dangerous areas for long periods of time, we can't prove that they don't. So even the most conservative estimates are very likely that the other party is in those danger zones! ”

Wo Rong smiled bitterly: "Although I am not afraid to go to those danger zones. And I'm sure our group will survive in those dangerous areas, but how do we get the search done in such a large area? It's just that those of us who are afraid that we won't be able to complete this task in a year! ”

"Here's the problem!" Tang Dou clapped his hands: "I think our previous thinking was a little biased. We always want to complete this task by ourselves, and we always think that we have to act in hiding, so as not to startle the snake, but now that we think about it, it seems that we have no need to hide at all! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Wo was puzzled.

"It's just a very simple misconception. The reason why we don't want to startle the snake is because we don't know what the enemy's purpose is, we don't know what kind of action they will take, and with instinctive caution, we don't think that we should reveal too much of what we have without figuring out the enemy's intelligence! ”

"Indeed, the first condition for reconnoitring the enemy situation is not to alert the enemy, otherwise they will make corresponding adjustments, and our reconnaissance results may come to naught, or even be used by the other side to set a trap!" Song Ming nodded.

"But have you ever thought about it! What is the situation between us and the enemy? Is it possible for our enemies to negotiate peace with us? Or rather, can we tolerate the presence of the enemy? I think you all have the same answer to both questions. We have only one way to go with the enemy! And time is pressing, the more it drags on, the more bad it will be for us! ”

Everyone listened to Tang Dou's analysis and nodded one after another.

"So here's the question, if that's the case, why do we care about anything like that? We only need to figure out two questions now, first, who is the enemy? Second, where is the enemy? Knowing who the other side is, we can arrange the specific forces of the expeditionary personnel so that they can be directly crushed. Knowing where the enemy is, the army can move in a direction. As for the rest, does it still make sense for the situation of both the enemy and the enemy? ”

Tang Dou's rhetorical question made everyone stunned all of a sudden.

Song Ming patted his head, a little annoyed: "Your Excellency Nicholas is right, we have all fallen into a misunderstanding of thinking. Subconsciously regard our enemies as 'normal people', but forget that we are facing a group of abnormal enemies, and we have no possibility of reconciliation with each other! ”

"That's right, for those guys who desecrate the remains of warriors, we can't let any of them go, and all of them are slashed and killed, which is the only thing we need to do!" Wo Yuan also nodded suddenly: "Fortunately, Your Excellency Nicholas is sober, otherwise we are still in the misunderstanding of thinking, not only is it a waste of time, but I am afraid that the final task will not be completed!" ”

"It's nothing, I just happen to be an outsider, so I can see clearly!" Tang Dou waved his hand, and then spoke: "So I think we have to change the same plan of action. Not only will the course change, but so will the way we act! ”

"Your Excellency, please speak!"

"It's not really a complicated plan. The problem is in front of us, if we want to change the search of the established route, then there will be insufficient manpower. Going back to transfer people is obviously a matter of the main reality. There are too few people to send and too low strength to do anything. If you send elites, then if there is any loss, everyone's loss will be great. So we need to find a group of guys who have enough people and don't feel heartache when they die! Tang Dou grinned.

Everyone didn't turn their minds for a while. On the contrary, Chihuo, the girl who had been talking about eliminating the bandits and bullies, was the first to react: "Those bandits, arrest them and help us find people, and if you don't agree, you will be cut directly." Those who dared to run were also cut directly. If we look for it one by one, we will always get enough people, and we can also eliminate harm for the people! Now, dear, isn't that so? ”

Since the last time Tang Dou jokingly asked Chihuo to call herself "dear", this girl has remembered this and can't change it anymore. Compared with Sha Yunyue's introverted shyness, this girl is generous and considers herself Tang Dou's wife. Although it was obvious, with her little common sense, it was not even clear what exactly it meant to be a husband and wife.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Which one of those present is not in a high position? In their position, there are not many people who really want to say anything about compassion and compassion, even if it is Song Ming, who has the style of a gentleman, most of his gentleman's style is only given to people in the city.

For the people in the city of Kinunu, people outside the city are often not counted as "people". It's not about good or evil, it's just a ********. It is the habitual thinking that is naturally cultivated by the survival of this chaotic continent.

Only Aglaya frowned slightly, and after looking at Tang Dou, she wanted to speak, but in the end she didn't say it.

Because Tang Dou seemed to guess what she was thinking, his eyes turned to her and smiled slightly: "Our target is those notoriously murderous bandits, and we don't need to care about ordinary people who are coerced by them." It's not that you don't need to care, but you have to deal with it the other way around! ”

"The other way around?" Except for Chihuo and Aglia, the others didn't understand what Tang Dou meant for a while.

Tang Dou laughed and spread his hands: "Our enemy is an evil spirit fighting spirit, no matter how special he is, some basic things will definitely not change, those ordinary people stay here and wait for death, or send them out to explore the way, it is completely to send troops to the other party, which is not a good thing." Pack them all up and send them back to the city, and don't forget, they're laborers. My workshop and construction site have always been short of manpower! ”

Everyone was stunned, but Song Ming still had a question: "Your Excellency Nicholas, I naturally will not object to your proposal." But there are two questions, one is how do we send these people back, this is not a short journey, those ordinary people are not capable of walking back on their own. The other is, do you really need so many people on the construction site? The first phase of the project is nearing completion, and the second and third phases require more people than they can accommodate everyone, right? ”

"Hey, Song Gongzi, have you ever thought about what is the first phase, the second phase and the third phase on the construction site, which is just a beginning? There's a lot of open space at the southern end! Tang Dou had already had an idea and immediately replied to the other party.

Song Ming was not stupid, he reacted immediately after thinking about it, and showed a shocked look: "Your Excellency Nicholas, you don't plan to ...... Going to ......"

"Hey, it seems that Brother Dao really didn't tell you, but I told all my ambitions to the bigwigs of the seven major gangs. What is a few settlements? Since the ancestors of the three clans could open up a Kinunu city a thousand years ago, why can't we double the expansion of Kinunu City after a thousand years, or even more? ”

"I'm afraid this ......" Song Ming didn't know if he should say it thoroughly.

In fact, everyone knows this problem in their hearts. For thousands of years, it is not that there are no ambitious people like Tang Dou who want to expand Jinunu City, but what is the Fog Hidden Continent? It's a place of exile.

The inland is a huge prison, and all kinds of murderers and evil leaders that cannot be accommodated by the other three continents are sent here to fend for themselves, and the various forces in the city of Kinunu, to put it bluntly, are a group of people who are also guilty, but will not be exiled to the interior, so they are concentrated in the city, which is equivalent to jailers.

On the other hand, although the Fog Hidden Continent is chaotic and dangerous, some of the benefits of its special products are needed by the three clans. That's why we have such a special environment.

The city of Kinunu has not been expanded for thousands of years, not because it has not been thought of, but because it has been deliberately maintained under a trade-off between the top of the three clans.

Tang Dou shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Interests, the essence of everything is interests." The Fog Hidden Continent is quite dangerous, but it also has amazing benefits. What the high-level leaders of the Three Clans Mother Continent want is nothing more than to get more benefits with as little effort as possible. If they can satisfy this idea, they will not care what happens to the Fog Hidden Continent. Strictly speaking, they can't control much! ”

"Therefore, if we can settle down the whole continent and drive all the dangerous guys into the dangerous areas and let them fend for themselves in them, the rest of the safe areas, the specialty areas, are all directly in our hands. This continent is jointly managed by the three clans, and with enough interests and strength, you can have an equal dialogue with the high-level people of the mother continent! “

"Hey, you're not really going to mold in this place for the rest of your life, are you?"

Tang Dou's words were full of demagoguery, which made everyone's hearts burn a little fire of ambition, everyone look at me, I look at you, it seems that you can see the little strange glimmer in each other's eyes.

"Your Excellency Nicholas, it doesn't seem safe for you to say this to my face, does it?" It was the wood wind that spoke. (To be continued.) )
