Chapter 259: Internal and External Contradictions
"Good." Caesar nodded, giving the gnoll leader a compliment and affirmation.
As the second-in-command of the Blackwing Court, Hogg is indeed thoughtful, if you look at it from the standpoint of the Blackwing Lair, the humans of the Northland Kingdoms and Tia of the Elven Forest are not without a reason to defect.
"But actually, it's not very likely that this kind of thing will happen."
The black dragon looked at him with crimson eyes and explained, "The Elven Forest and the Northland Kingdoms have already suffered, and I don't think they have the courage to raise their blades against us anymore. ”
If these two families really dared to drag the Nest of Blackwings back and wait for Caesar to withdraw his hand to clean them up, the consequences would be immeasurable, and the rulers of both sides would not be so stupid.
"Of course, vigilance and precautions are still necessary, send some lizard people to the Elven Forest, keep an eye on the movements over there, and the Northland countries will be handed over to the Black Shirt to be responsible."
The black dragon, covered with hideous barbs, rose from the throne that had merged with it, climbed to the front, and looked down at the clan leaders: "I have summoned you here not only to discuss how to fight, but to tell you that the God of Hunt is only one of the evil gods, a minion of the Lord of the Storm, an inconspicuous commodity. ”
"What I want to tell you is that it is the nest of black wings, and you must not only be prepared to start a war with the apostles and believers of Marat, but also be prepared to fight with the forces of other evil gods and righteous gods."
The black dragon approached, and saw that the core dependents such as Wren and Hogg had a worried and slightly puzzled face, so he explained a little more: "In the Third Age, the alien forces that can rule over the human race have long been extinct, although the countries of the Northland are small, but the nest of the Black Wing cannot never attract the attention of others, and the human rulers of other countries, the gods of good and evil, and some other unknown things, will notice here sooner or later." ”
When he said this, Caesar thought of the grotesque and vicious statuette, but he didn't mention it much, but continued: "If you want to gain a foothold in Eladia, the nest of black wings has to be fought and must be fought. ”
As early as when he was planning to rule the Northlands, Caesar had carefully analyzed the situation on the continent and had already anticipated this day.
Even if there is no Marat, when the Black Wing Empire is merged and established, such a multi-racial mixed alternative empire will be harassed by gods such as oxen and dogs, and it will also cause hostility from trade city-states and unfallen empires due to competition for resources.
War is inevitable.
And the nest of the Black Wings must fight, and it must win.
It is better to start a war early than late, to paraphrase the words of Caesar's great country, which is called "fight with one punch, lest a hundred blows come", the Black Dragon Lord must show his power to Eladia, and so does the Black Wing's Lair.
"As long as you want."
The dragon-veined gnoll muttered as he pulled out his legendary weapon and placed it on the Elantra carpet in front of him, the blade of the bloodthirsty axe glowing on the soft wool. "The Gnoll will always be your guillotine."
"Dragonborn is, master." The leader of the wyvern screamed and scrambled to Hogg's side.
"The Stone Crow Clan is willing to die for you."
"The dog demon is always thirsty for bloodshed, Your Majesty."
"The Manticore obeys your orders."
The other clan leaders agreed, all of them baring their teeth and kneeling in the Blackwing Court.
Caesar waited for them to subside before he continued, "But this war can give us something else." ”
"Barrett."
The Emperor pronounced a name unfamiliar to the leaders of the Blackwing Clan.
Spotting the black dragon's crimson vertical eyes, the bard, who was surrounded by a group of powerful alien leaders and had a weak sense of existence, trembled and palpitated, and walked out of the corner behind the royal court with his head bowed, kneeling down like the clan leaders.
"Your Majesty." He said tremblingly.
"Things were well done before."
Caesar first affirmed his work, but ordered: "When you return, organize your men to carry out propaganda work within the Northlands, so that everyone knows that the God of Hunting is coming, and it is ready to slaughter the Northlands and destroy them completely." ”
"The official bulletin board, the stronghold of the Elegy Tavern, are available to you. But listen clearly, and I'm going to let everybody know, everybody. ”
The black dragon stared at him, revealing a ferocious and violent side: "If you can't do it, you will die." ”
Caesar needed to establish the Blackwing Empire, so he had to lubricate the relationship between the Blackwing clan and the humans of the Northland as much as possible, and war was the best way to divert internal contradictions and bring aliens closer.
But the premise is that Caesar had to steal a few concepts.
If people knew that the followers of the God of Hunting had only come to defeat the Nest of the Black Wings and rule the Northlands, the numb people would not have reacted, anyway, in the eyes of the people, the Black Dragon Emperor and the Black Blood God were the same thing.
With a different ruler, their days will not get any worse.
This is the necessity of the existence of the propaganda department, Caesar needs Barrett to do a good job of public opinion, and never mention the historical origin of the nest of the Black Wing and the god of hunting, as long as the people of the Northland think that the god of hunting is here to slaughter the Northland.
Anyway, Marat's reputation has always been extremely poor, and there are enough black pots on his body, so he probably won't care if he carries two more bites.
Under such subconscious propaganda, needless to say, people will also subconsciously believe that the Nest of Black Wings is the protector of the Northlands.
Of course, this is not enough.
The war gave Caesar enough time to play on the topic, and of course he would not only send the Blackwing Clan to war with the God of Hunting, but at the same time, the Black Dragon Emperor would also gather human soldiers from the Northland throughout the territory to fight with the Blackwing Clan.
Although under the high-pressure control of the Blackwing Lair, the military strength of the Northland countries is already very weak and cannot play much role in the battle situation, but this gesture must be put on, Caesar wants to send a message to the people, to let the people know that the Blackwing Clan is also a member of his side, there is no need to resist and resist, and at the critical moment, they can also fight side by side with it.
It is also worth mentioning that the Northland army mainly recruited by the Black Dragon Leader does not include the Black Shirts.
When the Blackshirts were first established to recruit them, Caesar's defining function was not to be used as an army for combat, and it would be more appropriate to call them the "Imperial Garrison", the Blackshirts were actually the maintainers of order in the Northland, and if they all went to the front, the situation in the Northland, which was gradually stabilizing, would be chaotic again.
Caesar wants to take advantage of the topic and draw the armies of the rulers and nobles of various countries, and if those guys don't do their best, the black dragon just has the opportunity and excuse to clean up these guys.
Speaking of which, this war is really just right, and if there is a chance, the Black Dragon Lord has to thank Marat.
