On May 19, 1227, although summer was about to begin, the banks of the Mubohair River still did not feel warm, and it was even much colder than the winter in the south. Under such climatic conditions, the corpses of the orcs piled up on both sides of the river probably did not have to worry about an outbreak of plague.

Over the next few days, the coalition forces that had crossed the Mubohair River began to carelessly dispose of the corpses in the area. Tens of thousands of orcs, centaurs, minotaurs, trolls, and countless goblins and kobolds will be gathered together for disposal and burned. It is said that the black smoke from the burning of corpses almost obscured half of the sky, and could be seen as far away as the Chaos Giants Plains behind, as well as Mount Namoa and the Iron Rock Canyon. The follow-up troops of the coalition forces who arrived watched this shocking scene.

The corpses of the slain generals of all ranks, clan khans, and some famous tribal warriors had to be disposed of individually. Their heads, as well as those of Cyclops and Beamon, will be cut off and nailed to spears and flagpoles as proof of martial honor. Lu Xi has always felt that this approach is indeed a bit barbaric. If you win, you win, so why insult the corpse of your enemy? However, this is also the current international tradition, not only the Nords, but also the most elite elves don't think there is any problem, and Lu Xi is not prepared to annoy people because of this.

In addition, some people have a perverted heart and propose to cut off the heads of tens of thousands of orcs and accumulate them into Jingguan, which can be described as a very Nordic tradition. You know, this group of northerners has always had such a bad taste. This aspect of the "artistic attainments" is in the overlord Steemson era formed a great achievement, that guy has cultivated a lifetime of Jingguan large and small more than 20, not only solid, but also very beautiful, it is said that it is still a lot of local Nord lords used to earn foreign exchange for tourism landmarks.

…… I have to say, it's really a distorted aesthetic and three views. However, the spirit of tourists who regard such places as tourist destinations is even more distorted, right?

In addition, the person who made this suggestion was the eldest brother Char who rushed over from Black Man City, and it really deserved to be a family history. He had originally gone to the territory of his allies to rush food, and he hurried and hurried, but he still did not catch up with the tail of the battle. This time, he probably felt a little dissatisfied with his desires, and wanted to find a random reason to vent his anger.

"We don't have that time!" Lu Xi dissuaded: "The confrontation in Mubohail has been too long. We'd better go north as soon as possible, and when we break through the Thunder Cliff fortress and level the Golden Horde, I won't object to you even if you want to use the heads of Asog and Longzath to build a capital view. ”

"You really don't understand anything! Lu Xi? Belencaster. Char glanced at Lu Xi, who he hadn't seen for many years, with complicated eyes, he didn't know why, he could inexplicably feel the huge pressure transmitted from the other party, and now it was difficult to put on a high posture in front of Lu Xi like before. However, as a "brother" position, he still stubbornly maintained a condescending attitude as much as possible, and said in a didactic tone: "The Nords are a martial people, and the most trusted leader is the leader who can lead them to victory on the battlefield." But in this world, there is nothing more representative of Wuxun than Jingguan. The victory on the Mubohair River, the corpses of these orcs, was her own honor, but if it was in the Thunder Cliff Fortress and the Golden Horde, it was achieved under the leadership of her father. It's fundamentally different, you know? The Iron Throne in Skyrim Fort can't sit still just by relying on the requirements of his father, and it needs enough embellishment! ”

"No, no, it's you who really don't understand, brother." Lu Xidao.

“…… Don't call me Elder Brother! Char protested, but not too firmly.

"Okay brother, no problem, brother." Lu Xi responded casually, and then his tone slowly became solemn: "You have to correct your thinking!" Elder brother. Artoria will make a good king, but her way will be different from what you and Uncle Otto imagined. She has her own way of being a king, and she doesn't need to show her martial arts in this way. Or, to be as upright as she is, to be as kind as her, it is one thing to defeat the enemy on a frontal battlefield, but it is another thing to insult the corpse of the enemy! When a slope was built on the banks of the Mubohair River with human heads, he told her that it was built for her. Do you know how much of a burden this can put on Artoria? ”

"Integrity and kindness are not necessary traits for kings. She needs prestige, and she needs more people to look up to and awe her. Artoria is too pure to do such a thing, so we need to help her make that determination. ”

"Prestige from fear?" Although he was facing his eldest brother, Lu Xi still unabashedly expressed his scorn: "Brother, I have to say, your gameplay is really good!" ”

"Don't call me my brother!"

"Okay brother, no problem, brother." Lu Xi said casually: "Prestige comes from people's hearts after all. Artoria had already gained enough hearts and minds on the battlefield, and the fear created by the corpse piles would not have a greater effect. What she needs to show is justice under the battlefield. ”

"Impartiality?" Char raised her eyebrows, as if she felt she had heard something interesting. In other words, such a "childish" line was said by Lu Xi, which made him feel subtly a little dramatic.

"Huh...... Sounds really exciting! Olivier, who had been silent, laughed: "Justice under the battlefield, Lu Xiwuyou, do you mean the spoils of war?" ”

"Naturally, it is." Lu Xi smiled: "Olivier, this is worthy of you!" Is it true that it is because of the most secular people that the most secular areas can be considered? You still call yourself an artist. ”

"No, no, no, only those who have measured the world with their legs and understand the world can understand the true meaning of art. The kind of person who locks himself in a tower and indulges in his own little world is just a self-satisfied psychotic for the rest of his life! I, O I, am still a wandering poet of undoubted love and justice, an artistic hunter in search of all truth, goodness and beauty in the world...... Uh, no, why do you call the eldest brother and the second brother elder brother, and call me by their first name! This double standard is very bad, and it is really bad character. From now on, I have decided to call you, my dear brother...... Ahh ”

"If you really dare to call it that, I will definitely give you a warm hug this time. While hugging, activate the domain of nothingness, but at the same time, ah, you can also use the song of divine punishment to renew your life. Guess what, Olivier dude, how long can you hold out without dying with such a double bonus? ”

“…… So, why do you have to say such cruel things with such a cute smile every time! Eh, but sure enough, this feeling is the familiar Lu Xi's friend! Hey, hey, I just love it. ”

This guy is really going to the abyss of the gentleman (bian) and the abyss (tai) is gone. Of course, because of this, the contradiction and alienation that occurred when talking to the "eldest brother" no longer exists, which is probably one of the few desirable points of this hopeless guy, right?

"Justice is actually a false proposition, and that's what our father taught me." Sure enough, although Char still didn't have any good words, his tone was indeed loosened.

"There is certainly no such thing as complete and absolute justice, but relative justice is. As long as the majority of people are satisfied, the so-called prestige will naturally exist. Lu Xi looked at Olivier and Char, held his chin and thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I said, brother, can you and Olivier fully represent Uncle Otto?" If you throw out a bunch of flesh and bones, will you be able to convince the disgruntled Nord lords? ”

Unlike Karin, Artoria is not a genius military and political leader, but fortunately, she is a hard-working "genius". During the year-long confrontation, she spent every day thinking and meditating, trying her best to anticipate all the situations that would happen on the battlefield, and preparing a plan, so that the battle on the Mubohair River and the Chaos Giants Field was maintained in a relatively advantageous situation.

On the other hand, in addition to the battle, as the commander of the coalition forces, Crown Prince Virginia and the future Empress Artoria must also seriously deal with the territorial distribution of the Chaos Giants Field...... Yes, when the coalition forces crossed Mount Namoa and approached the Mubohair River, the Giants' Field, which had been regarded as the outpost courtyard of the Great Plains of Orgrimmar, was regarded by the nations as the spoils of their successful expansion.

As a qualified political leader, even if he has not made any achievements in the military field, he has to settle the accounts in the political field. And the so-called political account, to put it bluntly, is the economic account. And the economic account on the battlefield is, to put it bluntly, the distribution of the spoils of war after the war, and even the distribution of land and territories. Once this is involved, any small matter will involve an inextricable exchange of interests, to be honest, Lu Xi really doesn't have much confidence in Artoria.

What we need to know is that so far, the components of the Southern Front Coalition Army, with the Knight Princess as the (nominally) supreme commander, are quite complex.

The 30,000 Nords of the Virgian Empire (including these brothers and women from the Northern Plateau) are the first line of MT and physical output. Including 5,000 Silver Pegasus Blazing Sun Knights, a total of 25,000 high elf troops, this is air supremacy, appearance, skills and aura. The Federation army, which consisted of a part of the defenders, mercenaries and adventurers of Black Mancheng, plus a certain number of emigrant conscripts, had a total number of sixteen thousand, and also had the establishment of the thirteenth army of the Federation, which could be regarded as the Central Army; A few hundred of them are battle mages, which can be regarded as occult leaders of the coalition forces.

The above three are considered first-class powers, and they have the greatest right to speak in the coalition forces, and they can probably call themselves the "Royal Three" or something.

In addition, from the countries of the Black Earth Hills and the Dragonclaw Peninsula, a total of more than 60,000 troops were gathered. In addition to the black soil hills south of Black Man City and the Dragon Claw Peninsula, its total area is already two-thirds the size of Auckland, but there are more than 30 independent countries of all sizes, and its national strength can naturally be imagined. However, despite this, in the ancient mythological era, the Nerwa people used this as a base to fight a guerrilla war with the Golden King for N years, and the fierceness of their folk customs can be imagined.

The history of the peninsula and the hills has also seen a long period of war, and the Stop-and-Go is a small warring state, but it has never been able to produce an overwhelming power - of course, from the perspective of conspiracy theories, neither Auckland nor the more recent Twilight Isle High Elves can allow a great power to emerge here.

However, in the end, there were still some famous watchmen in these small countries.

Among them, the most famous and capable are the giant shield crossbowmen of the Kingdom of Milan, the foot knights of the Kingdom of Rostock, and the highland halberdiers and highland knights of the High Court Kingdom. Coupled with the reinforcements sent by the newly established Henas Blood Kingdom, it formed the second echelon of the coalition army...... Well, it can probably be called the "Four Heavenly Kings" or something, right?

In short, the coalition forces of various countries, plus the troops that maintain supplies, add up to a large group that has always been huge, and it is not wrong to claim to be an army of 200,000.

"The delegates of all countries considered themselves to have made the greatest contribution...... And indeed, although our army and the elves confronted the orcs on the front line of the Mubohair River, it was everyone who saw that the outposts, fortresses, and guerrillas left behind by the orcs in the giant field were completely cleared and kept our supply lines open. In order to win the war, the Kingdom of Gaoting fought on the front line throughout the Necromantic War, and all adult males in the country continued to be mobilized. In order to support the front, the kingdoms of Rostock and Milan emptied almost all the grain and gold coins in the treasury. The Duchy of Wicker and the Duchy of Hilminster even had royal families killed in battle. I really can't do it if I want to satisfy everyone impartially. Speaking of which, Artoria, who was strong and unwinkable in front of people, showed a frank and fragile wry smile in front of Lu Xi: "I have racked my brains to let everyone work hard for victory, and not to fight privately because of the grabbing of land." Lu Xi, I really lack leadership like this, am I really qualified to lead this empire in the future? ”

"These countries have even beaten out their dog's brains in their own acres and three-thirds of land, which can be regarded as a feud. Isn't that a sign of leadership that you've been so honest during your tenure? ”

"But, but ......"

"Left and right are just a matter of the distribution of new land. But don't they know how such an enclave can be effectively governed across a federal black man's territory and Mount Namoa? The reason why they do not back down from each other is simply that they do not want other countries to take advantage. Lu Xi smiled: "Since that's the case, then don't ask anyone, wouldn't it be good?" ”

"Lu, Lu Xi...... Are you this? "If it weren't for the fact that the other party was indeed Lu Xi, Artoria would have thought that the other party was talking nonsense, right? You know, in this era, for most knight lords, the territory that can be expanded is the most valuable spoils of war. Otherwise, is there anything good about beating orcs? Do you expect to be able to squeeze other oil and water out of the hands of this group of poor and white tribes? In addition, compared to the barren Orgrimmar Great Wasteland, the Chaos Giant Field is already a rare "fertile land" north of Mount Namoa, even if it is not as good as the Great Lakes Territory, but at least it is better than nothing.

"So, I think it's necessary to teach the delegates of the nations a lesson. To obtain the benefit of a piece of land, it is not necessary to have sovereignty over the territory. Lu Xi picked up a thick stack of documents from the side, and the first page read, "Shelving disputes, joint development".

"Uh, it seems a little dangerous!" Lu Xi smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly took out a pen to scratch this line of words, and changed it to "Welcome to do it, the fee is preferred!" ”

"So, what does that mean?"

"As far as I know, the Chaos Giant Wasteland is located in the area of Heitong Ridge, a branch of Mount Namoya, and there are quite a large number of Qiyao ore veins, as well as a large amount of iron ore and copper ore, but it is a place to establish an industrial base." Lu Xi touched his chin, looked at the ignorant knight princess in front of him, and was moved for a moment, so he couldn't help but hold her Rouyi, put it on his lips and kissed it.

"Lu Xi, you, you, you...... Even if you want to do something, you have to finish discussing the business! And, and it's going to have to be talked about in the evening! ”

I'm not ready to do anything yet! It's yours to think of it, Artoria...... Well, if I had pointed it out so directly, this girl would have wanted to thank herself directly. As soon as he thought of this, Lu Xi showed a rather subtle expression, looking at each other with a smile, until he saw that the knight princess's face was almost bloodshot, and then he said, "Artoria, do you have any private money in your hand?" I have a little bit of a small investment here, are you interested? ”
