Chapter 504: Witch Army
Having just returned to Bobohua City, he had been dealing with all sorts of things all day, and now Higg could finally stop, and it was late at night.
The message that Sirika brought to him shocked him the most, it was likely to solve the threat to the north of the Fifth Legion in one fell swoop, and solve the worries of the Fifth Legion in the south to conquer Arad. More importantly, by solving the threat of the Alchemy Country, the Ural Grand Canyon was liberated, and the land supply channel of the Fifth Army was reopened, and the materials of the grassland or the materials of the Mizusawa Country could be continuously transported from the Ural Grand Canyon. In addition to the grassland trade routes of the Harandor Clan, now there is a more powerful help from the Witch Clan, both militarily and materially, it is much stronger than the Harandor Clan, and the materials needed by the Fifth Legion for the war can finally be solved!
Originally, Higg also planned to take action against the barbarians first, relying on strong military strength to drive the barbarian army's army out of the Ural Grand Canyon, but this would make the Fifth Legion suffer heavy losses, and at most it would be a warning to the barbarian country, and it could not cure the threat from the north. Iona is indeed empathetic, and as soon as she makes a move, she solves Higg's most head-scratching problem.
Higg really didn't think about how to deal with the 200,000 troops who were about to be trapped in the Ural Grand Canyon, the enemy must have to fight the trapped beasts, and the three fortresses are likely to be fiercely attacked by the 200,000 troops, as for which fortress it is, it is difficult to say, as long as it can withstand several waves of attacks from these 200,000 people, the enemy will naturally be discouraged, and then he can really occupy the initiative in the battle.
"Aren't you going to explain something to me?" Blue Fairy smiled and asked Higg, "Your experience in the Witch Clan doesn't seem to be as simple as you described earlier, do you have any deals with the Witch Clan, and why are they so eager to help you?" If it was just a brimstone ring, wouldn't it be like this? ”
"This ...... The experience in the Endless Swamp...... Indeed...... It's hard to put into words, I'm also a witch! As for the matter with Iona, Delonso was supposed to be present and said that the atmosphere could be eased, but now, the unprepared Higg could only face it alone, so he could only be ruthless and said, "I married Iona, the elder of the witch clan!" ”
"Marriage?" Blue Fairy glared and asked in surprise, "Yourself and Iona?" ”
"Yes!" Higg smiled bitterly, "I would have made this matter clear to you when I came back, but you were in labor at the time, so it was inconvenient to say it, Master Delonso knew about it, and he was still a witness!" ”
"Nonsense!" Lan Xian'er said angrily, "It's only been ten days since I went to the territory of the witch clan, and I have been involved in a family, what is this called?" They coerced you, what did you fall for them? ”
"Hehe, do you think I look like someone who will be coerced?" Higg shook his head and said with a dejected expression, "Actually, they accidentally fell for their former elder Haines, who knew that the customs of the witch clan were like this!" ”
Higg had to tell Blue Fairy everything about his encounter in the Endless Swamp, without concealing it, his marriage to Iona was an unintentional mistake, and Haynes was almost forced to die, so it was difficult for him to ride a tiger. However, Higg himself couldn't say clearly, if there was no factor in Haynes, let him choose, whether he would marry Iona, he himself was also very confused.
"Hehe, what a marriage!" Blue Fairy smiled, "I'll just ask you, do you have feelings for Iona?" ”
"Feelings? …… This ......" Higg never seemed to ask himself such a question from the bottom of his heart, Lan Xian'er suddenly asked like this, he could only shake his head and say, "I can't say it clearly!" ”
"That's what you have!" Lan Xian'er became depressed and said, "Even if it was an unintentional mistake before, now there are feelings!" I'm not an uncivilized person, the help of the witch clan is indeed good for us, and I can see that Iona is really good for you, I said, this is your luck, I will not stop it! ”
"Lan Xian'er, you know, the relationship between me and you is incomparable to anyone!" Lan Xian'er didn't turn her face or make trouble, so Sigsong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What I said is definitely not against my will, in front of Iona, I also said so, but she said she didn't care!" “
"Say no more!" Lan Xian'er threw herself into Higg's arms with tears, she knew what kind of person her husband was, even herself, the marriage with Higg, had a certain premeditated plan in it, what right did she have to accuse others and blame her own man, as long as he didn't leave him, he still pretended to be himself in his heart, this was enough, her man was destined to be an extraordinary person, and it was impossible for her to prevent this marriage that would be beneficial to both parties, "I won't stop you, but I need time to accept it!" Didn't you agree to meet with fifty merchants in Fuxing City, I will meet you on your behalf, I haven't been back to Fuxing City for a long time, just right, also help form a council, someone must preside over it! ”
"You're leaving?" Higg asked, surprised.
"What if I don't leave, we once said that we will never be separated again, but our real days are less together and more separated!" Lan Xian'er sighed and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that all of your women are too good, and I will become a person who eats idle meals and annoys people!" ”
……
Two days ago it was a lively crowd, but now there is no one left in Higg except Lufasi, and Delonso remains in the Valley of Flowers; Nicole returned to the Alchemy Country; Daniel went to the witch's barracks; Blue Fairy took Noah and Jesse back to Fuxing City with Charlie; Sindorf returned to the Dragon Cliff Forbidden Area, Thomas and Butterfly Caiyun returned to Harlando, and Simak and the others returned to camp...... Almost overnight, Higg was alone again.
……
More than 20 kilometers west of the Jersey Fortress in Mizusawa Province is the military camp of Iona's 150,000 troops.
Although the witch's military camp is claimed to be 150,000, it does not refer to the 150,000 witch clan, but the 150,000 creature army led by the witch clan, including 40,000 lizard shooters, 70,000 dragon flies, 30,000 monitor lizards, 5,000 flying dragons, 30 hydra basilisks, plus 5,000 witch clan leaders, with a total strength of 150,000.
The Witch Clan is indeed much deeper than the Beast Tamer in the Mizusawa Country, although the Beast Tamer is in charge, but the main troops led by it are the first-level werewolves, the second-level lizardmen, the third-level dragon flies and the fifth-level brute bulls, these low-level troops, and the heavyweight troops are mainly controlled by the witch clan. But the power structure of the witch clan, especially the separation of men and women, leads to the loose cohesion of the tribe, low efficiency, although they control the powerful troops, but they have not formed a strong combat power, and have been suppressed by other tribes, they have perfect communication with ancient creatures, and have the oldest and most primitive troops, but they have almost disappeared in Middle-earth, without any sense of existence, mixed like this, this is indeed depressing and worrying enough!
Although the witch clan is already a mixed sex population, the person in power is still a woman, and this semi-primitive state of matriarchal society that has survived to this day is accustomed to the witch clan, and no one has raised any objections. Although such an ethnic structure can form a stable tribal form around women, women are relatively conservative and short-sighted by nature, and do not have the advantages of men's innovation, adventure, and enterprising, so that the witch clan is at peace with the situation and gradually detached from the times.
Although Daniel returned to the witch clan as the son of a saint, on the surface he was greatly respected by the witch clan, but he himself still had a low status, for the witch clan, the status of women and men is like the nobility and commoners of other countries, deep-rooted traditions, women with their innate status advantage, in the eyes of the heart look down on men, even the Wanbang Festival, the Thousand States Festival such a party, can only be women take the initiative, men can generally only be obedient, although the number of women and men is basically the same, But he has mastered most of the resources of the witch clan.
The economic base determines the superstructure, and it is simply impossible to try to change the ideology of the witch people, especially the women's camp as the ruling class, who cannot easily share the resources in their hands with men. For example, although men and women are now mixed, and most of the young people have formed a new family in line with the ideas of the rest of the world in Middle-earth, it is still the woman who has the final say in this family. The family is the foundation of the country, and the basic family is like this, how can the country change the situation of yin and yang? The building is built from the bottom to the top layer by layer, and if you don't build the first and second floors, lay the foundation and want to build the third floor directly, and the three-year-old child knows that this is simply impossible.
The reason why the witch clan is backward is, in the final analysis, because only women are playing a role in the entire clan, and men are just tools and animals, resulting in only half of the strength of the entire witch clan.
Daniel is at a loss for the status quo of the witch clan, and wants to change the social structure of the witch clan, relying on the promulgation of new policies, relying on power to forcibly implement, it will definitely backfire, he is not as ruthless as Nicole, and he uses bloody suppression to complete, he wants to try to use gentle means to gradually change, try to avoid the conflict between the two classes, and then slowly merge together, so that the witch clan forms a strong cohesive group.
It is not easy to change the women of the witch clan, but it is much easier to change the men who are underground in status, Daniel must first let them have the same economic ability as women, so that they can slowly obtain the corresponding social status, close the gap with women, and then slowly transform from material to political power, at least they can compete with women, and they will find ways to carry out political reforms, maybe at that time, there is no need to do these things by themselves, and the men who have status will come naturally, I'll go for it myself!
"Son Daniel, the reform of the witch clan is imminent, and this seat will get straight to the point, I hope you can help us sort out a set of plans as soon as possible!" Iona was very happy about Daniel's arrival in the barracks, and said, "I also know that it was rude to say this when we first met, but I am really anxious, and I can't let the witch clan return to its former glory!" ”
"Elder, I don't know much about the current situation of the witch clan!" Daniel smiled, "I still need to spend some time digging deeper, the witch clan has been suffering for a long time, and we must not rush it, otherwise it will only backfire!" Elders need to be patient, the revival of the witch clan may take decades or even generations of hard work to complete! ”
"That's been too long!" Iona said, "Severe illness with strong medicine, I fully support you!" ”
"The fierce medicine also needs to be able to withstand the body!" Daniel smiled, "I have a big business to introduce to you witch clan now, and the innovation of the witch clan starts with business!" ”
"Business?" Iona was puzzled......
