The Karen Kingdom is now in a period of strong development, and laying a solid foundation is the premise for the future prosperity of the country, if it can live in peace for ten years from now, as long as the class solidification and corruption are not so serious, basically the national capital for the next hundred years can be guaranteed.

But this can only be judged if the dimensional war does not break out, and what Roddy fears most is that Kazvera does not give this world time to react. Now almost every minute and every second is won by him and the dragon clan. If the demons succeed in invading and launching a large-scale war, the whole world will be purged like the Black Death-stricken Europe, and how many people will be left is another matter.

Out of an abundance of caution, Roddy intends to take a serious account of the orc's movements - he writes specifically to Sodrore, and the purpose is naturally not only to the orcs, but to establish a "military base" further afield.

This sounds a bit like what hegemonic powers on Earth often do, but in fact, it is actually a better choice for the Karen Kingdom in the current era of military transcendence.

Although the level of military force of those small countries in the east is not high, their population and resources are not weaker than those in the southeast of the Karen Kingdom due to climate and geographical conditions... That is, the previous level of the royal area.

Direct aggression is naturally easy to provoke a backlash from other countries, but under the pretext of eliminating orcs and taking the opportunity to set up "sentry posts" or even cultivate puppet regimes, and then directly absorb resources from these countries, release inflationary pressures, and so on, it is naturally no problem.

The only prerequisite is that the current regime guarantees stability.

Roddy was stunned, because he was not a clever politician, let alone a "politician", but in this position, thinking about these things was not something he was passionate about.

"Do you need to get pen and paper now?"

Camila asked, and Roddy shook his head: "I'll talk about it in the evening, I'll write it when I go back." ”

Seeing that he was a little tired, Camila whispered, "Do you think it's hard to deal with?"

"It's just that sometimes I think it's meaningless, don't look at the fact that we have airplanes and cannons, and the support of the dragons, but in the final analysis, these wars with demons are no different from the motives of animals fighting for territory..."

Luo Di sighed helplessly: "If you can live without eating, who cares about these things, but some things just can't be helped." ”

He turned his gaze to the screen in front of him and said in a low voice, "These qualities that demons are showing now actually show that they are not higher beings than humans, and even inferior to humans in some aspects. It should be more like an ant colony or a swarm, as the head of the existence can command everything, and the low-level individuals firmly guard their posts, and carry out orders when they receive them..."

These are not only the conclusions obtained from observing Talia, but also the results of the current research on demons by dragons and mages, because of several consecutive invasions, there are not many demons who have entered the plane and been captured alive, and the habits and weaknesses of demons have gradually been explored over time.

Camila raised her eyebrows, "But it sounds like it's much more powerful than humans." After all, our military can't be as nearly 100% executable as ants or bee colonies. ”

Mutinies and demoralization can lead to defeat, but this problem does not seem to exist in the demon's mind.

"In the age of cold weapons, it is indeed strong, just like the undead troops of Tasman, the endless tactics of the sea of people can drown everything. But... The disadvantages of this method are also obvious - when we are fighting, the death of the commander will affect the morale, but through certain means, there is always a spare commander who can stand up and rely on various ways to stabilize morale and continue to carry out orders. But the devil is completely different... As long as a team leader is killed, then the subordinates under its control will be completely in a state of chaos, and even cannibalism is possible. ”

Camila didn't speak, and after a long time, she said, "I'm afraid that after they realize such a weakness, they will gradually overcome it." ”

Roddy gestured to Taria on the screen, "That's why we need her." ”

And Talia, who was pointed, naturally did not realize what was happening in the outside world.

She was now walking on the hills of the village of Berg, carrying a rattan basket in her hand. Nafi, who was beside him, was carrying a blanket and asked curiously, "Why did you think of an outing?"

"Things have finally been busy lately, and while Master Ethan is away, why don't we take a break?"

Taria walked relaxedly, she was dressed in a brown linen robe, her long hair was scattered, and she stopped when she found a slightly higher terrain: "It's here, the scenery is good." ”

"Willing to go out on an outing, it's not like you're used to it. ”

Nephi spread the blanket on the floor, and Talia placed the rattan basket in her hand and began to bring out all kinds of food from it—not the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but the simplest cheeses, breads, sausages, and fruits.

"Phew, staying in the magic tower all day, I feel like I'm going to get moldy. ”

Tarya smiled and set the food, then even took out two clay cups from the rattan basket and poured them with water.

This is obviously a style that only aristocratic ladies can have, Nafei couldn't help but be dumbfounded, took the water cup, glanced left and right, and suddenly said: "Now that there is no one around, do you have something to say?"

Tariya nodded, she leaned over to Nefi's side, and whispered, "I can always hear that voice in the magic tower recently, so I want to verify whether it will only appear in the magic tower and whether it will be blocked outside." ”

After saying that, she raised her hand to remove a leaf from Nafi's hair, and her movements were natural, because she was close, and when Nefi turned her face sideways, she seemed to be only a few centimeters away from her.

Taria didn't realize that there was anything wrong with this, as she and Nephie had become friends almost everywhere these days, and their relationship was much closer than before.

"Isn't it getting better? Let's see if there will be a difference here. Wouldn't it be better when you're feeling more relaxed?"

"I don't know, I always feel like there's no pattern at all—"

Taria was stunned as she spoke, and her whole body froze there like a sculpture, and it took a few seconds before she was shocked. His voice trembled, "Here we go again... This voice always asks me to learn dimensional spells, as if that thing is important..."

"Last time it was a circle node, this time it's a plane spell..."

Seeing her pale face, Nephi knew that Talia was indeed afraid, and reached out to stroke her back, Nephie continued, "Could it be that you have some idea in your heart that you want to achieve a certain goal all the time?"
