At the beginning of human migration to the world of Eden, key resources such as energy and metals came from immigrant ships, and later more and more human settlements and cities began to be established, and the demand for energy and metals was also in short supply, although human exploration many times, no fossil energy was found in this world, and all kinds of metal deposits were also scarce and terrible. Without the two foundations of energy and metals, the development of human civilization has come to a standstill.

It was at this dark hour that two mutant tribes were discovered, and humanity saved itself once again with the power of the wisdom of the crowd.

The Dryads were one of the mutant tribes at the time.

The ancestors of the Dryads crashed into a vast forest with the ship's shattered chamber, and they were a group of people who had not received any survival training, and after ten days of painful survival, everyone unanimously decided to stop any active survival and let the survival genes in their bodies make the choice.

After a horrific near-death experience, they were given a new lease of life, but when they saw their new appearance, they committed suicide twice - they couldn't accept that they had become monkeys.

But most people accepted the reality and eventually survived and developed their own civilization.

Dryads' villages and cities are built on trees, which are called sacred trees by the Dryads.

The state of the sacred tree is somewhat similar to that of the banyan tree on earth, but it is much larger, and the smallest one has ten times the growth of the banyan tree.

In addition to its size, the sacred tree has many magical features: in addition to providing shelter for all kinds of creatures, it can also provide nutritious sap for its occupants, and many of the trace elements needed by living beings come from it.

The fruit of the sacred tree is inedible, but its sturdy shell is rich in metal, up to 30%.

The roots of the dead sacred tree evolve into a crystalline body that chemically releases energy far more powerful than oil and coal.

Due to their unique environment, the Dryads mastered the secrets of the Sacred Tree very early, but as vegetarian and raw food, they were reluctant to build a smelting blast furnace in the forest, and the smelting technology had been slow to develop, but they didn't care until the Dryad tribe was attacked by the Night Demons, and the hunters and middle-aged men suffered heavy losses due to the lack of metal weapons.

Just then, a human expedition found them, provided them with weapons, and sent volunteers to form an army to repel the night demon attack.

In view of the Dryad's insistence on no longer building high roads in the forest, which is also a continuation of the concept of "environmental protection" of human beings, the dwarven tribes settled in the mountains took over the construction of blast furnaces; Another group of human volunteers took on the task of excavating the Sacred Tree Crystal, and the city that they would later establish was the Metropolis.

The fruit of the sacred tree is also very interesting, although it is the size of a coconut, it does not have any edible parts. When the tree is ripe, the fruit of the sacred tree will burst in half under the sunlight, and the dandelion-like seeds inside will be scattered by the wind, and they will take root and sprout wherever they fall. It's just that the vast majority of seedlings will not survive the first three years of the growth period until they have a chance to grow alone and become the king of greenery.

And where the sacred tree grows, the hard shell of the fruit has local geological characteristics.

Perhaps traces of the Normans can be found here.

The Dryads set out again to find the Sacred Tree, and Irina sent out an investigation to get Fort to do a geological analysis of the metal that made the battle robots, which was not easy, but Irina persuaded the higher-ups of Fort to facilitate the analysis.

The initial reconnaissance of the Dryads went well, bringing back a number of samples that were sent back to Fort Town to be compared with the combat robot's geological analysis. At the same time, the base camp launched a diplomatic strategy against the city-state alliance in order to seek continued support.

Major Titanium happily submitted a special reconnaissance for Ah Jun

The attack plan showed superb tactical ability, and Ah Jun was also very interested in it, and overnight he asked a few core personnel to discuss with the military representatives of the city-states who still insisted on staying in the base camp.

At this time, the people who were still willing to stay in the base camp were the most tenacious people, but they were powerless to change the status quo, so they were very depressed, and a reconnaissance attack plan at this time was very exciting.

But in terms of the tactical division of labor, the gang quarreled again.

Because the tactics were developed by Major Titanium, all the tactical moves were made around the fighters and equipment of the steel city-state, which caused dissatisfaction among the representatives of the other city-states, after all, the steel city-state was the first to retreat, and there was also a suspicion of collusion with the Normans.

As a result, the representative of the Dryad proposed that this reconnaissance/attack plan should be carried out by the representative of the Dryad, and that it was not the first time that the Dryad tribe had become the savior of humanity anyway;

The speech of the representative of the tree elves caused the ridicule of several representatives of the city-state with humans as the main body: At that time, you were all about to be eaten by the night demons, but it was we who saved you, and the smelting and trade system that was established afterwards, so that you existed as a city-state.

The representative of the tree elves immediately retorted, because this was not a meeting of the city-state alliance, and everyone had some military background, so they almost staged a full military parade in a row.

This is the reason why Ah Jun never takes the initiative to participate in politics, whether it is a quarrel like a martial artist, or a honey-bellied sword in a suit and leather shoes, it is not as comfortable as being a happy bounty hunter.

However, everyone has their own reasoning, when it comes to fighting jungle warfare, the tree elves naturally have a unique physique and experience, but if it is really a field battle, it has to rely on the iron city-state who is usually a poor soldier.

Ah Jun couldn't stand the quarrel at the venue, so he simply slipped away quietly. And those delegates quarreled for a while before they found out that the convener of the meeting, the field commander of the base camp, had disappeared, so they unified one piece and sent someone out to find Ah Jun.

Ah Jun just came out to hide from Qingjing, of course, he didn't go far, turned around two vacant mortar positions, and found him.

Back in the conference room, Ah Jun said to the delegates, "If everyone is done arguing, can we talk about something serious?" ”

Everyone nodded, and Ah Jun sighed: "It's really tiring to talk to you, so I can't talk about things at the beginning, I have to quarrel for a while to warm up." ”

Everyone laughed self-deprecatingly, and the representative of the Ark Alliance said, "Although it is noisy, I think it is better than in our city-state council, and everyone else is attacking in one direction." ”

His words caused another burst of laughter, but it was also true, the attack was to face the artillery fire, and it was a sacrifice. The multitude of delegates vying for the right to sacrifice for their city-state race is barely visible even at the meetings of the most sane city-state allies.

Seeing that everyone was not arguing, Ah Jun said aloud: "Since everyone agrees to start talking about the right thing, then I will talk about it first, and then the representatives of each city-state will propose the tasks they receive according to their own characteristics, and don't ignore the actual situation, and promise the tasks that they are not suitable for for the sake of a little racial face." We're facing the most formidable enemy of the immigrants this time, even more dangerous than the night demons, and our every move is at stake for the fate of the entire city-state and even humanity, so now is not the time to be on the spur of the moment. ”

Everyone is the only one.

Ah Jun said: "I have to say here that the Tree Elf tribe is one of the most resolute city-states this time, and in the forest, they are the best scouts, but their body structure is not suitable for field attack, so it is more appropriate to position it as tactical reconnaissance, sniping, search, rescue and other tasks in the forest, what do your representatives think?" ”

The representative of the Dryad immediately expressed his willingness to accept the mission, and he himself would immediately request to the clan after the meeting to redeploy a reconnaissance battalion to the side of the base camp, along with a full-time detachment of jungle snipers in place. However, he finally shyly suggested that the military industry of the Dryads had always been in a backward state among many city-states, and because of their belief in the principle of peace, their army was actually equivalent to a police force, lacking long-range weapons and long-range precision sniper weapons and observation equipment.

Ah Jun said: "Who can solve the equipment problem of the tree elf tribe?" ”

The representative of the metropolis immediately said: "Our metropolis is a commercial city, the logistics are developed, and we can solve some of the equipment that the Dryad brothers need. ”

But the representative of the Ark Alliance immediately smiled and said: "Forget it, the weapons that circulate through foreign trade are actually second-rate weapons." Although the military industry of our city-state is not as good as that of the steel city-state, it is also self-contained, and some precision weapons are also very well worked. Instead, I would suggest a major refurbishment of the base camp and the replacement of all the weapons and equipment of our city-state, which would reduce the pressure on training and logistics. ”

Ah Jun smiled: "None of these things are free. ”

The representative of the Ark Alliance smiled and said: "Well, we will provide some free equipment, and we can negotiate a system to solve it by commercial exchange." After all, everyone is just the scale of a city-state, and if you really want to post resources here, no one can afford it. ”

The representative of the Metropolis also smiled and said, "If you want to do business, even if we are the Metropolis, there is no business that your Ark Alliance can do, and you are super good at doing war-related business, let's just say forty years ago......"

As soon as he mentioned forty years ago, Ah Jun saw that the face of the representative of the agriculture and forestry city-state was not good-looking, after all, the two families had old grievances, not to mention the sequelae, even if the sequelae still existed now. So Ah Jun quickly diverted the topic and said: "Actually, I think that as a member of our city-state alliance, and we are dealing with the same threat together, of course, dedication, sacrifice and dedication are indispensable, but if we can really establish a system and realize the replacement of goods, it can indeed reduce the economic pressure of each city-state to the greatest extent." ”

Representatives of the Ark Alliance and the Metropolis said almost simultaneously, "Then let's plan this system." ”

After saying that, both sides laughed. Ah Jun was very happy to see that he didn't quarrel because of these interest disputes this time.

At this time, Irina said: "Then it is better to set up a committee, but in this case, it will have to be reviewed and approved by the highest authority of the city-state of the representatives, but let's talk about this next, today we will mainly talk about tactical distribution." ”

The representative of the Ark Alliance said: "In this way, we can also make a little contribution to the Alliance, and I can promise here to provide a batch of drones for the Dryad Brothers, and train operators for free, so as to improve the Dryad Brothers' reconnaissance strength and reduce the risk." ”

The representative of the tree elf was immediately moved, or at least it seemed like this.

Sure enough, the representative of the Ark Alliance proposed that after the reconnaissance data of the drone was used, its ownership would belong to the Ark Alliance.

Sure enough, it's the true nature of a businessman!
