For the fall of the elven kingdom, in addition to the Perus Empire, the major forces in the Arad continent ...... Nations, including the Void Ancestors, the Bantu Clan, the Principality of Belmar, and the Dark Elf Kingdom, generally have a sympathetic attitude.

After all, the threat of the Perus Empire is like a thorn in the back, and no one can guarantee whether they are the next elven country, so it is inevitable that there is a kind of mentality of rabbit death and fox sadness.

And the reputation of the elves is still very good!

In the eyes of many people, the elves are rich in artists and philosophers, and they are very good at studying dance, poetry, musical instruments, literature, and sculpture, but they have no research on warfare. What's more, fertility is low, depression is common, and there are episodes of seclusion.

To put it simply, humans and animals are harmless and pose no threat to anyone – and even if they are left unattended, they may be killed by low fertility.

Just ask, such weakness can be bullied...... No, it's a kind and kind race, who wouldn't love it?

In the wolf-filled Arad continent, who doesn't want their neighbors to be as friendly as the elves? If everyone becomes so kind as the elves, won't they be able to do whatever they want!?

Isn't it regrettable that such a moral benchmark has disappeared?

What's more, the elves are still very good-looking, and when handsome guys and beauties are unlucky, they always make people feel pity.

If a bunch of ugly goblins are unlucky, you see who cares.

Because of this, the evaluation of the elves by the major forces is generally very positive, and when it comes to the elves, they can often associate peace-loving, simple folk customs, advocating nature, and being good at singing and dancing!

In fact, the elves were not like this at the beginning, when they were strong, they also had a reputation for being brave and good at war, and the sons of the forest.

But then it gradually declined, and when it was abused, it triggered the self-protection mechanism and became simple and able to sing and dance. All in all, the races that are generally associated with being able to sing and dance have nothing to do with being able to fight well.

And just when the major forces were leaving crocodile tears for the fall of the elven kingdom, Kalenz, a visitor from outside the world, was sincerely doing things for the elven race.

He bought 200,000 elven slaves in one go!

Why was he able to buy so much?

Because the Perux Empire was a powerful military state, and it was a country with strong feudal remnants, from a very early age, the attitude towards the spoils of war was that the emperor and the front-line soldiers were divided into three or seven. By now, it has basically become a conventional 'ancestral family law', and no one dares to break this convention so far.

So Karenz just spent a lot of money to buy the slaves that belonged to the soldiers, and he didn't touch the seventy percent that belonged to the emperor.

Such a big gesture really alarmed many people, and the emperor of the Perus Empire must have heard about it, and he didn't know what it would be like in his heart.

However, even if he was opposed, he did not dare to express it for the time being, after all, this army was still in the hands of Kazan and Ozma for the time being, and cutting off people's wealth was like killing his parents, and if he blocked the way for the soldiers to make money, his throne would be unstable.

As for why Karenz bought so many elven prisoners of war, of course, it was not really regarded as a luxury, but had another use.

......

White Moon, a secret room.

In the fully enclosed space, the light is bright, and thousands of beams of luster shine through the void, slowly rotating around a figure sitting cross-legged. In the process of rotating, the beam of light gradually shrinks into a series of soft lines, gently and softly intertwined like a swimming fish, forming a delicate golden cocoon.

“......”

Ivan opened his eyes, thunder surged in the depths of his pupils, but the light cocoon on his body quickly faded, and flowing water melted into his body.

"Master, how do you feel now, has the power of the apostle been digested?" Seeing that he woke up, Xiao Xi asked in a low voice.

"It's almost there, what's the matter?" Evan knew that the other party must have something, so he would disturb himself at this time.

"The Duke of Calenc has a situation to report to you. ”

"Just plug it in. ”

"Yes!"

Xiao Xi responded crisply, and a white pillar of light hung down from the center of the ceiling, and countless heterochromatic lines immediately bloomed in the center of the pillar of light, quickly forming a holographic projection of Kalenz.

"Meet Your Majesty!" As soon as he saw Evan, Karenz performed a vassal salute in accordance with the rules of the Empire.

"You and I don't need to see each other, we have something to talk about. Evan sat cross-legged and waved his hand slightly.

"Then I'll get straight to the point. Karenz didn't shirk either, just jumped up the steps, and said with a smile: "The Perus Empire attacked the Elven Realm and won a great victory in less than three weeks. Now that the elven kingdom has been completely destroyed, the elves of the whole country have been taken away as a luxury. ”

"Expected. Evan shook his head, not taking the elves to destroy the country seriously.

"Taking advantage of this elven annihilation, I bought 200,000 prisoners of war from the sergeants of the Perus Empire...... Quite a bit of money was spent. Karenz observed his expression and said cautiously.

"How much did it take?" Ivan instantly caught the point.

"One prisoner of war, one hundred grams of gold. He said with a little weakness.

"Hiss!!"

Evan suddenly gasped, his eyebrows suddenly twisted, and he squeezed out a deep ravine: "Others spend money like running water, you spend money like a flood...... Why do you want to spend so much money on useless elven prisoners of war?

"Back to Your Majesty! Everything is for the benefit of the Far Eastern Alliance!"

Seeing that he was not angry, Karenz suddenly became in a calm mood, and said with a serious expression:

"The struggle between the Far Eastern Alliance and the Kashni Federation on the Arad continent is bound to be a protracted struggle, and if you want to win the hearts and minds of the people of Arad, you must occupy a moral position. Nowadays, the people of the Arad continent are generally sympathetic to the fall of the elven kingdom, and if we can show a kind attitude at this time, we can occupy more friendly points. ”

"Buying these 200,000 prisoners of war is kindness?" Ivan frowned even deeper.

"Not yet! But when the more than half a million elven prisoners of war in the Perus Empire are in their hands and are bought by the Federation to use as tools...... Your Majesty's deeds of treating the elves well will surely become a good deed in the hearts of the people of Arad. The worse the situation of those elves, the higher the image of the Far Eastern Alliance, and the more valuable the money spent to save them!"

"How can you guarantee that the Federation people won't learn from us? When the time comes, I'm afraid it will be compared to the ancestors......" Even after hearing Karenz say this, Ivan's frown tightened and there was still no sign of unfolding.

"Your Majesty, I was originally a member of the Federation, and no one knows the style of the Federation better than me!"

Seeing that he was worried about this, the expression on Karenz's face relaxed a little: "The Federation is a regime kidnapped by capital, what the government says doesn't count, what the capital oligarchy says! In the past, Herder might be able to influence them, but unfortunately now the woman hasn't appeared for a long time, and if she doesn't appear, no one will suppress those oligarchs." 500,000 elf captives, such a huge chain of interests, is enough to make those capital oligarchs make a lot of money...... They will never give up this piece of fat!"

"Let's just sort of a reason. Ivan felt that what he said was reasonable, but it was too subjective, so he just nodded reluctantly.

After perceiving that his answer was not up to the mark, Kalenz hurriedly added: "Your Majesty, don't believe it, the policy lag of the Federation is unimaginable! They are still refusing to give up even human colonies, how can they be kind to a group of elves who have nothing to do with humans? Besides, ...... I bought this batch of elven prisoners of war for two other purposes!"

"Say!" Hearing his thoughts, Ivan's brow finally stretched a little.

"One is for cultural invasion!"

Seeing that his expression was slightly soothing, Karenz was overjoyed and recounted the long-planned thoughts:

"Now that both forces are co-opting the people of Arad, it is basically impossible to invade by force, so we must start from the cultural level and control the minds of the people of Arad! Your Majesty, think about it, if you engage in cultural invasion, aren't the elves the best helpers? They are rich in handsome men and women, have excellent artistic talents, and are the native people of Arad, if they can be the vanguard of cultural invasion in their training ground, they will definitely achieve great results. ”

"Cultural invasion?"

Evan nodded his head again and again, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, and he quickly motioned for him to continue, "Tell me quickly, what are your good ideas?

When it comes to cultural invasion, many people think of it as entertainment products such as movies, games, comics, animations, etc. In fact, these can only be regarded as derivatives, and the real cultural invasion is a universal value that can influence people's ideas and concepts, and has strong persuasive power. For example, socialist ideas, liberal ideas, and ...... Certain religious thoughts. ”

Karenz noticed his state of mind at this time, and said very seriously:

"If universal thought is the backbone, then entertainment products are just side things, and the two complement each other to exert the greatest power. If there are only side incidents, at best, it can incite a few secondary two teenagers, and the destructive power is very limited. If there is only the backbone, it will appear ungrounded, resulting in the inability of the mind to penetrate the people at the bottom.

But if we take a certain universal idea as the backbone, and then add movies, games, animations, comics, and other entertainment products to export to the outside world, we can form a comprehensive coverage from the elite to the bottom, and this is the real cultural invasion!"

Hearing this, how could Ivan still not understand, and looked at him with a solemn face: "You mean to say that you want to export socialist ideas to the Arad Continent?"

"Your Majesty is wise! Menes' truly effective cultural weapon is still the socialist ideology!" Karenz nodded heavily.

"But the trend of thought on the side of the Far Eastern Alliance has just emerged...... At this time, take it out to promote ......" Ivan looked a little hesitant.

The vigorous development of any kind of thinking requires constant trial and error, tinkering, and perfection before it has a chance to develop and mature. If we wait until the socialist ideology develops to maturity and then export it to the outside world, we will have no choice but to miss this opportunity!"

Considering the time constraints, even if Ivan felt a little impatient, he could only agree:

"That's it, and I'll command them to cooperate with you. ”

If you want to invade culture, you can only start from the aspect of universal thought, after all, the Far Eastern Alliance was born in a bitter haha, and it has not been long since it became rich.

Literature, singing and dancing, movies, games and other industries have been completely crushed by the Federation.

If we don't use this magic weapon, we can only wait for the Federation to make mistakes, but the Federation that has suffered so much will continue to make mistakes......

"Your Majesty, the focus is on the elven captives, and raise them to be socialists no matter what!" reminded Kalenz.

"This natural ...... You've thought it through. Ivan nodded, indicating that he understood that the future warriors of Arad would be divided into two camps, socialist men and bourgeois waste, and this scene was also quite interesting.

"In addition to cultural invasion, there is actually another reason why I have invested heavily in elven captives...... For an elf girl. As she spoke, Kalenz held up a color photograph of a young girl imprisoned in an iron cage, none other than Celia, the prophet of the Elven Realm:

"This girl...... She felt very unusual to me. ”

"What's out of the ordinary?" Ivan glanced at the photo, but didn't see anything unusual.

"She gave me a lot of the same way Ozma felt to me...... So I think she's a person to take advantage of. Karenz put away the photo and said with a solemn expression: "A large number of elven prisoners of war are also taken in to bind this woman...... Because as far as I know, she loves her kindred very much, and controlling her kindred is tantamount to controlling her. ”

"Ozma? is the one that Xiao Xi said...... A Golden Descendant with unlimited potential?" Ivan narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said, "In that case, I would like to meet her...... If she really has a lot of potential, I don't mind working with her. ”

"Not yet, because the status of the Elven Prophet is very important, and I need to operate the Perus Empire to rescue her. Karenz said calmly.

"Well, I'll cooperate with you to test the pressure here. ”

"Well, then, I'll take my leave. Karenz stroked her chest and saluted, then took a step back, cutting off the holographic communication.

“......”

In the dark space, only Ivan was left staring at the place where the other party had just disappeared, and after a while, he suddenly burst out laughing: "Sure enough, it didn't disappoint me, Karenz still has a lot of ideas! His operation may be the key to facilitating the Far Eastern Alliance's transition from defense to offense...... A socialist Arad continent is interesting...... It's really fun!"
