Bai Qi cleared his throat and waited for a moment before he said slowly, "First of all, we need to figure out why the trolls, who had never been interested in the war between humans and orcs before, suddenly joined this war?" ”

The commander of the Second Legion, General Bruce, was a small old man with gray hair and wrinkles on his face, but no one dared to underestimate this great warrior who had entered his twilight years, he was the best commander in Leoni except for the Archons, and he was also the military representative of the Cilin family, the second highest family in Leony City.

Bruce's background is somewhat similar to Bai Qi at this time, he is also a civilian, relying on superb martial arts and military exploits to climb to a high position, and then married the eldest daughter of the previous head of the Xilin family, that is, the aunt of the current high priest of Leoni City, and won the support of the Xilin family, and held the second position of the commander of the Second Legion, the second position of the Leony City military for decades, and was the most decorated general in Leoni City.

General Bruce, like the Archon, did not say a word in the discussion just now, and it was not until Bai Qi finished saying this that he raised his head for the first time.

Bruce looked at Bai Qi with his deep gray eyes and asked, "Could it be that Lord Lucas already knows the reason why the Troll Tribe is at war?" ”

Bai Qi said: "No, I don't know the reason why the Troll Tribe participated in the war, but I know the reason why the Troll Tribe did not participate in the war before. ”

Without waiting for Bruce to ask, he continued: "The reason why the orcs attacked us is because there is a relative shortage of food in the barren orc grassland, whenever there is a natural disaster, the orcs who can't get enough food, in order to avoid cannibalism, will launch an attack on the human territory, if they can break through the human defense, they can enter the human territory to plunder, even if they fail, they can consume the orc population and reduce the internal survival pressure." ”

"And the reason why the troll tribes weren't interested in this kind of war before was because the rich dark forest was enough to feed them."

"The Orcs have breached our defenses in the Arare Valley several times. Entering the realm of the humans, they retreated to the orc steppes after each raid. ”

"The reason why the orcs are not interested in our land is because of the moisture of the Salo River. A large part of the human territory is covered by forests, which is not an ideal land for the orcs who are accustomed to a nomadic life, and they have no interest in gnawing down dozens of human fortified cities for a piece of land that is not ideal. ”

"But what about trolls who are good at fishing and hunting? The desert forest on the south bank of the Sara River was a rich forest no worse than the dark forests of their homeland. ”

"Whatever the trolls are suddenly fighting for. It is predictable that once these strong monsters enter the territory of humans, they will not leave as easily as the orcs. ”

"Due to the obstruction of the Arare Mountains, although the land on the north bank of the Sara River is rich, it is too narrow after all, so the future development space of our human beings must be on the south bank of the vast Sara River. Once the trolls have taken root on the South Shore and mastered the shipbuilding skills that are no weaker than ours, will we humans be able to compete with this strong species in the future? ”

Bai Qi's words made the elders look at each other in shock, and even the Archon and General Bruce, who had always been as steady as Mount Tai, couldn't help but show a solemn look.

These natives may not be inferior to Bai Qi in wisdom, but when it comes to the big picture. Having been baptized by the explosion of modern knowledge and having read countless history books, Bai Qi is undoubtedly more clever than these narrow-minded natives, and even wise men like the Archon and General Bruce are inferior to him in this regard.

For the first time, the Archon sat up straight and asked with a solemn expression, "Then what is your best solution to the current predicament?" ”

Bai Qi said categorically: "The trolls must not be allowed to gain access to Sassen's shipbuilding skills!" ”

"If the trolls have shipbuilding skills that are not weaker than ours, even if this time we keep the combined forces of orcs and trolls out of the Arare defense line, in the future, the wide and gentle Suluo River will sooner or later become a smooth road for the trolls, relying on strong bodies and strong individual combat power, we will not be able to resist the troll fleet on the water. They can come in whenever they want. ”

"And if the trolls can't get our shipbuilding skills, then even if we can't stop the combined forces of the trolls and orcs this time, the result will be nothing more than a flip board for countless previous orc wars. When the orc steppes are in good shape and the orc armies are withdrawn from human territory, sooner or later we will be able to drive the trolls to their hometowns. ”

General Bruce asked, "But the scoundrel Saxon has entered the territory of the trolls, how can we stop the devil from selling his shipbuilding skills to the trolls?" ”

Bai Qi said: "We are all well aware of the dangers of Sasen, and I think this cunning scoundrel is equally aware of his value to trolls. ”

"The mighty trolls don't care about the slightest bit of force in Sassen, or the hundred or so water thieves that Sassen has brought with him. But there must be a desire for his shipbuilding skills. ”

"I don't think the ambitious Lord Saxon would be willing to be a low-status shipbuilder in the troll tribe, so he will definitely not hand over his shipbuilding skills to the trolls."

"So, the only way we can do it now is to kill Sassen before he hands over his shipbuilding skills!"

As soon as Bai Qi's words fell, the archon slapped the arm of the chair fiercely and said, "That's right, this is the only way now!" ”

"But who can sneak into the depths of the troll tribe and assassinate Sassen? It's almost an impossible task. ”

Bai Qi immediately stepped forward and said in an impassioned voice: "I! Your Excellency, I am willing to go, even if I can't succeed, I think there are warriors in our human race, and they must be willing to use their lives to maintain the inheritance of our human race and the dawn of our human civilization! ”

Listening to Bai Qi say this, the leaders of the space team who had already obtained the status of a veteran still didn't understand what Bai Qi meant.

Sure enough, as Bai Qi's words fell, the consul stood up from his seat violently, walked down the high platform in two steps, grabbed Bai Qi's hand, raised it high, and shouted: "Who is Leony's most heroic warrior!" ”

"Lucas! Lucas! The indigenous patriarchs shouted.

The call is getting louder and louder, and it is becoming more and more fanatical, which is the expectation and call of human beings to heroes in times of crisis.

The Archon waved his hand, suppressed the fanatical calls of the people, turned to Bai Qi and said, "If you can really bring back Sasen's head, then I will mention you to become the first Archon of Blackwater City!" ”

The archon's promise made all the native senators breathe faster, but a few of them smiled playfully.

Even Bai Qi himself almost couldn't help but smile bitterly, the first archon of Blackwater City meant the strong rise of a powerful family to the natives, but it was worthless to the space soldiers who would leave sooner or later.

However, Bai Qi quickly adjusted his mood, showing a look of fanatical eagerness, and then just the right amount of hesitation and struggle, and finally it seemed that faith had triumphed over greed, and he said to the archon: "My lord, I think you should join forces with other city-states to issue a mission to hunt down Sassen, and take the position of the first consul of Blackwater City as a reward, I think, there will be many warriors who are willing to sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths." ”

Hearing this, the consul glanced at Bai Qi deeply, obviously moved by Bai Qi's selflessness, although this task seemed almost impossible to complete, but the consul believed that with Bai Qi's cleverness, since he had taken over this task, he must be somewhat sure, but Bai Qi took the initiative to give him the reward that the consul promised him as a reward, which was undoubtedly a noble act of wholeheartedly considering mankind.

Compared to the touching of the natives, the space soldiers standing in the back row couldn't help but roll their eyes, and some even couldn't help but want to give the middle finger to this guy.

It may seem that the position of Archon of Blackwater City is more attractive to the natives, but in reality, it is only the Space Soldiers who will take on this task.

First of all, there is a prerequisite for this task, that is, it is necessary to have its own private fleet, and the indigenous families who own private fleets are at least middle nobles, for these nobles, the position of the first archon of Blackwater City, although tempting, is still disproportionate to the risks and rewards compared to assassinating a powerful great samurai on the territory of a troll tribe.

And ordinary civilian warriors simply can't have a ship capable of breaking through the blockade of the troll fleet.

Although the first consul of Blackwater City is worthless to the space soldiers, as long as the space enacts the task, even if there is no reward, the space soldiers will desperately complete it.

Next, the process of the Senate was abruptly accelerated, and the Senators unanimously agreed to Baiqi's response plan as quickly as possible, and then the Senate passed a resolution appointing General Bruce as the commander of the front line and going to the Arare River Valley to take command.

What made Bai Qi depressed and puzzled was that until the end of the Senate, he had not received any tasks related to the assassination of Captain Sasen.

After returning to the merchant city-state and consulting with Adrian, he realized that the reason why he did not receive the task was probably because of the balance mechanism of the system.

In some serial tasks, there are always some people who are ahead of the curve because they are ahead, at this time, the system will use some measures to adjust the pace of the leader, try to let everyone return to the same starting line, however, the system will convert the leader's lead into the task evaluation.

This made Bai Qi a little depressed, he originally planned to rely on this lead and set off first with the team that stayed in Leoni City, in order to avoid the tigers who were still fighting in Blackwater City.

But think about it, the balance of the system also makes sense, and the tiger is lagging behind not because of his strength, but because they are assigned to inland cities, and it is undoubtedly unfair to fall behind in key tasks because of this.

Just because they can't get a task ahead of time doesn't mean they can't prepare in advance. (To be continued.) )xh118R1052
