Hearing this, Tianxiang couldn't help but have a rather wonderful feeling. With a wave of his hand, he took an open bottle of tuber syrup from the soldier next to him, filled a small transparent glass glass, and went straight to the other party.

"What's your name?"

"Valery, Major General Valery."

"How many people are in your territory?" "How many people ........" The foreign general, who was naked and only dressed in the coat of opinion, smiled bitterly: "All the civilians under my command are here."

"What do you mean?" Tianxiang obviously didn't understand the other party's words.

"They are all the people of my realm. The tens of thousands of people you have taken prisoner before, along with all the soldiers now, are all the inhabitants of my realm. ”

"They。。。。。。。。。。 Not a soldier? "If you take up arms, you are soldiers, and if you lay down your arms, you are people." Valery shook his head helplessly: "You don't know, near the city where we live, there are no large-scale insect swarms. Food sources are quite scarce. If I hadn't been forced to do it, I wouldn't want to have a conflict with you. After all, your strength is too strong。。。。。。 ”

Looking at this burly general with a shiny and slippery face, Tianxiang couldn't help frowning: "Our strength is strong? How do you know? "You've probably forgotten that the hunters are a wandering race." Valery sneered contemptuously: "Where there is food, there are hunters. Where there is danger, hunters will naturally stay away. Naturally, this is where the intelligence of the dragon clan comes from."

"How is this possible?" Tianxiang knew that what the other party said was not wrong. However, it has always been the custom of the dragons not to spare any hunter. If you can annex it, you can annex it, and if you can't annex it, you can save all of them as slaves. Never let a hunter go. This is the most fundamental reason why the dragons have been able to expand dramatically in a short period of time. Therefore, it is really difficult for him to accept the words of this general." I'm telling the truth. "I probably saw the doubts in Tianxiang's heart! Valery smiled, "You may not know that in the ruins of your city's northern border, there used to be some independent individual hunters. Many of them were shot by your men. The remnants of it fled along the desert to my territory. Understand your whole situation from their mouths. Naturally, it's not that hard. ”

"No wonder!" Tianxiang suddenly realized. He finally remembered that when he ordered the Xia Dong troops to guard the location of the "Heavenly Umbrella" three years ago, he had ordered him to kill any stranger who entered this area. "I already knew about the existence of dragons two years ago. At that time, I wanted to start a war, but the advanced weapons and technology you possessed made me finally dismiss this idea. If it weren't for the sudden decrease in food intake due to the mass death of insects during this time, I'm afraid 。。。。。。 There will be no such conflict between us. ”

In Tianxiang's view, the other party's lonely expression was just a contrived one. Of course, he won't be easy until he understands everything. "You said that the civilians we captured were your people. But why do you want to use them as cannon fodder for war, who have almost no combat effectiveness? I'm curious, how did you come up with your plan for attack? "Paralyzing, underestimating the enemy, ignoring the opponent。。。。。。 These are mistakes that must not be made in war. I know from the hunters who surrendered to me that you have a certain number of air forces. The military forces on the ground are also quite strong. There is an underground passage that leads directly to this place from the north, but my army is too numerous. This is the only way I can do this, by putting the inconsequential civilians at the forefront, to confuse your eyes, and to attack the main army while you take them in captivity. With such a plan, the chances of winning will naturally increase greatly. I think you'll have found those forged weapons they're carrying! Tianxiang nodded silently and sighed lightly: "Why do you want to do this? They're your people! Without them, even if you win the war, how will you develop in the future? You can't just rely on the military to catch food? ”

"Absolutely." Valery's answer was completely unexpected: "In fact, those civilians are nothing more than consumables. Their existence does not mean much to the entire ethnic group. "Oh? Why? Tianxiang was a little puzzled.

"Quite simply, in my community, civilians are food for the army. The only value of their existence is to provide the army with the necessary food. When there are a large number of bugs, it is the breeding period of civilians. In the winter when food is scarce, civilians are our best stockpile. The other party's words were brief. But the meaning couldn't be clearer. To put it bluntly, these alien civilians are nothing more than "meat men" in the army's reserves. It's just that they are under the strict supervision of the army, and they do not suffer the punishment that meat people usually have to cut off their hands and feet. Because, for them, running away means an earlier death.

"How can you do that。。。。。。 They...... It's all human! "There's no way, if you don't eat people, you can't feed the army." Valery said helplessly: "It's too cold in the north, and there isn't much to eat. If such a large number of civilians are added, I am afraid that no one will survive. Rather than starving to death together, it is better to ensure the food supply of the army first. In this way, we will also be able to get more food through the war. Ethnic groups can also get the opportunity to reproduce. The bitterness and helplessness of it are unimaginable to those of you who occupy the rich land of the warm region. ”

"You started a war just because of food?" "Isn't that reason enough?"

"As you said, civilians are reserves." But as far as I know, the numbers I have. In this war, you drove at least 100,000 civilians as bait, and all the civilians in your territory. To do so is to throw food into the fire. Haven't you considered that in the event of a war, the gains will outweigh the losses. Is it even a situation where everyone, including you, starves to death? "War is a gamble." Valery replied abruptly: "Using civilians as bait is, to put it bluntly, nothing more than an act of exchanging grain for food." As far as I know, there are at least a few million dragons. As long as you can conquer the dragon territory. A large number of people are the best food. When the time comes, it will not only be beneficial to the civilian population, but will also broaden the food source. What's more, what you're talking about may not exist at all. I have sent someone to investigate your defensive positions in detail. In order to prevent leaks, our scouts even killed all the hunters in the area. A large number of deployed anti-aircraft missiles shot down several of your reconnaissance aircraft in a row. I believe that you have not received any information on this. As for the food supply for the army, then there is even more to worry about. The large number of corpses that died on the battlefield is the best food. Especially the charred corpses that were killed alive by shells. The taste is even more unique. So, all things considered, we were going to win, we weren't going to lose. ”。

"Food-for-food。。。。。。 Well said! Tianxiang sighed and closed his eyes slightly. He really had a hard time accepting the notion of human beings as food. But then again, if things are as they say, then they really have nothing to blame for doing so. After all...... "Why didn't you go on the offensive? Instead stay here all the time? "For a long time. Tianxiang opened his eyes and asked again.

"Do you think I don't want to?" Speaking of this, Valery's emotions suddenly became agitated: "If it weren't for our leader ordering me to collect troops on the spot, I would have captured your city long ago. If that's the case, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the two of us will have to change our current positions as well! ”

"Your chief? Ordered you to collect your troops? Tianxiang Qi said: "Why? "I don't know why." Valery shook his head: "That's what the order says. I had no choice but to stand still. Speaking of which, although we won this battle, we also lost a lot of food. It's really not a good deal. ”

"Now that you've received the order, why don't you retreat right away?" "It's not that I don't want to go, it's that I can't go yet." The general stretched out his broad tongue and licked his somewhat chapped lips: "There are too many dead people in the battle. More than 50,000 civilians, tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides combined。。。。。。 All the corpses were gathered together, almost 100,000 in size. Regardless of if they just walked away。。。。。。 What a waste. ”

"What do you say? Waste? ”

"That's right, even though it's dead, it's still edible." Before the attack, Tianxiang had also had many conjectures about the alien army's immobility. But I never dreamed that the real reason would be like this.

"100,000 people, enough for us to eat until next spring." As if to prove himself right, Valery added: "I only have tens of thousands of soldiers on my hands, and it takes a lot of time to clean up so many corpses. If you just pull them all away, they will rot in no time. So, I had to wash them on the spot and marinate the ripe meat. In this way, it can be stored for a long time and taste much more delicious...... "Looks like you like this kind of food?" Tianxiang didn't express too many opinions, just asked coldly. Of course I do. The general said bluntly: "I don't know if you have tried to use human flesh as a staple food. In fact, human flesh is far more delicious than the meat of other insects. When fresh human flesh is just cut, it has a sticky texture with blood in it. It is very fragrant to chew raw, and if it is with part of the skin, it is even more chewy. It's a delicious taste that even the best meat with tendons can't match. Of course, if you eat it raw, the best choice is a little girl under the age of one. Their blood is fresh and warm, and their flesh is soft and sweet. There are also bones wrapped in soft pieces of meat, which are extremely crispy. Eating it in your mouth is simply the most wonderful enjoyment. ”

Tianxiang looked at him coldly and didn't speak. Maybe you've seen the cured meats in the warehouse, too! Not paying attention to the other party's expression, the general continued to say with a smile on his eyebrows: "That's the best of all cured meats. This is mainly due to the cold climate now. You must know that human ham cured in summer often does not last long. In winter, however, the salt on the surface of the meat can slowly soak through and open it after more than a month, when the ham has a bright red color and a unique aroma. In particular, the parts marinated with human wrists and soles are even more delicious. The taste is quite soft. A ham of this good quality can be exchanged for a complete living person in other territories. as a grain reserve. It's the best。。。。。。 "Enough! Say no more! Tianxiang couldn't stand what the other party said anymore, and jerked him up from his chair, the butt of the gun in Lunyuan's hand. Hit it on the head. Suddenly, in a wail, blood splattered the entire room.

Valery screamed, clutching his bleeding wound to his head. The thick coat also fell to the side, and the body, which had lost its last shred of cover, was completely naked. The trembling thighs are supported as much as possible, keeping the warm body away from the cold ground. Though. Blood splattered on the ground with a hot steam that had congealed into a semi-solid mud. Tianxiang didn't show any expression on his face. He just took the dagger from the side of his boot, lifted his right foot, and stomped on Valery's palm, which was supported on the ground, and crushed it fiercely. It wasn't until the other party couldn't bear the sharp pain in his heart and let out a desolate scream as if he was dying, that he let go of the soles of his feet and stepped on the other party's shoulders instead. After using gravity to force the naked body to completely level the ground, he half-crouched down, and the round dagger was thrust into the general's palm, which had just struggled out of pain. No, it's not a plug, it's supposed to be a cut. Under the fierce slash, the palm of the alien whose surface was covered with thick body hair was suddenly cut by the sharp blade. The body left happily became one of the many debris mixed with the rubble on the ground.

"The palm of a human eats best. Is that so?" Ignoring Valery, who desperately held down the blood-spurting wound, curled up and rolled repeatedly on the ground, and did not howl miserably. Tianxiang picked up the severed wrist by himself, brought it to his eyes, and carefully looked at it. It's the palm of your own hand, try it, how does it taste? With that, Tianxiang threw the severed palm in his hand, which was still twitching, in front of the general, as if he had thrown a bone to a dog. Then lean down. With a cold snort, he asked, "My soldiers, where are the dragon people who were captured by you?" Did you turn them all into ham too? ”

"No--- no ---" probably knows that this is a chance for him to live again! Valery struggled to sit up straight, gasping for breath and desperately shouting: "They didn't die, I didn't kill them." Really, I didn't lie to you. Those cured meats. All made from corpses that died on the battlefield。。。。。。 "Where are they? I mean those who survived. ”

"They have been taken and transported back to my territory. The amount of cured meat is too large to be loaded with a car. So, those who survived ... I had to drive them all back。。。。。。。 Walk...... ”

"How many people survived?" Tianxiang played with the dagger, but his eyes were fixed on Valery's other hand.

"Three, three thousand." The general forcibly held back the pain of the wound and said in a trembling voice: "When they leave... and three thousand more... I just don't know how many more 。。。。。。 there will be now. ”

"What do you mean?"

"There are also those left behind in the territory. I don't know if they're going to do anything to these captives。。。。。。 You also know that feeding the captives requires the consumption of food. However, if it is made into cured meat, it is 。。。。。。 "Bastard!" Tianxiangdi's face sank suddenly: "Notify the defenders in your territory immediately." If there is any accident among those people, I will give you all your lives. You know! All of them! ”

The command to assemble is issued at the first time. Led by two mecha regiments equipped with "war scorpions", the 11th Armored Division, with the exception of the infantry guards who had been left behind to supervise the prisoners, the rest were led by a disheveled alien officer, lined up in a marching formation, and walked in the direction they came from in the north of the position。。。。。。 About a few kilometres from the outermost edge of the position was a ruin enclosed in tattered barbed wire. Judging by the various parts scattered on the ground covered in rust, it seems to be the remains of an ancient factory. The ruined walls are weathered, and the slightest touch of your hand will cause you to slide off large swaths of sandy masonry. Unknown bones buried in the earth and broken carapace of insects were everywhere, as if to silently explain to visitors that this was already a silent place of death.

The alien officers' destination was a huge building in the middle of the ruins. From the outside, it looks like a workshop from an ancient factory.
