After the second battle, Black Wolf approached White Wolf and presented some of his thoughts to his face. ()

"In my opinion, there is a lot of room for improvement in our tactics. First, our intelligence work and battlefield reconnaissance work are very imperfect, take this battle as an example, in order to surround the enemy, we sent 5,000 soldiers, but among so many soldiers, a large part of them failed to participate in the battle, just there to watch, how to say, I think this is a waste of resources, after all, the transfer of a large army needs to spend all kinds of resources, such as food and water, as well as logistical manpower. The black wolf analyzed.

"What's your solution?" asked the white wolf

"Our forces have proven to be capable of annihilating the enemy at a very small cost, but the problem is that we are not sure if the enemy has possible reinforcements, so we have to send troops far beyond the strength of the enemy to besiege them. My proposal is that more reconnaissance units should be set up to detect enemy movements at fifteen reconnaissance distances from the place of battle, and if there is no enemy within fifteen reconnaissance distances, then we will only need to send a squadron of 100 men to deal with the invaders' 50-man squadron. ”

"Fifteen reconnaissance distances are calculated according to the general situation of the underground world, and it takes about 30 minutes to go back and forth. The white wolf immediately came up with the calculations.

"Yes, that means that if the enemy wants to come from fifteen scouting distances, we will have already ended the fight, you know, after calculation, it took us less than ten minutes to deal with this intruder squad. The black wolf said confidently.

"I think so. The white wolf agreed.

"One more thing, I heard a recent complaint from a priest that the emirate was investing too much in military operations, which led to a shortage of food supplies, and I punished the priest for the reason of demagoguery and forbade the spread of such news, but is it true?"

"You're doing the right thing, but what the priest said is true, and I can show you some data, right here. The white wolf tapped the hides on the table with his paws," You see this, this is the cost of this military operation reported by various departments, our food reserves have bottomed out, in order to repair the scrapped automatic mining machines, as well as the production of weapons and armor, the minerals we can collect every month have become negative, especially the iron ore, the family pension is also a problem, our granary has almost no food, it is all by scraping together, I can get the food that those martyrs' children need every month, from this, I have come to a conclusion, that is, I have expanded the army too much, the emirate can not support such a burden。 ”

"So how long can our food last?" The black wolf did not expect that the matter had reached this point, and directly asked the most pointed question.

"I can tell you responsibly, a month, it can only last for a month, if we can't solve the food problem within this time, there will be an unprecedented famine in the emirate, do you have any good solution?" asked the white wolf with a blank face.

"Hmph, I can't conjure food out of thin air, but I can make the number of people eat food, so tell me a number, how many goblins do we have to kill to avoid this great famine?"

After listening to the black wolf's words, the white wolf rarely did not respond, he knew that the black wolf's plan was indeed a very efficient solution, but from the 21st century, he had the unique sense of morality of modern humans, so he could not take the black wolf's opinion.

"Maybe there's a better solution, I made the decision to expand the army, I can't let the goblins take responsibility for me, these people are fighting for my ideas, and I must be responsible for them, otherwise I won't be qualified to be a ruler. After some time, the white wolf finally gave his own answer.

"Anyway, this emirate was built by you, I listen to you, but I also have to remind you that you must be ruthless when you should be ruthless, don't be held back by unnecessary principles and feelings, sometimes, only know how to make trade-offs to succeed, and there are very few things that are perfect for both worlds. The black wolf, as usual, obeyed the white wolf's thoughts.

"If that time really comes, I will naturally make a choice, but now it is obviously not to that point, I have calculated, if I want to solve or postpone this food disaster, then I must kill more than 20,000 goblins, I can't just use high-sounding reasons to convince myself, after all, they are also my citizens, I can't do anything to take their lives with a wave of my hand, even if this approach has a certain "reasonableness". As he spoke, the white wolf wrote a Chinese character for "20,000" on the paper and dotted it with his paw.

"It doesn't matter, if you don't put your mind to it, I'll do it instead of you, anyway, the number of humans I killed with my own hands in the past has already far exceeded this number, and it doesn't matter if you add another goblin. The black wolf also pointed to the Chinese character "20,000" with his finger, and under the white wolf's ears, she could also read some Chinese characters.

"No, maybe you should think like this, every goblin is a resource for you to counterattack humans in the future, one more goblin now, maybe one more human in the future?"

"It's a pity that I'm not interested in humans anymore, the reason why I'm still willing to stay here is actually to see how far this rune sect and the emirate you have come up can go, and even if I still want to take revenge on the human race, I still have to kill these 20,000 goblins, because only in this way can I avoid famine, if the famine happens, more goblins will definitely die, tell me what is this more number?"

"God knows how many, maybe hundreds of thousands of people will die, and the population of the emirate may even be cut by half. The white wolf looked up at the sky, but there was no blue sky in sight, only low ceilings, and fluorescent moss that glowed blue-white.

"So, if you really want to be responsible for your own people, the sooner this necessary death is done, the better, to sacrifice a small number of people, to save a large part of the people, what a great thing? But it does work once in a while, and sometimes some people slip out of my nose. The black wolf said this, and couldn't help but lick her fangs, as if remembering the pleasure of killing.

"It's not the same thing, those human men and brave men are willing to sacrifice, and we want others to sacrifice, which is completely different in nature. The white wolf shook his head in disapproval.

"Well, in fact, I have also encountered such a situation, the villagers of a village ran away by themselves, but put an innocent girl in an iron cage, in the middle of the village, trying to distract me, in fact they did succeed, after I swallowed the iron cage with the girl in the stomach, a hero rushed over to save the villagers, and when I fought with the hero, the villagers who sacrificed the girl ran away. This can be regarded as a case of sacrificing others for the benefit of the group, but I still have to tell you that the girl cried dry from her tears when I was about to eat her, and it was really not delicious. The black wolf smacked his lips.

"I always think that I shouldn't blame the villagers for this, but you should blame you?" asked the white wolf with some surprise.

"Then you shouldn't be blamed for the expansion of the army, but the gray mist invaders, if they didn't inflict such a big battle damage on the emirate's army in the first place, would you be so desperate to expand the army?" the black wolf asked rhetorically.

"I actually have nothing to say, but anyway, give me a little more time, anyway, I'm also a traverser, if I want the best of both worlds, there should still be a chance," the white wolf smiled bitterly.

"What are you wearing? What kind of good thing is that? Let's hear it~" The black wolf heard the new words that popped out of the white wolf's mouth again, and the ** who wanted to know was ignited, and hurriedly asked.

"It's a time-traveling wolf, I know space-time runes, have you forgotten? Maybe I can use space-time runes to conjure a bunch of food. The white wolf realized that he had slipped his mouth, and hurriedly used a far-fetched reason to round it up.

"Oh, I think you're hiding something from me again," the black wolf replied in disbelief after listening to the white wolf's hasty explanation.

"Anyway, you go back first, if I really have to, go back to you. ”

"I'm always welcome to come to me!" replied the black wolf excitedly, and at the same time put aside the matter of the moon wearer, the black wolf saw the struggle in the white wolf's heart, what kind of choice would his cheap brother make?

"What comes out of the shell may be a giant dragon. The black wolf left satisfied, in her mind, the ruler should treat his people ruthlessly, use them as resources, and should not think about responsibilities and obligations everywhere like the white wolf, these things are just shackles to power.

The black wolf is very satisfied now, because she can clearly feel that this incident is pushing the white wolf in the direction of that ruthless ruler, and it is still very rewarding to be able to witness the full growth and gradual maturity of the person she cares about, and to watch him fade away from that idealism and innocence.
