Recently joined are four Great Chiefs and three High Priests, all of whom are Earl-level powerhouses. Some of them came from the Great Cloister, and three of them came from the Emerald Sea. The rank from the Emerald Sea is all Earl of Guardian, and his strength is obviously higher than that of the Great Corridor, and the tall werewolf chief with bright feathers is the strongest one among them, and the aura of the Dark Force is stronger than Eska's, and there are faint signs of breaking through the Marquis.

The werewolf powerhouses introduced by Eskar will stand up and kneel on one knee in the direction of Qianye, touching their foreheads with their hands, which is their highest respect for the king.

From this point of view, the werewolf's attitude towards Chiya is far more respectful than that of the mercenary generals, and therefore more loyal. Even the haughty chief of the turkey-headed werewolf, who saluted as reverently as the others, returned to his seat and regained his pride. Some mercenary generals also saw it and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

After introducing all the new werewolf powerhouses, Eskar said, "Your Majesty ......"

Qianye raised his hand to stop him, "Your Majesty, don't use this title from now on." ”

Eskar was obviously a little embarrassed, and said, "But within the tribe, it's already called habitual. After such a great victory, there is nothing I can do to stop them. Besides, isn't it a matter of time before you become a king?"

Qianye frowned and said, "No matter what happens in the future, at least for now, I can't afford to be called this one, so don't use it." ”

"Yes, Thousand Nights...... My lord. Eskar finally changed his name, and then said, "These companions are all devout people who really want to follow you. They have added your place on their respective ancestral altars. ”

Qianye's face became quite strange, in the Empire, only the dead were placed on the altar to worship.

Carol seemed to know what he was thinking, and leaned into Qianye's ear and whispered: "In the tribe of the werewolf ancestor faction, there is indeed a tradition of sacrificing to the king, which is more secure than any oath, of course you can't fall off the throne." ”

Qianye nodded reluctantly, although his heart was still awkward, but he also knew that this form was the allegiance that all the werewolf tribes recognized, and the risk of betrayal would become very small. Until one day in the future, Thousand Nights will be killed by the new king and take his place on the altar, just like the Duke of Bones.

And these three tribes are the first of the Emerald Sea tribes to be loyal, and it seems that life under the command of the Duke of White Bone is not easy.

With this batch of werewolves, Qianye's strength in Yonglu has soared. It's just that how to use this power is still to be used carefully. At the same time, Qianye had to completely dispel the original idea of wanting to stop the Great Cloister tribe from putting him on the ancestral altar.

Piety is a higher level of loyalty, and if you want to keep these werewolves under your command without making trouble, the best way to keep them pious is more effective and reliable than a contract written on parchment, which is the other side of traditional power. In order to maintain stability, Qianye can only sacrifice his feelings.

Next, Qianye asked about the casualties and aftermath of the battle.

Since the formation of the mixed legion of werewolves and humans, the Battle of the Emerald Sea was the largest and most tragic battle. The werewolf warriors in the entire Grand Corridor suffered more than 150,000 casualties, and the losses of the new army recruited and trained by Xu Jingxuan also exceeded 20,000, accounting for almost half of the entire new army.

Correspondingly, the Emerald Seawerewolf suffered more than 300,000 casualties. Because of their limited ability to treat themselves, and the Great Corridor could not provide extra support, the tens of thousands of seriously injured Emerald Sea Wolves would all die one after another in the next few days.

After the death of the Duke of Bones, most of the Emerald Sea Werewolves participated in the battle and most of the reserve troops surrendered, and now there are as many as 300,000 prisoners alone, and tens of thousands of werewolves have taken advantage of the chaos to escape.

According to the captive's confession, there should be several werewolf troops coming from here on a day's trip, adding up to about 100,000 people. Once they get the news of the rout ahead, they will definitely flee back to their original tribes.

The best strategy at the moment is to immediately send troops to intercept them, wipe out these werewolf reinforcements in the wild, and reduce the pressure to sweep the entire Emerald Sea later.

However, Qianye looked inside the house, whether it was a human race or a werewolf, almost all of them were wounded, and they couldn't find anyone who could lead the troops, so they had to give up. And there are hundreds of thousands of captives outside, and they must be dealt with quickly, otherwise they may break out at any time.

The work of co-opting the Emerald Sea Werewolf was complex and detailed, but the implementation went relatively smoothly.

The Duke of White Bone went to war, and the big tribes in the core area of the Emerald Sea all poured out, and they were wiped out. The ones who escaped were all scattered tribes on the edge of the battlefield, and tens of thousands of warriors sounded like a lot of people, but they were scattered in all directions, not to mention that Qianye had already incorporated the main force of the werewolves, even the werewolves who only relied on the big corridor, and even Xu Jingxuan's remaining new army, could sweep away those remnants.

There are also some tribes in the marginal areas, although they have also received the call of the Duke of White Bone, but some of them are far away, and some lack enough military rations to catch up with this big war. For these tribes, as long as you have enough patience and are willing to take the time to subdue them one by one, you can always calm down slowly.

In the next few days, Qianye had to convene various meetings every day, often for most of the day, and there was no time to consolidate the realm of the gods. The placement, safety, and food of hundreds of thousands of werewolves are all major matters, and there is no room for error. It wasn't until she experienced it for herself that Qianye knew that it was not easy for those officers in logistics.

After the day's meeting, Song Hui followed Qianye back to his private area. Chiya knew she had something to say, so she closed the door and waited for the next step.

"Are you really going to take in these werewolves?"

"Or else?" Qianye felt that this question was a little inexplicable. The Emerald Sea plus the Great Cloister has a preliminary statistic that the total number of werewolves exceeds 12 million. With such a huge number, subduing is naturally the best choice, otherwise once it turns hostile, it will kill and kill softly.

Song Hui said meaningfully: "There are twelve million werewolves here. In the past, it was because there were not so many werewolves on this land that they attacked the Zhengguo fortress from generation to generation. ”

Qianye nodded, "I know." However, this land can't support so many people in the hands of werewolves, and it's not the same in our hands. ”

Whether it is the Emerald Sea or the Great Corridor, the land production is not enough to feed so many werewolves, so they have to expand and plunder the surrounding area every year to maintain the minimum cost of survival. And among the surrounding forces, Zheng Guo is the best bully, and it has become the first choice for werewolves to attack. But in Qianye's opinion, what the Duke of White Bone can't do doesn't mean he can't do it.

The werewolf tribe here is still at a primitive level, living on hunting and extensive breeding, and the cultivation technology is extremely primitive and backward, not to mention that it cannot be compared with the empire, or it is not in the same era as Zheng Guo. As long as a variety of crops suitable for growing here are introduced and the efficiency of farming per unit area is improved, feeding these werewolves will not be a problem at all.

Who says werewolves can't be vegetarians? The werewolves in the Great Cloister have proven that between starvation and grazing, wolves choose to eat grass. Farming, on the other hand, produces not only food rations, but also mixed fodder and high-quality pasture. High-quality forage can multiply the output of animal husbandry, at least to ensure that the soldiers can eat meat.

It only takes a year or two for the land to be able to support twice as many werewolves. In addition, if more is invested to breed high-yielding crops that are perfectly adapted to the environment, the number of werewolves that can be fed will continue to increase.

The only thing that needs to be addressed may be the food problem during the transition. But after this war, hundreds of thousands of elite warriors have been reduced, and the ration needs of these warriors are much greater than that of ordinary werewolves, and even if they do nothing, they can barely survive this year. On the other hand, Thousand Nights also has the option to buy food from the Empire to fill the slump of time.

But Song Hui didn't think like this, seeing that Qianye didn't understand, she simply said: "Have you thought about it, if this land is full of human races, how many people can be fed?"

Qianye was stunned, he hadn't thought about this question, he thought about the plan for the next year or two, or based on the current situation, and it had not reached the stage of extreme assumptions.

Since Song Hui asked, a number quickly rolled over in his heart. High-ranking warriors and strong men cannot be used as examples of universality, and if only the general population is considered, an adult eats far less than a werewolf, and disproportionately less than his body size. An adult werewolf is about twice the size of a human, but eats as much as four adults.

If Qianye is sure to feed 20 million werewolves, then it is not impossible to feed 40 or 50 million human beings in this vast land that stretches for hundreds of kilometers, and it will even be more. It's just that the environment of Yonglu is still not conducive to the survival of ordinary human beings, and people who live without the Force will have a shorter lifespan than in the empire itself. But if you're moving from a neutral place, it's not much of a difference.

However, there is a deeper meaning in Song Hui's words. Qianye thought about it, frowned slightly, and said, "You mean to say, let me kill all the werewolves, and then use the human race to fill in the blanks?"

"You don't have to kill, you can expel it. ”

Qianye's eyebrows locked tighter. Even if it is a werewolf, such a large-scale migration means that countless people will die on the way. With such a primitive tribal form as werewolves, it is not uncommon for half of them to die during the great migration. This is not much different from direct slaughter.

Qianye sighed and said, "What's the difference between this and killing them?" Song Hui, after all, this is 10 million lives, can you kill them like this?"

"If you are not of my race, their hearts will be different! Moreover, there is only so much land, and if you feed the werewolves, you can't feed the human race. From the standpoint of our clan, of course, we want to kill all the werewolves. How do you think Great Qin founded the country and how did it open up its borders? The continent that the empire occupies now was not a deserted place 1,200 years ago. ”

Of course, the middle continent is not barren, and the empire itself has its own unique resources, especially the territories controlled by the imperial family and the gate valve, many of which can be called anointed lands. It was the foundation of dawn torn out of the dark world.

Qianye knew that what Song Hui said was the truth, the road to the rise of the human race was full of sacrifices, and those bones and blood not only belonged to the human race, but also countless dark races.

He was silent for a while, and then said, "I remember hearing a saying that since the power spectrum of this world is divided into dawn and darkness, it also means that every race has the right to live on the continent. Destroying one race will give rise to another at dawn or darkness, so there is no point in killing blindly. This is the Continent, not the Empire or the Council of the Eternal Night, so maybe it could be different?, and these werewolves are all sincere and have proven their loyalty. ”

Qianye paused and said frankly: "In this case, I really can't do it. ”

Song Hui didn't relax and asked, "What did they use to prove their loyalty?"

"The lives of two hundred thousand warriors. ”

Song Hui also had to nod and sighed, "Okay, even if it's it." But what if they rebel later?"

Qianye said lightly: "What I promised them, I will naturally give them to them." If there are still people who rebel like this, then do you think I will let them go? There are many dark races that have died at my hands in the past. ”

"That's good. Song Hui breathed a sigh of relief, she thought for a while, and then asked, "Then what do you think about this country, is it on the side of the dawn or the eternal night?"

This is the inevitable question that every kingdom faces, for whom the country is born and for whom it fights. But this most basic question stumped Chiya.

In the squeeze of the two camps, there is no shortage of self-proclaimed neutral forces, but everyone knows the water. Those who can be truly neutral are either weak enough, strong enough, or neutral has enough benefits in itself.
