Chapter 855: Northern Aliens
The 30,000 guardian legions of Taoism are composed of two legions, paladins and saint warriors, with 25,000 people, and the remaining 5,000 people are magicians composed of magicians from various departments.
The 30,000 people, all of whom are the elite combat power of Taoism, are condensed together at this moment, and they are an incomparably powerful force no matter where they are placed.
The 5,000-strong missionary team is made up of priests, nuns, priests and other clergy, all of whom have been specially trained and are inconspicuous in their combat ability, but their missionary ability is extremely good.
Finally, there are the high-level Taoists, the Taurus Gold Saint Seiya Arudiba, the Virgo Gold Saint Seiya Shajia, Edward, Xia, Don Quixote and other five people.
Among them, Arudiba and Don Quixote led the Saint Seiya Legion and the Paladin Legion respectively, Edward served as Rod's guard, and as for Shaga and Xia, Rhodes had other plans.
In the headquarters of Taoism, there are Ize and two Golden Saint Seiyas, even if there is a strong enemy to sabotage, they can deal with one or two.
In front of the Xuandao Cathedral, after holding a brief oath meeting with everyone, Rhodes led an army of 35,000 to the north.
In a few days, Rhodes had already led everyone to the northern town of Greendon, and no one dared to stop him along the way.
With Rhodes' current identity, coupled with the token given by Wen Sa before, the military fortress is not much different from his own back garden for him, no one will stop him, and no one will dare to hinder him.
It was the middle of March, and most of the Oakland Empire was already in full bloom, but the northern land was still frozen for thousands of miles.
The northern part of the Auckland Empire is a plateau, with a high altitude and high mountains everywhere, and the region is unique, although the environment is somewhat harsh, but this also forms a natural barrier for the Auckland Empire, and only a small force needs to be sent in the main area to build checkpoints and fortresses to stop the enemy army.
This is the case in the city of Flory, where war has broken out before, and a single garrison can protect the border of tens of thousands of miles.
However, due to the highland climate, ordinary people could not adapt to the climate here, resulting in the Oakland Empire not only unable to use this place as a forward base for outward expansion, but also unable to really control this large area.
A large number of alien races have taken root in this area, forming many alien tribes, just like the ethnic minorities on the northern border of China, with their own political power and their own beliefs.
At the beginning, because the empire was weak, the previous monarchs of the empire did not take it to heart, as long as they guarded the gate of the empire, these alien races would naturally fend for themselves in a harsh environment.
However, I never thought that the alien race has a strong ability to adapt to the environment, and the harsher the environment, the more tenacious they are, and even formed a strong physique in the process of fighting with nature.
From time to time, they invaded the border, plundered supplies, and hid in the deep valleys of the snowy mountains when they were conquered, which has been difficult to destroy, but has become a tumor scourge for the Oakland Empire.
For hundreds of years, the empire has spent a huge amount of materials on conquest and rectification of foreign races, which is one of the reasons why the empire's heritage is difficult to precipitate.
For Wen Sa and Rod, this is obviously unbearable, because everything in the empire is under their control.
So after Wen Sa ascended the throne, Wen Sa once sent two major legions to the north to conquer everywhere, intending to completely wipe out the alien race.
At the beginning of the war, because there was indeed a gap between the overall strength of the alien race and the empire, and with the advantage of the city wall and heavy weapons, the northern alien race was killed in a river of blood, and the momentum was greatly weakened, but as the army continued to penetrate into the north, the harsh and cold plateau climate had a huge impact on the imperial army, and both the march and the supply suffered great trouble.
Even the morale and combat strength of the soldiers were greatly weakened, and if it were not for the timely retreat of the commander who led the army, the two major armies of the empire might all have perished in the Northlands, and even many important towns in the Northlands might have become the pockets of the alien races.
Therefore, Wen Sa decided to reform the military system and army, and it took several years for the major legions to begin to be stationed in the north in turn, so as to adapt to the plateau and cold climate, so that they could be used for future expeditions.
Now, the Auckland Empire is strong, the soldiers are all adapted to the plateau climate, and the materials are also abundant, coupled with the rebellion of the Eight Nations on the border of the empire, Wen Sa realized that the time was ripe, and he decided to completely remove the nail of the northern alien race before the war with the Eight Kingdoms.
After all, although the Eight Kingdoms began to revolt, it would take months for him to start a battle and reach the border, and this period of time was the best time for him to pacify the alien race.
As for the governance of the northern land after the war, Rhodes has already made a plan for Wen Sa, first using magic to transform the northern land, and then using preferential policies to immigrate 500,000 by forceful means, so that the northern land has real imperial citizens, and then slowly swallow the alien territory with the power of imperial citizens, and finally integrate the alien race into the Auckland Empire.
This method is the essence of the colonization methods of the colonial powers on the earth and the integration of ethnic groups in the 5,000-year history of China.
Not only for the northern lands, but also for the territories conquered later.
Of course, the most important and difficult part of this strategy was the initial stage, because ethnic relations and religious problems were very likely to cause a lot of confusion, so Rhodes organized a 5,000-strong missionary team, not only to spread glory, but also to use the power of religion and belief to stabilize people's hearts.
After listening to Rod's strategic direction, Wen Sa was overjoyed, he was not as authoritarian and domineering as Philina, he was very good at taking advantage of others, and he also knew how to pull powerful allies into the chariot.
Taoism was his most powerful ally, the cornerstone of his rule and expansion of his empire.
For an ordinary person, such a person is very annoying, but for a king, it is the greatest 'virtue', a real model of a Ming monarch, and as long as he does not encounter a slump blow, Wen Sa is destined to be able to stand on the top of the world and become the existence of countless kings standing at the top of the pyramid.
For Ruder, Wensa is also a very good partner to work with.
Thus, under the condition of mutual use and mutual cooperation, the conquest of foreign races was decided, and the corresponding arrangements were laid out one by one.
Of course, Rod and Wen Sa have made a move here, and the northern alien race will naturally not sit idly by......
