Ninety-four Pain and Pleasure
The three-day holiday is still in the blink of an eye, and the city has gradually returned to its former calm, and although many things in the celebration are inexperienced and occasionally unexpected because it is the first time to organize, the residents still have a great attitude of tolerance and encouragement to make things go in a good direction.
In the month that followed, news of Valcanno's defeat in the duel was deliberately publicized in nine places, spreading from Quezas to Black Shine.
This was decided by the five interior counsellors of the Cabinet after consultation with Moon.
The area of Quezas is not small, 200,000 square kilometers is almost the same as the Storm Leader, and the entire Black Yao is about one million square kilometers, but the population is quite small, and the huge Quezas currently has only one main city, which has not yet been filled.
In the case of the food problem of Intilfa and Kelsey being greatly alleviated, the disadvantage of the small population gradually became apparent, and the overall population was small and there was no way to expand the scale of the Lunar Guard, and the size of the Guards could not be expanded, which meant that the border of Quezas was still very empty in defense.
That's why Moon wants to spread the news of Valcanno's defeat, including having Gruba cooperate with the Second Legion to snipe Fury's pursuers on the border, all from the same point of view, that is, the so-called deterrent.
Gruba used the call of the forest to cooperate with the Second Legion to "annihilate" the pursuers of the Tiger Clan in the near two legions without injury, and although most of the Rhino Heavy and Tiger and Panther Warriors died at the hands of Simba's troops, at least Quezas showed the ability to highlight the border and create favorable terrain and environment for effective defense. This still has a considerable deterrent effect on some forces with different intentions.
There are so many cobalt blue shirts on the border of Quesas, they are all towering trees. The shrubs and groves all have that effect, and wouldn't it be miserable to rush into the deep blue forest and into Quezas?
And Moon's defeat of Valcanno is more straightforward, that is, not only is Quezas Liviasan, but the Lord of Quezas is also a guy who can defeat a person of Valcanno's level. If the Moon who defeated Valcanno is understood as level 90, then Quezas is a place with two Liviasan-level characters, whether it is espionage or small-scale friction, it must be considered more carefully.
If there was only one Liviasan in the first place, the traditional method of moving the tiger away from the mountain could be of no small difference. How would Quezas deal with throwing in a force that would involve Liviasan head-on, making her unable to support elsewhere, and then attacking elsewhere with the same or stronger forces?
If Quezas had an extra powerhouse of the level of Liviasan, the cost of this method would be much greater, and the feasibility, on the contrary, would be much less.
Why? If only enough forces were used to contain Liviasan, Quezas would have at least two options to deal with, one was that Liviasan would resist it himself, and Moon would not move. The other is for Moon to cooperate with Liviasan to quickly defeat it and then support elsewhere.
In that case, what if two of the same corps were sent to contain Liviasan and Moon respectively, and a third corps would be needed to carry out the raid. Although it was only one more corps, it didn't seem like much. But what is behind this corps? It is the training, equipment, salaries, pensions, the allocation of more officers and nobles, and it is not a trivial matter to use more other wrongs to make up for the lack of more than that corps.
And there is a more important reason for Moon and the cabinet to spread the news, and that is the role of Moon's identity in the population problem of Quezas.
Moon Black. Stone's son, this is something that everyone knows about Black Yao.
The son of Storm Blake, he defeated Valcano Cangetur. Well... Valcanno's mother, Volhanna, was a strong man of the same level as Storm, and it was not a big deal that Stone's son defeated Woolhana's son.
And what about Small's son, Moon Black, an unawakened one, 102 years old, who defeated Valcanor, a six-hundred-year-old Dark Elf Magister (the upper class of magicians)?
Combined with the rumors about Quezas that have been circulating in the Obsidian Nation from time to time, Quezas has lunar powers, a power that the unawakened can wield, will it be attractive? It should still be, and it is far beyond Quezas's imagination.
The news of Moon's defeat of Valcanno is itself intended to add credibility to the previous nine spreads. And with the wide spread of the news, coupled with other propaganda that the nine places have tried their best to do, such as the treatment of the unawakened in Quezas, etc., the purpose is to attract other unawakened people in the Black Yao Territory to Quesas.
Those unawakened who were forbidden by the nobles, restricted from trading, and guarded, Quezas could not be obtained by trading as before, so he could only hope for some other way.
And in fact, the unawakened really organized themselves and fled to Quezas without hesitation.
The unawakened who were originally regarded as waste by the nobles, even if they were no longer sold to Quezas for some reason, how could the nobles look at them squarely, not to mention that they themselves were a burden to the nobles. Can't sell, can't be exiled (for fear of being picked up by Quesas), and can't be killed (bargaining chips), then you can only raise it yourself, with the past performance of the unawakened, the nobles will not spend much effort to strictly guard them, I can't wait to sneak a few, or save some material consumption and money.
The Noble Alliance is in an all-round confrontation with the Imperial Council, and everything costs money.
The escape of the unawakened was initially small, and the nobles did not care. Under the indulgence of the aristocracy, either deliberately or unintentionally, this flight gradually became a trend. It's just that when the nobles realized the seriousness of the problem and sent troops to chase after it, it was already too late. Arrogant... Quite arrogant!
Varela's agents from MI9 also played a huge role, with carefully selected stalkers trained by the unawakened after mastering the lunar power, and various alien agents expressing Quezas's inclusiveness to the outside world. How can the unawakened who have been at the bottom for a long time not be moved.
So their flight was crisp and decisive. With the help of the Nine, the unawakened fled from the territories closer to Quesas even to the local nobles, and the distance... Quezas was also powerless, it was really a bloody escape.
Expecting the huge attraction of the two news after the confirmation, Quezas, including Moon and Heidi, were a little caught off guard, but fortunately, the staff headquarters made a timely response plan, mobilized the two Guards Legions, left all other tasks, and made every effort to highlight the northwest frontier, and cooperated with the Fourth and Seventh Legions of the Storm Leader to receive and escort these unawakened people all the way.
At the same time, Quezas organized an alien army for the first time, and Caesar served as the chief of the Minotaur as the chief magistrate of Quesas, and led 5,000 Minotaur warriors to defend the eastern part of Quesas.
Heidi's original idea was to mix the available aliens into the Guard, which would not only improve the combat effectiveness of the Guard, but also allow the various races to get acquainted with each other and accelerate the integration of the aliens. It's just that because it is the first time to recruit alien warriors, it takes a lot of effort to organize and coordinate, and it is obvious that the current time for a rapid response is not appropriate, so I didn't insist on it, but left it for later use.
Moon stood on a makeshift wooden pedestal, looking at the hordes of ragged, scrawny unawakened people, with mixed feelings.
After all, what does Quezas have? There is only a city to carry on, plus some grain-producing technology, and a chance to have power. There are other resources, but what is the point for those who are not awakened?
And just the food, and the power, made so many people desperate to come here. How miserable was their previous life? How desperate was their life?
"I plan to promote monthly energy to the whole people. Moon said to Bone Dance and Heidi beside him.
(nods) "Needless to say, what decision did Moon disagree with?"
"Master, why?" Heidi, one of the current cabinets, Counsellor of the Interior and Chief of the General Staff, naturally had to consider the consequences of Moon's idea in all aspects, although she had never thought of opposing it.
"What do you think if I say I want all of Quezas to be soldiers?" Moon turned to look at Heidi.
"Well, that's good, then we will have more troops to defend the border, and we will have more ability to share my father's worries, and I can... Trouble with the Flames. But in this case, we need to let the alien take on the task of food production, and this is not a big problem, the technology and the means of production are in our hands, and the alien race is just doing the work. "What does Heidi think? Heidi will follow Moon's thoughts...
"If the one that Tifa and Kelsey envisioned before, called the greenhouse device for automatic crop cultivation, can be developed and put into use normally, it will greatly liberate our manpower. As long as we can ensure food production, we will be able to do a lot. ”
Heidi said all this in one breath, Moon just listened, and Heidi thought for a moment and asked, "What does the master think?" Even though she was already his wife, she was reluctant to change her words.
"I didn't think much of it. Moon sighed, "I've had this idea once in the past, because after all, it's not difficult to transform an unawakened person into a guard with moon energy, especially now that the relevant technology is mature, and you only need to follow the process." ”
"The master has concerns?"
"Well, I always felt that although they accepted the teachings of our education system, it was still necessary to guard against others, I could give them strength, but I couldn't take it back, what if someone had bad intentions one day?"
"And now?" asked Heidi outside.
"Now I feel like I should give them strength. ”
"Why?"
Moon glanced at Bone Dance and said, "I just thought of it by chance, such as the Imperial Council, although the current situation of the unawakened is because of the policies and systems they specified, but from the perspective of the Imperial Council, this is also a helpless way, to survive in this hidden orchid and ensure the continuation of the race, it is necessary to cultivate those who have the power." Even so, knowing that it was useless, meaningless, and even hateful, the council forced the nobles to provide for the unawakened until they reached adulthood. ”
"And I have a choice, choosing to give them lunar energy, just from my personal point of view, I am afraid that some people will betray me and use the power I have given me to betray me. Moon's words made Heidi a little confused at first, but after a while, she realized a little, and Bone Dance smiled happily, she was really happy, because her man had grown.
"I didn't think it was a problem before. Maybe I just stood here and watched it for a while, but now I think it's a big problem. I feel very unconfident and selfish. ”
"Don't people destroy the heavens and the earth for their own sake, master..."
Moon interrupted Heidi and said, "That's what I said. If I'm strong enough, why worry about someone betraying me? Even if I do, I can destroy it, so why worry so much?"
"They traveled thousands of miles to Quesas, and I didn't even give them the slightest bit of trust, and they didn't even have the slightest bit of confidence? That's so... It's too vegetable. ”
"I'm afraid, it's not just because of this decision that the master has decided, right?"
"Hey, sort of. A mountain is always higher than a mountain, I have experienced so much in the door, I still understand this truth. In case one day I burp. Moon stopped Heidi from speaking and continued, "At least let them have the ability to protect themselves, they are my people after all, so that the race can continue, right?"
"I see. Heidi nodded, she had vaguely guessed from the very beginning of Moon's talk to the Imperial Council that giving them the ability to protect themselves and the continuation of the race was the starting point for Moon.
"So, leave this matter to me, okay?"
"Since I discussed it with you, I naturally handed it over to you. ”
"I'll show you the plan after I've made it. ”
"No need, discuss it with them, just do it, I can't trust you?" Moon said of them, naturally his cabinet, Bone Dance, Tifa, Emma, and Liviasan.
"Actually, many alien races also want to integrate into Quezas, but the identity of the alien race and the characteristics of each race..."Bone Dance spoke at this time, and the situation she said was especially obvious in the army. Except for a small number of Black Yao traditional dark elves, the guards are all composed of guards, which has a huge gap with a small number of alien races, such as the fox clan staff officers, Xiaobai's clansmen, rabbit scouts.
"I only have a rough idea. Moon had apparently thought about this before, "I don't know if the Moon Energy Alien Race I've developed will be able to master it, at least not if I can't." Speaking of this, Moon smiled helplessly, even if he became able to fight now, it was not a moon energy. "At the end of the day, we're all intelligent creatures, we're all human. If you are human, you will have a concept. Is it possible to consider drawing up a unified set of ideas to guide all people, but all who agree with me, with Quesas, with our ideas, regardless of race..."
"Understood. Heidi nodded, and to put it bluntly, it was not about racial characteristics, but about the inner concept of distinguishing Quezas or aliens.
"It's a bit of a mess, then, I'm sorry for you. ”
"Oh, so polite, master?" said Heidi, who was shorter than Moon, turned her big eyes around and looked at Moon slyly.
"Don't drive! I've been in kindergarten recently, so I can only accept a ride to kindergarten. Moon raised his hand in surrender, Kidney really couldn't stand it.
The nobles did not want to go to war with Quezas and Stormlord at the same time at this time, even though they knew that the influx of the unawakened would cause them great trouble in the future, and reality did not allow them to use their swords now.
As a noble territory that has been dealing with Naga invasion all year round, the soldiers' rich combat experience is by no means comparable to that of other noble troops, and the unique melee troops of Quezas are even more headaches for nobles. Moreover, how could the garrison of Darnassus's imperial capital be ornamental? If the other side found an opportunity because of a sudden conflict, it would really outweigh the losses.
To put it bluntly, Darnassus is the primary target of the noble coalition.
Back in the massive palace of the Moongate, Moon sees Tifa.
The 500,000 unawakened promised by Darnassus have begun to be sent to Quezas in batches, which makes Tifa feel pressured, and her childhood experience has made her not the kind of aristocratic magician who doesn't know what hunger is, and as more and more people continue to be in the city, Tifa always feels an inexplicable sense of crisis.
Even if Owosdack and Kelsey used scientific methods to tell her how many people in Jicheng would produce enough food and how long it would take, she still couldn't be convinced, this is the so-called sense of crisis, right?
Under the urging of this feeling, Tifa burst out with unparalleled combat effectiveness, what in order to effectively use the space of layered multi-stage grafting, in order to ensure the nutrition of the cobalt blue shirt rotation system, in order to divert water in order to divert water, for the fire temperature detector, and even in cooperation with Heidi and Bone Dance, the most stringent law in the history of Quesas was formulated.
Destroy, destroy the cobalt blue shirt, kill no mercy! The fat donkey has already killed twenty-six people because of this one, both the dark elves and the aliens, and then the whole collar will be announced. In Emma's words, the combination of grace and power is more effective, which makes Fathead Donkey have to put the development of the criminal law of Quezas on the agenda.
Tifa was dancing and thinking about something as she walked, and slammed into Moon's chest.
"Who doesn't have long eyes! Hey, Moon. Tifa looked up and saw that his man's attitude had changed suddenly.
"What do you want?" Moon took Tifa into his arms, and Tifa grimaced at Heidi with a hippie smile, and the provocative and smug look made Heidi angry at all.
"I'm not working on that, that's it, the greenhouse device for automatic crop cultivation. I've had a hard time lately!"
"What a problem, come out and see if I can help. ”
"Can't help. ”
"......," Moon tugged at Tifa's face with both hands, "Am I being despised?"
"Pull it, if you can pull it big, remember to pull your chest next time. ”
“...... How much resentment do you have against this? I think it's cute to be small. ”
"Hmph. Look at you, huh, they're all older than me, and they tell me that they're cute and small, and you're showing pity for me!
"Uh... Then I'll work hard after that?"
"Uh-huh. Tifa looked around and asked, "Bone Dance?"
"Assist in receiving, after all, there are so many people. ”
"It's good that our city was designed to be big back then, otherwise it would be over. I can't even fit it. How many are there?" said Tifa, who suddenly looked at Moon with some apprehension.
"There are still 400,000 to be sent over to the council, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has counted it, and the number of refugees who have fled is probably the same. There may be more to come. ”
"Hey, mother. Tifa made an arrow in the chest, "Sure enough, survival is instinct, there are 400,000 of them." Wait a minute,!?Don't stop me, Kelsey!Kelsey!It's a meeting, it's a meeting, it's a meeting, or Quezas is going to starve. Tifa broke free from Moon's embrace with a snort and was about to run to the R&D room.
Moon grabbed Tifa's hand and asked, "Tell me, what's wrong?"
"Hmm... How to say it, in fact, it is not difficult to say, that is, the existing technology can not support the temperature and durability required by the greenhouse greenhouse, because the source of heat energy can not be manufactured, if there is something that can provide stable and continuous heat energy, the greenhouse greenhouse will be able to be put into use immediately. ”
"Oh~~~ Magic doesn't work?"
"It's not impossible, it's just that the materials consumed by the mage's continuous spell casting can be more valuable than the total amount of food produced, and can only be used as a last resort, and once the mage is allowed to provide heat with mana, it is a fairly long process, and it can almost eliminate them from the battle sequence. ”
"Understood. I'll keep an eye on it. Moon nodded, this sudden influx of refugees was much larger than before, and even Moon felt the pressure from the logistics department, but he really couldn't help it.
Even when Bone Dance came to him a while ago, he couldn't get into that state of being able to fight, and he was beaten by Bone Dance and scurried all over the ground, this woman had escalated because of Moon's behavior before! Now that she is a level 66 warrior, isn't it more than enough to clean up Moon?
Thanks to Luo Xia and Bone Dance's previous training on him, Moon was still able to resist without entering the state.
The happiest thing in this situation is Liviasan, who has the blessing of her identity and is not restricted, she uses various methods to confirm the relationship between Moon's moon power and the Ancient Gate, and she is busy at the same time in bed and under the bed.
Although life is sad, it is always unacceptable. The city, or Quezas, was taking in the refugees while carefully formulating what Moon called a policy of all soldiers.
Since it is necessary to give all the unawakened people to the moon energy, it is necessary to manage them in a unified manner later, and it is most direct to integrate them into the Guard, and it is also necessary to consider who will fill the vacancy after the person in charge of production is transferred. If the size of the Guards is expanded, how can the grain output be guaranteed? If the participation in production is limited, how can the time for production and training be coordinated? In short, there are many and inextricable intertwined relationships, which give Moon a headache.
This headache was coincidentally alleviated by a group of envoys, and Moon was so happy that after leaving the job to Heidi, Moon met with the first ever team of envoys to visit Quezas.
Moon deliberately brought Emma with him, because the other party was a succubus.
In the ornate hall of the Dark Elves, a row of seven high-backed chairs glittering with jade light stood in the center, Moon sat on his throne, and Emma sat in her place.
The arrival of the succubus clan made Moon fully understand that Emma's skills were far from home, and the other party's eyes, smiles, movements, expressions, and all other actions were tickling the man's heart all the time.
And the words of the so-called succubus envoy made Moon even more unbearable.
"Dear niece and daughter, are you interested in going to my aunt's country for a few days?"
