The elven magician Siv left the Starfire Collar after a brief conversation with Giggs, and Giggs guessed that Siv might want to bring the news back to the elven court in her mouth, and the matter was already very clear, the elves learned the news of the trade between humans and dwarves, and then discovered the little secret of the dwarven goods, peeping into the leopard, and the magic crystal products that can be used for civilian use, which means that the magic crystal on the dwarf side is not a scarce resource, and according to Seve's approach, the magic crystal may be a very precious material on the elf side.
One side has a large number of resources that the other side needs, in addition to trade is war, and once the elves or humans buy magic crystals on a large scale, the dwarves will definitely be able to find clues as long as they scout for a period of time, and there is also a very important point, will the elves who are noble and integrated into the blood choose this sneaky way?
The overlord who has occupied the southern part of the continent for thousands of years, if it were not for the fact that there is a suitable place for the elves to live because of the cultivation of a large forest and the fact that the number of elves is not very large, the territory of the elves would be even larger.
And now it just needs to be patient, and the elves need to prepare war materials, intelligence reconnaissance, and a suitable excuse.
After Seve left, Giggs's life gradually returned to normal, accompanying Celia and Anna and Elena every day, how the Spark Leader planned before, and now it is steadily advancing according to the plan, including cultivating the fields, turning the lake into a fish pond, building some small villages under the town, and roads in the territory, and Giggs uses almost half of the funds to develop his territory.
Money is only money if it is spent, otherwise it can only be regarded as waste. The use of money to stimulate human labor is the actual value of money.
In Spark Territory, money is exchanged for the construction of the territory, and the increasing population and rising living standards show the correctness of what Giggs is doing.
A month after Giggs got married, Celia suddenly ran into Giggs's study with a box, and Elena, who was sitting on Giggs, quickly got up, "Sister Celia~"
Ignoring Celia's eyes, Giggs pointed to the box and said, "Isn't this the fruit that Seve sent?
Celia said a little sneeringly, "I don't know how to eat it, I always feel that it would be a waste to eat it like that~"
Giggs slapped his thigh and motioned for Celia to sit down, endured the pain of Celia's pinching of her arms, and wrapped his hands around her waist, "Then soak it in wine, such wine must be very good." “
He beckoned Elena to come to his side, and under Celia's gaze, Elena also sat in Giggs's arms.
After kissing each other's faces, Giggs buried his face in Celia's hair and whispered, "War is coming again~" This sentence made Celia's emotions, which were originally a little vinegary, instantly dissipate, and turned her head and asked in a somewhat anxious tone, "How come?
Reaching out and touching Elena's hair, Giggs' deep voice rang out in the room, "This time it will be a war between dwarves and elves, and it can't be avoided, all we can do now is wait." ”
"Brother, what does the war between the dwarves and the elves have to do with us?" Elena asked with some ignorance, "The elves are the overlords of the south, and the dwarves are the kings of the west, I don't believe that the war between such a powerful two races will end in a rout, this is a protracted war." "And the impact of the war, most obviously, is that the amount of food that humans will hand over to the elves will increase, and the food, arrows, and manpower needed to transport these to the front line will fall on the heads of the humans at that time." ”
"The impact on the Spark Collar is nothing more than the next commercial depression, the trade on the dwarven side will be completely cut off, and the development of the territory will be temporarily stagnant. ”
"It's all fine~ If they want food, we will give them food, and if they want manpower, we will give them manpower, my dear, what do you have to worry about?" Selia took Giggs's hand and said gently.
"I'm afraid, in case, if the battle on the front line is tight and the elves suffer serious losses, we humans may be sent to the front line as cannon fodder, and with the reputation of my soldiers, once this happens, they will definitely go to the battlefield, and I naturally can't just sit in the territory. Giggs hesitated, but still said a very likely conjecture in his mind.
The Forest of Whispering, the Forest of Mist, and the Forest of Twilight, the three major forests are surrounded by the main gathering places of humans, and it should not be a problem for all the populations to add up to four or five million, and in a ten-for-ten way, the elves will get 500,000 cannon fodder, and there is no need for cannon fodder equipped with sophisticated weapons.
The role of these cannon fodder is only to liberate the elves on the front line, just like Giggs did before, to transport the grain and grass on the front line, occupy the resources of various places, and be responsible for managing the conquered dwarf cities, and once the dwarves have a counterattack, these weak cannon fodder troops will not have the slightest ability to resist, and can even be used to affect the sight of the pursuers when the elves are defeated.
Giggs shuddered at the thought of such a possible scenario, and he remembered the lake outside Blackrock, a defensive weapon for a small dwarven city, and it was just a shot.
After appeasing the two girls who were obviously frightened by what Giggs said, Giggs let out a sigh, "This is the sorrow of the weak race~ Don't worry, I've experienced so many wars, haven't I survived well?"
"By the way, don't talk about this outside, just know it yourself~" Giggs emphasized, "Today is also my state is a little wrong, so I said these words, which makes you worry~ I will protect you well, after all, I don't have a son yet~" Giggs's tone suddenly changed to a cheap voice at the end, which successfully made Celia and Elena blush.
Giggs behaved as usual, and did nothing other than tell Dick to increase the size of the trade. Although Dick was puzzled, he also thought that this lord was short of money to spend, and wanted to increase trade to make a profit, after all, the Spark Leader also had its own caravan.
Even if he knew that the war was coming, Giggs did not choose to expand the army, counting the total number of guards of nearly 600 people was already the limit of the Spark Lord's finances, and any more would affect the construction of the territory.
The elves were in full swing preparing supplies for war, and the dwarves knew nothing about it, so the year was spent in apparent peace.
In the spring, in the Oak Mountains, the personnel recruited by the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce to repair the road gathered together after a blast on the rock, and the dwarf who had fallen to the ground and had been stoned to death was not the focus of their gathering, their eyes were all on the blue transparent hedron that had been sprinkled on the ground.
A red-bearded dwarf licked his dry lips, "This is the magic crystal mine, I have dug it before~" After receiving his affirmation, several dwarven overseers immediately ran towards the camp, where there were the main members of the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce.
