Early the next morning, the convoy counted the supplies at the east gate of Valentine and made a final inspection before departure!

After the simplified vehicle, there are not many parts, and it only takes a skilled master to learn for half a month to fully master it!

At this moment, in order to see off the convoy of future allies, Ted and the city council all arrived at the east gate of the city.

After a series of simple but unnecessary ceremonies, the entourage boarded the vehicle in full gear.

Outside the car, Ted stood at the front and waved to the vehicle as it was about to leave: "I wish you all a smooth journey, and I hope you can clarify our thoughts with the Great Chief and hand over the documents to him..."

Broken Tooth accepted Ted's kindness and gave him a thumbs up, then placed his right hand on his left chest and responded sincerely:

"No problem, Mr. Earl, I will bring your words, I think my father will agree to an alliance between the two sides! The Rainstorm Tribe around us, as well as the Raging Wind Tribe are all allied with our Fire Tribe and I believe that with your strength, we will be able to defeat the Green Forest Tribe once and for all and prevent their plot from succeeding! ”

Especially after learning about the 'master', Ted couldn't sleep well, and always felt that something big would happen on this trip!

If this alliance is formed, it can defeat the Green Forest Tribe at once and dispel the ominous premonition in his heart, which can be regarded as a worthwhile trip.

"Then please, if the plan goes well, we... See you tomorrow night? ”

"Yes sir, I'm sure we'll meet tomorrow night!"

...

After a short greeting, the roar of the engine was heard, and 20 military trucks loaded with arms and supplies set off for the Gobi Road on the outskirts of the monster forest.

Looking at the smoke and dust kicked up by the convoy in the distance, Chris came up.

He had a lot of questions in his mind, and he didn't know why the lord would consider forming an alliance, especially with such a large and dangerous creature.

Although they have saved some of humanity, it cannot be inferred that all of them are good.

At that time, looking at Ted's confident appearance, Chris did not question it, and according to the specific treaty of the first alliance, there would not be much communication between the two sides, and it was only some arms trade.

Therefore, after discussion, the team did not veto the alliance, but instead had a try-out mentality.

If the plan goes well, you can continue to communicate, and if something goes wrong, you can stop it in time and end the alliance amicably.

Still, Chris wanted to get a glimpse of Ted's thoughts, and it never hurts to learn.

Moreover, as a vassal of the Hairington family for generations, he was privately entitled to question and get answers in such special matters, which was a family tradition.

"My lord, can you tell me why you want to form an alliance with these dangerous creatures? We carried out the mission according to your orders, and you said that we should not ask more, but we also have to record it..."

Ted can't tell Chris he has a cheat... The last time I saw the dragon, I saw the moon elf before, and I forgot to use the system to scan it thoroughly.

But this time he didn't forget!

"Chris, your question is good, let's talk as we go..."

Judging from the data manual, this fire tribe is a stunned young man among the Oaks, compared to the cunning and insidious greenskins, this group of redskins still maintains the traditions from tens of thousands of years ago, including sacrifices and practices, all according to the original appearance.

In other words, they are simple-minded, and with a little guidance, they can transform them into their own!

It's just that Ted can't say this, so he answers from a reasonable angle...

"Chris, do you think we'd be afraid of these creatures with the equipment we have?"

Recalling the weapons he had seen, as well as the new mortars, and the results of the previous days, Chris shook his head: "Probably not, even if they are very large, they are not worth mentioning under our guns, it's just... If the alliance with them goes well, it will enter the next stage, and there will inevitably be people-to-people contacts in the future, which is what we are afraid of. ”

It's not unreasonable for Chris to say this, and it's indispensable to guard against people!

But... These Ted have already arranged: "Your scruples are very reasonable, but I want to say that there is no such possibility on my turf!" Because I was going to set up two military departments, one was now the regular army, and the other was called the 'National Guard,' which was a policing center of trained militia and veterans. ”

"They will be on duty around the clock with weapons in all corners to keep the city safe!"

Ted did this not only to maintain law and order, but also to consider the number of troops in advance in the future!

Because he is still a nobleman of the empire, although he does not enforce the laws of the nobles very much, he still has to pretend on key matters, especially the number of troops.

He is not powerful enough to be the enemy of the entire empire, and supporting the army is directly tantamount to rebellion, and there will be no room for reversal.

After that, all the nobles will unite against themselves, and this crime can be much more serious than "giving food to the people for free" and "being a good man", these are at most only mavericks, and they conflict with the interests of other nobles, but they will not turn their faces or face each other.

As a lord of one side, Ted can do anything wrong in his own land, even if he verbally clamors for rebellion, others don't bother to care.

As long as no substantive action is made, no one will come to the dog to take the mouse! An army of 20,000 is not enough to rebel in everyone's opinion, and even if the nobles hear it, they will only take it as a rumor.

After all, if you kill a nobleman today, it is difficult to guarantee that bad luck will not befall you next time.

Therefore, in the case of non-necessity, it will not target a nobleman, nor will it ask for the execution of a nobleman, if the emperor wants to do something, other nobles will come to intercede regardless of whether they have anything to do with him! After all, this precedent cannot be set.

If you insist on exploding troops, it is not impossible.

It's just that even if Ted has the ability to kill everyone, what can he get?

A pile of ruins? And a bunch of people who are not convinced of themselves? There is no point in such a war!

It's better to follow the rules for the time being, with Steve as a cover for himself, and no more than 20,000 people in armor and military uniforms.

Because the laws of the empire stipulate that the number of troops of the earl shall not exceed 20,000, but there is no limit for the militia, so Ted can be regarded as a reasonable range of troops!

Hearing this, Chris raised his pen and made a brief estimate...

It works, but military spending is the most expensive of all! Raising one more soldier is at least equal to the value generated by 20 workers, and even if it is a militia, it is at least equal to the gross product of five workers.

"My lord, you will indeed solve the employment problem of some people, but it will also increase the operating costs of the city! We don't seem to have enough taxes..."

Ted wasn't worried about this, but he had to sell off: "Hey, hey, hey! Chris, you don't have to worry about this, someone will pay for our actions, we'll talk about that later..."

...

Chatting and chatting, Chris felt that something was wrong: "Eh... My lord, I just said about the alliance of the Fire Tribe, how did you get here? ”

"Hi... Continuing with what I just said... The Fire Tribe you said, I'm not afraid of them doing things! ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"If they agree to form an alliance, we will sell weapons to help them unify the monster forest, if they don't agree to form an alliance, it doesn't matter, everyone has their own way. But if they dare to attack us, I don't mind destroying them together..."

When he said this, Ted only mentioned it lightly, but made Chris next to him gasp.

In Ted's eyes, he can treat humans as equal creatures, and elves as equal creatures, but such a big and violent Oak... If you don't have a life-or-death friend, it's hard to think of them as equal creatures...

The so-called 'equality' of the world is only equality within one's own cognition, and they will not equate themselves with some kind of livestock.

Just like the slogan of protecting animals, people will protect cats and dogs, but they will not feel sorry for the second brother in the farm, because subconsciously, although pigs are animals, they do not deserve to be protected...

The ability of the human category is not good, but the history of playing double standards must be tens of thousands of years, so there is a long way to go to put the red skin in the 'equality goal'...

If you want to change this traditional thinking, you have to look at the next development.

After hearing this, Chris put away his handkerchief and opened the notebook again to the page of weapons data...

Judging from the weapon data obtained, it didn't make him suddenly enlightened, but he felt that the lord was 'convulsive' again: "My lord, there are many dangers in that monster forest, although our weapons are powerful, they are still very rebellious!" You can't destroy all the creatures in the jungle! Even if you force your attack, you will pay a lot of casualties! ”

Ted had expected Chris to say that, and he turned around with a smile and pulled out a copy of the Northern Environmental Record and handed it to Chris.

"Turn to page 233 and it's written!"

However, even if Chris turned to the specified number of pages, he didn't know exactly what Ted was trying to do.

It records the weather in the north for each month for nearly 20,000 years, including snowfall, rainfall, and wind direction.

Seeing that Chris didn't react, Ted continued to pretend to be a fool and explained: "Chris, you are very good at recording and analyzing, but you are not so good in military and tactics, as you said, everyone's energy is limited..."

At this point, Ted was not ready to continue selling Guanzi, but began to explain: "Chris, compared to the damage caused by war, what do you think of the natural disasters? ”

"Your Excellency... What do you mean..."

Say the answer directly, it's better to say half the sentence and let the answerer use his brain!

"How does the death toll from the floods and droughts, as well as the snow disasters we have faced in the north, compare to the casualties caused by the battles on the battlefield?"

The answer to the question is obvious, and Chris doesn't need to use his brain to know the answer: "This... Natural disasters do more damage..."

"Is there any way to artificially cause or say... Triggering some natural disasters? ”

Speaking of which, Chris roughly understood Ted's intentions, and then waved his hand to signal Ted to give up the idea: "My lord... Are you going to set fire to the monster forest? Can... The ancestors also did not think about it, they also tried, but never succeeded ... Because Greenskin has water-based magic, it can extinguish the fire in time! ”

That's what people who don't know about chemistry do. So far, people's perception of fire has only stopped at 'it can be extinguished with water'.

But Ted was a master of chemistry in his last life, and the topic of this kind of pediatrics couldn't be simpler: "I know you will say this, but I will not despise or ridicule you, because I have a precedence in hearing and specialising in art, and I may not be as good as you in economics and management, but I still have quite a contribution in chemistry!" ”

"That's... What is the method? "Chris has a good habit of taking out a notebook to prepare for a record when he encounters knowledge that he doesn't understand...

However... Some things are better kept secret, just like this kind of hurtful method, or don't appear in the world for the time being: "Eh, I can't remember this article, if you write it down, I will become a demon in the world!" ”

Hearing this, Chris immediately guessed what Ted wanted to do.

Judging from the tone, it may be even more excessive than the last time I proposed to overdose 'E. coli' in the water!

"Do you know white phosphorus? Do you know that we produce gasoline and diesel and kerosene? Why do I have to install a fire protection system to get the plant up and running..."

"Because once these things are ignited, they can't be extinguished by water alone, and once the fire reaches an uncontrollable level, magic is useless..."

Ted is not a fool, if there is a real conflict, he will definitely not think about the enemy like a virgin, but will take advantage of the poor information and technology to sneak attack to the death!

At the time of life and death, how much dung does the brain have to be loaded to talk about martial arts with the enemy?

If the enemy does surrender, that's another matter.

"All we need to do is light a fire on the outskirts of the forest and let the dragons sprinkle some material in the sky... BOOM！ And then the forest is gone! Don't say anything about the Fire Tribe or the Greenskins, there is no grass wherever the flames go..."

"Because the north wind blows day and night from February to June, and there are a lot of pine trees in the woods! We just need to light a fire and add some ingredients, and the rest... Nature will take care of it for us~"

"At that time, we will have another piece of land in the north~"

After listening to Ted's whole plan, Chris trembled his hands and picked up a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, taking this one to heart.

If it weren't for the last resort, Ted wouldn't have done such a thing as a denied offspring and a determinant cause, after all, destroying the natural environment would only lead to self-destruction, and no one wants to kill themselves!

But everything you do, you have to be careful about developing any relationship, Ted seems to be harmless to humans and animals, but... He's not a good guy, at least not himself.

Ever since he had been in this world for a month and had thoroughly adapted to his surroundings, he had begun to hatch no less than thirty plans and defenses in his mind.

This includes, but is not limited to, Chris's betrayal of himself, his own assassination, his kidnapping, and being guillotined by the townspeople.

Even to his own wives, he was prepared for the worst!

If you want to control them, you have to master the weaknesses of all of them, just like Batman befriending Superman, and it doesn't prevent him from having a massive inventory of kryptonite in his warehouse.

He can never be used, but never without.

...

Ten hours later, the convoy followed the periphery of the Monster Forest to the forest jurisdiction of the Fire Tribe.

The next moment, a burnt smell and a pungent smell of blood also came!

Not far away, thick smoke rose everywhere, and the sound of shouting and killing from time to time made everyone tense their nerves!

Broken Tooth hurriedly jumped out of the car, looked at the smoke in the distance and said to himself, "What's going on?" What happened? ”

"Ahem..."

A faint cough sounded, and everyone followed the voice!

Not far away, a dying Fire Tribe soldier lay in a pool of blood, seemingly dying at any moment...

Seeing this, Broken Tooth and the others quickly came to the soldiers with weapons...
