Chapter 66, the strange Hastelloy strategy
In the Elven Forest, with the news of the outbreak of the war on the mainland, the three elven kings gathered together again.
In the eyes of the outside world, the elven race, which has been divided into three kingdoms, has long been full of contradictions, regards each other as heretics, and wants to put each other to death.
If it weren't for the pressure of the Terrans, they would have broken out into a civil war long ago. After all, who can tolerate heresy?
The three major races of forest elves, steppe elves, and night elves, but because of their different ideas, they built their own countries.
However, the atmosphere in the hall is completely different from what everyone imagined.
The three elf kings who haven't seen each other for a long time are like good sisters, continuing their family life together. There is no grievance that is forced by the situation and has to be united.
"Eldest sister, the situation is a little bad! The ambitions of the human race are even greater than we expected, and the frequency of launching continental wars is getting higher and higher.
Counting the history of continental wars in the last 10,000 years, except for those stupid and dirty orcs, the Terrans have provoked the most.
The most domineering thing is the introduction of the "Five-fold Superiority Act", which is purely about beating whoever is strong, and does not make the slightest sense at all.
Back then, in order to avoid the suppression of the human race, we had to accept the sage's suggestion and split because of disagreement.
can hide for a while, but can't hide for a lifetime. According to the expansion rate of the Terran's strength, I'm afraid it won't be long before we will still be eyeing us. ”
The Night Elf Queen said worriedly.
The elven race has been inherited from ancient times, and all the way to the present, it has also experienced countless winds and rains, but it has never been so urgent as now.
Even during the period when the most domineering orcs ruled the continent, the elves could say no to them.
The transition to the Terran era was when things changed. The Terrans are not so domineering, but the Terrans can play politics!
The orc empire at its peak seemed to be powerful, but the elves only needed to face one of the royal families, and there was no need to coax it at all.
The Terrans are not so aggressive, and they have not taken the initiative to invade the Elves in the past few hundred years, but the threat to them is even greater.
Seeing that all the races on the mainland, under the suppression of the human race, continue to decline, it is impossible not to panic.
"Don't worry, third sister. Back then, the sage had divination, and when the human race completely overwhelmed all the races on the mainland, it was also the beginning of their civil war.
My elven clan is in a safe corner, and the geographical location is the best cover. As long as we don't let a superpower appear among the Terrans in the Northern Continent, we won't be threatened.
The Terrans are the most selfish, and the southern and central Terran kingdoms will not go on expeditions for no reason. What good is it for the northern countries to attack us?
What's more, we are not easy to bully, we have been showing weakness over the years, but it doesn't mean that we are really weak!
If we really fight for our lives, we can completely drag a few Terran powers to finish together, are they willing to die with us? ”
The forest elf queen said murderously.
The elven race has been able to inherit from ancient times to the present, not because of "peace-loving", but because of its terrifying strength.
With excellent cultivation talent and a long enough lifespan, the elf clan is not lacking in masters.
The magic masters and great magic masters that are rare in the outside world, even if they are not all over the ground in the elven race, they are really not lacking.
Found in almost every elven village, there will be a magister.
You don't need to work hard, as long as you live long enough, you can become a master by grinding kung fu.
The only regret is that fertility is too low. The strength of the present is based on long-term accumulation. Once the vitality is depleted in the war, it may not be able to recover for hundreds of years.
For the elves, many times, even if they win on the battlefield, they will fail strategically.
The outside world only saw the elves paddling in the previous continental wars, and mistakenly thought that they had lost their fighting spirit, but they didn't know that this was a subfertile race and had to make a choice.
For the elves, it is very simple to participate in the continental war, and it is not difficult to sweep the entire northern continent, but the difficult thing is after the battle!
Theoretically speaking, if the elven race can join forces with all the races on the continent at any cost, there is every chance to pull the human race down from the overlord position.
But after pulling the Terrans down, they can only watch other races grow bigger, but they can't get any benefits for themselves.
With a population of millions in total, it doesn't make sense to give them more land.
One hundred and eighty years later, the other races have recovered further, and they are still licking their wounds.
Before they could recover, the new continent overlord came again. Continue to join forces with all the ethnic groups on the mainland, and then pull down the mainland overlord?
Even if they were able to win every war, they were getting weaker and weaker the more they fought. It didn't take long to toss his family's wealth.
If we can't afford a war of attrition, we can only rely on force to deter. Judging from the current situation, the strategy of the elves is still successful.
There are many Terran countries that have had conflicts with the elves, and those who dare to send troops to invade the elves have been extinct in the last few hundred years.
The last one did this, and the bones turned into silt, and they were left in the elven forest to nourish all things.
The current elf clan is like a rich second generation who has limited ability and has inherited a lot of wealth. As long as you don't go out to toss, you can live comfortably.
"What does the eldest sister mean is that we should still follow the original plan, symbolically send troops, and drag down part of the Terran troops?
But that's too cowardly. If the Terrans win again, the Interracial Alliance will probably be overwhelmed.
I think it's better to take this opportunity to wipe out the few Terran countries that indulge slave traders, expand the elven forest outward for hundreds of kilometers, and increase our strategic buffer! ”
The Prairie Elf Queen proposed.
The greatest damage of the human race to the elves is to capture slaves. Almost every year, there are disobedient elves who are poisoned by slave traders because they are curious about the outside world.
Because of this problem, the elves have had many disputes with the countries of the human race.
As for the few Terran countries next to the elves, it was purely because they were unlucky. Conniving at slave hunters is simply a crime of desire.
Begging for a living under the noses of the elves, the local nobles did not even dare to raise elven slaves, let alone capture them themselves.
They can't afford to mess with the elves, and they can't afford to mess with slave catchers from all over the continent.
Nominally, these notorious slave traders are a group of unruly mercenaries, but in fact, there are no weak people who can enter and exit the elven forest freely.
Under the system of the Aslant Continent, in addition to the vests of the major forces, where are there so many masters in the people?
The elves demanded that they fight the slave trade; The Terran world also has a demand for elven slaves, asking them to provide convenience for the slave trade.
As a small Terran country caught in the middle, it is purely a dilemma.
All they could do was promise the elves that they would fight the slave trade; On the other hand, he told the big forces involved: I didn't see anything.
The fight against the slave trade never stopped. It's just that the people who are hit are all wild slave traders, and they don't touch anything with a background background.
Relying on the left and right, they managed to survive, but they were also disgusted by the elves.
did not touch the bottom line, in order to take into account the overall situation, the elves did not do anything to them.
But that was peacetime, and now that we are in the period of the Continental War, the situation is different.
The Terran Alliance and the Interracial Alliance have already started a war, and the Elven Race, as one of the Interracial Alliances, has no problem attacking them at such a time.
"Let's wait a minute, the continental war has just begun, and the Terrans still have some strength in the northern continent, so we can't be the first birds.
I guess I guessed that the warlike orcs couldn't sit still now. The Terrans have just occupied the orc steppe, and their local foundation is not stable, and the seven countries of the steppe should not be able to stop the orc army.
When they destroy the Seven Kingdoms of the Steppe and the army reaches the doorstep of the Alpha Kingdom, we will make an example of the monkeys, and the price we need to pay will be much smaller.
Arranging for someone to send a batch of magical equipment to all ethnic groups on the continent can be regarded as our support for them. By the way, we are picking out some lethal secret methods to send over, and I guess our allies can use them.
The orcs will take the initiative to attack, so they will send more Demon Breaking Scrolls. lest they be blocked by the Terran city again, and delay time on the way. ”
The Forest Elf Queen said with a smile.
Mixing on the continent of Aslant requires not only strength, but also brains.
There are forces of allies that can be borrowed, not in vain. What's more, under the banner of supporting allies, it can sell a wave of favors.
The elves who have been paddled in all the continental wars have not been removed from the alien alliance, and the most important thing is that they have made substantial contributions to the war.
If you don't go to war, it's that the people love peace and have no desire to fight. When it comes to supporting allies, they are never ambiguous.
The assistance of all kinds of magical equipment and potions has never been interrupted. In order to support the various races on the mainland, the elven clan even arranged a teleportation magic array to each race.
If it weren't for the huge cost of this magic array, too many restrictions, and limited teleportation capabilities, the Alien Alliance would not have been in a passive state all the time.
……
The Orc Empire, the five beast emperors who escaped the last war, have once again gathered together.
Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them.
For the sake of being beaten together, everyone still pulled the Beamon clan at the moment of crisis, and did not let the five royal families become the four royal families.
After the loss of the fertile savannah, the power of the Orc Empire was greatly weakened. Even after weakening a number of vassal races in the war, the position of the five royal families is still unstable at this moment.
Crises do not originate from the outside, but also from within. The defeat exposed many hidden problems within the imperial court, and the spearhead was directed at the five emperors.
In the past, thunderous measures could have been used to suppress it. But this time it's different, and if you kill each other again, then there will be no one to use.
It is not a question of losing troops or losing generals, but of the sharp decline in the population of all ethnic groups, and the war potential has been greatly weakened.
Relying on the barren land alone is simply not enough to support their recovery. After more than two years of recuperation, some vassal races that can give birth to have a contradiction between population growth and lack of resources.
"Those idiots thought that if they didn't send troops, the Terrans would let them go, but they didn't expect that only two years had passed, and the continental war would break out.
If they had intervened earlier and joined forces with us, they would definitely be able to pull the Terrans down from their position as the overlord of the continent!
Now that the situation has collapsed, he thinks of us, why did you go earlier? ”
The Bear Man Emperor said viciously.
It can be seen that he is very dissatisfied with the performance of the Interracial Alliance in the last war.
kept saying that they wanted to support it, but when it came to concrete actions, they all used various excuses to prevaricate.
Aside from shouting a few mediations, it didn't provide much substantial help to the Orc Empire.
"Emperor Xiong is angry, now is not the time to be angry. No matter how far the Alien Alliance has done before, we can't afford to sit back and watch them lose.
If they hadn't held back the main force of the Terrans, we would never have been able to reclaim the orc steppes on our own.
Judging by the current situation, this war may already be the last chance for the alliance. If they are defeated by the human race again, their continental hegemony will really be unshakable!
In fact, we don't have a choice now. To be trapped in this corner is to wait for death.
Once the Seven Kingdoms of the Steppe have gained a firm foothold, it will be difficult to drive them out. ”
Alex said earnestly.
As the target of the Terrans, the life of the Beamon clan is really miserable now.
Even if the four clans pulled them along, they couldn't change the nature of the orc empire. As the weakest royal family, they were naturally assigned to the most barren territory.
Because of the small number of clansmen, they can barely support themselves, but if they want to feed the vassal races, it is a little difficult.
For a while, you can forcibly suppress the contradictions. However, with the passage of time, the contradiction of insufficient resources will erupt sooner or later.
If you don't want to get caught up in infighting, you can only fight out. As long as the orc savannah is recovered, there will be no such troubles for at least a few decades.
"Emperor Beamon is right, we really can't sit still. If the human race continues to grow, sooner or later it will usher in the disaster of extinction.
I can see that they just want to dominate the continent, and they are not ready to leave room for all kinds of living at all.
At this moment of no retreat, I don't believe that the elves can still watch the excitement from the sidelines. With their participation, at least the Terrans can be driven out of the Northern Continent.
The opportunity for revenge is here, and it cannot be missed. Taking advantage of the unstable foundation of the Seven Kingdoms of the Grassland, we will destroy them first.
Whether to accept it when it is good in the future, or to go all the way south to destroy the Alpha Kingdom, can be decided depending on the development of the situation! ”
The Lion Emperor said murderously.
It can be seen that he is really not confident. There is still confidence in taking the Seven Kingdoms of the Grassland, but there is only one thought left for the destruction of the Alpha Kingdom.
There is no way, the current strength of the orc empire is insufficient, and he is not hard to speak.
If he had laid out the chariots and horses and pulled them out for a field battle, he would still have the confidence to defeat the Alpha Kingdom, but it would only be a defeat.
To smash the turtle shell along the way and destroy the Alpha Kingdom in one fell swoop, the Lion Emperor didn't dare to think about it now.
The main forces were badly damaged, and the cannon fodder units were also insufficient. No matter how much the cannon fodder race can be born, it will take time.
"Since you both want to fight, then I will accompany you to the end. Take it back to the prairie first, and then go to the Alfa to settle accounts! ”
The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor gritted his teeth and said.
The savannah is the best place for wolves to live. When they arrived in this poor country, they were about to change to grazing.
……
While the various ethnic groups on the mainland were preparing for war, the mountain territory also began a meeting to decide the future fate of the territory.
The high-level members of the territory and the core members of the Coslow family who were able to rush back all gathered together at this moment to discuss the war on the mainland.
The younger generation is eager to try, wanting to grab greater achievements in the next chaos; The older ones were completely different, frowning and worried.
Glancing at everyone's expressions, Hudson said directly: "The main reason for calling you here today is to tell you that the years of peace are coming to an end, and we must be ready for war.
A continental war is inevitable, and when it will affect the Alpha Kingdom and when it will affect our mountain territory, everything is unknown.
On the kingdom side, you don't have to worry too much. If you can avoid participating in war, you will definitely find a way to avoid it; If you can participate in this war late, you will definitely not participate early.
What we need to do now is to seize the time to prepare for the war, and at the same time, we must also seize the time to develop the territory.
First of all, the training of the national reserves, which will resume again from now on. The original plan to gradually reduce the number of wasteland and turn to the development of a light industrial economy has now been completely cancelled.
There is food in the hand, and there is no panic in the heart.
What we need to do now is to open up more wasteland and store more grain. First set a target of raising the territory's grain reserves to 500,000 tons within one year and 800,000 tons within two years.
The Ministry of Government first organized manpower to repair the warehouse for me. It is better to wait for food in an empty warehouse than to have no place to pile up food when it comes.
Relying on the land alone will definitely not be able to accomplish the goal. But it doesn't matter, the southeastern province is a big grain producing province, and we can still go out and buy it.
The flames of war will not burn for a while, and this is the best chance. The Ministry of Commerce went down to implement it for me, and while the news had not yet spread and the price of grain had not yet risen, it opened up the purchase for me.
In addition to the development of agriculture, the development of fisheries must also be accelerated. Inform the shipyard and ask them to prioritize the production of fishing vessels.
In addition to my daily needs, this year the fishery department must contribute 8,000 tons of dried fish to me, and next year this number will be doubled as a reserve for the territory's military rations.
On the battlefield, these dried fish are excellent food. The Ministry of Government Affairs should pay close attention to implementation.
If there is a monster in the sea, send someone to inform you immediately, and I will let Maxim help you solve the trouble.
In addition to these tasks, there is another work priority, which is to seize the time to have children.
Especially the younger generation in the family, as long as they are of age, they will be arranged first.
The battlefield is changing, and no one knows what will happen in the future. It's better to leave a bloodline inheritance in advance than to end up in ......"
The sudden change made the young family members very confused. The previous content is normal, how did it suddenly become a large-scale marriage promotion and birth scene?
However, Hudson's reasons were too good for them to refuse.
Even if you have an idea in your heart and want to wait for you to become famous, you can only dispel this idea now.
Arrogance, that also has to be divided into objects. When they met Hudson, a successful head of the family in his twenties, they really couldn't get up.
Looking at the depressed face of the younger generations of the family, Hudson smiled slightly. Be honest and obedient, that's right.
No matter how the situation in the outside world develops, there is nothing wrong with having more children. He is still very relieved about the fertility talent of the Coslow family.
Compared to other families, this is the biggest advantage. As long as we seize the time to have more children now, our own population advantage will become more and more obvious after the war.
What's more, in any world, it pays attention to the upward and downward effects, as long as the nobles above are willing to take the lead in giving birth, the serfs below will definitely be willing to follow.
Anyway, the cost of raising is the responsibility of the lord, and they don't need to worry about it.
……
