Chapter 275: Conspiracy in Concealment

The speech ended smoothly, and although the response was enthusiastic, how much effect it can achieve depends on the subsequent development;

However, Nesta is confident that the citizens have continued the simplicity of the barbarian period in character, and that even his level of encouragement and encouragement should be enough for a long time to become 'chicken blood' to prompt them to seek their own progress in all areas with a more positive attitude.

Afterwards, Nesta did not leave directly, but pulled the students and teachers of all grades to have a general exchange, and after a more intuitive understanding of their thoughts, they said goodbye to the overly enthusiastic little ones and returned to their offices.

~~~~~

In the office, Aisara, who had returned earlier, was already waiting, and at this time she greeted her with a smile.

"How am I?" Nesta turned her face sideways and pointed to the corner of her lips to gesture to her partner.

"Very good performance~ is the reward for one."

After offering a kiss, Nesta said goodbye to Azhara, who was about to go to the rest of the branch fortresses to make rounds, and summoned the ruling officials to make another remonstrance;

And when they arrived, they had a small meeting in a small office....

"The administrative cooperation must be in place, and you must not let down the fire that has been ignited in the hearts of the people, and you must actively meet all the benign needs of all parties;"

"But when there are really shortcomings, or things that can't be done, don't hold on;"

"Whatever the issue is, even if it is put in order and submitted to the council, our side will try to coordinate as much as possible;"

"If the materials are not enough, we will increase the production line, and if the knowledge is not enough, we will carry out special development, and now we can do more, do better, and do it faster, understand?"

After some exchanges, the leaders of the various departments of the ruling government were sent away, and then Nesta called several active agents of the army on this side, and also made relevant instructions,

"You should already know the situation in the northern continent, so ocean exploration will be our main goal at this stage;"

"Understood!"

"Well, in view of this, the council is ready to normalize the submarine fortress, which will become the general advance base facing the ocean, and the army will also play a corresponding role in this process, after this process."

"Understood, what exactly do we need to do?"

"The first point is that the forward base will play an important military role in the future, so you need to exclude the participation of engineers in the expansion and construction, and deepen your understanding of the situation in the base in the process;"

"Command! The army's engineering corps will immediately go into action. ”

"Second, it is necessary to prepare for the establishment of combat units specifically aimed at the sea, so as to further strengthen our combat effectiveness and ability to gain a foothold in the sea."

"Combat power in the sea .... Do you mean to continue to speed up the assembly of battleships and other armaments? ”

"No, the target this time is not land or surface units, the battleship's attack method is too serious, and the threat ability to the seabed is insufficient;"

"And now, the sea monster is our primary imaginary enemy, so what needs to be strengthened is the ability to move at various depths below the surface of the sea, even up to the deep sea;"

"The submarine I proposed earlier is one of those ideas .... But you still need to come up with more choices according to the actual situation, and refine the current options. ”

"Understood, we will immediately convene the staff for discussion."

"Very good, I will arrange the relevant research institutes, and then do a good job of docking."

"Understood!"

"Okay, let's go first..... Hurry up. ”

"Understood!"

~~~~~~~

Many things are being planned, and after a month, an important piece of information from the mainland arrives, which reads:

'The elite forces of the Twin Kings City are rapidly moving south, aiming directly at the wolf pack activity area around 034 City, followed by a total of 30,000 multi-race coalition troops with 10,000 Mengqi as the core; The speed of the march is ......, and the strength analysis is ...... ’

"You got the information over there, right? The vanguard that set out first, suspected to be the guardians of the altar of the royal city, numbered about a thousand, which should be one-thirtieth of the overall size, and this was the first time we had the opportunity to see this team......"

Putting down the information in his hand, Nesta said into the air in the empty office.

"Received, the mainland base station said that the person in charge of this battle is the Mengqi hero Aleksai, who seems to be the position of the captain of the altar, and the altar guards of the forward, as well as the 10,000 royal city troops in the coalition army, are all his subordinates...... It's just that this guy actually chose to walk with the pioneer. ”

The power of the fangs sounded out of thin air in the vibration of the air, and Nesta was of course not surprised by this, only to see him groan and continue,

"I analysed the various data displayed on the following voice, and then compared it with the physical fitness of the Mengqi that we knew..... The strength of this Aleksai has reached the level of the Twelve Wolf Kings, and the altar defenders under his command are all at the same level as the Wind Wolf, and the officer level is equivalent to the Lord Wolf...... So, are there about 30 such teams? ”

"Hmm.... The total number of guards at the altar of the royal city seems to be around 30,000, and judging from the data shown this time, the quality of the warriors in it is almost equal to that of our elven warriors; ”

"Moreover, if they fight within the radius radiated by the altar, their strength will also be increased depending on the strength of the altar, which is considered a very considerable combat power in any case.... As for that Aleksai, it will be difficult for me and Roughtooth to deal with alone, and it is estimated that only you and Aishshara can easily deal with it in the entire kingdom for the time being. ”

"But it stands to reason that it should not be, by the quality of the Mengqi species..... The strength of this army is seriously exceeded, could it be that their cultivation system is so much stronger than ours? Can you force the gap between innate beings in a few decades? ”

"Fang's doubts are also my puzzle, it's not that we haven't captured their cultivation system, it's indeed fine enough, and it's also very targeted for the Mengxi, but it really shouldn't show such an effect."

Azhara was not currently in the main fortress of the seabed, but in the branch fortresses in the rest of the directions, and at this moment the participation was also mediated by magic, so its voice was also vibrating through the air.

“..... Do you want to try to catch him and his altar guards? They're going to war anyway, so it's normal to be dead or missing, right? Fangs proposed with great interest at this time, "The vanguard is too fast, and the distance from the large army will inevitably continue to increase, if we send the elite, we will definitely be able to make them have no return!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey.... Don't you forget why we're hiding here now, and do we want to provoke again? Rough Fang hurried out to stop his adventurous thoughts.

But Nesta was lost in thought.......

After a long time, he proposed,

"It's really not appropriate for us to go out in person..... But can you discuss it with the twelve wolf kings? Hire them to go along? ”

"I think it's feasible, they are also wolves, and it's not abrupt to appear there, and after capturing Alekse, you can detain them in the north for a while, and find out if the two kings have the ability to follow their tracks before talking about anything else."

"Azhara is right, you can catch it, but you can't bring it back right away.... After the wolf king succeeded, he was transferred to it and locked him up for three or five months, as long as there was enough time, then everything was tried. Fangs said.

"Well.... Then I have no objection, what about the wolf king's side? What chips can we give? They don't really do what we do. After the rough tooth agreed again, he asked another question.

In this regard, Nesta also fell into a short thought,

"That's a problem, after all, there's nothing missing..... No, how about strengthening the combat power? Isn't that what they need? ”

"Totem? Just like the little ones' companion monsters? ”

"That's right, optical stealth, and additional bonuses in terms of physical explosiveness and agility can also be considered..... They can all be given through totems, and they can pay before they work, just enough to provide assistance in this battle. ”

"Okay, I don't have a problem..... But it's best to leave some backdoors, and in case of an emergency, it's good to destroy the totem remotely. ”

"It's easy.... Moreover, if you plan to develop territorial mercenaries in the future, it seems that you can also use this means to make restrictions? Even the totems can be erased, and even the rebellious individuals can be eliminated directly....."

Ms. Aishara ..... Well, your proposal is a bit vicious, but it's a good idea. ”

"Hmph.... I will be back in three days, Your Excellency the President of the Council, and you will pay for that. ”

"Ahem..... Break up the meeting, I'll do it on the wolf king's side. ”

~~~~~~~~~~

After the meeting, Nesta sent the news to the Wolf King's territory, and while waiting for his reply, he began to verify the feasibility of Aesara's plan.....

As it turned out, this was a viable option, and it could be imposed on more than just 'mercenaries'....

With this layer of protection, combined with the two functions of 'positioning' and 'destruction', even the promotion of totem industrial products in the subordinate races has become a feasible and safe thing, and there is no need to be as cautious as it is now;

At that time, the city-states of the northern plateau will have more powerful productive forces than they are now, and will be able to gain a truly controlled external market for the country's totemic industrial products.

And as a result, the Republic's demand for 'foreigners' was also brought to the table......

In the division of the northern tribes in the Black Forest, there are actually the following categories:

First, Laiyin, Mengqiu, and fangs;

These three stand side by side in the west, middle and north, and are the most powerful ethnic groups on the continent today, and the altar of their ancestors is very likely to be a living, individual strength is the strongest 'Almighty' on the mainland.... Or 'Approximate Almighty'.

second, with the eastern part of the continent as the base camp, there are also many secondary forces that exist sporadically among the other three powers;

These races have their own independent territories, and there are also slave tribes under their command, and their own racial combat power is relatively strong, which can be said to be a regional powerhouse on the side of the small tyrant;

Moreover, there may also be 'near-omnipotence' behind them, but maybe weaker than the top three?

third, a race in which a small number of compatriots have become slaves, but have independent power of their own;

This side is represented by the hornhoof, or their nemesis, the 'Seti', whose altars are very special and can be used passively, but are very weak, which makes the witch doctors unsure of the state of their 'protectors'.

Fourth, most of the compatriots were reduced to slavery, and the remaining half were either struggling in the desolate areas or surviving under the protection of the two kings of Mengqiu, and their ancestral altars existed sporadically but completely failed;

Fifth, almost all of them were slaves and servile, unwilling to resist or accept the protection of the two kings, but grateful to the slave owner race.

After weighing the pros and cons, the witch doctors decided that the fourth of the five categories was the most suitable target for the headquarters, and devised a plan to subdue them and prepare to place them in the fragmented plateaus of the northern mountains.

In the previous battle against the city of Double Kings 034, the Republic had captured tens of thousands of sheltered people, and most of them were creatures from this group;

With some proper training and covert restraint, they may be able to become lobbyists, dealers, and ..... in the Black Forest

However, there is a prerequisite for this, and that is that the captives are indeed living in peace under the care of the elves, and that such peace is not short-lived.

Only then will they be able to truly identify with their act of 'persuasion' and sincerely believe that it is indeed for the sake of their own community.

But for now, although in the two or three months before the start of the 'escape', the elven engineers had already helped the captives to build a city and establish a state, so that they could initially have a stable living environment;

But after all, the time was too short, and they had only seen the murderous side of the elves not long ago, so their minds had not really settled down, nor had they changed the impression left by the previous battle;

Therefore, at least now is not the time to carry out the plan, and after this period of concealment, the headquarters must still be appeased;

It wasn't until they had lived and multiplied here for a generation or two, developed a sense of belonging to the place, and confirmed the elves' 'friendliness and peace', that the time for the follow-up plans began.

When he first wrote down this policy and sent it to the council to discuss the feasibility, Nesta finally waited for the wolf king's reply....

The result was good, and two wolf kings were willing to take over the 'one deal', which Nesta welcomed and asked the closer Rough Fang to send an executor to carry out the totem inscription plan.

Because the wolf kings are too sensitive, in this totem depiction, in addition to the 'destruction of the totem', this side did not have too many private goods in it;

And the only 'private goods' are only for the purpose of 'preventing leakage', and they have no malice towards the wolf kings, so they are not aware of them, so the inscription of the totem is very smooth;

About three days later, the two pairs of wolf kings who had received the totem were transported to the habitat chosen by the wolves in the north in a small high-speed airship, ready to surprise the heroes and their vanguard army......

When this matter was arranged and the wolf king was sent away, the military department's discussion of the previous proposal and requirements of Nesta had been completed.

The military first envisioned the plan for deep-sea exploration, and then got specific needs according to the plan, and then, in the process of discussing with the research institute in charge of docking, they were told which projects could be done, which projects were not available for the time being, and which projects were purely whimsical....

As a result, after repeated exchanges with various parties, the initial requirements were finally determined and entered the design process.

After the design is completed, the first generation of test models will be manufactured by the relevant research institutes 'freehand', and improvements will be made at any time according to the actual operation;

When the final prototype is finalized, the Witch Doctors will be responsible for changing it from the 'manual production' model to the 'industrial production' model, and design the corresponding assembly line in connection with the existing factory.

Depending on the experience accumulated and the number of witch doctors that have skyrocketed, this process is estimated to last from a few months to about half a year......

~~~~~~

About a month had passed, and when Nesta had suffered a burst of 'revenge' after Azhara's return, the latest information from the north had been delivered......

'The Altar Guards, who are in the vanguard, have arrived in Double Kings 034 and are ready to start an encirclement of the wolves after resting...... The primary target, Alekse, was with the Vanguard, and the large coalition forces were placed under the command of their adjutants..... The four wolf kings are ready to go into action. ’

"Very good, Aleksei is well done! But it's understandable, after all, the altar guards are the troops he values the most, hahaha! ”

In the slightly arrogant laughter of the fangs, a voice sighed abruptly and said,

"It's a pity...."

"What a pity? It's a pity that he was going to be captured? Ha! Rough Teeth, when did you start to sympathize with the enemy? ”

"What nonsense, I mean it's a pity that we can't see the battle scene, it's still a bit abstract to rely on the voice capture of the mainland base station alone, and there is no way to intuitively feel his strength and his fighting style."

"What's that, when everything is done, we will fight again in our territory, and this time we don't want to kill him."

"Yes too.... But can't we think of a way to 'spread light'? We are looking for ways to intuitively receive 'light signals' from afar, so that the current 'listening' can become 'surveillance'. When the time comes, as long as the mainland base station is upgraded.... In other words, this function is directly attached to the airship to create a mobile surveillance platform....."

"Very good idea.... Although it may seem a bit difficult, let's start searching for Warcraft with 'light'-related abilities.... Also, there is no news about the magical beasts that have mastered thunder and lightning spells? Nesta said.

"There's news, but the target is moving too fast and our scouts are missing..... Moreover, the 'Protector' seems to have a strong grasp of thunder, if we really take 'Thunder' as an important development direction, will it become a tool for it to counter us in the future? ”

"It's possible, but that's not a reason for us not to study, let's get the knowledge in hand first, and then it's up to us whether we use it or not?"

"The Speaker of the Parliament is right.... Then send more forces to find it, and the 'light' side is also the same, so that the scouts from all sides will pay attention. ”

"Well, that's it.... Let's wait for the monitoring report from the wolf king, it is estimated that it will only be a few days, and the meeting will be dismissed today. ”

~~~~~~

In the north, the southern part of the two republics sheltered the Viceroyalty, with the original 034 city as the center and a radius of 800 kilometers, is the temporary territory of more than 3,000 wind wolves.....

The arrival of the four wolf kings actually made the wolves nervous for a while at first, after all, the former regarded them as traitors, and the hostility in their eyes was clear;

However, as time passed in waiting, the wiser lord wolves were the first to settle down, for they found that the four rulers who had once been high now did not seem to dare to do anything to their own wolves.

It is true that after all, the family background of the four wolf kings is all under the nose of the republic, so they can only choose to wait alone away from the wolf pack at this time.

Fortunately, the wolves are still in awe of the strong, and they have not gained an inch, but under the long-range instruction of Nesta, they are always ready to cooperate with the wolf king's actions.

It wasn't until the middle of March of the rune calendar that the Menghu hero Aleksei arrived with the most elite forwards, and the action finally began in the tacit agreement of the wolves.....

The four wolf kings did not directly protrude their faces, but first attracted the enemy's attention by the rest of the wolves, and gradually led the vanguard army away to more remote areas, and then slowly approached after opening the new 'mastered' stealth skill.....

In order to make this mission smooth, in addition to stealth, the Republic has also imposed high-end totems on them in terms of strength and agility, so that these four already powerful wolf kings have been forcibly increased by about 30% of their combat power, and finally assisted them in a relatively easy battle in action......

Of course, on all other levels, the battle was no easy one, and the wolves suffered heavy losses in the battle against the large forces of the altar guards;

On the whole, the relatively weak low-level wind wolves were almost killed and wounded, the giant wind wolves also lost nearly a third of their lives in the battle, and the powerful and swift lord wolves suffered the smallest losses, only about forty or so dead;

After this battle, the initial wolf pack of about 3,000 remained, with more than 260 lord wolves, about 1,000 wind wolves, and less than 100 wind wolves.....

And the result of them was the total annihilation of the most elite altar garrison on the opposite side.

The four wolf kings, on the other hand, captured Aleksai alive in a near-unharmed state, and after eliminating his mobility, sent him to the underground prison prepared by the scouts of this side;

Subsequently, they returned to the Black Forest in an airship, returned to their own territory, and hurriedly exchanged opinions with the other wolf kings on the 'credibility', 'insidiousness', and 'ability to strengthen combat effectiveness' of the republic;

Leave aside the matter for the time being....

In this battle, the elves can be said to be in a state of 'hidden' throughout the whole process, whether it is the battle, or the reception of prisoners, or the subsequent captivity, there is no trace of their participation, and everything is done by the wolves independently;

And after the detention of Alex and a small number of other officers, the scouts remained silent under the instructions of the Republic, and let them starve, as long as they watched from a distance not to escape after inexplicably recovering.

And Mengqiu here....

After a few more days, Alekse's adjutant cautiously halted the advance of the coalition forces, as news from the vanguard vanished suddenly;

Subsequently, on the one hand, he arranged for the rangers to go to the front to investigate, and on the other hand, he sent troops to report the changes in the city as quickly as possible.....

Judging from the relatively primitive speed of information exchange in the Menghu country, it will take at least more than a month to go;

The Black Forest, on the other hand, learned the details on the same day.....
