Chapter VII Between Alliances
In this way, the main goal of the search team became the search for mineral salt.
As a result, the search area was greatly expanded, and almost all mobile troops were dispatched.
Over the next few days, the lords' quarters were almost complete.
The number of lords joining the Sunset Alliance is the highest ever.
Now there are a total of 186 lords in the entire alliance, and it can be said that the current Sunset Alliance is already a huge alliance force.
The total number of troops under his command has also reached 60,000, and Chen Zhiran alone has a population of more than 8,000.
Now he completely relies on numbers to support his voice in the alliance.
However, because there were too many people, the shortcomings of the lack of food were quickly revealed, and several times he was proposed by other lords to reduce his food supply, if it wasn't for Qin Anming to appease everyone with his own strength, I am afraid that Chen Zhiran would have to reduce his own food under the pressure of many lords.
Under pressure, Chen Zhiran finally found a food crop to replace meat as a staple food, and he speculated that the yield of this food crop was not low.
This kind of grain is similar to wheat, without using fields, his seeds are on the stem, less can produce two ears, more directly is 4 or five, Chen Zhiran named it stem rice, the discovery of this high-yield food crop, let Chen Zhiran breathe a sigh of relief.
Unfortunately, meat is consumed too quickly, and it takes time for the rice to mature, and it is not enough to provide it immediately.
But when you think about it, this is in another world, there is magic, and in the case of magic, nothing is impossible.
I saw that the stalks planted that day were ripe on the same day after several ripening spells were used.
Looking at this acre of grain, Qin Anming said to Chen Zhiran: "Chen Zhiran, you are our great hero, you finally don't have to eat meat every day, I'm almost tired of eating."
Chen Zhiran: "Boss Qin, don't praise me, you are clear and clear in your heart, and my troops consume the most food, if it weren't for your strength, I wouldn't be able to support it now."
Qin Anming: "Hey, these are two different things, can it be that in the alliance, you eat food for your troops, you account for half at most."
Chen Zhiran naturally knew that Qin Anming was comforting him, Chen Zhiran said: "Boss Qin, don't laugh at me, let's see if this kind of food is the main food."
More than a dozen people gathered around to take a closer look, and found that this plant could completely replace meat as a staple food.
Seeing everyone nodding affirmatively, the big stone that was suddenly pressing on Chen Zhiran's heart was removed.
"Boss Qin, Boss Qin, take a look at this news."
Lin Yi quickly ran over and handed Qin Anming a leather letter.
Lin Yi can now be said to be a diplomat, and he travels between various alliances almost every day.
Lin Yi came over and began to say: "Boss Qin, our search team found a team of people, and through communication, we learned that the other party is from another alliance, this alliance is called the Star Alliance, we inquired, their alliance leader is a woman, and she is also very capable of management, and there are more than 150 lords in the alliance."
Lin Yi didn't say it quietly, and everyone heard it.
Lin Yi brought it up, naturally he wanted Qin Anming to make up his mind, after all, he was the boss.
Even though Chen Zhiran had a very bright brain, at this moment, he didn't dare to make any suggestions.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the appearance of this Star Alliance is not the right time, and it will meet another alliance so soon, which proves that the distance between the two alliances is not very far, and this may cause some contradictions in the future.
The people who have established the alliance generally want to do great things in this world, and the bosses of both sides will definitely not compromise, and the two alliances are too close, which creates problems.
Let's just put it this way, if there is a lord who has not joined the alliance, two large alliances that are evenly matched, which one do you choose?
There is also the fact that an alliance that suddenly appeared, and neither of them knew whether the other party was a good person or not, and how should the relationship be characterized.
In the future, when the alliance develops to a bottleneck, what should the two sides do?
Now that a new alliance has emerged, won't there be another alliance in this land?
If a conflict breaks out, it is likely that the sandpiper and the clam will fight each other, and the fisherman will benefit.
And even if you show kindness and don't fight or grab, can you ensure that the other party must be like this?
If it is hostile, now is the best opportunity, and once it is missed, and the people behind it have also developed, it is impossible to have such a slight numerical advantage.
Now it can be said that what Qin Anming said is the direction of the entire alliance, whether it is to fight, whether it is to peace, it all depends on him.
I saw Qin Anming say slowly: "First send someone over to inquire about the situation, if the other side does not want to move us, we will develop with peace of mind, draw a line and rule, if there is a desire to open up the territory, or invade us, we don't have to be polite, just go to the door."
Being able to give instructions like this is obviously well thought out, after the demon tide, some people have lost their minds and become crazy, Qin Anming doesn't know what kind of existence the other alliance is, so he will test it first, and it is better to have multiple allies than multiple enemies.
Chen Zhiran understands the pros and cons, and he also knows the changes in some people after the demon tide, and he doesn't think so.
Of course, this resolution still takes care of the other lords, if the two sides declare war now, the other party will not necessarily lose, even if their side wins, then how many surviving lords can be completely unknown, why should they be sent to death if they are alive.
There are also some people who just want to live in this world, and don't want anything to happen, just settle down for a lifetime.
And what Qin Anming said about sending people to understand the situation, isn't it to explore the strength of the other party, or to understand the terrain, and people's hearts will not be exposed?
Chen Zhiran thought that he had already understood his boss better, but he didn't expect that this boss was not as simple as he thought!
Chen Zhiran began to feel that now he couldn't understand this boss more and more, and only felt that his mind was hidden so deeply, like an abyss, that people couldn't figure it out.
With today's incident, Chen Zhiran secretly decided that he must not easily trust anyone in the future, and he must be cautious, otherwise he will have to say goodbye to this world.
Sure enough, he is too young and lacks vision, a big guy is a big guy, and what he does and what he says is enough to make people think deeply.
Chen Zhiran sorted out his mind and reminded himself not to think about it, it is better to grow this kind of food at the moment, and his subordinates rely on them, and there must be no mistakes.
Soon, with the help of the other 11 lords, the fertile fields were reclaimed, and the seeds that had just been produced today were planted, and the magical classes began to perform the ripening technique.
A large amount of food is harvested in this way, because it consumes too much of the magic of the class, and each time it is cast, it takes many days of rest.
What's more, the frequent overdraft of the land, such a method of exhausting the land and fishing, cannot be used frequently, otherwise it will not be long before these fertile fields will be permanently abandoned and turned into deserts.
Because of this, after the first harvest, the magic is not used immediately, and after the second round of sowing, it is allowed to grow freely.
And the harvested grain is enough for 60,000 people to eat for half a month, and the crops in the other world are really different.
And how many classes can eat food? Obviously, it is impossible, at most 40,000 troops are eating, not to mention some meat, there is no problem in holding on for more than half a month.
I don't know how much grain there is, but the grain directly filled the three warehouses.
Now Chen Zhiran really feels that he can't do without the alliance, if it weren't for the magic of those powerful races, Chen Zhiran would really have to take his subordinates to eat dirt.
————
Soon three days passed, and Chen Zhiran added more than 2,000 people, and this time he was lucky enough to recruit a hero unit.
"Hero Unit": Du Cang
"Level": 10
"Identity": Heavy Armored Knight
"Status": Energetic, no abnormality
"Equipment": Knight's heavy sword
"Skill": None
"Title": None
"Special": None
Chen Zhiran was a little puzzled, why was he so lucky, no one else had many heroes, and he was out so quickly? But after thinking about it for a while, I didn't know why, so I blamed it on luck.
When I came back to my senses, I saw a big man with black hair, arms as thick as legs, 1.9 meters tall, yellowed skin, and a width of 50 centimeters, holding a huge heavy sword, slowly kneeling down on one knee in front of Chen Zhiran.
The giant sword was 1 meter long and 20 centimeters wide.
A word suddenly appeared in my head, tank, this is completely a living human tank.
Chen Zhiran was a little surprised and said, "Get up, Du Cang."
Du Cang said: "Thank you, Lord Lord."
Du Cang stood up, good guy, directly two heads taller than Chen Zhiran, Chen Zhiran was under Du Cang's eyelids, like a child, full of oppression, very strong at first glance.
"Well, let me introduce you, this is Ronton, this is Dakxi, you can get to know each other first, I just happened to take you to dinner."
Hearing the meal, Du Zheng's eyes straightened, and he became like a child in an instant, and hurriedly asked Chen Zhiran what to eat and how much he could eat.
After learning that he could eat meat and let him eat to his heart's content, Du Cang directly became Chen Zhiran's "licking dog", and he kept pleasing Chen Zhiran, and all kinds of praise words came out of his mouth.
……
Chen Zhiran's residence
The elf and a few subordinates brought the meat one by one.
But it's too late at all, Du Cang is like he hasn't eaten for decades, he can swallow a plate of meat in two bites.
There were already a dozen discs stacked on top of each other on the table.
Even his own head chef has now gone crazy in the kitchen to soar his cooking skills.
It was a race of speed, but the chef was a complete loser.
Directly put it on the rotten and serve the half-cooked beef.
But Du Cang didn't care at all, it was still two mouthfuls and one plate.
It wasn't until the plates were piled up that he patted his stomach in satisfaction.
The head chef also laughed and cried happily, and finally it was over, his hands were shaking, and tears flowed.
Du Cang's operation directly stunned everyone.
He said mercilessly: "Hey, how can you be like this, the lord is still here."
Chen Zhiran smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, it's okay, I can eat so much, I look like a powerful person."
Du Zheng said disapprerovingly: "Haha, look at it, the lord has said it's okay."
He said helplessly: "You...".
Du Cang: "Hey, the lord is still there."
He didn't expect that Du Cang would use his own words to block himself, and he was speechless for a while.
Daxie then played a round and said, "Haha, you two are really like children."
Chen Zhiran didn't expect that Du Cang was not only physically strong, but also had a mind.
Sure enough, when I was in Bluestar, I was solidified by a video on a certain sound.
Whoever said "simple-minded and well-developed limbs", Du Cang, who dares to say simple-minded.
In the midst of a joke, the meal ended happily.
Another few days passed, and information from several alliances also appeared in the hall.
"There are a total of 9 alliances in this great plain, let's take a look."
The 199 lords looked at the hides in their hands.
The 9 alliances are: Great Wall Alliance, Star Alliance......
If all 9 alliances are made up of 200 lords, there will be 1,800 lords, and that's just on this one plain.
After adding the troops of each lord, it is conceivable that there are about 1 million troops on this plain now, of course, this is just speculation.
For a while, there was silence in the hall, and when he came back to his senses, all his eyes looked at Qin Anming.
Qin Anming said: "We have formed a friendly relationship with the Star Alliance to deal with the next situation."
Then he said: "Don't worry, this plain is still relatively stable, we just need to develop ourselves."
"Okay, don't think too much, these few people stay, and the others leave first."
"Wu Jun, Lin Yi, Zhang Liu, Zhou Jishen......, Mo Yun, Chen Zhiran".
Fourteen people were left behind, and the others left with interest, knowing that what was going to happen was not something they could hear.
Chen Zhiran didn't expect to have himself, and he was curious for a while, what was going on.
After seeing that the others were finished, Qin Anming said: "Everyone knows that our current situation is very bad, first of all, salt, according to the information Mo Yun detected, it may only be in the places controlled by the Star Alliance that are closer to us.
It's just a possibility, we've been choked by the neck, but I've got people in contact, maybe they'll give us some, of course, with the rest of the alliance."
"Second, it is the current situation in the plains, nothing will happen to the 9 alliances in the short term, but we can't take it lightly, from now on, Mo Yun will lead the search team, and then ......, finally, Chen Zhiran, you have the most troops, hurry up and speed up the task of fishing, building city walls, and collecting grain and grass, your task is relatively heavy, you have to complete it, you know."
"Yes," everyone agreed.
Qin Anming: "We must respond to all changes with the same, at least in the next situation, we must stand firm."
"Okay, that's all for today, let's disperse."
————
Thousands of miles away
"Hahaha, let me find you, don't worry, I'll show you how your alliance fell apart, hahaha".
The dragon soared into the sky and flew into the distance, leaving only a broken wall of eaves covered in blood but without any corpses.
You can see what a brutal massacre took place here an hour ago.
