Volume 2 1 Part 2 - War and Gladiators
Soon, the enemies began to flee inexplicably!
"Indeed...... The enemy is too close to the mysterious liquid mining shaft!", the queue commander said, somewhat gratifying.
Of course, it wasn't just the enemy who began to retreat: "If they really attacked, we would all be hit by that weapon......!
......
The mysterious liquid referred to by the Queue Commander was a liquid with a metallic sheen - this unknown mysterious liquid itself had little use for the people of the native civilization here - it was a nearly non-flammable liquid that could not be used as fuel.
Others, however, need such an unknown mysterious liquid - that is, the "cold adjudicators"!
The "Ruthless Adjudicators" are people from their native civilization who have never seen a mysterious empire - people from that mysterious and unknown empire are given this feared title!
Those "ruthless adjudicators" are able to process these mysterious and unknown liquids into highly effective liquid fuels and solid fuels through processes that are also unknown to the native civilization and cannot be obtained.
In addition, the by-products of the reaction of various raw materials can be used to strengthen metals, or any other use that requires technical support - of course, these by-products are completely forbidden to be owned by people in the native civilization kingdom!
Those "ruthless adjudicators" are the ruthless colonizers here - in the eyes of those "cold adjudicators", in peacetime, the people of the native civilization here are slaves who mine unknown mysterious liquids for them, and when the kingdoms of the civilization are at war, the people of these native civilizations are gladiators.
In any case, the humans of the kingdoms here have never been regarded as real human beings by the "cold judges".
Those ruthless colonizers handed over the processed liquid fuel or the defective products of the solid fuel to the kingdoms of the native civilization in exchange for the labor and resources of the native civilization.
Such a defective product is a very useful energy source for a local civilization that is not so technologically developed.
The "ruthless adjudicators" engage in a completely unbalanced trade with the native civilization - they "sell" the scraps they dislike in exchange for a large amount of the native civilization's labor, and at the same time, in exchange for the resources that should belong to the native civilization.
For civilizations that are victorious in battle, they can exchange the same labor and resources for more "scraps".
And for the civilization that loses in battle, they use the same labor and resources in exchange for much less "scraps" - usually, only one-fifth of the victorious!
As for why those native civilizations will hand over resources to the "ruthless adjudicators", the reason is also very simple - the other party's weapon technology level is completely different from that of the native civilization, and the other party can destroy the kingdom that is unwilling to "trade"!
The battle itself also gave those "ruthless adjudicators" another way.
In order to win the battle, more weapons are needed - and for the native civilization, at this level of technology, the production capacity of weapons is naturally inferior to that of the "ruthless adjudicators".
Therefore, if you want to get more weapons, the most direct way is to use manpower, mysterious liquids, or gold and iron ore to exchange the "ruthless adjudicators" for weapons that "the local civilization has the right to use".
For the ruthless "ruthless adjudicators", they have effortlessly obtained resources such as manpower, mysterious liquids, gold, iron ore, and more through the threat of weapon technology.
At the same time, the war of the native civilization, for them, is like a fight between gladiators, just a kind of "competition" for them to watch!
......
"Their airship...... Flew away......" The queue commander's tone sounded slightly less nervous.
"The enemy seems to have retreated...... "The standard-bearer next to him said with trepidation.
"No one wants to be attacked by their terrible weapons!" said the Queue Commander.
The danger was temporarily eliminated - both the "ruthless adjudicators" and the enemies of Kingdom One, retreated.
However, as long as those "ruthless adjudicators" are still on this land, this land will be full of gunsmoke!
