Chapter 389: Deduction
Chen Mu was not optimistic about the prospects of the war on the side of the "Eagle Country", even in terms of overall strength, there were many human forces gathered there, and it was likely to surpass the demon clan's fighting faction.
This is also a very real problem, the demon clan is still in power now, and it is still the older generation of conservatives, and the internal situation is also not monolithic.
But what is better than the human side is that although the conservatives of the demon clan are unlikely to send troops south, it is also unlikely that they will deliberately make the militant faction bad in the back, but it is likely to provide a large number of war resources for the militant faction in a stable manner.
This is the benefit of the overall weakness of the demon race, no matter how infighting they are, they also know that in the face of the human race, the demon race is at an absolute disadvantage, after all, how many years have been banished, and the living environment in the bitter cold land is so bad, it is good to survive, not to mention reproduction and growth.
Therefore, even if the conservatives of the demon clan are not very in favor of launching a full-scale war in the south, out of consideration for the overall interests of the demon clan, it is impossible to stumble on the militant faction behind their backs, but will support a large amount of war materials as much as possible.
At least the fighting faction is not extremist, if it really gains a foothold in the "Eagle Country", then the resources and environment on the grassland are much better than those in the bitter cold land, and it is definitely super good for the demon clan.
On the contrary, even if the attack of the militant faction is frustrated or even fails, then for the conservatives, it is the loss of some supplies, which is not at all a wound, and can also take the opportunity to weaken the strength of the militant faction.
You must know that in recent years, the militant faction has gradually made a comeback and regained the power of the demon clan, which makes the conservatives very anxious, in order not to damage the overall strength of the demon clan, they can only try to restrain themselves, and they can't really let the militant faction return to power.
So this situation really makes them anxious, and it is very difficult to maintain the situation, and now that the Great Wall of Desperation has unexpectedly broken a big hole, and the energy of the fighting faction has a place to vent, then let them go south to toss the human race.
Anyway, no matter how you calculate it, the conservatives will not lose, and no matter how bad it is, the war will really be completely defeated, and the big deal will be for the militant faction to shrink back to the "Hell Grand Canyon" and defend the walls and wilderness.
In terms of the overall quality of human warriors, it is unlikely that they will attack the bitter cold land of the extreme north in an all-out way, which is really thankless.
Even if a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources are spent to drive the demon clan further north, what is the value?
There are not many resources here, and the environment is so harsh, it is impossible for human beings to give up the fertile gold on the grassland and migrate here on a large scale to live.
In this analysis, the situation of the demon clan is not bad, it can be attacked and retreated, and the worst situation is just to retreat to the north of the "Frozen Wasteland", and it is a big deal to start all over again.
In contrast, regarding the potential threat of war on the side of the "East China Sea", Chen Mu is more optimistic about human beings.
It's not that one is favoritous, but there are many objective reasons, even if the overall strength of the legendary Fishman Empire is probably enough to throw out the demon clan for many streets.
But first of all, no matter how bad the fish-man race is, it is always an intelligent race of the sea, not a human derivative such as the demon race and the ghost race.
In other words, the foundation of the Fish-Man Clan is in the sea, even if you take 10,000 steps back, the Fish-Man Empire is indeed cheating and blowing up the sky, and its strength in a full-scale war is enough to live in the air, but so what, they always live in the sea, and it is basically impossible to migrate to live on land.
So if we really get to that point, even if we can't defeat it, the big deal is to give up all the coastal areas, and there will still be a large land area to live in.
In fact, many areas in the wasteland are far from being exploited by human beings to the limit, let alone the limit, even the "Middle Earth", which is now the center of human civilization, has only been developed in a small part.
If the Gyeonggi region is really developed, it is estimated that it will be more than enough to accommodate the refugees from the coastal areas, even if all the existing human beings from all over the world are relocated.
It's just that it is very difficult to develop, and there are many dangers in the wasteland, and many places cannot be developed, but they need to use a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to pile up.
Second, the princes of all parties want to have the final say, and no one wants to be subservient to others, so of course they like to develop their own territory and stay away from other strong enemies as much as possible.
Therefore, many places that could have been developed have been given up by human beings on their own initiative, either to find the other party with lower development difficulty, or simply to pursue distance, as far away as possible from those old powerful forces.
Based on this situation, if the Fish-Man Empire is really determined to launch a full-scale war, and humans can't win the war, then of course they can only abandon the coastal area, and then they can still live a nourishing life in the inland area.
The really unlucky ones are naturally the mermaids, who, like the fish-people, are also an intelligent race of the sea, and their roots are also in the sea.
And the "Golden Sea" is the first front line of the war, and if it really wants to start an all-out war with the Fishman Empire, the Mermaid Clan is indeed more than lucky, and there is no other good way except to defend it.
Even if they abandon the "Golden Sea" and retreat to the "East China Sea", regardless of human emotions, the environment of the "East China Sea" is not very suitable for the long-term survival of the merfolk people, and they still prefer the deep sea to the relatively shallow offshore areas.
But on the other hand, this is precisely one of the important reasons why Chen Mu is more optimistic about the prospects of the war in the east, no matter what, once the Fishman Empire launches a strong attack, the Merfolk Clan should be united to defend the city, or the kind that fights to the last man.
This kind of fanatical will to fight to the death is very terrifying, so on the merfolk side, it is enough for the merfolk to drink a pot, not to mention that the merfolk have been operating in the "Golden Sea" for so many years, and all kinds of war resources have long been hoarded, and they should be able to fight well.
Another important reason is the human military strength of the "East China Sea", in short, the "Freedom Front".
Even if their organizational structure is indeed a loose mess, and there are many parallel members in it, but even so, Chen Mu does not dare to underestimate the strength of this old brand.
In a lot of information, there are references to these anarchist madmen, especially the extremist members among them, the combat power of the "Bloody Dawn", which can be called the absolute level of terror.
These people are extreme liberal fighters, but they have absolute military discipline that is completely the other extreme.
In the few recorded combat operations in Scarlet Dawn, these guys have all shown a monster-like will to fight and fanatical spirit, and they have no idea what they are afraid of.
