wandering fairy

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, like black mountains floating in rows, covering the entire swamp.It's the rainy season and it's not surprising to have these heavy rains.

But the cool breeze blowing over has an ominous meaning - it's too cold!The Blackthorn Snakeman, who was used to the high temperature, was a little stiff. He turned around and told his subordinates: "Let the warriors of the gods get ready, this heavy rain will flood the swamp and force those humans to retreat to higher places. The heavy rain stops. Then we raid their stronghold on the Eastern Highlands!"

"But~~~" The snake man next to him looked distressed: "Recently, their bows and crossbows have become more and more powerful, and they have cut down the big trees around the highlands. The field of vision is very wide. We will be spotted as soon as we get close. They almost shot a crossbow with each hand, and they shot non-stop, we~~~~"

"You should be more pious!" The black thorn snake man sullenly said, "It is precisely because you are not pious, pious, and unsteady that you will not receive the gift of the gods and will lose the battle!" His eyes and throat suddenly There was a strange dark purple fire that even splashed out of the body, startling the snake people next to him: "A real god warrior only has the greatest Xingyang in his heart! Even if he dies, his spirit will be approved by God! Everything is under the control of God, and the current difficulty is God’s testing and selecting you, and only by dedicating everything to God unconditionally, can you obtain the eternal blessing bestowed by God!” At this moment, his thoughts and orders changed. Having become God's choice, who would dare to oppose God's choice?The snake people had no choice but to act according to what he said: "Start before the heavy rain, and take advantage of the heavy rain to attack their fortress. The heavy rain will block their sight and bow and crossbow, and God will help us defeat them in the rain!"

His angry words completely contradicted what he said just now, "we will raid them after the heavy rain stops", but his words are "chosen by God", who would dare to defy them?Recently, several tribal leaders who secretly slandered him were defeated by his magic, and then ~~~~ were chopped into pieces by him.Swallow it in your stomach as a delicacy.

certainly.This is also a 'God's command'.

Under the black and torrential clouds, the snake people endured the colder and colder wind, walked through the swamp mud, and prayed for miracles from the gods while walking.Let them hit the ground running in the rain.Praying, praying.The miracle really came!And fell from the sky ahead of time.Snake people who have never seen snowflakes did not understand what the flakes of white 'feathers' falling from the sky were at first.By the time the temperature began to drop sharply, the situation had taken a turn for the worse!Their bodies were stiff and their minds were dizzy, and many snake people even collapsed on the side of the road.Although their body structure is slightly different from that of real snakes.It won't really freeze into a popsicle, but the strength drops rapidly, and the reaction force quickly slows down. How can we fight?It's about the same when the target is moving slowly.

"How did this happen?" When all the snake people questioned the black thorn snake one after another in doubt, the self-proclaimed 'prophet' found the 'answer' very cleverly: "There must be someone who worships other gods behind my back!!" He looked up to the sky angrily Roaring, it seems that this is really the case: "You have violated the will of God, this is God's punishment for you!"

And Dong Hezi, who was in charge of punishing them, was galloping above the billowing dark clouds on a dreadful scorpion full of aura, and sprinkled a lot of cold magic power on the dark clouds, turning the heavy rain into light snow.Although the snow is not big, what we need is a drop in temperature!Thin ice has already appeared on the branches of some hills, and many animals in the swamp are wading in panic, trying to escape this terrible low temperature area.The birds were flying and chirping, a scene of panic!

But it's not that magical to want it to snow for hundreds of miles.Only in a few key areas to make snow to cool down.Dong Hezi, who was riding on the back of Dixie, occasionally went through the clouds to see how the ground was cooling and freezing, and he saw a long line of black thorn snakes.

Hahahaha~~~~ Dong Hezi laughed a few times, it’s better to come early than coincidentally!I used to search for you all over the swamp and couldn't find you, but today I took the initiative to come out of the mountain.Immediately sent a message to Midland: "I found the opponent's main team, immediately gather our main personnel, and fight them hard! It is best to bring all the Beamon tree guards and defeat them!"

Although the matter started hastily, the Midland army with a large number of communication spells reacted quickly, and fought a beautiful encirclement battle: first, hundreds of mercenaries and battle mages flew over with a large amount of long-range spell equipment and intercepted them. Snake people go their way.When the two armies confronted each other until dusk, the following army and Pastor Mei Kaili released two or three storeys of Beamon tree guards, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and immediately smashed the snake man army to pieces.When the snake people fled and dispersed, more than 4 bodies were left at the scene.

The following battles were much easier to fight - Dong Hezi covered an area with wind and snow, and the army took advantage of the ice and snow to launch a general attack on the snake camp and barriers, pulled out nails one by one, and then pushed down the next area.It's a bit like 'covered by artillery fire and followed by infantry'.Although making heavy snow consumed a lot of raw materials and cost money, the snake people here were finally driven out.

It's a pity that the leader of the black thorn snake has never been found. Later, I learned from several captives that in the last few days, that guy killed a group of people who wavered on the grounds of "worshiping false gods and offending the true gods to cause natural disasters." Then he used the reason that a layer of ice had formed on the river by the river, saying "the true God froze the river, let us cross the river", and encouraged all the remaining snake people to flee back to the depths of the snake country. .

"This magic stick is really qualified." Dong Hezi and Midland's army, who had worked hard for several days, stopped chasing and stopped on the edge of a big river, preparing to use it as a boundary.Although there were several mercenary teams and even some people from Mei Kaili Church encouraged the army to continue to penetrate, taking advantage of the civil strife among the snake people to occupy more territory.But Dong Hezi's attitude is firm: "This operation is to clear the border first, and open the road to the Great Lakes. These two goals have been achieved. As long as we defend along the river and deploy several defense systems in depth based on the terrain, it will be enough." Resist the increasingly chaotic snake country bandits. Now we have 2 rivers leading to the big lake, and some swamps and wetlands that can be developed by the Green Pine Company. And there are originally high-quality wood such as teak, which is used to make 'wood copper' important material, we will grow it while developing it, and it will definitely be a source of wealth in the future!"

Probably because the battle was fought so smoothly, even Midland had the spirit of 'enterprising': "Let's fight further. There are hills and cultivated land on the other side of the river, and you can immigrate here. Anyway, the Snake Country is also in chaos. Now, we can still collect money to sell the materials of the ice and snow magic circle, and occupy the best place in one go!"

But Dong Hezi shook his head with a rattle drum: "Don't do such a stupid thing! In the past, agricultural society mainly produced agricultural products. The ruler's resources were mostly collected from the territory. So the bigger the territory, the better. But now it is handicrafts and A society with developed trade. Many resources are obtained through industrial and trade exchanges. Those small countries with developed industries and trade can even mobilize food and equipment that are only available in big countries! Keep your eyes open and don’t mutter every day that I want to occupy How many territories, how many territories have I lost? With such a low-level vision, how can I get to a high level? How many territories does the Austrian Law Federation have? Which king has fought against them?"

“所以。我们要保住：1、主要原材料产地。2、便于工业生产的地区。3、主要贸易干线。关键不是领地大小多少，而是是否控制了以上三点。有了三点就有了资源控制权，然后再加上以下两点：4、便于攻防的区域。5、便于同化的区域。这样就增加了安全性。”…

"The territory now occupied meets the above points. The hilly area across the river is mainly a food production area, but we are not short of food, but tropical wood and special plants, so the opposite land does not belong to our 'main raw material production area' .Once occupied, and there are no big rivers, mountains, or dense forests around as barriers, we will face the siege of the three-faced snake people, which is quite unfavorable to us. Once external forces step in and support the snake people to punish us, we will It takes a lot of energy. It’s not cost-effective. Some forces have long disliked the Duke, and if they take too many steps and have too many loopholes, they will give the enemy a chance.”

The other generals and even some of the Liujia Divine Guards of Mei Kaili Church felt a little regretful: "Really don't want to occupy it?" Because the fight went so smoothly.Dong Hezi said firmly: "I have already stepped out of my childish territorial paranoia!! The Tang Kingdom was greedy for the distant Western Regions, and Anlu Mountain cut it off. England coveted the distant and tortuous Shendu Kingdom, but failed to achieve the thousand-year Atlantic Empire , In the end, I just set up a Five-Eyes Alliance play house. If I knew this, I would go all out to develop the land of the Five-Eyes Alliance from the beginning, but I could grow into a long-lasting hegemon in the world. The thousand-year empire is not a fantasy. There are still some people who are first fooled by the naive territorial view I have a heart, and I have to say something like 'not an inch of land can be lost'. I have to keep the territory of the previous dynasty. I cross thousands of mountains and rivers to rule the land of foreign races and religions, but I don’t take the assimilation policy seriously, and give money to kneel and lick every year. The local people, in the end, became the root of disaster! If we knew this, we should use the [-]-mile desert as a boundary and guard the gate. Implement the policy of "tightening the inside and loosening the outside" to eliminate the alien races and religions inside the gate, and fully assimilate. The cars are on the same track, the books are the same, the customs are the same, and the clothes are the same. The outside world is friendly on the outside, and the interests are constantly exchanged. !"

"So, I'd rather not have a territory that I can't digest; I'd rather not have it if the benefits are less than the risks; I'd rather not have it if I can't hold it; I'd rather not have it if I can't assimilate it! Only an iron-built camp can last for a thousand years. It's not impossible to expand, It’s about expanding and stabilizing, don’t be impatient!”

"It's inconvenient for humans like us to live in this swampy and stuffy place. It's good enough to penetrate for a hundred or two miles. If you cross the river and go far away, you can't reach it! Although you can occupy it with a military victory for a while, but in the long run, human beings will not There may be large-scale immigration here. At that time, there will be the so-called "snake people inside". Do you accept it or not? If you don't accept it, they will cause chaos everywhere. Human manpower is limited and they cannot be punished. If you accept it, it will become a shitty suzerain, The self-government system allows a series of natives to hide under the wings of the democratic people to steal people's fat and various benefits, and then promote the natives as generals to "protect the fortress" and become "generals of the dragon and tiger", and then clamor for the "seven major hatreds" when they grow stronger ' against you."

This kind of nonsense of raising Wuhu Zhuman and Persian Anlu first, and then raising Jianzhou and paganism, makes people vomit over and over again! ! !If there is a clear distinction between the inside and the outside, the pluralism will be eliminated, and the culture will be unified, those who assimilate will be inside, and those who will not be assimilated will be outside.How can there be disasters later if you punish those who are disobedient and punish the strong?If you accept them as suzerain vassals, you will be restricted by internal morality and cannot let go of it.Isn't this short-sighted self-restraint?

Therefore, don't take too much territory that you can't digest. Once you occupy it, you must assimilate it with a dead hand, otherwise it will be a disaster for thousands of years!Be greedy when you shouldn't be greedy, benevolent when you shouldn't be benevolent, be honest or not, be ruthless or not, and have a humble mentality.How can it become a master? ! !

People are enslaved by greed.There was still regret on his face, but Dong Hezi's attitude was extremely firm: "I won't accompany you! You can invite others to make snow!" Midland was afraid that he would freeze, so he apologized and said with a smile: "It's all up to you." So Dong Hezi answered: "Then we should plant thorny hard shrubs and meandering banyan trees along the boundary river, with a width of at least twenty miles. As a defensive barrier."  …

Then he and a group of Liujia Shenwei and Midland.Riding various cloud seal beasts and flying away.I went looking for a place to build the city.As for Lord Snake King, he was sitting on the carriage triumphantly, and said to Ponuk next to him: "I have already talked with them. I will get foreign mercenaries in a few days, and by then, I will restore the capital and suppress the rebels! Hiss Hiss, hiss, hiss~~~~It is simpler and more efficient than your rotten method! Hiss, hiss, hiss~~~~"

Ponuk, who had been in a state of rest with his eyes closed, suddenly replied: "Your negotiating skills are really good. You can talk with those wealthy foreign businessmen for a whole day. I really admire them. But they seem to be even better. In their room, we went to have a secret talk with them."

"What?!" The Snake King was surprised and suspicious: "Stop bluffing me! The room is heavily guarded and covered with anti-prophecy spells. How can you, a warrior, know what's going on inside?" Ponuk replied with his eyes still closed. : "I don't use prophecy spells here, but I can exchange some information with the surrounding elements. The information whispered by the elements tells me that someone has entered the room you stayed in just now. It seems that there are two fat ones and one thin one."

The Snake King didn't believe it: "Which room was I just now? What's it like inside?" Ponuk finally narrowed his eyes: "The room on the left has some pears and oranges in it, as well as bloody mutton and some internal organs for you to eat." "In fact, 'Elemental Whisper' can only detect superficial situations indirectly, and cannot see and hear clearly like 'Scry', so I don't know what they talked about.

But this information is enough to prove: Ponuk has the ability to overcome interference and detect the interior of the building.The Snake King suddenly pondered: "You mean——they will betray me?" Ponuk replied: "Wait for those people to come out and catch them, just ask them!"

The Snake King looked forward and backward: "They are all people with powerful backgrounds, I'm going to offend~~~~" Now Ponuk next to him is qualified to despise him: "Aren't you the king? Are you still afraid? At worst, I will help If you rob once, I'm not afraid anyway. You owe me a favor."

The Snake King was a little annoyed: "I'm not responsible for you being beaten to death by them." Ponuk snorted and didn't speak.He just ordered the person pulling the cart to turn around along the street and stop in a nearby alley.

After nearly an hour, three businessmen walked out of the luxurious mansion where the rich businessman lived, two fat and one thin, just like what Ponuk said.And although they look ordinary, they don't even have magical aura.However, the accessories that it is equipped with are all carefully crafted, and most likely they are magical equipment, using occulting spells to cover up the aura of magic.

But they didn't expect that someone would dare to attack here - when a sharp arrow-like figure flew down from the roof, the nearby guards had no time to react, and saw one of the businessmen being shot down by a sticky cloud-like Wrapped by something, it fell directly to the ground as if entangled by spider silk, unable to move.The second businessman was kicked out by the black shadow that fell on the ground and flipped several times in the air. When he fell to the ground, the third businessman had already been picked up by the black shadow, jumped onto the roof and ran away!

The black shadow came and went so fast, and when the guards flew up to the roof, they didn't even see a ghost, and took people away easily.However, Ponuk did not do it easily.First, he shrunk down and jumped down, released the powerful 'Snake Spider Tianluo', switched his 'Zhu Jiang Shenbian' from the agility bonus to the strength bonus, and then switched back to the agility bonus after taking the hostages and jumping onto the building.There is also the aid of nerve acceleration, the release of several "five yin demons" smoke bombs to cover, and the "crushing palm and body-holding technique" that the opponent spontaneously counterattacked in the middle, and then the hostage was subdued with a shocking punch.If someone else came to rob, that would be death without a burial.

The hostage businessman who was pinned to the ground by his chokehold felt cramped all over his body, and his internal organs were on fire!When he was held in mid-air just now, he was repeatedly hit by Ponuk on several pivot points on his body, and his muscles, endocrine, and nerves were all out of balance.Although he can chant spells, he can no longer focus on casting spells silently.And the opponent's two sharp fingers are already approaching the eyeballs, and if you recite half a mantra for a while, you will die through your brain!He could only pant and say, "Your Excellency possesses legendary martial arts skills, so you must be very human. You and I both have foundations, so why bother to die? Everything in the world is driven by interests, and everyone can agree on interests."

The man in front of him had a ferocious face, resembling a mixed-race half-orc. It was Ponuk's changed appearance, and even the words he said looked like a rough half-orc: "If you want to support that false king, don't expect a good end. Tell me! How many mercenaries did you get for him~~~~" Before finishing speaking, the other party hurriedly said: "No, no, no! We are just using him. When he leads the army into the capital, he will die time!"
