If bad luck happens to a bunch of ugly goblins, who cares.

Because of this, the evaluations of the elves by the major forces are generally very positive. When the elves are mentioned, they can often be associated with peace-loving, simple folk customs, advocating nature, and being good at singing and dancing!

In fact, the elves were not like this at the beginning. When they were strong, they also had the reputation of being brave and good at fighting, and the children of the forest.

But then gradually declined, being abused and abused, the self-protection mechanism was triggered, and the folk customs became simple and good at singing and dancing.All in all, races that are generally good at singing and dancing basically have nothing to do with being good at fighting.

And when the major forces shed crocodile tears for the fall of the elves' kingdom, Kalenz, an alien from outside, was doing things for the elves sincerely.

He bought 20 elf slaves in one go!

Why can he buy so much?

Because the Perus Empire is a powerful military country, and it is a country with strong feudal remnants. From a very early time, the attitude towards the spoils of war has been divided between the emperor and the frontline soldiers.Up to now, it has basically become a customary "ancestral family law", and no one dares to break this practice so far.

So Kalenz just spent a lot of money to buy the slaves who belonged to the soldiers as spoils of war, and he hasn't moved the [-]% that belonged to the emperor.

Such a large handwriting has really shocked many people. Presumably the emperor of the Perus Empire has heard of it, and he doesn't know what it will feel like.

But even if he objected, he did not dare to express it for the time being. After all, this army is still in the hands of Kazan and Ozma for the time being; cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. If they block the way for soldiers to make money, his throne will be destroyed. I can't sit still.

As for why Kalenz bought so many elf prisoners of war, of course it is not really a luxury, but has another use.

……

Bai Zhiyue, a secret room.

In the fully enclosed space, the light is bright and clean, and thousands of beams of light emerge from the void, slowly rotating around a figure sitting cross-legged.In the process of rotation, the light beam gradually shrinks into a series of soft lines, which are gently and softly criss-crossed like swimming fish, forming a delicate golden light cocoon.

"..."

Yiwen opened his eyes, the depths of the pupils were filled with lightning, but the light cocoons on his body quickly faded, and melted into his body like running water.

"Master, how do you feel now, have you digested the apostle's power?" Seeing that he had come to life, Xiaoxi asked in a low voice.

"It's coming soon, what's the matter?" Ivan knew that the other party must have something to do, so he would disturb himself at this time.

"The Duke of Karenz has something to report to you."

"Just connect directly."

"Yes!"

Xiaoxi responded crisply, and a white beam of light hung down from the center of the ceiling, and countless lines of different colors bloomed in the center of the beam of light, quickly forming Kalenz's holographic projection.

"Meet Your Majesty!" As soon as he saw Ivan, Kalenz performed a vassal salute according to the rules of the empire.

"You and I don't need to see each other, just talk about things." Ivan sat cross-legged on the spot and waved his hands lightly.

"Then I'll just say it straight." Kalenz didn't shirk, just stepped on the steps and jumped up, and said with a smile: "It took less than three weeks for the Perus Empire to attack the kingdom of elves and achieved a great victory. Now the kingdom of elves has been completely destroyed, and all the elves in the country have been taken away as luxury goods."

"As expected." Ivan shook his head, not taking the elves' destruction of the country seriously.

"Taking advantage of this opportunity of the elves destroying the country, I bought 20 prisoners of war from the soldiers of the Perus Empire... I spent a lot of money." Kalenz observed his expression and said cautiously.

"How much did it cost?" Ivan caught the point instantly.

"A prisoner of war, one hundred grams of gold." He said with a little guilt.

"hiss!!!"

Ivan suddenly took a deep breath, his brows furrowed, and he squeezed out a deep gully: "Others spend money like running water, but you spend money like a flood... Why do you spend a lot of money to buy those useless elf prisoners of war?" ? What are your plans?"

"Return to Your Majesty! Everything is for the benefit of the Far East Alliance!"

Seeing that he was not angry, Kalenz immediately calmed down and said with a serious expression:

"The struggle between the Far Eastern Alliance and the Kashni Federation in the continent of Arad is bound to be a long-lasting struggle. If you want to win the hearts of the people in Arad, you must occupy a moral position. Now the people in the continent of Arad, The fall of the kingdom of elves is generally sympathetic, if we can show a kind attitude at this time, we can take more friendly points."

"Buying these 20 prisoners of war is out of goodwill?" Ivan frowned even deeper.

"Not yet! But when the more than 50 elf prisoners of the Perus Empire are captured and bought by the federal people as tools... Your Majesty's deeds of treating the elves with kindness will definitely become a kind deed in the hearts of the people of Arad. Those elves The worse the situation is, the bigger the image of the Far East Alliance will be, and of course the money spent to save them will be more worthwhile!"

"How can you guarantee that the federal people won't learn from us? At that time, I'm afraid it will be compared to offering to the ancestors..." Even after hearing what Kalenz said, Ivan's brows were still frowned, but there was still no sign of it unfolding.

"Your Majesty, I was originally from the Federation, and no one knows the style of the Federation better than me!"

Kalenz saw that he was worried about this, and the expression on his face relaxed a little: "The Federation is a regime kidnapped by capital. What the government says doesn't count, but what the capital oligarchs say counts! The former Herder may be able to influence them , It's a pity that the woman hasn't appeared for a long time now. If she doesn't show up, no one will be able to suppress those oligarchs. 50 elf prisoners, such a huge profit chain, are enough to make those capital oligarchs earn a lot of money... They will never give up this piece of fat!"

"Let's take this as a reason." Ivan felt that what he said was reasonable, but it was too subjective, so he nodded reluctantly.

After realizing that his answer sheet was not enough, Kalenz quickly added: "Your Majesty, don't believe me, the lag of the federal policy is unimaginable! They are still unwilling to give up the human colony, how can they treat a group of elves who have nothing to do with humans kindly?" What about it? Besides... I bought this batch of elf prisoners of war with a lot of money for two other purposes!"

"Say!" Hearing that he had a lot of thoughts, Ivan's brows finally relaxed a little.

"One, it's for cultural invasion!"

Seeing his expression slightly relieved, Kalenz was overjoyed, and explained his long-planned thoughts:

"Nowadays, both forces are wooing the people of Arad, so it is basically impossible to invade by force. Therefore, we must start from the cultural level and control the thoughts of the people of Arad! Think about it, Your Majesty, if you want to engage in cultural invasion, the elves are not the most Are they good helpers!? They are rich in handsome men and beautiful women, with excellent artistic talent, and they are also the native people of Arad, if they can be trained as the vanguard of cultural invasion, great results will be achieved."

"Cultural invasion?"

Ivan nodded again and again, his eyes became brighter, and he quickly motioned him to continue: "Tell me, what good idea do you have? How can we invade Arad culturally?"

"Return to Your Majesty! When it comes to cultural invasion, many people think that it is entertainment products such as movies, games, comics, animations, and novels. In fact, these can only be regarded as derivatives. The real cultural invasion can affect people's ideas, and Universal values ​​with strong persuasiveness. Like socialist ideas, liberal ideas, and ... certain religious ideas."

Kalenz noticed his state of mind at this time, and said very seriously:

"If the universal thought is the backbone, then entertainment products are just side effects. Only when the two complement each other can they exert their greatest power. If there are only side things, at best, they can incite a few middle school teenagers, and the destructive power is very limited. If there is only the main body, it will appear ungrounded, which will prevent ideas from penetrating to the people at the bottom.

However, if some kind of universal ideology is used as the backbone, and then cultural and entertainment products such as movies, games, animations, comics, and novels are added for external export, it will be able to form a comprehensive coverage from the elite to the bottom. This is the real culture. Invasion! "

Hearing this, how could Ivan fail to understand, and looked at him solemnly: "You mean to export socialist ideas to the Arad continent?"

"Your Majesty is wise! The truly effective cultural weapon of Menis is the socialist trend of thought!" Kalenz nodded heavily.

"But the ideological trend of the Far East Alliance has just started... I will take it out to promote it at this time..." Yiwen seemed a little hesitant.

"It happens to happen at the same time! The vigorous development of any kind of thought requires constant trial and error, repair, and perfection before it has a chance to mature. If we wait until the socialist thought develops to maturity and then export it to the outside world, we can only helplessly miss it. Here's the chance!"

Considering the urgency of time, even if Ivan felt a little impatient, he could only agree:

"Just do it! I will order someone to cooperate with you."

If you want to invade culture, you can only start from the perspective of universal thought. After all, the Far Eastern Alliance came from a bitter background and just got rich not long ago.

, singing and dancing, movies, games and other industries have been completely crushed by the Federation.
