Yun Shen walked into the meeting room.

"Hello everyone."

"The center of our topic today is what is happening in the northern part of the Orc Empire, the war launched by the Lacerda Orc Royal Court against other tribes."

The venue was silent.

A dark-haired clerk handed out information to everyone's desks.Everyone here has more or less obtained some relevant information before the meeting, but only after reading the information compiled by the intelligence department can they have a relatively complete understanding of this war.Due to geographical barriers and other obstacles, these news have a certain lag, but almost everyone present has a certain degree of military knowledge, and they can use these figures and graphics to make judgments on the situation of the war.

After reading the materials, people began to communicate in low voices in the venue.

The conflict that led to this war happened a month ago. The orc nobles of Lacerda launched a sudden attack on a bear tribe in the name of "disrespecting the king". A ransom request from the Union, and the public execution of the Bear tribe's tribal leader.This move aroused great indignation from the northern tribal alliance, and the perfunctory communication did not bring any positive results, so the still angry tribal alliance sent a cavalry to attack a mine in Lacerda, killing the mine guards and destroyed the mine workshop.

The Beastmaster was furious, and the war began.

Although the war between the royal court of the orcs and the tribal alliance lasted less than half a month, based on the paper information that everyone saw, the tribal alliance had little advantage in this war.The cause of the conflict was obviously deliberate, and the rapid defeat of the Bearman Tribe showed that the Orc Royal Court was well prepared. Therefore, the tribal alliance retreated steadily as the war broke out.After losing nearly [-] orc warriors from three tribes, the heartbroken tribal alliance decided to seek help from the Industrial Alliance.

The bloody hide letter was sent to Scar, and then there was this meeting.

The delegates at the meeting had already seen the printed copy of this letter. The Northern Tribal Alliance stated that the war happened extremely suddenly, and the Beast King’s treachery caught them off guard. There is one and only one, which is to fight against the needs of industrial alliances.However, it is precisely because of the lessons learned from the Industrial Alliance that no matter the Uda Beastmaster or the orc nobles of Lacerda, they will not tolerate the development and growth of another tribal alliance for a long time, let alone they are still riding on the wall and swinging from side to side. ——A large part of the goods in Kanlar City have already flowed to the north through trade.In fact, due to the gradual and steady growth of trade between the industrial alliance and the northern tribes, in the eyes of many people, especially those in the northern region, the industrial alliance induced—or manipulated—the emergence of the northern tribal alliance.

The conflict between the orc aristocrats and the northern tribes is irreconcilable, but at least in the eyes of the werewolves, they should not be so quick to tear their skins apart, so the current situation is indeed somewhat unexpected.Perhaps the regular life of the industrial alliance blunted the madness in their blood, making them forget how crazy they and their opponents could be, but this is not an important issue.

Once you understand the basics, it becomes clear what needs to be discussed in the meeting.

What kind of result will this war within the orc empire lead to?To what extent will this result affect the industry alliance?Is the Confederation of Industry going to intervene in this war?

During this period of rapid development of the industrial alliance, the orcs in the north are also developing.I still remember the city of Az that was built opposite the city of Kanlar back then. Although it soon fell into the trap of the werewolf Perth and the others because of its excessive impetuosity, before that, the vulpes in Az had passed through various methods. A lot of production technology has been obtained through this method. In addition, they have also obtained a considerable amount of grain seeds.This is considered by the intelligence agencies to be one of the confidences for the nobles to launch wars.

Regardless of how these seeds fall to the opposite side, even assuming that the number of these seeds is large and they are planted correctly in the right season, it is difficult for them to form sufficient food reserves in a short period of time, Lacerda The orc nobles launched this war is still hasty, so the resistance of the orc tribes in the north is also fierce.The orc nobles have a great advantage in military strength, and currently occupy the initiative in the war, while the northern tribes have certain advantages in population and geographical location. Although they cannot completely resist the aggression of the orc nobles, the orc nobles cannot quickly to achieve complete rule over the northern regions through violent means.What's more, there is no real unity within the Beastman Royal Court. The unity of the Beastman nobles is based on the powerful strength and cruel rule of the Beast King.

The Industrial Alliance has always maintained moderate attention to the Northern Empire, but—before the northern tribes sent people to the Industrial City for help, the Alliance's work on the orcs had always focused on the construction of Kanlar City.Now the northern tribes implore the alliance to intervene in the war, hoping that they can send an army to attack Lacerda, defeat or even eliminate the tiger beast king in Lacerda, and let Scar Nightmare "return to orthodoxy", although the content is ridiculous It seems to treat people as fools, but it does put a problem in front of the alliance—or the werewolves of the alliance.

Is this the time for a coalition to intervene in the North?

There were many werewolves in the venue, but humans and elves also occupied a considerable number of seats. At least in form, this meeting was no different from previous representative meetings.Even after reading the help letter from the northern tribes, not many people stared at the face of Scar, the leader of the wolf tribe and the representative of the orcs. He has no interest in the so-called throne. What about fully acquiring the Orc Empire?

The representatives discussed these two issues, and it is not surprising that opinions divided into multiple factions.Some orcs think that the time has not come, and the northern tribes are not sincere enough to ask for help. They are far from reaching the end of the mountain. The premature intervention of the industrial alliance will allow them to retain too much strength, which is not conducive to complete subjugation and transformation; another part of the orcs thinks that the industrial The current strength of the alliance no longer needs to wait for an opportunity. The fact that the alliance between the nobles of the king's capital and the northern tribes has broken the covenant, and the fact that the infighting is endless has given the alliance a sufficient moral reason to send troops. They should rescue those orcs who have been deceived and enslaved. After spreading to the Kanlar tribe, the northern issue was resolved through a big battle, making the name of the Orc Empire a thing of the past, and the Industrial Alliance completely became the overlord of the western continent in terms of strength and name...

"All the same," Scar said, "all the same can't wait."

The attitude of humans is much more cautious, even cold.While preparing for a war while providing support to Orbis King's Capital and New Mahy City, do those who support the war think that materials and personnel can be created out of nothing?Maybe they still have a little more material, maybe they only need to use limited manpower to leverage the situation and get a more ideal result-because the industrial city "reserves" many orcs who have also received basic education, Kanlar City The section of the railway will be opened to traffic soon, and the logistics transportation pressure will be relieved. The armed forces of the Industrial Alliance now make them very likely to win the war... However, war is a conflict between people. To win the victory, but after the victory?

The construction of Kanlar is still in progress. The population in the northern region will indeed be consumed due to internal strife, but the Industrial Alliance will either not join the war, and once it joins, it will win completely. At the same time, it will also completely transform those failed orcs. Otherwise, paying for the war will be meaningless.The war may be won with fewer people and at a lower cost, but the industrial alliance is at a critical stage. The reconstruction of the order after the war must be based on the investment of a large amount of manpower and material resources. Sufficient, but with the passing rate of the orcs in the relevant examinations, they are not sure that the orcs can successfully transform the northern region.

"I don't believe it either," Scar said.

Although the leader of the orcs blatantly dismantled the stage, this did not affect the continued bickering at the venue. The elves would help them make a summary of the theme from time to time to prevent them from going too far.

"You brats," Scar said.

Yun Shen calmly listened to and recorded the opinions of all parties, controlled the meeting to proceed according to the procedure, and let it end within the specified time.Although noisy in the middle, the meeting was not fruitless.

The Industrial Alliance will not send troops to either side for the time being. For the northern tribes, the Alliance requires them to send representatives to Industrial City to clarify their position; for the Orc Royal Court, they will select a spy lurking in Industrial City and send them back to Lacerda. He expressed to the orc nobles the intention of the Industrial Alliance to temporarily center the balance.The rest of the production and living constructions are still going on as usual.

This result made many people feel dissatisfied, but most people have no objection. After all, time is on the side of the alliance. Whether a fruit will fall, and when it will fall, they are the hands that receive the fruit. Can you be in a hurry?

"Oh shit," Takla said, "then what am I doing here?"

"You represent the alliance's backing." Yun Shen said.The delegates left the conference room in groups, and Takla also walked to his side and naturally helped him tidy up the table.

"Whether it's a shield or a sword, you have to take it out for people to see." Takla snorted, "Look at that one, who was thumping around outside, but now he is making a lot of splashes, everyone knows him, who It's all about him, I'm just a training class monitor."

Scar hasn't left yet, squinting at him while drinking water.Takla met his gaze with the back of his head, he bent down, put his arms on the back of Yunshen's chair, Yunshen looked up at him.

"'The sword will always come out of its sheath one day'..." Takla said slowly, it was what the elves said in the meeting just now, "someone wants to know, how long will we be hung on the wall?"

"After all, it will rust if you leave it out of the sheath," Scar said.Takla gave him a gesture of approval.

"War is indeed the sharpening stone of the army. But—" Yun Shen agreed with this statement, and Scar rolled his eyes when he heard the "but", "But Tata, do you think that if the alliance intervenes in this war, then we will bleed and die?" What is the motive? We want to let others shed blood and sacrifice, what will be the ultimate goal?"

Takla continued to speak slowly, "Of course—"

"It's because the people in the northern region are really suffering, and we need and do have the ability to change their fate;" Yun Shen asked softly, "I still want to prove myself to others by defeating a big enemy. Also very capable, proving that one race is no less important than another—for this kind of self-respecting competition?"

Takla laughed.

"Do you still need to ask?" He said, "The one in the back."

The Industrial Alliance has now controlled at least one-third of the population and land of the Orc Empire, and its economic and cultural influence has long since surpassed the region, but this scale is the result of control. An eastward route centered on New Mahy City has dispersed a large part of the power of the Industrial Alliance. If they only focus on the development of the Orc Empire, the problems that are happening in the north today will not exist at all, because the Orc Empire is no longer exists.

Many people have muttered about this "what if" in private. Many people have never stated clearly that compared with the performance of the pioneering teams of Orbis King City and New Mahy City, the construction of Kanlar City is really too slow, and Not only slow, but also very incomplete.

Without Fan Tianlan's series of achievements in New Mahic City, many people would not think that there is anything wrong with the construction of Kanlar City. The city is developing, the population is increasing, and the trade is also increasing. It is thriving, but compared to those two cities After the achievements, the status quo is hard to satisfy.The pioneers who went to those two cities achieved strong control over the location under the relatively unfavorable environment, especially Xinmaxi City. They were able to withstand the pressure brought by the tide of [-] disaster victims, not just because of industrial support from the city.

The human pioneers performed so well in the outside world, but as the other half of the alliance, the orcs gave up their efforts to pass the test on a large scale after several setbacks. At least before the rise of New Marsh City, they can still use They are more concerned about their own construction to excuse, but now that the gap is so obvious, can they still say that it is because the magicians are biased towards humans, which leads to the unbalanced development of the orc region?

Even if the significance of the Warlock itself to the alliance is close to being a totem, no one can slander, but in the beginning, who strongly supported the pioneering team to leave the Industrial City?Who had a problem with the proportion of human students in the school, who objected to the worker's grade exam, who clamored to take out what was buried under a certain monument, renew the contract, and "leave the empire to the orcs"?Although these opinions are rarely discussed in representative meetings, it does not mean that they have no audience in the orc community, nor does it mean that the human community is ignorant of them, but city managers mainly controlled by magicians control their dissemination scope to keep it in an observed state.

It is difficult for people to get rid of the influence of their growth environment, so it is natural for orcs to consider the interests of their own race when thinking about problems, which also leads to their progress in learning and work not as obvious as that of human students at the same time. This distance is further widened, eventually forming a vicious circle.Industrial City is a city with almost no defects in the memory of the pioneers, but the disciplinary department receives hundreds of complaints and reports every week, and has to interview every month, and even deport some people who really can't adapt to collective life. orc.

"Convinced on the face, but not convinced in the heart." Takla said openly, not caring at all about the expression of Ska sitting next to him, "Everyone knows."

Yun Shen showed a little helpless look.

"But what does it matter?" Takla said. "They know, but no one will tell you that every one of them thinks it's just a small problem. Guys who go out will think, you bunch still stay Guys who can’t be weaned in the city, do you know how big a deal we are doing? What can you do? Guys who can’t get out think your tails are up to the sky, but we know that you are not much better than you, if you can Give us a place, a group of people toss, it will definitely not be bad..."

Scar snorted beside him.

Yun Shen asked: "What about you? Do you also think this is just a small problem?"

"No." Takla said.

Yun Shen lowered his eyes, falling into brief deep thought.

"But..." Takla said softly, "I know that no matter what they want to toss, you can make the result the best, just like the city outside."

Yun Shen said helplessly, "I don't have such ability."

Takla laughed again. "You can, my dear warlock," he said in a gentle tone.

His amber eyes stared at Yun Shen, "No matter how stupid their motives are, they must get your approval before doing it, and you will agree because you know that they have chosen The most difficult road, they will definitely encounter troubles on the road, many, many troubles...until they can no longer use the way they take for granted, they will remember the lessons they have attended. After they have eaten enough Before the lesson, no matter how high your status is in their hearts and how right your words are, even if they listen to you, they won’t take it to heart.”

"My dear magician," Takla said with a smile, "you won't let them stay in the lower grades forever, right?"

The linen curtains blocked the overheated sunlight outside the window. In the spacious study room, the sound of the air duct hissed, and the vibration of the steam engine became imperceptible through the thick soil and several floors. Caress the long hair on the tip of Scar Nightmare's ear.

He clicked his tongue, put down a manuscript, and picked up another.A few days have passed since that meeting, and the "Study News" also published the relevant content of this northern war. As one of the reviewers, Scar has to review the relevant submissions in the comment section every day, and this job has greatly improved This is particularly evident in the letters he wrote to the pharmacist. If it were not for the fact that his handwriting ability is still limited, what the pharmacist received in New Mahy City may not be a letter, but a "daily letter." Stupid x makes me angry collection".But the trend is about the same.

He finished reading the manuscript again, and instead of reaching out to take another copy, he picked up a pen, opened a large notebook and brushed hard to write.

"I don't think you need to worry too much, this city is already harmonious enough."

Meravia turned over on the sofa, the silver hair slipped from his shoulders along with the movement, the cotton overalls that were no different from the others set him off brilliantly, he rested his chin and looked at the eyebrows pressing down on his eyes Scar said on the Internet: "You live in the same place, use the same script, speak the same language, have the same interests and the same spiritual idol, and this idol is close to perfection. What's wrong with competition?"

"'Natural selection', right?" He said to Yun Shen again.

"Yes." Yun Shen said.

Scar has been waiting for that "but...", but he didn't wait for a long time, he raised his head and looked at Yun Shen condemningly.

He asked: "Is this the reason why you want to relax that exam and let them pass?"

"Partly because of this." Yun Shen said, although Scar has his own office and it is next door, he always likes to come to work with him during this time, so every time he comes here as a matter of course, and Meravia Whenever he is here, Yunshen will consciously change a job that is not easily disturbed, or read some books at this time.

"The content of the exam is not suitable for orcs, that's also a fact." Yun Shen said.

"What are you going to change?"

Yun Shen pondered for a moment, then began to say: "I think..."

Scar took his manuscript and went back to the next door. Meravia put down his illustration book, got up from the sofa, and walked to Yun Shen, "Can I ask you a question?"

Without waiting for Yun Shen's answer, he naturally reached out and gently lifted his chin, unbuttoned his collar smoothly, and unbuttoned it all the way to the collarbone, making the underside look very colorful due to the lack of sunlight and other reasons. The light skin was exposed, and several light-colored but large red marks were imprinted on the delicate texture.

"Have you been dreaming lately?" Meravia asked.

Yun Shen sighed softly, and fastened the buttons by himself.

"Do you know what dream you're dreaming of?" Meravia asked curiously.

Yun Shen replied after a while, "I probably know."

Yun Shen seldom dreams. Most of the images in dreams are like ripples on the water, and there is no trace after waking up. Only one "dream" is special.

He would dream of the light golden scales shining in the dim light of the candle, smooth, soft, lukewarm, and the vague darkness surrounding him, he could never see its whole picture clearly, but he was always entangled by this The beautiful creature is entangled with attachment, emotions are transmitted through physical contact, and he can hear the heartbeat in the distant place.

He knew who it was, and therefore why he had the dream.So he does not reject this "dream", although he can reject it with a little thought.

"Don't you find it annoying?" Meravia asked curiously, "I remember being annoying when I was a kid."

"It's okay." Yun Shen said, "He just can't sleep."

It's just... If you don't have to hold him in your mouth when you sleep, and change places while sleeping, causing your saliva to always make him wet in your dreams.

"Has he got teeth?" Meravia asked again.

"Should... soon?" Yun Shen thought about it.
