From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 277 Hidden planning

The speech ended successfully, and although the response was enthusiastic, how effective it will be depends on subsequent development;

However, Nesta is very confident about this. The citizens have continued the simple concepts of the barbaric period in character. Even his level of motivation and encouragement should be enough to become a 'chicken-blooded' for a long time.

'Encourage them to adopt a more positive attitude to pursue their own progress in various aspects.

Afterwards, Nesta did not leave directly, but took the students of each grade and had a general exchange with the teachers. After a more intuitive understanding of what he was thinking, he said goodbye to the overly enthusiastic little guy.

We, returned to our offices.

~~~~~

In the office, Azshara, who had returned earlier, was already waiting, and she greeted him with a smile.

"How am I doing?" Nesta turned her face sideways and pointed to the corner of her lips to signal to her partner.

"You performed very well and deserved a reward."

After offering a kiss, everything returned to normal. Nesta said goodbye to Azshara, who was about to inspect the other branch fortresses, and summoned all the important officials from the ruling government to prepare to give instructions again;

After they arrived, they held a small meeting in the small office.

"Administrative cooperation must be in place, and we must not let down the fire that has been ignited in the hearts of the people. You must actively meet all benign needs in all aspects;"

"But when there are real shortcomings or things you can't do, don't hold on;"

"No matter what the problem is, even if it is submitted to the parliament after sorting it out, we will try our best to coordinate;"

"If we don't have enough supplies, we'll add production lines. If we don't have enough knowledge, we'll carry out special development. Now, isn't it the past that we can do more, do it better, and do it faster, do you understand?"

After some exchanges, the leaders of various departments of the ruling government were sent away. Then Nesta called in several active military personnel here and also gave relevant instructions.

"There are disagreements in the northern continent, and you should already know the specific situation, so ocean development will be our main goal at this stage;"

"clear!"

"Well, in view of this, the Parliament is preparing to normalize the submarine fortress. It will become the general forward base facing the ocean, and the army will also play a corresponding role in this process."

"Understood, what do we need to do specifically?"

"First point, the forward base will play an important military role in the future, so you need to exclude the engineering troops from participating in the expansion construction, and in the process have a deeper understanding of the various conditions in the base;"

"Take the order! The army's engineering corps will start taking action immediately."

"The second point is the need to prepare a combat force specifically for the sea to further strengthen our combat effectiveness and foothold in the sea."

"For combat effectiveness in the sea, do you mean to continue to increase the assembly speed of battleships and other weapons?"

"No, the target this time is not land or sea units. The battleship's attack method is too biased and lacks the ability to threaten the seabed;"

"Nowadays, ocean monsters are our primary imaginary enemy, so what needs to be strengthened is the ability to move at various depths below the sea surface, and even into the deep sea;"

"The submarine I proposed before is one of the ideas, but we still need to come up with more options based on the actual situation and refine the current options."

"Understood, we will immediately convene the staff to discuss it."

"Very good. I will arrange the relevant research institutes and do a good job in connecting them later."

"clear!"

"Okay, let's go first and hurry up."

"clear!"

~~~~~~~

Many matters were being planned, and more than a month later, an important piece of information from the mainland was sent, which read:

‘The elite troops of the Twin Kings are moving south rapidly, targeting the wolf activity areas around City 034. Later, a coalition of more than 30,000 races with 10,000 mammoths as the core will be dispatched; marching speed and strength analysis...'

"Have you received the intelligence over there? The vanguard that set off first is suspected to be the guardian of the altar of the royal city. There are about a thousand in number, which should be one-thirtieth of the overall size. This is also our first opportunity.

Meet this team.”

Putting down the information in his hands, Nesta spoke to the air in the empty office.

"Received. The mainland base station said that the person in charge of this battle is the mammoth hero Alexei. He seems to have the position of captain of the altar. He is the forward guard of the altar and the 10,000 royal city troops in the coalition.

A direct subordinate. However, this guy actually chose to go with the Pioneers."

The power of the fangs sounded out of thin air in the vibration of the air, and Nesta was certainly not surprised by this. He continued to say in deep silence,

"I analyzed the various data displayed on the voice message, and then compared it with the physical fitness of the mammoth we have. Alexei's single-body strength has reached the level of the Twelve Wolf Kings, and the altar defenders under his command are also

They are all on the same level as the Giant Wind Wolf, and the officer level is on par with the Lord Wolf. So, are there still about thirty such teams?"

"Well, the total number of guards at the Royal City Altar seems to be around 30,000. Judging from the data shown this time, the quality of the warriors there is almost equal to that of our elf warriors;"

"Furthermore, if they fight within the radiation range of the altar, their strength will be improved depending on the strength of the altar. In any case, it is a very considerable combat power. As for Alexei, Cou Ya and I can deal with it alone.

It’s very difficult, I think only you and Azshara can handle it easily for the time being in the entire country.”

"But it stands to reason that it shouldn't be. Based on the quality shown by the mammoth species. The strength of this army seriously exceeds the standard. Is their cultivation system so much better than ours? Can they wipe out the natural talents in decades?

gap?"

"The doubts about the fangs are also my own. It's not that we haven't captured their practice system before. It is indeed sophisticated enough and very targeted for the mammoths, but it really shouldn't have such an effect."

Azshara is not currently in the main underwater fortress, but is patrolling in the branch fortresses in other directions. At this moment, the meeting is also mediated through magic, so her voice is also vibrating in the air.

".Should we try to catch him and the altar guards under his command? They are going to fight anyway, so it is normal for them to die or disappear, right?" Jianya suggested enthusiastically at this time, "The vanguard is too fast.

The distance from the main force will inevitably keep getting farther and farther, and if we send out elites, we will definitely make it impossible for them to come back!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't forget why we are hiding here now, do you want to provoke us again?" Couya hurriedly came out to stop his adventurous thoughts.

But Nesta was lost in thought at this time.

After a long time, he suggested,

"It's really not appropriate for us to go out in person. But can we discuss it with the twelve wolf kings and hire them to go out?"

"I think it's feasible. They are also wolves, so their appearance there is not out of the ordinary. Moreover, after capturing Alexei, we can hold him in the north for a while and see if the two kings have the ability to grasp the whereabouts of their subordinates before we talk about anything else."

"Azshara is right, he can be captured, but he cannot be transported back immediately. After the Wolf King succeeds, he will be transferred to another place and imprisoned for three to five months. As long as there is enough time, everything will be tested." Jianya said.

"Okay. Then I have no objection. What about the Wolf King? What bargaining chips can we give? They don't really obey our orders." After expressing his agreement, Couya asked another question.

In this regard, Nesta also fell into a brief thought,

"That's a question. After all, everything is lacking. How about strengthening the combat power? Isn't that what they need?"

"Is it a totem? Just like the little guys' companion monsters?"

"Yes, optical invisibility, further physical explosive power, and additional bonuses in agility can also be considered. They can be given through totems. And pay first and then work, which can just provide assistance in this battle."

"Okay, I have no objection. But it's best to leave some backdoor so that in case of emergency, the totem can be destroyed remotely."

"It's very easy. Moreover, if you plan to develop territorial mercenaries in the future, it seems that you can also use this method to impose restrictions? You can even not only erase the totems, but even the rebellious individuals can be directly eliminated."

"Okay, Ms. Azshara, although your suggestion is a bit vicious, it is indeed a solution."

"Humph, I will go back in three days. Your Excellency, Speaker of the Parliament, you will pay the price for these words."

"Ahem. Let's call it a day. I'll take care of the Wolf King."

~~~~~~~~~~

After the meeting, Nesta sent the message to the Wolf King's territory, and while waiting for his reply, he began to verify the feasibility of Azshara's method.

Facts have proved that this is indeed a feasible plan, and its targets are not limited to 'mercenaries'.

With this layer of protection, combined with the two functions of 'locating' and 'destroying', even the promotion of totem industrial products within affiliated races has become a feasible and safe matter. There is no need to

So cautious;

At that time, the city-states on the northern plateau will have more powerful productive forces than they do now and are always under the control of the republic, and the country's totem industrial products will have a truly controlled external market.

And as a result, the Republic’s need for ‘foreigners’ has also been put on the table

The northern tribes are divided into the following categories in the Black Forest:

One, Rhine, Mammoth, Tusk;

These three people stand side by side in the west, center and north. They are the most powerful ethnic groups on the continent today, and the altars of their ancestors are most likely to be enshrined in living 'omnipotent beings' whose individual strength is the strongest on the continent. Or

Say 'nearly omnipotent'.

Secondly, with the eastern part of the continent as its base camp, there are also many secondary forces scattered among the other three powers;

These ethnic groups have their own independent territories, there are also slave tribes under their command, and their own racial combat power is relatively strong. It can be said that they are the regional strong tribes of Xiaoba;

Moreover, there may be a ‘near-omnipotent’ behind them, but maybe it’s stronger and weaker than the first three?

Third, a race in which a small number of compatriots have become slaves but have independent power;

The representative of this side is the horned hoof species, and their old enemy the Seti species. Their altar is very special and can be used, but it is very weak. This makes the witch doctors not sure what the status of its 'protector' is.

.

Fourth, most of the compatriots were reduced to slaves, and the remaining half were either struggling in desolate areas, or surviving under the protection of the two mammoth kings. Their ancestral altars existed sporadically, but were completely ineffective;

Fifth, almost all of them became slaves and were deeply servile. They were neither willing to resist nor accept the protection of the two kings. Instead, they were grateful to the slave-owning race.

After weighing the pros and cons, the witch doctors believed that the fourth of the five categories was the most suitable target for their headquarters, and formulated a plan to conquer them, preparing to place them on the fragmented plateaus in the northern mountains.

In the previous battle with Twin Kings 034 City, the Republic captured tens of thousands of protected persons, and most of them were creatures from this type of ethnic group;

After some appropriate training and the use of covert restrictions, they may be able to become lobbyists in the Black Forest, communicating with both parties.

However, there is a prerequisite for this, which is that these captives have indeed lived a peaceful life under the care of the elves, and this kind of peace must be short-lived.

Only in this way can they truly identify with their 'persuasion' behavior and sincerely believe that it is indeed for the sake of their own ethnic group.

But for now, although in the two or three months before the 'escape' began, the elven engineers had helped the captives build cities and states, allowing them to initially have a stable living environment;

But after all, the time was too short, and they had only seen the ferocious side of the elves not long ago, so their minds had not really settled down, nor had they changed the impression left by the previous battle;

Therefore, at least it is not the time to implement the plan yet. After this period of hiding, the headquarters must still be gentle and appeasing;

It is not until they have lived here, reproduced for one or two generations, developed a sense of belonging here, and confirmed the 'friendliness and peace' of the elves that the follow-up plan will be launched.

After writing down this policy and sending it to the parliament to discuss the feasibility, Nesta finally waited for the Wolf King's reply.

The result was very good. Two wolf king couples were willing to take over this 'business'. Nesta welcomed this and asked the closer Cougars to send executors to implement the totem engraving plan.

Because the wolf kings are too keen, when carving the totem this time, except for the 'destruction of the totem', there are not too many private goods involved;

Moreover, the purpose of the only 'private goods' was to 'prevent secrets from being leaked', and it had no ill will towards the Wolf Kings, so it was not noticed by them, so the totem was engraved very smoothly;

About three days later, the two pairs of wolf kings who accepted the totem boarded a small high-speed airship and were transported to the habitat chosen by the wolves in the north, preparing to surprise the mammoth hero and his vanguard army.

When this matter was arranged and the Wolf King was sent away, the military department's demand discussion on Nesta's previous proposal had been completed.

The military first envisioned a plan for deep-sea exploration, and then obtained specific needs based on the plan. Later, during discussions with the research institute responsible for docking, they were told which projects could be achieved, which projects were temporarily unavailable, and which projects were temporarily unavailable.

Project is purely whimsical

As a result, after repeated exchanges with various parties, the preliminary requirements were finally determined and the design process has entered;

After the design is completed, the relevant research institutes will manufacture the first-generation test model with bare hands, and make improvements at any time based on actual operation;

Until the final form is finalized, the witch doctors will be responsible for changing it from the 'hand-made production' model to the 'industrialized production' model, and designing the corresponding assembly line while linking it with the existing factory.

Depending on the experience accumulated in the past and the surge in the number of witch doctors, this process is expected to last from several months to half a year.

~~~~~~

About a month later, when Nesta suffered a burst of 'retaliation' after Azshara returned, the latest information from the north was also delivered.

'As the vanguard, the altar guard army has arrived at the Double Kings 034 area and is preparing to launch an encirclement and suppression of the wolves after rest. The primary target, Alexei, is with the vanguard army. The large coalition force was handed over to his adjutant to command the four wolf kings.

Ready for action.'

"Very good, well done to Alexei! But it's understandable, after all, the altar guards are his most important unit, hahaha!"

Amidst Jian Ya's slightly arrogant laughter, someone sighed suddenly and said,

“What a pity”

"What's a pity? What a pity that he has to be captured? Ha! Since when did you start to sympathize with the enemy, Coarse Tooth?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? What I mean is that it's a pity that we can't see the battle scene. Just relying on the voice capture from the mainland base station is still a bit abstract. There is no way to intuitively feel his power and his fighting style."

"What's the matter? Let's have another fight on our territory after everything is over. We're not going to kill him this time."

"That's right. But can't we think of a way to "light propagation"? Find a way to intuitively receive "light signals" from a distance, so that the current "monitoring" can become "surveillance". At that time, as long as the mainland

Base station upgrade. In other words, directly attach this function to the airship to create a mobile surveillance platform."

"It's a good idea, although it seems a bit difficult. Let's start searching for monsters with 'light'-related abilities. Also, is there any news about monsters that can master thunder and lightning spells?" Nesta said.

"There is news, but the target moved too fast, and our scouts missed it. Moreover, the 'Shelter' seems to have strong control over lightning. If we really take 'Thunder and Lightning' as an important development direction, will it become its future

Tools to counter us?”

"It's possible, but that's not the reason why we don't study it. We need to master the knowledge first. Then it's up to us whether we use it or not."

"What the Speaker said makes sense, so let's send more troops to search for it. The same goes for the 'Light' side. Let the investigators from all directions pay attention."

"Well, that's it. Let's wait for the monitoring report from the Wolf King. It's probably only for the next few days. Let's break up the meeting today."

~~~~~~

In the north, the southern protection governorate of both republics, with the original 034 City as the center, and within a radius of 800 kilometers, is the temporary territory of more than 3,000 wind wolves

The arrival of the four wolf kings actually made the wolves nervous for a while. After all, the former regarded them as traitors, and the hostility in their eyes was clear;

However, as time passed slowly in waiting, the smarter lord wolves took the lead in settling down, because they discovered that these four once aloof rulers now seemed not to dare to think of themselves as waiting for wolves?

This is indeed the case. After all, the family fortunes of the four wolf kings are all under the nose of the Republic, so they can only choose to stay out of sight at this time and wait alone in a place far away from the large wolf army.

Fortunately, the wolves were still in awe of the strong and did not push the envelope. Instead, under Nesta's remote instruction, they were always ready to cooperate with the Wolf King's actions.

Until mid-March of the Rune Calendar, when the mammoth hero Alexei arrived with the most elite forwards, the action finally began with the tacit understanding of the wolves.

The four wolf kings did not show their faces directly. Instead, they first attracted the enemy's attention with the rest of the wolves, leading the vanguard army step by step to more remote areas, and then slowly turned on the newly 'mastered' stealth skills.

near

In order to ensure the success of this mission, the Republic not only provided them with stealth, but also provided them with high-end totems in terms of strength and agility, which increased the combat power of these four already powerful wolf kings by about 30%.

, and ultimately assisted him to defeat the enemy with relative ease during the operation.

Of course, from other aspects, this battle was by no means easy. The wolves also suffered heavy losses in the battle against the large altar guarding force;

On the whole, the relatively weak low-level wind wolves suffered almost all casualties, and nearly one-third of the giant wind wolves were killed in the battle. The powerful and swift lord wolves suffered the least losses, with only about forty dead.

Just a few;

After this battle, there were only about 260 Lord wolves, about a thousand Giant Wind wolves, and less than a hundred Wind wolves left in the original wolf pack that numbered around 3,000.

And what they achieved was to completely annihilate the most elite altar garrison on the opposite side.

The four wolf kings captured Alexei alive in a nearly unharmed state, and after eliminating his ability to move, he was sent to an underground prison prepared by the investigators on this side;

Afterwards, they returned to the Black Forest in the airship and returned to their own territory. Together with other wolf kings, they quickly made opinions on the Republic's 'credibility', 'degree of insidiousness', and 'combat power enhancement capabilities'.

comminicate;

Let’s ignore the matters here for the time being.

During this battle, it can be said that the elves were in a state of "hiddenness" throughout the whole process. Whether it was fighting, receiving prisoners, or subsequent detention, there was no trace of their participation. All matters were completed independently by the wolves;

After imprisoning Alex and a small number of other officers, the investigators still did not show up under the instructions of the Republic, leaving them to starve, as long as they were watched from a distance so that they would not appear inexplicably.

Just run away after recovering.

And here at Mammoth.

About a few days later, due to the sudden disappearance of news from the vanguard, Alexei's adjutant cautiously stopped the advance of the coalition forces;

Then, on the one hand, he arranged for the rangers to go to the front to investigate, and on the other hand, he sent people to report the changes in the Twin Kings City as quickly as possible.

Judging from the relatively primitive speed of information exchange in the Mammoth Kingdom, this trip will take at least more than a month;

In contrast, Black Forest learned the specific information that day.
