Chapter 291 Trist's Choice
The southern border of the kingdom, Bibo County.
The news of the demi-human alliance's invasion of the Southern Territory finally reached Trieste Wells' ears, which made her furious.
"This has happened. What do those losers do? With the Great Border Wall as a support, why can't even a mere demi-human race resist it?"
"His Majesty."
The knight who reported this matter cautiously explained: "In the past, the demi-human races in the wild areas used tribes to invade the Great Wall on the border. The threat was not very great. However, this time they unexpectedly united to launch a war. The level of threat was
It’s different from the past. Moreover, the garrison on the Great Wall at the border has been greatly reduced recently, and it is inevitable that we will not be able to resist the invasion of foreign enemies."
"You mean, all this is caused by my fault?" Tristel's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"I didn't mean that, Your Majesty."
The knight lowered his head in a hurry, sweat dripping from his forehead.
In fact, Trieste knew very well that the deployment of garrison troops was one of the main reasons for the fall of the Great Border Wall, but she didn't like to hear criticism from others.
There is no other way to mobilize the garrison. Trieste needs a brave and capable army to retake the Roaring City.
If she didn't do this, wouldn't it be possible to force peasants to fight? She didn't expect those untouchables who couldn't even hold weapons to play any role on the battlefield. The most they could do was to transport military supplies.
Not long ago, she received the news that the royal capital had changed hands and that White had been defeated. Trisit thought this was a good opportunity to attack Lion's Roar City, so she had already assembled her troops and was ready to go out at any time.
As a result, the news that the Great Wall on the border had been lost came at this time, which was simply terrible.
Compared to Lion's Roar City, Bibo County is closer to the Border Great Wall and will be attacked by the demi-human alliance earlier.
What to do? Tristel fell into thought.
Should we abandon Bibo County, lead an army to the west, and recapture Lion's Roar City?
But even if we take it back, what will happen? The demi-human alliance in the south is still a huge threat, and there is also pressure from the new king in the north. It is quite uncomfortable to be caught between the two forces.
Or lead the army south to attack the demi-human alliance?
Without the Great Border Wall to rely on, it would be quite disadvantageous to fight the demihuman coalition forces in the wilderness. Even if they succeeded in driving them back to the wilderness, the army would inevitably suffer serious losses and its combat effectiveness would be greatly weakened.
In this case, how can Triest continue to gain a foothold in the southern border? I'm afraid she won't even be able to get the Lion's Roar City back.
It seems that there is only one last option left.
Thinking of this, Triest immediately ordered the knight: "Go and inform all the nobles that I have an important decision to announce to them."
"Yes!" The knight took the order and retreated.
A few days later, Trieste led a group of nobles and elite knights on a fleet of more than ten ships and sailed away from Bibo County.
Before that, they carried out a crazy looting operation in Bibo County and carried a large amount of treasures onto the ship.
On the day they left, they ordered people to set fire to the city. The raging fire engulfed a large number of houses and buildings, and a large number of people fled.
This was the choice Trieste made, to withdraw from the southern territory and let the new king and the demi-humans unite to fight a war and consume each other's strength. She would use the large amount of stolen treasures to recruit mercenaries outside, and then find an opportunity to counterattack back.
Now that she was leaving, she didn't want to see Bibo County fall into the hands of the demi-human alliance or the new king, so she destroyed it with her own hands.
On the largest ship, Trieste stood on the deck, looking at the fire in the distance and the rising black smoke, feeling completely calm in her heart.
"Goodbye, I will come back." She said ruthlessly.
…
The Great Border Wall, the Asian United Military Camp.
After receiving the complaint from the leader of the Spotted Dog clan, the big leader Jura called his son to the tent where he was resting.
"Father."
He knew why his father summoned him, and he was already mentally prepared to accept the punishment.
Jiula sat on a chair and looked at his son seriously.
"Half, I heard that you attacked two Spotted Dog soldiers in a human village to save a human woman?"
"Yes, father." He said truthfully, "They were humiliating that human woman at that time. I really couldn't stand it anymore so I took action."
"well--"
With a helpless sigh, Jiula shook his head and said, "Long, if you don't want to worry about so many things, just pretend you didn't see it, can't you?"
"I can't do this."
"Old, you have to put the overall situation first."
Jura had long expected that Long would answer this way. After all, he knew his son's character very well and had longed for justice since he was a child.
"You should be very clear that the demi-human alliance is not monolithic. Each tribe has its own small thoughts. If you do this, it will only arouse the dissatisfaction of the Spotted Dog tribe, aggravate the internal divisions, and be of no benefit to the demi-human alliance."
"I……"
He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Let me ask you, why did our demi-human alliance choose this time to attack the Kingdom of Dawn and take back our homeland?" Jula suddenly asked a question.
After thinking for a while, Hao replied: "Because the Ganan Desert in the south is constantly eroding the wilderness, the living space of our demihuman race is getting smaller and smaller, while the population of each tribe is getting larger and larger, and it can no longer be maintained.
Got down."
"Well, that's good to know."
The demihuman races are unable to stop the Ganan Desert from moving northward and devouring the barbaric areas. In order to ensure that their respective tribes can continue, they have only two solutions.
One is to launch a civil war, which will consume the population of each tribe while competing for survival resources. The weak demihuman race may become extinct as a result.
As long as the population is reduced to a certain level, the demihuman race can continue to survive peacefully in the wilderness.
However, this kind of peace can only last for a period of time, and civil war will break out once the population increases.
Moreover, the area of the wilderness area is constantly decreasing, and the civil war continues, and the population of the demihuman race will only become smaller and smaller.
The other is to launch a war against humans, take back the land that originally belonged to the demihuman race, and expand the living space.
There are two directions of attack, either to the west to capture the Skyfire Fortress of the Kingdom of Star Flame; or to the north to breach the Great Border Wall of the Kingdom of Dawn.
"I have been sending tribesmen to investigate the condition of the Great Wall on the border."
Jiula said slowly: "I found that their patrol intensity has been gradually decreasing since last spring, so I can infer that the garrison there has been reduced. This is a rare opportunity. I invited the clan leaders of each tribe, and it took a lot of effort to successfully organize
'Asian United' Alliance."
"Humanity is very powerful. Only when all the tribes work together can they defend the homeland they finally regained. Hazuki, I don't want the demi-human alliance to suffer from internal instability. Do you understand?"
"I know humans are strong."
After thinking about it, Hao still chose to stick to his own justice.
"If the human army invades, I will definitely charge forward and repel them! But if I turn a blind eye to injustice, it will be difficult for me to obey."
"you!"
It was useless to say so much, Jula was really angry.
"Our demi-human race and humans are mortal enemies. We will never give up until we fight to the death. There is absolutely no possibility of peaceful coexistence between the two sides. Hazy, you don't need to sympathize with humans. If one more human dies, our demi-human race will gain one point."
Hope of victory."
"Is it true that the only way to ensure the safety of our subhuman race is to eliminate humans?"
There is some resistance to this. If humans must be eliminated, they must kill children, women and the elderly who have no power to resist.
"That's right!" Jula said decisively.
