Strengthen the walls and clear the fields, this is the strategy Lu Yu provided for Lan Shui to defeat the enemy.
The moment the words came out of his mouth, even Lulutis was surprised.
They had already planned to learn the Kolay language and leave. Moreover, according to Lu Yu’s acting style, he had only been slightly involved in some local affairs in Thoresen for Prince Aesop. Most of the time, Lu Yu’s identity was as he said.
—Just a passer-by.
The situation in Mostana is chaotic, and the more involved it becomes, the harder it is to escape. Before, as an outsider, I helped to uncover the conspiracy in the Dragon Clan's words, which was already helping Blue Water... Now I'm directly involved in strategic planning?
However, Lu Yu said it very firmly, and it was not a gaffe. He also wrote down how to implement it and left it to Ye Shui to judge whether it was worth adopting.
Big and small Keluer, the messengers of the Moon Shadow Werewolf, and the senior officials of Blue Water looked at the ideas provided by Lu Yu and fell into deep thought.
Little Kluer discovered that moving the Blue Water residents back to Blue Water City, leaving Izarebi's army with nothing to gain, seemed to be just a preliminary plan.
"There is indeed a plan for the next phase, but it depends on whether you are willing to adopt the first phase, and it also depends on whether the first phase can achieve the desired results."
Blue Water's senior management was very courageous. Based on the actual situation, they quickly determined that this tactic was feasible and immediately ordered the start of strengthening the wall and clearing the field.
Although I don’t know what tactics Lu Yu will use in the second stage, it is a victory to make Izarebi, the butcher, unable to get any supplies and can only circle around the blue water irritably.
The envoy of the Moon Shadow Werewolf reacted quickly, and Blue Water chose to strengthen the wall and clear the field. If he did not follow up, then Izarebi, who had hit a wall here at Blue Water, would definitely cause trouble for them in order to boost morale.
Seeing the Yueying Werewolf sending an envoy back to report the news, Lu Yu already had the confidence to annihilate Izarebi.
Selel's army is a lone force. They rely on high mobility and the alliance's different people's hearts. They seem to be working together but each has their own agenda to advance.
As long as this vanguard, which relies on war to support war, is trapped, the lonely and deep-reaching army will inevitably be shaken.
Although the mushroom people of Blue Water were unwilling to do so, they still listened to the call issued by the clan leader and harvested half-ripe crops, freshly grown fruits, and mushrooms that could be eaten by all kinds of people, leaving no food for the Serel people.
While he was methodically executing the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the country outside, Lu Yu was studying the Kolay language in little Keluer's room as usual, and seemed not to care at all about what was happening outside.
The word that little Keluer was just taught was "war".
She held her chin in her hands and stared at Lu Yu with a half-smile.
This is not a vocabulary that should be learned according to the learning progress, so Xiao Keluer opened the topic.
"Why?"
"what why?"
Seeing Keluer's face getting closer and closer, Lulutis stretched out her tentacle and waved it in front of her, signaling that she was almost done.
"I'm very interested in your change of attitude." Little Kelue smiled at this mischievous summon and continued the topic, "From the first time we met, I discovered that your goal is to go to Kelai.
, and then go to other places through Collet, you don’t put your mind on this land at all.”
"Mostana is very vast, but to you, this vastness is just a fleeting scenery during the journey. You have traveled a lot, and such scenery will only make you feel boring. The mountains and water are the same, and people and things seem familiar.
"
"War is probably a common thing, and it shouldn't cause any turmoil in your heart. You just want to find a translator and learn the Kolay language to avoid these troubles, so feel free to leave."
"You are such a purposeful, tenacious, and well-informed person. You have been doing very well these days in Blue Water. You participated in all meetings related to Selier. Your eyes flickered, and there seemed to be something in them.
You talk a lot, but you keep your mouth shut and don’t say a word.”
"Your previous attitude towards the war in Selel was that the winner takes all, right? From the perspective of a traveler like you, this is just a 'unification'."
"But you suddenly went out of your way and helped us say things that we shouldn't and couldn't say from an outsider's perspective. Then you, a well-informed traveler, stood up again and provided Lan Shui with a move to contain the Seven-Wand Yi.
Zarebi's ultimate attack... I hear you say, you plan to provide more."
"What changed you?" Xiao Keluer's face got closer and closer, and her pretty face grew bigger in Lu Yu's eyes.
Lulutis stood between the two of them, but it was useless. She was just a summoned object and was pushed aside by Little Kelue.
She originally wanted to resist, but the agreement with Lu Yu forced her to maintain her status as a "summoned object".
"Yeshui?"
Xiao Keluer looked at Lu Yu's calm eyes and quickly rejected this answer.
"Although Ye Shui is very cute, her features that are a bit mushroomy probably don't suit your taste. It seems difficult for you to accept someone who can be both male and female."
"Blue water?"
Lu Yu's eyes trembled slightly.
"Yes, but not entirely?" Xiao Keluer became interested.
The sun shines through the stained glass of the skylight, scattering colorful "petals" on Lu Yu and Xiao Kelu'er.
"I, as the Kolay language teacher, won't have any fault, right?"
Lu Yu smiled.
Little Keluer also laughed, and she introduced naturally: "In Iris, if you like someone, the way to express your love is very simple."
"Appreciate further details."
"Give the other person a piece of hair from your tail."
Lu Yu laughed loudly: "But I don't have a tail."
"It's okay, you can ask me for it."
The mist demon has been pinned down by Sigrid. Although the mist demon can break free with a little effort, she is very cooperative with Sigrid's performance at this time.
Lulutis looked left and right, she wanted to do something, but now she is just a summon...
"There is often more than one reason that can make people change," Lu Yu said.
Lu Yu didn't answer, and Xiao Keluer didn't look disappointed. It seemed like she just wanted to tease Lu Yu.
"You are right. In my opinion, the war launched by Selel in the land of Mostana is a common conquest. I have seen various versions before, and I guess I will see different ones in the future."
"So although Seler's behavior makes me feel shameless, I don't think it's inappropriate... Survival is like this. If you fall behind, you will be beaten."
"but…"
Lu Yu seemed to recall something: "Yeshui helped me, and the people in Lanshui took care of me enthusiastically and taught my little mushrooms. I rarely eat the mushroom dishes in Lanshui..."
"And, before my eyes, Selel massacred civilians of all races."
Lu Yu opened the door, and the afternoon sun shone on his face.
He walked to the balcony of the house, looked at the mushroom people moving into Blue Water City in the distance, and the busy Blue Water guards in the city, listened to the noise that could be heard here, and said calmly.
"But I am a human being."
Lu Yu knew that in real ancient wars, civilians were expendables.
There is so much blood and tears behind the three words "cannibalism". When it falls on the history books, there are only three words floating in the air.
In the age of ignorance, where there were still slaves and human trafficking was a popular business, talking about civilization was only a relative term.
When it comes to war, no one cares about the lives of civilians.
He understands, he understands, the history books he has read tell him that this is very common, because this is war.
But he just doesn’t want to understand!
Serel, a prosperous and powerful country, could be so cruel and attack unarmed and unresisting civilians.
Just because they are aliens?
Your merits can be built on the enemy. Even the goblin siege of Yas knows the difference between living resistance and ordinary people.
Selel is a human race. It is a country with more than a thousand years of history. It has experienced displacement, hunger and cold, being looked down upon, and wandering in many places. How can it be inferior to many racially-discriminated goblins?
Who is the monster, the beast?
People with a lower sense of morality are better able to get along in chaotic times, because their flexible moral bottom line allows them to adapt to any situation.
It's a pity that Lu Yu doesn't plan to be flexible now.
He was stubborn and planned to have a fight with the Serer people.
"I'm serious." Lu Yu leaned on the wooden guardrail and looked up at the sky, "I hope the little mushrooms I finally left the wetland can grow well in Mostana and wait for me to come back to pick them up.
"
"I hope that the Blue Water people who received me warmly and let me taste mushroom dishes for free will not be harmed by inhumane guys."
"Yeshui helped me, and I hope to help her too."
"I want other races in Mostana to know that people are different."
"I know that as long as I do it, it will cause trouble, but I don't regret it because I followed my heart and they are supporting me."
Little Keluer glanced at the mist demon and Sigrid. These two guys were already gearing up because of Lu Yu's speech, and were ready to open the eyes of Izarebi's vanguard.
She didn't notice that Lu Yu was smiling and squinting at Lulutis.
"If you want to be stubborn, I can't just leave you and run away. Why should I support you...Do I have a choice not to support you?" Lulutis snorted.
"But you didn't stop me when I proposed this idea before. You don't like Selel very much, right?"
"You have already made a decision. I certainly cannot object. Who told us to make an agreement in advance? All major events during the trip will be decided by you. I am a seventh-level magician, so I have a good reputation."
"Na Lulutis, I thank you in advance."
Xiao Keluer said: "It's really a complex combination of factors, but they all seem to be very trivial things."
"By the way, I teach you the Kolay language. Am I not responsible for any of these reasons?"
"If you don't let me cook for you every day, I think this is okay."
