This reveals a danger signal. The territory of the Klein tribe is aggressive. When there are no more creatures for them to transform in this territory, will they set their sights outside this territory?
The answer is yes.
Because Sean discovered during the investigation that the territory of the Klein tribe had unknowingly expanded by nearly one-third, the fate of the Crocodile tribesmen who occupied the territory could be imagined.
Once the Klein tribe enters a state of expansion, the first ones to bear the brunt will be the civilians of the Crocodile tribe, followed by the 200,000-strong army of the Kingsley family's Eastern Army, and then the leaders of the Yongye army.
It seems that the leader of the Yongye Army is at the back, so don't worry too much.
In fact, this is not the case. If these monsters are allowed to eat up the 200,000 troops of the Kingsley family's Eastern Army, I don't know what kind of virtue they will develop into. Will the Yongye Army leader be able to curb its expansion by then?
?
The third point is that the dragon skeleton battleship Dragon Roar from the Third Fleet of the Commons family, which was captured by the Klein tribe soldiers, is on its way to the core area.
There is no nearby waterway leading here. The Dragon Roar was dragged out of the water by them. Like an ant moving, countless Klein soldiers surrounded it and moved it here bit by bit, non-stop for 25 hours a day.
Travel speed does not exceed five kilometers per day.
Considering that they were transporting a behemoth that was more than 40 meters long and weighed hundreds of tons, this speed was already quite astonishing.
"Prepare the dissecting room." Sean threw down the skeletal crocodile body he brought back and plunged into the dissecting room. In just two hours, he dismantled it into pieces.
The anatomy results are shown.
The condition of the Skeleton Crocodile is exactly the same as that of the undead Klein soldiers.
It is because a large amount of death-attribute magic energy is mixed into the blood, which leads to physical changes.
The only difference is that the Skeleton Crocodile has one more feature than the undead Klein soldier. It evolved first and then became undead.
This is why their physical changes are greater than those of the undead Klein soldiers.
What makes Sean and the others most suspicious is that this evolutionary phenomenon is obviously directional, otherwise it would be impossible for so many identical skeletons of war crocodiles to appear in a short period of time.
The more they study the situation of the Klein tribe, the more chilled Sean and the others become. What kind of monsters are hidden under the fog of death?
Fortunately, Sean has learned to control his emotions, look at different things in isolation, and not let them affect his handling of other government affairs.
Sean basically didn't think too much about Akmeser's request for a meeting: "If he wants to meet, he will arrange a meeting. I would like to see what other cards he holds in his hand. You can arrange the specific matters."
"
Sean doesn't need to worry about the safety issues during the meeting between the two parties. The people below will consider it more carefully than him.
Sean also didn't believe that at this time, Akmesser could still use despicable methods such as assassination or kidnapping. Doing so would only completely anger the leader of the Evernight Army and leave the matter without any room for maneuver.
"As you command, Your Excellency Lord." Brann took the order and left.
A meeting between the supreme commanders of the enemy and ourselves is simple to say, but when it is actually implemented, it involves a lot of complicated things.
Among them, security issues are the top priority. Both sides are worried about the other party's tricks, so they should be careful.
No matter the time or place, it will be carefully selected and negotiated before being finalized.
Even on the content of the meeting and negotiation, the two sides will conduct a certain amount of communication in advance so that when the two supreme commanders meet, they will have a clear understanding of the matter and will not break up the discussion as soon as they get started, and nothing will be resolved in the end.
As soon as Brann, the main chief of staff, left, Hawkeye, Hawkbrain of the Special Service Section, and Sean's top espionage leader, Ralph, followed in.
"What's the matter?" Facing Ralph, Sean was obviously more relaxed and at ease.
"Information from the royal capital indicates that Archduke Buck has entered the city today." Ralph replied.
"His Excellency the Grand Duke was delayed on the road for longer than we expected. It seems that the financial crisis of the Kingsley family is more serious than expected, and they have to spend more time raising funds." Sean read from this message.
Got potential information.
When Archduke Buck hurriedly crossed the river and returned to the Carter Army, they had already expected that the opponent would make this move. Sean was more concerned about the reaction of his allies than anything else, "Where is your highness?"
"Her Royal Highness the Princess announced that she was ill three days ago and refused to accept visitors. Her Royal Highness's number one diplomat, Ms. Amelia, is already on her way to the Swamp of Despair and will arrive soon. She is probably here for this matter."
After so many years of operation, the Eagle Eyes have become very mature, especially in the royal capital of Valesta. With the large-scale settlement of the Evernight Army's caravans, the number of active Eagle Eyes is astonishing. Slightly larger wind fluctuations will not appear.
In one day, it will be spread to the leader of Yongye Army.
Sean finally showed a smile that he had not seen for a long time. Among the many bad news, there was finally a piece of good news. The reaction of the Princess Regent undoubtedly sent the same signal - in her mind, the weight of the current leader of the Yongye Army was far greater.
Much higher than the Kingsley family.
Even if the Princess Regent has to intervene in the negotiations between the Kingsley family and the Yongye Army leader, she will still stand on the side of the Yongye Army leader.
As long as there is this guarantee, even in the Politburo, there will be some entanglements.
The Kingsley family is not the only one who can throw money and money at people's throats. The leader of the Yongye Army is also unwilling to give in. The reputation of the upstart Baron Sean is not for nothing.
While Archduke Buck was still on his way to the royal capital, Valesta, the Yongye Army had already taken action.
However, there are huge differences in the two companies' styles of doing things.
The Kingsley family likes to use real money to clear the way, and the leader of the Yongye Army likes to form interest alliances and use the method of benefit sharing to control people.
Both methods have their own pros and cons.
The Kingsley family's method is simple and crude, with immediate results, but it requires very high financial resources and must be able to allocate sufficient liquidity. However, this kind of temporary fixation can easily be ripped off by the other party.
In comparison, the Yongye Army leader's method of forming an alliance of interests requires more time and energy, but once it is concluded, it means burning incense every day, and the relationship between the two parties will be much more stable, reaching out to pick up others.
Before reaping the benefits, you have to carefully weigh the pros and cons.
The effect on others is unknown for the time being, but the effect on Princess Regent Sophilia is quite good.
After so many years of operation, many of the interests of the Yongye Army in the Byron Alliance have been tied up with the Princess Regent.
The better the Eternal Night Army leader manages and the greater his power, the greater the income Sophilia can record.
As long as you are a smart person, you will know how to choose.
Obviously, Her Royal Highness Princess Regent Sophia is the smartest among smart people.
"The bad news is that the black powder has been completely exposed, and it has attracted great attention from the big forces. Whether it is the Holy Ether Church, the Conclave of Witches, the Warlock Alliance or the Grand Dukes' families, they have all begun to organize special secret research departments, I am afraid that they will not be used.
How long will it take for them to be able to reversely derive the black powder formula?" Ralph said with a worried expression, "It is difficult for our people to get into this top-secret unit and there is no way to keep track of their research progress."
Special international organizations such as the Holy Ether Church, the Conclave of Witches and the Alliance of Warlocks are far more difficult to penetrate than ordinary forces.
An organization like the Holy See needs faith as a criterion in addition to ability, and this requires a long time to operate.
If you want to enter the core of the Witch Conclave and the Warlock Alliance, you must be a warlock. Ordinary people can only be their peripheral members at best, and it is difficult to access the core position. The leader of the Eternal Night Army does not have the luxury to train warlocks into eagle eyes.
.
"As expected, if they don't pay attention to it, I would have to wonder how they have survived for so many years." Sean looked calm, obviously he had been mentally prepared for this, "Can we still be afraid of the exposure of black powder?
, can’t we just hide it and not use it?”
The battle situation in the Swamp of Despair was different from everything that happened in the Andis Mountains. The leader of the Eternal Night Army was unable to block the news.
Black powder, a brand-new strategic weapon, once exposed, will inevitably lead to a glorious victory with the Eternal Night Army, and its reputation will spread far and wide.
As long as those power leaders are not stupid, they will definitely invest a lot of manpower and material resources in this area.
It is only a matter of time before the black powder formula is cracked, and it won't take too long.
In addition to the fact that the black powder formula is not complicated, it is also because there is no shortage of smart people in this world.
It's just that these smart people didn't spend their energy on this aspect. When they started thinking, they didn't know what new discoveries they would make. Maybe they could even make chemical explosives. In the ancient Andis Empire documents, there are
Records about alchemical bombs.
"That's something only idiots do." Sean's reaction relieved Ralph's tense nerves a lot. Since his lord had expected it in advance, he must have prepared corresponding back-ups, so he didn't have to worry about it.
"It's good to understand this." Sean nodded and said, "We can't hinder the development of others, but we can control our own. We only need to be a few steps ahead of others, or even half a step."
"What the lord said is true. I am a little greedy and always want to monopolize those good things." Ralph said with an embarrassed smile.
"Where's Ben Hebrew? What's the news?" Sean took the opportunity to learn about his neighbor's situation.
Just when the Yongye Army Leader was in a desperate swamp battle, the eastern reaches of the Andis Mountains also fell into a new round of turmoil. In order to prevent the backyard from catching fire, the Yongye Army Leader not only released all the mountain Kentana barbarians, but also
A large amount of military supplies and a military staff branch were supported, and the leader was none other than Ben Hebrew.
"There has been no major war in the east recently, but the situation continues to worsen. New Kentana barbarians are coming from the direction of the ice sheet every day, ranging from four to five to as many as a dozen. It won't take long.
The output of the land they occupy will not be able to bear their demands, and a new round of expansion will inevitably begin. Judging from the last round of confrontation, even with our support, it will be difficult for the Cliff Clan to resist. Their individual combat effectiveness is too high.
If there is too much disparity, those Kentana barbarians from the ice fields are monsters." Ralf rarely mixed his own personal opinions with the information.
The invincible bravery of the mountain Kentana barbarians has left a deep impression on the leader of the Yongye Army.
But compared to the Kentana barbarians from the ice fields, they pale into insignificance.
This difference is not only shown in physique, but also in the fierceness.
The difference between the two parties is like a domesticated domestic dog and a wild wolf. If they stand together, people who don't know the difference between them can clearly distinguish them.
"What about communication?" Sean frowned and did not express his personal views.
Ralph shook his head and said: "It's not ideal. Those Kentana barbarians are too barbaric. They are used to being loose and unwilling to obey discipline. Although they have a group posture, they have not yet selected a leader.
When the leaders who live in the area come, even if we want to communicate, we can't find anyone who has the final say. If we rashly bribe them with supplies, we'll probably be beaten by meat buns and never come back."
"This is indeed a big trouble." Sean couldn't help showing a hint of helplessness.
Originally, he was in a scattered state under the rule of the Crocodile Tribe, but when he came into contact with the Kentana barbarians, he discovered that the other party was quite good. At least they still had an Elders Council that had been dominant for many years, and could negotiate and communicate, and play the role of Eternal Night.
The strengths of military leaders.
Kentana Barbarian really got his name right, he is really barbaric.
There are not even many clans with hundreds of people. They are in an absolutely scattered state, and most of them are organized into families.
The reason for this situation is directly related to the living environment of the Kentana Icefield.
The produce here is scarce, and the produce of several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers of land can support the survival of several families.
If you form a tribe with a large number of people, you are seeking death by joining together.
Only during the short hunting period when the ice sea melts, they will gather together to collectively hunt those large sea beasts.
After the hunting period is over, they will be divided into family units again and return to their own hunting areas.
It is precisely because of this unique way of life that they continue to this day on the difficult conditions of the Kentana Icefield.
Now their way of life, which has lasted for hundreds of years, has been disrupted by successive natural disasters.
Races like theirs that have a more homogeneous lifestyle are less resistant to disasters and don't need to be too complicated. All they need is that the ice sea does not thaw for two consecutive years, causing them to lose the most important material supply opportunity of the year, and their lives will be completely chaotic.
.
In order to avoid genocide, they can only pass this crisis of genocide onto other races.
Sean began to try to use communication methods to solve this incident, even if it was to provide them with some free food to help them survive the current crisis.
But there is no one to call the shots, so we can’t do it one by one, right?
The most fearful thing is that the other party refuses to retreat even after taking the supplies. Once this kind of assistance from the Yongye Army becomes a habit, it will be even greater trouble.
The battle situation in the Swamp of Despair has already involved too much of their energy, so they can only support the local natives of the Cliff Clan and passively defend themselves to gain more reaction time.
Overall, although the situation is still deteriorating, it has not yet completely collapsed.
According to the original plan, the Yongye Army would take a year and a half to drag down the Kingsley family and the Eastern Army, and at the same time completely digest the Crocodile tribe.
Now that a Klein tribe variable has emerged out of thin air, it is difficult to say whether everything will develop according to the original plan.
