The Karen Kingdom is now in a period of strong development, and a solid foundation is the prerequisite for the country's future prosperity. If it can live in peace and security for ten years now, as long as class solidification and corruption are not so serious, basically the country will be able to survive in the next hundred years Guaranteed.
But this can only be judged when the plane war has not broken out. What Rody fears most is that Kazwila will not give the world time to react. Almost every minute and every second now is won by him and the Dragon Clan together. If the demons successfully invaded and launched a large-scale war, the entire world would likely undergo a population cleansing just like the Black Death invaded Europe, and how many people would be left would be another matter.
For the sake of caution, Rody intends to deal with the orc's change seriously—he wrote a letter to Soderol specifically, not only for the orc, but also to establish a "military base" farther away.
This sounds a bit like what the hegemonic countries on the earth often do, but in fact, doing so is actually a better choice for the current Karen Kingdom, whose armaments are beyond the era.
Although the military strength of the small eastern countries is not high, their population and resources are not weaker than the southeast of the Karen Kingdom due to climate and geographical conditions...that is, the level of the former royal area.
Direct aggression is naturally likely to cause rebounds from other countries, but it is naturally no problem to eliminate orcs under the pretext of setting up "sentinels" or even cultivating puppet regimes, and then directly absorbing resources from these countries, releasing inflationary pressure, etc.
The only prerequisite is that the current regime guarantees stability.
Roddy was stunned for a while, because he was not a good politician, let alone a "politician", but in this position, thinking about these things was not something he was passionate about.
"Do you need a pen and paper now?"
Camilla asked, and Roddy shook his head: "We'll talk about it later in the evening, I'll write when I get back."
Seeing that he was a little tired, Camilla whispered: "Do you think it's difficult to handle?"
"It's just that sometimes it doesn't make sense. Don't look at the fact that we have airplanes and cannons, and we have the support of dragons, but in the final analysis, these wars with demons are no different from the motives of animals fighting for hunting territory..."
Luo Di sighed helplessly: "If you can live without eating, who cares about these things, but there are some things that can't be helped."
He turned his gaze to the screen in front of him, and said in a low voice: "These characteristics that demons are showing now actually show that they are not higher than human beings, and they are even inferior to human beings in some aspects. It should be more Like an ant colony or a bee colony, the existence as the leader can order everything, while the low-level individuals firmly guard their posts, and execute orders when they receive orders..."
These are not only the conclusions obtained by observing Talia, but more the results of the current research on demons by dragons and mages. Because of several consecutive invasions, many demons have entered the plane and been captured alive. Regarding the habits and weaknesses of demons, It was gradually explored over time.
Camilla raised her eyebrows: "But it sounds like it is much stronger than humans. After all, it is impossible for our army to have nearly 100% execution power like ants or bee colonies."
Both mutiny and demoralization can lead to major defeats, but this problem does not seem to exist in the demon's conception.
"It is indeed strong in the era of cold weapons, just like the Tasman's undead army, the endless sea of people tactics can drown everything. But... the shortcomings of this method are also obvious-when we fight, the death of the commander will affect the morale, But through certain means, there is always a backup commander who can stand up, and rely on various methods to stabilize morale and continue to carry out orders. But the devil is completely different... As long as a small leader is killed, the subordinates it controls will be completely plunged into chaos. Chaos, even cannibalism is possible."
Camilla didn't speak, and said after a long time: "I'm afraid they will gradually overcome this weakness after realizing it."
Roddy pointed to Talia on the screen: "So we need her."
And Talia, who was pointed at, naturally wouldn't realize what happened in the outside world.
She was walking on the hills of Berg Village at this time, carrying a rattan basket in her hand. Naifei beside her was carrying a blanket, and asked curiously, "Why do you think of an outing?"
"The recent work is finally over. Taking advantage of Master Ethan's absence, why don't we find a chance to take a rest?"
Talia walked relaxedly. She was wearing a brown linen robe and her long hair was scattered. She found a slightly higher ground and stopped: "It's right here, the scenery is very good."
"Willing to go out for an outing, this is not like your previous style."
Nefee spread the blanket on the ground, Talia put the rattan basket in her hand, and began to take out food from it—these were not delicacies from mountains and seas, but the simplest cheese, bread, sausage and fruit.
"Huh, staying in the magic tower all day, I feel like my body is going to be moldy."
Talia smiled and arranged the food, and then even took out two clay cups from the rattan basket and poured clean water on them.
This is obviously the style of a noble lady. Naifei couldn't help being dumbfounded when she saw it, took the water glass, glanced left and right, and suddenly said: "There is no one around now, do you have something to say?"
Talia nodded as expected, and she leaned closer to Naifei, and said in a low voice: "Recently, I can always hear that voice in the magic tower, so I want to verify whether it only appears in the magic tower and outside Will it be blocked?"
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand to remove a leaf sticking to Naifei's hair. The movement was natural, because she was close, and when Naifei turned her face sideways, she seemed to be only a few centimeters away from her.
Talia didn't realize that there was something wrong with this, because these days she and Nefi have become friends who talk about everything, and the relationship is much closer than before.
"Is the situation still not getting better? Then... see if there will be any difference here. Will it be better when you feel more relaxed?"
"I don't know, I always feel that there is no pattern at all—"
Talia froze suddenly as she spoke, her whole body froze like a sculpture, and she shuddered after a few seconds. The voice trembled: "Here it is again... This voice always wants me to learn plane spells, as if that thing is very important..."
"Last time it was a magic circle node, this time it's a plane spell..."
Seeing her pale face, Naifei knew that Talia was indeed afraid, so she reached out and stroked her back, and Naifei continued: "Could it be that you have some thoughts in your heart, wanting to always achieve a certain goal? "
