Louis suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Marchis. Being stared at by those cruel and cold vertical pupils, Marchis only felt a cold fear coming from deep in his body.
Hisna's heart skipped a beat and she said with a slight hesitation: "... This... I need to discuss this with Her Majesty the Queen. I cannot make the final decision regarding the transfer of soldiers."
Of course, most of the old dragons spend their time in deep sleep, and they are rarely seen active.
Louis thought for a long time before slowly speaking.
But in winter, no matter which race it is, the ethnic groups living at the bottom will live the most miserable life. It is normal to lack food, clothing, hunger and cold.
What Louis wanted to do at this time was to return to Earth and think of a solution. Although a city with a population of 200,000 is already a very big city here, and it is very difficult to support it, but for modern civilization, 200,000 people Population really doesn’t count…
"Go and find some soldiers from your elves to help me manage the security in the city. If anyone makes trouble, kill them directly. As for the food issue... I'll find a solution."
Even Louis felt that this was the reason why the population of the elves could not develop. With their way of life, how could they possibly support a large group of people
In this kind of civilization that is almost medieval and relies entirely on farming and herding, for ordinary civilians, their biggest problem is food and clothing. When they don't have enough to eat, they will never consider other things. .
"Go ahead… "
It is strange to be able to compete with human beings if they don’t do farming and live by the weather.
"Hmph, if I were Her Majesty the Queen, I would also make this choice. I could occupy a strategic location without spending any troops. This deal would be a huge profit no matter how you look at it... But it's different now. Now, this dragon city has been occupied by me, and the elves have been choked by me. At the same time, my existence has blocked them from the prying eyes of other forces. If Her Majesty the Queen is really smart, my She won’t refuse if you ask for it, even if it costs more.”
It is true that many modern technological effects can be achieved by using magic, but apart from the mage himself, the only people who can enjoy the convenience of magic are the nobles. It is a luxurious life that requires the investment of huge resources, and ordinary civilians cannot even think about it.
"Hisna..."
She was tense all over, fearing that her words would offend Louis.
From Hisna's words, Louis could learn that this is true even for elves. Humans are a farming civilization and rely on farming to feed a large population. Although the orcs are not as good at farming as humans, they can also farm and then The elves rely on hunting and herding. As a race that lives in and loves forests, it is absolutely impossible for them to cut down trees and cultivate land.
Louis said and closed his eyes.
Possessing part of the dragon's mind, Louis no longer cares about the life and death of humans.
Technological civilization is a kind of group evolution, while magical civilization is an individual evolution. If you are just an ordinary person, it is naturally best to live in the world of science and technology. But if you are really a genius, it is better to live in the world of magic. The world is better, because in the magical world they are more able to do whatever they want, and they are more able to transcend the world and become saints.
"Just say what you have to say, Marchis..."
"Please speak, Your Majesty Galakrond."
Although it would be unbearable for the elves to trap and kill prisoners like this, as a ranger general, Hisna would not allow herself to be too merciful. If the great dragon in front of her really gave this order, she would not be able to bear it. Not to obey.
Especially in this world, there are still many races. Various small-scale wars have never stopped. From time to time, there will be wars between races. It is really difficult to survive. For most low-level civilians, they are the most That is to say, those who wear tattered clothes, eat black bread, and can take a bite of white bread are considered a well-off family.
He lowered his head deeply to express his humility, but he was horrified in his heart.
However, Louis' answer made Hisna stunned. She didn't expect that this giant dragon would be so easy to talk to. But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be the case. The younger the dragon is, the more grumpy and unreasonable it is, and the older ones are more grumpy and unreasonable. On the contrary, giant dragons have a gentler temperament. As long as their bottom line is not touched, older dragons generally rarely get angry.
Although magic exists in this world, mages are only a small part of the entire ethnic group, and their precious magic cannot be studied and used in people's livelihood. Anyway, the old wizards live a good life, who cares? The life of the common people at the bottom.
Even with modern technology, some poor countries may not have enough to eat. Of course, in some developed countries, the problem of food and clothing has been solved.
Marchis smiled flatteringly.
What's more, the possibility that there are still 200,000 people in the city is very small. Louis' magic will probably kill many people. As for whether the remaining people will have hatred for him, the lord, Louis doesn't care. Anyway, they are all prisoners. If they dare to disobey, they will be killed.
God of Magic, the dragons have started to play conspiracy and political tricks. They are just like those old fox politicians of humans. He actually knows how to use the situation to force the elves to send troops to defend the city for him!
And the elves still can't refuse. Who knows whether this giant dragon will be cunning enough to suddenly join forces with humans or orcs, and in turn go to destroy the elves. In addition, as the giant dragon said, he has occupied an important pass and has become The portal of the elves, so as long as the queen of the elves is not stupid, she must fully support her to become the master of this city!
After Xisna left, Machis carefully looked at the giant dragon lying on the gold coin mountain with his eyes closed, hesitation on his face.
"Then I will take my leave first, Your Majesty... I will return to the Silver Moon Kingdom to speak to Her Majesty the Queen."
Xisna tried her best to maintain her humility and said in a soft voice like an oriole emerging from the valley.
"No, no, no, great master, you are so wise, how could that stupid race of elves dare to take advantage of you?"
Suddenly the giant dragon spoke, which startled Maqis. He did not dare to hide it and said quickly: "... Great master, the elves' original plan was to prepare for you to capture the city without any effort. Take this city."
As a world with backward civilization, what is the most important thing to survive? That is of course food.
Xisna said, and slowly bowed and backed away. As for the food that Louis said, he would figure it out, Xisna didn't ask any more questions. She even thought that this might be Louis' perfunctory words. In the end, she probably still took those things. Kill civilians to reduce food consumption.
Fortunately, the body structure of elves is slightly different from that of humans and orcs. Generally speaking, they can survive as long as they eat fruits. However, even if their structure is different, they still need some meat and coarse grains. Although the elves' country is relatively closed, But they also engage in trade, trading some of the necessities of life with humans and orcs.
"Are you trying to say that the elf wants to take advantage of me?"
