Chapter 3413: Suggest Surrender
Sun Faction, Residential Area.
The residential area was formed by hollowing out the mountain. The entire Border Area was cut off by continuous mountain ranges, and the north and south sides of the mountain ranges were close to the oceans on both sides of the continent.
The only gap in the middle of these mountain ranges was where the Sun Fortress was located. The internal space of all mountain ranges could be developed into residential areas, so the residential area was much larger than imagined, totaling 1 to 89 districts.
Residential Area · District 3, as one of the first few residential areas, plus the first ball field was in District 3, Wild Boar Warriors and Dwarf Boar-men were more willing to come here in their spare time.
In the open mountain space of District 3, all kinds of houses were built here. These houses were diverse, many of which were built by Dwarf Boar-men.
The Dwarf Boar-men, whose population was approaching 130,000, were also full of talents. Besides mining active ore and building houses, they also had some business acumen.
Some smart Dwarf Boar-men, a dozen of them grouped together, initially helped Wild Boar Warriors build houses.
Building houses was not free. Did the Wild Boar Warriors have money? Of course not, but the spoils they seized from the enemy when killing enemies, except for weapons and combat uniforms, all belonged to them and became their personal assets.
At first, these personal assets had no meaning. After those dozen Dwarf Boar-men started charging for building houses, the personal assets of the Wild Boar Warriors had meaning. They didn't have much use for storing these spoils, so they might as well use them to build houses.
This pioneering commercial behavior made the business of those dozen Dwarf Boar-men endless. Other Dwarf Boar-men saw this and followed suit.
Dwarf Boar-men worked 8 hours a day, in three shifts. With their physical strength, working an extra 5–7 hours at most made them feel a little tired.
In this way, building houses in the mountain space within the residential area became a trend. Later, some smarter Dwarf Boar-men, relying on the teleportation array on the side of Warehouse 2, traveled between the Human and Sun Factions.
All kinds of groceries, wine, clothing, etc., were bought in large quantities by these Dwarf Boar-men at cost price, and then exchanged for the spoils of the Sun Warriors by way of barter.
In this way, the embryonic form of initial economy was formed. What surprised Su Xiao was that the Sun Priestess Octavia previously found him and implicitly expressed that she wanted to issue a currency.
The reason Octavia made this request was that she instinctively felt that if the Dwarf Boar-men kept using the currency of the Human side, something very bad would happen in the future.
As for prohibiting Dwarf Boar-men from doing business, this was even more inappropriate. With the appearance of Dwarf Boar-men merchants, Octavia clearly felt that life had become much more convenient.
Regarding this, Su Xiao did not oppose it. He originally thought that at least after he left this world, the Sun Fortress would gradually start to develop commerce, currency, etc. He didn't expect it to be so fast.
This kind of spray-like commercial development speed was not worth being surprised. The Kinfolk and Human sides had perfect commercial, economic, and production systems, and the Dwarf Boar-men could "copy homework."
A Dwarf Boar-man even wanted to start a bank, but the step was too big and pulled the egg. Without even a currency, starting a bank was a bit ridiculous.
Su Xiao did not participate in the currency aspect. Under the discussion of Hausman, the Sun Priestess, and Chef Lady Motie, they decided to mass-produce a type of metal currency, the material being gold + a certain amount of active ore powder.
The reason for choosing gold was not because of its own value, but because of stability, to avoid the active ore powder inside from excessively fusing with metal materials. Active ore powder was the stabilizer that guaranteed the value of the currency.
This currency, which looked like a gold coin but was called a Sun Coin, was the first currency of the Sun Faction. Smaller denominations had not been issued yet. The main users of this currency were those Dwarf Boar-men merchants, who were also called Dwarf Merchants.
The overall military force of the Sun Faction was powerful and famous for war. Plus, the Wild Boar Warriors and Dwarf Boar-men had some family background through war. The situation of the Sun Faction could be described as changing with each passing day.
This was not pioneering civilization, but developing on the existing framework. With these hard conditions, it was difficult to develop slowly.
Residential Area · District 3 · South Street, Su Xiao walked on the street with Bubu Wang. The stalls on the side of the street were mostly Dwarf Boar-men setting up stalls. In their spare time, their greatest pleasure was setting up small stalls.
Su Xiao stopped in front of a two-story building. This was a hospital built not long ago. There were several in each residential area for the wounded to recuperate inside.
Walking into the hospital, along the stairs to the second floor, Su Xiao pushed open the door of a ward. The lighting in the room was good, clean and tidy, with a total of three hospital beds.
Lying on the middle bed was a Kinfolk with a small mustache on his chin. He had flaxen short-to-medium hair, the hair was a bit curly, a high nose bridge, and he looked to be in his early 30s. His skin was well maintained. This person was a noble among the Kinfolk, the captain of this pilgrimage team, Quebo Jepri.
Jepri, lying on the hospital bed, had his eyes closed tightly. He didn't use a pillow, and there was a bracket behind his head. Although he was in a dream, his mouth made meaningless humming sounds. Presumably, the previous hammer blow to the back of his head had a great impact on him.
Su Xiao gave a look to the Sun Priestess Octavia. The Priestess took a deep breath, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. In Baha's words, given time, this Priestess would definitely become an outstanding little bitch, with a holy mother smile on her face and a heart as ruthless as a snake and scorpion.
The Priestess walked forward slowly. Her hand rested on the shoulder of the noble Jepri, shaking him gently and calling: "Mr. Jepri, wake up, our Lord has come to see you."
The noble Jepri's eyelids trembled. After he opened his eyes, he was confused for a while, and in turn, anger appeared in his eyes.
"You... how dare you!"
The noble Jepri recalled what happened before. The last time he woke up, he was much calmer than now. That was because he was knocked out. Whoever was hit on the head by a heavy hammer until they were incontinent would have a blank memory when they first woke up.
Seeing that Su Xiao didn't speak, the Priestess knew this was her chance to perform. The smile on her face was even more holy, and she said softly: "Mr. Jepri, regarding what happened before, I apologize to you solemnly. I am very sorry."
The Priestess bowed. She had realized that as long as she didn't take out substantial resources, apologizing didn't matter at all—the truth of the bitch.
Facing this situation, the anger in the noble Jepri's heart dissipated a bit. Not to mention that the Priestess was truly beautiful and had a gentle temperament. It was said that one should not hit a smiling person, let alone a beauty who was smiling gently.
"You speak nicely. If apologizing were useful, there would be no need for laws in this world."
Jepri was not prepared to let it go. As a member of the noble family of the Aurora Council, he originally thought that after coming to the Sun Fortress, at most he would be guarded against, and the treatment would definitely not be bad. Even the middle and high-level officials of the Sun Fortress would be respectful to him.
But who would have thought that before he even entered the door of the Sun Fortress, he was hit on the back of the head with a war hammer. He clearly remembered that he knelt down with a thud at that time. Because the central nervous system was severely damaged, he immediately felt a heat in his crotch. That bubble of urine he had been holding all the way was already in his pants pocket.
At that time, Jepri was angry to the point of madness. But after being hit by four or five hammers on the head, he felt a fear of suffocation. His thought at that time was that the pig-headed man really wanted to kill him. This made him unable to care about anything else, and he begged for mercy in a hoarse voice.
Recalling these, Jepri's lips were pale and trembling. He couldn't swallow this breath without revenge. But now, he knew he had to endure.
"Lord Bai Ye, your subordinates are too impulsive. I won't let this matter go like this. After my injury heals, I want to duel with that guy named Hausman."
Jepri said this. At first glance, it was unconvinced, but on second thought, he was acknowledging this conflict as a fight-type conflict caused by him and Hausman each leading a group of people. It was a private grudge between the two of them and did not involve the Kinfolk and the Sun Fortress.
If you think about it from another perspective, a Kinfolk noble who has been respected since he understood things, received the best education, and enjoyed the best resources, such a person is undoubtedly an elite. But they also have pride in their hearts.
Such a person, after being inexplicably beaten to the point of almost dying, actually said some words of yielding. This is obviously unconvinced.
Thinking of this, Su Xiao turned and walked out of the ward. The Priestess with a full holy mother smile followed closely. Before closing the door, she also said gently: "Pay attention to rest, Mr. Jepri."
The door was closed gently. Jepri on the hospital bed had an increasingly gloomy face, and his fists were clenched until they clicked.
Just at this time, with a bang, the door was kicked open roughly, and a burly figure walked into the ward.
Steel Tooth and the Wild Boar five brothers, six people, walked into the ward. Each of them was carrying a bunch of white flowers.
Steel Tooth, as if visiting a grave, threw the bunch of white flowers in his hand at the end of Jepri's bed. No matter what, the six of them were here to visit the patient and couldn't carry weapons, so they could only take materials on the spot.
All six of them looked at the mops piled in the corner. This thing was all-metal, with a mop head for cushioning. It couldn't be poked to death, but it should be quite painful.
Heaven knows why there were a dozen mops piled in the corner of the ward.
"Clean up the room for a few distinguished guests."
Steel Tooth hugged six mops. After each person had one, all six people had exceptionally friendly smiles on their faces.
Not long after, pig-like screams came from the ward. Outside the door, a female pig-headed nurse leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette with a snap.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao returned to the ward. The bedding was brand new, the walls were snow-white, but only the faces of Jepri and the three were full of rectangular "seals" poked by mops.
"How is the injury recovering? The doctor here has very high medical skills."
Su Xiao spoke. Jepri, who was lying on the hospital bed, turned his eyeballs, and the teeth in his mouth clicked. Seeing this, the Priestess standing behind Su Xiao sighed.
"It seems that your recovery is not good."
Leaving this sentence, Su Xiao left the ward. Before turning against the Kinfolk, no matter what, he had to let Jepri take the initiative to tell the Kinfolk side that this matter was a personal conflict between him and Hausman. In this way, even if the Kinfolk side had thousands of words, they were all farting.
A big fist is the hard truth. The joy of signing the "Border Treaty" made the Kinfolk side forget why they chose to negotiate in the first place.
Returning to the second floor of the Sun Fortress, Su Xiao looked around at the Alienation Greenhouse in front. If the efficiency of the greenhouse was fully opened, it could cultivate about 50,000 war boar mounts every day. No matter how you look at it, this efficiency was too slow.
But this was not a bug nest, and there was no such terrifying explosive soldier efficiency. Cultivating 50,000 war boar mounts every day was already working beyond the load, and would even permanently reduce the existence time of the fortress.
Wanting to equip the current 500,000 Wild Boar Warriors with war boar mounts, it would take at least 10 days. Su Xiao couldn't wait that long. He estimated that the maximum time limit for this world competition was only a few days left. He couldn't drag it out; he had to make a quick decision.
Regarding the cultivation speed of war boar mounts not being fast enough, Su Xiao had already thought of a solution. Since cultivation was too late, then transform.
His idea was to choose a type of wild boar-like alienated beast, and then temporarily combine the characteristics of the greenhouse and the evolution nest. Based on this wild boar-like alienated beast, transform into war boar mounts. The principle was similar to transforming pig-headed men into Wild Boar Warriors.
Su Xiao felt this was feasible. Transforming a life was much faster than creating a life.
Su Xiao left 100,000 Wild Boar Warriors to garrison the base camp. The remaining 400,000 Wild Boar Warriors were divided into two groups, one led by Hausman and the other by Baha. The purpose was only one: attack all gathering places and habitats of the Beast Tribe, and kill without mercy when seeing alienated beasts.
What Su Xiao had to do was very simple: spare no cost to beat the Beast Tribe side until they were autistic.
Ask, why did no one go to occupy the Beast Tribe side? Was their war capability strong? Not really, but they were poor.
The territory where the Beast Tribe was located, except for some underground metal ore veins, rarely had other precious minerals and resources. Active ore veins and the like had long been mined to exhaustion.
The Beast Tribe was originally driven to the east of the continent by the joint efforts of the Humans and the Kinfolk. Plus, the Beast Tribe not only had a large number but also had good individual combat power. The transcendent materials obtained by killing them were not enough to fill the military expenses of the expedition and the pension money paid out.
Su Xiao still chose to attack the Beast Tribe. One was that he needed a large amount of transcendent flesh and blood, and the other was to force the Beast King to surrender.
As long as that side surrendered, Su Xiao could propose to let that side hand over hundreds of thousands of wild boar-like alienated beasts. It was too unrealistic to catch such a number of alienated beasts one by one. Only by beating the Beast King to a dead end could the Beast King be forced to give a mandatory order to these wild boar-like alienated beasts, temporarily affecting their spirits and letting them come to the Sun Fortress by themselves.
Alienated Beast Territory · East Marsh.
This place was the area closest to the Border Area, adjacent to the Border Area. In such a throat-like place, the Beast King naturally deployed a large number of alienated beasts. The four representative forces of the beast race—Oil, Foot, Thorn, and Claw—all followed the Beast King's orders to garrison here.
Among them, the group representing Thorn was not a beast, but an alienated insect. The number was huge, and many were born with poison-attribute attacks.
At 6 o'clock this morning, this place was still a scene of ten thousand beasts gathering. But now, the moisture in the swamp soil was evaporated by high temperature, and there were charred insects everywhere. The smallest of these insects were the size of a fist, and the body size of the beetles was close to a sea turtle.
On the mud ground baked dry by high temperature, a tree that had turned into charcoal still barely stood. The highly poisonous split-tailed snake coiled on it had become a snake dry, roasted until only bones remained, like a charred specimen.
Looking around, the "East Marsh Defense Line" was already devastated. Everywhere the eyes could see was scorched earth, and the swamp was evaporated into dry land.
"Is this all your defensive power at the border? Too weak."
Hausman sat on a tree stump flashing sparks. In front of it was a one-armed old ape with hair all over its body charred, leaving only one arm.
"You pig-headed men, we... the beast group, will resist to the end."
The injured one-armed old ape struggled to lift its head.
"Resist to the end? Why did our Sun Fortress become an invader in your expression?"
Hausman looked down at the one-armed old ape. Even sitting down, Hausman still looked tall.
"You, are, invaders."
"Old monkey, you are really forgetful. Who ordered the beast tide to attack our fortress last night? It was your Beast King. It was you who provoked first. After only a few hours, your Beast Tribe became the invaded?
According to your statement, I slaughtered all the old and young of your clan, and you couldn't complain. Old thing, the Beast Tribe hasn't used our pig-headed men as slaves less over the years."
Although Hausman was usually silent, it didn't mean he wasn't good at talking. He was just more willing to speak less, listen more, and learn more.
Hausman learned a very critical point from Su Xiao: at any time, doing anything, even if he knew his side was in the wrong, he had to find a reason before making a move.
"Stop talking nonsense, do it."
The one-armed old ape closed its eyes. It seemed to have backbone, but it knew it was in the wrong. Regarding the pig-headed man business, the Beast Tribe had indeed been colluding in secret over the years. Facing the Wild Boar Warriors now, before making a move, it was already three points in the wrong in its heart.
With the rich experience of the one-armed old ape, it knew that the more afraid of death at this time, the faster it would die. Only by appearing to have backbone could it survive. This was the rich experience accumulated after being captured by the Kinfolk four times.
"Good!"
Hausman looked at the one-armed old ape with high regard. He took the nearly 3-meter-long nail hammer from his confidant.
After the one-armed old ape saw this scene through the slit of its eyes, it was shocked. It really didn't expect the opposite side to be so stupid.
"Wait..."
Splat!
The one-armed old ape was hammered into meat mud and broken bones. Hausman showed doubt and asked the Sun Handmaiden Mida sitting on his shoulder: "What did he say just now?"
"Nothing, maybe he felt you were a silly idiot."
"Silly idiot?"
Hausman frowned. He didn't understand what silly idiot meant. He asked: "What does silly idiot mean?"
"Represents wisdom."
"Oh, then Lord Baha is also a silly idiot."
"Uh~"
The Sun Handmaiden Mida scratched her head, suddenly realizing the seriousness of the matter. Saying Baha was a silly idiot, with the other party's temper, at most he would scold Hausman until he was bloody. But if Hausman suddenly had a brain cramp one day and said, Lord, you are a silly idiot, then...
Thinking of this situation, the Sun Handmaiden Mida shuddered. She thought she must popularize the true meaning of silly idiot to Hausman.
The Sun Legion invading the Beast Tribe territory was not just this one group of Hausman. This 200,000-scale troop was the vanguard, responsible for breaking through the enemy's defense line. Behind it, there were two other Wild Boar troops, one 100,000-strong led by Baha, and another 100,000-strong led by Amu.
According to the estimation on the Kinfolk side, Su Xiao would inevitably fight a war of attrition with the Beast Tribe. Even if the combat power on the Sun Faction side was stronger, they would fight slowly, gradually encroaching on the Beast Tribe territory, which was the safest choice.
No matter which faction, in fact, they all need enemies. Only in this way would this force not be feared by a third-party force.
The current situation was that the Sun Legion was like a sharp sword, piercing the chest of the Beast Tribe. Looking at the momentum, it was clearly to wipe out the Beast Tribe in a short time.
At noon that day, behind the Beast Tribe territory, "Great Gathering Place."
In the magnificent hall, a wide stone chair was located at the innermost part of the hall. The chair base was much higher than the ground. The Beast King on the seat lowered its eyelids.
Under the steps on the right side of the Beast King, although the Beauty Snake lowered her head, her eyes were quietly looking around. She looked at the Sand Flow and Wind Rider leaders opposite her. The two beasts that were arrogant in the past were silent at this time. The beast leaders further down didn't even dare to breathe.
From the war last night until this morning, the Beast Tribe had been hammered to the point where it could not be described as miserable, simply writing the word "miserable" on the inside of the thigh.
The "East Marsh Defense Line," known as the Iron Wall, was broken by the enemy's fierce general Hausman this morning. Starting from this, the nightmare began.
The enemy used the 200,000 Sun Legion led by Hausman as the main force, and the two-wing troops of 100,000 scale on the left and right wings as auxiliary, pushing forward all the way.
It was not that the combat power of the beasts was not good, but they could not form a defense line. There were 105 heavy tanks, and the alienated beasts could not hold them.
Once the defense line was broken, and the Wild Boar Warriors rushed into the beast group, it was over. The flame explosion smashed by the heavy hammer was the nemesis of the alienated beasts.
On this basis, the beast leaders all sincerely regretted not building city walls or developing mobile fortresses. If there were such defensive works, at least they could fight.
More importantly, after the front line collapsed, the morale of the alienated beasts was almost negative. Compared to what the Wild Boar Warriors killed, more fled, several times more than the former.
In the hall, a fluorescent blue translucent moth flew to the Beauty Snake. She blinked, and her eyelashes fluttered with it.
This was the Beauty Snake's intelligence means. In the past, this skill made the Beast King regard her as an indispensable person. But now, every time a soul butterfly flew over, it represented a piece of bad news.
The soul butterfly turned into light powder and was sucked into the Beauty Snake's mouth and nose. A moment later, she said: "King, the defense line of the Stone Forest has fallen."
As soon as this was said, the beast races below discussed in their own languages. "Stone Forest" was the second major defense line of the Beast Tribe. If the key passed the "Marsh Light Canyon" further back, the enemy would march for a distance and arrive at the Beast Tribe's largest forest city, "Great Gathering Place." Once the Great Gathering Place was destroyed, the Beast Tribe would exist in name only.
The Beast King was still silent, but its silence made the Beauty Snake, Sand Flow, Wind Rider, and the alienated beasts below feel relieved. In such a situation, the Beast King was still calm, indicating that there was a trump card in hand.
In fact, the Beast King was silent because it was speechless. It estimated that even if the Sun Legion marched at full speed and did nothing else, the marching speed from "East Marsh" to "Stone Forest" in one morning was ridiculously fast. How did that side have time to break through the defense line all the way?
Sometimes, silence does not mean calmness, but it may also be hammered into a daze.
"Go and notify the Blood Tooth Tribe, let them prepare to fight."
The Beast King spoke. Hearing this, the Beauty Snake hurriedly lowered her head again. This made the Beast King feel ominous in his heart. The giant crocodiles of the Blood Tooth Tribe had never been convinced that it became the Beast King. At such a juncture, of course, let those giant crocodiles go to the front line to sacrifice to heaven.
"King, the Blood Tooth Tribe adopted a detour tactic."
The Beauty Snake said very tactfully.
"Detour tactic?"
The Beast King looked puzzled. It became the Beast King not because of wisdom, but because it could fight.
"Their tribe leader said they want to detour from the sea and bypass to the rear of the enemy army to launch a surprise attack."
The Beauty Snake quietly blinked at the Beast King. The Beast King suddenly realized. Detour my ass, those saltwater crocodiles took this opportunity to slip away.
"Dog Fish Tribe..."
"King, they are all the same tactic."
The Beauty Snake meant, don't ask the Beast King anymore, but anyone who can swim long distances on the sea has run away at this time.
"Feather Snake, what suggestions do you have?"
The Beast King asked the Beauty Snake. The Beast King, who knew his own lack of strategy, was not dictatorial and would often take the Beauty Snake's advice.
"King, I suggest surrender."
The Beauty Snake said this very softly, for fear of being heard by the Sand Flow and other beast races.
"This..."
Although the Beast King felt that the Beauty Snake's proposal was very much to his liking, it was too shameful to surrender just like that. If he didn't surrender, the enemy had already hit "Stone Forest." If he delayed for a while and hit "Great Gathering Place," it would be even more shameful.
"This proposal is very good."
The Beast King looked at the Beauty Snake and showed a rare smile, which made the Beauty Snake suspicious in her heart.
The Sand Flow and Wind Rider on the side looked at the ground and the ceiling respectively, and were temporarily deaf. Anyway, the surrender proposal was not proposed by them. It would be best if they didn't get beaten later. The core idea of the Beast Tribe is to muddle along.
"Even if we really want to surrender, we must negotiate first. We need to send an envoy. The status of this envoy cannot be low. Why don't the four of us vote to choose?"
"Good."
"Obey the King's order."
Sand Flow and Wind Rider spoke one after another. A few seconds later, they and the Beast King looked at the Beauty Snake together.
That night, Sun Fortress top floor, main command room.
Su Xiao extinguished the cigarette between his fingers and looked at the beast envoy sitting opposite. The other party called himself Feather Snake, which was the Sea Tide Leader. Obviously, Feather Snake was not satisfied with the title of Sea Tide Leader.
The Feather Snake came this time to negotiate. Calling it a negotiation, calling it surrender was more appropriate.
The Beast Tribe surrendered so simply, which was not unexpected. The Beast Tribe didn't have a very strong force atmosphere. The Beast King could indeed forcibly control alienated beasts, but it was limited to low-level alienated beasts. Mid-level and high-level alienated beasts could ignore the mental instructions it issued.
This also caused the situation of the Beast Tribe being a plate of loose sand. After an enemy came to commit a crime, they would unite, take the Beast King as the leader, and give the enemy a heavy blow. But what if the enemy was too strong to beat? Then of course run away.
The tribes that can swim take the sea route to escape, and those that cannot swim are broken into pieces, each fleeing for their lives.
It is not difficult to beat the Beast Tribe to surrender, but it is very difficult to wipe them out. Plus, the existence of the Beast Tribe itself is part of maintaining this continent.
If they go extinct, the ecological chain that has just stabilized for more than a hundred years, who knows what changes will appear again. The last "Black Rain" has already given the most painful lesson to all intelligent races in this world.
"Respected Sun Lord, we can coexist. All this is a trap of the Kinfolk. They are cunning, despicable, and shameless!"
As soon as the Beauty Snake opened her mouth, she attacked the Kinfolk without hesitation, filled with righteous indignation.
"Continue."
Su Xiao looked at the Beauty Snake. Her anthropomorphic face had exceptionally rich expressions. He saw this kind of creature for the first time and wanted to study it a bit.
Seeming to sense Su Xiao's gaze, the Beauty Snake felt a chill in her heart. She said:
"We are willing to share one-third of the existing territory with your side."
The chips the Beauty Snake took out seemed tempting, but in fact, the territory of the Beast Tribe was not rich, and being close to them would cause all kinds of trouble later.
Why did the Kinfolk separate the "Border Area"? It was because being next to the Beast Tribe would cause all kinds of trouble. For example, planting wheat and grain, the snakes, insects, rats, and ants of the Beast Tribe all came to steal, and grazing livestock, they also came to steal.
If they steal a lot, you can go to them to settle accounts, but they dare not do so. Some are really just small beasts that are too hungry to eat some, and the loss is not as big as imagined. Because talking about this matter on the official side with the Beast Tribe is inevitably petty.
After all, that side is beasts with wisdom, and some beasts have wisdom similar to four or five-year-old children.
Because of the trouble caused by four or five-year-old children, the negotiation at the country-to-country level is inevitably ridiculous.
In general, this is a bad neighbor who cries the loudest and pretends to be the most innocent after being beaten, and cannot be wiped out, which will cause the ecological chain to tear and lead to very serious consequences.
Presumably, the Kinfolk had this bad neighbor before, and they were also extremely headache-prone, which prompted the emergence of the "Border Treaty."
Under such a premise, Su Xiao had no interest in the territory of the Beast Tribe. Even if he really wanted to seize the territory, it would be going out of the Border Area and robbing the Kinfolk side. The territory there was not only fertile but also had various resources underground.
Originally, the Beast Tribe also had resources, but after so many years, they were cheated by the Kinfolk and the Humans. Now only vast land remained. On the contrary, the Kinfolk and the Humans, because they had been cheating resources from the Beast Tribe before, did not use the resources on their own territory much.
So at this time, the Beast Tribe sent an envoy to negotiate, which was the best situation in Su Xiao's view. He was now in a legion flow state. In this state, letting soldier-type units surround and kill Overlord-tier creatures had a certain probability of not dropping treasure chests.
Legion flow is not suitable for getting benefits? Of course not, legion flow does not rely on kill rewards to get rich, but the "compensation" obtained after beating the enemy half to death.
Based on Su Xiao's rich experience in developing legion flow, after beating the enemy until they were whimpering, the benefits could be maximized.
Assuming the enemy was wiped out, the enemy would frantically destroy existing resources in despair, not leaving them to the enemy who wiped them out. So when Su Xiao chose to wipe them out, the benefits obtained were basically things that could not be destroyed.
For example, last time he wiped out the tribe through the Zerg, he finally obtained a piece of 【Fire Gold】 weighing several hundred kilograms. This was a resource that the enemy hacked for a long time and could not destroy until they were wiped out.
If the enemy was beaten half to death and the enemy saw the hope of stopping the war, the enemy would not be stingy with resources.
"One-third of the territory? My subordinate Hausman is stationed in the 'Stone Forest', which means that the Beast Tribe has nearly half of the territory occupied by my side, and you intend to use one-third of the territory to make us retreat?"
Speaking of this, Su Xiao paused, and then continued: "Can I understand that you are buying me with things I deserve?"
Hearing Su Xiao's words, the Beauty Snake opposite was silent. Seeing this situation, the Sun Priestess behind Su Xiao asked softly:
"Lord, it's getting late. What do you want for dinner? Today's dinner includes boiled snake soup, grilled tail snake, and snake meat noodles."
The Priestess was full of holy mother smiles.
"Don't eat snake, snakes are full of bones."
"Lord, it's a very big snake, the bones have been removed."
The Priestess nodded politely to the Beauty Snake opposite while speaking.
"That's fine, serve it up."
"No, Lord, the ingredients haven't..."
The Priestess looked at the Beauty Snake again, and the implication was already very obvious. Recently, her ability to be sarcastic had improved.
"Presumptuous, are you saying my guest is an ingredient?"
As soon as Su Xiao's voice fell, the Priestess hurriedly knelt beside him and lowered her head: "Lord, I was wrong, please punish me."
"If the negotiation fails, it is an ingredient. It is not yet, you are right, Ms. Feather Snake."
Su Xiao looked at the Beauty Snake opposite, and a kind smile appeared on his face.
The Beauty Snake could only smile dryly. She estimated in her heart that the man sitting opposite was not joking. If the negotiation failed today, she would likely be made into snake soup.
Su Xiao's requirements were simple and clear. He wanted four things: soul stones, essence, transcendent objects, and wild boar-like alienated beasts.
The Beauty Snake left the fortress overnight to report to the Beast King. In the second half of the night, news came from that side that the Beast King agreed to take out soul stones, essence, and transcendent objects, but firmly opposed offering the wild boar-like alienated beasts within the tribe.
The Beast King's attitude was that it could take out resources, but it must never betray its compatriots!
This news made the nine wild boar tribes within the beast faction particularly moved, and then they left the territory of the Beast Tribe overnight to come to the Sun Faction side to hug their thighs.
This was the hidden benefit of choosing wild boar-like mounts. Why was there a situation where nine wild boar tribes came to join overnight? This was because wild boar tribes and pig-headed men were somewhat related.
The Sun Legion formed by Wild Boar Warriors made the wild boar tribes very envious. Their idea was that since they couldn't beat them, they would join them. Plus, this was joining a faction with relatives, which was reasonable.
Su Xiao showed his intention to recruit, which made the nine wild boar tribes even more tempted. The Beast King's firm refusal was to maintain his own prestige as the Beast King. If he paid resources, it could be called enduring humiliation for the sake of the mission. It was not glorious to say it, but it was not hard to hear.
But if the Beast King agreed to offer the wild boar tribes, it would be selling friends for glory and would be spurned by other beasts.
The current situation could be called a win-win and capital preservation. Su Xiao's side profited, and the nine wild boar tribes that came to hug their thighs could be considered to have obtained a turning point for rise, plus following the trend.
On the Beast King's side, although a large number of alienated beasts were lost, the territory was not lost, and the position of the Beast King was preserved. This was much better than being surrounded and killed by Wild Boar Warriors.
When the sky was dawning, there were transcendent wild boars all over the mountains and plains. Some of them had bristles on their backs, and some had straight tusks.
In front of the curved floor-to-ceiling window of the main command room, Su Xiao looked down at the transcendent wild boars all over the mountains and plains. Among the nine wild boar tribes, some small tribes had members of about tens of thousands, and large tribes had members of over 200,000.
These wild boar tribes seemed to take the initiative to join, but in fact, they were forced by the situation. The leaders among them had high intelligence and knew that if they didn't do this, neither Su Xiao nor the Beast King would let go of the wild boar capture.
Plus, the transformation from pig-headed men to Wild Boar Warriors was seen by the wild boar tribes. As transcendent intelligent species, saying they were not envious would be a lie.
Su Xiao miscalculated one point. Judging from the current momentum, there was no need to cultivate combat creatures through the greenhouse, but to use the Evolution Nest to transform these transcendent wild boars into war boar mounts. This was much faster than cultivating them one by one, plus the basic quality could be guaranteed.
Creating a greenhouse was not useless. The appearance of the Alienation Greenhouse made more active tissues in the fortress. By temporarily putting the greenhouse's connective tissues to sleep and letting the Evolution Nest's connective tissues occupy the right to use more active tissues, the transformation efficiency of the Evolution Nest would increase again.
The gene samples of the "Sub-Overlord-tier creature" obtained before could bring amplification to the metamorphosis of these transcendent wild boars.
The main gate of the fortress opened, and the transcendent wild boars entered one after another. Some went up to the second floor to enter the Evolution Nest, and more went down to underground mine tunnels or the mountains of the residential area.
For a time, the fortress, underground mine wells, and residential areas all had a feeling of being filled. Fortunately, there were enough Dwarf Boar-men on his side. After receiving Su Xiao's order, they all stopped mining active ore and went to District 89 of the residential area to open up District 90, as well as District 91, etc.
Each wild boar tribe had different intentions, and some transcendent wild boars whose intelligence was not inferior to humans also had their own plans. Looking at their posture, they were clearly preparing to conquer the Sun Fortress from the inside.
Su Xiao was not worried about this. With the metamorphosis efficiency of nearly 9,000 units per hour of the Evolution Nest, it wouldn't take long for these transcendent wild boars to start praising the sun.
On the second floor of the fortress, Su Xiao was waiting here. It was 10 minutes before the first batch of war boar mounts completed metamorphosis.
It had been a while since the Wild Boar Warriors mastered "Heavy Hammer Mastery." It was time to let them master "Beast Riding Technique."
The War Lord's "Combat Skill Awakening" ability could not be superimposed infinitely. For example, the Wild Boar Warriors, after awakening Heavy Hammer Mastery, could at most awaken "Beast Riding Technique." Two awakenable skill slots were their upper limit.
Su Xiao activated the Combat Skill Awakening ability. The next second, a fist-sized source core appeared in front of him. Thousands of silk threads spread from this source core. These silk threads ignored the obstruction of the walls and entered the chest of every Wild Boar Warrior. Skill awakening began.
Every Wild Boar Warrior in the fortress and residential area felt severe pain all over their bodies. It was as if something in their bodies was consumed, but at the same time, a kind of knowledge they had never touched before appeared in their minds.
More than an hour later, all Wild Boar Warriors completed ability awakening. They were inevitably slightly weak and needed to recover for a period of time.
The "Beast Riding Technique" ability they awakened was Lv. 36. Under the bonus of the War Lord, all reached Lv. 48.
For a riding ability, a level close to Lv. 50 was quite rare. Except for veteran cavalry, few people mastered such a high-level riding ability.
The mounts hadn't finished metamorphosis, but the ability was mastered first, which made the Wild Boar Warriors eager to try.
Just at this time, the entrance of the Evolution Nest in front of Su Xiao unfolded. In the flying sparks, one war boar mount after another walked out. The sun energy in their bodies made their pupils appear dark golden.
The war boar mounts retained part of the characteristics of wild boars, but the body shape was different from wild boars. Their backs had a slight physiological arc, which ensured the stability of riding. The body size was a few circles larger than before, which was to match the height of the Wild Boar Warriors.
Su Xiao came to a war boar mount. The ends of the four legs of this war boar mount were hoof claws, which was a structure Su Xiao had never seen before.
Five blunt claws were gathered together to form a hoof to avoid burdening the soles of the feet when running long distances. When charging was needed, this kind of hoof claw would expand, turning into five sharp claws, significantly increasing the grip and running stability. After being hit by a blunt blow, it could grip the ground deeper to prevent being knocked back, etc.
On both sides of the abdomen of the war boar mounts, there were finger-thick black tentacles. Conservatively estimated, there were dozens of them. These tentacles looked a bit Cthulhu-like, but their role was great. When the Wild Boar Warriors were riding, these dozens of finger-thick tentacles would wrap around the crotch, legs, and soles of the Wild Boar Warriors.
This would make the knight and the mount completely connected together, sharing a center of gravity, avoiding the feeling of emptiness under the knight's feet, and the force was not thorough when attacking.
With these tentacles, the knight would feel more solid than stepping on a saddle. Even in the riding state, when swinging the hammer, he could borrow the ground force, letting the force be born from the soles of the feet.
All war boar mounts had dark red bristles on their backs and front backs. This was the fire-resistant characteristic they showed after having sun energy in their bodies.
Transcendent wild boars metamorphosing into war boar mounts consumed much less active ore than cultivating war boar mounts by themselves. After everything was done, Su Xiao estimated that 27,000 units of active ore could still be left.
These active ores could not be used to continue expanding the army. The Kinfolk side was not deaf or blind. His side and the Beast Tribe reconciled so quickly, and the other side's defective heavy artillery-grade weapons were not sold, which made the Kinfolk high-level officials very angry. This led to that side stopping the sale of pig-headed men to his side.
Since he couldn't supplement the troops, Su Xiao prepared to use the remaining active ores to develop heavy tanks. Conservatively estimated, 560 could be metamorphosed. Counting the existing 105, the total reached 665, which would be an astonishing charging force.
Besides this, it was estimated that 500,000 war boar mounts had to be cultivated. With such a huge quantity, elite individuals would inevitably appear among them. At that time, one kind of ability of the elite individuals could be selected through "Combat Skill Awakening," so that all war boar mounts could master this ability.
By that time, with the War Lord's bonus, sun energy in the body, plus an awakened powerful ability, the war boar mounts would not just be mounts. Their own combat power would not be weak either.
"Combat Skill Awakening" was the most powerful ability of the eight-star War Lord. With just one elite individual, the collective combat power would soar by a notch.
With the current war boar mount conversion speed, in two days, the Wild Boar Warriors could be promoted to Wild Boar Cavalry.
By that time, the Wild Boar Warriors after combat skill awakening, riding the war boar mounts after combat skill awakening, the Wild Boar Knights promoted from them, were they fourth-tier units? If so, the destructive power of hundreds of thousands of fourth-tier units seemed a bit too inhuman.
Since they were already inhuman, then among the 665 fifth-tier units · heavy tanks that his side was about to reach, Su Xiao didn't believe that an elite individual wouldn't appear among them. Once one appeared, he could let all heavy tanks master this elite ability through the "Combat Skill Awakening" ability.
Su Xiao felt this idea was feasible. But now, the more important thing was, how to let the Kinfolk side watch peacefully for two days?
Su Xiao took the communicator from Baha's claws and dialed it to Alliance Marshal He Kangdiwei.
While waiting for the connection, Su Xiao walked toward the main control room on the top floor. He returned to the main control room and just sat on the sofa when the communication was connected.
"Bai Ye, you reconciled with the Beast Tribe, causing huge losses to both our sides."
He Kangdiwei's voice was still majestic, but at this time it was also more indifferent.
"The Beast Tribe side is too poor, I can't think of anything to fight for."
Su Xiao poured boiling water into the teacup while speaking. A clear tea fragrance permeated, and after inhaling it into the nasal cavity, he felt refreshed.
"You don't fight the Beast Tribe? Could it be..."
He Kangdiwei's tone changed.
"That's right, the territory on the Human side is richer. It's the same war, I'd rather go and attack that side."
Su Xiao stabilized the Kinfolk by biding his time in the name of attacking the Humans. The blood feud between the Humans and the Kinfolk was too deep. Su Xiao proposed to attack the Human side, which was a great thing for the Kinfolk.
"It is indeed like this. The territory of the Beast Tribe is too barren, and the territory of the Humans is more suitable for the Sun Fortress."
The tone of He Kangdiwei in the communicator was already friendly. It was no wonder. If the Sun Fortress went to attack the Humans, the Kinfolk could laugh in their dreams.
"When are you going to do it?"
He Kangdiwei on the other side of the communicator was still suspicious.
"A week later."
"Good, I'll wait for
After saying this, He Kangdiwei on the other end of the communicator hung up.
Su Xiao placed the communicator in his hand onto the coffee table. As for this "old friend" He Kangdiwei, how could he let the other party wait for a week? In two days at most, he would bring an army of 500,000 to "greet" him.
