Chapter 428: Chapter 255 The Third n_1
“This is a tough situation.” A group of people were sitting in a circle, listening to Anthony’s analysis: “If only the Church’s forces are mobilized, it will be easy for us. But if they mobilize the Seth Empire and the Capricorn Empire, we will not stand a chance.”
“Why is that? We are thousands of kilometers deep into the desert, and even if the enemy has enormous forces, it wouldn’t be easy for them to reach us. And we can ask for help from the elves,” Lisa expressed her skepticism.
Anthony chuckled, not responding directly, but self-consciously: “The Master ne is the human ne…”
The Master ne, is the human ne. In the ne Safety Committee with seven seats, humans upy four seats.
Elves hide in the forests, dwarves stay underground, the Dragon n traveled far across the sea, why do humans upy the most fertilends?
Could it be that other species are too kind, willingly giving up the fertilend and hiding in cold and barren ces suffering?N?v(el)B\\jnn
Perhaps only elves think this way, because they are more adaptable to forests and have the protection of the God of Life. However, for dwarves and the Dragon n, this is ridiculous.
Compared to poption, other speciesbined cannot even reach one-tenth of the human race. In terms of production capabilities, they do not even have one percent of what humans have. In terms of organizational structures, humans are generations ahead.
The Republic of Steris has already embraced republican governance, but elves and dwarfs are still primordial tribes, and the Dragon n is not even a tribe, just a big family.
The only weakness of humans is theirck of unity. There are dozens ofrge and small nations in the Master ne, and if those small city-states are also counted, the number reaches hundreds.
These nations do not live peacefully with each other. Some are even arch-enemies, and battles are frequent among them.<div>
Thest time an empire met its downfall happened between the arch-enemies—the Tiwan Empire and the Seth Empire. It resulted in the deaths of millions, discement of ten millions, and theplete disappearance of the ten-million-poption Tiwan Empire from history.
Theck of unity sometimes make humans seem less powerful than elves. The two recent elven movements has caused panic among humans, fearing that they might start a war.
However, it is only a general situation. If the elves really instigate a war, humans will unite, and their momentum will bepletely different.
On the whole ne, the only one worthy of uniting all humans…or at least more than half of the human race, is Guliani.
“If Guliani mobilizes human nations, let me tell you how they would fight this war. Firstly, an economic blockade,” said Anthony.
“Cutting off the economic rtions between the Goddess of Beauty City and the outside world, blocking the transportation of goods, food trade and so on, sealing off the entire desert,” Anthony continued.
Thinking of the Goddess of Beauty City not providing beauty services, Lisa felt anxious: “What’s the point? We don’t eat food, so what good would a blockade do?”
“You don’t require food and daily necessities, but what about the citizens who live in the desert and the Fallen People? Half a year blockade will result in mass starvation,” Anthony responded.
Ange suddenly raised his hand: “I can provide, no one will starve.”
“Oh, I forgot, as long as you’re here, indeed there wouldn’t be starvation. But the blockade will still continue, aiming to prevent various supplies from being delivered, such as copper, iron, Demon Crystals, etc. They will blockade for half a year and then block off the river,” Anthony said.
Negris gasped: “You are so ruthless…”
The two rivers flowing into Fallen Dragon Lake are all freshwater rivers originating outside of the desert. They’re the main sources of freshwater for Fallen Dragon Lake. If they’re blocked, the people in the Goddess of Beauty City will soon have no water to drink.
Compared with food, fresh water is obviously more important.
“We have Fengshui Towers. If we build some more, we should be able to solve the problem of freshwater,” Lisa thought seriously and said.
“Fengshui Tower? What’s that?” Anthony had never seen a Fengshui Tower. Even if he had, he wouldn’t understand its precise parameters, so Negris had to exin.
After understanding the purpose of the Fengshui Tower, Anthony eximed: “This is a remarkable invention! It’s not only useful in the desert but also on ships. If we install one on a ship, we wouldn’t have to worry about the freshwater problem when sailing. It can also be used in the desert in the south. Any ce that has sufficient humidity butcks surface water can make use of it.”
After a pause, Anthony continued: “But it’s useless, because the third step will address the issue of humidity in the wind. I would send arge number of wizards to the monsoonal sources bringing in the humidity, and drain the moisture from the wind, because even without the Fengshui Tower, ordinary wizards can also condense moisture. So, I would tackle the problem starting from the source.”
“Drain the moisture out of the wind? How is that possible?” Everyone was astounded by this unimaginable n.
“It’s easy to achieve, just find ten thousand wizards. You don’t need very powerful ones, third or fourth-level ones are sufficient,” Anthony said nonchntly.<div>
“Ten thousand? And it’s easy?” Negris eximed, as if Anthony was joking with him.
However, Anthony nodded seriously: “Yes, it’s easy. When humans mobilize, they can deploy thousands of wizards. The Seth Royal Magic Academy has four thousand students and there are thousands of Magic Academies in the Seth Empire, at least over ten. The Capricorn Empire has less but still seven or eight.”
“And there’s an even scarier organization – the Magic Guild. As long as the price is right, the Magic Guild can organize over twenty thousand wizards in seven days. That’s why I said, when humans mobilize, we don’t stand a chance.”
