Chapter 278 The Future Is Bright

"The enemies organized a large-scale army and entered the Underdark Region for an expedition. The daily supply pressure was very high."

Luo Feng explained patiently: "The enemy cannot resupply on the spot in the Dark Area. If they use traditional supply methods and establish supply lines, we only need to blow up the tunnels and caves to cut off the enemy's transportation channels.

If magic portals and space bags are used to allow high-level mages to take on the supply work, the instability of the portals may cause the mage responsible for important supply tasks and the dimensional bag he carries containing a huge amount of supplies to get lost in a different dimension. , every supply is like a lottery, and the loss is something they cannot afford. "

Drizzt nodded slowly, agreeing with Bradero's statement.

If it were not for deep wells, water-lifting steam engines and mushroom greenhouses, the food production in the Dark Region would be difficult to support a large enough population. Except for the Luoshi Village base area and the surrounding villages of other ethnic groups that have gradually been reddened, the rest of the Dark Region is very barren.

The surface troops entering the Underdark Region simply cannot obtain supplies locally.

"The dark and humid underground environment will seriously affect the morale and health of the soldiers, and the supplies cannot keep up. If the enemy troops are stationed in the dark area for one more day, they will be weakened a little more."

Luo Feng continued: "We don't need to defeat the enemy, nor do we have to defend the base area. Once we master the technology of exploring water sources and growing mushrooms, the people in the base area can quickly rebuild their homes wherever they move. There are dimensional bags With the help, our transfer has become much easier, and the machinery and equipment in the arsenal can be quickly stored and taken away."

Drizzt nodded clearly and said: "Yes, we don't need to fight in the early stage. We try to preserve our strength and hide and seek with the enemy in the dark area."

"If the enemy army is dragged by us in the Dark Area, it will consume a lot of military food and military supplies every day. Where will the surface countries collect these food and gold coins?"

Luo Feng asked with a smile.

"Every surface country has a certain accumulation, but Faerûn's backward production technology and grain storage technology determine that there will not be too much grain stored in the grain warehouse." Drizzt thought and said, "Those lords and Once the king has exhausted the stocks of his treasury and granary, he can only plunder it from the people!”

"The Underdark Expedition will only intensify the tyranny of the surface countries, and the people will be oppressed day by day. How long can they endure it?"

Luo Feng said with a cold face: "If there is no correct theoretical guidance and no one to point out the direction for them, even if they are oppressed to the point of cutting off their own flesh to pay the war tax to the lord, they have to continue to endure it. Because even if they can't help but riot to resist the tax , the ending is just a dead end.”

Luo Feng turned around and looked in the direction of the dock. Citizens who had escaped under the cover of the guerrillas were swarming onto the boat.

"I hesitated before planning this operation, but after repeated weighing, I decided to implement it."

Luo Feng looked solemn, pointed at the people on board the ship, and said to Drizzt in a deep voice: "The risk is very high, and it also exposed our strength, arousing the vigilance of the surface countries and even the gods. It may be for the newly built The base area will be destroyed. But..."

Having said this, Luo Feng paused for a moment before continuing: "But being able to save these people is of great significance, and it is related to whether we can form a spark to start a prairie fire in the future."

Drizzt pondered: "Is it because saving them can inspire people and show that we will not abandon any people who fight for freedom and change their destiny?"

"This is one reason." Luo Feng nodded: "There is another more realistic reason - we need to cultivate the red priests of the surface race, and we also need the surface race to change the ethnic composition of the Dark Region base.

The vast majority of the people in the base area of ​​the Underdark are gray dwarves, with some goblins, deep gnomes, kobolds, and a very small number of kuo-toa fish. These underground races cannot walk under the sun and will be killed or captured as soon as they enter surface cities. "

Drizzt nodded suddenly. As Bredlow said, the base area in the Underdark is full of intelligent creatures that are regarded as monsters and evil races by the people on the surface. When they reach the surface world, they will definitely die in the face of light.

"We need human priests who can walk freely on the surface, spread faith on the surface, influence more people, guide more people, and make more oppressed people awaken."

Luo Feng continued: "After the enemy enters the Dark Territory to encircle and suppress us, but is dragged back by us, the oppression of the people by the surface countries will gradually intensify. The oppressed people urgently need a method that can change their fate of forever enduring oppression. Faith. In this case, human priests will spread the truth, and more and more of our people will come.”

Drizzt agreed with what Bradero said, but he also felt uncomfortable with his extremely realistic and cold plan, which almost took advantage of the Amn uprising.

"Planning such an operation is also to train guerrillas and at the same time let you learn urban combat tactics."

Luo Feng didn't care what Drizzt thought of him, and kept talking: "In the future, under the influence of our human priests, more oppressed surface countries will break out in uprisings, and the guerrillas will carry out more such attacks. Cover the mass evacuation operations and evacuate the people who cannot bear the oppression to the dark areas, so that they can join us and strengthen our comrade team."

"The enemy is encircling us, we use this method to retaliate against them." Luo Feng said with a sneer: "Let's see if they kill faster or our team grows faster. They will lose the support of the people and thus lose the people, but we will win win the hearts and minds of the people.”

Luo Feng patted Drizzt on the shoulder and said, "That's why I said: People are the key to whether we can continue to fight.

As for weapons and ammunition, there is no need to worry about this at all. Our purpose is to develop productivity. The more people join us, the more complete their minds will be emancipated, and the more advanced science and technology will be, the faster our productivity will increase.

Maybe now our arsenal can only produce enough weapons and ammunition for an hour for us, but in the future more machinery will be used in production, and more people will be trained to become professional workers. Our arsenal will produce weapons and ammunition for a few months, which will be enough. We play like this all year long! "

Drizzt nodded solemnly.

"But the darkness before dawn is the hardest."

Luo Feng changed the subject and sighed: "The enemy will definitely not give us time to develop, and must be determined to nip us in the seedling stage. It is difficult to say whether the base area can survive the first round of encirclement and suppression."
