Chapter 450 War Profits
Except for the Kingdom of Skarn, the other neighboring countries that the Dark Night Empire "aided" also consciously assigned the territories that the Dark Night Empire army had seized from the undead to the Dark Night Empire.
In a sense, this sudden undead disaster not only did not cause much trouble to the Night Elves, but instead expanded the territory of the Dark Night Empire by more than half.
There was no way, the surrounding human neighboring countries were really disappointing. The fact that one-third of the territory of the Kingdom of Skarn was occupied by the undead was already the best. One kingdom even had its capital captured, leaving only one-quarter of the territory to maintain the existence of the kingdom.
Several kingdoms ceded as little as one-third and as much as three-quarters of their territory to the Dark Night Empire, which naturally expanded the territory of the Dark Night Empire a lot.
To be honest, Yu Fei felt that he could not be considered taking advantage of someone's misfortune. Just as King Skarn thought, the territories occupied by the undead were often left with only ruins, and almost all the citizens were killed and turned into skeletons. What was the use of taking them back?
Not to mention how much resources would be consumed to rebuild so many cities, even if the cities were rebuilt, there would be no extra people to fill them.
The Dark Night Empire was different. Because of Tyrande's decisive handling, the Dark Night Empire had cleared out the undead in its territory early on, and did not let them harm the citizens of the Dark Night Empire at all. On the contrary, there were many more people who fled from other places in the Dark Night Empire.
Compared with those human neighbors, the Dark Night Empire is now extremely rich in both resources and population. It can be said that there is no pressure to digest the newly acquired territory.
What's more, the expansion of the Dark Night Empire is not about how many cities it occupies, but how many more magic crystal mines and gold mines there are in the occupied territory, and how much more energy it can obtain.
Although the Night Elves are no longer worried about energy, now there is another Blood Elves who need energy, so the more the better.
After ceding a lot of territory from several neighboring countries, Yu Fei even thought about whether to let the Dark Night Empire's troops wander around again, help other human countries, and then expand their territory according to the rules.
But after thinking it over again and again, he finally gave up this extremely tempting idea. Although the undead disaster is huge and has brought great trauma to the human world, it seems that it will not be able to destroy too many human kingdoms in the end, let alone the empire.
The main power of the human world is still concentrated in the three empires and those top kingdoms. For the rest, whether it is a weak kingdom or a large number of principalities and states, it doesn't matter if they are destroyed. Don't you see that even without the undead disaster, almost every year in the human world, old states and principalities are destroyed, and new small countries are established?
Now the undead forces are in full swing, but it is not only the Dark Night Empire that is taking action. The three major human empires have also freed up their hands and started to help other human countries to eliminate the undead troops. It will not take long before the undead disaster will be suppressed. I just don't know how far those undead mages can go in the end.
When the human world stabilizes, they will find that the Dark Night Empire has taken over a large amount of territory belonging to human countries while the Scourge of Undead is taking over. They will definitely have different thoughts.
It is very likely that the Dark Night Empire will become the target of public criticism. Although with the strength of the Night Elves, there is no need to be afraid even if the forces of the entire human world are integrated, but Yu Fei does not want to start the final battle with humans so soon.
Firstly, what he is mainly doing now is to develop the Blood Elves in the Demon Realm and find the Heart of Darkness; secondly, the appearance of the Undead also makes Yu Fei alert and has to make more considerations.
If the Undead and the Night Elves have conflicts, then human forces can be used. Yu Fei is almost certain that the Scourge of Undead in the world of Eslazer must be driven by the Undead.
Not because of anything else, but because the Undead Mages once summoned ghouls and gargoyles when fighting the Night Elves. These two types of undead creatures have never appeared in the world of Eslazer, and only the Undead have them.
If Yu Fei had not discovered a gathering place of necromancers when clearing out several human neighboring countries, he would not have seen these two familiar types of soldiers. Although it is unknown how these two types of soldiers were controlled by those necromancers who were obviously not undead, this did not prevent Yu Fei from linking the Scourge of the Undead with the Undead.
All human countries should be extremely angry about the emergence of the Scourge of the Undead. If the Undead and the Night Elves conflict, and then Yu Fei spreads the news that the Scourge of the Undead was initiated by the Undead, then the human countries will definitely be happy to take revenge.
After occupying the territories cut from several human neighboring countries, the elves began to look for magic crystal mines and gold mines in a familiar way, and then handed them over to the underground dwarves for development. The underground dwarves were the first of the three subspecies of the dwarves to surrender to the Night Elves, and now they have replaced the elves in collecting minerals.
There is no way around it. The elves must have the Tree of Life nearby to collect energy mines and be entangled with minerals before they can mine. If we use underground dwarves, there will be no such restrictions.
Of course, when it comes to gathering wood resources, elves are irreplaceable. Among the four races in Warcraft, only the night elves will not worry about the difficulty of obtaining wood after cutting down the surrounding trees, because the elves will not cause damage to the trees when collecting wood.
Although he did not plan to occupy more territory, this did not mean that Yu Fei would not make another war fortune by taking advantage of the undead disaster.
For now, the natural disaster of the undead is still in full swing, and humans and the undead are fighting at an even pace. In this anxious situation, humans would not mind spending a lot of money to buy a large number of enchanted equipment, right?
That's right, Yu Fei is planning to sell some of the equipment exchanged in the Hunter Hall to human countries. This time, it was not sold secretly through the pirate and his O'Brien leader, but directly under the name of the Dark Night Empire.
In order not to expose the relationship between the night elves, the Shadow Kingdom and the O'Brien Territory, Yu Fei also took great pains to change the style of the equipment currently produced in the Hunter Hall.
In addition, the equipment he exchanged for were the worst equipment in the hunter's hall, which only had a small increase in attack or defense attributes, and could be regarded as enchanted equipment. Of course, poor quality means huge quantities.
In terms of equipment sales, Yu Fei left it to the local elves to run it. Although a large part of the night elves have been upgraded to the elite level and have good intelligence, they still don't know much about the world and are still not suitable for things like diplomacy and trade. As for those heroes, it's a complete waste to do this kind of thing.
It did not surprise Yu Fei. Even though the Dark Night Empire raised the prices of batches of enchanted equipment very high, various human countries still followed suit.
Enchanted equipment is often something only officers and nobles possess. There is no army in the human race that is all equipped with enchanted equipment - except for the palace guards of the three major empires.
Although the Dark Night Empire has raised the prices very high, there are no shops like this in this village for large quantities of standard enchanted equipment. There are many countries that choose to buy them at high prices. In fact, the three major empires couldn't help but buy some.
Yu Fei naturally had some considerations about selling these equipment. For every piece of equipment sold, the night elves can exchange for energy enough to exchange for ten pieces in the hunter's hall. It would be a shame not to use these ten times huge profits.
As for whether it would become an enemy, Yu Fei was originally doubtful, but after carefully checking the instructions on equipment exchange in the hunter's hall, he felt relieved.
Although the equipment sold to humans cannot be directly destroyed by the control of the night elves, the attributes attached to it have no effect when facing creatures controlled by Yu Fei.
In other words, if the human army wears the equipment purchased from the night elves to fight against the night elves, then these equipment will be the same as none. In this way, there is no need to worry that the equipment sold will cause harm to the night elves themselves in the future.
After eliminating all kinds of concerns, the Dark Night Empire began to sell a large number of the lowest-level equipment in the hunter hall in exchange for countless magic crystals. In name, this is because the Dark Night Empire cannot bear to see humans being bullied by the undead, and it is a righteous act to actively support the human country.
It can be said that this undead natural disaster not only expanded the territory of the Dark Night Empire a lot, but also made a huge amount of war money. It also earned a greater positive reputation than sealing the "alien space".
Of course, although he was very happy with the war fortune, Yu Fei had to consider the issue of the undead.
Unexpectedly, I just learned about the existence of the undead in the demon world. I wanted to find a way to contact them, but I found that the undead were causing trouble in the world of Eslaze. Perhaps this is a good time to contact the undead.
In the demon world, because he was worried that the changes in the blood elves would be exposed to the undead, Yu Fei just made an imperfect plan for Illidan to contact some undead secretly. But the world of Eslaze can be said to be the home of the night elves, and Yu Fei is not worried about the existence of the night elves being known to the undead.
What's more, since the undead have launched the undead natural disaster through the local necromancers in Eslaze, they must have also learned some news about the night elves and the dark night empire. In this case, it doesn't matter whether it is exposed or not.
However, how to find the contact information of the undead controller is a big problem.
