Chapter 537: Decision, Consensus, Mutual Killing

The retreating lords and their armies gathered on the land into a long stream, flowing from their original control area to other areas.

"But fortunately there is a temporary defense line here. If there is no temporary defense line, we will be in trouble... We should be safe here."

It is a blessing in disguise that they were not killed.

Elf lord Li Xiang sighed and looked at the man next to him with dark circles under his eyes, who didn't know whether he stayed up late or practiced necromancy.

"Brother Huixia, let's lean on each other when the time comes. We all come from the same area."

The huge island floating in the sky is used as the boundary to divide the eastern and western defense lines belonging to the lords.

Everyone knows the truth that the lips and teeth are cold.

They have history, and historical experience has told them countless times that they must cooperate in the face of enemies...

Cooperate...

Cooperate?

——————

"We have recruited more than 300 lords from the fourth era. Should we consider how to place them? I have calculated that the resource space is not enough... Should we negotiate with the Western Front..."

The female lord holding paper materials walked into the temporary meeting hall on the Eastern Front. As one of the very few female lords, she seemed a little special.

The lords who might have been fighting a month ago were now sitting at a long table, arguing fiercely over a map hanging on the wall.

The atmosphere of the discussion with a strong smell of gunpowder was interrupted by the female lord who pushed open the door.

Until a lord in full armor looked at the female lord standing at the door in simple clothes.

"Place? Negotiate?"

That look was as if she had asked a very stupid question.

"There are more important things."

The gaze turned to her was cold and firm, and there was a hint of cruelty.

"Resources."

————

"Not enough resources."

The human lord Gao Yu, who was standing parallel to the other side, joined the topic of Li Xiang and Hui Xia. He held a map in his hand, which was the reward he got from the copy.

It can fully record the geological information of the areas where his army has traveled, and will add details as the times progress.

Although he lost three thousand-man teams, he has not lost the ability to think.

"I have seen this line of defense. There are hundreds of lords who have retreated. The resources produced in this narrow area of ​​370 kilometers on the eastern line of defense are not enough to sustain so many lords."

He took out his map and showed it to the other two people.

Elf Lord: "No matter how much we save, it is not enough. The existing space and resources are not enough to accommodate so many of our lords."

The Undead Lord paused: "If a battle breaks out, I can still survive by picking up bones... Well, don't look at me like that, I survive by picking up garbage..."

————

Her eyes fell on the map on the wall behind her, which occupied an entire wall.

Most of the eastern line of defense came from the inheritance of Eastern civilizations with the same or similar ideologies. They quickly reached a consensus to deal with the external enemies first and then fight each other.

Internal fighting is okay, but if they unite to kill the enemy first...they can get more resources.

How much they can get depends on their ability.

The greatest common divisor under interests, a consensus reached in order to gain more interests.

And they also have the advantages of quantity and quality.

In this way, all the lords of other civilization systems born in the eastern part of the continental world were cleared out in the slow war, leaving only the lords of the Eastern civilization system.

The remaining lords were slowly adjusted by the system to rebirth on the other side, so that they would not be surrounded and beaten by a group of people at birth, and then reborn.

It's not that there are no enemies, but the enemies have been killed.

The offensive fronts are not directed at the Crusaders' base... but at the Western Defense Line located on the Eastern Defense Line.

The sharp knife from the rear will directly pierce the heart of the Western Defense Line and then dismantle them.

Now these lords from the East are ready to use this opportunity to complete their final work.

"We have made a decision."

The system only gave these lords a platform for communication, giving them the opportunity to discuss here.

The Eastern lords gathered here only took half an hour to confirm their goals.

Shape and maintain a greatest common divisor.

Then build this world.

The resources that can be obtained from construction and development are far more than those from war. No one can refuse the opportunity to build a safe city in another world.

And to achieve this goal, only a simple consensus is needed, a consensus based on interests.

The female lord paused: "This... but there is no army..."

She knew that these lords would not let the troops leave their main base in this world at ease. If something unexpected happened at that time, it would be too late to return to help.

The main lords of the eastern defense line will only send a part of the troops.

Can the coalition forces that are wary of each other really defeat the scattered western defense line? In other words, can they break through the western defense line before the Crusaders react?

Although the western defense line is composed of the lords who were driven away, the number of these lords is even greater than that of the lords who controlled the east.

It's just not united.

————

The three looked at each other, and a definite answer appeared in their hearts.

'War'

The undead lord Huixia asked: "To us?"

‘No, we are lords who have lost most of their resources. The resources have been transferred back to the territory... This little resource will not allow them to take risks. ’

Elf Lord Li Xiang asked: "To the Crusaders?"

'No, they haven't figured out the strength of the Crusaders, they haven't figured out their background... There is no point in using the coalition forces that have not yet been integrated to hedge against them. ’

"They need an opponent who is confirmed to be stable and can be dealt with by us."

The Western Defense Line on the west side of the map is the best target.

Elf Lord Li Xiang shrugged: "At least now we know that they are not being nice to us for no reason. Then I feel more relieved. If they don't want anything... that would be troublesome."

The undead lord Hui Xia knocked on his death horse: "As long as there are corpses, I don't care."

————

"Of course we have the military, and we have the population that can control the areas they're in."

For a group of lords who have retreated from the front line, we will provide them with resources and technical equipment.

The armored lord pressed on the table and tapped it.

The other eastern lords standing in the shadows began to continue discussing the direction of the attack. They marked on the paper the heavy fortresses that were difficult to attack and needed to be bypassed.

‘Perhaps we should ask the retreating lords about the Crusaders’ methods of siege. ’; ‘There are no supplies here, and there are rivers... During the flood season... we cannot attack from this direction. '; 'Is one month enough preparation time...Has the training plan been prepared...'

They discussed in low voices.

The female lord hesitated for a moment: "We shouldn't consider uniting with them first...after all, the threat is right in front of us."

"We will not pin our hopes for survival and development on the morality of others."

Another Eastern lord standing in the corner said with his arms crossed.

"We waited for them for a month and they proved they couldn't get it together... You know what they do now?"

The female lord shook her head.

"They have indeed united and formed a new large-scale knighthood. There are now five large-scale knighthoods and three chieftains fighting on the western defense line..."

And then wait to be defeated one by one by the enemy?

They couldn't organize a decent defense.

If they can't seize this opportunity to unite, then let us.

"Standard Mining is willing to provide at least one thousand tons of explosives per month for our operations. They will use their transport ships to help us deliver the explosives to the front line and allow us to delay the payment of resources."

A transaction.

"The Island-Ring Alliance is willing to provide us with a large number of special monster infantry from the fifth era, allowing us to use these expendable troops in frontline battles. It also allows us to delay the payment of resources... It just so happens that we also need to exercise the cooperation ability between various lords. ”

A test.

"Before they were united, before they were a piece of sand...this continent had a chance to be whole."

Humility is not a virtue.

Eliminating the threat is.
