Chapter 650 Humanity strikes back
"You may have misunderstood something. This plant can be mass-produced. Even tens of thousands of these plants are more than enough. As long as there is enough space for me to grow them. And there is enough infrastructure construction, large ponds for these peas to land safely. I can mass-produce these peas, and even other foods."
After hearing that there can be tens of thousands of such things, even as the king of a kingdom, he couldn't help but be moved. When the country is facing a crisis of survival, it is natural that so many things cannot be considered.
As for whether the other party has taken this opportunity to control the empire, this aspect can only be considered after the empire can survive. Now all the fertile fields in the country have been burned clean by the attacking soul beasts. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no harvest. If you want to survive this year, these food sources must be.
More importantly, it is very likely that the country will have to rely on this food source to maintain its existence next year or even in the distant future.
The soul beasts have become more despicable and shameless than before, and they are more unscrupulous. If they can burn once, they can burn twice. It has become unrealistic to rely on planting to feed a large number of people. The reason is very simple. It is impossible for humans to send enough forces to guard the vast fields, and setting fires is much easier than extinguishing fires. In the future, arson may not be like this. The soul beasts with skins set out, but from time to time, soul beasts with the cooperation of soul beasts with stealth ability will sneak into the fertile fields of humans to set fires.
Even if you can rely on your brain advantage to come up with various ways to deal with these arsonists. But there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days.
There may not be much left after a year's harvest. People must eat, and this cannot be changed. And if you want to maintain the existence of the country, you must maintain an area where food can be produced.
So far, the problem of the empire has been temporarily solved, and you can rely on the help of the warriors of light in front of you, but you must think of other ways in the future.
The emperor of the Behemoth Kingdom has begun to think about whether to build the city wall outside the farmland, surround all his farmland, and as much as possible in the farmland. Build water conservancy facilities to make firefighting easier.
Although it is very difficult to resist the fires set by soul beasts everywhere, it is not impossible to think of ideas if you really want to.
For example, the farmland in various places can be divided into regions. Deep trenches can be dug between different farmlands as fire-proof isolation zones, and weeding can be done inside these trenches every year to ensure that only one farmland will be affected after the fire is ignited.
If possible, fill these deep trenches with water, so that even if soul beasts set fire to the fields, there is still room for rescue. It is possible to put out the fire in time to reduce some losses.
In addition, the most costly method is to enclose the fields with city walls, and then station people on the city walls to prevent soul beasts from invading.
This is the most difficult and requires a large number of people, but when the empire is in a crisis of survival, it is theoretically possible to sign these people.
In addition, the only way is to send troops into the soul beast forest and completely eradicate the soul beast forest.
Humans and the soul beasts on this continent are already in a state of life and death. After the soul beasts used the method of setting fire to the mountains, humans could no longer live in relative harmony with the soul beasts. One side must fall completely.
And destroying the forest is the simplest and most direct means. Soul beasts always have their own living areas. If there is no forest, they will lose their own breeding and habitat areas. Soul beasts will sooner or later become completely extinct.
For things like forests, setting fire is not very effective. But it does not mean that there is no effect. Although there are many soul beasts in the forest that are good at using water. But not every forest has one. Setting fire to a few hundred meters is still possible, and setting fire is very easy for humans. There are very few soul beast medicines that have the ability to set fires. Only soul beasts with fire attributes can do it.
Other soul beasts are not smart enough or are born with a fear of fire. It is difficult to use fire conveniently. But humans are different. Not to mention adults, even human cubs can master the use of fire after a short period of training. If we really want to set fire to the mountain, the destructive power caused by humans is not bad at all. Even if we encounter a water-attributed soul beast, the area where it can extinguish the fire is limited. At most, it will bypass the area where it is located. Burn all the places that it cannot control into a white land. At that time, only his piece of forest will be left. Without the surrounding ecological environment that can cooperate with him, this small piece of forest like an isolated island will sooner or later wither completely.
In fact, humans have already begun to destroy the forest in this way. In addition, they have also begun to mine various minerals. Although the chemical industry has not developed in this era, they still know which minerals are fatal to plants. For example, when burning fiercely in the mountains, if the powder obtained in the end is sprinkled on plants, it will have a very good destructive effect.
In the area where these things are sprinkled, no plants will grow for a long time, and they will heat up violently when encountering water.
This is also the nemesis of water-attributed soul beasts. In fact, it is quicklime. Humans on this continent discovered very early that quicklime can easily capture water-attributed soul beasts. Even ordinary people can bring such a bag of lime powder. As long as they can splash it on the body of water-attributed soul beasts, they can basically make the opponent lose their combat effectiveness. Of course, if they reach the ten thousand year level, they still have a considerable degree of resistance to this kind of thing, but if it is contaminated on the body, it will also weaken the combat effectiveness to a considerable extent.
The army of the Giant Beast Kingdom carries a large amount of lime powder. When encountering a water-attributed soul beast to extinguish the fire, soul masters will lead elite warriors into the forest and carry these lime powders to kill water-attributed soul beasts.
As long as these quicklimes are sprinkled on their bodies, the soul beasts of water attributes will be scalded by these things that heat up when they come into contact with water. Then they die tragically.
In this situation, only those soul beasts that are strong enough and not afraid of fire can survive.
The soul beasts who are in charge of the strategy in the rear have guessed what happened. However, the destructive power of humans is still underestimated. I thought that ordinary people who might not be able to defeat those ten-year soul beasts could only do so much to destroy the forest, but now it seems that if these people have good weapons and equipment and cooperate with each other, even thousand-year soul beasts can be killed by them if they are not careful.
Although they are very fragile, a 100,000-year soul beast can kill thousands of them with powerful skills, but if this continues, the forest may be in big trouble.
However, the soul beasts who have long anticipated this possibility are not worried. The counterattack that humans can make is limited. With the domestic grain harvest already complete, this is the last madness of humans. After this year, there should be famine among humans, and there will be large-scale starvation deaths due to civil war. At that time, there will be no time to fight soul beasts.
If it is normal, this kind of thing will indeed happen, but the reality is that all parts of the Kingdom of Giant Beasts have begun to build ponds quickly, and then planted a large number of peas, shooters, corn pitchers and the like around the ponds, throwing the weapons they can throw into the ponds.
Under normal circumstances, these things are poisonous, but whether the plants are poisonous or not can be controlled. Although the first skill gives him the ability to give plants poison, he can also remove this ability. Therefore, the plants thrown into the pond can be fished out and used.
In terms of food types, it can even be considered relatively rich. Except for the lack of meat, it can basically meet the needs of most people.
Moreover, the civilians in this world rarely eat meat. Under normal circumstances, the frequency of their meat consumption is basically the same as when there is no famine. Probably only the nobles will feel that their food level has declined due to famine.
Human destruction of forests will be continuous. Famine will not come in a short time. The situation in this regard is simply unpredictable. After all, no one knows what other skills the Warrior of Light has besides the ability to summon light. Each Warrior of Light is different. He happened to encounter a person who can produce a large amount of food here, and he can only count it as bad luck.
While the Kingdom of Giant Beasts began to destroy the forest in an organized manner, the king once again invited the Warrior of Light and made his request to him.
"Now the soul beasts are ready to fight us to the death. They have begun to burn our fertile fields to force humans to die. If we still passively defend and do not resist at this time, they will continue to advance in the future, and the living space of humans will really become smaller and smaller.
This is a war between races. If we take a step back, the enemy will take two steps forward. So I hope that the Warrior of Light can participate in the frontal attack on the soul beasts. In fact, the ability of the Warrior of Light is more suitable for attacking than for defense.
The continuous attack ability has an unparalleled excellent effect in destroying forests.
Even if the most powerful water soul beasts are under the focus of light, it is impossible to protect the forest where they are from being burned. No one is more suitable for this task than the Warrior of Light."
Lan Nuo did not expect that the emperor of the Behemoth Kingdom would come up with such an idea. But if you think about it carefully, focusing sunlight from space to attack is indeed the most suitable way to destroy the forest. A large range of sunlight focused in a small space can create extremely high temperatures. And this kind of focusing consumes almost no energy. It can be released continuously, which means that even if a powerful soul beast temporarily resists the high temperature burning, it is impossible to continue to resist such a strong light. In the end, it will either escape or be burned to ashes together with the forest.
There is nothing that can stop his destruction. And the existence on the ground cannot attack things in space. Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that he was leading the construction of the Sun and Moon Empire in space. Perhaps it is to send the soul beasts to the grave of history.
Even if there are top-level strong ones among the soul beasts who can be exempted from this attack, the forest they live in has been strangled by humans, and there is such a blow. Even if there is a soul beast forest, no matter how strong its vitality is, it will not be spared.
"This matter is of great importance. I must ask my superiors before I know whether I can participate in this attack. After all, this involves completely breaking the balance of a continent. I need some time and independent space."
The status of the Warrior of Light on this new continent is already quite high. The emperor naturally understands his approach and asks all those who are monitoring him to evacuate. The Warrior of Light has a higher level of existence, which the king has already anticipated. After all, as long as there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It is impossible that everyone is an equal Warrior of Light. Maybe there is a God of Light or something?
After connecting with the Sun and Moon Empire through a long-distance radio to complete the communication, Lan Nuo also received a reply from the Sun and Moon Empire.
"You can destroy the forest, but don't do it too much. The soul beast resources on this continent are extremely important to us. Before our fleet can transport a large number of people to this continent, we must at least ensure that the soul beasts on this continent do not become extinct in large numbers. However, it is still necessary to use our power to deter the soul beasts and preserve the living forces on this continent as much as possible to facilitate our development and colonization of the new continent.
Other warriors of light in the new continent will also be notified later. Well, it should be said that astronauts are used to following those guys in the new continent.
In short, you can prepare for battle. After calibrating the coordinates on the ground, the space The light in it will lock the coordinates. In fact, you don't need to ask the superiors for this question. No, you already have your own private light sail. You are free to use those things as you like. In theory, we will not stop you from using them to attack the army of the Sun-Moon Empire, because they belong to you. We will not regret sending them out, but if you attack the army of the Sun-Moon Empire, you will definitely have to bear the rest of the cost. As long as you can be responsible for the consequences of your actions, you can use the resources in your space in any way. "
