“Ashan is really an unscientific world.”
It seems that I have become accustomed to the "retreat" like Yue Yulou. Although it was nearly half a month ago when we met last time, Zhang Qiming seemed to have returned to his previous appearance and spoke so without any scruples. Although this was a fairly formal meeting, even Isido, who rarely participated in such a meeting, appeared in the hall, although he seemed a little depressed at this time...
Take a look at it, Isido rarely participates in such a key meeting. It was not that Yue Yulou looked down on him, but that Zhang Qiming and the others believed that the boy was obviously not at the age to come into contact with these things.
"Science? Lao Zhang, are you funny?"
"Don't you think? Where did that hell where the birds don't shit come from? There was nearly 400,000 troops in one mobilization."
Although Zhang Qiming was indeed right, he was in the game at this time, and he obviously had a bit of a picky point in the eggs.
"Brother, is this a game?"
"I know, but hasn't Yashan ever promoted that everything in the game can have a 'reasonable' explanation? Everything respects the history of Yashan, nah..."
"I want my lord to explain this kind of problem."
When Yue Yulou heard Sima Guiyi throw the problem on him, he just smiled and said softly:
"Qi Ming is the population of strange hell, right?"
"Well, when I was fine, I did a statistics about the proportion of soldiers and civilians of each race. As a result... the proportion of soldiers and civilians in the human world is the highest, and about one hundred civilians can raise one soldier. So, a large country like the Duchy of Falcon with a population of tens of millions can usually reach 100,000..."
"No!"
Isido, who kept lowering his head and playing with his fingers, suddenly spoke out very rarely.
"I remember in the previous few wars, did those principalities often have more than 100,000, and even had a battle of hundreds of thousands of people break out?"
"You listen to me first!"
After knocking heavily on the table, Zhang Qiming, who was quite unceremonious, continued to say loudly:
"In Yashan, NPC also needs to eat. I guess Yuetou and Guizhai should know the best. We play single-player online games, but they play strategic online games. Those countries are no exception. They also need farmers and farming. However,! The mobilization mechanism of the human world is very strong. In normal times, they usually maintain a standing army of about 100,000, and are also the backbone. However, in wartime, they can temporarily recruit those farmers to the army..."
As he said that, he turned his head and stared at Isido and said:
"Have you ever killed a human soldier?"
"Well...no."
"Then I can tell you that according to the game's power level, the level of soldiers temporarily recruited is generally only two levels, and the rest are first-level, and the lowest-level soldiers in the standing legion also have two levels, most of which are two levels, middle-level and third-level... If you are in the battlefield between humans, you will find that the ones who are really involved in the battle are actually those standing legion, and they are the main force. The remaining temporary militias are often just fighting with the wind or shaking flags and shouting. If the main force fails, these armies will immediately collapse like sand, so the battle between humans is mostly a defeated war... Of course, except for defending the city."
"But even so... I think about the orcs and elves, shouldn't the proportion be high?"
"Indeed, in an emergency, these races can reach the level of ten people and one soldier, but... the best land in Yashan is controlled by humans, do you understand?"
“……………………”
"Although humans seem to have average troops, they cannot achieve the goal of being a soldier for the whole nation, but they have extremely huge population and resource advantages. But orcs, elves, and dwarves are not allowed. They cannot support long-term combat, so you see that the orcs are almost in a slump when they lose. I don't know how long it will take to recover. The Wild Wolf Principal was also defeated so miserably, but they still withstand it, and even the number of troops is larger than before."
"Okay, let's continue with your question, there's still something serious to talk about later."
"So I don't understand, hell's resources are so scarce, where does their population come from? It pops out of the stone? And their entire race seems to be without civilians..."
"Actually, Qiming, you're right."
"ha?"
Yue Yulou's smile made Zhang Qiming suddenly feel very uneasy, as if he had said something amazing.
"Many demons, or many low-level demons, actually did not reproduce."
"Um!?"
"How to put it, the simple explanation is that the title of demon does not actually apply to all hell creatures. Of course, this has nothing to do with strength. Basically, creatures with considerable intelligence can be regarded as real demons. And like Nightmare, or Barbarian Demon, they can only be said to be hellified creatures. And as Qi Ming said, the population of hell is actually very small... I also want to correct a misunderstanding. In fact, succubus and night demons originally simply mean female demons and male demons, but due to some unexpected reasons, their explanations have been distorted. In short, the real "population" of hell is very small, but the biotechnology of hell is very developed!"
"Biotechnology? Your words seem to be a bit trendy..."
"Because it's more appropriate... Anyway, the demons put a lot of effort into researching biological manufacturing technology for war and achieved considerable results. They can artificially create 'tools, demon babies, mad demons, etc. with almost no intellectual factors, so the total population of hell is about 30 to 40 million, among which artificial coolies such as demon babies and horn demons may account for 10% of them. The real demons should be between 6 million and 8 million."
"No wonder... I said where did the demon's 'army' come from? But will he not be invincible when he has been creating those low-level creatures indefinitely?"
"How is it possible? Making organisms also requires raw materials. Although those things are tools, they are actually creatures and also consume food. If they starve to death as soon as they come out, what's the point of manufacturing?"
"But leader, I still think something is wrong. Will the orc be beaten like this by the demon baby?"
According to inertia, Isido took it for granted that the legions of demons were all composed of low-level demons.
"Haha, first of all, the demon army cannot be full of low-level creatures. Secondly... the orcs were already in a siege at that time, even a group of goblins could wipe out them all. After all, war is not a fight."
After saying that, Yue Yulou didn't give anyone else a chance to speak. He quickly picked up the table Douglas had just sent the information to the intelligence and laughed softly:
"The gossip ends here, regardless of whether the demon's army is a mixed fish or not, they now have new goals."
At the warning of Yue Yulou, everyone picked up the latest information, and the content displayed on it was also very simple.
After winning the "Autumn Offensive", the demons did not stop their own war. Although they had temporarily lifted the threats from the west, north and south, there were still tens of thousands of troops gathering in the east. Although the successive failures seriously damaged the morale of the coalition, they did not really shake the confidence of the coalition. Many people still believe that the demons are weak now, especially after a series of wars...
According to Douglas' latest information, the demon seemed to have smelled the possible actions of the human side, so their crazy leader decided to take the initiative to defeat their confidence and hope with the most rapid offensive before the coalition forces had not yet organized enough power!
As early as October 30, intelligence had already appeared, and by November 5, the situation was very clear. About 130,000 demon troops gathered on the border of the Falcon Empire in the east. A huge comrade seemed to be imminent. It is worth mentioning that these 130,000 troops were almost all the backbone of the demons, that is, the middle and high-level demons. Behind them were tens of thousands of low-level demons as logistics support troops. The hell that mobilized such terrifying power would naturally not be small.
"It turns out that he is a war madman. How long has it been, and he is going to fight again..."
"Tsk tsk, only 130,000."
"It's not much 130,000, right? According to what I said just now, if not those low-level demons, there are probably not so many elites in the autumn offensive. Moreover, the demon is surrounded by enemies on all sides, so there are many places to defend."
After everyone saw it, they naturally discussed it, but Sima Guiyi was silent for a long time until he put down the information in his hand.
"Lord, the devil's target...but Brno?"
"Haha, it's true that I can't hide it from you Sima, that's right... Ward's goal should be Brno."
"Brno? Where?"
"A small town located in the western border of the Duchy of Falcon with a population of tens of thousands. In the war between the Duchy of Falcon and the Duchy of Griffon, it was once a very important key point, because it not only protects the grain-producing areas in the central Falcon, but also the most important pass in the southern part of the church. If it is occupied, it can directly threaten the entire Duchy of Falcon and Alaris!"
Sima Guiyi's answer surprised everyone because they could imagine how much fluctuations would occur in the human world when such an important point was threatened.
"Well, since we have all obtained information, I guess the great dukes and generals in the human world should also guess it. However, since the troops of the Falcon Principality are now scattered on the border, the situation is not optimistic."
"The devil's actions will be very fast. Now we have information, and they are probably starting to act."
"So...we may be human saviors."
While smiling, Yue Yulou slowly took out an exquisite letter from his sleeve, and the badge of the royal family of the Duchy of Falcon could be clearly seen.
Chapter completed!
