#194 - Section 194
Night, in the magician's camp, at Tassika's dedicated message area.
Roger was explaining the main contents of the Qing Teng Empire's five-year plan to her, and then arranging the work focus of the Terra Kingdom based on this plan.
The empire's help in establishing the orcish nation is all early-stage investment. As the Terra Kingdom enters the fast lane of development, it's time to return the profits.
"The empire's technical assistance to Terra will be announced externally in the form of your spy operations' achievements. In this way, you will be at the forefront of anti-Qing Teng efforts. At the same time, several military exercises will be conducted on the border. Please be fully prepared."
Roger suppressed his laughter throughout the task assignment.
Although we have all received professional training, this is really hard to hold back!
The empire's military is also full of geniuses. The script is so meticulously written that Tassika's character is becoming more and more legendary, making the surrounding countries place high hopes on her...
"I guarantee to complete the mission!" Tassika obediently agreed, feeling no psychological pressure at all about using spies.
What's stolen with skill, why should we pay for it, right?
The grand play they are putting on for the other countries of the world is a win-win for both the empire and the orcs, with only the audience paying the price in the end.
Originally, it was just a moment of soft-heartedness to reduce the cost of rule and casualties, and then support Tassika to become a puppet regime of the orc kingdom.
Now it is discovered that this idle move will play a much larger value than expected as the situation in the Eternal Night World changes.
It's just a pity that Roger's initial idea of using orcs to make up for the labor shortage was shattered. The orcs are also engaged in large-scale infrastructure construction in the desert, and are also facing the problem of labor shortage.
Tassika is already employing foreign workers. Their international relations are a billion times better than the Qing Teng Empire, and they also have the backing of the Church of the Goddess of War. Everyone is one big family. The surrounding churches will not prevent their own people from earning the orcs' money.
Looking back at the Qing Teng Empire, even if they offer higher wages, there will be no large-scale influx of foreign labor.
Because the church has already promoted them as the poison of the Eternal Night World, ordinary people regard the empire as a desperate situation, and will not go to the empire unless they cannot survive.
Of course, because of the greed of those nobles, there are actually quite a few who cannot survive.
But even these desperate people are smuggling in as underground laborers, and the quantity and quality are greatly limited.
Fortunately, the existence of the Terra Kingdom provides the empire with a great deal of room for maneuver.
First, the official recognition of the Goddess of War made Tassika's identity as the Orc Queen legitimate.
Next, the anti-Qing Teng alliance is led by Tassika, and the empire has a natural advantage in intelligence.
Further on, with the strength of the Terra Kingdom, it will become a bridgehead for the entire world to resist the Qing Teng tyranny.
As long as the empire wants to act, it can always be in cahoots with the Terra Kingdom, and keep acting until it has matured, and then take away the surrounding area in one wave.
Finally, the Terra Kingdom will, in the form of "technology leakage," pour industrial products and weapons and equipment to surrounding countries through the Terra Kingdom, earning extra money from those nations with deep foundations.
By the way, the overseas version of Boundless Space will also be exported through the Terra Kingdom, achieving the cultural output that the empire wants to complete in a roundabout way, and also avoiding the church's vigilance against Qing Teng goods.
It's like a hacker and a botnet, an lsp and a vpn, a cross-dressing大佬 and a wig. Because of the existence of the Terra Kingdom, many operations that the empire is inconvenient to do seem much more logical in the name of Terra.
A screenshot of a chat log, as long as it looks like two accounts are chatting, is more credible than one person nagging, isn't it?
In fact, these are all generated by tool software!
The relationship between the Qing Teng Empire and the Terra Kingdom is now like this. The two cooperate in acting, creating a false impression to buy the empire enough time to develop.
And for the impoverished orc tribe, the newly established kingdom is the biggest development opportunity in their history.
The orcs' scattered tribal era has come to an end. Next, they will live together, intermarry, and build together. The former tribal divisions will become increasingly blurred.
There are many intelligent creatures of various races in this multiverse, and many of them have huge individual differences, but it is amazing that there is no reproductive isolation. Mortals and dragons can give birth to offspring.
The half-dragon princess in front of me is a living example of a hybrid.
Therefore, the Terra orcs have different physical characteristics such as orc ears and tails, but they can give birth to offspring no matter how they mix, but the orc characteristics of mixed-race offspring are usually not obvious.
In other words, the mixed-race offspring of orcs will look more like humans on the surface.
Roger and Tassika discussed that if the Terra Kingdom can really eliminate prejudice and feuds between different tribes, it is likely to become a new human race in appearance...
In addition, with the continuous influence of the empire in terms of technology and culture, the two countries are becoming more and more similar. If the time is right, direct integration into the empire is just around the corner.
In Tassika's view, that is of course an excellent future. At that time, she will be able to work with Lord Charles in a legitimate way.
On the other hand, arranged by the Goddess of War and the Sea God, the cooperation between the Orc Kingdom and the Naga Empire will investigate the detailed intelligence of the Qing Teng Empire from two directions.
Nali Nair's power of faith is certainly not so easy to earn. The intelligence she needs is not simply superficial things like population, area, and agricultural output, but to understand the empire's strong combat power, the average level of armament of the troops, the morale of the army, and even a large amount of more detailed information.
She gave a terrifyingly long and detailed task list that must be completed to get the final reward.
The Goddess of War and the Sea God dared to accept it because Nali Nair is indeed as she said: she is a person who keeps her promises and respects contracts.
As long as the task is completed, she will definitely not go back on her word.
The difficulty lies in that the tasks she gives are not so easy to complete.
Tiberia and the Sea God rely on the fact that they already have a well-developed force in the Eternal Night World. A probing attack should be able to obtain a lot of intelligence.
With the cooperation of both sides, the final benefits should be very good.
Nali Nair's swordsmanship is precise. Although it is because the incarnation disappeared inexplicably and she wanted to trick others into helping her step on the thunder, the benefits given must be tempting enough for someone to take the bait.
At this moment, Tassika has successfully pulled the Naga Empire's Saintess Nicole Thousand Whirls into the chat group through the split body of the Super-Dimensional Canvas, and the two sides have reached the first wave of cooperation.
The Orc Kingdom claims to be in the post-war reconstruction phase and cannot send troops for the time being. Only the Naga Empire can first start a war with the Mermaid Sea Kingdom to create a landing point to further understand the detailed intelligence of the empire.
Although they cannot send troops, the Orc Kingdom will support a batch of weapons and equipment, and ensure that alchemical equipment accounts for 30%.
This made Nicole very pleasantly surprised. The strong sea race does not lack strong warriors, but handy weapons are very scarce.
The ocean area is vast and rich in products, and marine races almost never worry about food problems.
Those intelligent races each have the skill to summon schools of fish. Just sing a song and the whole family will not be hungry.
A'Fu is very envious of this. His voice is hoarse from singing, but the Queen still wants to trick more Eris Demon Worm Miss Sisters to come, making him constantly on the verge of being reverse pushed every day.
With the advantages in agriculture, there are also shortcomings in the ocean, that is, there are always huge defects in metal smelting.
Due to environmental constraints, only some races in the ocean have the racial talent of "cold refining," which can purify metals, and the output is only enough to arm the most elite troops.
At the same time, they also face serious rust problems.
The ordinary troops of the marine race use weapons polished from shells and coral. Because of the characteristics of the world, the strength is definitely greater than the varieties on Earth, but compared with other materials in this world, there are definitely various shortcomings.
Many powerful giant whale warriors hold the anchors of land race shipwrecks in their hands. Just imagine how sad this is.
Yes, I'm talking about you, Tide Lord.
In the most prosperous era of the Mermaid Sea Kingdom, their dream has always been to land. The sunlight and environment of the ground make the marine race yearn.
However, with the decline of the mermaid's strength and the rise of the Naga, their goal is only to protect themselves.
The Naga sea race, because of the location of its rise in the center of the ocean, is not connected to any continent, and also needs to break through the blockade of the Mermaid Sea Kingdom to obtain new landing points.
In the case that they have just seen each other and are still carrying out large-scale construction, the Terra Kingdom can support a batch of valuable weapons, and guarantee that the proportion of alchemical equipment inside is as high as 30%. This is a huge wealth for any force.
With the steel production of this world, those big countries want to arm a heavy cavalry force, and it takes several generations to slowly gather enough armor.
Nicole saw the weapons sent by the Orc Kingdom, and naturally became more confident in the upcoming war against the mermaid.
The quantity and quality of the steel weapons surprised them. The heavy feel made them feel that the surface races are so happy to have so much steel!
The ever-changing alchemical equipment made them even more surprised by the whimsical ideas of the surface mages—of course, there are also some small problems that can accidentally inflict friendly fire.
But everyone is used to the characteristics of mage creations.
It's not a mass-produced product. Each piece is a unique handmade product, so it's very normal for problems to occur...
Because of this batch of equipment, the friendship between Tassika and Nicole quickly warmed up, and they expressed their expectation for more comprehensive cooperation in the future.
Originally, these two girls hit it off right away. Tassika's kindness and gentleness, and her sympathy for the people at the bottom, are very compatible with Nicole, who wants to protect the Naga people.
The only difference is that Nicole is a true believer of the Sea God, and Tassika has seen through the true face of the Goddess of War.
The batch of weapons that Tassika aided naturally came from the Qing Teng Empire. Those alchemical equipment were small bombs, medium bombs, and large bombs made by the Arcane Society...
The empire's military, which is familiar with the mages' whimsical characteristics, is happy to see someone test this batch of equipment first, and then they will equip the improved version with various minor defects fixed.
Roger peeped at the chat between Tassika and Nicole with the Super-Dimensional Canvas in his hand.
By the way, his name in the group is Josta, and his identity is an orc who was sent to the empire as an undercover agent.
"The people of the empire thought he was dead, but he is still alive, and has been monitoring the actions of those barbarians, and has brought back a lot of useful technology for us."
Tassika introduced Roger to Nicole like this, laying the groundwork for the operation.
"Lord Josta is a great person." The naive Nicole did not suspect at all, after all, the empire's intelligence given by Roger was all true.
The Terra Kingdom has indeed been secretly copying the empire's new technology. It is impossible for them not to have installed spies of considerable level in the empire.
This Naga saintess would never have imagined that, on the contrary, Tassika was the insider arranged by the empire into the Seven Gods camp.
After the equipment was in place, Frankenstein was also pulled into the group chat by Roger, named "Bronzebeard."
This is a typical dwarf-style name. Her profession is also a blacksmith, responsible for the after-sales service of the Naga sea race's equipment.
[It's entirely because there are too many problems with the equipment, copying the chat records numbs my hands, so I simply let the instigator come and see it himself!]
In summary, the anti-Qing Teng alliance now has a total of four people, Tassika, Nicole, Roger, and Frankenstein...
So the situation is that three empire undercover agents are chatting with a god's believer to relieve boredom...
Just thinking about this picture is outrageous, okay!
According to Roger's plan, the next friend to be pulled into the anti-Qing Teng alliance group is Xana.
That little angel's projection must be happy to stand on the opposite side of the empire now.
But the misunderstanding between her and the empire can be resolved, but her relationship with the Seven Gods is a script that must end with Xana's death of projection...
"I suddenly feel sorry for Nicole!" Tassika gave Roger a resentful look.
It's all this guy's bad ideas that made him a conspirator in abducting girls.
Roger nodded very seriously: "It's true that it's not good to just hold on to one believer, you should quickly get the Terra development up, and then you can pull in the Elf Queen, the Dragon High Priest, the Dwarf Chieftain, the Lich Sage, etc., and fool them together."
"Okay, I'm starting to feel sorry for myself. They will hate me to death when they know the truth..."
Tassika hugged herself aggrievedly.
This guy pulled the leaders of the strong countries in the Eternal Night World into the anti-Qing Teng alliance, definitely not for suicide preparation, but to wipe them all out.
Poor myself, is the piece of meat thrown out to attract those greedy vultures...
"You should learn to appreciate the way they hate you, but can't beat you to death," Roger comforted.
"This shouldn't be like this," Tassika sighed.
"Then what should it be like?"
"When other people's little brothers carry them, they say I will protect you; but the great hero I waited for said to me, Tazi, you go up and sell..."
Tassika stared at Roger with a pair of talking eyes, which really made him feel a little guilty.
People are already orc queens, and they are still pulling people everywhere without face, which is really embarrassing, and it is high risk.
He reached out and put his hand on Tassika's shoulder, giving her a firm support: "Don't be afraid, I will build you a set of the most fleshy equipment."
"I don't want it!"
Tassika bit him on the hand.
Why are other people little fairies, but I have to be beaten the most poisonous?

Chapter 171: Cat Slave Xana and the Soul Mimicry Bracelet
Group 4 ⑧87 ④97⑨9
The City of Mysteries, in the education district two blocks away from the Grand Library.
Not far from here is the Imperial Magic Academy, and next to it are academies for warriors, knights, thieves, rangers, and other professions.
Coupled with tutoring institutions that help young people get into these "Imperial Famous Schools," and corresponding textbook and teaching supply stores, the area has an extremely strong academic atmosphere.
And because there are so many young people, it also feels particularly young and vibrant.
However, the downside is that there are more fights and brawls. Young professionals who don't know the immensity of the world inevitably feel like they're the boss after learning a few skills, and then they get taught a lesson by the city defense army team stationed here.
Who wasn't a genius teenager back in the day? The city defense army is also quite cunning, sending those who were geniuses back then to this area. Whether it's strength or showing-off skills, plus constantly upgraded equipment, they easily crush these young punks.
The troublemakers get beaten by their seniors. The physical damage can be tolerated, but the mental damage of being completely outclassed leaves them with more shadows. Over time, the area returns to a peaceful and serene state.
