Chapter 507: Tripartite Alliance and Alien Territory

The dwarfs were not fools, and they could naturally see that the Silver-haired Princess was the Silver-haired Princess and the Giant Snake Mercenaries were the Giant Snake Mercenaries, especially the latter, which definitely came from some powerful human force.

Although no one knew which human force the Great Serpent Mercenaries came from and why they had never been heard of, the battle between Beastfoot Forest and the Mother Tree of Desire won the respect of the dwarves, so they decided to test whether the other party had any intention of forming an alliance, and the Silver-haired Princess was the middleman the dwarves found.

After knowing this, the Silver-haired Princess had no intention of interfering, but instead worked hard as a lobbyist.

How could the silver-haired princess, who had managed to survive until now as a princess of a fallen country, not see what the dwarf could see? Her rich experience made her very clear that the Great Snake Mercenary Group should not be treated as an ordinary mercenary group, let alone relying on the employment contract to oppress others, but should be respected as a force.

In fact, the reason for doing this is that the Silver-haired Princess also has the idea of ​​forming an alliance, because forming an alliance with a powerful force will be more helpful to her cause of restoring her country.

However, the Silver-haired Princess is the weakest among the three parties. Her only advantage is not her identity as the princess of the Holy Oak Kingdom, but her good relationship with the dwarves and the employment relationship with the Great Snake Mercenaries.

No matter whether these relationships are reliable or not, they are better than having no relationship at all. Therefore, the Silver-haired Princess made good use of her advantage between the two sides and tried her best to promote this alliance.

With all of them willing, after three-way negotiation, they finally reached an offensive and defensive alliance. Then the Silver-haired Princess, representing the Holy Oak Kingdom, and the Iron-footed Dwarf King, representing the Dwarf Hill City, each ceded a portion of their territory to the Great Snake Territory represented by Yan Xu.

Yan Xu had no intention of establishing a country here. Once a country was established, immigrants from the Japanese world would easily feel separated from their homeland. This was not a split for themselves, so he just called it the Great Snake Territory, which was considered the Japanese territory in Middle-earth.

This territory, located between the former Holy Oak Kingdom and the Dwarf Hill City, is triangular in shape, like a triangle ruler, with one corner pressed against the side of the Beast Foot Forest and then extending northward.

The land area is not small, but it is not very fertile. In addition, it has always been located between two forces and has never been developed to avoid conflict, so it is very desolate.

But Yan Xu didn't mind. With his current abilities, he had plenty of ways to carry out construction.

Now that the war has come to an end, first of all, the army of Dwarf Hill City suffered heavy losses in the Beast Foot Forest and needs to rest for a while. They also need to gather more intelligence. After all, both the roots of the Mother Tree of Desire and the kingdom of the dwarves are underground. If they don't find out clearly, it's easy to fall into a trap, so the war cannot be started for a while.

The silver-haired princess is going to the elf kingdom to look for clues to seal the Dark Lord, so Yan Xu plans to take some time to build the Great Snake Territory and do some immigration at the same time.

Before this, Yan Xu had not expected that the covenant signed with the Silver-haired Princess and one of the oldest races, the dwarves, was like a letter of guarantee, allowing him to avoid some restrictions of world consciousness.

At least in the territory allocated to him, Yan Xu has rights similar to those of the original residents, which is why he dares to engage in construction.

However, it is no longer possible outside the territory. The upper limit is still one thousand, but if you have a legitimate reason, the upper limit will increase accordingly.

This is interesting. Yan Xu plans to make more attempts in the territory to test the depth of world consciousness.

If there is no reaction, then continue with the construction. If there is a reaction, or even interference, then don't blame him for following the clues to get to the bottom of it.

A group of system farmers were recruited to build all the Japanese buildings such as the castle tower.

Yan Xu now has no shortage of food, gold, or luck. He only needs to click on any problem he encounters. The next step is to fill the city with enough people. Yan Xu has recruited tens of thousands of immigrants from Japan at a ratio of three to one, filling the city with a mixed population and developing large tracts of land around it.

The population of the system is okay. Those who immigrated from Japan have never seen such a vast and flat land. They were so excited that they almost cried.

The main reason was that the conditions were good: they could rent farm tools and oxen at low prices, and there was no tax exemption in the first year. Most importantly, all the reclaimed land belonged to them. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to attract tens of thousands of immigrants at once.

Because he had unified Japan, Yan Xu now had no shortage of population, talent, or experience. As long as he gave an order, everything would be arranged and implemented. Coupled with the system's amazing construction speed, a decent city appeared on this alien land like a miracle.

The only drawback is that the terrain is too flat. Although there are rivers and forests, there are no strategic locations to defend. For this reason, Yan Xu adjusted the troops and increased the proportion of firearms equipment.

In fact, the most suitable one is cavalry, but the Japanese cavalry is simply hard to describe. Yan Xu did not intend to make his opponent laugh to death, so he got a batch of chariots that had been improved many times.

As a product of Yan Xu's early sudden inspiration, the Zhutu chariot has low power, slow speed, poor defense, short endurance, and average attack. It has almost no advantages, but it is a decent mobile firepower point and will not be completely defenseless when encountering cavalry.

It is not enough to just focus on farming. Yan Xu plans to deepen his connections with all aspects of Middle-earth to see if he can break through some restrictions. To this end, he sent a caravan and three hundred soldiers to Shorthill City.

"According to the offensive and defensive alliance contract, Lord Snake will maintain a force of 300 soldiers to cooperate with you in clearing out the dwarves and monsters in the Beast-Foot Forest." Fu Ji, who came to Dwarf Hill City again, stated her purpose when facing the Iron-Footed Dwarf King.

The Ironfoot Dwarf King had a strange expression on his face. He was actually very happy that his allies sent troops to help relieve the pressure. After all, no one disliked such allies. However, he was also afraid that his allies would use too much force and shatter to the ground.

In the previous battle with the Mother Tree of Desire, the dwarf army suffered nearly 200 casualties, which was a considerable loss for the Dwarf Hill City with a population of less than 10,000. However, more than 500 of the allies committed self-destruction and over 1,000 were killed in the battle, which made people very suspicious about who the main force of this battle was.

Dwarves and elves are the two oldest races in Middle-earth. Even though they are gradually declining, they have not let go of their inner pride. So while they look down on other races, they still have an inexplicable sense of pride and self-esteem, and they have the Big Brother mentality of "I must be the first to take action when something happens."

It is based on this kind of mentality that the Iron-footed Dwarf King has mixed feelings. He is happy that the casualties have been reduced, but he is also worried about losing face. He is quite conflicted.

However, these insignificant matters were soon forgotten, because a group of dwarves grunted and carried up the pig-headed chariot that the Big Snake Leader had presented to the Dwarf Hill City.

Judging from the gravel and dust on the dwarves' bodies, the road had been expanded along the way.

This pig-throwing chariot given as a gift is not a mass-produced product. Every component is carefully crafted. Even the dwarves cannot find many faults. Even if there are, it is no longer important after seeing the forging techniques and alloys that they have never seen before.

The Ironfoot Dwarf King is not only a king but also a master forger, so when he saw the Pig-Turn Chariot, his eyes lit up immediately, especially when he saw the steam engine inside, he felt like he had found a treasure.

The more knowledgeable one is, the more they understand its significance, and the dwarf is an expert among experts, so he understands the function of this mechanical creation and the changes it will bring to the future at just one glance.
