Chapter 268 What Motivation?
"Special weapons for cat people?" Kirby didn't quite understand: "Are you going to kill all the cat people who don't obey your orders?"

Zhang Jingyi: "How can they be so cruel! It's impossible to kill them, not in this lifetime. I won't get angry with a group of heartless creatures who never obey orders."

Kirby: “…”

Well, if an army was very obedient to orders and suddenly one day stopped obeying them, he would also be very angry.

But if an army that doesn't obey orders, or has never obeyed orders, still doesn't obey orders now, Kirby won't be angry either.

He wanted to see what secret weapon Zhang Jingyi had.

The dwarves, guards, and Ace's men on the ship ran into the cabin. After a while, one of them came out with a strange thin bamboo pole. A fake bird made of cloth was tied to the top of the pole with a rope. The bird had a bell in its mouth.

Kirby: What the hell is this?

Zhang Jingyi snorted, "This is a special weapon for dealing with cat people. People in the martial arts world call it a cat teasing stick."

Kirby: "I don't understand the purpose of it at all."

"You'll find out soon enough!"

Zhang Jingyi picked up a cat toy and shook it vigorously. The bell immediately jingled, and the fake bird tied to the string also trembled and jumped along with it.

The tabby warrior who was taking a nap in the distance suddenly sat up, his ears turned to follow the sound of the bell, and then he glanced over here. When he caught a glimpse of the shaking cloth bird, his eyes were instantly locked on it and could not be moved away.

"Meow!" The tabby warrior suddenly became full of energy, no longer sleepy, and rushed towards the warship.

[It flew and jumped at great speed], jumped onto the boat in a flash, and bit the cloth bird in one bite.

Zhang Jingyi reached out and touched his head: "Very good, good boy! Aren't you going to the battle with me?"

Kirby: “…”

Everyone on the boat shook the cat teasers vigorously, and the sound of the bells tinkled like a symphony.

Cat-people kept jumping out of the dense forest, including caracal, golden shaded cat, ragdoll, calico, little white cat...all kinds of cat-people rushed over, jumped onto the warship, bit a cloth bird in one bite, and had a lot of fun.

Even the usually steady and sensible silver tabby chieftain ran out of the dense forest and shouted, "Wait for me, meow... I'm old and can't run fast, meow... leave me a cat toy, meow..."

Everyone: "..."

So, half of the 200 cat people were tricked by the cat teaser into getting on the boat. Those who got on the boat were all young, strong and fast-running cat people, who were the main fighting force of the cat people. In this way, the cat people successfully sent out troops.

Four large ships, carrying hundreds of soldiers, headed toward the sea along the West Wind River.

The pilots of these four ships were all taught by Zhang Jingyi himself.

It was a bit difficult for him, who had just obtained his ship driving license, to immediately change his career to become an instructor. Fortunately, driving a boat in reality is just like driving a car. There are not so many rules, and it does not need to be as rigid as in a driving school.

The driving test requires you to reverse into a parking space once, but in reality no one will deduct points from you even if you do it ten times.

So it doesn’t matter if Zhang Jingyi’s teaching level is just okay. As long as he can drive the boat, it’s fine. There’s no need to be so particular about it.

The most crucial point is that there are no other boats on the West Wind River.

Even a rookie driver who has just obtained a driver's license does not have to worry about capsizing other boats and causing boat accidents. Driving is much easier.

Kirby looked around the ship, full of excitement. As a soldier, how could he not like such a huge warship? He touched everything here and there, full of curiosity.

However, after the boat sailed for a while, Kirby suddenly found something wrong.

He looked up at the mast, but the sail was not raised! The sail was hanging down, weak and without any wind.

Could it be that this boat was a rowing boat? Would there be many long oars extending from both sides of the boat?
Kirby quickly leaned over the side of the boat and looked down.

I took a quick look and didn't see a single oar.

This is outrageous!
He looked up at the sails, then down at the cabin, and after looking at it over and over again for more than ten times, he jumped in front of Zhang Jingyi and asked, "How on earth is this ship moving?"

Zhang Jingyi: "Magic power!"

Kirby: “Huh?”

Kirby is a magic swordsman. He knows some magic and can communicate with elemental spirits. He quickly used his heart to feel. Soon he felt that there was a "machine room" in the cabin, and there were fire elements running wild inside...

He pushed open the door of the engine room and walked in, and saw the diesel engine unit on the ship.

This thing was incomprehensible to him. He simply couldn't understand it.

Kirby had to give up his curiosity and return to the deck.

The skies are filled with dragonhawk archers and raptor druids.

There were also a large number of werewolves on both sides, carrying their equipment and running wildly on all fours...

Kirby was suddenly shocked when he saw this scene: Oh, this army seems to be very powerful! If the Iron Horse Knights fight this mixed army of demi-humans head-on, it seems... it seems... it feels... that they may not be able to win.

Of course, humans still have their own advantages!
The most powerful thing about humans is their high degree of organization, which far exceeds that of any subhuman race. In large-scale group combat, the advantage of organization is self-evident, which is probably why humans can occupy Middle-earth even though they have no fighting talent.

"Report, the ratmen reinforcements are coming."

A soldier suddenly ran up to Zhang Jingyi and said, "They came to reinforce from the Rat Cave in the north. They were planning to march with us, but when they saw the cat people on the ship, they hid and marched far away, and ran to the Elf Village from another route."

Kirby: "Huh? You still have a rat army?"

Zhang Jingyi nodded: "There are also goblins, kobolds, boarmen, orcs... Look... there are a large number of boarmen gathering over there."

Kirby turned his head and saw a group of wild boar men coming out of the forest. They had a wild boar head and long fangs, but their bodies could walk upright like humans. They even wore leather armor and held spears and swords in their hands.

When the boar men saw the boats on the river, they waved their hands, joined forces with the werewolves, and marched along the shore towards the West Wind River.

It turned out that Elizabeth had not been idle in the past two months. She had been using another talent of humans, [diplomacy], and had been working hard to establish relationships with various races.

The invasion of the Desert Kingdom helped Elizabeth unite the various races to some extent. After all, once the Desert Kingdom's army landed, all the sub-humans in the western forest would be affected, and no one would be immune.

Elizabeth used this reason to convince various races and easily united all the sub-human races around her.
