I have a map editor

"Lina" felt deeply about the topic of how to allocate and use funds and hated orcs. As an indigenous lord, she was very familiar with the forces around her hometown and recommended many candidates with commander-in-chief talents to Yang Sheng.

And Yang Sheng is not the kind of capitalist who wins twice and calculates profits to the extreme. On the premise of leaving enough profit space for agents like "Lina" and Angelina, even for agents like "Lina" and Angelina, as long as they are not too black-hearted, the local people also have a lot of profit space. As long as trade meets their needs, they will not force those empty-headed things such as ideology, freedom, democracy and so on.

After all, he has the support of the world's largest consumer market with a population of more than one billion, and he controls the key logistics channels, so he is invincible.

Not to mention the special effects of materials from the magical world, nor those rare and precious treasures from heaven and earth, the relatively abundant and high-quality seafood in the Falling Star Sea, which has little value locally, is just a major trading commodity.

In addition, there are some specialty products with small production volumes, such as mana pearls and shell necklaces. Even murlocs can make shell necklaces, not to mention the intelligent creatures there. The quality of products produced by civilized city-states will only be better.

All in all, the preliminary draft was very pleasant for both parties and the meal was a great pleasure for both hosts and guests.

……

When it comes to business, such as the formulation of contract terms, Luo Ruier and Zhuo Yisi are the professionals. They both graduated from professional schools and have worked under Yang Sheng for almost a year with high quality.

In the following days, they connected with "Lina".

The magical world may not have a credit system in the broad sense of the ordinary world, but it has a "contract system", so the contract and the content of the contract text are equally important.

However, many modern professional clauses are difficult to pronounce and complicate, no matter in English or Chinese, let alone "Linna", even Yang Sheng feels a headache when reading them.

Even though "Lina" was a magician known for her intelligence, she was confused within two days and became bewildered. She almost became in a state of "Ah, yes, yes, yes". Fortunately, the actions of both parties were not concealed from the third party, that is, Zheng Zhi.

After understanding the situation, Zhao Qing and another female (cat) staff member were assigned to "Linna" as her consultants, helping her negotiate and formulate contracts with Luo Ruier and Zhuo Yisi.

There are a lot of empty houses in the community, so we can just find a villa, spruce it up, and use it as a meeting place.

While negotiating, "Linna" learned about the business system of modern society and wrote letters to her aunt to inform her in advance so that she could be prepared.

Yang Sheng did not have to attend the negotiation meeting, as he left full authority to his two secretaries.

He did talk to Zheng Zhi several times and learned about the status of relevant domestic equipment. Because the mysterious country had a weak foundation during World War II, it did not have equipment that could be used today, such as the "Missouri (Is that the name, the old antique battleship in the super battleship)", and even if it did, it would be a famous ship with great historical or commemorative value, such as the "Zhongshan", which was not suitable for export to others.

The few naval equipment they had were ex-Soviet goods, so broken that they were embarrassed to take them out, and most of them had been scrapped and dismantled.

Although affected by the "celestial pest", the navy did not update modern ships in a massive manner like the parallel plane where Yang Sheng came from, but there were quite a few new equipment put into service in recent years, including at least aircraft carriers and advanced destroyers.

However, these equipments are not suitable for export to the Falling Star Sea in the other world. On the one hand, the weapons are too advanced and the natives there don’t know how to use them. On the other hand, they can’t afford them. In addition, even in a relatively primitive other world, the mysterious country is principled and responsible...

Who knows what else those people in the Falling Star Sea can do besides using these weapons and equipment to fight orcs? You know, there are pirate forces among them.

However, Yang Sheng originally did not expect modern weapons and equipment, otherwise, once a missile was launched, the seafood output value of Ishatar Island for several years might be wiped out. His initial idea was some surface equipment from World War II.

When the two were talking, Zheng Zhi said to him: "Aren't you worried that they will buy these equipment and use them against you?"

Yang Sheng really hadn't thought about this question. Maybe in his subconscious mind this wasn't a problem... He shrugged and replied: "At best, I won't do business with them. Besides, if they cut off their relationship with me, the equipment they bought would become waste. At least they would have to spend hundreds of years reverse engineering the weapons and equipment system, and they would also have to develop the oil technology tree."

Yang Sheng also teased him: "I haven't done the hydrological and navigation data over there. Don't you want to go over there to test the actual combat data of technological weapons against high-level extraordinary people, and make preliminary preparations for escorting in that vast sea area in the future?"

Zheng Zhi was stunned at first, then looked at Yang Sheng with a thoughtful expression, but finally shook his head:

"I will convey your words to my superiors, but this is not something I can decide."

Yang Sheng shrugged again, "What did I say? I said nothing!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, tacit understanding.

In fact, before the aid plan formulated by Yang Sheng came into effect, the expansion of the orc invasion in the Falling Star Sea had been curbed by powerful units that appeared under the sea.

On all routes, orcs

Valuable targets of the force were constantly intercepted, and the losses were not limited to logistic transport ships, even the regular fleet was being continuously destroyed.

This was because after a certain woman got used to the operating mode, she became more and more adept at fighting, and also because after the regular fleet was sunk, there were more supplies that could be recovered.

In the wider sea area, the islands and strongholds occupied by the Orcs were also being eliminated one by one by the landing Naga units - among the Orcs there were spellcasters and people who could communicate with nature such as Shamans, so it was not difficult to get the name of the Naga race, although the two sides had no language communication so far.

Not only could the orcs not continue their invasion and expansion, they could not even maintain the results they had already achieved. Their defense line was constantly compressed and retreated, gradually drifting further and further away from the Falling Star Sea coalition forces. Between the forces of both sides, a buffer zone formed by the terrifying underwater race.

Their losses in personnel and equipment were enormous, but because of population expansion and tribal form, they still retained great mobilization and combat capabilities. Even from the land they occupied, they still had troops and equipment being continuously replenished.

On some larger islands, the orcs have retained larger and more complete structures, relying on fishery and fresh water resources, as well as the air supply routes they have established, to defend these islands tightly... Some islands are very suitable for ground defense due to their terrain.

The orcs' aerial capability comes from a large flying beast that they have tamed and raised. Although it is also called a wyvern, it has no similarities with Yang Sheng's or the one in the Yamaguchi Mountain world. If you have to describe it, it is somewhat similar to the 80s version of the Proto-Dragon in the Yamaguchi Mountain world, but in this world it is a lower-level dragon beast.

High-level dragons like "Lina" would never acknowledge that this dragon beast is also a dragon. However, as an individual raised by humans, she does not identify very strongly with her dragon identity.

The physical strength of this dragon beast is very strong. When moving on the ground, its two wings are folded into wing crutches to assist in crawling. Although its movements are a bit strange, it is still agile. It also has certain magic and breathing abilities, and strong flying and load-bearing capabilities. It can be used for large-scale logistical supplies, and is considered a very powerful and practical aerial mount.

In the past, the only shortcoming of this dragon beast was that it ate too much. The original purpose of the orc tribe that tamed this dragon beast was not to develop it into a mount, but to compete with it for the right to hunt and distribute food.

However, when competing with their own kind and waging wars, this tribe found that this dragon beast was extremely useful, so it was retained and became a fixed war unit. After the orcs formed a coalition and invaded the Falling Star Sea, they also obtained the high-quality and abundant seafood resources here, thus solving the food problem that had been bothering them before... This is probably also the reason why they would rather continue to invest manpower and material resources than give up occupying the island and choose to withdraw after the action was frustrated.

……

Eclipse Moon Island, the headquarters of the Carved Fire Clan.

This island was not called this name before, but because of the orc army's extermination policy, not only did all the residents on the island die, many also became food for the orcs.

After being assigned to the Kehuo clan, Kangbakte Kehuo could not find the specific name of this place, so he simply renamed it according to the customs of his own clan.

The area of ​​Eclipse Moon Island exposed above the sea is not large, only about thirty or forty square kilometers, but the base of the island is not small. There is a shallow water area several kilometers wide around it. When the tide is high, it is only as high as an orc. When the tide is low, a large beach will be exposed, which is full of various edible seafood. It is a place with very rich food production.

Crabs as big as washbasins, shrimps as thick as arms, and various kinds of sea fish can be seen everywhere.

Even though orcs are all big-bellied men, this beach alone can feed thousands of them.

However, after eating a large amount of seafood, Kangbact understood why the population was growing slowly even though there was so much food on the sea.

A lot of his tribesmen suffered from diarrhea, including himself who had some mild symptoms. This diarrhea seemed to have nothing to do with physical strength or not, and was entirely the result of eating a lot of seafood.

The Carvehide Clan is a natural faction among the orcs. Most of their members follow ancient customs and do not feed on other races like other demon factions do... But after all, the basic physique of orcs is there. The Carvehide Clan orcs are just relatively civilized and do not have such dietary customs, which does not mean they cannot eat. Moreover, because they follow tradition, although their overall number is smaller than that of other orcs, their individual size and strength are among the best among orcs, and their stomachs will not have any problems even if they eat raw carrion.

But even with such a physique and stomach, they suffered a defeat in the face of fresh seafood.

Also because of tradition, the Carvefire Clan had the highest proportion of shamans and orcs with some herbalism skills. So even though they suffered from severe diarrhea, which was considered an epidemic, there was no loss of personnel.

Moreover, because the Kehuo Clan had made great achievements in camp construction and management, the sanitary conditions of the garrison had always been kept good. Unlike the camps of other orc clans, there had not been a large-scale outbreak of diarrhea, making the entire garrison stink.

The Carving Fire Clan was not only allocated one new territory, Eclipse Moon Island, but hundreds of new territories of various sizes.

Most of them have been abandoned by them, and only a dozen large islands such as Eclipse Island have been retained. They rely on the communication spells of dragon beast aircrew and shaman priests to maintain their own daily information and dispatch exchanges with the entire orc force.

The Carveh Clan was not the only orc who was good at operating warships and engaging in naval warfare. In addition, they saw the opportunity early and took the initiative to gather their troops and garrisons, so they suffered very little loss in the harassment war led by two women.

At this time, their chief, Combact, was patrolling the beach with the clan's chief shaman.

Although they were on patrol, as the two soul figures of the Carving Fire Clan, they did not have any guards around them. Kangbact was nearly three meters tall and only wore simple armor. His huge and strong pectoral muscles were exposed to the sea breeze. He was also a rare straight-backed orc among the orcs, so he looked particularly tall.

"This war...should have been lost the moment the great chief was killed?"

Combact lowered the volume. The resonance effect brought by his huge body cavity and chest muscles made his voice sound like a subwoofer.

The great shaman Kehuo was quite old, with a hunched back and leaning on a staff. He looked particularly short, but his exposed arms were still strong. Most of his face was covered by a one-piece hood, and only his snow-white beard that dragged to his chest and half of his wrinkled cheeks and chin could be seen.

"If you stand up, the orcs still have hope of electing a qualified chieftain, and this war may not be a complete failure."

Combact held his war hammer in one hand, put his other hand on his brow, looked out to the sea in the distance, and said:

"So what? The secret to our clan's strength is tradition, but if he becomes the chief now, he will inevitably break our tradition. Dad, do you want me to be the one who sets an example of eating raw meat and drinking blood? Although I admit that he is indeed an orc with ability and vision, and I agree with his approach of treating orcs as a whole, I cannot agree with the means he chose."

The chief shaman seemed to have come out for a walk with him only and was not performing any scout duties, as if walking alone had exhausted all his energy.

"A lone wolf that has left the tribe cannot survive the cold winter... A cub without its mother is only food for other wild animals... Moreover, even if we follow tradition... we are still facing the crisis brought by the expansion of the tribe... There are only a few pastures, forests, and hunting grounds left... We can no longer divide the tribe... Even if we set up a new Carving Fire Tribe, there is no land to accommodate them..."

Hearing this topic, Combact snorted in the unique orcish way. This was also a problem that had always bothered him.

Even though they had always followed tradition, experienced clan mothers would eliminate defective orcs from the moment they were born. Before they reached adulthood, the young and middle-aged orcs of the Carvefire Clan would also undergo several trials that strictly adhered to tradition, and a large number of individuals with bad luck and insufficient strength would be eliminated. Even so, the clan's population had been growing, and by his generation, there was no land left to accommodate new members.

This was also the reason why he agreed to participate in this expedition war, because the previous great chief had promised to bring them a new era... If it hadn't died, Kangbaket, as a vested interest, might have chosen to remain silent and support it, but it is dead. In a sense, this also means that the path it led is not feasible.

After a moment of silence, the chief of the Kehuo clan said:

"Daddy"

Great Shaman: “?”

"The reason why a lone wolf becomes a lone wolf and dies in the harsh winter is because the tribe actively abandons it and chooses not to help or protect it. In other words, the existence of the lone wolf will cause the tribe to be unable to obtain enough food in the hunting grounds...so it must die. This is our tradition."

The Great Shaman nodded slowly.

"We are the strongest and most capable of fighting among the orcs because we follow tradition. Before competing with other orcs for pastures, forests, and hunting grounds, we will first fight among our clan? Cleansing? Elimination? Anyway, the number of children who were thrown to death in the valley by orc maidens will only be more than the number of enemies I killed. This is the secret of our strength."

The Great Shaman paused and nodded again.

"I agreed to join in before, not only because if we don't do this, our Carved Fire Clan will become an outlier among the orcs. Compared with this expedition war, we will become the target of all orcs' crusade, but also because I think the concept of the Great Chief is the orc nanny in our clan, our three major trials of hunting sheep, hunting cattle and hunting wolves. He magnified our "tradition" to all foreign races, putting all of us orcs, humans, elves, or dwarves together to fight, cleanse and eliminate them..."

Having said that, Combact stopped and placed the hammer on his shoulder on the beach.

"If he can keep winning, he defeats the humans, cleanses the elves, and eliminates the dwarves... it means that the traditions he practices are right. It has nothing to do with justice and fairness, but it is right. In the face of the survival of the clan and the orcs as a whole, my personal wishes are not that important, but..."

"He was defeated and died under the attack of two humans. No matter what methods those two humans used, he was defeated. In addition to him, many outstanding warriors and excellent chiefs died that day."

Kangbaket Kehuo looked down from above, gazing

Looking into the great shaman’s dim eyes.

“So, I think it’s him and his practices and ideas that are eliminated, including our traditions, which are no longer feasible!”

The great shaman first slowly opened his eyes, his cloudy pupils became clear, and his eyes changed from old and feeble to as sharp as a knife, but soon, the old orc's face was filled with shock and confusion - he accepted Combact's words, and also fell into self-denial.

……

John Wick has been having some troubles lately.

What troubled him was not a thing but the object, the nominal and actual commander of the submarine - Hope Winter.

His immediate boss.

What bothered him was not that he and her did not like each other or that they were finding fault with each other, but that they liked each other... or rather, Hope liked him and launched a pursuit of him without any hesitation.

This made John very distressed.

What troubled him was not Hope's age. Hope was not young anymore. She was an adult woman by any country's standards. Moreover, because of her fitness and training, her height was no less than that of him, who was 1.85 meters tall. It was not because she was strong. Her figure and strong body were completely suitable for John, so he could accept it.

It’s not because Hope is not pretty enough. Although Hope’s facial features do not conform to Yang Sheng’s aesthetic, in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, her facial proportions are symmetrical and she is a real beauty, just like the heroine Jo in “Dexter”.

Beauty is originally a very subjective thing. Although a large part of it is universal standards, a large part of it is personal preference. At least as far as Hope's appearance is concerned, John is very satisfied.

John is very handsome (refer to Keanu Reeves), and he is also a talented person. He has never been to the [Magic Skills Academy] to train, but just relying on the basic panel, he has the strength that makes Hope admire him.

If it were a competition, John could not beat Hope, or many other kids in the academy, but if it came to a fight without any scruples or restrictions, he could easily wipe out a small team of elites in the academy while remaining safe and sound.

Influenced by her mother, Hope is not attracted to weak boys. Instead, she favors John, a ruthless and taciturn type. Plus, given John's appearance and the fact that Hope herself is old enough to fall in love, it is normal for her to be fascinated by him.

In Crown Eagle Mountain, especially after entering the "Misty Realm Space", the difference in their identities and status was no longer a problem. The real obstacle for the two to be together... to be more precise, John was unilaterally concerned about the identities and positions of the two at that time.

It wasn't because of Merry that he didn't dare to accept Hope's courtship.

But now John likes this job in the special operations team very much, and even enjoys it.

More money and less work, no need to intrigue with colleagues, as long as they abide by the rules set by Yang Sheng, they can use force without restrictions during the operation. John also likes to explore unknown areas, and may be a little addicted to adrenaline. He is also very fascinated by the thrill of action.

Not to mention punishing the bad guys, if they can successfully rescue the survivors, their deeds will be broadcast on TV and they will be respected by pedestrians walking on the street. John also likes this feeling.

Overall, this was his dream job, so he didn't want to lose it.

However, any violent department is always subject to the most controls. This special operations brigade used to have lawyers giving them lessons, and later there was a person called political commissar to give them ideological lessons... In addition to these, no one knows who stipulated that lovers or couples who have established a marriage relationship cannot serve here at the same time.

Therefore, once he accepts Hope's courtship, one of them will have to be transferred from this position and can no longer continue to serve in the special operations team.

Although he didn't have much contact with Yang Sheng, he knew his rules of conduct very well. Regardless of whether this rule was written by him or not, since it existed, it meant that he agreed with it and would definitely enforce it. He would never let Hope off the hook just because Hope was someone close to him.

From a colleague's perspective, John admired Hope's learning ability and practical skills very much, and he didn't want to lose this ideal action partner.

From a work perspective, he doesn't want to lose this job.

So he was very conflicted, because from a male and female perspective, he really liked Hope.

After weighing it for a long time, which was a long time of procrastination, John also made a decision, in addition to proving that Hope was not a flash in the pan, but took this relationship seriously and never gave up.

He didn't want to lose this rare love - he would never admit that he was lusting after Hope's body, it was all just love.

He wrote a resignation report. Since he had no authority to enter the Low Mountain Villa, he could not find Yang Sheng and his two secretaries, so he handed the resignation report to Meili.

"Boy, it seems like you are planning to accept Hope's pursuit!?"

After taking a quick look at his resignation letter and putting his things down, the de facto head of Guanying Mountain looked at him unkindly.
