Either they were killed or thrown into a mine and worked to death (there are many mines in the desert).

After announcing Wang Que's order, the man looked at the prisoners again and asked, "Who is your leader?"

The prisoners quickly looked at one person.

The tall figure stood up from the ground: "I am the leader, my name is Kalan."

The man nodded slightly. "You desert people, naming is pretty easy."

The leader of the Cassia tribe is called Cassia, and the leader of the Karan tribe is called Karan.

It is obviously a similar cultural heritage.

But unfortunately, similar civilizations gave birth to a pair of mortal enemies.

"Come with me, the boss wants to see you."

With that said, he turned and left.

The tall desert man named Kalan hurried to follow.

However, his hands were tied behind his back, making it a little awkward for him to walk.

The center of the Karan tribe.

Wang Que flipped through the population information compiled by his colleagues.

As sworn enemies, the Kalan and Cassia tribes have similar population proportions, but have a population that is about a hundred more.

Probably because the oasis they occupy is larger.

After this battle, there were only about 1,300 Karan people left.

From this perspective, the number of deaths is almost the same as that of the Cassia people.

"Boss, the people are here."

As I was thinking, I heard the waiter's voice.

"Well, go ahead and do your work." Wang Que nodded to the waiter and sent him off before looking at the tall but somewhat timid desert man. "Are you the leader?"

Karan nodded: "Yes, I am the leader of the Karan tribe. Karan, sir, the Karan tribe is willing to serve you. What Cassia can do, we can do!"

Wang Que remained silent, reaching out and throwing over a map and a pen: "Mark out all the tribes that you know of that support the Legacy of the God-King."

Although he obtained some information from Cassia, maps are something that need to be compared.

Without any hesitation, Karan took the map and pen, lay on the ground and started to draw.

As the leader, he naturally knew the situation of the surrounding tribes.

Soon, small tribes were circled on the map.

"Here you go, sir."

He respectfully returned the map to Wang Que.

Wang Que took it and took a look. It was not much different from the map given by the Cassia tribe, but there were a few more markings.

"Well, go ahead and make amends."

Karan left, although he didn't know what sin he was going to atone for.

The desert people are much more obedient than Wang Que thought.

Faced with the conquerors, they did not have much resistance and seemed to be content as long as they could survive.

It’s a pity that these tribes are looting by nature and are not the people Wang Que needs.

"Keep fighting and see how many people will eventually get tired of war and choose to return to ordinary life."

Wang Que didn't have much compassion in his heart.

It is too difficult to change an adult's values. As a businessman, he does not have the time to do such a thankless task.

Therefore, war, with its meaningless blood and tears, forced them to hate plundering.

When these tribes discovered that no matter how they fought, Wang Que would not allocate resources to them, the attribute of plundering naturally disappeared.

As for how many people will die before that... Wang Que doesn't care.

Of course, it was Xingqiu who left on his own, otherwise Wang Que would have used relatively gentle means and not been so rough.

But, no matter how rough it is, it is very useful.

……

Only rested for half a day.

The floating city started up again, bringing with it warriors gathered from the Kalan tribe, and began the next round of attack.

Chapter 359 Nashida Returns

"Wang Que, Wang Que!"

late at night.

Wang Que, who was meditating, seemed to hear a shouting in his ears.

very familiar.

It's Nashida.

"Huh? Why did she come to see me?"

Wang Que was a little confused, but he quickly relaxed.

A familiar feeling of dizziness came over him, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a familiar dream.

This time, it was not the illusion of Aozang Mountain.

A huge grass-green palace with a transparent ball in the center.

Jingshan Palace, Tree King Meditation Room.

"Why did you come to see me? Have you come out and need the Heart of Thunder?"

Wang Que looked at Nashida in front of the Tree King's meditation room.

Nashida shook her head slightly: "No, although I can come out in my dreams, in reality, I am still in it."

"Then what do you want from me?"

Wang Que looked at her with a hint of interest. "Could it be that Azar attacked those merchants? That's not right. The Void's analysis of the floating city is still stuck at around 90%. Without my strength, he shouldn't be confident of turning against me."

"Could it be that someone provided him with help?"

Although Wang Que was not there, he knew everything that was going on in Xumi City.

After all, Fu Xu is still here.

News reaches the floating city every day.

Those businessmen who successfully protested have indeed continued to increase their investments under Azar's relaxed business policies.

Speaking of which, this incident allowed Azar to show off in Xumi City.

Some lower-level people who previously hated the House of Representatives now think that Hazard did a good job this time.

As merchants' investment increases, the manpower they need naturally increases.

This in turn boosted job creation in Xumi City.

Now that the lower-class people have jobs and earn more money, they naturally start to praise Hazard.

This has nothing to do with right and wrong. It's simply about supporting whoever makes my life easier.

Very simple point of view.

Therefore, at this time, Hazard should not destroy his good image. Although he does not care about the opinions of the grassroots, he is being praised now, so he will not take the initiative to seek criticism.

"No, not really." Nashida shook her head.

Wang Que was a little confused: "Then what do you want to see me for?"

After saying this, Wang Que was suddenly startled and said hesitantly: "You didn't come here for these desert people, did you?"

Nashida nodded immediately: "Yes, you brought war and bloodshed to them. Too many people died. This is not good..."

There was compassion in her expression.

Wang Que could see that she was truly distressed.

Nashida is now a very simple yet complex individual.

She wanted to do something for Xumi, but she seemed unable to do anything.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Que's expression became serious. He stared into Nashida's emerald green eyes:

"I know what you're thinking, Nashida. You think we can solve the problem through dialogue. As long as everyone sits down and talks about the problem, it can be solved, right?"

Nashida hesitated slightly, but nodded. "Xumeru has sufficient resources and technology. The desert and rainforest issues are not a problem at all. As long as everyone is willing to sit down and talk, they can all be solved."

Wang Que sneered: "Indeed, Xumi has enough resources to help the desert become prosperous, but... on what basis?"

"The resources of Xumi you mentioned are mostly from the rainforest. Why would the rainforest people use their own resources to help the desert people?"

"Nashida, the rainforest and the desert are no longer one family!"

"What you think is nothing but a fantasy in a dream."

"Let me tell you something: the weapon of criticism is never as good as the criticism of weapons."

"You only saw me starting a war and causing these desert people to die, but you didn't see that most of those who died were desert people who used to love looting."

“These people are destabilizing factors. Even if the desert and rainforest reconcile in the future, these people will still be the biggest problem you have to deal with.”

"I let them die in war, or grow to hate war, which is essentially solving future problems."

Wang Que paused slightly to give Nashida time to digest it.

After a moment, Wang Que saw a trace of thought on Nashida's face before he continued, "The problem between the rainforest and the desert isn't just a matter of differing beliefs, nor is it just a problem for either the rainforest or the desert alone."

"In the rainforest, the higher-ups of the Order of the Gods have been constantly spreading rumors about the dangers of the desert people. This has led many rainforest people to accept this claim and instinctively dislike the desert people."

"In the desert, a large number of extremist tribes support the evil Gilded Brigade. Their looting, killing, and violence perfectly align with the propaganda of the House of Edicts."

"The combined effect of these two factors has made the conflict between the rainforest and the desert even more severe."

"You see, this is the problem, so how do you think we should solve it?"

The best way to solve a problem is to solve the person who caused the problem.

Since the problems were caused by the top leaders of the House of Lords and these marauding tribes, let's deal with them.

But this is Wang Que’s point of view.

To Narcida, this was not right.

She inherited the kindness and compassion of the Great Compassionate Tree King, and it was her instinct to protect the people of Xumi and keep them alive.

Even if it was the House of the Decrees who imprisoned her, even if it was the looting Gilded Brigade.

In Nashida's heart, they are all capable of being saved.

The Order imprisoned her because she was not omniscient and omnipotent.

The Gilded Brigade looted because they didn't have enough supplies to survive.

You see, if you think this way, it feels like there is a reason for everything.

So, does that mean that as long as she becomes omniscient and omnipotent, and solves the problem of the desert people's survival, these bad things can be solved?

This is the difference between Wang Que and Nashida’s ideas.

Nashida wanted to solve the problem.

And Wang Que... chose to directly solve the problem.

Perhaps Wang Que's behavior was inhumane, but he was willing to call it: efficient.

"No, no, that's not right."

Nashida still resisted Wang Que's point of view.
