Lord Ostia, start by capturing the Dark Elf Knight alive

The fastest, most ruthless and most vicious plan to unify this continent.

However, Old Black Snake was not in a hurry. Instead, he walked leisurely to a cabinet beside the room and took out a map of the entire continent. It was not as detailed as Odis's military map, but the approximate mountains, rivers, and terrain of various countries were all clearly marked.

Kasheina is an ordinary person in this world, not even a professional, so she doesn't have any extraordinary skills. If she wants to conduct a large-scale deduction and analysis, she can only bring the map over.

"Where did you get this?"

Odis was stunned when he looked at the map of the continent. He thought to himself, you have only been here for a few days, and you have even got this thing. Should I say, you are worthy of being called Old Black Snake? It turns out that no matter where you go, you can make a big career.

"Miss Kotoko's place."

After the old black snake came to this world and was sent to Iwanaga Kotoko by Odis, she asked a lot of questions about various situations in this world. Fortunately, the person next to her was Iwanaga Kotoko, who had been here for a long time and was entrusted with important tasks by Odis. She had extremely high authority and she had read various books about the history, humanities and legends of this world in Odis's library.

Unlike other people, Iwanaga Kotoko possesses the divine nature of the God of Wisdom, so she can read very fast. It is not uncommon for her to read ten lines at a glance, almost a whole page at a glance, and she can remember everything she sees.

It can be said that if it weren't for Iwanaga Kotoko's identity that restricted her from practicing, Odis might have seen a monster that directly rushed to a legendary wizard in seven days.

Although Iwanaga Kotoko was unable to practice, the accumulation of experience was still there. When Old Black Snake asked her questions, Iwanaga Kotoko explained everything to him in detail.

When I collected enough intelligence, I already knew who Old Black Snake was. He was a conspirator who had lived for tens of thousands of years and had seen everything.

After getting the answer, Odis immediately guessed the situation and did not ask any further questions. Instead, he calmly waved his hand, signaling Old Black Snake to continue.

Old Black Snake spread the map on the table in front of the sofa, pointed to the location of the Shivaash Territory and said, "To be honest, your current location is really bad. There are no natural passes to defend, no mountains or rivers to hunt for fish, and there is not even a place that can be used as a ferry port."

Chapter 121: Put it in your pocket?

"From a geographical point of view, your place is almost the most unsuitable place to establish a country. Even the grasslands to the northwest are more suitable for establishing a country than here."

"Not to mention the bad climate here. There is snow in June every year. From any perspective, this place is not suitable to be the rear base for unifying the world."

Having said that, Kashena glanced at Odis and found that he was not angry or objecting, so she continued speaking.

"Moreover, there are many monsters commanded by the Black Queen behind us, and the Seven Shield Alliance blocking our way in front of us. In this situation, even if we want to expand, it will be extremely difficult."

"If you want to unify this continent, the most important thing is to have a stable and peaceful rear area to provide you with sufficient supplies and endurance. Without these things, even if you are given a million soldiers, what can you eat and drink?"

"If the enemy is not stupid, they will definitely fortify their walls and shrink their defenses, leaving you no way to attack."

Kasheina's words made Odis break out in a cold sweat. These words really hit the nail on the head. After taking over this area, he really had no qualifications to go any further. Simply put, his road was blocked.

It was just like the outcome when Qin's Hangu Pass was captured by the six kingdoms, with no way out to the east.

Many people are curious about why Odis has hardly started any war in the past five years. The reason is that when there was no territory before, people just robbed others directly. But after they had the territory, all kinds of things started to happen.

It can be said that Odis has had a very hard time in the past few years without the help of the system.

"If we want to break the impasse, the best way is to completely eliminate the Black Queen. It would be best if we capture her alive. Remember, don't kill her if you can. The presence or absence of the Black Queen will have a huge impact on the situation going forward!"

"Besides, the Black Queen can turn the North into a barren land, so naturally after she disappears, the land will gradually recover. The monsters under her command are also the best pioneers for attacking cities and strongholds. Anyway, it won't be a pity if she dies, right?"

"Why not kill?"

Odis frowned and asked.

"She is alive to deter others. It would be even better to let the Black Queen escape, or to claim that she has never been captured after she is captured. The Black Queen is too famous in this world. As long as she is alive, the whole continent will have a common enemy. If she dies, who will that enemy be?"

Kashena looked at Odysseus with a smile on her face. The meaning was very clear. It was naturally you, the King of the North who had the most powerful military force in the world and was most likely to start a war.

Faced with this answer, Odis could only smile bitterly. Why has there been no progress in the past few years? Just like the blockade of the Celestial Empire by the great powers back then, he was also blockaded by all the countries on the mainland.

In a sense, he was even more miserable. After all, at least he was self-sufficient in food, salt and iron back then, while Odis had to rely on import and export trade for these things.

As you can imagine, this is extremely difficult.

Although the North is large in area, there is not as much land suitable for farming and living as one would think, and the number of soldiers that can be supported is also not as good as other places. Even if Odysseus lets the soldiers cultivate the land, it can only alleviate the situation slightly. The number of soldiers keeps decreasing, and in the end, there is only a legion of less than 100,000 people left.

Yes, even if the Black Beast Legion is included, Odysseus's current military strength is actually less than 130,000. A fully staffed knight group has 30,000 people, and Odysseus has a total of three.

The Black Beast Legion has slightly more people, but this army can be considered half of Wolfe's private army. They do not receive food and wages from Odysseus on weekdays, and Odysseus will not take away the soldiers' personal gains and captured materials during battles.

"So, the best way is to capture her alive. If we let her go, not only other countries will be worried about her, but we will also be worried about her. As for after she is captured, you can do whatever you want with her, sir."

"I heard that the Black Queen is a great beauty."

Odis coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment. His reputation as a womanizer had spread all over the continent. In the past, he could only deceive his enemies, but now even his own people knew about it.

"Since you have agreed to my plan, I naturally have a way to protect your reputation. Here I suggest that you send a trustworthy person to pretend to betray you and remove you from the conspiracy."

"Whether it's backstabbing the coalition or unifying the monsters, you can blame them all on the other side. And you are the hero who was betrayed by your subordinates and sold out by your allies, but still managed to defeat the Black Queen."

"If the plan goes well, you will have defeated the Black Queen and truly taken over the northern land. Those monsters that can work will be kept, and those that can't will be killed and buried in the ground as fertilizer."

"After being stabbed in the back by you, bah, and slaughtered by the cunning Black Queen's army of monsters, the coalition forces will need at least three years to recover. It is not that easy to put together an army that has received rigorous military training and combat experience."

"The most correct thing you did before was to win over the two princesses of the First and Second Fortresses. Moreover, it seems that the Kaguya priestess of the Third Fortress was also taken in by you, bah."

"The biggest obstacle on our way south is the Seven Shields Alliance, and the most difficult checkpoints to overcome are the First and Second Fortresses. We will have to wait until the defeat of the human coalition is certain."

"After you capture or kill the Black Queen, you immediately withdraw and make those monsters pretend to kill the human coalition. And you, fight your way through the countless monsters. When the human coalition finds out it's you, they will naturally follow you and evacuate in the direction of the Seven Shields Alliance."

"At this time, you can lead an army and blend into the defeated army. Under the pretext of helping to guard the monsters, you can seize the Seven Shield Alliance's stronghold and hold it. You can also ask the alliance of nations to provide food, salt, iron and other supplies."

"At this moment, the coalition forces of various countries have just been defeated, and people must be panicked and dare not oppose. Even if some people do not believe it, you can order Captain Wolf to pretend to betray outside and lead the Black Beast Mercenaries and the monster army to pretend to attack the city."

"At that time, the countries on the continent will certainly agree to any of your requests. All we ask is that you hold the pass and maintain peace for a while. Once the monsters and the army are reunited, you can march straight in and conquer the world."

"However, remember not to delay and integrate the monsters as quickly as possible. As for the monster leaders, it's best if they obey. If they don't, just kill them."

Kashena's voice was not loud and was very pleasant to hear, but it did make Odis feel creepy. The look in his eyes when he looked at her was as if he was looking at a poisonous snake coiled there and spitting out its tongue.

This plan is a chain of events that takes into account human nature and human nature to the fullest.

Chapter 122 If you have nothing, then use your life to make up for it!

"Among the countries on the continent, the most powerful are the Elf Kingdom and the Dwarf Kingdom, followed by the Holy Kingdom and the Mage Kingdom."

As Kashena spoke, she reached out and picked up the dried fruits beside her and placed them on the map one by one.

"What you need to do is to stabilize the Holy Kingdom, the Mage Kingdom, and... the Commercial United Kingdom. Not only stabilize them, but also win them over. Especially the Commercial United Kingdom. Before the trend of unification is formed, you must not turn against it."

"Merchants value profit. As long as you give them enough benefits, they can provide you with anything. Don't mention blockades and prohibitions. They don't care about those things."

“有10%的利润,它就保证到处被使用；有20%的利润,它就活跃起来；有50%的利润,它就铤而走险；为了100%的利润,它就敢践踏一切人间法律；有300%的利润,它就敢犯任何罪行,甚至绞首的危险。”

"If there is a 500 percent profit, they would even dare to sell the rope to hang themselves!"

"As long as you promise enough benefits, they will naturally offer you enough supplies. Don't mind their big appetite. You can give them whatever they want. You will get it back in return in the future anyway."

"Besides, you will get as much as you get. If you have nothing, you will have to pay with your life!"

Kasheina's voice was not loud, but it was filled with indescribable indifference. That was the real indifference to life. Odis looked at the old black snake in front of him and suddenly thought of a phrase: Heaven is ruthless and treats all things as straw dogs.

Well, this sentence doesn't seem to be quite accurate. In her eyes, human life? Nothing can be discarded.

After saying this, Kasheina stretched out two fingers, picked up the preserved fruit that symbolized the United Kingdom of Commerce on the map, threw it into her mouth, and chewed it carefully. Although it was a very ordinary action, Odis seemed to see the United Kingdom of Commerce turned into a sea of ​​fire, with corpses everywhere.

"Will we settle the score later?"

Odis has never had a good impression of capitalists. The Commercial United Kingdom has its reasons for existence, but it also has enough reasons for its demise. The operation of a country cannot be separated from businessmen, but it cannot be separated from capitalists.

There is an old saying that goes, watch him build a tall building, watch him entertain guests, watch him...the building collapses!

Having money is not enough after all. Only if you have fists can you have power. The power of fists is power!

"The Holy Kingdom of this world seems to be inextricably linked to the gods of this world. I suggest that we win them over directly instead of fighting them. Over the years, the faith in the gods of the Holy See has taken root among humans. We can keep the Holy See in the future, but we can't turn it into a state religion in the form of a country."

"After all, according to my investigation, those paladins and nuns are really doing things."

"For a sect like this, staying is the best outcome."

Odis nodded. The Holy Kingdom was actually the farthest away from the North. The reason why it was willing to participate was that the church in this world was reliable and not as hypocritical and disgusting as in the novels Odis had read before.

After learning about Eleonora, Odis had long thought of supporting the Holy See. With that group of holy warriors using magic to judge good and evil every day, it would be difficult for corruption to occur within the Holy See.

After all, if something went wrong, those holy warriors would really dare to kill people. Even if the Pope was corrupted, I'm afraid he would die miserably.

At this time, Kashena's fingers kept playing with the preserved fruit that represented the Holy Kingdom, but in the end she did nothing and put it back.

"As for the Mage Kingdom, I have investigated it. It is called a country, but in fact it only has one city. There is basically no need to occupy it. When you have achieved your goal, they will naturally submit a letter of surrender to you."

"Besides, the fighting power of that group of mages is too strong. If we bring them in, there is a high possibility that unknown factors will arise."

"What I dislike most is this unknown factor."

Kasheina pointed her finger at the preserved fruits from the Kingdom of Commerce, but did not pick them up to eat. Instead, she pressed them gently, very hard, until they were sliced ​​into thin slices.

"So, after uniting the monsters, you will announce to the world that the elves framed you, and say that this is a just war of revenge. Tell everyone that the first person you will fight is the elves!"

"Besides, they are just elves."

"Revenge, who can say it's not right? As you said, if the high elf goddess really did nothing, then the elves can be left behind, but she can't do nothing, right?"

"At that time, the crime of backstabbing the allies at the critical moment and causing the coalition forces to suffer a disastrous defeat can also be pinned on the elves, and your rebellious subordinate can also use this incident to clear his name."

"We are not at fault, so the only one who is at fault is the elves."

"The hatred of the entire continent is attracted to the elves, and the elves have leaves that can prolong life. What do you think will be the fate of the elves? Purely kind and pure? How could there be such a race in this world? If there was, they should have perished long ago."

"If you promise to distribute the elven noblewoman obtained from the elves and the leaves of the World Tree obtained to the kings and nobles, a very interesting scene may occur."

"The elves will be completely destroyed because of that high elf who is said to be the reincarnation of the goddess, and all of them may even become slaves of humans."

"I really want to see what expression that woman will have then. It must be very interesting."

The old black snake chuckled, looking at the preserved fruit placed on the Elf Kingdom, and tore it into a dozen pieces before eating it. After eating, he licked his lips, and his pink little tongue made people very hungry.

Odis watched this scene without being moved at all. He could understand the metaphor of the preserved fruit used by Old Black Snake, but in his heart he felt a kind of pleasure, a very ostentatious pleasure.

He had no grudges against the elves, but those elves plotted against him and even planned to take his life. No matter what the outcome would be, it would be the retribution he deserved.

Just like a soldier going onto the battlefield, he must be prepared to kill and be killed, otherwise he will only die faster.

"With the Elven Kingdom, you will have a real rear base. Although the elves' territory is not large, it has fertile soil, dense forests, and a river that is large enough for shipping and trade."

“This is the foundation and capital that you can truly use to conquer the world.”

"After the fall of the Elven Kingdom, your next target should be the Kingdom of Lufen. When you asked that woman named Lilia to become your fiancée, weren't you already prepared for this?"

Chapter 123 I hope the name of this country is Ursus

Kashena stopped here. There was no point in saying more. With these two pieces of land, Odis's next steps would become unstoppable. Unifying the continent was no longer a dream, but a tangible future!

"Today I know that listening to your words is worth ten years of reading."

At this moment, Odis suddenly had a sense of déjà vu as if Liu Xuande met Zhuge Kongming in the thatched cottage and understood what it meant to divide the world into three parts.

"I plan to set up my own intelligence agency. I will give you the authority to use any human, material, or other resources you want as long as they do not affect the upcoming war."

After confirming Kasheina's bonus, Odis directly gave her a huge authority. This woman was so scary that Odis didn't even want to stay in the same room with her.

The immortal black snake is indeed a strange and terrifying existence.

"I have only one request."

Kashena smiled, stood up, and walked towards Odis gracefully.

"If you unify this continent, I hope the name of this country will be Ursus!"

Ursus, Odis was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Kashena's obsession with Ursus was so deep that she even planned to rebuild an Ursus in this world.

After a brief silence, Odis nodded and agreed to this request. In fact, it didn't matter what the country was called, and even what the city was called. Just call it Ursus, just to commemorate the red country back then.

The country that single-handedly set the world on fire.

A country that was born from the noblest ideals of mankind but destroyed by the dirtiest desires of mankind.

Even if they are unwilling to admit it, in that darkest era, it was indeed that group of people who first lit the red flame.

Odis's thoughts turned over and over. When he looked up, he found that Kashena had disappeared. It seemed that she had left the room while he was distracted. Odis did not leave in a hurry. He just leaned on the sofa for a long time before turning around and leaving.

However, this time, there was no confusion in his eyes. The road ahead was clear, and anyone who stood in his way would die!

--------------

In the north, in the territory of Shivaash, Xumi City.

When Iwanaga Kotoko saw Odis, she easily noticed the difference in Odis's eyes and aura at the moment. A strange color flashed in her eyes, but it quickly turned into a look of understanding.

"Have you met her?"
