Last Totem Novel - Chapter 583
Chapter 583 Territory
His eyes flashed, as if he was in nothingness, his body floating in the air.
According to the theories of scholars, if the unit universe (plane) is regarded as a glass ball, then the multiverse can be regarded as an endless sea with countless glass balls deposited on it. The medium between glass spheres, that is, the “sea water” immersed in it, is called “power matter”.
Power matter is an unknown hypothetical substance, and human research on it is only at the hypothetical stage. Scholars have found that the time required to cross any spatial rift is equal. So they speculated that in power matter, the distance and velocity between any two points are equal, and the time required to move from any point A to any point B is equal. In other words, in the multiverse, there is no concept of proximity or proximity between the unit universe and the unit universe.
However, in human perception, it was only an instant. Even if there was a subtle difference, it was impossible to detect it.
After passing through the planar gate, his vision suddenly became clear, and the world was covered in white. Everywhere he looked, there was pure white snow. The seven-colored aurora hung on the horizon, like silk cloth and veil covering the sky, soft and swaying, but also like a mirage, illusory, quiet and mysterious.
Below the approach bridge, there was a lively open space. Various types of vehicles came and went. Groups of guards wearing white military overcoats, long boots, and rifles trotted away. Groups of transport workers wearing cotton clothes and rubber shoes gathered, trampled on the snow, and used carts to carry all kinds of supplies.
At the checkpoint, Tie Zha received a small book called the Aurora Plane Survival Handbook.
Flipping through it, he saw that there were all sorts of notices and questions and answers written inside.
1. It’s very cold here. It’s between minus thirty and forty degrees all year round. Please bring your own materials to defend against the cold.
2. There are only ice and snow, mountains and auroras here. Please bring your own rations.
3. The communication signal has already covered the entire Nether River.
4. The plane map is already in the shared state and can be downloaded to a portable device for viewing. At present, there are 103 war zones. The red zone represents the crowded state, the green zone represents the normal state, and the grey zone represents the deficient state.
5. Ways of obtaining merit:
A. Effective proof of killing the enemy;
B. Complete the tasks issued by the person in charge of the theatre.
Note: When accepting a task, a certain amount of margin is required to ensure the completion of the task. If the task fails, the margin will be deducted.
6. What should we do when we encounter demon warriors?
Answer: Kill them all.
7. What should we do when we encounter demon civilians?
Answer: Kill them all.
The demons had no civilians. Even children possessed the combat strength of adult human males. To underestimate them would be to pay a heavy price.
8. What should we do with the prisoners?
A: Whatever you like.
Under article 36, subparagraph 2, of the Human Pact, alien prisoners are part of the spoils of war and the victorious party has the right to dispose of them at will.
9. If you are killed or captured, what responsibilities and duties will the World Council bear?
A: There is no responsibility, but there is an obligation to exchange your contributions for effective resources, to hand them over to your family, or to redeem your freedom.
This was an all-out war of a bounty nature, redeeming merits for rewards, and the pensions were the responsibility of their respective organizations.
Ten, how should we deal with capturing the demon royal clan?
Congratulations, you’ve won the lottery!
Each confirmed pure-blooded Demon captive could be exchanged for 200,000 merit points, equivalent to two viscount titles.
…
There were many more things that Tie Zha didn’t look at, because those questions had nothing to do with him. For example, “Capturing the Demon Prince, how should we deal with it?” “Capture the Demon King’s Daughter. What should we do?” “Capturing a demon general, what should we do?”
Another example: “The price of harassing the Dawn expeditionary army camp–burning.” “Disclosure of military intelligence to the demons will lead to a first-degree felony.”
Another example: “Responsibilities and obligations regarding environmental protection.” “What should we do with the domestic waste?” “What should we do with the non-recyclable garbage?” Wait.
After reading the manual, Tie Zha casually threw it aside, picked up the communicator, and retrieved the map of the Aurora Plane. He didn’t download the shared version. He was using Notre Dame’s internal version, which was marked with more detailed information.
After browsing for a while, he chose an expeditionary army base to the east of the Nether River and showed it to the Black Pig King who was driving.
“War Zone 62, how do I get there?” The Black Pig King asked in confusion. With their status, the further away they were from the expeditionary army, the better.
“I have a brother there.” Tie Zha replied. The theatre he had chosen was under the responsibility of Hildebrand Sujia. Before coming here, he and Hagrid had seen the war zone map and made their decision. Although Seventh Brother did not know of their existence, blood was thicker than water. As elder brothers, they had the responsibility to protect their younger brothers.
Moments later, Tie Zha and the Black Pig King led the convoy out of the open space for the transfer purpose and drove out of the fortress.
The spatial gate of the Aurora Plane was called the “Gate of Scarlett,” and its naming came from the same source as the “Gate of Satre” in Desert Five and the “Gate of Freya” in Qiman’s dreams. In ancient myths, Scarlett was the god of ice and snow, Seth was the god of the desert, and Freya was the god of beauty and love. However, these three gods and the gods that Notre Dame believed in were not of the same divine lineage. They belonged to legends passed down from even more ancient times in the Wilderness. There were two Master Gods, Odin, who was in charge of lightning, and Niyod, who was in charge of the sea.
Outside Scarlett’s Gate, a large number of mercenary groups were gathered. Almost every few dozen meters along the way, one could see a camp. The camp was filled with wooden boxes of packaged goods. Some of the soldiers leaned against the boxes, some sat directly on them, some were dumbfounded, some were smoking, and some were whispering to each other.
When the Black Wolf Legion’s convoy passed by, the guards turned a blind eye and did not even raise their heads. It seemed that they had long since become numb.
Ever since acting Marshal Eva Green issued the war mobilization order in the name of the Temple Princess, the gates of the Aurora Plane had been packed with traffic and flowed endlessly. Countless mercenary groups had come from all over the world to participate in the war. Because their numbers are too large, incidents of mistaken killings due to similar symbols and mistaken camps occur from time to time.
The mercenaries were originally ruffians seeking a living at the edge of the saber, but when they gathered together in such a dense manner, there were naturally endless conflicts. The Dark Jungle Garrison officers were tired of running and dealing with all sorts of contradictions.
In this regard, the World Parliament has also specifically passed a bill called the “foreign war team comprehensive quality assessment.” If the mercenary group performs well in personnel management, household waste pollution, and other aspects, they will receive a maximum of 3% bonus in exchange for merit points.
However, after this bill came out, its effect was very small. Many mercenary corps commanders proposed that “30% is more or less the same.”
From this, it could be seen how difficult it was to manage the mercenaries. Their legal awareness was generally very poor. For example, Tie Zha could have gotten a letter of recommendation from the City Hall of Windsand Castle through the formal procedures. However, he felt that it was troublesome. He thought that he had the red-robed warrior’s badge and immediately came, but he was almost rejected.
In addition, the mercenaries lived every day with their knives licking their blood. Today, they didn’t know what to do tomorrow. They dared to do anything with their temper, and they were even more unscrupulous when they left the safe zone. They were no different from bandits and bandits. Sequoia’s Evgeny and Oshita Tokuda of Sakata Industries are examples. Where safety is high, they wear suits and ties, are reasonable and obedient, and look human. However, when they arrived at the low-security zone, they pulled on their ties and ripped off their masks. They were wild beasts, raping and plundering, eating and drinking people, and robbing others. There was only one thing they could not do, and nothing they did not dare to do.
Due to the special situation of Silver City, the World Council had always turned a blind eye to matters outside the control area. Even if there was sufficient evidence, as long as it did not involve the interests of the nobles, it would not be settled.
About half an hour later, the Black Wolf Legion’s convoy left the temporary camping area of the mercenary corps. Although this place was paved with simple gravel roads, it was still somewhat potholed. Sandtrucks and motorcycles with snow tyres were naturally not a problem, but large trucks were so difficult that their speed dropped to 30 kilometers per hour.
Just as Tie Zha and the others were heading towards theater 62, the Blackwing Family’s Quentin Mordleton commanded the family’s troops to move into theater 51, 52, and 53 at theater 52 headquarters.
As the leader of the thirteen great nobles, the Mordleton Clan’s side branches were strong and powerful, chasing after the great nobles of the central region. The Black Winged Left Guards led by Quentin was one of the most excellent forces in the world, so they naturally had to take charge of more war zones.
A few hours ago, the forces of Silver City No. 13, led by Jiang Xiao, the Jiang Family’s Patriarch, entered the25 th Theater of Operations. A few days ago, under the leadership of Spirit Snake Holy Maiden Bi Tianye, the Snake Race troops had already moved into theaters 98 and 99.
Within a few short days, all the major powers of Silver City had entered the city one after another. Once the war is won, these theatres will become their territory.
The Crescent Alliance has five war zones, the Lombar family has seven war zones, HH Company has applied for one, and the Lamb family has moved into two war zones …
On the Purple Eye Demon Clan’s side, the tribal warriors poured out of the spatial gate like a flood. Together, they dragged carts full of daily necessities and combat equipment. The people of Elda do not have specialized logistical staff and are all under the responsibility of their families.
Their division of territory was based on tribes as the smallest unit. Also at the end of the war, ownership of occupied land was acquired. For example, the Cast Fire Hammer was obtained in the territory of Desert Five through the migration of the Imperial Clan during the war.
Both humans and the people of Elda distribute ownership of land through war. This rule remained unchanged. Only the bravest and most powerful warriors could become Lords. Of course, in peacetime, they could also use gold coins to buy it. However, the price was not cheap, and the purchase process was also troublesome. It was far from being as simple and straightforward as a war.
For example, Cyrus Investment Co., Ltd. ‘s Chifeng Stronghold and Pingye Stronghold only have mining rights in the surrounding mining areas, but have no title to land. Although the actual control was in the hands of the company, it was still nominally owned by the City Hall of Windsand Castle. Unless the swarm of insects or the demons launched a large-scale attack, Cyrus Investment Co., Ltd. Would be able to resist with all its might and obtain a large number of merits before officially occupying that land.
As time passed, the atmosphere between the two sides became more and more tense, and the flames of war were about to erupt.
