Chapter 879 Splitting the Abyss
The white clouds are floating, and Michael and the seven doves are walking above the clouds.
“Others may not know, but you, Qi Ge, know that the griffins of Erathia have just been severely damaged. If they lose farmers at this time, it will definitely cause unrest in the whole society.
Even if the griffin incident had not happened, the loss of farmers, who make up 30% of Erathia's population, was something that humans could not accept.
We, the angel race, were born out of human faith, and the number of angels directly depends on the number of humans.
Whether from the perspective of humans or angels, we cannot accept moving all the farmers to Diya."
Qi Ge nodded, but did not immediately deny Michael's statement. Instead, he changed the subject and deliberately asked:
"God, as far as I know, peasants are not included in Erathia's battle sequence, right?"
When Michael heard this, he knew what the Seven Pigeons wanted to say.
“Of course not, we can’t send a logistics unit to the battlefield.
But not having enough fighting power does not mean that it is not important enough. Qi Ge, you should know this better than anyone else.
Although, due to some historical reasons, farmers do not have a high social status in Erathia, you and I both know that farmers are the cornerstone of Erathia.”
"Of course I know." Qi Ge smiled and said:
“What I mean is that farmers are not a combat branch of the military, but a specialized logistics branch. Their specialty is growing food.
Their importance is self-evident, but you also have an idea of what kind of life they lead in Erathia.
Without power, there is no voice. They can grow food, but the right to distribute food has never been in their hands.
God Michael, imagine what will happen to these farmers when the food from the cemetery is sold to various forces at extremely low prices?"
Michael remained silent and did not answer.
Qi Ge continued:
“These farmers are the bottom of Erathia at a time when food is very precious.
When food becomes extremely cheap, life will become very, very hard for farmers who can only make a living by growing food.
Yes, our food can allow them to survive without any worries, but survival is just survival, not living.
If they want to live a better life, purchase private property, and advance, they need gold and resources.
But food is so cheap that they have lost the only way to exchange it for gold coins. They will be forced to give up their means of livelihood and turn to more strenuous work such as handicrafts and transportation.
The cheap and inexpensive food we provide will become the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Is this what you would like to see?
There is no difference between a knight and a peasant to you, the angels. No one in the human group is born to suffer.
Let the farmers come to the cemetery and I can guarantee that they will be very well taken care of.
Their food, clothing, housing and transportation will all be well met.
When traveling far, there are skeleton soldiers pulling your carriage. If you want to eat delicious food, there are farms everywhere. Clothes are purchased in bulk, which are warm in winter and cool in summer. Houses are built by the cemetery's God Yasha, so it is no problem for each family to have a small villa, as the cemetery is vast and sparsely populated anyway.
As the troops advance and experience is gained, the corresponding resources will arrive without them having to worry about anything.
They just need to do what they are best at and what they love most, and they will get everything they deserve.”
After hearing Qi Ge's words, the expression on Michael's face became softer and more conflicted.
Seeing that Michael had not answered, Qi Ge said in a deep voice:
"God Michael, you should know that not letting the peasants leave Erathia is not for the good of the peasants, but for the good of Erathia.
Farmers have already made enough contributions to Erathia, and they will make more contributions to the entire Yasa world in the future.
Such a group of people who work hard and devote their whole lives should be entitled to enjoy the benefits.
Peasants are not skeleton soldiers without intelligence or emotions. They can get tired and feel pain.
Erathia shouldn't be so selfish, and the angels... shouldn't be so selfish either."
"I see."
Michael said softly:
"Qi Ge, your idea is right. I will represent the Angel Clan and clear the obstacles for your plan.
I have only one request.
After peasants become neutral troops, you must treat them well and never use them as material for undead research.
If you fail to deliver on your promise, we will bring the farmers back, whether I am here or not, no matter what the cost."
Qi Ge breathed a sigh of relief, bowed solemnly and promised:
“As it should be!”
"Also, if there are farmers who are not used to life at the Underworld Farm and want to return to Erathia..."
Qi Ge interrupted:
“Don’t worry, the traffic between Erathia and the Underworld Farm will never be cut off, and anyone who wants to leave can leave at any time.
Not only with Erathia, our communications with the nine major forces will not be cut off.
Air, road and sea transport are fully open.”
"That's good."
Michael nodded and replied:
“The only thing that needs to be resolved now is the lord system of Erathia.
Some lords have always regarded peasants as their own private property and exploited them excessively.
It is time to change this unhealthy trend.
Don't worry, Qige. Before I leave, before the great trend of the future arrives, I will definitely hand over the extremely powerful Erathia to you."
Qi Ge was very happy. He said happily:
"God, I am waiting for good news."
"Yeah." Michael nodded, spread his wings, and flew high into the sky.
There is a gate of holy light at the entrance of the cave high in the sky, and a brilliant and glorious road leads directly to the sky.
Qi Ge raised his head and looked at the sky, feeling a little emotional.
It is rare that someone would rather harm the interests of angels than take care of the interests of farmers.
Michael has made great contributions to the fact that the angels have become the supreme faith of Erathia.
"Hey! Son-in-law!" Seeing Michael leaving, the Dark Dragon King, who was flying far away doing nothing, came over with a sly look.
Qi Ge took a look at the Dark Dragon King. Except for the dragon head, his body was almost entirely made of fantastic elemental elements. A pair of beautiful butterfly-shaped wings were looming, and various fantastic patterns would emerge from time to time.
It can be seen that he has gone further and further on the road to becoming the Dark Dragon.
"How's the negotiation going? Is that bastard Michael refusing to hand over the peasants?
If you have any problem, tell me and I will be the first to help you deal with her."
Facing the Black Dragon King's probing looks, Qi Ge chuckled in his heart and didn't take his nonsense seriously at all.
I don’t know how a serious, strong-willed girl like Moril was raised by this cynical old rogue.
If you want him to hand over the caveman, you can't use the same method you used on Michael.
If you tell Michaela that farmers have a hard life, she will shed sad tears.
If you tell the Black Dragon King that the cavemen have a hard life, he will.
Moral kidnapping only applies to moral people.
The prerequisite for questioning conscience is that the other party must have a conscience.
To deal with the Black Dragon King, we have to find another way.
Qi Ge narrowed his eyes and said softly:
“Your Majesty the Black Dragon King, God Michael is very understanding and cooperative with us. He has agreed to our plan and will soon send all the farmers to the Underworld Farm.
Oh! I really didn't expect that God Michael would be so sensible, aware of the times, and upright! He is really a role model for Yasa!"
"Ah? Ha?! Is this true?" The Black Dragon King was confused. What was going on? The script was wrong! Oh no, what tricks did Qi Ge have that could even defeat Michael?
“Isn’t it!”
Qi Ge slapped his thigh hard, feeling extremely annoyed!
"Your Majesty the Black Dragon King, I am ashamed. I am a beast, not a human. I judge others by my own standards.
I thought that God Michael might not agree, and I asked the four gods of magic, wealth, fate and peace to send out the kingdom of God to intimidate him after Michael refused.
I have even prepared a plan to force you to become a god.
But I never thought that God Michael would be so wise and righteous!
I am the villain.”
Dark Dragon King: ...
Dark Dragon King: "Fuck! Who are you hinting at? Although my daughter hasn't married you yet, I have already accepted you in my heart. You are my son-in-law.
I don't care, I am your father-in-law, you can't try to kill your relatives for the sake of justice."
The Dark Dragon King was immediately anxious. Confer Michael, OK! Confer me, no!
"How can that be possible!"
Qi Ge immediately comforted:
"You and I have been through thick and thin together, and we must come to an agreement even if we can't. How can we resort to this as a last resort?
Those are all for dealing with outsiders.
Your Majesty the Black Dragon King, I know this matter is difficult for you, but you have to do it.
The general trend is unstoppable, don't you understand? The ship has already sailed, and everyone is either on board or when the ice on the sea is broken, there is no other choice.
Michael has surrendered to the peasants, but you won't surrender to the cavemen. Everyone knows about your relationship with me. If I protect you, who will listen to my words in the future?"
Qi Ge clapped his hands vigorously, then spread his hands and said:
"We finally integrated the power of the Yasa world, but when this happened, it was split apart again.
Just think about it, my status is so high now, everyone respects me, and whatever I say is influential.
You will have to go up there eventually, and when you do, Muriel will have to take over your job.
As long as this trend can be maintained, I have the power. I have the power, so how can I lack Muriel?
But this matter is now in the public eye. If I do it once, the alliance will be broken and I will have no power in the future.
We are a community of shared interests. If I am well, you are well too, and if you are well, I am well too.
I have something to do here, and it's already too much for you not to strongly support me, and it's not appropriate to make it difficult for me. "
"Hmm..." A somewhat psychedelic black mist spurted out of the Black Dragon King's nose: "Your words are quite human."
Seeing that the Black Dragon King was somewhat tempted, he suddenly came to his senses and looked at Qi Ge suspiciously:
"Wait, you're not going to lie to me, are you?
Tell me Michael has agreed to hand over the peasants, and tell Michael I have agreed to hand over the cavemen, and then you can eat from both ends. "
Fuck! You are so clever that you have ruined my Black Dragon King.
That’s what I really thought.
Qi Ge took a deep breath and immediately became angry:
"Hey! You don't even believe me! Come on, let's make a bet and go ask Michael together now.
If she refuses, I will volunteer to join Negan for ten years and serve your daughter every day.
If she agrees, what do you say, Your Majesty?"
As he spoke, he reached out to pull the Black Dragon King's head, as if he wanted to move the Black Dragon King in front of Michael.
"Hiss! Wait, wait, I said wait." The Black Dragon King looked at Qi Ge's fearless look and lost his confidence.
"Let me think about it... I'll make a bet. If you win, I'll hand over the caveman, no questions asked! I'll help you deal with all the opposition within Negan.
But you have to promise me that we, Negan, will capture some orcs from the neutral zone.
Once the cavemen left, there was no one to work. This was not okay.
You know our place in Negan. Harpies, evil eyes, Medusa, minotaurs, and manticores are not suitable for work.
We can’t let Black Dragon do the work.”
Orcs? Qi Ge was delighted. As expected, the old Black Dragon King had already thought of a replacement plan for the cavemen. He just wanted to see if he could get away with it.
It’s no wonder that the orcs’ fertility is not inferior to that of the cavemen, and their fighting power is even slightly stronger than that of the cavemen.
Some of the orcs' troops are good at long-range attacks, and the orcs of the stronghold force are one of them.
In the world of Yasa, orcs are a very large branch.
Fox people, cat people, rabbit people, boar people... and so on, are all orcs, most of them are level 1 to 2 soldiers.
The orcs of the stronghold force are high-level orcs, and are naturally level three.
But they had long since disowned those poor relatives and separated themselves from them, forming their own independent lineage, just like mages separated from humans.
Strictly speaking, tauren are also orcs, but tauren separated from orcs earlier than orcs.
Orcs are actually very adapted to life in the underground world, but are not suitable for living on the ground.
The fur on their bodies can keep them warm in the underground caves where the temperature is low but not too low. Because they need to hunt frequently, their evolved night vision can see in the dark. Moreover, all orcs have more flexible hands than cavemen and can perform a much wider range of work than cavemen.
There are some flying troops among the orcs, such as the eagle men and vulture men, which can even replace the ecological niche of the harpy.
This can also pave the way for the future, allowing the underground city to give the harpy troops that can adapt to survival on the ground to the stronghold in the future to make up for the weak air force of the stronghold.
but……
"But the word 'catch' is too harsh."
Qi Ge frowned and said:
“Invitation means you invite those orcs struggling to survive in the neutral zone to join the rich dungeon, instead of catching them!
Slavery is the least productive system. Slavery in the Yasa world must be abolished. This is also one of the major directions for the future.
I know that Negan has been plagued by problems for a long time and it is difficult to reform them all at once, but we must maintain our opposition.
A great building starts from the ground, and the abolition of slavery begins with this.
Your Majesty the Black Dragon King, I have a request. You can invite the orcs, but you can only use bribes, not threats!
You can also use this order to punish some underground lords who don’t listen to you before you leave…”
Qi Ge nodded lightly, then immediately stopped talking.
The Black Dragon King's eyes suddenly narrowed.
The Dark Elves' belief in the Dark Dragon has begun, and some Dark Elf thieves who have joined the Thieves Guild for further training have unknowingly infiltrated various locations in Negan.
The black elves are his real base, and they are the guarantee for his rapid growth and understanding of the dark elements after he is deified.
In the future Negan, the dark elves must be the main race.
But this kind of social change will definitely take a process.
During this transition process, how to ensure that Negan is always under Moriel's control and prevent any accidents from happening in the development of the Black Elves is a question he must consider.
If we want to ensure the stability of Negan, we must centralize power and cannot continue with the previous dungeon lord alliance system.
It just so happens that abolishing slavery is an excellent knife.
It has everything, including justice and reason. Once the fight starts, no one can say anything.
He nodded deeply and said with admiration:
"It has to be you, Qi Ge. Wu Er really didn't make a mistake about you. You are born to do bad things."
"What a bad thing! Abolishing slavery is a great thing that will benefit all families!"
Qi Ge said with a pure and innocent look: "Your Majesty the Black Dragon King, we are all good people."
"Okay! I knew you would suit my taste."
The Black Dragon King was very happy.
Seven pigeons are laughing:
"Then your majesty, are you still going to Michael's place?"
"Go, why not? We've already made the bet, there's no point in giving up halfway.
I know very well how much Michael values human beings.
If you ask her to give up half of the angels, I can believe it. But I will never believe it if you ask her to give up one-third of the human beings!
Even if you lose, I don't want you to join Negan. You can just move to Moriel's palace and leave when your child is born."
But this time, it was Qi Ge's turn not to leave.
He laughed at the Black Dragon King, his smile was quite awkward.
"Ha!" The Black Dragon King suddenly laughed.
"You kid, are you trying to scare me? I knew it! Let's go!"
"Well, Your Majesty, wait a minute."
"What are you waiting for? Waiting for you to find a way to cheat with Michael? We can't wait, let's go now!"
The seven pigeons pretended to be helpless:
“Well, Your Majesty, if you change the bet, I have to change it too.
So, if I win, I don't just want the caveman, I want the manticore too!"
"Scorpion Lion!!"
The Black Dragon King's voice suddenly became louder.
"What a great opportunity! You really dare to think so! You even want the Scorpion Lion?! The Caveman is fine, although he is important, he can't fight after all.
The Manticore is a level 6 soldier! And a particularly obedient level 6 soldier.
I can give you the Manticore!"
“Stop, stop, stop.”
Qi Ge quickly comforted him:
"Please listen to my explanation. I want the manticore for no other reason than to have it.
It is a waste of talent to use the Scorpion Lion as a combat unit.
Their attributes are average, and their only useful special skill is paralysis. To be honest, among the level 6 soldiers of the nine major forces, the Scorpion Lion is either the last or the second to last.
But the value of the Scorpion Lion as a strategic force is quite high!
Fallen bristles and naturally lost teeth can be used to make treasures.
The paralyzing toxin produced by their tails is an essential raw material for many paralyzing potions.
After a slight upgrade to level 3, it can be upgraded to [Automatic Fertilizing Scorpion-Tailed Flying Lion].
One [Automatic Fertilizing Scorpion-Tailed Flying Lion] can increase the output of two underworld farms by 30%, with immediate effects.
This type of soldier has good luck by nature and should not be used to fight in wars.
They don’t fight very well.”
"Hey! What should we do if our Negan is missing a level 6 soldier?
Even a level 6 is still a level 6!"
Facing the Black Dragon King's protest, Qi Ge's eyes fixed and his voice suddenly turned cold:
“I will give you the fire monster, and at the same time, I will also give you a batch of nightmare horses.
The Fire Monster is naturally level 6, and the Nightmare Horse is naturally level 5. No matter which one is a level 6 soldier, it is stronger than the Manticore."
"Fire..." The Black Dragon King was about to explode when he suddenly froze.
Exchanging the scorpion lion for the fire monster is not only not a loss, but a big profit.
At the same level, if there is no restraint in the special skills, the fire monster will completely defeat the scorpion lion.
"It's just...will this hell allow you to do this? Ur will let you do this?"
"She has to agree even if she doesn't want to."
Qi Ge said coldly:
"Hell must be split up! Hell's Tears of Yasha will be freed up for other uses, and all the troops of Hell's forces must be split up into other Yasha forces.
This is the only way for the Abyss Fragment to be completely integrated into Yasha."
Abyss fragments are escapees from the dimensional cycle. They are neither within the Three Realms nor the Five Elements.
As long as the fragments of the abyss remain firmly stuck together, it will always be a foreign object to the Yasa world.
Those people of the abyss will never be able to think wholeheartedly from the perspective of the Yasa world.
When the real world-destroying crisis comes, they can run away, so how can they be willing to stay?
They must be forced to fight to the death and their retreat routes must be cut off, only then can they give up all illusions and tie themselves firmly to the warships of the Yasha world.
The only way to achieve this is to split the abyss.
Originally, the seven pigeons could not do this, and it was also difficult for the gods to do this, but something happened to Ur.
Ur needs to repair the kingdom of God and must rely on the power of the Yasha world.
She could only choose between [die] and [become a god in the world of Yasa], so she had to compromise.
Ur's compromise gave Qi Ge and the others hope. With her cooperation, the abyss could be split into small pieces and then gradually swallowed up by the Yasa world.
“Hiss…” The Black Dragon King suddenly felt cold all over.
He suddenly realized that the man in front of him was not just his son-in-law.
It was he who directed the fall of El Zeus, it was he who united the gods, and it was he who unified the will of all the major forces in the Yasa world.
The troops of Hell have been split up into other forces, and those troops will definitely not have an easy time.
Ur is in his hands, and the forces of Hell are his base, which he almost completely controls.
One of the nine major forces in the Asian Sands world, it was demolished without any hesitation. How cruel...
Thinking of this, the Black Dragon King fell silent.
He thought for a while and sighed: "Okay, you are so sincere.
But my decision doesn’t count, Scorpio. You have to convince Shilika.
She is the real master of the Dungeon Manticore."
Manticore Queen Silica...
Qi Ge smiled slightly:
"Don't worry, she won't be that soon."
"She's not?" The Black Dragon King was a little surprised: "Then who is?"
Qi Ge tilted his head slightly and said firmly:
"I am!"
