“The most important thing is that bows and crossbows consume arrows. Without powerful arrows, their power would be greatly reduced. We also don’t have any special arrows for sale. As such, even if these people attack us with our weapons, it will only end up with us taking back our weapons and equipment.”
“Any foreign race with normal intelligence won’t use these weapons against the Human race. It’s not because they’re afraid of offending us, but because we’re more proficient in using these weapons than they are. We’re more powerful and familiar with the weapons. They’re definitely tired of living if they come to us for trouble.”
Li Xiang was not worried at all.
How could he not have considered Alice’s problem? It was not easy to be in the arms business. Without full preparation, the things sold now might become fatal threats in the future.
Therefore, they definitely had the necessary preventive measures. They would not sell the best weapons to foreign races.
On the contrary, the treasures traded by the foreign races would speed up the development of the Kingdom of Dawn. As long as the Sky Workshop continued to develop new and stronger weapons, they would have nothing to fear against foreign races.
Moreover, bows and arrows were consumables. As long as they were used, they would have to be constantly purchased to replenish them. This was a continuous and long-term business.
The accumulated profits would be an astronomical figure.
Earning money from the foreign races, obtaining benefits, and having the means to balance them. Why not?
When Alice heard this, her worried thoughts instantly dissipated.
“Since Country Lord has already made preparations, I wonder what’s your view of these foreign races? Can they withstand the attacks of the Bug race?”
“Although the foreign races are arrogant, their strength can’t be underestimated. For any race to be able to survive, they naturally had their way of survival. For example, the Fox race was extraordinarily intelligent and quick-witted. By working together with the other races, they managed to become one of the top races among the beast races. The Ogres were not afraid of death and had strong defense, recovery, and constitution. They were extremely hard to deal with. If these races can work together, and with the equipment we have, they can definitely defend against the Bug race. Of course, this is in the case of sincere cooperation. I don’t think it’s easy to reach this kind of cooperation, so we need to wait and see for the time being!”
Li Xiang did not have a good impression of most foreign races. As long as he had the chance, he would kill them without mercy.
However, although he didn’t have a good impression of them, he had to admit that they had their abilities, and they weren’t weak.
As the ancient saying went, “Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.”
Only by knowing the enemy’s strengths and weaknesses could they deal with the enemy better.
“We’ve never seen the Bug race before, but for the Angel race to act like they’re facing a great enemy, they must be extremely terrifying. Previously, Ye Qiu and I had crossed the river to investigate the situation, but the surrounding area was already lifeless. Even the hidden snakes, insects, rats, and ants had completely lost their breath. It was truly a disaster that exterminated life wherever the Bug race passed. This kind of destructive power is very terrifying. We can’t let our guard down. However, I can only be sure of the details after we fight.”
“But I know there’s a natural reservoir nearby. It can be a backup plan.”
Alice nodded and said, “I’ve already arranged for people to be stationed there. If the situation worsens, we can immediately dig it up and use the flood to attack the swarm. Even if it can’t cause great damage, it can help us out of the situation as quickly as possible. Moreover, water and fire are merciless. No matter how strong the insects are, they won’t have an easy time facing the flood!”
On the battlefield, they used all kinds of methods. The one with the more temple calculations wins! The more detailed the situation was considered, the more prepared one was, and the greater the chance of victory.
Therefore, when Li Xiang was looking for a venue, he also made a detailed investigation of the surrounding area and made various arrangements to deal with all kinds of possible situations.
“With this natural reservoir, we can be considered to have a trump card and backup plan. Even if it’s not used on the Bug race, it could be used on other races. Even if no one has any use for it, it’s still a huge safeguard for us.”
“It seems that the Barbarians don’t intend to leave. They want to stay in the city. What should we do? If they’re not trustworthy, leaving them alive would be a hidden danger.” Alice saw the Barbarians wandering around the city, looking for a place to stay.
Li Xiang looked at the Barbarian warriors in the city and said, “The Barbarians can be trusted, and they may even merge with the Human race in the future. After all, they have the blood of the Human race. It’s just that their living environment causes them to be very different from ordinary humans, which makes them born with strong physiques and extraordinary strength. Most importantly, these Barbarians weren’t bad in nature. Some of them are even honest and good-natured. Even if they don’t integrate into the Human race, they can become the most reliable allies. If we have to worry about our friends and allies, then the City of Dawn will be surrounded by enemies from all sides.”
Although Li Xiang said this, he was actually confident in himself and the Human army. He had the ability and confidence to bear the responsibility of misjudgment.
Sometimes, risk represented profit.
Those who didn’t want to take risks and only wanted to take advantage of others were not to be friended!
“Have the defenses around the ice city been set up?”
“Yes. Ye Qiu personally led people over. This ice city has now become a wondrous array. Ordinary people can never break it. With the Eight Trigrams array, no matter how many enemies there are, they can still be buried. With all the other arrangements, we can make those bugs feel like they’re about to die. Half of them will die before they reach the city walls!”
“Don’t worry, the ice city I chose is not close to the Huge Boulder City. If the Bug race comes from the other side of the river, the Huge Boulder City and the other races will be the first to bear the brunt. We’ll let these foreign races resist the Bug race first, and the pressure on us will be much less. With a trump card in hand, we can hide for as long as we can. As long as we don’t say anything, even if the foreign races are suspicious, there’s nothing they can do.”
Li Xiang smiled indifferently. He had not forgotten that the foreign races had refused to let them in, and he would not have any good feelings for them just because of the frontier trade.
Didn’t the foreign races boast about their strength? The Human race won’t go to the frontline. They can go and resist while we wave the flags and shout from behind. We won’t give them any trouble.
If he didn’t use this Bug race disaster to see what the Angel race and the other foreign races were planning and to spy on their foundation and strength, then he would have come for nothing.
