Very soon, Li Huailin saw the dragon emissary. To be honest, Li Huailin didn't recognize him at first glance. If it weren't for the name "Ervighant" written above his head, Li Huailin wouldn't have known who he was. Li Huailin had seen Ervighant in his dragon form before, but it was the first time Li Huailin had seen him in human form.
It was obvious that Ervighant didn't like his human form. Unfortunately, the duke's residence was only so big. With his body size, he couldn't turn into a dragon. Although it was a little uncomfortable, Ervighant still transformed.
"Oh? Why are you here? "Li Huailin left the others outside and met Ervighant alone.
"Remy Dios is busy. He can't come," Ervighant replied with a nod.
"Busy? What is it? "Li Huailin asked.
"Uh … I'm pregnant."
"…" Li Huailin facepalmed. This Red Dragon Queen was really obedient. She really listened to him telling her to have more children and plant fewer trees. She was pregnant so quickly. "Why are you here? Is Feletrika busy too? Could he be the child's father? "
"I just came back, so I came here." Ervighant briefly explained. Previously, he had been searching all over the continent for half-dragons and had them move near the dragons. He had just completed this task and was about to return to the Dragon Valley when he heard that Li Huailin was going to ascend to the throne. So, he came directly.
"Is it done?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, I've already talked to all the larger half-dragon tribes that I could find. All of them agreed to submit to our Dragon Tribe. As for those that didn't, they all disappeared." Ervighant was full of murderous aura. It seemed like he had killed a lot. "I really don't know where to find the smaller tribes, so I'm going back to the Dragon Valley."
"How many people are there now?" Li Huailin asked.
"About fifty thousand," said Ovegante after thinking for a while.
"Fifty thousand … Okay, that's enough. We can move on to the next step of the plan," Li Huailin said immediately.
"The next step of the plan." That's right, he was a warmonger to begin with. He had been bored out of his mind doing diplomatic work for the past few days. He was overjoyed to hear that he could move on to the next step. "Isn't the next step … the Orcs?"
"Yeah." Li Huailin nodded. "We shouldn't have acted so early. After all, the Dragon race is still a little unstable. However, time waits for no man. You might not know this, but the Beastmen are at their weakest right now. Of course, we have to take advantage of their weakness. So, now is the best time to act."
"Oh, I know about that. The elves are currently at war with the beastmen. I heard that the beastmen are running out of rations, so they are in a very difficult situation. Indeed, this is the most dangerous time." Eugene nodded, but after thinking for a bit, he said, "Then shouldn't we let the Elves continue fighting with them? Should we reap the benefits without doing anything? "
"Heh, you sure know how to use your brain." Li Huailin laughed. "However, think about it. The Beastmen are bound to lose. When the Beastmen lose, all the benefits will go to the elves. Do you think it's too late for you to not act now? Do you know why everyone gives a push when a wall is down? Now is the time to fight for the loot, understand? "
"Oh, I understand." Eugene nodded. He really didn't doubt Li Huailin's words.
"Then go back immediately and inform all the Dragon race to declare war on the Beastmen. Then, we will attack the Beastmen's cities," said Li Huailin immediately.
"Now? Why are you in such a hurry? "Eugene was a little surprised.
"I already said that this is a rare opportunity. Besides, the great leader of the Beastmen, Dilba, is now in my mansion. He wants me to mediate between them and the elves. Of course, I won't agree, but I can't find a good reason. However, if the Dragon race attacks immediately, Dilba will have to go back immediately. So, I don't need a reason," said Li Huailin. Of course, he didn't mention that he only had two days left.
"Okay." Eugene nodded again. Li Huailin's words were quite reasonable. "Alright, I will go back and discuss with them about the attack."
After saying that, Ovegante was about to get up. He was also an impatient fellow. But he was immediately pulled back by Li Huailin. "Wait, there's something important that we haven't talked about."
"Oh, something important? What is it? "asked Eugene.
"After we start the war, you must kill as many Beastmen as possible in the next two days. It doesn't matter if they are soldiers or civilians. Kill them all. Oh right, that's it. Work hard for the next two days. Fly a few laps around the Beastmen's cities. As long as you see a populated city, spit a few Dragon Breaths at it. Of course, don't get hurt. Retreat before the enemy's ballistae and magic cannons are ready," said Li Huailin.
"Eh?" Eugene was slightly stunned. He asked in confusion, "Why do we have to kill so many Beastmen this time? Didn't you say that the Beastmen will be slaves to the Dragon race? Isn't it a loss for us to kill them now? "
Eugene was aware of the situation in the Dragon Valley. Li Huailin's plan was going smoothly. Now, the Beastmen slaves were very useful. Not only did they help the Draconians build their residences, but they also sold them very well. Now that they had established a trade route with the Demons, the Beastmen were all resources. Eugene was a little confused. Why didn't they follow Li Huailin's plan and kill the Beastmen instead of capturing them?
Of course, this was all Li Huailin's selfishness. However, he wouldn't explain it to Eugene. Anyway, with the intelligence of these big guys, Li Huailin could easily fool them. "Why do you have so much to say? The situation in the past is different from now. Previously, we only captured a few Beastmen slaves. This time, we are directly waging war against the Beastmen. So we have to think about the long term."
"Think about the long term?" Eugene was confused. This was something he didn't understand.
"As I said before, the most important thing in a feudal system is the division of classes. This isn't just about the hierarchy between the ruling class and their subordinates, but also between the slaves." Li Huailin said. "Look at these slaves now. In the future, they will be classified as high-level slaves. The new slaves will be low-level slaves. You will have to manage these high-level slaves. As for the new slaves, let them manage them. You can't teach them one by one, right?"
"Yes." Eugene nodded. After all, the Dragon race lacked manpower. Teaching them one by one was not reliable.
"So we have to make these high-level slaves submit to us. But what do we do?" Li Huailin said as he looked at Eugene.
Eugene was scratching his head. How would he know what to do?
"That's simple. We have to improve the happiness of these slaves." Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Happiness? What is that? "Eugene was confused.
"It's simple. Do you know what happiness is?" Li Huailin smiled. "The so-called happiness is something that can be compared. We have the same status. If you have a better life than me, you will be happier than me. Think about the situation now. These Beastmen that you have captured were all civilians. Compared to the civilians that you have not captured, don't you think they are living a miserable life? "
"Yes." Eugene nodded. Of course they were miserable. Those that he had captured were turned into slaves to do hard labor. Those that were not captured were still living happily.
"That's why, when you go out this time, do something. Your goal is to tell the beastmen under your control that their lives aren't as good as yours. Those who weren't caught by you have all gone to hell. Compared to this, don't you think the slaves that are still doing hard labor here are much happier? "
"That's right." Eugene nodded. Compared to them, the laborers were indeed the winners.
"That's why, that's why their sense of happiness suddenly increases. Although they are still doing the work of those slaves, they will feel much more comfortable in their hearts. In the future, it will certainly be more convenient to invite their comrades," Li Huailin said. "Look, this is the long-term problem, okay? If you continue to capture slaves like this, the number of slaves will only increase. But one day, they will explode. Ruling is about skills, okay? "
"Hmm, hmm, hmm …" Ovegante nodded in agreement. "You're really good at this. I understand now."
"You understand, right?" Li Huailin nodded. "That's a deal. When you return, immediately stop the Dragons from attacking the cities. How about this? We can't really kill them all. After all, we will still need slaves in the future. I will set a time for you. Within these two days, no matter what happens, kill every Beastman that you see. Understood?"
"Oh, okay. That's not a problem." Eugene nodded. Since Saint-tier creatures would not come looking for them anymore, the Dragons could do whatever they wanted. Destroying a few cities was not a big deal to them.
"Alright, you can go now. Hurry up, I will be waiting for your news." Li Huailin waved his hand anxiously.
