In the long run, the joint forces would definitely be beneficial.
But it would harm the immediate interests of some cities and kingdoms.
This required a long-term vision and a certain degree of cohesion.
In the beginning, Xihe and the North could not do it.
But now, with the practical results and the tough stance of the Transcendents, the various kingdoms and cities could only agree even if they were unwilling.
But they still haggled over the specific military strength.
The more so, the more reluctant the various regions were to offer more.
They were worried that if the joint forces were too few, it would be ineffective. In the end, they would have to rely on the resources and military strength in their hands to protect their cities.
In the end, the Eastern Alliance had the most soldiers, followed by the Western Allies, and the Northern Alliance the least. Six hundred thousand men had been gathered.
In this situation.
Some people with foresight were almost disheartened.
For example, the Queen of Lancamdor.
Lancamdor was located inland, and with her daughter, Catherine, a Level Three Transcendent, its defensive strength was almost the strongest in the North.
Even so.
She still shuddered when she thought of the future she had seen from the Pan-Humanist Guardians.
Endless waves of strange beasts continued to surge along the coast.
Did these countries think they could defend themselves alone?
"Since things have come to this, Mother, we should be prepared for both sides." Lancamdor's eldest princess, Catherine, tied up her blonde hair. She was dressed in martial armor, and her gaze was steady. "The joint forces will be as effective as they can be. We will be able to reduce the number of strange beasts. In addition, prepare to receive the defeated soldiers in the coastal areas and build Lancamdor into the North's last line of defense."
"You want to …" The Queen looked at her daughter.
"Clean up the strange beasts in the territory, open a passage to the border, and then build walls along the border! Protect the entire country! "Catherine raised her hand and waved, her tone firm.
It was no longer building walls outside the city.
It was along the entire border.
This was undoubtedly a huge plan.
But at this moment.
Catherine was not the only one who had similar thoughts. The entire Eastern Alliance was also discussing an incomparably huge project!
"Once the army is gathered, the first task will be to open up the transportation channels from the various provinces to the coast." On the map, Lin Xinran drew long horizontal lines along the entire coastal area of the country. "All the people must not be trapped in the cities. We have to build at least five lines of defense and leave a way out for the people in each line of defense if the line of defense is breached."
This wasn't just to defend against exotic beasts.
It was also to provide a path of retreat for the coastal cities when they were unable to resist the final wave of beasts.
In order to preserve the lives of the people to the greatest extent.
As soon as this incomparably huge project was proposed, it caused a lot of people to be shocked.
"Such walls and lines of defense are more than ten thousand miles long! Many people will be sacrificed. " "Not only the soldiers, but the construction workers will also be in great danger. If we want to complete this task in the remaining seven or eight months, we will need to mobilize at least hundreds of millions of people."
"We still have to do it!" Gu Qishui said, "This is not just for a city or a province, but for the entire country and civilization! Once the application of laser weapons is completed, these defensive lines and city walls will become the most powerful barrier for our generation to leave behind for future generations! "
Laser weapons and city walls would be the strongest line of defense.
In this world filled with exotic beasts, they were going to use the sweat and blood of their generation to create a living space for their entire civilization!
In the end, no one objected.
If humanity wanted to live, they had to focus their attention on the threat of the sea.
"This project will buy us the most time." Shen Yi nodded after seeing their plan. "It's like combining the independent and scattered cities to form a common line of defense. It can attack and retreat. Not only will it be of great use against the beast wave, but it will also help the cohesion and integrity of the entire civilization."
After all, if they really did use cities as a unit of defense, then they would fight for themselves. In the long run, civilization would be divided.
"The North lacks an understanding of the latter. They still don't think of themselves as a whole," Clove said.
"This is the difference between civilizations." Shen Yi shook his head. He didn't want to dwell on this topic. He suddenly asked, "How many people are left in the world?"
At this point in the war, although the cities hadn't been destroyed, the number of people who had lost their lives had reached a frightening number.
Most of them came from the Chaotic Zones.
Secondly, there were the sacrifices of soldiers.
Clove quickly gave the numbers.
"A total of 5.2 billion. The Eastern Alliance has the most people, 1.9 billion. Next is the Western Alliance, 1.7 billion. Last is the Northern Alliance, with 1.4 billion left."
The rest were the people who were struggling at death's door in the Chaotic Zones.
Shen Yi nodded slightly.
In the past few months, he had obtained about three billion points.
This meant that, under normal circumstances, more than half of these people would have died by now.
However, in order to earn these points, the consumption during this period was also huge.
In the past few months, the number of Extraordinaires in the world had reached about twenty-eight thousand. Six thousand were sacrificed, and there were twenty-two million left. Just these people alone cost Shen Yi more than a billion points.
The Tower of Trials, weapons and equipment, Extraordinaire growth, legacy cards …
Many of them had grown to Stage Two.
But they also played a huge role.
They were almost the world's most elite fighting force, and they were also supporting everywhere. In the face of the increasing number of Stage Two Alien Beasts, they saved countless cities, and greatly delayed the emergence of Stage Three Alien Beasts.
Most of the points were due to their efforts.
In addition, the fighter jets Shen Yi had bought, including the battle damage and energy consumption of these jets, also cost hundreds of millions of points.
There were also some lucky draws where he didn't get key items.
Shen Yi now had about eight hundred million points left.
Was this a lot?
Not really.
"Add another four hundred fighter jets to help with this project." Shen Yi waved his hand, and another hundred million points were thrown out.
He now realized that he didn't have enough points to spend.
If he wanted to earn more, he also had to invest.
The good thing was that.
These investments could also be considered investments.
Investment for the development of the Society.
These Extraordinaires trained by the Pan-Humanist Guardians, these purchased fighter jets, this civilization, who knew how many people would survive in the end, could bring rich returns in the future.
With the Society's further support, Lin Xinran and the others were even more excited. This seemed to mean that the Society also supported their vast and grand project.
