Chapter 330: Chapter 79: Play it Safe, Retreat First!_1
The third campaign progressed smoothly.
Whether it was the frontal assault of the second corps, or the flanking of the first and third corps, all were about to seize the fortress they attacked.
The special forces that penetrated into the enemy’s rear had also destroyed the “Biological Factory”.
These were not “plagues”, and without transmission capabilities between fairies, the biological modifications and enhancements could not continue without the “Biological Factory”.
The scale of fairy mutations would not endlessly expand.
After the war, more viable forces could be preserved.
The benefits obtained, such as population resources, would be even greater.
In addition, the special forces had discovered the Fairy King’s Sleeping Ground and a new discovery had been made.
Sage Palo was quite satisfied with the holographic projection of the war situation.
As long as they destroy the resistance forces of the Fairy Royal family, get rid of the fairies with strong will to resist, and then slaughter the vulnerable Fairy King.
They could declare a significant victory in the first stage of this Fairy World invasion war: annihilation.
In fact, it was never difficult for Sage Palo to conquer the Fairy World.
The difficulty was in governing afterwards.
There were too many examples to prove that high-pressured enslavement in person was not as effective as supporting proxies.
Based on Sage Palo’s idea of not wanting to get stuck in the mire of a security war, from the very beginning he did not choose to go on a tough conquest directly, but used a conciliatory strategy.
Sending out special envoys at the beginning was a clever move.
If the Fairy King could withstand the World’s will of the Fairy World and be willing to become a vassal, surrender to the Wizard World.
Sage Palo could also save some effort and time and concentrate on helping the Wizard World’s will to transform the shape of the Fairy World’s will, thus completing this invasion mission.
If the Fairy King was unwilling or unable to surrender and chose to kill the special envoy, provoking the war, it would still play into Sage Palo’s calculations.
There were differences in benefits between the Fairy King, the Fairy King’s room, the Fairy royal family, the other Fairy Clans, and the overal Fairy World.
Using these differences, by sending out several special envoys, they could always find the Dove Faction who did not want to participate in the war, and also the informants who were willing to become guides for greater benefits.
A proxy is to find these good-tempered Dove Faction and spineless informants.
Especially those nimble and spineless informants, they are handy to use.
Many times, there was no need to specifically instruct, the informants could handle things beautifully on their own initiative.
It saved worry and time.
With less strength and not united in will, the Fairy King’s chances of winning this asymmetrical war were almost zero.
The reason why Sage Palo did not win the war completely at one stroke, with several campaigns, was not only to hone the legion, but also to eliminate as many fairies with a strong will to resist as possible.
In this way, after the war, the Wizard World’s policy of restraint could be implemented more smoothly.
History is always written by the victors.
When two civilizations collide, the history of the defeated civilization is erased and the victors write a history that glorifies themselves and denigrates the conquered.
The Wizard World did not erase the civilization history of the Fairy World, they just needed to “correct” a little bit.
With public opinion under control, massive and long-term brainwashing would suffice.
The Dove Faction and informants would use “facts” to propagate to the ordinary fairies the sins of the Fairy King,
Propagate that the war was provoked by the Fairy King for his own selfishness, disregarding the interests of millions of fairies,
Propagate that the Wizard World’s counterattack was an act of helplessness,
Propagate that the death of the Fairy King is not to be regretted, the demise of the royal family is deserved, and the extinction of the royal clan is in the interest of all fairy clans,
Propagate that the Wizard World’s overthrow of the Fairy King’s Clan is mainly due to the royal family’s cruel exploitation of the Fairy World, which has brought freedom and democracy to the Fairy World…
Propagate that it is never a bad thing for the Fairy World to become a vassal of the Wizard World, but the starting point of a bright future.
This is the second stage of Sage Palo’s invasion of the Fairy World, the ideological war.
After the two wars, it will enter the phase of strengthening the restraint and resource development.
At that time, it will only be necessary to leave enough military forces to maintain suppression, the Army Corps can be sent back to base for consolidation and training.
Later will be the beginning of Sage Palo’s formal engagement with Heavens.
This invasion of the Fairy World is just a practice arranged by the academy to help Sage Palo adapt to the transition from a main force leader to an army commander.
Sage Palo made the transition quickly and accurately.
After several actions, the army corps has already taken the shape of Sage Palo.
On the other side, within the Fairy King’s Forest.
While Sage Palo looked at the holographic projection of the battlefield, Link and Assad had already raced to the outskirts of the Fairy King’s Sleeping Ground and rendezvoused with Boss Otis.
What’s the situation?
Just as he reached the high point where Boss Otis and his men were, he saw the scene taking place not far below. Link couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
There were two groups of fairies fighting amongst themselves, attacking each other relentlessly.
The battle was extremely intense.
Both sides were not holding back and fought with real force. There were heavy casualties, corpses lay everywhere, and blood flowed across the ground.
Link looked closely and found that the majority were regular fairies, while the minority who looked uglier were lightly mutated fairies.
The lightly mutated fairies were obviously stronger, and they were dominating the regular fairies in battle.
If it continued like this, the lightly mutated fairies would definitely be victorious.
