Business, is a table rule.
Both parties exchange trading cards.
In fact, in the last tabletop generation, no race would engage in such simplistic acts as Kai'ka.
Until humans invented a set of rules for playing cards.
A card master can put cards they don't need temporarily aside and exchange them with others for the cards they want.
This is a highly advanced concept.
"Business", this kind of trade rule, is speculated to originate from the ancient Shang Dynasty of humankind. This act of substitution obviously made humankind stronger, and later became a common rule, even written into the highest treaty.
The Spectral Race, an imitation species, possess characteristics of many races, allowing their cards to adapt and mimic most tabletop rules.
In simpler terms, they can speak human language to humans and ghostly language to ghosts.
Such characteristics are inherently unsuitable for warfare because, while they can be imitated, none of the copies can match the original.
Meanwhile, excessive adaptation to other rules will lead to a lack of distinctive features.
However, they are very skilled in business and diplomacy.
When the Human race was at its twilight, the Illusory Spirits discovered an opportunity and thrived for thousands of years.
In last year's authoritative survey, the Vyrling race accounted for a full 18.5% of the Alliance's total trade.
This is an extremely exaggerated number.
Relying solely on advanced logistics capabilities to achieve such success is clearly a testament to his exceptional abilities.
Although Grizzly County was behind the times, it was also a border sector bordering the fringes of civilization. It had its own power structures.
To know, even the alliance is unwilling to spend money on stationing troops here.
Between here and the Edge Star Sector lies a desolate star region.
Without habitable planets as stepping stones, the flight units of this generation cannot travel more than 1,000 light-years in a single trip.
And this record, in the alliance there is none, it was created by the Whale Race Expeditionary Force under the guarantee of transportation provided by the human allies.
This is as far as it goes.
In fact, during the Third Dynasty, even with a thousand years of effort, people could still reach the edge world.
At that time, there were a few habitable planets in the desolate star region, serving as stepping stones for the exiled families of dynasties to reach the edge of the empire over several generations.
But in the late dynasty, all these habitable stars lost their maintenance and became dead stars.
Currently, it can be considered that the edge world and the center world have been effectively separated, unless there exists a miraculously crafted natural stargate.
Lu Cheng couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the human ancestors.
The second table's birthplace is chosen on the edge of the star sector, and a lot of effort has been put into preserving the Xuanwu Gate.
This allows humankind to both occupy the "golden corner" on the tabletop, standing in a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and also have the opportunity to obtain resources from the "grass belly" to develop and grow stronger.
However, the drawback is that apparently all major human civilization forces back then thought the same way, which led to such fierce competition in the continental era chicken-eating tournament.......
Speaking of the Xu Ling clan.
Based on the information currently available.
The Ethereal beings who have been constantly cracking down on illegal trading organizations, the Ethereal black merchants reached out to themselves.
Half-orcs speak in riddles, but Lu Cheng knows these black marketeers will provide military card support to any faction.
However, in Lu Cheng's eyes, these black businesses were not even legitimate forces, at most they were organizations. The scale of the confrontations they supported was insignificant in Lu Cheng's view.
Although there's no direct evidence linking them to the Netherworld Merchants, Lu Cheng felt he had reason to suspect this shady group was akin to a branch of the Netherworld itself, specifically designed to amass illicit wealth that couldn't be easily obtained through conventional means.
That's about it, I think.
The virtual family's influence is vast, but the black market organizations are just ants...
Don't worry too much.
Having received the letter of intent, making contact with the league is the current priority.
......
According to the league bounty.
After the successful suppression of the rebellion, all orc prisoners of war need to be handed over.
And the Orcish Kingdom will be liberated, rejoining the Alliance, who will resettle them.
Forces participating in the rebellion can gain seats within the Alliance, and the Orcish Kingdom will serve as an affiliate of the rebellious forces, having colonial rights over Grizzly Hills.
If the mutinous mercenaries do not want seats, vassal states, and colonies, they can exchange them all for energy.
After the grizzly county was liberated by humans, the news spread to the Alliance.
It's not a big deal.
However, the Alliance was generally welcoming to the return of the human race, an ancient and extinct civilization.
In the eyes of most races, there is no way to distinguish between descendants of the Third Dynasty and the Bai Yujing humans.
At the time of a dynasty's collapse, many races wanted to keep humans in protected areas.
Although the human race may be weak in terms of combat strength, their intelligence and astonishing skills and culture are world-renowned.
The discovery of human cards from a war site shocked all races.
Who wouldn't want a smart and capable "housekeeper"
Gathers the weak human race, one can apply the human race's strategy and wisdom in card play, and don't have to worry about the weak combat effectiveness of the human race causing any waves.
However, none of these “cages” were successful.
The Third Dynasty was too vast, and after its demise, many nomadic factions of humanity remained.
Actually, for thousands of years, descendants of the Third Dynasty have emerged almost every period.
There are some that escaped from the council grounds, and others discovered in the barren star sectors.
Without exception, they all joined the alliance and were adopted by a certain race of the alliance, and finally died...
It's not news at all.
This time, the human tribe didn't come as a rescued group, but as conquerors who had truly captured Grey Bear County and were here to collect their reward.
They were lucky, to say the least. They ran into both a beastman warlord's death and a flood in the industrial district.
This time, the one who wanted to adopt the human race was obviously the Void Spirit Clan. They wanted to accept the humans through black merchants first.
...I didn't expect that.......
To my surprise, I was rejected!
The Illusory Clan is probably thinking that since the Human Race doesn't want to be associated with the Black Merchants, their main family has come forward through official channels to make contact with the Human Race.
What is the official channel
The distribution of bounties is completed through the Virtual Spirit Clan's logistics, and they essentially have all the bargaining power in this area.
From the perspective of the Vixens, those lucky humans destroyed their money-making grounds and refused to join their black market. Isn't it reasonable to charge a little extra through official channels
We should be grateful just to get half of it.
They couldn't possibly have the hauling power themselves, could they
Such kindness has already been shown to them, they wouldn't be ungrateful, would they
......
Discovering the descendants of human empires and discussing bounties is certainly not something that would alarm the high ranks of the Alliance.
The alliance will have Iwakuni, which is closest to the border, take care of it.
Iwaku.
The population with the longest lifespan among silicon-based life is the Rock Tribe.
Unlike magically animated statues driven by humans, these colossal living rock entities possess a strong adsorbent property. They absorb minerals, organic matter, and large quantities of gas to sustain their habitat and activity.
Despite having a large population and producing vast amounts of minerals annually, Iwako remains at the bottom tier of the Alliance due to its extreme lack of intelligence.
However, they seem to be helpless as well. Because they need the help of the Illusory Race to go to heaven.
Iwashiro borders Greybear County, and the Alliance also issues bounties through them, paying mercenaries a large amount of high-quality ore.
Of course, all of this is through the Virtual Tribe.
Since the human race refuses to accept the black merchant's demands, let's go through official channels.
The Spirit Liaison decided to go with the Rock Tribe and meet with humans to discuss matters of ore.
Since you're unwilling to join the Black Glove, then settle for something less. Contribute a little elsewhere, allow your activities to continue. Doesn't that seem reasonable
However, the Rock Tribe and the Void Spirits represented when they arrived...
Let's not talk about paying for ore anymore.
They found that Grizzly County it... was gone!
A small asteroid, just like that...gone
As for the whereabouts of the Grizzly Planet, ...
The human representative spoke.
We don't say so!
A month ago, the human race caused severe destruction to agriculture and industry in Grizzly County. Needing a legitimate reason for the Alliance's intervention, they temporarily took all half-orc populations and orc prisoners of war aboard ships.
As for where the planets are now
Wake up after a nap.
That's it then....
As for whether it was done by the Zerg or someone else... Guess.is defense was...Besides, Rick just pulled out a trump card and wiped out the Red Dragon. He must be a bit depleted at this point."It's okay, we'll chat later!"Lu Cheng stood in front of Rick.Facing t...
