Chapter 3430: Inside Story of the Wind-Chasing War
"And it's not just war spells. The almost civilized elemental alliances in large planes will quickly imitate other types of spells after seeing them.
"The reason why they have not been able to develop a magical civilization like ours in the past long years is that the single environment is indeed a big factor.
"The other thing is that wind elemental creatures are naturally loose and love freedom. Even if they form an elemental alliance, it is very difficult to overcome their nature.
“If a foreign invasion war breaks out, it will not be difficult for wind elemental creatures as intelligent creatures to overcome the weaknesses in their nature, and then show more attributes of civilized order.
"You will never imagine how the original pioneers fled back to the main plane in embarrassment when faced with the wind element civilization that was suppressed by blood and magic."
Speaking of this, a trace of fear flashed in Tarafu's eyes. It is precisely because he understood that period of history that he knew how cruel that period of history was. The Wind Chaser War was by no means a relaxing and enjoyable plane journey, but a real war between races and civilizations. .
Seeing that Sha Duo was still thinking, Tarafu continued:
“So when there was the Wind Chasing War later, all the Pasha families reached an agreement without exception, prohibiting the use of war spells during the Wind Chasing War, and also reducing the use of non-elemental spells as much as possible to avoid inspiring local civilization.
"It is also because of such rules that the Wind Chaser War has become a war of attrition that lasts for many years. In the end, as long as it can win the recognition of the local civilization and occupy a territory, Calimshan will no longer seek further expansion.
“For the main plane civilization, just occupying an unclaimed land may not cause opposition or even war from most countries.
"But for elemental creatures, they actually don't care much about territory, something that only terrestrial creatures care about. Wind elements care more about the large wind eye in the plane, because it may take them to other planes to satisfy their needs. curiosity.
“Or areas where rain, sunlight and other elements are abundant, wind elemental creatures with special attributes can be born, or existing wind elemental creatures can master other attributes.
“Of course these are also the purposes of Calimshan’s Wind Chaser War, but they are more of a follow-up long-term business income rather than directly obtained through war.
“So it’s not that difficult to occupy an unclaimed land in the wind elemental plane. Calimshan has accumulated quite a lot of experience in this area. It’s just that the time span is a bit long, and many gains are not immediately available.
"This also makes some weaker families, if they don't grasp the timing of closing down, they may go bankrupt before the day of harvest. The Mairead family is actually such a family."
Tarafu frankly admitted that his family's strength was insufficient, and there was nothing to deny. After all, he only had to wait until Shado went to the wind elemental plane and compare it with other families.
No matter how hard you brag now, it will be so embarrassing when your bullshit is exposed.
If the Mairead family was strong enough, they wouldn't have brought Sha Duo along. After all, if Sha Duo was involved, he would not only need to share the immediate harvest, but also the long-term operating harvest.
The thing that the Mairead family values most about Xia Duo is Xia Duo's floating city. Although the use of war spells is prohibited in the Wind-Chasing War, as long as it is not discovered, especially by local wind elemental creatures, generally no one will pursue it.
If it is discovered and cannot prevent the other party from escaping, other families must be notified as soon as possible to launch a joint operation to expand the scale of the war and eliminate as many elemental creatures as possible.
During this process, compensation should be paid and subsidies should be paid. If the elemental creatures are finally allowed to learn war spells, then the family involved may be bleeding heavily.
In this case, the means to quickly capture the wind element lord is extremely valuable. Obviously, in the eyes of the Mairead family, Shado's floating city is such an existence.
It can be disguised as an ordinary fortress at ordinary times. When you find a lone wind elemental lord or other critical moments, you can break the disguise and reveal the true face of the war spell platform.
As long as more wind element lords can be captured and no major mistakes are made, even if a few joint operations are occasionally called, the income will be enough to compensate other families.
As long as they can capture enough wind elemental lords, the Mairead family can become the top family in Calimshan. This is the charm of the Wind Chasing War.
If a small family or a declining family wants to change their destiny, and if a large family wants to maintain its advantage, they must join in. As for a few families developing it privately, that is basically impossible.
No family can withstand the years of exhaustion of the Zhufeng War alone. If the war fails even slightly, it will inevitably lead to the decline of the family in the main plane.
Only joint action to share risks is the best choice. In the case of fair competition, what reason does the big family have to not be confident?
Only those families who are neither good nor bad will struggle with whether to participate in the Zhufeng War. They want to gain benefits but are afraid of taking risks. If they are hesitant, they will naturally be defeated by those families who take the initiative to participate in the Zhufeng War and gain something. Leave it behind.
The only advantage of not participating in the Zhufeng War is that the family's strength will not fluctuate too much. However, when other families' strength rises rapidly, if you stand still, it is actually equivalent to falling behind.
For thousands of years, Calimshan has fought several Wind-Chasing Wars. It can be said that each Wind-Chasing War will raise the standards of the small family to a higher level.
The main plane is not a peaceful place without disputes. Once a war breaks out, and it is an unlimited war that is far more cruel than the Wind Chasing War, there is no doubt that small families have lower risk resistance.
In other words, if they do not participate in the Wind Chasing War, they will almost certainly decline. It is not because their relative strength in Calinshan has weakened and their resources have been squeezed out, or they cannot offset the losses of the war in the main plane, and then they will go bankrupt directly.
Compared with the war in the main plane, the big and small families in Calinshan still prefer the Wind Chasing War. Except for the first Wind Chasing War, in the following few times, as long as they can restrain their greed, any participating family can get a lot of improvement.
The Maired family made such a mistake in the past. Greed caused them to suffer heavy losses in the Wind Chasing War, which is also the main reason why the outside world believes that the Maired family has declined.
In this Wind Chasing War, they found a powerful ally and are ready to fight a big battle. I just don’t know if they will make the same mistake again.
Tarafu is actually not sure whether his family can still remain restrained in the face of huge interests. After all, the family has been looking forward to this Wind Chasing War for too long.
It has been so long that many family members even regard this war itself as the ultimate goal of their efforts, rather than a regular opportunity that is bound to be encountered in the process of family development.
The family needs to clear its name.
"I just hope that Xia Duo is calm enough and can have enough say in the joint action!"
The reason why there are so many concerns is more because Tarafu is not the heir of the family and can look at many problems from a side perspective.
In addition, the family has participated in the Wind Chasing War for more than a year. Although there are gains, the losses cannot be ignored.
