A rare magical miracle in the world - Chapter 200

Chapter 200: Chapter 131 Strategic Layout (Seeking Recommendation Votes)_2

“Indeed,”

Uncle knew Bailuo would understand, “We are fighting for the sake of benefits.”

“So I want to ask everyone, what benefits do we gain by going to war?”

Battling fiercely on the battlefield, is it just for petty gains?

As soldiers shed their blood, if it brings no benefits to the nation, then why fight?

Of course, if it’s for the sake of dignity, that might be more important than any benefit.

“But this time, we are not fighting for revenge, nor have we suffered any indignity to our dignity,” Uncle said, “What we seek are benefits, advantages, the essential things for our country and household.”

“What does our Yatun need most now?”

Uncle posed a second question, and to this question, both Bailuo and his elder martial sister could answer him: “Time!”

“Correct.”

Uncle nodded and said in a deep voice, “What we most need is time.”

“We don’t need foreign resources, we’re not short of food, and even our population, to some extent, we could do without.”

“Only time is what we are truly lacking.”

To speak unpleasantly, as long as Nors and the others can break through to the Legendary Level, it doesn’t really matter if we have a few less extraordinary common soldiers.

But to achieve a legend, it takes at least a century.

Take Nors as an example, even if he received the Grace of a Superior Miracle, as well as the blessings of the Mysterious Dragon, plus the Miracle Blossom from his elder martial sister yesterday, along with Fairy Blessing’s assistance and the enhancement of the black Pegasus.

The convergence of four types of Miracle Power is equivalent to having a quadruple speed cheat activated.

But even so, Nors is still very, very far from reaching the Legendary Level.

“Your Majesty already possesses seven Miracles, but among them, the best developed is only at the second stage.”

“It’s not enough, nowhere near enough.”

Uncle said, “In these seas, the four Great Pirate Kings of the north, south, east, and west, each of their Miracles has reached the third stage, and they are all Veteran Third Stage.”

“Their military strength and accumulation, that’s something our Yatun can’t even begin to fathom.”

Even if Bailuo had a hundred miracles, but if they are all at the first or second stage, that would be inferior to a single well-developed Miracle.”

“I’m not trying to raise the morale of others by undermining our own prestige.”

“What I want to tell you,” Uncle looked at the young people before him, they were all still young, “Yatun needs time, ten years or even a hundred years of accumulation, to face them head-on.”

What does head-on confrontation mean?

War?

To defeat the opponent with military strength?

No, no, that’s not it.

A head-on confrontation is merely not being afraid of you.

Because I’m not afraid of you, you wouldn’t dare attack me.

If you attack me, you would have to pay a huge price, a price you can’t afford.

So, we won’t resolve issues through war.

Instead, we’ll use diplomacy, politics, economy and culture to measure up!

“What Yatun needs from a head-on confrontation is confidence, self-confidence, and even more so, a sense of security,”

“But we don’t have it,” Uncle said, “We have nothing.”

“Nowadays, there’s the protection of the Holy Covenant and the Eastern Nations’ Agreement, so Yatun is temporarily safe.”

“But security under the protection of others is no different from living at the mercy of others.”

“Fortunately,”

Uncle said, “we have Avalon.”

“Avalon is a Superior Miracle World; even in the face of danger, we can hide in it without any issue, and hiding for a lifetime would not be a problem.”

With this, the people of Yatun would stand on invincible ground.

But the people of Yatun have been cowering turtles for 200 years; do they want to continue to be mice that hide and scurry for another 200 years?

They could.

Of course they could!

“But if we could live in the sunshine,” Uncle stated earnestly, “why should we flee, why should we hide, why should we be afraid?”

Uncle truly does not hope that Yatun, having such a good hand, would ultimately play it poorly.

Moreover, the development of Miracles ultimately still requires people.

If we were to hide in the world of Avalon, the population growth would be extremely slow; hence, the world of Avalon would be the last step when there’s nowhere to retreat.

What Yatun needs is to move forward, to step out, not to isolate itself from the world.

“Then…”

Bailuo asked, “What should we do?”

Although Bailuo has quite a few Miracles, he knows nothing about the international situation of the Miracle World or strategic maneuvers.

Uncle is his brain trust, formulating plans for him.

Before Bailuo grows into a true King, Uncle will do his utmost to assist him.

“We need allies.”

Making alliances – that was the first strategic step Uncle suggested for Bailuo; it is also fundamental for the Yatun Duchy to establish itself on Miracle Mainland.

“Make distant engagements and attack nearby?”

Nors mentioned this term he once heard from Bailuo.

“Nors.”

Bailuo said, “What the old man probably means is to make alliances both far and near.”

“Oh…”

Nors scratched his head, secretly thinking this didn’t match the military strategy he had learned before?

“Indeed.”

“Military strategies are rigid, but people are flexible, young Nors, you can’t be too fixated on theory,”

“The strategy we are going to use this time is to make friends with anyone.”

Uncle said, “On the Miracle Mainland, no country can exist independently of everyone else.”

“Even if it is invincible, it should not position itself as the world’s enemy through brute force.”

The world of Avalon provided Uncle with a great deal of confidence, which allowed him to alter his plans, taking a more advantageous approach, “So, we need to find allies, more than one ally.”

“We have the Initial Sprout Holy Pouch, with countless high-quality crops.”

“With them,” Uncle said, “we are the delicacy in the eyes of the Kings of Miracles.”

“Who wouldn’t want to form an alliance with us to obtain these fine foods?”

And once they get used to these things, they would never again easily move against Yatun.
