Chapter 1917 A Foolish Person Who Plans Ahead
Therefore, the organization named Eye of Chaos expanded at a visible speed like a s...o...b..ll in the long war.
Their partic.i.p.ation in the war also grew deeper and more widespread.
There were even some who gradually broke free from Meng Chao"s control and tried to go behind enemy lines by using "unrestricted warfare" to decide things.
As a result, apart from spying, a.s.sa.s.sination, and sabotage, the Eye of Chaos secretly established a quasi-military team that could launch medium-scale attacks with Lu Siya"s support.
Meng Chao felt his head start to ache.
As such, he ordered Lu Siya to limit the Eye of Chaos" functions and organization.
They had to gather intelligence, as well as split up and lure the enemy, by going undercover. They could not burn, kill, plunder, destroy wantonly, and prompt a retaliation from the Holy Light Temple.
He was not afraid of Lu Siya competing with him for power.
He just never forgot the sword of Damocles hanging above his head.
The Chaos faction had developed to the point where it had more than ten prosperous cities that were similar to the past Dragon City. Even if a few of them were completely destroyed by s.p.a.ce-based orbital weapons, the entire civilization would not collapse.
However, Meng Chao still could not tell how many s.p.a.ce-based orbital weapons the Holy Light Temple could launch today.
One should know that in the monster mastermind"s ancient memories, the s.p.a.ce-based orbital weapons of the Ancients could send down endless raging flames and burn most of the planet"s surface into gla.s.s. It would take the ecosystem billions of years to restart.
"Before the Holy Light Temple feels like it has to resort to desperate measures, we have to understand and disintegrate their ability to use s.p.a.ce-based orbital weapons."
This was Meng Chao"s bottom line.
As such, he and Lu Siya had many disputes.
He even threatened to use the regular army to completely eliminate the Eye of Chaos.
Faced with his murderous threat, Lu Siya chose to back down. At least, that was what Meng Chao thought back then.
Lu Siya withdrew her forces from the Eye of Chaos, especially those who caused violence in the Land of Holy Light.
In the year after that, they appeared to be obedient on the surface. They listened to Meng Chao and did not do anything to the Holy Light faction.
Meng Chao a.s.sumed that Lu Siya was smart enough to hold back her ambitions.
However, he never expected Lu Siya to shift her strategic focus to another place, and that was Picturesque Orchid Lake.
The Dragon City civilization and Turan civilization were close comrades-in-arms who had sworn an oath of blood. They were also the earliest and thickest pillars that formed the Chaos faction.
Unfortunately, these two "close comrades-in-arms" had been at odds since the beginning of the alliance.
First of all, in terms of topography, Dragon City was located in the southernmost tip of the Other World. The roads leading to the vast land in the north were all blocked by Picturesque Orchid Lake.
When the Dragon City civilization was at a disadvantage, this terrain was beneficial for the Earthlings to push the Turan orcs to the front line as meat shields. No matter how intense the war at the front line was, as long as the Holy Light faction could not improve their navigation technology to the level of the Earth in the 20th century in just a few decades and invest astronomical resources to build a strong a.s.sault fleet.
Dragon City would be able to rest easy and not have to worry about enemies attacking them from any direction.
However, as the scale of victory gradually moved toward the Chaos faction, especially on the southern front, the allied forces of Dragon City and Picturesque Orchid Lake advanced triumphantly and seized a large amount of land, population, resources, and energy. The original geographical advantage became particularly awkward.
The vast Picturesque Orchid Lake had turned from a "solid meat shield" to a "hard bone", which was stuck in the throat of every Earthling.
Thanks to Picturesque Orchid Lake, Dragon City, which was located at the southernmost tip of the continent, and the newly occupied area in the middle of the continent had become two parts that did not border each other.
The existence of such a huge "land" was particularly inconvenient for them to rule, manage, and exchange resources and information.
In the past two futures, Meng Chao had wanted to move the capital and build a brand new Dragon City in the newly conquered region because he wanted to make it easier to govern.
However, Dragon City was a unique home that people were familiar with since the era of Earth.
After a hundred years of hard work, the people of Dragon City had left behind too many complicated interests in Dragon City that they could not give up.
Not only would moving the capital cost a lot of time and resources, but it would also harm the interests of many peerless experts and century-old shops.
The counterattack that came with it was one of the main reasons why Meng Chao lost in the previous future.
In this future, Meng Chao"s prestige and reputation would be strengthened to the highest level.
However, the matter of moving the capital still caused a huge uproar within the Dragon City civilization.
He had to appease the many deep-rooted interest groups and carefully support and control them. Because of the new interest groups that were born from the relocation of the capital, he had to pay attention to the war on the front lines… It was not easy to successfully complete the transformation of the Dragon City civilization from a corner to a world overlord.
However, the Turan civilization did not have such a problem.
Picturesque Orchid Lake and the Land of Holy Light were naturally connected.
In the past ten thousand years of war, the Turan civilization had repeatedly attacked the north, occupying the towns and villages under the jurisdiction of the Holy Light Temple many times.
Therefore, after a new round of conquest, the Turan civilization had become very familiar with the new conquest. They had absorbed most of the resources in the newly conquered area, and their overall strength had increased rapidly.
The Turan civilization was improving so quickly that even Meng Chao could not figure out who would be the bigger winner in this win-win cooperation.
The rapid development of the Turan civilization led to the second conflict between the two sides.
It was also a question that countless allies who had gone through thick and thin with each other would ask each other after wealth and victory.
One mountain cannot hold two tigers.
After the final victory, who would rule the world in the other world?
The Dragon City civilization or the Turan civilization?
Decades ago, the Holy Light Temple was still the absolute overlord that ruled the Other World for ten thousand years. The Chaos tribes that were on the defensive only thought about "survival", and there was no need to worry about the illusory grand hegemony.
But now, the Holy Light Temple had already become a crumbling temple. After the final victory, the leaders of the two civilizations, Meng Chao, and Doomsday Wolf Ka.n.u.s, were both worried about who would be the leader.
Fortunately, Meng Chao and Ka.n.u.s were smart people.
He knew that before the Holy Light Temple was completely destroyed, the s.p.a.ce-based orbital weapons were completely destroyed, and the last priest was physically wiped out, it was both pointless and dangerous to think about this problem.
The problem was that there were always fools in this world who liked to plan ahead.
More often than not, there were many more smart people.
