140: Chapter 140 Territorial Expansion, Insect Swarm Attack

"Lord of Spain: Su Yang, please come quickly, I am living in fear every day here!"

"Lord of Dragon Kingdom: Don't worry, I will be there soon."

"Lord of Spain: As expected of the leader, allies should help each other! When you arrive, I will definitely treat you with the most sumptuous food!"

Food? Su Yang's thoughts flickered.

That's right, since Lord of Spain has been staying around his territory and not daring to go out, how do they solve the food problem?

Back in the early stages, he could only snatch food from the mouths of the Insect Swarm.

"Lord of Dragon Kingdom: How do you obtain food?"

"Lord of Spain: My territory is overgrown with breadfruit, thorn fruit, and a bunch of other fruits. There are also big birds that come to eat the fruit often, so there is simply more food than I can eat."

Su Yang was silent at this stroke of luck.

He had traveled over a hundred kilometers and fought against the Insect Swarm for so long before finally managing to get some fruit.

He actually spawned directly in an orchard!

Now he had to take down Lord of Spain.

The area where he currently collects fruit actually doesn't have dense fruit trees; they are scattered everywhere.

This shows that although this area can grow them, it is not very suitable for this kind of fruit tree.

And according to Lord of Spain's description, his place is simply a rich treasure trove.

There are all kinds of plants and animals, and not only is there enough to eat, but he doesn't even need to consider nutritional balance.

"Lord of Dragon Kingdom: Is there any more specific description? I will head over there today."

"Lord of Spain: Big Brother is truly too good to me. Big Brother's kindness is impossible to repay!!"

...

Elizabeth watched the conversation between the two, her eyebrows twitching. Is this a real-life version of inviting a wolf into the house?

If it were purely to help Lord of Spain, Lord of Dragon Kingdom would have no reason to be so anxious.

And to be able to make Su Yang so interested, there must be something good at Lord of Spain's side.

The innocent Lord of Spain thought that Lord of Dragon Kingdom was coming just to help him.

However, as allies, Elizabeth felt that Su Yang would not do anything to directly destroy Lord of Spain's territory.

And if there is no deep hatred between the two countries, there are actually ways to gain more benefits than destroying the territory.

Colonization.

This is a strategy that can only be adopted by civilizations with conquest characteristics, such as England, the United States, and Japan.

When you defeat a country, you can choose not to destroy it, but to colonize it.

This way, the country can continue to develop, and you can obtain ownership of all resources and scientific research facilities of the country except for the army.

You can send troops to garrison the territory and build various defensive or scientific research buildings in that territory.

The new resource facilities brought about after the upgrading of the territory's Main Base are also all under your control.

Destroying a country is like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, obtaining all its resources at once.

Colonizing a country is like sowing seeds; you pay a certain amount of resources and time in the early stages, and you can gain more benefits as it grows in the future.

Unless there is hatred or an urgent need, colonization will always be the better choice.

Although it is a bit humiliating to be colonized, Elizabeth felt that being colonized by Lord of Dragon Kingdom is actually not bad.

At least with Su Yang's character, he wouldn't really do anything to humiliate the colonized.

And you only need to provide resources to get powerful military protection.

Although this makes it impossible to compete for a higher ranking, at least it can ensure that the country does not suffer from natural disasters.

Small countries in the Alliance that are not developing well in the early stages would definitely be very happy to be colonized by Lord of Dragon Kingdom.

However, there is another problem, which is that colonialism is not something that all civilizations can carry out.

Only conquest civilizations have the colonization option; general civilizations only have the destruction option.

Could it be that the Qin Dynasty also has conquest attributes like England and other civilizations?

Elizabeth was a little puzzled. Isn't the Dragon Kingdom a peace-loving civilization?

After Su Yang and Leader Tang Ji discussed some details, Elizabeth spoke up.

"Lord of England: Lord of Dragon Kingdom and Lord of Spain have set a good example for us. Now everyone can explore outwards as soon as possible and release information about their own regions."

"The Era of Conquest has begun. We must unite quickly on the big map, otherwise, we may encounter attacks from other Alliances in the future."

Su Yang nodded. What Elizabeth said made sense.

Now is not the time to hide and tuck things away like in the early stages. Weak countries need to quickly find allies and establish connections.

If they wait until other countries unite into a larger force, it will be very easy to be destroyed.

Fortunately, most lords are not as big of a fool as Leader Tang Ji.

Everyone has more or less revealed news about their location.

However, this information is truly limited because they have not yet developed vehicles, and the scope of exploration is really limited.

Su Yang felt that many lords would likely be eliminated in this round of the Alliance.

The discussion ended, and Su Yang exited the Lords Hall.

After exiting, he told all the relevant information to the Scout troops and let them set off immediately, heading southwest to find Lord of Spain's territory.

The sooner Lord of Spain's territory is discovered, the sooner additional resource income can be obtained.

Su Yang did not intend to let the remaining troops return; instead, he left them on standby.

After the Scout discovers Lord of Spain's territory, this batch of troops can directly march in and take over Lord of Spain's territory.

If the return trip is not considered, the maximum travel distance of the black iron chariot exceeds 300 kilometers.

This distance should be enough to ensure reaching Lord of Spain's territory.

Upon arriving at Lord of Spain's territory, one can directly go through the colonization procedures to convert it into a Great Qin stronghold.

At that time, all kinds of resources will be interconnected, and the troops will also be able to obtain supplies in Lord of Spain's territory.

The benefits of colonizing a territory are really too many.

Not only can it become a supply point, serving as a transit point for expeditions to explore further areas and expanding the influence of the troops.

One can also obtain ownership of all resources within its territory and operating rights for various facilities, increasing the territory's income.

With his own protection, Lord of Spain will not need to develop an army or research any technology at all.

He can directly upgrade the Main Base and resource-type buildings all the way, providing logistical support for the Great Qin expedition.

Lord of Spain gets protection, and Great Qin gets resources.

It is the best of both worlds, and everyone is happy.

Su Yang smiled all over his face. Indeed, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.

If he hadn't left a good impression on Lord of Spain back then, he wouldn't have so enthusiastically invited them to be a guest.

With abundant food resources and additional mineral resources, he was already a bit impatient to visit Lord of Spain.

Thinking back to those Western powers who relied on advanced technology and military strength to fight and colonize everywhere, seizing countless resources.

Now the times have changed, and he has become the greatest power. He must not give up this opportunity and must let the foreigners experience this majesty from the East.

While his thoughts were racing, an alarm suddenly flashed in his mind.

The two Scouts left to explore in the north detected a large-scale Insect Swarm moving towards the territory!

Su Yang's eyes flickered. The daytime Bug Swarm Tide assault!!
