Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

1753 Alarming Words

Even the undercurrents in Dragon City recently revolved around issues such as when to advance into the middle and lower reaches of the Raging Tiger River, how to advance, and who would be in charge of the overall strategy.

The nine mega corporations that represented the wealthy families and the Azure Alliance that represented the humble families might have some differences on these issues.

However, on the question of whether they should advance into the lower and middle reaches of the Raging Tiger River, they were surprisingly in agreement.

If they wanted to seize control over the portal to the depths of the Other World, intelligence was the most crucial element.

Now, Meng Chao, who had been missing for a year, had returned safely from the Raging Tiger River’s lower and middle river regions with extremely valuable information.

How could this not make the millions of Dragon City citizens, including all the superhumans, overjoyed?

Meng Chao did not beat around the bush and honestly said, “That’s right, I just mentioned the local natives.

“In fact, there are more than fifty million, or even more than a hundred million, Turan people living in the lower and middle reaches of the Raging Tiger River.

“Although these natives seem to be half-human and half-beast and their military technology has entered the cold-weapon era, they remain uncivilized.

“However, the ancestors of the Turan people were like us. They came from the other side of the sea of stars and had a brilliant civilization. They even had the ability to travel through space!”

A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and the entire Dragon City was in an uproar.

“A civilization from the other side of the sea of stars?”

“They had technology that we don’t have to travel through space?”

Yun Feidian frowned as well because he could not figure Meng Chao out.

He did not understand whether Meng Chao was just trying to scare him or if there was any meaning behind his words.

Could it be that exaggerating the power of the so-called “Turan people” would help uproot the Blood Alliance?

Meng Chao ignored the noise around him and continued speaking.

“The current Turan people are made up of two major classes. One is the slave or lowborn class, which accounts for 95% of the total population. They are known as the rat people. The others are the Turan warriors, who account for 5% of the total population. They are equivalent to our noble class of superhumans.

“Although the latter class has fewer people, their combat power is several times or even dozens of times that of the former. They can literally fight one against a hundred.

“I know that the nine mega corporations have built crystal mines and forward operating bases outside Monster Mountain Range, and they’ve had some conflicts with the local natives. They’ve even captured some of them and used them to analyze the strength of all the natives. As a result, they deduced the possibility of ‘conquering the lower and middle reaches of the Raging Tiger River in a very short time at a very small price.

“I believe that many people have seen the deduction reports released by the major organizations. The conclusion is often that the Dragon City civilization only needs to show off a little force to occupy the Raging Tiger River’s lower and middle reaches and conquer all the natives without shedding a drop of blood.

“It’s a pity that, as someone who has traveled in Picturesque Orchid Lake for more than half a year, gotten deeply involved in Picturesque Orchid Lake’s local affairs, and gained a deep understanding of all the Turan civilization’s military potential and war culture, I have to tell you that these overly optimistic deductions are all nonsense. The decisions made according to these deductions will only drag the entire Dragon City and all its citizens into hell. They will never bring us any glory or victory!”

His shocking words set off a huge wave in the entire city.

If it were not for the fact that the speaker was Meng Chao, who had great appeal among the general public, his mysterious disappearance and legendary return would have seemed dramatic. Dragon City had just experienced two crises: The rat tide outbreak and the Golden Roc’s explosion. It was as though a bucket of cold water had been poured on everyone’s burning heads.

These words of “boosting the prestige of others and destroying one’s own morale” had long been used in waves of boos and objections.

“The Other World’s natives whom we’re in contact with now are all abandoned people who couldn’t survive in the Turan people’s traditional area of activity. Hence, they fled to the edge of Picturesque Orchid Lake. Even among the rat people, they’re the weakest.”

Meng Chao could sense the doubts that had gathered in the main city, and they were visible to the naked eye.

He continued. “The trained rat-people soldiers have tough bodies that are half-human and half-beast. Their speed, ability to jump, and cell activity are all higher than that of ordinary human beings.

“Perhaps they are slightly lacking in intelligence and limb activity on top of not being used to using firearms…

“But this doesn’t stop them from becoming the best cannon fodder under the Turan warriors’ command. They are capable of making us pay a terrible price.

“As for the Turan warriors, you can think of them as orcs with extraordinary powers, or rather…

“Existences that can use cold weapons to unleash the power of hot weapons, or rather…

“They are a fighting race with a high level of organization, war wisdom, and ten thousand years of military tradition.

“They are also familiar with the weather, terrain, and the distribution of animals and plants in the lower and middle reaches of the Raging Tiger River.

“It can transform any plain field into a hunting ground full of fatal traps.

“Yes, it’s possible that the flood of steel from Dragon City could turn the Turan orcs’ homes into a sea of fire through bombardment.

“But trust me, the highest honor for the Turan orcs is to die on the battlefield. They won’t surrender easily just because they’re surrounded by flames. On the contrary, the fiercer Dragon City’s artillery fire is, the higher the fighting spirit of the Turan orcs will be. They won’t surrender until the last Turan warrior has shed his last drop of blood!”

The doubts from Dragon City were getting stronger and stronger.

It was not that many normal citizens did not want to believe Meng Chao’s words.

However, Dragon City’s financial market managed to become so popular today because of the judgment that Dragon City civilization could easily occupy the lower and middle reaches of the Raging Tiger River and conquer the entire Other World.

Plenty of ordinary citizens, after listening to the professional analysis of the experts and scholars, had invested decades’ worth of their savings into investments related to the “colonization war.”

Many even had their insurance and pension directly bound to war bonds in various forms.

Expand, keep expanding, find new raw materials and new markets, produce more products, and then find more raw materials and a bigger market.

That was the lifeline of Dragon City’s civilization.

If the first step on the road of expansion was to run into a fearless race that had ten thousand years of military tradition, high individual combat ability, and zero records of surrendering, the Dragon City civilization would have no future to speak of!

“W-What is he talking about?” Yun Feidian muttered to himself.

He suddenly realized that his latest plan was about to fail again because before he could issue a threat to blow up Dragon City’s financial market…

Meng Chao would make the first move and shatter it!
