Overcoming obstacles, the troops walked on a road that did not count as a road. The two sides of the road are more difficult to walk, to be precise, there is no road at all, and the trees on both sides are shady and dark. The vines are tangled and the rotten leaves are thick. What a pristine landscape!

But such a sinister environment also made those soldiers full of tears. They often grab handfuls of dirt from the ground and sniff the oily black soil, their eyes full of fanaticism. The affection of the family for the land is simply difficult to describe in words.

The clan has been preparing for the Bekaa Valley for decades, and even the spies have sacrificed hundreds of them in exchange for quite detailed information.

The whole valley is in the shape of a leaf, and the largest passage is at the ends of the leaf. Of course, there are more than a dozen small passages around, large and small. Surrounded by mountains, it basically forms a semi-enclosed area.

The entire Bekaa Valley covers an area of nearly 1,000 square miles. If fully developed, it would be enough to accommodate a million inhabitants. It can even be said that after occupying the Bekaa Valley, the strength of the clan can have a qualitative leap. Of course, the premise of a qiē is to occupy it first.

"Why do you choose the front valley? The back valley is much safer, and they can't fault it. Caponero muttered softly in Dipú's ear, his slight breath tickling Dipúrgen. Even Elaine nodded in agreement.

These days, the two girls have been thinking about this topic in fragments. The nagging and chattering and chattering were endless, and Dipu was eager to catch them in his hands and beat the little ass.

Dipu shrugged with a smile: "They don't want to choose, then I'll do it!"

Dipu's attitude of not caring made the two women's hearts burn. After pinching a few handfuls of the soft flesh on Dipp's waist, Elaine said, "I'll go and talk to Andrés." Let him come to the front valley as well. ”

"Forget it! Let them go!"

"Just you're generous, you're generous!"

"Huh. Don't make a fuss. To make a fuss...... Shall we be in the evening?"

"Phew!"

"Sister, Sister Elaine, I'm going to play with you tonight!"

"Uh......?"

In the middle of the Bekaa Valley, there are a series of large and small lakes that are connected like pearls. Naturally, the valley is divided into two halves. Obviously, from a safety point of view, the front valley is much more dangerous than the back valley.

Before this expedition, the divided territory was only a general stroke on the map, and the specific details had to be determined on the spot. In fact, although there are many newly sealed lords, the territory of Hougu is also enough, at most it is squeezed a little. If conservative, it should be united. Slowly nibbling away.

However, such cannibalization also has drawbacks. That is to completely abandon the former valley, so that the demonic beast can easily launch the beast tide through the passage of the former valley. This abandons the biggest advantage of choosing a valley - as long as the passage is sealed, it can basically prevent the emergence of large-scale animal tides, and achieve the effect of once and for all.

Therefore, building a strong stronghold in the front valley has many advantages, especially for the back valley to "shelter from the wind and rain" and provide an additional line of defense. But everyone knows the benefits, but who wants to go? If you are in the front valley, there are many dangers. There are lakes separated by them, which is very inconvenient for rear support, and it is almost an independent battle. So in the deliberations, no one wants to be such a "vanguard"!

See deadlocked. Without much thought, Dipu took the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility. Of course, everyone else raised their hands in welcome. And they also made concessions: first, the whole army went to Qiangu first. First, a walled city was built for Dipu, and second, the next 10,000 people were to be allocated to Dipu 4,000.

But in this way, the elders who were willing to follow Dip suddenly "disappeared" again. Only one elder named Fei Yang is still "no complaints and no regrets", which really makes people sigh that the world is hot and cold. And there was also a lot of grumbling in Dipp's troops. Even Caponero and Elaine were a little unhappy, complaining that Dipu was - a swollen face and a fat man!

"The front valley is dangerous, but the back valley is not dangerous?" Dipu explained with a smile, "Although my status here is the highest, and there are two of you, oh! Tina, you guys, but we really compare strength and status, and in the end we will always be squeezed out in the most dangerous direction, so there is no difference between the front valley and the back valley, it is better to have a high profile." ”

Looking at the maiden thoughtfully, Dipu continued: "There are too many lords squeezed in Hougu. In the future, there will always be conflicts, and when the time comes, intrigue and trouble. It's better to concentrate on fighting monsters in the former valley. At most, it will be a battle, and no one will tear down the platform behind it. ”

"If you think about it again, why did the Spirit Sect almost clash this time? It's not that the area around White Tower City has become difficult to develop, but the territory of those hereditary elders is expanding more and more. Don't forget one sentence: the greater the risk, the more the benefit! Even decades or hundreds of years from now, we can become a hegemon. ”

"And I've seen the terrain too. There are actually fewer passages in the front valley, but there are much more in the back valley, and the mountains around the front valley are steep, and the back valley is much gentler. Warcraft is not our family, so we must walk through the guò passage. They can also go over mountains and mountains, and even have flying monsters, so it looks like the front valley is dangerous, but I think ...... Not necessarily. ”

Hearing this, Caponero and Elaine's expressions were much soothed. However, Carbonero is still a little worried: "Although my husband said so, we are alone and afraid of ......"

"Are you afraid that if you can't keep it, no matter how good you are, it's vain?" asked Dipp with a smile.

Seeing Caponero nodding, Dipu continued to explain: "Because the benefits are more. There are thousands of reasons and thousands of reasons, but in the final analysis, there are too few of us. Now there are thousands of people, and in the future, the family members will move in, and it will be a thousand families. However, we can do three things: one is to encourage those soldiers to recruit idle tenant farmers to migrate, and the other is to attract the 4,000 people to settle down as much as possible by sealing the land. Of course, the standard of the land granted this time will be much lower, and there will be a gap between it and those soldiers who opened up the territory;

"The third is to take the initiative to recruit new adventurers. There are only us in the front valley, so there are separate benefits alone. There is a lot of wasteland here, who stipulates that we can only open up wasteland in our own territory? And we can also build our core private army according to your Aluo's construction, and put all the force in our hands. ”

"Here we can work together, but the lords of the back valley are scattered. Although they have a large number of people, they may not be able to beat us in terms of strength. Also, if we really encounter a beast tide that is far beyond our strength, we can completely give up part of the familiar land and recruit reinforcements from Hougu. Interests come first, they will always be tempted, right?"

"Take 10,000 steps back, if we really encounter an irresistible beast tide, we can't hold it in the front valley, and they can't hold it in the back valley either. So the result is no different!" (To be continued......)
