After a brief month of peace, the two sides went to war again at the end of July. This warmest season in the North also became the most difficult time for the Northern lords.

In the early days, the Fairywood army had the upper hand and gradually approached the territory where Her Majesty the Queen was. However, in the subsequent battle, they suffered a major ambush and raid, and a large amount of supplies and materials were burned. The fierce resistance of the local residents also made many justice-minded soldiers hesitate and their morale was low.

The front army, which suffered heavy losses, had to stop again, and the rear headquarters of Fairywood also sent an order to temporarily stop the attack.

"Why!?"

Although they had expressed their willingness to respect the orders from the rear headquarters, some officers on the front line were still filled with anger and confusion.

"That's enough. If we continue like this, we will stray from our original intention." The messenger replied.

Unlike the frontline officers who were already caught up in the situation and overwhelmed by various emotions, the rear of the organization had been looking at the issue of fighting in the North with caution and calmness.

"What we want is a united country and a future of shared happiness. If the war is allowed to continue in such a brutal and radical way, then this idea will be shattered."

The intensity of the war in the north has now exceeded the originally preset threshold, which has forced the Fairywood Organization to slow down and start to conceive new methods to solve the problem in a gentler and more effective way.

Perhaps unification through the use of force and violence would only take a few months, but the aftereffects and historical issues brought about by the war would be difficult to resolve even if it took hundreds of years. This is why the Fairywood organization is so cautious. The past history is still vivid in their minds. The reason they established such an organization is to avoid the same tragedy from happening again.

"Our enemies have never been the residents and the general public of the North. Or rather, those are the ones I need to win over, our future brothers and comrades. The real enemies are actually only a small group: the original nobles of the North, those who hold power but are extremely rigid and conservative."

After the reasons for the order were explained, the officers gradually understood it, but they were still worried about the future policy.

If we don't rely on war, do we still expect to make the other party give up by engaging in verbal battles?

"I'm not arguing. Even I know that's unrealistic. It's just that what we need is something that can change the course of the battle while reducing casualties."

"So, what do you mean?"

"Just wait a little, in a few months you will understand."

Contrary to its usual practice, the army organized by Xiannvmu no longer insisted on attacking, but started a new round of defense construction and appeasing the people.

A lot of seeds and fertilizers were shipped from the south, and many elves who were good at planting were also mobilized to the north to help the local residents who were already short of food to start farming, striving to obtain enough food in the second half of the year to replenish the granaries that were levied by the nobles and were running low.

The North was already poor, and just a few years after the cold disaster, food was still often in short supply and needed to be purchased and transported. On the eve of this war, the nobles collected a large amount of grain, which caused many local residents to be in a semi-starved state.

However, this situation was often masked by the cruel and direct war, and no one cared or paid attention to it. It was not until the time slowly passed and the second half of the year that the famine trend gradually spread, and many residents began to worry and panic.

Fairywood's assistance touched people's hearts and softened the originally fiercely resisting local residents. This also gave the exhausted members of the organization who were responsible for appeasing them a great relief.

Gradually, as the troops stationed in various places helped the local residents with farming, some ideas and concepts finally began to be introduced into the gradually loosening local residents.

It is difficult for you to feel as much hostility as you did in the past towards those who worked with you, reclaimed the land, helped you build reservoirs, roads, and houses, and sat around the campfire with you to eat and chat.

Gradually, with this simple action, the members of the Fairywood Organization were gradually accepted by the locals and began to communicate with each other. They would occasionally visit each other, bring food, work together, talk about their hometowns, the future, children, future life, etc.

When people have beautiful expectations and imaginations about the future, everything will be peaceful and stable.

Through conversations and exchanges with members of the Fairywood Organization, these residents gradually learned about what life in the South Territory is like now, the civilization of the new world, the flaws and shortcomings of the past system, the fact that the empire will eventually be eliminated, and so on.

If one person's words may be a lie, what about hundreds or thousands of people? Are they all lying, and are they all telling lies so truthfully, logically and vividly?

Some things, once started, cannot be stopped, and once the mind is awakened, it is difficult to return to the chaotic state of the past.

Gradually, the local residents no longer had a tense relationship with the local garrison and were no longer wary of each other, and various construction projects in Fairywood were gradually implemented.

At first, they used work-for-relief to get everyone involved in the road construction, then distributed grain and food, and then organized and built the local Fairywood branch, slowly absorbing local people to join.

Finally, the North was slowly assimilated and joined the organization, becoming one of it.

The second half of the year passed slowly, and by November, the roads between the northern frontier and the central part of the empire had been basically cleared and leveled, making travel much faster. At this time when many residents were preparing for winter, tiny black shadows flew across the winter clouds in the sky.
