In Austin's previous life, there was a term on a national strategic level called proxy war.
As the name suggests, conflicts between two major countries do not involve direct warfare, but rather strike the enemy nation's territory and interests by supporting and aiding allies.
Now, the Dragon Nest Tribe has also begun planning this mode of warfare.
By supporting proxies, they conduct direct or indirect control, first sweeping through uncontrolled areas, and when the time is right, they annex them in one fell swoop to establish a Beastman Empire spanning across the entire Kawa Great Forest.
This method is less conspicuous and can save the Dragon Nest Tribe a lot of manpower and resources in the early stages of development.
After all, the Dragon Nest Tribe is in the developmental phase of significant infrastructural growth, coupled with the forest environment which is not conducive to direct expansion.
