There was a patch of colorful clouds on the horizon, and I stared at it for a long time.
Red, a piece of blood red, so bright, yet desolate and strange.
It's exactly the same as the blood of hundreds of thousands of rioters.
There is no doubt that I won a complete victory in the first round of the battle with the Demon Alliance. But I can't let go of the deaths of hundreds of thousands of rebels in the Camp Empire - I didn't kill them, but they died because of me.
According to my original thoughts, including the turmoil in the royal family, the civil strife in Camp should continue for at least a month and a half. But I didn't expect that hundreds of thousands of troops from the Fifth Army would kill everyone on sight, leaving corpses everywhere.
All red...as if they were not the subjects of the Demonic Alliance, but the sworn enemies with whom they hated each other to the core.
They rolled their swords and wiped away the fog that shrouded me. From then on, my army and I had to go from behind the scenes to the front and engage in a head-on fight with the demon alliance.
And this is what I least want to see.
"Well..." I let out an unconscious moan and put my right hand on my cheek.
"Boss, how about we go back?" This was Jack speaking, "You have been sitting here for a long time."
"Why are you going back? Isn't it nice to look at the sunset?" I simply closed my eyes.
"Mafa should be back, he will bring back information."
Jack spoke carefully. He was reminding me that I was still a legion commander and that I still had the lives of 60,000 people in my hands.
"Okay, let's go back."
Taking over my helmet from Jack, the moment I put on this cold metal, the responsibility of being the commander of the legion fell heavily on my shoulders again... I allowed myself to be sad occasionally, but I didn't dare to let myself feel deeply.
After all, there are tens of thousands of eyes staring at me.
Just think of it as a confession!
"Boss, I want to ask you something."
"kindness."
"How do you know that the second prince Kemp will kill his eldest brother?"
"For this second prince, imperial power is something he has been dreaming about for thirty years." I said slowly, "That kind of temptation is irresistible."
"But what if he doesn't do it?"
"If he doesn't do it," I said to Jack without thinking, "then we'll do it for him."
The legion headquarters is located in a dense forest. Jack and I had just walked to the edge of the forest when we saw Mafa and a group of officers waiting there.
"What are you doing?" I walked over with a smile and kicked a few officers' butts. "Why are you looking so grim?"
"Hello, sir!"
"Sit, sit, sit!" I greeted everyone, encouraging them with my calmness. This was the first time for most of my officers to stand on the ground, so it was understandable to be a little nervous.
"Our liaison officer, tell us!"
"That's right. I compared the intelligence we had with the reconnaissance team leader just now. They are almost the same." Mafa said, "The total number of troops coming from the fifth theater is 100,000. They cooperated with the Camp Empire garrison.
They suppressed them all the way along the transportation line...Unfortunately, after hearing about the bloody suppression, the mob who were still full of fighting spirit a few days ago have thrown away their weapons and went home to farm."
"If they want to restore the transportation line," I asked, "how long will it take them?"
"Ten days at most." Mafa answered me. "They can repair the bridge passes that were damaged by us in ten days at most. They have been doing this."
"Well, what detailed information does the reconnaissance team have about this team?" I looked at the leader of the reconnaissance team.
The leader of the reconnaissance team stood up. He was from the Sha tribe and had a very cautious character.
"Sir, they marched in a dense formation, and the coordination between teams and teams, infantry and cavalry was very good." He said, "After the main force left, the defense was taken over by Camp's army."
"Staff, regarding this situation." I looked at Carlos again and asked, "What do you think?"
"Sir, we can't bear their dense formation." Carlos said to me, "There are more people than us, and they are stuck with Camp's army. We have little chance of winning at this time."
Indeed, I only have 60,000 men on hand, and I have no cavalry, so I cannot fight head-on with an army of more than 100,000.
“Any news from the Camp royal family?”
"The new emperor is eager to consolidate his imperial power and is making a lot of vassals. Even his gatekeepers and grooms have become nobles!" Mafa said, "These days, the Camp Empire is full of nobles, and you can grab them with just a stretch of your hand.
Get a lot of it!"
"The original nobles did not cause trouble?" I asked, "Is it true that the new emperor has started to eradicate the old forces as we thought?"
"That's the strange thing. It seems like someone is pointing out this emperor, and he hasn't taken action against the former eldest prince's power!"
"This must be an order given to him by the Demon Alliance Military Headquarters!" I slapped my thigh, "Damn it! Someone actually saw through our plan!"
"Then...we," Carlos said, "should we wait?"
"We can't wait! We can't wait! We are fighting across the border, and the logistics are quite tight." I stood up and walked to the map, "If this is the case... yes, that's it!"
"Boss!" Jack's eyes lit up, "You have a solution!"
"It's still a very good idea!" I smiled and stared at the two transportation lines marked in red on the map. "Inform officers at the level of regiment commander or above... to come to me immediately!"
"yes!"
The meeting ended soon after, and a group of troops who had received the mission left the camp. The order to Geert was also issued. I personally handed this order to a major, the highest-ranking herald.
I am confident that the new emperor Kemp and the demon army will be in chaos for a while, because I have found their weaknesses. Last time I made their civilians chaotic, this time, I want their nobles to be chaotic!
Marfa's information is very detailed, and with the addition of the reconnaissance team, we know the actual status of each town on the transportation line, the number of garrison troops, the status of the officers, and even who the lord is.
I personally set out with a Guards Battalion, targeting a nearby town. I wanted to test this action model before large-scale operations, and once this model was passed, the commander of the fifth theater of the Demon Alliance Army would have to be replaced.
!
Ten miles away from the town, the soldiers and officers of a battalion changed into the uniforms of the Demon Alliance, and I also wore noble clothes. These things were captured in the last attack. Fortunately, I did not order them to be burned at that time.
"Sir!" The officer scouting in front ran over.
"Your Excellency... Your Majesty!" Seeing me staring at him, he immediately changed his words, "The town is relatively peaceful. The original lord lives in the west of the town and has a guard of about 300 people. The new lord lives near the square and has a guard.
A guard of about a hundred people."
"Is this the only number of people in the town?" I asked.
"Not only that, there are also 500 Camp troops who have gone to inspect nearby villages. They will not be able to come back today."
"Who brought this camp army?" I asked again.
"It's the new lord!"
"The new lord..." I nodded and said, "Okay, let's start with this person first!"
"You go into the town and find the new lord." I said to another officer, "Just say that I am also a newly ennobled noble and I am passing by here on my way to another place... I will stay in the town tonight!"
"yes!"
The officer left, and I turned back to look at the soldiers.
"Listen carefully, I don't need you to abide by any military discipline now." I rode slowly in the queue, "Be more arrogant! Come into the town and obey my orders, and make trouble for me!"
"Report, sir!" A wingman soldier asked me cautiously, "What's going on?"
"It's up to you, you can go to someone's house for a big meal, or you can spit on the old lord's house!" I smiled, "Otherwise...do you want a woman?"
"Report to the commander." The Yiren soldier blinked and stammered, "No... I don't want to!"
"I order you to think, not only to think, but also to do it!" I tapped his helmet with the riding crop, "To touch those women's faces and thighs, to humiliate them... Just don't do it seriously!"
"yes!"
"Remember this! You are now part of the Camp Royal Army, and your commander has just been made a noble! You just follow your commander to enjoy the good things!" I shouted to the soldiers around me, "You are the hooligans! You are the ones.
Bandit! Make your eyes red! Let’s drool some more! If you see something delicious, feed it to me! If you see something good, grab it for me! If you see a beautiful woman, touch it for me!”
"yes!"
"Brothers!" I turned the horse's head to face the town, "You're welcome - get on me!"
"Come on..."
The town is still peaceful, but a group of bandits with red eyes and drooling are already swarming towards it.
The new lord was already waiting for us at the town gate drawbridge with his people. According to what he said, he was just a small officer. He was made a baron because he was a subordinate of Emperor Camp and met him several times.
Of course we "belonged" to the same faction and exchanged greetings in a "friendly" manner.
"Sir, what is your title?" He looked at my clothes and said, "I have been visited by nobles almost every day these days."
"Hey! Brother, I'm not doing well." I shook my head and said, "Your Majesty made me a viscount and gave me a small fief."
"Please go this way." He said with envy, "Viscount is very good, unlike me who is just a baron and has to salute everyone I see!"
"It's nothing strange." I smiled and said, "If you are willing, His Majesty will make you a viscount immediately."
"Really?" He was shocked, "How could it be?"
I leaned over and said a few words in his ear.
"This...didn't His Majesty say that we should try our best to maintain relations with these people?" He looked at me a little doubtfully, "Now is the time of the war!"
"Your Excellency, this is the difference. Yes, the atmosphere is tense now during the war, and the civil strife among the untouchables in the empire has just subsided..." I said, "Think about it, can your Majesty say this clearly? It depends on
Let’s figure it out for ourselves! Why is Your Majesty so anxious to seal us and put us in these places? Don’t you think it’s strange that there are two lords in one fief? If these people are not removed, what threat will it pose to His Majesty’s foundation? Your Majesty
I can only worry in my heart!"
"That……"
"Your Majesty just has no excuse. As His Majesty's people, we should contribute to His Majesty's foundation." I whispered, "Just let them take action first. Your people plus mine will be enough."
Bar?"
"But how can we get him to take action first?"
"Hey! The so-called taking action first is just an excuse. As long as you make up your mind, in fact, he will be dead if you take action!" I smiled and continued to enlighten him, "Someone asked afterward and pushed the matter to him...
…When His Majesty is in power, who dares to antagonize us? Of course, His Majesty will scold you a few times, but it won’t take long...”
"How about it!" His eyes were shining.
"The color of the ribbon on your clothes has changed, and the medal on your chest has become heavier." I said with great sincerity. "The fiefdom you manage is larger, and the power in your hands is not to mention - you can even order a mass wedding.
, let dozens of delicate and beautiful brides serve you at the same time..."
"Gu..." His throat was dry, "But..."
"It depends on what you want to do. I have to leave early tomorrow morning." I sighed, "I have to solve my own affairs first. Although my fiefdom is not big, there is an old lord here. I want to solve it as soon as possible.
he!"
"Then I..." He hadn't thought about it yet.
"If you make up your mind, I can help you with this before leaving."
"Your Excellency... you!" Upon hearing my words, he grabbed my arm fiercely, his voice and hands were trembling, "Please... give me a hand!"
"Okay! You go home now, close the door and drink." I nodded and said, "I'll light the first fire for you, and you don't have to worry about anything outside... I will ask someone to inform you after I'm done.
Just take someone to the old lord’s house to collect his body!”
"I..." He took off his hat and bowed to me, "I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to Your Excellency!"
"No need." I held his hand and said, "We are all His Majesty's subjects. Let's cooperate more in the future!"
"Then, should I go back first?" He explained to me the buildings in the town in detail, and then asked me.
"Of course." I smiled evilly at him, "There will be some chaos in the town. For the sake of your prestige, you'd better not be there."
He looked at the soldiers behind me. Perhaps the expressions of these soldiers reminded him of something, and he seemed a little hesitant.
"Okay!" He finally made up his mind, "I know it's hard for brothers to travel long distances... Please be restrained and leave something for me..."
"Don't worry, don't worry." I comforted him, "My brothers can't take anything with them. How about some food and drink without any blood?"
"Okay, then I'm going back." He nodded gratefully, "I'll ask someone to raise the suspension bridge."
Watching him leave, I couldn't help but shake my head - nobility, this is nobility!
It's getting late and we need torch lighting.
The soldiers have been holding back for a long time, and they dare not act without my order. Regardless of what I ordered them to do, a unit that maintains discipline in the face of such temptation is exactly what I want.
Looking up at the sky again, I spat out the grass roots in my mouth and said, "Start!"
Two hundred bandits who screamed "Ao Ao" rushed out and covered several streets in an instant... I rode slowly behind and strolled along a larger street.
"Bang!" A half-orc directly knocked open the door of a resident's house, turned around and came out with his hands full of things... He took out a pot with meat in it.
Then a few sandmen got in, and soon they came out carrying large and small bags of things...
The last ones to rush in were the Yiren, who first beat up the male host, and then touched the hostess... Just like my order, they didn't dare to do it seriously, they just chased the hostess and touched her, and touched the aunty-level woman.
Chasing from one room to another... there was also laughter that only "hungry" men would understand.
The noise, like ripples on the water, spread throughout the town, becoming wider and wider, gradually approaching the west of the town.
The new lord was very obedient. He and his men didn't show up, leaving us alone to do whatever we wanted outside.
As for the old lord, since he is an old lord, he must have a relationship with some people in this town. If he doesn't, then his subordinates will, right? As soon as they come forward, the excitement will start.
Times make heroes... This is wrong, it should be heroes who make times!
"Do you have eyes?" I almost twisted my nose in anger, "She has wrinkles all over her face and you still call her baby? Haven't you ever seen a woman?"
"Sir!" He puffed up his chest, "I've seen it before! But I've never done it like this!"
I looked up and looked around. Most of the soldiers were chasing the elderly "little babies", and their movements were restrained and their language was exaggerated... Are you trying to lure people out with such a clown performance? It's too late for them to watch the hillbilly performance!
"Fuck you!" I flicked my right foot and jumped off the horse. "Look at me!"
I threw the sword to the guard beside me and shouted, "Follow me!"
A dozen key members who had been assigned in advance to specialize in "teasing" followed me closely.
"You have to choose someone before you do this! The more beautiful and pure the selected woman is, the better the effect of arousing anger will be!" I whispered to the soldiers around me, "Generally speaking, the woman with a good family background will be beautiful.
!”
"Bang!" I pointed my hand, and a guard had already kicked open a door.
I rushed in with my people.
"Gentlemen! Gentlemen! Do you need anything?" A middle-aged man stood in the middle of the room, "Meat? Red wine? I'll help you gentlemen right away!"
"Fuck you!" I kicked him away without stopping for a moment, "Where would a woman hide? Under the bed in the bedroom! Behind the kitchen door! In the corners of the cellar and attic! Search for me!"
The soldiers did as I told them and started ruthlessly.
Not long after, a scream came from upstairs, "Ah..."
"Bring it down!" I yelled upstairs.
"Sir! There are two!" The person upstairs answered me, "Two sisters, one big and one small!"
The two girls stumbled down and screamed all the way.
"Watch it!" I said, "make her afraid of you, very afraid of you!"
So he grabbed the one running in front, clasped her hands with his right hand, and took off her chin with his left hand.
The girl was trembling in my hands, and I not only smiled "hehe" at her, but I also made the expression of someone who hasn't eaten in ten days when he sees food.
"Baby, what's your name?" I touched my lips with the tip of my tongue, then leaned over and smelled her hair, "Ah - the crazy fragrance..."
"Ah - Dad!" the girl shouted almost desperately, "Don't..."
"Ah - baby, don't scream." I let my eyes flicker, shook my head and said, "Let me hurt you, Master - if you don't obey, Master, I will have to let you hurt..."
The girl struggled hard, so I let go and let her run away a little.
"Why are you running? Master, what's wrong with me?" I loosened a button gracefully, and licked the fingers of my left hand that just touched her face, "Well - after serving me, master, I can have fun with my brothers.
Yile..."
"No! Don't come over!" The girl huddled in the corner, folded her hands on her chest, shook her head and said, "Please..."
"Please be gentle, sir...or else I will sell you to the orcs." I sneered and approached her, then loosened a button. (To be continued)
