Although after nearly two years of hard work in blood and fire, neither the soldiers nor the equipment were the same ragtag group as before, but in a head-on battle with the regular army, except for Di Kelong and his direct descendants, everyone from top to bottom was beating the drum in their hearts.
After all, the victory achieved by the slave rebel army in the past two years relied more on Dikron's tactics, and the results of the confrontation with the regular army led by Manyu's army were usually not particularly good.
The troubles laid by the slave rebellion at the beginning completely broke out during its heyday.
Starbuck and Dixon are very different in terms of their origins and experiences, which determine their way of dealing with the world.
In the beginning, when the slave rebels were in danger, they could still suppress their individuality and work together to overcome the difficulties.
But when the external threats become smaller, as the position becomes higher and more powerful, their personality will not only be vividly displayed, but even amplified to some extent, after all, they can now influence a group of people.
"Starbuck doesn't necessarily really believe in the peace talks at the negotiating table, nor does he really believe in the guarantees of Philip and Patram. I am more inclined to think that this is a means for him to check and balance Dixon.
means."
"I don't need to say more about Di Kelong's reputation. We have studied his battle cases repeatedly. Under all conditions, I dare not say it is the best. At least none of you here can do it.
He is a rising star, and his fame has already spread throughout the Byron League with his glorious achievements. No one can underestimate his tactical talent because of his background as a slave gladiator.
.”
"But all this is not necessarily what Starbuck wants to see. Previously, we have analyzed Starbuck's character. He is a typical conspirator who cannot be more typical. The slave rebel army is just him.
The tool for promotion to a higher position is only a combination of ambition and talent. He failed to use this double-edged sword well from the beginning. He far underestimated the contradiction between the slaves and slave owners of Manyu Army, and also far underestimated Diklong's ability. In the end,
It’s hard to get off a tiger.”
"In the past year, Dixon's strong rise has greatly marginalized Starbuck. If this continues, it won't be long before the entire slave rebel army will only know the Blood Storm General Dixon, but not him.
Tabak, he must take corresponding measures before this happens."
"I think that in the next period of time, the biggest enemy of the slave rebel army will no longer be external, but internal. If their leadership can unify their consciousness and ideas, they may be able to achieve more brilliant results, otherwise they will be
From prosperity to decline, internal and external difficulties, it will fall apart at any time. I have a pessimistic attitude towards this, so we need to be fully prepared for both."
"If the slave rebel army succeeds in moving south, we can just sit back and wait and see. Philip and Patram still have a civil war to fight. Not only do they have no time to pay attention to us, but they may extend an olive branch to us and temporarily stabilize us."
"If the slave rebel army fails to move south and falls apart, we have something to do. Should we help them at the critical moment? Or should we take the biggest piece of cake from them?"
This analysis by Bull Erikson, the First Military Staff Officer of the Military Staff Department of the Yongye Group Army, received a burst of applause.
It is now a regular military meeting of the Military Staff of the Yongye Group Army.
It has become a routine practice to use the information in hand to analyze the world and surrounding events.
They have seen the dividends brought by thinking about problems from a macro perspective. As long as they seize the opportunity, they can reap considerable benefits even from unrelated events.
This time, the slave rebellion broke out under the leadership of Man Yu, and there were many victims. Only the Yongye Group Army was the one who suffered the most. Others should remember them well, especially the slave rebel army.
Nowadays, the middle and lower-level soldiers of the Slave Rebel Army have a natural affection for the Yongye Group Army. After all, whether it is the equipment they use or the food they eat, a large part of it is produced by the Yongye Group Army. They are full of enthusiasm for the relatively stable and prosperous life there.
longing for.
Only those who have suffered the scourge of war will understand the value of peace.
In the past two years, the slave rebel army has been traveling here and there, rarely staying in the same place for more than three months. Even when it was a neighbor of the Yongye Group Army, it was always in a state of movement.
As time goes by, many people will inevitably feel war-weary, especially those at the bottom.
The attachment of the farming people to the land has been deeply rooted in their bones. Compared with the wandering and precarious life, it is human nature to yearn for a stable and prosperous life.
In addition, the Slave Rebel Army had pioneered the use of people to exchange supplies from the Yongye Group Army from the beginning, even though it was later discovered that this transaction had great drawbacks and was urgently stopped.
Even so, it still could not stop the soldiers of the slave rebel army from escaping to the Yongye Group Army.
The top leaders of the slave rebel army were very angry about this and lodged a strong protest to the Yongye Group Army and demanded the repatriation of the escaped soldiers.
How could the Yongye Group Army be willing to spit out the meat that was in their mouths, not to mention that this involved a diplomatic attitude.
The response of the Yongye Group Army is quite tough. Anyone who enters their territory belongs to their territory and has the obligation to protect their safety. However, for the sake of friendly relations between the two parties, the Yongye Group Army will give certain material compensation to the slave rebel army as appropriate.
No matter how much resentment they have in their hearts, the slave rebels can only hold their noses and admit it. After all, they now rely heavily on the Yongye Group Army. If they lose this line, their life will be many times more difficult.
The only thing the slave rebels can do is to strengthen their own management and use severe punishment to plug this loophole.
However, as long as we are adjacent to the Yongye Group Army, there is no way to prevent this kind of thing.
The Yongye Army's attitude toward the slave rebels has always been neutral, neither hostile nor unconditionally supportive.
Any decision-making is based on self-interest and the pursuit of maximizing interests is the instinct of an interest group.
This is the same attitude towards the defeat of the slave rebel army.
This is also controversial within the Yongye Group Army.
Whether the slave rebel army is defeated or not will have both advantages and disadvantages for the Yongye Army.
The good thing is that with the slave rebel army as a big target, the Yongye Army can calmly develop itself and increase its strength.
If it weren't for the turmoil they brought about, the development of the Yongye Group Army would never have been so smooth. It was struggling to survive in the cracks between the Manyu Army Leader and the Walled City Alliance, and the pace of development would never have been as fast as it is now.
Even going south has its advantages. Now the compromise trading model can still continue, waiting for the slave rebel army to search for wealth for the Evernight Army in disguise.
The only flaw is that the two parties' forces are no longer directly connected, and the transaction process will be a lot more troublesome. At that time, Angie Beina's power may have to be used to make the other party scrape off a layer of skin in vain.
If the slave rebel army is defeated, the Yongye Group Army can also profit from it, and their defeated soldiers are precious wealth.
These days, the most precious thing is people. Only with enough manpower can we cultivate more land, open more workshops, and create more wealth.
For those lords who easily deprive their people of their lives and cruelly exploit their people, the Eternal Night Army despises them the most, because it is the most incompetent performance.
The routine military meeting ended, and there was still no precise conclusion.
The main reason is that the current situation under the leadership of Manyu is complicated, with fierce entanglements of interests and changing rapidly. They have talked and formulated countermeasures here, but tomorrow the situation will suddenly change, the situation will be reversed, and their plans will become a pile of waste paper.
After all, a plan is a plan and needs to be adjusted based on actual conditions.
What's more, the slave rebel army has just traded a large amount of food and grass from the Yongye Group Army, which is enough to last for several months. Coupled with its own output, it will not be a problem to last for a year and a half, no matter how hard their senior leaders fight.
Fierce, as long as the soldiers at the bottom are not hungry, they will not collapse easily.
"General, general, the meeting is over." Marshall reminded in a low voice.
"Ah? Ah! It's over? Sorry, I was just rehearsing something and got distracted." Sean, who was wandering in a daze, finally calmed down.
"Understood." Marshall nodded and said, "The general has invested too much energy in the research of biological anomalies recently, and it is inevitable that he is too busy to do anything. If it is not possible, there is no need to attend the next regular military meeting in person. Anyway, in such a meeting
, and no substantive decisions will be made. I will just have someone send you the minutes of the meeting."
"There are some things that can save trouble, and there are some things that cannot be saved. As the supreme commander, I must set an example. Next time, I will try to control my thoughts so that this situation will not happen again." Sean answered seriously.
road.
Some things can be handled by someone else, but some things cannot be done. For example, some important documents and data reports must be personally reviewed by him. Those who can attend the regular military meetings of the Military Staff must attend in person.
Because the former is the key to his understanding of the overall development of the Yongye Group Army, and the latter is to understand the thinking trends of the middle and high-level leaders of the Yongye Group Army.
Only by firmly grasping the two in one's own hands can the racing chariot of the Yongye Army stay on track.
Sean was indeed distracted just now, but it didn't mean that he didn't listen to the content of the normal meeting at all. On the contrary, not only the content of the meeting was all in his mind, but as long as he thought about it, the expressions of the speakers and even the observers were all reflected in his mind.
Vividly in my mind.
As his potential continues to be explored and his magic power continues to grow, Sean's will, perception and intelligence are also improving.
A person's IQ should be innate and only related to the degree of development and one's own situation.
At least that's what Sean thought before becoming a warlock.
This one is totally useless for warlocks.
As his age and magic power increase, Sean's IQ is also improving at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Sean, who has lived two lives, feels this most deeply.
Because in his previous life, he was a little smart, but he was still far from the top. At least, he never got into the prestigious Tsinghua University and Peking University.
Ever since he was a child, even if he was number one in the class, let alone his grade, he was rarely associated with him.
But now, if he is given a chance to do it again, he is absolutely confident that he will take first place, or tie for first place, if the opponent is also a warlock who has mastered the power of magic to a certain extent.
Sean's memory and logical thinking ability have reached an astonishing level. If Sean's previous brain was compared to a computer with 2G processing memory, then his current brain has 8G processing memory and an independent graphics card.
The speed of processing information per unit time and the amount of information that can be accommodated at the same time are not at the same level at all.
It can make Sean's brain freeze now, no, his mind wanders, which shows how complicated the problem he just thought about is.
Now there is only one problem that can make Sean so involved - the beast mutation incident.
For ordinary mountain people, the beast mutation incident has passed, at least for the mountain people under the jurisdiction of the Yongye Group Army. Occasionally, if a mutant beast appears again, it will be killed or captured immediately by the mountain patrol team.
But for the Yongye Army, this is just the beginning.
Mutated beasts are still appearing continuously, and according to the current summary statistics, the overall number is growing in an incremental manner.
The Biological Anomaly Research Institute is also working day and night to study the reasons for the abnormality of these beasts, but with little success, because their current situation is like trying to figure out the growth principle of its parent body by studying the fruit, and the difficulty has doubled.
But the problem is, they know where the root is, but they can't try it easily.
Someone once proposed using those death row prisoners to explore the situation in the Grand Canyon of Odin, but Sean rejected it with one vote.
Not only because there is a former leader of the Holy Ether Sword in his territory, but also because both as a person and as a force, you should have your own bottom line - respect life, especially the lives of the same kind.
When a force begins to disregard life, its behavior will inevitably become crazy and extreme. The ancient Antis Empire is the best proof.
The beast mutates, causing Sean to rethink an issue - the nature of magic power.
In the past, Sean had tried to use the scientific knowledge he had learned in his previous life to explain the power of magic, and he had barely found a human body magnetic field that could explain it.
However, as the power of one's own magic continues to grow stronger, and the data collected increases, this statement is somewhat untenable, especially the mutation of beasts, which goes directly to the cellular genetic level.
The human body's magnetic field is far from reaching this level.
This invisible, yet real power is far more profound than Sean imagined.
Everything happens for a reason.
Beast mutations cannot appear for no reason. Sean is more inclined to speculate that there is a huge magic power emission source and a high-frequency signal emission source in the Grand Canyon of Odin. The two may exist alone, or they may be combined.
For one.
As for whether it is natural or man-made?
Why didn't it appear before and suddenly appeared now?
This issue is still under exploration.
During this time, Sean dug out all the books and documents on the Ancient Andis Empire that he could collect, and read them word by word.
Sean had an intuition that could not be described in words. He always felt that this matter was related to the Guandis Empire.
SkyTang readers said in this chapter that they have urged for more updates several times, haha, for the sake of the monthly pass, although the monthly pass is of little use to Yongye, it is just a reason to add more updates!
