The Kentana barbarians claim to be invincible on foot, but this is not just a boast.
They have extraordinary body shapes and are quite powerful. Even the half-grown Kentana barbarians have physiques and strength that far exceed those of ordinary people, not to mention that they have developed the habit of using their physiques and
Strength and the habit of fighting against the cruel natural environment.
When the power forms an absolute crushing force, the so-called skills are nonsense. The only thing you can do is to use your own speed to hide as far as you need.
Unfortunately, we are now in a confined space, blocked by these muscle lumps, making it difficult to turn around, let alone avoid.
Amidst the screams of ghosts and wolves, no one heard Gergild's cry to stop. Even if they heard it, no one paid attention to it. Obviously, for these barbarian warriors, the words of Man-Bear Yale were more useful.
In just a few minutes, apart from the mountain Kentana barbarians, the only person left standing in the banquet hall was Gergild. His bodyguard was also accidentally killed in the process.
Gergild murmured to himself with dull eyes: "How can you do this? How dare you do this? Why do you do this?"
It was obvious that the drama in front of him was not part of his plan. It was completely out of his script and was a drama added by the Kentana barbarians themselves.
The human bear Yale put his big hand stained with red and white stuff into his mouth without changing his expression, licked it, took two steps, looked down at Gergild condescendingly, and sneered: "Dad asked me to take the message.
Here it is, we are a cooperative relationship, not your tool. We must make this clear. This is just a small gift. If you do not fulfill your promise as soon as possible, next time, I will personally package you as a gift."
Gergild, who was so proud just a moment ago, felt a deep chill in his heart, followed by unforgettable regret.
He underestimated the ferocity of the Kentana savages in the mountains and overestimated his control over them.
The reason why barbarians are called barbarians is not only because of their barbaric physique, but also because of their unique and brutal way of doing things. Their respect for force and violence is far higher than that of Odin orcs, perhaps
In their eyes, being able to spare Gegild's life was already extremely lenient.
For the Andis Mountains, the mountain Kentana barbarians are like wild beasts put in a cage, completely breaking the balance here. Wherever they pass, there is a bloody storm, filled with the blood and corpses of the Andis people.
, which witnessed their invincible reputation and brutal temperament.
Although there were no tragic incidents of cannibalism, in the eyes of these people, human life was not valuable at all, whether it was the enemy's or their own.
When they became red-blooded and turned on their violent talents, even their own clansmen were afraid and had to stay away.
By the time the Yongye Group Army received accurate information, the entire Walled City Alliance had been destroyed.
It's not that the espionage system of the Yongye Army is weak, but that the Kentana barbarians in the mountains are advancing too fast, which is only slightly faster than the speed at which the Yongye Army launched a full-line attack.
The Yongye Army relies on carefully planned tactics and advanced communication systems.
The mountain Kentana savages inspire fear through bloody methods.
At first, the Andis people were barely able to form a stronghold and defend themselves. However, after seven or eight villages were continuously washed away with blood by chickens and dogs.
The rest is to flee, not only the rulers, but also the ordinary mountain people, leaving only empty cities and villages for the mountain Kentana barbarians.
The defeated Andis mountain people rushed towards Sishui City like a tide. It seemed that only here could they gain some sense of security.
At this moment, Sishui City is no longer overcrowded, but is about to be overcrowded.
The original residents of Sishui City were those who migrated after the defeat of the Three Cave Alliance, those who fled from the scourge of mutated beasts and time, and now there are also war refugees driven by the Kentana barbarians in the mountains.
Sishui City, which could only accommodate a population of 70,000 to 80,000 people, now has a total of 300,000 people, just a lot more.
It seems that all the surrounding Andis mountain people have gathered here.
In Sean's previous life, the population of 300,000 was probably not as large as the population of a small county, let alone a megacity with a population of one million or even tens of millions.
But in this world, a population of 300,000 is definitely a large number. There is only one known city with a population exceeding this number - Valesta, the capital of the Byron Alliance.
This is a deformed monster that was born under the support of most of the Asia Minor plains. Otherwise, the current purely agricultural structure is self-sufficient. Fifty to sixty thousand is a medium-sized city, and a hundred thousand is a great big city.
For Ben Hebrew, three hundred thousand is not a help, but a huge burden. Many people took very limited food when they fled, and it is the middle of winter again.
Although it has not yet reached the coldest season, the heavy snowfall a few days ago has completely sealed the mountain.
Although the Andis inland lake has not yet frozen, the water is so cold that even strong knights do not dare to stay in it for too long.
When people eat horse chews, their daily consumption is a terrifying figure.
In desperation, Ben Hebrew could only send an envoy to the Evernight Army.
This time, Ban Hebrew's envoy did not encounter any accidents and successfully met Sean, the supreme ruler of the Evernight Army.
The two parties met and exchanged pleasantries for a while. To Sean's surprise, the middle-aged man with a somewhat feminine look in the lead turned out to be Bran, the only son of Ban Hebrew.
It seems that Ben Hebrew was indeed driven to the edge of the cliff by Gergild's invitation. In order to express his sincerity, he had to send his own son out, nominally as a messenger, but actually as a hostage.
Brann said straight to the point: "Dear General, I know that there are differences in political opinions between the two sides, but the current situation is very special. Those Kentana barbarians are ferocious in nature and kill everyone on sight. They are even more ferocious than bloodthirsty beasts.
, they are trying to seize everything that belongs to us Andis people. Gegild, this idiot, let in a ferocious beast that he cannot control at all. It doesn't matter if our alliance is defeated, I am afraid that the entire Andis people will also die.
Genocide."
"Is Mr. Brann exaggerating? As far as I know, the total number of these mountain Kentana barbarians is only ten thousand. Our Andis Mountains stretch thousands of miles. Even if one person occupies a mountain top, they can't occupy them all, let alone
It is to exterminate the Andis people." Sean replied expressionlessly.
Although the Evernight Army attaches great importance to the invasion of the Kentana barbarians in the mountains, it must not show it, as that will make the Evernight Army passive at the negotiation table.
The so-called art of negotiation sounds very high-level, but in fact it boils down to a few simple sentences.
While letting the opponent not figure out his own bottom line, you can also figure out the opponent's bottom line and demands, and exchange for the maximum benefit at the minimum cost.
When Brann appeared here, the Walled City Alliance's bottom line and demands had been exposed.
The most important thing for Sean now is to make the other party unclear about his attitude, so as to maximize the interests of the Yongye Group Army.
"Your Excellency, the general, must not underestimate these barbarians. Each of them has strength and physique that is not inferior to that of the knights. Their only shortcoming is speed, which is made up for in the military formation. When they charge in groups, they are unstoppable, and even the solid city walls can't be stopped.
Nothing can stop their advance."
"I admit that the general's subordinates are powerful, but in fighting against such a powerful enemy, the winning rate is probably very low, and a heavy price will be paid. I don't think that is what the general wants to see."
"The Walled City Alliance is now completely collapsed, which is of no benefit to the general. Putting aside the powerful invaders, the hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Sishui City will lose their attachment points and disperse in all directions. They will have no influence on the general's territory.
I'm afraid the impact will be greater than that of those barbarians. When they come in, how will your Excellency General deal with it?"
"The best way now is for us to join forces to eradicate them completely and let them know that the mountains are not so easy to enter, and they will never dare to invade again!"
Brann's thorough analysis showed that he was completely on the side of the Evernight Army.
As a military staff officer of the Yongye Group Army, there is absolutely no problem with his analysis. At the emergency military meeting just held yesterday, someone made such an analysis and it was unanimously approved.
Half a month ago, the military staff of the Yongye Group Army was mainly studying how to destroy the Walled City Alliance with minimal losses.
What they need to study now is how to sustain the Walled City Alliance. Even if it is to be destroyed, it will not be under the current situation.
If the Walled City Alliance is destroyed, the Yongye Army will directly face that terrifying army of humanoid beasts.
The most troublesome thing is the more than 300,000 soldiers and civilians gathered in Sishui City. Once they are defeated, they will inevitably flock to the Yongye Group Army.
At that time, the Yongye Army will face a dilemma.
Taking them in will directly disrupt the original layout of the Yongye Group Army and turn it into a pot of gruel. Next spring, they will face a food crisis. The most dangerous thing is the mountain Kentana barbarians following them.
They might take advantage of the chaos.
If we don't accept them, the reputation that the Yongye Group Army has managed to build up will plummet.
Reputation is something that is easy to lose, but if you want to win it back, the price you pay will increase by hundreds of thousands.
As an envoy, Brann's level was quite average. He couldn't hold his breath, acted too eagerly, and fell into passivity from the beginning.
Sean, on the other hand, was not in a hurry to express his position, and said ambiguously: "We will discuss your suggestion in the long term. You have come from a long way, why don't you take a rest and we will talk about it later."
"The war is raging, and those barbarians will come to the city at any time. If the general makes a decision as soon as possible, we will have more time and room to maneuver. By the time the army comes to the city, it will be too late." Brann persuaded with some urgency.
Before coming, his father, Ben Hebrew, had already organized manpower and wanted to use geography to carry out a wave of sniper attacks. He sent him to the Yongye Group Army. It was just a double insurance. In case of failure, there would be reinforcements as help, and in victory, it would be stable.
The Yongye Group Army should not be allowed to launch a surprise attack from behind when the Walled City Alliance is at its weakest.
Brann is not optimistic about this. Although he has not directly faced the Kentana barbarians in the mountains, he has seen the mountain people who fled to Sishui City.
He only felt endless fear and despair in them, but lacked the courage to stand up and resist.
One person or two people can also be explained by saying that they are cowards.
But this is true for a group of people, including those vulture shooters who have been stumbling around in the mountains since childhood.
It is impossible for the Andis people to have their backs broken overnight. There is only one possibility for this to happen.
That is, the enemy is too powerful, so powerful that they cannot resist.
"It is precisely because of the strength of the enemy that we have to consider the long term and hastily send troops. Not only will it not help the situation, but it will drag both sides into the swamp of war. Mr. Brann, take a rest and we will give you an answer as soon as possible." Sean.
His expression was as sincere as he wanted, but his words were mostly evasive and he didn't give any accurate answers.
Brann wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the great knight who was accompanying him. He reminded him in a low voice: "This matter is of great importance. Master, why don't you give the general some time to think about it? I believe that if you are wise,
General, you should know your priorities clearly."
Brann was stunned for a moment, and then said apologetically: "I was too impatient. Please consider it carefully, general. We will wait for good news."
Follow the waiter into the temporary residence.
Brann was still a little restless and paced back and forth: "Mr. Jodi, what is the other party's intention? Now that the Walled City Alliance has been broken, it is beneficial to them and harmless. With such a simple truth, they don't understand why they still push and hold back.
?”
"Master, please be patient. The structure of the Eternal Night Legion is different from ours. Even if the other party is the general of the Eternal Night Legion, he cannot make an arbitrary decision on such a big matter. Only after discussion and weighing can the other party give us an accurate answer.
Let’s see how the other party responds first.”
Lord Knight Jodi sighed inwardly. Although the young city lord was smart, he had been following the city lord Ben Hebrew all year round, so his experience in all aspects was ultimately a little shallow.
Many things cannot be simply measured as right or wrong, especially the relationship between two forces.
The other party will never sit idly by, but when to take action, the initiative lies in the other party's hands. They don't care about the life or death of the Walled City Alliance. The starting point of their interests must be their own.
Being able to both eliminate the Kentana barbarians in the mountains and swallow up the Walled City Alliance in one go is what the opponent really wants to plan.
They must try their best to deal with it and win a glimmer of hope for the Walled City Alliance. Judging from the current situation, there is a long way to go.
"That's all it can do." Brann said helplessly.
The Walled City Alliance is now a catfish in the cracks. No matter how hard it jumps, there is nothing good to be gained.
Even if they survive the invasion of the Kentana barbarians in the mountains, they still cannot resist the large-scale invasion of the Evernight Army.
I have long hated the culprit Gergild in my heart. Has this idiot’s brain grown up to his butt?
If he lets such a group of murderous gods enter the mountain, even if he defeats Ben Hebrew and the Yongye Army, what will be left for him in the end?
What's more, it's easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. He doesn't want to think about how to send these plague gods out when the time comes.
When the time comes, the entire Andis Mountains will become the property of the mountain Kentana barbarians, and he will be nailed to the pillar of shame of the Andis people.
Thinking of his father's face, which had aged dozens of years overnight before departure, Brann felt a little sad. They all understood that no matter what the outcome, the Walled City Alliance was finished, and all they could do now was to save the three hundred thousand people.
