In order to maintain their own wealth and income, the big mine owners can only turn their attention to other sources of mining slaves. The turbulent military leader Manyu is one of them, and the crocodile tribesmen in the Despair Swamp are the other.
The majority of the criminal alliance's income in recent years has been the slave trade, and there is a trend of transforming into the Bastille.
Most of the Crocodile Tribe forces in border cities are not clean, and no race is short of scum. Without their help, other forces alone would not be able to recruit a large number of people from the Crocodile Tribe.
As a result, the relationship between the two parties deteriorated sharply, and local conflicts never ceased.
But it's one thing to know where you're at risk, and another to reach a consensus.
There were hundreds of people present, hundreds of smart people, each with one mind and one idea, just like a pile of tangled knots with thousands of threads.
It's not that difficult to twist them into a rope.
Especially when it comes to dominance, everyone becomes red-faced and refuses to give in to anyone.
Are you kidding? We are all the people of the Water God. Why should you lead us? Instead of me leading you?
Having said that, if they could reach a consensus, they wouldn't be in disarray now.
"If you want to reach political consensus, you must achieve military unity. As for their council of elders, even if they hold meetings for another half a year, they still won't be able to come up with a result." Sean placed a piece of fish fillet that was cut with even thickness on the table.
Once it's in the shabu-shabu, it's rolled in various dipping sauces and put into your mouth. It slides directly into your stomach without chewing. It's an ultimate enjoyment.
Others followed suit and couldn't help but show expressions of satisfaction every time they took a bite.
Since coming to this world, Sean has rarely eaten anything that is not very mature. These days, there is a lack of medical treatment and poor medical conditions. He has parasitic diseases, which is very difficult to deal with. Most of the methods he can use can hurt the enemy a thousand times.
The poison that caused 800 damage, even after killing the insects, caused a serious illness.
The original Great Knight Aqil was the best negative example. Although it was a blessing in disguise that he found an opportunity to break through to the Champion Knight, his life was hanging by a thread. A little carelessness could endanger his own life.
Therefore, even if he is successfully promoted to the Grand Knight, Sean will remain cautious.
But there are always exceptions to everything, and this dish is it.
The fish they are cooking now is a specialty of the Danube River. The crocodile people call it Yintao fish. Not only because they are silver in color, but also have a homophonic meaning of making waves. This fish likes to chase waves, and seeing them means it means
There are huge waves not far away.
The waterway of death, which no human beings were allowed to enter, was their greatest paradise.
Their unique habits result in their small size, but their meat is particularly strong and tastes no worse than beef.
Especially when it is cooked like this and half-cooked, the original flavor is fully retained. It does not require too much sauce, just a bowl of salt water and a dip in it, it is extremely delicious.
Regrettably, as the Nu River of Despair transforms back into the Danube River, even if their number does not decrease sharply, there will no longer be so many dangerous waves for them to chase, and the taste of meat will no longer be as delicious as it is now.
Take the opportunity to feast your eyes on it.
After sending the eleven Crocodile Clan elders off the ship, the Panshi did not return to the Andis Inland Lake, but stationed on the spot, waiting for news from the Crocodile Clan.
Unexpectedly, the wait lasted only half a month. The Alligator Tribe's Council of Elders met every two days and held meetings endlessly.
Think with your butt and know what they are doing.
The situation of the Crocodile tribe is far more complicated than Sean and the others expected. It is difficult to reach a consensus in this kind of parliamentary organizational structure, especially on matters such as peaceful annexation with the leader of the Yongye Army, because there are all kinds of voices in it.
All.
"I have said before that for this kind of thing, you have to rely on your own fists. If you have a big fight with them and scare them away, we don't need to ask for help at all. They will honestly ask to join us.
."
Tagore waved his fist while eating, still not forgetting to promote his theory of power.
"Drink wine, eat meat, eat meat." Skullcrusher Mikey grunted while eating, "Don't worry about this. Let them make plans and leave them to the Military Staff. Those military officers
Staff officers, what’s the name of the one who has all the features? He has seven orifices and an exquisite heart, and his heart is black and has more holes than ordinary people. I estimate that other backup methods have been prepared for a long time. Don’t worry, sooner or later someone will give way.
There are endless battles you can fight."
Compared to this veteran leader of the Evernight Army, Tagore's time of joining was too short after all, and he was more powerful.
Now Skullcrusher McGee has learned to hide his clumsiness and rarely expresses his opinions in various military and political meetings. This does not mean that his influence has become smaller. As long as the legions under his control are sophisticated and powerful enough, there will be no
People will ignore his existence and disrespect his opinions.
This can also be regarded as a symbol of becoming more mature and stable, but the way he picks up vegetables and meat for the plus-size beauties around him, while smiling, greatly reduces this image.
This beauty, who is taller than ordinary people even when sitting, is naturally the princess of the Cliff Clan, the leader of the Kentana barbarian mercenaries in the mountains, and the fourth wife of Skullcrusher McGee.
The leader of the Eternal Night Army is now at peace with the war, and all the mountain Kentana barbarian mercenaries have been recruited to work as construction workers. She is basically idle.
This time, he showed his strength to the crocodile tribe and dragged her over. After all, she was an out-and-out champion knight.
Compared to her relatively well-proportioned figure, her belly is a bit big now. Of course, it's not because the food Yong Yejun received is too fat, but because she's pregnant.
Her current situation has once again solidified the argument that although the champion knight's body structure is the same as that of ordinary people, it is actually another species.
She has been pregnant for one year and two months, and she has no intention of giving birth.
Because of this, Skullcrusher Mikey was not frightened, so he asked Sean, who easily stopped treating people, to personally check on his wife's condition.
According to the magic detection, the conditions of Nicola and her baby are extremely normal. They are not stillborn or deformed, but their development is a little slower. They are only three or four months older than a normal baby.
According to this situation, it is not impossible to give birth to a baby after three years of pregnancy.
The person who is most concerned about the child in Nicole's belly right now is Sean.
He was very curious about what kind of little monster the two champion knights would give birth to after three years of pregnancy.
Everything in this world seems to be changing abnormally, but Sean is not very surprised now. Even if someone comes out and tells him that he is the God of Truth, he has to be dubious.
This Princess of the Cliff Clan has a somewhat cold temperament and is unsmiling. If it weren't for the fact that she eats as fast as they do, she would have thought it was an ice sculpture.
Sean stuffed the last piece of fish into his mouth, stood up and took a long breath and said: "We really don't have that much time to spend with them. Send a message to Chief of Staff Kelman and ask him to start it too. Since they
If he refuses to make a decision, let us help him make a decision. Generals, gather your troops. It won't be long before war is coming."
"Huha!" Everyone present threw away their bowls and chopsticks at the same time and shouted excitedly.
They have been sharpening their swords for thousands of days, just waiting for Sean's words.
The Yongye Army has officially entered a state of war readiness. Countless soldiers and supplies have gathered at the Andis Inland Lake. Its unique geographical location is destined to be the most important war hub for the Yongye Army in the future. Whether it is marching out of the Twin Cities or into Baidu,
The Alliance of London still enters the Swamp of Despair through the Danube River.
However, this has little to do with the people of Yongye Territory. How they live is still how they live, and how they build is still how they build.
This is related to the separation of military and political affairs of the Yongye Army and the professionalization of the army. The existence of the attached engineering corps means that they do not need to lead the people to do corvee service.
In addition, the Yongye military leader itself favors military control, and many of his policies are relatively strict military administration. It will be the same whether it is going to war or not.
Just when Sean gave the order, eagles soared into the sky.
Among them, the information conveyed by one of the mountain eagles has a particularly long distance. It first departs from the Rock and returns to the main eagle nest in Andis Inland Lake, and then takes off from here to the transit eagle nest in the Twin Cities, and then rushes to the destination -
—Another building ship carrying the number.
When Chief of Military Staff Kelman received the news, only one day had passed.
The young military chief of staff perked up and laughed uncontrollably: "We're finally here, Captain Dornier, ready to implement Plan No. 1."
"Yes, Chief of Staff." Dornier, the young captain of the Heritage, responded loudly, "Let's all set sail and aim at the three forks."
Including the Heritage, a fleet of more than fifty ships moved down the river in a mighty manner.
This fleet is rather peculiar, with only one-third of them being assault warships, and the remaining two-thirds being potbellied merchant ships loaded with cargo.
When the Heritage fleet set sail, a clipper separated and headed straight for Carter's military leader. Standing on the bow was the high-spirited young military chief of staff.
After docking, Kelman rode on the mountain horse that had been prepared long ago and rode fast, changing horses without changing people. In only three days, he appeared in Akmeser's handsome tent.
Along the way, except for the difficult mountain road and a minor accident, everything went smoothly.
Not to mention the blind bandits, not even a ferocious beast was encountered. There was no difficulty in entering Akmeser's handsome tent. He walked in naturally, and no one came up to check him along the way.
People turn a blind eye to him, as if he is a transparent person.
Naturally, it was not that Kelman suddenly awakened and became a powerful warlock, nor was it that the leader of the Yongye Army developed some secret weapon that could block their sight.
No, it should be said that a powerful weapon of the Yongye Army has taken effect - money and interests.
For this meeting, the leader of the Yongye Army secretly launched a crazy money offensive, and exchanged benefits as an assist.
Money can make the world go round.
This sentence is applicable in any world.
The Kingsley family led by Carter's army is the richest in the world, but that doesn't mean they are not greedy.
On the contrary, because money is regarded as the glory of the family, the emphasis on money is integrated into the bones from top to bottom. The people in this military leader are far more greedy and have a lower moral bottom line than other people the Yongye military leader comes into contact with.
He is also more daring.
But for the leader of the Yongye Army, this is an out-and-out good thing.
This matter was naturally approved by Akmesser.
Although the supreme commander of the Kingsley family's army is not greedy for money or obsessed with beauty, he cannot easily let go of his power.
As long as you have an agenda, you will be easily targeted.
Akmesser is not the handsome type. His facial features can only be described as straight, his skin is dark, and he is quite tall. He is in the transition stage from young to middle-aged. He is in the golden age of life and has the strength of a young man.
, and has the maturity and stability of a middle-aged person.
It's just that he has some half-gray hair, which makes him look much older, and his brows are always knitted involuntarily. It's obvious that he has been under a lot of pressure recently.
The demeanor is very aristocratic, no matter the words, deeds, clothes, and gray and white hair, they are also taken care of meticulously.
This is a rigorous and old-fashioned person.
This was the first impression the other party left on Kelman.
Akmesser didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point: "Do you have a way to completely eliminate those rebels?"
The rebels he was talking about were the slave rebels led by Dikron.
"That's exactly why I'm here, but I need the general's cooperation." Kelman also has no intention of making friends with him, because it's not necessary. It won't be long before they will have a head-on conflict. Now it's just a purely profit-seeking fight.
Just an exchange.
"How do you need me to cooperate?" Akmeser asked calmly.
"The general's troops move closer to the south and let go of the three-way intersection." Kelman replied quickly, obviously well prepared.
As soon as the other party spoke, Akmeser instantly understood the other party's true intention, and suddenly changed his color and said: "You mean to let me let these rebels escape?"
"The general's task is to eliminate the rebels. There are many ways to eliminate them. Total annihilation is only one of the solutions. There is also a simpler method, which is to expel them. As long as they do not cause chaos in the general's territory, the general is considered complete.
We accomplished the mission, didn't we?" Kelman turned a blind eye to his anger and said calmly.
Finally, he added: "I can guarantee that they will not return to the territory guarded by the general halfway."
Akmeser's eyes flickered and he fell into silence for a long time, obviously weighing the pros and cons.
Kelman did not rush him and waited quietly for the other party's reply, always with a confident smile on his face, as if he was not worried at all that General Akmesser would reject his proposal.
Because of the other party's situation, he couldn't help but refuse.
Dikron, who was secretly supported by the Yongye Army Leader, now completely regarded the Carter Army Leader as his own chessboard, moving around on it, although he did not defeat the regular army led by Akmeser head-on.
However, under heavy siege, not only did the power not become smaller, but it continued to grow and develop, which was the greatest humiliation to Akmesser.
However, the biggest pressure on Akmesse comes from the ruler of the Carthusian Army, Archduke Buck. As the situation in the Swamp of Despair becomes increasingly clear, his patience is getting worse and worse. In his words, he has the idea of changing generals.
Already.
Continuing the stalemate will do no harm to Akmeser personally.
If he deliberately opened a gap and released the rebel army led by Dicron, it would certainly leave a stain on his career as a marshal and cause the dissatisfaction of Archduke Buck.
If it were normal times, he would probably be severely punished, but in the face of the greater temptation of the Swamp of Despair, Archduke Buck would be more likely to turn a blind eye. After all, the ultimate goal has been achieved, right?
As expected, Akmesse nodded and agreed without thinking for a few seconds: "Okay, it's a deal."
"The general is indeed very forthcoming. We have made an agreement. The general will wait for my news. It could be as soon as one week, or as slowly as two weeks. Someone will inform the general of the specific implementation time, and we will say goodbye."
Just like when he arrived, Kelman left as happily as he did. He stayed in Akmeser's handsome tent for no more than ten minutes in total.
After leaving the camp, we rushed back non-stop, but the direction was a little off. We headed straight for the destination of the Heritage, Sanchakou.
