As the name suggests, it is the intersection of three roads.
But this time it's not a road, but a river.
The river is naturally the Jacob River, and the river is the Bolton River that is led from the Manyu Army and flows into the Jacob River.
The flow of the Bolton River is not large. It is in the dry season for three to four months a year, and at that time it becomes the Jacob's River.
Not to mention a big ship like the Heritage, even a charging speedboat is not suitable here. If you are not careful, you can easily run aground. However, when the current is at its strongest, there is still no problem if you use a raft to go down the river.
It was summer at this time, when the Carter Army received the most rain, and naturally it was also the time when the flow of the Bolton River was the largest.
After Kelman crossed over, he took this road. One person and one raft went down the river, which was three minutes faster than riding a galloping horse on the grassland. It took only one day to get out of the mountain and start again.
Boarded the Heritage waiting here.
"Chief of Staff, is this trip going well?" Captain Donik asked.
"It's going well, but Akmesser is an old fox, so he can't believe everything. Whether the plan can succeed or not depends on General Dikron." A coldness flashed in Kelman's eyes, "I hope he keeps his word.
, otherwise it’s really hard to tell who is plotting against whom.”
No wonder he was vaguely dissatisfied. According to the original plan, he would change his route and go directly into the mountain to meet up with Dikron. However, not long after he came out of Akmesser's handsome tent, he found that he was followed by a bunch of tails.
You can adopt the second plan, go down the river, return to the Heritage first, communicate through the mountain eagle, and conduct remote control.
The deal between Kelman and Akmesser seemed very happy, but in fact it was full of intrigues.
Akmesser had obviously wanted to find Dickron's hiding place through Kelman, and his intention was self-evident.
As long as the snake head of Dikron can be chopped off, the remaining slave rebel army will not be a concern.
It can be seen from this that Akmesser had his own little calculation from beginning to end. He believed in himself more than he believed in the leader of the Eternal Night Army.
It's hard to say whether the other side will open the gap as planned, or take this opportunity to lay a trap and annihilate the remnants of the slave rebel army. I hope it won't be the latter.
Out of caution, Kelman still sent a letter to Dikron with all the details and asked him to handle it as appropriate.
For a moment, the mountain eagles from the Andis Mountains shuttled back and forth over the Carter Army. Looking down from the air, countless figures emerged from the originally uninhabited mountains and old forests, dragging their families with them.
, extremely lively.
Among these people, there are only a small number of remnants of the slave rebel army who came from the Manyu military leader, and more of them are the natives of the Carthusian military leader itself.
The composition of these people is very mixed, including fugitives from mining slaves, robbers, bandits, and savages who are not on the list from beginning to end.
The Carthusian Army and the Andis Mountains are also dominated by mountains, but there are still huge differences between the two.
The Andes Mountains are mainly large mountains. Although they are criss-crossed, they often stretch for hundreds of kilometers. The mountains are high and the ravines are deep. The terrain is relatively simple and not that complicated, especially the Sansette Peak, which is known as the world's highest roof.
The mountains stretch down in three directions.
Going northeast to the Kentana Icefield, the Kogel Grassland was created by the melting snow of this section of the mountains. The northern fortress led by the Yongye Army was built on the largest gap here.
Going southeast, the Manyu Army is leaning against it, the Carthus Army is bordering it, and the Swamp of Despair is also in its shadow. The two great rivers Jacob and Danube originating from the Andis Mountains are both in this section.
above, divided it into four, and now it has become the main artery for the Yongye Army to lead outwards.
The last section rushes due west. Compared with the other two sections, its ups and downs are not as great, but its length is longer than the other two combined. It also has a more famous name, the Cutoff Mountains.
It is precisely because of it that it cut most of Asharn in two, allowing the Byron Alliance to defend. Otherwise, the current core area of the Byron Alliance, the Asia Minor Plains, would become a horse herding land for the Odin Orcs.
The situation for Carter's military leader is different. There is a small hill to the east and a small hill to the west. When you turn around, you will see that there are endless small mountains behind. If you turn around again, it may turn into a small lake.
In addition, the production of mineral resources is not a matter of a day or two. It can be traced back to the era of the Elf Empire. After thousands of years of mining, many mountains have been hollowed out, which are really crisscrossed with ravines.
Natural and man-made factors are intertwined, making the geographical environment here the most complex in Ashan. The Kingsley family, which has been operating here for more than three hundred years, does not dare to pat its chest and say that it has completely mastered it.
here.
Their military strength is only enough for them to control those large mines, some corners and dark corners, which is powerless.
As for the Kingsley family's harsh ruling policies, many people are destined to try to break away from it.
The remnants of the slave rebel army have been completely integrated with the local forces in recent years. Dikron's temperament and ability won their respect. When he told them that he would lead them to leave this hell on earth and rush to a better life.
At that time, there were a lot of responders.
In this era, the dividing line between good people and bad people is very blurred. In many villages and towns, they are peaceful citizens during the day, but at night they may become robbers who rob homes and homes.
In addition to the imperfect laws and weak legal awareness, they are also forced by life. Sometimes they can only survive by using this method, and it is difficult to judge them from a normal moral point of view.
After receiving Kelman's mountain eagle message, Dikron just glanced at it and threw it into the bonfire. Orders were sent out step by step through the mountain eagle message.
Nearly ten years of military service have allowed him to develop a character that no longer relies on others, especially his enemies.
Compared to the other party's solemn promises, he believed more in the swords in his hands and his brothers, and used his own hands to fight for everything he needed.
This taciturn commander preferred to use practical actions instead of words.
Ever since he secretly met with Kelman, the envoy of the Eternal Night Army Leader, the lights in Commander Akmeser's tent had been on all night long for several days in a row. He even sat in front of the military map for several hours.
In some respects, there are many similarities between Akmesser and Dixon, two opponents who have never met before. They prefer to control everything in their own hands rather than make promises.
Opening up the gap and allowing the remnants of the slave rebel army to leave the Carter Army is certainly a way to solve the problem.
If we can take the opportunity to uproot the remnants of the slave rebel army and eliminate the rebels in the territory, then we can truly eliminate future troubles forever.
As for the promise to the leader of the Yongye Army?
From beginning to end, he never promised anything.
The problem now is, how to make the other party believe that it has opened the encirclement?
Those little things flying in the sky are really a headache, and my own army can't hide in front of them.
The Carter Army Leader is not the Andes Mountains, and the remnants of the Slave Rebel Army are not the soldiers and civilians of the Evernight Army Leader.
There is a mixture of good and bad here, and dramas of betrayal and being betrayed are often performed. There is basically no information that can be kept absolutely confidential. Even Di Kelong was almost killed several times because of betrayal by a traitor.
The fact that the Yongye Army Leader supported a group of mountain eagles from the remnants of the slave rebel army was revealed within a month.
But even if he knew it, Akmesser was helpless.
These specially trained aerial elves are so high up and down that even champion knight-level archers can't do anything to them.
Training similar aerial raptors to hunt and kill them may be one way, but it won't happen overnight, and there is no suitable choice.
After all, the Andis Mountain Eagle itself is a predator, and it is neither big nor small. If it is domesticated with large raptors, it will be difficult to match their speed. If it is too small, its speed will increase, and it may become food in their mouths.
No matter what Akmesser had planned, the Kingsley family's army began to focus on gathering to the east, consciously or unconsciously weakening the defensive force in the direction of Sanchakou to a certain extent.
Without this premise, the remnants of the slave rebel army led by Dikron would not have emerged from the deep mountains and forests, and no matter how many calculations Akmesser had, it would be in vain.
There are rafts one after another, and rafts go down the Bolton River.
To say they are wooden rafts is a compliment. Many of them are cut down trees. The better ones have pruning forks, tied with ropes, and animal skins paved. Most of them are just several tree trunks pieced together.
Yaya's crosses were all there, so I hugged them and went down the river.
Fortunately, it is summer now, and it is not too cold even if you soak in the water at night. Otherwise, we don’t know how many people died on the way.
Even so, as the number of people going down the river increases, more and more people will always fall halfway.
This is the normal scene of long-distance travel in this world. It is abnormal for a large-scale personnel diversion like that of the Yongye Army leader to have only a handful of deaths.
There is no way for the troops led by the Carter Army and the Yongye Army to get involved, but as long as they successfully reach Sanchakou, they can do what they can. In fact, there is no need for more. A warm meal, a
A thin blanket and a bowl of hot medicinal porridge can basically get them through.
Sometimes, people's ability to survive is more tenacious than cockroaches.
For this job, Yongye Army Leader always seems to be very familiar with it.
"Get on the boat, all line up to get on the boat. Take it as a family. Try not to bring useless things. When you get to the end of the country, you will be given the most basic living necessities to ensure that you have a full meal every day and a hot bed to sleep on.
, we have already said that we are not allowed to bring large luggage. Why are you bringing such a pile of old animal skins? Throw them away, throw them all away."
"Master Jun, where are we going?"
"You don't even know where you are going, how did you get here?"
"We saw everyone running out and thought there was a disaster, so we came down together."
"You are really confused, but now that you are here, it is a good thing. With the way you are dressed, you will definitely not have a good life here. I will send you to paradise later."
"What is paradise?"
“I don’t understand Paradise, but I’ve always heard of Paradise on Earth.”
"Is it to go to the Holy Land, Saint Ann's Land?"
"I don't know what Saint's Land is like, but I know where we are sending you. When you go there, you won't be able to drive them away. So hurry up. Akmesser's army will come over at any time. You can't leave even if you want to.
Can’t leave anymore.”
"After the executioner hears the news, he will definitely not let us go. Just throw away these external things. As long as people live, they can be created in a short time."
By the time the refugees-like rioters fled to Sanchakou, Yong Ye's military leader had already built a simple port here. The Successor had no way to dock, but there was no problem with the assault warships and merchant ships.
After these refugees had a short rest, they were stuffed into the merchant ships, one after another, without stopping at all.
As for whether there are any with ulterior motives among these refugees, the Yongye military leader doesn't care at all. Once they get on the boat and reach the ground, they will have no choice but to do so.
The unique geographical environment of Andis Mountain is destined that no matter how good and capable the intelligence personnel are, when they get here, they will be like rats falling into the oil tank. No matter how many benefits they get, they will not be able to climb out.
This was just the beginning, and soon the Bolton River was overcrowded. Whether they got the news in advance because they were related to the remnants of the slave rebel army, or those who got the news accidentally, they all started to flow out.
Many people, not to mention the leader of the Yongye Army, didn't even know who Di Kelong was, so they followed him down in a daze, and boarded the ship in a daze.
People have a herd mentality, and most people have made this choice. The chance of making the wrong choice is certainly small.
Of course, this is directly related to their poor situation. Only a fool would run out if they could eat and drink enough.
"The general has an order. All these rioters and thugs will be killed without mercy. Kill! Kill the enemy three levels, and you will be rewarded with one gold. If you kill the enemy ten levels, you will be promoted to one level."
"kill!"
"Kill! Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Countless Kingsley family soldiers, like ghosts, appeared out of thin air, carrying kill orders and heading towards the Bolton River.
The remnants of the slave rebel army who were migrating were unprepared. In just half a day, they were killed and their blood flowed into the river. The entire Bolton River was dyed red and the river channel was blocked.
Akmeiser finally chose to take action.
To be more precise, he was not prepared to let go of the remnants of the slave rebel army from the beginning.
His ability to conceal the truth is not very clever, to put it bluntly.
On the surface, he was making it look like his main force was moving eastward, but secretly he was recruiting the best among them, and one after another they hid in the surrounding abandoned mine tunnels, hiding day and night.
The reconnaissance mountain eagles led by the Yongye Army also found it difficult to find their traces.
When the remnants of the slave rebel army were paralyzed and began to migrate on a large scale, they took the opportunity to break out.
The remnants of the slave rebel army made Akmesser miserable, purely because of their guerrilla tactics.
In a head-on decisive battle, the Kingsley family army has never been afraid of them.
Just as Akmesser's ambush was launched, the elite remnants of the slave rebel army led by Dikron also gathered together one after another and stormed into Akmesser's lair with great momentum.
Just like Akmesser had no good intentions at the beginning, Dickron guarded him from the beginning to the end.
It was not that there were no remnants of the slave rebel army who entered the Migration on the other side of the Bolton River, but most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, so he gathered all the real combatable soldiers.
Moreover, most of the remnants of the slave rebel army were in the first wave.
This wave looks dangerous, but is actually the safest.
In order to paralyze them, Akmesse lured them all out and caught them all at once, so he had to give them a taste of sweetness.
If you want to catch big fish, you must bait heavily.
