Seeing that the mercenary army's fourth attack was thwarted and they still couldn't even touch the opponent's moat, Akmeser waved his hand helplessly and said: "Mingjin withdraws the troops and stops the attack."
Not only was the attack of the mercenaries frustrated, but also because the first wave of Crocodile tribesman cannon fodder had climbed onto the city wall along the ropes. There were bursts of warm cheers from above, like a triumphal victory, and like welcoming heroes, even though they were a few days away.
Kilometers, it can be heard vaguely.
Akmeser could clearly see from the beginning to the end that there were no more than a thousand Crocodile tribesmen cannon fodder who actually climbed up the city wall along the rope.
There were more than 10,000 cannon fodder of the Crocodile tribe that they had driven away before.
When nothing out of ten happens, what do they have to be excited about?
Akmesse was not the only one who was confused.
Even Sean was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, this situation seemed to be reasonable.
Everyone understands the truth, but that doesn't mean they can completely harden their hearts.
These hundreds of crocodile tribesmen who escaped death represent the good thoughts in their hearts. They cheer for these lucky people and at the same time cheer for the good thoughts that have been preserved in their hearts.
Of course, this is just Sean's personal analysis. Those soldiers had no idea what they were cheering for. They always felt an impulse coming from the heart, a bit passionate.
However, in this way, Akmesser's mind-attacking tactics were a complete failure.
Not only did the Yongye Army Leader and the Crocodile Clan not have any rift, they actually got closer. After all, they had worked together to accomplish this matter.
At this time, Sean couldn't help but glance at his ancestor Nidia not far away, and couldn't help but wonder, was the other party trying to leave a glimmer of hope for the crocodile tribesmen below? Or had he already calculated that the current situation would happen?
, so you made the previous proposal?
If it's the latter, her ability to see into people's hearts is truly terrifying.
Nidia seemed to feel something, and nodded towards Sean, with a heartfelt smile of relief on her face.
Never mind!
Regardless of whether the other party did it intentionally or unintentionally, the result was beneficial to the Yongye Army Leader.
It shows that the other party's heart is towards the leader of the Yongye Army, and there is no need to worry too much about this.
On the contrary, the more powerful the opponent is, the greater the help it will provide to the leader of the Yongye Army.
"Don't move, raise your hands, kneel on the ground."
"How brave you are to commit murder in front of so many people."
Just when the Kingsley family tried to attack for the first time but failed.
There was a slight chaos on the city wall of Brother Port. The place where the chaos occurred was the Crocodile tribesmen who had just been rescued on the city wall.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"The crocodile tribesmen who had just escaped were fighting each other. A small man knocked down a big and thick man with a broken arrow. Needless to say, the ferocious force was directed at the throat, chest, etc.
The fatal blow was inserted seven or eight times in a row, and the strong man was knocked down on the spot."
"So cruel? When they were under the city wall, beating people to death could be understood as just to survive. Now that they are safe, it is a bit unreasonable to kill people. The murderer will most likely be regarded as a model and executed on the spot.
Let those people learn a lesson, this is no longer outside the city, and you can't mess around."
"That Akmeser's methods were cruel enough. He actually turned a group of people into a group of beasts. Look at their behavior under the city. Humanity is so distorted that even if they are rescued, it will be difficult for them to integrate into normal life.
Live."
"Hey, it depends on whose hands they fall into. If we had left them alone before, they might have turned into a big cancer in the future. If we had placed them in the hands of the Military Commission, it would only take less than two years to ensure that their thoughts would be extremely normal.
"
"Don't tell me, it's really possible. Even if you don't tell me, our Military Commission has this ability."
"Are you guys talking bad about me behind my back?"
"Military Commission."
"The Valais Military Commission is joking, how dare we... No, how can we say bad things about you behind your back? You are the person we respect the most, and we are talking about the murderer just now."
"This is not allowed. You are on duty now. The enemy may attack again at any time. Lord Lord is watching nearby. Don't embarrass our third guard. Otherwise, even if I don't skin you, the captain of the guard will easily
I can’t spare you.”
"Don't worry, the Military Commission, this situation will never happen. We will never embarrass the Third Guard, the Chief of Guard, and the Military Commission."
"As long as you know what's going on, it's best to talk less about this kind of thing."
"clear!"
The one who was pushed to the ground by two Evernight soldiers was Bevis, and the one who was stabbed to death was Colon.
God really doesn't open his eyes.
A good man like the lame old man was nailed to the roadside early and suffered to death.
And evil people like Colen have repeatedly escaped from dangerous environments.
This made Beavis feel a heavy sigh of relief in his chest, and he felt uncomfortable no matter how much he thought about it.
This man can be called a model among villains. Not only does he have no moral bottom line, but he is also cunning. Before scaling the city wall, he even used a weapon to disfigure his face.
If there hadn't been a thoughtful person like Beavis, who kept watching him from behind, he might have been able to get through.
Especially with his familiar appearance, he quickly became involved with the crocodile tribesmen on the city wall, further irritating Beavis.
If God doesn't punish his sins, let him do it for him.
Kelen himself never thought that such a person was staring at him behind his back.
Beavis suddenly got angry and naturally got his wish and sent the broken arrow into Column's body.
When he was dying, Colen didn't know why he died, but for a person like him, this kind of death was unexpected, but it was expected.
Maybe God was watching from beginning to end, just with the help of Beavis's hand.
Of course, Bivis was not willing to risk his life for someone like Colon. While he knelt down and surrendered, he said loudly: "This man is a spy, named Colen. He is a spy who betrayed his tribe and joined the enemy. My
Many clan members were killed by him, if you don’t believe me, you can go and investigate.”
"Shut up, you commit murder in public, and you still dare to be verbose. Believe it or not, I will chop you up immediately." A Yongye soldier kicked Beavis hard in the stomach.
Beavis turned into a big shrimp on the spot, his face turned red, but he kept shouting: "I didn't lie, what I said was true, this person is a spy."
"How dare you be so long-winded... Lord?" The Evernight soldier's conversational tone changed 180 degrees.
Naturally, it was Sean and his group who came over. They frowned slightly and said, "What's going on?"
Since anything involving the relationship between the leader of the Yongye Army and the Crocodile Tribe is no small matter, especially something like this that is under the spotlight, the kick that the Yongye soldier just performed was very simple and crude.
Sean did not directly hold the Evernight soldier accountable. He did not maintain his identity and thought that he would lose his worth by doing so.
But Sean is now very self-conscious as a leader. If he shows too many personal likes and dislikes, it is easy for small things to become bigger, and some people below will automatically figure out what he means.
The raised eyebrow he just raised would cause trouble in the eyes of the Eternal Night Soldier's immediate superior, and he would probably not be able to reap any good consequences afterwards.
Sean knew this, but he couldn't intervene without authorization, otherwise it would easily complicate the matter.
As the system becomes larger, there will be more and more such things. He must step up his practice in this area and be as calm as possible.
Before the soldier could reply, Bivis said loudly as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "Sir, there is a reason why I kill people. This man is really a spy. Look at the scars on his face. They were cut by himself."
Yes, this person’s name is Colen. Many people have been bullied by him. You can testify for me. But you can tell me, is it true that your conscience has been eaten by dogs? You don’t even dare to tell the truth.
?The lame old man was betrayed by him. The lame old man obviously had the ability and opportunity to escape. In order to save you, he endured the humiliation and endured the heavy burden. In the end, he was betrayed by this beast and hung on a cross. You dare not avenge the lame old man. I did it.
All I ask is that you touch your conscience and tell the truth."
Beavis never knew that his eloquence could be so good and that he could speak so many words in a row.
Months of slavery, although every moment felt like being in purgatory, did teach Beavis many things.
Such as patience, such as observing words and expressions.
From a distance, he could tell that Sean was different.
Wherever the opponent passed, the soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but raise their chests and abdomen, and their eyes followed him all the way, with excitement and fanaticism that could not be concealed.
Beavis didn't know why they looked at a young man who looked not much older than him with such eyes, but he knew that this was a great opportunity for his life.
"Oh?" Sean couldn't help but look at the young crocodile tribesman.
Like the other rescued crocodile tribesmen, his face was sallow and malnourished, but compared to the numb expressions of most people, his eyes were still somewhat alert.
Also, it is definitely not an ordinary person who can violently kill people surrounded by many soldiers.
Especially when the person killed was a man of great ability and a certain degree of military training.
"I can prove that there is indeed a beast named Colen who took refuge with those gangsters and oppressed us. His appearance is indeed 70% similar to him, but I can't tell whether he is this person or not."
"I can prove it too."
"I can do that too."
I don't know whether Beavis' words moved them, or whether there were really people like the lame old man or similar to them who had helped them, and thus moved them. After a period of dead silence, some people started to speak one after another.
It's just that Colen is also a ruthless person, and he completely disfigured his face. Those who have not had much contact with him dare not say whether it is him or not.
"Detain him alone first and send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly." Sean did not draw a conclusion directly, but set the tone for the matter. When the time comes, someone will naturally investigate the matter thoroughly.
Sean believed him somewhat, after all, the scars on Colum's face were the biggest suspicion.
Even on the battlefield, injuries like this all concentrated on the face are not common, especially if each one is not fatal, it is even rarer.
If there is nothing wrong in your heart, why should you cover up your face?
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." Beavis breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing that his life was temporarily saved.
"Don't worry. If what you stated is true, you are not guilty, but have merit. We will not let a bad person go, and we will not wrongly accuse a good person." Sean was not so much talking to Beavis, but rushing to him.
Talking to the group of rescued crocodile tribesmen.
"Thank you, sir." The only thing Beavis could do was to keep thanking him.
"Detain him." Sean waved his hand to the Yongye soldiers who were escorting him.
Before leaving, Beavis looked at Sean deeply, as if he wanted to remember him in his heart.
After watching him leave, Sean turned to Nitya and said: "Ancestor, these people are a mixed bag of good and bad and are not suitable to be placed here. Should we transport them directly to the leader of the Yongye Army for resettlement? Help them return to normal as soon as possible.
life?”
"You are the supreme commander, so naturally I have to listen to you." Nitya sighed and said, "Their behavior below the city was a little bad, but to a large extent it was limited by the general environment, and their intentions are not necessarily bad.
Yes, if you can save one, just save one."
"Don't worry, we have professionals in this area and they will do their best to help them." Sean replied confidently.
"I don't worry about you, just do as you say." Nidia did not get entangled in this matter.
After all, she also knew that the composition of these people was too complicated, and it would be difficult to filter them out for a while. Who knew if there were ghost slaves or rebels planted by the Kingsley family among them.
Regardless of whether they are truly expelled Crocodile tribesmen or people with ulterior motives, once they are sent to the Eternal Night Army, they will be able to play very little role. This is the most stable opinion.
In this exploratory attack, the Yongye army leader and the Crocodile tribesmen rescued more than 800 expelled Crocodile tribesmen cannon fodder.
After a short rest, they were directly loaded onto a ship and transported to the Yongye Army Leader for resettlement to avoid future troubles.
This time the test resulted in few casualties, but many problems were exposed on both sides.
The first is the command issue between the Yongye Army Leader and the Crocodile Tribe. The two have their own command systems. Although they have already reached an agreement, the entire defense is dominated by the Yongye Army Leader, assisted by the Crocodile Tribe people, and the Yongye Army Leader’s defense coach.
, possesses the highest command authority.
When it came time to actually implement it, there were many difficulties. After all, the military law standards implemented by the two sides were different, and the elders of the Crocodile Clan could not execute orders and prohibitions like the middle and low-level officers of the Yongye Army.
Like before, the elders of the Crocodile tribe refused to carry out the orders of the defense commander and made accusations. Although the matter was perfectly resolved through the mediation of Nidia's wise elders.
But that only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.
The root of the problem still exists, and similar problems will still appear again and again.
Nitya and the others can't always arrive in time, right?
It would be nice to say that the war was not tense, but when the war was tense, by the time they arrived, the day lilies were already cold.
What's more, Nidia and the others are first and foremost the chief elders of the Crocodile tribe. No matter how impartial they are, if a real problem arises, most of them will still side with the Crocodile tribe.
Not only was the leader of the Yongye Army aware of this problem, but according to Akmeser's shrewdness, he could guess a thing or two just from the coverage of the two waves of arrows, and he might take action next time.
War itself is a complex science.
It's not just a matter of two armies facing off to see who has the strongest soldiers and horses.
As the saying goes, the right time, right place and right people will all affect the final outcome of the war.
Mental attack is definitely the best strategy among all military strategies.
Sure enough, within a few days, rumors were flying all over Hong Kong.
What can I say? The Eternal Night Army leader has ulterior motives. Even if the Kingsley family is driven out of the Swamp of Despair, the Despair Swamp will no longer belong solely to the Crocodile tribe. The Crocodile tribe will become vassals of the Eternal Night Army leader.
The Crocodile Tribe people just used the Yongye Army to wait until the battle was over, when both sides drew their swords and faced each other.
Brother Port is an isolated city and cannot be defended for a long time. Once the city is defeated, the Yongye army can retreat into the mountains of Andis, but the Crocodile tribe has nowhere to retreat, so they must make plans in advance.
Anyway, it was for the sake of the relationship between Yongye Army Leader and the Crocodile Tribe people, and he tried his best to provoke them.
However, the methods used to seduce people's hearts are quite low-level and are left over from the Yong Ye Army Leader's play. Not to mention compared to the Military Commissions (the professional title of deputy positions) of the Yong Ye Army Leader, even compared to those businessmen, they are still inferior.
Not as good as.
When verbal temptations and practical benefits intersect with each other, that is the true advanced state.
The leader of the Yongye Army once deceived the Crocodile Tribe Council of Elders in this regard, so how could he not be on guard against this move?
Targeted propaganda is usually done at all times. If Akmesser wants to destroy the relationship between the Yongye Army Leader and the Crocodile Tribe people just by relying on this, it is a miscalculation.
There are indeed quite a few problems between the Yongye Army Leader and the Crocodile Tribe people, but they are by no means to the point where they will break with just one poke.
Those insects that infiltrated Brother Port, no matter how secretive their whereabouts were, could not escape the eyes of the eagle. They were quickly caught, and their bodies were hung on the city wall to dry and displayed to the public.
However, it is not easy to completely eliminate this problem. This involves the core and most focused issue-military power.
If we don't complete the unification of military power and want to enforce orders and prohibitions as if they were one body, that is wishful thinking.
However, the Crocodile Clan Council of Elders has been reluctant to hand over military power.
Because in their eyes, military power is their confidence and guarantee. If they lose military power, how can they negotiate terms with the Yongye Army?
Wouldn't it mean that he would really become a vassal of the Yong Ye military leader?
To deal with them, the Yongye Army has countless tricks to think of, such as wooing, dividing, exchanging interests, etc. The multi-person parliamentary system of the Crocodile Tribe Elders Council is their biggest flaw.
There are many people and mixed minds.
There are really very few Crocodile Clan elders who are selfless and wholeheartedly consider the interests of the entire Crocodile Clan. They are just like the nobles of the Byron Alliance. Most of them always look out for themselves and their own tribe's interests before considering Crocodile Clan.
the overall interests of the tribe.
This was an opportunity for the leader of the Yongye Army to take advantage of. This was how the elder of the Crocodile Tribe came to turn to them.
But the problem is that these methods require a long time to operate and cannot be achieved overnight.
What they lack now is time. Akmesse cannot spend several years besieging the city.
There is no need to fight at all, that long transportation and supply line will bring down the Kingsley family.
Just as Kelman's main chief of staff analyzed, the decisive battle will inevitably take place this winter, when the weather is freezing and the moat is frozen.
