"Yale, sit down." Chief Locke said coldly. Although his tone remained calm, his eyes revealed his true thoughts, which were not as calm as he appeared.
Legally speaking, there is no problem for Yongye Army Leader to do this.
But from a human perspective, what they did was obviously unkind.
Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is not considered. The real purpose of doing this is to force the Duanya clan to submit and follow their lead.
In fact, Father Locke knew in his heart that if the Kentana barbarian invasion situation did not change, this possibility would happen at any time.
I just didn't expect Sean to be so decisive this time and forcefully force him into the palace without giving him any room to maneuver.
Renxiong Yale made a muffled sound, and stood there straight without saying a word, as if he just refused to bow his head and submit.
"Yale, sit down." Father Locke slammed the table and stood up.
Not only did a crack appear on the solid oak table, which was tens of centimeters thick and weighed dozens of tons, the teacup on the table started dancing happily.
Fortunately, there was no one who could sit in this conference room, and his reaction speed was very fast, and he immediately protected his tea cup.
As for the fact that Patriarch Locke is so angry, is it directed at the man Xiong Yale? Or is he just using the subject as an excuse? It is not known. Anyway, the people present all regard it as the former. They look at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses. They are calm and not warm.
Not popular.
Including the senior members of the Crocodile tribe who were filled with emotions, they felt the same feelings as Chief Locke and General Yale because they had experienced it themselves not long ago.
In addition to helplessness and sadness, it is difficult to describe the mixed feelings in words.
In addition, they also had a sense of excitement and joy.
Because they are now also members of the Yongye Army. Now that they are on this ship, they naturally hope that this ship will become bigger and stronger, and they will be safer on it. It is uncomfortable to be annexed, but annexation
For others, it is a joy to hear and see.
Fortunately, they made their own choice and did not wait until the Yongye Army led the army to force the palace, otherwise they would have faced the current situation.
Seeing that Chief Locke was getting angry, Renxiong Yale reluctantly sat down. He also knew that his childish and angry behavior would not solve anything.
He had spent some time in the Yongye Army as a prisoner of war and a mercenary, so he knew how much power Sean had in the Yongye Army. If several other main chiefs of staff or generals spoke up, they might still have
The possibility of change, once Sean speaks out, the matter is basically a certainty.
In name, all the generals unite and have the power to veto Sean's decision. In fact, this situation has never happened, let alone expect them to stand up for the Cliff Clan. These militants have long been eager to annex the Cliff Clan.
After Ren Xiong Yale sat down, Chief Locke also sat down slowly, looked at Sean and said: "Now that this matter has been revealed, Lord, please don't hide it. You know that I left you to help.
We can't even hold it for half a year, what are you going to do with us? Or are you going to watch us be swallowed up and enslaved?"
"The patriarch is serious. Let's not mention that our personal relationship is pretty good. Even for the sake of Nicola and her children, we can't do such cruel things." Sean said straight to the point, "The gate of the Yongye Army.
, it will always be open for the Duanya clan, as long as the clan leader is willing to nod, you can immediately retreat to the back of the ruins fortress group."
This time, not only Man Xiong Yale was furious, but even Chief Locke couldn't help but frowned and said, "Lord, are you planning to completely abandon the defense of Dongluan?"
This situation is definitely the worst one.
The two sides have been dealing with each other for more than a day or two. Just like the Crocodile Tribe Elders Council back then, what makes Chief Locke wary of the Yongye Army Leader the most is their ability to assimilate and brainwash.
After the mountain Kentana barbarians who were captured by the Yongye Army Leader were exchanged and released back, very few of them held grudges against the Yongye Army Leader. On the contrary, many of them never forgot the life here.
For a group of foodies, the happiest thing is to fill their stomachs. Those who can do more than this can fill their stomachs with countless delicacies.
The Yongye Army Leader, who has plenty of food and is rich in delicacies, is naturally like a paradise to them.
Compared to the Byrons, the Andis are a small race.
But compared to the Andis, the mountain Kentana barbarians are a minor race among minor races.
Thousands of people from one hundred thousand tribes were thrown into their territory, and they couldn't even knock them out, but they would eat them up and wipe them clean.
If they continue to stay in the east of the Andes Mountains, they still have the possibility to maintain their racial independence.
Once everyone withdraws into the Evernight Army, this possibility is just a luxury.
"There is no danger to defend in the Eastern Mountains, and there are no special outputs. There is nothing worth cherishing. It is not a pity to give up." Sean nodded and said, "The ancient Andis Empire's ruins and fortresses were originally man-made by the Ancient Andis.
The last line of defense prepared by the Kentana barbarians, both in terms of terrain and castles, were specially selected and built. During the repair process, we not only further improved the city defense facilities, but also added a large number of defense equipment. By then, only
We need to mobilize one-third of your current troops to defend this place impregnably.
And you have previously analyzed the reasons for the Kentana barbarian invasion. They had to go south in order to win their own living space. The area of the Eastern Mountains is large or small, which is enough for them to digest for a year or two.
It is enough for us to clear away other unrest factors in the territory and mobilize all mobile forces. It is up to us to decide whether to defend or attack.
Maybe by that time, the climate over the Kentana Icefield will return to normal, and we can take back Dongluan without any effort. Why not?
A sage once said it well, everyone loses their land if they save their land, and everyone loses their land if they save their land.”
"Everyone loses his land if he saves his land, and everyone loses his land if he saves his land. This is a good saying, but I don't know which sage said it. Why have I never heard of this sentence?" Ban Hebrew Chief of Staff
Very much agreed.
"It doesn't matter which sage said it, the important thing is that it makes sense." Sean complained in his heart. It was troublesome to deal with people who read a lot, especially those who are serious and read a lot.
Ask about the origin.
The advantage of this strategy is that it is completely considered from the perspective of the Yongye military leader. It would be a bit uncomfortable to stand on the side of the Cliff clan.
It is true that people and land will survive, but at that time, people are no longer members of the Duanya clan, and the land is no longer the land of the Duanya clan. Everything has become the domain of the Yongye Army.
At that time, did they still hope that the leader of the Yongye Army would kindly let them become independent?
But do they have any choice?
After a brief ideological struggle, Chief Locke spoke with difficulty: "If our entire clan withdraws to the Yongye Army, what will the Lord do to us?"
"Clan leader..."
"Shut up. From now on, you either shut up or get out." Chief Locke roared uncontrollably.
The human bear Yale snorted, said nothing more, and did not get up to leave. The roar of Chief Locke just now made him understand that at this moment, the most uncomfortable person in his heart should be his father Locke, who has always done anything for the continuation of the clan.
For the sake of the clan, he chose to marry the leader of the Yongye Army and marry off his most beloved daughter. Unexpectedly, in the end, everything was still in vain and he had to face the situation of the clan being annexed and dismantled.
My own doubts can't solve anything, they just keep adding salt to his wounds.
Rather than letting him bear it alone, it is better for two people to bear it together.
"Sorry, I lost my temper." The Rock tribe took a long breath and turned to Sean, "Lord, let's continue."
Sean didn't say any words of comfort because doing so would only make him look very hypocritical. It would be better to cut the knot quickly and get it over with as soon as possible. When they accept the reality, these negative emotions will become a thing of the past.
Sean waited until his mood calmed down slightly and replied: "Our initial plan is that after the Cliff Clan withdraws into the territory of the Yongye Army, it can still maintain one to three full legions. If there are enough manpower, it can even
The third group army that formed the Yongye Army was still led by two commanders.
The other tribesmen will be dispersed and resettled. At that time, they will have two choices, one is to mix with other territorial residents, and the other is to choose to build a new residential area in the mountains and still maintain the original half-cultivated and half-farmed areas.
The hunting life and the hunting range are larger than those in Dongluan.
One thing you can rest assured is that no matter which one you choose, we will make a proper resettlement plan. These two people can participate in the whole process. If there is any unfairness in it, you can come to me directly to discuss it. Our philosophy will never change. Since we always
The citizens of the Yongye Army will be treated equally regardless of origin, skin color, language, or race. I wonder what the clan leader wants?"
"Do we have any choice?" Chief Locke asked.
Sean was silent for a few seconds, shook his head and said, "No!"
"That's it!" Chief Locke replied angrily.
Sean stood up without any anger and said solemnly to Chief Locke: "Believe me, Chief Locke, you will never regret the decision you made today. I once promised the Crocodile Clan that no matter what race, as long as
They are our territorial citizens, and we will treat them equally, but the names and customs of each race will still be retained, and we respect them. We are just uniting together in a closer way to resist powerful enemies and create a better home. This is what I
Also promised to Chief Locke.
My dream has never changed. I will say it again today to encourage everyone. I dream that all the people under my rule will have support when they are old and have little to rely on.
There is medicine to heal, and there is food to satisfy your hunger.
It was like this in the past, it is like this today, and it will be like this in the future. I will strive for this goal all my life, but it is impossible for me to achieve this grand goal by myself. I wonder if I am lucky enough to invite everyone here to join me for this goal.
Work together?"
"I'm joining!"
"I'm joining!"
"I'm joining!"
As soon as Sean finished speaking, a series of responses sounded, each one more passionate than the last.
Such grand goals and dreams made the young officers led by the Yongye Army feel so excited that they were about to burn.
Even the four great elders of the Crocodile tribe, who had not heard Sean's speech for the first time, were still moved and infected, causing them to defect to the young reformists at the critical moment and deal a fatal blow to the Council of Elders of the Crocodile tribe. This dream was in their hands.
It played a big role in making the decision. They really want to see what this dream will look like when it comes true.
Not to mention those who are loyal fans of Sean. This is the first time for them to hear Sean talk about his plans and ideas for the future.
Sean himself is a person who advocates doing more than talking. He always likes to hide many thoughts deep in his heart and is easily unwilling to share them with others.
As an ordinary person, this is a virtue, but as a lord, as a ruler, it is a good thing.
Because this makes those who follow him find no goal to strive for.
Speech is an essential skill for a qualified ruler, and Sean is still learning.
But it is always boring at ordinary times, but there is also an advantage, that is, if you do it violently, it sounds very exciting and has a very motivating effect.
Even Ben Hebrew, who has always been relatively deep-tempered, his breathing has obviously become much faster, which shows that his heart is not peaceful. At a certain point, he is very similar to Father Locke, and he is an out-and-out lover of the tribe.
, for the sake of the overall interests of the race, even at the expense of personal interests.
But compared to Sean's dream, his seems too petty.
The people who led the Yongye Army stood up and expressed their opinions one after another. Everyone's eyes were focused on Chief Locke and General Yale of the Cliff Clan.
After taking a long breath, Chief Locke slowly stood up and said, "I'll join."
Hesitation, pain, despair...all kinds of complex emotions flashed across General Yale's face, and he finally stood up and said in a solemn voice: "I will join too."
"Welcome, Chief Locke, General Yale. With your joining, the power of the Yongye Army will reach a higher level." Sean took the initiative to step forward and gave them each a bear hug. As for their
The confusion on his face was simply ignored.
I have forced their entire clan to sell out, and yet I still don’t allow them to suffer and suffer?
This kind of pain will be healed little by little as time goes by. When they join the Eternal Night Army, they will find that the outside world is bigger than they imagined, and there are even more vast lands waiting for them to conquer.
, there are greater goals to achieve, and a better life waiting for them, and then they will have no time to suffer and struggle.
The leader of Yongye Army is already familiar with this.
If you look at the senior leaders of the Yongye Army, you will know that the proportion of people who actually started their careers following Sean is getting smaller and smaller, and most of them are their former rivals and enemies.
First of all, General Ericson. Compared with the entire Jacobean river, the Bastille is just a small castle on it.
Next came Chief of Staff Ben Hebrew, Chief of Staff Brian, and General Tagore. Compared with the entire Andis Mountains and the Swamp of Despair, the interests they fought for before seemed a bit out of the question. Who still remembers it now?
Walled City Alliance, who still remembers Sandong City, who still remembers Sishui Village.
The four great elders and the young generals of the Despair Swamp, plus the two leaders of the Cliff Clan, will inevitably have similar feelings when they follow the Eternal Night Army to lead this chariot toward a more ambitious goal.
They are neither the first nor the last, Sean firmly believes this.
"The full retreat of the Cliff Clan is not something that can be done in one fell swoop. When it is implemented, we will hold a special meeting to discuss it. We will not continue the discussion here today." After sitting down again, Sean opened his mouth and said, giving it to Locke.
The buffer time accepted by the patriarch and General Yale also gave themselves time to prepare.
The population of the Duanya Clan is not comparable to that of the Crocodile Clan. Retreating is relatively simple, but the difficulty is resettlement.
Compared with the crocodile people, the mountain Kentana barbarians are more different from the Andis people. There are big differences in body shape, appearance, racial customs, and even temperament. The fusion of them will become the Eternal Night Army.
Take on a new challenge.
If even this race can be transformed and integrated, the leader of the Yongye Army will definitely reach the master level in this aspect, and will be fearless in the future.
Furthermore, this race is a race of big eaters. Each of them can eat as much as four or five people. If you want to feed them, you must make reasonable arrangements for them.
After no longer talking about the Duanya clan, the atmosphere of the military meeting relaxed a lot.
Brian, the main chief of staff, raised a new topic: "Lord, the overall layout of our Evernight Army has been laid out. Isn't it time to discuss the issue of the territorial capital?"
