While the Yongye Army was leading the sweep, Sean also controlled the Thundering Golden Eagle to carefully search the surrounding area, trying to find Christina's accomplices.
Unfortunately, there was no additional discovery. It seemed that she was the only one from beginning to end.
Due to Christina's unexpected factor, the elite mixed army led by Sean did not cause any problems. After completing the original plan, they rushed back to the ruins forts as soon as possible.
It wasn't until he stepped into New Malden Fortress that Sean breathed a long sigh of relief, finally taking advantage of this harvest.
In the end, what really put pressure on them was not the few small gathering points, but the Kentana barbarians who had been captured by them. These people were all in an anesthetized state, and the people who occupied the Yongye Army Leader were carrying them.
One must also be constantly vigilant as they recover from anesthesia.
After all, anesthetics have strong side effects and cannot be used continuously in large doses. Otherwise, even if they are captured, they will be disabled.
In the end, they still relied on ropes and small doses of anesthetics to control them. Holding so many strong prisoners, the pressure was not great, and the anesthetics were like running water. They were used in barrels. Even for the Yongye Army leader, this was a kind of
No small burden.
When they arrived at New Malden Fortress, the elite mixed army's harvest from this hunt was also counted.
Excluding the special prisoner Christina, there are as many as four Kentana Barbarian Champion Knights alone, three of whom are sea hunters, and only one is a Kentana Barbarian from a safari.
Among the Kentana barbarians they captured this time, the number of sea hunters was obviously greater than that of safari hunters, reaching a ratio of five to one.
After knowing the conditions on the Kentana Icefield, it is quite normal for such a ratio to appear.
Sea hunting is more severely affected than safari hunting, so the speed of southward travel is naturally faster for those severely affected.
The proportion of great knights is still frighteningly high, with a total of 232, more than one tenth.
As the Lord's Guards gathered half of the elite members of the entire territory of the Eternal Night Army, the ratio of the Grand Knights was barely fifteen to one.
This is the result of this period of time, with the help of the mage tower in the Northern Fortress, a group of new knights emerged, otherwise this proportion would only be even greater.
This is just their small and medium-sized tribe. On the tundra grassland, the sight of dozens of champion knights leading thousands of great knights to charge in the war between the two large tribes on the tundra no longer seems to be a legend.
The Kentana barbarians are physically the best in the world, and they are truly worthy of their reputation. In front of them, the mountain Kentana barbarians have not dropped one gear, but two or three gears.
If you think about it carefully, it is not surprising that such a situation occurs.
There is a shortcut to great knights and champion knights, and everyone knows it.
That is to sharpen your will and let your body break through the limits through extremely difficult environments.
The Kentana Barbarians have been challenging the extreme environment from the moment they landed.
This challenge will last throughout their lives, not only fighting against the harsh natural environment, but also against their own people. If they relax even a little, they will die.
In other words, every Kentana barbarian who can live to adulthood is himself an elite of their race.
This can be seen from the prisoners. Among the limited women and children, they are all strong and healthy people, and the number of elderly people is pitiful.
Their high ratio comes with a heavy price.
Compared with them, the living standard of the Kentana barbarians who retreated to the mountains east of Andis was ten times better.
Without the hard work of life, even if they have excellent genes and foundation, it will be in vain.
Rather than saying that the Kentana barbarians are strong, it is better to say that the Kentana barbarians living on the Kentana Icefield are strong. If they are thrown into the rich and stable plains of Asia Minor or the Huayu Plateau, it will not take them more than a few generations.
To collectively decline significantly, it is not even as good as the Kentana savages in the mountains.
This is why Sean did not blindly integrate the Kentana savages in the mountains and let them maintain a relatively independent half-hunting and half-farming life.
Their bravery comes largely from their lifestyle. When they become as docile as ordinary people, even if they have strong bodies, they are essentially sheep, not shepherd dogs fighting wolves.
This is more vividly demonstrated by the Kentana barbarians.
Most of the remaining two thousand or so people are also knights, but those who are not knights are rare. Even if there are some, most of them are underage Kentana barbarians.
Including the original number of Kentana barbarian prisoners in New Malden Fortress, the number directly exceeded 2,500.
The first thing the mixed elite regiment did when they returned to the ruins fortress was to treat the wounded.
The leader of the Yongye Army achieved great results this time, but the price he paid was also not small.
Even with an absolute advantage in strength and equipment, they still paid the price of one champion knight being seriously injured, two great knights and thirty-seven knights killed, and hundreds of soldiers wounded.
There is no perfect strategy in this world, especially on the ever-changing battlefield, where any unexpected factor can cause the death of a soldier. Christina was the biggest unexpected factor they encountered this time.
Kentana barbarians are also unlucky enough to die, and the leader of the Evernight Army is no exception. There are always those who are unlucky or make wrong judgments.
The glorious victory cannot cover up the soldiers' grief at losing their comrades.
The leader of the Yongye Army has never been shy about this. Celebrating victory and paying homage to heroic souls have always been treated separately, with the latter placed in front of the former.
Respect for the dead is also respect for the living.
This concept has penetrated into the soul and marrow of every Yongye soldier as the number of heroic souls buried in the Hall of Heroes increases. To be able to die heroically for the territory and to protect their homeland is their best destination in this life and the greatest achievement.
Glory, their families, their descendants, will be proud of it and prosper, taking over their honor and responsibilities.
They will not deliberately pursue this kind of glory, but they will not be afraid. When this moment comes, they will gladly accept it. They believe that their heroic souls will be reborn in the Hall of Heroes and accept the incense of the people day and night.
The worshiper of faith continues to perform his duties in another way, guarding his beloved home and territory, witnessing him create more miracles, and move towards new glory.
Facts have proven that General Arnold's actual combat training methods are indeed unique.
The composition of the Lord's Guards is the most complex in the history of the Evernight Army.
It contains the backbone of the rise of the Yongye Army, the former Andisian youth army.
There are also Andis people from the former Walled City Alliance.
The two have been integrated for too long. Regardless of their values and knowledge levels, they have almost assimilated and it is difficult to distinguish them from each other.
At least people who came from the former Walled City Alliance rarely mention this past anymore.
On the contrary, some of the young soldiers can't help but think of themselves as having this unique origin, thinking that they are the direct descendants of the direct descendants, and they have an arrogance that they are not even aware of.
Sean had been aware of the existence of this emotion a long time ago and knew that this emotion was detrimental to the unity within the territory, as it would artificially divide people.
And the Yongye Army Leader is an out-and-out small race. Although it is true that they once had the glorious history of the Ancient Andis Empire, their ancestors have ruined their reputation. In many cases, not only do they not
It will be a boost for them, but it will have a counterproductive effect. It is a reality that they are now reduced to a small race. If they want to develop and grow, they must take the route of multi-racial integration.
Therefore, he adopted the de-juniorization method very early, but the effect was not very good.
Because no matter how hard he tried, he could not change their origins, especially since Young Jun was his most loyal supporter, so he could not use too drastic means to hurt their hearts, otherwise the gain would outweigh the loss.
After all, this emotion is complex, even if the source of their loyalty is a potential threat to racial integration.
After careful consideration, Sean has begun to introduce a new set of policies to change this situation, and the Lord's Guards will be the best starting point for implementing this new policy.
In addition, there are also the crocodile tribesmen and Kentana barbarians who have just joined the Evernight Army.
Even Odin the Orcs have a squad.
Sean did not want to make the Lord's Guards into a unique landscape of the Evernight Army, as a symbol of their multi-racial integration.
In this regard, Sean has always thought very carefully, including the flag they originally designed, their white mountain and black water flag. The background pattern is increasing as their territory expands. In the latest version of the flag, it has been
The Swamp of Despair and the eastern range of the Andis Mountains are included as symbols of the Alligator people and the Kentana savages of the mountains.
Racial integration is by no means as simple as talking about it, but starting from all aspects and details to form a common concept that everyone agrees with. When they regard the territory as their own home, the people here regard it as their relatives and the people of the tribe.
At that time, the integration policy of Yongye Military Leader was truly successful.
This unprecedented mixture means that there are many factions within the newly established Lord's Guards. People from various races and legions are grouped together. In addition, they are all the elites of the original legion, and they are all arrogant.
If you want to fuse into a large iron plate-like whole and unleash unprecedented combat power, the difficulty is not that high.
They have been integrating in the northern fortress for nearly a month, but basically no results have been seen.
But when they are dragged onto the battlefield and faced with a unique enemy like the Kentana barbarians, they have no choice but to stick together.
Because with their individual abilities, it is difficult for them to compete with the Kentana barbarians at the same level. In a military confrontation, having absolute power means having absolute lethality. They must work together and use two or three people to fight against each other.
force to compete with them.
Just like General Arnold said, when they fought side by side, back to back, exchanged lives, and exchanged blood, their feelings naturally sublimated. The small conflicts and nastiness in the past will become the same in the face of life and death.
Become insignificant, this is the life-changing friendship in the most essential sense, this is the robe of life and death.
The feelings accumulated during three days of fighting side by side are more effective than those of several years together.
The Lord's Guards finally saw a little bit of immaturity, but if they want to become the legendary elite, they still need to shed more blood, suffer more injuries, sacrifice more lives, and use their heroic souls and achievements to forge their own
Military spirit, that is the moment when an iron army is truly born. They are still far away from it now.
"These prisoners cannot stay in the ruins forts. Once there is a full-scale conflict with the Kentana barbarians, this place will be a frontline fortress. These prisoners will be the biggest factor of instability. Not only may they cooperate internally and externally, but they will also occupy a large number of manpower in the First Army.
, they must be moved into the interior of the territory." General Arnold said at the military summary meeting.
"Yes, there are not so many steel cells in the ruins fortress. One abyss makes us work hard, and two teams take turns to monitor it day and night. If there are four more champion knights and a double peaker with all kinds of tricks, our first legion will not have to do anything.
Nothing else, let’s just change our jobs to jailers.” Skullcrusher Mikey nodded in agreement.
Only one or two hundred Kentana barbarians were captured, and they didn't feel much about it, so it didn't matter if they were imprisoned on the spot.
Now that Mengbuding has increased tenfold, I am a bit dumbfounded.
The ruins forts currently house the First Legion of the Evernight Army and its affiliated engineer corps, as well as Skullcrusher McGee's Independent Guards Corps and General Yale's Mountain Kentana Barbarian Special Forces of Thousand Men.
Strictly speaking, these are three legions, with nearly 20,000 people, but there are five large and small fortresses they need to be stationed in. When divided, the permanent population in the main fortress is less than 10,000.
If they leave so many prisoners here, they won't even have to think about attacking.
The Lord's Guards came to them on a temporary loan, plus training, and could be transferred away at any time.
When General McGee settles his scores, he won't include them.
Not only is there military pressure, but there is also support pressure. The appetite of these Kentana barbarians is better than that of the mountain Kentana barbarians.
Even though there are only 2,230 people, the support pressure they bring will be doubled.
After all, the leader of the Yongye Army still wants to assimilate them, and having a full stomach is the prerequisite for this.
Throwing them here is definitely a waste.
And this matter will become more serious as they continue to hunt and capture more Kentana barbarians.
This is a trouble that is truly blissful.
"We can't just scatter them casually into the territory like the Duanya clan. These people are just put together temporarily. They have no blood relationship with each other, no deep feelings, no unified leadership, and no connection with us.
Deep feelings have been established in the territory, and even the languages are not shared. To disperse into the territory is to disperse countless time bombs, which is not only unsafe, but will also create more racial conflicts." General Dikron analyzed in a deep voice.
General Dikron once again used facts to explain the powerful self-healing ability of the champion knight, which can have a fatal impact on ordinary people. With him, after three or two days of training, you can get better, except that you cannot fight with high intensity.
, it’s basically no big deal now.
His analysis was unanimously recognized by all the generals, including Chief Locke and General Yale.
Kentana barbarians look the same as mountain Kentana barbarians, but are actually fundamentally different.
The Cliff Clan has been as a whole for many years, and they have deep feelings and bonds with each other. Spreading them out makes it easier to manage them.
Even if they are dissatisfied with the military leader and want to resist, they must consider whether other tribesmen scattered in the territory will be implicated for their actions.
Not to mention that before this, the Yongye Army Leader had already laid the groundwork for several years, building up a glorious and tall image in the hearts of the Kentana barbarians in the mountains.
Kentana savages have nothing. Many of them are alone and do things without any scruples.
If you rashly implement the same strategy as the Cliff Clan against them, you will only create hidden dangers for your own territory.
"The lord's guards will escort them all to the northern fortress, and I will find a way to resettle them there." Sean pondered for a while and gave his final opinion.
"Are they all placed in the northern fortress? I'm afraid the pressure on the lord is a bit great, right? Once they break free from the cage, they will directly attack the mage tower where the lord is!" General Dikron asked with a frown.
It's not that he doubts the powerful ability of the Mage Tower, but that the northern fortress is too important to the Yongye Army Leader now, and any safety risks should be eliminated as much as possible.
"The power of the mage tower and the magic of spells are far beyond your imagination. Since I dare to let you do this, I am fully prepared. When you go on the road, there will be a magic prison under construction. When you get there,
, I guarantee that even if they are very capable, they will not even think of making trouble." Sean slightly revealed his confidence in this aspect.
