Chapter 334 Complicated Hearts
Seeing that the mercenary army was frustrated for the fourth time, and still couldn't touch the opponent's moat, Ake Messer waved his hand helplessly and said: "Mingjin withdraws troops, stop attacking."
Not only was the attack of the mercenaries frustrated, but also because the first wave of crocodile cannon fodder had climbed onto the city wall along the rope. Kilometers, can be faintly heard.
Ake Messer could see clearly from the beginning to the end that there were no more than a thousand crocodile cannon fodder who climbed up the city wall along the ropes.
As for the cannon fodder of the crocodile people who were driven away by them before, there were more than 10,000.
In the case of one out of ten, what is there for them to be excited about?
Not only Ake Messer was confused.
Even Sean was a bit surprised, but after thinking about it, it seemed reasonable for this to happen.
Everyone understands the truth, but it doesn't mean they can completely harden their hearts.
These hundreds of crocodile people who escaped from death represent the good thoughts in their hearts. They cheer for these lucky ones, and at the same time cheer for the good thoughts preserved in their hearts.
Of course, this is just Xiao En's personal analysis. The soldiers didn't know what they were cheering for. They always felt a heartfelt impulse and a bit of enthusiasm.
But in this way, Ake Messer's heart-attack tactics were a complete failure.
Not only did there not be a rift between the Yong Ye army leader and the crocodile tribe, but they got closer invisibly. After all, they just worked together to complete this matter.
At this time, Xiao En couldn't help but glanced at the ancestor Nidia who was not far away, and couldn't help but think, is the other party trying to give a glimmer of hope to the crocodile people below? Or have you already calculated the current situation, so you made the previous proposal?
If it's the latter, her ability to read people's hearts is really terrifying.
Nidia seemed to feel something in her heart, and nodded towards Sean, with a smile of relief from the heart on her face.
do not care!
Regardless of whether the other party did it on purpose or not, the result was in the Yong Ye army's favor.
It shows that the opponent's heart is towards the leader of the Yongye army, and there is absolutely no need to entangle too much about this.
On the contrary, the more powerful the opponent is, the more help he will provide to the Yong Ye army leader.
"Don't move, raise your hands and kneel on the ground."
"It's so courageous to commit murder in front of so many people."
Just when the Kingsley family tried to attack for the first time, but nothing came of it.
There was a slight chaos on the city wall of Brother Port, and the place where the chaos happened was those crocodile people who had just been rescued on the city wall.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"There was a cannibalism between the crocodile people who just escaped. A small man knocked down a big and thick man with a broken arrow. Needless to say, the ferocious force was aimed at the throat, chest, etc. The fatal point, after seven or eight stabs in a row, that stout man fell down on the spot."
"So cruel? When they were under the city wall, they beat life and death. It can be understood as survival. Now that it is safe, it is a bit unreasonable to kill people. That murderer is likely to be regarded as a model and executed on the spot. Let those people learn a lesson, this place is no longer outside the city, you can’t mess around.”
"That Akemesser's method is cruel enough, he turned a group of people into a group of wild beasts, look at their behavior in the city, their human nature is so distorted, even if they are rescued, it is difficult to integrate into normal lived."
"Hey, it depends on who's in the hands. If they were left alone before, they might turn into a big cancer in the future. If they are in the hands of the Military Commission, it will take less than two years to make their minds very normal. "
"Don't tell me, it's really possible. If you don't talk about it, our Military Commission has the ability."
"Are you talking bad about me behind my back?"
"Military Commission."
"The Valais Military Commission was joking, how dare we... no, how could we speak ill of you behind your back? You are our most respected and beloved person, 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. The lord is watching nearby. Don't embarrass our third guard, otherwise even if I don't skin you, the guard will take it easy. 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 the guard, or the Military Commission."
"You just know what's in your mind. It's best not to talk about this kind of thing."
"clear!"
It was Bivis who was pinned to the ground by two Eternal Night soldiers, and it was Ke Lun who was stabbed to death by him.
God really doesn't open his eyes.
Good people like the lame old man were nailed to the side of the road early and tortured to death.
But a villain like Ke Lun escaped from the dangerous environment repeatedly.
This made Bivis's chest feel tight, and he felt uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it.
This person can be called a model among villains. Not only has no moral bottom line, but he is also treacherous. Before climbing the city wall, he even destroyed his face with a weapon.
If it weren't for someone as caring as Bivis, who kept staring at him from behind, he might have really let him slip through.
Especially with his familiar appearance, he soon became one with the crocodile tribe on the city wall, which further stimulated Bivis.
If God doesn't punish him for his crimes, let him do it for him.
Ke Lun didn't even think that he was still staring at such a person behind his back.
Bivis suddenly exploded, and naturally fulfilled his wish and sent the broken arrow into Colum's body.
When he was dying, Ke Lun didn't know why he died, but for a person like him, although this kind of death was unexpected, it was expected.
Maybe God was watching from the beginning to the end, just with the help of Bivis.
Of course, Bivis was unwilling to risk his life for someone like Ke Lun, and while obediently kneeling and surrendering, he said loudly: "This man is a spy, named Ke Lun, and he is a spy who betrayed his people and joined the enemy. Many clansmen were killed by him, if you don’t believe me, you can investigate.”
"Shut up, you're attacking in public, and you dare to talk too much. Believe it or not, I'll cut you off right away." A Yong Ye soldier kicked Bivis hard in the stomach.
Bivis turned into a big shrimp on the spot, his face was red, but he kept yelling: "I'm not lying, what I'm saying is true, this person is a spy."
"Don't dare to talk too much... Your lord." The Yongye soldier's words changed 180 degrees.
Naturally, it was Xiao En and his party who came over, frowning slightly: "What's going on?"
Anything that involves the relationship between the Yongye army leader and the crocodile tribe is not a trivial matter, especially this kind of matter that is under the spotlight of everyone. The kick just now by this Yongye soldier was obviously simple and rude.
Sean didn't directly hold this Yongye soldier accountable, because he didn't hold onto his identity, thinking that doing so would lower his value.
It's that Sean is now very conscious of being a leader. If he shows too much personal likes and dislikes, it is easy to make small things bigger, and some people below will automatically figure out what he means.
His raised eyebrow just now, in the eyes of this Yongye soldier's immediate superior, would cause trouble, and afterward, he probably won't have any good results.
Xiao Enming knew this, so he couldn't intervene without authorization, otherwise it would be more likely to complicate matters.
As the system grows, there will be more and more such things. He must step up his cultivation in this area and try to be as quiet as possible.
Before the soldier could reply, Bivis said loudly as if grasping at a straw, "My lord, I killed someone for a reason. This man is really a spy. Look at the scar on his face, he cut it himself." Yes, this person is named Ke Lun, and many people have been oppressed by him, and they can testify for me, but you say something, is it true that your conscience has been eaten by dogs? You dare not even speak 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. In the end, he was betrayed by this beast and hanged on a cross. You dare not avenge the lame old man. I did it. I just ask you to touch your conscience and tell the truth."
Bivis never knew that his eloquence could be so good, and he could say so many words in a row.
Months of slavery, although every moment felt like being in purgatory, it did teach Bivis a lot.
For example, forbearance, such as observing words and expressions.
From afar, he could see that Sean was different.
Wherever the other party passed by, the soldiers on the city wall couldn't help puffing out their chests and tucking in their stomachs, their eyes following him all the way, with excitement and enthusiasm that couldn't be concealed.
Bivis didn't know why they looked at a young man who looked not much older than him, but he knew that this was a great chance for his own life.
"Oh?" Sean couldn't help but glanced at the young crocodile.
Like the other rescued crocodile tribesmen, he also had a sallow face of malnutrition, but compared to the numb expressions of most people, his eyes still maintained a bit of agility.
Also, it is definitely not an ordinary person who can violently kill people surrounded by many soldiers.
In particular, the person who was killed was a man of five ranks and three ranks, who still retained a certain foundation of military training.
"I can prove that there is indeed a beast named Ke Lun who joined the gangsters and oppressed us. His appearance is 70% to 80% similar to him, but I don't know whether it is this person."
"I can also prove it."
"I can too."
I don't know if Bivis' words moved them, or if some of them really helped them like the lame old man or someone similar to the lame old man, which moved them. After a period of dead silence, some people spoke one after another.
It's just that Ke Lun is also a ruthless person, and he completely disfigures his face. Those who don't have a deep relationship with him don't dare to bite him.
"Put him alone first, and send someone to thoroughly investigate this matter." Sean did not directly draw a conclusion, but set an argument for this matter, and someone will naturally investigate this matter thoroughly.
Sean believed him to some extent, after all, the scar on Colum's face was the biggest doubt.
Even on the battlefield, such injuries concentrated on the face are not common, especially if none of them are fatal, it is even rarer.
If there is no ghost in your heart, why cover your face?
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." Bivis heaved a long sigh of relief, knowing that his life was saved for the time being.
"Don't worry, if what you stated is true, you will not only be innocent, but meritorious. We won't let a bad guy go, and we won't wrong a good guy either." Rather than talking to Bivis, Sean might as well rush Talking to the group of rescued crocodile people.
"Thank you, sir." The only thing Bivis could do was to keep thanking him.
"Press it down." Sean waved his hands at the Yongye soldiers who were escorting him.
Before leaving, Bivis gave Xiao En a deep look, as if he wanted to remember him in his heart.
After watching him leave, Sean turned his head to Nidia and said, "Old Ancestor, these people are a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and they are not suitable to be placed here. Should we just transport them to the Yongye Army Commander and resettle them? Help them return to normal as soon as possible." life?"
"You are the supreme commander, so it is up to you." Nidia said with a long sigh, "Their performance outside the city was a little bit bad, but it is largely limited by the general environment, and their heart is not necessarily bad. Yes, if you can save one, save one."
"Rest assured, in this regard, we have professionals who will do their best to help them." Sean replied confidently.
"I don't worry about you doing things, just do as you say." Nidia didn't get entangled in this matter either.
After all, she also knows that the composition of these people is too complicated, and it will be difficult to screen out for a while. Who knows if there are any ghost slaves or rebels planted by the Kingsley family.
It doesn't matter whether they are the crocodile people who were really expelled, or the people with ulterior motives, once they are sent to the Yongye army, they can play very little role, which is the most stable opinion.
In this tentative attack, the leader of the Yongye army and the crocodile tribe rescued a total of more than 800 expelled crocodile tribe cannon fodder.
After a short rest, they were directly loaded on a ship and transported to the Yongye Army Commander, where they were resettled elsewhere to prevent future troubles.
This time, there were not many casualties in the trial, but many problems were exposed on both sides.
The first is the issue of the command of the Yongye army leader and the crocodile tribe. The two have their own command systems. Although an agreement has been reached, the entire defense is dominated by the Yongye army leader, and the crocodile tribe is the assistant. The defense coach of the Yongye army leader , has the highest command.
When it came time to implement it, it was full of difficulties. After all, there were differences in the military law standards implemented by the two sides, and the elders of the Crocodile Clan could not follow orders and prohibit them like the middle and low-level officers of the Yong Ye Army.
Like before, the elders of the crocodile clan refused to carry out the orders of the defensive coach and accused them, although under the mediation of Nidia and other wise elders, it was perfectly resolved.
But that's just palliative, not the root cause.
The root of the problem still exists, and similar problems will still appear again and again.
Netia and the others can't arrive in time every time, can they?
It's okay to say that the war is not tense, but the war is tense. When they arrived, the day lily was cold.
What's more, Nidia and the others are first and foremost the elders of the crocodile tribe. No matter how impartial they are, if something goes wrong, most of them will still lean towards the crocodile tribe.
Not only the leader of the Yongye Army himself has noticed this problem, but according to Ake Messer's shrewdness, he can guess one or two based on the coverage of the two waves of arrow rain before and after, and maybe he will attack this point next time.
War itself is a complex science.
It's not just about two armies confronting each other, it's as simple as a competition of whose soldiers are strong and horses are strong.
As the saying goes, the right time, place and people will affect the final outcome of the war.
Mind attack, in all military strategies, is definitely the best strategy.
Sure enough, within a few days, rumors were flying everywhere in Hong Kong.
What to say, the leader of the Yongye Army has ulterior motives, even if the Kingsley family is driven out of the Swamp of Despair, the Swamp of Despair is no longer purely owned by the crocodile tribe, and the crocodile tribe will become the vassal of the leader of the Yongye army.
The crocodile people just used the Yong Ye army leader, and waited until the battle was over, that is, when the two sides drew their swords to face each other.
Brother Port is an isolated city and cannot be defended for a long time. Once the city is broken, the leader of the Yongye army can retreat to the Andes Mountains, but the crocodile tribe has nowhere to retreat, so they must make early plans.
Anyway, it was aimed at the relationship between the leader of Yong Ye and the people of the Crocodile Clan, trying his best to provoke.
However, the methods of deceiving people's hearts are quite low-level, and they are all left over from the leader of the Yongye Army. Not to mention compared with the military committees of the Yongye Army (deputy professional title), even compared with those businessmen, it is still somewhat different. Not as good.
Verbal temptation and practical benefits are interspersed with each other, and that is the real advanced state.
The leader of the Yong Ye Army had once tricked the Elder Council of the Crocodile Tribe in this regard, so how could he not guard against this trick?
Targeted propaganda is usually done at all times. It is a wrong calculation for Ake Meser to destroy the relationship between the leader of the Yongye army and the crocodile tribe based on this alone.
There are indeed quite a few problems between the leader of the Yongye army and the crocodile tribe, but it is by no means to the point where they can be broken with a single poke.
Those bugs that had infiltrated into Brother Port, no matter how stealthy their whereabouts, could not escape the eagle's eye, they were quickly caught, and their corpses were hung on the city wall to air-dry for public display.
However, it is not so easy to completely eliminate this problem. This involves the most core and most focused issue-military power.
If the unification of military power is not completed, it is wishful thinking to achieve orders and prohibitions, as if they are one.
But the Elder Council of the Crocodile Clan has been reluctant to hand over military power for a long time.
Because in their eyes, military power is their confidence and guarantee. If they don't have military power, how can they negotiate terms with the Yong Ye Army?
Wouldn't it be true that he would become a vassal of the Yong Ye army leader?
To deal with them, the Eternal Night Army has countless tricks to think of, such as win over, divide, exchange interests, etc. The multi-person parliamentary system of the Crocodile Elder Council is their biggest flaw.
There are many people with mixed hearts.
The kind of selfless elders of the crocodile tribe who are dedicated to the interests of the entire crocodile tribe are really rare. They are like the nobles of the Byron Alliance. the overall interests of the tribe.
This is the opportunity that the Yong Ye army leader can take advantage of, the elders of the crocodile tribe who fell to them first, that's how they came.
But the problem is that these methods need to be operated for a long time and cannot be achieved overnight.
What they lack now is time. It is impossible for Ake Messer to spend several years besieging the city.
At that time, there is no need to fight at all, and the long transportation and supply line will drag the Kingsley family down.
Just as Kelman's main chief of staff analyzed, the final battle must be this winter, when the sky is freezing and the moat is frozen.
