Chapter 157: Take advantage of the fire

At the beginning, Starbucks also wanted to take the air, to cut off the trading channel between the Evernight Legion and the Lord and Nobleman of the Manyu Army. As a threat, he wanted the Evernight Legion to be softened and actively begged them to conduct business. , Squeeze and squeeze round, it's not that they have the final say.
The results can be imagined.
The Eternal Night Legion did not bird them at all, the mountain pass was blocked, and no one was allowed in or out.
After a long time, Starbucks couldn't hold back.
With the first heir of the Faerun family Philip and the Lancelot royal family, and the second heir Patlem and the Holy See, the pressure on the slave rebels doubled.
Although the Lancelot royal family did not mobilize troops, a large amount of material resources were continuously sent to Philip. The richness of the Asia Minor Plain was famous throughout the world, and the Lancelot royal family, which occupied most of the Asia Minor Plain, was also notoriously wealthy. Especially after the iron princess Sophie Lina has taken part of her wealth from the Holy See of the Holy Ethereal for two years, it is said that the mice in the granary are as fat as a cat.
Qianliang is Philip's biggest shortcoming. After filling it up, it will naturally snowball and develop and grow. A large number of Manyu army leaders and nobles began to move closer to him, turning a deaf ear to the orders of the new Grand Duke Patlem.
It is not that Philip is the heir of the famous saying of the Man Yu Army leader. This kind of nonsense can only fool the new nobles, but he holds the Man Yu Army leader's first elite army-Golden Camel Heavy Cavalry.
Compared to Patlem, who adopted the tactics of the tortoise tactics, Philip advocated offensive more. The golden camel attacked frequently. Those small groups of slave rebels did not mean their opponents. The blood of their killings flowed into rivers and fled in embarrassment. Hundred kilometers.
If protection can be sought from him, the nobles will naturally move closer to him. In this chaotic situation, survival always comes first.
Compared to Lancelot’s more euphemistic approach, the Holy See of Saint Ether is more direct. The Cardinal Saint George, who came to baptize Patlem, directly brought a Knights of the Holy See. No, the Knights of the Holy See are more suitable. .
There are tens of thousands of knights of the Holy See plus mad believers, plus their followers, and their composition is very complicated.
There are guards of the Holy See brought by St. George from the Holy See Holy Land San Andi.
There were also news of the devout knights of the Holy See who joined them in the name of Saint George, the guardian of the living saint.
There are also desperate fanatics who have been enlightened by Saint George along the way.
In addition, there are a large number of unbelievers who follow them, most of them have certain confidence in their own force, and some are unsatisfactory in the locals. They have long heard of the chaos led by the Man Yu army, and want to join in. Geng is only limited by his own strength, and there is no way to go alone. Now that I heard that St. George is going to go, he naturally took his belongings with him and participated enthusiastically.
St. George did not reject those who came, thinking that this was a great opportunity to strengthen his power.
When the mighty and mighty arrived at the Manyu army leader, they had this scale.
Regarding this situation, Patlem was not surprised and rejoiced. Not long ago, due to his attitude towards the Holy See of the Holy Ether, he completely fell out with Angel Beina.
Angie Bella took General Christopher, withdrew from Philadelphia, and retreated to the territory of General Christopher, declared neutral to the outside world, and officially announced the establishment of the Red Cross Hospital Knights. With the mission of saving the dead and eliminating the war, she began to run around and promote her own Peace concept.
Perhaps it is that Man Yujun’s leadership has been too turbulent in recent years, or perhaps her brand-new concept has won the recognition of some people, and a large number of people have joined them, not only the low-level civilian farmers, but also some The little nobles, knights, and farmers, they also suffered from the scourge of war, and wanted to end the war as soon as possible and return to the stable life that was not rich before.
At this time, Patlem was weak, and he was frightened all day long, lest Philip led his iron cavalry, and rushed to him like a flood, lest the Holy Ether Vatican’s help was not strong enough, and where could he have the energy to consider the guest. The reason for overwhelming?
Even if I knew it, I didn't care.
Although the Holy See of the Holy Ethereal has been extending its hands to the worldly rights, it always takes into account the reactions of other nobles and nobles. Therefore, even if it does, it must be very obscure to prevent others from grabbing their hands. Want to control the Man Yu army leader, but also by overhead Pat Lem.
In this regard, Patlem has long been used to it. In the past, many people turned to him not because of his ability, but because he wanted to use his identity.
Conrad is the same, and Angie Bella is the same.
The former grave head grass is one foot tall, and the latter takes her followers away from the center of power.
And he Pat Lem step by step, leading to the pinnacle of power.
Now it is just a change of Holy Ether Holy See. If it were in the Asia Minor Plain, the core of their power, Pat Lem would dare to do so, and he would definitely sell himself, but here is the turbulent and chaotic Manyu army leader.
Even if the Holy See of Saint Ether is a strong dragon, it has to rely on him as a snake to make waves.
Once a person is overconfident, the result is usually not particularly good.
Patlem was obviously overconfident.
St. George, who has the reputation of a living saint in the Holy See of the Holy Ethereal, is known as the genius of the Holy See of the Holy Ethereal for thousands of years.
From the beginning, St. George has not concealed his strength, and has extraordinary eloquence.
The tongue grows lotus, the words are pearls, and the words are endless.
These adjectives are very suitable for him, and he never talks in empty words, he is very good at catching people's desires, and uses words to stimulate and amplify them, thus generating a sense of identity with his views.
In two public speeches, most of Patlem's followers became his followers, including Patlem himself.
Because Saint George not only baptized Patlem, but also accepted him as a godson, opening up a wider world for him-the Manyu army leader is only a corner of the Assan continent and the Byron alliance.
If he can truly integrate into the big family of Holy See of the Holy Ether, Patlem's achievements are far from being as simple as becoming a military leader.
And St. George will be Patrem's best guide.
In other words, it is no longer Patlem, but St. George, who now dominates the Patlem Group.
Unlike Patlem’s conservativeness, the lofty, ambitious, and young St. George is more aggressive. He hates any form of rebellion, thinking that they are saboteurs among the flock, and only converts to the Holy See and believes in the of truth. , Is the right way out.
Although St. George and Philip did not communicate between messengers, they reached a consensus on this point, and began to consciously shift their forces to the slave rebels.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it will not take long for the leader of the Manyu army to have a big battle, and the slave rebel army will be the first target.
The slave rebels naturally increased their pressure and tried every means to expand their strength.
However, their origins destined them to be targeted by all the nobles and natural enemies, and no one would risk the world to trade with them, not to mention the looting of them has been looted.
There is always a limit to looting and gains. When there are no targets around for them to looted, they can only rely on self-reliance and trade.
However, their ability to be self-reliant is indeed unflattering.
Their main components are slave gladiators and the lowest serfs.
Needless to say, the former can basically do nothing except murder.
It is also difficult for the latter to say what skills they have. After all, they have engaged in the most heavy repetitive labor before, and many people will not be able to work without the whip of the slave owner.
They didn't pay attention to gathering the handicraftsmen in the first place, but when they came to think of it, the effect can be imagined. Many people are almost harmed. Even if they are forced to join them, they won't really do things.
Without time to accumulate, they would not be able to complete the transition from bandit to leader. What they lack most is time.
The Eternal Night Legion became their only choice, even if the conditions proposed by the Eternal Night Legion were very harsh and the price was very high, they could only pinch their noses to recognize it.
Marshall may not have been a qualified profiteer before, but the financial pressure on him was too heavy, and he could only sullen his mind and slashed a layer of skin from the slave rebel army.
Not only did the Eternal Night Legion be refurbished, but it was also packaged and sold to the slave rebel army at a price that was 30% higher than the new equipment.
It even sold the Andis longbow and Tang's studded armor at a price three times higher than that of the nobles of the Lord, which was about the same weight as gold and silver.
Not only did most of the wealth looted from the slave rebels were robbed, but also a large amount of new labor was finally obtained from the opponent's hands.
Some of the slave rebels were Andean slaves. They joined the slave rebels only to get rid of their status as slaves, not to agree with their ideas.
As they were in the hinterland of the Manyu Army, they had no choice but to fight with the slave uprising army, but now they were close to their hometown. Many people showed their desire to go back to Dashan. Someone secretly contacted the Yongye Army.
When the incident was discovered, the senior leaders of the slave rebel army were furious. At that time, when the two sides first contacted, the slave rebel army showed resistance.
However, some things can't be suppressed, the longer the pressure, the more powerful, the more terrifying the burst of power.
They started their business on this, and naturally they know it very well.
Therefore, there is a supplementary agreement between the two parties.
Some of the slave rebels voluntarily went to the Evernight Legion, and the Slave Rebel Army could not stop them, but for every person they went, the Evernight Legion should give compensation for the response and deduct military supplies.
Such people are neither too many nor too few. There are nearly 10,000 of them. There are fewer young and strong laborers, mostly women and children. Compared with the former, the latter yearns for a more stable life.
The Eternal Night Legion will not refuse to come, as everyone, regardless of the old, young, women and children, can play a role in the Eternal Night Legion and create value. It is just a matter of how many people are afraid of being available.
Starbucks was a decisive man. He surpassed all opinions. He entrapped the slave rebel army and had no sense of belonging to them, especially the old, weak, and disabled. Night Legion.
The benefits of this are obvious. Not only have they obtained more equipment, but they have also streamlined their own composition, and their combat effectiveness has not decreased but increased - at least when they strayed, they would be faster without the drag of these people.
As for the slave rebels, they are stationed here.
If Starbuck and Dick Long dared to make such a decision, they would not be far away from their defeat.
Their advantage lies in the flow, and then entrap more refugees.
They moved closer to the Andes Mountains. In addition to preventing their stomachs and backs from being attacked by the enemy, the Manyu army commander had almost been harmed by them, and they were looking for a new direction of harm.
Their options are nothing more than so few.
One is to go west and go to the Fragmented Prairie, but there is the fief of the Strech family, it is the prairie of Pingchuan, not to mention, from the ancient Andes Empire, the Strech family who guarded the blood fortress of Fractured. , Has the most elite and powerful knights in the world-Broken-mouthed Blood Cavalry.
This name is not self-proclaimed, but killed. It is piled up with countless Strache family blood and Odin orc bones. Years of constant wars have always kept them at their peak. When the Leiqi family fell into a trough, it must also be a bad time for the Byron Alliance. Once the Odin orcs broke through, it would be a killing.
Therefore, the Strache family, the family that has taken the responsibility of guarding the blood fortress as its mission for generations, is the most prestigious and respected family in the Byron Alliance, to some extent, even above the Lancelot royal family.
If anyone dared to attack the Strachey family, he would risk the world and poke the lungs of the entire Byron Alliance. It is inevitable to attack in groups.
Those slave rebels did not understand this truth, and Starbucks, who came from the nobleman of the Lord, would not fail to understand this truth. They withdrew to the east, which has already explained this point.
The slave rebel army not only gave up the possibility of marching westward, but also gave up the possibility of marching into the plains of Asia Minor to the southwest.
Although the Plain of Asia Minor is known as the richest place on the continent of Assane, it is also the most difficult place to mess with. It is not only the territory of the Lancelot royal family, but also the most prosperous place of the Holy See of the Holy Ether. Attacking here is like stabbing a hornet's nest. , The Saint Ether Vatican in the whole continent will become their enemies.
Needless to say, there are cut-off mountains blocking it in the north, small-scale entry and exit, large-scale movement, don't even think about it, and to the north, it is not that they rob others, but the poorer Odin orcs.
The slave rebels now choose only two directions.
In fact, they have tried the idea of ​​attacking the Andis mountain people eastward. Sean and the Evernight Legion are standing in the way. If they want to enter the mountain, they must be knocked out now. From the current situation Look, the difficulty is not generally high.
The last one is the idea of ​​going south and hitting the Kingsley family in the Carthusian hills. This is the largest mining area in the continent, rich in copper and iron. It is no exaggeration to say that among the three iron tools used on the continent of Ashan, there must be one The pieces are from the Kingsley family.
Therefore, the Kingsley family is also known as the richest family in the continent, and has the reputation of being a stag made of gold coins (the Kingsley family badge is a golden stag running among gold coins), but their money is not golden. It was scarlet, built on the bones of millions of mine slaves. This is the largest slave export place for the Manyu army.
This is also the biggest move of the slave rebel army, and the benefits of attacking here are numerous.
This place is rich enough to obtain a large amount of supplies and wealth, especially a large amount of weapons and equipment-even if the Eternal Night Legion freely trades with them, it cannot fully meet the needs of the slave rebels for weapons and equipment. After all, the mountain itself Ironware is scarce. Weapons and equipment are mainly bows, crossbows and leather armor. Iron weapons are not enough for the Eternal Night Legion, so how can they be traded.
There are enough slaves here. This is their natural source of troops. If they can take this place, the size of the slave rebel army will reach a level of terror.
The terrain of Carthusian hills is complex enough that once you enter here, you can hide and seek with the enemy.
The only drawback ~EbookFREE.me~ is that the goal is too obvious. Everyone knows that the slave rebels are most likely to go south, so they will naturally be prepared for it. The Kingsley family has long mobilized heavy troops on the border to guard against it. Stubbornly.
Once the slave rebels were unable to quickly break through the Kingsley family's defenses, they would inevitably be made dumplings by the Allied forces led by the Man Yu army, and there would be no chance of turning over.
As for the large amount of valuables traded from the slave rebel army, the Eternal Night Legion is not very useful. It is effective and has a simple life. Except for the general who is a little particular about food and personal hygiene, the people below will not take their own lives. Too luxurious.
To be more precise, they are just a group of buns who have never seen the world. Using their relatively simple thinking, they still have no way to imagine what a luxurious life is like. Perhaps in their eyes, they eat three meals a day and eat all the belly. Rounding is luxury.
In a certain way, it is not unreasonable for the nobles under the command of the Manyu Army to look down on the Eternal Night Legion.
Sean is also very happy to let the Evernight Legion maintain this kind of purity. Although there is no way to maintain it forever, but if it can be maintained for a period of time, let it be maintained for a period of time!
