Chapter 155: Grass on the Wall
With the air mill and water mill, it has become much easier to decompress, not to mention, and the labor cost has been greatly reduced.
These wind mills and water mills, which have been researched by the special team of the Eternal Night Legion, can not only grind noodles.
The shelling function on the frame can be shelled, the grinding disc on the frame can grind the surface, and the hammer on the frame can be forged, and the multi-functional product uses water energy and wind energy to the extreme.
Of course, if you use this for yourself, it's not completely free, it's not that the Legion of the Eternal Night, like the lords of other realms, wants to use this to make money, and even the mill has to add an extra layer of bread tax.
However, these public facilities always need daily maintenance, and the usage fees charged are completely used in this aspect, purely for long-term reasons, and the price is relatively reasonable and low.
Even if it is a mountain man who picks the door again, he will not abandon it because of this cost, and he will not use it because of his own shelling work, it is better to think about earning it back from somewhere else, in the Eternal Night Legion, the most afraid is laziness, as long as you are diligent, there is a job for you to do, and the Eternal Night Legion will never use day labor.
"White flour steamed buns, the most particular about a soft and moderate, the main effort is on fermentation, insufficient fermentation, poor hardness, and sour, the taste is naturally poor, the fermentation is big, too soft, and there is no natural wheat fragrance. β
"Yangchun noodles, noodles must be strong, boil scallion oil with fatty pork on high fire, and then pour broth, the soup is clear and fresh, light and refreshing. β
"Dumplings, you must choose lean meat plus cabbage, the filling should be finely chopped, the skin is thin and the filling is large, so that it tastes delicious. β
Seeing the patches of wheat, turning into white flour, it is false to say that they are not excited, this is their Eternal Night Army, from scratch, little by little, hard work, countless days and nights, guarding this land, isn't it just to wait for him to produce?
Most of the goals pursued by people in this world are so simple - to live and be fed.
This goal seems so simple, but it is so difficult to do.
With the new noodles, Sean naturally couldn't help but show off, and he was also greedy, the Eternal Night Army said that it was a white flour steamed bun every day, but it was actually a multigrain steamed bun mixed with a lot of barley and bran, and the taste was far from that of a real white flour steamed bun.
In terms of taste, spring wheat is naturally inferior to winter wheat that has experienced severe cold and heat, but it is also stronger than multigrain steamed bread.
When it comes to eating pasta, it is natural to first recommend the Han culture that has been cultivated for thousands of years, among which Shanxi and Shaanxi are the best.
It's too cumbersome, and Sean won't either, but some home-cooked ways to eat it are not a problem.
Soon, the sky above the entire Eternal Night Legion was shrouded in the rich aroma of pasta, and the bellies of the food were round one by one, and the faces were red, and even the fatigue of the harvest was reduced a lot, if you could live such a day every day, even the gods could not compare.
With this batch of new food, the Eternal Night Legion has more confidence.
A protracted war is a logistical supply.
And grain is the hardest hard currency in the world, and with this batch of grain, the mountain people of the Walled City Alliance in the area they occupy can be used for their own use.
Most of the mountain people are in a state of extreme poverty, even if they don't have the last meal and no next meal, there is no surplus food at home, there is food to earn, naturally it is a fart, in their eyes, there is no difference in power, whoever can feed their stomachs, they will follow whomever they want.
The Eternal Night Legion is very good at this, and in just half a month, tens of thousands of new laborers have been integrated, either cultivating barren fields, or following behind the attached engineer corps, although they did not use the mountain people who have been transformed by the Eternal Night Legion, but didn't those mountain people come over like this?
It won't be long before they will not only become like those mountain people, but even many others will become the new blood of the Eternal Night Legion.
There is no way back for the Hebrews.
Ben Hebrew, the old fox, has been able to grow step by step to the point where it has now, and naturally has its own uniqueness, fighting wits and courage with the emerging Eternal Night Legion, and always falling behind.
That's because the Legion of the Eternal Night, as an emerging force, has many things that the Ban Hebrew can't even imagine, and if he looks at the Legion of the Eternal Night with his own old-fashioned eyes, he will naturally be restricted everywhere.
But compared with his peers in the Walled City Alliance, who are on the same starting line, he can be called an old treacherous and cunning.
Soon after the autumn harvest, he led a small number of guards to the Walled City Alliance, and cried to the big and small city lords of the Walled City Alliance.
"Mr. Antonios died so miserably! After being shot by random arrows, we were trampled to death by countless angry mountain bulls, and we were separated by countless fire oxen, far away, and we wanted to ask for help, but we were also powerless. β
"Sean, I'm going to break you into pieces!"
"Legion of the Eternal Night, I am at odds with you!"
"The revenge of killing your father will be avenged, even if you try your best, you will never compromise with it. β
The children of Antonios, real or false, roared angrily.
The Walled City Alliance selected elites and attacked the medical research base at night, but they were wiped out by the Eternal Night Legion, except for Ben Hebrew, who used his magic power to hide his ability to hide and escaped the catastrophe, and the rest were directly wrapped in dumplings.
Up to now, the people of the Walled City Alliance also knew little about the situation that night, and when they heard that their father had died so tragically, the children of Antonios had to say something.
"The wolf ambition of the Eternal Night Legion, eyeing our Walled City Alliance, will definitely not give up, and now it has invaded nearly half of the land of my Three Cave Alliance, our lips are cold, if my Three Cave Alliance is taken, Four Waters City will face a two-sided attack, and the day of defeat is not far away. β
"We should not sit idly by, but unite more closely, the mystery of where the Eternal Night Legion can point to where to fight, we have gained insight into it, if we continue to defend separately as before, sooner or later we will be eaten by the wolf pack tactics of the Eternal Night Legion, little by little, we should gather our strength, defend a place where the Eternal Night Legion is bound to win, fight with them, consume them to death, and bleed to death!"
Ben Hebrew was no longer silent this time, but incarnated as an orator, with good eloquence, yin and yang frustration, coupled with the super memory of a warlock, sometimes one by one, the new and old hatred of the people present against the Eternal Night Legion, all aroused.
Many tendoned young people, with their blood rushing to their brains, screamed, eager to draw their knives immediately and fight with the Eternal Night Legion.
"Mr. Ben Hebrew, you are worthy of being a famous wise man in our mountains! With a man as smart as you, why is there such an obvious trap? Was the decision made in the first place too careless? And all the people are folded in it, why can you be alone?"
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man with a somewhat gloomy look, named Gegild, the third son of Antonios, although he had not been loved by Antonios, but his ability was outstanding among his brothers, and after Antonios' death, he rose to prominence and became the most favorable contender for the new city lord of Four Waters City.
What's even more interesting is that this most unpopular son, but among all the children, he is the most concerned about the death of Antonios.
"The authorities are fascinated, the bystanders are clear, whether it is the proposal or the final decision, it is not out of my own hands, I am also a victim, and it is purely personal luck to be able to get away with it. Ben Hebrew apparently summed it up afterwards himself.
"At that time, we underestimated the Eternal Night Legion, I didn't expect our internal erosion by the other party so badly, you probably don't know it, this is a trap laid by the other party at the beginning, a lot of information is deliberately leaked to us by the other party, the most clever thing about the other party is that a lot of information is not passed on to us by inferior means, but let us find it in a way that we think is secret, and then make corresponding decisions, at most they are secretly fueling the troubles. β
"Before the opponent's trap was launched, we were all triumphant, thinking that victory was close at hand! You are now qualified to judge us because something has happened, and if you are in the game, you may not necessarily make a more shrewd choice than us! I believe that the horror of the Eternal Night Legion has been fully understood here, do you think that we can resist the opponent's attack on all fronts without falling into the opponent's trap?"
In the face of Ben Hebrew's questioning, all the city lords of the Walled City Alliance fell silent.
Ask yourself, if the elite of the Walled City Alliance had not been ambushed and damaged, and the Legion of the Eternal Night launched a full-scale attack, would they have been able to withstand it?
The answer is only pessimistic, the strong strength of the Eternal Night Legion scares them, they are like turtles retracted into their shells, they would rather fight in the nest than face the Eternal Night Legion head-on.
Gegild said expressionlessly: "Your Excellency Ben Hebrew, it is an exaggeration, I admit that the Eternal Night Legion is powerful, but it is not strong enough to be irresistible, otherwise, the other party would have killed it a long time ago, where do we have the opportunity to sit here and talk? If Your Excellency really thinks so, I am afraid that if you don't have the courage to talk about it here, you would have already handed over the surrender letter to the Eternal Night Legion?"
Ben Hebrew said with a sad face: "Do you think I did not do this? Let me tell you the truth, before I came, I had sent three waves of peace messengers, but they were all intercepted and killed by the Legion of the Eternal Night, and now there is no one alive or dead, and they are not willing to negotiate peace with us at all." β
Ben Hebrew cleverly changed a concept and turned me into us.
"What? How can you do that?"
"Why did the Legion of the Eternal Night do that?"
The two whys, but from a completely different starting point, doubt, horror, anger, and different negative emotions are intertwined.
There are doubts about the Hebrew practices of Ban and the practices of the Legion of the Eternal Night, the latter far surpassing the former.
Because many people's hearts are more or less similar thoughts, they really can't resist it, so they take refuge in the Eternal Night Army, which is their most common trick, surrender and rebel, fight to the death today, and tomorrow they are good brothers who eat wine and meat together, and the day after tomorrow will continue to die, which is really the norm.
They don't have the idea of preferring to die in their hearts, and the fact that they haven't done so now is purely because they haven't been cornered yet, and of course, it is also related to the speed with which the Eternal Night Legion dispatched troops and didn't give them time to react at all.
How did the Legion of the Eternal Night refuse to negotiate and surrender, how could they not be surprised, how could they not be angry?
Ben Hebrew said with a burning fire: "You should open your eyes and see what Sean and his so-called Eternal Night Legion have done, their core is on those untouchables, not on us, throughout the entire Eternal Night Legion, how many of them were named and surnamed in the past? β
"How can they tolerate us joining us and destroying their unity in the direction of their development? They are more interested in your subjects than in you, and even if they accept your submission, will you be able to accept their way of eating and sleeping with those untouchables? Will you be willing to give up all your power and wealth? Or do you think that the Legion of the Eternal Night will compromise with you and tolerate you to continue to be your own king of grass and power in your own territory?"
Ben Hebrew's words may be exaggerated, but they are a wake-up call for these big and small city lords.
Because the characteristics of the Legion of the Eternal Night are not far from what the Hebrews of Ban Hebrew say, they have more or less heard of the policies carried out by the Legion of the Eternal Night, and dare not say that there is an absolute conflict with their interests, but it is also absolutely inconsistent, at least they will not protect their own interests.
"Lord Hebrew, where did you mean when you said before, occupying the place that must be defended and fighting with the Legion of the Eternal Night?"
After a period of whispering, the tone of some small city lords had obviously changed, and although they did not explicitly support Ben Hebrew, in their words, they had begun to shift towards him.
"March City, the March City of the Three Caves Alliance, the reason why the Eternal Night Legion rejected my request for peace, in addition to the essential contradictions in policy, more importantly, the Eternal Night Legion is located in the ancient river channel of Jacob, the strategic depth is too thin, and it takes a fancy to the treasure land of the Three Caves Alliance and wants to take it for itself, and the Three Caves Alliance has March City as the core. β
"If we don't take March City, even if the Eternal Night Legion occupies the entire Three Caves Alliance, they don't dare to settle in on a large scale, the geographical advantage of March City, everyone here should be clear, we can use this place to force the Eternal Night Legion to fight head-on, once the forces are gathered, they will not be able to play tricks in coordination. β
Ben Hebrew talked eloquently, with a look of wisdom beads in his hands.
"It seems to make some sense!"
"It turns out that they are fighting this idea, which is too cunning and shameless. β
"The best way to fight the Legion of the Eternal Night is to make their plans unsuccessful. β
"I agree with Lord Ben Hebrew, let's fight with them, let them taste our strength, and don't dare to fight our ideas easily in the future!"
"Childish, stupid, whimsical!"
In a chorus, the mockery with a low tone can be as harsh as it is, especially when the group ridicule is turned on.
"What do you mean, Gegild?"
"Gegild, make it clear, who do you say are naΓ―ve, who are you stupid?"
"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't hide it. β
The one who turned on the group mockery mode was Gegild, who had previously questioned Ben Hebrew, and was now besieged by the group.
Gegild didn't take it to heart at all, and the mockery on his face remained undiminished.
"Your Excellency Ben Hebrew, after talking for a long time, you still came to ask for help! I thought there was some more profound suggestion! Before you go along with it, you should first use your brains to think about it, since the Eternal Night Legion is determined to win the Three Caves Alliance, will it be so easy for you to go to support? Aren't you afraid that this is the Eternal Night Legion's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain? As soon as you left, they immediately entered your house, did you advance or retreat?"
"This ...... This ......"
The big and small city lords who had just agreed with Ben Hebrew looked at each other, and there was no way to refute them for a while.
They had just been completely fooled by Ben Hebrew, and they were stunned, forgetting that the Eternal Night Legion still had a large army, and they were pressed on the opposite side, if they dared to move, whether the decisive battle with the Eternal Night Legion could be fought or not, their lair was lost first.
"This matter should be considered in the long run, and it should be cautious. β
"We can't afford to lose too little. β
"This matter needs to be reconsidered, reconsidered!"
Many people's words suddenly changed again, and began to become ambiguous, as if the previous lofty ambitions did not come from their mouths, what to give the Eternal Night Legion a little color, what they are a whole, should advance and retreat together, in the face of their own personal interests, these can be left behind. 8)
