Chapter 248: Chaos
The seven of them expressed their opinions and then proposed different methods, but unfortunately found that many methods could not be put into practice without revealing their identities.
The hometown is not ready to fully invade the Despair Swamp, more precisely, the current Despair Swamp is the most dangerous time, even the crocodile natives who are familiar with the local terrain do not dare to enter the unfamiliar environment casually, and they will become missing if they are not careful.
Not to mention the Eternal Night Commanders, who are unfamiliar with the complex environment, they are waiting for the best time to strike.
Until then, they try to hide their power and purpose in order to achieve surprise.
And during this period, it will be the hardest for their Hawkeye, and they can only rely on themselves.
After arguing for a long time, I finally returned to the starting point.
Leverage your strength, stir up the situation, and fish in troubled waters.
Once the general policy is set, it is enough for everyone to work towards the same goal.
These are not difficult to say, and it is not easy to say.
The complex power environment of Geqi City is their best opportunity, because it is not uncommon for a trivial matter to trigger a large-scale fight, and they only need to fan the flames in it, and it is not difficult to completely stimulate the existing contradictions and cause conflicts.
Six's death was a natural trigger.
His Hawkeye identity must be kept secret, but his cover identity has a lot to do, and he is one of the core members of the four major gangsters in Geqi City.
As for whether it contains Hawkeye's revenge for his brother, it is unknown.
Overnight, the gang that killed Six, no, Beard, the core member of the Bloody Hand Party, completely disappeared.
From top to bottom, the chickens and dogs were not left, and by the way, they also accidentally injured the core members of another big gang.
This core member, who had sheltered the destroyed gang at a critical moment, is now under the wrath.
How does this core member give up?
You have to encourage your own gang to get back on the field.
At the same time, the Liberal Party of the Miners' Union launched a preemptive attack on the Unionist Party, and they are not fools, how can they not understand that the moment when the United Party and the Kingsley family completely reach an intention to cooperate will also be the moment when they disappear, even if no one fanned the flames, they will take the initiative to act.
The Kingsley family envoy was assassinated, and although it failed, it shocked the envoy into a white hairy cold sweat.
This is also a lord who has always been arrogant, how to give up, contact all the forces that have shown goodwill to the Kingsley family, and track it down, and all the evidence points to the crocodile.
The Kingsley family envoy pressured the crocodiles to hand over the killer through all sides.
And the crocodile people with a cold and arrogant temperament, how can they bow their heads for sure.
The smell of Mars on both sides is getting stronger and stronger, and when a crocodile is tortured and murdered, the situation is completely out of control.
All the evidence points to the envoy, to the envoy, to all this.
Enraged, the crocodiles stormed into the envoy's residence, chopped it into a mashed meat, and fed it to the war crocodile.
The Kingsley family's plan to plot a coalition of criminals is interrupted.
At least for a short time, it will be a matter of months before the Kingsley family receives the news and sends a new envoy.
It's easy to cause chaos, but it's hard to get it out of control.
After so many years of development, Geqi City has formed its own set of rules.
When the chaos reaches a certain level, the elders, principals, and presidents who have retired will come forward to stop and redivide the interests.
After all, everyone has to make a living in this city, and if this city is destroyed, it will not benefit anyone.
It's a deformed rule, but it works well most of the time.
However, this time, with Hawkeye's group of people with a special purpose, such mediation is doomed to fail.
The means they take are direct and effective.
Whoever dares to mediate will be killed, and after four or five in a row, no one will want to show up.
The whole city of Geqi has become a giant hornet's nest, and it has been kicked hard, trying to pull out the people who break the rules and uproot them.
But after checking and checking, many of them were suspicious, but everyone refused to admit it, and no one carried this black cauldron.
It just makes the already chaotic situation even more chaotic.
It's not that there are no smart people who notice the abnormality of this chaos, but they can't do anything, the entire Geqi City is an active volcano full of power, which will erupt at any time, and if they stand up rashly, they will only be sprayed to pieces.
And smart people have always judged the situation and protected themselves, how could they do such a self-sacrificing thing.
When things get to this point, Hawkeye can play very little role in it, because in the end, it has become a kind of power reshuffle.
Not only Geqi City, but the whole incident even affected the entire League of Criminals.
This kind of power reshuffle is by no means something that can be completed in a day or two, and even if the new envoy of the Kingsley family is strong, he can only stare dryly in the face of such a situation.
Jumping into the mix would only drag the Kingsley family into the swamp of power struggle.
Grand Duke Barker's plan to use the League of Criminals as a bridgehead to enter the Swamp of Despair was basically shattered, and he received that his envoy was murdered, and the entire League of Criminals fell into chaos, which was half a month later.
The supreme ruler of the cartel, who was rarely happy, smashed the crystal wine glass that he had just bought into pieces, and roared angrily: "Chuander, this fool is not sorry to die, even if he doesn't die, I will personally kill his head, he has ruined my big thing." ”
Grand Duke Buck had no doubt about him at all, and blamed the envoy he had sent.
If you put aside Hawkeye's secret instigation, the whole thing did start with the assassination of the Kingsley family envoy and the overreaction.
Before he knew it, the Eternal Night Warlord had already engaged the Kingsley family in their first round.
The Eternal Night Army is victorious.
This is not just because of mental calculations or unintentionalities, but because of the pressure of the overall situation.
The Kingsley family's reaction was not timely, but compared to the Eternal Night Commander, who had been operating here for five or six years, they were still temporary, and once they were targeted, they would naturally be prone to stopping.
"It's a bunch of untrustworthy rebels, prisoners, their promises are not credible, even if they do win their allegiance, they can't give more trust, and now it's a bad thing to fall into chaos, and when the time comes, it won't pose a threat to our army, and it's very likely that it will collapse without a fight. ”
Qian Ning, the chief university scholar of the Kingsley family, who was dressed in a white robe, said disapprerovantly.
From the beginning, he disapproved of Grand Duke Barker's approach to the League of Criminals, and in his eyes, it was a group of unstable factors, and bringing them into his team would be far less helpful than the hidden dangers.
In the past, the Kingsley family connived at their existence, in addition to their own strength and environment, the main reason was that the temptation of interests was not big enough.
When the temptation is big enough, the Kingsley army will sweep away everything.
The temptation was big enough now that the Kingsley family was bound to move the army.
Since it is destined to be crushed by a large army, why use some small means that do not enter the stream?
"I hope so. Although Archduke Buck restrained his anger, he was still gloomy and watery, and it was clear that the situation was not as optimistic as he had imagined.
Not only the League of Criminals, but also Akmether's encirclement and suppression of the remnants of the slave rebels.
It's not that there is any reversal of the situation, although Dicron has a reputation, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, no troops in her hands, no logistics supplies.
No matter how powerful it is, it is also a powerful rogue, and when faced with the encirclement and suppression of the Kingsley family army dozens of times his own, he can only flee in embarrassment.
What's more, in terms of strategy and tactics, although General Akmeiser, the commander of the Kingsley family's army, did not show any amazing tactics, he could be called steady and steady, and he did not give them any opportunity at all.
Starbuck, the other leader of the slave rebels, was even more embarrassed than Dickron.
The fact that he abandoned the main force of the slave rebel army and fled into the wilderness has spread with the rout of the slave rebel army, and his reputation has completely stinked.
In a world where credibility is extremely important, a bad reputation means that you won't be welcomed wherever you go.
The lords and nobles regarded them as enemies, and the common people regarded them as thieves.
He has become a rootless duckweed in the true sense of the word, and although the grain and grass and soldiers can be replenished by looting, it is not a long-term solution, when the old members are almost killed in battle, and the new members who come in the coercion do not form a sense of identity with the team, it is time to fall apart.
Akmesser saw this point, surrounded on a large scale, encroached on a small area, and crushed Starbak's team alive, only then did he take advantage of the chaos to rush forward.
Starbuck is alive and dead.
However, most people believe that he is still alive, but he is hibernated incognito, waiting for the next chance to make a splash, after all, the humanoid monster of the champion knight is more tenacious than a cockroach, and it is not so easy to hang up.
What made Archduke Buck faintly worried was the commander of the cartel army he had personally appointed, Akmeiser, who ignored the hints in the secret letter he sent, and did not mean to change the rhythm in the slightest.
will be subject to the king's order outside.
Most of the masters know this truth, but it doesn't mean that they like it, especially for people like Buck who have a strong desire to control, it is even more unbearable.
It took a lot of perseverance for Buck to restrain the idea of changing generals on the spot, and sent out new secret letters one after another, this time no longer a simple hint, but half a suggestion and half an order, forcing Akmer to step up, and when the time is right, he can take some unconventional means.
Archduke Buck is even more prepared, and is drawing manpower to prepare another army.
Doing so is a great burden even for the Kingsley family, which is famous for its wealth.
After all, the 100,000-strong army in Akmerse's hands had already emptied most of the Kingsley family's mobile forces, and the defenders of some large mines could not be mobilized.
If you want to start another army, you need to start from scratch for a lot of things.
Manpower equipment, Grand Duke Buck is not too worried, this is their strength, just take out some strong mining slaves, plus some elite mixed formations.
What really gave him a headache was the grain and grass.
The princess regent seems to have sensed something, and has begun to shrink the Lancelot royal family's food delivery to the Kingsley family.
This is still not a tear in the face, once the Kingsley family officially marches into the Swamp of Despair, the Lancelot royal family will not sell them a grain of grain.
Just as the Princess Regent knew how desperate Archduke Buck was for a grain field.
Archduke Buck also knew how much the Lancelot royal family did not want to obtain grain land, after all, this was the main means by which the other party stuck his neck.
For this reason, Archduke Buck had already begun to prepare, not only contacting those nobles in the Plains of Asia Minor who were obedient to the regent princess and eating a large amount of food, but also sending people to the Huayu Plateau.
When the time comes for a real rupture, even if the transportation of grain from the Huayu Plateau is more expensive, it must be lucky.
In addition, Grand Duke Buck also ordered the entire army leader to actively prepare grain, open up wasteland and farm, and when the time comes, if he can solve part of it himself, he will solve part of it.
If you want to create a new army, the burden of food will be doubled and the burden will be heavier.
Whether it is cultivating grain from the wasteland or transporting grain from the Huayu Plateau, it belongs to the distant water and cannot quench the thirst of the near.
I have to find a way to endure the greedy oppression of those lords and nobles on the plains of Asia Minor.
These people who dare to carry out small actions behind the back of the princess regent are all ruthless people, and the price of food is terrible, often three or four times as black.
If you rashly increase the amount of purchases, it is possible to reach ten times the normal amount.
For the sake of a more long-term and grandiose plan in his heart, Grand Duke Buck also had to pinch his nose and admit it.
As long as they can take down the swamp of despair that is recovering, the Kingsley family will no longer have to endure the exploitation of these vampires.
However, the reorganization of the new army was not an overnight thing, and it was only a backup method, and the main hope was that the main army led by Akmesser was still there.
Grand Duke Buck stomped his feet in a hurry in the castle of the capital, and Akmesser was not in a hurry.
By the time the first secret letter arrived, Axmesser had a complete insight into Archduke Barker's mind.
The two grew up together since childhood, and they knew too well the ambitions of their half-brother, and a big pie fell from the sky, how could he turn a blind eye to it, how could he not be moved?
If you don't do what the other party wants, it's not impossible to remove yourself.
But many things are not achieved overnight, especially in the face of a military wizard like Dicklon, and there is no need to be careless.
It's only by going head-to-head with him that you know how tough this guy really is.
It can't be described as simply elusive.
Even if it is an absolute disadvantage, the other party can't help but give him a look.
It doesn't hurt the muscles and bones, but there must be heartache.
He finally set up the iron bucket array, and when he saw that he was about to wipe out the opponent, the other party tore a hole in his formation and jumped out, making all his previous efforts come to waste.
What's even more annoying is that now calling oneself Dicron has become a fashion, and any cat or dog dares to call himself Dicron descendant.
After tossing for a long time, I found that what I caught was just a small thief.
But when you think the other party is fake, the other party will give you a hard time.
