Although after nearly two years of tempering of blood and fire, both soldiers and equipment are no longer the rabble of the past, but fighting the regular army head-on, except for Dicron and his descendants, from top to bottom, their hearts are beating drums.

After all, the victory of the slave rebel army in the past two years relied more on Dicklon's tactics, and the results of the confrontation with the regular army led by the Manyu army were usually not particularly good.

The root of the slave rebellion, which had been planted at the beginning, broke out at its peak.

Starbuck and Dicklon, regardless of their background or experience, determine their way of dealing with the world, and there is a world of difference.

In the beginning, when the slave rebels were in a precarious situation, they could suppress their individuality and work together to tide over the difficulties.

But when the external threat becomes smaller, with the high authority, their personality will not only be vividly displayed, but even amplified to some extent, after all, they can now influence a group of people.

"Starbuck, I don't really believe in the peace at the negotiating table, and I don't really believe in the assurances of Philip and Patlem, I prefer that this is a means of his control, a means of counterbalancing Dicklon. ”

"Dicklon's prestige doesn't need me to say more, we have repeatedly studied his battle examples, in all the conditions of substitution, I dare not say the best, at least everyone here, no one can do it, this is a rising star, his reputation has already spread throughout the Byron League with brilliant achievements, no one can underestimate his tactical talent because of his slave gladiator background. ”

"But all this, but not necessarily what Starbuck wants to see, in the past, we have analyzed Starbuck's character, this is a typical conspirator, the slave rebel army is just a tool for him to promote to a higher position, but he is ambitious and talented, and he did not use this double-edged sword from the beginning, far underestimating the contradiction between the slaves and slave owners of the Manyu Army, and also far underestimating Dickron's ability, and finally riding the tiger. ”

"In the past year, Dickron's strong rise has marginalized Starbuck so much that if it continues like this, it won't be long before the entire slave rebel army will only know about Dickron, the general of the Blood Storm, but not about him, Starbuck, and he must take corresponding measures before that. ”

"I think that in the coming period, the biggest enemy of the slave rebels is no longer on the outside, but on the inside, and if their leadership can unify their consciousness and ideas, they may be able to achieve more brilliant results, otherwise they will go from prosperity to decline, internal and external difficulties, and they will fall apart at any time, and I am pessimistic about this, so we need to be fully prepared for both. ”

"If the slave rebel army succeeds in moving south, let's just sit and watch, Philip and Partlem still have a civil war to fight, not only will they not have time to pay attention to us, but they may extend an olive branch to us and stabilize us temporarily. ”

"If the slave rebel army fails to move south and falls apart, we have something to do, should we pull them at the critical moment, or cut the biggest piece of cake from them?"

The analysis of Bull Erickson, the first military staff officer of the Military Staff of the Eternal Night Group Army, ushered in a round of warm applause.

It is now a regular military meeting of the Military Staff of the Eternal Night Army.

It has become a routine practice to use the information in hand to analyze the world and the surrounding events.

They have seen the dividends of thinking from a macro perspective, and if they get the timing right, they can reap a lot of benefits even in unrelated events.

This time, the slave rebel army broke out under the leadership of the Manyu army, and there were a lot of victims, but the Eternal Night Group Army ate a mouth full of oil, and others had to remember them, especially the slave rebel army.

Now the middle and low-level soldiers of the slave rebel army have a natural good impression of the Eternal Night Army, after all, whether it is their own equipment or food, a large part of it is produced by the Eternal Night Army, and they are full of yearning for the relative stability and rich life there.

Only those who have suffered from the scourge of war will understand the value of peace.

For the past two years, the slave rebels have been on the move, rarely stationed in the same place for more than three months, including when they were neighbors with the Eternal Night Army.

After a long time, it is inevitable that many people will have war-weariness in their hearts, especially those low-level soldiers.

The attachment of the farming people to the land has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and it is human nature to yearn for a stable and prosperous life compared to the upheaval and precarious life.

In addition, the slave rebel army set a precedent for exchanging materials from the hands of the Eternal Night Army from the beginning of the day, even if it was later discovered that this kind of trade had great drawbacks and was urgently stopped.

Even so, it still couldn't stop the slave rebel soldiers from fleeing to the Eternal Night Army.

In response to this, the top brass of the slave rebel army was furious and lodged a strong protest to the Eternal Night Army, demanding the repatriation of the smugglers.

Eating the meat in the mouth, how can the Eternal Night Army be willing to vomit, not to mention that this involves a diplomatic attitude.

The response of the Eternal Night Army is quite tough, since everything that enters their territory belongs to their people, and they are obliged to protect their safety, but for the sake of friendly relations between the two sides, the Eternal Night Army will give the slave rebels a certain amount of material compensation as appropriate.

Even if there is a great grievance in their hearts, the slave rebels can only pinch their noses and admit it, after all, they now rely on the Eternal Night Army, and if they lose this line, their lives will be several times sadter.

The only thing the slave rebels could do was to strengthen their own management and close this loophole by torture.

However, as long as it is next to the Eternal Night Army, there is no way to put an end to this kind of thing.

The attitude of the Eternal Night Army towards the slave rebels has always been neutral, neither hostile nor unconditionally supportive.

Any decision-making is based on self-interest, the pursuit of profit maximization, is the instinct of an interest group.

The same attitude was given to the defeat or failure of the slave rebellion.

There is also controversy within the Eternal Night Army.

Whether the slave rebel army is defeated or not will have both advantages and disadvantages for the army of the Eternal Night.

The advantage is that with the big target of the slave rebel army, the Eternal Night Army can calmly develop itself and increase its strength.

If it weren't for the turmoil they brought, the development of the Eternal Night Army would definitely not have gone so smoothly, struggling to survive in the gap between the Manyu Army and the Walled City Alliance, and the pace of development was definitely not as fast as it is now.

Even if it goes south, there is a positive side, and the compromise transaction mode can still be sustained now, as if the slave rebel army is disguised to scavenge for the wealth of the Eternal Night Army.

The only flaw is that the forces of the two sides are no longer directly bordered, and the transaction process will be a lot of trouble, and when the time comes, maybe you will have to use the power of Angie Bena to let the other party scrape a layer of skin for nothing.

If the slave rebels were defeated, the Eternal Night would also be able to profit from them, and their scattered soldiers would be a valuable asset.

In these years, the most precious thing is people, and only with enough manpower can we cultivate more land, open more workshops, and create more wealth.

For those lords who deprive their lords of their lives at every turn and brutally oppress them, the Eternal Night Army is the most despised, because it is the most incompetent performance.

At the end of the regular military meeting, there was still no accurate conclusion.

The main reason is that the current situation of the Manyu military leader is complicated, the interests are entangled, and they are changing rapidly, and they are talking about it here and formulating countermeasures, and tomorrow the situation will change abruptly, and the situation will be reversed, and their plans will become a pile of waste paper.

After all, a plan is a plan, and adjustments must be made according to the actual situation.

What's more, the Slave Rebel Army has just traded a large amount of grain and grass from the Eternal Night Army, which is enough to last for several months, plus its own output, it will not be a problem to last for a year and a half, no matter how fierce their high-level fighting is, as long as the low-level soldiers are not hungry, they will not collapse easily.

"General, general, the meeting is over. Marshall reminded in a low voice.

"Ahh Sean, who was wandering in the world, finally regained his mind.

"Understood. Marshall nodded and said, "The general has invested too much energy in the study of the anomaly recently, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to do it, so he will not have to attend the next routine military meeting in person, anyway, at such a meeting, no substantive decisions will be made, and I will have the minutes of the meeting sent to you at that time." ”

"There are some things that can save trouble, and there are some things that can't, and as the Supreme Commander, I have to lead by example, and next time, I will try to control my thoughts and not happen again. Sean replied with a serious face.

Some things can be done in charge, and some things cannot, such as some important documents and data reports, which he must personally annotate and watch, and those who can personally participate in the routine military meetings of the military staff must participate in them in person.

Because the former is the key to his understanding of the overall development of the Eternal Night Group Army, and the latter is to understand the thinking trends of the middle and high-level of the Eternal Night Group Army.

Only by firmly holding the two in their own hands will they keep the galloping chariot of the Eternal Night Army from deviating from the track.

Sean was really distracted just now, but it didn't mean that he didn't listen to the content of the normal meeting at all, on the contrary, not only the content of the meeting was all in his mind, as long as he wanted to, the expressions of the speakers at the meeting, and even the observers, were vividly in his mind.

As his own potential continues to be tapped and the power of magic continues to grow, Sean's will, perception and intelligence are also rising.

A person's IQ should be innate, and it should only be related to the degree of development and their own condition.

At least that's what Sean thought before he became a warlock.

This one doesn't work well on Warlocks at all.

As he grew older and his magic power grew, Sean's IQ also increased at a rate invisible to the naked eye.

Sean, who has lived two lives, feels this most deeply.

Because he was a little clever in his previous life, but he was still a certain degree away from the top of the people, at least Tsinghua University and Peking University, he had never entered.

From childhood to adulthood, let alone the school level, even the first in the class, rarely had a relationship with him.

But now, if he is given a chance to do it again, he has absolute confidence to take the first place, or tie for the first place, and the other party is also a warlock who has mastered the magic power to a certain extent.

Sean's memory and logical thinking ability have reached an astonishing level, if Sean's previous brain is compared to a 2G processing memory computer, then his current brain is 8G processing memory, and there is a discrete graphics card.

The speed at which information is processed per unit of time and the information that can be accommodated at the same time is not at all on the same level.

can make the current Sean's brain stuck, no, distracted, it shows how complicated the problem he just thought about is.

There's only one problem that can get Sean so engaged right now – the Beast Mutation Event.

For ordinary mountain people, the beast mutation event has passed, at least the mountain people under the jurisdiction of the Eternal Night Group Army, and occasionally there are mutated beasts, they will be killed or captured by the mountain patrol guards as soon as possible.

But for the Eternal Night Army, this is just the beginning.

Mutant beasts are still emerging, and according to the current aggregate statistics, the overall number is increasing in an incremental way.

The Institute of Biological Anomalies is also studying the causes of these beasts' abnormalities day and night, but with little success, because their current situation is like trying to study the growth principle of its mother body by studying the fruit, and the difficulty has increased exponentially.

But the problem is that they know where the root cause is, but they can't easily try.

Someone once proposed to use those death row prisoners to explore the situation in the Grand Canyon of Odin, but Sean vetoed it.

It's not just because there is a former Saint Aether Sword Leader in his territory, but also because whether as a person or as a force, he should have his own bottom line - respect for life, especially the life of the same kind.

When a force begins to disregard life, his style of action is bound to become crazy and extreme, as evidenced by the ancient Andis Empire.

The mutation of the beast makes Sean start to rethink a question - the nature of the power of magic.

In the past, Sean had tried to use the scientific knowledge he had learned in his previous life to explain the power of magic, and he barely found a human magnetic field, which could be explained.

However, as the power of its own magic continues to grow stronger, and the amount of data collected, this argument is a bit untenable, especially the beast mutation, which goes directly to the cellular gene level.

The magnetic field of the human body is far from reaching this level.

This formless and substantial, but real power, is far more profound than Sean imagined.

Everything has a cause.

The beast mutation can't appear for no reason, and Sean is more inclined to the speculation that there is a huge source of magical power and a high-frequency signal source in the Grand Canyon of Odin, and the two may exist separately or in one.

As for whether it is natural or artificial?

Why didn't it appear before, but now it suddenly pops up?

This issue is still being explored.

During this time, Sean flipped through all the books and documents of the Ancient Andis Empire that he could collect, and read them word by word.

Sean had an intuition that he couldn't put into words, and he always felt that this matter had something to do with the Ancient Andys Empire. 8)
