Chapter 353: Preliminary Agreement
"Whether it's human or natural, Klein doesn't seem to have any intention of attacking us at the moment. Grand Elder Bishop said with a look of luck.
Seeing the Crane people besieging the Dragonwreck Battleship from afar made them shudder, let alone fight these monsters.
While Sean was dissecting the mutant crocodile, the Klein clan's siege of the remnants of the Cummins family's Third Fleet had come to an end.
Under their siege like a human wave, the Dragonshire Battleship, which the Cummins family claimed had never been captured by people on the water, was completely lost.
By the end of the fight, most of the Cummins crew and sailors had a nervous breakdown and abandoned the ship.
Including the Supreme Commander of the Third Fleet, Stubbin, who obviously did not have the consciousness of martyrdom, and after finding that there was no way to save the Dragonroar, he decisively jumped onto the best-preserved battleship and fled.
The target of the Klein Clan's attack has always been clear, and that is the Dragonwreck Battleship.
After taking down the dragon wreck battleship, the attack power against the other three Cummins family battleships was obviously much weaker, giving the two relatively well-preserved battleships a chance to escape.
At the cost of the sinking of the badly damaged warship, the interception net laid by the Crane tribe in the water was smashed open.
There was no intention of continuing the pursuit of the two warships of the Cummins family who had escaped.
First of all, in the eyes of the Eternal Night Commander, the Dragonwreck Battleship is the real big fish, and it is also the reason why they are reluctant to bite the remnants of the Cummins family's fleet.
The two small fish that slipped through the net are no longer worth wasting so much manpower and material resources.
Second, they borrowed that it was a question of whether the Crane people would let it go.
Although the Klein people did not attack them, they also did not communicate with them, and looking at their current appearance, it is a question of whether they can communicate or not, at least ordinary Klein tribe soldiers have no way to communicate.
Their ability to speak and think has been seriously degraded, and they are soldiers in the true sense of the word, with only tasks in their eyes.
As for who exactly issued this task, it is not known for the time being.
"Not attacking now does not mean not attacking in the future, don't be so optimistic, they can't be measured by common sense now. "Sean isn't as optimistic as Grand Elder Bishop.
"Ladies and gentlemen, they are going to retreat, and if they don't attack, their booty will be dragged away. Tagore roared.
The Klein soldiers were now all gathered on the Dragonship, dragging it towards the tributary of their territory, regardless of whether it ran aground or not.
Not only Tagore was in a hurry, but many of the soldiers of the Eternal Night were in a hurry.
The horror of the dragon wreck battleship, they have experienced it firsthand.
Although it did not completely turn the tide on the water on its own, the Third Fleet of the Cummins family has been able to survive until now, relying entirely on it.
Without it, the Third Fleet's warships would have doubled, and they would have been wiped out in the mine arrays of the Eternal Night.
The more powerful it manifested, the more enthusiastic the Eternal Night Warlord became, from top to bottom, wanting to take it into his arms.
In the later stage, it can be said that it is inevitable.
They worked so hard that they finally ran out of energy, and the Klein tribe suddenly appeared and came to a cut of beard, how do they accept it?
Originally, he didn't dare to move because the soldiers of the Crane tribe behaved too strangely, like the living dead, lest they carry the plague virus.
For many people, death is not terrible, but it is a little scary to die slowly in the torment of unknown diseases.
Especially if a plague like the plague can bring devastating disasters to one's own family, it is even more terrifying.
When he heard that they were only mutated and not plague viruses, the gloomy atmosphere suddenly reversed, and one by one they sharpened their knives, preparing to snatch them back from the hands of the Crane tribe.
As long as it is not something that cannot be seen or touched like the plague virus, no matter how strong their individual strength is and how strong their self-recovery ability is, they will still be killed.
Moreover, the water combat ability shown by the Klein soldiers is very poor, and they were able to take down the dragon wreck battleship, completely relying on the number of piles, plus the fruits of victory under the leadership of Hu Yongye.
Not to mention that the dragon wreck battleship was at its peak, the remaining magic energy before was enough for them to launch a charge, and the obstacles on the water of the Crane tribe were useless and directly crushed.
The fleet led by the Eternal Night is now in a much better state than the remnants of the Third Fleet of the Cummins family, and there is no need to have reservations, once they meet, they will inevitably be in full swing.
When the time comes, let them know what modern warfare is.
"After all, Crane is a crocodile clan, and he is our clan, should we try to communicate again and see if we can resolve it peacefully?"
"I'm afraid that we are willing to communicate, but people may not be willing. Archelder Webber said pessimistically, "From their previous attitude towards our envoys, it can be seen that Archelder Crane has already broken with us, and do you see those soldiers as if they can communicate? I think it's more like a walking corpse." ”
"Their previous attacks were very purposeful and organized, which shows that they still retain a certain amount of wisdom, if not all of them, but some of them, and as long as they have wisdom, they will definitely be able to communicate. "Archelder Bishop's suggestion apparently did not come out of thin air, but was the result of careful observation.
"Assuming they're willing to communicate, what are you going to do with them?" Archelder Webb asked a more pointed question, "Can you accept being like this? Can the other people accept it? Can you guarantee that Klein won't make the others like this?"
"I ......" Grand Elder Bishop opened his mouth, unable to speak for a long time, and did not know how to answer.
After all, they are very limited about the current situation of the Crane tribe, and they don't know how many crocodiles have become like this, and they don't know what Crane really thinks, let alone protect him.
Grand Elder Bishop was worthy of the old fritter, and he was not discouraged and embarrassed, and said slightly: "I just said a possibility, not necessarily this way, but in my personal opinion, it is better to increase the investigation of the Klein tribe, and after finding out the situation, it is not too late to make a decision, otherwise we are very likely to make a wrong decision now." ”
I agree. Grand Elder Webber agreed, "The Klein tribe is not a small tribe, there are nearly 20,000 soldiers who can fight alone, and there are as many as 100,000 clansmen, you have seen the previous situation, they are not just soldiers, many women, children, old and young have also undergone mutations, and their combat effectiveness is not much worse than that of ordinary soldiers, if this kind of mutation is only a few, it is better to say, if the entire Klein tribe becomes like this, then we will face more than 100,000 troops who are not afraid of life and death." ”
"We have just gone through several rounds of fierce battles, the soldiers are tired, and it is not suitable to provoke new enemies and start a new battle, and the safest way now is to proceed according to the original plan, block the river, eat the Kingsley family first, and then find a way to deal with Klein. ”
"What Grand Elder Webber said is pertinent, after a series of fierce battles, many of the formations have been broken up, and what we need to do now is to stop fighting and repair, instead of continuing to fight and provoke new enemies, even if it is for the unique dragon skeleton battleship. Nitya, the first elder of the crocodile clan, also said, "And it is also a dragon wreck battleship whose energy has been exhausted, the strength of the dragon wreck battleship is in its magic energy, without magic energy, it is not much stronger than ordinary warships, so we should put it with Klein for a while, and then we will take it when we are relieved, what do you think, Lord Lord." ”
Several other crocodile elders nodded in agreement.
Obviously, the crocodile, on their part, does not advocate contact with the Crane tribe, nor does it advocate taking the initiative to go to war with them.
Not only is the Klein tribe part of the crocodile, they don't want to rush to fight their own people, but also because the Kingsley family is their henchmen.
Now they have only defeated the Third Fleet of their allies, the Cummins, and the Kingsley family still has nearly 200,000 troops in Brother Harbor.
If you recklessly start a war with the Klein tribe who don't know the depths, won't you drag yourself into the swamp?
Therefore, they would rather adopt a relatively prudent policy, as before, as long as the Crane tribe does not take the initiative to provoke them, they will ignore their anomalies for the time being, and honestly follow the original plan, block the Kingsley family's grain routes, completely drag them down, and lay the victory of the Swamp of Absolute Despair.
However, they also knew that the final choice to make depended mainly on the intention of the Eternal Night Commander, who wanted to completely block the Danube River and drag the Kingsley family's army to death on the east bank, and the fleet without the Eternal Night Army would not be able to complete this task.
Whether they want it or not, they must admit that the Eternal Night Commander is the absolute main force in the attack and defense of Brother Port and in the great counterattack on the water against the Third Fleet of the Cummins family.
Without the crocodiles, the Eternal Night Leader would still be able to do this, but his chances of success were much smaller.
Without the Eternal Night Commander, even if they gave the crocodile brother harbor and gave them a fleet, they would not have the confidence to hold on, let alone reverse the situation.
The fierce attack and defense of the Eternal Night Leader and the Kingsley family gave them a vivid military lesson, telling them clearly and straightforwardly that war is not as simple as competing forces.
Strategy and tactics, military morale, new methods, etc., will affect the final outcome of the battle.
Sean didn't give a direct reply, but turned his gaze to his generals.
The commander of the Third Army, Eriksson, spoke before Tagore: "It is really not suitable to continue the war at the moment, the fatigue of the soldiers is only one aspect, the main thing is that we are not well prepared, we have limited knowledge of the enemy's intelligence, and if we start a war rashly, we will only suffer a big loss, I agree with the strategic retreat, digest the gains of this war, and wait until we have collected complete intelligence, and then proceed to the next step." ”
"I also don't think it's time to go to war. Chief of Staff Kelman said.
"I think it's the first priority to recuperate and regain my fighting power. Brann, another chief of staff, seconded.
"I follow the final decision of the Military Staff. "First Army Commander McGee chose to abstain.
"Although our main warships have not sunk in battle, they have all been damaged to varying degrees, and it is not suitable to fight again, and they need to be repaired as soon as possible. Woody, the commander of the Angry Waves Navy, said.
After expressing his attitude, his eyes invariably fell on Tagore, the commander of the Second Army.
"What do you think I do?" said the straight-gun general with a depressed face, "You all suggest that you don't start fighting, can it be that I still run to the war alone?" I just said that I also obey the final decision of the military staff. ”
"The stakes are huge. It's not suitable to make a rash decision, I think we should start from both sides, the main force will be withdrawn to repair, leaving a partial army here to keep an eye on them, and at the same time dispatch elite professionals to carry out a comprehensive investigation of them. Sean looked around and said his final opinion.
The eyes of several crocodile elders met, and they nodded imperceptibly, and a certain agreement was reached inside.
Grand Elder Nitya said, "Lord Lord, in my opinion, we really can't let Klein continue to mess around like this, doing such a frenzied thing to his own people, what else can't he do? We must not only monitor their movements, but also find out the root cause of the matter as soon as possible, the extent of this incident, I would like to personally ask Klein, this old bastard, what exactly he wants to do? Is this how he protects his own people? Turn them into monsters that are not human and ghosts." ”
Sean said with a heavy expression: "The old ancestor had better be mentally prepared to face the worst situation, from the fact that Klein has strictly sealed the news from you, I feel a deep malice, you treat them as clansmen, it doesn't mean that he still treats you as clansmen, this abnormal magic transformation changes not only their bodies, but also their brain structure, I am afraid that they will be involuntary by then." ”
"I know that if this happens, I'm sure we'll make the right choice. Grand Elder Nitya replied with the same solemn expression.
The faces of several crocodile elders were not particularly good-looking.
The crocodile people have really suffered many disasters in recent years, and natural and man-made disasters have come one after another.
Between desperately moving and struggling, they finally saw a little light, but as a result, the crocodile people made such a thing within themselves, and they didn't give them any respite at all.
After the destruction of the Third Fleet of the Cummins family, not only those elders had a different kind of careful thinking, but even these great elders became very active.
It's not that they're ready to betray their allies, the Night, but the longer they work with them, the more they get to know them, the more pressure they put on their shoulders.
Whether it is from the military, politics, people's livelihood, organization...... Anyway, on all sides, the Eternal Night Commander has an absolute advantage.
In the past, they were comfortable with their current life, believing that everyone in the world should be in this way.
When you see a completely different way of life with your own eyes and have a comparison, you can't make a fool of yourself like you used to.
The way of life of the Eternal Night Leader is full of fatal temptation for ordinary crocodiles, especially young people.
Unconsciously, many people fell to the Eternal Night Commander, and many young people began to look at the ruling model of the Crocodile Elders' Council with questioning eyes.
Considered to be synonymous with backwardness and inefficiency, the crocodile people are in a predicament that is inseparable from this mode of domination.
If the crocodiles had been centralized from the beginning and had a more professional army, they would not have been reduced to relying on others to help them defend themselves against the invaders.
