In fact, Sean was very conservative from the beginning, after all, it involved magical power and energy radiation, and had to be treated with caution.

This unknown force is capable of influencing beasts, and naturally has a high chance of affecting humans.

I used to be lucky, but now the situation is the worst.

Strategic retreat is the wisest choice, and it is extremely stupid to fight against the unknown without completely digesting the information in your hands.

Anyway, now the beast legion that poses the greatest threat to the Andis mountain people has been wiped out, and there is no rush to investigate the root cause of this incident.

Thankfully, the impact of unknown high-frequency signals on humans is far less obvious than that on birds and animals, and by the time they exited the Grand Canyon for thirty kilometers, the symptoms on those soldiers basically began to subside, and by forty kilometers, they were no longer felt at all.

For the sake of insurance, the Eternal Night Group Army still took the Grand Canyon as the center, with a radius of 50 kilometers as a forbidden area, and set up checkpoints on the surrounding roads, first, to prevent mountain people from entering it by mistake, and second, to monitor the movement of surrounding wild beasts to prevent similar tragedies from happening.

Those soldiers who appeared abnormal were also sent to the medical research base for isolation and observation as soon as possible, even with the mutant beasts that used the biggest harvest this time.

The medical research base has set up a special department, the Institute of Biological Anomaly, to follow up on this matter.

Because whether it is Sean or Ms. Elena, Yang or Darnell, it feels that this matter is not over, this is just the beginning.

Sure enough, less than a week later, a new beast attack on the mountain people occurred, with symptoms very similar to those of the beasts of the Odin Grand Canyon.

However, the place where the beast attack occurred this time was more than 300 kilometers away from the Odin Grand Canyon, which basically ruled out the possibility of the beast of the Odin Grand Canyon flowing past.

According to the summary after the fact, the distribution of beasts in the Odin Grand Canyon is very regular, and before the Third Corps gets close enough, they encounter small groups of beasts, and the aggression is far less intense, and it is the Third Corps that takes the initiative to find them.

Until after entering the twenty kilometers, clashes between the two sides increased sharply.

When the Third Corps approached the Odin Canyon, the beasts gathered and formed legions to launch a desperate attack on the Third Corps.

By all indications, this is more like a form of self-preservation.

But this way of self-protection is too incredible.

If this is artificial, I really can't imagine who in this world has such a unique ability.

If it is not man-made, this kind of thing with a clear purpose is not like a purely natural event.

However, compared to the large-scale beast legions in the Grand Canyon of Odin, most of the beast attacks and beast mutations that appeared in other places were individual cases, and even if they were connected in series, there was no pattern at all.

However, this kind of individual incident is the most troublesome, because there is no way to predict the time and place of the next occurrence, and it is naturally impossible to talk about prevention.

The time was long, and the people were terrified, which was extremely detrimental to the thriving Eternal Night Army.

The measures taken by the Eternal Night Army were relatively positive, not only setting up a special research institute for biological anomalies to find the root cause of biological anomalies, but also specially recruiting excellent old hunters like Carter, setting up a mountain patrol and escort team, and building outposts and supply depots in dangerous locations and key roads.

Their main task is to deal with the attack of wild beasts, even if they cannot prevent it, they must find out those fierce beasts that attack people as soon as possible, these beasts that have tasted human flesh and blood, like mad dogs that have eaten people, will lose their fear of humans, and the threat index will rise sharply.

The second is to maintain the trade routes, ensure the safety of the horse team and porters, and form a more stable trade route, through which the mountain people who are still huddled in the depths of the mountains form a kind of bond, and ensure that when they are willing to go out of the mountains, the Eternal Night Army of Jacob Military State is their first choice.

As the occurrence of wild beasts became more frequent, many mountain people, who were originally as stubborn as rocks, began to waver.

The reason why they are reluctant to leave their villages is that they do not trust the Eternal Night Army to bring them a better life.

The homeland is difficult to leave, and only a small part of it is a small part.

The most important thing is their fear of the unknown, although life in the mountains is difficult, as long as they can barely sustain it, they are not willing to move lightly.

After all, they are different from the mountain people who have been in turmoil on both sides of the ancient Jacob River, and they have not seen the changes in their lives caused by the large amount of arable land.

Not anymore, the mountains are becoming more and more dangerous.

When life is threatened, the persistence and fear of the past are naturally forgotten.

If this situation continues, it won't be long before the Eternal Night Army will usher in a population explosion.

The Eternal Night Army has been actively preparing for this and is trying to satisfy its new citizens as much as possible, as they will be an important cornerstone for the vigorous development of the Eternal Night Army.

In just half a year, Andes Mountain has become so strange that it seems that everything has become wrong, not only the beasts, but also the humans themselves.

The soldiers of the Third Corps who were quarantined returned to their jobs one after another, and after a long period of observation, they did not show symptoms of mutation, and their thinking was only affected by high-frequency signals at the beginning.

However, the Eternal Night Army has poured out a group of Spell Awakeners, numbering as many as twenty-three.

Of course, this has a certain relationship with the development and growth of the Eternal Night Group Army and the increase in the population base.

But if this kind of gathering is not related to the abnormal events of the beast, he will not believe in killing Sean.

It seems that there is an invisible hand in the sky above the entire Andes Mountain, which is changing everything here in an orderly manner.

That's right.

Judging from the situation reported back by Hawkeye, this anomaly is only limited to Andes Crater, not to mention other military leaders, even the nearby Manyu military leader has not sent any similar information, and several forces are fighting wits and courage.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the past six months, Dicron has been the brightest star of the Manyu Army, not to mention the use of various tactics, not to mention the fact that in the tempering of blood and fire again and again, the slave rebel army is completing the transformation from a rabble to an elite division.

Dicron and a group of rabble, all of them were able to play Philip and Patrium together, let alone lead the elite division, even if the two sides joined forces, they were very embarrassed to be oppressed, and they could only stick to their own turf, and there was no way to launch an effective counterattack.

However, the extremes of things must be opposed, and the extremes of prosperity must decline.

As the Slave Rebel Army reached its peak in power and prestige, its own problems began to be exposed.

Their background is too low, not only lack military combat experience, but also lack low-level management experience, there is no way to mobilize all the people like the Eternal Night Group Army to carry out active large-scale construction, and can only make small troubles and quickly sow and reap quickly, but for a group with 200,000 people, it is a drop in the bucket and a big hole.

But the problem is that this is not a long-term solution, after two years of conquering the city, the Manyu army has led the castles of the big and small cities, which have been plagued by them more than once or twice, and the wealth that can be looted has been almost plundered.

The lords and nobles, big and small, died and ran, the law and order completely collapsed, the ruffians and hooligans who did not produce were rampant, and the peasants at the lowest level had a more difficult life, either they also fled with exile, or they were forced to join the slave rebel army and become a rogue.

When the land is not cultivated, they have nothing to grab!

There is also an army of the Eternal Night, otherwise the slave rebel army would not have been able to hold out for a long time.

However, the Eternal Night Army is not a philanthropist, and will not support them for free, and needs them to exchange various resources for it.

The wealth of the looted lords and nobles is limited after all, if the slave rebel army can't open the situation for a long time, in another year and a half, the line of the Eternal Night Army will be broken, and at that time, they will really be exhausted.

However, most of the slave rebels were short-sighted people, and there were not many people who clearly realized this, and many people were carried away by their series of victories, especially those large and small leaders and generals, who dreamed of being knighted as marquis, ganging up one by one, marrying wives and having children,

It is rumored that there was a general who had a special habit in this area, and he was a groom thirteen times a year, and even when he was about to go to war, he behaved in a way and lived in luxury, which was no less than the lords and nobles they hated the most.

They rise up not because they have a high level of ideological consciousness, they don't agree with the system in front of them, but because they are oppressed, and when they get power, they will consciously or unconsciously become the kind of people they hate the most.

Including the other leader of the slave rebellion, General Starbuck, unlike a more pure person like Dicklon, he rolled up this slave rebellion with obvious interests.

Just when Dicron was desperately working in front, Starbuck kept making small moves in private, frequently contacting Philip and Patrium, and it turned out to be the idea of peace talks.

However, the purpose of his peace talks was not to kill people and set fires to be recruited, but to reach a secret agreement, and Philip and Patalem sat idly by and let them go to the Cartel Hills.

The idea of fighting is self-evident, the slave rebels go to plague the Kingsley family, and when the time comes, the Manyu military leader will naturally return to their arms.

If this proposal had been made six months ago, when Philip and Patrium were at the height of their military strength and ambition, Starbuck would have responded with a categorical rejection.

Although the relationship between the two warlords is not so close, they are in the same alliance, and if they do so, the reputation of the Manyu military leader will plummet, and they will be completely at odds with the Kingsleys.

At that time, both Philip and Patrium regarded the Manyu Army Leader and the Grand Duke of Feron as their own treasures, so they were naturally unwilling to pay such a big price.

But now that the slave rebel army has completely grown, although he knows that the other party has an Achilles' heel, as long as he is dragged for three or five years, the slave rebel army may be dragged down.

But the problem is that there are too many variables in three or five years.

Especially behind the slave rebel army, there is now an unknown Andes force Eternal Night Legion looming, if the two sides are desperate to join forces completely.

Philip and Patlem really don't have the confidence to carry it.

The most important thing is that the alliance between Philip and Patrium is also forced to be helpless, and they themselves are also in competition, if there is no common enemy of the slave rebels, they would have pinched each other a long time ago, and there is no trust at all.

One of the situations they are most afraid of is the slave rebel army, the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, chasing one of them to the death, and when the time comes, even if the slave rebel army is eliminated, their own side will lose troops and generals, and they will completely withdraw from the battle for the position of the Grand Duke of Faerun.

Over the past year, Dicklon's ability to win every battle like a god of war is certainly related to his extraordinary battlefield insight and ability to easily grasp the enemy's weak points, and it also contributes to the complex relationship between the two forces.

Dicron did not bite one force at a time, but as if he were eating two loaves of bread at the same time, one day he took a small bite on this one, the next day he took a hard bite on that one, and then he turned around and took another small bite on this one loaf of bread.

Because he found that when one of the forces suffered a loss, he went to attack the other side, and the support and reaction of this side was usually not very powerful, and there was an obvious suspicion of releasing water, as if he was using him as a gunman, wanting to use the hands of the slave rebel army to weaken the other party and achieve the purpose of balance.

Dicron was also very happy to make this gun, and after coming and going, the strength of both sides was weakened, not to mention, there was not much trust in the first place, and it was gone, and it returned to the original three-legged model.

Even with the Holy Aether Holy See and the Lancelot Royal Family as their backers, in a short period of time, they would not be able to organize the forces to fight back.

Because even Patrium has no way to tolerate the large-scale intervention of the Holy Aether Holy See, and Patlem is not a fool, if he really adopts this way to sit in the position of the Grand Duke of Ferron, he will become a puppet completely.

Now that Starbuck has come up with a plan to move the tide eastward, Philip and Patrium are naturally very interested.

As for the issue of face and offending the Kingsley family, where can he take care of it when the position of Grand Duke of Faeron is in jeopardy?

However, due to the last reserve of the aristocracy, whether it is Philip or Patlem's negotiations with Starbuck, they are secretive and ambiguous, and this is an attitude in itself.

Hearing the news, Dicron was furious, and returned to the station in a hurry, rushing at the generals who supported Starbuck and supported the peace talks.

In Dickron's eyes, the lords and nobles were synonymous with untrustworthiness, and it was better to believe in their promises than to believe that pigs would go up trees.

Even if they want to go south, they will completely cripple the rebels led by the Manyu army and ensure that they have a safe rear to carry out.

Most importantly, it was a betrayal for the low-level soldiers.

They are holding high the banner of rebellion, so they have the cohesion they have now, and if they go back on their word now, isn't it tantamount to digging their own corners and slapping themselves in the face?

Starbuck thinks that there is no problem with their decision-making, although they are a slave rebel army, but they don't have to make trouble with the whole world, some things can be resolved at the negotiation table, or solve it at the negotiation table, which will retain their vitality to the greatest extent.

After all, the Kingsley family has already deployed 100,000 soldiers on the border, even if there are a large number of slave soldiers in it, it is not so easy to get along with.

Because once they decide to go south, they will lose any room for manoeuvre, and there is no way to fight a sports war like they did against Philip and Patlem, but a real head-to-head showdown. 8)
