Chapter 222: Fusion
The Kingsley family army gave up a steady defensive position, took the initiative to attack, and held many talks with Philip, Patlem and the supporters behind them, I don't know how much benefit was paid as a price, reached an alliance agreement, jointly sent troops, and worked together to completely crush the main force of the slave rebel army.
With the encirclement of the three sides, the space for the slave rebels to maneuver became smaller and smaller, and before being completely surrounded, Dicron decisively launched a final battle.
The two sides fought in the valley.
The slave rebels attacked.
The Kingsley family army is in charge.
The encircling forces of Philip and Patalem were still a hundred kilometers away.
One side is fighting for its own survival, and if there is no way to break through, they will follow the tragic path of countless ancestors.
One side is fighting for its own home and money, and using a lot of money to boost morale is the usual method of the Kingsley family, and it is indeed useful.
One is in a hurry, and the other is strict.
Blood flowed from both sides, and every inch of the entire valley was stained red with blood.
Dicron also proved to the world once again his military talent, he was not only good at guerrilla warfare, he was also not bad.
Kingsley's army, which was waiting for him, was almost crushed by him, but he was still defeated, defeated by his own people, defeated by Kingsley's powerful money offensive.
Some people in the slave rebel army were heavily bribed by the Kingsley family, and at a critical moment, they stabbed Dicron in the back, causing the collective breakout to fall short, not to mention that Dicron himself was seriously injured.
In desperation, Dicron could only let the slave rebel army be reduced into fragments and turned into countless squads, overwhelmingly pouring towards the Carthusian army, and it is unknown how many of them survived.
The thousands of people led by Dicron have become a thorn in the side of the Kingsley family, and they are clenching on.
But without the restraint of the large army, the elite troops led by Dicron were as slippery as loaches, striking east and west, and the guide hitting the north, making people unable to figure out his direction at all.
The most important thing is that those slave rebels who successfully broke through were grateful to Dicron and claimed to be Dicron to the outside world, and for a while, countless Dicron appeared in the entire Carthusian army, and it was difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.
Although the slave rebel army led by the Manyu army was destroyed, and the miners led by the Carthusian army were ready to move, what may be lacking now is an opportunity to make a comeback.
The rout of the slave rebel army did not have as much impact on the Eternal Night Army as imagined.
Let's start with the issue of natural barriers.
Two days after the defeat of the slave rebels, Philip and Patlem had already opened fire locally, and hurriedly retreated to the Manyu army to seize the territory vacated by the slave rebels.
Not to mention the Eternal Night Army, the twin cities of the Eternal Night Army have basically taken shape.
Although the appearance of the Twin Cities is weird, there is absolutely nothing to say about the defensive ability, and if you want to break through, there are no 108,000 people, so you don't want to think about it at all.
When the rights of the Manyu army leader are separated, the spring thunder plan of the Eternal Night Group Army is estimated to have been launched, and when the attack and defense change hands, no matter who sits in the position of the Grand Duke of the Manyu Army, they must act according to the face of the Eternal Night Group Army.
This is a purely strategic level of overloading.
Then there is the dumping of waste materials.
The wealth looted by the slave rebel army in the past few years has been almost squeezed by the Eternal Night Group Army, and if the other party does not move, I am afraid that it will change from friendly trade relations to evil neighbors and come and rob it directly.
What's more, even if the slave rebel army was disbanded, the two sides were still able to maintain close contact and continue the previous pattern.
The Eternal Night Army needs a channel for dumping and consuming supplies, and the Slave Rebel Army needs a channel for supplying and selling stolen goods.
Since its establishment, the Eternal Night Group Army has continued to move and expand, and finally ushered in a relatively stable year.
In the face of the food crisis, the Walled City Alliance and Ben Hebrew have not been able to make any tricks, and the residents of Four Waters City are continuing to diverge.
In particular, the old Ban Hebrew Three-Hole Alliance, which was dismantled in pieces, was moved to other villages of the Eternal Night Army as a family unit, and its precautions against them were no worse than those mountain Kentana barbarians, but one was on the surface and the other was secret.
Without the support of the people, Ben Hebrew would be a tiger without claws and wings, and a snow eagle without wings, unable to make waves.
The population of Sishui City is shrinking at a rate that is visible to the naked eye, and although the total population is still 30% higher than in normal times, its decline is inevitable.
This can be seen from the policy of the Eternal Night Army towards this place, although the Eternal Night Army has taken over the military defense here, it has no intention of taking over the government affairs at all, and is still managed by Ban Hebrew.
This made the old fox somewhat unable to understand Sean's thoughts, and he came to the door several times to say that he wanted to resign from the position of the city lord of Four Waters City, but he was politely refused.
I can only continue to serve in this position, trembling and performing my duties, and actively cooperating with any requirements of the Eternal Night Group Army.
There are only two actions of the Eternal Night Army in the Four Water Cities, one is the continuous diversion of personnel, and the other is the establishment of a shipyard.
Not a petty shipyard, but a shipyard in the truest sense of the word.
In the Andes Mountains, all those who know a little about shipbuilding have been collected by the Eternal Night Army, and it is difficult to estimate how many there are, but the laborers hired by the Eternal Night Army from Sishui City every day to cut down trees in the mountains are counted, with a total of nearly 20,000 people, and hundreds of giant trees are transported from the mountains every day.
This is definitely not the right thing to do with two fishing boats, it's simply about building a fleet.
But the question is, who is the enemy?
Among the Andes, there was no longer a force to compete with, including the mountain Kentana barbarians of the eastern mountains.
Are they ready to build a fleet and dominate the Andes Inland Lake?
Although Ben Hebrew hadn't met Sean a few times, he was impressed by the maturity and stability of the other party who did not match his age, and he would never do that kind of meaningless thing.
It wasn't until Ben Hebrew heard the rumors that the Eternal Night Army was preparing to re-flow the Jacob River, and everything suddenly became clear.
The first reaction of others when they heard the news was to question whether the Eternal Night Army had such a ability, but Ben Hebrew did not, because he had witnessed the Eternal Night Army turn two ice walls as soft as cheese.
In the face of such non-human beings, all the impossible will become possible.
If you bring this premise in, it all makes sense.
Whether it is the shipyard that the Eternal Night Army is vigorously building, or the attitude towards the Four Waters City.
Needless to say, if the Eternal Night Group Army and others use the information they have in advance to prepare means of victory, once the Jacob River is re-flowed, it will be ten or eight years for the longest, and three or five years for the shortest, and the water arteries that stretch for thousands of miles will be under their control, and they will come and go freely, and when the time comes, the Eternal Night Group Army will fight wherever it wants.
Although Ben Hebrew was a learned and intelligent man, the relatively narrow knowledge inheritance system of this world still limited his perspective, and he did not see the chain reaction brought about by the re-flow of the Jacob River.
At that time, it will not be a matter of dominating a river, not to mention the desperate swamp in the south, not to mention that the existing ecological environment of Andes Crater will be broken, but only that most of the water in Andes Inland Lake will be released, and then the giant lake will become a basin again.
At that time, the imperial capital of the ancient Andes Empire was able to make millions of people self-sufficient with the output here.
The level of the lake has fallen, and Sishui City, a water city with half of the floating on Andes's inland lake, must be wasted, and it is not even qualified to become a mountain city.
It is a city destined to be abandoned.
It is not surprising that the Eternal Night Group Army has adopted its current attitude.
The more he saw from the Eternal Night Army, the more frightened Ben Hebrew became.
Think about it, if it weren't for this invasion of the mountain Kentana barbarians, how would Four Water City face the Eternal Night Army's Jacob River reflow plan?
The other party doesn't need to do anything at all, it just needs to proceed step by step, and then the Walled City Alliance will collapse without a fight.
This is a pressure on the strategic level, and there is no solution at all.
Let's put it this way.
Two forces are two different seeds.
The Eternal Night Army is an oak seed, and the Walled City Alliance is a shrub at best.
The former is in a state of just germination, and the latter has grown to the limit, at best, it is comparable to the other party's growth, and when it enters the growth period, there is only a part that is crushed.
What's more, the potential that the Eternal Night Army is showing now is not an oak seed, it is simply a legendary tree of life seed.
No wonder the ancestors never came forward from beginning to end, perhaps because they saw the possibility of this.
If he forcibly obstructs the development of the Eternal Night Army, he may die without knowing how.
The movements that had been made by the black powder of the Eternal Night Group Army shocked Ben Hebrew, who had lost some confidence, and now he was even more thoughtful, and even stopped making small moves in private, including some back doors left for his son Bran.
Because of these small sections, they can hide from the Eternal Night Group Army, but they definitely can't hide from their ancestors.
Rather than this, it is better to leave a clean foundation for Branne, so that he can please the ancestors more, and maybe one day, he will be able to be summoned and sent by the ancestors.
In the eyes of Ben Hebrew, although the Eternal Night Army has unlimited potential, it is the ancestors who have been shrouded in the Andes Mountains for many years who can really influence the situation in the Andes Mountains.
The Eternal Night Army can develop, it is because it has been acquiesced by the ancestors, don't look at the Eternal Night Army is now in full swing, if the ancestors are unhappy and cough, it won't be long before the Eternal Night Army will fall apart.
Ben Hebrew strongly believes this.
And his son Bran's ability is not bad, what he lacks is only sharpening, and I believe that it won't take long to be able to integrate into the core of the Eternal Night Army.
Now Brann has successfully entered the Military Staff Department, the core department of the Eternal Night Army, just like Sean said at the beginning, at best, it provides him with an additional opportunity to be assessed, and whether he can join it or not depends entirely on Bran's personal ability.
In fact, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the assessment that Brann faced at that time should be the most rigorous assessment of the military staff.
Brann passed with a relatively perfect score.
After all, he is a secret-level warlock who has received a complete elite family education, and even if he is placed in the Eternal Night Army, it is still the top existence.
Even out of a thirst for talent, and out of the appeasement of Ben Hebrew, Brann did not suffer any more trouble.
The inclusion of Brann in the Military Staff was the result of Ben Hebrew's careful study of the structure of the Eternal Night Army.
Although the Eternal Night Army is not self-reliant, it is also the most typical pyramid model.
Standing at the top, there is no doubt that it is the general of the Eternal Night Army, Sean Don Augustine, although this young man has always been inconspicuous, but he is the absolute core of the Eternal Night Army.
There is no feeling in it, in the eyes of Ben Hebrew, an outsider, the Eternal Night Army has been branded by this young man from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, and consciously or unconsciously, it will reveal his own style of acting.
This is a terrible thing, and the Hebrews of Ben have lived so long to see anything like it in the Holy Land of St. Ann, the Holy Land of the Holy See of the Aether, which is a pattern of faith and domination combined.
But there is an essential difference between the two, the belief of the Eternal Night Army is not Sean personally, but the same philosophy and belief, Sean is only a direct advocate and leader, even without Sean, this concept and belief will develop and spread on its own.
Of course, it's not that Sean isn't important, on the contrary, Sean's role in the Eternal Night Army is irreplaceable, at least for now.
This kind of idea and belief is just in its infancy, and it is still unknown in which direction it will develop and what it will become.
Led by Sean as the dominant and without him, are two very different concepts.
Under the Eternal Night Army, it is more appropriate to say that it is not so much the deputy generals as the departments led by the deputy generals.
At present, it has come to the fore, and what Ben Hebrew can investigate are the Military Staff directly under Sean's command, the Military Inspectorate led by Chad, the Hawkeye Secret Service under the charge of Ralph, and the Financial Administration Yuan that Marshall is forming.
They represent the military, legal, intelligence, and financial personnel of the Eternal Night Army.
In the beginning, Ben Hebrew did not understand this independent and decentralized way of power, and it was crazy to do so in an age when royal power was supreme and all power should be vested in the king.
But as the Eternal Night Army continues to grow, the more you think about this policy, the more interesting it becomes.
These rights seem to be divided, but in fact, this is just a thread to be released, and the real matchmaker is the supreme ruler Sean.
Take the military as an example, although the military force led by the deputy general McGee directly controls the larger corps, not to mention that there is a military staff headquarters above, just the grain and grass, without the cooperation of the Finance and Administration Yuan, they will not even be able to go out for 100 kilometers.
And every move of various departments is carried out under the close watchful eye of the Military Supervision Yuan, not to mention the shadow-like Hawkeye Secret Service.
This kind of structural system, when the power is small, does not feel particularly felt, but as it continues to grow, various advantages are revealed.
There is not much difference between the Eternal Night Army's control of hundreds of thousands of people now and when it controlled tens of thousands of people at the beginning, and the orders issued by the higher authorities are still efficient and terrifying, which is something that Ban Hebrew did not dare to imagine before this.
What if there were millions, if not tens of millions, of the people under the rule of the Eternal Night Army? What kind of terrifying energy would erupt?
At that time, the Hebrews could not have imagined it.
