"Shut it down, do you really think of the lord as a fool?when did the lord ever meddle in such a thing?" Tagore squinted at his lieutenant and said, "You are a smart person, how can you be confused at such a time?" We are the front-line commanders, we only need to think about fighting the battle in front of us, and you don't have to worry about the rest, even if the lord has other considerations, wait until the lord's order comes down, don't speculate on it." ”

"The lesson of the general is that I was not thoughtful. The adjutant of the guards bowed his head and confessed.

It's not that you're not thinking about it, it's that you're thinking too much about it and thinking about things you shouldn't.

This sentence circled in Tagore's heart, but he did not spit it out after all.

Thousands of people, thousands of faces.

The Eternal Night Army led so many people, and it was impossible for it to be printed in one mold.

Especially with the formation of this large system, there will inevitably be people who have their own careful thoughts, sharpen their heads and drill up the camp.

This is inevitable for all forces.

Fortunately, from the very beginning, the Eternal Night Commander had the sharp blade of the Military Procuratorate hanging over everyone's heads, and at this time they showed their might.

There may not be a shortage of people who slap horses and see the wind and steer the rudder, but those who use unfair competition means to get to the top do not dare to say that there is nothing at all, but there are very few, and they must be weighed again and again before using them.

Once exposed, his previous efforts will all be in vain, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Although Tagore doesn't like this kind of person very much, but in this system, he has to endure one or two, after all, sometimes he needs to borrow the other party's sleek energy, in the army, some prevarication is always indispensable, and he is the most impatient to do this.

"Lord Lord, you are here, you can open your mouth and save those crocodile people outside! They are all our people, how can you do it?"

A crocodile elder dragged Sean is crying, which really made Sean stunned for a while, he didn't expect such a commotion on the city wall, and he would not have come to join in the excitement if he knew it.

But on second thought, this kind of thing is not a trivial matter, and if it is not handled well, it will cause a gap in the relationship between the two parties.

Sean's expression was solemn and said: "Elders, don't say that, it's not that we can't save us when we die, but we can't save it, elders, please come with me." ”

Sean led them up to an arrow tower, pointed to the Kingsley family's barracks and said: "You see, the Kingsley family's heavy cavalry has been assembled, just waiting for us to open the city gate, take the opportunity to cover up, if they rush into the city, the consequences don't need me to say more? Not only do these people outside have no chance of survival, but we also have to take in more soldiers, this is the most commonly used attack tactic in siege tactics, used to hit the heart of the defenders of the city, elders, don't fall for their tricks and mess up." ”

"It's not your people outside of the feelings. A crocodile elder couldn't help but say angrily.

"Even if the outside is replaced by the Eternal Night Army, we will give the same order. Sean said with a serious expression, "In this situation, we can only choose to focus on the overall situation, after all, we are shouldering the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians." ”

"You mean, for the sake of the safety of the majority, a small number of people can give up, and what if we, or the lord, are we in this situation in the future? to save or not to save?" said one of the crocodiles in a sharper tone.

"Elder Karl, you're being a bit of a pusher. ”

Without waiting for Sean to answer, another voice took the lead.

"Your Excellency the Great Elder. ”

"Ancestor. ”

The crowd saluted the man who had just spoken.

The one who appeared at the mouth of the arrow tower was none other than the chief elder of the crocodile clan, Nitya, not only him, but also the other three archelders of the crocodile clan, who also arrived together.

For the first time, Nitya's kind face showed an unconcealed anger and said, "Elder Karl, what are you doing? Why don't you obey General Tagore's orders and act on your own? What do you think of our agreement? ”

Karl, the elder of the crocodile clan who was the leader, obviously dropped his arrogance a lot, and muttered an explanation: "It's all our people outside, I can't give the order to shoot at all, they are all our people, I just want to help them, I just want to help them." ”

"Stupid. Nydia's face darkened, "I didn't expect you to be so stupid, how can you be a woman at such a time? If you destroy the defense plan of the entire brother port, you will become the sinners of the entire crocodile people, and you still have the face to question the lord here, from today onwards, you don't need to be here anymore, let us old guys." Take turns guarding. ”

"But......," Elder Karl was trying to say.

"There's nothing to do, so I apologize to my lord. Nitya didn't give him a chance to question at all, and said in an arrogant tone.

Nitya usually doesn't exert power, but once she does, she still has a lot of power.

The crocodile elder couldn't think of resisting for a while, so he obediently bowed his head to Sean and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, lord, I just made a mistake in my words......"

"It's okay, I can understand your feelings. Sean waved his hand and said with a look of understanding, "After all, everyone outside is your clan, but for the sake of the overall situation, some sacrifices are inevitable, we are not saviors, we can't save everyone, we can only choose to protect what we can." ”

Although he didn't want to agree with Sean's statement, in the situation in front of him, the elder could only nod his head and say yes, retreat to the side and sulk, and stop talking.

"Sorry, we're dragging our feet this time. Nitya apologized to Sean sincerely, "If it weren't for General Tagore's timely response, we would have been in a bitter battle again." ”

"It's always hard to accept this kind of tactics for the first time. "Since there are no losses, of course Sean will not hold on to this issue, after all, these crocodile elders do not belong to their soldiers at present, and there is no way to put the military law of the Eternal Night Army Leader on their bodies," When we faced this situation for the first time, many soldiers also forgot to release their arrows, and they were whipped by those officers, and they were shot with tears in their eyes. ”

"It's all to blame on this damn war. Nitya cursed viciously, and it was clear that she was not as calm as she appeared.

After a slight hesitation, Nitya said: "It is naturally impossible to open the city gate, but can you leave a way for them to live? Put some ropes from the city wall to go down, this should not have much impact, whether they can survive depends on their own luck." ”

It's in vain, they can't even cross that moat!

Sean opened his mouth, finally held back the sentence, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to do it, and if you can save one, you can save one." ”

"I've thanked the lord for them!" was as clever as Nitya who didn't know this, but she couldn't bear them to kill their own people like executioners, but they did nothing.

knows that doing this will have little effect, at least he can give an explanation to his conscience, even if he covers his ears and steals the bell.

Sean quickly approached Tagore and explained Nitya's request as it was, and finally added: "Everything should be done without hindering the defense of the city, and if it is not feasible, the general can just give up." ”

"It's harmless. Tagore moved his muscles and bones and grinned, "It just so happens that the idle bones of the brothers on the city wall are itchy, so it's not bad to let them move their muscles and bones." ”

Hearing that it was not such a ridiculous order to open the city gates, Tagore's heart was put back in his stomach, and what he was most afraid of was that Sean would not be able to withstand the pressure of the crocodiles.

At present, it seems that his lord is still as wise as ever, and will not interfere in this kind of matter.

Put a few ropes down, it doesn't matter, just fish, regardless of whether it is a crocodile or a Jinsley soldier who climbs up along the rope when the time comes.

If the former is okay, the latter is directly chopped with a knife.

Without the cooperation of a large number of large-scale siege equipment, even if they climbed the city wall, they would have no roots in duckweed, and they would die and live.

Although the rope was released, the Eternal Night Commander did not release it blindly, but sent a group of soldiers to shout at the head of the city.

"If you want to live, throw it into the sand bag and climb up along the rope, and you are not allowed to carry the sand bag into the moat, otherwise you will be killed. ”

The same command, kept repeated.

Although the moat of Brother Port is wide enough, especially if it is still in a state of flow, it is not so easy to fill in the road with negative soil.

But it was a minute to be able to drag it back for a minute, and if it was possible, they were not willing to let a sack of sand fall into the moat.

"What are they going to do?"

Beavis wasn't as ecstatic as most crocodiles, and he couldn't wait to throw away the sandbags and rush to the walls.

The first thing that came to mind was the question.

Some of them don't know what the defenders of Brother Port have to say.

If you really want to save people, how many can you save with just a few ropes thrown down from the city wall?

As the first wave of cannon fodder, their number is not much, but it is a lot less, even if it is because of the previous waves of arrow rain, the personnel are sparse a lot, but just looking at the black pressure of the head, there are not 10,000 but 8,000.

So many people are going to grab those ropes?

How many people were able to climb the city walls without any problems?

And the Kingsleys won't watch them do it.

Therefore, Bivis still decided to act steadily and follow the large army for the sake of stability, and even if there is a problem, there will be more people to share the danger.

Obviously, there are not a few people who have the same thoughts as him.

In the past few months, they have fully realized what it means to be sinister in the human heart.

Looking at anything, they can't help but start from the evil side, because this is one of the reasons why they have been able to survive until now, those innocent and hot-blooded, the corpses have long been cold.

Another reason why Bevis didn't act was that Coren didn't move.

Compared with ordinary crocodiles, Coren estimated that his mind was more complicated and he had more concerns, after all, he was now a human and a ghost, even if he successfully escaped the city wall, once what he did was exposed, the end would definitely not be better.

But the Kingsley family didn't care about driving them away like cannon fodder, but it made them clearly realize that even if they did so much, the other party still wouldn't treat them as human beings, and they continued to fight, and the result was still difficult to escape, and now they are trying to get out of trouble.

There are also a small number of crocodiles, ecstatic, like a drowning man grasping the last straw, when the ropes are thrown from the city, they don't think much about it, throw away the negative soil sacks, and run towards the wall of Brother Port.

I don't know if it's their delusion, but the rain of arrows has thinned out a lot, and most of it has fallen behind them.

Puff! Puff!

One by one, they couldn't care about the cold of the river after winter, and they didn't care about the war crocodiles wandering back and forth in the moat, so they plunged down and swam towards the city wall with all their might.

"My leg cramps, pull me, for the sake of my countrymen, pull me. ”

"Ah...... Get out of here, get out of here, damn brute, get out of here. ”

"Help me, help me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die......"

"Let go, let me go, you have to die yourself, don't drag me to die together. ”

The moat, which is not wide, has become a roadblock at this time, and many people have never climbed out after diving into it.

Either the hands and feet were cramped by the cold river water, or they were too weak to climb up, or they were reduced to food for the war crocodiles.

War crocodiles generally do not attack crocodiles, that is, when there is enough food.

In order to cultivate the ferocity of these war crocodiles, the Eternal Night Army Leader did not feed enough.

When the hungry war crocodiles saw that there was meat delivered to their doors, they didn't care whether the other party was a crocodile or not, even if it was, they would eat it as such.

At this moment, the selfishness of human nature is unintentional, everyone only cares about themselves, and is very stingy to lend a helping hand to those around them.

It's not just a matter of consuming excess physical strength and delaying time, but also increasing competitors in disguise, there are so many ropes, and the more people who climb ashore at that time, the more competitors there will be.

At this time, it is already considered benevolent if you don't do it.

Bivis, who was following behind, saw clearly that many people climbed ashore and not only did not lend a helping hand to those behind them, but kicked them back into the water.

At that moment, his heart was colder than his body, and when he looked at his companions around him, his eyes were full of vigilance.

In the purgatory-like slave life, human nature was distorted to the extreme, and at this moment he missed the chatter of the lame old man very much, which was the only shining point of human nature, but it was annihilated early by people like Cologne.

Beavis looked at Cologne's back, and the hatred in his eyes intensified.

"Hurry up and cross the river, hurry up and cross the river, no later there will be no chance. ”

"You can't get over it, but get out of the way, we're going to get by. ”

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, damn it, you want to die, no one is stopping you, get out!"

As the first batch of people who crossed the river rushed to the city wall, dragging the rope to climb the city wall, many crocodile people in the back finally couldn't bear it anymore.

This was one of the few opportunities they had to escape, and when the Kingsley family reacted, they wouldn't have a chance.

Many people began to flock in the direction of the city wall, pushing many people who were still hesitant by the moat directly into the water.

Both Colon and Beavis were among those who were pushed into the water.

"!"

Bivis couldn't help but curse, but swallowed a mouthful of icy moat water, and suddenly his body felt icy from the outside to the inside.

Now that the man was already in the water, it was certainly impossible for Bevis to climb back.

Let's not talk about the crowded people on the shore, whether you can climb back is a question, even if you can climb back, what's the point?

A repetition of the hellish life that came before?

Rushing forward, although there is little hope, at least there is a glimmer of hope.

Bivis used all his strength to swim forward, and in the process, he carefully avoided not only the hungry war crocodiles, but also the other crocodiles.

In his eyes, the other crocodiles were more dangerous than the hungry war crocodiles.

At least after those crocodiles fill their stomachs, their aggressiveness will be greatly reduced, and those crocodiles will do everything to reduce their competitors.

Bevis has no intention of harming others, but he has to prevent others from harming him.
