Chen Taiyuan and the others had already climbed the second mountain range, and according to their strong foot strength, they didn't feel tired. And on the two consecutive mountain ridges, there are a large number of rebel troops guarding.

These rebels were mainly to prevent sneak attacks, and in the past, sneak attacks were also small-scale, after all, it was difficult for the Divine Guard and the regular army to climb over the Snap Finger Gorge and the mountains. In particular, the second mountain ridge is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the name is also very vivid, called "Despair Ridge".

Thinking about the previous uprisings, if the Ancient God Sect wanted to attack this side, it would often lose most of it in the Finger Gap Blockade Battle, and then lose a small half in the Despair Ridge, so it was gone.

For this reason, the Ancient God Cult no longer bothered to attack this place in the future, resulting in this place also becoming a natural refuge for the rebels, as long as the uprising ran this way, as if it was customary.

Of course, in the years when there were no rebels, the Ancient God Cult also tried to seize this place, but they were all attacked by the Protoss. That is to say, when there is a rebel army, the Protoss is willing to hand over the responsibility of defense to the rebel army, and they only send deputy positions or military advisors to supervise it; once there is no rebel army, the Protoss itself will garrison the dangerous passes, and they will not let the Ancient God Cult take advantage of anything.

For this reason, the Ancient God Cult also hated them so much, and while cursing them as barbarians, they also called them-stirring sticks, lest the world would not be chaotic in the micro world. And the Protoss sneered at each other, laughing and asking if they were-stirring sticks, then who was the stirred?

The war of words lasted for thousands of years, in short, the Protoss was so maverick and stubborn for so long.

Now, Chen Taiyuan and the others are standing on the "Despair Ridge" that has made the Ancient God Sect desperate several times, and the headquarters of the rebel army is also arranged in a huge cave nearby.

Standing on the Despair Ridge and looking out, it is simply a cliff six or seven hundred meters high. There was only one main road that meandered up, but a single stone could kill hundreds of intruders if it rolled down.

If you look inside, you can see that the mountain stretches down gently, and there are even layers of terraced rice fields. Below, there is a vast plain, the size of several towns. Here the cooking smoke curls up, the people are densely populated, the fertile fields are patchy, the wooden houses are rowed, the children are chirping and playing, and the old people are lazily basking in the warmth, which is a beautiful scenery like a paradise.

Tang Qing said that this is a living area specially provided by the Protoss for the families of the rebels. There are three such living quarters, which correspond to the three main defense zones. There are more than 100,000 inhabitants in each living area, which is a large number, equivalent to a large township.

The area in front of me is in the middle, and the population is slightly larger, because this is where the headquarters of the rebel army is located. In addition to the families of the three armies, there were also families at the highest level of the command. As for the remaining two living quarters, they are all resettled by the families of the two armies.

"It also has the advantage of making the soldiers in the mountains fight harder to defend their homes. Tang Qing said, "The soldiers on the mountain will always realize that if they fail, are weak or negligent, they may let their families suffer from the poison of war." So they can only protect their homes if they work harder and be more careful. ”

The Great Elder didn't say anything, but Chen Taiyuan shook his head and sighed: "In terms of war command skills, this move is good, but logically speaking, this move is actually very inhumane. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to taking the lives of family members as hostages and forcing the soldiers on the mountains to keep fighting. ”

Tang Qing didn't speak, because this meaning can't be hidden from smart people, and it's useless for you to quibble.

And Chen Taiyuan said more bluntly: "There is another point - since all the uprisings have failed, what about the families of the rebels? The rebels may have been wiped out when they counterattacked the main city, but why didn't the families stay here?"

Tang Qing was even more speechless.

Obviously, this is only a temporary loan for the rebels to station, and it is impossible for the Protoss to provide them with permanent shelter. When the rebel army is strong enough, they always go to the main city to attack the ancient god cult, and in the end, the rebel army is completely wiped out, and its family members ...... Apparently driven away by the Protoss, right?

There are also those who are not driven away, but under the guidance of the Protoss, they continue to tap the war potential among their families, gather all the troops that can be gathered, and constantly fight against the Ancient God Cult. In the end, even these family members were consumed.

This is actually even more cruel, as if the Protoss only exists to fight.

However, the rebels could not fail to obey the orders of the Protoss, because they were subject to the Protoss.

Quite simply, it was impossible for the families of the rebels to survive hunting in the mountains, because they could not run on the mountain roads. Therefore, they can only make a living from planting in this valley where the wind and rain are good.

But when it comes to planting, the crops here have a strange characteristic, that is, the yield is not low every season, but it is impossible to keep the seeds!

No matter how well your crops grow, you won't be able to keep the seeds for the next year. Only the Protoss can receive a fixed amount of seeds every year through the blessings of the Old Gods, and distribute them to the families of the rebels.

And as a reward for the gifts of the Protoss and the ancient gods, to put it bluntly, it is more like collecting rent, and the families of the rebels have to extract some food to the Protoss after the harvest. It means that they planted the land of the Protoss and used the seeds of the Protoss, so they had to pay rent.

It's a good business, and it's no wonder that you support the rebels, because when they come, they not only help you fight, but also help you produce and work, so that you can enjoy the success. This is equivalent to getting hundreds of thousands of migrant workers for nothing, helping the Protoss to develop production. With hundreds of thousands of people supporting 10,000 people, if these 10,000 people have some other harvest, that small life will definitely be comfortable.

However, Tang Qing would not say these things, because the high priest and the three major families strictly forbade discussing these things, and Chen Taiyuan and they could only understand it after more contact.

……

When you arrive at the cave near the top of the mountain, there is a beautiful waterfall next to it, which is quite a bit of a water curtain cave. Tang Qing went to communicate with the main people inside, and made a comprehensive report on today's meeting with Chen Taiyuan and others. After about ten minutes, a group of people came out of the cave.

It is a group of high-level leaders of the rebel army, and none of them have low ranks, after all, they are the headquarters of the rebel army.

And among these high-ranking generals, the two people are the most eye-catching.

The first one is naturally Yu Jing, which can be seen from the physiognomy of the body. The figure is very standard, no less hot than Tang Qing, but the cold face makes people feel uncomfortable. The lips are a little thin and tight, and some people say that such a beauty has a little temper. Physiognomy may be nonsense, but it's true that this girl has a temper.

At this time, Yu Jing was wearing the clothes of the rebel army, of course, the model was tailor-made, at least the pants were one-third longer than the ordinary rebel army. Because of its tall figure, it is particularly eye-catching to wear. Of course, maybe this is Chen Taiyuan's vision, maybe the ordinary rebel army still thinks that the long legs of the deputy marshal are deformed.

On Yu Jing's full chest, there was a badge with swords and spears crossed and rice ears surrounded outside. This symbol is also on Tang Qing's black robe, representing the rank of deputy marshal, because the two ears of rice are not closed on them, only forming a large semicircle with an opening.

The badge of the real handsome, the two ears of rice are longer, and the tops of the ears are connected to form a closed loop. This badge, which symbolizes the supreme commander of the rebel army, is worn on the chest of a short-legged man next to Yu Jing.

And this handsome Skars is naturally one of the other eye-catching figures.

It's still the appearance of an ordinary micro-world person, but Skars looks like a more dignified and calm figure. Even if the racial aesthetics are completely different, Chen Taiyuan still feels that Skars is indeed outstanding and has some leadership temperament.

After seeing Chen Taiyuan and the others, Skars took out a handkerchief and covered it to his lips and coughed, his body seemed to be a little weak, perhaps due to overwork.

"Welcome, please take a seat inside. Skars expressed basic etiquette, and then waved his hand to signal that the general public would not have to follow into the command hall. So after entering the hall, there were eight people left on Chen Taiyuan's side, as well as Skas, Tang Qing and Yu Jing.

Very honest meeting, no one who doesn't matter.

However, it can be seen from this attitude that these high-level people do not regard Chen Taiyuan as an "immortal" or a "real person" at all. Acting less humble, perhaps just to ensure basic fairness in the negotiations.

Instead of being like along the way, all the ordinary rebels saluted respectfully when they saw Chen Taiyuan and others, and even bowed to the ground. At first, everyone was uncomfortable, but neither Chen Taiyuan nor Tang Qing stopped this kind of action. Just kidding, pretending to be a ghost is supposed to be a little bit like a ghost, which is also the capital of making trouble.

So much so that everyone just got used to the feeling of being a god, and when they arrived in the hall, they immediately became laymen again, and they were a little depressed.

There are three seats in the middle of the hall, all with low benches and high backs. Although Deputy Marshal Yu Jing and Chief Military Division Tang Qing both have long legs, they also have to sit on a low bench with them, in order to avoid racist remarks.

In the middle of the hall was a large map, or for fear of revealing combat intent, it had now been rolled up.

"Everyone, please sit down, the place is a little simple, and the conditions are limited. "Not only did Skars learn Mandarin, but he also spoke politely well, and it can only be said that the people here are really talented in language.

The eight on both sides are small benches, which naturally form a high and low level with the three seats in the middle opposite. So Chen Taiyuan didn't sit down, and went straight to the point with a smile: "Don't sit, and I'm not tired." I came here to discuss the cooperation with the marshal and the deputy marshal, presumably the chief military division has already announced this matter, I don't know what the two of them think. ”

"Sorry, I'm not too interested. Yu Jing said coldly, more straightforward than Chen Taiyuan.
