"Chapter 39: The Situation Is Out of Control"

Everyone has his way, and every path is right. The misfortune of people is that they do not want to go their own way, they always want to go the way of others.

– Thomas Bernhard (Austria's most controversial writer)

Luke, who witnessed Adrien's assassination of Montgomery, was naturally shocked and furious, but unfortunately, Montgomery's personal guards did not give him a chance to explain, and the ghost of the battlefield under the pseudonym Lujie had no intention of saving him.

The angry leader guards and the veterans of the Wind Thieves rushed up, and Luke, who was not strong, was killed on the spot by several guards before he even had time to react, but it was the nimble Luke who escaped back to the Luke group standing at the front of the crowd.

"Brothers, the people of their Wind Thieves have not forgiven us at all, they want to take the opportunity to kill me and Brother Luke, and then liquidate our group;

The people of Luke's group, who were completely ignorant of the truth, immediately grabbed the sticks and long sticks in their hands in excitement after Lu Jie's instigation, and rushed towards the leaders and guards who had just killed Luke, and the veterans of the Wind Thieves Regiment.

The people of the Luke Clan, who did not have swords and weapons in their hands, could not inflict any substantial killing on the elite warriors around Montgomery, but there were also a large number of new recruits of the Swift Thieves who killed the leader's personal guard and the veterans of the Swift Thieves Regiment.

The new soldiers of the Swift Wind Thieves Regiment have generally joined the Swift Thieves Regiment for about a month, and they have a very little sense of identity with the Swift Thieves Regiment, and Montgomery, the leader, has a low status in their hearts.

Seeing his father killed, Luke's eldest son, in grief and indignation, led less than 50 New Army soldiers to Montgomery with less than 50 people around him.

Most of the soldiers of the new army who joined the battle were helping Montgomery, after all, Montgomery was the master of the Tempest base, and only the soldiers from Luke's group and the few soldiers who sympathized with them chose to help little Luke take revenge.

In the light of this trend, with Montgomery with elite fighters in hand and the support of the vast majority of the officers and men of the Forces nouvelles present, it should not be difficult to exterminate the insurrectionists, who numbered only three or four thousand, but the uniform of the Forces nouvelles became a key factor in the re-escalation of the conflict.

The chieftain's guards who were numb to the point of slaughter and the veterans who came one after another could not distinguish which of the new soldiers were enemies and which were allies; in this way, they would inevitably kill some of their allies by mistake and be conspired against by some enemies.

The chaotic situation gradually spread to those refugee groups who were not involved, and occasionally some red-eyed veterans accidentally killed people from other refugee groups, and the refugee groups that were attacked for no reason immediately fought back.

As more and more refugee groups joined the Luke group to deal with them against the veterans of the Wind Bandits, the participation of their relatives in the war and the repeated wrongful killing of their comrades-in-arms directly led to the complete defection of the soldiers of the New Army to the side of the Luke group.

The elite soldiers of the Swift Thieves Regiment, whose total strength had increased to 4,000, were gradually losing control of the battle situation, and the siege of countless refugees and tens of thousands of soldiers of the New Army made Montgomery's scalp tingle, not to mention the soldiers who fought bravely below.

As a last resort, Montgomery ordered Paresi and Caswall, the bravest of the generals, to mobilize more elite soldiers on the city walls to quell the rebellion.

At this time, there were still 6,000 elite soldiers of the Swift Thieves who did not participate in the battle, and similarly, there were about 30,000 soldiers of the New Army who did not enter the battle, and the veterans who reinforced Montgomery had just walked to the city wall when they encountered the new soldiers who were planning to join the battle.

The conflict and fighting that was originally confined to a certain area within the base quickly spread to the entire Tempest base, and the 40,000 new soldiers and 10,000 elite soldiers of the Tempest Thieves Regiment have become mortal enemies fighting each other, and the number of refugees involved has reached 100,000!

The chaotic situation is beyond human control, and Montgomery, who clenched his fists, knows that he is caught up in the calculations of others, but has no ability to stop the battle, and this feeling of powerlessness from the heart makes his inner anger indescribable.

"Poof......

"Chief!"

Montgomery, who was furious, finally couldn't hold back the depression in his chest, and after a mouthful of blood spurted out, looking at the generals who were all over in a panic, Montgomery's heart felt a little better.

"Now that the situation is out of control, we can only do our best to obey God's fate. Montgomery, who looked melancholy, turned his head and ordered: "Auchinleck, Cunningham, Slim, the three of you find a way to gather three thousand soldiers and retreat to the warehouse area. ”

"No!"

"Mountbatten, you and I will lead fifty guards and five hundred soldiers to retreat to the chief's mansion, this battle will not end in a short time, we can only sit and wait for dawn to see if we can find a way to clean up the mess. ”

"No!"

Under Montgomery's retreat strategy, the elite soldiers of the Swift Wind Thieves fought and retreated, and the number of soldiers who actually retreated to the warehouse area and the chief's mansion exceeded 5,000, and few of the more than 4,000 soldiers who remained survived until dawn.

The night of bloody fighting did not stop until dawn gradually approached, and after the sleepless night of fighting at the Tempest Base, which had been in order the day before, all that was left was the devastation and corpses of the raging war.

In one night, more than 4,800 of the 10,000 elite soldiers of the Swift Wind Thieves Regiment were killed, more than 10,000 of the 40,000 soldiers of the New Army were killed, and more than 50,000 refugees who did not even have weapons were killed!

This does not include the incalculable wounded, if all of them are added together, this conflict of the Wind Thieves Group directly caused nearly 100,000 casualties, and everyone understands that after this chaos, the Wind Thieves Group has completely lost the strength and qualification to resist Bai Feng.

When Hakufeng learned from Adrien about the night-long chaos in the Wind Base in the morning, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and in his opinion, the chaos provoked by the Nets had disqualified the Wind Thieves from bargaining with him.

As for how Montgomery will clean up the mess in the Tempest Base this morning, that's not something Bai Feng needs to think about, all he needs to do now is to lead his army to the Tempest Base and force the Tempest Thieves to surrender to him!

After the great loss of strength, the Wind Thieves Group is of limited value in Bai Feng's opinion, and what really makes Bai Feng value is to make some appropriate transactions with Prince William through the Wind Thieves Group;

If the strength of the bettor is insufficient, then the result of the two-headed bet must be thankless at both ends, but the strength of Bai Feng and the Bai family is strong enough, then the result of the two-headed bet can be left and right, and obtain more benefits and benefits for Bai Feng and the Bai family.

Furthermore, if the Bai family just wants to gain status and benefits within the empire as a courtier, then it is the best choice to choose a prince to fully support him, but everything that Bai Feng has in his hands determines that he cannot only be a courtier of the empire, this is the difference.
