We know in our hearts that every life we have experienced is a confused life, and every survival that has ever been lived is a confused existence, or a life of destruction or perdition, a survival of destruction and perdition. There are no parents in the world, only criminals who give birth to new people.

– Thomas Bernhard (Austria's most controversial writer)

The leaders and military commanders of the seven new groups had the intention of surrendering to the Imperial forces besieging the base, but none of them were willing to take the first step, not because they did not believe in the promises of the Imperial forces, but because they had to consider the threat of the Wind Bandits.

At this time, the Wind Thieves Regiment still has 5,000 core elite soldiers with complete combat effectiveness, and the first group to surrender to the Imperial Army will inevitably be treated favorably by the Imperial Army, and at the same time, it may also be violently counterattacked by the descendants of the Wind Thieves Regiment.

There are always risks and opportunities, and the first person to eat crabs may enjoy a taste that has never been seen before, or they may pay the price with their own lives, which is a very difficult choice for refugees who have little experience.

Outside the southern wall of the Blast base, watching the three teams of Cretan archers of the Pro-Guard shoot round after round of persuasion arrows towards the Blast base, Leonardo, who followed Bai Feng, asked Bai Feng with curiosity:

"General, the troops of the Wind Thieves dare to send troops to attack the convoy of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, will they surrender on their own initiative?"

Bai Feng, who has been promoting veterans of the reuse wing, still admires Leonardo's diligence and inquisitiveness, and when he asked questions, Bai Feng answered his questions and said: "The elite of the Wind Thieves Regiment broke with the new army last night, and our goal is to persuade those new troops to surrender. ”

"Internal rupture?" Leonardo, who knew almost nothing about the latest situation of the Wind Thieves Group, said with a slightly stunned expression: "There is a food shortage crisis inside the Wind Thieves Group, and there are large armies outside the city, which should be more united, how can it be an internal rupture?"

Bai Feng, who smiled when he heard this, really wanted to tell Leonardo that all this was his masterpiece, but this was obviously inconsistent with the glorious image that Bai Feng had painstakingly created, and the existence of the net was not suitable for too many people to know.

"Leonardo, you only think of what seems to be the right thing to do, but you ignore the human nature that is more important than common sense, the new army of the Storm Thieves are all displaced refugees, and they have a low level of identification with the Wind Thieves, and they will not live and die with the Wind Thieves. ”

"General, do you mean that the new army of up to 40,000 members of the Wind Thieves Regiment is unwilling to continue to stay in the Wind Thieves Bandits, and for this reason, there is a conflict between them and the descendants of the Wind Thieves Bandits, and even a large-scale military conflict within the Wind Thieves Band?"

Although there was a hint of inquiry in Leonardo's tone, his face was serious and determined, and on the premise of not exposing the net, this explanation was indeed the closest to the truth, and it was also what Bai Feng wanted Leonardo to understand.

"I believe that within half an hour at most, the divided new army in the opposite base will respond to our persuasion to surrender!"

"So fast?!" Leonardo, who was shocked by Bai Feng's convincing judgment, looked at the confident look on Bai Feng's face, and exclaimed in surprise and did not raise any objections; as one of the veterans of the wing who had followed Bai Feng the longest, his belief in Bai Feng was firm.

While Bai Feng and Leonardo were talking about the New Army, the leaders and military commanders of the seven new groups in the base returned to their own groups, and Lu Jie couldn't control the affairs of the other groups, all he could do was to persuade little Luke to surrender first with him.

"Little Luke, you are the eldest son of the eldest brother and the commander of the eight thousand soldiers of our New Luke group, do you think we should take the initiative to surrender to the Imperial army outside the city, or should we be consistent with the other groups and do nothing for the time being. ”

In his capacity as Luke, he could have given an order directly to Luke Jr. to lead an army to protect the people of the New Luke community out of the city and surrender to the Imperial army, but instead of doing so, he solemnly asked Luke Jr. what he meant.

In his opinion, if there is no Lu Jie's strength, where will it be his turn to be the commander of the army at a young age, his two uncles are more qualified and capable than him.

"Uncle Lu Jie, you are the supreme leader of our entire New Luke group, and all of us in the New Luke group will obey your arrangement, no matter what your decision is, I will definitely lead eight thousand soldiers to fully support you!"

Little Luke's face did not have a trace of deception, which Lu Jie, whose eyes had been staring at him, could be sure; since Little Luke had already said so, Luke, who didn't want to waste any more time, went straight to the point:

"Little Luke, we all know that the Storm Thieves can't survive without food, we are all ordinary people in the Empire, and it was the orc rage that caused us to join the Wind Thieves, and I think it's time for us to return to stability. ”

"Uncle Lujie, you want to be the first to surrender to the Imperial army with us, don't you?"

"Isn't this bad?" Lu Jie, who did not deny it, said bluntly: "I believe that the Imperial Army will not deceive us, although the first group to surrender out of the city may be attacked by the Wind Bandits, we will also be taken very seriously by the Imperial Army. ”

Little Luke, who instantly understood the deep meaning of Lu Jie's words, immediately said with a resolute expression: "If we can exchange the bloody battle of our 8,000 soldiers for the peace and contentment of the villagers and elders of the group, we will fight until the last villager and elder withdraw from the wind base!"

"Little Luke, you have lived up to your father's expectations, and if he hadn't been killed by the Wind Thieves, he would have made you proud!"

Lu Jie, who felt that the timing was about the same, added another fire in the heart of the high-spirited little Luke, which was enough to make him fight to the end; sure enough, as soon as Lu Jie's words fell, little Luke's eyes became blood-red.

After Lu Jie and Luke Jr., the two top leaders of the New Luke group, reached a consensus, the entire New Luk group officially went into action, and Lu Jie commanded the people in the group to quickly move towards the south gate and prepare to evacuate the base.

Luke Jr., who was in charge of the 8,000 New Army soldiers, personally led his army to surround Montgomery's Chief's Mansion, so that if Montgomery wanted to send troops to intercept the withdrawal of the New Luke group, he had to defeat the 8,000 New Army soldiers blocking in front of them.

Standing on the balcony of the main building on the third floor of the Chief's Palace, Montgomery watched the people of the New Luke group move towards the south of the city, but did not take any measures to stop it, and the generals who took the initiative to ask for help several times did not get Montgomery's permission.

Mountbatten, who had also held back for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore, and finally came to Montgomery's side again at the instigation of other generals and asked, "Chief, are we really just sitting back and watching all the refugees and new troops in the base go out of the city and surrender to Baifeng?"

"You know what, Mountbatten, you're a smart and capable man, but your biggest flaw is that you have too little experience. Montgomery, who answered the question, sighed silently and said, "If you have ten years of growth, maybe you will be the most trusted general of Your Highness." ”

"Leader......" As soon as Mountbatten, who didn't know why, opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Montgomery, who shook his head slightly: "I know what you want to say, you go and tell Paresi to them, stop thinking about doing anything that hurts your strength, and get ready to negotiate with Bai Feng." ”
