"Chapter Seventy-Three: Competitiveness and Competitiveness"
Never dwell on mediocrity, because that is a sin against life.
- Osho (Founder of Rajnesh Ashram)
The operation of 400 spies and 200 ninjas in the Luxi tribe has always been carried out by special intelligence officers who are responsible for relaying the details back to Rome City, and the only one who has been eyed by Bai Feng is Yoshikawa Naoki's team.
Yoshikawa Naoki, Natsukawa Heiko, Nishimura Jun, Yamashita Yoshiki, these people's performance is quite good, especially Yoshikawa Naoki, who served as the team leader, whether it was the decision-making or the decisiveness of the execution, it made Bai Feng feel bright.
Naoki Yoshikawa is definitely not the only ninja who can be a good squad leader, and Naoki Yoshikawa is not the only squad leader who can formulate a sneak plan and execute it perfectly, but Naoki Yoshikawa is the only one who can pull out an army on the territory of the Luxi tribe!
Although Naoki Yoshikawa's counter-plot is not a clever strategy no matter how you look at it, and even a small leader of a Lucy settlement can see it, but his counter-plot and the subsequent deception are still successful after all, isn't it?
No matter how clever the strategy is, it is nonsense if it does not succeed, and no matter how simple the layout is, as long as it succeeds, it is a strategy; Bai Feng never cares whether the strategy is clever or not, what he cares about is whether the executor has the ability to carry out the strategy.
There is no doubt that Naoki Yoshikawa performed very well in this regard, so much so that before the spy and the ninja retired, Naoki Yoshikawa's name was deliberately circled by Bai Feng and became his key training object in the future.
At this moment, the spies and ninjas of the shogunate palace system have turned the world upside down in the southern part of the Luxi tribe, but compared with the unlucky Eastern Alliance, the situation of the Luxi tribe is undoubtedly much better.
With Adrien commanding the battlefield ghost and Ivan commanding the shadow killer attacking the Eastern Alliance, how could the situation of the Eastern Alliance be better? What's more, there are still 60 Roman warships on the main stream of the Cangluo River, completely isolating the east and west banks of the Eastern Alliance.
After countless desperate breakthroughs to no avail, the Eastern Alliance, which had suffered heavy casualties, finally gave up this senseless brute force; except for the occasional night smuggling, the Eastern Alliance, which had almost no surface force to speak of, had no choice but to swallow its anger.
Of course, the reason why the Eastern Alliance chose to hold back for the time being, rather than continue to fight the blockade fleet of the city of Rome to the end, was partly because they did not want to consume their vital forces in vain, and partly because they had not yet reached the end of the mountain.
The population and army size of the eastern alliance are far inferior to those of the western bank, and the demand for grain and its own grain reserves are naturally less than those in the western bank region.
According to Bai Feng's speculation, the food that appeared out of thin air in the Eastern Alliance came from the Orc Empire east of the Sunset Mountains; if this speculation is true, then there will be no food shortage in the east bank of the Eastern Alliance, and sooner or later it will be the West Bank region that will have a food shortage problem.
According to Luquis's speculation, the food of the Eastern Alliance comes from the White Horse Kingdom north of the Luxi tribe, and if this speculation is true, then there will be no food problem in the west bank of the Eastern Alliance, and sooner or later it will be the east coast region that will have a food shortage problem.
In response to this situation, the battlefield ghosts and shadow killers who were responsible for destroying the grain stocks of the Eastern Alliance's settlements were divided into two by Bai Feng and sent to the two sides of the Eastern Alliance, among which the two commanders, Adrien and Ivan, were both sent by Bai Feng to the more important West Bank region.
The relationship between the Battlefield Ghost and the Shadow Slayer is far less harmonious than it seems, and the first caster to unlock the spell is much more low-key in this regard, and has never shown a strong competitive spirit.
This is actually related to the initial experience level of the special character itself, and the caster with an initial experience level of level 3 is a notch lower than the battlefield ghost and shadow killer with an initial experience level of 4.
Even in the Celestial Dragon Continent, swordsmen and knights who are one level higher than mages are often inferior to lower-level mages, but in the high-level city of Rome, low-level spellcasters just can't be compared to high-level battlefield ghosts and shadow killers.
In the minds of the special characters of the system, there is no concept that the caster has more strategic value as a spell group attack class, and for the special characters who believe in the supremacy of strength, whoever has a higher experience level is more qualified to surpass the other party!
The crux of the matter is that spellcasters, who know that their experience level is inferior to Battlefield Ghost and Shadow Slayer, have never participated in this kind of competition, while Battlefield Ghost and Shadow Slayer, who are equally powerful, have been engaged in various forms of open and covert battles over who is stronger.
To be sure, Bai Feng, as the governor of Rome, was in favor of this kind of battle with special people in the hierarchy, otherwise he would not have transferred Ivan to the Celestial Dragon Empire after bringing Adrien to the Celestial Dragon Empire.
Because in Bai Feng's view, it is beneficial for these two special characters to improve their own strength by maintaining a healthy competitive relationship between the two special characters with strong combat power under his command, so not only did he not stop it, but he would often create some opportunities for them to compete.
This time, it was also a competitive opportunity that Bai Feng deliberately created for the Battlefield Ghost and the Shadow Killer, and it was only a small unit of the Battlefield Ghost and the Shadow Killer that were sent to the eastern bank of the Eastern Alliance, and all of their real large forces remained in the western bank of the Eastern Alliance.
Adrian, who is in charge of commanding the battlefield ghosts, and Ivan, who is in charge of commanding the shadow killers, each took ten of the strongest battlefield ghosts and shadow killers under their command to form a team in person to carry out the destruction mission assigned to them by Bai Feng.
Among the battlefield ghosts and shadow killers who have performed countless various missions, there is never a shortage of elites who have successfully advanced to level 5, so the battlefield ghosts and shadow killers who follow Adrien and Ivan are absolute elites with an experience level of 5!
After Adrien and Ivan, who acted quickly, landed on the west bank of the Eastern Alliance with ten elites behind them, they coincidentally chose a very large tribe as the target of their joint attack.
This Eastern Alliance tribe, which was chosen by Adrien and Ivan, was originally only a medium-sized tribe affiliated with the Eastern Alliance, but later developed rapidly because it sided with the Eastern Alliance civil strife and was supported by a certain overlord tribe.
From a medium-sized tribe with a population of just over 30,000 warriors and less than 6,000 warriors a year ago, to a population of more than 70,000 warriors and more than 25,000 warriors today, the speed of development of this tribe can be described as incredible among ordinary barbarian tribes.
And the reason why Adrien and Ivan chose this tribe as the target of their attack is because this tribe is the largest tribe within a hundred miles of the western bank of the Eastern Alliance, close to the Cangluo River;
