Chapter 147: Control
"Haha, that's great," the druid laughed, too, "Looks like there's something else to be gained from it." ”
"I'll talk about those things later, the black soil is in my bag, I'll give it all to you now."
"Please, my lord, there are a few caves dug up for storage," Oak Leaf said, pointing to a passage to the right, and then turning to Beryl, "I'll leave the rest of the lesson to you, Beryl." ”
The pestering elf girl reluctantly pursed her mouth, and Unas had to coax her a few words, and finally sent her away.
"I didn't expect the master to have another identity," Unas seized the opportunity to be alone with the two on the way to the cave, "Our operation to collect soil happened to have discovered the target that you and Night Moon were tracking. ”
"Nightmoon told you?" The druid reacted immediately, and his voice couldn't help but rise, "You found the culprit?" ”
"No, but ......," Unas told him briefly about the beautiful spider.
After listening to the story, the druid was silent for a while and then shook his head and said, "What if it's just a coincidence?" There must be conclusive evidence that the purple-robed man is behind the raiding of the elves before I can issue an emergency summoning order, which is the most basic rule. ”
The implication of his words is that the evidence is not enough to be trusted, he is really old-fashioned, Unas has no intention of meddling in the affairs of the Night Elves, let the Night Moon convince him.
"I apologize to Silver Dawn on behalf of the Cenarion Council for concealing our true purpose for coming here, and I sincerely apologize to you personally, Lord Unas."
"No, Yeyue has already apologized, and I don't care."
As they spoke, the two came to an empty cave, and after unloading all the black soil into the edge of the cave according to Oak Leaf's instructions, Unas excused himself not to disturb their teaching, said goodbye to the druids and hurried out of the mushroom cave, and was bumping into the night moon who came back to inquire about information.
"It's likely that the crystal mine has leaked, and the mages of the monastery want a piece of the pie." The Night Elf stepped forward and whispered.
Unas had strictly ordered all those involved in the excavation of the crystal mine to keep it a secret for the time being, but there were too many people who knew about it, and it was difficult to keep any big mouth singing, and he didn't expect it to spread to the monastery so quickly, and there must be someone else's eyeliner in the stronghold.
"What are you going to do?"
"It's just a deal, don't worry, I'm in charge," Unas pointed to the hole, "Master Oak is inside, I see he's already in love with growing mushrooms, and it may take a bit of effort to convince him." ”
"You talked to him?"
Unas informed Nightmoon of the druid's exact words, and the elf frowned, "It seems necessary for him to see Rosebyne-Solaris with his own eyes and listen to the victim's own words, I think he will change his mind." ”
"I hope so."
The two broke up here, Yeyue had to go to the headache how to get the druid, and Unas had a headache how to send the people of the mage academy.
Back at the barracks, a few boys from the guards were waiting at the gate, and Raphael took the lead to greet him, "Your Excellency, you're finally back, and the mage is furious in the big tent." ”
There was a hint of panic in the young man's tone, and it was no wonder that ordinary people usually had a fear of a mysterious figure like Faye.
Unas took out a large bag of meat and threw it to him, and said nonchalantly, "Let's go back to my tent and make lunch, and let's try some crocodile meat together, and since the mage is angry, let him be angry." ”
His relaxed attitude put an end to the panic of the soldiers, and when they heard that there was meat to eat, they were even more excited, and the crowd cheered and happily gathered around the garrison and walked towards his lodgings.
Halfway through, I heard a shout behind me: "Stop! ”
Everyone looked back and saw a young man in a fuchsia robe standing not far away, his short red hair standing on end, his chest rising and falling violently showed his fierce emotions, and his eyes were staring at Unas as if he was spewing flames.
A soldier beside him whispered in Unas's ear, "He is the mage who must see the adult." ”
Unas turned around and said sharply: "Do you know what the crime is to make a loud noise to the Supreme Commander in the barracks?" ”
The purple-robed mage was-for-tat: "Ignoring a noble mage will not break any laws, but a reasonable person will not do that. ”
Unas sneered, "Considering that you are a 'noble' mage, the punishment of fifty lashes will be waived, and now I order you to get out of my barracks!" ”
The Mage Academy wants to get a share of the benefits of the Elemental Crystal Mine, and it should be the party who asks for help, but Duane sent such a domineering guy to negotiate, just to blackmail and see if he can bluff the new garrison, but unfortunately Unas doesn't eat this at all.
The young mage's lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word for a long time, he took out a document from his arms and threw it over, "You have no right to do this, Lord Terosos of the Silver Dawn has ordered that you must accept me... Condition. ”
Unas took the scroll and unfolded it to check, it was a letter, it did have the signature of Tyrosos, and the content was probably to ask him to talk to the representative of the Mage Academy about the crystal mine, but when he saw the last few words, Unas smiled, the one-eyed baron really took care of his own people.
He rolled up the letter and threw it back, "Is it true that Master Mage has recited too many incantations and is no longer illiterate?" Take a good look at the last line, Master Tairosos has given me full discretion to dispose of it. ”
He softened his tone slightly, "This is the end of our conversation, please go back and tell Dean Duane to be more sincere and don't play so many tricks." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for the other party to respond, turned around and waved his hand, beckoning the guards to continue walking back, and a roasted crocodile meat feast was waiting for them.
The mage gritted his teeth and stood in place, almost throwing a big fireball out of control on that lowly face several times, but reason finally prevailed, and the only one who suffered from the conflict was himself, and the young man swallowed the consequences of his stinky temper, and left the stronghold in a gloomy manner, and vowed never to come to this ghost place again.
Unas's toughness towards the mage won the hearts of the soldiers, especially the few who had been treated with mages and praised him loudly, but there were also those who feared that they would invite revenge.
Unas was not worried, Duane was not going to turn his face on this matter, and believed that another messenger would appear soon.
After having lunch with the soldiers in a carnival-like atmosphere, the herald sent the news that Pereira and Fire Leaf asked to see the garrison, and the leaders of the blood elves must have received the news at this time, for them, the elemental crystal mine is the lifeblood, and it is unacceptable for human mages to want to participate.
Unas immediately went to the big tent to receive the two blood elves, they seemed to have just returned from the mine, Pereira panted and said, "We heard the news of the return of the adults, so we hurried back, congratulations on the return of the adults." ”
Their real purpose was probably to persuade Unas to refuse the request of the Mage Academy, but they didn't expect him to take the initiative to drive the other party away, and it was difficult to make a request for a while.
Unas said empathetically, "Rest assured, the amount of Fire Elemental Crystal Ore will only be used elsewhere after it fully satisfies the needs of all of your demon addictions. ”
"Thank you, sir." The two elves thanked each other in unison.
Unas changed his words, "But in the end, I can't refuse the Mage Academy, so increasing the amount of mining is the fundamental solution to the problem, and enough fire crystals can meet everyone's needs." ”
"We know that, too," Pereira snapped, "please hurry up and get a group of dwarven miners to help us, for that narrow gap in the mountain alone will not help." ”
"In a week, the first level of the mushroom cave will be completed, and I have decided to send the dwarves to mine by then, but until then, I want to redraw the boundary with the spiders and push the redstone monument forward by five kilometers, also for safety, the location of the crystal mine is too close to the current boundary line."
Unas's words made the two elves bittersweet, and Pereira almost screamed: "Five kilometers? It's impossible! ”
"No, everything is possible, I need you to prepare for battle, especially your mages, the elemental crystals mined these days should be able to restore some of your mages to combat effectiveness, elven mages have been praised by humans for thousands of years, I believe that their power will not disappoint everyone."
"We plan to use the crystals collected earlier on the old, weak, sick and disabled first, they are the ones who need them the most......"
Unas interrupted her and said solemnly: "It's a state of war now, improving combat effectiveness is the first priority, the others wait first, I'm going to launch an offensive in three days, I hope that there will be a small mage regiment to provide us with firepower to bombard." ”
The two blood elves looked at the guard's determined gaze, knowing that he was not joking, and they were a little unable to come back to their senses, and the fire leaves silently chanted "crazy, must be crazy", trying to dissuade but couldn't make a sound, Pereira was also silent, until the two were invited out of the big tent and still couldn't believe it was true.
It's been a long time since the stronghold has taken the initiative to start a war with the spider, and the long passive defense has made everyone think that the spider is invincible, and Unas wants to break this, and in three days, Rose Byrne and the Overlord Spider should be able to recover, and then it's time for them to show their skills.
Unas gave the order to prepare the army for battle, and the stronghold immediately churned, and the officers who came to persuade him were also in waves, but he was completely unmoved, and when everyone understood his determination, there was only one way left to obey the order.
The war is at the doorstep, and there is no need to prepare any transportation lines, most of the dwarves can't move, and those who should dig holes still have to be dug, and they can't delay the progress of the mushroom cause, so that humans and elves are a little thin as the main force of attack.
Unas thought of filling the void with captives, orcs, trolls and gnolls could be at the front as cannon fodder, anyway, they would not feel distressed to die as much as they wanted, and they could also save food, ogres and kobolds could be used as second-tier cannon fodder, and there were only fifty ogres in the stronghold, but these giants with infinite strength and thick skin were the best chargers.
The only question is whether to equip the captives with weapons, give it for fear of riots, and if you don't give it, you don't have any combat power, Unas has a headache about this, and using the means of the Fear Demon King to control them is a way, but with such a large-scale use of evil energy, he asked himself that he must not be able to withstand the pollution, in case he is transformed into a demon, it will be over.
He remembered the seventeen orc warriors, the orc laborers were the only ones who obeyed, and perhaps controlling them was equivalent to controlling all the orcs, which was a more cost-effective way.
As soon as he thought of it, Unas went straight to the prisoner of war camp, first got a gnolf as a sacrifice, and then casually found an excuse to interrogate the orc warrior alone.
The guards didn't dare to ask why the garrison had brought a gnollet to interrogate the orcs, and the commander insisted on doing so, but they couldn't help it.
Unas had the experience of the last sacrifice, and he was familiar with it, and those incantations blurted out as if they were imprinted in his mind, without the guidance of the Dreaded Demon King, and half an hour later, all seventeen orc warriors had become spiritual slaves with the word "Wu" carved on their necks.
After taking care of the orcs, there is still a remnant of evil energy, and they are simply swept away at once, and Unas has targeted the other captives, trolls, gnolls, ogres, and kobolds are not as finely divided as the orc clans, they all have only one or two leaders, and the suppression of their subordinates is not as strict as that of the orcs, and Unas has also changed their surnames to Wu.
At this time, almost all the alien captives in the stronghold were controlled in his hands, and the price that Unas paid was that his entire left arm was pierced by evil energy, and the skin of his left hand seemed to have deteriorated a little, and it was developing towards the demon's keratinized skin.
He used the Holy Energy to wash his left arm over and over again, and secretly resolved that he would not be able to use the evil energy again no matter what, although the Shadow Demon had grown a lot, it would take a long time to completely devour the influence of this evil energy.
After doing all this, Unas announced that he had successfully negotiated with all the captives, and he ordered the armory to be opened, armed the captives, and personally instructed them to learn the human military tactics in order to better cooperate with the Silver Dawn.
Many people were stunned by the Garrison Officer's successive faint orders, and they thought that there would definitely be a riot, but in fact, these murderous aliens seemed to have become good grandsons, and after getting their weapons, they all obediently participated in military training, and only three trolls tried to escape, and were immediately chopped to pieces by the executioner Paladin himself.
At this point, people no longer doubted the ability of the new garrison officer, and even began to fear him, and those who were interested would find that the captives could not be subdued by simple "negotiations", but in this general mobilization before the war, no one dared to ask the executioner those questions.
Unas also knew that his methods were a bit crude, and it was easy to surmise that he had used unclean means to control the captives if anyone had tracked them down.
But in the face of the desire for victory, these are nothing, as long as the victory can be achieved, all the stains will be washed away, people will only remember his heroic legend and forget the doubts, and even take the initiative to defend him, condemn the people who tracked him down, the so-called history is written by the victors, that's what happened.
