Volume 8: War and Peace Chapter 57: Siege (5)

3.5 kilometers outside the city wall on the east side, a simple leveled meadow.

On a moonlit night, the president of the Tiger Union, Tiger came down the mountain and was sitting on a makeshift earthen seat, listening to the reports of several of his subordinates.

As the war progresses, the Angel's Covenant is no longer managed by all the players involved as it was at the beginning. Raphael and her think tank found that it was not only tiring, but also inefficient, and most importantly, easy to incur the displeasure of the smaller guilds.

Therefore, with the return of Prince Andrei from the Sacred City, after stabilizing the situation in the province of Rema, the Angel's Covenant divided the entire battlefield into thousands of small battlefields according to the degree of danger. Provincial capitals such as Aston City, or larger cities, are still managed by the Angel's Covenant, with some support from the Dreadnought Legion. For the other small and medium-sized cities, one or more unions will be responsible for recovering them, and the Angel's Covenant will no longer exercise any control over these unions except for a few overseers.

Correspondingly, after the reconquest of a certain city is completed, these unions also need to hand over a portion of the proceeds to the Angel Covenant.

Although they have to give away some of their own interests, for other unions, this result is already very favorable. Not to mention a city, even a town, can make these unions make a windfall, the Arnas Empire has been founded for more than a thousand years, and almost every town has accumulated a lot of wealth, so in the eyes of those unions, these large and small towns are treasures! Relying on these treasure troves, many trade unions have developed greatly in a short period of time.

The Moonlit Night Tiger Guild is a prime example of this, more than three months ago, the Tiger Descending was just a minor figure with little reputation, and almost no one knew who this human knight was. But today, more than three months later, the Moonlit Night Tiger Trade Union has grown to more than 4,000 members, with a scale of nearly 2 million gold coins at its disposal.

And all this is just because the Moonlit Night Tiger Guild has regained three small towns under his leadership!

This shows what kind of feast this counterinsurgency war has brought to players!

The growing guild gave the Tiger more confidence to descend the mountain, and he turned his eyes away from those towns to more difficult targets, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to send a large amount of gold and resources to the Angel's Covenant in exchange for the opportunity to conquer the city of Arella in front of him.

In addition, in order to further increase the power in his hands, he even spent a lot of gold coins to dig up the water boss, an excellent air combat officer, from the angel shield, and also found a few players who were proficient in air combat from other guilds with high salaries, and together with the union members in his hands, he pulled up an air combat team of up to twenty people.

"President, the Observation Group reports that the Air Combat Group has suppressed the air power of the rebels, and of the thirty-one griffins, seventeen have been confirmed to have been killed, and the remaining griffons have been recalled by the rebels. The warhawks have also been wiped out, and the remaining ones are estimated to be cleaned up in another two hours! An assistant in charge of sorting out the information said as he descended the mountain towards the tiger.

As the war progressed, more and more of the union's top brass realized the fact that they were not capable of maintaining their own strong individual power while ruling the overall situation. After all, a person's energy is limited, so many union leaders choose to set up a small think tank to help them deal with various affairs, so that they can free up more time to manage the union and kill monsters and escalate.

The same is true for the Tiger Descending Mountain, but because the Moonlit Night Tiger Guild has not had enough time to develop, there are very few people who can help him in this regard, so he can only select a few smarter members to help him deal with various intelligence on the battlefield. After all, for the current Moonlit Night Tiger, winning the war is the first priority!

"Excellent! What about the losses? After the previous three attacks on the town, the Tiger knew that if he could not master air supremacy, or at least make it impossible for the rebels to use air supremacy to suppress themselves, the difficulty of the attack would increase several times, causing a lot of additional losses. It was for this reason that he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to form an air combat regiment.

However, the high price of air combat equipment and the extremely high battle loss rate have kept the air combat regiment in a difficult stage of development.

"Except for Qian Mengmeng's group, the other groups have been dispatched at least three times." The assistant flipped through the notebook in his hand and said, "It's just ......."

"But what? Is there something wrong with Bai Qing again? The tiger asked.

I also feel very helpless about Bai Qing and the tiger going down the mountain! This guy is a veteran of the Moonlit Night Tiger Union, and has been a member of the union since the union was founded. And because he fought bravely, was not afraid of death, and often led the charge, he was famous among the old men of the union. After the formation of the air combat regiment, Bai Qing also signed up immediately, and showed a very good talent, and was once recognized as the air combat ace of the union.

But his shortcomings are also obvious. As a veteran member of the union, Pak Ching often uses this reason to bully other new members, and even force them to give up benefits to themselves, which makes many new members very dissatisfied. Especially in the Air Combat Regiment, due to his self-esteem, the relationship between Bai Qing and Boss Shui was very tense, and after Wei Ming joined, the atmosphere in the Air Combat Regiment became even more depressing.

All along, the Tiger Descending Mountain has a very tolerant attitude towards Bai Qing, and even tried his best to stop the complaints and complaints of those new members. Because he knew that once he revealed his reproach and exclusion of Bai Qing, the old members led by him would inevitably leave him under Bai Qing's instigation, and if he lost the basic plate of the old members, the entire Moon Night Tiger Union would not be far from falling apart!

In fact, the fundamental reason for all this is the lack of time for the development of trade unions. Just three months is not enough for the Tigers to come down the mountain to integrate these old members into a solid group, and at this stage, a capable player like Bai Qing is not worried that no one wants it, which fuels their arrogance.

On the one hand, it can make up for the huge expenditure some time ago and replenish the funds of the union, and on the other hand, it can also give him the confidence to suppress the old members of the Bai Qing through the exchange and binding of interests, and unite the entire union into a real group.

"Xiaoxiao Yanran died twice, the second death was because of the fall, which caused the Feiyan to be damaged, and the water boss said that it could not be repaired, I am afraid it can only be scrapped. President, this is the eighth set of Feiyan we have lost, and so far, among the lost Feiyan, the Pak Qing group alone has occupied a full six! ”

Compared with others, the assistant also hates Bai Qing more, because this guy often relies on his old qualifications and refuses to obey the command of the think tank, and only when the tiger comes down the mountain to speak, he will be a little more restrained.

"Lost another set?" Thinking of Feiyan's expensive price and the only procurement channel, the tiger felt distressed when he went down the mountain, "Is it a mistake to laugh?" How could it be a fall to death? ”

"According to Light Smile, it was Bai Qing's refusal to let her rest, which caused her to lose her physical strength, and she did not escape the attack of the griffin, and after breaking her arm, she fainted and finally fell to her death." Another assistant replied.

The tiger went down the mountain and rubbed his eyebrows, he didn't think that this was a quibble with a light smile, this girl was a good seedling he found from a new player, and she was a good player in air combat, if it weren't for her poor psychological quality, I'm afraid he would have let out a small smile and led a group himself. The water boss also thinks the same.

"What about a light smile? Resurrected? Let her come to me! The tiger went down the mountain and thought about it, but chose to talk to a light smile, and it was not suitable to use this reason to criticize Bai Qing at this stage.

The two assistants glanced at each other and invariably showed a wry smile: "President, I smiled and said that she was tired and went offline as soon as she was resurrected." ”

Obviously, Xiaoxiao is using this method to express her dissatisfaction!

The tiger went down the mountain and sighed: "It's okay! Let her rest well! Fortunately, the pressure in the air can almost be ignored. ”

"What about Bai Qing?"

"Forget it, let's talk about it when the fight is over! I'll talk to him. "The tiger descended the mountain and had to be dealt with in this way." What about the rest? Has the wall been knocked down there? ”

The assistant flipped through the information in his hand and replied: "The progress is a little slower than we expected, the west and north walls are feints, so there has been no progress so far, and it is still in the stage of long-range troops attrition of each other. The south and east walls, which were the main attack, have now entered a state of contention for the head of the wall. ”

Another assistant added: "The eastern wall of the first regiment seems to be making the fastest progress now, four lots have been occupied, reserves have been replenished, and they are expanding towards the other ones, and it is expected that the battle will be completely ended in another three hours." But on the south side of the wall......"

"On the south side, the third regiment is in charge, right? What's wrong? Was it beaten back? Didn't I bring them six trebuchets and eleven bed crossbows? Why can't the progress be compared to the next mess? That's seven percent of all the siege equipment of the union! ”

"In fact, the south side broke into the wall earlier than the east side. In particular, the 307 Squadron, which was in charge of the third section, once occupied the entire third section and assisted the 305 Squadron in attacking the fourth section, but because the reserves did not make up for it in time, the losses were too large, and finally had to evacuate the wall. The assistant said.

The tiger was a little surprised when he went down the mountain, because from the point of view of strength, the three regiments assisted by siege equipment were obviously stronger than the first regiment, and there was no reason why all regiments had such results, but the three regiments were almost beaten back!

"What the hell is going on? Say! "The tiger came down the mountain and immediately realized what was happening ahead of him that he didn't want to see.

The assistant replied embarrassedly: "The details are not clear, but according to the players of the 307 squadron who were resurrected after the death, it was the commander of the Bakan regiment who deliberately refused to send reserves to support them, which led to this result." ”

"What about Bakan's explanation?"

"Commander Bakan said that he thought that the sixth section would be easier to break through, so he asked the reserves to support the 301 squadron in advance, and if the 307 squadron could hold out for five more minutes, the reserves would have been able to arrive, and the result would not have been like this!" The assistant said.

The tiger's face turned cold in an instant, and he knew very well that this was all Bakan's quibbling. Because the 301 Squadron is Bakan's henchmen, the entire squadron is composed of Bakan's old friends, and the 307 Squadron is transferred from the 2nd Regiment to the 3rd Regiment.

"I heard from a friend of mine that it was probably Captain Bakan who wanted the 307 Squadron to hand over some of the loot from the last attack on the town, but the 307 Squadron refused this request, so he did it." The assistant added.

Each guild has its own way of handling loot, and in order to further motivate guild members, Tiger Descend has set a "first come, first served" rule, and any captured loot belongs to the player until the rebels in the town are completely wiped out, and the guild will not be required to hand it in.

Meng Ruhai, the commander of the second regiment, is an honest person, although he is not capable, but he is cautious and prudent, and strictly implements the order for the tiger to go down the mountain. And the commander of the third regiment, Bakan, is completely the opposite, he is a newcomer, originally the head of a small group of players, after being absorbed by the Moonlit Night Tiger Union, relying on his cleverness and a little military talent, he became the head of the third regiment, this person is greedy, not only inserted his henchmen into the squadrons of the entire three regiments to be captains, but also often asked his members to hand over the spoils of war to satisfy their greed. Moreover, Bakan also has a bad relationship with Bai Qing, and often sends things to Bai Qing, and the two are embarrassed and are despised by many trade union members.

As soon as the tiger who had just been angry with Bai Qing came down the mountain and heard this kind of thing, the anger rushed up. If you can't clean up Bai Qing, can't you clean up a Bakan?

"Tell me that I don't care if his cousin is in the Angel's covenant or where, even if his own sister is the Angel Raphael, he has to work for me! If this happens again, he'll give me his ticket to get out of here! We, the Tigers on a moonlit night, don't lack his little gadgets! An hour! I'll just give him an hour! If he can't make sure that he wins at least two bids, then I'll cancel his position as the head of the regiment and let someone else sit in this position! The tiger slapped the hilt of his sword heavily and roared loudly.

The two assistants rarely saw their president make such a big fire, so they were silent, and immediately ran forward to deliver the president's order!

The tiger let out a long sigh as he descended the mountain. He was extremely envious of the angel Raphael. Not only is her status and influence in the eyes of the aborigines, but the fact that she commands such a big union as a woman, and that no one from top to bottom dares to oppose her order, makes the tiger's eyes spurt blood.

Only those who have served as presidents themselves know how difficult it is to do this! The Moonlit Night Tiger Guild is only a few thousand people, and it has already made the Tiger almost emaciated when he descends the mountain, let alone the Angel Covenant! That's millions of members!
