Chapter 362: Instead
With the fall of the first snow of the year, the inhabitants of the Solo Peninsula Leeks also looked up to the most difficult winter of the year, the cold weather did not extinguish the fiery ambitions of the Negan Lords, and the snow on the ground did not stop the army, and the war between the lords of the Solo Peninsula continued, in addition to the two lords who had been inseparable before, several lords fought each other one after another.
When the lords go to war, the most unfortunate ones are, of course, the common people, not to mention the areas where they are fighting. A large number of people were affected by the war, looted by the army, and it was normal for families to be ruined and killed, while the residents of non-warring areas were also sad, and the expenses required by the lords to start the war were naturally spread on their heads, and the temporary taxes of various names made the residents miserable, and the death of a large number of soldiers also made the lords have to launch a new round of conscription in these areas, and there were complaints everywhere.
And throughout Negan, wars of all sizes are constantly breaking out, the most notable of which are the most notable. Of course, it was a war between the four great lords, Daxtor and Jade Ter, the two most powerful lords, and the other two powerful lords, Helika and Aget, were also fighting in Negan's underworld, and it was destined to be an unquiet winter for the Negans.
However, the area of the Solo Peninsula, which belonged to Count Fernand, was uncharacteristically peaceful in such troubled times, and under the secret operation of some people, although several neighboring lords fought each other to the death, no one tried to get their hands on it for the time being.
The local residents don't know the truth of the matter, but this does not prevent them from worrying and rejoicing, coupled with the benevolence of Lord Arthur, who manages the territory on behalf of Count Fernande, the residents are okay this winter, although some places have been damaged quite seriously because of the previous raid by Lord Jeffrey, but Lord Arthur's recruitment of laborers has solved the urgent needs of the people in these places, because Lord Arthur will give priority to recruiting people from these areas to help Lord Arthur do things, not only have money to take, but also take care of a meal, If there is a need, you can also directly use the money obtained from doing things to exchange for other needed materials in the designated place, such as food and clothing.
For these residents who have suffered so much from war and inventory, in this cold winter. Being able to have a job, enough food to eat, and warm clothes to wear is already a heavenly life.
Lord Arthur, who caused all this, naturally won the support of many residents because of this. Lord Arthur's prestige in the local area is growing. And the real owner of this land in name. The Count of Fernand is rarely mentioned nowadays.
"Looks like it's almost time for Fernand to step down from his lordship!" Seeing that everything was going well, Morriel found Jian Chen and suggested that he dispose of Fernande according to the original plan, "Judging from all aspects of intelligence, none of the other lords doubted your identity, if I am not mistaken, they now wish you to kill Fernande as soon as possible and claim to be the lord, and in the future, you, the fake Arthur of Negan, can rightfully become the lord here and be recognized by the other Negan lords!" It will be much easier for us to do things! ”
So soon after, according to Chen Jian's request, Fernande obediently announced that he was not suitable to continue to serve as the local lord due to physical reasons, so he abdicated and gave up the lord's throne to Arthur, who had recently gained a high reputation among the lords.
Of course, this is the official version, and the news circulating in private is that the recent actions of the kind-hearted Lord Arthur have angered Count Fernande, who is recovering, so Count Fernande has decided to kill Lord Arthur.
However, Lord Arthur was unwilling to be restrained, and he could not bear to let the people suffer again, and with the support of the army, he brazenly launched a mutiny, so Count Fernande not only had no way to cure Lord Arthur's sin, but was ousted by Lord Arthur.
There is also a theory that Lord Arthur has long been tired of the oppression of the people by Count Fernand. There has been a covert attempt to overthrow the rule of Count Fernand, which is a premeditated event.
Both of these statements are believed by many people. But no one cares what the truth of the incident is, the important thing is that the kind-hearted Lord Arthur became the lord, and he was able to make everyone live a good life. That's it.
Not only civilians, but also soldiers in the army. It is also to support Lord Arthur to come to power, because since Lord Arthur took over the army, everyone's treatment has not improved a little bit, new equipment, good food, according to Lord Arthur's orders, everyone will still have a salary every month in the future, such treatment, even the descendants of Count Fernand cannot have!
The soldiers who surrendered from Fernand's army were secretly arranged by Chen Jian one day to be sent to the Evermont Islands by a magic portal. These soldiers were loyal to Fernand and knew a lot of things, even though they had surrendered. But they are not reliable, and it is best to throw them to the Evermont Islands as free coolies. After they have been assimilated, it is not advisable to recruit them into the army
And Fernand, who completed his last mission, was secretly executed by Moriel, although Chen Jian wanted to spare him a small life, but Moriel disagreed: "Your Excellency, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to yourself, Fernande is an ambitious guy, don't underestimate him." Who can be a lord in Negan is not ruthless? There are many harms and no benefits in keeping him, and cutting the grass and eradicating the roots is the best choice! If you can, please leave this matter to me! Although Jian Chen was unwilling, he had to admit that what Morriel said made sense, and finally acquiesced to Moriel's approach.
Politics is inherently dark, no one can be alone in this big dye vat, Chen Jian knows that he will definitely make a lot of choices against his will in the future, but now, he has embarked on this road and has no way to retreat.
At this time, Jian Chen suddenly understood how Catherine felt when she ordered her to arrest her and threaten her with a sorceress as a hostage.
After dealing with these things, Chen Jian began to reorganize the army again, he split up a mixed infantry legion he brought from the Evermont Islands, and took these soldiers who were loyal to the alliance as the backbone, plus those troops who took over from Fernand, and reorganized them into three, mixed legions, and the flying troops were also mixed with his original flying troops, and a large number of harpies and poisonous scorpions joined. The situation that the alliance's air power was too weak was greatly changed, and the air corps was officially formed.
The reason why the other legion was not moved was to ensure sufficient combat effectiveness to deal with possible emergencies, although no one was attacking him at the moment, but the situation of Negan was so chaotic, Chen Jian was a little worried that the surrounding Negan lords would suddenly attack him on a whim.
The newly formed legion, led by Pete and Orison, began to train according to the methods of the Union army.
It is worth mentioning that the warriors and gargoyles of the Angel Clan have been sent back to the Evermont Islands by Jian Chen, only a small number of archangel warriors in the presidential guard remained, and dozens of red dragons and black dragons have become Jian Chen's cutting-edge force in Negan, although they have just joined, but due to the presence of the dragon queen Moriel, their loyalty is nothing to worry about.
And to Chen Jian, "These red dragons and black dragons are admired by the five-body casting, because before the black dragon Qiu Odoras returned to Negan Dragon City, he had secretly reminded these guys that Chen Jian was the man that the dragon queen wanted, and the man who could bring his sister to the dragon queen, everyone couldn't admire it if they didn't want to."
"Don't look at him and his amiable appearance, this man is an even more powerful existence than the Dragon Queen! Even the Dragon Queen was convinced of him! Voluntarily pledge! If you offend him, wait to face the wrath of the dragon queen! And those angels, you also saw them! And that water magic master, you know, right? They followed this man of their own free will! There are many more, I am not convenient to tell you, and you will know slowly in the future! In short, following this man and the dragon queen, there is definitely a future! It's only a matter of time before they unify Negan! ”
The black dragon Qiu Odoras is quite famous among the dragon clan, and the husband knows that this black dragon hero has followed the dragon queen to fight in the north and south as early as when the dragon queen has not yet become a dragon body, and dozens of red dragons and black dragons were shocked by what he said, and the image of Jian Chen instantly became extremely mysterious and tall in their hearts.
Successfully gaining a foothold on the Solo Peninsula, Chen Jian decided to shift the focus of his power from the Evermont Islands to the Solo Peninsula, so under his orders, Robert and others were also stationed in the local area, and their arrival will greatly strengthen Chen Jian's control over the trend of local public opinion, whether it is civil or in the legions formed by those networks.
And Morrill also left Jian Chen again. She was going to rendezvous with Antonio and Erache for the next round of operations, and under the instructions of Jian Chen, the female elf Vikna was placed under Moriel.
Although the alliance has a little foundation in Negan, it is not yet stable, so the task of Morriel and others is to disrupt the situation on the Solo Peninsula, on the one hand, to provoke a war between the Negan lords, so that they can weaken their strength in fighting each other, and on the other hand, to buy time for the alliance, so that the new legions can adapt to the unique equipment and tactics of the alliance army and form combat effectiveness.
Jian Chen's plan was to first completely occupy the Solo Peninsula, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then go to other areas of Negan to implement his own strategic layout of multi-point flowering.
Because the terrain of the Solo Peninsula is too favorable, if you don't do it now, if one of Daxto or Jade T breaks through the blockade of the Little Lords Alliance and enters the interior of the Solo Peninsula, then the alliance will be quite passive on the Solo Peninsula.
Of course, this situation can't happen, so Chen Jian thinks that he must strike first.
