Chapter 675: The Fall of the Farouk Army
The use of airdrop flyers to engage in heart-to-heart warfare is a fairly common tactic on Earth, but it is the first of its kind on the continent of Elasia, where swords and sorcery are swordsmanship.
So when the leaflets fell like snowflakes from the sky on this sunny autumn morning, the remnants of Farouk's soldiers were puzzled by the purpose of dropping so many pieces of paper.
Soon, the curious soldiers who picked up the pieces of paper noticed that the pieces of paper were full of words, and began to get up, and were fascinated by the contents.
There are more and more soldiers joining this ranks, elves, dwarves, centaurs, humans, and the soldiers of the remnants of Farouk are only about 80,000, but there are more than 100,000 leaflets that Chen Jian has people scatter, and there are more than two copies of each person.
Then the soldiers discovered that the contents of the pieces of paper varied, and those descriptions of various aspects of the Entagri Empire were left aside for the time being, and those doubts about Farouk quickly caused a great commotion among the soldiers.
Farouk is extremely ambitious, ambitious, and self-serving, but since the incident, he has been repeatedly frustrated, and his style of action is inevitably a little extreme, using some shady means, but he is not really a fool, he naturally cherishes the reputation he has accumulated over the years, and knows that these things are disgraceful, and they are all done very secretly, and only a few henchmen know.
But the bizarre disappearance of Lloyd and the Doomsday Blade before, the defection of Alice and others, and all kinds of serious mistakes in the past, the successive defeats in the battle against the Elf King** team and the Elasia army, have seriously damaged his reputation, and it is not an exaggeration to describe his current situation with the betrayal of relatives, the hundreds of thousands of troops he secretly formed in order to cause an incident back then are now dead, fleeing, betraying, and losing all the elite.
At present, this remnant army of more than 80,000 people can be said to be his last capital, but although this team still follows him, the morale of the army has already fallen to the bottom, and the material problems that once plagued the Alice army are now also plaguing this army.
Defeated repeatedly, lacking food and clothing, surrounded by strong enemies, the future is bleak, and the concept that once aspired to is not in sight of any hope of realization.
In fact, without Chen Jian's leaflets, with Farouk's ability, this army can't last long.
Now that the that Farouk did was revealed by Jian Chen, and many quite sensitive questions were raised just right, Farouk's morale was already an invincible remnant, of course, it was quickly chaotic.
Farouk was furious about this situation, and after figuring out what was written on the pieces of paper that Chen Jian had people scatter, he roared and ordered the soldiers not to allow the contents of these pieces of paper, and sent people to try to recycle these pieces of paper for incineration-this is a normal reaction, and there is nothing wrong with Farook doing this, but there are so many leaflets that Chen Jian has thrown out, how easy is it to collect them at a moment's notice? Moreover, at this time, the soldiers were in a very sensitive situation, and Farouk's approach attracted the soldiers to be more suspicious, and they were suspected of being thieves.
So there are many people who are reluctant to hand over the pieces of paper in their hands, they want multi-faceted content, trying to distinguish the authenticity of the content, and the various descriptions of the Entagri Empire on it also make many people quite excited, and more importantly, these pieces of paper also write that if anyone is willing to join the great cause of racial equality in the Entagri Empire, they can go to Ofer somewhere with a copy of this leaflet, and the Entagri Empire will send someone to meet them.
Everyone has worked hard for the cause of racial equality for so long, but there is no achievement, and they are all disheartened when they see that they are about to die, and now they suddenly find that in Negan, there are already people who have achieved the ideal country they want, and who doesn't want to see it with their own eyes? And who would be willing to face the impending defeat and their own doom?
They were thrilled by the declaration of the Entagri Empire, moved by the various laws and regulations of the Entagri Empire that were closely related to the concept of racial equality, and made them sad by the racial memorabilia of the Entagri Empire, which resembled the historical records - Farouk was too inactive in comparison.
Therefore, the recovery of the pieces of paper sent by Farouk did not go well, and until dusk, the leaflets they collected from the Entagri Empire were only tens of thousands, and by this time, all the contents of the leaflets had already been completely spread among the soldiers.
Late that night, people began to sneak out of the camp.
At first, this situation was only sporadical, but as time went by, more and more people left, and at dawn, there was a phenomenon of soldiers fleeing en masse, and most of the soldiers on duty at night turned a blind eye to this and did not bother to pay attention to it.
As a result, by the time Farouk, who was alarmed by the commotion, got up from his bed and hurriedly came out to check the situation, the number of fleeing soldiers had reached thousands, and the largest number of escapees had reached more than 600.
Of course, Farouk was furious again, but he didn't have any good way to deal with this situation, he was so angry that he ordered martial law in the camp, and sent his henchmen to patrol the camp back and forth with manpower, if it weren't for the fear that the soldiers would take the opportunity to escape, he originally wanted to send people to chase back those fugitives, but these practices attracted some people's disgust with him.
Things have developed to this point, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Farouk army is already finished, maybe the Farouk army should not have reached the end of the road so quickly, but Chen Jian scattered a handful of leaflets, but it greatly accelerated the speed of the destruction of the Farouk army.
In the next few days, the phenomenon of escape occurred from time to time, and the scale of the escape became larger and larger, and even in broad daylight, some people took the opportunity to go out to forage for food, and the soldiers who escaped also spread from the first dwarves, centaurs, and humans, to the elven soldiers, including some elite elements such as the Silver Pegasus Knight and the Guardian of the Jungle.
Farouk was not a complete fool, although his abilities were limited, he finally recognized the facts, knew that he was not the legendary savior, and seeing that the situation was irretrievably eroded, in despair, he left the camp quietly one night with a small number of his die-hard loyalists who were still willing to be loyal, and disappeared, as if he had evaporated from the continent of Erathia, and there was no news of his possible whereabouts on the continent.
As soon as Farouk left, the remnants of his army immediately dispersed, most of them carried the leaflets dropped by Chen Jian in their hands, and went to a certain place in Oufu in groups, while the rest either left on their own or tried to sneak back to the forests of Tula Leone to find the whereabouts of their relatives who had been separated during the war.
The Farouk Army, which had once been famous on the continent with the Doomsday Blade left behind by the Kregan, vanished.
And Chen Jian, because of this, has eliminated his two biggest obstacles in the Ofer area without spending a single soldier, without a single knife or shot, and greatly advanced his Ofer strategy.
