Chapter 9: Conflict

How to incite refugees? It is definitely not possible to say it directly, not to mention whether the refugees will be so stupid, even if a conflict really breaks out between the two sides, although there are more than a dozen militiamen on their side and more than a hundred refugees, it is estimated that they are not enough for the elite soldiers of the other side to kill!

Claire came from a low background, originally a gangster and didn't have much knowledge, but he was a natural conspirator! With a low background, he knows very well what the refugees think, which is why he immediately felt that Xiao Yi was a huge threat to him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

He wants to take advantage of the commoners' disgust with the aristocracy to drive this young man away! He understands very well the complex feelings of the commoners towards the aristocracy, on the one hand, he wants to accept the protection of the nobles, on the other hand, he is very disgusted with the oppression and exploitation of the nobles, and he may not dare to show it in peacetime, but now it is different, these nobles not only did not give them protection, but left them and ran away!

So in an instant, Claire came up with a brilliant plan, that is, to take advantage of Xiao Yi's "pampered" problem, and take some people out to hunt for the criminal and greedy nobles, so as to satisfy the "luxurious enjoyment" of the nobles in the flight, and let the militia be lazy, creating a picture of putting the refugees in danger because of Xiao Yi's personal enjoyment.

In his imagination, a nobleman who even had to test the poison of the guards even when he ate would definitely not dare to let the guards go too far away from him. Initially upset the refugees, and then get hurt yourself, or let your loyal militia men get hurt a little bit? It doesn't take much of them to get hurt, a little is enough.

The fact that the respected chieftain and the soldier who guaranteed his own safety was wounded by the enjoyment of the nobles was a complete aristocratic attitude that did not care about the lives of the commoners, and this kind of behavior would definitely make the foolish peasants feel angry and disgusted.

Claire had a good plan, and if his prestige was high enough, he might really succeed, but he overestimated his place in the hearts of the refugees.

In the past, it was because the refugees had no support, and the refugees would support him, at least he could give everyone some security, and at the same time be able to get a small amount of food from him, so that they would not starve to death, and that's it.

After Claire led the people out hunting, and the militia also relaxed according to the plan, the guards who had taken a short break immediately took over the defense of the entire fortress.

In Heroes of Invincible, the Guard Officer is the elite class of the Templars, in addition to being a high-end combat force, as an army composed of noble children, their main role is as a grassroots commander on the front line, and they all have good military literacy.

Sharif didn't realize that this captain of the garrison, who seemed to have a sense of justice, was actually hostile to his master, but he had a good impression of him, and he actually thought about his master everywhere, good man!

As for the laxity of the militia, it is very normal in the eyes of Sharif, these militias in his eyes cannot be called soldiers at all! They have not undergone the slightest training, they are just a group of peasants who have taken up arms, and they can still pretend when the chief is there, and when the chief is gone, he will definitely be lazy!

Coupled with the fact that he was already dismissive of the combat effectiveness of these militias, Sharif naturally took over the defense of the Xiquan Fortress, and his rich military literacy made him understand that if someone broke through the fortress, no matter how powerful they were, they would be the turtle in the urn, although he didn't understand this idiom.

Stronger fighters and a more standardized sentry mechanism make refugees feel more at ease. Sharif also ordered guards with some medical knowledge to treat the wounds of refugees with external injuries. They also escorted some able-bodied refugees out to cut wood, and increased the number of bonfires on the first floor.

Of course, this is not because Sharif is kind-hearted, but simply because the wounded are easy to die in a harsh environment, and the dead not only affect morale, but also produce a plague and threaten Xiao Yi's safety.

But the refugees don't know! All they know is that they have been treated for their wounds, relieved their pain, brought warmth, and are satisfied with the fact that they have not been given the food they need most.

By the time Claire returned to the fortress with the tired, wounded militia, it really aroused the concern of the refugees, and then ......

Everyone should be roasting the fire, cooking the food should be cooked, and there is no indignation at all that the guards are declining and they are being exploited! Maybe they were a little unhappy that the guards took away a small amount of prey, but they were just dissatisfied! At this time, the selfishness of human nature is vividly reflected in the refugees, and with a stronger attachment object, who cares about you Claire?

After learning what Sharif had done from the militia, Claire felt a little tricky, as if this nobleman's methods were much better than her own!

Claire, who had failed in her plan, was unwilling and planned to come straight to the hard one! He first promised better treatment, and let the thugs spread rumors that the new nobles would take all the food and everything. And let the wounded militia go to the refugees to complain, saying that the prey they had worked so hard for was taken away by the nobleman.

Although the militia's complaints made the refugees very sympathetic, the refugees who often encountered such things did not react in any way except to complain with the militiamen. But the gangsters are different, although they don't get much food every day, but after all, there is still something to eat! Now you don't plan to give it at all? How can this work? Although many people don't believe the gangsters, they are always worried.

Originally, this kind of low-level trick, as long as the food was distributed as usual, would be broken, and Claire did not dare to deliberately not distribute food to frame Xiao Yi.

But something unexpected happened, in order to ensure the safety of the camp, Sharif came completely in accordance with military regulations, and the prohibition of rumors was one of them, which could effectively avoid causing panic.

Therefore, the guards immediately arrested the thugs who walked the rumor, which undoubtedly made the refugees believe this rumor even more, because in the army, people are usually arrested first and explained in the trial.

And then there's the militia, who, at Claire's behest, surround the guards who are capturing the gangsters, and let them go, as if we were doing our own thing, and you outsiders don't care.

How could the guards back down? Not to mention that they only accept Xiao Yi's leadership, since these militias let themselves take over the fortress without resistance, the guards have already planned the militia to the range of armed civilians.

The noise attracted the other guards, and when they saw that someone was making trouble, they directly surrounded the people and made an offensive gesture to intimidate them.

Because the orders issued by Sharif also have a priority, and the highest level of orders is: it is forbidden to make loud noises that affect the rest of adults.

In the face of the aggressive guards, some of the militia members can't get off the stage, some are afraid of the strength of the guards, and they don't want to give in at will, they don't care about Claire like refugees, as the group with the highest priority for resources, they are the most supportive of Claire, so in order to maintain Claire's leadership position, they understand that they can't back down in the current situation.

The clash between the guards and the militia is soon known to Sharif, and Claire is ready to play a round, because if a clash breaks out with the guards, he will definitely lose the most. When the chief of the guard, Sherif understood what was going on, he still used force, disarmed the militia, and imprisoned the troublemaker and Claire together!

This practice is the safest in Sharif's view, as these militias are a destabilizing factor that must be controlled for Xiao Yi's safety.

The refugees don't really care if Claire and others are detained, they only care that their food will be detained! Sharif's approach undoubtedly shows that these rumors may be true! Otherwise, why would these noble guards be so sensitive to these topics?

These stupid and selfish refugees don't think things are so complicated, so they clamored and even questioned Sharif. Faced with this problem, Sharif has no right to call the shots, after all, he is just a guard, he can stretch out his hand for the defense of the fortress, and he doesn't dare to talk nonsense in the face of food distribution, but he can't go to the sleeping Xiao Yi now.

So he made the easiest choice, coerced these refugees by force, and when Xiao Yi woke up, he made a decision to announce it to these refugees, which was a very aristocratic approach. Since then, Xiao Yi has gained control of the entire Xiquan Fortress.

But Xiao Yi wanted to say: "Ma Dan! ā€
