Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
If the fish-man and the gnoll are a pair of old enemies; The fish-man and the human are mortal enemies. Although the average intelligence of the fish people is not high, there are indeed wise people with extremely high intelligence, who dominate the trend of the group and make decisions on the major affairs of the group. As soon as the emissaries sent by the gnolls came into contact with the fish-man tribe, the fish-man wise man was keenly aware of the danger.
For these humanoid natives, humans are greedy, insatiable, and natural conquerors, and neither fish-men nor gnolls alone are their opponents. If you sit on the sidelines and watch the tiger fight, the result can only be that the human beings will press the evil wolf down, tear off the wolf skin and devour the wolf meat, and then become stronger, and finally come to kill all the fish people...... Dead lips and cold teeth! The wise men of the fishmen had obviously never heard of this sentence, but they knew something like it!
So when the gnoll messenger brought the greatest sincerity of the gnoll tribe, several human corpses that died in the battle, these are all good food, as well as various improvised weapons support, and finally willing to cede a forest area to the fishmen to govern, the elders of the tribe decisively ordered, the fishmen to join the war!
A large number of fishmen set up an ambush in the forest area near the shore of Lake Spiegel, and successfully killed some human warriors and mercenaries, plus the gnolls stood up again at this time, and the three parties entered a long-term confrontation stage!
These mercenaries were just a few of the mercenaries who escaped in the back row after being ambushed by the fishmen......
"Don't go to the other side of Lake Spiegel, Master Mage! It's dangerous there, dozens of border guards and the same number of mercenaries have been poisoned, presumably those disgusting fish-men, are biting their corpses, we got away with it, we vowed to flee this place, never to come back, you don't know, how badly those people died? I saw with my own eyes a mercenary girl who had been shot in the abdomen, her hands cut off in the struggle, and then dragged into the water by the fishmen who lifted her thighs upside down. She's going to be eaten, Holy Light, and help the poor girl! ”
This young mercenary, even losing his weapons and his self-esteem, will only pitifully ask for help from the ethereal holy light, maybe after he returns, he will choose to abandon his identity as a mercenary and return to his hometown to farm, right? Who knows?
This group of defeated soldiers is heading for Shining Gold Town, which is good! At least, Egger doesn't want to be caught by Captain Crowe inexplicably, in case he is strongly asked to join the combat forces of the two clans, although he can refuse, but that will greatly reduce the favorability, it is very unwise, it is better to go over silently!
The mage doesn't want to wade into this troubled water, who knows how long it will take? How can time be wasted here?
Besides, he has ambitions for the Spiegel Lake, and now the three parties are in a state of confrontation, which is good for him, and the fish people and the gnolls have become the guardians of this area in disguise, which is good? Why take out these Guardians? Wouldn't killing them mean that there would be other humans stationed there? Cut, it's good that Lao Tzu didn't help this group of fishmen! Of course, that's just thinking about it.
Flash! That's what Iger decides!
Riding his horse forward, the closer he got to the Xiquan Fortress, the more frightened he became, after not seeing him for more than ten days, the people here became bustling, the passers-by became more and more, and most importantly, he could often see stretcher teams carrying the wounded up and down. Fighting the fishmen and the gnolls at the same time, there is enough price to pay for here.
There was no intention of meeting Captain Crow, although he wanted to persuade the man to give up, but Iger also understood that even if Crow was willing to give himself face, when it came to territorial and war issues, he was soft-spoken, which garlic sprout was it?
"I'm a mediocre person, so why bother myself? This is no longer a situation that they can control, and I believe that after a period of confrontation, the nobles of Stormwind City and Crowe will be able to realize that maintaining the current situation for the time being is their best choice. ”
……
"If you go further, you will enter the western wilderness, where thieves and monsters are rampant, and you can't get through here without tokens!"
Egger was at the checkpoint in Guò when he was stopped by a soldier on duty. The little mage who realized that he was abrupt hurriedly showed the Xiquan Guardian Medal, which was able to pass the gì guò.
……
In contrast to the lush surroundings of Alwyn Forest, the Wild West is, as its name suggests, the first thing that catches your eye is the barrenness. This is a rare red earth in the Big 6, the soil is rich in various metal elements, the most important is iron, due to the large proportion of iron, most of the area here is red and yellow color, very beautiful, but barren.
The western wilderness is vast, vast and barren, and its greatest feature is here. There are two of the most famous mines, the Jangorod Mine in the north of the Western Wilderness, and the Gold and Jade Mine in the west, which were originally excellent tin-iron rich mining areas and are relatively well-known sources of metals for mankind, but since the great disaster of mankind and the re-establishment of the city in the storm, this place has slowly changed owners.
The Diafi Brotherhood basically controlled the Gold Coast, and Stormwind had to retreat in the area of Alwyn Forest due to its lack of military strength and inability to conquer, with Westspring Fortress as a buffer.
Therefore, at this time, the real masters of the Western Wilderness are the Diafi Brotherhood and the Western People's Army, which is composed of local freedmen, and these two forces are entangled in this vast land. The Brotherhood fought for de facto control of the wilderness, while the Western People's Army fought for the most basic survival.
The Western People's Army, led by Grian Stallman, is actually not a small man, and is the supreme commander of the famous Moon Creek Brigade. He did not have an official knighthood from the government, but was only the leader of the guerrilla detachment or the local self-government league, and could be regarded as the leader of the freelancers in the fixed area of activity.
The Moon Creek Brigade is a mercenary group originating from Moon Creek Town, don't think it's just a mercenary group and think they can't do it, in fact, this is an extremely rare local mercenary group, and its members are all from the local fighters in the Western Wilderness, and they were also a well-known S-level mercenary group in the big 6 back then, and they have had a lot of outstanding achievements. This mercenary is the pride of the people of the Western Wilderness, and under the leadership of the legendary Stallman, he has made a great name among the Terrans of the Big 6 and has become the top mercenary group that stands out from the crowd.
When the power of the Diafi Brotherhood spread dramatically, and quickly took control of the western wilderness, oppressed the local civilians, and turned the place into a battlefield against Stormwind, causing many misfortunes to the local civilians, the Moon Creek Brigade returned. Before returning, they dissuaded all non-native members of the Wild West, leaving only an elite organization based on the native members of their own country.
They entered by boat from the Gold Coast, led by Stallman himself, and quickly recaptured nearly half of the territory, including Sentinel Ridge, rearoused the fighting spirit of the local people who had been oppressed by the Brotherhood, and even organized a large-scale battle against Yuexi Town, but unfortunately after the Brotherhood adjusted, it firmly stabilized its position and repelled their attack...... The Moon Creek Brigade sacrificed a lot of excellent soldiers.
In order to be able to fight against the powerful and tyrannical Brotherhood, Stallman, without the permission of Stormwind and without sufficient support, called on all the people of the Western Wilderness to fight against the increasingly rampant Diafi Thieves, which is the origin of the Western People's Army.
Humans are a very stress-resistant race, and they can always burst out with amazing potential at critical moments. Stormwind City is not optimistic about the Western People's Army, because their own powerful army can only cower behind the West Spring Fortress, looking at the increasingly rampant Diafi Brotherhood and sighing, this group of mud legs that came out of nowhere can work? They don't believe it!
However, the real situation surprised them, the Western People's Army relied on Sentinel Ridge to start the people's war, and had a large number of people who supported them, and the People's Army received continuous fresh blood support, and repelled the Brotherhood's invasion several times. In addition, I don't know when it started, the resources of the Brotherhood are tilted to other aspects, and it is temporarily unable to entangle with the People's Army in the quagmire of war, so the large army retreats to Yuexi Town, and the dagger leads the first line, which is equivalent to acquiescing to the main occupation right of the Western People's Army in the Western Wilderness.
Of course, there are still a large number of Diafi thieves wreaking havoc throughout the wilderness, especially the Gold Coast, a sea passage, and two large mines, all of which are in the hands of the Brotherhood, but elsewhere, large armies of thieves are rare.
Although they still look down on this group of mud legs in their bones, the nobles of Stormwind City are still happy to see that someone can control the mob of the Brotherhood. After all, the ultimate goal of the Brotherhood is to kill these nobles, and the goal of the People's Army is to survive and live better! As a result, Stormwind sent emissaries, willing to join forces with the People's Army, and provide the necessary support.
Despite Stallman's best efforts, Stormwind still refused to officially recognize the power of the Western People's Army, because it would be tantamount to letting the Western Wilderness out of their control, which was not tolerated by the nobles. But at least they took a step back, acquiescing to the KPA's current autonomy, acquiescing to Stallman's current retention, and providing the necessary weapons, training, and even a small amount of food.
If you have the right, you have to take the obligation! The Western People's Army needs to publicly declare its acceptance of Stormwind's moderation, which is a matter of Stormwind's face, and Stallman finally had to make a statement that the People's Army is nominally subordinate to the leadership of the Stormwind military, but has relatively large regional autonomy. At the same time, the KPA is to assist in the capture of the Diafi thieves who have infiltrated the Elwyn Forest, and to serve as a bridgehead against the Brotherhood.
To put it simply, the Western People's Army can only be a local force, unable to receive official military support, and they are not fighting for Stormwind, but only for themselves, for survival.
