Chapter 461: Tolkien's Enlightenment
Time passed in battle, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
The seven-day covenant between Kim and Ari has also reached the time, but without Ari's begging, the Chaman Empire has no intention of withdrawing its troops.
This is also because the results of Lilia and Joffrey in these seven days gave Kim hope.
In just seven days, Lilia and Joffrey fought no less than a hundred times, and the range of action was more than 500 kilometers!
In the face of this kind of fighting method that is amazingly fast, elusive, and still very powerful, the five empires have no way.
In the past seven days, there has not been one in the logistics team transported to the front line, and the five empires have begun to forcibly collect food from the people, and the daily food standard has been adjusted to two meals a day, and one meal is thin.
The more grain is levied, the greater the contradiction with the people, and the number of rebellions and uprisings has skyrocketed several times.
Seeing that the five empires are so embarrassed, where is there any reason for the Chaman Empire not to seize the opportunity, the army is harassing day and night, but as long as the five empires are serious, they immediately choose to retreat back, and don't want to be obscene.
Among the five major empires, the situation of the Phantom Cloud Empire and the Xingluo Empire is not bad, because of the policy of kindness, the residents in the city still have some food in their homes, and they can survive for a few days with the collected grain.
The three empires of the Dark Alliance are so tragic, their original policy is to scrape the ground and prepare to withdraw their troops, so it has been a long time since they have transported grain to the front line, and even in order to transport the grain back, all the grain was collected into the granary, and it happened that this time it was burned clean by Lilia and others, and the front line has reached the point where it can only be eaten twice.
"Lilia, they fought well, the five empires are almost unable to hold on, there is no food, and it is not easy for them to retreat. ”
Atlanta City, the city lord's office, Ari is very satisfied with the current result, after this period of time, Lilia and they can be said to have thoroughly mastered the way of guerrilla warfare, and the logistics lines of the five empires have been beaten into a sieve, and there are holes everywhere.
"The acceptance has been arranged, but it is not easy to transfer them, this is a transfer of more than a million people, and if something goes wrong in the process of transfer, I am afraid that no one can control it. Fina said with a cautious face.
Ever since Ari's order, the policy of prisoner placement has begun to shift from paper to implementation, even though capturing three million people at once sounds like an appalling thing.
Now, there is hope, but the process is not so easy.
Ai Rui said confidently: "Just build a few more ultra-long-range teleportation magic arrays, and control the supply of magic power in the urban area of Atlanta City for a limited time, so as to support the operation of the magic array, there is no need to rush, just transfer it in ten days and half a month." ”
Hearing this, Fina nodded, turned around and went to arrange the establishment of the teleportation magic array, as for how to get the armies of the five empires to cooperate, Fina didn't ask.
If she was the decision-maker of the five empires, I am afraid that she would rather all these millions of people die in battle than agree to let them be at the mercy of Atlanta.
In fact, in order to make the limited food last longer, the five empires have consciously begun to deliberately send soldiers to their deaths, and thousands of people dare to charge the well-defended fortress.
"It's time. ”
By the time the five Imperial Commanders finally made this cruel decision, the plan that Eri had prepared could be launched.
On this day, outside the five major cities, dozens of magic cannons were launched at the same time, and the officers on the city wall who watched it had a jump.
Bang!
The muzzle of the magic cannon shrank, and hundreds of projectiles blasted towards the city.
There was a commotion on the city wall, and the soldiers hurriedly began to play looking for a place to hide.
However, after the cannon fired, there was no response, as if the shell had disappeared out of thin air.
"Quick, look at the sky!" Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed.
In the sky, above everyone's heads, the cannonballs fired by the magic guide cannon suddenly exploded, and countless papers fluttered and fell in the wind.
"What is this......"
"Look, there's a word on it!"
Everyone grabbed the paper that fell on top of their heads, and the literate subconsciously read it.
"The Empire is running out of food, but you will not starve to death, but be murdered!"
"The empire is inhumane, sending soldiers to death, just to save food!"
"If you don't resist, you'll be the next to die!"
In the sky, among the falling papers, there are only blood-red headlines that are blackened and bold, which makes people tremble.
On a piece of paper, a few words detonated the worries in the hearts of the soldiers of the five empires.
It's not that no one has thought about this problem, but those who dare to discuss this issue are about to grow grass on the grave, and even the reasons are very sufficient, confusing the army's mind, spreading rumors, killing for treason, and even family members far away in the imperial capital will be held accountable.
Therefore, after the execution of some people, the relevant remarks have been transferred to the underground, and only brothers who can really be trusted can whisper a few words in private.
However, violence is not the solution, and the more severe the oppression, the more intense the resistance.
"All paper confiscation!"
"These are the enemy's tactics, and they must not be spread around!"
The Overseer apparently realized the importance of the matter, and took action to collect the paper, facing the fierce expression of the Overseer, the soldiers' expressions looked a little angry, and then after a while, they honestly handed over the paper, but their expressions had become silent.
"Does this really work? Just a little riot, and it was suppressed so quickly, does it really work......" At the back of the crowd, Garr looked at Ari and asked with some curiosity.
"It's better to be suppressed. Ari smiled and turned to walk back.
Gal touched his head, a little confused about what Ari meant, turned to Joffrey and asked, "Why did Ari say that it was good to be suppressed, and the soldiers didn't resist, so what's the use of us doing these things?"
"Not resisting doesn't mean it's useless. Joffrey smiled mysteriously and turned to chase Ari away.
Gal's face darkened, and he directly reached out and grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back: "You tell me clearly, what the hell is going on." ”
Joffrey was pulled back by Gal and said helplessly: "If it weren't for the facts, why would those Overseers move so quickly and take all the papers back, what does this mean?"
"Does that mean they're weak?" replied Gal after a moment's thought.
"That's right, it's a weak heart!" Joffrey nodded and said, "Because these things are all true, they are afraid of the soldiers talking about it, but the more they are afraid, the more the soldiers will think about whether this is true, and they will plant a seed of doubt in their hearts if they didn't expect it, and then, Ari will also make a move, water and fertilize this seed, and then wait for the seed to take root and sprout......"
Exactly as Joffrey expected.
The next day, at the same time, Ari led the team to the outside of the city again, and with the rumbling sound of cannons, a new round of notes fell on the city again.
"The one who killed you must have come from the country that your heart yearns for!"
"You chose loyalty, but he betrayed you!"
“......”
The font is also blackened and slanted, the same blood red, except that the title has become incendiary, not as direct as on the first day.
However, in the face of these words, the reaction of the five empires was even more intense, and a soldier was only turned in a little late, and then he was found out by the overseer team, and he was killed as an example, which was treated as a typical treatment.
The soldiers were even more silent, and in the next few days, Ari would have people blast paper into the sky above the city walls every day, and the five empires were annoyed in the face of this routine, and sent people out of the city several times, but they were waited for by the Chaman Empire, which had been waiting for a long time, and the losses exceeded 10,000 people a few times, which further proved the truth of a rumor that had been defined as a rumor.
A few days later, Ai Rui estimated that the effect was almost over, and suddenly said with a smile: "It's almost time to close the net, let's make a big move, I estimate that they have reached the point of exhaustion, and if they don't make a move, they should fight against the water." ”
With Eri's order, the magic guide cannon was fired again, at this time, the overseer team had no intention of collecting, since everyone had no intention of resisting, they were too lazy to do this kind of useless work, anyway, no one dared to discuss these topics publicly, and those who dared to discuss it had already been reincarnated.
"Great news, Atlanta City grain delivery!"
"Shocked, food is delivered for free!"
"Escape from the Empire and join Atlanta, regardless of nationality, everyone has a chance!"
"One person escapes, give a job, ten people escape, ten gold rewards!"
"There are many more benefits for officers to join!"
“......”
Seductive signs were scattered all over the city, and by the time the Imperial military brass reacted, it was too late, and almost everyone had already gotten the news.
The three empires of the Dark Alliance have secretly come together to discuss a solution.
Bang!
"Atlanta City has gone too far, and when it gets past this time, Atlanta City must be destroyed!" said an officer of the Besse Empire slapping the table fiercely and in a vicious tone.
An officer of the Celestial Empire shook his head and said: "If you want me to say, you should have retreated a long time ago, the empire has already passed the plan, but it is not easy to retreat now for the sake of a small profit." ”
"I don't see that your Silri Empire has retreated, and I don't want to make more gains. Someone sneered in secret.
"Now is not the time for sudden ridicule, we have to come up with a solution. Someone advised.
"The empire is estimated to be unable to count on it, and now there are only two ways, one is to retreat directly with some people and abandon the vast majority of people. Another way is to gather the masters of the three empires to form a grain transport team to transport grain from the surrounding cities. ”
"I think it's better to gather the strong and bring back the grain......"
"Part of being able to retreat is part of ......"
"How can you give up, this is the lives of a million people!"
"What can you do if you don't give up, at this point, you must give up, otherwise everyone will be left here, not to mention, even if the strong carry grain, how much can it transport, can so many people eat? In the end, it is not the same result!"
In the conference room, the officers of the three empires quarreled fiercely, but in the back, the officers who supported the strong to form a team to transport food slowly became silent.
It's not that they want to give up, but they have to.
Even if they belong to the same dark alliance, there are contradictions between the three major empires, and even if there are no contradictions, it is impossible to be of one heart and one mind, and how to distribute the grain that will be transported back at that time is another topic that cannot be argued.
"But if they give up, once they surrender, I'm afraid that the Chaman Empire will get several main legions for nothing!" said someone worriedly.
"It's not the same if you don't give up, every day people run away in groups, if you don't leave now, you can't leave when you want to go, you are all pillars of the empire, it's a pity to fold here......"
As the meeting progressed, the opinions of the parties gradually became unified, and the decision to retreat was already an irrevocable decision, but before that, they had to do a lot of things.
"The news has come back," Fina walked into the city lord's office with an excited face, looked at Ari and said, "Those people from the Dark Alliance are going to run, only 100,000 people will go back, and the remaining legions will be sent to attack the Star Luo Empire and the Phantom Cloud Empire." ”
"The video was recorded?"
"It's been recorded, and it's been passed back, I've watched it again, as long as it's announced, the three imperial armies will inevitably mutiny!" Fina had excitement in her eyes, watching the impossible gradually become a reality, this is a magic that only Ari has!
Ai Rui shook his head: "Don't worry, when they fight with the Star Luo Empire Phantom Cloud Empire, we won't be too late to make a move, so that the situation on the continent will become more delicate, by the way, how about the Star Luo Empire and the Phantom Cloud Empire? ”
Fina shook her head and said, "No, they are very cautious, there is no evidence to prove it!"
"Then leave them alone for the time being, let the Chaman Empire bite them, and we will receive the army of the Dark Alliance first. ”
"Yes. Fina nodded, thinking of the question that had been reported recently, and suddenly asked, "When you provoked before, did you promise on paper that as long as you join the Atlanta City camp, you can be qualified to join Atlanta City?"
"Yes, there is such a thing. Ari nodded.
"That's right, aren't a lot of people running away these days? ”
"Where is it so easy, I remember what I wrote was that there is an opportunity to join, and you have to go through screening and assessment to have this opportunity, how can any person be qualified. ”
"Is there really nothing wrong with that explanation?" asked Fina.
"Of course, this is completely in line with Atlanta's style," Ari said confidently, "Let them understand the way Atlanta City does things in advance, otherwise they will suffer a big loss when they trade with others, and I am helping them."
