Chapter 718: Riot
The world is already in chaos like this, how can it be in chaos? In history, those famous emperors with their famous ministers are galloping across this land, and countless monarchs who have been invincible in the world have finally met their opponents here, and it won't be long before the land on the border of those great empires will be soaked in layers of blood, a heavy pile of corpses, and the historical figures who have lost their restraint will be the biggest destroyers in this world.
With Mai Linglong's vision, it is not difficult to see this not a distant future, but Zhao Gao's current meaning is obviously not just that, the scattered and broken tribes that the two of them saw along the way invisibly confirmed this point - many tribes have not even spared the very small children, and the women have died in battle, and a large number of corpses have not been buried, and they have been abandoned on this vast grassland together with the burned tents.
This is not a battle between tribes at all.
The barbarians of the steppe, because of the relationship between the barrenness of natural resources and the lack of necessary living materials, have never stopped plundering each other. Even among the same clan, it is difficult for the Khan to restrain himself from killing each other when necessary in order to keep himself alive. But even the most savage and uncivilized savages would never do anything to children and women, let alone let the corpses be abandoned at will.
This is not about benevolence and righteousness, but about the rules that have been left over thousands of years, and it is also due to interests.
Women and children, like cattle and sheep, are important possessions, and plundering itself is for resources, and killing this part is not at all in accordance with the rules of war on the steppe. What's more, the resources on the grassland are limited, and the few oases suitable for grazing are worthy of care, so even if the herders encounter a passerby who dies on the road, they will bury it and return it to the embrace of the gods. If you don't, if you anger the gods, the plague that will descend is likely to destroy your own tribe as well. Therefore, burying the bodies of comrades and opponents after the war is an important task without choice.
"It's the hands of the explorers. But why is that? Mak Linglong is not stupid, and after a few desires of it, she came to a conclusion. However, this does not match the news passed by Lao Ba, nor does it conform to any of the situations that were prejudged when the three of them planned at the beginning, and it looks more like a disaster.
Moreover, even if the Xiongnu, the overlord of the steppe, had reached the twilight of his life and had lost control of the entire wilderness, the situation would not deteriorate to such an extent in a short period of time.
You must know that the news I got not long ago was that Lao Ba had obtained a large amount of resources provided by the Central Plains, and with the tacit approval of the Xiongnu, with his personal charm, during the period of time when Zhao Gao and Mai Linglong left, there was already a faint atmosphere of establishing a new order.
"What the hell is the eighth guy doing?" Mak Linglong's anger was tinged with unease. From the very beginning, the old people attached great importance to the construction of the intelligence network, but the limitation of distance itself was the biggest obstacle. Between Xianyang and the old camp, even if the road is smooth and fast, it will take more than half a month, in other words, the news from Lao Ba was at least half a month ago.
This is still no one to interfere, if someone is deliberately designing, then this time may be extended for a long time.
"The top-level power we left behind is insufficient, and with the instigation of external forces, after the explorers rioted, Lao Ba's instantaneous countermeasures were too weak." Zhao Gao said while slightly examining the wounds of the corpses that had not yet completely decomposed, his expression calm.
The composition of these wounds is varied, and with Zhao Gao's current observation ability, it is easy to see the residual strength of some skills from them, and some people have been killed in a posture of surrender. There is only one possibility that this situation may be caused, and that is that the explorers need to complete the tasks assigned to them by their respective spaces in this way.
After enduring it for so long, the space finally couldn't hold it anymore, and firmly grasped the claws that could penetrate into their chariots.
This is a conspiracy that does not need to be said.
Space throws the explorers to this world to which they belong, and if these people succeed, then it is equivalent to increasing the authority of Space in this plot world in disguise; If you die in battle, it doesn't matter, it is equivalent to integrating the rules with your own mark into this world, and it can also increase the possession of authority: without the subjective rejection of the will of the world, this process cannot be reversed at all.
This is the reason why each space still invests money in this heaven and earth even though it knows that it will be absolutely suppressed.
No one is a fool, and even if there is no benefit to the second generation of gods derived from the underlying rules, it is difficult to use coercive means to make each space devote itself to the battle. The so-called bustling world is all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, and putting such an ownerless but huge plot world is the best bait in itself.
"Not good!" Mai Linglong doesn't have the intelligence like Zhao Gao, so she can look at the whole situation from a higher perspective, but it is not too difficult to judge the outcome of the explorer riot. The rapid expansion of the old clan's power is partly based on the use of the simplified version of the space to gather a lot of explorers and even temporarily incapacitated pioneers, once these people have different intentions, then the situation of the old eight will be very difficult.
In terms of combat power, the eighth should be true, but it can rise to the level of territory, and many times it cannot be solved by relying on combat power alone.
"It's not that bad, at least not yet." Compared with Mai Linglong's anxiety, Zhao Gao's expression is much calmer, on the one hand, he has enough confidence in Lao Ba, on the other hand, the worst news that he is most worried about has not yet come, which means that the situation is not out of control for the time being.
Despite this, he still used a little force on his legs, no longer pity the horse from the Qin State under his crotch, and increased his speed by three percent.
"Well, because of the binding of interests, the eighth can at least win over the core part of the vested interests, and this part of the people is often the strongest group." Mai Linglong quickly followed, and her tone was much calmer. Compared with horsemanship, she is better than Zhao Gao, who is familiar with various combat skills, including horse generals, but unfortunately Zhao Gao is well-versed in a hundred miles, and from the perspective of rules, her riding skills don't seem to be much better.
Fortunately, she has become accustomed to Zhao Gao's surprise, especially after seeing Zhao Gao's determination, it is conducive to her thinking more clearly and no longer misled by the scene in front of her.
Compared with just explorers, Lao Ba holds three historical cities and has the support of dozens of tribes, and the guards left by the Xiongnu and the materials given by the Jin State can be regarded as a force to be reckoned with, even if it is for the space that has just set foot here, it may not be too inferior.
Maybe it will be inevitable that he will be in a hurry at first, but as long as he reacts and stabilizes his position, it will not be a short time for him to fail with the general momentum.
These explorers infiltrated the periphery to attack and kill the small tribes to complete the mission, which just proved that the old eight did not leave much space for them in the core area of the inner circle.
"The most important thing is that since these people are spatial shots, the power of fighting for authority is still above all else. Since it is to snatch the cake and not to smash the cake, what can the old eight do if they are robbed of some if they are not checked for a while, can the old eight have the 'righteousness of stiffness' and can't get out? Can't we get it back? Zhao Gao added with a smile, which made Mai Linglong laugh dumbly.
The old guy's team was sideways at the beginning of this world, and those explorers were just minutiae, maybe they could be in the snow at the beginning of the expansion, but now it's the icing on the cake at best. If you really take yourself as a thing, you don't mind showing what real killing is.
Since it was a riot, it didn't seem like a bad thing to kill a group of people who incidentally completed the purge of internal unstable forces.
When Mai Linglong secretly made up her mind in her heart, she didn't see the hidden worry hidden in Zhao Gao's smile, which curled the corners of her mouth.
If each space has been granted the authority to devote more explorers or release more missions, then how can the power behind the space stand idly by?
Confusion, once it starts, is more than that.
