Chapter 456: The History of Mercenary Blood and Tears (4)
After repeated negotiations, the alliance finally decided that 50,000 prisoners of war could be handed over to the Ogu family for management, but the Ogu family must approve the sale of the following three principles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
First: These 50,000 people, including the Agu family, cannot return to the homeland of the Gosa Kingdom, nor can they leave the sphere of influence of the Human Alliance;
Second: The Ogu family needs to establish an organization to manage 50,000 Godsa captives, 50,000 and the healthy men of their descendants must join this organization, provide services to the entire human society to atone for their betrayal of humanity, and they only get a reward for survival, because these 50,000 people are converted from soldiers, and they have established a cheap employment relationship with humans, so these 50,000 people are called mercenaries, and this organization is the mercenary union;
Thirdly, the ancient city of Aogu cannot build a city with fortifications.
The above three points are the bottom line that the human alliance can reach to make concessions, and the Agu family can only accept it, and finally after some consultation and negotiation, the Agu family chose a large area of mountains and hills within the Capra Pass, which is today's Austrogu City-State as their territory, which is also the result of considering the interests of all parties. For the Ogu family, the location of the ancient city of Okugu-state is convenient for them to manage their mines in the mountains, and the ancient city of Okugu-state is not far from the Gosza homeland - the Crescent Zone, so living here can at least satisfy the homesickness of the Gossa. However, the Capra Pass, which stands between the ancient city of Ogu and the Gosza homeland, will be controlled by the forces of the Human Alliance, and the Ogu family does not want to return to the Gosza with them.
As for the Human Alliance, the land in this area of the ancient city state of Aogu is barren, and the food produced in it is simply not enough to feed so many people, and they must rely on other forces to provide food, so as long as the supply of food is controlled, they are not worried that the ancient city of Aogu will break away from the control of the Human Alliance, in addition, the ancient city state of Aogu is located in the northwest of the Yus Empire, and there is such a powerful force, which can also play a certain restraining role in the Yus Empire. Therefore, even if Emperor Yus the Great at that time had quite objections to this arrangement, he could not withstand the consensus of other forces, and in the end he could only be forced to accept it.
The deal with the Gosa country and the Gosas finally came to an end, and the Gosa king really wanted to cry without tears after learning the results of his own treatment, and what he regrets most now is that he laid down his arms and surrendered, but everything is already in the boat, he has no power and no soldiers in his hands now, and he has no bargaining qualifications at all, so he can only lead his family in a gray manner, flee to the south, and finally go incognito.
"My lord, why have I never heard that there is a fertile area called Crescent Moon to the northwest of Capra Pass. β
As Hollandster was about to finish this history, Alan suddenly asked. The reason why he asked this was because he had indeed seen records about the Gosa country in the history books, although he only mentioned it in passing, knowing that it was a country that lived on the sunset steppe and was later destroyed by orcs, but what kind of country it was, not only did he not find similar records in the books, but also from dealing with mercenaries and refugees, he had never heard of a fertile land northwest of Capra Pass that could be used for human reproduction, where there should only be deserts and grasslands, at most with some nomadic tents, otherwise why would the nomads flee to the southγ
"This matter is far from over, you continue to listen to me!"
Hollanster let out a long sigh and continued.
In order to prevent the resurgence of the Gozar Kingdom, the Holy See united with Yus and Higg for the final round of eradication, and they joined forces to give the mercenary guild the first mercenary mission, which was also the largest mercenary mission ever, although the Ogu family knew what this mission meant, but there was no reason to refuse.
So in the history of mercenaries, the first and largest mercenary operation began, under the supervision of nearly 100,000 elite troops of Yus and Higg, 50,000 mercenaries embarked on the road back to their homeland, but this time they did not go back to build their hometown, but to destroy the homeland that gave birth to them.
As the center of the Gosa country, the Crescent has fertile land, the fundamental reason is that when the Bisi River flows through here, it suddenly turns north, then turns south, and finally rushes east into the sea, the river forms a crescent-shaped outline on the grassland, and the land in the outline is nourished by the river water, coupled with the nourishment and irrigation of the upstream nutrients brought by the annual flooding of the river, so there is a land of fish and rice.
Therefore, the rulers of the Human Alliance believe that in order to completely solve the problems of the Gosa Kingdom and prevent the tragedy of the past from repeating, it is necessary to eliminate this crescent-shaped land of fish and rice that raises hundreds of thousands of Godsa sons and daughters, so that the Gosa Kingdom will completely disappear from the continent and never be resurrected. And the 50,000 mercenaries who went north came to do this, and under the watchful eye of the heavily armed army, they divided into small teams, ragged and barefoot, with tools made of bamboo poles and wood, and spent ten years digging a shortcut across the crescent zone, through which the Bissi River flowed directly to the east, without turning north.
On the day when the artificial river channel was opened, the water that poured into the new river channel was wrapped in the blood and tears of the mercenaries, rolling down, and the whimpering sound could be heard by people for dozens of miles, as if tens of thousands of people were screaming.
The original land of fish and rice lost the irrigation of the river, and soon withered and became a wasteland, and the Godsas living on it had to be uprooted and displaced, some of them migrated to the south of Capra Pass, many died on the way to escape, and the rest came to settle in the ancient city of Okugu, due to the lack of a source of livelihood, those who had the ability could only engage in mercenary professions, and those who did not have the ability could only go to the mines in the Capra Mountains and work in the dark mines. Some people chose to go east, stay in the steppes, and continue to live, and they became later nomads. The reason why the ancient city of Aogu is willing to accept refugees from the north today is that they are originally of the same race, and many residents of the ancient city of Aogu have received the same assistance.
When the story was over, there was silence in the room, Hollanster stopped talking, Alan was silent, only Herbert didn't know when he took out his cigarette pouch and smoked it, and a burst of cyan smoke rose from the cigarette pouch pot and floated in front of the map for a long time.
The country is broken by mountains and rivers.
The poor Godsas were only ruined because of the mistakes made by the rulers, but even the mountains and rivers of the past were buried with their own hands.
Who gave the victors the right to decide the fate of hundreds of thousands of losers, to serve them in slavery and service for centuries to come?
Is it God?
But doesn't God say "mercy, love, and equality"?
