Chapter 451: The abacus crackled
From now on, there will be no more "abandoned cities" in the land outside the law, it has been swallowed up by the "tide of terror", almost all the humans in the city have died in the mouth of monsters, and only a handful of people have managed to escape.
The destruction of the abandoned city cost the Governor not only all the fruits of his years of hard work, but also a great deal of men and equipment to the One-Eyed Vulture, whose most elite armoured troops, heavily armed hoplites, and heavily armored tanks, were all gone, leaving him with nothing left.
With the loss of such good things, it is uncertain whether the vulture castle can continue to sit firmly in the position of the powerful side of the lawless land, and his defeat in the abandoned city will sooner or later reach the ears of other forces, not to mention the big forces like the wolf's den and the mouse city, even those small force leaders who trembled in front of the one-eyed vulture before, it is estimated that they will have the idea of the vulture castle after a while.
Who doesn't know that there is an arsenal within the Vulture Castle's sphere of influence, after so many years of development, it has long since developed from a small workshop in the past, and has gradually developed into a real arsenal today.
In the land of chaos and disorder, guns and ammunition are the hardest currency, and the arsenal that can produce them is undoubtedly the most profitable cash cow.
The One-Eyed Vulture was still a very far-sighted man, and he had prepared for the worst when he decided to help the Governor defend the abandoned city, and for this reason, the One-Eyed Vulture even abandoned his bottom line of being a man for so many years, not to be a dog leg to others.
In fact, this thing is not the bottom line of the one-eyed vulture, if you really say anything about the bottom line, the one-eyed vulture has a bottom line, but it is not "don't be a dog leg for others", but a very simple two words, "live".
These two words are very simple to say, but if you want to live in a place outside the law, the effort required is definitely not something that can be done with a single movement, and it is precisely because of the hard work to live that the one-eyed vulture used to do everything in the past, doing many unscrupulous things to achieve the goal.
As a surprise "backup", the one-eyed vulture managed to push back Galahad, who was on the verge of killing Rebecca, and completed the deal he had previously discussed with Rebecca.
In fact, Rebecca was also a bit of a gambler with Galahad that time, and she wasn't sure if the one-eyed vulture would end up on her side, but when it was urgent, Rebecca felt that it was almost top, and who knew that she almost got off.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the one-eyed vulture, Galahad would have killed the seriously injured Galahad in the abandoned city, and that time it can be said that Rebecca picked up a life and came back, just because she walked so far before the ghost gate, Rebecca would have become more cautious, and returned to the new empire to find a helper for herself.
And the one-eyed vulture saved Rebecca, in exchange for the protection of the vulture castle by the new empire, don't look at this as just verbal protection, the new empire will not really send troops to maintain the safety of the vulture castle, but this is enough for the one-eyed vulture.
Hurt in the abandoned city, what the one-eyed vulture is afraid of is that in the next period of time, the rest of the small forces near the vulture castle will keep coming to harass and tempt, or simply make it clear that they want to tear the flesh off the vulture castle, and the last thing the vulture castle wants to deal with is this situation.
Although it is difficult for those small forces to really get any bargains from the Vulture Castle, the key is that their actions will greatly slow down the recovery of the Vulture Castle, and once the larger forces find an opportunity, the One-Eyed Vulture believes that those "old friends" will not show mercy to their subordinates.
Well, now, with a symbolic statement of the new empire, where are there still small forces that dare to brush the tiger whiskers of the new empire, which gives the vulture castle a chance to recuperate, as long as it does not move to the root, with the arsenal of its own sphere of influence, the vulture castle will sooner or later ease this breath.
In fact, the new empire originally wanted to send an army to be stationed around the vulture castle "temporarily" to provide protection for the vulture castle, and the one-eyed vulture was not a fool, and he said that if you really came, it would be uncertain whether the vulture castle would not be his own in the future, so of course he rejected the suggestion of the new empire.
However, since it has been protected by the new empire, the one-eyed vulture naturally has to obey the new empire to a certain extent, and when Rebecca and Moro have already embarked on the road north to the oasis, the new empire orders the one-eyed vultures to provide support.
After such a defeat, the manpower in the vulture castle is seriously insufficient, and the one-eyed vulture feels that if he sends a large number of people to support Rebecca, if the new empire has any bad ideas during this time, or if any blind force really dares to attack him under the prestige of the new empire, wouldn't the vulture castle be dangerous?
If you don't go, if you disobey the order of the new empire, not to mention whether it will provoke the new empire to send an army to crusade against you, even if someone revokes the statement of protection for yourself, presumably a large number of forces will come to you to trouble you the next day, and your previous efforts will be in vain.
This is the reason why the one-eyed vulture does not like to be a dog's leg and is too passive.
The one-eyed vulture thought about it, and finally made up his mind, leaving most of his men in the vulture castle to watch over his family, and only sending a small part of his men to support Rebecca and Morrow, in order to stop the mouth of the new empire, the one-eyed vulture decided to lead the support team himself.
This not only ensures that the vulture castle will not appear to be empty inside, but also gives the new empire enough face, after all, what is more face-saving than himself, the actual owner of the vulture castle, personally leading the team to support, as for the affairs of the family, the one-eyed vulture is fully entrusted to the governor.
Although the fall of the abandoned city has made the Governor still very depressed, the one-eyed vulture is quite relieved of his friend, he believes that the governor will definitely come out of this shadow, with him sitting in the vulture castle, the one-eyed vulture believes that there should be no stubble.
With all that in order, the one-eyed vulture left the vulture castle with one of his subordinates and went to the oasis on the border of the Extralegal Lands, where he was forced to serve as a dog's leg for the new empire.
