Chapter 171: Basic Control of the Situation

Wu Xin's aim was never just to destroy Muhammad's schemes, and to do so, he could have done it a long time ago.

He had the knights mingle with the natives, and the female knights of Devreich distributing relief food, not really hoping that friendship would lead to assimilation.

Not to mention the unrest of Sazastan, the natives who conspire in the cemetery, unaware that it is one of the places where Sazastan has the most activity.

The demigod lich made the remains of their ancestors into spellcasting materials, and by the way, they recorded their plots.

Everything is in Wu Xin's hands.

The reason why he risked having his internal enemies organized was partly because he had to wait for more immigrants to feel numerical pressure, but also because he could solve the problem once and for all, at least suppress it for a long time.

Not only will these Star Moon Sect immigrants and nomads who have many conflicts with him stop looking for trouble, but at the same time, they will also have to turn from a burden into a strength.

Therefore, in addition to digging deep into the crime of colluding with ogres, Wu Xin also arranged a conference to complain about grievances and turn over old accounts, which is the essence of Wu Xin's knowledge of traversers.

In this era, it will take another 400 years for anyone to understand the attacking power of this mutual disclosure.

A few of the trainees who could speak Xingyue had already done their homework, holding parchment copy and reciting aloud the confusing and frightening words on it.

What they announced quickly made the crowd forget its original intention.

"Amati, did you think your family's winter food was really burned by accident? It was this sanctimonious Noahli who sent your haystack on fire and forced you to sell him your camels and sheep at the lowest price. ”

"Hajbanula, when your father disappeared inexplicably, do you think he was really captured by pirates? That's Tuturusu, and then he took your family's land and slave girls! ”

"Babaj, do you know how you lost your lawsuit against Hadjini? It was Hagini who gave his wife to the old man to sleep with. Lao Manla slept with someone's wife, so naturally he wanted to award your house to someone else. ”

Those witnesses then reaffirmed their testimony, and although most of it was only one-sided, the facts themselves were facts, and the victims often had doubts and speculations, and they did not need evidence. All it takes is a third party to corroborate.

Of course, Wu Xin doesn't just rely on facts.

"He was plotting with his son in that dark room, he said..............."

"That lackey he instructed him to be sure to give your beloved wife to .........."

These details cannot, of course, be true, but they are essential.

Wu Xin carefully selects the cases, which are then supplemented by Ode Kessler, and the real "propaganda" is the art of supplementing the facts and sublimating them.

"Hot Shouzao" has a lot of experience in propaganda issues, and he did this in Europe, so Wu Xin put him in charge of this important work.

To make the victims even angrier. It is necessary to make those who have nothing to do feel fear and sympathy.

Facts are important, but those dramatic episodes are also indispensable, although these details can be known by a little thought, it is impossible for a third party to know, but at this time, the most lacking thing for the victim is not the ability to think.

As more and more processed facts came out, the internal cohesion of the Xingyue believers was completely crossed.

How Muhammad's efforts over the past few weeks have offset the old and new hatreds that have accumulated over the past few years and decades.

In the past, everyone was suspicious of the local tyrants and inferior gentry. The rebellious local tyrants and inferior gentry were completely exposed.

Part of the content was added by Wu Xin, but on the whole, it was all facts that could no longer be true. The gentry and the local tyrants among the nomads in the Zuwara region had almost similar behavior.

The evidence is still not very strong, but does it matter?

A great commotion quickly ensued in the crowd, and the oppressed lower classes of the Star-Moon followers no longer hated the infidels, but were aroused to hate their wealthy neighbors.

In the beginning, it was just the victim attacking the enemy. Later, all the wealthy Xingyue Sect gentry fell into the vast sea of the People's War.

They all had their own prepared weapons, all kinds of knives and wooden sticks, which were useless against Wu Xin's regular troops. But when used to kill each other, the effect is just right.

"They claim to be your parishioners, and they read the books in a dignified manner, but in reality they only care about your land, your flock, your wives. Today, my compatriots, I want to avenge you! Kessler was the first to smash Mohammed with a hammer, despite his own serious injuries.

The soul of Pastor Muhammad, who had been choked by the throat and unable to speak, was sucked out at once.

Wu Xin had already retreated into the shadows, and he did not want to be exposed to such an untried death sentence.

The moment Pastor Xingyue died, he felt a sense of pleasure infused into his body, and there was a strength in his body, which grew slightly.

At the same time, Muhammad's body was ignited by the power of Kessler's head, as the rising sun had just risen over the horizon, as if his death had awakened the dawn.

Muhammad was Wu Xin's enemy, but Wu Xin admitted that he had no personal morals, and that most of the accusations made today are true, except that all the accusations against him are the purest lies in the real evidence.

Wu Xin did his best, and he didn't dig up any black material of Muhammad, but it was precisely because of this that the other party became his mortal enemy.

Wu Xin's arrangement deceived some people, but there were still some Xingyuexin who still trusted Muhammad, and they cried one after another, and the signs of commotion appeared again.

Wu Xin knew that this was the final difficulty, and it was also a difficulty that could not be overcome by trickery.

However, the ruse has bought him enough time, the sky is already bright, and next, he can speak with strength.

The Xingyue believers found that the number of people confronting them was no longer just a hundred soldiers, and the number of people on the other side was about the same as them.

As an experienced commander, Turgut was convinced that the opposite side was actually outnumbered by his own side, and unlike his own mixed men, women, and children, almost all of them were young and middle-aged.

'So many young adults?! Could it be that the port of Tripoli has been dispatched? 'Turgut couldn't understand. Even if there are indeed thousands of young people in the entire port of Tripoli, it is impossible to pull them out in one wave, right?

He had a good idea, these were European immigrants, and not long after they got off the ship, Wu Xin certainly hadn't had time to establish an order similar to that of the militia.

Only in Austria were the emigrants were already organized into several squadrons. Ladislaus's preparations were not targeted, but they really strengthened Wu Xin's strength.

This structure allows these immigrants to become a force that can be fought at once.

Of course, it is impossible to mobilize as quickly as real troops.

The emergence of a large number of European immigrants, coupled with the backbone of the Knights Hospitaller itself, those Xingyue Cultists who were unwilling to be controlled by Wu Xin were unable to resist.

If Muhammad had been launched a few days earlier, then Wu Xin would probably only be able to use his elite troops to attack a few rounds first, which would have left hatred, which could not be compared with the current effect.

Of course, in this little time, coordination and preparation can be carried out to this point. Muhammad was already very good, but he only knew himself and did not know the other, and after all, he died without a place to be buried.

With these European immigrants, Wu Xin was able to deter them.

Cassano led the troops of the Knights Hospitaller and rushed into the crowd of the Star Moon Sect, and arrested the leaders and village chiefs and elders, not according to the crime, of course, but according to the list collected by Wu Xin. In fact, Wu Xin arrested most of the literate people.

The other Xingyue believers watched as these people were handed over to Kessler for execution.

Wu Xin stirred up internal contradictions. It showed strength again.

Even if there were still some people who were suspicious of Wu Xin's killing of Muhammad, they could not be organized.

Those who still cried out for Muhammad did not understand the support of their clansmen, and were pulled out one by one by Wu Xin's subordinates.

Kessler's first seat kept holding up the hammer he had been baptized in the primordial fire, and it kept falling.

There were more and more fireballs, and the sky was getting brighter.

"Your Excellency! Banzai! ”

"Thank you for avenging us!"

"Justice. Justice! ”

"Revenge! Avenge! ”

The first to shout was naturally Wu Xin's trust, they drove the emotions, and the Xingyue believers in the audience were gradually infected from the confusion at the beginning, and finally converged into loud cheers.

More divine power poured into Wu Xin's body. He even felt that now he could ignite the lives below the "backbone" with just a finger of his hand, and he could also promote anyone to become the priest of the Lord of the Flames.

He has this power, the power to kill and kill, and turn stones into gold.

Wu Xin did his best to suppress this huge impulse.

"Awesome............"

Turgut had completed the observations given to him by Hayreddin, and he had an assessment of Wu Xin's abilities.

It's just that his mission has not been completely completed, and it is not easy to bring this information back to Tunisia.

Mage Alwyn Helsing had no other job, he simply observed the crowd with the caster's sharp gaze.

Several of the subordinates of Turgut, who had always protected him, had high-class camels, and they all behaved in a quiet and orderly manner, looking out of place in the noisy crowd.

Although these pirates have the experience of following Turgut disguised as merchant sailors and stepping on the coastline, they can fully integrate into the daily life of the villagers on the coast

But after all, they are only good commandos and not qualified spies, operating in the enemy's territory,

This exposed them to Helsin's observations.

He quietly informed Wu Xin and Cassano that Ode Kessler alone would continue to execute the enemy, while the others led the troops and began to surround Turgut.

However, Wu Xin's transfer was not able to hide from the experienced Turgut, and the battle-hardened old pirate realized that he might be in danger through the change in the flow of people.

He had seen enough information and thought it was time to leave, believing that the fine camels he had just obtained from the royal garden of Tunis would be able to get him out of this predicament.

But a loud shout suddenly appeared in his mind: "Who are you?!" ”

This soul attack did not break Turgut's will, and as a good samurai in the "core" rank, he withstood Sazastan's questioning.

But the pirates standing beside Turgut immediately became nervous, and one of Turgut's best men could not bear it.

Sazastan's onslaught swept through the souls of the crowd, after finding a weaker enemy. Quickly turn a wave into a torrent and attack one point hard.

This is one of Turgut's most fierce men.

He was always cruel and ferocious, once killed dozens of Spanish sailors, single-handedly routed an entire fishing village self-defense force pirates, and suddenly fell a camel without a sound.

"Ah, the notorious Barbary pirates? Oh. Commander Turgut, he has admired his name for a long time. "Sazastan quickly harvested the soul of an enemy and got a partially fragmented message, which he quickly spliced together." Did His Highness Highness Hareddin ask you to come and visit us? Then don't rush to leave. ”

"Muhammad's collusion with the Barbary pirates is unforgivable!" Wu Xin paid more attention to the level than catching the enemy, and he immediately realized that the appearance of these pirates could become his own weapons. "These Barbary pirates, let's catch them together!"

Wu Xin's shouts did not cause anger among the Xingyue believers in the first place. It's fear.

Who is not afraid of the word "Barbary pirates" for all the good people who live on the shores of the Mediterranean?

Although he is known by many as the sea knights of the Star Moon Sect, there are many heroes who have made significant contributions to the Star Moon Sect and their own nation among their leaders, especially the elder brother of Hayreddin, Daddy Aru, who is indeed the savior of the hundreds of thousands of Star Moon Sect on the Iberian Peninsula.

In the generation that had just ended the Reconquest movement, faced the flames of religious fanaticism in Spain. He has been active on both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar for many years, providing a boat of life for those Star-Moon Cultists facing persecution with all his strength.

Perhaps he had great selfish motives in doing so. In essence, it is to expand his strength, but it is definitely a lie to say that he does not have a strong sense of mission and honor.

Objectively, Father Aru and Hayreddin, who assisted and succeeded him, were indeed the lifesavers of those Star-Moon Believers, and their actions stood on the standpoint of the Star-Moon Sect. It is undoubtedly a heroic feat.

But on a broader level, a pirate is a pirate.

With the exception of the migrant ports and fishing villages that the Hayreddin brothers had single-handedly built as their bases, the other towns were harassed and attacked to a greater or lesser extent, and the damage suffered on the southern shore of the Mediterranean was actually compared to that on the other side. There is no essential difference.

It's just that the countries on the northern shore of the Mediterranean are generally more powerful than Morocco, Algiers, Tunisia, and Libya.

As a result, attacks on the north shore often require greater organization and scale, so the success of the major attacks was very impressive, and in fact, in general, the inhabitants of several weak countries on the south shore were also plagued by pirates.

Whether it is the production of hard farming, the catch of difficult fishing, or even the freedom of oneself and family, it will be lost overnight because of pirates.

The pirate rules that do not sell the followers of the stars and the moon are only partially observed.

Even Hayreddin can only completely control a limited number of elites, and he can't completely control those unorganized and undisciplined peripheral subordinates, not to mention that most of the so-called "Barbary pirates" are actually single-gang guys, and they do everything under the banner of Hayreddin.

In addition to the Algiers region, the inhabitants of the Star Moon Cult are also afraid of these pirates and have little respect for them, and they have little chance of government rescue and revenge, and those who dare to ambush the pirates' villages and towns will be retaliated against by the pirates very harshly.

So in the beginning, the first reaction of these residents when they heard about the appearance of the Barbary pirates was to be afraid.

Their fears didn't last long, though, for the pirates weren't fierce at all.

Although Turgut did not underestimate his strength, it was obviously unwise to resist in such a situation, so he chose to flee without hesitation.

They quickly escaped from the crowd, because of the crowd, Wu Xin did not use the fireball technique, and Helsin's spider web technique only trapped one enemy.

This result made Turgut's heart ache for a while, he had already lost two subordinates in a row, these were his most important subordinates, and it was difficult to replenish the battle.

However, greater losses are yet to come, and Wu Xin's killer weapon has always been Sazastan.

"Leave it all for me." The terrible voice of the demigod lich rang in the ears of the pirates again.

A dark cone of rays shot out of Sazastan's mouth, and then the pirates in front of him and many of the people around them felt a sense of detachment.

This is a fifth-level necromantic magic, "Fatigue Wave".

Turgut's men, as ordered by Sazastan, immediately lost the ability to flee and were quickly dragged off their camels.

Only Turgut avoided it in time and managed to get out of the way, but the camel under his crotch was larger than him, and one of its legs was swept by the light.

The camel suddenly lost the ability to run, and became able to walk slowly, as if it would be crushed by the Turgut at any time, which weighed more than a hundred pounds.

At this time, the female knight of Devlich wanted to activate the skill, but Wu Xin stopped her: "There is no need this time. ”

Cassano chased after him and slashed the camel's belly open with a single sword.

Turgut resisted for another half a minute, but it was in vain, and the attackers led by Cassano were able to take Turgut without the support of spells.

However, Wu Xin still unceremoniously used the "Secondary Flame Blade" twice.

Although Turgut resisted for another half a minute, he was finally outnumbered and was pressed to the ground by Wu Xin's subordinates.

Eventually, he was stripped of his armor and dragged back to the dungeons of the port of Tripoli. (To be continued......)
