Wu Xin's control of Zuwara again went smoothly as last time.

There was not even a figure like the second Godalfi here, and inside and outside the city, more than a dozen powerful factions were fighting each other.

gave Wu Xin a chance to break it easily.

He rejected the suggestion of the Murray-Hassan emissary to help him contact the pro-Hassf forces among the warlords, and instead attacked the strongest forces in the city based on the intelligence of the female knight Deverlich.

He had more than four hundred soldiers, and two hundred camels, and these tribes were not as strong as the Godafi tribes.

After all, there is no such big oasis as large as Tripoli near Zuwara.

The areas that were able to develop into metropolises in Wu Xin's time made sense, and the best water and soil could carry those populations.

After a short battle, some of the largest warlords in the region were completely destroyed.

After entering the city, Wu Xin met the female knight of Devreich who had been lurking in the city for a few days, she usually needed almost no food and water, and could eat a hundred pounds of meat at a time, and then she could go without food for two months.

You can sleep deeply for three days in a row, and if necessary, you can go without sleep for half a month.

Wu Xin doubted that she could sleep all winter.............

Without those human needs, it would not be easy to be exposed, and there would be no need for agents and safe houses to prepare in advance.

And because of the change in skin color, the appearance of the female knight of Devlich is not so prominent among the residents of the Black Continent.

At least at night with a hood is no problem.

By the time Wu Xin entered the city, the mental state of the female knight Deverichy was also good, and the biggest problem in the latent work was that there was a lot of pressure, but she was not afraid of the barrier of the city wall, unless there was a large amount of manpower, even if she was discovered, she would not be able to catch her, and she had such an ability. So the problem of stress is also resolved.

In conclusion, the Demon Hunter's combat power against demons and demons is uncertain, but it is clearly good as an Underdog.

"Have you killed all the people who saw your ability?" Wu Xin didn't ask her what available refuge she had, he had more than 400 soldiers, and it was more than enough to suppress a city with a total of less than 3,000 inhabitants.

As long as you can control the situation. Naturally, there will be refuge.

Cassano and Steglenburg were dividing into two teams, rapidly advancing towards various points in the city, and Wu Xin led the cavalry to suppress the formation.

Before parting, he also warned Cassano and Steglenburg: "Don't kill innocents indiscriminately, try to fight only militants, we have limited troops, and don't rush to put out the fire, just rescue the supplies to the area I designated." ”

The city of Zuwara has few inhabitants, and Wu Xin does not intend to keep the entire city. He was going to trade the lure of nearby nomads to the port of Tripoli.

The city's reserves are even less, but Wu Xin still has to collect supplies as much as possible.

"Those who possess booty will be punished severely, and I will give bonuses to soldiers according to the amount of harvest, but it must be distributed uniformly after the war." Wu Xin's policy of conquest was actually brutal, but even so, Wu Xin had to remain disciplined and should not allow his backbone troops to be directly involved in the robbery under any circumstances.

It is most dangerous to indulge the army in indiscriminate killing of innocents. The ferocity of the army can only be vented on the enemy, otherwise the monarch will definitely reap the consequences.

The Lady Knight D'Evorich nodded.

Because Wu Xin must not indiscriminately kill innocent people.

She didn't tell Wu Xin that she was keeping it a secret. Killed a few completely innocent women and children, she did not hesitate when she killed, but she still regretted it afterwards.

Maybe those children can't understand the scene when she walks through the wall, right?

"Among the remaining factions, are there any forces that are relatively rich in materials and have some powerful soldiers as the backbone?" Wu Xin looked at the demeanor of the female knight of Deverich. Realizing that she needed her own enlightenment, Wu Xin decided to arrange this matter for the evening, there are many things, and the effect will be much better if you don't wear clothes to talk about it.

The delusion of the female knight of De Vrerich was interrupted. She replied: "No, the two forces with more materials have been prioritized, one of them seems to have several middle-level warriors, but none of them are heavily armored, and the leader is an elite-level wandering swordsman who has fled." ”

Wu Xin nodded, he had already paid attention to the local heroes here last time.

That wandering swordsman should be the front force arranged by Hayreddin, and the "elite" level wandering swordsman can not be naturally produced so quickly.

Relying on the support of the sea, it is possible for this force to eventually eliminate the opponents of other leaders who are only mid-level samurai, and most of the soldiers do not even have a first-level combat professional level.

Naturally, Hayreddin could also form a flanking attack on the city of Gabès northwest of Zuwara.

Inland production cannot be compared to that of the coast, and the situation of Murray-Hassan will be even worse.

Of course, this kind of is just a flyer, it has become the best, and it is not possible, and Hayreddin itself is unscathed.

In fact, this pirate captain is likely to be a thorn, and weakening his power will even have a little benefit for Hyreddin.

However, this arrangement was destroyed by Wu Xin.

It doesn't matter whether the supplies of these two forces come from the support of the Ottoman Empire and the Barbary pirates, or whether they have accumulated over the years, they are both his targets.

Their materials are the basis for Wu Xin's westward expansion, although he bought a lot of food, but Wu Xin never dared to forget the teaching of "eating the enemy for one minute, when I am twenty bells".

Military operations in this cold season have increased the importance of food for the enemy.

He had come to turn Zuvara into his supply base.

In this sortie, he did not establish a supply line.

All the supplies were the food of two hundred camels.

Eating the enemy's food, wearing the enemy's clothes, and using the enemy's weapons are the shortcuts to victory, not only allowing the port of Tripoli to save supplies for contingencies, but also reducing the enemy's resistance.

This is the situation that Wu Xin pursues, but Wu Xin also has to be prepared for unsmooth situations, and the supply line is the most important preparation for war.

"Okay, let's attack the Xingyue Temple in the city, you mentioned in your previous reply that a stalwart Xingyue priest is about to appear?" To be the enemy of a powerful religion is to face this trouble, among these enemies. There will always be people who can serve as leaders very quickly.

"Yes, he can perform two-level magic skills, and I can't kill him before the guards arrive." The female knight of Deverich, showing the way for Wu Xin. "But he doesn't have many supplies, so he should be the original force."

"Kessler's first seat has a point, and the war is relentless. If some buildings were burned down during the battle, it was normal, and I would make a cross fire strip in the middle of the city, dividing the city into four areas and trying to keep one of them. "After Wu Xin gave the order to the female knight, he urged the camels to advance towards the temple in the center of the city." For those who want to put out fires, you have to carefully distinguish whether there are enemies who are stubborn in the name of fighting fires. ”

Wu Xin's words were vague. However, in the battle against the tribes of Muhammad and Godafi, the female knight Devrichy did not miss all kinds of dirty work.

So the female knight of Deverichy can now understand the hint, apparently Kessler will set fire to the first seat, and she will attack the inhabitants who have organized the fire themselves.

Wu Xin absolutely did not allow the Xingyue Temple to be kept, and he did not hesitate to destroy three-quarters of the city for this.

Of course, as mentioned earlier, it was his plan to reduce Zuwara to a large military station.

Wu Xin's economic center is undoubtedly the port of Tripoli.

In the absence of a minimum of sea supremacy. This is Wu Xin's only option, and he can now hold the port of Tripoli safely. It's because he has extremely dense high-end combat power, and once he is dispersed, he won't be able to hold anywhere.

So Wu Xin didn't need this place to keep a city that he had to defend, he wanted to attract both population and trade to the port of Tripoli.

But the remnants of the local population of Zuwara are not his target, these are the population that has refused to emigrate.

Wu Xin will not only not give them another chance to join easily, but also make them pay the price for refusing the invitation to immigrate for the first time.

Wu Xin doesn't need a thriving Zuwara.

It's not far from the port of Tripoli. Wu Xin took the immigrants to the east, and it only took one day and one night.

There were enough caravans for camels to depart at dusk from several nearby without rest on the way. The next day, you will be able to reach the port of Tripoli before sunset.

They will be tired and hungry, and the rewards for trade will give the shopkeeper and his associates the purchasing power of the Chamber of Commerce, and just as the taverns and saunas of the port of Tripoli will have good business.

At this time, the company in Stegrenburg had already scattered the enemy and surrounded the Star and Moon Temple.

When Wu Xin arrived at the Xingyue Temple, Stegrenburg had already controlled the situation, and he reported to Wu Xin: "The leader of this force is a fourth-level priest, who originally controlled less than three hundred people, and one hundred and ten young people, but now there are nearly a thousand people in that temple. ”

In times of crisis, human beings will instinctively seek refuge in temples.

During the civil war in Zuwara, Manla, who was about to become a "backbone" priest, was able to shelter them.

He didn't mean to compete for hegemony, he just waited for the real winner to appear, and then he took refuge.

This attitude made all parties accept his status and gave him a little face.

But this time, Wu Xin not only won't give that full face, but will get rid of it quickly.

At this time, a man wearing a turban walked out of the Xingyue Temple.

They have seen that the situation is not right.

"Dear Hospitaller, we are willing to surrender, the Sultanate of Tunisia has long ignored us, we are willing to be obedient citizens of the Knights Hospitaller, we are willing to pay taxes to you, as long as you guarantee our safety and freedom of belief, we will immediately lay down our arms." The messenger wanted to say something more, but Wu Xin didn't have time to listen.

"Tell your chief, surrender now, and these of his people will be spared." Wu Xin interrupted the other party's words, and he refused to even save the life of that Manla.

Wu Xin's strength was much greater than the last time he came, and the enemy was much weaker, so he didn't need a mask of hypocrisy.

His conditions were not lenient at all, but his troops were destroying the enemy in the city like chopping melons and vegetables, so there was no need for him to offer better terms.

The messenger wanted to say more, but Cormona struck him hard at the feet.

He had no choice but to hurry back, a condition that of course was not agreed.

A burst of abuse erupted in the Xingyue Temple, they didn't understand the situation, and they were still expecting other forces to repel Wu Xin.

The truth is, Cassano and Ode Kessler are unstoppable.

As they argued, fires were already raging throughout the city.

In war. The use of fire to attack the enemy is the most common method, and from Wu Xin's standpoint, fire attack is even more preferred.

Cassano had already routed all organized resistance, and after taking control of the street intersections, there was no need to purge the remnants of the militants.

Kessler first took some oil and fuel collected from other parts of the city and joined Wu Xin.

Seeing that hay and sesame oil were poured on the temple, the Xingyue Temple was so crowded that it was overflowing. Instantly burst into a burst of crying.

Manla led dozens of his subordinates to charge again, and all the strong men and women who could wield weapons also followed.

This is, of course, a futile counterattack.

Stegrenburg, who was in full array, with half a company, easily repelled their attack without sweating at all.

He didn't even quite understand why Wu Xin still wanted to cast a "secondary flame blade" on him, although it was a first-level magic, but wasn't it a waste of money?

Casting spells is expensive, and it's not something that the caster knows.

But he didn't object to it, the sword with fire slashed Manla seriously.

"We surrender. Unconditional surrender. "Seeing that the cavalry reserves around Wu Xin didn't move at all, the messenger who came to surrender just now said in a panic that he was a third-level warrior and was also seriously injured at this time." It's okay to be a slave, don't set fire. ”

Wu Xin nodded, and added: "If you can find a family member in my army, you don't have to be a slave." ”

In Wu Xin's army, there were dozens of immigrants from Zuwara. They had been resistant to this kind of killing, and they looked at each other. Several of the officers were a little worried about the knives in their backs.

But after Wu Xin allowed each of them to come out of his own relatives, a violent cheer erupted.

Although each relative, Wu Xin, asked them for six months' military salary, which was six talers, and each soldier could only be limited to three relatives and friends.

Although they didn't know Wu Xin's entire plan, they were still a little conscious of the fact that they were second-class citizens in Wu Xin's group.

But Wu Xin just wants them to know that it is also beneficial to be a second-class citizen.

Happiness often comes from comparison. The migrants in Wu Xin's army often debated with their relatives and family about whether to emigrate a month ago.

At that time, most people thought that since Amin was finished, why did he leave his homeland?

Now, Wu Xin helped them win the argument. They get a full sense of superiority and happiness.

Although Wu Xin said that the limit is three, in fact, as long as it is indeed a close relative, then any officer can ask for instructions, and the company captain can be lenient.

He's in the city, you forgive other people's younger brothers and sisters, but what's the matter if you want to kill your nephew?

The limit is just set for someone to flood with kindness and save people casually.

Those who found relatives and friends in Wu Xin's army cried and laughed, and those who couldn't find it were only crying.

"That Manla, there is a nephew in our army............" Stegrenburg's words surprised Wu Xin, you also surrendered?

However, he quickly decided: "The promise made publicly cannot be changed, as long as he is willing to take immediate refuge in the Lord of the Flame, he can live." ”

Others can slowly convert and even continue to believe in the Lord of the Stars and Moon, but the priest cannot.

Wu Xin actually has no need to oppose this matter, a pastor who is on the verge of defection can make his subordinates think confused, which is beneficial to Wu Xin's assimilation and absorption.

Moreover, even if it is only a fourth-level priest, there is a high chance of dying during the transformation ceremony, and before and after the change, the greater the gap between the god camps, the greater the chance of death.

Although the camp of the elemental gods is absolutely neutral, any priest has a chance to survive the conversion ritual in theory, but the other party is a priest of the Lord of the Star and Moon, so this chance is really small.

But the survival ** still got Manla to agree, and under the auspices of Kessler's head, he performed an extremely painful ritual.

To the surprise of Wu Xin and Kessler, not only did he not die, but he also retained part of the priesthood.

A new Vulcan priest was born, which was supposed to make Wu Xin happy, and he got a new priest with little faith.

However, he saw that the Xingyue believers around him were also full of relief, even cheering, and his face was gloomy again.

'Obviously apostasy, and still have such great prestige?' ’

Wu Xin didn't care that he kept a few priest ranks, and he whispered a few words to the female knight of Deverich, asking her to focus on this guy.

The fire had already risen, Wu Xin was riding a camel, and the firelight illuminated his expressionless face.

A warm current flowed through him.

He does love fire.

Illuminate the world, bring warmth, and send fear.

Wu Xin didn't look long before he rode away, and he had to send more fear to the enemy.

The late winter of 1534.

Zuwara, an important town on the southern shore of the Mediterranean, became the sacrifice of a great sacrifice.

After a night of fire, the city ceased to exist, and only a large fortified warehouse remained.

The inhabitants of the city, took the road to the port of Tripoli, a road that they refused to take a month ago.

This time, they had to go. (To be continued......)
