One hundred and twenty-one incitement
After receiving the information conveyed by Moon Lingjiu, Gu Wu convened the first joint combat meeting of the Quezas International Peacekeeping Corps to assist the Tiger King Army and the Tiger King Army in Bronze Wall City.
There were not many attendees, Bone Dance, Caesar, Istlaus.
"What does the husband mean, do you understand?"
"Queen God, is my lord asking us to stabilize the situation of the flames as soon as possible?
Caesar, who received the gesture from Bone Dance's eyes, explained directly: "Moo, it means to replace the Tiger Clan rebels and the government army to form a north-south confrontation, or control the entire territory. If it's just to replace the Tiger rebels in the confrontation, we need to change territory with the government forces, after all, our main gate is with them. ”
"Understood. Judging from the current situation in the territory of Fury, it is not very difficult. Istlaus thought for a moment and said.
The reality is also as she said, the "traveling merchants" of the nine places continue to gather the wealth of the people and the government in Quesast and exchange it for supplies to transport back to Quesas, which may not feel much for a short time, but the problem is more serious when the war continues.
At this time, the people in power and the vested interests of the angry flame looked at the cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, and even moon cancer in their hands... What's the use? It's impossible to give these to soldiers as weapons, go ahead, smoke them to death, and sugar to kill them.
The immediate consequence of the collapse of the economy is the instability of the people's hearts, and since the last encounter, the Tiger King's army has firmly controlled the Bronze Wall City, stuck like a wedge in the gap between the lion and tiger clans.
And all this time, the orcs who fled here from the south or the north have all proved Eastlaus's words, and the situation of the furious flames has been eroding at an unbelievable speed.
"Queen God, do you already have an idea?" Thinking of this, Eastlaus no longer hesitated, her purpose was to ensure that the orcs were free from the control of the fire element and the filthy element, to ensure the continuation of the race, and then to maintain the relative independence of the flame as much as possible, so now she must rely on Quisas. Otherwise... Although the Tiger King's army seems to be gaining momentum, if Quezas withdraws logistical support, everything will collapse.
A series of changes over the past year have made the already difficult production of Fury Flame almost deserted... Otherwise, there would be no large-scale refugee flows.
(nods)"
"That's... I am ready to be at my disposal. Eastlaus bowed her head slightly, in the eyes of the old-fashioned orcs, she was a traitor who had accepted the moon and sworn allegiance to Moon, and in that case, she only had to achieve her goal.
Black Yao Imperial Calendar, 10**** year, winter 1 month.
There was a little friction in the Bronze Wall City. The reason was that the orcs who had fled to join the Tiger King's army were hungry and stole the rations of the Quezas Guard. According to the military law of Quesas, those who steal military rations should be beheaded, originally, the city was beaten down by other people's dark elves, and it was indeed stolen, and it was just a dead person, and it was not a big deal.
The bad thing is that the thief claims to be the generalissimo of the Tiger King's army, the uncle of Eastlaus! And the Quezas soldier with a little bad taste takes the thief to find Eastlaus with the mentality of reading jokes!
As a result, I didn't expect that this thief was really an uncle!
At this time, the uncle did not give up, saying that he risked his life and encouraged the whole clan to defect to the Tiger King's army, in order to work hard for the future of the orcs, but before he came, he was first deducted from the hat of a thief, and he was about to be killed, which made the majority of orcs sad.
His words were sharp, his voice was full of tears, and he never mentioned the theft of military rations. I was really wronged.
Istrlaus didn't see his uncle stealing, so he naturally believed in his relatives more, but why...
The Dark Elves only recognized Bone Dance, so after some argument, it developed into a situation where Istlaus led his troops to surround several of the big men of the Quesas Guard.
The entire Bronze Wall City was garrisoned by the First Legion of the Guards, and the support arrived in minutes, disarming the orcs of the Tiger King's Army, and it is said that although both sides were very restrained in the process, there were still some casualties.
In the days that followed, word spread and the trend was uncontrollable. One of the most annoying things for the Guards is that Quezas is a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken, and he is not at ease, and he definitely has the intention of destroying the Flame, otherwise a group of dark elves will come to the Flame Civil War to join in the fun?
For the Guards, our lord has been calculated by the lion and tiger tribes many times, and now that Quezas has some strength, it is only natural to look for trouble! Moreover, it is also the Tiger King's army that begged Quezas for support, and now that the people are here, the logistics are given, and they have ended up with a name of uneasiness and kindness? Who will accept it.
Fortunately, the commander-in-chief Gu Wu has absolutely strong dominance, and he has stubbornly suppressed the dissatisfaction within the guards.
And Eastlaus also found the person who spread the rumor by thunderous means, but according to the grapevine, he did not punish the other party.
Five days later, the two main legions of the Tiger King Army entrenched in the Bronze Wall City, combined with the two main legions that came from the northwest camp one after another, and went south together.
And at this time, there was another rumor, although Bone Dance and Eastlaus were harmonious on the surface, in fact, the contradiction was already very deep. How could the pervasive Nine fail to inform her of the methods of the Hindlaus with the instigators, and how could the Bone Dance representing Quezas allow others to fool her so easily?
The Tiger King Army was nominally to conquer the Tiger Clan rebels, but in fact it was driven out of the Bronze Wall City by Bone Dance! Come to think of it, Lao Tzu worked so hard to get the city, and he had to let some irrelevant people chew the root of his tongue by his side, who would be happy?
And the next action of the Quezas Guards made some people with bad intentions even more excited.
According to the agent's report, for the next five days, the Quezas Guards were quietly, secretly, and quietly withdrawing from Copperwall!
Although the two heavy infantry brigades were still stationed outside the city, the only heavy cavalry had secretly moved to the northwest, and the secret agent judged from the baggage, the purpose of the march, etc., that the other party was to withdraw from the territory of Fury Flame and turn back to Quesas!
Moreover, judging by the various preparations and atmosphere in the city, it is very likely that Quezas intends to sweep away the Bronze Wall City and retreat with supplies!
Ersquik snorted, trying to sort out what's behind the information.
Isn't it because of a thief who steals military rations, no matter who it is, how could there be such a big gap between Bone Dance and Eastlaus? It has even reached the point of evacuating the territory of Fury with supplies? This is very unreasonable.
But Ersquik thought about it again, why did the dark elves help Eastlaus in the war? She Istlaus did not promise her, besides, the lord of Quezas had several wives, and people did not necessarily look down on her. It must have been for some other reason that the troops were sent to help the tigress.
The question is here, what are the other reasons for this? Ersquik didn't know why, but he knew that the arrogant Dark Elves were so vilified and suspicious of the people they helped, and they couldn't stand it. So the withdrawal of Quezas is quite reasonable in a sense.
Ersquik is big-headed, very big-headed. In order to get the secret method of the Tiger Clan's new madness, he helped the Tiger Clan fight against the government army, and as a result... Forced and angry, Ersquik led people directly to Simba's government army.
What Momo didn't expect was that the government army also guarded against him like thieves, and the logistics supplies were given week by week, for fear that he would do something unexpected. After a slight loss after the last battle, the government army now only urged him to send troops to fight the Tiger King Army, and did not mention the logistics supply.
The most infuriating thing is that the troops escorting the grain are near his mountain tribe, and it is clear that he will send troops before he is willing to send the food.
How could this make Ersquik feel good? This feeling of being controlled by people everywhere made him want to die.
Therefore, what happened in the Bronze Wall City made him extremely concerned, first, the location he was in now was not far from the Copper Wall City, and if he marched with all his strength, he could reach it in three days with the endurance of the Minotaur.
Second, the strength of the Bronze Wall City is not sufficient, although those dark elves are good at defending the city, but the first legion Ersquik still knows better, and there are two heavy infantry brigades in its configuration, one heavy cavalry brigade, and the other two are mixed arch demon brigades, in general, they are better at field warfare, and if they defend the city... Moreover, now the heavy cavalry has also withdrawn.
The materials in Copperwalled City can solve the problem of his mountain tribe being controlled by people, which makes Usquik very greedy, but the cunning of the dark elves makes him have to consider the possibility of Copperwall City becoming a copperwall trap.
However, in the end, Ersquik left the stronghold with his troops and went straight to Copperwall.
It wasn't that he was going to gamble on it, but because other intelligence agents had brought in a piece of news. Ersquik judged that it was precisely for this reason that the Tiger King's army and Quezas had a gap, and then they were separated.
"Patriarch, the Lord of Quezas, whose purpose is to take out Simba's government forces. When he left the Storm Leader to participate in the butterfly, Simba didn't block him, and then he kept calculating. But Eastlaus ... But they want to recapture Tiger Ridge. That was their hallmark, and after a long argument between the two sides, Quezas decided that the Tiger King's actions were not in his interests and there was no need to support them. ”
Yes, the purpose is different, and it's normal to not be able to talk. Since there is no common good, who will contribute money and efforts for the affairs of other people? Maybe... Quezas planned to withdraw in batches, vacating the Bronze Wall and allowing the government forces to cut off the passage between Istellus and the Northwest Battalion. And then let Eastlaus know who is the one who has the final say.
In that case, how can we let go of this opportunity. Usquik excitedly sent a large number of scouts to investigate the situation in Copperwall, and the rewards he received made him excited and anxious at the same time.
Two heavy infantry brigades had also begun to leave the Copperwall City under the pretext of patrolling missions, and there were only two mixed teams of archers and demons in the city, and she Bone Dance herself. Two brigades, 10,000 men, how can this keep Ersquik from excited?
It's even easier to make him anxious... These dark elves must have withdrawn with supplies, if the other party is all withdrawn, wouldn't it be much less meaningful for his mountain clan to take the Bronze Wall City?!
Scared, Ersquik was still very careful, seconded a lot of centaur scouts and even Eagle Scouts from the government army, and then rushed to Copperwall City with his remaining 20,000 or so mountain minotaur warriors.
Tiger rebel forces, Banar City.
A female high-ranking official of the Tiger Clan sat proudly in the main seat of the living room of the City Lord's Mansion, and looked at the City Lord of the Fox Clan standing in front of him with her legs crossed.
"Your Excellency, we... Didn't we just pay the military tax this time?" The city lord is called Banar, to put it bluntly, this city is named after him, and it can be regarded as a means for the military management committee to buy people's hearts, but the expression of the old man in his sixties at this time is a little wonderful. Grievances, dazedness, helplessness, anger, all kinds of things.
"What? Are you questioning the Military Control Commission?" the tax officer looked condescending, and the king on his forehead furrowed slightly.
"Don't dare, don't dare. It's just..."
"What's just that? The decree has been issued a long time ago, don't you know? Or am I talking nonsense? The decree, the documents, the signatures, the seals, but one of them is fake?"
"It's all true, it's all true, I know about this decree, it's just..."
"If you have something to say, you can say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go. The tax collector clearly didn't respect the age of the person opposite, and his tone was quite impatient.
"Yes, yes, my lord, this decree has been down for a while, and it has not been implemented, and the city of Fansel next door has not been handed over. ”
"Huh. The tax officer sneered, "City Lord, aren't you old and confused?"
"Huh?"
"What is the identity of Lord Vansell, and what is your identity, don't you count it in your own heart?"
"I..." Old Barnal almost didn't come up to explain on the spot, although the other party didn't say it very clearly, but he still felt the ridicule in his tone. To put it bluntly, Vansell is a tiger clan! And he Banar is a fox clan! The fox clan has always lived a life similar to the fox fake tiger bullying other clans, who would have thought that one day their fox clan themselves would be treated like this.
"Got it, give me a specific time. My time is precious, and I always waste time on the road when I don't have time, and the battle ahead is very tense. ”
"But, Lord Tax Collector, now that this is winter, the people in the city also need money and food to survive the winter, the last tax collection has already made people complain, and if it continues to be levied, I'm afraid..."
"Rebellion?"
"No, no, no, you don't dare to rebel, there will be some... Unstable. ”
"That's your business. Besides," the tax collector snorted, "your family was quite wealthy when they bought the city lord. ”
"I..." Barnal held back the resentment in his heart, and wasted a lot of energy before he scolded, and he donated money to buy the city lord at the beginning, but before he could loot the people's fat and ointment, he had to pay the tax first?
"How?"
"No, nothing, sir. ”
"Forget it, I won't tell you more, I'll come back in three days. If you don't see the money then... Heh, hum. The tax collector got up, rubbed his hands twice in front of him, and left the city lord's mansion with the head of the guard without looking back.
"Father!" a little fox hurriedly helped Barnal to his seat, and at the same time looked viciously in the direction the tax collector had left.
"Hey, what can I do? Barnal spread out in his chair and sighed.
"Father, this military management committee is too much of a thing. ”
"Shhhh Barnal hurriedly covered his son's mouth, motioned to the servant to close the door, and then let go, and said, "You little king and eight calves, don't you die?"
"I'm a fox, not a king. ”
"You—" Barnal himself calmed himself down, and said helplessly: "The world is not good now, and if you don't say anything like that just now, I have never seen such a stupid fox as you." ”
"You are smart, you donated half of our family's property to become a city lord, and now you see that the other half is also gone. ”
......To the surprise of the little fox, Barnal didn't scold him this time, but just sighed leisurely, "Hey~~~! If this situation continues, it must be a blood loss. ”
"Father, or we..." The little fox looked around, all of them were his own henchmen, and continued: "Or are we fucking?"
"Hmm..."
"Father, what are you hesitating about! People die for money, birds die for food, and if we go on like this, our family will have nothing. When our family is worthless, do you guess that this city lord can still be you?
Barnal was startled and said, "But... They have soldiers. ”
"What are you afraid of, we, there are people. The little fox smiled, "It is estimated that the soldiers who lead the troops to collect taxes are also their military management committee, or is it specifically aimed at us, three days? I think they went to other places to collect taxes, three days is enough for us to prepare, and when they come back, we will..."
Barnal and the little fox discussed together for a long time, and then... The people in the living room claimed that they had all taken leave and returned to their hometowns, because Barnal, who couldn't let go, was still afraid that the news would leak, so they found an excuse to kill them all.
A little later, the city of Vansell.
"What!?" was so angry that he jumped up, it was an ordinary person, Niu Dali of the rhinoceros clan. Because the people are honest, honest, and enthusiastic, they are very famous in the city, of course, this is a city controlled by the tiger clan, and Niu Dali is just relatively open at the bottom of the city.
"Don't you believe it?" Looking closely, it turned out to be the Tiger Tax Collector of Banar City who was talking to Niu Dali!
"Naturally, I don't believe it, we are tired and tired, hungry and have paid so many things, and now you actually tell me that there is no such tax?" Niu Dali's eyes were red, and he stared at the tiger woman in front of him viciously.
"Huh. The woman stopped the guards behind her who wanted to come forward, took out a magic crystal ball, and said, "Barnal knows, right?"
"Who do you look down on? How could I not know him. Niu Dali bowed his head slightly, and the rhinoceros horn said to the woman: "If you lie to me, you will die." No matter how many soldiers you have behind you. ”
"It's good to know. The woman didn't say much, and poured a trace of energy into the crystal ball, and Barna's old and thin figure and voice were so real.
"It's all true, it's all true, I know about this decree, it's just..."
"Yes, yes, my lord, this decree has been down for a while, and it has not been implemented, and the city of Vansell next door has not been confiscated or handed over. ”
"I didn't confiscate it, and I didn't hand it over. This sentence is like a continuous loop with a tail note, making Niu Dali feel like the world is spinning.
The crystal ball was played by a conversation between the tax collector and Barna.
Although it was only a few short words, the shock and unwillingness that brought Niu Dali were incomparable, and after a short silence...
"!" Niu stood up with a loud roar, slammed his head into the wooden wall beside him, and regardless of the ugliness of falling down after smashing the wall, he frantically smashed everything around him to vent the anger in his heart.
"Convinced?"
"The brothers have all been deceived by that bastard of Vansell!" Niu sat down in front of the woman with a strong pant, and two lines of tears burst out of his eyes, "Vansell lied to us in the name of the Military Control Commission! So many brothers were arrested and killed because they couldn't pay their taxes! We are so worthless? Why !!????"
"Want to change?"
"Change? How to change? Bite them to death?"
"Heh, I've heard that your rhinoceros clan is an invincible warrior second only to the elephant clan, but it doesn't look like it. ”
"Do you want to try?" the ox roared vigorously and pointed its horns at the woman,
"Do you want to die?" Unexpectedly, the woman was not afraid at all, she actually held a giant axe in both hands, with a look of disdain, and the momentum slightly exuded by her body made Niu Dali a little afraid.
"Who are you?"
"Eastlaus Tegel. The woman grinned, and the tattoo on her forehead was faintly milky white.
Something similar is happening all over the Tiger rebel-ruled territory, and with the complexity of the composition of the nine locations, as well as the infiltration of Fury and the accuracy of the intelligence, similar dramas are playing out in various locations.
It's also a good thing that the Nine places have absorbed a lot of orc agents, otherwise... Imagine a dark elf telling an orc that someone is trying to harm you, someone is lying to you, someone is trying to trick you. What was the orc's first reaction? Then you need to ask, it must be this cunning dark elf trying to sow discord!
The base of rule in rebel-held areas is still too weak.
On the third day after Istlaus left the city of Barna, the official tax collector of the Military Administration came to the city of Barna with a special escort of 3,000 men.
Facing the city of Barna with the gates closed, the tax collector was very dissatisfied, claiming that he represented the supreme ruling power of the Military Control Council, and the behavior of the city of Barna could be regarded as complicity!
For the sake of his property and his life, Barna had already announced the executive order of the Military Management Council to the whole city, and said that he did not want to see the people flee and cannibalize each other.
Since the Military Management Council does not care about the lives of the people, he Barna will stand up and seek justice for everyone!
With skillful incitement and diversion of contradictions, it even temporarily created an atmosphere of hatred and hatred in the city of Barna. To put it bluntly, what Eastlaus did was just to let Barna know the decision of the Military Management Committee in advance, and the Military Management Committee really wanted to raise taxes and lead troops.
The militia on the city walls heard the words of the tax collector and were even more convinced of Barna's words and the abhorrent of the Military Council. At last... The tax collector and the special escort died in... Yes, the report from the city of Barna received by the Military Command said that they died at the hands of bandits.
Those who are in power for a while may be fools, and those who can be in power for a long time may not be fools. How many bandits will it take to wipe out the elite soldiers with 3,000 armor and filthy elements?
This is a provocation and betrayal of the authority of the CMC! This is a frenzied temptation by the ignorant Barna on the verge of death! This is the conclusion reached by the CMC.
In a fit of rage, the military management committee mobilized more than 20,000 people from the two reorganized regiments that had been withdrawn for rest, vowing to crush the small flame that had just risen to death in swaddling clothes.
