Chapter 708: Soft Persimmon Everyone Loves (Ask for Recommendation Votes!Ask for Monthly Tickets!)
After a period of rest, Green regained his energy, and he immediately convened a cross-city meeting within the league.
Summoned by the priest of the gods, the mayors of each alliance do not need to gather together, they only need to be in front of a square filled with holy water, and they can communicate with the rulers of other cities at a maximum of two hourglasses.
Time is precious, so Grimm made a long story short, "The Emperor's recent series of attacks are entirely intended to drain us, leaving us too busy dealing with the crisis in our respective cities to form an alliance to fight them.
This ancient Ramsay slave owner has a war potential that we can't match. According to reliable sources, he had encroached and plundered every inch of land within a hundred miles of the Soft Maple City, centered on the magic nest on the protruding headland of Soft Maple City.
A large number of peasants living in the countryside were captured and twisted into various monsters, or used as fodder for their evil spells. A lot of the time. If left unchecked, he will soon be able to amass an army of unstoppable monsters. ”
As he spoke, the Supreme Commander of the Alliance Army gestured to the Reverend Thom beside him, and the clergyman's palm immediately placed a piece of parchment into the square, floating on the surface of the clear holy water.
Through the pastor's "communication technique", the content of the parchment was projected word for word in front of the mayors who attended the meeting. It describes the migration of people from the main transportation hubs of Emerald Wood City.
"A large number of refugees began to flee south," Green explained, "and with that came not only a surge in the pressure to resettle people, but also the rapid growth of the restless bands of thieves."
According to information sent by the former rebel leader Mr. Rake, who had agreed with the alliance and decided to join the alliance, some bands of thieves had even grown to the point of daring to attack and plunder people, livestock, and property in the villages and towns they had previously managed.
I'm not sure if these bands of thieves have anything to do with the Emperor, but their thriving during this period did affect the Alliance's resistance to the Emperor's power, making Ramsey even more chaotic.
We cannot tolerate these bandits who refuse to defend themselves and share the same hatred of the enemy, whether out of moral considerations or out of consideration of the overall situation of the war, and we must quickly extinguish these unstable factors. ”
In fact, even if Green did not provide this proof, the mayors who attended the meeting had already learned of the influx of refugees from their own channels. They also know something about the swarming of bands.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the farthest human city-states that have joined the Ramsay Alliance are only about 800 leagues away from Emerald Wood City. In the past ten days, many wealthy chamber of commerce families have actually migrated there.
If they can stop, the mayors may see this as an opportunity to increase the city's tax revenues.
However, with the news of the Emperor's monster army, the wealthy families in those cities even began to pack up their belongings and prepare to migrate to the more remote areas further south.
"Wherever the monster army passes, the tragedy is simply indescribable", "Death is a luxury in the hands of monsters", "The emperor will use evil methods to twist humans into monsters"...... All kinds of rumors, overwhelming.
In addition, yesterday the emperor launched air raids on twelve city-states at the same time, and four of them were attacked by the raiders. More than half a million people witnessed the ravages of the monster army, and nearly 50,000 civilians were killed. Fear of the emperor had begun to spread rapidly throughout Ramsay. Unstoppable, unavoidable.
"Others can escape, but you ......"
Green said with a solemn face: "We are all the backbone of our respective cities. The glory of our family rests on these cities under our feet. So, it's impossible for us to run away. The only way is to fight the Emperor and stuff that hateful ancient slave master back into his grave!"
The words of the commander-in-chief of the Union Army really hit the hearts of every mayor present. As Green said, most of them are both prosperous and disastrous with their cities.
Therefore, in this "vendetta" war of the emperor against all Ramsey, if they do not want to lose everything, then they can only fight it to the end. Victory, they can keep everything they have. And if they fail, they will be swept away in the old papers of history, and perhaps even worse than that outcome – they will be remembered by no one.
For those who have experienced the taste of power, being completely forgotten by this world is actually a more terrible ending than death. So Green just started the day, and all the mayors began to respond positively.
"We can't afford to be beaten," the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces concluded: "The best defense is always offensive, especially against an enemy who can constantly transform the Ramsay into monsters, and we must not give him enough time to transform."
Yesterday, an air raid was launched on twelve cities at the same time, and the emperor sent a total of more than 10,000 monsters.
These monsters are different from the lowest-level monsters, presumably they will have a lower conversion efficiency, according to our advisor Mr. Quest, in order to transform so many monsters, the emperor has consumed at least 80,000 or more of the captured population - this is almost the country dwellers he can hunt around the protruding headland.
In other words, the Emperor should be busy plundering more of the population, and he is now hoarding the next wave of monster armies.
Therefore, we must seize this opportunity to clear the wilderness, and never leave him a refugee who can be transformed into a monster. At the same time, we must also resolutely eliminate those thieves who are suspected of contributing to the emperor's plan. Ensure that the refugees can be evacuated to a safer place smoothly, they will be our reserve force, they cannot be the nourishment of the bandits!"
Needless to say, Green was a very practical commander.
He knew very well that after an encounter with the monster army, if he proposed to organize an army to counterattack the emperor's lair, maybe some mayors would restrain him out of timidity. So, instead of coming up with such a plan, he took aim at the bandits who were operating on a large scale.
On the one hand, the continuous growth of these bandit groups may indeed cause chaos in the Ramsay world, and they should indeed be eradicated as soon as possible to prevent future troubles; on the other hand, the current strength of the alliance army in various city-states is uneven, and finding a "soft persimmon" to pinch it is just right to run in those patchwork armies and make some preparations for a tough battle in the future.
