The news spread, and the world was in an uproar. Burning Text ??? ?? ．?ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? ｅ?ｎ?`ｎｅt

In this world, war is commonplace, and it is not so rare to lose a war and kill a whole family. However, without considering victory or defeat, in order to destroy the other side's logistics and attack the other side's will to war, they carried out large-scale massacres of civilians and even completely destroyed villages and towns, which has seriously broken with the long-standing "convention".

Generally speaking, this kind of thing mostly happens outside the main plane, and there is such a cruel practice between those who use small worlds as strongholds, fighting and fighting with each other. And in the main plane, even the elemental creatures with weak feelings, even the evil and hideous demons, would not do such a thing, because it would be meaningless.

What's the use of killing people? Is human flesh a little better than other meats? Even if human flesh is more delicious, isn't it true that other worlds are devoid of human reproduction, and they spend a lot of effort and expense to break into the world just to eat a fresh bite?

If anyone does this, even if they are in the demons, they definitely belong to the type of "sick and cured".

Generally speaking, even evil nether creatures, such as demons, do the same thing by killing humans and taking their souls away to replenish their subordinates. And simply to kill people is really ...... Rare.

In fact, this is no longer a "rare" problem, but a madness.

When the news reached the territory of the aristocratic faction, the great nobles who had discussed the matter with Earl House were also dumbfounded. They thought that Earl House would only do ordinary burning and looting, but unexpectedly, this guy turned out to be a bad star, and almost no men, women, and children were left behind wherever the invading troops passed. Even houses and farmland have to be burned, livestock have to be killed, and even water sources have to be polluted. If it weren't for their limited time, the farmland would have been damaged by spells.

"This ...... That's a ...... It's really ......" At the meeting of the great nobles, the Marquis of Yuke shook his head a few times, and he didn't know what to say, and in the end he just repeated "really", and couldn't say anything else.

"We shouldn't have promised him in the first place!" said a local earl, his tone full of indignation, "I really can't imagine that he is so murderous! ”

"According to the north, it's almost six thousand. A central count replied, "Now our side is very passive and embarrassed......

He is currently in charge of diplomacy with the merchant faction, and it is said that the strength of the two sides is comparable, and even if the diplomatic work does not take advantage of anything, it should not suffer losses. But because of the madness of Earl House, the aristocratic faction is now suffering a lot in diplomacy, not only the merchant faction is furious, but even many good churches are putting pressure on them.

Things have come to this point beyond their imagination. They thought that no matter how cruel Earl House was, he would harass the localities, kill thirty or fifty of his people in each place, and create a riot and go away, and that's what Earl House obviously told them when they first discussed.

Logically speaking, it is far better to kill all the people in a place than to kill a small part of them. This saves time and effort, and allows the rest of the population to spread their fears. If you kill all the people directly, the only thing that can be spread is hatred.

What Earl House wants is to sow fear and thus discourage the will to war of the Merchant Faction, while at the same time creating chaos and destroying the logistics of the Merchant Faction. Just slaughtering the past village by town will not achieve such an effect.

At present, the most uncomfortable thing is not the merchant faction, but the earl in charge of diplomacy in the aristocratic faction. On the one hand, he had to appease the merchant diplomats who posed as "I'm going to explode", and on the other hand, he had to explain to the church of the good gods that the aristocracy would not become the enemy of society, and on the other hand, he had to try to pursue the original diplomatic goals...... He felt that among all the diplomats throughout the ages, there was no second one as miserable as himself.

In fact, he is really not the worst, after all, the aristocratic faction is quite strong and can hold up the scene. Diplomats from weak countries are really miserable, just decorations, and often humiliated.

In the face of Earl House's madness, the merchant faction was naturally furious, and quickly formed a rapid mobile force, and then hurriedly sent them out, following the trail of Earl House's destruction all the way, trying to catch up with them and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

A few days later, the news came again.

The merchant fast mobile force did catch up with the noble fast mobile force led by Earl House, and the two sides fought a big battle in a wilderness. However, the result of the battle was the complete collapse of the rapid mobile forces built by the merchants, and the remaining nearly 300 people were wiped out, except for a few lucky ones with teleportation spells or teleportation scrolls.

The news shocked the merchants' council, as well as the nobles.

In war, the difference in numbers cannot be ignored. The aristocratic faction had only about 200 fast mobile troops, while the merchant faction had 300 men, half more. In terms of equipment, the wealthy merchant faction, the weapons, armor, war horses and consumables equipped with the fast mobile troops will definitely not be worse than the noble faction. In terms of quality, although the merchant faction has fallen behind, they have many mercenary organizations that have cooperated with them for a long time, and the elite troops are supposedly only stronger than the rabble organized by the nobles faction to "clear their stocks".

However, the result was completely reversed, and the aristocratic mobile troops, who were said to be defeated, won, but the merchant faction, which had the advantage in both manpower and material resources, was defeated and defeated, and almost the entire army was wiped out.

It's incredible, but it's an ironclad fact.

Faced with such a fact, the great nobles were also a little at a loss.

"What should I do?" asked the Marquis of Gordon at the meeting of the great nobles, "let's discuss and discuss, what is the right thing to do in this situation?"

"First of all, we have to change our minds. "Although it is true that House's approach is excessive, we have to admit that he is strong, strong...... It's really enough to change the outcome of this war. ”

Great nobles, you look at me, I look at you, and nodded silently.

"Originally, we were evenly matched with the group of merchants in the north, and no one could help anyone. But with him and his troops, there will definitely be problems with the logistics of the merchant faction, and the will to war will also be greatly hit. In this way, we should be able to take advantage of the eventual conclusion of the peace treaty. The earl paused and emphasized, "Not a small bargain, but a big bargain!"

"We don't disagree with that. "But the problem is that he puts a lot of pressure on us." ”

"Yes, he put a lot of pressure on us, a lot of trouble. But he can also bring us victory!" the previous count emphasized, "Victory!"

The great nobles were silent, indeed, for war, victory is the most important thing.

No matter what you do, there is no point in not winning.

Even if it comes at a great cost, it's worth it to win.

Eventually, the nobles passed a resolution to resist pressure from all sides to delay Earl House for as long as possible so that they could get more results.

As for morality and conscience, they don't have much of this kind in the first place, and the rest of it, in order to win the war, they don't care about selling it again...... (To be continued.) )
