The Nisters, who had besieged the Tonys army in the last four northern regions, abruptly withdrew during the night, giving up their impending victory without warning. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When the red light shone on the bloodstained city wall the next day, the soldiers of the Tonys family coalition who had been terrified all night looked at the empty land under the city wall as if in a dream, and the army of the Nister family, which was still full of people just yesterday, finally broke out into a huge cheer.

"The Nesters have withdrawn, withdrawn......"

In fact, it is not that the Nister family has a big conscience, nor is it that Ray is not interested in these last four regions, but it is just that the battle report he has received is that the Nister family army in the eastern region is being defeated and retreated by the Xuantie army from the direction of the Kalo region, and there is no way to fight back.

Of course, before withdrawing the troops, Ray did not forget to send an envoy and handed an armistice agreement to Ann Kaidon, the commander of the alliance of the Tonis family, and the latter saw the armistice agreement sent to him, and directly tore it into pieces.

October 5 of the same year

Ray led the Nister army back to the Yinke region, quickly forming a defensive line, and in four areas, more than 70% of the Nister family's allied army, numbering 1.5 million.

And the Xuantie Army, which had already captured more than two-thirds of it, also stopped tacitly after occupying the Doganda region adjacent to the Nister family, and did not launch any offensive.

In a little more than a month, the cold snap is coming, and the Xuantie army is not confident enough to end this battle with the Nister family alliance when the cold snap arrives.

......

End of 195

With the arrival of the third cold snap in the eastern region, the temperature in the eastern region suddenly dropped to a record low, reaching an astonishing minus 42 degrees, even if you are scolding people on the street and spitting on each other, it will be a block of ice in the face of the other party.

The cold weather and the years of war have made many people in the eastern region feel desperate, and the soldiers of the Xuantie Army who are patrolling the streets with heavy crossbows on their backs have numb expressions and no reaction.

Since the campaign in the Eastern Regions more than a decade ago, the people of these regions have been in the midst of repeated battles between orc and Delmar armies, not only have they had to endure threats to their lives, but they have always been asked to pay for food whenever these areas change hands and are occupied.

After the end of the battle in the eastern region, before they could recover, the civil war of the Delmar Empire broke out again, and the Leonsons, the Erodots, Sivas, the Marlowe family, the Tonys family, and the Nister family, these families holding all kinds of banners went back and forth to capture, defend, sneak attack, and retreat......

Without exception, these family armies also asked the people in the eastern region to provide them with the necessary supplies, of course, if they could not provide supplies, then the young adults of the family must be conscripted into their army, that is, the so-called rich and powerful contributions.

The impassioned rhetoric of these family forces during their occupation of these main cities and regions has long since been blown away, but the scars of the war are still visible.

Now in the entire eastern region, it is barren, sparsely populated, ten rooms and nine empty, the total population is only more than 50 million if you do not count the five regions such as the Caro region, and the average population of a region is only one million, and you must know that a region of the Delmar Empire is equivalent to the area of a province of the Great Shang Empire, and the difference in numbers is ten times.

Even the nobles who were still living in the eastern region had already left the main city where they had lived for generations with valuable belongings.

The castles and manors, which were usually expensive, were already dilapidated and desolate because no one took care of them.

Suffice it to say, the eastern region has now become almost a region without any nobility.

Even those thieves who were forced to fall into the grass and robbers for their lives, many of them were starved to death because they couldn't grab anything.

Because of this, when the Xuantie Army occupied the eastern region and posted announcements in the major cities, saying that it was open to food relief, few people were willing to believe what they said - how fresh it is, only the army that manages our collection of grain, how can there be an army that sends food to us, this must be a lie, it must be trying to deceive us, and then pull us into a strong man, even if it is not the case, there must be an ulterior conspiracy behind it.

However, although not many people came to the relief food point opened by the Xuantie Army at first, it was still opened in the city one after another according to the previous plan.

In the snowy wilderness, a wagon full of grain braved the bitter cold and slowly moved along the snow-covered roads.

Many years later, someone once asked Huang Fei why, in such an extremely difficult situation at that time, even the supply of the Xuantie Army could not be guaranteed in time, and a lot of manpower, material and financial resources had to be spent to insist on relief, you know, those unarmed people in the eastern region could not change the outcome of the war.

Huang Fei said with a faint smile, "In your eyes, you only see how many regions and how many main cities the Xuantie Army has occupied, but in fact, in my heart, people's hearts are the most important thing. ”

The listener was immediately relieved.

They finally understood one thing, why for so many years, no matter how powerful the force was at that time, how overwhelming the advantage, even if they occupied a certain area in the eastern region for many years, it was still difficult to implement the announcements and regulations issued, and as soon as the Xuantie Army came, it was almost less than a year and it was supported by all the people in the eastern region. Scouts and other work, risking their lives to ventilate the Xuantie Army, this kind of strong contrast and treatment of other family armies and the Xuantie Army, and finally has a clear answer.

The reason why the Xuantie Army was able to occupy the eastern region in a very short period of time, and at the same time staggeringly stabilized their position in the eastern region, was not because they sharpened their swords in ten years, not because of the Xuantie crossbow that each soldier carried behind their backs, not because they had an invincible commander, but because they ......

They have won the support of the population throughout the eastern region.

The desire of the people is what the invincible Xuantie Army really holds without scruples.
