It's hard to convince one person, but it's much easier to convince a group of people. When we exist as a single individual, our minds are always uncertain, but when we come together, our behavior becomes traceable.

So is persuasion, and so is fear.

The well-lined U-sang legions were driven back to Nome by the exhausted Medici, and the mood of pacification was far from theirs. When hundreds of heads with the characteristic buns of the Uzaans were thrown into the city by catapults, the fire of fear began to spread.

"The head of the acting general!"

"The general has been killed!"

......

The noble Shandan Hu attracted the attention of the Usang defenders, and their flag captain and fan captain recognized the identity of the owner of the head, and panic boiled in an instant.

The military law was strict, and if the general of the headquarters was killed or captured in battle, not only the whole army would be beheaded, but also the relatives in the rear would be reduced to slavery. Everyone was terrified of the tragic fate that had been doomed, and naturally no one cared about the defense of the city.

The strategic portal in the center of the city was hit by a "meteor storm", and the casters still failed after holding out for a long time, and the collapsed basalt porch building became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Boys, those dogs have been scared out of their hearts, would you like to kick their balls with me?"

"Let's go together!"

"Dare to be a pioneer!"

......

On the other hand, the army on the side of the American imperial, with the power of a great victory and a commander who is good at incitement, is constantly cheering up, although the body is extremely tired, but it is full of morale.

The engineering units did not have time to build ramp trucks, so they had time to erect improvised ladders. The soldiers scrambled to be the first to go, shutting their shields over their heads and climbing up the staircase with burrs.

The big belly looked at the powerful performance of his "stick guy", and showed a fatherly smile, and he added a fire:

"The first person to climb the city wall will be awarded the first-class "jumping" merit, promoted to three levels, and given the title of nobleman!

The team that breaks the enemy first will be rewarded with 100 silver Kates, and the family will be exempted from taxes for three years!

The boys climbed steadily, hit hard, and the light beer and barbecue were guaranteed to be enough, hahaha!"

I don't know if it is an incentive to get a first-class "jumping" skill, or a more practical incentive to reward silver, light beer, and barbecue, anyway, every soldier has used the strength to eat.

Morale is a very mysterious thing.

"Mourning will win" is just a lie that is always misinterpreted, and finding a way to survive is the essence of most battles. And the Usang Legion, which knows that there is no hope of survival, is like quail in the water, and there is no fighting spirit at all:

The well-known Usan longbow archers in the ash world were trembling, so they could not shoot straight bows and arrows, and the mulberry longbows in their hands became ornaments;

The national collapse cannon that was traded from the supplier of Bato's Nine Prisons was also muted after a few empty shots;

The only ones who could afford to hold a sword were all the noble-born Red Swordsmen, but after dismounting, the heavy armor became a drag, and the shoulder to shoulder Free Folk swordsmen also became an obstacle - the Red Reserve members slashed and killed the Free Folk swordsmen who had "no sense of honor", causing a lot of infighting among the U-Sangs.

As the situation turned, Quest walked over to the pot-bellied general, and the captured Brittany was under the care of Ogre Blue, with a chew in his mouth and his limbs tied to the long pole of a whaling fork.

Looking at the banner that had changed hands on the head of the city, the young blue dragon said unhurriedly: "Don't think about cheating when you are in the village, this will force others to find a way to steal cards, and the Wusang people obviously don't understand this truth." ”

......

Politics is a stab in the back.

Therefore, in this kind of game, it is especially important to be able to take into account the talent behind the player. Even the general who almost oversaw all the military power of the Usang had to install people in the Senate to watch over and help him.

And the steer is such a pawn.

The steer was born with a strong force, not tall but thick shoulders, and at first glance he was a villain who advocated violence. He was originally a eunuch next to the last emperor of the Usang Empire, and the reason why he was able to sit in the Senate was because in the struggle to depose the imperial power, this guy strangled the emperor with his own hands.

In order to reward him for his "merits", the nobles of the Senate not only acquiesced in the steer to master the "Naoetsu talent market", but also selected him to become a new nobleman and participate in the resolution of the temple.

In the eyes of others, this guy was a representative against the general - during the voting process in the Senate, he more than once went toe-to-toe with the general like a bull who had not been gelding. However, few people found that it was precisely this conflict that allowed the general to slowly grasp the vast majority of the military power of the Uso.

Kindness will be repaid, and debts will be repaid.

At that time, the general general's reward for saving his life was the great grace of killing his father's enemy, so that this guy was willing to be a slave and lurk beside the last emperor. Hundreds of years later, the life of the slave is still silently working for the promise of the year, and allegiance has become the whole meaning of the gelding's life.

Looking at the silver warrior who walked into the hall of the Senate, the gelding longed to be able to bow down openly, but several projected encouraging eyes made his gaze suddenly turn cold.

The general general stroked his chest three buttons in front of his heart - from the heart, perseverance in the heart, and the beginning of loyalty, he silently returned the salute to this secret greeting that had lasted for hundreds of years in his heart, and said in a cold voice: "Your Excellency the general is such a big shelf, this is not the first time that you have been late when the Senate has made a decision, hum!"

"What are you brawling about, you eunuch!" a nobleman close to the general immediately accused the steer of his actions. But fortunately, there are other people who are busy playing the round, so that this bit of twists and turns will quickly subside.

The aristocratic speaker at the head of the round table in the council hall pressed his hands weakly, and everyone stopped talking. After the spellcaster who was accompanying him in the hall had set up the anti-prophecy detection and soundproof magic circle, the oldest Usang nobleman present said slowly: "The battle of the Meidiqi strategy is in full swing, and His Excellency the General should not be summoned to return in a hurry. However, some members of parliament raised a number of important issues related to the war that had to be resolved, and a vote of the Senate was urgently needed. ”

Perhaps because of the aging of his soul, the speaker with a face of no more than forty years coughed lightly, sipped the tea on the table and rinsed his mouth before continuing to speak slowly: "Everyone knows that the foundation of the empire is slaves, and for the prosperity of Naoetsu, many of our vassal states can be said to have contributed a lot. Hehe, some vassals want to seek to join the Senate and become a member of the Senate, and they do not hesitate to propose that the whole country be enslaved, and we have not yet made a unified reply to this matter. Now that the Imperialist Raiders are at the crossroads, this region is different from the rest, and its population and military strength cannot be underestimated, so some parliamentarians have suggested whether it is possible to send them a soft meaning - to exchange the position of a member of the Senate for the false name of the lord of the country......"

"Absolutely not. War has always been a continuation of politics, and it cannot be won on the battlefield, and it cannot be negotiated by diplomatic envoys. And signaling Huairou now is tantamount to damaging our morale. Morale can be boosted, but not vented. The Silver Samurai rubbed the hilt of his sword with one hand and interrupted the speaker's words.

The words were interrupted, and the old fox Speaker was naturally angry in his heart, but the thousands of years of Taoguang still made him smile. It's just that when he raised his glass of tea to cover up his embarrassment, his eyes glanced at others.

It has its own "loyal dog" to serve it.

The gelding was the first to jump out, standing up and stepping on the chair, and the governor of the dignified "Naoetsu Talent Market" looked like a scoundrel in the market. He pulled the bull's throat and said:

"Fifteen million dollars! The Commander-in-Chief owed the Expeditionary Corps to the slave warriors worth fifteen million silver coins in Naoetsu on credit just before they left. After the capture of a Nome city, the only amount to be repaid was a mere 130,000 silver Kate.

Considering the problem of the fineness of the coinage, the income of the city was only worth 100,000 silver coins. But there are only more than 100 cities in Medici, and even if they are washed once, they will not even be able to pay off the principal of the arrears.

And what about the rest? I had to pay for it with slaves. If a war of annihilation is launched, it will be a great victory, but it will be difficult to have enough high-quality equivalents to repay the interest under the ruins.

Even if we can afford to wait, don't forget how many hired slaves from the Outer Plane are in your legion. Those heterogeneous creditors who have a life longer than the nobles of the Usang are all miserly demons who will continue to calculate interest even for a minute and a second!"

"Naoejin and Guoxian have been resting for hundreds of years, and there are countless slave transactions every day, how can there be no family background. A cold voice rang out from the silver armor.

Hearing that the general wanted to harm the Naoetsu talent market, the steer bull, the governor of Naoetsu, was "colorful", and he directly pulled out the enchanted leather whip hanging on his body.

The thunder stirred up the "crackling" battle overture, and scorched black marks appeared on the ground where the whip had slashed. On the other hand, the legendary samurai on the other side seemed to regard him as an ant, and he was not moved at all. However, several nobles who were close to the general stood up, and there was a big disagreement with the meaning of drawing their swords.

"Enough, you are all nobles, what kind of system?"

The Speaker threw down the teacup in his hand at this time, and let the precious azure porcelain shatter on the marble floor. The old fox secretly praised the steer for his timely trump card, and at the same time pondered whether the next meeting should prohibit the legislators from carrying weapons into the council chamber.

Of course, after persuading the two groups of people who were tense, he did not forget to put forward the draft that had already been typed:

"You juniors really don't have the bearing of a general, how can you serve the people in the future? And you, the governor, must also know how to control your temper, that whip is used to discipline slaves, and are there slaves in the council chamber?

It's also to blame the old man, in fact, the parliamentarians have already proposed it, but I haven't had time to say it. As the general said, for the conquest of an empire like Medici, the morale of the army is the first. And the accounts that the governor of Naoetsu said about the existence of the heterogeneous plane on credit cannot be delayed, and it is related to the credit of the Japanese mulberry.

However, this method can be used as a compromise consideration. All of you here are among the best nobles in the U-sang world, and although it takes a lot of effort to organize an expeditionary corps, it is not a problem.

In fact, these corps were already on board. As long as the general agrees to each family to fight against the Medici separately, and the population of the city is distributed among the families, then what does it matter if Naoetsu's debts are shared among the senate nobles?"

The picture is poor, and this is the scene at this time.

However, the Speaker's proposal was interrupted by a flying box herald - a noble herald with a Mithril letterbox in his arms knocked on the closed door of the council chamber. Seeing this kind of highest-level military intelligence report, the mage on duty can't stop it.

After the Commander-in-Chief opened the spell prohibition on the Mithril letter box with the special talisman he carried with him, and pulled out the urgent military information letter contained inside to read it, the Silver Warrior immediately became furious.

The dragonfly cut the Mithril box and the round table of the Senate into two pieces in a flash, and the voice of the chief general, which seemed to come from the Nine Netherworlds, sounded clearly in the ears of the elders and nobles:

"After the departure of the general, the city of Nome was lost;

The general of the advance army, my nephew Shiro, and the three hundred red reserves were all shattered;

The Longbow Legion, the Dufall Legion, and the Freefolk Swordsmen were killed or captured, and I don't know how many;

The army of the U-sang clan was defeated by the Medich. ”

The legendary samurai dragged his weapon to the Senate Speaker at the end of the round table, and the dragonfly cut the marble floor to pieces, and no one dared to anger the mighty samurai.

"Your Excellency, the Lord will remember that a hundred years ago, in the face of the invasion of the Devil Duke, the Senate gave me the seal of full authority to deploy the U-sang army. Today I apply for the re-use of this seal, and order you to send the nobles who have already prepared the Methiki, and you can second?"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

......

Inspired by its momentum, the Senate passed the provisional resolution of the Admiral by a rare and near-unanimous vote. Only the Speaker and Governor Naoetsu abstained from voting, and after the Silver Samurai left, only the heavy gasping of the steer remained in the large council hall.

The game of the U-sang Empire was reshuffled.
