Chapter Sixty-Seven: Zikern's Army of Weak Chickens

In the three days when Hadu and Preg were "trapped", Hadu had already sent his guards to strengthen patrols around the "Koman'ne", even though his clan had little contact with him, but the inheritance of the guards was well maintained, and he had been loyal to him for many years. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Just yesterday, the guards reported to him that the scouts had spotted a number of foreigners wandering around the White Nile and Blue Nile, and that a certain number of foreigners had also been spotted in the direction of the Old Tower, and Hadu judged that it was Zikon's entourage lying dormant in the forest waiting for the order to attack.

When he saw Preg Zikern coming alone, Hadu knew that there must be many companions in the vicinity of "Koman'ne" ready to attack. In his experience, Zikon is mostly dispatched in standard teams of 24 people, including 2 figurative abilities, 2 imagery abilities, 1 space-time ability and 1 abstract ability (if the latter two are lacking, add 1 to each of the first two), and the rest of the personnel are 3 teams of 18 elite soldiers, who are quite good at melee combat, bow shooting, logistics, and field survival.

Looking at Pregg, Hadu thinks that he should be an abstract ability, because most of the abstract abilities are support forces in the standard group, and most of the time they don't need to participate in the main battle, and most of the time and space abilities are more precious, and it is impossible to send them to Hadu's side to conduct such a high-risk negotiation, otherwise it will be too much to care about one or the other. As for the first two abilities, it should be unlikely: most of the people with the figurative ability can directly change the appearance of the objects around them, and they are important members of camouflage, dodge, and natural defense during the battle, and even one less will bring huge trouble to the whole battle;

Hado's own statement that "he's always been alone" is actually a mockery of Pregg's discovery of his weakness: it's okay for Zikon to go out and fight alone, but if Zikon runs to "Koman'ne", he will feel very constrained. When Preg heard that Hadu had discovered their strategy, of course he knew that Hadu must have taken precautions, so of course many of their subsequent methods would not be used. For example, Zikon now deploys his forces on the outer front line of the "Fare" (the transition area between the mountains and the desert steppe), which is mostly neat and flat, which is very suitable for launching a blitzkrieg, but if there are "Koman'ne" guards to arrange all kinds of debris and obstacles in the outer front, then the attack will obviously be slowed down, and the salient will even be destroyed.

In fact, when Hadu came back this time, he arranged a number of defensive lines: several trenches up to two people deep were dug on the outer front, and the running distance in the trench was extremely short, and they could not jump up without strong physical fitness; even if the opponent rushed through the outer front, they would definitely want to seize the commanding heights as soon as possible, so they would trace the source along the river leading to the desert steppe. The embankment of the lake is made entirely of pine wood soaked in kerosene, which is usually waterproof, sunproof, and corrosion-resistant, and if necessary, can also set fire to the artificial lagoon, which can drown all the enemies coming from the outer front, and further inside is the inner front line set up on the east and west sides, consisting of endless tunnels and traps, and if you want to attack the high mountain pillboxes or the "Falie" caves, you must first go through these abrasive measures to defend against the enemy.

In ancient warfare, it was common to burn down enemy grain growing areas, and Hado devised a playful measure for this: manipulating the flow of water to form a monitoring ice wall above the farmland, and digging deep pits around the ice wall, filling them with water, and the surface of the puddle was a thin, solid-looking layer of ice, and if you stood on it, you would immediately fall into the puddle - and the puddle was full of all kinds of piranhas that had been hungry for a long time.

Even if the other party can really rush to the "Fa Lie", it does not mean that they can attack the mountain bunker with super defensive ability: when the defense measures are not activated, it looks like a relatively atmospheric sentry and courtyard, but after the various defense projects are activated, the bunker hidden in the mountain will be lifted to the ground by large gear machinery, and a total of 3 floors and a total of 12 defense towers facing all directions will emerge leisurely. The top is a catapult using porous pumice, which can absorb kerosene well, and becomes a powerful giant incendiary bomb after ignition; the middle layer of the bunker is a hot oil delivery pipeline, and these high-temperature butter butter sprays out of the pipe at high speed under the action of gravity, and once contaminated, it will inevitably be severely burned; the bottom layer is the automatic bow and arrow exit, but due to the limitations of technology, these automatic bows and arrows can only be fired continuously in a single direction, and do not have the ability to observe shooting and shoot from multiple angles. Even if the enemy can rush through this death zone intact, then the most troublesome thing for the enemy must be the anti-slope parapet at the bottom of the pillbox, these parapets are pouring in the direction of the enemy's attack, and there are all kinds of sharp objects on them, and there is no place for people to climb - the most terrible thing is that the parapet is modular and can protrude outward independently, and the protruding wall blocks are also spiked on all sides, even if someone can climb up, it is impossible to go up - not to mention that the parapet itself is 3 people high.

However, it is obvious that the defensive targets of the above-mentioned bunker facilities are ordinary people, and the relevant defenses may not be effective against those who have the ability to plunder - for example, against Hadu, he directly melts down the walls and bunker structure, then the entire bunker will collapse, and of course, the troops inside will have nowhere to escape and will be crushed below. In order to cope with this problem, Hado immersed himself in some of the mastery of the Roman Empire's mechanical skills, and built towers that did not require soldiers to work internally - or were purely hydraulically driven, and the soldiers only had to carry supplies inward from the outside along a predetermined track. And because the main body of the tower and the pillbox are independent of each other, even if the tower is damaged, it will not endanger the pillbox, and at the same time, it will also block the enemy's route to attack the pillbox, which is a relatively complete way.

Preg could see the connotation of the alpine bunker, which was why his face was so ugly, but Hadu was not deceived by the other party's pretended expression: he keenly caught the cunning in the other party's eyes, and knew that the other party must have a back hand.

At this time, there was a horn in the agricultural area south of "Fa Lie", and it was obvious that the other party was very "smart" and chose to attack from the weakest area. Hado, on the other hand, was not a pretending person, so he made a gesture of please, inviting Preg to go to the farming area to find out. When the agricultural area was attacked, it was inevitable that he needed to rush to the rescue, but looking at Hadu's unhurried appearance, Preg thought at first that the other party had directly given up the rescue of the agricultural area, but after walking for a while, he began to feel that something was wrong: there was no smoke that should be there when burning crops. Further down the hill, Preg began to hear a lot of wailing, and then saw several Zikern people being chased by the guards and scattered. When he arrived at the agricultural area, Preg found that the people who had come here had found a wall of ice covering the crops, and when they stood next to the ice wall and tried to chisel through it, they crushed the thin ice under their feet with great force, and fell into a puddle of water where they were bitten into white bones by piranhas. The remaining Zikon were quickly wiped out by the guards, who had at most a few scratches on their bodies, and their armor was not even pierced.

It seemed that the results of the battle in the agricultural area were not bad, but there was no joy on Hadu's face: there were no predatory enemies among the attacking enemies, and the enemy in the agricultural area was actually here to test the defensive capabilities, find all kinds of defensive measures arranged by "Koman'ne", and mark the offensive route for the rear team.

The purpose of Zikon's attack on "Koman'ne" is unclear: Preg behaved politely and did not be aggressive at first, but Zikon's troops rushed forward without hesitation. Thinking about it for a while, and looking at Preg's sneering appearance, Hadu seems to understand a little bit what is going on: even if Zikern has unified opinions internally, there are also dissidents, just like this Preg, who should be a pacifist among Zikern, so he came alone to try to make the two sides put aside their prejudices through negotiations, but he didn't expect that the main fighters behind him could not wait for the time for negotiation and mediation, so they came up directly to test.

No matter how peace-loving Preg is, he can't change the current wartime state, so Hadu directly called his personal guards and "invited" Preg to the dungeon at the bottom of the bunker to "rest for a while", and he went by himself... Rest in a cave.

Indeed, Hadu had no interest in confronting Zikern, nor did he fear the safety of his guards: he did something that Zikon would never have imagined - unlike other predators, Hadu had always treated his ordinary people equally, and brought considerable benefits to them—for example, "plundering them in connection with any predator other than Hado." As long as this is done, the clansmen will not be affected by other abilities at all, and then there will be no suspense in this battle: the standard warriors against the elite warriors, and everyone can imagine what the outcome will be.

The sound of fighting outside the cave shook the sky, and Zikern did not taste the sweetness in the temptation behind the mountain, and began to fight head-on. The trenches did not stop them, nor did the lagoon hinder them, these Zikern's abilities were indeed masters of battle, completely unaffected by these human factors, even the towers of the alpine pillboxes were destroyed by them 7, and the ruins formed by the towers that were finally demolished by themselves slowed down the pace of the attack.

Then, when the Zikern people realized that their plunder had no effect on the "Koman'ne's" guards, they all sensed that something was wrong. According to the statistics of the leaders of the guards, the total number of Zikon people who surrounded and attacked the "Fare" reached 220, including 80 predators (another 60 died behind the mountain, and 40 were on standby to respond). This number is definitely sufficient from the perspective of special operations, but the problem is that they are met with guards who are completely immune to predatory abilities.

After the predators approached the alpine bunkers, the leader of the guards ordered: close the net. Soon, from the east and west inner fronts, a large number of ambushed guards ran out (the tunnel defense tactics did not come in handy), reaching a total of 4,000 people, and surrounded the Zikern people.

As far as Hadu is concerned, Zikon has definitely done a brainless thing: they sent a high-ranking member of the clan to meet with Hadu, and then rushed to send troops without knowing the depth of their personal guards. Instead of worrying about these hot-headed old rivals, he was worried about that Preg Zikern's moves.

If someone waved his weapon at him, he would not hesitate to fight back, but if the other person spoke to him in a friendly voice, he would of course respond with the same intimacy. Preg was quite regular in "Fa Lie", and he didn't unleash any predatory ability against Hado, and he did it so well that Hadu couldn't catch any words. In this way, Hado can only put the other person back in the end - imprisoning the other party still needs to take care of the food, and Hado does not like this kind of thankless work.

After the battle, Hadu, accompanied by his personal guards, went to the dungeon of the alpine bunker to "visit" the anxious Comrade Preig. Retreating from both sides, Hadu and Preg looked at each other: the former was extremely calm, and the latter was indeed sweating.

What did Hadu talk to Preg about at the end, which was not the point, the focus was on the agreement between Zikern and the "Koman'ne":

1. Zikern helped the "Koman'ne" to escape from the eastern strip of the idle Jewish exile "Faret", and the latter promised to maintain a neutral attitude when the former entered the area;

2. Hadu promised not to take the initiative to attack the Zikern tribes for 500 years, and Zikeen suspended the pursuit of Hadu;

3. In the case of the Iger clan, if either Zikkorn or the "Koman'ne" party obtains information about it, they must notify each other as soon as possible.

The affairs of the Egger clan made Hadu unhappy: all kinds of contradictions were caused by them, and Hadu did not get any benefits, although the other party helped him many times, in fact, it was just a matter of repaying all kinds of favors before.

As for the ability to enforce the agreement, Preg said that most of the main fighting factions in the clan were eliminated in this battle, but he can go back with the peace agreement, and this execution ability is still very strong. According to Pregg, two of his brothers also died at the hands of Hado, but instead of hatred and sadness, he felt luck and happiness - for too long, Zikern was controlled by hawks, and the clan fought for so many years, but the actual development was not established. Support for this idea of exporting killings has been declining year by year, and the generation of Preg does not want to continue this path - they also want to establish their own kingdom like the Romans, but the years of fighting have led to a low population base within the tribe, and the ability to deter foreign races is not as strong as that of the Romans, so it is difficult to establish an actual civilization and political power.

The same is true of the Iger clan: the feud between the two clans has slowed them down, and there have been many times when they have established their respective city-states, and the other side will come and cause trouble. It was during this period of time that due to the changes of the Jews, both communities waited relatively calmly for this turning point in history to pass slowly, and then it was quiet for a while.

Hadu had received reports from his guards that in the Eastern Territories and the Niger River Valley, there would be several fights between the two tribes every year, and they were basically fought as soon as they met, and no one thought about stopping to have a good conversation, and no one had seriously considered the reason for the fight-the kind of contradictions that existed tens of thousands of years ago had long since faded in the long river of history, and Hadu really didn't understand why they were so stubborn to destroy each other.

If we look at the cultures of the two clans, there is a great conflict in their legends about the relationship between the two clans: Zikern says that the Iger clan is the culprit, while Iger says that the Zikon clan is all pink eye. Hadu can't tell which is true or which is false, but one thing he is sure of is that the descendants of these two tribes may not have inherited the real culture. In history, the two clans have torn each other apart many times, and these escaped clans are terrified, and it is not easy to tell clearly what happened back then, to say that they will not add or delete the plot with their own emotions, then no one will reply, but this will lead to the history becoming more and more blurred, and at this historical turning point, the two clans are completely blindly fighting with the hatred handed down from their ancestors, but they can't grasp the essence of it.

Hadu had already had enough of these annoying things about Zikon and Iger, so this time he also bluntly proposed to Preg that if Zikon and him did not get along with each other during the past 500 years, he hoped that the time would be able to solve the historical problems left over from thousands of years ago. Preg also readily agreed, with the power he could now grasp, he would definitely be able to control public opinion within his clan, but if Iger had another conflict with them at that time, Hadu might need to mediate. In this regard, Hado said that as long as he can not trouble him in the years to come, so that the two clans can live happily and no longer cause trouble to Hado, then it is also his duty to maintain friendly relations between the two sides.

Preg was escorted out of the "Fare" area by personal guards, and Hado returned to the cave to continue his research. In fact, he was also selfish: he quietly carried out a plunder of Pregg, by marking the location of the other party when he was plundered, and in reverse "plundering the state in which Preg would forget the image of Hado in his old age". In this way, wherever Preg goes, Hadu can clearly know the position of the other party, and he will have the ability to supervise the implementation of the agreement between the two parties.

At this time, Hado suddenly had a new idea: why can't he also try to pass on his knowledge and abilities to his past self, and maybe it can produce all kinds of interesting results. He said he would do it, but he didn't know that it would make him discover a shocking story. !
