Chapter 132: Take
The cities of this world are not like those ancient Chinese cities on the earth, the big cities have four gates, the small cities also have two gates, and the cities here often have only one gate.
But this gate also made the consul order people to block it tightly with sandbags, let alone run any mount, it was difficult to squeeze through the gap between the sandbags, let alone how to open the gate. Fortunately, these nobles are quite flexible in their brains, and they can't walk through the city gate and the city walls. This is also a blessing that there is only one gate in the city, and the men and horses of the Jerutes are all on the other side of the gate, and there is no one on the back.
The soldiers at the head of the city slowly lowered the nobles to the ground with baskets hanging one after another, and then slid down the rope themselves. Before the Jeruts entered the city to search for them, they were all gone.
That's not bad, otherwise there will be a lot of killing. The killing was not terrible, it was terrible that it might inspire the Jetters to revolt, unlike now, where families closed their doors and windows, honestly waiting for this historic city to change its flag.
In less than five days, the story of Rossi's next city soon spread within Jerut, and it was unbelievable that a team of 10,000 people could conquer a city. Although there is an element of trickery in this, they turned into people and secretly entered the city, but after all, this is a real merit, and no one can deny it.
Tostai called Rossi's name many times at the meeting, emphatically praised Rossi's strategy, and even pointed out that in the new war situation, the use of strategy will have a great effect, calling on everyone to use their brains more when fighting, and use strategy as much as possible, and don't think about confronting others all day long. To conquer a region with one country, population is the biggest shortcoming, and if one dies, one will be less. Even if there are slave legions and death squads, they will not be able to make ends meet, and they will have a great impact on the grand strategy in the future.
According to Tostås, he seems to have the idea of taking Rossi a step further and becoming a general of the Front. However, there is no clear statement, just a thought for everyone. The main reason is that Rossi has made too few meritorious contributions, and his rash promotion may make some old people have opinions, and Tostey is not a fool, this is just a vaccination.
Immediately after conquering the city, Rossi arranged for the priests to carry out missionary work. This is a time when people are in turmoil and panic, and this is the best time to preach. People are full of fear about the future and don't know what awaits them. In Jetter's propaganda, once the Jeruts conquered a city, they would reduce the city's former names to slaves and serve the Jerutian army, allowing them to beat and bully them.
The appearance of the priest shrouded in light, which greatly reassured the people, and made the ordinary people of Jettel understand that even if even if there was a change of ruler, their life would not become difficult, but would become easier.
War means opportunity, and opportunity means upward passage. In this era of population tension, as long as you dare to fight, kill, and take risks, you will definitely reap the rewards.
Slaves will become commoners, commoners will become citizens, and citizens will go one step further to the nobility. As long as there is a war merit, even if it is a reward for a high-ranking nobleman, the archon will gladly agree.
After a week's rest and management, Rossi, as interim consul, loosened military control of the city, and focused more of his attention on two other places.
One is Hogg, who will participate in the battle against Jettel as a front-line member this time. With his strength, he is definitely not an opponent against a god of the Lord God level. But he wasn't afraid, the Goddess of Dawn gave him a pair of eyes that were enough for him to deal with any difficulty. Even if he was crushed by the main god in terms of strength, it was very difficult to kill him. Besides, his main opponents are still those ordinary secondary gods and lower gods, and that is his main battlefield.
Another aspect that Rossi focuses on is Michael's performance.
When it comes to using the power of the Church of Light, the archon and Tostey have two mindsets. The former is wary of the Church of Light, considering the Church of Light's demagogic ability and the extremely aggressive nature of the Church of Light's teachings. He decreed that within Jerut, no active contact with the missionaries was forbidden, and that missionaries would need permission from the local consuls to preach, otherwise they would be considered a rebellion.
Tostey had a very different attitude, believing that the power of the Church of Light, although powerful, was not incapable of being used for its own purposes. The priests and bishops had the ability to heal wounds, which was extremely important in war, and more importantly, they could heal not only physical wounds, but also hearts, which was the key.
Soldiers left their homes to fight for the gods and their country. At the beginning, it may indeed be full of passion and want to make achievements, but after a long time and seeing too much life and death, it is inevitable that a tired and slack mind will be born, and there will be a kind of war-weariness. This emotion is extremely terrifying, and can make a heroic warrior become decadent, lose morale and self-confidence, and eventually become cannon fodder.
They don't know what they're fighting for, and they don't know what the war will end up in, so naturally they can't keep their fighting spirits high. Generally speaking, in order to cope with this change, Tostai will carry out regular rotations, moving the soldiers from the front line to the rear to rest and recuperate, and the soldiers who have been adjusted in the rear to the front to fight. It's stupid, but it can help.
But with the priests of the Holy Light Church, they can help the soldiers establish a new three views, so that the soldiers are not afraid of death, have the courage to give, and can maintain high morale. Although there is another headache behind this, in the context of this moment, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
As for what happened to the religious soldiers, Tostey didn't have any worries - let's live until the end of the reunification!
Under these circumstances, a large number of missionaries from the Church of the Light poured into Jeruth's army, spreading the Father's light to every occupied territory.
As the representative of the armed forces of the Holy Light Church, Michael is naturally the one that has attracted much attention.
On this expedition, Michael led the Knights of the Holy Light to form an independent formation, and completely wiped out the two legions in the field with a large margin of more than 2,000 people, shaking the entire Jeruth army.
Many people began to reach out to Michael privately, hoping to gain the reason for the strength of the Knights of Light.
In fact, to put it bluntly, fanatical believers and the ability given by God are the foundation of the Knights of Light's strength.
Many people are hesitating to turn their soldiers into fanatical believers. They were worried that once the soldiers became fanatical believers, they would lose control of the army.
It's a double-edged sword that can hurt others as well as yourself.
