The bandit's plan is proposed, and it seems that the best of both worlds, and there is room for both sides. But in fact, if you analyze it carefully, this plan itself is not good for the bandits.
Taking a step back, even if the military agrees to let them integrate into society, what will happen after they integrate into society? Who controls the society? How can such a large number of people be placed? When they become a new mercenary group? It is not easy to suppress them, and the mercenary alliance and the military and other institutions are all one. On the surface, they are a mercenary group, but they continue to rob in private? That's just an opportunity to catch a deal and serve it in one pot.
If you want to implement a similar approach, you must at least have someone at the top of society cover it. At least it has to be at the level of the city lord, and then the bandits can be assigned to the city lord to transform. It doesn't matter anything, not to mention the mentally retarded communication skills of the bandit leader, even if the mastermind behind the scenes is a nanny all the time, he can't fool it.
Why the bandits can be rampant to this extent, the mastermind behind the scenes is one aspect, but the root of it still lies in this geographical advantage. It's foggy, hilly, crystal balls are hard to detect, and a lot of caves and traps have been excavated. Without these geographical advantages, no matter how good the mastermind behind the scenes is, it is impossible to train the bandits to the point of facing the regular army head-on.
And the bandits who go out of this area to integrate into society? It is tantamount to giving up their own advantages and going to the territory of the "enemy". Will General Oude's suffering from the loss of his son still haunt you?
But if you don't integrate into society, what else can you do? Kevin and the others put themselves in the shoes of the thieves and considered deduction, but they couldn't do anything about it.
Although the bandits occupy the geographical advantage, this geographical advantage is not infinitely effective. When a Saint-Rank master is truly angered, these so-called fortifications and caves are nothing more than broken earth under the sword, and it is a big deal to plow the ground piece by piece. It may take a little longer, but it's about the same in a week or two. A sword passed, and no matter who was hiding inside, the cave collapsed directly and was buried alive to death. Take a step back, if the Juggernaut can't handle it, then the only way to do it is to ask for a giant staff to wash it.
So if General Oude really disregards his prisoners and forcibly strikes, then even the mastermind behind the scenes will be helpless, and even if the mastermind behind the scenes shows up and walks to the stage, there is only a dead end, no matter who he is. And the bandits have only one way to go crazy, because at least at the last moment they can live more excitingly.
This is the hinterland of Lou Baole country, not the border line, let alone a foreign country. Even if the mastermind behind the scenes is a space mage, it is impossible to open the space for teleportation without registration permission. The teleportation array throughout the country is not only a means of transportation for action, but also a stabilizing device for fixing the space within the country. Without special permission, it is extremely difficult to teleport with personal strength. And even if it is successfully transmitted, its coordinates will be recorded and there is nothing to hide.
Strictly speaking, the military will not compromise with bandits, and the captives are all soldiers, not commoners or nobles. It's just that the news hasn't spread yet, so you can wait for the time being. But if the general loses patience, then the farce can end.
Pushing forward and backward, no matter how you push it, at present, the bandits are a dead end. As for making the general promise to let the bandits go or something like that, it's even more of a joke. When the time comes, the general glances at the people on the side, and the people on the side rush up and cut them clean. The answer can be very innocent: "I promised to let you go, but he didn't?" or "What's the matter with you?" Didn't you say let them go? ”......
To tell the truth, these are not troubled times, so you shouldn't be a bandit. In this year, once the government begins to pay attention to the clean-up, it may suffer a loss due to some problems at first, but the final outcome will not change. The strength of the two sides was extremely unequal, and the size, individual strength, follow-up ability, and public opinion tendency were all one-sided towards the regular army.
So what is the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes? Will he fight for these bandits and the regular army? Will he really think about the future of the bandits? Will he really benefit the bandits? How is it possible?
Judging from the results of Start's real-time negotiations, the voice said that he would kill him several times, but the bandits did not do anything, and the bandit boss seemed to be a little shaken by what Starter said and temporarily detained him. It is estimated that the prestige of the mastermind behind it is not enough, but the question is, why don't the masterminds behind the scenes do it themselves?
This reminded Kevin that he was once in the country of Leibozier, and the person behind the door also "ordered" to kill him, but in the end no one moved. But the situation at that time was much more complicated, surrounded by people, and as soon as it appeared, it was equivalent to appearing in front of the stage, which could cause serious diplomatic incidents. At the same time, the time was very short, and the ambassador Lou Baole quickly arrived and picked up the people.
But now it's completely different, and the discussion believes that there is no such thing as not being strong enough to kill. Although the mastermind behind the scenes was once severely injured by Kevin with a catapult, he is a master after all, and there are methods, and Starter is just a prisoner. It's been a long time, it's been a night, it's pitch black there, and with the ability of the people behind the scenes, it's absolutely easy to take down the people in a cage.
But why didn't you take action? It can only be analyzed that the mastermind behind the scenes is no longer in the lair of the bandits. They're just using some kind of telephonic magic to make a long-range mouth cannon.
In fact, this is also very understandable, if General Oude is really angry, rushes in and chops indiscriminately, and as soon as the mountain collapses, wouldn't the mastermind behind the scenes also follow the funeral? Even if the mastermind behind the scenes also has the strength of the Sword Master, he has to escape. This has a high chance of being discovered here, and this side has a high chance of winning with three hits and one. And as long as the time drags on a little longer, the follow-up Lou Pauler National Grand Magister and so on will be teleported over one after another.
So it seems that as long as there is a little foresight behind the scenes, they will not stay there. This is really a consolation for Stat, at least for now, it is equivalent to comparing the skills of the people behind the scenes, rather than the strength of the fighting spirit.
A careful review of their conditions shows that the general's guarantee is difficult to verify, and it is impossible to integrate into society, but there is still a buffer period of "one month". What are they going to do this month? But it is likely to be very detrimental to the military, such as public opinion propaganda or something. The reputation of the Thunder Knights is already in jeopardy, and if it drags on like this, it is bound to be a serious problem.
So, the general sent a message back to ask Start to negotiate the "one-month" time limit, and he must find a way to shorten the deadline as much as possible, preferably even if it is negotiated tomorrow, and the bandits will come out to "integrate into society".
This talk, a whole day. Both Stat and the voice did their best to fight each other, and Stat had repeatedly pulled the bandit over the head and tried to drive a wedge between them. It feels like it's progressing a bit, but it doesn't seem to be there. As for the topic of how long should he wait, the other party bites to death for a month and does not let go.
In the process, the bandits have become bored and are engaged in the side. The cave is full of sound and eloquence, and it becomes a strange picture.
And the next day, the continued, but both sides began to run out of words. The same line begins to recur, with occasional long periods of silence. But even so, the negotiations continued to be forced. For Start, if he can't talk about it, then he has no need to live. For the mastermind behind the scenes, it is also beneficial for him to delay it like this. For bandits, it's actually a few more days to live.
The only thing that is unpleasant is undoubtedly the military. At the end of the day, not only General Ou De's face was impatient, but even the other two sword saints who passed were also a little absent-minded.
Kevin had a faint feeling that if Start couldn't solve the problem, would it still be on his head? Judging from the news that came back, the bandits had clearly seen through Kevin's special effects tricks, and Kevin's excuse for not going was no longer there.
Another day passed, and the general began to look at Kevin from time to time, with undisguised eyes, and no matter what Kevin was doing at this time, it was as short as tens of seconds and as long as a minute or two. Kevin looked up at the general, and the general did not shy away from his eyes, so Kevin could only bow his head and avoid it.
Kai Wen confessed, this is the general's hint that he should go. He didn't say it explicitly, perhaps out of some consideration, but the implication was obvious. If Kevin continues to play dumb, then there may be two outcomes, one, the general has to open his mouth and give an order for Kevin to go. Second, the general will shoot himself, but the general will shoot, then no matter whether he is the enemy or me, he will die, but Kevin himself can survive.
But if Kevin goes, will it really solve the problem? Maybe it's just one more head. This may also be the reason why the general no longer gives orders, because no one knows whether this move is really useful. Sometimes recklessness and courage just depend on the result, success is bravery, failure is recklessness. Fighting is a gamble, and sometimes no matter how clever you are, you can't predict the outcome accurately.
This is another painful choice, and Kevin would even prefer the general to teach him what to do directly, so that he has no way out, but goes all out, instead of suffering from gains and losses like now. At that time, Kevin made excuses to shirk, but in the end, he was still afraid of death. But he also didn't want more than 200 captives to be killed, so he tried to offer someone else to negotiate. In this way, Kevin only needs to read the whole thing as a bystander, as if he had read a novel, and he can admire and praise the person sent to negotiate, but he will have nothing to lose.
However, things did not go well, and after a circle, it was still the starting point. Kevin has read countless heroic poems and occasionally fantasizes about scenes where he becomes a hero. But at this point, I only felt cold hands and feet. Sometimes heroes are all together, but when they are really calm, they inevitably look forward and backward. Even the calmer the person, the more entangled, and the more unbelieving in God, the more difficult it is for the person to die generously.
"Alas!" at night, facing thousands of stars, Kevin lay on the grass with his back to the sky. I can't sleep, I can only come out in a daze.
Suddenly, a crow flew in the air and landed not far away. Kevin couldn't see it clearly in the night, but it was probably him.
The crow walked in step by step, a little cautiously, and did not make any sound. Kevin was still lying down, but he turned his head to look at him, and the crow's feet had been replaced by a thicker iron ankle ring, both claws. Speaking of which, I haven't seen him since I came back from the Kaludia Hills. Now goodbye, there is also a feeling of being in a different world.
Reaching out his hand, the crow understood, and flew lightly to Kevin's arm. Kevin smiled, "You're getting fat." ”
The raven turned to look at him, but did not speak.
"Looks like you're doing a good job," Kevin continued, followed by some sadness, "and it's better than I do." ”
The crow was still silent, just quietly looking at Kevin, and Kevin also looked at him, one man and one bird half-moving as if the space had been frozen.
"Sign a contract," Kevin suddenly began, "equal." ”
The crow didn't react, still quietly watching Kevin. It's a pity that the bird's expression can't be seen, and Kevin also remembers that the three Sword Saints live here, maybe they are also observing. The crow could not speak, and could not even answer with movements.
"I'm sorry for the procrastination before," Kevin looked up at the sky, "and now you're in a much better place than I am, even if I'm cheeky once." Come on, it's just a contract of equality anyway. ”
The raven remained silent. Kevin nodded, closed his eyes, released his spiritual power, and silently recited the incantation in his heart. Feeling the spiritual power of the crows in the air, they were intertwined in a moment, and the contract was completed.
It took a lot less time to sign the contract this time than the last time I signed the big sister, which is of course because Kevin's mental power has grown after the big war, and at the same time, the crow's strong mental power is also quite helpful. After the contract was signed, Kevin felt the "powerful" spiritual power of the crow, although it was slightly worse than himself, but for an ordinary bird, this was already a first-class genius level.
"Old man, you finally signed a contract with me. The raven's voice came from the contract.
Kevin was silent.
"Hahaha," the crow laughed in the contract, "If I do bad things in the future, I can push it to the master, and someone will take the blame for me, hahaha!"
Kevin: "......"
"What the hell do you want to do?" Kevin still couldn't help but ask, the spiritual power transmission was not afraid of others finding out.
"If there is such a day, I will tell you again. The crow flapped its wings and flew to Kevin's left, jumped right to Kevin's right, and went back and forth.
Kevin didn't have much of a mind about the crow's plot at this time, and changed the subject back: "I'm going to go to the bandits' lair tomorrow." ”
The crow calmed down: "So what do I need to do?"
"Come in with me, just wander over there and find out the entrance to the bandits' lair. You are a special person, and no one may suspect a crow, but if you do, the mastermind behind it may send two owls to besiege you. All you have to do is run, just run away. Kevin spoke.
"Don't you need to blow those two stupid birds?" said the raven, who was as belligerent as ever.
"No, if you blow them both up, I'll be suspicious in the lair. I'm in danger, you just need to escape. Kevin replied, "Unless you can summon me with a reverse summoning spell." ”
The raven was silent.
"Once you've found out about the entrance, don't tell the generals lightly. Although these sword masters are strong, I am always at ease, and I can't destroy the world at every turn, and weak people like me just suffer. Wait for my news, when I really can't hold it anymore. As for how to say it, you should have your own method, I won't ask about that. Kevin added.
"No problem, old man. The raven replied.
"Thank you. Kevin is sincerely grateful, and he feels no worries when he is here.
"No thanks," the crow flew away, and the spiritual power still came, "When I do bad things in the future, just give me the blame, ahahaha......"
Kevin: "......" (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
