Chapter 1501: Worry

Fighting demons is everyone's consensus, yes. But no one wants to be commanded by a mediocre person and lose their lives for no reason.

Everyone considered himself a tactical genius who could lead everyone to immortal feats. It is their duty to command the people and win the victory. Therefore, every struggle for command, large and small, is a wrestling within human beings.

It can only be said that before the real battle against the demons, the human side is full of hope. And the defeat in the first battle before was all the result of the empire's selfish blind command, not that everyone did not have the strength to fight.

Such a thought is the general perception of the vast majority. This disturbs the people of the world, including Ezio, who have ever confronted demons. Some people will warn their peers with concern, only to be ridiculed as cowards.

It's just that these people who can come out alive from the hands of demons, whether they win or flee at the beginning, they have a higher level than ordinary warriors. So whether they are ridiculed or not, there is still a group of people who follow them.

Ezio was smarter. He neither warned nor even told the officer who received them that he had fought with demons. The head of the Great Demon that was originally submitted to the Adventurer's Guild was also cut off by him.

Life in elementary school is a group of children of similar age. To put it bluntly, no one is convinced.

If you want to convince others, it is useless to rely on words, you have to show real achievements. Either it is to take advantage of it to buy people, not necessarily money, but maybe when you are hungry, take an extra piece of bread; Usually give an extra piece of sugar. In this way, it is enough for a group of children.

Besides, a magician who is burdened by fame is also a good negative example for Ezio. I didn't see that guy had no ability, but he was constrained and guarded against everywhere. Although there are some people who support him, on the whole, there are still many people who are unhappy with him.

In the same way, instead of going out of the limelight and turning yourself into a target, it is better to operate silently among the grassroots soldiers.

Don't look at the fact that everyone is happy to share the command now, in fact, everyone knows that when the real fight starts, except for the regular armies of those big and small countries, whoever gives quick and correct instructions and has good popularity will be able to mobilize more people to cooperate with his actions. To put it bluntly, everyone is still the style of the adventurer team in their bones, who is smart with whom, and then stay away from stupid.

That's why Ezio didn't choose to let his fellow Brotherhood members huddle together, pull up a team on their own, and gather some stragglers. Instead, they chose to break everyone up and merge into the team that already existed.

A certain magician may not know it himself, but most of the children who have left the primary school and are venturing in the delirious land know one thing, that is, the education of the primary school is a talented education that only a very few people in the delirious land have the opportunity to get. There may be a lack of lessons like 'how to govern a territory', but all the things learned are rare knowledge that few people outside teach.

Most of the adventurers who are out and about leaving home have the strength and a little ambition. If you're lucky, you'll be able to meet a soldier at a young age to teach you some simple hacking techniques, or a hunter to teach you some archery tricks. Most people have little knowledge other than their passion, and they don't even know words.

That's why it's easy for a mage or magic apprentice to take the lead in a team of adventurers. Because they are rare 'intellectuals' among the adventurers.

However, those who were very painful when they learned, and only after they came out found that the knowledge that could be used everywhere became the only way for children from elementary school to quickly integrate into the group of adventurers.

Coupled with the fact that they are already living in groups, all the children are accustomed to the role of conductor or being directed, guided by someone's intentional or unintentional curriculum.

Not only simple cooperation, but also know how to cooperate and help each other. Because if you don't help each other, sometimes you may be disgusted by the inadvertent malice of a magician. This allows the Brotherhood members, who are scattered across the teams, to quickly become the center of the team.

If they weren't for the fact that they joined later, it might be that in the early stages of the struggle for command, the members of these fraternities could quickly occupy all the captains, squad leaders, etc., and directly lead the soldiers.

But even if it is not, as long as they go to the battlefield, once those captains who speak very loudly make mistakes, I am afraid that the soldiers will quickly change their minds and follow those young people who can take responsibility for themselves.

This result was what Ezio had expected, and even the Brotherhood friends had done it better than expected.

He will not forget his most important task, which is to gain a certain voice in the coalition forces. Then, at the right time, introduce the World Tree and the Elves, including their different requirements.

And it is different from the way most people will choose to go directly to the high-level route and rely on the names of some elders to subdue other noble lords. Ezio believed more in the power of the majority, and in the willpower of unity.

The noble lords were only relying on their power to make the soldiers obey their will. In that case, then why don't I just woo the soldiers. ’

This was Ezio's idea, and he did, convincing his fellow Brotherhood to follow his routine. Although everyone is scattered among the teams, there are forums to communicate with each other, which could not be more convenient.

The sieve-like secrecy of the forum is certainly clear to those who came from elementary school. But they don't think they're involved in anything prohibitive, so why avoid forums that are so convenient. The real forbidden parts are still hidden in Ezio's heart.

However, Ezio also knew very well that the calculation in his heart worked, and a big reason was that the army of the Southern Front was really a rabble! It is an incredible thing for an officer to worry at all times whether his soldiers will obey orders.

If it were an ordinary army, even if it had not been trained to the point of command, the noble lords would have had a way to control their soldiers. After all, these people are all from their own people, and one person can run and fight, can a family also do the same?

However, many of the soldiers gathered on the Southern Front were adventurers who had volunteered to come here.

Mercenaries collect money to do things, and for the sake of money, they still know how to obey commands. In the face of these willing adventurers, there is really no means to force them to obey.

The persecution was so great that they leaned directly towards the others. So those who wish to be able to command a team can only follow the wishes of these soldiers who are made up of adventurers, hoping to lure everything in a good direction.

It is precisely this situation that makes Ezio, who originally had the ambition to lead his fellow Brotherhood here, no longer aim to defeat the demons, and the door of the abyss is not closed. It is to preserve as much as possible the living forces of the human side.

Although he was disappointed, he had to admit that Ezio, who had experienced the power of demons firsthand, did not think that the humans of the Southern Front now had a chance to defeat the combined forces of demons and orcs.

They are too ill-prepared and too optimistic. It seems that as long as the human side attacks, the demon alliance will directly collapse. In fact, according to Ezio's assessment, the situation may be reversed.

The almost crazy fighting spirit and fighting spirit of the half-orc soldiers are the easiest to collapse ordinary people. It is not true to deprive them of their lives, and it is simply impossible to stop the swords that are cut at them. Even if they break their hands and feet, they will hit their heads and bite with their teeth!

Can the human coalition at this stage have such an awareness?

According to a certain magician, no matter how powerful an army is, no matter how brave a soldier is, there will be a key turning point in its morale. And where the turning point of the orcs is, Ezio can't see for the time being.

The object that made Ezio's scalp tingle even more was the demon who had been in close contact with him.

From childhood to adulthood, Ezio has definitely come into contact with many strong people. And these strong people are not the kind of goods that come out of a hundred or choose one out of a thousand, but the level of one person who slays a dragon and destroys a country by one person. Ezio had even sparred with such people.

But sparring, after all, is not a life-and-death fight! Even after making him feel that his life was in danger and fighting with the demon prince Azade several times, Ezio now seems to have released water.

What gave Ezio this level of realization was the escape battle of the Abyss Gate, which almost sang the end of his life.

At that time, even the most powerful pursuer, the great demon who had his head cut off by himself, was not strictly speaking stronger than the great demon Starina, who was with Azad. But these demons are serious about killing themselves, no matter the cost!

At first, relying on the surprise of the Dragon's Tooth Hidden Blade, he really saved the lives of the first one or two demons. Although he was not unharmed, the injuries he suffered were still within an acceptable range, at least he was not disabled or severed.

But the endless stream of half-orc chasers and demons made this escape battle, which was like a picnic outing, turn into a desperate battle that is not surprising when you lose your life.

At the end of the battle, Ezio had no memory of how he had returned to the human settlement, handed over the head of the archdemon to the counter of the Adventurer's Guild, and how he had returned to the holy city of Estari.

Those things were all said by Rowan and Kish afterwards. It was only from the perspective of a third person that Ezio knew what he had done.

The only impression I have is that I will fight to the death with one demon after another and become the one who survives.

There is not much time to deal with every demon. Just like on the battlefield, if you don't deal with the enemy in front of you as soon as possible, when the second and third catch up, you will have to face multiple enemies at the same time.

Ezio can't say that he can't solve the opponent, and now as a companion, everyone in the army must not be able to deal with it. Maybe after the army is formed, the combat power of everyone will be different. After all, fighting a war is not a matter of individual soldier against individual soldier.

No amount of reasons could convince Ezio himself. He said that the army he was in could really defeat the demons and drive the orcs back to the ground as everyone expected.

This is not pessimism, but concern about the unknown state of the territory occupied by demons and orcs.

It wasn't unthinkable for Ezio to go in and find out again. There are many adventurers who are not good at attacking head-on battles and choose such a mission. But these people didn't come back and tell me what they saw and what they encountered.

However, it has entered the official army establishment, and it is not easy to run around. To make matters worse, Ezio felt a slight fear of the demon-occupied land, as if there was some great horror in it. All this made him feel uneasy.
