Denison Henry is also in a hurry.

He doesn't know so much about military affairs, but he always understands the simplest numbers. No matter how good Perbov's army can fight, it will not be able to replace the role of 100,000 men.

He was here in the artillery position, gathering the rout, and the effect was actually not bad.

The main thing is that the twelve cannons lined up in this line are too bluffing. When the rout retreated here, when they saw these artillery, they couldn't help but slow down.

Then, Henry came forward again, and the turnips and sticks were put in place, leaving the people for a while.

The so-called carrot, that is money.

Henry was rich, but not that rich. He has only been developed in the past two months, and he has earned a lot, but he lacks some accumulation.

But the key is that he is willing to spend money now, and even spend all his money, and even go into debt, which is okay.

Anyway, as long as 'win' and defend it, Junk Town will eventually be incorporated into the rule of the Governor and implement the institutional policies of the new alliance, and the 'money' thing will not make much sense at all.

This information, those ordinary adventurers don't know, is now willing to throw a large amount of money out of the currency is still useful.

And the other big stick is the desertion policy promulgated by Junk Town. For adventurers to keep fleeing, Junk Town must of course come up with some solutions. In fact, during this time, many adventurers who had left the front line were executed as deserters.

This part of the pressure was still transmitted to the front line.

At the time of the collapse, everyone was running, the law was not responsible, and there were no military judges enforcing combat discipline, so of course no one took this thing seriously.

And at this moment, someone has mentioned it, there is a heavy artillery here, and they are willing to double the money, and those adventurers naturally have to think carefully about how to choose.

Of course, there is another key factor that cannot be ignored, that is, after the adventurers are reorganized, they are not immediately sent to the front line.

They had just been crushed by the green-skinned orcs, and if they were sent to the front line immediately, I am afraid that nothing would work. But it would be much better to just regain the organization, reorganize on the spot, stay next to the artillery positions, and not have to go to battle in person.

And through these adventurers, continuing to gather more adventurers can play an expanding role.

Within a few hours, Henry had about four or five thousand adventurers gathered at his disposal.

With these men, Henry had the idea of sending them to the front to fight.

However, after contacting Perbow, the answer he got was that there was no need to send anyone over, and they didn't have much of a problem here.

Mainly, the slaughtering regiment was reorganized.

The head of the Li Kohi regiment, Henry also knew. Half of the Beast Slaughter Regiment, under his leadership, finally had time to regroup their morale behind the defensive line formed by the 1st Synthetic Battalion. They were re-formed and then thrown into the front line, which greatly filled the manpower of each fire point and alleviated the problem of insufficient infantry in the 1st Composite Battalion.

In this way, the defense line of about six kilometers in the fifth district can be regarded as impregnable.

The difficult part is another front that is about fifty kilometers long.

The greenskins had died down in front of the First Battalion, but they could attack another position at any time.

In fact, it is likely that this is already happening.

But to make matters worse, neither Henry nor Perbov had a grasp of the overall situation.

These armies composed of free adventure regiments, even what defense line they are responsible for, they all take on the task and choose it themselves, they don't even have a unified centralized command, obviously there are 100,000 people, but many people actually think about taking risks, picking up garbage, and making money. The team that didn't get the hiring task didn't have the idea of working hard with those green skins at all, so that the huge number couldn't exert its strength at all.

But at the very least, Swann should have a big picture.

He got in touch with the garbage town boss again, on the one hand, he wanted to know how the battle was now, and if there was anything that needed support, the three or five thousand people he had just gathered in his hands could be temporarily put on top - but he couldn't trust their combat effectiveness too much.

On the other hand, he wanted to know that many of the previous adventure groups were either chosen by themselves, or hired by other wavering merchants and agents, to protect the situation of those insects running away, whether they had been curbed?

……

"I'm going to fix that right now."

After hanging up the communication with Henry, Swann put on a calm face and pushed open the door of the conference room in front of him.

Inside, there were already quite a few people sitting.

His appeal was still reflected at this time.

If it weren't for him, no one would have been able to gather so many agents and important businessmen together at a time when there was such a chaos and even many people were thinking of abandoning everything and running away.

But that's about it.

There was a commotion in the conference hall, and many people had a rather obvious look of impatience on their faces.

The content of their quarrels is also very conventional, in fact, they have quarreled many times in the past.

There are those who stick to it, and there are those who give up;

There are also those who want to build a unified army in Junk Town, and they can't go on like this; Others said that the supervision of those adventure groups should be strengthened, the assignment of tasks should be more reasonable, and the remuneration should be increased......

Swann actually listened secretly for a while before entering the door.

The controversy at the scene was actually similar to what he had known before.

Most people still want to keep it.

No matter how dangerous the situation is, everyone's industry is still in the garbage town.

In this wasteland, the value of 'floating wealth' is very low.

Currency? You can't eat or drink this thing, and it's not in a stable society where money can buy everything. In the wasteland, it's all too common to have money and not be able to buy things. Even if it is an alliance currency issued by the alliance, it may not be recognized by many places if it runs farther, and the purchasing power fluctuates greatly.

What is really valuable is the actual material, whether it is food or raw materials or weapons and equipment, these are the wealth.

Another important asset is industry.

There are many things that rely on industry. Machinery, site, raw material origin, business channels, business environment...... Many of the people present were mixed into the position of agents, and they all had industries.

To abandon the city of Restoration is to give up the greatest wealth they have.

You don't necessarily cry when you see the coffin, let alone if you haven't seen it yet.

It's just that the situation is a little collapsed now, and those green-skinned orcs haven't rushed into the garbage town yet. Many people are indeed reluctant to give up the garbage town, which is equivalent to scattering money.

But on the other hand, many business-type agents who do not have constant production and rely on freight and channels want to run away. Although the loss of the gang running away is not small, it is better than continuing to top it and the situation completely collapses and cannot escape.

However, the next piece of news that Swann is going to announce is likely to change the situation.

When he stood on the rostrum, the chaotic quarrels gradually subsided.

People began to wait for him to speak, preferably with some good news.

And Swann did not disappoint them: "The rout from the 18th to the 5th has stopped, and a coalition army from Fuxing City accepted my request, and they not only blocked the hole in the defensive line, but also pushed back two kilometers. At the same time, the troops on the other positions, retreating in an orderly manner, have re-established a new defensive line with the 5th district as the core. The situation has stabilized for the time being. ”

The news is exciting!

The army that belonged to Governor Gu came to the side of Garbage Town, which was something that everyone knew. People who are not well-informed will not be able to sit in this room.

Someone asked, "Is the Governor coming to help us?" Will he help us solve the problems of those green-skinned beasts once and for all? ”

"Yes." Swann replied in the affirmative.

In fact, he hadn't had a chance to communicate with Governor Gu yet, and had only talked to Henry.

But that doesn't stop him from talking about it now.

And this news is really exciting!

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Greenskin crisis has spread to the present, and it is no longer something that can be solved by the garbage town itself. With the introduction of the power of the Governor who has completely mastered Fuxing City, there is hope that this problem will be solved.

Some of the smarter people, however, have another key in mind.

A man with dirty, knotted blond hair stood up and confronted Swan, "And what about the price?" At what cost? ”

Swann looked over at him.

That's his adversary, Nasser.

The second-ranked agent in the entire garbage town, unlike him, this Nasser does not have many physical industries, and his biggest 'industry' is the adventure group.

There are at least thirty large and small adventure groups active around Junk Town, which he has pulled together through various methods such as funding, sponsorship, and direct formation. He controls the harvesting and sales channels of these parties, and can directly issue tasks to them.

These thirty adventure groups, thousands of people in the big ones, dozens of people in the small ones, and a total of twenty or thirty thousand armed adventurers who were influenced and controlled by him.

He also has a close connection with the many raiders of the wasteland.

This is a nasty guy, and it is the person Swann is most wary of in this greenskin crisis. He's the typical guy who doesn't have an estate, and his wealth is in those 'people'. If the garbage is scrapped, Nasser will of course suffer serious losses, but he can take people with him to find a way to open up another 'ruin mine', or simply become a raider for a while.

If someone has a gun, there is always a way to live.

In the face of Swan's menacing gaze towards him, Nasser didn't care. He cracked his mouth, bared a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said, "Will the governor be kind enough to help us fight this battle for free?" Our Mr. Swan, what did you promise the governor? ”

His question silenced the scene again.

The Governor's willingness to come to help is of course a good thing, but the cost of this thing must also be asked.

Other agents, large and small, waited for Swan's answer.

Swann smiled, "At the cost of the entire garbage town." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent.

Even his old rival, Nasser, was denied.

He tried to block Swan, but how did you say it all yourself?

He still thought about how to ask again, and then clarified the claim that Swan had betrayed some specific rights in Junk Town, in order to embarrass Swan even more, but he didn't expect to hear a piece of news that made him jaw-dropping.

That's not a betrayal of any rights, it's a whole sale, and there's nothing left!

Nasser, who had come to his senses, laughed. His hoarse and ugly laughter was very sharp: "You betrayed the whole garbage town to the governor?" What right do you have to do that! Junk Town, is it yours alone?! ”

Swann smiled indifferently at the challenge.

"To correct you a little, it is not a 'betrayal', but a 'price'. Is it up to me to decide whether the Governor wants to come and save Junktown, and at what cost? ”

"What do you mean?"

"Let me be a little more clear." Swann said, "The Governor believes that Garbage Town is a member of the Alliance, and that he is the ruler of the entire planet, and that Garbage Town should be ruled by him, and that it should be included in the new Alliance's system. It's just that Junk Town is in a huge difficulty, and he is in the midst of the Greenskin crisis, and he wants to help his people. ”

Swann took the word 'help to the people' very hard.

Many people understood what he meant, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

And some people don't understand, or they understand but don't want to.

Nasser was still clamoring: "Why did he do this? When we have 100,000 people and 100,000 guns here, are they for nothing?! Those factories, those industries, are our property! Why did he say take it and take it? Is it just because he's the governor?! ”

Some people who don't know why are clamoring along with them.

Swann looked at them, but let out a cold snort and didn't say much.

Slowly, some people began to reminisce and gradually shut up.

Nasser's face finally turned ugly.

There are not enough of his supporters.

Gritting his teeth, he said to Swan, "You're going to kill them all?" ”

"I didn't say that."

"I'm leaving with my people! Let's go! ”

Swann finally smiled, and smiled brightly: "That's not going to work. It's a state of emergency, the fighting outside the city isn't over yet, the threat of the Greenskins is still serious, and the Governor is about to arrive, so I propose that Junk Town enter a state of emergency from now on, and the whole town will be under martial law, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave! ”

According to the process, he made a proposal to the voting stage. But today, he did not raise his hands in favor, but in the naysayers.

Nasser shouted in disapproval, and a few others joined him in roaring with indignation.

But it didn't work, and most people remained eerily silent.

With a smile, Swann announced, "Then from this moment on, Garbage Town is officially under martial law." ”
