"I didn't expect that there would be such knowledge, if we had known that this was the case, we wouldn't have had a good time with the third prince, so that they would have sent so many Harvey troops to deal with us at once!" Che Yi sighed on the side. It is true that this is an irreparable mistake, if the 300,000 troops were not blocked there in front of the valley at that time, although the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army and other mercenary troops suffered some losses, they would not have let the two major legions of the Harvey Empire come here as they are now, and the pressure on the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army would have been unprecedentedly great.

"Hehe, there is no way to do it, if they are allowed to enter the Land of Chaos, then the entire Land of Chaos will be chaotic, and now although we are far away from the Land of Chaos, as long as we maneuver between these cities, so that they can't catch our weaknesses, then sooner or later, they will find that their trouble is not us, but others. Kong Ming said.

"Don't make a mistake, you haven't made it clear why you let Zhao Wu go and let him go back if you don't catch him, alas, the one just now wasn't careful enough, don't fool me with this well-known thing!" Yi Yiyi said, obviously she was still angry about why Kong Ming let go of Zhao Wu, and she didn't want to let Kong Ming go like this.

Seeing this situation, Kong Ming was a little speechless, couldn't what he said just now not clear enough? Could it be that this woman suspected that he knew Zhao Wu and then found an excuse to let him go? Kong Ming expressed this meaning, and the result really made Kong Ming guess wrong, Yi Yiyi said seriously:

"I know you're right, but it's not the reason I need, I need a more reasonable reason to report to my superiors why I brought a chicken to them when I could have caught a fat sheep. Of course, I admit that the reason you just said is very strong, but. Your Excellency, I have to remind you that this is something that can only be talked about among us, and it can only be implied on paper, that it is impossible to get a report, because this report may be obtained by the Harvey Empire at any time, and I don't want them to be replaced by one of my reports. So you have to give me a reason to gag everyone. Yi Yiyi said seriously. Kong Ming knew that she was looking for a reason for him not to change Zhao Wu, not to give those bosses an excuse to praise him.

"Well, you can write that. Kong Ming thought for a while, looked at Yi Yiyi and said, "This battle is extremely hard. The enemy was extremely stubborn under the orderly resistance, and our army's attack was thwarted for a time, but due to the ...... of our mercenary army"

"Stop, stop, I'm more familiar with this than you are, and you don't need to say anything to them. It's my business, but for now I just want an excuse for Zhao Wu to escape. And not a glorification of the defeated army. Hearing Kong Ming's incomparably numb words. Yi Yiyi felt that he was really crazy, and it really made him embarrassed to let someone who was not good at this.

"I'm not a connoisseur of this kind of thing. Kong Ming was finally annoyed, you know, he is not the kind of person who doesn't know the severity, but I don't know why his words just now also scared him into goosebumps. It would be good to say this kind of thing in the future.

The next day. Early morning. After a few hours of meditation, Kong Ming's spirit had completely recovered, and looking at the information sent by the divisions, Kong Ming felt a sense of relief. Exhaled. Kong Ming is really glad that there was no order to attack during the day yesterday, judging from the intelligence, yesterday there was a guard of the Harvey Seventh Legion in this city, and almost all of the people in this guard were composed of strong men above the seventh level, which is a common practice in the Harvey army, I don't know when it began, each legion has such a guard, they are almost all composed of seventh-level strongmen, even if there are some strong people who are not seventh-level, but they must be one of the best people in that industry in a certain aspect, and their generation is comparable to the regimental commander level in the army, which is usually called the blood guardThis is also illustrated by the achievements of these guards, who are usually the blades of the Harvey Legion Commander to turn the tide of battle, which has become a consensus across the continent, and countries have followed the example of the Harvey Empire, making it a mainstream. Even Kong Ming formed a guard team of many sixth- and seventh-level powerhouses, which also originated from this. When he saw this news just now, Kong Ming was really taken aback, if the guards of more than 1,000 people were really still in Wencheng, not to mention the outcome of this battle, even if the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army won this battle in the end, then the loss would be extremely severe, because this is the power that can directly turn the tide of the battle, and it is one of the most powerful forces in a legion. I want to come here thanks to Zhao Wu's low vigilance, after seeing the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army leave Wencheng, he hurriedly transferred the guards to the next city to the battle that has not yet come, and he left Wencheng with a few people, it was this small mistake that made Wencheng fall into the hands of the mercenary army.

"What's the matter, you seem to be in really good spirits right now? Che Yi asked on the side, the two have worked together for a long time, and they know each other very well, and they have not changed anything due to the difference between superiors and subordinates, which is also a characteristic of mercenaries in itself, because they are all hired personnel, and they are only commanding and being commanded with each other, and there is no real hierarchical relationship, so in addition to having a real rank between mercenaries at work, they are relatively casual in ordinary times.

"It's not that there's anything good, it's that there's nothing bad. Kong Ming shook the document in his hand, which was also the piece of information he had just received from Che Yi.

"Haha, I think about it, Zhao Wu never thought that he would almost lose his life for two women. ”

"Is the man happy to be dead!" Deng Si said on the side, he also came to the command after the battle, to see if Kong Ming had any tasks that could make him a little more tempting, to put it bluntly, this man is a battle maniac, as long as there is such an action, he wants to intervene.

"I've only heard of the fact that women are pleasing to those who are pleased, and scholars are dying, but I have never heard of the truth that men are dying for those who are pleased!" On the other side, Wen Yue also added, for a magician, erudition is a necessary condition, except of course for people like Kong Ming, who are half magicians and half swordsmen.

"Make a sentence, make a sentence!" Duns was busy remedy.

"Haha!"

"Haha!"

"Haha!"

"Haha!"

Everyone who heard it laughed, this Dunce is really a sentence-making talent.

"Head. What should we do next?Are we still going to attack directly according to the original plan?" Wen Yue asked on the side, after a few months of getting along, Kong Ming has been recognized by everyone, this has nothing to do with his age, but more because of his ability and personality. So slowly, more and more people began to use the title of head on Kongming's body. The people around were looking at Kong Ming, because this was related to the next plan, and everyone knew that if the mercenary army continued to wander like this, even if there were still 100,000 troops. However, the number of snow wolves will become smaller and smaller, and if they are not replenished, there is no way to continue the advantage of snow wolf mercenaries. You must know that the reason why the Snow Wolf mercenaries are now able to wander the territory of the Harvey Empire is because they have the speed that other armies do not have, once this advantage is destroyed. Then they will be surrounded by the Harvey army at any moment.

"I also thought that we can't keep fighting and wandering like this. If we keep doing this. We're going to end up in a mortal end, just like the mercenary armies that came before us. It just so happened that everyone was here, so let's discuss the next step. You can talk about your opinions, and we need to brainstorm on this matter. Kong Ming thought about it, he really couldn't wander anymore, like a wanderer. Once tired outside, they always need to go home, and the Land of Chaos is the mercenary army's first home, and now they need to build a home outside again. This home is the base they will have to deal with the continuous attack of the Harvey army next, with such a base, they will not be afraid of failure, and they will not be like now, once they fail, the entire mercenary army will be slaughtered by the Harvey army. Of course, there will be advantages and disadvantages, once they establish a base, then they will lose the biggest advantage of a team that comes and goes like the wind and has no worries, so to speak, both have advantages and disadvantages.

"I think we should build a base so that our soldiers don't wander around anymore, and we have a fixed territory where we can do a lot of things, not like a bunch of rogues like we do now. Wen Yue took the lead in saying the words that everyone was thinking about.

"Who's a rogue? Is that a ranger?" Dunce muttered.

"Haha!"

"Haha!"

"Haha!"

"Haha!"

"Haha!"

The people around laughed, and Kong Ming also laughed a lot, coughed a few times, and said, "Do the others have any opinions?"

"I wonder if I should give my brothers some thoughts, like land or something?" said Che Yi. After everyone heard this, their hearts couldn't help but tremble, you must know that the land in the Harvey Empire is the foundation of the aristocracy, no matter how much they hated the nobility at that time, but on the land issue, they never thought of getting involved, this is a thorn in the heart of the nobles, and the people who touch it have no good end, which has been the case since ancient times. And not only the Harvey Empire, but also the Huayuan Empire and other countries, but because the land can be bought and sold, it is not so strict in other countries, on the other hand, the Harvey Empire has always been a slave system, so the nobles who own the land have some rights to decide life and death in disguise.

"Well, you can think about this, we don't need nobles, but there are some brothers who can give them if they need land, but our current territory is like quicksand, it may disappear at any time, and I don't know what kind of changes it will bring to them?" Kong Ming said.

"And if we give the land to the soldiers, will there be many brothers left, and our mercenary army will not be enough?" asked Che Yi, a big problem. It is really not easy to not reduce the combat effectiveness of the mercenary army, but also to give them an explanation.

"It's really not the time to think about this kind of thing, but if we can really solve the land problem, it will definitely be of great help to our mercenary army, you must know that as long as there is interest, those people will be happy even if they die in battle. A female voice came from the side, it turned out that the laughter of these people had awakened the lazy cat, she was very angry, and was about to teach these people a lesson, but she heard the news that shocked her. This group of uneducated people actually started the idea of land, you know, even in the Huayuan Empire, land is a headache. So she interjected, but since all the people sitting there were seventh-level powerhouses, her arrival did not cause too much surprise.

"I think we should build a base in Wencheng, and use this as an example to see what it will become, if it is established, it will be able to independently resist part of the attack of the Harvey army. Then we can use this as a basis to build a similar base, and let some of our mercenaries become city lords and establish a regime, which I think is also a good choice. Duns said.

Everyone looked at him in amazement. Is this still the complete version of the rough man? This is simply the rebirth of genius, the appearance of gods. Who is going to say that he is a rough man at this moment. Then everyone present must knock out that person's front teeth.

"Why are you looking at me like this? Could it be that Old Deng suddenly became handsome today?"

"Alas, it's still a rough man!" all the people sighed, it seems that that sentence is really not wrong, foolish a thousand worries must have a gain, as the saying goes, a stupid person will always get something after thinking a thousand times.

"Well, now we don't know what to do. But a steady rear is really what we need, let those wounded mercenaries stay, and leave some mercenaries behind, according to the practice of the previous small city. Forming a snow wolf local mercenary army is under the control of the snow wolf mercenary army, and in order to better play their role, we need to conduct some basic training on them. In order to make them mature as soon as possible, we will first move with the army to bring them to maturity in battle, we don't have so much time and energy and more training, so only fighting is the best way to train new people. Kong Ming said.

"Wouldn't that be too cruel?" said Yiyi.

"It's better to be cruel than to be dead. Deputy commander, this matter is up to you, to establish Wencheng, our first real base, and I will leave a division of troops to cooperate with you. Kong Ming looked at Yi Yiyi and said when he saw that she did not object.

"What about you?"

"In order to buy you more time, we must clean up the cities around Wencheng before the enemy army arrives. ”

......

This day was the most exciting day for Yiyiyi, because she became a city lord for the first time, and she was a city lord with full rights, everything could be decided by her, and everything had to be decided by her, so she began to start the new formation of Wencheng according to the ideal city in her mind. First of all, she set up the City Lord's Mansion, and she transferred many people from the mercenary army that she needed, but there were more than two hundred people, and if there were more, Kong Ming would not release them, Kong Ming's reason was very simple, these people had the same needs as other cities. After that, she formed the city guard, in order to distinguish it from the city defense army of the Harvey Empire, she named this army the Snow Wolf Wencheng Defense Army, among these people, two thousand people were drawn from the snow wolf mercenary army, and then 20,000 people were recruited from the captives and civilians, which directly formed an army, and in order to make the defense army of Wencheng more combative, Kong Ming also drew another 10,000 people from the civilians and prisoners to join the various divisions, while training, fighting, and maturing. At the same time, Kong Ming secretly instructed those division commanders to be sure to identify those talents, and it was best to make the best use of them. Perhaps in order to realize the beautiful dream in her heart, Yi Yiyi also formed an unprecedented group of celebrities, which was not a fighting regiment, but a group used to supervise the work between the city lord and various departments, and at the same time formulate various laws in the city, etc., most of these people were composed of non-aristocratic celebrities in Wencheng, and their abilities and talents were recognized. In short, it is similar to the government of the French Revolution.

Kong Ming doesn't know much about these, although as a person who is proficient in military affairs, it stands to reason that he should also have some insight into politics, but Kong Ming is an exception, he stood next to Yi Yiyi and watched her give orders for a long time, signed countless documents, and then mixed with a smile and tiredness, shook his head helplessly, and thought: This woman is really crazy, if it is normal to establish the City Lord's Mansion, then what is the purpose of establishing that so-called celebrity group? Kong Ming asked cautiously a few times, but it turned out that Yi Yiyi was sarcastically a political idiot, so Kong Ming consciously stopped participating in these things, and no one wanted to be scolded as an idiot.

A day later, when the construction of Wencheng was in full swing, Kong Ming quietly left Wencheng with 90,000 snow wolf mercenary troops, and went straight to the next small city, Kong Ming did not attack the big city on the marching axis of Harvey's Fifth Legion, because although it was close to Wencheng, it was also a key defense place for the enemy, and because of Wencheng and experience, Zhao Wu, who had just escaped back, was more strict about Kong Ming's precautions, and would not make similar mistakes again, on the other hand, there were too many city defense troops there, and it was not a good training object for a team of more than 10,000 recruits, if you don't make it happen, it will make the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army lose money. So Kong Ming chose a small city not very far from Wencheng, where it was only a hundred kilometers away from Wencheng, and it was only two hours away at the speed of the snow wolf, and the population of this small city was only more than 100,000 people. In the next month, most of the cities with a radius of 200 kilometers centered on Wencheng were defeated, and they continued to build up new armies, conduct an inventory of the nobles, burn many of the nobles' documents and trading rolls, and distribute the land to all the commoners in a form of direct distribution, not only those who live in the countryside, but also those in the cities, and Kong Ming does not stop the sale of land, because the snow wolf mercenaries can get more taxes from it, and those civilians who get the land have more young people who choose to join the mercenary army, during this month, The mercenary army has unprecedentedly expanded to as many as 500,000, among which the fully mobile Snow Wolf Mercenary Army based on the original mercenary army has integrated more recruits above the fourth level into it, making the combat effectiveness of the entire 100,000 army more powerful, and those third-level soldiers were sent by Kong Ming to form a new city defense army and a cavalry army based on war horses of 100,000 people, that is to say, up to now, in addition to the 100,000 snow wolf mercenary army in the northeast of Songjiang, there are 200,000 mobile troops and 300,000 various city defense troops near Wencheng。

Just when the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army was in full swing to form and train a new army, and the territory centered on Wencheng was undergoing the most drastic changes in the history of these places, Harvey's Seventh Legion of 500,000 people had finally arrived near the territory of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army, and now they were just waiting for an order, or an opportunity.

Butterfly City, a large city less than 200 kilometers away from Wencheng, is also the political and economic center of the vicinity. In the City Lord's Mansion, Zhao Wu took the entire Seventh Legion and the division commanders of the City Defense Army summoned from nearby to hold a meeting together, and the most important thing for them now was to formulate a feasible plan to attack the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army, and this plan must be feasible.

"Today we are finally here, this time we have a total of 800,000 troops to attack the snow wolf mercenary army, judging from the intelligence, they took advantage of the time when our troops have not yet arrived, and actually organized an army of 500,000 people, which is really a big trouble for the empire, so His Majesty ordered my seventh army to wipe out this mercenary army together with you, to ensure that no tail is left. "Zhao Wu is really holding his breath for a while, the dignified commander of the Seventh Army actually let some earth leopards run around, which is really embarrassing, and this also makes him a joke in the imperial capital, and his political enemies are constantly using this matter to fiddle in front of the emperor, making him really like sitting on a volcano.
