Monarch of Evernight: The crazy reality of Thirty-One

bsp;"Take out the young men, make them into cannon fodder, and send them to attack the Emerald Sea. In this way, all the problems will be solved." Song Hui answered quickly.

Song Lun shook his head, "Werewolves wouldn't be so stupid, knowing that they would die." To be honest, Count Eskar's performance far exceeded everyone's expectations for him. He is a wise and powerful force attribute. But it's a dependent person who is naturally opposed. I really can't say whether it's good or bad.

"There are always casualties in war. By the time they see it, it's already too late. As long as careful arrangements are made, at least 40% of the werewolf warriors can die on the battlefield. What's the use of them seeing it then? We don't waste any time. With such force, the werewolves in the entire Grand Corridor and the Emerald Sea were weakened. In fact, it would be a good thing if they rebelled. "Song Hui's plan was very ruthless.

Qianye was silent, and his face showed no clues.

Song Lun already knew Qianye's character very well, "Isn't this good? Your Excellency promised them that they should have the minimum right to survive."

"What kind of benevolence and morality do we have to deal with werewolves?"

"It is always bad not to keep one's word."

"The dark race is not inherently trustworthy, okay? When have they ever truly surrendered to our human race? If the dark race does not rebel, it will be just like you men who are not lustful, is it possible?" Song Hui spoke very fast, and Song Lun It was blocked directly.

Song Lun took a step back and said no more. There is a huge difference between his and Song Hui's status in the Song family. The hierarchy within the family is still quite strict. It is already the limit to argue with each other. In the end, the treatment of werewolves has nothing to do with Song Lun's. relation.

Qianye finally spoke and said: "Of course the werewolf warriors will participate in the war, but not as cannon fodder. I promised them that I would give them a minimum status and a chance to advance. At least now I don't see any chance of breaking my promise. Necessary. Let's reorganize the new army based on human officers, mix werewolves and new army soldiers, and form two units with a high proportion of werewolves. After one month of basic training, we will form two units. Go to the battlefield again."

Xu Jingxuan remained silent in the previous argument. Now he heard that Qianye had made a decision, so he agreed, and then looked embarrassed, "What should I do with so many werewolf equipment? Adult werewolves are almost all qualified warriors. The surrendered tribes in front of us can recruit 70,000 to 80,000 troops."

Song Hui said angrily: "What other equipment do they need? Just give them a leather skirt and that's it? Are the claws and teeth just decorations?"

Xu Jingxuan smiled apologetically, then looked at Qianye.

Even if a werewolf is a born warrior, there is still a huge difference in combat effectiveness whether he has a sharp weapon in his hand or whether he is wearing armor. Not to mention the wolf's huge manpower. As long as the force power is enough to drive it to the minimum standard, it can use the hand cannon regardless of other restrictions. If it is equipped with all the equipment, it will be a walking turret. It's just that the werewolf tribes in the large corridor are very primitive. They don't even have many metal weapons. Many of them still use wooden spears, and the arrows are tied with animal teeth instead of metal arrowheads.

Just thinking about the equipment of an army of nearly 100,000 werewolves gives people a headache.

The level of werewolf smelting in the Grand Corridor is low, and the Emerald Sea is not much better. Most of the werewolf's steel was requisitioned to build and maintain two fortresses, as well as distribute wuqi to frontline soldiers. It's just that this force, which is considered well-equipped among the werewolves, was immediately knocked back to its original shape when it encountered Qianye's fleet and mercenaries. The two fortresses could not even last a day.

Military logistics was not Qianye’s specialty, and all Xu Jingxuan knew was Zheng’s backward system. So everyone's eyes fell on Song Hui. The numbers and formulas on her wall that day were really shocking.

Song Hui snorted and said with some reluctance: "If you want to be completely equipped, there is no way. But if everyone is just given a Wuqi and a piece of iron hanging on it, it is not difficult."/

Xu Jingxuan has dealt with werewolves a lot, "As long as you have a qualified wuqi, the hardness and sharpness are up to standard. We can talk about steel armor later. Many werewolves are not used to wearing armor."

After werewolves change into fighting form, their size will increase significantly. The armor that humans are accustomed to is a constraint for them, and their natural fur is very good armor. The high-ranking nobles of werewolves are not so unscrupulous. They have specially made split suits and various madness secrets to reduce the trouble caused by the reversion to the ancestors when they are bloodthirsty. However, the vast majority of werewolves in Yonglu obviously do not have this. condition.

Song Hui added sarcastically, "I'm just making suggestions, it's not up to you whether you need them or not."

Xu Jingxuan immediately fell silent.

Qianye said: "Every werewolf must wear armor, at least one piece of armor to protect the back."

Werewolves are good at frontal assaults, but their back is their weak point. On a large battlefield, with enemies everywhere, this weakness will be exposed, and a little protection may reduce many battle losses.

Seeing Qianye's persistence, Song Hui said bitterly: "Time is tight now. It's too late for mining and smelting. There is no steel inventory in the Grand Corridor and Zheng State. But right here, isn't there enough inventory?"

Xu Jingxuan was confused, "There are only food and cannonballs in the warehouse, where is the steel? Are you talking about recasting the cannonballs?"

What is the price of main gun shells? Recasting is just crazy. Unexpectedly, Song Hui shook her head and said, "Isn't the warehouse itself a steel reserve?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Song Hui continued: "Not only the warehouses, I think many of the steel components of these two fortresses can be dismantled and recast. For example, the four fortress gates are enough to arm tens of thousands of werewolves, right? There are also iron plates on the wall towers. , they can all be dismantled.”

"Without the gate, how can we defend the fortress?" Xu Jingxuan found it inconceivable that he had to demolish the fortress that he finally defeated?

Song Hui rolled her eyes at him, "Where are there any enemies in the grand corridor? What's the use of these two fortresses there? Who are they guarding against?"

Xu Jingxuan suddenly realized that the werewolves in the large corridor were all showing signs of submission. The two fortresses were indeed of no use. Speaking of potential enemies, it is the Zheng State behind them. The defense of Tacheng and Liaocheng needs to be more careful.

Qianye secretly nodded to Song Hui's idea. The method of dismantling the fortress and armed troops was very similar to Zhang Boqian's mobile defense. King Qingyang never liked defense. His famous saying was that destroying the enemy is the best defense.

With steel secured, training and reorganization can proceed in an orderly manner. Eskar gathered the outstanding warriors from the surrendered tribes, mixed them with Xu Jingxuan's new army soldiers, and then used his own tribe's cronies as the backbone to form dozens of small-scale troops.

Before going on the expedition, Eskar specially made hundreds of badges, engraved with the mark of dark fire. He found Qianye and asked him to imbue him with dark gold blood. It is said that it was used as the emblem of this new mixed formation. Then he led his newly formed troops and rushed deep into the great corridor.

While Qianye was injecting breath into those badges, he suddenly thought of a name suitable for the dark fire elite, Blazing Flame.

At this moment, the real army is still training at the Wolf Fang Fortress. Xu Jingxuan's new army and the Dark Fire mercenaries who arrived later are stationed at the fortress to prevent the surrendered werewolves from causing rebellion. Although Qianye feels that werewolves are unlikely to cause trouble under the current situation, being neighbors with tens of thousands of werewolves will still cause great psychological pressure on ordinary human warriors.

As for Eskar, in Xu Jingxuan’s eyes, his dozens of small troops can barely be regarded as reconnaissance troops. Each of them is barely over a hundred in number, and there are only a dozen people in the vast corridor. What can you do?

However, just when everyone was not optimistic about Eskar, three days later, a mighty werewolf army appeared in front of the fortress.

At this moment, the main gate and protective wall armor of Wolf Fang Fortress have been dismantled, and it is almost in an undefended state. The werewolf's reorganized army suddenly appeared, causing a slight commotion in the new army that was training. However, soon the most elite Blazing Flames of the Dark Fire appeared and occupied important places in the city defense. The floating battleships were also in place to stabilize the city. Just the blazing flames and the floating battleships were enough to destroy the over 10,000 werewolf troops on the opposite side.

A frigate flew over the werewolf troops, and after circling for a week, it sent back a safety signal. Only then did the guards realize that there was a long convoy behind this werewolf army. The soldiers in the front were only wearing armor, but they had no weapons in their hands. All their weapons were on the trucks at the back.

When he saw the first-class viscount leading this army, Xu Jingxuan discovered that this army was actually a mixed force formed by Eskar after integrating more than a dozen tribes, large and small, with the purpose of escorting a batch of seized supplies. Be adapted and trained.

As soon as the werewolf Viscount completed the handover, he immediately said impatiently: "Excuse me, where is Lord Qianye? Please allow us to offer our eternal loyalty to him in person!"

Xu Jingxuan couldn't believe his eyes. The werewolves were so crazy that they didn't know how Eskar could brainwash them. According to this trend, does Eskar really need to rely on those dozens of small teams to unify the entire grand corridor?

He shook his head. He thought this idea was a bit crazy. Werewolves have always followed the tribal system of their own lives, and each tribe also regarded their own territory and traditions as extremely important. How could they surrender so easily?

Just half a month later, Escana's idea that everyone thought was crazy became a reality. When he returned to Wolf Fang Fortress, he brought back a new map of the Great Corridor.

The map has been marked with detailed errata and missing information. However, the most eye-catching thing is the densely packed dark fire emblems on it. Those are the werewolf tribes that belong to Qianye. They are spread throughout the grand corridor, and the ones on the outermost edge are The two large tribes are already outside the large corridor and belong to the category of the Emerald Sea.

This map stunned all the mercenary generals, even Xu Jingxuan and Song Hui. It’s not that it’s bad, it’s that it’s really good. The Great Corridor Werewolf who once beat Zheng Guo breathless, surrendered like this?

Song Hui glanced at Eskar suspiciously, always feeling that there was some conspiracy here. Most of the other mercenary generals had the same idea.

Askar knelt on one knee in front of Qianye and said: "Sir, there are now eleven first-class tribes, ninety-seven second-class tribes, and more than 400 third-class tribes in the entire Great Corridor. Under your glory. According to rough statistics by my subordinates, your people have taken over five million people in the Great Corridor, including half a million warriors who can go to the battlefield at any time, and more than one hundred thousand excellent hunters. As long as they are trained, He will be your most elite warrior."

Everyone looked at each other in shock. Everyone is now very familiar with the Werewolf tribal system in Yonglu. The second-class tribe must have at least one powerful person with a title, while the first-class tribe must have a count. In other words, Qianye had hundreds of warriors under his command overnight, or at least strong men close to warriors. Although most tribal leaders will not leave their territory, they will go to war when necessary.

This number is far beyond previous expectations, and even makes everyone, including the mercenary generals who are used to racial mixing, feel uneasy.

Aiska seemed to know that everyone was worried, "Lord Qianye, if you are interested, you can go to your tribe and inspect it. After you see it, you will understand the reason."

"That's fine." Qianye nodded.

An unreasonable phenomenon always has a reasonable explanation, otherwise it is just an illusion.
