The Mysterious World Under Steampunk - Chapter 1789

“Surrendered? Why did they surrender?” Leo was extremely surprised when he heard the latest news about the war from Sylvia, because the result was so unexpected.

Less than a month has passed since the day Sylvia officially announced the war, and the frontline battle has just entered the first stage. Sylvia’s holy pattern army has only opened a gap in the isolation zone , has established a relatively stable outpost in the central region, and has not officially launched an attack on the city-state tribes in the central region, and the city-state tribes in the central region have not lost too much, and there are still a large number of troops and soldiers that can be used. Ya’s army continued to fight for a long time.

Another point is that the city-state tribes in the central region have mastered some technological weapons far ahead of the times. Although most of these weapons are individual weapons, they are not enough to change the trend of the entire war, but they are enough to be used on a small scale. The final victory or defeat was decided on the battlefield, and these weapons are still not being used, which clearly shows that the city-state tribes in the central region have not yet reached the point of desperation, let alone the time to surrender.

Leo then guessed: “They shouldn’t have surrendered in a fake manner. Prepare to launch a deadly sneak attack while you are relaxing! For example, when you discuss the surrender agreement, you can find out who you are, and then directly use beheading tactics to take advantage of them.” The flying machine brought their most elite fighters and weapons, flew to the Thresh tribe, and assassinated you. You must know that the core of this so-called holy pattern kingdom is you. Without you, this holy pattern kingdom will collapse immediately .”

“It’s possible, but it’s not very likely, because they took the initiative to hand over the aircraft.” Sylvia shook her head, denied Leo’s guess, and then directly revealed the answer, saying: “I carefully They sent someone to check and confirmed that they really surrendered. There were two reasons why they surrendered so quickly, one main and one time. The secondary reason was the disappearance of the three major city-states and the holy tower. Most of the high-tech equipment in the hands of the tribal city-states in the region can no longer be used, including the aircraft. Without those equipment weapons, it is impossible for the city-state tribes in the central region to resist my legendary warrior army. Another main reason is It’s the city-state tribes in the central region who are running out of food.”

“Food is almost gone?” Leo was stunned when he heard this, apparently he didn’t understand the reason.

Sylvia continued to explain: “Although the tribal city-states in the central region will also grow some grains, these grains are special grains specially enjoyed by the rich and powerful. Those grains are extremely scarce, and the rich and powerful themselves are not enough to enjoy them. It is impossible for ordinary people to eat, and their food is mainly planted by the tribes on the outskirts of the plains. They purchase a batch every once in a while, and the quantity of purchases is not very large, perhaps because they think that the tribes on the outskirts of the plains cannot produce anything. Trouble, even if a few tribes are in trouble and cannot purchase food, they can still purchase food from other tribes, so there is no need to worry about food shortages at all, and naturally there is no habit of stockpiling food.”

Leo quickly understood what Sylvia was going to say, and continued, saying: “This time you unify the tribes on the outer plains very quickly, and the city-state tribes in the central area couldn’t react at all. That is, even if they thought about the food problem later, they could not purchase any more food. Secondly, they felt that their coalition forces could easily defeat your army, and that as long as they defeated your army, they could directly grab food from the outer plains. , there will be no food crisis at all, but their prediction is wrong.”

“Yes.” Sylvia nodded and said: “The final result of the wrong estimate is that the food in their hands is almost exhausted. According to the information I have collected, not only the people of the city-state tribes There is no food to eat, and even the troops on the front line can’t eat food. Just now I have received battle reports that a large number of troops surrendered in several theaters. Now they have publicly stated that apart from the idea of ​​surrender, it should have really arrived The situation is at the end of the mountain, so they feel that it is time to surrender now, and maybe they will be able to retain some status in the kingdom in the future.”

Although the city-states and tribes in the central region were unable to continue fighting shortly after the war started, it was a bit unexpected, but after careful analysis, it was also reasonable. As for the two reasons that led to the surrender, Leo felt that the problem of food might not be The main reason, the real main reason should be the disappearance of the three major city-states and the Holy Tower, which made the high-tech weapons and equipment in their hands unusable.

On the way to the three major city-states and the Holy Tower, Leo also stopped near the tribes of those city-states. He checked the situation there through the spiritual network and knew what high-tech weapons were in the hands of those in power. If it is clear which weapons can be used normally, those people in the central zone may still have the idea of ​​fighting, but now their cards are suddenly gone, and Sylvia has shown her established legendary warrior army Come out, facing this overwhelming combat power, those in power in the central region have no other choice, either surrender or perish.

“Isn’t this more in line with your plan requirements.” Leo thought for a while, and said, “If the power in the central zone is too much, the final effect of your plan may be greatly reduced.”

After hearing what Leo said, Sylvia thought about it for a while, then smiled and nodded in agreement.

As Leo said, only a close war can last for a long time and create more chaos. If the city-state tribes in the central region do not surrender according to the original plan, then even if the great unification of the Crack Plain is completed , then the city-state tribes in the central region will also suffer heavy losses. At that time, Sylvia will need to use some radical means to prompt the city-state tribes in the central region to quickly recover their strength, and finally can they recover enough and the tribes on the outskirts of the plain It is not known how to compete with each other. All in all, it is very likely that the peripheral plain tribes will join forces to wipe out the city-state tribes in the central region, and then go to civil war on their own. In this case, the benefits she can get in the end will be much less.

Now it is only in the early stage of the war, and the city-state tribes in the central region have not really suffered losses, which makes Sylvia need to use longer time and special means to restore their strength. After completing the initial reception, they can form The legendary warrior legion belonging to the city-state tribe in the central region, as long as the legion is formed, she can leave. By then, the conflicts and chaos here will probably be several times or even dozens of times more intense than her plan.

Although the analysis with Leo confirmed that the surrender of the city-state tribes in the central region was not fake, Sylvia still did not immediately accept the surrender of the city-state tribes, but methodically persuaded the frontline troops who had begun to run out of food to surrender. And set out some seemingly excessive surrender conditions, such as requiring the disbandment of the guards of the city-states and tribes, requiring the troops of the tribes to take over the military camps and fortresses set up by each city-state tribe in various places, and the leaders of each city-state tribe must personally come to the Thresh tribe to sign the agreement. Surrender agreement, etc., and then send people to the central zone to negotiate.

At the beginning, the leaders of the city-state tribes in the central region were extremely resistant to the conditions proposed by Sylvia, and even pretended to fight to the death to the sent missions, but as most of the frontline troops surrendered , The isolation zone was completely controlled by the Holy Rune army, and the Holy Rune troops built more than a dozen outposts near the isolation zone. Tens of thousands of legendary fighters appeared at the forefront of each position in the form of legions. Knowing that the general situation was over, all the conditions offered by Sylvia were accepted in the end, and those in power also came to the Thresh tribe along with the negotiating mission.

The power holders of these central city-state tribes had already prepared for the worst before they came here. Most of them never thought that they could go back, and they didn’t even think that their families could still hold power. They just hoped that they could go back. The voluntary surrender of the family can exchange certain benefits for their family in the future Holy Rune Kingdom, so that their family will not decline, but what they never expected is that Sylvia did not deprive them of their power, but let them Joined the Senate of the Holy Pattern Kingdom’s power center and became a kingdom elder. In addition, she also promised not to deprive these families of control over their respective city-states and tribes, and would return the military power of the city-states and tribes to them in the future , that is to say, they have nothing to lose except that they have changed a name and added a queen on it.

The lost and regained power and the tolerance shown by Sylvia made these city-state and tribal rulers who had always been terrified feel inexplicably grateful, coupled with Sylvia’s own personal beauty and absolute suppression of life forms, made these people who were not long ago All those in power whom Sylvia hated so much showed strong admiration, and many of them even showed signs of becoming believers, especially after obtaining the totem wonders given by Sylvia, some of them And the people in power in the tribe who were originally shamans and priests had already decided to worship Sylvia as a god.

Under the influence of this emotion, Sylvia’s takeover of the city-state tribes in the central region became extremely smooth. The annexation plan that was originally thought to take several months to complete was completed in less than ten days. Basically, a temporary military camp was arranged at the junction of all the city-states and tribes. The barracks were full of legendary warriors. In addition, the defense of the main resident of each city-state and tribe was temporarily taken over by the troops of the outer plain tribes.

Moreover, under Sylvia’s intentional indulgence, the troops of the outer plain tribes regarded themselves as victors. After taking over the defense, they also did a lot of evil things, which quickly deepened the tension between the central city-state tribes and the outer plain tribes. enmity.

After the military forces of the city-state tribes in the central region were all disintegrated, Sylvia let the leaders of those city-state tribes leave and returned to their respective city-state tribes to promote the rule of the Holy Rune Kingdom. In fact, these people in power need to do There are very few things, just adjust according to some etiquette and system formulated by Sylvia. For example, the parliament of the Saint Mark Kingdom, setting up totem wonders in the center of the town, etc. The management and ruling systems of the various city-states and tribes have not changed. What they were before will remain what they will be in the future.

In addition to these trivial chores, the most important thing is to select and reserve legendary warriors and re-recruit the tribal troops of the city-state, but the re-recruited troops are no longer named after their respective tribes, but replaced by Sylvia. The formulated name of the legion is also a superficial article in a certain way.

Regarding the re-conscripting of the army, the leaders of the various city-states and tribes naturally agree very much. They are very clear that whether there is an army on hand is closely related to the power he controls, not to mention that Sylvia promised them once their army is rebuilt. The defense of the city-state tribes was handed over to them. Now the troops of the outer plain tribes have messed up the various city-state tribes. If these people are allowed to stay, I am afraid that they will eventually take over a dilapidated city.

Although the rulers of the city-state tribes cooperated with the re-recruitment of the army and completed the initial recruitment of the army in a short period of time, they were somewhat resistant to another thing that needed to be completed.

In the past, Legendary Warriors have always been a force that only those in power can control, but now if they really do what Sylvia ordered, then they will definitely lose control of these important combat forces of Legendary Warriors.

If the weapons and equipment from the three major city-states and holy towers they had in the past could still be used, they would not be too worried about losing control of the legendary warriors. After all, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Those weapons can kill Legendary fighters, but now those weapons and equipment are almost invalid, and they don’t have the means to counter a large number of legendary fighters, which makes them worry about whether their legendary fighters will eventually replace them.

Under this kind of worry, they choose to delay all kinds of things related to the selection of reserve legendary fighters. If they can’t delay, they try whether people from their respective families can join the reserve legendary fighters, so as to increase the number of legendary fighters in their own families.

However, no matter how much they delay, the legendary warrior legion that should appear in the central region is still being formed in an orderly manner, and as the new army of the city-state tribes is formed, the defense of these city-state tribes has also begun to be transferred to the newly formed army.

For the various chiefs of the outer plain tribes, they naturally did not dare to oppose Sylvia’s order and refused to hand over their defenses, but dissatisfaction still arose in their hearts, but this dissatisfaction was not directed at Sylvia, but at The power holders of those city-state tribes, so when they transferred the defense, they all secretly launched some looting behaviors. Although these looting behaviors did not cause much damage, they undoubtedly deepened the hatred between the central region and the outer plains. up.
