Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

"Please help me to defend this city."

The mayor looked very sincere.

He even stood up and bowed deeply to show his sincerity.

Kant narrowed his eyes.

He is a suspicious person. The so-called is to buy a warhammer once and fear Sega for ten years.

Mayor Nick is undoubtedly a ruthless and action-oriented cruel officer, and even to a certain extent, it is impossible to do as well as someone else to defend the city.

The elves failed to capture the city, and the defenders in the city immediately launched a counterattack layer by layer. The coordinated attack of the mage regiment, the archer unit and even the war machine unit meant that Nick had completely mastered the organization and command of the garrison in the city. Hong San's team had just entered the city. It has been clearly arranged by the well-prepared mayor, which shows that this mayor with deep scheming and ruthless means has been preparing for a long time in order to deal with the siege of the elves.

And, without a hint of compromise and fantasy.

However, while it is understandable that Nick made a series of actions and decisions to defend the city, emotionally, Kant is still unacceptable.

The most important thing is that a recruited army that is almost ruthless and rational divides the defending forces into three, six and nine grades. , and frankly admit that the conscripted militia units are only cannon fodder to consume the elf offensive...

Kant couldn't trust such a real decent person.

Because he is not sure whether he is also placed on the scale of victory by Nick, calculating how much value he can play, just for the victory of defending the city.

Thinking of this section, he felt a little unhappy, even irritable.

Because the other party is really prepared.

Showing his sincerity from the very beginning, Kant proposed not to recruit the guards of the Vidal Chamber of Commerce.

Then he said, however, that he insulted and destroyed the elf's body.

This means that the elves have obtained a reasonable "excuse" to massacre the city.

This immortal race has a long history and is arrogant. Although it is constrained by the so-called civilization and morality, it takes into account the domestic public opinion and the criticism of political enemies. However, the behavior of insulting the corpses of the war dead directly points to the arrogance and self-esteem of the elves. Elves will not advocate forgiveness anymore.

In this way, it is useless to release the people of Vidal and Tiandihui.

Under the nest, An Youwan's eggs, even if your Vidal Chamber of Commerce has a relationship with the empire, will you be able to escape the slaughter of the irrational and murderous elves?

The life and death of the entire city have been linked together.

Everyone is smart. Nick chose the smartest way to show his sincerity first, and then straight to the point. He didn’t say anything threatening. Instead, he sincerely explained the current situation and listed all the sincere gifts for you to choose. Enough of Kant's face.

He doesn't need the wastes of the Heaven and Earth Society and Vidal's gang of imperial gangsters with dissent. In the next battle, these cannon fodders are of little use. What he values ​​is Kant and even Hong San.

The former raised his hand to disperse the soil **** that the elves forcibly gathered together, and then used alchemy to blow the elves upside down, and the crisis was reversed.

From Nick's point of view, the mysterious and unpredictable method of breaking the law to disperse is of the most strategic significance, which means that the elves outside the city have suffered from this setback and are afraid, and will no longer dare to repeat the same trick easily.

The latter's military literacy has already fallen into Nick's eyes, and Hong San's two opportunities to anticipate the enemy on the city wall undoubtedly proved this.

He needs a talented military staff officer.

...Although Kant also claimed to be the chief military advisor of the Heaven and Earth Society, but after the first battle in the city, many people who had doubts in their hearts also came back to it.

Some people are military advisers on the surface, but behind the scenes they are lawbreakers, alchemists, and berserkers. When they are about to fight, they never have the slightest advice from military advisers. They only know about light cannons, light cannons, and light cannons.

But it doesn't matter.

Nick doesn't care which of Mr. Hong San and Mr. Dong Zhuo is the real military staff officer, because only children make choices, and the mayor wants both.

And the most important thing is to take down Dong Xiansen in front of him.

Because through these two days of eyeliner feedback and personal observation, Mr. Dong Zhuo seems to have great authority over Hong San. If he wins Dong Xiansen, Hong San will follow orders. Besides, what Hong San is worried about is nothing more than heaven and earth. The lives of the people in the congregation are very easy to handle, and this Mr. Dong Zhuo... he can't see through.

Nick kept his bow.

Boom, boom, boom.

It was Kant's fingers tapping on the table.

After hearing the mayor's proposal, Leona had a sarcastic look on her face and wanted to make a few words of ridicule, but after glancing at Kant beside him, she sat obediently beside him, but quietly pushed her elbows. Look at the other party and signal that you don't believe this cold-blooded bastard.

"Mayor, please." Kant pondered for a moment and said, "Hong San and I, today were ordered to lead the Heaven and Earth Society troops to defend a section of the western city wall, and resisted it with difficulty under the fire of the elves. Sniping at the enemy, killing some pointed ears, can be regarded as defending the city... The mayor said that he wanted me and him to help you defend the city, did he hope we could do more things?"

Nick straightened his waist, looked at Kant, and nodded: "Yes, with the talents of the two, you can play a greater role, and defending this city is not only beneficial to me, but also to the two of you."

Kant was unmoved and said lightly: "Before, Hong San and I were just the commander of a militia cannon fodder unit. We were guarding a section of the city wall, and the width of the battlefield was only one or two hundred meters. Looking around, it was either an enemy or a friendly army. , we don't know where the enemy is, what the condition of the friendly forces is, when the war will start, and how the victory will be won... For the commander of a cannon fodder army, there is no need to know these."

In other words, he was just playing Mount and Blade.

"However, if we want to take more responsibility and make more contributions to the city, it means that we are no longer the commander of such a trivial force."

Kant said: "In addition to issuing further calls, we must also have the corresponding right to know."

Now, it's time for me to play Age of Empires.

Nick sat down and asked, "What do you want to know?"

Kant asked, "How is the enemy army?"

Nick replied: "The Royal Army of the Dusk Moon belongs to the Dragon Teeth Army, the Dusk Chapter, with a total of 12,000. It is a champion army composed of pure blood elves, the elite of the elite."

Twelve thousand people... oh no, elves?

Kant's first reaction was, not much.

However, looking at the solemn expressions of Mayor Nick and Leona, he immediately reacted.

Well, how should I put it, the Chinese have no real sense of numbers such as the number of troops. There are hundreds of thousands of troops at any time, and where is the younger brother of 12,000 people.

But that's obviously not the same thing.

There is also a saying in ancient China that soldiers are more valuable than others.

And the quality of this army of 12,000 soldiers... must be quite terrifying.

Kant asked again: "So, how is our military strength?"

Nick looked at Kant meaningfully, then shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Dong Zhuo, trust is built on each other, this is a top secret, and now I can't tell the real situation, and I don't want to deceive you, so I can only refuse to answer Your question... at least for now."

Although the general number of the city defense army is usually counted, it can be analyzed after a little inquiries, but who knows whether the mayor has a private army that he secretly trained and recruited. The number of private armies in World War I is also unknown.

Being able to tell the truth and not wanting to reveal the real situation prematurely is already an act of frankness.

Kant snorted and said lightly: "Even if you don't say it, I can guess that the situation is very bad, otherwise you wouldn't do something that corrupts people's hearts recklessly."

Nick snorted lightly, and then calmly said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Dong Zhuo, although I am a bit domineering this time, but after all, it is to defend the city and save everyone's life as much as possible... Although everyone will be unhappy, But in the end, it will be understood, after all, it is about everyone's life and wealth."

Kant frowned slightly.

Before he could speak, Nick said, "Of course, I won't put my safety on the generosity and empathy of others. Please don't misunderstand my standards and methods on this point."

"To be honest, Valentine City is a city that our family has run for generations. My ability to control this city is not weak. All the residences of nobles, businessmen and even local celebrities who need attention are closely monitored. Dissatisfied, there is no time to do anything... They don't have the opportunity."

The mayor said slowly, ignoring Leona's livid face.

Kant's expression became odd.

"and many more…"

He said: "The so-called corrupt people's hearts do not refer to those big businessmen and big nobles..."

Nick said in surprise: "So it turns out, I'm still surprised, the cannon fodder in the city is only the farmers, workers and servants under these people, and their real elite strength has not been dispatched. It is reasonable to say that although they will feel some pain in the flesh, but not so much. Annoyed and resentful... Then, who are you talking about?"

Kant heard the words, looked at Mayor Nick seriously, and confirmed that this guy was not asking knowingly, then he said with a subtle expression: "Those who are in great danger... um, militiamen, you openly declared today that they are just cannon fodder. , Aren't you afraid they will resist?"

This time, it was Mayor Nick's turn to be surprised. The other party also looked at Kant's expression seriously, confirming that Kant was not joking or referring to something else, so he said strangely: "Resist? Do they dare?"

Kant wondered: "You drove them to the city wall, used them, and died left and right, why not reverse?"

Nick is even more strange: "Whoever resists will kill whoever, civilians are like this. They lack knowledge, are timid, and like to escape from reality. As long as they are not killed, they will hypnotize themselves and make themselves believe that the butcher's knife will not fall on them. on their heads, and then they continue to remain as they are with peace of mind... It's actually very troublesome, because it's hard to convince them that the elves won't let them all go after the city is broken."

- Damn, this guy is so right.

Kant struggled for a moment and continued: "If they unite and resist together..."

Nick smiled and said: "They are countless cowardly individuals, and they are not ants ordered by the queen. Everyone has their own selfishness, how can they be united? In the whole city, who has this kind of prestige, Can you unite them? Besides me, there is no one else, right? No one guides the order, they are just scattered sand, some people go to the left, some people go back, and they can't make it anywhere, how can they unite?"

When the mayor said this, he even had some doubts about the intelligence of this Mr. Dong Zhuo, a mere commoner, to actually talk about resistance, which is unheard of, even more absurd than the sun rising from the west.

However, considering that the role of the chief military staff officer is actually a shovel warrior who smashes elves, then there is no need to worry about intellectual issues... It's better to fool, isn't it?

Even so, he explained patiently: "Maybe Aurora is different, but in the mainland, you really overestimate these civilians. No offense, for example, the 800 militiamen of the Tiandihui, if not for you and Hong If such a powerful person as Mr. San leads them, they will fight on their own, you say, how many people do I need to be able to suppress and defeat them?"

The mayor raised his hand and raised four fingers: "Forty people, forty regular soldiers in full armor, that is the veteran troop I sent to assist this militia, and a few more people will be able to do the job. ."

"The two sides faced off and fought in formation. These rabble people had no tactics at all, their equipment was extremely poor, and their personal force was far inferior. My soldiers attacked in formation and killed about 30 people, and the fear of retreating would spread. , when more than 100 people are killed or wounded, this militia force will be completely defeated."

"Escape, kneel, beg for mercy, trample each other, if my soldiers continue to execute those who surrender, and kill another 100 to 150 people, then the remaining people will not even have a heart of fear, they will directly If they become stupid lambs waiting to die, how to deal with them will not lead to struggle and resistance."

"It only takes forty people, some experienced and well-trained soldiers, plus two or three strong officers with good martial arts skills and even martial arts, they can defeat them."

Nick smiled and said, "So, what about a few magic apprentices or even a junior mage?"

Kant opened his mouth but did not speak.

But the heart is already suddenly.

This is another world, and it is completely impossible to use common sense on the other side of the earth to imitate it.

Because the power of individuals in this world is infinitely magnified, knowledge and inheritance are retained by the upper classes, the strong emerge from here, the oppressed have no power, and the gap between the two is like a chasm, even like two races, how can civilians and workers resist? The uprising troops of several hundred people were about to flee when a fireball hit them.

So Mayor Nick is not worried that the so-called cannon fodder will rebel and cause chaos.

Not even that awareness at all.

Because...it really doesn't need to be.

Gee.

For a while, Kant couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.

But about this matter, there is no need to argue with Nick.

For example, if he travels back to ancient times, if he tells others that ordinary people want to be the masters of the country, the emperor will be pulled from the dragon chair, cast aside and trampled on for a hundred years, and all the aristocratic families will be ruined—then the other party will definitely think that he is a lunatic and send him away. Go to jail and behead.

Although those are just common sense in modern society.

But in ancient times, what he said... was originally a lunatic.

Although Nick has doubts in his heart, this curiosity is not worth mentioning at the moment of the enemy. What he values ​​is the strength and value shown by the other party, not his strange ideas.

So the mayor asked, "Mr. Dong Zhuo?"

Kant came back to his senses and sighed in his heart.

But thinking about oppressed civilians or something... is too far away.

Just think about it for now.

He said sternly: "Then Mayor Nick, there is still a crucial question."

"Speaking."

Kant said slowly: "The battle strength in the city is inferior to that of the elves. Today's raid failed. Next time the elves will attack the city in a dignified manner. It's a gain and loss of one city and one place... So, I ask you..."

He stood up slowly, leaned forward, and stared at the other party's eyes: "Is there any hope in this city? How long will it take to keep it alive?"

Nick looked at each other without hesitation, and stood up suddenly.

He resolutely said: "Yes! At least three days, as many as five days, there will be reinforcements!"

PS1: Updated! At least half an hour earlier than the previous day! I did it!

PS2: Well, seriously, it’s still relatively late... There will be two shifts tomorrow, so let’s discuss it. If I can finish both shifts before twelve o’clock, then friends who are too lazy to vote should also vote, how about it? It can be encouraged, so that I can adjust my schedule as much as possible.
