A Realistic Mount & Blade Game
#131 - Diesel chaos
At this moment, Zhang Caidong already knew that outside the rammed earth city walls, Shen Mu's army had entered a standby state, resting and preparing to attack the city at any moment.
Then, he felt a little surprised because only two or three days had passed since he left Shen Mu.
He didn't expect that they would use him as an internal contact so quickly and start attacking Diesel Company so quickly.
Zhang Caidong hadn't anticipated this.
"This speed is too fast." A hint of surprise appeared in Zhang Caidong's eyes: "This young Human Lord is truly decisive."
But it was also within his expectations.
The Diesel Company had already suffered heavy losses. Even if they frantically consumed Faith Points during this period to summon the foundation of that Orc tribe from the Astral World, it still didn't change anything.
It was as if the Faith Points were consumed in vain, and nothing was gained in the end.
This made Zhang Caidong feel strange.
But he also understood that perhaps this was an opportunity to destroy the Diesel Company!
"Brother Caidong, this is another opportunity for us, we must seize it!"
Behind Zhang Caidong, the five Blue Star humans who had left the rammed earth city wall earlier to meet with Shen Mu were now whispering to him: "You know how those formal employees treat us. They don't see us as human beings. If we continue to endure like this, it's no different from being their slaves!"
"That's right, it's not easy for us to climb up the social ladder this time, we must not miss this opportunity." The Blue Star human next to him said excitedly: "On Shen Mu's side, we are the first Blue Star humans to defect to him. We can become formal employees in the future!"
Next to him, the other Blue Star humans also looked at Zhang Caidong with such excited eyes.
This put a lot of pressure on Zhang Caidong.
"Time is too short. If there are any mistakes, we will die without even leaving ashes." Zhang Caidong pondered: "We must think of a way."
The surrounding Blue Star humans were all looking at him expectantly, without urging him.
Because things had already reached this point, they all understood that they were in a difficult situation.
Since it was a difficult situation.
Then just go all the way to the end!
"I do have an idea that might work." At this time, Zhang Caidong suddenly raised his head and looked at the platform opposite the Transportation Department.
"What?" The others were slightly stunned and looked in the direction of Zhang Caidong's gaze.
They also saw the platform belonging to the Quality Inspection Department opposite the Transportation Department.
But they didn't understand Zhang Caidong's meaning.
"Last night, Minister Zhao of the Quality Inspection Department invited Old Minister of our Transportation Department to drink." A sneer appeared in Zhang Caidong's eyes: "Accompanying them were also many backbones from the previous Xue Zhigang era who followed the previous old chieftain."
"Brother Caidong, do you mean... let these old people also join our rebellion?"
Someone subconsciously said: "But, is that possible? Those old people care more about seniority and pay more attention to using seniority to arrange seats. It is estimated that it is not very possible for us to pull them in as internal support."
"Yes, this is simply impossible. If we tell them, we will probably be detained directly."
The faces of the other Blue Star humans all showed trepidation.
Even if they couldn't stand those formal employees.
But thinking about it, they could also understand.
Those formal employees who have been eating and drinking in the Diesel Company all their lives and have long regarded themselves as part of the Diesel Company, it is absolutely impossible to instigate or win them over.
Including those old guys.
Even if there are open and secret struggles.
But once it involves fundamental interests, they will quickly find their position.
They will not rebel at all.
Zhang Caidong showed a smile at this time, with a faint sarcasm in his eyes: "Why do you think that I want to win over those old guys and rebel together?"
"Ah? What do you mean then?" These Blue Star humans were a little dazed.
"Just let those old guys remain neutral." Zhang Caidong slowly clenched his fist at this time and sneered: "There are contradictions everywhere in the current Diesel Company. As long as it does not involve external contradictions, then they will all watch from the sidelines."
Looking at these thoughtful guys next to him, Zhang Caidong continued: "Moreover, they all have great opinions on Xue Zhigang. As long as they are allowed to choose neutrality at the beginning, they will think that they are watching the鹬蚌相争 (yù bàng xiāng zhēng, idiom:鹬 and 蚌 fight each other; fig. the fisherman profits), waiting to pick the peaches in the end."
"Let them choose neutrality? This seems unlikely." The others were still puzzled.
"It's very possible." Zhang Caidong instructed: "You just follow the previous plan to provoke the contradiction between temporary workers and formal employees, and then create conflict. Leave the rest to me."
"We... understand." These Blue Star humans nodded one after another.
Then, after admonishing each other a few words, they all left this secret meeting room of the Transportation Department and turned to start provoking discord.
They were all captains of various temporary convoys, although they had just taken office.
But they already had a good reputation in the hearts of many temporary workers who were selected to participate in the temporary convoy.
People would believe whatever they said.
Moreover, even if they didn't provoke the relationship between temporary workers and formal employees, wouldn't there still be contradictions between the two sides?
Formal employees looked down on temporary workers, and even often bullied temporary workers.
These were common occurrences.
Among these temporary workers, there was already some hidden anger, just because they were in the Diesel Company, on the territory of these formal employees, they didn't dare to come out casually.
Now, these Blue Star humans who were acting as internal agents were actually not provoking.
But releasing the anger in the hearts of these temporary workers...
Giving it release!
As some half-true rumors about welfare benefits were spread.
And the news that formal employees wanted to deprive them of the rights of these temporary workers and make them slaves began to spread.
Hundreds of temporary workers in the entire temporary convoy were now full of anger.
Each and every one of them was filled with righteous indignation.
They began to want to go to the Personnel Department to talk to the personnel specialists who managed them.
However, just after this group of temporary workers gathered, they found that some formal employees had also been gathered.
The leaders were still a few familiar convoy captains, with obsequious smiles on their faces, informing these formal employees.
Then the temporary workers became even more angry.
In a short period of time, the two sides began to go from glaring at each other, to arguing, to pushing each other, and even spirit realm creatures began to draw their weapons and confront each other fiercely.
Originally, formal employees were dissatisfied with these temporary employees being able to quickly become regular employees.
Now, seeing that these temporary employees really gathered together, just like what those captains who came to report said, they even wanted to show them, these formal employees, some color.
They were even more furious, looking at these temporary workers, it was as if they were no different from ungrateful wretches.
These temporary workers were still not satisfied now.
They still wanted more rights.
In the eyes of these formal employees, why weren't they ungrateful wretches?
They enjoyed the safety provided by Diesel Company, as well as various supplies, and in the end, they could even become regular employees and enjoy the same treatment as them, these old employees. Were they still not satisfied?!
So, in the Orc tribe of the Diesel Company, one formal employee after another and temporary worker were now confronting each other.
They even forgot the original reason for the confrontation.
It had completely turned into a confrontation caused by disliking each other, and when confronting each other, with the mutual scolding, the atmosphere also began to be filled with gunpowder.
As someone began to overheat, the weapons in their hands were drawn out, gesticulating.
In the crowd.
Several Blue Star humans who were deliberately hiding among the temporary workers had already taken out short spears or flying axes similar to those used for throwing, and in the midst of excitement, they raised their hands and threw them at the formal employees in the front.
'Puff!' As the flying axe and javelin directly hit the formal employee.
Blood was seen on the spot.
"These temporary workers want to rebel! Destroy them!"
These formal employees, who were already angry because of being constrained, directly roared loudly, glaring with scarlet eyes, raising the flail hammer in their hands, and wanted to do it with the pig-headed followers behind them.
But in the temporary workers.
"They want to kill us! They want to kill us and feed us to the pigs!"
Even more Blue Star humans were shouting miserably, with angry and unwilling roars, shouting loudly: "Fight these guys!"
"Damn it!" Already enraged and unwilling to be treated as slaves, the temporary workers roared and raised their weapons, charging towards the formal employees and pig-headed orcs.
In a flash, the confrontation escalated into a fierce battle.
Formal employees and temporary workers clashed violently on the road below the platform!
Meanwhile, Zhang Caidong stood by the window of the Quality Inspection Department, a bitter smile on his face.
"Caidong, you mean these temporary workers, you outsiders, dare to make a move."
In front of Zhang Caidong, Minister Zhao stood with his hands behind his back, watching the boiling road below. His pig-like face held a playful expression. "You really don't take us formal employees seriously."
Despite his words, Minister Zhao of the Quality Inspection Department showed no anger.
Only amusement and a hint of excitement.
After all, Zhang Caidong behind him was a rising star recently favored by Xue Zhigang. Now that trouble had erupted and he came to him seeking mediation, things were getting interesting.
"Minister Zhao, you hold a high position and are the most senior minister in the Diesel Company. I came here hoping you could mediate, as others are simply not up to the task."
Zhang Caidong said with a smile, "I have to rely on you, Minister Zhao."
"Shouldn't you be looking for General Manager Xue Zhigang?"
Minister Zhao's tone was playful as he watched the bloodshed below. Observing the growing number of formal and temporary employees gathering, both sides seemingly on the verge of losing control, his tone became increasingly excited: "My Quality Inspection Department, while managing discipline, is so busy lately that I have no manpower to spare to help. I am powerless."
This wasn't powerlessness; Minister Zhao was simply enjoying the chaotic scene below.
In his heart, he wished it would turn into a river of blood.
Then, the General Manager would be the one in trouble!
After all, these temporary workers were gathered to form new temporary teams, and they were given many opportunities for promotion, improving their treatment, which was already making the formal employees angry.
If bloodshed, rebellion, and a massacre were to erupt,
wouldn't that suggest the General Manager's arrangements were flawed?
Wouldn't the desire for reform lead to intense reactions, causing the formal employees to initiate a vote of no confidence in the current General Manager?
That would be a great show!
Especially considering that he was already in his fifties, yet he was still being ordered around and reprimanded by the Chieftain in the main tent.
Deep hatred flashed in his eyes as he slowly said, "Caidong, I understand you are a responsible person, working diligently since you were a temporary worker, loyal to the Diesel Company…"
Minister Zhao paused.
"Ah, Minister, please speak, please speak." Zhang Caidong quickly bowed again and said humbly, "I don't understand anything, so I need to learn from the older generation!"
"Yes, not bad." Minister Zhao paused, waiting for Zhang Caidong to speak.
Seeing his tact, a smile appeared on his lips.
Then, watching the followers of the spirit realm creatures start using knives and guns, with a few already drawing blood and some spirit realm creatures killed on the spot, the platform road became increasingly fierce.
Minister Zhao turned to look at Zhang Caidong and said, "At this time, you can just stay here with me and watch the show."
"Watch… watch the show?" Zhang Caidong's expression seemed to change slightly.
As if in disbelief.
Especially seeing the smile on the face of the Minister of the Quality Inspection Department, who also managed discipline and punishment, Zhang Caidong seemed frightened, swallowing saliva and stammering, unsure of what to say.
"Caidong, you are a smart man, so don't say too much at this time." Minister Zhao's face was even more smiling.
He turned back around.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, his tone was mocking: "You must know that the General Manager doesn't have the final say in this Diesel Company. After all, why did the old General Manager step down? It was because we, the older generation, felt he was too mediocre and didn't know how to be enterprising."
"…This, this." Zhang Caidong seemed completely frightened, taking two trembling steps forward.
He happened to come behind Minister Zhao.
Like a frightened little rabbit, he leaned forward and looked out the window at the battle zone where the formal employees and temporary workers had completely erupted.
Especially glancing at the corpses left by both sides and the faint smell of blood drifting over.
And the tragic battle scene.
He even covered his chest with his trembling arms, clearly shaking very badly.
"Heh heh."
Minister Zhao glanced at Zhang Caidong, who seemed frightened, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone. Standing inside the window, he said triumphantly: "Don't be afraid, Caidong. Our General Manager Xue Zhigang has been busy wasting precious fragments of spiritual realm imprints and faith to charge the leader's core, researching his so-called artifact fragments, with no time or energy to deal with such trivial matters…"
But before Minister Zhao could finish speaking, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of a cold light in the narrow space.
A flash of deathly light suddenly pulled out from Zhang Caidong's collar!
"You…! ! !" The sneer on Minister Zhao's face hadn't faded when a look of horror appeared in his eyes.
'Puff!'
Then, he watched helplessly as Zhang Caidong plunged the short knife into his chest, directly into his heart, and twisted it violently, instantly disrupting the heartbeat.
As a mouthful of blood gushed from his throat, the obese Minister Zhao, weighing nearly 300 pounds, had no strength to shout and fell headfirst to the edge of the window.
He slumped to the ground, his mouth wide open and full of blood, trying to say something.
"It's me!" Zhang Caidong snorted coldly, pulled out another short knife from his lower back, and slashed at his throat again.
He directly slit his throat.
Completely draining his blood!
In just ten seconds, the light in Minister Zhao's eyes completely disappeared, and his eyes were completely dull.
He died completely.
"Aww! ! !"
Almost at the moment of Minister Zhao's death, the pig-headed orcs who sensed something was wrong roared.
These were all spirit realm followers that Minister Zhao had personally signed contracts to bring to this Blue Star world, belonging to him personally.
The two sides had a special soul-level connection.
Minister Zhao was also the Blue Star anchor point for these pig-headed orc followers.
Therefore, when he died, the anchor point disappeared, and these pig-headed orc followers knew that something must have happened to the Blue Star human they were following.
Of course, they would roar in extreme anger, taking advantage of the fact that they had not been ejected by the Blue Star rules, to avenge Minister Zhao, their master!
This was also to vent the anger in their hearts for the terrible prison they would soon re-enter in the star realm, frozen in time!
"Ten seconds!" Zhang Caidong didn't care about the angry roars coming from downstairs.
And the sound of approaching footsteps.
Instead, he threw the two short knives out the window, reached out and pressed hard on Minister Zhao's chest and throat, and put on a frightened look again, shouting loudly: "Someone come! Someone come! The temporary workers! Have rebelled!"
'Crash!'
At this moment, the pig-headed orcs also rushed in.
The leader was a more than 2-meter-tall, extremely obese pig-headed orc elite leader, with bloodshot eyes, hissing and panting heavily as he held the chain hammer in his hand.
"What's wrong! What happened to Minister Zhao!" These pig-headed orcs asked with ferocious faces.
Especially looking at his slumped body by the window, his heart and throat destroyed, already dead, these pig-headed orcs were even more furious, raising the chain hammer in their hands and smashing it heavily into the room of the conference room that Minister Zhao liked the most on weekdays, smashing all the tables, chairs, benches, and decorative cabinets to pieces.
Even more so, some went directly to Minister Zhao's side, pushing aside Zhang Caidong, who was crying with tears streaming down his face.
They stared at the corpse that had completely lost its breath.
With bloodshot eyes, they glared at Zhang Caidong and angrily questioned, "What exactly happened!? How did Minister Zhao die!? Who killed Minister Zhao!?"
Including the official employees who had heard the commotion outside and rushed in one by one.
At this moment, they were all dumbfounded.
Even, fearful.
One of the six ministers of the Diesel Company, and also the highly powerful and important minister of the Quality Inspection Department, second only to the Transportation Department in status, had died in his conference room.
How could this be!?
"What exactly is going on!?" Especially those pig-headed men who were Minister Zhao's subordinates were now extremely angry, roaring loudly, and frantically smashing the various furniture in the conference room with the flail hammers in their hands.
They were so frenzied that they could not control themselves.
Because for spiritual realm beings, returning to that time-frozen spiritual realm scene, where they could only remain motionless, but their minds could still have some ability to think, that kind of pain, that kind of torment, that kind of horror that could never be escaped, was difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Therefore, even if these spiritual realm beings died in battle, they would not want to return to that terrifying prison where they did not even know how long time had passed, or where there was simply no concept of time!
Of course, they were angry!
"Cough cough!" At this moment, Zhang Caidong, who had been pushed aside, stretched out his blood-stained hands, barely propped himself up, and said loudly, "It was a temporary worker! I saw a temporary worker assassinate Minister Zhao! Then he jumped out the window and ran away! It was the temporary worker who did it!"
"Temporary worker!?"
Inside the conference room, the Blue Star humans and the pig-headed men all roared and exclaimed at this moment.
The Blue Star humans exclaimed with some disbelief.
The pig-headed men roared!
"That's right, it was a temporary worker! Originally, Minister Zhao and I were chatting happily here, but a temporary worker hiding behind the window directly gave Minister Zhao two knives! He directly killed Minister Zhao!!!"
Zhang Caidong was crying with tears streaming down his face at this moment, and his face was full of anger and distortion: "I didn't even see clearly who it was!"
"Are those temporary workers really going to rebel!?" All the official employees present were shocked.
Their eyes were even more extremely angry.
Regarding Zhang Caidong, who was now covered in blood and had just been by Minister Zhao's side, no one doubted his words.
Or rather.
No one doubted the statement of this Zhang Caidong, who had been personally appointed by General Manager Xue Zhigang and had already served as the Deputy Minister of the Transportation Department, holding a high position and great power!
Moreover, there was no thought of doubt!
Besides, at this time, Zhang Bo also squeezed in from outside: "What's going on!? What's going on!? How could Minister Zhao have died!?"
Zhang Bo's face was equally extremely shocked.
Only when he saw Zhang Caidong, who was still wailing and crying as if he had been frightened, did his whole person freeze for a moment.
A certain gleam and speculation immediately appeared in the depths of his eyes.
He couldn't help but swallow.
He hardened his heart.
He quickly walked over, and white light bloomed in his hand, immediately pressing it on Zhang Caidong's head.
Almost two or three seconds later, he opened his eyes and said loudly: "That's right, it was the temporary worker who did it!"
Zhang Bo directly confirmed Zhang Caidong's statement!
"It really was those temporary workers!?" The faces of all the official employees present showed anger: "We have already given them so many rights! They actually dare to rebel!"
Even more so, an official employee roared while gritting his teeth: "Kill those temporary workers! Kill those temporary workers!"
"Kill those temporary workers!"
These pig-headed men, who were already feeling weakness all over their bodies and were gradually turning into illusory shadows, were now even more angry. Hearing these words, they turned their heads and rushed out of the conference room.
And quickly rushed down the huge pier that was thirty or forty meters high, raising the flail hammers in their hands.
In the eyes of those temporary workers who had already begun to bleed, had begun to suffer casualties, and had begun to fear, they rushed in like cannonballs, and then began to slaughter wantonly!
This further aroused the killing desire of those official employees.
Because they could see it.
These pig-headed men.
Were actually Minister Zhao of the Quality Inspection Department's personal guards, his spiritual realm followers, elite pig-headed men with extremely strong combat power!
"Kill! Kill these temporary workers!" All the official employees present became frenzied and excited.
Leading the pig-headed men behind them, they began to strangle these temporary workers.
In just a short moment.
The temporary workers and their spiritual realm followers were directly slaughtered until blood flowed all over the ground.
Hundreds of people died at the hands of these pig-headed men.
Moreover, because more official employees poured over, bringing their pig-headed men, the action of waving the flail hammers was cruelly slaughtering these temporary workers.
"They just want to slaughter us! Resist! We must resist!" Then, among the temporary workers, some Blue Star humans were already shouting.
Not only were they shouting, but they were also beckoning the temporary workers around them, telling them to lead their followers to charge forward.
At this moment, when all the temporary workers were at a loss and didn't know what had happened, it further allowed those temporary workers who came out of the dormitory to join the battle, and began to fight with those pig-headed men who were strangling them!
Of course, on the Quality Inspection Department, more official employees of the Quality Inspection Department also howled because of the minister's death and rushed down with the pig-headed men.
They were all Minister Zhao's promoted confidants, and they usually had close relationships with Minister Zhao.
Now that Minister Zhao was dead.
Of course, they would rush down to avenge Minister Zhao and kill more temporary workers!
Moreover, in the surrounding piers, official employees who noticed the abnormality also came out one after another.
They also began to command their pig-headed men to kill those temporary workers!
The official employees now did not know what had happened.
They now, including those temporary workers who came out now.
All had only one thought.
"The temporary workers want to rebel!"
"The official employees want to cleanse!"
They were now fighting each other fiercely for their respective thoughts.
Even under artificial fueling and the tacit approval of the higher-ups, this battle became more and more fierce, even on the city walls, on the city gates, and on the side of the guards of various key roads, regardless of whether they were official employees or temporary workers, they all rushed over.
Then they fought together!
Of course, the pig-headed men still relied on their advantages in close combat to directly suppress the temporary workers.
The temporary workers themselves were some guys with relatively poor levels, so they were selected to become temporary workers, and they received less welfare on weekdays, and the number of their spiritual realm beings was not only small but also of poor quality.
Even if they relied on the number of temporary workers, which looked extremely large.
But facing the strangulation of the pig-headed men.
They were still dying in pieces.
In itself, this battle was a massacre!
A one-sided massacre of temporary workers by pig-headed men.
And on the edge of the Quality Inspection Department's large tent, Zhang Bo helped Zhang Caidong up. Looking at this person with the same surname and clan who came out of the city-center village and was being used by him, Zhang Bo then began to act: "Did you do it?" he asked.
"Yeah." Zhang Caidong, who was good at acting, showed a smile at this time: "The Diesel Company is in chaos, I did it, amazing, right?"
"Why like this?" Zhang Bo was puzzled.
He didn't understand. Zhang Caidong had already become the Deputy Minister, holding a high position and great power, and there were also very good opportunities for promotion in the future.
It seemed that his future was better than his own.
Why did he suddenly start provoking the contradictions between official employees and temporary workers, and also kill Minister Zhao of the Quality Inspection Department?
"That guy surnamed Zhao is dead, then you can be the Minister of the Quality Inspection Department." Zhang Caidong spat a mouthful of blood to the side. It was the internal injuries caused by the pig-headed men pushing him too hard when they pushed him against the wall.
But Zhang Caidong didn't care at all, but smiled triumphantly: "Moreover, the Diesel Company is also going to be in danger."
"What do you mean?" Zhang Bo's eyes flickered as he looked at Zhang Caidong. He realized that he didn't seem to understand the actions of this person with the same surname and clan.
He also didn't understand why Zhang Caidong would be so confident.
"Listen." Zhang Caidong tilted his head to listen at this time: "The sound is different now."
"What sound is different?" Zhang Bo frowned at this time, becoming more and more puzzled and also a little anxious.
Because he didn't know what was happening.
But just as Zhang Bo wanted to open his mouth again, his expression froze slightly, and he subconsciously tilted his head to listen. The expression in his eyes became more and more surprised, and even carried a bit of horror: "You…"
Zhang Bo looked at Zhang Caidong.
Zhang Caidong laughed even more triumphantly, "That's right, Brother Bo, I am the inside agent. I not only disrupted the current Diesel Company, but also lured those Human troops over, intending to deal a fatal blow to the Diesel Company!"
"You…" Zhang Bo swallowed, wanting to say something.
But listening to the noisy shouts outside, the angry howls, and the shrill sound of arrows tearing through the air.
Zhang Bo understood everything.
This was happening because while the Diesel Company was experiencing internal strife, external Human troops had attacked!
Quickly going to the window, Zhang Bo saw at a glance those Human elite warriors outside the city gate, wearing full iron armor, armed to the teeth, and holding long spears, rushing over in rows, his expression extremely astonished.
And seeing that neither the formal employees nor the temporary workers were stopping them.
Even when the formal employees wanted to lead the pig-headed men to block the Human troops, the temporary workers led their spirit realm followers to stop them, and even faintly joined forces with the Human soldiers, starting to kill the pig-headed men of the formal employees.
He was even more speechless.
"How could this be?" Zhang Bo's heart was not afraid at this moment, but he was somewhat short-circuited in his thinking because he had not anticipated it.
He needed to know that the Human troops attacking the Diesel Company was something he himself had never expected.
"How is it? Brother Bo?" Zhang Caidong's voice appeared again from behind, asking with a triumphant tone, "Am I amazing? This trick of sowing discord directly disrupted the Diesel Company's defenses, and then at this time, I lured the Human troops to rush over, directly killing their way in, a rapid advance, and next they will kill General Manager Xue Zhigang, sealing the deal!"
Zhang Caidong was truly very proud.
He was the chief contributor to this plan!
Moreover, he had not lost anything, and his subordinates had not lost anything.
Including the one in front of him with the same surname and clan, Zhang Caidong dared to guarantee that introducing him to Shen Mu would allow him to live well in Shen Mu's Human territory.
So, while Zhang Bo was dumbfounded, he said, "Brother Bo, just based on you being a prediction-type mage, a spellcaster, and having the ability to identify who is telling the truth, I think that Human lord will have to hold you in high esteem! Your living conditions will definitely not be lower than what you have now in this Diesel Company!"
"Then I really… thank you." Zhang Bo swallowed at this moment, his face full of complexity.
He really didn't expect it.
His original plan was to create a conflict between the Diesel Company and the Human territory, so that his true power, the wood elf village of the Green Leaf Group, could develop sufficiently.
Then he would fish in troubled waters, be a mantis stalking the cicada, and eat the largest piece of meat from the Diesel Company.
The remaining scraps would be thrown to the new Human lord.
That's it.
That's how simple it was.
"But, how could it become like this!?" Zhang Bo's heart was like the sea in a storm, stirring up a violent storm.
But he didn't dare to show it on his face.
No one knew that Zhang Bo was an inside agent of the Green Leaf Group, not even Zhang Caidong.
So now he had to keep this secret from being discovered.
Otherwise, if it was really discovered.
Not only would Zhang Caidong suspect him, but even if he went to live in that new Human territory, he would be treated specially and not truly trusted.
Instead, it would be better to follow Zhang Caidong's plan and surrender to that Human territory now.
That way, he could infiltrate his forces.
And then make plans!
"Brother Bo, I'll introduce you to the new Human lord then, his name is Shen Mu." Zhang Caidong didn't notice the abnormality on Zhang Bo's face at this time.
Of course, even if he did notice, he would only think that Zhang Bo was shocked by knowing his plan.
So he continued, "When the time comes, let's cancel all the previous spirit realm follower contracts and replace them all with spirit realm Human followers, so as to avoid being affected by the souls of demi-humans, becoming neither human nor ghost."
"Yeah." Zhang Bo just nodded at this time.
He could only nod at this time.
Especially looking at the Human spear-bearers in iron armor below, rushing up in rows.
Behind them were Human archers holding longbows and crossbows, constantly shooting those pig-headed men who dared to block the way in front of them into hedgehogs.
And there were also Human warriors holding armor-piercing axes, occasionally throwing javelins, fiercely rushing towards those pig-headed men.
Quickly rushing forward, crushing those pig-headed men who had no time to react.
Because these pig-headed men, and those formal employees, had not anticipated being attacked at all, and were also entangled by those temporary workers, unable to withdraw from the battle to reorganize their troops to resist, these pig-headed men were constantly dying and being injured as the Human troops advanced.
This caused the morale of these pig-headed men and those formal employees to plummet seriously.
Some pig-headed men or formal employees even began to flee on the battlefield when things looked bad.
In such a chaotic battlefield, these pig-headed men and formal employees didn't know what was happening, they only knew that the temporary workers had become traitors, had begun to rebel, and had joined forces with the Human troops, starting to attack them.
They were unable to organize an effective resistance due to the chaos, and didn't even have a formation.
Thus, at the moment of contact, they were completely crushed by the rounds of attacks and volleys of arrows from those prepared Human spear-bearers and crossbowmen.
Even the avenue in the middle of the mound was completely cleared, allowing those Human spear-bearers who were still advancing to move unhindered.
"Continue! Forward!"
And this was the effect Shen Mu wanted!
In front, Aireen, holding a lance, led 100 Swadian sergeants at the forefront.
Behind them were 300 Swadian infantry, 500 Swadian light infantry, and 500 Swadian militia following at the very back.
It was as if they were wielding sharp long knives, killing all enemies who interfered and resisted in front of them with each strike.
Marching forward.
Rushing towards the huge earthen mound in the very center, about 30 meters high, the chieftain's mound.
As for the sides, the Lake Rat Gang Destroyers, holding armor-piercing axes and carrying hooked javelins, were also closely following.
Protecting the archers and crossbowmen from the Vaegirs and Rhodoks at the same time.
They were also actively pursuing and killing those fleeing pig-headed men.
Taking advantage of the opponent's retreat and inability to counterattack, they actively attacked and killed them, causing losses to the pig-headed men's vital forces.
So that even if these pig-headed men reorganized, they would be unable to counterattack because of their small numbers and the large number killed by them.
As for the very back, it was Shen Mu and his knights and heavy cavalry.
"Pay attention to guarding the surroundings!" Fatis was still loudly directing the Swadian heavy cavalry and Holy Tree cavalry scattered around, having them guard the important roads near the city gate.
Because their mission, after easily capturing the city gate, was to guard the retreat route.
As long as there was a situation.
They would first escort Shen Mu away!
"No need." But Shen Mu, looking at the road that had been completely cleared in front of him, had a solemn expression: "This battle is impossible without me!"
Because the dialogue box in front of Shen Mu had already appeared.
There was a reward for capturing the city gate.
And…
The second stage of the new mission!
[Ding! Congratulations! You and your troops have successfully captured the city gate! You have completed the first stage of the mission!]
[You have received the reward — Legion-level Natural Care Scroll (3000 people).]
[Second stage mission requirements released:]
[Charge up the Chieftain's Mound!]
