Lord of War

103. Connecting

The wild land is a land of wealth, a land of dreams, and a gold digging field second only to the capital of trade. But at the same time, it is also the most famous bloody place on the mainland, the meat grinder battlefield, and the birthplace of many famous generals.

Someone once said that if a 100-man slave-hunting team could successfully capture five small tribes, then he would have a place in the positions of powerful generals in the major duchies. And if he can rely on these captured tribes to form a large-scale army and successfully defeat at least three medium-sized tribes, then it will not be a problem for him to directly enter the military headquarters of the major kingdoms

At first, everyone thought it was just a joke. It wasn't until the monarch of the Emerian Empire personally welcomed Hannibal Bacca, who was born as a slave catcher, back home that everyone finally took this so-called "joke" seriously

Today, Hannibal, who made the entire barren land a touchstone for excellent generals, is the highest leader of the military command department who has the right to mobilize the military power of the entire Emerian Empire. The plans for the reorganization of the Earth Dragon Legion and the Flying Dragon Legion of the Emeria Empire were all written by him. It can be said that his arrival is the key to making the military power of the entire Emeria Empire comparable to that of the Chinas Empire. figure.

Jason Wayne, the military president of the Chinese Empire, once said: "This man's ability is not inferior to mine."

With just one sentence, Hannibal Baca went straight from his original obscurity to the second place among the top ten generals in the mainland.

It was precisely because of Commander Jason's words that the barren land became even more chaotic and bloody. If that wasn't the case, how could a businessman who is famous for his huge profits set up a snake route here in the barren land?

The establishment of this route has brought profits far beyond anyone's imagination in this world.

Not to mention the first-hand slave trade and selection, the logistical supply required by the commanders who use this barren land as a training ground and the slave catchers who come to capture slaves is an astronomical figure. After all, these people are no better than those regular troops backed by the state or those private troops raised by big families. Even the logistical problems of the slave hunting team that has signed a contract with the nobles need to be solved by themselves.

It was the establishment of the first-tail snake route that led to the extinction of all the small tribes that originally inhabited the periphery in the entire barren land.

However, the barren land was originally an area where the weak and the strong preyed on the strong, and the tribes here were not necessarily so united, and internal conquests were even more common. But soon, the people here in the barren land discovered another bad news: after the small tribes on the outskirts were all slaughtered, the greedy outsiders finally set their sights on the big tribes in the depths of the barren land, so the scale became bigger and bigger. The huge war thus kicked off.

At the beginning of the war, these tribes in the wild land were indeed at a disadvantage for a time, and even several medium-sized tribes and tribes attached to them were wiped out. Until the last two years. The appearance of the King of the Wild finally made the situation in the Wild Land slightly better. At least the Wild Land is no longer a back garden where the troops of outsiders can play as they please.

"That is to say, the appearance of the King of the Wild was actually caused by powerful external pressure factors?" Sean looked at the heavy hammer, and then asked.

"Yes." Chong Hammer nodded, "But how the king was elected. We don't know. He seemed to appear suddenly, and he appeared in Wang's "Qihang☆Wuxianghuang" court one night Then headed to the most stalemate battlefield in the east to lead the tribal troops to drive out the invaders.

After that, several tribes united and said that he was the king, and then the first royal court meeting was held. All tribal chiefs above the second-class seat must participate in this meeting. "

The first-class tribe is the title of the most powerful tribes in the barren land, and their status in the barren land is like an empire on the mainland. Followed by the second-class seats, the combat effectiveness of these tribes may not be as good as the first-class seats. But they couldn't become the first-class tribe because of the lack of the Great Witch Festival. After that, there are third-class seats and fourth-class seats. These tribes are the so-called medium-sized tribes. In terms of combat power, let alone the first-class seats, there is a huge gap between the second-class seats; the last is the fifth-class seats. This is the so-called small tribe.

In the past, there were actually bottom seats after the fifth seats, but because of the conquests and killings in the past few years, now all the tribes in the bottom seats have been hunted down and killed.

The Chongyan tribe where the heavy hammer is located is a small tribe with a fifth-class seat.

"The king who appeared suddenly...consecutive victories..." Xiao En frowned, and he seemed to be able to piece together a complete pattern in his consciousness, but he lacked the most important piece of the puzzle, "Hey, brat, you You have been living here in the barren land all year, right? Have you heard any rumors?"

The last sentence was Sean's question to Ruby.

Ruby turned his head proudly, and snorted softly: "Is this your attitude of begging for help?"

Cecilia burst out laughing, she thinks this young man is too bold, right? He was almost concussed by a heavy hammer before, but the scar will heal and he forgets the pain, so he dared to be so presumptuous again.

Sean smiled slightly, that smile was very kind, but the more Ruby looked at it, the more he felt chills in his heart: "Hammer, his brain may have been a little bit sideways by your previous slap."

As a heavy hammer who has been hanging out with the outside world for a while, of course he is very aware of Xiao En's subtext, so he smiled immediately: "Then I will give him another shot, and put his brain back in place?"

Now Ruby couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately jumped up.

He was really slapped out of the shadow by a heavy hammer. At that time, he was unconscious for three days and three nights. Even though it has been almost a week since that day, his head still has some pain, so this will see him suddenly Enveloped by a shadow, he jumped up like a frightened rabbit, looking like he wished he could stay as far away from the hammer as he could.

However, in a panic, he rushed towards the place where Sean was sitting, and waited until he found out. He was no more than an arm's length away from Sean. Seeing Xiao En's harmless smile, Ruby suddenly showed a hearty smile that fits the characteristics of young people: "My lord, what do you want to know? I promise I will tell you everything!"

"You want to talk now?" Sean said with a smile.

"I've always wanted to be frank with adults."

"But I don't want to hear it now."

"Well……"

"Heavy Hammer, I'll leave this kid to you first." Xiao En waved to the heavy hammer on one side, who walked up very diligently, scooped up all the rupees that were trying to escape with one hand, and then went straight to him. take away.

"You don't want to buy people's hearts by doing this." Cecilia smiled and sat next to Sean, and said softly.

If the sky oppresses me and splits the day, if the earth restrains me and crushes the ground, we are born free, who dares to be superior!

"Grind his arrogance first." Sean said very calmly, "This brat has good potential. But he has too many bad habits from the Thieves Guild. Now let the heavy hammer repair it. On the way back, let him Andre continued to hone it, and I was relieved when I finally handed it over to William....Otherwise, no matter how good the potential is, this brat will not care about it. Doesn’t it make me appear incompetent.”

Cecilia snickered. However, he did not continue to dwell on this topic. Instead, he changed the subject: "Why do you care so much about the wild land?"

"Because the wild land is the most critical step in my life plan." Sean said, "If I can't take this first step, then what's the point of my subsequent plans?"

Cecilia nodded to show that she understood, and then continued: "Listen to the meaning of the hammer, don't you think the appearance of the king of the wild is very coincidental? It seems... It seems that it is deliberately to prevent the wild land from being completely destroyed. It didn’t appear because it was occupied. Moreover, his series of layouts, judging from the situation in the past two years, are obviously very targeted, and they are only aimed at those slave hunting teams, nobles, and imperial troops. The trade routes of the Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance have no targeted arrangements, which brings the pattern of the entire barren land back to a certain balance from the initial inclination."

Hear Cecilia's words. At this moment, Sean suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, as if he had found the last key piece of the puzzle: "Libra!"

"Qihang☆Wuxianghuang" "What?" Cecilia was at a loss.

"The current pattern of the barren land is a balance!" Sean stood up abruptly from the ground, "on the left is the tribe that owns the entire barren land commanded by the king, while on the right is the assembly of slave hunting teams, nobles, The powerful combat power of the armies of the major kingdoms..." While saying this, Xiao En stretched out his left and right hands and gestured: "In the beginning, because the wild land was a mess, it was not the armies of those kingdoms at all. The opponents of the slave hunting team, but now that they have a king, the power structure of the two sides has returned to the previous balance of power. Now no one dares to mess around, but small-scale conflicts and confrontations have continued... "

Hearing Sean's words, Cecilia also suddenly came to her senses: "As long as these small-scale conflicts and confrontations continue, the interests of the snake route can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. These businessmen have spent huge sums of money to create this route. It won’t be in vain.”

"So this king of the wilderness is actually a member of the Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance?" Tini was a little dazed listening, and finally understood at this moment.

"No." Sean shook his head. In his impression, although no player in the game saw the King of the Wild with his own eyes, the official data released at the time clearly stated that the King of the Wild is definitely a wild land. A native, "He is not necessarily a member of the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but he must have done business with the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Only in this way can he make highly targeted arrangements."

Having said that, Sean also fully understood one thing.

The history of this world has not changed significantly because of his arrival. It can even be said that it is precisely because of his appearance alone that the history of this world can continue to develop and advance according to the original script.

Because players are the most unreasonable group of people, they will do everything possible to be lazy about anything, but once there are major interests, they will swarm like locusts. It seems that back then, the Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance also existed. They also made a deal with the tribes in the wild land in order to ensure the profit and income of the first-tail snake route. It was precisely because of this deal that there were so many Players can join Horde camps in the Badlands to fight against these trade points in turn.

But the players themselves are the breakers of the rules, and it is impossible for them to pay attention to any rules, so the progress of the game is so completely destroyed, and the large investment in the first and last snake route ends in failure.

After figuring this out, Sean can finally be sure that the reason why the historical process of the wild land is different from what he knows is precisely because of the absence of breaking the rules.

And if he still wants to find Utopia, then the first thing he needs to do is to completely destroy the snake route.

Isn't this what players are best at being a rule breaker?

Xiao En looked up at the sky, and a long-lost excitement finally lit up in his eyes: "It's finally connected, the history of the two worlds." (To be continued...)
