Peeping, during the heyday of the Alison Empire, it once had the idea of a mercenary country and conducted a tentative attack. As a result, the soldiers of the Alison Empire discovered that their performance on the frontal battlefield was brilliant. The mercenaries of the mercenary country did not dare to compete with them head-on, and the organization of the mercenaries seemed very loose. There is no way to form a group combat force. So in the first month, they occupied a large area of land and almost annexed one third of the mercenary country.
The soldiers of the Allison Empire were very excited. They even wrote an oath to the king, vowing to completely occupy the mercenary country within three months. However, before the oath was sent to the desk of the King of the Allison Empire, The soldiers discovered that they were surrounded by the swamp of war.
The country of mercenaries is full of mercenaries, both from their own country and those who have immigrated from other places. They are often residents and mercenaries. Sometimes they just knock on the door of a house and find that there are several people from that family inside. It is not unusual for him to be a swordsman or a magician.
Judging from the nature of the mercenaries themselves, there are various combinations. There are like-minded friends who form a mercenary group together, there are families who form a mercenary group, there are also neighbors who join together, and there are even some who join together to form a mercenary group. A village is a large mercenary group. No matter which combination it is, the centripetal force, mutual loyalty and sense of responsibility of the mercenary group far exceed that of the army.
Although the large and small mercenary groups all fought independently, they also caused huge troubles to the Allison Empire. The logistics supply line suffered repeated attacks, and the small-scale rangers and scouts were repeatedly attacked. In other words, , unless all the soldiers of the Alison Empire are stationed in the camp, as long as some people are separated, whether it is a few, a dozen or even a hundred, they may suffer a devastating attack!
When a large team of people arrived at the scene, all they could see were the bodies of their own people. They went to the surrounding villages to investigate, but they could not find anything. Those common people, or in other words, people who just looked like common people. He has deep hostility towards Emperor Alison and it is impossible to cooperate.
The most serious thing is the rear. In order to quickly occupy the territory of the mercenary country, the Allison Empire's army often leaves only hundreds or thousands of soldiers to serve as guards after occupying an area, and the main force quickly moves forward. , and in the mercenary's rebellion, these guards were annihilated one after another. The Allison Empire's army found that they had been deeply trapped, and there were enemies everywhere!
The soldiers of the Alison Empire could not tell which one was a kind-hearted citizen and which one was the murderer who killed their companions. They were unable to control the situation. As for massacre... massacre is a taboo word! In human wars against other races, massacres often become human heroes, but in internal wars, massacres may be spurned by all mankind. Of course, massacre is not impossible, it mainly depends on the determination of the upper echelons of the Allison Empire!
First of all, the country of mercenaries is a country with extremely tough folk customs. Death cannot scare them, because they often fight with death, and massacres will inevitably lead to more fierce revenge. Moreover, they must be prepared to be strategically isolated. Other countries in the Pan-Continent are likely to unite to boycott the Allison Empire. Strategic materials such as metals and magic crystals will also be blocked, making it extremely difficult to obtain supplements from other countries. The country's specialty products will also become unsalable goods and be isolated and attacked politically and economically. If the feuding Mao Empire calls on other countries to jointly attack the Alison Empire under the banner of justice, it will also be in an extremely disadvantageous situation militarily.
With various disastrous results before their eyes, the upper echelons of the Allison Empire finally chose to retreat after weighing for a long time. The tactical plan to continue the attack in three directions was destroyed. The three armies gathered together and returned as quickly as possible. Allison Empire.
A few died here and a dozen died there. This kind of number is too small for a war. Although it happens very frequently, it seems to be completely negligible. But when they add up the numbers and add the guards Due to the losses caused by successive annihilations, the upper echelons of the Ellison Empire discovered that the number of casualties among their own people had reached a terrifying 40,000!
At this point, the war ended with the defeat of the invaders. No other country dared to take a look at the huge strategic resources of the mercenary country, where all the people were soldiers. The mercenary country and the Tumen Business Alliance were two unique political institutions in the north and south. It echoes and exists on the mainland, but compared with the latter, the mercenary country has 100% autonomy, but the Tumen Business Alliance has to rely on the Mao Empire. It is very important that the Tumen Business Alliance can develop to the extent it is today. The extent depends on the enlightened attitude of the monarchs of the Mayo Empire. If a cruel and greedy monarch is replaced, the life of the Tumen Business Alliance will not be so easy.
Blackwater City is one of the two most important cities in the mercenary country, and it is also one of the two major distribution centers for magic crystals in the Pancontinent. Magic crystal, two short words, can represent many, many things. In this magical world,
Demand and losses have reached astronomical figures. Who can control the lifeblood of the continent? The Alison Empire, which was originally the most powerful, gradually fell into a trough and was tied by the Maho Empire, which had been on the defensive. This was decisively related to the mercenary country's refusal to allow merchants from the Alison Empire to enter. After the invasion war, the mercenaries The Kingdom of War has implemented this policy for a full hundred years, which has had a huge impact on the economy of the Allison Empire. They can only purchase magic crystals at high prices from other countries or individual businessmen with relatively good relations. The losses over the past hundred years have been It has long been beyond calculation. This is also one of the most typical examples of karma on the mainland.
It was not until a hundred years later that the unparalleled beauty and youthful Princess Allison got married to the leader of a super mercenary group in the mercenary country that this retaliatory policy was canceled. As for the age gap between the two parties, The question of whether the marriage is political or not cannot be verified.
The two sons of the regiment leader died in accidents one after another, and the two-year-old grandson also died of illness a year later. In the end, the biological son of the beautiful princess inherited the position of the regiment leader. Was it full of coincidences or secrets? The conspiracy cannot be verified, and it has no value for verification. People only know that the Alison Empire has breathed a sigh of relief since then.
Of course, many of the effects are corresponding. The monarchs of other mainland countries have awakened to the potential threat of the mercenary country from the low point of the Allison Empire. While maintaining friendly relations with the mercenary country, they have vigilantly observed the mercenaries. They can tolerate their lifeline being controlled by a loose organization, but they will never allow a powerful dictatorship to be born! That would be a huge threat to all countries!
The upper echelons of the mercenary country seem to understand this truth. The four super mercenary groups take turns to govern, and each round is only for one year. No matter which mercenary group shows signs of development and growth, it will suffer from the other mercenary groups. To jointly suppress, they have the courage to engage in internal strife and internal fighting, or in other words, they know that they must consume their strength in internal strife and internal fighting, so as not to become public enemies!
These are all things Anfei got from the intermittent narrations of Chris and Susanna, but hearing them is not as good as seeing them. When he stepped into Blackwater City, Anfei smelled a completely different flavor from the Mao Empire and the Tumen Business Alliance.
First of all, the city wall of Blackwater City is very low. The mercenary country is both undefended and fortified. The city wall is not of much use. Among the pedestrians on the street, there are many people wearing swordsman logos and magician logos. The proportion far exceeds that of the Mayo Empire. However, the buildings on both sides of the street look very simple and not as tall and spectacular as the buildings of the Mayo Empire. , not as gorgeous as the Tumen Business Alliance.
A person who looked like a prostitute stood by the street and lifted up a woman's short skirt and rubbed the woman's butt vigorously. The woman looked like she was enjoying it; there was loud laughter in the tavern. The sound was so loud that it could deafen the ears of pedestrians on the street, but the people of the Mao Empire and the Tumen Business Alliance could not do such a thing. There was an elegant world over there, and here was a rough world. The sensory experience is very different.
An Fei found that pedestrians on the street were not interested in other pedestrians. Whenever they found a person whose behavior was full of weirdness, Chris and others would look at it curiously for a moment, while the people in Blackwater City turned a blind eye. .
In fact, Blackwater City is a very free city in comparison. The mercenary guild will not interfere with personal life, unless you endanger the safety of other people, even if you are riding in a carriage pulled by an elf slave girl, why not simply If you hang an elf slave girl on the street, no one will say anything because you are destroying your own things, but you will have to pay a certain cleaning fee.
Of course, one must be prepared, that is, the revenge of the proud elves!
When you see the words "elf female slaves", you think that their status is low. This is wrong. Female slaves only represent their status when they first mixed into human society, but the status of intelligent life can change over time. As time goes by, some people rise higher and higher, while others sink lower and lower. The wife of the leader of the Tao Tiger Mercenary Group, who is now in power, was once an elf slave girl, but not only did she take off her He became a slave and became a very influential upper-class figure. His husband gave birth to nine children, each of whom was a well-known strong man.
"An Fei, if people in Blackwater City learn about the wanted order issued by the Philip family, will it threaten our safety?" Bravi whispered while observing the passers-by.
"No." Susanna replied in a low voice: "Mercenaries are not killers, and Philip is just a great swordsman, and his influence is not that great."
"Let's find a place to stay first. Then we can rent one or simply buy a yard in the future." An Fei's eyes fell on the door number of a hotel.
