Chapter 658: Smart and brainless
Similar things soon happened in several other main headquarters of the anti-lizardmen coalition.
Similar to the half-orcs, the tribal alliance "Waterside" headed by the half-murlocs, and the tribal alliance "Green Dragon Scales" headed by the Yalong people have all accepted the "funding" of the Smuggling Federation, and they have already made up their minds to A battle with the Lizardmen, with or without funding, this battle will be fought.
However, the "five-town alliance" with human pioneers as the backbone has changed its attitude. These pioneers are not ambitious. The reason why they left their hometowns and went to the South China Sea to establish pioneering villages and towns is naturally the idea of "opening up territory". Yes, but the most important thing is to avoid lords, taxes and wars - those who want to make achievements and open up new territories, ran over to join the army as early as the Thrace and Molai wars, and many of them really did it because of standing in line. Correct and rewarding, prompting more people to leave here. There are really not many ambitious people left now.
They joined the Anti-Lizardmen Alliance mainly for geographical reasons. Lizardmen's development area is in the north and west of the island. They are mainly in the east of the island. To the south is the territory of the orcs, to the north is the territory of the half-murlocs, and to the west is the territory of the Argonians. In this environment, they really have no confidence to shout the slogan "Butter not cannons".
But now, things are different. A certain chamber of commerce that supported this alliance was hit hard, and could no longer give more and stronger support, and the army of lizardmen had already set off, and a decisive battle would soon be ushered in. At this time, even if they quit temporarily, the other three would not be able to take the risk to attack them first—even if they came, there would be nothing to fear. The big deal was to gather the residents of the five towns to the top of the five towns, New Norma Town, where the town was established. On the flat land of a mountainside, there are only three roads down the mountain, and it is easy to defend. After ten days and a half months, the three-way coalition will face the danger of being attacked by the lizards and human pioneers.
Therefore, the mayor and elders of the Five Towns Alliance couldn't help but hesitate. They discussed it repeatedly, but couldn't come to a conclusion for a long time.
In fact, hesitation and procrastination are their conclusions.
They backed off and didn't want to fight this battle—a battle that wise men understand that won't do them any good. The main business of the pioneers is farming, and the Dragon Head Island is so large that it is impossible for them to have a big conflict with the lizardmen at least in the next hundred years. In contrast, the half-orcs whose main occupation is animal husbandry have to compete with the lizardmen for the central plain; the half-murlocs who rely on fishing and commerce as their economic pillars have to compete with the lizardmen for trade share; as for the half-dragon people, they want to see everyone. There's no need for a reason at all.
The leaders of the other three factions were not fools either. Naturally, they saw the thoughts of the Five Towns Alliance. They were very angry, and the most grumpy half-orcs were even more violent. But anger returned to anger, and in the end, they did not choose to attack now and find trouble with the Five Towns Alliance.
The reason is of course the same as the old men of the Five Towns Alliance thought. The war is coming, and they really can't make time to open up another battlefield.
However, when the leaders of the three parties brought the army to meet, they still scolded the Five Towns Alliance unanimously, and agreed to go back to attack the five towns after defeating the lizardmen. This time it was not a robbery or conquest. They were determined to **** wash the five towns, shock everyone with blood, and ensure that no one would dare to play this trick again!
After being scolded and sent harshly, the next thing is to eat and drink. The army of lizardmen is approaching, and the battle to decide the future of Longtou Island is about to begin. Why don't you hurry up and eat and drink?
Soldiers need a good meal to be full of energy. And seeing that they are going to work hard, how can they be brave enough to fight without giving them enough food and drink?
The prisoner had to eat a meal before going to the gallows!
A mere meal can effectively boost morale and increase your chances of victory. The leaders of the three major forces are all smart people, so how could they be stingy with this little food and drink?
Anyway, as long as you win the battle, no matter how much you eat and drink, you can get it back from the Lizardmen! Even if the Lizardmen can't grab enough things, isn't there still the Five Towns Alliance to grab...
"They are eating, it's messy and not serious." The black dragon hovered high in the sky, observing the situation on the ground. In the chat channel, the seed girl said disdainfully, "It's a mess, it's just a bunch of rabble!"
"They are just a mob." Panda said, "These tribal alliances and the like all rely on clan blood or personal force to combine, and they will not and cannot carry out normal military training."
"I think if there is a fight, Yuneruo's subordinates will be able to defeat them with just one charge." Seed Mother said.
"That's not necessarily the case. In fact, the rabble may not be able to fight. The Zulu people used spears to defeat the quasi-modern British army." In the chat channel, Wang Tuhao said, "You should be cautious, don't worry. Don't be overturned by the mob, it would be a big shame."
Yunero nodded secretly, and sent out a few words with little magic power: "Be cautious."
Locke also came out: "Seeing that you are still clear-headed, I am relieved. The war is coming, so I won't set up a flag here to defeat the character. In short, be careful and beware of fraud. Don't underestimate those tribesmen. , lack of culture and lack of brains are two completely different things. In the past few years, I have seen the so-called 'ignorant villagers' little cunning more than once, and they may be tricked if they are not careful."
Immediately after, Sanyu said something similar: "War is a major event, and a little carelessness can cost so many lives - seriously, I think you should take it easy, and we all rush to help. We immortals are rushing in The first line is not only easy to win, but also won’t kill too many people.”
Yunero smiled, and then said to him in a private chat: "Forget it, the country of the lizardmen only makes sense if they bleed their own blood. It is all about our strength, even if we build a country, There will be no centripetal cohesion in such a country.”
"There has never been a savior, nor a fairy emperor? Your words immediately reminded me of The Internationale."
"...If you can think of the Internationale all at once, you are also a talent."
"This thing is more popular abroad than you think. When I was studying cooking in France, the chef often hummed a few words."
"The French are so revolutionary!"
"After all, it is the birthplace of the Scarlet Wave."
"Okay, I have very little magic power, so please tell me about it."
"no problem!"
Afterwards, Sanyu relayed Yuneruo's words in the group chat. For his thoughts, the traversers expressed their support or understanding, but there were still a few leveling mad licking their faces and saying, "I just want to have some experience"...
Yuneruo didn't stop him from making it clear that he wanted to try to gain experience. He just asked these people to stand by at the headquarters with him after they came, and after the lizardmen soldiers in front had initially broken through the enemy's formation and had achieved the key conditions for victory, they would then rush into the battlefield with him.
"Wouldn't it be too late?"
"No, just right."
So, things settled down.
When camping that night, the leveling madmen who came to gain experience arrived. They looked at the dots of fire on the plain more than ten miles away, and they all showed itchy expressions. If Panda hadn't persuaded them, I'm afraid that they would have to rush over now. Without further ado, they would go over and over again and cut a few rounds to earn a lot of experience points.
That would be great, of course, but the battle was pretty much just the pursuit.
Relying on the opponent's rabble, the battle during the day is okay, but if it is attacked in the middle of the night, 100% will collapse on the spot.
Thinking of this, the panda couldn't help but feel a little itchy.
So he suggested: "Let's just launch a night attack, anyway, just let the lizardmen take the lead. It makes no difference whether it is day or night?"
Yuneruo thought for a while and gathered the lizardmen elders.
"Night attack? That's a good idea!" an elder with a dull color scales exclaimed, "I love night! The temperature is low at night, and those hot-blooded species are as eye-catching as torches!"
"It would be better if there was more wind and rain," said another elder. "It is better for us that the torches cannot be lit on a rainy night!"
"When it rains, bows and arrows can't be used," said the bow and arrow instructor Skye. "Don't you want to see what the long-lost Lizardmen archer will be like?"
The elders suddenly hesitated, and they talked a lot, but they couldn't reach a consensus.
In the end, it was Yunero who made the final decision.
"Our goal is not only to win, but more importantly to promote our prestige! Although the night attack can be easily won, the enemy will only publicize our cunning, and will not lament our might. In this case, we will wait for tomorrow. Let’s fight again during the day, let them see clearly how they lost, and never dare to forget our strength!”
The elders cheered immediately, and even those who wanted to attack at night were fully supported, and their opinions were immediately unified.
Seeing that they were so excited, Panda couldn't help but ask Yuneruo in private chat, "Didn't they tend to attack at night a lot earlier? Why did you change your mind immediately when you opened your mouth?"
"As long as it's my opinion, they will support it no matter if it's a fight during the day or at night." Yuneruo replied helplessly, "Just treat them as a bunch of brainless fans."
Seeing these tall, mighty guys with scales all over their heads, Panda couldn't help but sighed secretly, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Yuneruo.
