Warhammer

So they simply restricted the locations of both sides, with humans in the east and greenskins in the west, and they usually did not interfere with each other.

Naturally, humans will not rush to get close to the greenskins. This is not the real reason. It is not yet time for a civilized race like the Estalia, who are still relatively arrogant and have a long history of thousands of years, to bow down to the barbaric greenskin conquerors and degenerate into the ranks of elves and goblins to please these big guys.

As for the greenskins, the warlord chose a more reliable deputy to take control, and also had a death order from the boss: whoever has no business looking for fun with those shrimps, I will twist off his head when I come back and have fun with him.

So the two sides are relatively non-aggressive.

At the same time, in order to avoid the situation where the first thing to be done if the tribes really attacked the south would be to remove the thorn in the side of Wei Ling, the humans in the vassal army did not work hard, and even ran away in a panic - to the point of turning against the greenskins and stabbing them in the back.

Therefore, the warlords made arrangements to place humans in the east, occupying the big city and facing the Pina Forest; the greenskins were in the southwest, with a smaller area, behind the east city.

If the tribe attacks, the vassal army will be the first to bear the brunt.

Ai'er felt that such an arrangement was useless. If he were treated like this by the conquerors he was forced to serve, he would definitely have more things to worry about, not to mention whether he was willing to work. However, if the greenskins could advance triumphantly and win, he would just have to keep it in mind and think that if he endured the humiliation for a while, he would see the sun and moon turn dark and bright again...

But this also shows the peculiarity of that great warlord.

Whatever the details, it has thought of all these, and as long as the greenskins can continue to win, there will be no problem with such an arrangement. The families of the vassal army are all in the rear, which belongs to a pseudo-government under the control of the greenskins. Pseudo-emmm, it should not be counted as such, but it is just a loose autonomous city-state union with a high degree of local autonomy, but it has to serve the greenskin conquerors.

According to what Ai'er had learned, these city-states, towns, and villages that were autonomous and served the greenskin conquerors were also very unstable and undercurrents were surging. However, the greenskins were very powerful, and their butcher knives had not yet been turned on themselves, so there would not be large-scale riots or spontaneous uprisings for a while. But there would need to be some external interference, such as the greenskins' defeat in the northern expedition... or suddenly an army came out like a god, destroying the greenskin warbands along the way, under the banner of justice to save the Estalia...

These two places are among the three most critical places that cannot be ignored when El goes south. As for the third place, it is naturally Margarita, the pearl of the south, the capital of Estalia, where many generations of city princes ascended to the palace and nominally ruled all cities, governing the world for the goddess.

But Margarita mainly plays a role in the overall strategic level, economy, public opinion and orthodoxy, while Weiling and Marus are more military in nature.

A forward base for the greenskins, a forward base to contain the tribes.

If we take these two and retreat north, the road to the south by land will be blocked as the greenskins cannot pass through the Pina Forest.

Al was not completely sure about these two cities, but he already had a bold idea.

"If we take these two cities by hitting each other with stones, it will undoubtedly bring us huge losses. This will directly affect our future plans to liberate the Southern Kingdom and capture Margarita."

"And if we ignore it, the greenskins will have two nails on our heads, and they can cut off the connection between our legion and the Pina Forest headquarters at any time, making everything we have achieved in the south in vain. If the most dangerous situation occurs, the forest may even be lost."

"So whether it's Weiling or Marus, we must take them down. Otherwise, everything we have quickly gained in the south may also be lost quickly."

Al rubbed his hands and stood up, walked past the centaur and touched her short braids. The little mare suddenly became a little restless.

"We are back to square one again..." Al joked, "If we take over the two cities, we may suffer great losses, which will affect our future strategy. If we don't take over the two cities, it will definitely not work, which will also affect our future strategy."

"So the only way is to capture these two cities while preserving our strength as much as possible without causing us to suffer huge losses."

"So, what should we do?"

Al pretended to be confused again.

I suddenly felt secretly excited. It was really satisfying to have the answer in my mind...but actually I wasn't sure. Then I pretended to be profound and asked the ministers for advice, waiting for a group of smart people to give me the solution.

The pony opened his mouth, then lowered his head and said nothing more.

Al looked at Misha, the eldest daughter frowned and thought, then looked at Kael'thas, the second child seemed to have an idea, looked at his young father, smiled shyly but still said nothing.

Looking at the pair with a low sense of presence, petite body, and a notable feature of a pair of folded rabbit ears, they are the second or the second third among El's descendants to be included in the scope of investigation, along with the pony Alia.

The bond between the twins is very close, unlike other offspring with the same brothers, they are almost inseparable. No one can separate them except for El's order. The two of them cooperate with each other so well that they are almost one and the same. El simply treats them as one object.

But the rabbit didn't say anything. Al looked around again and the nun suddenly stood up.

"Estalia." The elder sister said, her frown had relaxed and her red eyes looked at El.

"Ok?"

The boy turned around.

"Our current army is not strong enough. If we attack head-on, we will suffer a lot. But there is another army in the south that can be used by us."

The corners of Al's mouth turned up in a slight smile.

Because she was not wearing a mask, the blessed charm that ignored race and gender was revealed, which made even a strong-willed nun dazed for a moment. However, her will was as strong as steel, and she adjusted herself after just a moment of daze.

The descendants, however, are half immune to this, probably because their affection for El has basically been maxed out, all of which has been put on filial piety, and they will not be moved by any other emotions.

"We still have the Estalia army at our disposal, the legion stationed in the eastern city of Viling, and the troops stationed in other cities in the south. We can instigate them to revolt, respond to our offensive, and even cooperate to attack the greenskins!"

"If we can successfully make that army surrender to us in advance by attacking Weiling, then the situation between us and the enemy will be greatly reversed in an instant. With our current strength, plus the cooperation of the tens of thousands of defenders in the city, we can easily eliminate the greenskins, and then march west to attack Marus!"

"Then, the question now is, how can we make this Estalia army, which is already willing to serve the greenskins, willingly surrender to us?"

Al asked with a smile.

The elder sister seemed to be infected by his emotions as well. Her resolute and heroic face, like a Valkyrie, even revealed a rare smile.

"They have two main concerns: First, their families are in a foreign land, which is considered to be under the control of the greenskins. If they betray the greenskins, it will be difficult to guarantee the safety of their loved ones."

"Second, and perhaps most importantly, they are afraid that if they rebel now, the greenskins will defeat the North again and gather their army to march south again, and they will kill all these 'rebel resistance fighters'."

"As long as we solve these two problems for them, even if it's just one of them, I believe that many people will no longer want to continue to submit to the brutal enslavement of the barbaric enemy."

The elder sister spoke out her thoughts in one breath, staring at El with her red eyes without blinking.

"Then..." The Eternal Chosen clapped his hands, "It seems that our direction is very clear?"

Chapter 37: Blood Mother, Political Commissar, New Army

No one expected it, or maybe everyone expected it.

The tribe's chariot, which had just stopped, rumbled into action again after a short period of peaceful rest, swallowing up young, fresh lives and transforming them into soldiers armed with steel and will.

War drums made of giant beast skins were beating all day long, and the sound of drums echoed in the vast Pina Forest. Footsteps, scolding, and war cries, these were the only three sounds left in the entire military camp.

The power of the gods no longer easily interferes with the mortal world, but once they do, the effects are significant.

The Iron Throne of the Blood Mother had drunk the blood of the Eternal Chosen since it was forged, and it has been a blood-sucking monster every day since then. As the new army gradually embarked on a right track that Aiur had briefly ignored before, the Iron Throne needed to be watered with blood more and more often, so that over a long period of time, even though the blood was absorbed completely by the hideous Iron Throne every time, unlike the Iron Throne used in the mortal world, the entire parade ground and military camp was still filled with a very strong smell of blood.

Even the surrounding gathering places were affected and had to apply to Al for relocation.

The solution was to double the size of the military compound, and surrounding gathering points were mostly moved to other places in order to avoid impacts, such as the most direct: conflict and increased violence.

And this war machine, which swallowed up the lives of 10,000 young and strong warriors in one breath, is now completely worth the rewards to Ai'er, far exceeding the tiny amount of cost that was insignificant in comparison.

In the re-held exercise, again, with Al watching and not intervening, the players on both sides remained the same, the venues remained the same, and even professions such as the "Political Commissar Priest" of the Blood Oath Brotherhood were eliminated by Al in advance to ensure that the exercise was "authentic."

Even though this was just an exercise and after two wins and one loss, the effect was exciting.

Before the war, the new soldiers were much quieter than before. They looked like taciturn people. They rested silently and obeyed orders silently. But from the moment the enemy, the veterans of the advance corps, appeared before their eyes, anger mixed with fighting spirit, from the brain to the limbs, from the internal organs to the skin, as if the whole person had turned into a spark that exploded from the Blood Mother Furnace and fell into the mortal world.

When the order to attack was given, they obeyed in silence and approached in silence, so much so that the commanders of the advance troops began to doubt: could it be that this "friendly army" had lost so miserably and shamefully twice before, and was then severely punished, which led to its current autism?

However, the moment they entered the charging distance, the red flames that swept towards them like a tidal wave, and the deafening battle cries of "Blood! Sacrifice! Blood Mother! Skull! Offering! - Throne" made many of the advance soldiers who had been guarding the front line and fighting against the green-skinned giants seem to see the terrifying army of tribal allies that they had the honor of fighting side by side with appear before them, replacing the immature faces of the new soldiers who had been ridiculed as "weak birds" and "not very good-looking vases".

With just one charge, the unprepared advance troops' positions were almost destroyed. They only managed to hold off the first wave of the new army's offensive by sending in reserve troops.

While the advance corps was confused, shocked and puzzled, they also discovered that these opponents, who had last fought less than two months ago, had made almost leaps and bounds in physique, fighting skills, tenacity and will to win.

Many veterans of the advance army were even horrified to find that they were facing these young new soldiers who had many scars (inevitable during training exercises). They were already at a disadvantage in every aspect and could only rely on their more skilled cooperation and tacit understanding with their comrades, and the experience they had gained from escaping death on the battlefield to barely avoid being beaten.

In this situation, the mental shock is greater than the physical contest.

The fanatical attack of the new troops and their desire to fight made these old soldiers a little overwhelmed. Although this was just an exercise and both sides exercised restraint, many people were frightened when they encountered such terrifying and aggressive young men who seemed to be here not for training but for a life-and-death fight. Their morale dropped sharply and some commanders even wondered whether the tribe was playing some kind of metaphysics on these new troops.

It is a daily routine to add buffs when a war begins, which means Myrmidia is not strong enough now.

In the end, the advance army was unable to hold on. The reserve army moved too early, while the momentum of the new army continued wave after wave as if it would never weaken. In fact, this time, Al even adjusted the strength of both sides to the same 3,000 to 3,000. The flank of the advance army was the first to waver, which eventually led to the collapse of the front line and the loss of the first exercise.

Soon, the unyielding vanguard was shocked and could not stop praising the progress of the new army. At the same time, they also said that they had underestimated the enemy and tried to have another match. Although many people said that fighting them felt like fighting against those red-skinned beastmen again, and that the feeling of standing in the front line and feeling like a ball of flaming blood wave was coming at you was hard to experience a second time, the exercise still started as usual.

Because the new army had proved that its basic skills in marching, reconnaissance, camping and garrisoning were up to par in the first exercise, they started the second exercise directly. The two sides found a plain and started to attack each other.

This time, because the basic situation had been seen in the first game, Al did not force a balance and released the members of the Blood Oath Brotherhood again. The Advance Legion also expressed the hope to see the full strength of the new army.

Then there is no more then.

It’s still the same method, the same process.

When the new army launched a charge shouting the names of the Blood Mother and the Throne, the advance corps' line was inevitably shaken on a large scale. As both sides attacked simultaneously, the advance corps' defensive advantage was wiped out. Unable to use long-range tactics or gun formations, the new army launched a frantic attack with swiftness, the kind of violent style of play where one for one was absolutely no loss, and if one was lost, two would be added up.

At the same time, there is the terrifying "Political Commissar Pastor" position, which is responsible for religious beliefs, middle and grassroots command, and morale.

After the Blood Oath Brotherhood was reintegrated into the new army, the new army's fighting spirit and strength were released more rapidly and longer lastingly, because all of them were fanatical followers of the Blood Mother. Even though Aiel specifically asked these warrior workers with special status not to launch attacks without authorization unless it was absolutely necessary - not to lead the charge without a shout of "Ura", there were always people who could not keep their sanity in the earth-shaking "Blood Sacrifice to the Blood Mother".

However, speaking of the exercise alone, the effect was significant. The advance corps might have felt that the intensity of the new army's attack was not as great as before, but the next second they heard a voice from the opposite camp saying "Follow me!" "Ul-Ra!" "For Al!!!" and were stunned by the sudden increase in intensity.

Some soldiers of the advance corps could not imagine that they had just knocked down a person who looked like an officer who rushed forward... In this case, shouldn't the morale of the other side be lowered? Why did they suddenly hear a few voices saying "The big brother fell!" "The pastor was beaten!", and then a group of people rushed to their faces like they were desperate, and they would rather take the beating than not save the "sacrificed" "political commissar brother" and bring him back.

It's just like being beaten up with the head covered, and when I take off the hood there's no one around, and my head is still dizzy and I feel powerless, painful, and confused.

Obviously, the result was not unexpected to Al after the rehearsal of the first exercise.

On the griffin's back, Al breathed a long sigh of relief. Ever since the last exercise that turned out to be very interesting - the Northern Incident - he had decided to send out troops, he had been feeling uneasy and unstable. There was even one time when he was standing behind the centaur girl, stepping on a stool, with his spear in the riding position, and was distracted during the sex, thinking about a key point in the rebellion plan. This made the centaur girl, who was in high spirits, very dissatisfied, and she squeezed the boy hard five or six times before she gave up.

I was also forced to grant myself two days to go out.

Now all the pent-up emotions can be released!

With such an army, why worry about the greenskins not being defeated? The world is not peaceful!

Come on, keep playing music and dancing! With such an operation, all that's left is AAA!

Leave it to the sons!

......

Of course, it’s not that dissipated.

The success of the new army made Ai'er very excited. Although it was only a force of 10,000 people, it was just like the mortal auxiliary army that had disappeared, integrated, or completed its own expansion and continued to expand its territory in the new platform of the tribe in another form. It was Ai'er's legion, a melting pot, and a spark.

No matter how strong the Horde's legions are, no matter how powerful the Beastmen are, when they stand on the side of the Estalia, humans will be happy, in awe, and afraid... When they are enemies, humans will be terrified and hate them... But there is no pride and enthusiasm of "This is our invincible army!"

And when an army composed of native Estalia completes its transformation from the inside out under the faith of the Four Mothers in a tribe ruled by El, abandons old dogmas and redundancies, and chooses to embark on a more glorious and effective... more bloody and eternally strife-filled championship road, the glory and powerful force that blooms will make countless Estalias fall for it. And when this army has sworn allegiance and subordination to El, it will also make many Estalias more accepting of the tribe as a regime with the label of "alien".

As long as "the tribe is not just made up of beastmen, there are also us Estalia!" "The Estalia were beaten so badly by the greenskins during the Kingdom and Myrmidia periods. If we believe in the Four Mothers and follow Lord El, we can fight north and south and be invincible to defend our homeland." "What an honor it is to be a soldier in such an army!" Such thoughts appeared in the minds of a little Estalia people, which was a huge gain for El's tribe.

When the Estalia people's impression of a powerful army completely changed to the invincible form of the tribe, even if they still missed the kingdom, goddess, and prince of the past in their hearts, it was just like the autonomy of the South today under the greenskin butcher's knife.

They were afraid of the greenskins, so they had to "endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens" and pretend to be submissive.

Because of the greenskins' military threat, even when the greenskin army is heading north, they still dare not rise up to resist.

When the time comes for Aiel to fight for his country...will they dare to rebel against the tribe again?

Back to the time when Aiur led his legion to attack, defeated the greenskins under the city of Weiling and saved the entire city.

"The greenskin's knife is fast, but my sword is not at all disadvantaged!"

Chapter 38: Lucius's Secret Mission

Once again, Lucius was awakened from his sleep by the noise.

Since accepting this mission, his sleep quality has always been very poor. He would be disturbed by the slightest movement. It was even worse when he was in the trenches of the Sacred Forest, with the greenskin army hundreds of meters away, ready to massacre the entire city and smash everything that could move. After changing shifts, he fell asleep and was woken up by his companions.

At that time, Lucius would prepare himself mentally every time before closing his eyes: "This may be the last time I sleep peacefully. If fate has already determined everyone's life and death, I hope I can die quietly in my dreams instead of opening my eyes and seeing an ugly green face."

Every time I wake up and take up my weapon before heading to the battlefield again, I feel grateful that I am alive again.

That experience brought a huge change to Lucius, because fighting side by side with a "Red Horn Leader", under the tribal legion system, the captain of a squad of eight people was called "Red Mane", three squads formed a squadron, and the squadron leader was "Red Horn", showed superhuman courage and strength compared to the average level of Estalia, and a little bit of luck. The next moment when Lucius was prepared to die, Aiel arrived with the main force of the tribe, teleported into the battlefield, attracted the attention of the greenskins, and made their generals choose to temporarily ignore the defenders who were huddled in a small urban area and struggling to survive.

After the war, Lucius was promoted to centurion and was received by El. El came with a group of people, riding a griffin, and personally awarded them medals.

He received a medal of "Defender of the Sacred Woodlands". If the tribe can really keep its promise, then with this medal alone, Lucius' wife and children can be fully supported by the tribe in the future.

When Al was setting up the intelligence department, the first people he thought of were the veterans who had made military achievements, were not afraid of death, and possessed some strength, skills, wisdom and luck.

The second son, Kael'thas, met with these people one by one and conveyed to them his intention to recruit them: "The tribe needs a group of capable, loyal and competent elite who have proven themselves reliable through merit in places other than the front battlefield" and "They will face considerable danger, but the tribe will do its best to ensure that they are provided with all the help it can."

More than half of the people agreed and expressed their willingness on the spot to join this organization, which, except for the name of "Tribal Kingdom Union" when it comes to external affairs, is actually the first intelligence department of the Estalia people to know about the existence of such a thing, except for people like the Blood Oath Brotherhood who have already fully joined the tribal camp. The rest were also a little shaken, hesitating between continuing to join the army, retiring and taking this job, and many of them expressed their willingness later.

Al's Keo, KGB.

From the inside to the outside, from personnel, resources, training and everything else, the tribe controls the entire process.

As for the union?

Ah, the tribe has united so many Estalia people, isn’t that a union?

The main persons in charge of this department are Misha, Kael'thas, and Sister Helen. Ultimately, all information will be reported to El. Kael'thas is the main person in charge, the Sister is responsible for recruiting and training personnel, and Misha mainly reports to El and... supervises the intelligence department to prevent those who have special powers and channels from taking advantage of these conveniences to do things that are harmful to the interests of the tribe.

Later, they considered splitting it into two organizations, one for external affairs and one for internal affairs, but Al would handle it personally regardless.

Because of some people's historical experience, he attaches great importance to this kind of intelligence and security work.

.........

There is no doubt that Lucius is one of those who are willing to go.
