Monarch of Evernight: Twenty-eight Reorganization
bsp;There is no suspense in this battle. Regardless of strength or firepower, Dark Fire has an absolute advantage.
There are only a few hundred guards in the town, and the mayor and guard captain are only fourth- and fifth-level soldiers, plus several outsiders of fifth-level and above. But Darkfire didn't seem to be interested in the strangers there at all, and had no intention of negotiating with Solid Stone Ridge. After the troops arrived, there was immediately a heavy artillery attack.
The battle ended in less than an hour. Most of the town gates and walls were destroyed, the mayor's mansion was razed to the ground, and all the resisters were killed on the spot without leaving any prisoners. Duan Hao then conducted a large-scale search throughout the town, captured all the relatives of the mayor and the guard captain, and sold them directly to the slave traders accompanying the army.
Such ruthless thunderous tactics shocked all the small towns that were still wavering. They sent envoys one after another to express their submission to Qianye. At this point, the entire Black Current Defense Zone has been completely pacified by dark fire, at least in name.
Of course, this kind of submission is like a wall grass. Once the defense zone changes its owner, they will again fall to the new strong ones, but this is the way to survive in the Evernight Continent. Qianye doesn't need their loyalty, he just needs them to know the current situation and be obedient enough when he controls this area.
On the third day after the battle, Qianye finally basically controlled the situation in the Blackstream City defense zone, and there was no longer any public opposition from anywhere. The surviving officers of the 7th Division were all gathered at Dark Fire's base, while the soldiers were guarded in three military camps.
As soon as the situation was settled, Qianye summoned all the officers of the original 7th Division and began the formal reorganization.
The gathering place is in a machinery warehouse of several hundred square meters, which was originally a place where two heavy wheel guns were parked.
The long steel rails on the top of the warehouse hang down thick lifting chains, while the entire side of the warehouse is raised by half a meter and is equipped with a new steam wheel rail. These are auxiliary facilities for the maintenance of heavy machinery, but the dispatch divisions of the expeditionary force stationed in the city rarely build such expensive maintenance equipment.
Now, more than two hundred people are crowded into this not-so-small space. When Qianye walked into the door and jumped onto the high platform on one side, there was silence below.
Except for the dozen or so officers held in the prison who still refuse to surrender, all the officers of the 7th Division and above are here. Including Zhu Wuya, there are four colonels, 14 lieutenant colonels and more than 30 majors, and the remaining more than 100 are lieutenants. In other words, there are about two hundred warriors of level two or above gathered here, including three level eight experts and one level nine expert.
There is nothing outstanding about the three eighth-level colonels. They are all in their forties. Their Force power is deeper than the standard level, but they have almost reached the peak of their cultivation, and there is no possibility of going further.
As for Zhu Wuya, a level nine sniper already has a transcendent status in the army. He has also awakened danger perception and primary force vision, two rare abilities that are very suitable for a sniper. Therefore, no matter who controls the 7th Division, Zhu Wuya has always been able to maintain his position, and he is also an important tactical core on the battlefield. It's a pity that when he met Qianye this time, he encountered a natural enemy and had no room for improvement.
On the whole, the strength of these officers present alone is greater than that of Dark Fire. However, the equipment of the 7th Division was inferior to that of the Dark Fire, especially the firepower of heavy weapons. Moreover, due to Wei Bainian's plan, it was caught off guard. Before even half of its combat power could be exerted, it was led by Qianye. Dark fire is easy to obtain.
At this time, all officers of the 7th Division on the site were free to move, that is, they had not been injected with Force inhibitors or put on Force shackles. Except for some officers who had been wounded in previous battles, the rest were intact. On the Dark Fire side, there were only three groups of soldiers guarding the door and both sides, but the officers made no move.
They had seen the combat power of the Dark Fire Special Team two days ago. At that time, Song Hu was counting the number of officers on the roster of the Seventh Division. When he found a sixth-level soldier who was not on the roster but was wearing the uniform of a major, that man and a colonel suddenly attacked.
Song Hu was only at level six, and the two dark fire warriors he brought with him were only at level five and six, but they didn't even call the snipers outside the door and directly killed people on the spot.
The whole process only lasted a few minutes, and the other officers didn't even have time to mentally debate whether they should resist together. This result is not only the suppression of Dark Fire's personal equipment, but also the tacit coordination of their combined attacks, clearly showing that Dark Fire's combat effectiveness far exceeds that of ordinary mercenary groups.
When the officers from the Sishui Base Regiment Headquarters also came over and told the news that they had been forced to surrender by the Dark Fire Captain alone, most of the officers could no longer think of resisting.
Qianye glanced at the crowd one by one and finally said: "I think you all already know the cause of this battle."
As soon as these words came out, many officers looked unnatural, especially the school officers who had been contacted by Dong Qifeng's agents. Song Hu had already informed the officers of the Seventh Division about the whole incident when he was counting the prisoners of war.
This is also a kind of psychological attack tactic. Whether Dark Fire is resisting tyranny or wanting to rebel, the two have completely different meanings.
Those veterans tempered in the flames of war are certainly bloody, but we also have to look at what they are fighting for. At least for most middle- and lower-level officers who have no close interests, if a new general wants to reorganize a mercenary group for no reason, only to be reorganized in turn, it is definitely considered incompetent and causing trouble.
No warrior wants to encounter a stupid and incompetent commander.
Qianye looked at everyone's expressions and continued: "Since Anhuo has won this battle, I have also obtained the power to reorganize the seventh division. This is Yongye's rule. If you are willing to join Anhuo, Fire, then the salary will remain unchanged and will increase according to military merit in the future."
This promise surprised most of the officers. Even the resources of a few tens of thousands of mercenary groups on the Evernight Continent are incomparable to the expeditionary force. The strength of the dark fire equipment has exceeded their expectations. Being able to pay the same salary, doesn't it mean that the strength of Dark Fire is comparable to that of a division of the Expeditionary Force?
"Some of you may want to return to the Expeditionary Force sequence, so you are looking forward to General Dong's counterattack. However, following Dong Qifeng is not the only way to enter the Expeditionary Force sequence. Dark Fire can also be used."
Qianye's words were the bombshell. All the officers in the audience were shocked and moved. Even Zhu Wuya, who had already fought a battle with Dark Fire, was a little stunned.
Expeditionary army numbers are not static. In fact, a number rises and disappears much faster than the regular army of the empire. In the Eternal Night War that just passed, several divisions were disbanded due to the death of their commanders and the loss of more than half of their soldiers.
However, every number has a garrisoned defense area. Qianye actually wanted to establish his own number, which meant driving Dong Qifeng completely out of this defense zone. To accomplish this, the strength of your connections is indispensable.
Qianye took in everyone's reactions and said: "No matter what little thoughts you have, I don't mind. But at least for now, you have to help me complete the reorganization of the 7th Division. In this process, if there is Anyone who dares to make any small move will be killed without mercy! Just disband."
The officers dispersed with deep thoughts.
In the next time, the entire 7th Division will be disbanded and reorganized with Dark Fire. These surrendered officers were appointed in batches, but most of them played deputy roles. According to Song Hu, at least until they have fought a hard battle with the incoming expeditionary forces, these officers can be safely appointed.
Fortunately, most of the local units of the Expeditionary Force are private armies, especially the middle and lower-level officers. In the final analysis, it is just a profession. It is essentially no different from hunters and mercenaries. They just trade their lives for salary. The difference may be that the expeditionary force has greater power, more stable status, and more guaranteed benefits.
As long as Dark Fire can remain standing, it will gradually gain a sense of belonging among the warriors. The various forces on the Evernight Continent are complex and changeable, and there is no such thing as eternal loyalty. The common enemy of the human race is the dark race. In addition, even the Great Qin Empire is just a distant symbol of power.
Qianye watched the officers walking out one after another and reviewed his plan in his mind again. He wanted to use Dark Fire as the skeleton and fill it with the disorganized soldiers of the 7th Division, so that a combat-effective team could be formed in a short period of time.
The top priority is to repel possible interference from the expeditionary force. Although Song Zining said that he could handle the upper echelons of the expeditionary force, it was always good to be more prepared for this kind of thing.
After repelling the intervention forces of the expeditionary force, Qianye can officially move westward and expand his territory.
Black Current City is a place of the Fourth War. Regardless of location, resources are average and low. In the past, a large amount of income came from gray transactions. It can carry the 7th Division of the Expeditionary Force, but it cannot hold Qianye's plans and dreams.
Only heading west, the vast land and unlimited resources are the cornerstone of the future.
At the expeditionary force headquarters, the airship field was busy.
Several military off-road vehicles came quickly. When the soldiers guarding the airship field saw the expeditionary force emblem on the off-road vehicle with a gold star attached to it, they immediately stood up straight, stood at attention and saluted with a snap, and said loudly: " Hello General! ”
The window of the off-road vehicle was lowered, revealing a face that was obviously dotted with fat. The two eyeballs were very conspicuous. He was quite satisfied with the sentry's attitude and raised his hand to his forehead as a salute in return. Then he leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, and thought of something, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The team of off-road vehicles passed many waiting vehicles and drove directly into the airship field and towards a landing pad.
This was an obvious queue-jumping act, but when those waiting vehicles and passengers saw the general logo on the off-road vehicle, no one dared to say anything. Privilege is everywhere, especially in a place like Evernight that is never peaceful.
The cross-country convoy drove to the airship and then stopped. A beautiful adjutant with dazzling long legs jumped out of the front seat. She opened the rear door and said in a cold voice: "General, we have arrived."
The square-headed and big-eared general glanced outside the car, and then moved his fat body out of the car. His movements were actually quite flexible. As he passed by the beautiful adjutant, the general's left hand quietly squeezed her **** hard. The beautiful adjutant had a frosty face and stabbed his fat hand with her backhand.
The force of this blow was quite severe, but the general remained calm, as if the hand was not his own. The general's physical strength is far superior to that of ordinary people, so it is just right to use it here.
