The Origin of Arcane

　　 The first goal of Starbuck and Dickron is very clear-to gather the most slave gladiators in the shortest time.

easy to say, hard to do.

Not all slave gladiators are willing to be subordinate to others, especially some ambitious people. Along the way, they gathered many slave gladiators, but also encountered several waves of fish in troubled waters, and gathered many slave horns by virtue of their influence. The fighter, who has his own self-respect, is indifferent to Starbuck and Dickron.

　　 The two champion knights didn't even discuss it, like two wild humanoid tanks, rushing into them, directly smashing the heads of their generals.

　　 In such a situation where there are no more than a thousand troops, clamoring with the champion knights, especially the two champion knights, is simply seeking a dead end.

　　 Without the leader, those slave gladiators became a mess of sand again. It was only natural to join the two champion knights.

　　 They were originally put together improvised, mostly with the idea of ​​self-preservation in groups. They have no affection for the original general, and it doesn't make much difference who they follow.

　　 What's more, there are two famous champion knights opposite, and they are obviously more promising with them.

In the evening, Starbucks and Dirkron, who were divided into two groups, reunited again. The team they brought snowballed to 20,000 people. Following them, there were five generals, big and small. Number sixty.

　　 These people showed their outstanding organizational skills in the chaos. Before they met Starbuck and Dickron, some people had gathered around them, ranging from seven to eighty to two to three hundred.

　　 Compared to those unruly and rebellious people, they are all winking people. When they see Starbucks or Dickron, they will worship if you don’t say anything, and call them generals.

For such people, both Starbucks and Dickron will give the greatest attention. After all, what they are going to do is a huge thing, and there is no way to do it with just one or two people. These people have already shown their abilities and are ready to go. Of course, the backbone of the army must be more involved.

　　The people under them will still be led by them, and they will be reorganized when there is a chance in the future.

　　 The benefits of doing this are obvious. Even if the number of people has increased by hundreds of times, their management workload has not increased much.

　　 But it also buried a hidden danger, that is, being in groups.

Many people usually have a special sense of belonging to the first group they joined. If it was broken up at first, the whole led by Starbuck and Dickron would be their first group, but they did not do so. , Still let the original general lead.

　　 There are still small groups in such a large group. These little generals usually have their own selfishness. If there are good things or good things, they can naturally seek out their own small groups, which will further strengthen the cohesion of the small groups.

I can’t see anything in a short time, but the problem will become bigger as time goes by. The entire slave gladiator rebel army will become a huge rag-rags made up of colorful small groups, which are easy to tear if you are not careful. .

　　 Starbucks and Dickron are obviously not so far-sighted. To be more precise, even if they realize it, there is nothing they can do.

　　 After all, there is not so much time to waste for them right now.

"From the reaction of the city defense forces, even if Grand Duke Borg is not dead, he is still seriously injured. This is our perfect opportunity to take down the Faerun Castle in one go. The armaments and food stored in it are enough for us to use for half a year. At that time, our options will be much larger."

"The Faerun Castle has been in operation for many years, and there are nearly a thousand elite soldiers stationed in it. The city defense forces have already assembled. Once we are stuck in the castle, the city defense forces will attack from behind. The city defense army is fighting head-on? Although the equipment and training of the city defense army is far worse than that of the regular army, it is a hundred times stronger than our group that can’t even have the weapons."

"Don't look down on yourself so much. Although our composition is a bit more complicated and the conditions are a bit more difficult, we have an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, not to mention that we still have gladiators as the main force. , Arm yourself with their equipment, and then attack Faerun Castle."

"There is not so much time! If we delay one more day here, we will be in a dangerous situation. Once we collide with the regular army, even if our number is doubled, we will easily collapse. The most important thing for us now is not to climb the sky in one step. It’s looking for a stronghold for internal reorganization.”

"There will be no time for rectification. In a few days, the regular army led by the army will chase us like crazy dogs. Don't try to compete with the regular army. How many years of training and military expenditures have been spent to raise them. , Even if we have been reorganizing for a year and a half, we are not opponents of the other party."

"I don't deny the combat effectiveness of the gladiator brothers, but we have fought against the city defense forces before. The city defense forces of a squadron suppressed our hundreds of people and retreated steadily. At that time, there were many knight-level players among us. If we don’t come out, we should give full play to our greatest advantage."

"What is our biggest advantage? Number of people! Two adults just ascended the heights, and a city gathered nearly 20,000 people. It can be seen how unpopular the Grand Duke Borg has been for so many years. One hundred, and eighty. Let’s sweep the past one by one, and expand our military power tenfold. There is absolutely no problem."

　　 "When we are sitting on an army of hundreds of thousands, even if the regular army led by the military meets us, we have to retreat. When that happens, we will consider taking root and reorganizing the elite."

　　 "If we really do what you say, don't we become rogues?"

"What happened to the gangsters? As long as we can achieve the final success, we still need to care about the reputation? Anyway, in the eyes of those noble lords, we are originally worthless slaves and rioters! If we can win, who will care? In the process, we can just say what we want. If it fails, what do you expect those noble lords to say in history?"

　　 "We can't care about our reputation at all. We still need more people to join us. If we are rumoured everywhere, what would those who don't know think? And why would they take the initiative to join us?"

　　 "Rogue representatives have no foundation. Once they fail, there will be no chance to come back again. They must be carefully considered."

"If you don’t be a rogue, don’t you want to be a lord? Even if you are given a fortress, are you sure you can defend from the large-scale counterattack of the entire army leader? Can't hold it, isn't it a hundred? China is our biggest way out."

　　 Starbucks and Dickron were all together, occupying the private residence of a nobleman.

　　 The original owner didn't know whether he had escaped or was unfortunately killed. When they settled in, they looked like they were looted by thieves, and none of them was gasping.

The hall became a temporary council room. Except for Starbucks and Dickron, and a few generals with more than 300 troops in their hands, they could only stand upright, but the temporary team was not so particular. .

　　 One by one, they got red face and talked about their future.

Their origin determines how they view the world. Most of them are slave gladiators. They grew up in slave training camps. They don’t know a big character. Ninety percent of their lives are on the road to training and training. Part of the ability to gather a bunch of people is by force, not wisdom.

　　 This part of the people just counted up the number of people, and when they entered the temporary meeting room, they became dumb, and at most they echoed some people's remarks.

　　 It is the people who have been fortunate enough to be exposed to the outside world in large numbers. Although they may not be so smart, they have a certain overall view.

　　 At the end of the fight, two views prevailed.

　　 One is to take advantage of the army's prosperity, and the regular army led by the army has no time to react, and defeats the city defense army of Solo City in one fell swoop, taking the opportunity to take down Faerun Castle.

The reason is very good. The Faerun Castle is the root of the Faerun family. It has been in business for many years and has accumulated a lot of materials and wealth. Once it is taken down, the entire team can be equipped, and the entire city of Solo is under their rule. Next, take advantage of the situation to expand to the periphery, and it will take less than a month or two to be able to grow up.

　　 There are many people who support this approach, especially those generals who were born as gangsters. They followed the riot not for oppression and justice, but purely for money.

In their eyes, Faerun Castle is the biggest treasure cave. As long as they fall here and make a fortune, they don’t care about the success or failure of the Slave Gladiator Rebels. The success is the best. They will follow the prosperity and wealth. If they fail, they will also have a fortune to squeeze the bottom of the box, giving them a chance to change and start again.

　　 Most people who oppose it are those who are more knowledgeable and look at the problem from a long-term perspective.

　　 They think the first method is terrible. If nothing else, it’s still a question whether they can chew the hard bones of Faerun Castle.

　　 The Faerun family has been operating the Faerun Castle for hundreds of years. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and everyone with a discerning eye can see it.

A long and narrow mountain road limits their number advantage. No more than one thousand troops will be put into the siege each time. The number of people is gathered together to deliver food to the catapult and ballista on the city head. There is no number of people. Advantage, how difficult it is to conquer a well-prepared castle.

What's more, not all of the 20,000 people they are sitting on are slave gladiators. They can account for at most one-fifth of them. The rest are the slaves of Solo City and the bottom class who are not satisfied with their lives. Some of the people are gangsters who want to take advantage of the opportunity to catch them, and some are even small citizens who are trapped in.

　　 There are both men and women of all ages, and as many as possible there are as many as possible. The combat effectiveness can be imagined.

These people tend to be rogues and develop themselves in sports. The slave gladiators and slaves led by the Manyu army are their best sources of troops. They will develop and grow in the snowball, and finally become a torrent, bringing the entire Manyu The army leader was overwhelmed.

　　 But the disadvantages of doing so are also obvious. There is no logistical supply, and they rely entirely on looting along the way. Once they are frustrated in attacking a certain city castle, they will face the dilemma of a shortage of logistical supplies. Over time, it is inevitable that they will fall apart.

　　 As the scale becomes larger, the pressure on logistical supplies is also increasing. When the entire Manyu army is unstoppable, where should they go.

　　 Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and no one can persuade anyone, so they can only kick the ball to Starbuck and Dickron.

　　 "Let's ask the two generals to decide. No matter what decision they make, I will obey it unconditionally."

　　 "Yes, let's listen to the opinions of the two generals. After all, the uprising was initiated by them. It is impossible for them not to have any preparations?"

　　 "I also firmly support the decision of the two generals."

Everyone’s eyes fell on Starbuck and Dickron again, and Dickron’s eyes fell on Starbucks. The other party was the initiator of this incident. He just passively brought it in, even if there was something. The latter move is also from him.

　　 What can I do?

　　 Starbucks spit in his heart for a while. Before that, although he was ambitious and believed that the success rate was high, he estimated that it would be great to draw a team of three to five thousand people.

　　 In that situation, they have no second way to go. They can escape the counterattack of the city defense army and become a rogue, even if they succeed.

　　Then they should follow the second situation, gaining more supplies and troops through siege and battlefields, and make them bigger by bit.

　　 But I didn't expect the city defense army of Solo City to be so inaction. After only one day of hard work, he obtained the expected result of one month. Although it was a good thing, he was caught off guard.

　　 More than 20,000 people represent 20,000 mouths. If they are handled well, they are their own soldiers. If they are handled well, they are their own enemies. If they are hungry, they will eat him first.

　　 But Starbucks knows very well that he must never show up at this moment, otherwise his reputation will be fatally hit.

　　 "Both methods have a bit of truth~www.readwn.com~ but neither is comprehensive nor desirable. We just got together and are not suitable for a tough battle. If we win, our morale will increase, but if we fail, it will easily fall apart!"

　　 Starbucks came from an aristocratic family. He has received relatively systematic education and learning since he was a child. He has a strategic vision that is higher than that of everyone present, and he sees things in a deeper level.

　　 "The most important thing for us now is to obtain the first supply of munitions. Only when we have enough munitions can we advance and attack, and retreat and escape."

　　 Starbucks obviously also has aristocratic vices. Although it is reasonable and well-founded, it has not been truly confirmed, and both sides are not guilty, so that they can listen repeatedly.

"General Starbucks deserves to be of a jazz origin, and his consideration is more thorough than us. We really should build up enough self-confidence to make things easier first and then build up enough self-confidence. The city of Solo is so big, those greedy nobles say more and less. Quite a few, why should we just stare at the Faerun Castle? Just find a few, and the food and money found will be enough for us to spend a few months."

　　 "Yes, yes, I know where there is a granary. It is a hereditary baron who owns a fief. The grain stored in it is tens of thousands of bags in order to hoard supplies and wait until the beginning of the spring food shortage to make a lot of money."

　　 "I know of a blacksmith's shop inherited from the Viscount, which should have stocked a lot of weapons, enough for us to equip a centurion team."

"I know……"

"I know……"

　　 Starbuck's words undoubtedly opened another window, mobilizing everyone's enthusiasm. Many people couldn't wait to share the information they had, including those that had been in the shape of a saw-mouthed gourd.

　　 Obviously before this, they had their own plan, but after meeting Starbuck and Dickron, the plan was stranded.
