Wings of Destruction
Chapter 59
There are many injustices and corruption in hadilado, and the poor have become sheep slaughtered by the nobles. Gladwell thought for a long time. He knew that if he wanted to really make the poor live a good life, he had to rely on his sword and army.
Only your strength is strong, what you say will have weight!
It takes courage and determination to resist violence.
After a night''s deliberation, Gladwell decided to ask the camp leader for help. The next day, Gladwell and Tony went to the leader''s tent.
Inside the tent, a strong man in a black vest was reading a book. The man''s muscles are clearly visible and his body proportion is perfect.
Seeing Gladwell and them coming, the man put down his book.
"What can I do for you?"
"Chief, we really want to talk to you."
"Oh" the strong man showed a trace of interest in Gladwell. At least he was willing to listen to Gladwell finish.
"First of all, I have to thank the leader for taking us in. Second, I just want to say that I have a way to make our refugee camp stronger."
"What did you do, young man?"
"I was a Mercenary Captain."
"What can you do to greatly increase the strength of our camp?"
"Rob the military transport team."
"What? You''re too brave!"
"High risk also means high return." Gladwell told the strong man some successful examples in history.
"This..." the man felt his beard and thought
"You''re asking us to strike a stone with an egg. Besides, how can I believe you? You''ve only been here for more than half a month." the man said after a while
"Adults can''t trust me, but you have to trust your men. Which of them is not bullied and tortured by those nobles. I think you set up such a camp to benefit one people. Since you are asking for orders for the people, why don''t you benefit more people?"
The man began to look at the young man in front of him. He pulled out his sword on the table.
"This will kill many people, but I''m willing to try in order to make more people live well. Young man, can you give me some better suggestions?"
"Yes, I have some more specific plans."
"Please speak." the leader''s attitude has obviously become much better, even a little friendly.
Gladwell talked to the leader all afternoon, during which Tony stayed with Gladwell.
The next day, the originally peaceful valley began to become lively. All those who could carry weapons in the camp were called to chief Maureen to assemble.
In the autumn wind of Wilson forest, there is a faint fragrance of soil without any coolness.
The leader Maureen stood on a high platform and looked at the poor people who trusted him.
"Brothers and sisters, today I have gathered you all together to announce two things. The first thing is that the four behind me will officially become members of our refugee camp." Maureen introduced grawell to the audience.
"The second thing is that we will be completely at odds with the Germain aristocrats in the future. We will not hide in the valley as before. We will give these Germain aristocrats who eat people and don''t spit bones a heavy blow. The glory of our Wilson will shine on every piece of land in Northland."
When Maureen announced the second thing, the people at the bottom were in an uproar. People talked about it one after another. Some expressed their happy approval, some hesitated, and some firmly opposed it.
Looking at the attitude of the people below, Maureen''s attitude seemed very firm.
In fact, most people are hesitant because they are afraid and dare not resist the power of violence. After the meeting, Maureen assigned a responsible post to the people below.
Gladwell followed Maureen to the temporary command tent.
"Granville, you see, although my people agree to resist the imperial tyranny, they are not united. There will be few people who will really follow us." Maureen and Granville sat down facing the table
"Lord Maureen, those people hesitate because they are afraid that their lives will be in danger if we fail. What we need most now is a victory, so our first war is very important. In this war, we should let the people who join us have enough confidence and spread our reputation of Wilson."
"I also know that our first battle is very important, but where should we start?"
"Lord Maureen, I can inquire at Haiya Castle if there is any imperial transport team passing by recently, and bring my mercenary team to the valley."
"Granville, I believe you." Maureen patted Granville on the shoulder
Leaving Maureen''s tent, Gladwell finds Tony. After telling Tony the specific plan, they simply packed up.
Then they went out of the refugee camp and rushed to the periphery of Haiya castle.
Outside the city, there is still a continuous camp. Looking around, there are almost mercenary tents.
"It''s the regular Imperial Army, sir," Tony whispered to Gladwell
"It seems that they have stepped up their management outside the city. We have to be careful."
Gladwell pulled down his black hat and lowered his head slightly to avoid the regular Imperial Army patrolling.
When they arrived at the mercenary camp outside the city, grawell and Tony went into the tent.
Due to Gladwell''s departure, the mercenaries have gone a lot, leaving only a team of about 40 people.
These forty people have a good relationship with Gladwell and are very loyal. Among them was a middle-aged uncle named heybel. Heybel was usually responsible for the food of the remaining people and for the custody of the property left by grawell. When Gladwell saw that hebble presented the ancestral sword with both hands, he couldn''t help feeling a little excited.
"Thank you so much, herb."
"What adults say is too outspoken. I''m such a helpless middle-aged man. How could I live without the employment of adults?"
"Well, you''ll follow me later. I''ll pay you double. By the way, have you heard about the military recently?"
"Sir, I heard that a batch of important goods will be transported to Haiya Fort recently. It is estimated that they will arrive in two days."
"OK, I see. You send orders and we''ll leave here in the dark."
"Yes, my Lord."
Then grawell handed the black eagle flag to Tony.
"Take it, it will be the soul of our team"
"Don''t worry, my Lord."
