Chapter 79 79. Killing and C... ahem, killing and capturing
"I seemed to see a combination of Tang Xuanzong and Han Ling Emperor in their later years."
Emperor David's operation was to completely decentralize the power of the central government.
How easy it is to put it down and want to take it back...
There’s no need to take it, you basically can’t get it back.
However, this kind of thing about the entire dynasty is not something that Mo Hao and other students need to consider now.
Now he wants to know more information about those wolf soldiers.
The student explained, "Those wolf soldiers are the Wind Wolf tribe under the command of Mu Xiong Ba in Yuntang Prefecture. Most of the demon tribes live in tribal groups, and the strong tribes rule and even enslave the weak tribes."
"The leader of the Wind Wolf tribe died of a sudden illness. He left behind three sons and two daughters. Now they are leading their own troops to fight against others."
A brief explanation of the Xuanwu Sect inheritance law being carried out by the Wind Wolf Department also made the other students somewhat at ease.
They know how strong the wolf soldiers in the camp are. If the Wind Wolf Department leads their troops, they will face a very troublesome situation. It is not impossible to even directly fail and exit the Taixu Realm.
After all, it was Mo Hao who broke through the camp alone, and he had nothing to do with these students.
Once faced with the revenge of the Wind Wolf Department, Mo Hao may be able to survive unharmed, but students like them who are not strong enough will only get a not so good score in the college entrance examination.
Mo Hao was not very curious about the Wind Wolf Department. He looked around and asked, "Did Li Zheng tell you where there are still people nearby?"
Quxi Village needs population, and the time-consuming approach of slowly attracting others to settle here is obviously not suitable for him. That should be a plan that people who are good at governance should consider.
For Mo Hao, the most direct method should be to rob the population.
Whether it is used to upgrade the village level or to recruit soldiers with dragon flags, population is the top priority.
"There is almost no one nearby. All the survivors from the surrounding villages are with us. The rest of the population should have been kidnapped by the Wind Wolf Division."
The student then added, "The largest city nearby is Bluestone City, which is the territory designated by Xiong Ba for the Wind Wolf Tribe. Within this range, the Wind Wolf Tribe can use everything to feed and strengthen itself."
"That is to say... the Wind Wolf Division has swept through the surrounding area and left no population for us?"
"Maybe there are still some bandits left in some remote places."
With the Fenglang tribe's previous ferocity in robbing the strong men, even if they capture all the bandits around them alive, they may not be able to gather enough numbers to turn Quxi Village into a county.
"You said..." Mo Hao looked at the students around him and made a suggestion, "We will hunt down the Wind Wolf Tribe and capture them as a population. Is this plan feasible?"
feasibility?
Of course there is.
But the price is that except for Mo Hao himself, no more than two of the empire's recruits and other students will survive.
While others were thinking about how to politely and politely reject Mo Hao's suggestion, which was no different from seeking death, a student who was acting as a scout ran back.
He ran very fast, as if something terrifying was chasing him behind him.
"Wolf... wolf cavalry!" The student was out of breath and apparently came back at full sprint speed to report, "Fifteen miles away, there are a hundred cavalry riding giant wolves, from the Wind Wolf Department. The wolf soldiers are clearing the way for them."
Wolf cavalry, the unique cavalry of the Wind Wolf tribe, because ordinary horses cannot withstand the size and momentum of the demon clan.
Only some species that have been cultivated by various tribes for a long time can be used as mounts, and some tribes even do not even have cavalry.
For example, Yuntang Prefecture's Shepherd Bear Ba, as an Earth-wrathed Bear Demon Clan, is so huge that it is almost impossible to find a mount that can carry his weight. But the soldiers of the Earth Fury Bear were all wearing heavy armor and swept across the heavy infantry on the battlefield.
The Earth Fury heavy soldiers are armed with heavy weapons, and ordinary soldiers will be injured if they touch them, and they will die if they touch them.
If it weren't for the small number of tribes and the fact that they could only rely on other tribes under them to manage Yuntang Prefecture, Xiong Ba might have taken action against other prefectures earlier.
The emperor of the Davidic Dynasty granted and recognized the legal status of the demon clan, and even directly named several powerful tribes as state pastors in exchange for their support.
As time went by, the patriarchs of these tribes inevitably developed ambitions.
The ambition called [Desire for Power].
David's court, or rather the human government, began to falter the moment a few powerful demon clans came to the court.
Everyone is waiting for the moment when this regime loses concern for its operation and falls to the ground.
At that moment, whether human or demon, David's court would be dismembered and eaten.
Then all humans or demons will attack and fight each other in the name of David's orthodoxy, and finally a ruler will be determined in the chaos.
Xiong Ba's ambition was too far away for the people of Quxi Village, and what Mo Hao valued more at this time was the wolf cavalry.
The wolf cavalry's mount is a giant wolf the size of a horse. It has sharp teeth and claws that can easily tear apart small and medium-sized living creatures.
Those giant wolves can also lead the wolf cavalry to jump and climb up the city wall.
If we want to talk about a weakness, it is that the cavalry is carried on the waist. The physical loss caused by the action is huge, and it cannot run for a long time.
Even in terms of endurance, it may be weaker than horses.
"Everyone, find a place to hide yourself, and come back when I give the signal!"
Without any arrangement or hesitation, after letting the other students and the imperial recruits hide, Mo Hao ran towards the place where the wolf cavalry was.
The strength of the wolf cavalry and the large number of opponents means that after defeating this group of troops, the Wind Wolf Department may send more troops...
All these worries disappeared from Mo Hao's mind at this time, and it could even be said that there had never been any similar worries from the beginning.
His idea at this moment was simple, crude and direct: try to kill this army, increase the vitality of the dead ones, and go back to see if the surviving prisoners can be recruited, and not continue to kill them.
Isn’t the so-called riding and slashing just killing and recruiting?
Whether it is recruiting with money, using materials, or recruiting by force after being captured, the difference is not very big.
With this thought, Mo Hao's eyes turned scarlet at some point.
Running wildly on the ground, Mo Hao felt extremely relaxed all over his body. The heat he had been searching for for a long time but found nothing was released from his body at this moment.
The smoke and dust were rolled up, and the billowing smoke dragon lingered behind him for a long time, while also glowing with a layer of violent and bloodthirsty red.
As red as blood, it brought boundless killing intent.
Thanks to [Silent Nighty] for the reward.
