However, Grazdan’s proposal was also opposed by some good people.
A tall and thin benefactor frowned and said: “The north is the only area that has not been affected so far. Once we extract the slave soldiers there, those slaves may flee, and even those escaped slaves may trigger riots in the north. And thus plunged the North into chaos.”
The meeting fell into a stalemate for a while, everyone was silent, and the atmosphere became extremely depressed.
At this moment, the patriarch of the Aiel family stood up and said: “I have a proposal. Since no one is willing to send out the Unsullied, then send out the two thousand slave soldiers who serve as the defense of Astapor. It is very easy to integrate the slave soldiers in the east and south to form an army of 5,000 people. As for the city defense of Astapor, I still have 2,500 Unsullied people who can take over. . But from now on, every good lord will gather the Unsullied in the city to prevent accidents. You can also see that this slave uprising is unusual, and I suspect that other city-states are involved.”
This suggestion made everyone think deeply. After a while, most of the good people nodded in agreement.
A benefactor said: “This is a good method. It can not only ensure the safety of Astapor, but also allow us to have enough troops to suppress the escaped slaves.”
Krazny Monacroz also nodded and said: “Okay, let’s follow this method. Then, we still need a general to lead these soldiers. I recommend my family…”
Grazdan Moulho immediately interrupted the other party and said loudly: “I recommend my nephew Molizdan Moulho. He led troops to suppress the riots in the Worm River five years ago. He has enough experience. I I believe he can bring us victory.”
Upon seeing this, the good people agreed to Grazdan’s proposal. They were already disappointed with Krazny’s governance.
In the end, all the benefactors voted under Krazny’s cold expression and decided to let Morizdan lead the army to set off two days later.
As the Lord’s Meeting ended, Gavin also received a report from Jalal immediately.
He had previously supported seven or eight groups of bandits and escaped slaves, but only four groups have successfully established themselves today.
Despite the large number of these rebels, less than one-fifth of them can participate in the battle.
Most of the serfs were so weak from years of hard work that they were unable to fight.
A few male slaves have not received any training, and their early success is only based on enthusiasm and surprise.
If the good lords really react, the rebel army will soon be wiped out.
Now the most powerful of the four rebel armies is Kyle, who was born as a runaway slave. He has nearly 5,000 fighting men.
The other three rebel armies are all bandits, and their strength is about the same. Each side can fight about 3,000 people.
Gavin knew very well that as Morizdan led his army out of the city and the defeated troops gathered one after another, the size of the counter-rebellion army was likely to reach 5,000 people, and the slave soldiers were all trained and equipped with armor.
This is undoubtedly a huge threat to the rebels outside the city who are currently loose.
And with the rise of the rebels, Gavin’s control over them has long declined.
The self-confidence of the rebels who captured the city became more and more inflated. It was only the constant intimidation of the Blood Dragon Guards and the temptation of supplies that allowed them to temporarily target the Good Lord.
Without this key factor, these rabble might have started fighting long ago.
Now facing the menacing army of slave soldiers, if you want to defeat the opponent, you must integrate this force.
Gavin made a quick decision and ordered someone to send a message to Kairos, informing him of Astapor’s situation and asking him to summon all the rebel leaders.
Gavin decided to meet with the senior leaders of the rebel army. The fruits they planted were ripe and ready to be picked and tasted.
Two days later, in a spacious but somewhat crude tent, the leaders of the four rebel armies gathered together.
The place is filled with the smell of sweat and dust, and the atmosphere seems pleasant but is actually chaotic.
Not long ago, three rebel armies with bandit origins joined forces to break through Shahen Town. In addition to plundering countless people and food, they also gained a lot of wealth. In the past few days, they had used exquisite glasses, put on silk clothes, and even moved into the luxurious mansion where the other party once lived with their arms around the good master’s concubine.
Knowing that Kairos had gathered them here made them a little excited, because every time they achieved certain results, the other party would reward them with a large amount of materials.
Although they no longer value these materials so much, there is no reason to want to give things away for free, and there is no telling what actions will be taken next. They have already deeply realized the benefits of attacking towns.
Kyle, who was sitting in the banquet, looked at the others with disgust.
They used to be well-known bandits in the area, plundering passing caravans wantonly, and even enslaving others like good masters. Moreover, Kyle heard that whenever they conquered a village, they would burn, kill, and loot without hesitation. The liberated slaves would be forced into the army regardless of whether they wanted to or not. They never cared about the life and death of the slaves during the battle, and often even used them as bait to attract good masters. of minions.
If it weren’t for the fact that he could not overthrow the rule of the Good Lord by himself and needed their help, Kyle would have been unable to resist drawing his sword and slashing them.
Gavin walked into the camp under the guidance of Kairos, and saw countless rebel soldiers lying or sitting. They were in different shapes. Some were former escaped slaves, with ragged clothes and eyes still full of fear and anger of being enslaved for a long time; some were bandits, with fierce faces and looted property on their bodies.
The whole camp seemed chaotic, and the guards outside the tent were also noisy, whispering to each other, with no military discipline at all.
After a simple glance, Gavin had a preliminary understanding of these mobs.
He waved his hand to signal to enter the tent and no longer pay attention to the chaotic scene.
When everyone in the tent saw Gavin entering the tent and Kairos standing beside him, especially seeing the blood dragon guards, everyone couldn’t help but shut up, and the chaotic tent finally quieted down.
They have been guessing who the person who helped them with supplies was. Now seeing Gavin, several leaders began to exchange glances and had guesses in their hearts. Obviously, this is the real owner.
Gavin did not introduce himself, but walked directly to the main seat and sat down. Then Kairos took the initiative to stand up and said to everyone: “Everyone, I gathered you here today because the rebels are now facing a serious crisis.”
