Chapter 114 Weaknesses
1080 Universe, Elia City State.
[Ding! The Xicheng Gate of Elia City State, occupied by the civilian uprising army!]
[Ding! The residential area of the Xicheng City-state of Elia, occupied by civilian uprising troops!]
[Ding! Elia City-state trade market, occupied by civilian uprising troops!]
[Ding! Central Speech Square of Elia City-State, occupied by civilian uprising troops!]
…………
The civilian uprising army spread rapidly like a prairie fire...
Zeno led some soldiers to retreat to the fortress on the south side and firmly guarded the city gate.
On the southern side of the Elia city-state, there is a fortress used to prevent foreign invasions. There are walls around the top of the mountain, mainly the Spartans and their Peloponnese alliance.
…………
This is the most important and comprehensive military building in the city-state of Elia.
The fortress on the south side is located on a small isolated hill, with limestone exposed on the top of the mountain, and the terrain is low in the west and high in the east, more than 70 meters higher than the surrounding flat ground.
This hill is steep, and only the mountain on the west side is relatively slow. Therefore, the west side becomes a passage to enter the fortress. From the slope on the west side, it climbs up the steps and faces the fortress gate.
[Ding! The fortress on the south side of Elia City, occupied by the consul's defenders!]
………………………………
In the aristocratic area on the north side of the Elia city-state, mercenaries from various families gathered and guarded the courtyard houses of each family.
The largest of the Facaron family is inside the courtyard.
This kind of aristocratic courtyard design in the city was originally designed to prevent thieves, robbers, and Gentiles.
By the time the fortifications of the city-state were perfected, the main defense targets of these aristocratic courtyards became debt slaves and civilian riots...
The idea is to use stone trench, fence, fence and earthen walls to connect the original houses to form a family settlement-style defense system, and finally form a small fortification area independent of the city.
…………
Facaron asked his sons to command newly recruited mercenaries to strengthen the defense of the courtyard and the walls.
After Aubrice was scalped by the "skinned devil", these mercenaries scattered, some chose to stay, some chose to join other mercenaries, and some became pirates...
Now this mercenary group has greatly weakened its strength compared to the period when Aubres was managed.
…………
"These damn untold pariahs are indeed untrustworthy. Where can we attack first?"
The eldest son Staron asked his father Facaron.
"Occurrence? Do you want to help the consul who betrays the glory of bloodlines!"
Fakaron's youngest son Duro, struggling to tidy up his armor and shouted excitedly.
"Can we let those civilians be tyrants! We can kill them together!"
Staron said he thought it was a good opportunity to take Zeno and the civilians out in one fell swoop.
"The Consul has his savage mercenaries. We just need to wait."
"Stalon, you go and join forces with mercenaries from other families, rectify the team, and wait for the opportunity."
Facaron sipped the wine and cut the roasted lamb on the table with silver tableware, saying calmly.
"Okay, father."
The eldest son Staron was wearing armor, holding a big sword, and with a few followers, pushed the door out.
………………………………
"Father, let's wait until they both lose and win the biggest victory." The youngest son Durom tidied up the silk inner layer in his armor and said gasping.
The madness these days has caused him to be extremely deficient.
"Smart boy. By the way, have you dealt with all your slaves?"
Facaron was very proud of the intelligence of this young son.
"Don't worry, before the decree to abolish the debt slavery, I had already shipped the slaves to Sparta. The Jiyuan there happened to be short of staff."
"Father, you really should participate in my Virgin Carnival Night."
Duro put on his armor, picked up his slender narrow sword, and persuaded with a smile.
…………
Zeno's new law "abolition of debt slavery" caused Duro, the youngest son of the Facaron family, to suffer heavy losses.
He has always been targeted in the city-state, where there are urban free people who have grown up in the first place, and self-cultivated farmers' families, and conducts "targeted lending".
The so-called "targeted lending" is the kind of loan that does not have demand and creates demand...
Residents in the border areas will suffer from "wolf packs" and "bandits" in winter, and they will suffer heavy losses;
Self-cultivated farmers, self-sufficient and stored grain warehouses, suddenly "fire";
Urban free people encounter "opportunities to make money", borrow money to invest in cargo ships, and fail to go bankrupt;
Discover the other party’s weaknesses and set up a plan.
There is always one for you.
…………
In the end, these civilian families could only mortgage their daughters as debt slaves.
Duroon would raise these debt slaves to the age of fifteen or sixteen, and then sell them to the Jiyuan in various city-states to make huge profits.
…………
Duro, the youngest son of the Facaron family, in order to deal with Zeno's abolition of debt slaves (prohibiting the natives from becoming debt slaves).
Three days before the new law was promulgated, Duroon held a first night carnival, with the tickets of 300 wheat dots.
This is equivalent to the annual income of a second-level (knight-level) citizen of Athens. A knight-level citizen of Athens can hold a senior official position other than a treasurer (i.e., a financial officer, a kind of consul).
Duro turned all forty-three debt slaves into women overnight.
Then, all the debt slaves who were tortured to death were transported to the dock, put them in iron cages, carried them on cargo ships, and shipped to the slave market in Sparta for sale.
………………………………
Boom!
A large amount of wall dust and rubble fell from the top, hitting Facaron, who was eating the lamb.
Facaron looked up in panic, and the mutton in his mouth was too late to swallow...
The colorful monster bird fell from the sky and broke into the top. A spear made of cypress wood nailed Fakaron from head to butt to the seat.
【Ding! Fakaron died!】
【The morale of the noble mercenaries is declining!】
【The noble mercenaries' hearts of the army are shaken!】
…………
The third generation Tecumsei shook off the dust on his body and tried to pull the spear out of Fakaron's mouth.
It was inserted too deep, and the tip of the spear penetrated through its thigh and penetrated into the ground.
"Skinned...skinned man..."
Looking at the devil who killed his father in front of him, a white mask with a colorful patterned face, a skinned man with a black body, a colorful feather crown, his youngest son Durot drew his sword.
The third generation of Tecumse ignored Duro, but looked around.
"You dare to kill my father! Miscellaneous!"
Duroon found that the other party had no weapons, so he mustered up the courage and slashed with sword in both hands.
The pace was unstable and he staggered.
Bang...
He knocked over the ceramic rack on the side, and the ceramic pots and porcelain fell to pieces.
These days, the carnival of the first nights made Duro's legs very weak.
…………
Third generation Tecumse looked around and picked up the whole roasted lamb that had been gnawed on the table. He picked up the legs of lamb and lifted the whole lamb.
Duro was about to get up, when the third generation of Tecumse smashed the roasted lamb heavily on Duro's head.
Bang!
This made Duroon confused. He lay on the ground, shook his head, and tried to get up...
Bang! Bang!
Third generation Tecumse once again used roasted lamb to smash Duro's head.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The third generation Tecum was like a iron thrust, and the roasted lamb in his hand was like a hammer, constantly hitting Duro's head on the ground.
A whole roasted lamb was smashed into pieces, broken bones and meat splattered everywhere.
The head on the ground, the eyes cracked, the black beads were in and out, and it seemed like a silk shop was opened, the red, black and crimson were all about to come out...
…………
Bang!
