Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game
#538 - Tension 4
More crucially, the families of these governors were all settled in the Imperial Capital.
This was like an invisible yet extremely powerful lock, making them deeply aware that their every move was related to the safety, honor, and disgrace of their families.
Once they had the thought of betraying the empire, the consequences would be unimaginable. Not only would they bear the infamy for all time, but their families would also be implicated and fall into a state of eternal damnation.
Therefore, no matter what difficulties and obstacles they faced, they always adhered to their loyalty to the empire and never wavered in the slightest.
During this difficult period of combat, Soren also knew that he had to find ways to stabilize the hearts of these exclave governors and encourage them to devote themselves to the battle with all their might.
Therefore, he often used various methods to constantly dangle carrots in front of them, painting one tempting and beautiful blueprint after another.
For example, Soren promised them that as long as they could win this battle, the cities they originally guarded would become their fiefdoms.
For these governors, this was undoubtedly a very attractive condition.
Having their own fiefdom meant that they could not only obtain the rich resources of this land, but also establish their own power locally, and the glory of their families would be further continued and enhanced.
This was something they never dared to think about in the past, but now it was possible to achieve it, how could they not be tempted?
In addition to this, Soren also threw out another major promise: to grant them the opportunity to break through to the Saint Realm.
In this world where strength is supreme, the Saint Realm is a realm that countless people dream of but is out of reach.
Once they broke through to the Saint Realm, their own strength would undergo a qualitative leap, and their status in the empire would also rise, becoming an existence admired by everyone.
For these exclave governors, they had experienced life and death tests in battle, and naturally longed to have stronger power to better protect the empire, and at the same time seek a more glorious future for themselves and their families.
Soren's promises gave these exclave governors hope in the arduous battles, and also gave them a stronger motivation.
They knew that as long as they gritted their teeth and persevered, and did their best for the empire, these beautiful visions might become a reality when the day of victory arrived.
Therefore, they became even more determined to fight the rebels to the end.
In their respective positions, they tried their best to deal with the enemy, either skillfully launching guerrilla warfare, or guarding those key strongholds, using practical actions to fulfill their loyalty to the empire, and also contributing their strength to this war concerning the survival of the empire.
In the depths of a dense jungle in the Empire's Naril Province, Governor Aiden was leading his guerrilla squad, cleverly hidden beneath layers of overlapping branches and shadows.
Aiden's eyes were stern and firm, revealing the composure and wisdom of a veteran, he was wearing a low-key but practical leather armor, which had several scratches and wear marks, silently telling of the battles he had experienced in the past.
The team members were all nervous and full of anticipation. They gripped the weapons in their hands tightly, which included simply made bows and arrows, sharp daggers, and several long spears captured from the battlefield.
When the transport team entered their ambush circle, Aiden suddenly waved his arm. In an instant, the sound of bowstrings rang out like raindrops, and sharp arrows whistled towards the enemy.
The unprepared enemy was immediately thrown into chaos. Soldiers screamed and fell, and horses neighed in fright.
Aiden then shouted loudly, leading the team members to rush out of the jungle like ghosts.
He held a long sword in his hand, the blade shimmering with cold light in the dappled light and shadow of the sun through the leaves, and took the lead in rushing towards the enemy.
He saw that his figure was agile and his swordsmanship was fierce. Every sword accurately pierced the enemy's vital points. After a few rounds, several enemies had fallen under his sword.
An enemy officer tried to organize resistance. He waved his long knife and slashed at Aiden.
Aiden did not panic, dodged sideways, easily avoided the attack, and then backhanded a sword, directly hitting the officer's arm, and the long knife fell to the ground.
The officer widened his eyes in horror. Before he could react, Aiden's sword was already against his throat.
Under Aiden's brave leadership, the guerrilla team quickly controlled the situation. They successfully intercepted all the supplies of the transport team, including a large amount of food, weapons and medicine.
These supplies could not only replenish their own reserves, but also provide strong support for resistance forces in other regions.
After this battle, Aiden and his guerrilla team became famous. Their deeds became a model for boosting morale throughout the empire, and also made the border kings begin to truly realize the terrible nature of these guerrilla teams, and had to allocate more troops to guard against their attacks, thereby greatly reducing the pressure on the Imperial regular army on the frontal battlefield.
In fact, the actual casualties in this battle were not large. The casualties on both sides did not exceed a thousand, but it cut off the food supply for the next two months for two army corps, which would undoubtedly seriously affect the morale and combat effectiveness of those two army corps.
It invisibly weakened the combat power of these border kings.
Soren knew the great power of public opinion and morale in this difficult war situation, so he decisively decided to widely disseminate this war report highlighting the glorious achievements of the guerrilla team.
In every town and every military camp of the empire, the war report was like a fluttering banner, bringing the news of victory and the dawn of hope.
On the bustling streets of the Imperial Capital, messengers rode fast horses through the streets and alleys, holding a war report tightly in their hands.
They reined in their horses in the crowded square, jumped off their horses, and quickly posted the war report on a conspicuous notice board.
People gathered around, and literate people read aloud the contents of the war report, telling how Governor Aiden led the guerrilla team to cleverly ambush in the depths of the jungle, winning more with less, successfully intercepting the enemy's supply line, and seizing a large amount of supplies.
The listeners were all excited, and their eyes flashed with excitement and pride. The people, who were originally a little depressed due to the war, straightened their backs at this moment, and their hearts rekindled their confidence in the empire. They spread the merits of the guerrilla team to each other, as if the victory belonged to everyone.
