Chapter 49: Rego's Determination
"Oh, through the stimulation of the nerves in the brain, so that the body is constantly activated in battle. The end result is that the body, which has been activated to the limit, is thus out of the control of the brain. As a result, the sensations of the body cannot be transmitted to the brain, and the brain cannot use its own emotions and instructions to control the body......" Regner read as if he understood while holding a piece of parchment: "In this way, people can be transformed into humanoid weapons that only have the instinct to kill and fight......"
Alex yawned on the side, he opened the window to look at the snow outside, and then couldn't help muttering, "Speaking of which, this should be summer, right? This thousand-year-old bird place is unexpectedly compatible with Anne......"
"But ignoring pain isn't inaccessible, so even if a Berserker enters a berserk state, he'll get hurt just as well. It's just that the wound hardly affects someone who ignores the pain......" Regner frowned, as if thoughtful.
"Ah, I'm glad I got a lot of warm clothes this time, otherwise I'd have already started to have a runny nose when I walked around in a place like this in summer clothes. Alex still seemed very laid-back.
"Berserker ......"
"But then again, I've heard that those barbarians are walking around shirtless even in such a cold and snowy situation! Do you want to secretly slaughter a few barbarians, skin them, and take them back to study them?"
"As for the weakness ......"
"That's not right...... It may also be that it is not a skin problem, but that these idiots are not very good at their brains and do not understand what hot and cold are. If that's the case......"
"Hey, I'm studying here, okay! If you don't help me, forget it, but don't babble to yourself, okay!
"Oh, you're studying, what are you studying?" Alex said, "So you've been studying."
"Take a look at the Berserkers, after all, I might have a fight with Rego in two days. So at this time, it is better to know more about the characteristics of the enemy. Regner said helplessly.
"Oh, that's right. Alex nodded, and then sang a ghost crying wolf: "Lalala, Regner is a coward, peeing in the middle of the night will scare his weak legs, lala, Regner is a big idiot, I can't tell how many fingers there are." ”
"You're determined not to let me be at peace today, do you? Do you understand what it means for me not to understand the characteristics of the enemy?!"
"Oh, it doesn't matter. Alex shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "Anyway, it's not me who will fight him when the time comes." ”
"You!" Regner froze.
"Alright, boy. Alex smiled, he stretched out his thin arm and rubbed Regner's short black hair: "You've been a little too nervous in the past two days, Uncle just wants to help you adjust." ”
"But that guy is a real headache. Ragnar scratched at his hair in anguish, remembering Rego's massive body and terrifying strength, and Regner felt that he was going to die this time.
"Didn't you say try to negotiate first?" Alex was still very relaxed: "If the negotiation can work, you don't have to fight him." ”
"But if it doesn't work, I'm not far from death. Regner grimaced, and then continued to read the research report on berserkers sent from the Alchemy Department of the Court Mage Guild.
......
Although the environment of the northern ice and snow plateau is extremely harsh, life also shows its tenacity in such a harsh environment. And the dominant race of this plateau is the barbarians.
In the beginning, the barbarians lived by hunting on the icy plateau, but as the population increased. The prey of the icy plateau is clearly no longer able to satisfy the appetite of the barbarians. So they set their sights on the south, the fertile and rich kingdom of man, and this was the beginning of the barbarian plunder.
Aggression and war are always accompanied by the exchange of culture and knowledge, and although the intelligence of barbarians is often despised by humans, they belong to an intelligent race after all, and still have a strong ability to learn. So, in the endless years, the barbarians also learned to plant and use tools from the human kingdom.
Convenient transportation and abundant food further stimulated the growth of the barbarian population. In this way, the barbarians gradually multiplied from a weak race with a population of only 30,000 or 40,000 to a powerful race with a population of 200,000. In the same way, they have become a threat that cannot be ignored by the human kingdom.
The barbarians now have their main sources of food from farming and hunting, but their warlike nature makes them feel that snatching from others is more in line with the definition of a strong man than their own hard work. Thus, although the barbarians could theoretically feed themselves in their homeland, their invasion and harassment have not ceased for so long.
At this time, among the central tribes of the barbarians, their new barbarian king was discussing with others about invasion and plunder.
"The human mission has entered the plateau, what do you think?" asked Rego in Dothraki, having spent some time in the human kingdom so he understood that human leaders always listen to their subordinates' thoughts before making decisions. Rego also wanted to emulate the humans, who were weak but cunning. And Rego, through his observation of humans, also understands that cunning is something that a leader should have.
"The ancestors told us that the weak lamb was not qualified to talk to the strong male lion. A middle-aged barbarian with a scar on his left eye spoke: "They should be killed by us and fed to the bears." Oh, of course, I mean men. If it's a woman, I think we should follow the tradition and take it first, and when she dies, then it can become a pot of delicious broth. ”
"Hahaha!!" Although the middle-aged barbarian said it obscene and bloody, all the barbarians present laughed.
Rego smiled as well, and he looked down at the letter in his hand. Although he has lived in the human kingdom for half a year, his lingua franca level has so far remained at the level of listening and speaking, making it difficult for him to read and write.
However, the witch doctor sacrifice in the tribe is literate, so Rego also understands who the leader of the mission is this time.
He was surprised, he hadn't seen him for a year, but that guy seemed to have gained a lot of power in the human realm. Rego understood that humans were different from barbarians, and that they might judge a person's status based on strength alone, but humans did not. So he was curious how the hell that guy did it.
If it weren't for that guy, Rego's treatment of the mission would have been pretty much the same as the barbarian had just said. It's just that he won't drink broth, and after living in the human kingdom for a while, he will still be a little uncomfortable if he is asked to eat human women. But that's about it.
Rego looked at the barbarians who had already begun to discuss matters related to the southern invasion, and Rego finally spoke: "No. ”
"Huh?!" all the barbarians were stunned.
"They are not weak lambs, at least one is not. Rego said flatly: "So, I want to welcome them and give them a chance to speak." ”
"This is a sign of cowardice!" the scarred savage who had spoken at first immediately stopped, and suddenly stood up and said in a loud voice: "All men are lambs, no different from other domestic animals!
Yes, although the humans occupy a large part of the land of Chino and are extremely powerful. But in the eyes of the barbarians, the humans who live in their own south are merely domestic animals in captivity.
Interestingly, human beings also have a mentality of "adults don't remember villains", and always turn a blind eye to the offense of barbarians. Over time, both of them have formed a perception that "they didn't fight because they didn't want to fight".
But Rego is different, he has been to the realm of humans, so he understands the power of humans very well. The not-so-good-eyed barbarian stood up and stared coldly at the man next to the barbarian who was barking at him (he was actually looking at the guy who was barking at him). Rego opened his mouth and asked rhetorically, "If humans are really domestic animals, why can they occupy fertile land while we survive in such a cold and snowy land?"
"You're advocating for humans, you're afraid of humans?" the scar barbarian stood up, and to be honest, he wasn't particularly convinced by Rego, because the guy was so young. And in the culture of the barbarians, the ancestors and elders can have a high status.
"Rego is not afraid of any enemy. Rego said lightly, and in the next second, a huge cloud of dust was kicked up in the place where he was originally located. Rego burst into the Scar Barbarian's side with a burst of speed, and he pinched the guy by the neck with precision, then pinned him to the ground.
"In the mission, there is a strong man. Rego said lightly: "I will defeat him and prove my strength." Then, I will lead you south, Rego will not take you to plunder, Reg will take you on the migration. Let the clansmen also survive in that fertile land. Rego wants to give the entire clan a more stable living environment, and Rego wants to give the entire clan a better future!"
"Rego!" Although one of his companions was being beaten, the other barbarians were not embarrassed by it. They all grew excited and yelled when they heard Rego's declaration.
"Rego, Rego, Rego!"
Rego let go of his hand, and he listened quietly to the cries of his people, thinking of a prophecy he had received from the priest a few days earlier.
"The test of strength will come in the near future, and through the test, Rego will become the greatest king of the barbarians. The priest said so at the time, and now Rego seems to understand what this test is.
He didn't ask what would happen if he failed, it was clear that in the eyes of the barbarians, the weak who could not pass the test deserved only death.
