Chapter Seventy-Four: Out of the Mountain

There is a very famous valley in the Andes Mountains, called the Bird's Tomb, which is only two or three kilometers wide and twenty or thirty kilometers long, and each tree is hung with no less than three cobwebs.

Because of the famous bird trail, many small birds cannot cross the mountain, so they have to pass by in groups, making it a paradise for hunters.

Sean didn't have the idea of hitting the Bird Tomb, but like honey, he directly purchased the finished products in the hands of the Andes Mountain People, and when he tasted the sweetness, there would naturally be smart people who turned their attention to the Bird Tomb.

"Only the unthinkable, there is nothing that cannot be done. "The results achieved during this period have long made Ralph's confidence reach full value, full of energy, and will not be relented by a sentence or two before he hits a wall.

Ralph was by no means alone in this mood, and the whole of Jacob's ancient river was permeated with this apparent exuberance.

The only good thing is that the impetus generated by this sentiment is tilted towards labor production, not war.

In just one year, the first half of the blockade of the ancient river of Jacob has undergone earth-shaking changes, large areas of woods have been cut down, and then a wildfire, reduced to arable land, don't look at the Andes people live a life of half fishing and half hunting, but the fanatical pursuit of land is even higher than that of the Byronic people who were born in agriculture, because the half-fishing and half-hunting lifestyle cannot feed their stomachs, and farming makes it easier for them to survive.

But in the past few decades, the most suitable land for cultivation in the Andes Mountains has been the most dangerous place, and they can only cut a few bites from it intermittently, which makes their fanatical pursuit of land have been held in their hearts.

Now that there is an opportunity, this frenzy will naturally be unleashed, and the land they have cultivated has far exceeded the land they can cultivate, but they still ignore it, even in the face of coercive measures, many people are still sneaking around, wanting to reclaim more arable land.

Farming is also a science.

Sean used his own practical actions to teach those hot-headed Andis mountain people a lesson, farming alone is far from enough, but also needs intensive cultivation, pay attention to the time and reasonable layout to become - Sean is not a good hand at farming, but those soldiers of the eternal night who were born as military slaves are experienced, and some theoretical experience in Sean's previous life is still helpful.

The area of farmland reclaimed by the Eternal Night Legion accounts for less than one-tenth of the entire cultivated area, but the grain output is more than the total grain output of the rest of the cultivated land, although these grains are not staple foods, but mainly various beans.

Those Andes mountain people are only fanatically pursuing the amount of cultivated land, and they have almost zero experience in farming, basically planting widely and harvesting thinly, and after cultivating the land, they don't even know how to plow, and all kinds of seeds are sprinkled to complete their lives.

Not to mention hoeing, irrigation, etc., I don't even know the most basic principles of raising the land, and it is only hell that I can have a good harvest.

After getting along with these fools for a long time, Sean has some experience.

If you have any good things or good experiences, you must not take the initiative to send them in front of them, otherwise they will think that you are harboring evil intentions.

If you desperately hide it, they will try their best to find out the secret of farming from you, even at a certain cost.

As a result, Sean and the Eternal Night Army became the largest landowners in Jacob's Ancient River, and now half of the arable land has fallen into their hands, and the price they have to pay is to send proficient farming soldiers to teach Andis mountain people how to farm.

Of course, there are also discordant voices among them, such as those Andis mountain people who were abandoned outside the defensive circle, and they were not lightly harmed by the two sides who fought here.

In the eyes of both sides, they don't belong to their own people, and they don't care about their deaths and interests at all, many people have to wander back into the mountains, and some want to get closer to the Eternal Night Army, but they are rejected without hesitation, some people can take them in, and some people cannot, such as this kind of slippery black sheep, although there will be accidental injuries, but they can't take care of it.

There are also their own contradictions in the defense circle, many of which have migrated from the whole village, and they all have their own ruling classes, which are in charge of their own villages, and are naturally hostile to the Eternal Night Army, fearing that they will be seized power.

Many people from the village were connected in series, forming a so-called village alliance, with dozens of leaders, as many as thirty or forty thousand people, and even more armed with their own, nearly a small mountain hunter, entrenched in the upper 100 kilometers of the skull crusher McGee's lair on the water village for nearly a hundred kilometers, and the most active leader among them was none other than Sean and their old friend Clayton the Scavenger.

The Eternal Night Army, who were busy reorganizing and straightening out their internal relations, didn't have time to deal with them, in fact, neither Sean nor McGee the Skullcrusher took this village alliance seriously, as long as they wanted to, without the Eternal Night Army, the Skull Crusher Army alone could crush them.

But there is no need, their steps have been too big, they have begun to face a lot of food crises, if they are defeated and come over, not only is not help, but dragging, now they are pigs raised in their own back garden, when they are fattened or needed, and then used to open the knife.

What's more, any emerging force, especially the Eternal Night Army with many new policies, will produce a large number of resistors and unadapters, and these people will naturally run into the village alliance, and it is better to face an enemy on the surface than to face an enemy lurking within themselves.

"Do you have to go out?" Ralph hesitated, eventually turning the subject to the most sensitive place.

"Hmm. Sean nodded and said with a smile, "When did you see me change my mind halfway?"

"Isn't it good that we're in a good situation right now, and it won't be long before we have a piece of land that is completely ours and we can create the life we want. ”

"We always have to develop, and when our development reaches a certain level, we always need a new way out. ”

"But it's a long way off, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, maybe even thirty years, is it necessary to think so far?"

"People have no long-term worries, take a step to see a step, but not my style of life, take a look at three, is my favorite thing to do. ”

"But if you want to know the situation outside, it's enough to have those spies, why bother to go out in person?"

"I was able to see more realistically, and things on paper always felt hollow. ”

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, this is what you taught us, now as the head of an army, enter the enemy's territory, is it appropriate?"

"I have a certain amount of self-preservation now, I can't fight, I can't run? What's more, who knows me, from beginning to end, it is McGee, Marshall, and you who are at the forefront, except for those who are their own people, there are only a handful of people who know me, and besides, this is a secret operation, there will be a stand-in left here, and those who know about this matter can be counted with a slap, unless there is a traitor among these people, otherwise my whereabouts will not be exposed. ”

"But...... But what are we going to do?"

"What are you going to do now, after I leave, what do you do next, haven't you already done a good job? Our five-year plan has been formulated, and if we go according to the plan, there will be no big mistake, and besides, I am not going far, if there is really something, it will only take a week to send the message quickly, not to mention that the Chuanxin Mountain Eagle has been successfully trained, as long as I settle down, I will communicate with you on time." ”

"But...... But...... But ...... "Ralph was a long time and couldn't find a new reason to stop him."

"Okay, okay, when did you become such a mother-in-law?" Sean waved his hand impatiently, "I also have my selfishness, and I want to go out for a walk while I can still smoke now, and when we are completely developed, at that time, I will be tied up here, do you want me to be in the mountains for the rest of my life?"

"All right!" said Ralph, with a long exhale, "I remember that once every three days after I settled down, I sent a message to the mountain eagle, which was ordered by Madame. ”

"One by one, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, she disappeared at every turn for months, and never saw her come back. Sean muttered dissatisfiedly, he just wanted to get out of the mountains and see the outside world, but there were many obstacles, as if life and death were parting, and he would never return.

Fortunately, Sean is not one of those rebellious young people who don't know what to do, and their obstruction is completely out of concern for themselves, and they patiently explain to them over and over again.

As for safety, Sean is really not too worried, although he stirred up a storm in the Andes Mountains and the Bastille during this time, and a fire changed the pattern of the Manyu military leader, but most of the credit and hatred is on the side of McGee the Skullbreaker, and the Manyu military leader knows that there is someone behind McGee, but who it is, there are thousands of clues.

There are those who say that they are not born wise, and those who say that they are mysterious witches, anyway, and there are also those who are related to Sean, a later generation of fame, but they are considered the most unreliable of all legends, after all, his age is too deceptive.

It's not that Sean underestimates the espionage methods of this world, but it's really backward.

Without all kinds of advanced means of communication, the portraits of wanted criminals were drawn by painters based on the descriptions of the victims, and even professionals with special criminal investigation training drew portraits of murderers full of errors, let alone abstract portraits made by those painters who did whatever they wanted.

On the eve of the heavy snow closing the mountain, Sean quietly left the mountain where he had lived for fifteen years, and only an old dog Barton was by his side.
