Chapter 158: McGee's Scheme
"When do you think I'll arrange a bet with Tagore?" McGee the Skullcrusher snorted for a long time, and finally said his purpose. ~with~dream~small~say~ั~suimะตng~lฤ
"This matter is not negotiable. Sean shook his head without hesitation, what are you kidding, this kind of gambling battle can also be taken seriously?
Winning or losing, isn't this a child's play with the lives of soldiers?
What's more, loyalty can be earned?
"But I promised him at the beginning, and I swore a poisonous oath!"
McGee, the skull crusher, also knew that this thing was a bit unreliable, and if he didn't get Sean's support, there would be no way to proceed, racking his brains to state the benefits.
"Rabindranath Tagore is known as the Andes Tiger, a well-known veteran champion knight in the Andes Mountains, if he can join us, it will be an excellent publicity for our reputation, and a large number of mountain people will join us. As for the question of victory or defeat, there is no need to worry at all, fighting alone, I am not his opponent now, but leading troops to hedge, my skull crushing army is not afraid of him at all!"
"I don't think that with the current name of our Eternal Night Legion, we still need to use a champion knight to publicize, and even if it is publicized, it is more effective to publicize it in the name of capturing and killing the first warrior of the Andes Mountains. โ
Sean retorted mercilessly, "Honestly, what is the relationship between you and that guy that makes you go to great lengths to protect him?"
"It's really nothing to do with it, we haven't even met each other before. โ
"It really doesn't have anything to do with it?"
"Really no, if you really want to say yes, he is at most an idol in my life, a goal, among the Andes people, over the years, he has done his best, he can be regarded as a rare hero, and he has hunted slave hunters back then. McGee the Skullcrusher had a bit of sympathy on his face.
Sean can only attribute the relationship between McGee the Skullcrusher and Andes Tiger Tagore to the sympathy between the reckless men.
It's like some people who haven't met a few times, but they are born with a good feeling, or there is some similarity in the physical appearance or personality of the two.
Looking at the life experiences of the two, you can really find some similarities.
One is a mixed Andes and Kentana barbarian.
One is a tiger child who was once raised by a tiger.
The unique origins and encounters of childhood have forged the withdrawn side of their personalities, and many times they will seem out of place.
For example, the ferocity of McGee the Skullcrusher, before he became acquainted with Sean, he was far more irritable and vicious than he is now, and many times, it is not out of nature, but his own inexpressiveness and a kind of protection of his relatively fragile heart, subconsciously keeping people away.
Andes the Tiger Tagore is like a hedgehog, speaking ill of everyone, speculating on others with the most vicious malice.
But think about it from another angle, why is the hedgehog covered with thorns, and not to protect the relatively fragile heart?
The rejection of people who are not close to people is thousands of miles away, and low emotional intelligence is only one aspect, and on the other hand, it is subconsciously protecting oneself from being hurt.
Sean couldn't stand the soft grinding bubble of McGee the Skullbreaker, and although he didn't agree to the bet between the two, he still agreed to meet the Andes Tiger Tagore.
After Andes Tiger Tagore was captured, Sean didn't see him, but that guy purely turned self-protection into a cheap mouth, and because of his status as a champion knight, he was used to being praised by others, and he thought very highly of himself.
If it was half a year ago, to be exact, before the success of the Champion Knight Devil Training Program, or more precisely, before the Eternal Night Legion did not have its own Champion Knight, Sean might have to take a look at Andes Tiger Tagore, and try his best to recruit and accept it for his own use.
But now, there are already a few who can become champion knights, and the degree of desire is naturally greatly reduced.
Of course, that's not to say that the Legion of the Eternal Night doesn't need Champion Knights anymore.
The thirst for champion knights in any force is endless.
As the power of the Eternal Night Legion increased, the energy increased, and the information collected increased day by day, Sean specially transferred several military staff officers from the military staff to sort out and archive the military documents of the Ashan continent to prepare for the military class of the military academy.
There is something to gain, and Sean basically has a sneak peek.
In the process, Sean actually had the illusion of rereading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
It is nothing more than Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo, Liu Guanzhang, Sun Quan, Yuan Shu and other powerful ministers, who have become large and small families of the Byron Alliance.
Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xiahoudun and other first-class second-rate and third-rate generals have become champion knights, great knights, and knights.
Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Sima Yi, Zhou Yu, these strategists have become those warlocks and scholars, or both civil and military, or proficient in governance, each with their own strengths.
In terms of the tricks used, they are not necessarily very advanced, they are nothing more than conspiracy, deception, fire attack, water attack, etc., which are far from being as demonic as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Of course, this is related to the fact that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms itself is a fictional and exaggerated romance, and many characters have been deified by the author, either fictionalizing a lot of things, or a lot of things that he did not do, and they were also pressed on them.
But in terms of force, judging from Sean's current cognition, the force of the real Ashane Continent is very consistent with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
In large-scale wars, the role of the Champion Knight will be greatly reduced.
But in skirmishes, they are absolutely invincible, and without generals with similar force to resist, no, without champion knights with similar force to resist, one-sided slaughter is inevitable.
Starbuck and Dicron launched a gladiator uprising, which is the best example of this.
did not respond to the suppression of single force, the two champion knights were like tigers, in the street fight, unstoppable - although there are all kinds of human factors in it, but it is undeniable that their individual force plays a role in it, let alone changing to ordinary people or knights, even if they are replaced by big knights, the effect is not as obvious as it was at the beginning.
But when Angel Bena led the elite cavalry regiment of the Feron family and launched a large-scale attack, the two champion knights could only change the scene of the local war, but they could not control the fate of the entire army.
Every lord has fantasized about the scene of himself leading countless champion knights to charge, and Sean is no exception.
From the perspective of the long-term plan of the Eternal Night Legion, it is very unwise to take the initiative to lower their standards because of the identity of the opponent's champion knight.
Then launched a series of counterattacks against the Walled City Alliance, and Sean's whole person was like a spinning top, busy going around, where there was no time to pay attention to Tagore, and he was kept hanging in prison.
If McGee the Skullcrusher doesn't come to Sean, Sean is going to cool him down for another year and a half, completely exhausting some of his temper.
"You bastards, when are you going to lock up Lao Tzu? Kill or release, give me a happy word, Lao Tzu is about to be a bird here! What about McGee the Skullbreaker? Let him come to see Lao Tzu, he made a bet with Lao Tzu at the beginning! What about Sean? Let Shaun come to see me, believe it or not, sooner or later Lao Tzu will tear down your bird cage and kill a river of blood!"
Andes the Tiger Rabindranath Tagore heard the door open in his cell and immediately shouted loudly.
Sean heard it from afar, turned his head and left, more than three months of captivity did not let this tiger absorb any lessons, and learn a little.
Come to think of it, as a champion knight, the most important thing is a strong will, if it was so easily consumed, he would not have the current achievements.
It seems necessary to transform his prison into a confinement cell, and I don't know if he can still have such spirit after squatting in a completely isolated environment for half a year.
McGee the Skullcrusher grabbed Sean with a smile on her big face, gesticulating a gesture to give me a little face.
Just this once!
Sean gestured, he wanted to see what this fool had in mind, as for the gambling war, don't even think about it, every soldier of the Eternal Night Legion is precious, and it will not be wasted in this aspect, even if it is to win the allegiance of a champion knight, a champion knight who cannot measure loyalty is not as valuable as a loyal soldier.
McGee, the cranial crusher, nodded in succession, then sorted out his appearance, and then walked over with a swagger, "What are you shouting about, Lao Tzu is not here." โ
"You bastard, why don't you let Lao Tzu out quickly? At the beginning, we said that it would be a fair gamble to determine life and death, if it weren't for this, Lao Tzu would have killed you and run away, you won't regret it, right?"
Tagore poured steel and kicked the half-foot-thick iron door with a loud bang, obviously these months of prison life was not easy, throwing a person who was accustomed to being wild in the mountains into a small space only three spans away from the front and back, left and right, like a tiger in a cage, this grievance was naturally recorded on the head of McGee the Skullcrusher.
Compared to the beginning, Tagore was relatively restrained, because he knew that once he really kicked the iron door broken, he would suffer his sin.
The other party smoked a kind of cigarette ointment, even if he was a champion knight, it didn't take long, he was sore and weak, like a puddle of mud, at the mercy of others.
Tagore didn't pay much attention to the sequelae of soreness and numbness for a period of time afterwards, and what really embarrassed him was that once he inhaled too much cigarette cream, it would cause incontinence.
At the beginning, the Eternal Night Legion had no way to grasp the dosage of a champion knight, and they all added heavy doses, and if it wasn't for the timely rescue, it is estimated that Tagore would have suffocated to death.
After coming here several times in a row, Tagore is obviously a lot more honest, he is just rough, and he is not stupid, so he will not send it to the door to be a test for the Eternal Night Legion - as the number of uses increases, the other party's dosage control of the use of cigarette paste is obviously more and more accurate, and he can put himself down without bringing too many side effects to his body, this is not an experiment by the way, what is it?
Since then, Tagore has also put away the last trace of contempt for the Eternal Night Legion, and it is not a fluke or luck that the other party has been able to get to this point.
"It's not that I blame you, I didn't start lightly or heavily, Lao Tzu's life was almost not saved, where can I pay attention to you?
As soon as McGee the skull crusher opened his mouth, he also shouted grievances, but he never mentioned the matter of his confinement, and when he said his embarrassment, the other party not only did not sympathize, but increased the capital to laugh at him.
At most, I can let you lie down for a week, not to mention that you should now enter the re-strengthening period of the champion knight, eat more meat and drink more wine, it won't take a few days to recover, hurry up and let Lao Tzu out, by the way, good wine and good meat are ready, Lao Tzu is about to fade out of the bird." โ
Andes the Tiger Rabindranath Tagore scoffs at McGee the Skullcrusher's defenses.
"You can have good wine and good meat, let you out, I can't be the master. โ
McGee the Skullcrusher was obviously prepared, and as soon as he said hello, a large amount of food with the characteristics of the Legion of the Eternal Night was delivered, seasonal side dishes, fresh fruits, steamed, fried and boiled meat and vegetarian food, all available, and the most rare thing was that there were two barrels of monkey wine, and when the lid was opened, the room was full of fruity wine.
In this era, wine is definitely a luxury, especially wine made from grain, when even eating a full meal is a problem, how can there be excess grain to make wine, and it is inevitable that fruit wine will prevail.
The Andes also have their own drinks, and the monkey wine that McGee brought out is a representative of it.
Monkey wine is just a name, learned from monkeys, not really refers to monkeys brewed, the monkeys in the Andes Mountains do have a bit of a sense of intelligence and refinement, but they are far from being smart enough to make wine, and even if they are really brewed, most of them are by mistake, and they have not been screened and filtered, and the taste can be good.
The Monkey Wine of the Eternal Night Army is made from a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables and wild fruits, so it is also called Hundred Fruit Wine, which is a newly launched luxury product, and it is also considered to be a little famous and popular among the nobles of the Manyu Army.
If you mix some medicinal herbs reasonably, it will immediately become a medicinal wine with unique effects.
This thing, as long as the momentum is done well, even if it is a glass of boiled water, it can be blown into drinking immortal water, not to mention the medicinal wine of the Eternal Night Army, it is indeed a bit unique, and it is naturally normal to sell it at a sky-high price.
It is still a limited supply, as for whether the process is cumbersome and the supply is not available, or whether the Eternal Night Legion is engaged in starvation sales, only the decision-making level of the Eternal Night Legion knows.
Although alcohol is not prohibited within the Eternal Night Legion, it is not recommended to drink alcohol, especially in the army, that is, the veteran of the Skull Crusher Legion brought out by McGee the Skull-Crusher, who has a hobby in this regard, and the younger generation is very self-disciplined under the influence of Sean.
Wine has a mixed reputation.
However, in the social situation, it does have a different role, originally two hostile people, when drunk, take out the words that dig out their hearts, maybe they can untie a knot, and then call them brothers, hug their heads and cry.
This is quite appropriate for McGee the Skull Crusher and Andes the Tiger Tagore.
