Chapter 138: Slaughtering Cattle and Preparing for Arms
With Nicholas's order, a werewolf with the same huge body soon appeared in his military tent, wearing a bright silver exquisite armor, a long scarlet cloak on the back, and the two opposing golden wolf heads on the breastplate showed his identity, which was a medal that only the royal blood of the Wolf clan could wear on his chest, which even Nicholas was not qualified for.
This Wolf had a dark coat of hair, and his body was not visible because of his heavy armor, but the back of his bare hand was covered with raised veins like plant rhizomes, and his sharp nails shimmered as cold as metal.
"Captain Fell, meet the Legion Commander!"
"Hehe, you're coming quickly, I guess you've heard about the Gravel Wasteland, right?"
In the face of Nicholas's inquiry, Fell looked up and smiled, and replied with a faint smile: "I heard a little." ”
Fell has a tall nose and deep eyes, and when he is not smiling, his face does not make people feel terrible, but as long as he grins, the folds of flesh on both sides of the nose on his face are piled up layer by layer, and suddenly like a rag being rubbed by someone, every organ on his face will reveal a strong smell of blood, blooming with a chilling hideousness!
He is known as the "Bloody Slaughter Captain" Fell, one of the five captains of the Wolf Legion, and the most brutal by nature.
Nicholas pondered for a moment, and then asked Fell in an inquiring tone, "I plan to send you to lead the headquarters to teach that tribe a little lesson, what do you think?" ”
"Your words are where I am headed, my lord!"
"Get ready, let's be out early tomorrow morning!"
"Yes!"
Neither of them talked about anything more all the while, but Nicholas was convinced that there was no need to talk about it at all. Because wherever the Captain of the Blood Slaughter walked, there would basically only be a bloody field left, and just sending him out was enough to explain his meaning, and I believe Fell knew this very well.
When the Bloody Slaughter Captain was ready to go. Xing Xiaotian is leading everyone to wear a bull nose ring with great effort, and it is not necessary to use an iron ring to wear a cow nose ring. The same effect can be achieved with a rope when conditions do not allow, but the scene is a little more cruel, but there is no way to do it.
Even if the Bloodclaw Tribe and the Sharp Stone Tribe tried their best, they could only take away two or three hundred cattle, which was already the limit of their ability, and there were still as many as six or seven hundred cattle, if the methods of other tribes were adopted, even if it took half a month to transport all the hundred or so people with Xing Xiaotian. The easiest way is to select a cow, and then use a nose ring to connect dozens or nearly 100 cows into a string, and lead them back to the camp, which is the most convenient and fast way.
The other tribes were all dazzled when they saw this scene, but even if they wanted to regret it, it was too late, because they had already put down the cattle that had been allocated to them, and at this time they all became huge "frozen meat", and if they wanted to transport it back to the tribe, there was only one way, to move it!
While the other tribes were working hard/forcing porters, the kobolds and fox crossbowmen of the Black Rock tribe walked away with a relaxed face on their ropes. It didn't take long for the tribes to be left far behind.
Sometimes a simple idea can save a lot of brute force, and it just so happens that Xing Xiaotian fully wields his advantage, that is, his head is not rigid.
When Xing Xiaotian transported all the cattle back to the camp. Some tribes even sweat halfway there!
Looking at the herd of cattle, the whole camp was jubilant, as long as there were these cattle, let alone the whole winter, even the meat for the whole year next year would be almost enough, the only trouble was how to place these cattle.
Xing Xiaotian thought of many ways to deal with these cattle, but he vetoed them one by one, nothing else, it was really too big for this group of cattle. It would be an astronomical amount to eat in a day alone, but if you don't feed them. They lose weight day by day, and the best way to do that is to slaughter them all. The long winter months are the best cold storage to keep the beef delicious.
When Xing Xiaotian said his thoughts, everyone secretly shouted that it was a pity, but they also knew that there was no way to do it, with the existing food in the tribe, at best, it was to support more than a dozen cows that gave birth, one was to keep the seeds, and the other was also to prepare for the pregnant women who were short of milk.
Killing must be killed, but how to kill is a university question, the hair of the cow can be woven into clothes, ropes, blankets, the skin of the cow can be made into leather armor, tents, and even the bones and internal organs of the cow are also useful, the offal is needless to say, it is done well and can definitely make people eat their tongues, even those who can't eat can also feed the fish, you must know that there are a lot of fish raised by Xing Xiaotian in the lake, and even the manure can be turned into fertilizer to nourish the land in the coming year.
It was precisely because of these heavy considerations that Xing Xiaotian's slaughter slowed down, and it was precisely because of this that he was able to retain a killer move.
In order to prevent the cattle from scurrying, Xing Xiaotian specially ordered people to dig into a prison, and drove all the cattle into the snow pit, and then picked out the selected targets one by one to slaughter them one by one, the sharp tip of the knife was inserted from the neck of the cow, and the blood gushing out of the "...... boom" poured into the large iron basin placed in advance, and several pots of boiling water had been boiled in the open space not far away. After peeling it into a "bare cow", it is lifted directly to the open space on the side.
Another cow was pulled out of a snow pit......
The whole camp is like a huge slaughterhouse, and it is running so fast that both men and women, young and old, can find their place, and even children can put the mess of cow hair in order for later use.
The cacophony of cows and the heavy smell of blood attracted a large number of wild wolves to wander around, and some of the wolves, unable to bear the hunger, even dug out the corpses of the warriors who had been buried before, but these corpses were the stuff of food when there was no choice, and they obviously preferred the latter to the hot blood and delicious beef.
Some wild wolves even tried to sneak up on these bold wild wolves. Xing Xiaotian directly sent the Swordantelope out, driving away the wild wolves is secondary, and the most important thing is to let them practice their courage.
In order to achieve the desired effect. Xing Xiaotian deliberately planned the scope of responsibility for each team, whether it was a wild wolf running in within the scope of that team. The whole team won't have anything to eat tonight!
For Xing Xiaotian's domineering order, the honest and honest swordantelope people can only grit their teeth and hold their own defense line, and use the wooden stick in their hands to repel the wild wolves that try to pass through the defense line again and again, in this process, Xing Xiaotian accidentally appeared a phenomenon, that is a well-known timid guy among all the swordantelope, his name is "Yellow Horn", he doesn't even dare to intersect with the wild wolf who is several times smaller than him. But he had his own way of driving it, which was to use a sharpened stick as a javelin, and each time the javelin was thrown, it would pierce a wild wolf, and its lethality would be even greater than that of his companions.
The scene in front of him couldn't help but make Xing Xiaotian ask himself, could it be that he chose the wrong training method?
Maybe these Swordgazelles are better suited to be javelinmen!
The Antelope people are timid and bold, which comes from the nature of their bones, just like wolves eat meat and sheep eat grass, forcing them to be tough against strong enemies is indeed a bit difficult for strong people. Xing Xiaotian has not found a good solution for such a long time, but the scene in front of him undoubtedly opened a window for him.
If it weren't for the hand-to-hand combat, the cowardice of the Swordantelope would have decreased in terms of geometric efficiency. Moreover, the javelin can also fully wield their high strength, long arm strength, strong endurance and other characteristics, only with a wooden gun can shoot a wild wolf, this strength, this precision, I am afraid that even Xing Xiaotian himself has to be ashamed.
Thinking of this, Xing Xiaotian hurriedly called the "yellow horn" who used the wooden gun to his side and asked, "Who did you learn your javelin from?" ”
"Your Excellency...... I...... I ......"
As soon as he saw him like this, Xing Xiaotian knew that his timid nature had committed it again, and hurriedly explained in a softened tone: "Your javelin...... No, it's a very good gun. I can't praise you too late, so how can I blame you. So don't worry, say it boldly! ”
After seeing that Xing Xiaotian really didn't mean to blame himself, "Huang Jiao" scratched his head shyly and said, "Hehe, I'...... I didn't study with anyone. I was timid since I was a child, I didn't even dare to catch a rabbit, once when I was hungry, I happened to see a sand rabbit running in front of me, and I couldn't catch up, at that time I happened to have a sharpened wooden stick in my hand, and then I just threw it...... "This yellow horn is quite interesting, while saying and dancing to restore the scene at that time.
“………… Then I caught the sand rabbit, and from then on I loved to get a wooden gun wherever I went! ”
"You mean to say that you stabbed a sand rabbit with your spear for the first time, don't you mean that?"
"Hehe, yes!"
Xing Xiaotian secretly screamed in his heart: "I found a treasure!" ”
However, he still resisted the excitement in his heart, and asked in a calm voice as much as possible: "Do you have this standard among your people, or do all of you have this goal?" ”
"No, I don't know!"
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything about him, Xing Xiaotian hurriedly beckoned to a sword-antelope not far away, and then stuffed the wooden spear in Huang Jiao's hand to him, pointed to a wild wolf fifty meters away and said, "Seeing that wild wolf, hit him with this wooden gun, just like Huang Jiao did." ”
The taming and honesty of the swordantelope were fully displayed at this moment, and he didn't ask why, but squinted his eyes very obediently slightly, and took aim quietly, without any warning, a black shadow burst out of the hands of the swordantelope, and went straight to the figure of the wild wolf, and finally plunged deep into the snow one meter away from the wild wolf.
“…… Adult ......"
Looking at the ashamed swordantelope, Xing Xiaotian waved his hand with a smile and said, "It's okay, you did a good job, go down!" Huangjiao, you go down too! ”
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhao Liang sitting alone at a wooden table pouring himself a drink, the food was actually iron plate beef and shallots, and what was even more excessive was that he didn't know where to get a little sesame sauce and red square, although the ingredients were incomplete, but the fragrance in front of him still made Xing Xiaotian's index finger move, and he didn't wait for the other party to be invited, he sat directly opposite him and smiled at Su La, who was standing aside and was in charge of guarding Zhao Liang, ordered: "Go and get me a pair of dishes and chopsticks, Hehe~ Lao Zhao, your food is good! ”
Zhao Liang seemed to glance at Xing Xiaotian helplessly, and then sighed and said: "Mr. Xing, I have done all the things I promised you, when can you let me prepare for the ** studio you promised me?" ”
Xing Xiaotian, who was in a hurry, directly picked up a piece of roasted beef slices with his hand, put it in his mouth and chewed it for a while, and while admiring Zhao Liang's good skills, he replied with a smile: "What are you anxious about?" Didn't you see that I just got back so many cattle, the food in the camp is not enough, there must be a priority in things, don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you, and after I am busy with this matter, I will let people send us some wood, winter~~ You will first use wood to build a deal with it, and wait for the spring of next year to build a good one for you, okay? ”
People are under the eaves, Zhao Liang can say that one is not good, and this is already the best result, it is indeed impossible to build a wall with cement in winter.
Zhao Liang got up and picked up an empty cup for Xing Xiaotian, and then asked, "Anyway, let me help you create something this time?" ”
"Hahaha...... Or do you know me, it's like this, I'm going to build a thousand throwing guns, when do you have time to help me build them? ”
After drinking all the wine in the cup, Zhao Liang burped and replied: "A thousand branches, that's fast, as long as you build a mold for two or three days, you can get it out!" ”
"So fast? Then make 2,000 branches! ”
"Mr. Xing......"
"Oops~~ Anyway, are you idle and idle, come on, let's continue to drink!" (To be continued)
