Chapter 56: Crisis Strikes
"Big young master, this is their big boss" Li Tianlong threw a bundle of one-eyed dragons like zongzi in front of Liu Lei's feet, in addition to capturing more than 20 people, most of the rest were killed, and it is estimated that only a few people ran away.
Liu Lei raised the one-eyed dragon's head on tiptoe and said, "Say, who asked you to come?" ”
The one-eyed dragon snorted, Liu Lei smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't say it, don't say it now, sooner or later you will say it, take it down"
Li Tianlong asked the one-eyed dragon to be brought down, and by this time the team had been regrouped, and only a few slaves and prisoners had escaped. The militiamen stood in two columns, and four more were on their knees.
When there was a battle, these four people not only did not come to assemble but also ran away, Liu Lei glanced at them and said, "You four stand up and follow me by yourself."
The four of them didn't even dare to raise their heads, and nodded hurriedly.
Liu Lei asked again: "Then, when you are electing soldiers, you are also voluntary?"
The four nodded again.
"Then why did you run away" Liu Lei suddenly shouted loudly, he was angry now, these militias were all selected by him to be the foundation of the Qingfeng Town troops, but he didn't expect that it was just the first time that there were deserters in the battle.
"Young master, spare us, spare us, we are so scared" one of the deserters said incessantly kowtowing.
"Spare you? If you are afraid, will others not be afraid? You were civilians two days ago, and I don't blame you for being afraid of danger when you encounter danger, but you shouldn't run away from the battle, and you're still wearing the armor of our Liu family! Aren't you afraid of others, why aren't these brothers with you afraid of death and dare to fight with bandits," Liu Lei said, pointing to the remaining militiamen.
The militia who was accused all proudly sounded their chests, proud, as if they had really experienced a big war Yes, but Liu Lei just estimated them, and these people in the battle just now were at best a cheerleader, beating water dogs, and the main force was Li Tianlong.
Liu Lei hated that iron could not be made of steel, and he looked at the four people kneeling on the ground and said, "Forget it, you take off your armor and go."
The four deserters didn't expect Liu Lei to let them go, so they hurriedly took off their armor and ran in the direction of the fortress.
It's not that Liu Lei doesn't want to kill a few people to establish power, it's really that people's hearts are uncertain now, and if he really kills a few more people, it will backfire.
After dealing with the deserters, Liu Lei looked at the imposing militiamen and said: "Brothers, you are good, you are not worthy of the armor on your body, I now announce that you have officially become real soldiers, in order to reward you for your performance just now, each of you will be rewarded with a silver coin."
Xiao Cui came over with a plate, Liu Lei walked over to greet each militiaman, and then personally stuffed the silver coins into their hands, which made everyone excited, one because they were rewarded, and the other was affirmed by the future head of the family.
Seeing that everyone was red, Liu Lei couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, he was also a traverser, and the means to win people's hearts on the earth was simply to raise his hand.
After sending out the silver coins, Liu Lei said again: "When we arrive, every soldier in Qingfeng Town is rewarding ten catties of meat" This sentence can envy the people next to them, many of them are now almost forgetting what meat tastes like, many people are planning to wait until Qingfeng Town wants to be a soldier, and Liu Lei wants this effect, he is to set a benchmark and example, so that people have the motivation to be slaves.
Three days later, they came to the intersection of the secret cottage, and the convoy of mining equipment and the slaves were separated, Liu Lei explained to the blacksmith, and the blacksmith led the team away.
Without the speed of the team transporting heavy equipment, the speed is not much faster, and the road out is more difficult, Liu Lei asked people to open up a road to come out, after all, this road will be the main artery of their communication with the outside world in the future, only when the road is repaired can the materials be transported in, and more people can be attracted to Qingfeng Town.
In this way, the rest of the road was a full five days, and when Liu Lei saw the simple wall of Qingfeng Town again, it had been almost a month since he left.
Zhu Dezhi, who had already received the news, came out to greet the people left behind happily.
Liu Lei, who was far away, saw a giant bear running towards him, and the rest of the team also saw it, the team almost rioted again, Li Tianlong hurriedly restrained the militia who already had some foundation, and at the same time explained loudly to everyone, and the team was barely controlled.
"Big Bear!" Liu Lei shouted happily, greeted him, hugged the head of the war bear, and the war bear licked his body.
"Young Master, you're finally back," Zhu Dezhi also ran over and said happily.
"Mmmm, I'm back, I'm back," Liu Lei smiled and nodded.
Zhu Dezhi and the people who stayed behind were excited when they saw the slightly large team, and everyone with a discerning eye knew that Liu Lei's harvest this time was definitely not small.
Liu Lei used all his strength to push Zhan Xiong's head to the side, and then asked, "How is it?" I haven't had anything happen in the past few days, right? ”
How do you know that Zhu Dezhi, who was originally happy, suddenly turned stunned when he heard Liu Lei's words, Liu Lei knew that something must have happened, and he looked behind Zhu Dezhi.
Zhu Dezhi noticed his movements, and replied knowingly: "Captain Liu Bushan took someone to the Warcraft Forest to inquire about the news."
Hearing this, Liu Lei's face was ugly, and he felt that this was definitely not a trivial matter: "Let's go, go back and find a quiet place to say." ”
After a while, Liu Lei, Li Tianlong, and Zhu Dezhi all came to the humble hall that Qingfeng Town had just built.
"Huh? What did you say? Can you be sure? Liu Lei suddenly asked in shock, not even realizing that the hot water in the cup was spilled on his hands.
Zhu Dezhi said helplessly: "Young Master, don't worry, this is just gossip we got, it hasn't been confirmed yet, Captain Liu has been taking people for four days, and there should be news back soon."
Where can Liu Lei not be in a hurry at the moment, it turned out that five days ago, a hunter met an expedition team, and learned from the mouth of that expedition team that the spies of the Stormwind City State had been found near Sunset City, what does this mean?
Eighty percent of the explanation, Liu Lei and the others' guess at that time came true, the Storm City State really planned to bypass through the Warcraft Forest, the defense line of the Heavenly Horse City-State, and prepared to directly attack the hinterland of the Heavenly Horse City. And it was found that the spies had already written that the people's troops were in place, and it was likely that the next news would come back, which would be the news of the fall of Sunset City. Once Sunset City falls, then the gate on the side of Tianqi City will be opened, and the small towns behind will be powerless to resist at all, and the same is true of Liu Lei's Qingfeng Town.
