Chapter 304: The Enemy's Trace
In the pile of rubble were scattered human bones, which Jianfang looked at for a while, and judging by the marks and burns on the bones, they must have been eaten.
"Could it be them?" Lin Shi looked at these bones, his face changed, and he said with a gloomy face.
Jianya threw away the broken skull in his hand and said with a cruel smile: "It seems that our old friends still come here often to wander around, and I ordered that if I see this tribe, I will kill them and leave no one alive." ”
"Chief soldier, it's unlikely that I'll meet them, and I've forgotten what they look like after so long, how to find them!" Lin Shi smiled bitterly.
"Forget? I won't forget, if I hadn't jumped off the cliff desperately, I would have been killed and eaten by them, but I remember their appearance very clearly, hehe! In the future, whenever I encounter a cannibalistic tribe, I will be arrested immediately, and I would rather catch a thousand wrong people than let go of one, and they will pray that the gods will not fall into my hands, and I will let them try what it means to regret coming into this world. Lin Jianya said gloomily.
When Lin Shi heard this, he suddenly felt that the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a lot, and a chill welled up in his heart, and he hurriedly persuaded him: "Chief soldier, the most important thing for us now is to capture the population, and when we conquer this jungle, we will naturally catch them." ”
Lin Jianya nodded and said, "I naturally know this, but if I don't kill them, I only hate them in my heart." ”
"Commander-in-chief! You don't need to tell Your Majesty about this! ”
Jianya shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty is so busy, how can you let this little matter disturb Your Majesty, we can just solve these problems ourselves." ”
"But..."
Lin Shi wanted to persuade again, but was interrupted by Jianya: "Needless to say, I have my own measure in this matter, gather the army, and prepare to return to the city!" ”
Lin Shi sighed and said, "Obey!" ”
After revisiting the old place, with a heavy face and strong teeth, he led the army back to the city under construction.
At this time, in the vicinity of the carved out Nuo Dakong, thousands of captives were desperately cutting down trees under the supervision of soldiers, and a wooden wall that could accommodate thousands of people was built in the rest of the month.
The new city under construction is the second city in the jungle, and there is another city under construction dozens of miles to the south.
According to Wang Lang's vision, the city in the jungle is not suitable for producing food, but there are too many wild animals and natural resources in it to count, and more importantly, this jungle in the north does not have the stuffy and humid feeling of the jungle in the south, which is very suitable for human survival.
The location chosen by Jianya to build the city is near the small salt mine, although the salt here is not as pure as the salt city side, but now that the army is far away from the rear, it can be supplemented by extra salt, which can reduce a lot of trouble.
The human language here is the same as the official dialect of Xia Guo, and there is no communication barrier, the newly captured laborers, after letting them eat two full meals, feel that it is a good choice to stay here, in addition to working non-stop every day, these humans wearing strange things on their bodies, did not abuse them, if they work honestly, they will even be rewarded with something that tastes special, which these people call wine, in this case, there are very few people who want to escape, and for those who escape, The soldiers guarding these captives were cold-blooded and ruthless, and they were caught and directly corrected on the spot.
After Jianya returned to the tribe, he immediately released a message among the captives, and anyone who could provide clues about those cannibal tribes would be immediately promoted to the free citizens of the Xia Kingdom, and a reward of 1,000 copper coins would be given.
For the captives, they don't know what the copper coin is, but to become a free citizen of this Xia country, the temptation is too great for them, after being captured for so long, they have already decided from various rumors that in the powerful tribe in the south, the Xia country is a paradise on earth, where there are countless people, no matter how to eat the food, even the beasts dare not enter the tribe for half a step.
Two days later, several captives asked to see Jianya.
The soldiers led the three men to the tent of Jianya, where they stood nervously.
"You have news of that tribe." Jianya squinted at the men and asked.
These people looked at the strong men in the tent, their nervous hearts beat wildly, and they trembled and said: "We met that tribe once before, that tribe attacked the weak tribe everywhere in the jungle, and ate the people they caught as food, and some of my tribe died at their hands. ”
Hearing this, Jianya raised his eyebrows and asked, "How often have you met them, and where are they?" ”
The man thought for a moment and said, "About a full moon to the west from here before the rainy season. ”
Jianya touched his beard, his face was extremely gloomy, "In the West for a month, it seems that this group of guys is using our residence as a place to stay, this group of damn guys, if I catch you, I will make you worse than dead." ”
"Honorable Chief, that's all we know, can we become free people?" One of them asked boldly.
Jianya doesn't care if they become free people or not, and after the north is pacified, these people are all from the Xia Kingdom, and it is only a matter of time.
"You are very good, now you are free, but the information you provide is not of much value, and the copper coins will not be rewarded." Jianya's face was not red, and his heart was not beating.
Several people were overjoyed when they heard this, and thanked Jianya again and again.
Jianya smiled and said, "If you become a free citizen, you can choose a place here to build your own dwelling, and if you want to get copper coins, you have to work, and with copper coins you can exchange food, wine and meat from the trading post, and your life will be much better than those captives in the future." ”
Hearing that they still had to work to become free people, these people suddenly felt as if they had been deceived, and although they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they did not dare to show any dissatisfaction in the face of these people who were stronger than themselves.
Depressed, they were taken down by the soldiers, who found them an open space and let them build their own shelters.
Jianya promoted these people to free people, not only as a reward for providing them with news, but more importantly, these people can play an exemplary role, so that other captives can see the benefits of becoming free citizens of the Xia Kingdom, after all, their own forces are too scattered here, if they riot collectively, it will also be a very troublesome thing, only if they really want to become Xia people, can this hidden danger be eliminated invisibly.
