Chapter 68: The Savage Slave Girl

(kneel and beg for collection, recommendation!) )

It had been three days since Qin Dong and the others returned to Pazar's camp, and during these three days, according to the news transmitted by the scouts scattered around the camp for a hundred miles, it was normal, and there was no sign of enemy invasion, and according to the information sent back by the spies of the three Germanic tribes that had penetrated into the southwest, it also showed that those Germans did not move at all.

This is more dangerous in Qin Dong's opinion, the more there is no action, the big move is likely to be behind, the Germans are a little afraid of the Huns, but it does not mean that they are not greedy, a large number of cattle, sheep and horses in the camp are absolutely the first huge wealth in the eyes of the Germanic people in the southwest. In the face of great wealth, it is not uncommon for greed to triumph over fear.

Most of these Germanic people are actually Ostrogoths, as we all know, the Goths are only one of the branches of the Germanic people, and the Goths are divided into Ostrogoths and Visigoths, most of the Ostrogoths have been subordinated to the Huns as early as seventy or eighty years ago, and the southwest of the Lila Mountains live behind the descendants of a small number of Ostrogoths who fled, according to historical records, the Goths were not distributed in southeastern Europe before, but in the area of Sweden in Northern Europe, and moved south in the 1st century AD. They defeated the natives who lived in southeastern Europe at the time, and drove out those people, the Ostrogoths had never known that there was a cavalry class, they had learned to ride horses from their defeated generals, but when the Huns' iron cavalry arrived, they were dumbfounded, and their horsemanship and horse fighting were like children's games in front of the Huns.

However, after a century or so of fighting, the Goths also learned to mount warfare, and in addition to cavalry archery, they applied the learned cavalry warfare to the Roman Empire and was proven, and the overwhelming blows of the cavalry made it impossible for the Roman Empire's heavy infantry phalanx to reproduce the glory of the past.

The heavy infantry phalanx of the Roman Empire has been dominant in Europe for centuries, and even the archers of the Parthian Empire in Western Asia have not been able to defeat it, but we all know that the Roman Empire did not defeat the archers of Patia with only the heavy infantry phalanx, and it was absolutely impossible for a single army to achieve an invincible record.

The victory or defeat of the war depends on many reasons, the reason why the heavy infantry phalanx of the Roman Empire has always been valued is also because the heavy infantry phalanx has indeed created a lot of victories, which makes the Roman Empire high-level and the people think that the heavy infantry is the strongest, in fact, without the cooperation of other arms, the heavy infantry alone cannot make the Roman Empire invincible in Europe. Not to mention anything else, the cavalry can use its strong mobility to not fight the heavy infantry head-on, but to use the guerrilla warfare method, as long as the formation of the heavy infantry phalanx can be dragged apart, and the cavalry can rush into the gap of the loose formation to kill, the heavy infantry will be finished.

Those Germanic people didn't move, but there was a commotion in the camp on Qin Dong's side, it turned out that it was the little girl Sophia who saw Qin Dong bring Martha back, and immediately complained about her dead sister, in fact, her sister had nothing to do with Qin Dong's half a dime, but she didn't know.

Since the day Martha was brought back, Sophia has been running to Qin Dong's tent every day to find fault, and Martha is indignant that she was forcibly taken by Qin Dong, and when she saw Sophia coming to find fault, she immediately put fire on Sophia, one big and one small, two women quarreled in Qin Dong's tent, and they also made a mess in Qin Dong's tent.

Qin Dong had a headache for this, in order to make himself quiet, he had to send Sophia to participate in the military training of the cavalry, under the command of Su He, since Sophia was ordered to participate in the training, the camp calmed down, but Martha still didn't give Qin Dong a good look, but whether she wanted to or not, Qin Dong must be on her every night. Although Martha is still fierce to Qin Dong, she calls him "barbarian, damn Hun barbarian" every day, but she no longer needs people to guard around the clock, the guards outside the big tent have been removed, just like picking up a wild dog from the outside, just locked up at home, the wild dog will bark every day, thinking of running away, after a period of time, the wild dog has also become a domestic dog, and began to treat this place as their home, and take care of and protect it.

When Qin Dong came back from outside that evening, Martha had already cooked the food, and the mutton in the iron pot smelled fragrant, while she herself sat on the side sewing a robe with bone needles.

Qin Dong walked into the tent and smelled the smell of mutton, sniffled and shouted, "Well, did you cook mutton today?" Okay, lamb is delicious, Martha, come and take off my armor! So saying, he took off his saber and hung it on a pillar.

Martha put down the bone needle and robe, got up and walked over with a bad face, and roughly untied the rope on the armor behind Qin Dong, and then took off the armor and hung it on the stand.

Qin Dong stretched out his arm and stretched his body and smiled: "It's so fragrant, Martha, bring me a piece of mutton and get some soup, I'm so hungry."

Martha took a silver plate with a straight face, took a piece of mutton from the iron pot, and put a bowl of soup in a clay bowl and put it heavily on the table, and the soup spilled out.

Qin Dong looked at Martha, smiled, didn't care, picked up the knife and began to cut meat and eat, but was slapped by Martha and knocked down the hand that had just been stretched out, only to see Martha kneeling on the ground, stretching out her fingers to draw crosses on the left and right sides of her forehead and chest, and then began to pray: "Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord, cleanse us from our sins; Ruler, forgive us our transgressions; Holy One, look upon us for your name and heal our sickness and infirmity. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, from this day to ever, and to the ages, and to the Lord, have mercy. Thank the Lord for blessing food and drink, for you are holy; Constant is the same, from today to forever, the world is endless. Amen".

Martha got up and left after praying, Qin Dong waited for her to finish praying before starting to cut meat with a knife, and after eating a few bites, he saw Martha herself holding a little mutton and walked aside, and immediately shouted: "Martha, come here!" ”

Martha came over with the food and stood in front of him looking at Qin Dong, she didn't speak, her little face was still cold, Qin Dong pointed to the sheepskin blanket beside her: "Sit here!" ”

Martha hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down obediently beside Qin Dong, who pushed the mutton cut from his silver plate and put it in front of Martha, and then took her mutton that had not yet been cut into slices and cut it to eat.

The two of them were eating food and talking at the same time, but Qin Dong was talking alone, talking about nothing more than some things that happened in the camp, as well as things in Southeast Europe, and sometimes telling a joke or two, Martha turned her head after listening to the joke, but the trembling of her body showed that she had been amused, but she didn't want to give Qin Dong a good face, for this man who forcibly took her and asked her for the first time, Martha didn't want to give him a smile so easily, and he was also an official of the Huns, She really didn't have a good impression of the Huns.

After eating the food, Martha began to clean up, Qin Dong lay on the thick sheepskin blanket and watched Martha work, it didn't take long for the water hanging on the fire to be hot, Martha cleaned up the tent and used a clay pot to fetch some hot water and put it at Qin Dong's feet, and said coldly: "It stinks to death every day, wash your own feet!" ”

Qin Dong laughed and grabbed her arm, "You help me wash it!" ”

"You, you let go, don't want me to wash you!"

Qin Dong played a scoundrel and said: "If you don't wash me, I won't let go!" ”

"You, you scoundrel is so bad! You, oops, you let go, I, I'll just wash you! Martha finally couldn't defeat Qin Dong's bad clutches, and in order to escape the harassment of the clutches, Martha could only "endure" the humiliation and wash Qin Dong's feet.

A pair of tired big feet soaked in the hot water, and a pair of soft little hands constantly kneading, it was so wonderful, Qin Dong closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed the service, listening to the sound of the little hands stirring the water splashing.

After washing her feet, Martha poured out the dirty water, and then washed her body with water, she hid in a place that Qin Dong couldn't see, the sound of the water, and the special smell emitted by the woman made Qin Dong want to move, and immediately jumped off the low couch and walked over to hug the smooth nun Martha from behind, Martha immediately let out an exclamation, her hands and feet kept kicking, and her mouth kept scolding, this situation lasted for several days, every time it was like this, Qin Dong liked this tone more, and after a while, The shouting stopped, and the moon hid in the clouds.
