Chapter 40: Division
After a tragic battle, the originally beautiful land of Chihaya has long been unrecognizable.
Because the strength of the crab god is a bit prominent, Makoto Gray Hara's prediction. There were a lot of casualties among his men. But there are no immortals in war.
Those who have survived to this day understand this truth. Ignoring the casualties of their close comrades-in-arms or even relatives and friends, they began to count the victories of this war. Although at this time, the place of Chizao was already in tatters, and it had even been stained with blood. But everyone searched very carefully, and even dug down for a long time when they saw a crack.
Because Makoto Gray Yuan knew that this crab god had been the lord of this area for nearly a hundred years, and the human city-states had not been offering their goods to them for less than a year.
It can't be nothing.
Sure enough, they were able to dig up an underground warehouse. When they got closer, they were amazed at the dozens of boxes of treasure. They had never seen so much money in their lives. Each of them secretly swallowed their saliva, saying that it was impossible to have no idea at all. As long as they secretly stretch out their hands, the wealth that they will not get in their lifetime can be at their fingertips.
It's just that they understand very well that this is impossible, even if they go out later and not be interrogated, will the people who are around now tell the truth? This is obvious and there is no doubt about it.
They forcibly suppressed the thoughts that were about to stir in their hearts, and pretended to be very happy and ran out to report the good news:
"Found it! This is the treasure of the youkai. ”
Hearing the news, Makoto Gray also rushed towards this treasure house. He wanted to go in and count the wealth himself. Just walking to the entrance of the cave, he hesitated, and a pungent stench hit him. He seriously doubted that he would live several years less if he walked in. Although he endured it, it was better to suffer less of this kind of innocent sin. So he asked his curious men, who were watching from the sidelines, to go in and move out.
They didn't have the slightest reluctance, and even seemed very happy.
After everything was moved, Makoto Gray Hara ordered all the boxes to be opened. There is no doubt that everyone present, even the shrine maiden Tsuiko, who has always been pure-hearted, also has a change of expression. Although she has never loved money, and as a witch to live a life, the people of the village have always prepared for her. But after all, we still live in the world, how can we not know the benefits of money? Otherwise, she wouldn't have worked so hard to save money. Although she can't save it every time, it's not that she spends money and doesn't make self-control, it's just that the herbs she picks up the mountain by herself are not only not comprehensive enough, but also not enough in quantity. Although it is not that it is not necessary to treat the people in the village for medical treatment, it is just that many villagers can't afford to eat, so how can they have money for her. After being cured, Cuizi not only did not collect money, but also left some money to the villagers.
Looking at the white silver in front of her, Cuizi still lost her mind after all. If she had any of these, even if it was just a box, she would be able to make the villagers live a good life, right? It's just that she understands that these treasures only belong to the city lord in front of her, who doesn't say a word. Seeing the stunned lord of the castle, she thought that the lord must have been dumbfounded and crazy with joy when he saw so many treasures.
.....
Makoto Gray Yuan looked at these treasures and was silent, not that he was stunned by the money, in fact, there were not many of them. It's just that it can still be called a wealth more or less.
Because of his mistake that led to this heavy casualty, he is not a ruthless person to be honest. Although it was for his ambitions to start a war.
And in the final analysis, it is to facilitate access to more trading points, enhance his potential in the eyes of the company, and show his strength. At the end of the day, it's like a game.
But that doesn't mean he can really play life. These people were flesh and blood people, and they used to drink and eat together. There are even jokes.
What's more important is that these guys trust themselves and put their lives on their own. Trusting yourself will lead them to victory. Give one to bring victory to them. It's just that now because of his miscalculation, this unnecessary casualty has been caused.
Self-blame is certain, but the war does not stop because of this. The plan still needs to be carried out. It's just that the original plan needs to be changed. This is not that he is ruthless, since the matter has begun, there is no possibility of stopping. Otherwise, even if he doesn't look for trouble, trouble will come to him on its own. At least the Tengfeng family under his command must have been the first to defect.
Only this time he has to take it more seriously, and he has to change from the previous plan with efficiency as the core to a safety-oriented plan.
.......
After counting the loot, a short time has passed.
Makoto Gray Yuan ordered everyone to make a fire and cook on the spot. After all, it's a rare delicacy.
A cauldron was exchanged, and everyone present was not much surprised, because in their eyes, their city lord was already the reincarnation of a god, and there was nothing he couldn't do.
While waiting for some of the crab god's legs in the pot to be cooked, Makoto Gray issued a plan to them that had changed.
"When we're done, we're going to divide into four ways.
Snake bones and refining bones, you will take two squads to guard the belongings here and take care of the wounded.
Brute Bone, you and the rest of the Bone Seven continue to guard the safety of Tsuiko.
Tengfeng Shinji, you take a few people back to the village, ask people to come back to treat the wounded and help these things back. Remember that each family of those who died in this battle was given twenty taels of silver, and they were recorded as meritorious families.
I went to Isshiki Castle by myself.
Monkey, you take Tsuiko and the rest of the people to the surrounding cities with that pair of crab claws, each city is only given one day, if you don't surrender, you don't need me to say it. ”
After explaining the task, Makoto Gray Yuan finally patted the monkey on the shoulder and said earnestly. The monkey can be said to be the person who has been under him for the longest time, although his strength is quite weak, and he is not very smart, but it has to be said that he is a very clever young man. Every time I explain something to him, I always get it done.
"But less—general. You're alone! I'm afraid that's not right! Why don't you bring a few people, at least Tsuiko-sama with you! ”
The people next to him also hurriedly agreed.
"Yes! General, you can't venture alone! ”
"Hmmm! The general must not be left alone to take risks. Please think about it, General. ”
"That's it! Needless to say, I've made up my mind. Don't worry! If I want to go, there is no one in this world who can stop me. ”
Cheng Gray Yuan saw the excited crowd and knew that they were worried about their safety, but he knew very well how many catties and taels he had, and he would not joke with his life.
But everyone continued to dissuade them, but unfortunately they couldn't change their city lord's mind until the end.
After a hearty meal, Mr. Everybody watched the lonely figure of the lord of the castle who had left alone, until he could no longer see the figure. That's when they left.
