Volume 1 The Fuse Chapter 47 For the Clansmen
After spending a few days in the barracks, I never thought of a foolproof solution to the Primorsky City problem.
If you can't think of a more perfect plan, you'll have to let Nilou show up.
In the afternoon, Lingphantom took me on a tour of the barracks, and Liya followed. Captain Angus followed with several soldiers.
I am still thinking about how to force the two communities to negotiate, and I have not bothered to inspect the barracks.
The Fish-People are adept at fighting in the water, and now they occupy the island in the middle of the lake, which is a difficult position to defend.
But the pig-people are physically strong, and more importantly, there are quite a few of them. Without using the army, I alone could not guarantee that I would be able to rush in unscathed and capture their leader.
"Report! Two adults ......"
A soldier came over and saluted me, then looked at me, then at Psychic.
The Phantom glanced at me and said to the soldier:
"Now he's in command, report something to him."
Hearing the phantom words, the soldier turned to me again.
"Report to the hero, the pig-people warriors are gathering."
Pig-people warriors assembled?
This is the rhythm of the fight, but it should be an attack on the Fish-People. Because the purpose of both races is to be an island in the middle of the lake.
"Keep watching, and report to me as soon as anything happens."
"Yes!" The soldier said yes and retreated.
Angus stepped aside and said:
"My lord, the pig people are preparing for war, should their subordinates transfer cavalry to support?"
Spirit Fantasy says:
"There's no need, we've already retreated ten miles, the Pig People Clan won't come to attack us, their purpose is the Holy Lake, and they must be preparing to attack the Fish People Clan."
She's got everything I want to say.
I had no choice but to say:
"Psychic Lord is right, I think so too. There is no need to bring in cavalry, but just in case, let the cavalry team be on standby, and let the soldiers here also be more vigilant, and add some more sentry posts. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, two soldiers gave the order.
If the two of them fight, will I have a chance?
"Phantom Lord, when the Pigmen go on an expedition, will their leader lead the team into battle, or will they sit in the camp?"
"As far as I know, nine times out of ten, their leaders are leading their troops to the battlefield."
"Oh, that's a pity."
I shrugged helplessly, a little disappointed. It would be nice if their leader stayed in the camp.
Psychic asked:
"Does Chen Yingying have any plans?"
I looked at the soldiers behind me, and there should be no undercover agents among them. After all, the three forces belong to different races, and those who can follow are more trustworthy people.
Turning back to the psychic spirit, I spoke my thoughts.
"Actually, it's just a simple idea. If the pig-man leader stays at camp, I can sneak in and catch him when their army attacks the middle of the lake and the camp is empty. Then force him to negotiate. ”
"Are you sure?" Psychic asked.
"Even if I can't catch him, I'll be able to get out of the way."
I'm still confident in this, since the pig-people are not monsters, then no matter how strong their physique is, they will not be more troublesome than monsters.
"Then I can tell you a very useful piece of information."
"What information?"
"As far as I know, the Pig-People fight under the command of their leader, but the major affairs of the clan are decided by the patriarch. That old pig man has limited mobility, and he will definitely not leave the camp easily. ”
"Well, very useful information indeed."
Damn, don't tell me such critical information sooner.
Since it was their old patriarch who decided the big thing, it would be easy to do.
"Captain Angus."
"In!"
"Send a team of scouts to investigate the situation of the pig-man camp, and when their brigade leaves, come back and report to me on the remaining troops."
"Yes!"
Evening.
The scouts reported that the pig-people army was gone. There were only a hundred warriors left in their camp to guard them, and there were many ordinary pigmen, mostly sowmen and piglets.
I asked Angus to lead the cavalry to provoke outside the pig-people camp and draw the remaining pig-people guards away.
After all, we should try to avoid killing, and this is the only way to think of for the time being.
"Liya, let's go, let's go get that old pigman."
As I spoke, I walked out of the tent.
"Wait," said the psychic as he stopped me.
"I'll go too."
It is more difficult to catch their patriarch without killing the pig people, and the person who goes must have enough self-protection ability. Psychic is just an ordinary human warrior, and it may not be good for her to come along.
I thought for a moment and said:
"Don't go, I'll go with Liya enough."
She raised her eyebrows, glared at me and said:
"Are you looking down on me?"
"Of course not......"
"Then let me go with me."
I fell silent and looked into her eyes silently, and she stared straight at me.
There was persistence in her eyes, and it seemed that she was determined to follow.
"Well, you'll have to be careful when the time comes, I may not be able to spare my hands to protect you, if ......"
"Don't worry, I don't need your protection."
With that, she turned and walked out of the tent.
"Wait." I stopped her.
She turned to look.
"What?"
As I walked forward, I took off my coat, revealing the black armor inside.
"What do you want to do?" Psychic suddenly turned crimson and stared at me with a wary expression.
She doesn't think I'm trying to do anything bad to her, does she?
I took off the black armor I was wearing and said:
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just ......"
Smack-
Before I could finish, she slapped me.
"Hey, why are you slapping me again? I just wanted to give you this gear for self-defense. ”
I yelled unconsciously, and the clay man was also angry.
On the way to Marina City, she slapped me once, and that time I talked about it myself, and this time she slapped me indiscriminately.
"I'm sorry, I ......"
She looked at me stunned and didn't finish her sentence.
I let out a sullen breath and handed the black armor to her, but my tone was still unpleasant:
"Here you go!"
"I'm sorry ......"
She hung her head and apologized again, like a little girl who had made a mistake.
Looking at her self-reproachful appearance, my anger gradually decreased.
Having said that, what I just did was misleading. Thinking of this, I also blamed myself a little, maybe I shouldn't have yelled at her like that.
"Take it, although it's just ordinary equipment, it's better than nothing, I hope it can protect you."
My tone softened.
"Thank you!"
She hesitated for a moment, but finally took the armor, but her pretty face was full of embarrassment and guilt.
"I'll go out with Liya and wait for you outside the tent first, and you can change into armor here yourself and come out."
After thinking about it, I thought I should say something more to eliminate her embarrassment and guilt, but I really couldn't think of any tactful words, so I had to turn my back to her halfway and say:
"It was my fault just now, and that action is indeed easy to misunderstand, but I didn't explain it clearly in advance, so you don't have to care."
With that, I took Liya and walked outside the tent to wait.
Soon after, the curtain was lifted, and the Phantom walked out.
I glanced at her and put a smile on my face, hoping to let her know that I wasn't mad at her.
"Let's go." I spoke softly, then turned and walked in the direction of the stables.
Not far from the outside of the pig-man camp, you can see that the camp made of wooden fences is full of tents, many sow people and pigmen are gathered around piles of bonfires, only a few pig people warriors are guarding the gate, and there is only a small group of soldiers patrolling.
It seems that the IQ of the pig people is not high, and if it is a human military camp, it is definitely impossible to have only such a little combat power to guard the camp.
I dismounted and walked with the spirit to the camp gate.
A pigman warrior raised his spear in his hand, pointed to my nose and asked:
"Stop, what are you doing?"
"I'm a hero, and I want to discuss something with you elders."
Although there is not much hope, I still want to try to see if I can communicate normally first, and if I can't do it again, it can be regarded as a salute before the soldiers.
"We don't have anything to negotiate with the cunning humans, get out."
Although his words were menacing, he did not attack us as soon as he spotted us, but tried to drive us away.
It seems that there is no inextricable hatred between the two ethnic groups, and there is still the possibility of consultation.
I clasped my fist at him and said:
"This pigman brother ......"
"Get out!"
His head was a pig's head, so I couldn't see any expression, but I could tell from his tone that he didn't welcome us.
It seems that the spirit is right, the pig people are indeed arrogant and difficult to communicate.
I was about to speak, when another pig-headed man came forward with a large knife and shouted through the wooden fence:
"Why don't you get out of here? If I hadn't seen that you didn't look like warriors, I would have cut you down a long time ago. ”
As soon as the words ended, the patrol team happened to pass by.
One of the pigmen suddenly stretched out his hand to the spirit and shouted:
"I've seen her, she's a human general."
"Catch her!"
"Don't let them run!"
I took a dozen steps back at the same time as the Spirit.
The wooden fence was opened, and a dozen pigman warriors rushed forward, mostly armed with broadswords and axes.
Phew-
A flaming meteor arrow fires up and plunges into the ground not far in front of the pigman warrior, blasting a hole in the ground.
This is me who asked Leah to hide in a tree not far away, using the power of the Mithril Bow as a deterrent.
The power of the arrow did make them pause for a moment.
But only a moment later, the captain of the pigman who led the patrol raised his big knife in his hand and shouted:
"For the sake of the people!"
After drinking, he took the lead and rushed over.
Immediately afterwards, the rest of the pigman warriors behind him also rushed towards us shouting "for the sake of the people".
Aren't they afraid of death?
I moved and rushed towards the captain of the pigmen. As he was about to charge, his right hand swung straight at his head in a fist.
The wind of his fist was howling, but he did not dodge or dodge, and his hands raised his big knife and slashed at me head-on.
If this punch hits him in the head, maybe it will kill him directly, which will be contrary to the original intention. And if I were to be slashed by him, I would definitely get hurt.
I had no choice but to use my left foot as a support, dodge the broadsword sideways, and at the same time retract my fist and slam the broadsword away with one palm.
