(9) Be prepared
"I didn't expect that the material life in this world is not as scarce as I imagined, and the variety is almost worthy of the Age of Discovery."
Ice Hunt walked home with a muttering to himself, he had just politely excused Little Hearn and the village chief to continue to stay, on the grounds that he was worried about the little ghost at home who had no one to take care of, but in fact, Ice Hunt just didn't have the energy to accompany the middle-aged man and the old man to continue chatting.
One is because there is no one around to talk because of the long-term voyage, and the other is simply chattering in old age.
And in the sailor's camp, Ice Hunt enjoyed the high-grade food of this world for the first time, the shape of this world's territory is exactly the same as the territory of the real world, but the area has been reduced by nearly ten times, plus the bonus of functional buildings, so the people here have long started ocean voyages, and discovered new continents, bringing new livestock, crops and minerals.
This made American crops such as tomatoes and corn appear on people's tables very early, of course, there is no such place as Wuyu Village.
"Now that the New World has been discovered, why not start colonizing?" Ice Hunter asked a question that puzzled him.
After the discovery of the New World, the Europeans experienced bloody and rapid colonial accumulation, and finally took the lead in completing the industrial revolution and entering the industrial age, establishing their hegemony in this era, and here the situation seems to have changed differently.
"Huh? In fact, after just coming into contact with the local natives, many lords did want to colonize, but they all failed. The locals also have their own functional buildings, which are also bonus, and their military power is impressive. β
It is the case that the American continent here is inhabited by four powerful peoples, who also have their own national identity.
The Iroquois, whose main territory is in the northernmost part of the New World (i.e., the northeastern United States and Canada), are the most civilized people, with Iroquois bulletproof shields that can easily block bows, crossbows, muskets, and even siege weapons, and their Forest Prowler troops can attack all enemies without knowing they are nearby until they strike.
Living in the great plains of the western part of the New World, the Sioux are an extremely fierce cavalry people, and even the Franks, who are also known for their cavalry strength, dare not claim victory, and the Tasyunkan Prowler troops under the leadership of the War Chief are the strongest cavalry group in the New World.
The Aztecs living in the southern plate of the New World were the least civilized, they were not even willing to fight on horses, although they did not have cavalry, but they had the most fearsome brute infantry, these warriors liked to decorate their helmets with the fur, feathers, and bones of their prey to show their bravery, the lowest coyote guerrillas could easily knock over four or five two-handed swordsmen or heavy pikemen, and the most advanced skeleton warriors were as strong as monsters, And the most terrifying thing about the Aztecs was their ancient and bloody ritual of sacrifice, in which they would take their captives to the pyramids and disembowel, and take out the entrails to sacrifice to their terrible gods.
The Mayans are one of the three known 'empireal' powers, and although their national power has declined, they are definitely not something that a group of arrogant colonist lords can fight against when they integrate the power of the other three peoples, so in this world, the ambitious lords who came here with their troops were either chopped off with axes by the Iroquois or used by the Aztecs for human sashimi.
"This world is really chaotic, because of the help of functional buildings, the Native Americans were able to successfully counterattack the colonists and beat them all over the ground to find their teeth, and that Sioux man, shouldn't he be the kind of Ola Ola Charge guy in the western?"
Ice Hunt, who was poured a few glasses of wine by Little Hearn, his head is a little dizzy now, he patted his head hard, hoping to shoot out this uncomfortable feeling, but unfortunately it didn't work, Ice Hunt shook his head helplessly, he suddenly saw two sneaky guys walking towards him, they followed the house to hide their figures, and at a glance they knew that they were bad guys.
"I didn't even find them at this distance, was it really because of the numbing of the senses by alcohol?" Ice Hunt continued to move forward quietly.
Ice Hunter was quietly following the two pirates who had just hid Dongdong, whispering as they followed the red-haired man.
"What day is it? Why are there so many people traveling at night? After the two little girls, a little ghost appeared. What to do? β
"What else can I do? This little imp is worthless, and he killed something with one sword! With that, the pirate slowly drew his sword, quickened his pace and quietly approached the target, and when he was still five or six paces away from the opponent, he suddenly pounced on the seemingly unsuspecting Ice Hunter.
The pirate thought that his sudden stab would definitely be able to bring out the red-haired imp, but as if the other party had eyes on his back, he gently moved his body to the left, allowing the sharp sailor knife to pass through his armpit and stab him in the air.
Then, Ice Hunter quickly turned around and smashed an elbow on the pirate's face, directly discounting the bridge of his nose, and then a side kick made the guy who hadn't had time to scream go into shock, and the other pirate saw that the situation was not good, turned around and ran, but he didn't run far before a knife passed through his throat, the unlucky guy fell to the ground silently, and the blood gushing out made the surrounding night wind carry an unnatural fishy smell, and Ice Hunter walked over expressionlessly and pulled out the sailor's knife that he threw from the corpse.
He carefully wiped the blood from the dead man's clothes, then picked up another sailor knife from the pirate's hand, pinned the two trophies to his body, and the red-haired boy sneered and walked towards the pirate in shock, and then stomped on the other's fingers.
Ten fingers to the heart, the pirate was woken up in pain at that time, but when he was about to scream, he found that a knife had been attached to his neck, the other party's meaning was very obvious, if he screamed, he would not hesitate to slash his neck.
"Say! Who are you? Why are you attacking me? Ice Hunter saw that this guy knew each other very well, so he immediately began to torture him.
The pirate was cunning, and he knew that if he told the truth, he would not survive at all, so he began to make up nonsense, anyway, it was not uncommon for foreign sailors to harass the local population, anyway, now he had to get out of it first, and then think about other things.
"I ...... I'm a sailor on the fleet, and I'm just trying to steal a little money for drinks...... Karma! As soon as the pirate finished telling the lie, Ice Hunter immediately cut off his nose with a knife, and the pirate instinctively wanted to scream, but he was forced by the murderous aura that suddenly erupted from the red-haired boy's body, and he suddenly didn't dare to scream again, only let out a short hoarse moan, and his life was much more important than his nose.
"Uncle, tell the truth. Otherwise, I'll pick your eyeballs out next time. Ice Hunt's expression is very strange now, obviously putting on a very cold look, but the murderous aura on his body is extremely excited, which means that Ice Hunt's heart is now excited, and in the eyes of the pirates, this red-haired boy is no longer a human, but a bloodthirsty devil.
"I'm sorry! I really just want to grab a little buck! Spare me! "In order to survive, the pirates can only grit their teeth and hold on.
Ice Hunter frowned, he was a little unsure of his mind now, if this guy was really a sailor who wanted to rob with evil intentions, it should be handed over to Chief Hearn to deal with, and there had to be a prisoner to explain the matter.
Just as the pirates could almost escape from under the Ice Hunting Knife, a cat meow came from the grass, and a tiger cat scurried out of the grass. It walked around the still twitching corpse of the pirate and came to Ice Hunt's side, crawling down his feet and onto his head, the cat barking as it stared at the pirate lying motionless on the ground with its green cat eyes in the night.
The pirate's heart was weakened, and soon the cat stopped barking, and the grim expression on Ice Hunt's face disappeared with it, and the red-haired boy looked at the pirate on the ground with a sunny smile, which made him feel that there was still hope for his life, so he also smirked.
In the next second, Ice Hunt, who was smiling at the pirate, slashed off his head, leaving the ugly smile on his face forever.
"There are pirates who want to attack here? And there are still inside lines in the fleet? Kazan, thanks to you this time. I almost got scammed. β
Ice Hunter gently scratched the base of the tiger's ear, causing it to purr in comfort, and then he walked in the direction of Kazan with his knife.
"Dongdong's safety is the most important thing, first rescue the unlucky little guy, and then remind the surrounding villagers to be vigilant."
With Kazan leading the way, the place where Knock was being held was easy to find, and in order to make the play more realistic during the plunder, the two pirates threw the little Mao Yu into an abandoned house - there are many such houses in the Foggy Rain Village, and when the big group of pirates came to plunder, they just had to put a fire in this house and take the little guy out.
When Ice Hunter finds Dongdong, the little guy is hanging from the beam of the house with his mouth gagged, but he ...... Judging by her performance, the little guy didn't seem to realize that she had been kidnapped, at best she knew that she was dragged here by two bad guys and hung up, and then the two bad guys left, leaving her here alone, Dong Dong didn't think about what would happen at all.
"Smirk! Giggle! Giggle! You've been kidnapped, and you can still giggle. Ice Hunt muttered angrily and put the little guy down.
"Don't ice hunters like smiles? Then Dong Dong won't laugh in the future. "Ice Hunt's fierce appearance makes the little guy a little aggrieved.
"You little nerd, use your brains. I didn't say I hated to see you laugh, but don't laugh when others are worried about you. β
Looking at Dongdong's aggrieved appearance, the little fire that Bing Hunt had just now was extinguished at once, and he said helplessly to this stupid child.
"It's a very rude act to giggle when someone is worried about you, so don't smirk like that in the future."
Then, Ice Hunter carried the little guy behind his back, and when the pirates were about to attack, he didn't dare to let Knock Knock run around.
Xiao Mao Yu'an was lying quietly behind Bing Hunt's not wide back, she smelled a very bad smell on this red-haired villain, this smell made her feel a little scared, Dong Dong unconsciously hugged the other party. So that you can feel at ease.
This smell is the smell of fresh blood, and don't forget that Ice Hunter stabbed two pirates before he could save Dongdong, and Ice Hunter has long been accustomed to the smell of death, even though he is not yet sixteen years old, but Dongdong is afraid of this due to two bad experiences.
One time was in some unknown place.,Inexplicably blood-stained mother.,The other time was in the MC world.,The red-haired villain who was beaten by Mr. Naraku, the 'lonely big villain' like a rotten cloth bag-is the boy who is carrying her now.γ
"Ice Hunting...... Are you hurt? As soon as she thought of this, Xiao Maoyu immediately became nervous, and she asked worriedly.
"Me? Wounded? β¦β¦ Oh! I wasn't hurt. Knock knock, your nose is really smart. β
Bing Hunt was stunned at first when he heard this, and then quickly realized why the little guy asked like that.
"It's just two thieves, and after holding a weapon, I feel like I'm just a strong man's scum...... Anyway, thank you for your concern. Knock knock! β
After hearing Bing Hunt's answer, Xiao Maoyu suddenly realized something in her heart, she shook the red-haired boy's clothes and called his name again and again,
"Ice Hunt ~ Ice Hunt! Ice Hunt ~ Ice Hunt! β
"Ah...... What's the matter with you? β
There was a little impatience in the red-haired swordsman's tone, he was just thinking about how to deal with pirates.
"Ice Hunting...... That one...... I won't giggle anymore in the future. β
What is she trying to say? The red-haired boy rarely didn't understand what Xiao Maoyu meant.
"Thank you for worrying about me...... Ice Hunting. β
'......' Bing Hunt's expression was a little embarrassed and laughing for a while, and soon he exhaled and said to Xiao Maoyu.
"Actually, there's a little bit of anger, and I'm also lost by your stupidity! Never mind...... Pay attention next time. Also, don't you learn pretty fast, little one? Pretty smart, isn't it? β
"Hey, hey, hey~ Dongdong has always been smart!"
After being praised, Xiao Maoyu, who had just said that she would not giggle in the future, immediately showed a silly smile.
It seems that there is still a long way to go to cure the four bad roots of this little guy's stupidity, stupidity, stupidity, and stupidity.
On the way to free Dongdong, Ice Hunter revises his plan, and he decides to inform the sailors in the camp to get ready.
Because more heavily armed sailors play a more role in fighting pirates than unarmed villagers, although Ice Hunter killed the pirates directly without asking how many pirates there were, but this kind of thing only needs to make a little speculation to conclude - will the pirates who dare to make a move on the lord's fleet and plan to ransack the village be a gang of twenty or thirty small miscellaneous fish?
"What? Pirates coming? When Hearn heard Ice Hunt's report, his first thought was not to believe it, but after thinking about it carefully, he immediately understood that it might be true.
"Hmm...... These two sailor knives were only used by the sailors I recruited during the voyage, and the sailors recruited from the territory all used standard weapons produced by the territory's special blacksmiths, and they were really mixed in at that time? β
"Pirates have pirate rules, and the prey of the Lord cannot be touched...... I said, why is it so peaceful along the way, and the feelings have been targeted? Treat us like predetermined fat? β
"Chief Hearn, put it here first, and I'll tell the villagers to be vigilant."
"Go quietly, there may be other informants here, don't startle the snake."
As he spoke, Hearn pointed to the improvised weapons rack on the side.
"Find a handy weapon and bring it with you, pay attention to safety on the road, and go quickly."
After Ice Hunt left, Hearn Jr. called a few of his relatives to arrange.
"Let the brethren get up and get dressed, and contact the merchants to get ready, and bring people to control the new sailors, and then bring people to protect the flagship, so that no one can take advantage ......of the loopholes."
ββ¦β¦ Finally, push out all the big guys I bought this time, and I'm going to let this group of pirates come and go! β
