Chapter 2 Cannon Fodder
At this time, Shi Jinshui also saw clearly, and the one who rescued him was a strong man with dark skin and a height of more than 1.9 meters. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter the strong man dragged him from the lake to the shore, he kept looking at Shi Jinshui with a strange look.
Before Shi Jinshui was about to lose the strange eyes of the other party, the strong man opened his mouth and asked him, "Are you the god of water?" I just saw that you were glowing with white light, and in a flash you appeared from the surface of the lake. ”
Hearing the other party call himself the god of water, Shi Jinshui was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing happily: "Haha!" Water God, this is indeed my biggest goal in life, but I haven't reached this level yet, at most I can only be regarded as a water force! ”
"In order to finally achieve this goal, I have now set a small goal for myself, which is to unify your game world within a hundred years, complete the task given by the damn system, and return to the real world to continue the water sticker."
When Shi Jinshui was arrogant and arrogant, many villagers surrounded him, and one of them, a gray-haired, obscene-looking old man asked the strong man who rescued Shi Jinshui: "Luo Wen, who is this guy?" ”
"He said he was a water force."
"What! Water Force! It's not a serious thing to hear, and judging by his appearance, it's likely that he's a spy for the Romans, so I'll arrest him first for safety! ”
The old man looked very prestigious, and as he gave an order, several villagers immediately stepped forward, grabbed Shi Jinshui, and tied him firmly with ropes.
"Hey! What are you doing? Why arrest me? Why do you say I'm a spy for the Romans? Shi Jinshui, who was arrested by these villagers, felt extremely depressed, he couldn't understand how he was a yellow Asian, and he looked like a spy for the Romans. What Shi Jinshui didn't know was that most of the Romans in this era were black-haired and black-eyed, so it was no wonder that these Carthaginians would mistake him for a spy for the Romans.
Soon, Shi Jinshui was escorted back to the village by a group of villagers, and then locked in a horse shed, which naturally tasted bad, and almost fainted Shi Jinshui when he first came in.
After the villagers dispersed, Shi Jinshui tried to struggle for a while, and found that the rope was tied so tightly that he couldn't break free with his little strength. In desperation, he could only chatter with the system in his heart, hoping to divert his attention so that he would not faint to death in the stable by the smell.
"What kind of system, you deliberately played me, right? The first time I was near an army and I was trampled to death by a horse, the second time I was reborn on the surface of a lake and nearly drowned in labor, and now, thanks to you, I am once again a spy for the Romans, and I am about to embark on a painful life as a prisoner. ”
"And you haven't put much effort into the language of this NPC! These Carthaginians actually speak Chinese, and the old man just now speaks Mandarin even more standard than me! ”
Shi Jinshui said a lot here, but the system only replied coldly in the end: "Don't blame others for your bad luck, and the game you play is a Chinese version, so the people here naturally speak Chinese." ”
"Damn! Your explanation still makes sense! I was speechless! Then let me ask you, when we players enter the space, are we all the same as me, and we don't have a single soldier in our hands? ”
"Yes!"
"So how can we unify the whole picture? You're not going to want an otaku like me to fight on their own, right? If that's the case, my ten lives won't be enough! ”
"If you don't want to fight by yourself, you can go into politics or business, as long as you are not injured by external forces, the player's life in this space is unlimited, only with patience, you can accumulate a considerable wealth sooner or later, and then build your own army."
"Is the player's lifespan unlimited! Not bad! This is the only good news I've heard since you forced me into this system. ”
After learning that he had an infinite lifespan, Shi Jinshui's mood suddenly improved, and at the same time, he began to think about how to escape from this ghost place.
However, before Shi Jinshui could figure out a way to escape, a group of round shield cavalry with the banner of Carthage rushed into the village on horseback, and the leading cavalry captain did not wait for the horse to stop, so he shouted at the top of his voice: "The village chief come out for me, the governor has an order, and now there is a shortage of soldiers, let your village produce ten more young people." ”
"What! Ten more to come out, didn't you just pull ten away last month? After hearing the shouts of the cavalry captain, the obscene-looking old man greeted him with a sad face, and other villagers also surrounded him one after another, some asked those soldiers about the situation on the front line, and some inquired about whether their relatives who had joined the army were now alive or dead.
After a while, there were bursts of cries from the crowd, and it was clear that many of the villagers' relatives had died on the battlefield. Shi Jinshui watched all this from the sidelines, and felt a trace of sadness in his heart, Carthage had a chance to defeat Rome, and its famous general Hannibal even once fought near the city of Rome, but unfortunately because of his wishful thinking, he thought that he could force the Romans to stop fighting and negotiate peace, so he missed this excellent opportunity to destroy the Roman Republic. Just now Shi Jinshui observed the surrounding environment, and found that this should be somewhere in North Africa, which belongs to the base camp of Carthage, and now the Romans have hit their doorstep, which means that the extinction of the Carthage faction is not far away, Shi Jinshui does not know much about history, but he also knows that in the end, even if Hannibal himself came out, he could not prevent this from happening, and the Romans not only defeated the Carthaginian army in the end, but also reduced the remaining Carthaginians to slaves, making Carthage, a once glorious faction, completely disappeared in the long river of history. These villagers in front of them may soon be killed and captured by the Romans.
On the other side, the old man found that there were still only nine young men after making up all the mustaches, and finally in the urging of the cavalry captain, the old man's eyes rolled, and he suddenly pointed to Shi Jinshui, who was locked in the stable, and said, "My lord, do you think that guy is okay?" ”
The cavalry captain followed the other party's line of sight, and immediately saw Shi Jinshui who was locked there, he looked at the other party's body of search ribs and skin that was so tender that he could almost squeeze out the water, he was disgusted, but he turned his head and looked at the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled people in the village, and finally nodded helplessly, and agreed to let Shi Jinshui make up the number.
Due to the distance, Shi Jinshui didn't hear the conversation between the two clearly, and when a villager came over to open the stable and help him untie the rope on his body, he was still happy in his heart! I wonder if these guys have finally come to the fore and figured out that I'm not a spy for the Romans!
When he was taken to the nine strong men who had just been selected, he suddenly realized that he had actually been arrested and was going to be cannon fodder on the battlefield. This made the smile on his face immediately collapse, and he wanted to run, but after looking at those round shield cavalry, he estimated that his two legs would definitely not be able to run on four legs, so he could only extinguish this idea first, and then find other opportunities to slip away later.
Before leaving the village, the nine selected strong men all hurried to say goodbye to their families, because they probably knew that this time they might be more than lucky. At the same time, Shi Jinshui was holding a shabby linen dress in his hand, with a look of struggle and hesitation, this dress was given to him by the village elder to cover his body, but Shi Jinshui, who had a little cleanliness habit, looked at the unknown stains on the clothes, but he didn't want to wear such a dirty piece of clothing on his body.
"Stranger, what are you in a daze? Hurry up and get dressed and let's go! ”
Under the urging of the cavalry captain, Shi Jinshui could only endure the nausea and put the dirty clothes on his body, and then together with the nine strong men, he followed the round shield cavalry on this journey that was destined to have a bleak future.
