Chapter 16: The Fire Phoenix

"Something is wrong! It seems that there is no killing country in history! Even though I was taught history by my math teacher, I can't be wrong about that! On the way back to Crescent Island, Shi Jinshui said to himself in his heart, and since he is not mistaken, it means that this killing country does not exist in history, and it is likely to be made by players like him. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info and look at the other party's current posture, it is obvious that it is to engage in rapid streaming, and this Mediterranean region may not be long before it will be bulldozed.

"Now that the enemy situation is unknown, we have to find out the situation as soon as possible so that we can come up with a strategy to deal with it!" After Shi Jinshui turned around the bow of the ship a few times, he summoned Habak and instructed him: "After you go back, you will take the fleet back to the Mediterranean region to find out the situation of the killing of the country, and by the way, hire a few more teams of Cretan archers for me to come back." ”

"Yes! My lord! ”

While Shi Jinshui and Habak were talking, there was a click, and a tattered raft floated out of nowhere and crashed into their battleship. After the two looked at each other in surprise, they looked down and found that there were more than a dozen people on top of the broken raft. Judging by the way these people are dressed, it is clear that they are also refugees who have fled.

"Quick! Save them all! ”

Under Shi Jinshui's order, the raft was quickly fished up, but to their surprise, the people on it were all dead, and from the chapped lips of these people, it could be seen that these people were dying of thirst because of lack of fresh water. This is also normal, after all, the sea is not one of those calm little ditches, with such a simple little raft, and lack of provisions, most of the end ends are either sinking halfway, or dying of thirst and starvation.

In order to avoid breeding the plague, Shi Jinshui was about to throw these corpses back into the sea, but just when he was about to give an order, a very faint cry of a baby suddenly came to his ears, he followed the sound to find it, and finally found a tightly wrapped baby girl under a woman's body, to his surprise, the corner of the baby girl's mouth, there were still a few drops of bright red blood.

"This..." Shi Jinshui looked up at the woman, and found that the corners of the other party's mouth were indeed a little red, and it seemed that the woman actually bit her tongue and saved the baby girl's life with her own blood, so that she did not die of dehydration like the other passengers on the raft.

Faced with this situation, he could only sigh at the greatness of his mother's love, and at the same time, he quickly asked the soldier to bring a pot of water and carefully fed it to the baby girl.

After being fed a few mouthfuls of water, the baby girl finally recovered a little bit of energy, her cry became a little louder, and a pair of pink little hands poked out of the swaddling clothes, waving them continuously, and finally grabbed a finger of Shi Jinshui tightly.

"I don't know where you're from? I don't know what your name is, but you can encounter such a catastrophe without dying, obviously a blessed child, I will call you Huofeng in the future, I hope you can be like the divine bird Phoenix, reborn from the fire, and usher in your new life! Looking at this cute little life in his arms, Shi Jinshui said softly.

And this incident also reminded Shi Jinshui that although his current nascent small faction could not attract those adult humans to settle down and become citizens, he could adopt those orphans who were not yet adults and had no stereotyped worldview, cultivate them from an early age, and instill in them the idea of loyalty to New Carthage and loyalty to himself, so that after a few years, he could have a group of truly loyal and reliable new citizens.

When Shi Jinshui and Habak rushed back to Crescent Island, they found that the port here had become a huge refugee camp, where refugees from all over the world gathered, and the noisy crying and noise made Shi Jinshui's brain ache faintly.

"My lord! Okay, good! Give me something to eat! We haven't been able to eat for two days. ”

"Come on! Save my son, he's dying! ”

"The world is about to be destroyed! Let's all wait to die! That demon from Germania is eroding this land little by little, bringing death and destruction to the world, which must be the punishment of the gods for us humans! ”

After being escorted by soldiers through the chaotic port, Habak turned to Shi Jinshui and asked, "My lord, should we distribute some food to these people?" ”

"No way!" Shi Jinshui replied with an extremely firm attitude, "Only if we give food can we get rewarded, if we give them food in vain now, it will only make our soldiers and slaves feel unfair, these people want to get food, only by paying their labor, it just so happens that I am also going to build some defenses on the island, I will arrange a little easier work for these people later." ”

After a pause, Shi Jinshui added: "But if anyone is willing to hand over those children who are not yet adults to us for adoption, then they can get free three meals a day without participating in labor." ”

"Your Excellency, you're finally back, look at how these hillbillies have ruined our good port! Hey! Where did this child come from? At this time, Obachi Ma also wore iron armor and rushed over in full armor.

"If they spoil you, you won't take the guards with you! Aren't there more than 200 soldiers in the city? As for this child, I picked it up on the road, and it looks like he is hungry, so hurry up and get me a cow. Shi Jinshui suddenly slapped the other party's head angrily as he spoke, and scolded: "Unload all these things on your body for me, it's not time for war yet!" What a death-scared ghost! Aren't you tired of wearing these things now? ”

However, after Shi Jinshui returned to the city, he found that he was not the only one who was nervous, the soldiers and slaves in the city began to become emotionally unstable, the soldiers were all checking their equipment over and over again, and the slaves were all a little absent-minded when they worked, whispering to each other.

Shi Jinshui pricked up his ears and listened, and found that what those slaves were discussing was indeed about the killing of the country.

"I used to think we were unlucky! Somehow, we were captured as slaves, but now it seems that we can be caught on this island by the current master, which is simply the greatest luck! ”

"Who's to say it isn't! I have to work every day here, but I don't have to worry about food and clothing! And there was meat in the meal, and the food was even better than what we had ever eaten in the tribe before! If we stay there now, we will probably be arrested by the barbarian king who killed the country. ”

"With your small physique, people won't catch it! People must have killed them directly, so as not to waste food, didn't they listen to those refugees? Every time the barbarian king Xiang Tian captured a city, he would slaughter all the useless old, weak, sick and disabled, and then leave the young and strong, and then according to the specialties of those people, part of them were incorporated into the army for artillery consumption, and the other part was thrown into the labor camp to produce and work for them, and make weapons and armor. Let's not talk about those cannon fodder, even those who were sent to the labor camp, there was no good end, there was not even as much food as livestock, and the daily work was heavy and heavy, and many people were exhausted to death after less than a month. ”

After listening to these people's discussions, Shi Jinshui couldn't help but sigh, the barbarian king who killed the country was really a ruthless character, and at the same time, he was also the essence of the war with the help of the war, and he took advantage of all the conditions that could be used, but this kind of play is obviously a huge consumption of the population, and perhaps when he unifies the Mediterranean region, the population of this region will be reduced by more than half.

"That guy, where the hell is he hitting now?" Holding the baby girl around, Shi Jinshui looked up to the east, he knew that there, there must be a player from the same world as him, who was wantonly wielding his sword of war, smashing opponents who dared to block him, and trying to climb towards the ultimate supreme throne.

At the same time, Xiang Tian, who was on the Thracian front, was looking at the map in front of him and muttering: "Rome, it's destroyed!" Greece is destroyed! Macedonia, extinguished! Thrace, too, perished! Who is next, Pontus, or Seleucus? ”

This man, who is called a demon by the various factions in the Mediterranean, does look like a man who has come out of hell, only to see that his height is about two meters three, and his bronze muscles seem to be made of steel, and at the same time, the hideous scars set off it full of evil energy. It can be seen that most of these wounds do not appear to be caused by humans. In fact, it is precisely like this, unlike Shi Jinshui, this player named Xiang Tian did not try to participate in the hegemony between various factions as soon as he landed in this game space, but alone, entered those sparsely populated deep mountains and old forests, fought with the most ferocious beasts for more than ten years, and finally trained himself into the most terrifying humanoid beast. As soon as he left the mountain, he challenged the old barbarian king of Germania, and in the end, he could only kill the old barbarian king and dozens of his tribe's fiercest personal guards by himself, and became the new barbarian king of Germania. And after becoming the leader of a faction, the measures he made were completely different from Shi Jinshui, because he was brave and fierce when he was a child, and he never studied seriously, so most of the scientific knowledge that was extremely important to the traverser was returned to his teacher a long time ago, so he didn't plan to play any farming from the beginning, and slowly develop. Instead, he chose the most violent and bloody way to accomplish his great cause of unification, that is, Push Stream. This method is also the most in line with his character, killing all the way, destroying all the way, erasing one faction and civilization after another from the map, and the sense of accomplishment is completely impossible for him to experience when he fought in the small county town of his hometown before.
