vs 238 Why did you come?
Masae lifted the rattan basket full of human heads from the corner of the house again. The basket was very large, and there were too many heads, and even if he was burly and strong, he had difficulty holding it with both hands. simply dragged it all the way to Tianhao, and in the simplest way, directly grabbed the bottom and upper edge of the basket and overthrew it, and a large number of hideous-looking human heads mixed with bloodstains rolled down to the ground like watermelons.
This kind of thing is not a big deal in the eyes of the northern barbarians, it is normal. In any battle, murder is killed, and the head of the dead is the best means of showing one's bravery and merit. But in the eyes of the white southerners, this was not the case at all, the sailors were so frightened that they trembled, not that they had never seen dead people, but like this suddenly all over the ground, it felt like they had come to hell in an instant, and then look at the giant guards who were watching around, especially the Broken Tooth, which looked like a pig, and was fierce, and there were two large fangs raised high from the lips, and the monster with bad intentions and cold eyes released in the eyes, and it was already very good that they were not scared to death on the spot.
Tianhao stared at the pale-faced second mate, and his calm voice was cold: "Find out the captain's head." ”
It's not a game, it's a method he uses to verify if the other person is lying.
The second officer knelt on the ground, lying on his stomach like a dog, holding the heads in both hands and bringing them to his eyes to carefully identify them. He looked so seriously that his fingers brushed away the dead man's hair, staring at every inch of his skin with an almost perverted gaze. Everyone was afraid of death, and he didn't want to let the young savage ogre in his chair go berserk and turn himself into a delicious dish.
After more than ten minutes, the captain's head was finally found. Tianhao asked the sailors to come forward to identify them in turn, and everyone said that the second mate was not mistaken, this was indeed the captain.
Zhengjiang stood next to him with a little twist, and his expression was not very natural. Of course, there could have been no covert dealings between him and the white Southerners. Masae remembers very well that as soon as the broadside battle began, he brandished a long knife and cut off this guy's head...... I knew that he was the captain of this ship, and I would definitely not do this, at most, I would cut off his legs, let him taste some hardship, and then bring it back to the honorable lord.
Tianhao was a little irritable, and his eyes became more and more gloomy. This accident is very different from what he imagined: when he was in Pointe-Noire, Tianhao carefully checked the mud templates of the Royal Archive, and asked the relevant personnel about the sea, and both historical records and answers showed that the white southerners had never penetrated deep into the northern continent along the coastline.
This is clearly not a constraint caused by a lack of nautical skills. The Obsidian is a very good brig, fast and safe, suitable for crossing the oceans. The reason why the white people in the South failed to secure sea supremacy with a large number of warships for a long time, and then launched an attack from the rear of the barbarians by means of a landing of marines, was entirely because of the great difference in the strength of individual races, and the difficulty of weapons to play a decisive role in the outcome of the war.
In the cold-weapon war of hand-to-hand combat, the southern whites were no match for the barbarians at all.
Luckily, they made gunpowder early and developed muskets. Tianhao felt that this was most likely the same way of memory retention as the genetics of the northern barbarians. However, due to various conditions, the musket power of the white people in the south was limited, and decades later, they still used extremely primitive arquebuses, and even the gunpowder formula did not change at all.
He had taken a closer look at the gun that the Obsidian was carrying, and it was made entirely of bronze rather than more advanced steel. The ancient front-loading guns, round solid shells have limited lethality, and it is almost impossible for a single cannon to play a role in naval battles, not so much a weapon, but rather a deterrent to the other side, and at the same time, it can also give a little psychological comfort to the people on board, and it is better than nothing.
Of course, it is not completely impossible to assemble a large fleet and land in the rear of the barbarians. However, it is extremely difficult to do so, and it has to be done at great cost. Tianhao calculated that with the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the white people in the south, there could not be less than 30,000 people across the sea at a time, and the follow-up personnel replenishment must be completed within a month in order to stabilize the temporary stronghold established in the early stage.
Fighting a war is not just about sending troops over, and without sufficient logistical support, no matter how many people go, they will die.
Fortunately, the white people of the south founded a total of five states: the Saxon Kingdom, the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of the Golden Lily, the Kingdom of the Rhine, and the Kingdom of the Vikings. Although the five kingdoms formed an alliance to deal with the threat from the north of the continent, they did not have the same orders as each other, and it was difficult to unify them in a short period of time.
In addition to this, the Holy See also used a strong military force to exist alone outside the Five Kingdoms.
Under such circumstances, even if the navies of various countries are combined to form an alliance fleet, disputes will arise due to the different interests of each country.
With such a premise and such a background, the "Obsidian" avoided all kinds of violations and appeared on the sea only a few days away from Rock City, which couldn't help but think deeply.
But the only captain who knew the inside story was beheaded by Zhengjiang, a fool.
Tianhao didn't think the second mate was lying. The secret is always known as little as possible, and if even the second mate knows the inside story, there is no so-called secret.
Why did the Obsidian come to this place?
It's as inconceivable as a person in his right mind walking into a trap with his feet raised.
A grim gaze swept across the audience, and Tianhao instructed Zhengjiang in a calm tone: "Put away the heads on the ground." ”
He then moved his body and pointed to the shortest sailor in the crowd: "You, come out." ”
It was a slender young man, and judging by his age, he should have been the youngest of them all.
He was wrapped in a red and black plaid turban, his legs, feet and arms were very thin, the large sailor's suit was loose on his body, his expression was a little hesitant, his trembling fingertips showed that he was in fear, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he stood there without moving.
Tianhao didn't want to waste time on these people. He glanced at Broken Tooth, snapped his fingers, and issued an order in the barbarian language: "Go, get him." ”
Broken Tooth walked over with a hideous face, grabbed his shoulder like a chicken, and carried him off the ground with one hand. The poor young man struggled desperately, but he was no match for Broken Tooth.
"Little white skin, you look delicious. Hahahaha! Broken Tooth deliberately carried him in front of him, spewing out a strong stench from his wide open mouth, seeing that this young man's face instantly became bloodless, Broken Tooth was greatly satisfied, he smiled and put it in front of Tianhao, and pressed his shoulder hard, forcing him to kneel.
Young people can't understand the words of broken teeth, but they can understand some of the meaning they want to express through their facial expressions.
Tianhao looked at each other.
After a long time, he lowered his voice and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Why don't you keep talking?" ”
This is a young man with a delicate appearance and extremely white skin. He was very different from the other sailors, looking thin, and a few pretty strands of blonde hair glittered in the sun under his turban.
This question is not untargeted, when Zhengjiang walked into the room with everyone, Tianhao carefully observed everyone. The second mate and the man who had identified the captain's head had been questioned before, and the others had more or less said a few words, or exclaimed and lamented, but the young sailor kept his lips closed and remained silent.
Tianhao stared at his beautiful turquoise eyes, "You are challenging my authority. Or do you think I'm nothing remarkable, and that the legendary barbarians are actually just that, neither terrible nor vicious, and even polite and give you aristocratic treatment? ”
The corners of his eyes twitched, and his gaze was visibly wavering, but it was immediately masked by a firmness of unknown origin.
"It seems that you are not going to say anything to me about this ship and about yourself." Tianhao put his left hand on his knee and sat upright: "Okay, anyway, it's almost time, I'd better determine the dinner menu first, eat and drink to my heart's content, and then continue this boring game." ”
Raising his hand, his upturned index finger crossed the young man kneeling in front of him, and slowly moved on the group of sailors in the middle of the room, Tianhao lightly opened his lips and teeth, and chanted the words: "It's him, it's him, it's him, our hero, little Nezha......"
I read a word, nodded a person's head, and read it three times in a row, and my fingertips finally settled on an unlucky guy in order.
"That's him." Tianhao deliberately moved his cheeks, revealing a hungry look, and his English pronunciation was unusually clear: "Chop off his legs, cut them into thin strips, fry them in butter, and add more minced garlic." Tell the cook to add cream to his bone marrow and eyes, and put less salt, so that the salad will taste good. Then there is his head, which must be kept alive until dinner is served, so that his brain is fresh enough...... Well, that's pretty much it, you can do the rest by yourself, let the people below share a point, and it's almost enough to eat. ”
In fact, the barbarians did not have such a terrible recipe at all, purely out of Tianhao's own evil taste and intimidation.
He repeated what he had just said in the barbarian language.
Broken Tooth walked over with a grin, grabbed the poor fellow, and dragged him out of the crowd, he let out a terrible scream of despair, struggled desperately, but could not resist, and was forced out of the room by Broken Tooth, the sound getting farther and farther away.
Tianhao condescendingly looked at the young man kneeling on the ground, smiled faintly, and said in English: "You are very young and tender, you will be my breakfast tomorrow." ”
Despite the fear in his heart, the young man disguised himself well, and even made an inviolable appearance. He raised his head and made a stubborn voice that refused to admit defeat: "You did it on purpose...... If you're really hungry, there's no need to say those words in our language. ”
A trace of anger flashed in the depths of Tianhao's eyes, he raised his foot, stepped on the other party's shoulder heavily, controlled his strength, just pressed his slightly immature face down, but did not step on the ground and flattened it.
He let out a grim smile: "Just because you don't want to eat doesn't mean you can't eat, and just because you don't have an appetite for the time being doesn't mean you'll never be hungry." Actually, you know very well that I wanted to know your secrets from the beginning...... Well, the word "you" doesn't seem appropriate, so can you tell me why there is a woman in the middle of a group of sailors? And she is so young and has an aristocratic temperament that is out of place with others? ”
The young man who was trampled on the ground suddenly raised his head, his blue eyes flashing with disbelief. His body began to tremble violently, exuding fear and despair that he had never experienced before.
"My men are all men. Although your looks and figure don't match their aesthetics, they don't mind having a few intimate encounters with a Caucasian woman that transcend friendship. Tian Hao showed hideousness in his smile: "I promise that you will conceive a barbarian cub within an hour, one a year, and sometimes twins, or triplets." ”
"You can't do that." She was trembling all over, speaking extremely fast, and her pale face was bloodless.
"I'm the lord, and I'm in charge here." Tianhao bent down and gently hooked the green and pale face with his fingers, as if it was a poor stag that was shot by a bow and arrow and fell to the ground dying, unable to resist and could only endure the ravages of fate: "You only have one chance to choose." ”
The perception ability that has been strengthened many times is very strong, and Tianhao has long found out that she is actually a woman. Even though she does a good job of mimicking men, being as rough as a real sailor and keeping things normal even when their bodies collide with each other, there are still plenty of details that reveal her true gender.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man in his forties rushed out of the crowd and shouted in a frightened, but unusually determined tone, "I can tell you all the secrets, please spare her, my lord." ”
