Section 138 Angry Order
"Slut, are you going to betray me?"
Irontooth's eyes were red, and his entire face was stained the same color by the splatters of blood. He threw away the still twitching corpse in his hand like garbage, and his fierce gaze locked on the maid who ran away, and issued orders to the guards waiting around the main hall.
"Catch her, or you'll all die!"
No matter how strong a woman is, she can't escape the fate of being besieged. She was quickly brought back, and she was so frightened that she was incontinent on the spot, screaming and begging frantically in the trembling as she looked at the iron teeth that were so twisted by blood and killing that she was so close that she was so scared that she couldn't incontinence on the spot.
"Spare me! Please, O king, spare me! ”
She didn't know what she was doing wrong.
Iron Fang wiped the blood from his face vigorously, and thick green tendons erupted on both sides of his forehead, as if countless earthworms were gathering and crawling there. He raised his right hand, and his slightly curved fingers nodded at the maid who was held down by the guards: "...... You...... You're just like them...... I have given you the best life, and all the women of the whole tribe envy you for the food you can get. However...... That's how you repay me. Gushanzhai, Miquan Village, Liankang Village...... You've broken your oath and betrayed with those guys, you'...... Must die! ”
He was agitated and spoke incoherently.
But the maid still understood the meaning of Iron Fang's words.
She immediately writhed and struggled like a loach, desperate to let out a hoarse scream: "You are mistaken, my lord. Not me...... It's not us! I'm different from them, I've been staying by your side, I'm not going anywhere, I don't know these things! ”
The strenuous exercise made Iron Tooth sweat, and the salty and bloody smell mixed together was very unpleasant. The fierce expression gradually faded from his face, and he stretched out his fingers and gently scraped the maid's cheek with his hard, slender nails: "You are no different from them. All women, all my daughters, all sworn allegiance to me...... But the result? ”
"Why didn't you report it to me?"
"Why didn't you know that those traitors were rebelling, but you couldn't bring back the news?"
"If you marry and have a husband, can you not want me as a king?"
His left hand grabbed the maid by the hair, and his right fist slammed into her face. Like a boxer training on a durable punching bag, again and again, the dull impact of flesh and bones shattering, her screams and cries went from high-pitched to debilitating until she was completely silent.
The anger was finally released, and Iron Tooth felt like the world was finally working a little bit as he wanted. His chest rose and fell violently, and he kept panting heavily, and the thick blood irritated his nostrils and eyes, and snot and tears flowed uncontrollably.
“…… Whew...... They are yours...... All shall be given to you. He took several steps back and sat down on his throne. Iron Tooth tilted his body and casually raised his hand to the corpses of the maids scattered around, issuing orders to the guards.
In this age of material scarcity, especially now that it is winter, nothing can be wasted.
The hall fell completely silent.
After venting, Iron Tooth felt a sense of emptiness in his body. He slowly adjusted his breathing, and squinted at the clan witch standing at the bottom of the side of the main hall, and let out a voice with infinite hatred.
"Spread the king's order, gather all the troops in the city, sweep away the rock village, and bring back the heads of those traitors for me."
The number of the pig people is not large. The total population of the entire group is about 500,000, which is the smallest of all the northern barbarian tribes.
The Iron Tooth rule has a population of 40,000. As the core settlement of the tribe, the number of inhabitants of Steel Tooth City is 12,000.
It is impossible for the people to be soldiers. Of course, this is the case for other tribes. If it is against the whites of the Upper Southern Continent, all the Pig people can become warriors in terms of physique.
There are 1,000 standing troops in the city of Steel Tooth, which is the result of years of painstaking management by Iron Tooth. They are true professional soldiers, including veterans who have retired from Suolong Pass, as well as experienced officers. The foreign employment has the feeling of the export of the labor population in the civilized era, and the iron tooth carefully selects the mercenaries of his own clan, leaving the strongest of them behind, and piecing together this army little by little.
They are truly armed to the teeth. All weapons and armor are crafted by the Ox Clan. Round shields, short swords, throwing spears, battle axes, bows and arrows...... The whole nine yards.
The only regret is that they can't be equipped with horses. It's not that Iron Tooth is reluctant to do this, but that the pigs are too tall and fat to carry them. Even the venerable King of Steel Teeth, Iron Tooth, usually has to face the same trouble when he goes out: he has no mounts, only ox carts or carriages.
It is not too much to describe the difficulty of forming this army as "smashing pots and selling iron". The pig tribe is not wealthy, and their appetite is amazing. In order to feed and keep these soldiers in combat, Iron Fang almost emptied the ministry.
The effort is proportional to the return. When this army became famous, there were more people who begged to be hired, and the commission increased exponentially. It is no exaggeration to say that Iron Tooth is very business-minded, and he has built a hen that can lay golden eggs with his own hands.
Of course, Steel Tooth City can dispatch a larger number of troops, but it is too backward in terms of quality and combat effectiveness. Iron Fang, who calmed down from his rage, thought it through: with the ability of this army, he could sweep away the rock village in a short time, kill all the traitors, and teach the damned Niu people a lesson.
The wizard stood still, as if deaf and unable to hear Iron Tooth's commands.
His face was full of thought, and he slowly turned around and bowed to the gloomy iron tooth leaning on the throne: "My lord, I don't think this matter can be handled simply, and the situation must be allowed to expand. ”
“…… Oh? The angry Iron Tooth was slightly stunned, he had expected the wizard to say something persuasive to keep him from sending troops, or to deal with it through diplomatic means. But listening to the other party's tone, things don't seem to be what I imagined.
"It's an act of betrayal, it's a rebellion." The solemn-looking wizard spoke sharply: "They must pay for it. ”
Then the conversation changed: "This matter is very serious, and it is an extreme contempt for the authority of the king. There are one and two, and maybe there are more people who have the same idea as the leader of the Gu cottage, Hei Yan. We can't arrest them one by one and open their stomachs to see what is going on in our hearts, but we can only deter them by other means. ”
The unhappiness in Iron Tooth's heart is gone. He looked at the wizard with an inquiring gaze and nodded slowly, "Go on." ”
"Therefore, this dispatch should never be done alone, but should involve more people from the entire Steel Fang Department." The wizard's expression was serious: "Let the various walled cities in the clan collectively send troops, and the king will set a number for you, and each walled city will send troops in proportion." ”
Iron Tooth frowned, not very understanding this: "You said that all the walled cities sent troops together, why is this?" ”
The total population of the steel tooth division is about 40,000. In addition to Steel Tooth City, the large and small walled cities of the tribe are scattered around, and it is not easy to quickly deliver news in this era when transportation is basically relied on. What's more, it was very difficult to order the various walled cities to send troops collectively, the assembly of troops, the consumption of various materials, and the arrangement of marching routes. In terms of complexity, the Guards, far more than the Iron Tooth, went out alone.
"The rebellion of the three villages of Gushan, Miquan, and Liankang has shown that there are many people who have ill intentions against you, the king. I am deeply concerned about this. There must be others who are plotting to rebel. They must be taught a lesson in their identity and mentality. It is indeed troublesome for all the walled cities to send troops together, but as long as they have killed people on the battlefield and cut off the heads of those who dare to offend the majesty of the king, their hands will be stained with blood, even if they want to rebel in the future, they have to think carefully who is willing to accept them? ”
The wizard is not old, but these words are really old and serious, and they are very considerate.
Iron Tooth narrowed his eyes and leaned sideways, his palms stroking back and forth between his forehead and the top of his head, his uncertain gaze indicating that he was thinking, but he couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
He was indeed a tyrannical ruler, but not a stupid fool.
It is necessary to pay attention to the opinions of the sorcerer who is the spokesman of the gods, not to mention that these words just now really spoke to Iron Tooth's heart, and coincided with some of his thoughts.
The Sanzhai rebellion led by Gu Shanzhai caused an extremely bad impact on the steel tooth department. The well-connected Black Tooth sent letters to many of the walled city leaders, some of whom turned in the letters directly, and some of whom hid them secretly...... The human heart cannot be seen through, and it is impossible to see red or black on the table. If you think about it, the wizard still has a point: since you can't make a fundamental judgment, you can simply tie everyone with ropes and firmly tie them to the chariot you control.
Let them join forces and let them rush to the front, and order them to cut off the heads of all the cattle tribesmen.
Breaking the village and killing people, leaving not an inch of grass, razed to the ground.
Blood feuds can never be resolved, there are too many people killed, even the guys who are born against the bones have to change their thinking, except for honestly respecting themselves as kings, they can't go anywhere, and the cruel black history is their eternal stain.
"You're right!" After thinking about the front and rear joints, the iron tooth expression stretched slightly, he raised his head, and there was a hint of approval in his eyes: "Pass on the king's order: all the walled cities of the steel tooth department will send six thousand troops in proportion, and they must arrive in the city on the specified date to assemble." The king also sent another 1,000 guards, with a total strength of 7,000, to sweep away the rock village. Don't take prisoners in this battle, count the merit by the head. ”
The wizard hurriedly knelt down: "Obey the king's order, I will go down and make arrangements." ”
A few minutes later, the wizard who walked out of the main hall exhaled secretly, a smug smile on his wrinkled face.
In fact, these words are not original to him.
The news of the Gushanzhai rebellion had already come the day before yesterday, and the wizard knew about it even a long time before the Iron Tooth King.
Just last night, Fang Gu City sent envoys, even Lizhai and Shuangdui Village, although they arrived at different times, but they expressed their requests in the same way———— asked the wizard to help talk in front of the king, they were willing to contribute troops in the upcoming big war, and share the worries of the King of Steel Fang.
Sharing worries?
Hehe, share the worries of a fart. It sounds nice, but it's actually for your benefit.
With the intelligence of a wizard, it is not difficult to guess the true purpose of these people.
Artisans, Food, Population...... The 3,000 personal guards under the command of the King of Steel Fang are immense, and their combat strength is so powerful that even the Tiger Clan and the Lion Clan are not willing to provoke easily. With one clan attacking one village, the outcome of this battle is no suspense. This kind of victorious battle must be participated, and even if you follow the main force, you can get a lot of oil and water.
Hearing that the Deer Clan had some disputes with the Niu Clan some time ago, Lu Qingyuan, the king of the stag, was furious and sent more than 6,000 troops to cross the border. Although the momentum was great, it was finally destroyed in the Panshizhai army.
The wizard had never thought that the same thing would happen to the Pig Army. These are two different things: the combat effectiveness of the Pig Clan is far superior to that of the Deer Clan, and the latter cannot be compared to the former. Nothing else for the time being, just talking about the quality of individual soldiers, three deer people can't beat one pig people.
If you want to go to war, you have to have a logical and justified name.
Eat people with soft mouths, and take people's hands off. The sorcerer, who had been benefited, racked his brains and stayed awake all night before he tried to find this excuse.
He never suspected that there was fraud.
The leader of the walled city who is willing to send troops for the king cannot be a traitor at all.
They are at most a swarm of flies, and they swarm when they smell stinky meat.
This time, the rock village must be finished.
……
Cattle Clan's territory, Thunderhorn City.
When he walked into the City Lord's Hall, Wu Yuan felt that even the air had become dull.
He didn't like this place at all.
But that's just how frustrating it is...... I, the wizard of the Thunder Bull Division, am one of the rulers of this city.
The respectful-looking guards walked in front to guide them, and quickly led Wu Yuan into the guest room.
What followed was a long wait of more than half an hour.
Wu Yuan repeatedly admonished himself to be patient and not to get angry. He knew very well that this was the deliberate neglect of Lei Niu Wang Niu Weibang, he never liked himself, this is the best, and people can't find fault with the humiliation method.
Actually, I don't like him either. Wu Yuan sat in his chair and thought to himself.
It wasn't until noon that Niu Weibang finally appeared.
"It's so rare, I didn't expect you to come back to see me." The burly Niu Weibang was still dressed like a hippie, he looked Wu Yuan up and down, and let out an undisguised sarcastic laugh: "What, tired of staying in Red Hoof City?" ”
According to tradition, as the head of a clan of witch sacrifices, he should be resident in the main city of the clan. Niu Weibang did not treat Wu Yuan badly in this regard, he also has his own private residence in Thunder Point City, but Wu Yuan rarely returns, especially in recent years, and has been living in Red Hoof City.
"You don't want to see me, and I don't want to go around in front of you and ask for trouble." Wu Yuan responded with a sneer. It is true that the power of the patriarch is greater than that of the shaman, but the shaman represents the divine power, and to some extent, there is not much difference in the status of the two sides.
Niu Weibang didn't bother to say anything to him, so he walked directly to the nearest chair and sat down: "Say, what is the matter with your coming back this time?" ”
