Grab a thin woman from the crowd, grab her shoulders like an animal, press the deck, lift her foot to step on it, and wield a long knife to chop off one of her arms.

Red Nose pressed the top of the woman's head, which was trembling violently and twitching all over, with her huge left hand, forcing her chin to press against the deck, unable to open her upper and lower jaws, and could only emit an extremely painful "whining" sound from her nostrils.

"You don't understand me, do you? Or do you think I'm a very kind person, and I can let you go with just a few words? Rednose raised his bloody knife and yelled at all the white slaves: "Recognize the reality, correct your attitude, don't think that I dare not do anything to you." By the way, Lao Tzu hasn't eaten since this afternoon, and after so many days at sea, I'm tired of eating fish, and I'd love to change my taste. ”

Few could continue to maintain courage and audacity in the face of death threats, and the trafficked slaves were immediately silenced and silenced.

With his backhand, he stabbed the saber diagonally over his shoulder, and with his free hand, he pulled a strip of cloth from his waist that was tied there...... This thing is actually a pair of socks, and the bare nose clasps the back of the woman's neck with one hand, and shoves one of the socks horizontally into the woman's mouth, then straightens it, binds her face tightly, ties a knot at the back of her head, and ties it tightly.

After doing this, he pulled the wounded and weakened woman from the deck and applied hemostatic powder to her severed arm.

According to the orders of the King of the Thunder Bull, all the slaves must be brought back. Of course, for various reasons, a certain percentage of deaths during transport and handover is allowed, but losses must be minimized.

The slaves had been drugged when they had come aboard the ships from Dorset, and they were too weak to be bound with ropes. Escorted by heavily armed barbarians, they had no choice but to tremble across the bridge and leave the Obsidian II and onto the deck of the Viper.

Soon, the deck of the "Obsidian II" was vacated.

Rednose walked up to Stewart and let out a gruff laugh, "You're doing a great job." ”

Stewart also smiled: "This is as it should be, I am willing to serve His Highness." ”

This is a standard spore transplant response.

As he spoke, Stewart turned around and quickly glanced at the five sailors standing behind, his smile becoming sweeter than just now: "Come here, receive your bounty." ”

These words are full of hope.

There are various legends about the northern part of the continent. Most of them are gold and diamonds, and it is said that there are gold and silver mines everywhere, and naturally occurring gold nuggets can be picked up just a few steps away. For this reason, the pope and the kings would go to war every once in a while, but unfortunately they were never able to cross the lock dragon pass.

Despite the fear of these giants, the previous experience dispelled most of the doubts in the sailors———— the northern giants were not untouchable, they could speak our language, which meant that there was a basis for communication and even cooperation.

With a sinister grin, he pulled out his dagger and stabbed it hard into the stomach of the sailor who walked in front of him, stirring it a few times. He pressed his left hand on the other's shoulder, and smiled happily as he watched the man's eyes open and his face full of disbelief and pain.

"I'm sorry, you're not one of ours."

The meaning attached to this sentence is so rich that it is a pity that only a few people can understand it.

Slashes and axes, accompanied by hoarse screams. The barbarian's method of killing was simple and straightforward, with the red nose grabbing the dying sailor and striding close to the side of the ship, drawing his saber with his backhand and slashing off his head.

It's not cruelty, it's a method of killing that ensures that the target must die. All five sailors were killed, and the bodies were thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.

Looking at the large blood stains that remained on the deck, Stewart bent down to pick up a shoe left by a slain sailor, threw it into the sea, and said softly, "I'm sorry, but you're doomed to not get paid." ”

Red Nose put his thumb and forefinger into his mouth, pinched it, and whistled loudly, only to see six young men wearing sailor suits unique to the Saxon Kingdom appear on the deck of the "Great Viper". They walked across the bridge in sequence, over the side of the Obsidian II, and stood in front of Stewart.

"They are the ones appointed by His Highness, and now it is up to you and Elizabeth to arrange them." Licking the corners of his mouth with his fat tongue, he smiled gloomily at Stewart, "They have been selected, and there is no problem with loyalty, so they can be used with confidence." ”

In the Battle of Suolong Pass, Tianhao brought back hundreds of captives, including Perias. With the combination of prolonged imprisonment and appropriate exposure, the transformation of consciousness in some of them is very obvious. Tianhao selected the best eight of them to perform the operation, two of them became conscious of the spores and died due to parasitic failure, and the remaining six survived.

Stewart's face was full of understanding, and he nodded slightly: "They're the same as me?" ”

Although the spore transplant does not have the memory of surgery, the pituitary gland secretes special hormones when the same kind meets, producing mysterious brainwave collisions and knowing each other's identities.

"That's right!" Red Nose moved his shoulder: "Your Highness has arranged it this way, the time of the next delivery will not change, if everything goes well, I will bring you more available manpower." ”

After a pause, the sturdy pig sailor said seriously: "These are the original words of His Highness. ”

Stewart smiled: "I was worried that it would be difficult for one person to get the ship back, now it seems that things will be easy, and someone will help me clean the deck." ”

White slaves were the most important cargo, but the Obsidian II's cabin was not emptied as a result.

The barbarian soldiers carried bags of potatoes and seeds of different varieties from the cargo hold, carried them across the bridge, and loaded them into the hold of the "Great Viper".

cabbage, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, wheat, barley, cabbage, peas, turnips, peanuts......

All of these are the goods designated by Tianhao.

The species differences between the north and south of the continent are very pronounced, and the genetic variation caused by radiation is perpetuated in plants. The same cabbage, the northern variety is larger, but the fiber is very coarse, the taste is far less crisp and tender than the southern variety, and there is even a thick layer of skin in the vegetable gang.

It takes a long time to improve crop varieties, and Tianhao believes that this work must be started as soon as possible. Although the barbarians have few requirements in terms of the taste of food, the impact of food on daily life is very large, and if used well, it is enough to be worthy of an army at a critical time.

The other cabin is stuffed with fruit tree seedlings, which have a long growing season, and it will take time to adapt to the environment in the northern part of the continent.

In addition to this, the "Obsidian II" was loaded with dozens of pigs and sheep. These animals are far inferior in size to the fang-toothed pigs and arga-horned sheep, and appear docile, without aggressive tusks or the formidable hard horns.

The barbarian soldier removed a heavy fur bag from the "Great Viper" and placed it in front of Stewart.

"What is this?" Stewart asked curiously. He found the bag to be delicate, grayish-white in color and smooth in appearance, so soft that only hides that had been tanned many times would be so soft.

"This is the goods that His Highness asked me to hand over to Elizabeth, and it is very important." With a solemn expression, Red Nose took out a rolled-up document in his arms, the outer layer was wrapped in waterproof animal skin, and the surface of the tether seal was stamped with fire paint, and the seal indicated that it was stamped by the King of the Thunder Bull himself.

"Here's the manual. What's in the bag is important and worth a lot of money. Red Nose solemnly handed the document to Stewart, and repeatedly advised: "Don't let others change hands, you must hand it over to Elizabeth yourself." Also, don't open the bag on the road, and never touch the contents of it. You, Elizabeth, all our people...... Remember, this is an order from His Highness. ”

His solemn expression surprised Stewart, who had gotten along well with Red Nose when he had been in the fishing village of Rock City, and he knew that this pig man had a rough and straightforward temper, and he had never seen Red Nose so cautious and careful.

Holding the document in his hand firmly, Stewart hesitated for a moment and asked, "This thing always has a name, right?" ”

He was a little curious.

"Forget the worries." "Soon you will understand that it is the product of a joint creation of gods and demons. ”

What was done was done, and the "goods" were safely transferred. Giving Stewart a playful look, the red nose turned and walked across the bridge, and the other barbarian sailors returned to the "Viper" in order, and the iron hooks holding the two ships in place were quickly released.

At night, looking at the "Obsidian No. 2" that disappeared into the vast sea, he laughed silently.

After half a minute, he called one of the guards and whispered, "Watch the white men in the cabin, and get them something to eat." ”

The guard nodded in understanding, "Okay, let's let them live and return to Rock City with us." ”

"This is His Highness's order." The red nose accentuated the tone.

A look of respect appeared on the guard's face, and a trace of puzzlement flashed in the depths of his eyes at the same time: "Captain, I don't understand, the white man on that ship just now...... Will they really be honest and obedient? ”

Akanose didn't want to explain much on the subject: "They're our people. ”

The guards were puzzled: "They ...... Are you sure you won't betray? ”

"That's not what you should be concerned about." Red Nose's expression became serious: "Do what you have to do." Also, keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense. If you let me know that the news is leaking out of you, you should know what that will happen. ”

……

Deer territory, Stag City.

The enthronement ceremony of the new king was far less grand than Lu Qingxi imagined. The national teacher Wu Jiao explained this: the first king was newly mourned, the four princes and many patriarchs were all killed, the situation of the entire ethnic group was unstable, and it took too long to prepare for traditional ceremonies, so it was better to take the throne as soon as possible than to waste time in useless etiquette.

In all fairness, when the house arrest was lifted, Lu Qingxi wanted to pull out a knife and cut off Wu Jiao's head. He has never been a generous person, and he has no idea of repaying grievances with virtue. If it weren't for the plan, he would have left Bucks City a long time ago and would not have been so angry.

In fact, it is just a casual thought in my heart, and it is almost impossible to really do it. Wu Jiao took care of the overall situation, and now he is pushing Lu Qingxi to the throne with all his might, for the sake of this old man is a national teacher, Lu Qingxi suppressed the anger in his heart fiercely, even if he was unhappy, he had to squeeze out a smiling face, and sit on the throne first.

There are a lot of people in the Great Pilgrimage. As is customary, when the new king ascends the throne, all nobles above the lord of the castle attend the ceremony to witness the accession to the throne. Although it took a lot of time for the messenger to deliver the message, it was all worth it in the eyes of the great master Wu Jiao, who respected tradition.

Lu Qingxi does act like a king. He did not ask the tribes to pay tribute, but asked the Yanlu, Bailu, Xuanlu and Qinglu tribes to take out 50,000 people each and merge them into the Bucks clan.

This hand is very beautiful, and even the great master Wu Jiao secretly applauded. He has always believed that the foundation of the strength of the tribe lies in the Bucks Department, that is, the main group of the entire deer tribe. Clans that are too strong will not benefit the overall clan and will only weaken Stag City's control over the surrounding area.

This is actually what Lu Fengguo wanted to do the most before, but he couldn't do. He had discussed with Wujiao many times to weaken the strength of other clans, forming a situation in which the Bucks were respected and had absolute control over the entire clan.

Lu Qingxi did catch up with the good time, the patriarch of the four major branches died in the siege of the wolf pack, and all the evidence showed that it was not a conspiracy. With the exception of the national master Witchhorn, all the nobles of the Stag Division supported this decision, and they had to obey orders from Stag City if the heirs of each branch were unable to control the clan for a short time.

At the end of the audience ceremony, Lu Qingxi summoned Wujiao alone in the side hall.

"I'm going to merge the Bucks Division with the Bucks Division and become one." Lu Qingxi's expression was serious.

Wu Jiao stroked the long white beard on his chin and nodded slightly: "That's a good idea. ”

This is not a rhetoric, as a national teacher, Wu Jiao is very much in favor of this. The stag and the stag are combined into one, and their powerful strength has leapt beyond the other divisions to become the leader of the entire deer clan. Whether it is the control of the surrounding area or the comprehensive development of internal production, it has an extremely important impact.

In all fairness, Wu Jiao felt a little guilty about Lu Qingxi's unexpected ascension to the throne and becoming the king of deer. He believes that excellent kings must be trained from a young age, just like the four princes he has cultivated for a long time, no matter which one of them becomes king, he can lead the deer clan to a stronger future.

The king dies and the prince succeeds him.

There were no princes, and new kings were chosen from among the chiefs of the various branches.

There was no patriarch, and the new king's personnel continued to be selected from among the adult descendants of the branch chiefs.

Ancient customs must be followed, but this creates too much instability. Excessive favoritism towards the original division, uneven distribution of benefits, and disregard or even suppression of other ethnic groups...... All of these are the undesirable consequences of an irregular succession to the throne.

The original race meant the source of power for the new king.

But now, Lu Qingxi took the initiative to merge the Bucks Department with the Bucks Department...... Wu Jiao was surprised, he felt that he had lost his eyes before.
