Chapter 443: The First Face (6)
In two hours, the horse had only run 60 kilometers before catching up with the Carthaginian army. They camped on the back of a hill with a water source, and bodies had already appeared near the barracks. Cyrus was asked to follow him from a distance, it would be a waste of energy to protect him.
Huang Xuan was a little unbearable, although for these soldiers, there was not one in a hundred who could return to their hometowns, but seeing thousands of people die for their own reasons - when you really see such a result, some shocks are inevitable.
Commas glanced at Huang Xuan, and said naturally to his reaction: "At the beginning, I didn't want to face these people, and my team members did it, and at that time, Fili and I did such things separately. β
"I've always been alone, and sometimes I bring Dian Wei with me." Huang Xuan smiled bitterly.
"Dian Wei is your bodyguard? The ugly one? β
Dian Wei's appearance should be vicious, but in the eyes of Comas and others, maybe it's ugly. Huang Xuan reluctantly laughed twice and said, "Dian Wei may have the talent of a traveler, I sent him to study." β
"It's a good idea, the current world is no longer something that one person can work hard for."
Mr. Commas's appearance made Huang Xuan feel very ridiculous, hundreds of thousands of standard years have passed in the post-plane era, and the father of Commas's father's father has probably also felt this way - this reminds Huang Xuan of a tradition, and every head of the Five Tigers Soul Breaking Knife may have such feelings.
The two men approached the camp without hiding their deeds, and a brown-skinned cavalryman ran over, muttering, presumably still saying clichΓ©s like "what are you?"
Huang Xuan suddenly thought strangely, if a professional soldier has been a scout for 30 years, I don't know what he said the most?
"Go to your general, and Hannibal will come and say that we can cure your sickness." After Mr. Comas said that, he turned around and whispered to Huang Xuan, "It's up to you to talk to him later." β
"Okay." Huang Xuan nodded yes.
The cavalryman saw that Mr. Comas spoke so fluently, and looked at his identity and bearing, he did not dare to delay, and found two companions to watch the two of them, and hurriedly ran in to report it.
Huang Xuan could scarcely imagine how Hannibal had brought together so many different linguistic forces. Coalition form? Coalition form? One way or another, his troops can be described as a rabble. But such a rabble abused Rome for nearly 20 years, which made later Roman emperors think of him, and their hearts were cold.
Hannibal came quickly, almost as fast as Huang Xuan's estimated cavalry, in other words, he didn't have any intention of cooling Huang Xuan. This may have something to do with the fact that he doesn't take the two men in his eyes, but on the other hand, it also shows that the situation is urgent enough for Hannibal to let go of anything.
Huang Xuan looked at the 31-year-old Hannibal carefully.
At first glance, it looks like a beautiful man with a beautiful double chin, silky curly hair, not much trimmed, but groomed beard, neat cuffs. His eyes are not very good, one eye seems to have lost its effect, but if it is not seen face-to-face, it is not obvious, this bad eye does not make him lose his charm, but there is a bit of James Bond's tough guy image, plus some of the wind and frost of the battle, so that it has a mature charm. If he had been born in 2000, such a Hannibal would still be the darling of the world.
Carthage: In the 21st century near Tunisia, the ancient Carthaginian language, also known to the Romans as the Punic, is a language that is never spoken today, but is relevant to all people β Carthage's commercial path has brought them into contact with the world so much that their hieroglyphic language borrowed from Egypt has become the prototype of countless languages today. From Carthaginian developed Greek, Aramaic, Arabic and Brahami. Aramaic occurs out of Hebrew and Mongolian, Uighur; Brahmi has derived Tibetan, Thai, Burmese; The Greek alphabet is even more Latin, the clan of Rooney. Chinese cannot force the world to respect Chinese unless China is stronger, or China has a longer history. The road to the latter has been closed.
"Mr. Hannibal." Huang Xuan called Hannibal like this, and Lorraine naturally translated it.
Hannibal saw a yellow man who could speak Carthaginian, but he only glanced at Huang Xuan, then turned his gaze to Mr. Comas, and pointed at him arrogantly, "You know about this disease? β
He also thinks that Mr. Comas has a higher status and racial prejudice.
Mr. Comas didn't speak with a cold face, and Huang Xuan stretched out a finger without any expression and said, "1000 gold talant, your living soldier will still be alive." β
He was a little glad when he said this, but fortunately Hannibal did not eat and sleep with the soldiers, although they did not "poison" the general's stove, but the danger still existed. Mr. Comas probably never considered this issue, and for the theory of space-time in which he trusted, no individual Aboriginal could determine history, except absolute power. Any change is progressive, so he does not think that Hannibal is important, and Huang Xuan has not received such training, so although he knows the theory, he always does not connect with the practice.
Huang Xuan's words made Hannibal "dew" with interest, he glanced Huang Xuan up and down, and said with both chins moving: "1000 tarrants, it's really a lot." Hannibal said this, and the cavalry next to him had already reached out and pressed it on the sword.
The tarrant was the world's most common unit of currency at the time, including the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and Babylonians, who all used this decimal unit of 60. The Carthaginians and Romans used 1 tarrant equal to more than 30 kilograms. 1,000 gold talans, which is equivalent to at least 30 tons of gold. And in the last Punic War, Carthage, which was defeated, only paid the Romans 3,000 tarants. At the international gold price of $700 per ounce, 1,000 tarrants are worth $6.75 billion β of course, the purchasing power of gold must have been lower than in this modern society during the same period, but from the point of view of social wealth, it is credible to see a businessman with 1,000 talrants as on par with a billionaire.
Huang Xuan once "sexually" wanted cash about the same as his net worth in P11, and Hannibal did not directly order him to be killed, which is already a very good result.
Looking down at Hannibal's rough fingers, Huang Xuan repeated: "100 Quintalant." β
"There's gold in the sea, and I can send it to you to get it." A Caucasian man walked over with a sinister smile.
Huang Xuan pointed at him and asked Hannibal, "Do you have a close relationship with this gentleman?" β
"He's my general."
"Understood." Huang Xuan said, his right finger moved slightly, and the strong man who had just walked to the middle twitched as if he had been pricked by a needle, and then died.
Several people immediately rushed over, and another Caucasian drew his long sword, pointed at Huang Xuan, and said, "What did you do to him." β
"Teach him to behave." Huang Xuan said and looked at Hannibal and said, "Shall we trade?" β
"How do you take that gold?" Hannibal asked with a smile.
"Maybe your people are willing to help me carry him."
Several people laughed, and under the horses filled with laughter, three people tried to revive the man who had been electrocuted.
Killing people with electricity is a very cheap way to kill, just like an electric chair, all you need is a very high voltage or a high current, as long as one of them is high enough, and if the other is low enough, you can save a lot of energy.
Mr. Comas stood behind Huang Xuan with a smile, he was observing the way Huang Xuan dealt with the problem, and as he watched, he thought: a little rough, but the effect is very good, practical and rarely wasteful, very similar to the traditional style of the Green Pine family. Seeing this, Mr. Comas became worried again.
Hannibal was interested in Huang Xuan's ability to kill a strong man in an instant, he rode on his horse, his arms stretched out straight, his fingers moved, and said, "If you can solve the disease here, I won't kill you." β
Huang Xuan didn't say anything more, and raised his chin equally arrogantly and said, "Bring a patient over." And a sheep. β
Hannibal nodded with his beautiful double chin, and then the two horsemen quickly dragged in a man, an African soldier, with pitch-black skin like asphalt, an abnormal redness and swelling on his face, and asthmatic breathing.
Sheep are also half-dead, and the docile animals are dragged behind the horses, and a layer of skin seems to have been rubbed off.
Huang Xuan cut some of the sheep's skin with a knife, and then took out a branch from the body, which was hollowed out, and put yellow "color" powder, a by-product of sinus bacteria, just like most antibiotics, it is the secretion of bacteria, the only difference is that the by-products of sinus bacteria and sinus bacteria are strongly inhibited by each other, what kind of sinus bacteria, what kind of antibiotics are produced.
Simply cut a wound on the patient's body, sprinkle it with yellow powder, and wait.
Fortunately, the patient was not infected by the numerous dirty wounds, the redness and swelling on his face quickly disappeared, and his asthma turned into sleep.
Hannibal couldn't wait, so he ordered someone to wake him up with cold water, and then asked him eagerly.
Huang Xuan stood next to Mr. Comas, and the sword slashed on his body, which was also a waste of energy.
After a while, Hannibal came up with his beautiful double chin and said, "What are your names, cure my soldiers, I will give you the qualifications of a military doctor, and 20 tarrants for each." β
"1,000." Huang Xuan raised his hand as he spoke, slightly hooking his little thumb.
With the energy output of a 1-pound cannon, the hill thousands of miles away instantly shrank together like scorched fat, which was a crystal of carbon and silicon. The surroundings seem to have risen by 20 degrees in an instant, and the air is dry like an oven that has made puffed food.
Everyone's face "color" has become less normal.
