Chapter 289: Quick Knife Cuts Through the Mess
As soon as Hu Ye's words came out, he immediately caused a burst of cheers. He jumped back into the car and slowly drove the truck into the village under the surprised eyes of everyone.
Watching this behemoth move on its own, many people were dumbfounded, the existence of the truck was too subversive of their ability to understand. Even the well-informed Brown Knight was amazed and couldn't understand how this steel monster could move on its own.
Seeing everyone's surprise, Vanessa was a little proud. She was the only one other than Hu Ye who had ever ridden this weird thing called a "truck"!
Hu Ye parked the truck in the open space at the entrance of the village, asked the village chief of Rice to send someone to move all the goods on the car to the warehouse, and asked the Brown Knight to send someone to closely monitor the whole process, and strictly ordered no one to open the box casually.
Seeing that Hu Ye was so serious, Vanessa knew that these goods must be unusual, and offered to supervise the whole process. Seeing that the female thief was so sensible, Hu Ye also agreed to her suggestion with satisfaction.
Brown Knight and the others surrounded Hu Ye to the village office, and when the door was closed, the joy on everyone's faces immediately disappeared, replaced by a heavy expression.
Of course, Hu Ye understood what this was for, and said with a smile: "What, are you scared?" ”
"It's not that I'm afraid, I'm worried." The Brown Knight said in a deep voice, "The ...... of Count Rose and Dalaran"
Hu Ye interrupted the Brown Knight's words: "Vanessa has already told me about this, it's just a few magicians, don't take it to heart, when you know what I brought this time, you won't worry!" ”
Seeing that Hu Ye was so confident, the Brown Knight didn't say any more, planning to see what he brought first.
Hammond said in a deep voice: "Because the rumors of war have spread, there have been fewer people working in the mine recently, and the production of lepobole has decreased in the past few days. ”
Hu Ye said lightly: "This is only a temporary situation, after we defeat Count Rose, there will naturally be more people to work in the mine, so there is no need to worry." ”
"What worries me the most is that the harvest of wheat is approaching, and there are only three days left before the deadline given by Count Rose, so I am afraid that it will be too late to harvest, so that our grain will not be enough." ”
Hu Ye had already thought about this problem, and said without changing his face: "This is also easy to solve, send a messenger over and tell Count Rose that the village needs more time to consider his suggestion, and it needs to ......"
Speaking of this, Hu Ye asked the village chief of Rice: "How long do you think it will take to completely harvest the village's wheat?" ”
"At least fifteen days."
"Well, we'll have another month to think about it." Hu Ye waved his hand and said: "The extra fifteen days are bargaining chips with him, even if the other party cuts half of the time, we don't have to worry!" ”
Knight Brown smiled bitterly: "Lord Lord, you actually came up with such an idea, it is really ......"
"Scheming, isn't it?" Hu Ye didn't think it was angry at all, but said triumphantly: "There is a saying in my hometown, called 'soldiers are not tired of cheating', and this is the truth!" ”
"Soldiers don't get tired of cheating...... Brown Knight chewed Hu Ye's words, and soon his eyes lit up: "It makes sense, Lord Lord, you are so right, I really benefit a lot!" ”
Seeing that the Brown Knight in charge of military affairs finally got his senses, Hu Ye also nodded with satisfaction: "There is no morality to talk about with the enemy, this is related to whether the village can continue to exist and the life and death of so many people, we should do everything!" ”
The Brown Knight nodded approvingly, and said solemnly: "I will personally go to see Count Rose tomorrow and discuss the deadline with him." ”
Hu Ye frowned and said: "This is not good, the defense of the village still needs you to command, in case Count Rose detains you, we will be in big trouble." ”
Knight Brown smiled: "Don't worry, although Count Rose is greedy and cruel, he is still a nobleman after all. If he violates chivalry to detain the other party's negotiator, he will bankrupt his credit, and no one will trust him again. If there was only some sanity, he wouldn't do it. ”
Brown Knight's words were also very reasonable, and Hu Ye also agreed to his request, and then looked at Copper Whisker curiously and said, "You haven't said a word until now, this is a bit abnormal!" ”
The dwarf's eyes widened, and he held back for a long time before asking Hu Ye, "What about the good wine you promised to bring me last time?" ”
It turned out that Copper Whisker had been thinking about this issue for a long time, and everyone present couldn't help but laugh.
Hu Ye smiled: "Don't worry, I brought you a lot, enough for you to drink for a long time!" ”
Only then did Tongxu become happy, rubbing his hands and saying, "Haha, that's good!" The last time I drank your wine, I didn't feel any taste at all when I drank ale again, but it made me feel bad! ”
Brown Knight said with a smile: "Recently, the paving work has also stopped, the construction of the village is basically completed, and the copper beard is almost out of work, and the iron has started again." ”
Hu Ye said: "Copper beard, you will be busy soon." I've brought a lot of weapons that need to be mounted on the fence, and I can't do without your help. ”
The dwarves liked to engage in construction the most, and when they heard this, they were overjoyed and said, "Then what are you waiting for, let's start working!" ”
The most important thing at the moment is to strengthen the village's defenses as soon as possible. Hu Ye didn't waste time, took out two slaughtered big fat pigs from the dimensional space and handed them to the village chief of Rice, asking him to arrange a banquet in the evening, and he took the others to the warehouse to check the weapons brought this time.
Vanessa conscientiously fulfilled her duties, and immediately reported to Hu Ye when she saw him: "All the boxes have been moved into the warehouse, I have been staring from beginning to end, and no one has opened the boxes. ”
"Thank you for your hard work." Hu Ye praised the female thief warmly, and then opened one of the boxes.
Everyone's eyes immediately lit up, and the box was full of assault rifles!
"Great!" Jeremy said with a smile on his face: "Our biggest problem at the moment is the lack of weapons, with this batch of weapons, everyone in the previously trained gunners can show their combat effectiveness!" ”
Hu Ye smiled: "This time I brought one hundred and twenty rifles, and there are enough bullets, you can seize the last time to train another batch of gunners." ”
"I'll do this!" Jeremy said confidently: "If Count Rose's army really dares to come, they must be good-looking!" ”
In addition to assault rifles and bullets, Hu Ye also brought a lot of grenades. Even the steady Brown Knight couldn't help but laugh when he saw so many grenades: "With such a weapon, even if Count Rose's army really fights, we don't have to worry about it at all!" ”
Hu Ye smiled: "Don't worry, there are other good things!" ”
