Chapter Ninety-Five: The Old Priest Who Ran Out of Luck
The Colosseum, which had been dormant for almost a thousand years, was once again surrounded by noise and shouting.
Cassano was directing the soldiers and nomads to move food to the safest locations, and then build fortifications in a mud pond next to an arena.
Like the slaves and lions who once fought here, the soldiers of the Knights Hospitaller and the nomads of the Godafy tribe will soon fight for survival here.
Because the distance of the attack was not long, the nomads only had four or five days of supplies in total, but fortunately, Wu Xin instructed his subordinates to bring half a month's food, plus the control of distribution, there was no problem in insisting on ten angels.
The water source is not a problem, although the mud pond is shallow and smelly, but where a little water can be exposed in the desert, there must be water veins underneath.
After all, it was once an important town in ancient Roman times, and the water veins have changed, but they have not completely withered.
"Quick, quick, quick, put all the marble up."
"Don't be reluctant, either that thing eats bows and arrows, or you eat bows and arrows!"
"Block a few entrances, and we'll stick to the main road."
Cassano coughed and shouted and screamed, but if it weren't for the Knights Hospitaller's soldiers, and the marble that had been dug up, the nomads would have preferred to be wounded by arrows themselves rather than scratched by these sleek treasures.
Although he really wanted to share some work for Cassano, who was constantly coughing, Wu Xin had no experience in this job at all, and war was a matter of life and death.
Wu Xin could only study on the side, and by the way, he made notes in his hands.
The female knight Deverrich also had no relevant experience, she had never held a command position, and later was responsible for disciplining her subordinates, and she was fully competent as a warrior, with limited experience as a commander.
However, she naturally wanted to learn these things to her father, so she didn't come to Cassano's side, but just followed Wu Xin and watched him write and draw.
She discovered that Wu Xin had drawn the terrain between Tripoli and Zuwara in his notebook, as well as the ruins of Sebratay. He also has a simple map.
There are also notes that are supposed to be military deployments, mostly in Latin of the arrangements of the Knight of Cassano, although there are also some words that the Knight de Vrerich does not recognize.
But the knight de Vrerich didn't feel alienated, and the square-looking words were clearly not guarding against her. Rather, it was to guard against everyone, because not only did she not know it, but it was completely different from the language she knew.
Her idea was right, Wu Xin would copy a few sentences of Sun Tzu's Art of War that he occasionally recalled in Chinese.
It is a pity that this is the foundation of the art of war that has to do with grand strategy. Wu Xin really can't remember a few words.
"Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked."
Of course, he will not forget this sentence, and it was this mistake that Godafy made to get to this point.
"I've sent a distress message to my two sisters, and they'll be coming to my rescue soon." Godafey saw that his men and the soldiers of the Knights Hospitaller had formed a fairly effective position, and he had stabilized himself a little. "When the reinforcements come, we will attack inside and outside to destroy all these ogres, and we will be the overlord of this area in the future! The man is yours and the woman is mine. ”
Considering tribal development, male slaves were clearly more useful.
"Good! The man is yours. The woman is mine. Wu Xin thought in his heart that Goda Fe was a negative teaching material, but he deliberately yelled to boost the morale of those nomads.
The nomads were very dissatisfied with the distribution of women to Wu Xin, and immediately some people clamored for men.
The soldiers of the Knights Hospitaller also longed for women, but they did not make a noise.
……………
It was only in the evening of the same day that Ah Ming, the brain drinker, believed that Wu Xin had really come to him.
"Master, the scouts sent out have returned, and there is indeed a Knights Hospitaller unit less than half a day's journey to the east."
When Shahamela came to report, Amin was holding a veiled woman around him. At the same time, he tried to restrain the urge to explore the questions in his mind: 'Will the princess's brain be different from other humans?' ’
Zuwara used to have a large nomadic tribe of humans, but now most of its people have become food and food reserves, and a few have become slaves.
But the people were slaughtered, and the garrison was wiped out. The magnates of the city of Tunis, instead of sending troops to destroy the half-ogres, sent envoys, bringing with them many treasures and supplies, as well as a princess, dozens of camels and maids, and a portion of grain and sheep.
'Don't be impulsive. Don't be impulsive, I'm still going to mess around in Tunisia......... Can't be impulsive..............."
'Such a good woman has a better use than eating.................."
'There will be no difference, the brains of beautiful women are also the same taste, they are all this flavor............
While trying to restrain his appetite with other **, he asked absentmindedly: "Shakhamera, did you tell me in the morning that the old man is here to report something?" ”
The old priest found Amin's camp before dawn, but it wasn't until the sun rose that he told Shahmara about himself.
It was all his luck, if Shahamela hadn't gotten up early to make his rounds, he would have been eaten directly.
"He said the Hospitallers had set up camp in one of the ruins of the Roman Empire, ready to raid us early this morning." Shahamela stood by and spoke carefully.
The injuries on her body were almost healed, and although the brain-drinker Amin was annoyed that she had lost her son, after losing two long-term sons in a row, he had no other right-hand man besides this woman.
Both nephews are dead, and Shahamela is also very hesitant, but she really has nowhere to go but to return to her brother-in-law's side.
She always felt that the old priest didn't seem to be talking nonsense, but when Amin heard the old priest's words, he immediately laughed, and then directly knocked on his head and drank it all in one gulp.
After all, the old priest's good fortune was not enough.
Amin didn't believe that the little warlock who had escaped would dare to come to his trouble, in the last fight, he had pushed Sazastan to the limit, and it was only a fraction of a second that the skeleton escaped.
He had no knowledge of magic and divinity, but with the instinct of a good warrior, he was convinced that Sazastan was on the verge of collapse, and with a little more pressure, it would be over.
It's not a ** collapse, but a mental collapse, the spirit of that Zhenguo mage is very problematic, and he will never dare to be right with him again.
His surprise attacks contain the power to shake people's spirits, and they are extremely threatening to Sazastan.
Without Sazastan, he didn't believe that Wu Xin would dare to deal with him.
Even if Sazastan was desperate to send him to death, he was sure of his half-ogre troops, and he knew exactly how much power Tripoli had.
He didn't care about the troops of other nomadic tribes, and those miscellaneous soldiers, numbering thousands of people, could not compare with the troops under his command and the regular army of the Knights Hospitaller.
"Oops, this is really my mistake, I really can't bear to be Seleta's little beauty in the afternoon." As he spoke, he kissed the shivering Princess Hasf again. "Looks like there are a few others who came with him who haven't been eaten, right?"
"Yes, there are two people who haven't been eaten for the time being."
"Well, then bring it along, hey, you said that this is a trouble, everyone is obviously a parishioner." Only then did Ah Ming remember that everyone was a Star Moon Sect.........
In the past few days, he has spent every hot day in Princess Seleta-Hasf's bed, her to the point that the newlyweds are in harmony in bed, and the relationship will naturally not be bad.
But this princess saw him eating people for the first time today, and she knew that rumors were occasionally true.
Although she was not very satisfied with this marriage, she still had something to look forward to, this Amin's strength is okay, he is a core warrior, plus hundreds of strong soldiers, and there is nothing to say about the ability of men.
She was looking forward to relying on Amin's strength to gain advantage from the conflict between her mother and uncle, and to become more deeply involved in the power struggle of the Sultanate of Tunisia, but now she still had the heart to do so.
Of course, Amin knew what she was thinking, and her slender body was trembling.
But he didn't care, he believed in his own strength: "Before the sun goes down, we will set out to pursue the Knights Hospitaller, they killed my two sons, even if I escape into the castle of Tripoli, I will eat a hundred brains." Come on, Seleta, and see how powerful your husband really is. ”
His words made the princess's heartbeat skip several beats. (To be continued.) )
