Chapter Twenty-Seven: Forming a Team, Nabal's Bow
Fort Djerbo, Level II Prison. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Rod Custer was followed by two freelancers to meet Nabal in the cage, and after a side-by-side battle, both seemed to have something to say.
"I took so many brothers to give you their lives, so many people died, is it wrong for me to give my brothers some money to go back?"
"After winning the battle, I will naturally reward my merits, but I can give it, you can't reach out and take it yourself...... What's more, I was chased and killed at that time, and you didn't help me after you kid got up, but went to the castle to rob first, planning to get a handful and then run away, only this one, I count you as a deserter, and you are not wronged to be hanged. ”
“............”
“...... Take your people and help me fight another battle, and after the battle, I will not only let you go, but also give you a piece of the fare. Zhu Peng grinded his nails and said.
"This time, how do I know if you're going to say it again?" asked Nabal, his eyes rolling in the cage, a little uneasy.
"Kill the demon, after a while, I will be Virginia's famous hero, your cheap life is not worth my reputation to discredit, do you want me to give you two more days to think about it?" said Zhu Peng, turning around and leaving, intending to let Nabal feed lice in prison for two more days.
However, the one-eyed pirate shouted from behind him: "No need, let me out." You let me fight, I'll fight, and live one day at a time. ”
A verbal agreement was reached, and soon a jailer took the key and released Nabal.
The one-eyed thief came to Zhu Peng's close with a hippie smile, followed the appearance of a nobleman and bowed deeply, and then took a step forward at the moment he got up, and slammed his fist at Zhu Peng, intending to smash the other party and forcibly kill the other party out of the castle.
However, Nabal didn't expect that the aristocratic young man in front of him seemed to take a step back as expected, and the two tall and strong knights behind him also reacted quickly, and their steely and powerful arms parried Nabal's fists. At the same time, Rod Custer stepped back and then took a step forward without pause, and the hardness of the steel instantly pressed against the pirate king's lower abdomen, and everyone present froze.
Nabal felt that he was going to die, and closed his eyes and no longer struggled, but after a while, he found that there was no pain in his lower abdomen from being pierced by a sharp object.
"Nabal, this is the second time you've broken your promise......"
Fu took two steps back, and Zhu Peng lifted the short sword in his hand, but he stabbed the hilt of the sword upside down in Nabar's lower abdomen, so it did not cause the damage of piercing the intestines and breaking the stomach.
The warriors of the Calradia continent have a high dependence on weapons, don't look at Nabar is a limit-breaker, he may not be able to win when he fights with two heavily armed sixth-level knights in prison clothes at this time, so at the moment when the raid fails, this one-eyed man secretly said in his heart.
"Last time, there were eighty-eight pirate soldiers under your command, at that time you didn't choose to rebel, at least you helped me survive the demon siege, this time you didn't have anyone under your hands, why did you choose to attack me instead?" Zhu Peng let go of his palm and put his sword back into its sheath, and Nabal was punched and kicked by the jailers who rushed up, and his arrogance fell silent.
"It's because I still have a group of brothers under my command last time that I didn't fight, because I know that the army of Riwa Cheze has broken through here, and we pirates will not be good, so it is better to fight with you. Now my brothers are dead, wounded, and co-opted, and my life can be exchanged for a castle in the Nord royal family, and you will use me to take me to the Nord after the battle, and send me to the Nord...... Don't say that the reputation of the nobility is worth more than a castle, I bah. Nabal, who was beaten violently, with a blue nose and swollen face and blood spilling from the corners of his mouth, was captured by the jailer and knelt in front of Zhu Peng, but at this moment he didn't care at all, and his single-minded aura was revealed.
“...... Send you to the royal family of Nord, and they will give me a castle as a reward...... It may seem like a good deal, but sometimes I really wonder how you guys come up with brains, why would the Nord royal family pay for a castle for you?
Because if you get the training method of training pirates, they can use it for reference and absorption, and integrate into the original military system of Nord...... Lao Tzu is a hero of Virginia, the leader of the new generation of nobles in the Snow Country, even if the Nord royal family is generous enough to give me the capital city of Sagoth, do you think it is worth me to do such a stupid thing to destroy my future?" As he spoke, Zhu Peng turned around and walked out of the prison, and at the same time ordered: "Let him go...... Even if I repay him for his hard work in fighting for Castle Djerpo. ”
Zhu Peng really didn't plan to kill Nabar, let alone hand him over to the Nord royal family, the reason why he wasted so much time and effort for a sea thief was because Zhu Peng wanted to use Nabar's prestige and fame to collect the entire sea pirate army.
In a normal year, such a plan would have been almost impossible to succeed, but in the case of the three planes fighting and the isolated people having little way to live, everything has become a natural possibility.
The Haikou Army is indeed a little weaker than the road army of the same level, but it is definitely very powerful to be able to entrench the coast of Calradia for hundreds of years, not to mention that in this era when transportation is mostly pulled by vehicles and horses, the incorporation of the Haikou Army is almost equivalent to controlling the maritime trade.
Although the Calradia civilization has not yet developed to the level of civilization that exploits the sea, and I am afraid that it will never develop the civilization level of exploiting the sea under the blood of the wizarding world, the maritime trade is still a business that can generate huge profits, and the castle of Elbuc and its subordinate village of Jayek are extremely close to the sea, while the capital of the Nord kingdom, Sagoth, and the trading city of Woche are also close to the sea and quite close.
Zhu Peng only needs to get a few slightly more advanced cargo ship drawings from others through the ghost light meeting, and under the management, just the achievements of transportation trade are enough to make a lot of money for himself.
However, Zhu Peng's plans, the pirate king Nabal did not know, he stupidly held his two shabby robes, was driven out by the prison guards, and walked on the streets of Djerbo Fort in a daze, until step by step out of this small city Looking back, the pirate king still felt like a world away......
"Damn, did Lao Tzu really guess wrong, there are really affectionate and trustworthy aristocrats in this world?"
At the same time, inside the castle of Djerpo, the council hall.
"Young Master, did you really let Nabar go?!"
Although Old John was injured, as a veteran-level figure, he still had to be present at today's meeting, or at this moment, in Jeerbo Castle, the only ones who could really put on the table and give orders were Old John and Zhu Peng. And although Artiman was also present at this time, his current position was quite embarrassing, that is, he was not a retainer, but he was no longer a guest, and Zhu Peng knew that this was Artiman himself who was hesitating.
"More than anything else, the credibility of the Custer family is what is most valuable, it is more valuable than a castle. With such high-sounding words, Old John could only bow his head and accept it no matter what he thought at this moment, but Zhu Peng's words added a chip to Arteman's heart.
"After taking in the Zhiwache prisoners in the castle, plus the twenty elite knights that the lord just brought back, a total of one hundred and fifty people, on this basis, I have a considerable certainty to defend the castle of Jerbo. As long as we don't make any obvious military mistakes. Artiman stood in front of the rudimentary tiled map in the room, and his "we" made old John smile.
"No...... We don't defend the city. Count Magali was the military commander of Virgian on a par with my father, and if he had found that Castle Derber could withstand his siege, he would never have spent any more of his strength under the city, even if I killed his niece. As he spoke, Zhu Peng took the chess pieces representing the square and placed them in the canyon not far from Jeerbo Fort.
This is the place where Viscount William ambushed Earl Buck before, it is an excellent ambush terrain, and there is also a wide enough flat ground for cavalry to charge, that is, here, Viscount William used the cooperation of three Vigian troops, such as foot, bow, and cavalry, to defeat the Nord heavy step of two hundred people.
"You're going to set up an ambush here to ambush Count Magali, it's too risky, you need to draw all your forces out, leaving an empty city in Jerbo Castle here, and then any wandering army of pirates can rush in and kill your people. Arteman watched Zhu Peng throw the chess pieces representing the strength of the army to the sign on the map that represented the canyon, his face changed suddenly, and he retorted without hesitation.
"The pirates don't have the concept of siege, and they don't have scouts, so it's hard to find out the emptiness of Fort Jerbo in time, not to mention do you think there will be engineers and scholars in the Kairbands? How long does it take for them to build siege equipment? Finally, before going into battle, I will lead the freelancers and Cerberus troops to clean up the surroundings of Fort Jerbor, and if I find any suspicious troops nearby, this battle plan will be canceled immediately. "All the pros and cons, in fact, Zhu Peng has thought about it many times in his heart.
Therefore, as soon as Artiman raised an objection, Zhu Peng was able to refute it immediately, because Zhu Peng had also considered what the other party had thought.
“...... Or is it too risky, the slightest negligence, you will lose Fort Derber, and even your chances of successfully ambushing Magali are not high, you yourself said, Count Magali is the military commander of Vigia on the same level as Viscount William, and there is no shortage of cavalry in his troops, how can he not reconnoiter well in advance, especially in such a dangerous place as passing through this canyon. ”
"If the ambush doesn't work, then it's better to storm it. Even if I fight an encounter, even if I lose my troops and generals, I will completely cripple and abolish Magali, this time I don't hurt him, he will lead a large army to fight next time, the foundation of the Riwa Che is too thick, I don't suppress Magali's military prestige, he can pull out a stronger team at any time when he goes back, I can't afford to spend it with him. Zhu Peng's words were categorical, originally Old John was a little inclined to Artimane, but after Zhu Peng said this, the balance in his heart gradually tilted towards Zhu Peng's side.
"I can't understand what you're anxious about...... We have defeated the demon army, and the Custer family now owns three villages in the Twin Castles, as long as they run it well and steadily, within ten years, when you are less than twenty years old, the Custer family will become the first-class family in the entire Virginia, what are you in a hurry?
If you take a risk like you are now, even if it works once or twice, or even if you succeed this time, but one time, you will export it all, you are too greedy. Artiman said this, and this remark could be called heartfelt.
"Mr. Yateman, please open your mind and take a good look at the world. The Cerberus lair that appears in the wild, the white fog that is getting thicker and thicker in our world, and the honest women in the village who have been friends all their lives will even give birth to demons that eat human flesh with sheep's horns, haven't you felt it yet? Or do you feel it, but you don't want to admit it?Ten years...... No, if we don't learn to war, if we don't adapt to it, if we don't be good at it, we won't survive even a year.
The Great Flood that has destroyed the world has already swept in, and you can either choose to rush forward or be swept down by it and die without bones. Looking at Arteman's eyes, Zhu Peng's body leaned forward and spoke, his gaze was full of madness and determination, because the murderous aura around him, the power of the origin of the world of Zen was cheering and boiling around him: war, war, war, killing, killing, killing, small from people to people, medium to between countries, large to world to world, the confrontation and collision of civilizations in the universe.
Who can retreat? Who has a way out?
The sky is unkind, and everything in the world is regarded as a dog, and many of the highest places of the metaverse really have an eternal and unswerving avenue reincarnation, which is cold and high, and regards all the fighting and killing of all living beings as food.
If not, why has the war in the multiple planes of the dark universe never stopped?
The atmosphere in the council chamber was almost frozen, and suddenly there was a loud shout in the pouring rain outside.
Zhu Peng frowned slightly, no longer confronting the gray-haired old man, he came to the window on the side of the room and looked down, only to see the one-eyed strong man Nabal standing in front of the guns of the guards in the inner fort in the midst of the strong wind and rain.
At this moment, Nabar also saw Zhu Peng below.
The man with loose blond hair and like a beast raised a hand, and he shouted at the young nobleman of the Custer family, "I thought for a moment, it is too embarrassing to go back like this as the pirate king, and I have decided to help you fight another battle and earn some money before leaving." ”
