Chapter 025: Song and Dance
No one came after that.
The dryer's eyes were red, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Kujit, I and you are not over for the rest of my life!"
I suddenly thought of a question, I ran into the Kugit government army, and I didn't even ask where the Saiga Khan was. But if you think about it, forget it, this group of people is so vicious that they can't even rip off the leather robes of the dead, if we take the lead, I don't think we can say that the money can't be saved, and even the girls can't be saved.
Thinking of this, I looked back at the two beautiful girls beside me. One of them was dumbfounded, the other was expressionless.
"Jamila is still good, although sometimes she scares people with a dagger, but in general she is still very gentle and suitable for warming the bed. This Illya is like an ice cube, and it should be difficult to adjust. "I think.
After a while, the Black Flag Kugit returned, and the number of people was two or three hundred fewer than when they were chased out, and it seemed that they had suffered a loss.
They rumbled right under our noses.
Suddenly, under the big black flag at the front of the line, a big man with shaved hair and a rat's tail looked over and inadvertently collided with mine.
I immediately screamed in my heart, and before I could react, the big man pointed at this side and roared. Immediately, dozens of people rushed over.
Illya and the dryer subconsciously reached out and grabbed the weapon, and in a flash of lightning, I suddenly calmed down, waved my hand to stop their movements, and stood up from the grass empty-handed.
The dozens of black-flag kujit rushed in front of me like a whirlwind, and seeing that I had no weapons in my hands, they took away their bows and arrows, and just circled around us counterclockwise. The big man slowly rode over and stopped in front of me.
"Who are you, and how long have you been here?" he asked, clearly telling from the armour and weapons on our bodies that we were not in league with the Kugit government forces.
It's a lie, it's a simple thing, and for me to be persuaded by God, I opened my mouth and said, "Hello, Hello, we are merchants from Nord, we have no hostility, we just want to come and buy some iron and furs." ”
"Merchant?" the big man frowned, pointed to Illya and the dryer and asked, "These two people are also merchants?"
I hurriedly said, "These two are mercenaries I hired, thanks to them all the way." ”
Dahan frowned and thought for a long time, and finally waved his hand: "Take it away first, and then go back." ”
The dozens of knights who gathered around immediately let out a urging sound, and a few of them drew two throwing spears and struck them.
I made a look, and the four of them packed up their things and got on their horses, surrounded by dozens of black-flag kujits, and obediently retreated to the southwest.
To the southwest, is Distaburg.
The journey to Fort Distata took three days and two nights. On the way, I already knew that this big man was Bestur, the number one man in Black Flag Kujit.
I had heard about this Bestur when I was a mercenary, and I heard that he was the illegitimate son of the former leader of the Black Flag Kugit, and that he had been traveling all the time, and that he was both good and evil. A few years ago, the leader of the Black Flag Kugit was killed by Saiga Khan, and Bestur returned to the Black Flag Kugit, subdued all those who coveted the position of the leader by force, and sat on the top of the Black Flag Kugit in a dignified manner.
I heard that after he took office, Black Flag Kujit did not suffer much loss when he faced the Kugit government army.
On the night of the third day, we finally entered the gates of Fort Distat, and before I could look around, dozens of big men pounced on us, and we were all caught off guard, and we were all taken to the dungeons of Fort Dista.
I yelled at the guards, "Bestul, you are so despicable, are you a man, we trust you so much to come back with you, and we plan to do a few deals with you, and you treat your merchant friends like this?"
The guards plucked out their ears and continued to eat peanuts.
I continued to yell: "Bestur, don't think that if you hide, I won't know that you are eavesdropping, obediently let us go, and our Chamber of Commerce may buy your local products when we turn back, and if you are obsessed, you can only cut off your own retreat!"
The guard yawned.
The dungeon door suddenly opened with a thud, and Besture walked in, surrounded by a dozen of his followers.
The dryer's eyes were straight, and he said: "Boss, I really didn't see it, I didn't even notice that Bestur was hiding outside, you actually found out, and it was really hidden!"
I said, "Where, where." ”
Besture walked up to me and said coldly, "Are you businessmen? Do you know why it waited until Dis to arrest you, because you can't escape if you want to. ”
My heart was cold all of a sudden, and my mouth was still stiff: "What is not a businessman? Do you dare to question my identity, is this how you treat the businessmen who come to inspect and invest?" Be careful that I will report back to our Chamber of Commerce, and when the time comes, you will not even think about investing or attracting investment. ”
Besture sneered, "Are you really merchants?"
I stubbornly said, "It's like a fake!"
Besture said coldly: "Which merchant in the world can afford to hire someone from the Griffois family as a mercenary?"
I thought to myself, it must be the big and unknown Griffowe crest on Illya's shield.
Besture sneered, "Well, do you have anything else to say?
I burst out laughing, startling the dryer next to me.
After laughing, I found that I still had to figure out how to quibble, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a while.
Illya, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "I am indeed a member of the Graves family, and King Grimivs is my uncle. ”
I closed my eyes in disarray, thinking to myself, you stupid girl, everyone is done with it now.
Illya's tone changed suddenly: "But there is still a merchant in the world who can afford to hire me as a mercenary." ”
My super-intelligent extreme quad-core processor's brain spun into the air at once, and a name popped out of my head.
Besture hesitated, "You're talking about ......"
I proudly said: "The Glaze Family Chamber of Commerce, we are all over Calradia, from the purchase of agricultural products to the deep processing of industrial products, to the service industry, and we have chapters in five countries. Not to mention the five major powers, even the Skyrim Province and Morrowind Province on the other side of the sea have our semicolons, our Glasco Family Chamber of Commerce has endured for three hundred years since its establishment, relying on quality and credibility and wisdom beyond ordinary people. Not long ago, he also bought a large amount of pig iron, furs and oil from the Kugit steppe, and I came this time to inspect the market, you know, we have too many children of the Glaske family, and the property can only be earned by ourselves, and there can be no inheritance, so you see me so depressed now. ”
Bestur hesitated, he called over to a clerk and asked a few words, and the clerk nodded yes.
Bestul's tone softened suddenly, and he even squeezed out a few smiles that were more ugly than crying: "It turned out to be a son of the Glasco family, I'm really sorry, I just asked, the few deals you just said are indeed there, and they provided us with half a year's military expenses at once." It seems that this time it was really a misunderstanding, I don't know what to call the boss?"
I smiled and said, "It's just a misunderstanding, hehe, my name is Lao G." ”
Bestur immediately waved his hand: "Don't open the door yet, let Mr. G out." Set up a few more tables of wine and wash the dust for Mr. G!"
I said, "There's no need to wash the dust, you see it's early in the morning, let's arrange where we live." ”
Besture nodded yes and arranged us in the lord's room at Distaburg.
Early the next morning, a beautiful Kugit maid came in, dressed me and got up, and guided me downstairs to the lord's hall for breakfast.
Besture had been there for a long time, and when he saw me coming, he immediately smiled and asked, "Mr. G slept well yesterday, and the etiquette was not good, so Mr. G, please include more." ”
I pinched it in the palm of the beautiful Kugit maid, and said absentmindedly: "I slept very well, but the velvet mattress is too soft, and I will get used to it next time I change to a fir plank." ”
Besture was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed: "My fault, my fault, G always dislikes my poor hospitality." Come on, go and put another velvet mattress for Mr. G, and pick a good one!" he said, and said to me: "Since Mr. G has come to our Distaburg, although it is a misunderstanding, it can be regarded as fate, why don't you take the time to investigate our economic situation here and see if there is any interest in investing?"
I was noncommittal and silently drank black tea.
Besture smiled, clapped his hands, and walked in two young girls who looked exactly the same, with a pair of bright eyes and a pair of affectionate eyes. He said: "These two twin sisters are the famous grassland flowers of our Black Flag Kugit, and they are twenty-eight years old...... Oh, it's sixteen, if you don't dislike it, let them serve you well and give you a crush. I'll let them be your goddaughters. ”
I laughed and didn't say anything.
Bestur smiled again and whispered, "I know that Mr. G doesn't have a lot of money, and he was frightened not long ago. It's better to do this, if there is any project this time, I will take out a 10% rebate to honor Mr. G, don't say no, this is all the enthusiasm of our grassland people. ”
I continued to laugh, my heart turned upside down.
Besture gritted his teeth, took out a gold coin from his bosom, handed it to me, and said: "This is what I took from a lord of Kugit, we are very old, and we don't know what this is, we can't eat or spend it, G is always well-informed, he must know what it is, G always keeps it to play, it's not easy to come to the grassland, it's a small souvenir." ”
I glanced over and nearly jumped out of my seat. I couldn't be calm, so I grabbed the gold coin and put it in my arms, and happily shook Bestul's hand: "I feel the enthusiasm of the grassland people, and I have realized the determination of the grassland people to aspire to progress and development! You can rest assured, I will do my best to contribute to the life and development of the grassland people this time, and I will not let the grassland people down!"
Besture finally smiled with relief.
At this moment, the door of the lord's hall was pushed open with a "bang", and a black-flag Kugit warrior stumbled in, pointing out with one hand: "Chief! These people are not merchants, they must be spies!"
Bestul's face immediately pulled down, and he said sullenly: "What are you talking about, drink too much, people are serious foreign businessmen, and they came to us to build the grassland, what are you shouting about?"
The soldier said, "Really, they've been reporting since yesterday, today the scouts have spotted a large group of government troops coming here, if it wasn't for them to pass the news out, how would those guys know that our base camp is here?"
Bestul's face sank, he looked back at me, didn't say anything, turned around and ran out.
Immediately, a dozen Black Flag Kugit warriors guarded the door to the lord's hall.
I pushed open the window and looked out, and the distal castle was in chaos, and smoke and dust could already be seen billowing up not far outside. In a short time, the castle was surrounded by Desta, and there were 20,000 people to see the scene. In front of the battle formation, two different flags were raised.
Here came the team of two lords.
The Black Flag Kugit warriors had already climbed the city wall and taken their places, and I hurriedly glanced at it, there were about two thousand people on the city wall, and there were more than two thousand people in reserve in the square below. Fort Distata was too small to accommodate more centaurs. Moreover, in the siege battle, the Black Flag Kugit could no longer take advantage of their mobility and had to face an opponent five times their size. Black Flag Kujit: They are in great trouble at the moment.
I saw Bestul, who rushed to the ramparts.
The horn on the opposite side blew up, and the Kugit government army slowly erected dozens of ladders. The ladder slowly moved towards the city walls. With a wave of his hand, a rain of arrows flew out of the city walls.
I pushed open the door and looked, a dozen or so Black Flag Kugit guards outside were staring at me with angry faces, which made me a little depressed, and the feeling of being a VIP didn't last long, and I was back in the situation of a prisoner.
I don't know what happened to Jamila at this time.
As I thought so, I heard a few plops outside, and when I opened the door, I saw Illya's cold face and the Black Flag Kugit who had fallen to the ground. Dryer and Jamila followed behind her.
"Take advantage of this time to go. Illya said.
I said, "Where are you going?"
Illya said, "Wherever you go, get out of here first." ”
I said, "Now that the Kugit are besieging the city on all sides, where can they go? Besides, the Kugit hates the Black Flag Kugit so much that every chance he has the opportunity to leave no chickens and dogs, and all the men are killed and all the women are sold." We are now grasshoppers on a rope with Black Flag Kujit. ”
Illya asked, "And what are you going to do to help that Bestur?"
I said, "There's this idea." ”
Illya looked at me like an idiot: "You know, if you help Besture and Kujit, how do you convince Saiga Khan and Rhodok to cease fire?"
I said, "It's better to take one step at a time than to die in vain." With that, I took my gear from Jamila, a rusty scimitar and a few throwing knives.
Illya gave me a blank look: "Since you are going to battle, do you still use your rags?" After speaking, he drew the sword at his waist and handed it to me.
This is a good sword, just a hundred centimeters long, but extremely light. The blade was as clear as autumn water, and the spine of the sword stretched out circles of patterns, which I knew were the texture formed by the melting and penetration of different materials after a hundred refining during casting. The most amazing thing is that as soon as I got this sword in my hand, I felt the position of the hilt hot, and a mysterious power seemed to swim in the sword.
Illya said: "This is what I got from the Eastern Hidden Cultivation Valley, and it was forged with the secret method of oriental sword casting, and the hilt of the sword was wound with dragon skin, which contained the soul power of the dragon. ”
I laughed, nodded, and took a skin shield and a leather javelin from the hands of the fallen Black Flag Kugit warrior.
When I appeared on the wall, Bestur was visibly taken aback, and he said, "Why are you here?"
I said: "I have come this time to build a rich and harmonious new grassland, and I see hope in Dis, but it is an unforgivable crime for the stubborn conservative old forces to prevent the Kugit people from ushering in a better future for the grassland, and I have decided to be with the Kugit people and fight against the stubborn conservative old forces!"
"I'm not asking you this, I mean, aren't there a dozen men guarding you, how did you get out?"
I was a little embarrassed and turned my head away from speaking.
Bestur continued: "Come on, why do you have to be masked, and look like a Salander infantryman." ”
I honestly replied: "The wind and sand on the battlefield are too big......"
During the conversation, the Black Flag Kugit repelled the third attack of the Kujits.
"I don't know what's going on this time, the Kugit know about our base camp, and we're going to move after this fight," Bestool said. ”
I said, "No problem, you're welcome to Zenda." ”
Bestur said, "What does Zenda have to do with you again?"
I knew I had said the wrong thing, so I didn't explain it a few times.
Bestur looked at the black-flag Kugit warriors on the city wall and said, "Fortunately, the quality of the other party is too poor, after three attacks, our brothers are not badly damaged, and those grandsons have left one or two thousand people." ”
I gave a thumbs up: "Black Flag Kugit really lives up to its name." ”
The trumpets sounded again, and a fourth attack was launched on the opposite side, this time with at least five thousand men concentrated and rushed up from the narrow front.
I said, "Attention, these grandsons are going to throw oil bombs." ”
"It's okay, it's prepared," Bestur said. With a wave of his hand, the archers behind the battlements stood up and shot out one after another, knocking down one or two hundred men at once.
I said, "It's still useless, the ones who threw the oil bombs are in the middle." ”
Besture waved his hand again, and I heard a series of whistling sounds behind me. I looked back and saw a dragon of countless smoke rising into the air, and when it reached the limit of its height, it turned and swooped downward.
It was two thousand people in the square who fired a salvo with rockets.
