Chapter 145: Gambling
Tatar opened his sleepy eyes and found that it was already dawn, and when he tried to rub his eyes only to find that he could not move, he looked down in astonishment to find that he was bound by a flexible rope and could not move a single bit.
He raised his eyes and saw a human, who smiled and said, "You're awake." It's really worthy of an orc, like a monster-like physique, because I don't worry that I specially took several times the sweat medicine, not to mention a human, even an elephant will faint, I didn't think you would wake up so quickly. ”
"What the hell is going on?" Tatar looked at the scene in disbelief, and he couldn't admit his defeat.
The brave orcs have suffered from the tricks of cunning humans.
At first, the sun sank below the sea level, and the darkness of night covered the barren land, and the last of the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and Tatar led the warriors of his clan to rush towards the human camp.
But the excitement of blood and fever suddenly failed, and there was no one in the human camp, only piles of rich materials, food, iron, wine, etc., and the ships docked on the shore had long disappeared without a trace.
The orcs thought that the humans had discovered their whereabouts, so they fled in a hurry, and they didn't even have time to take the supplies with them. Although it is possible to get something for nothing without paying casualties, the orcs have begun to spit on humans as cowards, and the warlike nature of the orcs comes from the inheritance of blood, and if an orc has never had blood on his hands until he dies, then he is not worthy of entering the tomb of his ancestors.
"What are these?" cheered an orc.
There were also several fire shelves on the ground with roasted meat, which was being scorched by the beating tongue of fire, sprinkled with spices rare in the western wilderness, and beside which were several barrels of freshly opened wine, the rich aroma of which wafted out of the barrels, all of which was such a luxury for an orc.
The orcs are a race that can start dancing with a bonfire, and it is difficult to survive in such a harsh environment as the western wilderness if you don't maintain an optimistic attitude, so they abandon the frustration of not being able to fight the humans and start a grand feast, with bonfires, barbecues, and wine, all the elements of the banquet.
The orcs sang and danced and fell into pleasure, eating meat and drinking heavily, and as soon as their bellies were full, they began to wrestle until they were exhausted and fell asleep.
Tatar sat around the campfire, drinking rum, and as a chieftain, he should have been more disciplined, but his unrestrained and bold nature prompted him to wrestle with his people and immerse himself in the feast.
They fall asleep in joy and wake up in nightmares.
Humans, what a cunning race.
"Coward, despicable!" cried Tatar angrily, "let me go, let us fight in the open, and I will destroy you, and show you my courage and strength." ”
No matter how Tatar cursed the despicability of humanity, Corleone remained unmoved, "I have seen your strength and courage, Chief, and I recognize your bravery and strength. It's just that I'm not here to fight, I'm here for peace, and I'm here to help you. ”
"Hmph. Tatar was dismissive of Corleone's words, believing that humanity would fall into the abyss from which it would never return, "Do you think I will believe you?"
Corleone was frightened in annoyance, "It's rude, of course such rude treatment will make you unhappy, and the conversation will not start." Untie the chieftain quickly. ”
Corleone's men looked at Tatar in fear and admonished, "My lord, he is dangerous. ”
Tatar scoffed, "You'd better follow the advice of your men, or I'll screw your head off the moment you untie my ropes, and no one can stop me." ”
Even if he has been captured, Tatar does not intend to give up his pride, in his opinion, humanity has only used intrigue and trickery to win him once, it is all his own carelessness, and he will never be defeated by these weak humans in the frontal battlefield.
"Naturally, I have never questioned your strength, and I am very confident that your powerful arms will make me breathe in an instant, and then break through the layers of obstacles to return to my clan, but I sincerely want to have a conversation with you, Chief, unless you are willing to give up your people. ”
Tatar's face suddenly turned red, and he scolded, "Despicable bastard." ”
Tatar led 2,000 warriors in this battle, these warriors are the guarantee and hope of the clan, if he abandons these warriors and runs back alone, I am afraid that he will be infamous as a coward, and his prestige will be greatly reduced, even if he is lucky enough to continue to be a chief, when the surrounding clans that have long been eyeing the bloody hand hear that the bloody hand has lost 2,000 warriors, I am afraid that they will rush up and tear the entire bloody hand clan to pieces.
Tatar hung his head in annoyance, "Untie me." ”
Once again, the Tatars were defeated in front of the humans.
Corleone spread out his hands, and the shimmering gold, diamonds, and precious stones in his hands shone like a bright moon.
"Do you have any of these?"
Corleone, who had been very calm from beginning to end, had a drop of sweat on his forehead, and if Muto had lied, Corleone would have returned in vain.
The fault of the boss is borne by the subordinates, and Julian, who has been deceived, will inevitably take out his anger on others after paying such a price without gaining anything, and Corleone is the most suitable person.
One step to the sky or a full door.
Tatar hesitated, or was at a loss.
"What do you want these stones for?"
For Tatar, the stones could not be eaten and could not be exchanged for food, which was tantamount to roadside stones.
After being driven from the Central Continent to the barren Wild West, the orcs returned to the era of barter.
"Yes or no. Corleone's voice was a little hurried.
"Wait, I'll have to ask Ogudu. ”
Ogudu was the captain of the hunting party, and he often traveled hundreds of miles in pursuit of his prey, and no one knew the wilderness better than Ogudu.
"Take me to him. ”
Ogudu was imprisoned in a cage with the other orcs, and when they saw their chief appear, they were surprised and immediately cried out for help.
"Shut up!"
Tatar angrily scolded that it was a dereliction of duty for his people to be imprisoned, "I will rescue you, you just have to stay honest." ”
Agoudu was released, and he walked up to Tatar and asked, "Chief, how did you stay with humans?" ”
"That's going to be on later, you know these things?"
Tatar placed the gold in front of Ogudu and asked, "Isn't this gold?!"
"Idiot, of course I know it's gold, do we have it in our territory?"
"I remember that there were two gold mines in the northwest of our territory, a silver mine in the southeast, and a big river next to the silver mines five hundred meters away, where diamonds were produced. ”
"Really?"
The excited Corleone grabbed Ogudu's feet and asked excitedly, "Is this true?!"
In disgust, Ogudu pushed Corleone away and said, "Of course it's not. ”
"Very good! Tatar Chieftain let's start negotiations. ”
Perhaps Muto's words were exaggerated, but in the eyes of greedy humans, the barren western wilderness was so rich and generous.
