Chapter 40: The Middle Bush
On that day, Shaq, under the clever arrangement of Quaker, disguised himself as a porter and sneaked out of the camp of the slave caravan with the others, only to be discovered by the soldiers patrolling the camp in the evening, and quickly reported it to the Knight of Aino. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 I don't know if it's because there have been too many things recently, or if Knight Aino thinks it's just a trivial matter, he takes it lightly, and doesn't pursue it too much, but just tells the guards who patrol the night to step up patrols in the future, and there can be no more mistakes like this, otherwise he will be severely punished.
In the same evening, it was still in a col not far from the Red Rock Canyon, and I saw bonfires everywhere in the col, and people were surging. At this time, Shaq was following behind Ranke with a nervous expression.
"Great Chief, this is the Shaq brothers, he came as a hostage of his own free will. Looking at Shaq who walked to him, Robin, who was sitting next to Marcus, quickly stepped forward and grabbed Shaq's arm and introduced to Marcus.
"Hehe, hard work Shaq brother. You can rest assured that after the completion of the matter, you will not be missing the benefits. Marcus put down the barbecue in his hand, picked up a bowl of wine and walked up to Shaq and said proudly. "Come, Brother Shaq, after this bowl of wine, I will be my Marcus brother from now on. ”
Shaq looked at Marcus, who was comparable to a man-bear in front of him, and then looked at the bald man who was still sitting by the fire holding a cow's leg, staring at him with a fierce light, and only felt uncomfortable, like a sheep that had walked into a wolf pack, trembling and frightened.
"Good...... It is good to say that as long as the leader of Marcus has a place where Shaq can be found, Shaq will definitely go all out and never give up. Shaq quickly took the wine bowl handed by Marcus with both hands, and a smile on his face was more ugly than crying, gritted his teeth and raised his head to drink the wine in his hand.
"Well, the Shaq brothers are really bold. Come and sit here, this is our second leader, Quinns. Marcus was very happy to see Shaq drink it all, and pulled Shaq to sit down by the fire, pointing to the bald man who was eating heavily. "Quinns, come and meet the Shaq brothers, the Shaq brothers will be their own people from now on. ”
As Marcus's words fell, the bald man Quinns stopped eating, raised his head to look at Shaq opposite, showed a vicious smile, handed the jagged beef leg in his hand to Shaq, and said in a muffled voice, "Come on, you eat!!".
"Ah, I...... I'm not hungry, so let's eat, the second leader. Shaq looked at the corbel of Quinns' saliva everywhere in front of him, and stammered with the acid in his stomach. Hearing that Shaq rejected his kindness, Quinns' eyes flashed fiercely, and his right hand touched his usual broadsword, as if he was about to make a move. Shaq was at a loss for what to do, so he had to look at Marcus beside him pitifully.
"Ahem, cough, Brother Shaq, don't refuse Quinns' kindness, Quinns is a member of the 'Gomo' tribe, in their clan the people all share food, this is their custom, only treat you as your own, Quinns will share his own food for you to enjoy, if you refuse it is to refuse to be friends with Quinns. Looking at Shaq, who was in a dilemma and looked embarrassed, Marcus explained with a dry cough.
"It seems that Robin was like that at the beginning. Robin, who was born in the aristocracy, looked at the corbel handed by Quinns, the tooth marks and saliva left on it, and directly rejected Quinns's kindness, which made Quinns furious and almost didn't fight. Later, Quinns kept looking at Robin unpleasantly, and there may be a big reason for this. Marcus thought to himself.
After listening to Marcus's explanation, Shaq was completely dumbfounded. "Who are these people?"
Shaq looked at Quinns who was staring at him angrily, gritted his teeth secretly, closed his eyes, grabbed the corbel in front of him, and gnawed on it with a "click, click", regardless of whether he choked or not, he chewed the dates twice in his mouth, and swallowed it with a "grunt".
"Okay, from now on, you will be Quinns's brother" Quinns looked at Shaq who was munching, and patted Shaq's shoulder hard, Shaq only felt that every time Quince patted his shoulder, his shoulder was like being hit hard by a heavy hammer driven by a pile. Taking the corbel from Shaq's hand, Quinns sat aside and nibbled on it, much to Shaq's relief. Every time he thought of the meat in his stomach, Shaq forced himself to vomit, and his face turned red.
"Okay, Brother Shaq is tired too, I'll arrange for you to go down and rest. It seems that Marcus also understands Shaq's situation, and quickly asks Robin to take Shaq to rest. Robin took Shaq directly to an unmanned tent, and gave Shaq a thumbs up when he left, smiling evilly, as if to express his admiration for Shaq's "sacrifice for righteousness" just now.
Two days later, in the morning, on an unnamed dirt slope about thirty miles from the Red Rock Gorge in Lucca Province, Lin Meng, the Knight of Aino, and Ewing Jones and other high-ranking caravans were all gathered here, and behind a few people were two hundred heavily armed soldiers, armed with spears, swords hanging from their waists, or holding shields or bows, standing solemnly.
"Lord Link, are you so sure that the 'Violent Bear' thieves will definitely pass through here?" Standing on the dirt slope, looking at the path below the mountain, Ewing glanced at Lin Meng with confusion in his eyes and asked softly.
"Of course, since we have revealed our route and departure time, then the thieves will definitely set off before us and set up an ambush before us, if they can fight head-on, the 'Storm Bear' will not be delayed until now, so they can only set up an ambush. And in order not to run into us, they had to take the back road, from our camp to the nearest town of Kaiser, I had asked someone to know in detail, and this is the only way to go, so they must pass through here, and it is estimated that soon, and there will be corpses everywhere under this red stone slope. Lin Meng's hand caressed a small modified trebuchet, as if caressing the skin of a lover, gentle and soothing. But the words in his mouth were filled with endless killing intent.
"Earth, I hope your method will not fail this time, otherwise this face will be lost, and Ewing, who is estimated to have suffered heavy losses, will definitely go crazy on the spot. Lin Meng prayed silently in his mind.
"Rest assured, this is an excellent solution that was selected after more than 130 simulation exercises on Earth, with a success rate of 96%. The sound of the earth suddenly jumped out of Lin Meng's head.
"Hmph, I hope so, you know, if I die, you won't have a good time. Lin Meng had to snort coldly and stopped talking.
Listening to Lin Meng's affirmative explanation, Ewing and the heart of the Aino Knight behind him finally let go, and Ewing looked at Lin Meng with brilliant eyes. It seems that the man in front of him has been calm and calm since he was assassinated, with a look of wisdom beads in his hands. She had never seen a man so wise, and it could be said that she had played with a group of thieves who had been galloping Lucca for many years in a round of applause.
Looking at Lin Meng's nearly two-meter-tall back, Ewing suddenly felt that Lin Meng's height was not his figure but the wisdom in his head. I don't know what kind of storm it will cause if this guy is brought to the political stage of the kingdom. From this series of plans, first released the news of retreat, turned passive into active, and then followed by the design of the three Quake to spread the news, lure the snake out of the hole, and finally set up an ambush halfway, as well as the strange things such as trebuchets and black fire oil, one ring after another, interlocking. I really don't know what he has in his head? Thinking of this, Ewing secretly decided that people like Lin Meng must be in his own hands, otherwise he would rather ruin him than let him die for others.
At this time, Lin Meng didn't know that Ewing had so many thoughts in his mind in this moment. And the Knight Aino on the side, looking at the goddess in his heart, stared at Lin Meng's back with appreciation, and a trace of imperceptible gloom flashed in his eyes, which flashed away and no one noticed.
Suddenly, Lin Meng's pupils shrank, and at the end of the sheep intestine path below, in a hidden high ground, a person suddenly stood up, waving the flag in his hand violently.
"Whew, it's finally here! Lin Meng's face was grim, and he hurriedly ordered. As Lin Meng's words fell, the flag officer on this side hurriedly waved the flag at the opposite side, and after a while, the other side replied in the same way.
"Okay, trebuchet ready!" Looking at the reply from the other side, Lin Meng hurriedly arranged. Suddenly, the soldier next to him pushed through three small trebuchets modified by Lin Meng, on which were placed a clay pot with a big black head, the mouth of the jar was blocked with a silk cloth soaked in 'black fire oil', and a soldier was standing aside with a torch, waiting for Lin Meng to order the fire.
After so many days and nights of hard work, the trebuchet finally made five of them, and divided two of them among the Samuel knights opposite, leaving three on this side. And there are many 'black fire oil', Lin Meng has only spent time in the tent these days, except for some necessary study, refining more than sixty cans of 'black fire oil' in one go, dividing thirty cans to the opposite side, and leaving more than thirty cans for himself.
Just as everyone was ready to go, at the end of the path in the distance, a figure finally appeared, and then the figures of other members of the thief group also appeared. It wasn't until a long time later that no one showed up behind them, and it seemed that there were so many people. Lin Meng, who was lying on the dirt slope and only showed a pair of eyes. With a slight glance, he took out his old job in the reconnaissance company of the army.
"One hundred and six men, all on horseback. Lin Meng only looked at it and said firmly. Ewing who was lying beside him was slightly surprised, as if he didn't understand where Lin Meng got the confidence to be so sure of the number of people below. When the Ino Knight on the side heard this, his pupils shrank, and he could estimate the number of enemy teams at a glance, which seemed to be a skill that only the most elite scouts in the kingdom and army (the country and army could only be dismantled if they were to be harmonized). "Could it be that this Link was once an elite scout? No wonder he is so proficient in marching and fighting, luring the enemy into ambush. "It seems that Knight Aino has found a reasonable reason to explain that there are many incomprehensible things on Lin Meng.
