Chapter 19: Ney
When it was getting dark, and the aftermath of the village was handed over to Feng Xifan and Heidi, Leo secretly hid back in the house, he held the Arena of the Gods, and excitedly checked his mission. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Through the baptism of blood and fire, the host has successfully survived until dawn and completed the novice task!
"Pick it up, get it now!" Leo said in his heart impatiently.
As Leo confirmed, a huge roulette wheel appeared in front of Leo's eyes, spinning like a windmill, and Leo felt that his mood was also up and down like a roller coaster, and secretly prayed that he must draw a better hero out.
As the speed of the roulette wheel slowly slowed down, the last thing that stopped in front of Leo was a man dressed as a Western aristocracy.
"Congratulations to the host for the hero Michelle Ney!"
As the light of the Arena of the Gods dimmed, a Western aristocratic man wearing a large white curly wig, a noble dress, a pair of long leather boots on his feet, and a long sword hanging from his waist appeared in front of Leo. I saw him raise his right hand, give a French military salute to Leo, and say loudly to Leo: "Michel Ney of the French Empire salutes you!
A Western aristocrat, Michel Ney Leo, was a little confused, but fortunately, Leo was an archaeology major and knew a lot about the history of various countries, so he reacted immediately. Michel Ney (Duke of Elchingen), a French marshal during the Napoleonic period, was one of the "three great soldiers" of the French Empire, known for his bravery in battle.
"Hello, Duke of Elchingen, welcome!" Leo smiled and nodded to him.
"I'm glad to serve you, sir!" Ney felt Leo's kindness, leaned forward slightly and whispered to Leo, "But, please don't call me that, I am a sinner in the French Empire, and the empire has collapsed because of my stupidity and stubbornness, and I don't deserve any honor." ”
Leo looked at the aristocratic man in front of him, and recalled in his heart what his Western history professor had said about Ney: a brave general, but definitely not a good commander, with no command art to speak of.
"Please don't say that, forget what happened. There is an old Chinese saying: "Shame is followed by courage, we are now in a foreign land, and I hope that Your Excellency can learn the lessons of the past, and we will start here again!"
After a long night, the village of Haruna ushered in a new day, although it suffered an unprecedented crisis at night, but under the leadership of Leo and the hard work of everyone, not only did it survive the crisis safely, but even the village was full of new vitality and vitality.
When Leo walked to the village with Ney, he found it full of busy people, all with happy expressions on their faces. Heidi saw Leo from afar, waved her white slender arm to Leo from afar, and came to Leo with brisk steps, and said with a smile on her beautiful face: "Master Leo, come and see, there is a lot of food!"
With questions, Leo followed Heidi's guidance to the entrance of the village, where dozens of villagers and beggars gathered, all of whom were using their sharp blades to disassemble the wolf corpses on the ground, and the thick and violent bloody stench almost stained the village entrance into a huge slaughterhouse. Leo was almost stunned by the fishy smell, but the villagers were not at all stunned, and everyone happily broke down the wolf meat on the ground.
"Master Leo, great, I didn't work hard in vain last night, although these hateful thieves have nothing of value on them, but they killed a hundred and ten wolves last night, especially those wolves, good fellows, almost all of them are the size of calves, with these wolf meat and wolf skins, we can easily get through this winter!" Seeing Leo's arrival, Uncle Potter stepped forward with a smile and explained to Leo.
Li Gan, the commander of the left battalion next to him, also came over to salute Li Ao, and reported loudly: "My lord, in the battle last night, the 100-man beggar army killed 47 people in the battle, and 53 people survived, and the dead have all been buried. ”
After listening to Li Gan's report, Leo secretly smacked his tongue, this beggar army's combat style is unmatched, and he completely puts life and death out of the way, but the battle loss rate is too exaggerated, and he went to a small half in the first battle, which is really useless!
Leo summoned Feng Xifan, Heidi, Porter, Olix, Griman, Li Gan and other subordinates and introduced Ney to them. Feng Xifan and the others were all summoned by the Arena of the Gods, so it was not surprising that Ney appeared, but Heidi and Potter were a little puzzled, wondering how this person who seemed to be obviously full of great aristocratic atmosphere came to the remote village of Haruna, and would be obedient to Young Master Leo, and then think of those outcasts who suddenly appeared, they couldn't help but feel that Leo was full of mystery.
After introducing Ney, Leo began to arrange the rest of the matter. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise, Leo suddenly found that he now had a lot more people than before, and many of his previous ideas could be put into practice.
"Although the attack of the Desolate Wolf Tribe has caused us a lot of trouble, and many villagers have been killed and injured, but thanks to the blessings of those black wolves, we have also obtained enough food and fur to survive the winter, so I will arrange a few things that we need to do in Haruna Village next. As soon as Leo said this, Feng Xifan, Olix, Li Gan, Ney and others, who were born in the military, sat down one after another, and the others also sat down in the same way.
"Heidi, Potter, you two are responsible for leading the villagers to harvest grain, marinate bacon, nitrate wolf skins, and collect some wild vegetables when you have free time, and leave everyone's food to you two. After Heidi and Potter shouted in response, Leo turned to Li Gan, the commander of the left battalion of the beggar army.
"Li Gan, do your beggar brothers know how to make pottery in the kiln?"
"Hehe, my lord, you really asked the right person, the brothers were all countrymen before they joined the army, serving the fields, carpenters, blacksmiths, and lacquer makers, and everyone had a craft of eating, and if they really couldn't live, they wouldn't have risen up. You can rest assured, there are many brothers who can make pottery in the kiln. As soon as Li Qian heard Li Ao's question, he replied with a grin.
"Okay, then it's up to you to lead the brothers of the beggar army to build a kiln outside the village, this badland wasteland has nothing else, but there is high-quality fine soil everywhere, which should be suitable for firing pottery and porcelain. Leo arranged.
Li Qian naturally nodded in response.
Leo turned his gaze to Og again, and the tall and silly pig-headed man was also staring at Leo with blazing eyes, hoping in his heart for what he would do with himself. Leo said to Og, "Og, how far is the Wild Wolf Tribe from Haruna Village, and how many people are there in the tribe?"
When Og heard this, he hummed and said: "Hmph! The desolate wolf tribe is nearly a hundred miles away from here, even if the wolf cavalry has to run for two or three days, there is no one in the tribe, there are about forty or fifty old and weak women and children, and now the wolf cavalry has been killed, and even the two wolves in the vicinity have suffered heavy casualties, it is estimated that they will not survive this winter." Og won't have to be bullied by them anymore!"
"That's right!" Leo thought for a moment and said, "Then, Og, you lead the way, let Olix and Griman go with you to the Desolate Wolf Tribe, and bring back all the valuable things of the Desolate Wolf Tribe." If they dare to invade our village of Haruna, they will pay the price. Ney, you should also go with you, and get familiar with our current environment. ”
After speaking, Leo leaned over Olix's ear again and said in a cold voice: "Cut the grass and eradicate the roots!"
The four words of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, Leo said very lightly, and only a few people with strong martial arts skills and smart eyes could vaguely hear them. Olix, Li Gan, Ney and others have experienced many wars, and they are used to seeing this kind of burning, killing and plundering, so they are not surprised at all so they are expressionless, Griman listened to Leo's words, his eyes flickered, and his eyes slowly changed when he looked at Leo, and seemed to be a little impressed by Leo's arrangement. Feng Xifan stroked his beard lightly on the side, his face full of appreciation.
It's good that there are people under him, and after Leo has arranged everything, everyone follows the instructions and separates them. The housekeeping of the village was well organized by Heidi and Porter, who were familiar with the village, and Li Gan and his beggars were busy setting up an earthen kiln to fire refractory bricks, and when the refractory bricks were fired, they began to build a kiln for firing ceramics. Auger and Griman had gone to the Wolves Tribe, and they couldn't come back for a while.
Leo found that his time became more abundant, but before he could relax for a while, he was tossed half to death by a lot of training arranged by Feng Xifan, and he had to get up before dawn every day to breathe in and practice qi, Kunlun's basic swordsmanship and basic body skills were practiced in turn, and in the afternoon, Ney was replaced by Ney to study various Western manners and etiquette, which made Leo vomit blood tiredly, as if he had returned to the tense and busy time of the college entrance examination, and his life was extremely fulfilling.
The village of Haruna is slowly getting on track, but the Barony of Cullen is jumping around. With a crisp sound, a roar of Baron Cullen came from the study: the maids of the Baron's Mansion knew that the Baron's mood was probably terrible today, and they couldn't help but tiptoe one by one, for fear of being caught by the Baron at the slightest sound.
"Hubble, you shit, you can't do anything like this! How many days have it been, what about the desolate wolf bandits you contacted, and where did they all die?" Baron Cullen's eyes were red, his nostrils were still panting, and his fingers pointed hard at the cowering Hubble and cursed.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you listen to my explanation, I don't know, the leader of the desolate wolf tribe has already agreed, and my people have also seen the gathering of wolves at the border of the badlands wasteland, who knows that after so many days, there will be no movement! Don't worry, I will immediately send someone to urge them again, so that they can do it quickly." Hubble explained in a panicked voice.
"Idiot, give you two more days, and if you don't do it well, see if I don't skin you!, how can this damn shit-stirring stick be so hard!?" Baron Cullen said to Hubble hatefully.
Two days later, news came from the depths of the wasteland, which was reassuring news for the inhabitants of the Empire's borders, but it was complete bad news for Hubble and his baron.
According to the wanderers of the wilderness who came to the borders of the Empire, the wild wolf tribe in the Badlands and Wastelands, the wild wolf tribes that have repeatedly invaded but have always been at large for many years, have been slaughtered, all their belongings have been robbed, all the old and weak have been brutally killed, even the wolves they raise have been skinned and fleshed, and the heads of their two embarrassed leaders have been erected around the villages, warning the bandits who are in the Evil Wasteland.
