Chapter 136: Golden Sword Storm (I)
Brittany had always admired the harshness of the U-Sang laws, but he still couldn't understand why these alien humans had to go to great lengths to restore their native old customs and punishments during the sneak attack - the advance legion had opened the isthmus secret way in the Wall of Despair, and the second military order after the U-Sang general ordered the garrison to establish a defensive fortress was actually to build a "prison of nine prisoners" - a kind of nine-square lattice-shaped cell, in which eight hungry tigers, leopards and bears were placed in the surrounding lattice, and the middle lattice was where the tortured people were treated. The strong walls between the hungry beasts were made of mortar, so that they could not fight with each other, but they were only separated from the middle cell by a wooden fence, which was circular, and the prisoners who were sent into the pens by the crane could only stand in the center of the circle, and if they were a little closer to a nearby grid, they could be grasped by the claws of the beasts sticking out of the fence, and the result could only be killed by the mouth of the hungry beasts through the fence.
??
"The Nine Prisoners is an inherent custom of the U-Sang, and it works wonders in urging the inferior to work efficiently," the general felt offended by a series of doubts about Brittany after setting foot on the land of the Medici Empire, but the general's teachings before leaving still made him suppress the anger in his heart, and he pretended to be humble and explained: "The purpose of the punishment is to warn others that the deterrence brought by the punishment of the Nine Prisoners can last for several days. The mere establishment of this little prison itself would have a great effect, and the slaves, the governors, and everyone who saw it would be spurred to work hard. ”
??
After the appearance of the first slave governor who was sentenced to the "punishment of nine prisoners" for a moment of snooze, the already fast construction speed of the fortress of the advance legion increased a lot, and at the same time, the consumption rate of various slave laborers also increased several times. While a beast with a never-ending belly like the Blue-Footed Dragon Serpent can "make the most of" every penny of slave labor, it's like water from no source that will one day run out. Those who possess professional skills are still good to say, but they are only slaves engaged in heavy manual labor, and if they only rely on the "stocks" brought from the Usang base camp, they will probably become unusable for a few more days. Therefore, General Usang specially ordered the free folk swordsmen to ride on "swollen-backed horses" to lead the slave warriors of Duluo to go out in three ways to "eat", on the one hand, to detect the surrounding situation, draw a map of the military register, and on the other hand, solve the problem of some material supplies. Last but not least, the most important thing is to find new fuel for the U-sang's war machine, local slaves in Medici, and by the way, complete a secret mission-
??
"Could it be that the general is just asking us to find a few alien bed slaves?" said the leading freefolk swordsman with disgust as he grabbed a handful of them on top of a female desert elf's undulating breasts. The one who complained was the head of the advance legion, who was under the jurisdiction of a well-known sword captain. At this time, his direct prefect led the eighth team and a thousand-person team of Duluo slave warriors who had just broken a small tribe of desert elves and killed dozens of samurai heads, and counted the number of materials and slaves captured under the leadership of a former chieftain's wife and brother, who was "serving". Originally, for this kind of Usang advance troops, the captured old and weak women and children were useless burdens, but because the general ordered to "find a few foreign lovers who can warm the tent and warm the wine" before departure, they had to take the risk of bringing some young elf females and their relatives - this is the experience of catching slaves, if there are no relatives to care, the female ** subordinate will often choose to secretly end herself to avoid the terrible encounters that will be faced.
??
As a result, the number of prisoners to be escorted by an army of no more than 1,000 men was more than three times as many. Bringing a group of untrained alien barbarians who still have an unruly personality on the road will not only slow down the mobility of the entire team, but may even cause some unintended harm. Sure enough, while the clerk of only one of the thousand Usang Takeo was registering, devastating trouble found the team.
??
A traveler dressed as a desert elf ranger walked into the camp, which was already under the control of the Usang advance army, and slipped in like a rare slug in the desert, pinpointing the core of the group. When the ranger slashed through the felt tent where the captain was resting with a sharp blade and challenged the sword hero, no one in the entire camp had time to intervene in the battle. "For the glory of the Desert Elves!" the Ranger shouted in the Desert Elves as a prelude to his attack, adding an imprecise accusation: "I'm going to cut off the heads of you filthy human cityfolk dogs!"
??
The threatened captain of the Usang Fan did not insult his name as a sword hero, and he instantly entered a combat state when he was resting on the bed that originally belonged to the Desert Spirit Chief. This swordsman, who was good at "showing the flow of swordsmanship", deceived his opponent by holding his saber high above his right shoulder during the sprint, and then swung it violently to the left, completely ignoring how his opponent attacked. This is a secret technique of "human slashing" to break the enemy, which is most suitable for quickly establishing an attack advantage when fighting in close combat. If he is attacked, he believes that he has overwhelming strength and speed, and if he is separated, then by showing the power of the special technique of the Manifest Flow, the enemy will be immediately defeated by the bullet of his weapon to the head.
??
The technology is good technology, but it is a pity that it is defeated in the equipment. Although the reaction speed of the Desert Elf Ranger is not slow, it is actually the same as the captain of the sword hero at most. And because its preemptive voice is actually a reminder to the other party, there is no first-mover advantage at all. So when the "human slash" attacked, he could only draw his knife and block it hastily. But something unexpected happened to the other party, when the blades of the two weapons collided, the saber of the Usang officer's standard, which took ten high-level sword slaves for several years to quench and forge, turned into pieces in an instant like the waves that hit the reef. The scimitar with a pale golden flash in the ranger's hand was just a flash of light, and the power transmitted by the broken blade had no effect on it at all. When the captain of the sword hero was still grinning in shock, he was killed by the opponent's backhand.
??
Although this sudden attack was short-lived, due to the roar of the Desert Elf Ranger before, a large number of Wusang freeman swordsmen rushed to hear the sound, and the already more alert Du Fall warriors arranged the encirclement first. However, after the attacker threw the captain's head out of the tent, his figure suddenly came and disappeared like a breeze in the desert. The crowd followed the footprints in the sand, but they were always one step behind, often only hearing half a desert elf proclamation such as "take the lives of human citygoers" and then obtain new victims' heads.
??
What is even more puzzling is that this attacker seems to be very familiar with the U-sang military system, and the people he killed were the captain of the fan, the quartermaster (quartermaster), the secretary of Youbi (clerk), the captain of the slave catcher, and the commander of the hundred people, the chief of the Shiren, and the officers who stayed together with a large number of soldiers, but they were not targeted at all. In this way, the elven ranger with the golden sword who was seen by many people did not take much effort to cause a big commotion in this advance team of Usang. Taking advantage of this chaos, hundreds of captured desert elf slaves escaped from the camp without incident, and dozens of them even grabbed mounts. The former slave catcher warriors were still able to catch up, but the latter could only be caught up. Each of the desert elves who escaped sang the name of the Ranger who rescued them, and the golden sword he wielded.
??
And the initiator was now leisurely staying in the camp that had just been raging. He sheds his elven ranger disguise and transforms into a camel worker, tending to the camels that the Usayans call the "swollen-backed horse". Looking at the scurrying Usamen soldiers, the shapeshifter sneered in an inaudible voice—although the Utomen here were not slaves to his master, the ability to play tricks and kill one or two of his master's kindred made the shapeshifter so happy that the beasts around him spat at that he was not a familiar camel worker, and it didn't make him go on a killing spree.
