Chapter 21 Killing Chickens and Monkeys
In the evening of the same day, Chino's convoy arrived in the town of Shirin.
As soon as the news spread, the soldiers heard that Chino had brought back not only live poultry and livestock, but also many fresh faces, and they came to watch.
I have to say that these mercenaries who eat wine and drink meat are not the same as the malnourished border guards, except for Lugo, who is relatively lean, everyone else is a strong man, and the only centurions who can compare with them in terms of burliness include Paladin and Baixa.
Among the mercenaries was a strong man with an axe on his back, and after he got out of the car, he glanced at the thin Shilin Town soldier with disdain, and his face was full of sarcasm: "Look at these monkeys, I can break them with a single breath!" ”
Paladin and the others dared not speak out, after all, this was the person brought back by Chino, and it was not their turn to deal with it.
Seeing that the soldiers didn't speak one by one, the strong man mistakenly thought that he was very good, and spat on the ground arrogantly: "he~tui!" ”
Chino was counting supplies with the quartermaster, and he didn't look back: "Take your clothes and wipe the saliva off the ground." ”
The strong man's temper is quite stubborn, the muscles on his face twitched, and his eyes were round: "What did you say?!" ”
Chino looked at him, his amber eyes filled with a smile, "Or you can lick it clean." ”
The strong man's temper erupted like a volcano, and he came over with angry eyes.
Paladin was about to draw his sword, but he realized something, and stood there with a sneer, and gave the soldiers who were about to move, telling no one to move.
The soldiers didn't move, and neither did the remaining 31 mercenaries, because they wanted to get to the bottom of it.
A veteran mercenary like Lugo can feel that Chino is dangerous, but how dangerous it is and where the danger is, I can't say it in a few words.
It is not excluded that intuition is wrong, after all, intuition is not always accurate.
Now that someone has stepped up to challenge authority, you might as well take a look at Chino's ability.
Wild dogs are no better than domestic dogs, wild dogs are the most difficult to tame, and both conditions are indispensable to feed them and be stronger than them.
The strong man walked up to Chino, and in order to make eye level with Chino, he even had to squat down half-way, with phlegm in his throat, ready to spit in Chino's face: "he~"
Suddenly, an extremely thin black line appeared, drawing a perfect semicircle in the air, and it was fleeting.
The black light of the blade seemed to be darker than the night.
Chino took out a tissue and wiped the dagger, put it in his arms, and continued to count the supplies with the quartermaster without looking at the frozen strong man.
Without warning, a bloody streak appeared on the side of the strong man's neck away from Chino.
"Puff !!" The thin wound was squeezed by the arterial blood pressure, and the blood arrow burst out several meters away, and the strong man's body also collapsed to the ground by inertia, and the corpse trembled from time to time, and soon there was no movement.
At this moment, the mercenaries, especially Lugo, had cold hands and feet.
He didn't know if anyone else saw it, at least he did.
Chino wasn't as simple as killing someone just now, his knife was terrifyingly fast, and the most obvious evidence - the tissue that wiped the dagger was not bloody.
Because when the dagger cut through the arteries of the strong man, the speed was too fast, and the blood did not have time to get it.
Not to mention that at such a terrifying speed, Chino actually controlled the cutting angle to perfection, so that the blood from the arterial wound sprayed outward, without splashing on his body, as precise as a surgical operation.
Lugo remembered that he had bargained with this man in the tavern, and for a moment he broke out in a cold sweat.
I don't know how long it was silent, until a pool of blood gathered under the strong man's corpse, and Lugo got down on one knee, stretched out his hand, and hammered his chest hard, regularly and rhythmically.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Soon, the rest of the mercenaries followed suit, and the dull crash resounded over Shirin.
This action represents surrender in Doguran culture.
There were no words, the wild dogs were obedient.
...
After arranging the accommodation of the 31 mercenaries and sorting out the supplies and equipment with the quartermaster, Chino found Paladin: "Did anything happen during my absence?" ”
Paladin shook his head: "No, my lord, everything is going well. ”
"That's good."
"Uh..."
"Say."
Paladin touched the back of his head: "It's not a big deal, it's just that there is a caravan, just two people, and their leader said that he wanted to find you, and asked you when you came back and where you went... Anyway, there are a lot of words. But they had no problem with the goods, so I let them go. ”
Chino thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of person?" ”
Paladin said bluntly, "Two men." ”
"There are more than 5,000 people in Shilin Town, and you asked me to find two men? Be specific. ”
"Uh... Two... Very ordinary-looking male. ”
Chino: "? ”
Seeing Chino's brows furrowed, Paladin kept patting his head, trying to recall something, and suddenly, his eyes widened and he said, "Oh yes, yes, that leader has a ring on his hand, I have never seen that style, I don't know if it is a craft from the Far East, they are from the West State." ”
With the ring Paladin said as a clue, it was much easier to find.
Jewelry such as rings is generally a luxury item settled in the silver moon, and not many people in Shilin Town can afford to wear them.
But if the two have left Shirintown, or have taken off their rings, they are looking for a needle in a haystack and cannot be found.
Shirin is not a closed country town, it is located on the border, and the population is highly volatile, so it is easy for outsiders to hide here.
Chino was thinking, what would be the identities of these two people?
If it's someone you knew from the previous "Chino", or if you visit on business, you should leave a message or something, and you won't leave without saying hello.
Or is it just an ordinary caravan, purely more talkative?
Or...
Chino subconsciously looked at the brand of the refuser.
【241:23:11】
The countdown is very clear, there are still 10 days left to be the reincarnation team invasion, and it is impossible to be the reincarnation who came to explore the path first.
Chino paid a little attention to this matter, but he didn't think too much about it, after all, the reincarnation invasion was the main problem now.
He instructed: "Paladin, increase the training of the soldiers during this time, especially the training of bows and swords; Three meals a day was changed to five meals a day, and each person should have at least four meat dishes per meal; In terms of standing guard, it has been changed from three shifts to six shifts to ensure everyone's sleep time. ”
Paladin hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "You seem to have been interested in the garrison of Shirintown lately, what will happen next?" ”
At this time, acting too mysterious, it would arouse suspicion, and Chino changed to a relaxed smile: "What? Can't I be a good civil magistrate, to Shilin Town, to you? ”
Paladin touched the back of his head and smiled, "It's our honor." Thank you, Your Excellency. ”
