Chapter 48: One for Five
Everyone laughed and argued for a while, and Schweik regretted it, what kind of vote was made, how did it end now.
When the crowd was quiet, the captain said with a sly voice, "Gentlemen, don't do this, savage, it's hard to mess with ......."
Beech raised his arms: "Captain, you dwarf-like coward, I declare once again that their tribe is very weak, and I am responsible for everything! You are also a citizen of the Pavaro Empire, so you can't have the bravery of a citizen? You deserve to be an insignificant poor person all your life! Why don't you want to be a nobleman!" The opportunity is here, the opportunity is in front of us, let's go and conquer that small tribe together, we have this strength, who wants to go, vote now, they are all women, easy means, raise your hand, raise your hand, move fast, hurry up!!"
This sentence made the other sailors scream and raise their hands one after another.
Seeing that Beechcraft was getting more and more troublesome, Svek snorted and drew his sword.
"Damn, give me peace, silence!"
Leng Sen's sword frightened the sailors first, not daring to make a sound, and the captain took advantage of the situation to drive them away.
Augustin bumped Adolf with his shoulder, ready to quietly leave.
"Don't go yet. ”
Svecker stopped them.
"I'll repeat, Beach and Satsuma not only violated military regulations, Augustin, tell me, what are the military regulations they violated?"
Augustine thought for a moment: "Sir, our military regulations stipulate that you cannot rob the property of any citizen of the Pavaro Empire, and you cannot threaten the lives of citizens, but the military regulations do not say that it is not allowed to possess the property, body, slaves, prisoners of war, and territory of people outside the Pavaro Empire....."
Satsuma snapped his fingers: "Sharpshooter, that's beautiful!"
Adolf: "So, Beechcraft doesn't seem to have violated military regulations. ”
Svecker is going crazy.
Or Rodin can speak: "Beech, if you do this in the future, you have to report to the chief in advance, and you can't make decisions on your own, so that the chief will be very passive, and in case the tribe comes to retaliate, we will be very passive." ”
Satsuma was quite awake: "Yes, sir, if we do this kind of thing in the future, we must report it first!"
Beach was also upright and had a correct attitude: "Sir, we were wrong, we will greet you before the next operation, as long as you agree, I will go and catch one for you tomorrow." ”
The captain said: "This matter, the adults need a little time to think about it, everyone, let the adults be quiet." ”
Beechcraft wanted to leave for a long time, and after hearing this, he immediately escorted the woman away, but Svek didn't react.
If you don't speak, it means that you have acquiesced, and Beechcraft will leave immediately after joy.
As soon as he reached the door, Svek stopped him.
"Woman, stay first. ”
Beach wanted to be mad again, Satsuma smiled: "Understand, this is reserved for the boss, let's catch another one tomorrow." ”
Beach-Satsuma left, and Augustin and the others left one after another.
Captain: "What are you going to do, sir?"
"What else can I do, send people back. ”
Captain: "Trouble, there is a lack of women on the farm, you don't see it, there are no women, you are more difficult to control, if there are women, Beechcraft and these people will not get into trouble all day long." ”
Svecker: "What Beach said, is that tribe really that weak?"
"I didn't see it either. ”
"Okay, when her temper is a little smaller, I'll talk to her. ”
For a whole afternoon, Svecker was pleasant and smiled, and tried all his best to please him, but the woman just didn't cooperate, staring at her, as if she was going to eat Svek.
There's no way, Svecker plans to invite Sophia, woman to woman, the distance will be a little closer, who knows that Sophia refused, saying, either you give her to me as a magic potion material, or don't come to me.
Svek realized that he had a hot potato in his hand.
If he returns it to Beech, it is equivalent to bowing to Beech, and if he doesn't change it, how to deal with it, he doesn't know where the location of the tribe is.
At dinner, Svecker brought her food, and she didn't eat at all.
When she went to bed with the lights out, she was crying, her mouth was plugged, and she was whimpering and crying.
When she made such a fuss, she was afraid that it would attract the hairy-footed old lizard, and when Svek was angry, she wanted to throw it back to Beechcraft, but she thought that if she threw it like this, it would be a sheep into a wolf.
The captain said, Look at me.
He punched the woman in the back of the head, and the woman fainted and stopped crying.
"Look, she's sleeping peacefully. ”
After dawn, Svek got up and went to the firewood room where the woman was being held, and found that she had woken up with two eyes staring at Sveker.
"Did you tell me something?"
The woman seemed to understand Sveker's words and nodded desperately.
Svek removed the stinky sock from her mouth, and the woman spoke, muttering, but Sveker couldn't understand a word, so he couldn't help it, so he called Sophia.
The witch came over reluctantly.
Soon, she came out of the firewood room and said, "It's okay, she just wants convenience." ”
Schweik was relieved.
He was ready to continue the further exchange, then untie and finally send her away.
At this moment, Augustine, who had gotten up for morning exercises, ran over panting: "Sir, sir, emergency!"
"What emergency?"
"A lot of people were found on the other side of the river, mostly women!"
Sveck hurried to the location of the suspension bridge.
At night, the suspension bridge is pulled up, and it takes four people to pull it up.
By the time Sveck arrived, Beach was already standing on the stone wall, hammer in hand, and mocking the people on the other side.
On the other side of the river were women, few men in between, about a hundred in number, armed with rudimentary weapons, spears made of sticks, axes made of stone, and bows and arrows that did not seem to be lethal.
"Head, look, this is the strength of their tribe!"
The captain then arrived, with his artifact in his hand, a monocular, which needed to be at such a close distance.
One of the tallest women shouted.
I don't understand, but I can guess that they are trying to get the people from the Demon Farm to release them.
Sophia was the last, and she was the same.
Svecker asked, "Do you understand what she says?"
"Of course I understand, this female leader said, you release people immediately, otherwise you men will be killed, not a single one will be left, she also said, as long as you release their people, send them five more men, this matter is over, otherwise, sweep you away!"
Svek couldn't help laughing, this condition is okay.
"The other party said that as long as we send five men over, we can settle this matter, who wants to go over?"
The guards and sailors laughed.
No one is blind, the women on the other side of the river are all strong like cows, and the one who was caught back is quite slender, if anyone goes in, so many women will rush up, I am afraid that if they don't become mummies, they will also become skeletons.
Captain: 'We can negotiate with them, just send one, and send Beechcraft there, he's the one who caused it.' ’
Sveck thinks it's good and lets Sophia shout.
Sophia can really communicate with these people.
Without saying a few words, Sophia laughed treacherously, Svey was inexplicable, Sophia couldn't help laughing, and said: "Their leader said, no, there will be five, you, the chief of the guard is also one of them, without you, they will attack." ”
Oops, Sveker laughed too.
"Don't laugh, they're serious. ”
"Tell them it's impossible!"
Sophia sent this sentence over, and immediately, the other party began to release arrows, and Beach and the others reacted immediately, unfortunately, the other party's bow and arrow didn't know what to do, and the range was poor.
Augustine, who was about to release his arrows, put his bow and arrows down, and kept shaking his head, feeling that fighting such an opponent would be an insult to his name as an archer.
Beach and the others coaxed harder, turning their backs to each other and twisting their butts.
"Come on, come on, come shoot me, come shoot me!"
The female leader was so angry that she stomped her feet, and there was nothing she could do, and the river that surrounded the Demon Farm, and in the middle of the river was so deep that you couldn't cross without a boat.
