79. Let's turn this place upside down
Of course, Tariq could not have been stupid at such a time to deliberately say the words of resignation for his own head.
So he spoke immediately, and even his voice was a little more confident, "Let me go, I'll bring you two hundred people back!" ”
Two hundred?!
Ron's face tightened, and frankly Tarik's words did make his heart move for a moment, the most scarce thing in Ustok Village at the moment was manpower, whether it was spring ploughing or fighting against nobles who might arrive at any time, it would be better to have more strength.
And what is the concept of 200 people?
If the two hundred people have enough to eat, drink, and manage, it will not only be spring ploughing, they can even free up manpower to develop the forests that have not been deforested and reclaimed, and at the same time, they can also train enough manpower to start trying to take the initiative to attack and occupy the local initiative!
But Ron didn't show his heart at all, and said in a deep and cold voice, "Are you teasing me? How do you want me to believe that if you let you go, you will be able to bring us back two hundred men? ”
"yes, Tariq." Arthur quickly chimed in, "You can't really be fooled by those Apocalyptic Warriors into becoming one of them, can you?" Lie to us that what miracle can be performed to make 200 people appear out of thin air? If you really want to die and get dazed, maybe you should grab a handful of snow and wipe your face to sober up. ”
Tariq looked at Ron, who was no longer talking, and it was clear that the other party was also in the same attitude as Arthur.
In short, whether the two of them were extremely focused, or simply felt that they were whimsical, Tarik saw that his two former comrades in the robes did not show any heartfelt expression, and the sergeant next to him became more and more impatient.
He finally couldn't catch the appetite of the two anymore, so he could only anxiously share all his thoughts, "Please believe me, I'm definitely not lying, let alone trying to fool you with the name of the god of the forest, I swear I can definitely find you two hundred people!" ”
"Even if I believe that if I put you back, you can reassemble a group of people. But two hundred inspired warriors who refused to obey discipline, whose minds were undecided, and whose hands were full of weeping and complaining souls...... Sorry, I really don't want to. Ron waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to return Tariq to the pigsty.
The soldier couldn't wait, so he grabbed the rope that bound Tariq and dragged him outside.
But how could Tariq sit idly by and watch his last chance to turn his life around? Even though his whole body was bound, he just relied on brute force and sprinkling to roll away the soldiers, forcibly staying in the longhouse, and after being forcibly pressed, he still held his head high and ripped his throat and shouted.
The sound was so loud that the villagers almost mistakenly thought they were killing pigs again.
"Wait! Not those damn robbers! It's two hundred farmers! Two hundred honest and honest farmers! ”
Ron and Arthur exchanged a glance before the soldier let go of his hand so that Tariq could continue talking.
"Let's go down to two hundred farmers."
"The village of Ustok is a remote place, and you may not know it yet, but God has apocalypse... The bandits had recently discovered a gold mine in the forest on the other side of the village of Jemiyan. ”
At this point, Tariq looked at the expressions of Ron and Arthur seriously, but to his disappointment, these two people didn't react much when they heard the gold mine, damn it, are you some kind of rich man sitting on tens of thousands of dinars?
However, disappointment to disappointment, Tariq continued to explain.
Ever since the discovery of the gold mine, the foresters of the vicinity of the village of Jemiyan have been attacking the unsuspecting villages in a cruel way that even Tariq would not elaborate, and in short, they have gathered two hundred strong laborers to mine the gold.
"Although it is difficult to dig a cave in the mountain, how can it take 200 people?" Ron still doesn't seem to believe it, just kidding, this is not a mine mined in the era of technological explosion, even gunpowder is not widely used, how big can it be to dig a mine completely by manpower? How many people can work at the same time?
"That's what I didn't want to go into detail just now." Tariq's face was unbearable for a moment, "It's true that there are not many people working in the mine at one time, but the terrain inside is complex and dangerous, the air is not clean, and there are a lot of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects and the like, and every time I go down to the mine, I can't get a few people back." Even if two hundred farmers were collected, they were consumed very quickly. ”
"Two hundred people are consumed very quickly, so how dare you guarantee that you can bring us two hundred people?" After a moment's thought, Arthur asked again.
"If you consume quickly, you just need to replenish it faster." Tariq finally sighed coldly, "Before I set out to come to Ustock Village, Zhemiyan Village had already been breached, it was the largest village in the vicinity, and there were more than five hundred men and women brought back, counting the consumption, there were almost two hundred left." ”
Hearing such a brutal act, even two veterans who were accustomed to seeing dead people couldn't help but feel a chill.
"It's kind of a fellow countryman...... "Arthur was a little distressed.
"Hey, once you really believe in their god of the forest, who cares if you and they are fellow townspeople. In fact, the group of robbers relied on the friendship of their fellow villagers to win over Neiying, and Zhemiyang Village would fall so quickly under the cooperation of Liying and Wai. Tariq was also speechless for a while, he actually arranged this trick at the beginning, but he didn't know why he dried it for people.
Arthur was speechless.
But Ron then asked, "Even if I believe your story, how are you going to get those two hundred people over?" ”
Tariq was relieved when he heard Ron, and he was relieved at the same time, "This matter is difficult to say, but it is easy to say, although the danger is no less than rolling from the battlefield again, but it is better than my current prisoner who may lose his life at any time." ”
Then he became extremely upright, "Zhemiyang Village is not built like Ustok Village... I mean, they are the private property of the nobles, and the news of the gold mines has also spread, and the main forces of the nobles and the bandits are fighting hotly in the village of Zhemiyang. ”
"So?" Ron frowned slightly.
"So! The base camp of that group of robbers must be empty now! And I just know their details! With just a little operation, you can bring back all the captured farmers! ”
Tariq said a word, then said no more, just knelt quietly in place and waited for Ron Arthur to deal with it.
After pondering for a moment, Ron asked again, "How many people do you need?" ”
After hesitating for a second, Tariq replied decisively, "This matter is not good for life, as long as I am alone, it is enough." ”
However, although he answered decisively, Tariq also knew very well that the possibility of his request being agreed to was extremely low, after all, a prisoner of war was still ashamed to say that he would make meritorious contributions, and the specific plan was to let him run alone, and it was estimated that no normal person would agree.
So he's just gambling, and it's better to gamble than to die.
"Okay, I promise."
His nervous heart relaxed at the words, and Tariq felt that he was indeed favored by the gods.
"But I can't leave you alone." Ron stood up with his palms clapped against the wooden table, pointing in the direction of the pigsty across the wall, "Take those people away, and I'm going to ask you to turn their base camp upside down, if you can do it, I'll give you a chance to splash the sky." ”
