97. Hunger
It is true that war horses are extremely important strategic resources, and the combat effectiveness of an army can be judged by the presence or absence of horses alone. Therefore, generally speaking, good war horses will be subject to extremely strict control, and even the control level is above the armor weapon.
Well, after all, the war horse is a living thing, and there are too many places for living creatures to operate.
It has long been known that such a big mess happened in Ustok Fort, so when no one has anything to eat, let alone war horses?
So, starving a few horses, it's normal, right?
Since a few horses have starved to death, it is also very reasonable for a horse plague to occur and a large number of war horses have died, right?
Even if New Boyer came to take over the territory, then he would have nothing to say.
The soldier from Fort Ustok naturally knew this truth, but how could he dare to change the content of the negotiation without authorization? No matter how much it works, it will be 20 behemoths weighing nearly a ton, disappearing alive under the nose......
Obediently, how much do the defenders have to indulge in playing cards and gambling to turn a blind eye?
The smuggling of strategic materials in the army was enough to condemn the death penalty, and it was smuggled to the rebels......
He had heard that a shaman with high mana power could bring the dead back to life, so if the news leaked out, he would not be able to save himself a thousand times in the coffin board.
He can't be the master, and he won't dare to be the master anyway.
Seeing that the man was so scared that he was going to die but didn't dare to change his words, Ron also knew that this was a bit difficult for a strong man, so he turned his head and ordered the soldier to bring someone over.
Then the soldier of Fort Ustok peed his trousers in fright, for he saw that the man who had been brought in was clearly blind in one eye, but he looked as vicious as an eagle and a wolf, and was definitely an old man who had crawled out of the pile of dead men.
But the question is, where can such old men eat people and don't spit out bones in Ustok Village? Combined with the escape from prison a few months ago, isn't this the original fugitive?
And these veterans for many years are still full of flattery......
What kind of fugitive den are you in?! He knew very well what kind of treatment these prisoners were being treated in the dungeon, and he suddenly felt that he was afraid that he would be confessed here for the rest of his life.
In my heart, I scolded the damn one harder than Jorn.
"Legion Commander." Tariq was respectful, and when he was brought in, he only glanced at the man who was kneeling on the ground, and silently pushed him aside to wait for orders.
Seeing that Tariq's mental state was actually not bad, Ron secretly exclaimed, you must know that because of the previous incident, Tariq was not less crowded by other people in the legion, and the surface and the secret were almost neat, but he didn't have the slightest complaint now.
It can only be said that the desire to survive that human beings burst out is really strong.
"Your first mission." Pressing all the thoughts in his mind, Ron pointed to the soldiers at Fort Ustoke and repeated the general content just now, "Come with him, and bring back 20 horses no matter what, can you do it?" β
"Of course you can!" Tariq stood out of the queue and replied loudly, but did not retreat after answering, and wondered, "Only take the horse, not the city?" β
Tariq's words caused an uncontrollable laugh to rise all around, only to stop quickly - for instead of laughing, Ron looked serious.
"Do you think you can take Fort Ustok alone?"
"Report to the Legion Commander, you can take it!" The man who was blind stood up straight, "Divine Enlightenment Warrior Dazhai, there are more than 100 people in Dazhai, and there are hundreds of people outside, the mountains and highlands are dangerous, the road is impassable, and we can take the ...... by relying on the eight brothers of our legion."
Tariq paused for a moment, his eyes meaningful, "A group of defenders who don't even dare to fight robbers and robbers, of course I can do it alone!" β
It turns out that the infighting in Dazhai is actually because of this reason? It turns out that the rumor that they have eaten more than 300 Divine Enlightenment Warriors is actually not a fraud?
Hearing Tariq's words, the person from Fort Ustok was instantly shocked, if what this vicious-looking man said was true, with the current low morale in the castle, it was really not possible.
Gu rake
And take a step back, even if he can't do it alone, but these sergeants in front of him are all well-groomed and have high morale, judging from their ability to capture themselves, there is a great probability that they will take Fort Ustok with casualties!
In this way, he actually jumped from smuggling materials to becoming a traitor who fornicated with the rebels and leaked critical military information?
That coffin board sit-ups are afraid that it will have to be done for a lifetime!
BjΓΆrn! You bastard! You didn't say that!
Tariq's remarks seemed to be really feasible, Ron thought about it seriously, but actually refused, "Forget it, Fort Ustok can be taken, but let's stay there." β
"Why?" Tariq was even more puzzled, whether to capture the city or not determines the gold content of the credit, if he doesn't take the city, then his own trip is a little dangerous errand, at most he can only save himself half a time.
"Defeat them, and the nobles of Stegia will send more capable people to fight, and then our life will not be so easy."
After a blink of an eye, Tariq felt that this was really the case, so he said no more, said goodbye, and prepared to take what he was going to take with him.
As for the soldier, now that he was untied, the group of fierce men seemed to have expected that they would not be a scourge, and they did not take strict care of themselves, and went about their own business.
However, the eyes that will inadvertently glance at any time still warn themselves not to act rashly.
That's how it should be.
The soldier of Fort Ustok was somehow confused, as if his mind was in turmoil, completely uncontrolled, and his steps were erratic, but the direction of his progress was extremely firm.
There was something that awakened his instincts, the instincts that he had been suppressing with reason.
The thing seduced his snort, reminding him that he was still a living thing, a living creature of flesh and blood to eat.
There was a sharp pain all over the body, especially in the abdomen, and the intestines seemed to be turned into a spear to come out of it.
This feels... It's all too familiar.
Hunger.
Obviously, from the day he was captured by Boyer to serve as a soldier, he should have been tortured by hunger to the point that he was so accustomed to it that he could even pretend to ignore the wailing of his stomach.
But now, hunger has brought pain back to my body.
The air is filled with aroma, refreshing aroma! That's the aroma of food that drives people crazy!
And this damn scent seems to be at your fingertips!
What's on here? Could it be that the person in charge has a birthday today? I have the impression that I was only given a full meal on Boyer's birthday.
The soldier from Fort Ustok stopped in front of a wooden barrel, and the thing that had awakened the pain in his whole body lay quietly inside, and the smell was overflowing.
He ran, staggered and fell to the ground, did not get up, and scurried to the barrel with his hands and feet like a wild dog, and buried his head in the barrel without hesitating the astonishment of those beside him.
He would rather drown in this mushy delicacy.
The person next to him exclaimed, and then walked over and tried to drag him away, but it turned out that no matter how much he beat and scolded, it didn't work, and he could only see that most of the barrel was deflated.
"You, you, you, you! You guy, how do you eat pig food! β
