2. The Heavenly Punishment of the Scarlet Leaf Forest Chapter 58 The New Deal of the Copper Hammer
Salutes roared and colorful flags were unfurled.
The 2,000 soldiers of the Red Pavilion marched through the central square in a neat procession, and the people of the Red Pavilion cheered and celebrated the official completion of the "Manniu Town" rebuilt on the ruins, and witnessed the official appointment of Bronze Hammer as the first consul of Buxiao.
Military parades, drills, leaders' speeches, and theatrical performances. Lydia played almost all the tricks in the army, stunned the residents of the Red Pavilion, and looked at the elders of Copperhammer and Finks stupidly, and couldn't even say without laughing.
You know, in the assumption that he didn't smile, the whole ceremony would only take five minutes: he threw the seal to the brass hammer, and then he went back to his own house.
But the elated faces of the people in front of him made him vaguely aware that his behavior of only pursuing efficiency was not necessarily the best plan.
The bell rang, and the brass hammer stood on the high platform to announce his ruling order.
Probably because he was always asked to release prisoners of war, he had become accustomed to speaking loudly in front of many people. I saw him announce with a calm expression: appoint Cruise as the sheriff of the city, in charge of the city's security and security; Appointed the Damm siblings as city garrison officers, responsible for the management of the garrison; Hills was appointed as a master craftsman and presided over the city's "artisan association" to teach advanced production techniques.
He then went on to propose a strategy for the Korsun tribe: "We all know that there are various barbarian tribes in this jungle. If they are not hostile, we can coexist peacefully; If they want to be hostile, we won't let them go. But we need to submit to the enemy, not conquer, let alone simply kill them all. ”
Lydia always felt that the copper hammer was just a blacksmith, but she didn't expect to have such a pattern and vision, and secretly admired it.
"There are good people and evil people everywhere, and those tribes are no exception." Brass Hammer continued to say loudly, "We are fighting the Korsons, but there are also good Korsons who do not want to fight us. We want to welcome these good people to us and become our brothers and sisters to fight together against those evil enemies. ”
It's a good idea, but can young people accept the same people as these village slaughterers? Lydia turned to look for the young man, only to find that he was not there.
She had to sigh and muttered to herself, "After all, he is the same clan as the murderer of the village, and he is not so easy to understand." ”
Officially becoming the consul of "Wild Bull Town", Brass Hammer's first order was to announce the release of prisoners of war. When the prisoners of war heard this, they all showed reluctant expressions.
"Hey, how long do you want to stay here?" Cruise gritted his fangs at the POWs.
The prisoners of war shouted: "We are willing to mine, mining makes us happy!" ”
Copperhammer grinned and ignored their protests, and personally led them from the mines through the city to the outside of the city.
Through the efforts of the craftsmen, Manniu Town has begun to take shape as a city. The roads are wide, the houses are neat, the streets are bustling, and the refugees of the past have put on new clothes to live and work here.
The bronze hammer walked at the front of the team and explained to the prisoners of war: "This is the first city of our Red Pavilion, this is our town hall, and the one next to it is the school. ”
Those prisoners of war had been kept in the prisoner of war camp, and at the moment they were full of curiosity about the city, and they were looking left and right. Suddenly, several people screamed at the school wall!
It was a group of children practicing soul magic on the playground, and Achai's sister Tia was among them!
I saw that after she recited a large part of the incantation seriously, a soul flame had already appeared on the staff, and a small fireball hit it a moment later.
The power of this fireball could only kill a small bug, but the prisoners of war were already stunned. They never dreamed that the untouchables would be able to learn the soul magic used by the nobles!
"It's just an entry-level soul art." Brass Hammer looked at them and laughed, "You can only see these superficial powers, but you don't know the real power, which is the power of knowledge. ”
With that, the Hammer took them around and led them to Rowling's workshop. Outside the workshop, three or five apprentices were grabbing a larger-than-human burst lizard and pulling orange glands out of its mouth with a tube.
"That's poppers!" One of the captives seems to know a lot about Warcraft, "This is to make weapons!" ”
Brass Hammer laughed: "You should have something other than war in your minds." ”
At this time, Rowling and several assistants came pushing a large machine. "Uncle Copper Hammer, do you want to see the new 'combine'?"
Rowling proudly picked up the hockey stick and spun it on the engine, two assistants climbed onto the harvester and injected the orange gland known as "poppers" into the fuel tank, and one of the assistants lit a fire underneath.
Bang! Bang bang bang! Thundered!
The engine made a terrible popping sound, and then spun rapidly, causing the blade in front of it to spin and brush, and the cold light flashed, making the Kolsun's legs tremble: "What a terrible blade, if you encounter such a weapon on the battlefield, even the bones will be chopped to pieces." ”
"It's not used to cut people." Rowling frowned as she listened, "This is a farming tool used to harvest dahlias, do you know the farming tools?" ”
Then Rowling talked about "combines," "three-cylinder engines," "four-stroke ignition," "atomizing nozzles," and the like.
Rowling's set of technical terms smashed Coleson's eyes, and even the copper hammer could not understand it at all, so she could only summarize tactically: "The real strong man does not only use his strength in war, but uses his power to improve everyone's life." ”
Copper Hammer then took them on a tour of semi-automatic farms and water conservancy facilities that use wind and water power, planted with dahlias that emit an alluring fragrance in the sun. A few farmers in big straw hats were harvesting dahlias not far away, while singing strange labor trumpets.
"What are they singing?" A prisoner of war asked.
"That's a nursery rhyme taught by the princess, and it's to persuade children to go to school." Copper Hammer said with a smile, "I can't read and write, and I'll be enslaved all my life." It is only through learning that you can change all that. ”
"Is that not a pariah?" The prisoner of war asked again.
Copper Hammer didn't answer him directly, but just picked up his blacksmith's hammer, "I used to be a pariah too. In this life, he should strike iron day and night for the lord. Just like my father and brother, I died of exhaustion in the workshop, and finally I was thrown into molten iron and melted. ”
His seemingly understated story was so terrifying, and the Corsons felt a chord.
"Do you think I look like a pariah?" Brass Hammer smiled heartily.
The hearts of the prisoners of war seemed to be touched.
"There are no nobles in this world, and there are no untouchables." Copper Hammer looked at them, "We are the Red Pavilion of Freedom and Equality. Now, I'm a freelance blacksmith. ”
As they spoke, they had come to the gates.
"We don't want war, unfortunately your elders want war, and you all fall victim to it. ”
The words were quite profound, and Cruise couldn't help but look at the copper hammer with admiration.
"We have all been enslaved before, and I don't want to embarrass you, I believe that there are people in your family who are also worried. So, go back quickly. ”
With that, the brass hammer turned around and walked back to the city with the soldiers. The gates closed with a heavy thud, leaving only the prisoners of war seemingly reluctant to walk into the woods.
"Do this...... What's the point? Cruise asked in a low voice, puzzled, "Going around all this way just to let them go?" ”
Copper Hammer smiled slyly, "Big man, it takes patience to strike iron. Let's go, let's have two drinks and go. ”
