Chapter 21: The Eccentric Old Man
The establishment of the Bay Crocodile River Army Marine Corps naturally gave Commander Cao more usefulness. The tragic experience of Pi Jiaotou before made Commander Cao understand that if he wants to sweep along the Niluo River, it is essential to have a strong naval army. And the Bay Crocodile River Army Marine Corps is the top naval formation, and Commander Cao is inevitably ready to move. Commander Cao just closed his eyes, and he could almost imagine the entire Niluo River Basin feeling the fear of being dominated by his evil rule.
The early plan was for O'Neill to take the newly formed Bay Crocodile River Army Marines from the waterway and up the mud conch river. In addition to these bay crocodile men, hundreds of large bay crocodiles they raised also followed them, and the mighty and mighty even the surging water of the Niluo River seemed to flow backwards because of their advance. As for the other fighters of the raiding group, this time they can only cooperate with the crocodile marines and play the role of green leaves. This is also what Old Man Ao meant, the soldiers of the plundering regiment have been accustomed to certain routines in the past battles, which is not a good thing, on land, they can indeed be the king and hegemon, which is also determined by their strong combat effectiveness. However, this time, if you want to sweep the Niluo River, it is not determined by the combat effectiveness on land, the key depends on the performance of these bay crocodile warriors.
The indigenous people along the Niluo River are not easy to mess with, and if they want to fight them on land, Old Man Ao also believes that the soldiers of the raiding regiment can handle it. But it is undeniable that if you want to fight with them, you may also incur huge losses, and dancing on the tip of the knife and gun, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes. And if it was the Gulf Crocodile River Army Marines who were in charge, it would be completely different, first of all, there was almost no one who could compete with them in the water. If they make trouble in the water, it means that there is no opponent, but the water source is the lifeblood of all living things, and at that time. Can't you still clean up these natives properly? Originally, Old Man Ao did not approve of such a sharp approach, thinking that it was somewhat noisy. But Commander Cao's reason is equally unassailable, the hostility at the current stage is only for peace and unity in the future.
Even a guy as proud and conceited as Captain Cao had to admit that the current raiding group power was nothing, at least when it was compared to the powerful Rex Empire. Captain Cao also understands the truth of being prepared for danger in times of peace, the reason why he wants to expand so actively, others don't know, but Old Man Ao knows what kind of he has in his stomach. Captain Cao is so strong, he just didn't say it directly. He clearly felt the pressure that was coming, so he started to race against time. If the raiding group was still like this when the people from the Rex Empire came to the door, it would really not be easy to win.
Throughout his career, Captain Cao was often referred to as a bastard who pushed, inspired, transformed, and harassed his brothers. But these are relative to outsiders, but Commander Cao's popularity and prestige internally are quite high, and no one has ever expressed criticism, and his command is naturally like a command. Including the newly joined Gulf Crocodile River Army Marines, who have gone through several brainwashing sessions. It seems to have become the mainstay of the raiding group. These guys now often rush out the door shouting in the name of the beast god, and before that, they had almost turned their backs on the beast god. This has to be said to be an interesting change, although Captain Cao is not ashamed to use religion to brainwash others in many cases. But he had to admit that religion was definitely a very good place to start. After tailoring a few lessons for these bay crocodiles, they were infected and nurtured with excellent results, even by elders such as Gustav. I have been able to tell some allusions to the temple. Simmons was commissioned by Captain Cao to work day and night with a large group of bards from Stuttgart to help the Bay crocodile tribe write a history, which was clearly to help them fabricate a history. Regardless of whether its content is seven true or three false. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, Captain Cao just wants them to have a family history that they can be proud of.
Captain Cao did his best for them, and they were naturally willing to work for Captain Cao. The dirty work that they hadn't thought about before, and even the bad things that were enough to be poked in the back and scolded by others, not only did they not refuse, but they also added fuel to the fire as if they were already members of the plundering group. It was a storm that suddenly visited the Mudloch River Valley, because they were making trouble everywhere, and the neighbors around the Mudloch were already scolding. But there was nothing they could do, and the people of the raiding group were simply a swarm of flies, lingering and daring not to leave. For example, how disgusting have these guys been these days? O'Neill and a large group of sturdy and well-dressed bay crocodiles who rely on fish skin and water rely on each meal, they appear in groups near the living water points of the tribes along the river. These scoundrels took their fig leaf in front of others, pulled out the big lump of shameful things, and began to pee into the river. But any normal person, seeing these guys doing this, is definitely turning their stomachs upside down.
The young men of those tribes have not broken out, but when they rushed to the river with hoes and machetes, the first thing that greeted them was definitely not the brave confrontation of O'Neill and others, but a large number of giant bay crocodiles carrying heavy loads and floats on the riverside. The bay crocodiles raised by O'Neill and others are all carefully selected good seedlings, and each one is not inferior to the cultivated cattle on land, at least it weighs seven or eight hundred pounds. Although these beasts are very obedient, their murderous aura and ruthless eyes characteristic of cold-blooded animals make anyone who tries to enter the water in front of them look back on their life. In the end, the angry natives could only stare dryly from the shore and watch the bastards sit on the backs of giant bay crocodiles and fly away.
It's not that no one has thought of finding the person in charge of the plundering group, originally everyone was at peace with each other, but the current practice of the raiding group is undoubtedly provoking conflicts between neighbors. The mud bodhisattvas have three parts of the earth, not to mention these natives of the Niluo River Basin who have not suffered much at all. It's a pity that they returned in vain every time, and they didn't even see the face of Captain Cao, so they went home in disgrace. From the very beginning of this integration plan, Head Cao has a supporting plan, and this kind of harassment is just a meeting gift, and the excitement is still to come. When these natives tried to visit Captain Cao, Captain Cao meant. If they are allowed to see the main lord as soon as they come, they will not take it seriously, that is, they should first invite them to eat a few bowls of closed-door soup to kill their sharp spirit, so as to help the negotiation later.
The structure of the mud snail secluded land was originally rebuilt several times by the old man Ao and the head of the leather sect, and finally built this closed environment surrounded by water. Before, it was because it was inhabited by Leibit Bunnies who had little combat power, so this closed environment was also to protect them from harassment. Since the raiding group entered here, no one would worry that any blind guy would come here to find fault, and Captain Cao chose to close the door to thank the guests, just to improve his style. It makes people think that he is not easy to approach. To put it bluntly, Head Cao just wants to wait until these surrounding neighbors can't bear it anymore and are too annoying to mediate. When the time comes, all you need is one singing red face and the other singing white face, and you can temporarily betray these bay crocodile warriors. As long as Regiment Commander Cao insists that they are not his own people, who can refute them? There are only two choices left for them, or they will obey the unified dispatch and coordination of Regiment Commander Cao and become a friendly subsidiary force of the plundering regiment. Or, or drag your family to another place to make a living. Who would give up this rare fertile land in the Exiled Realm? It will only be the former.
It's just that the good times didn't last long, just when Captain Cao crossed Erlang's legs and made wishful thinking. A small episode brought Captain Cao's plan to an abrupt halt. In order to avoid the natives who came to negotiate, the head of the Cao regiment had ordered the suspension bridge to be hung for many days. But from a certain day. Suddenly, the natives who had been jumping out of the mud snail every day disappeared in an instant, as if they had agreed with each other, and they were all gone.
Captain Cao really felt a bit evil. So he didn't forget to let O'Neal lead the team to increase the intensity of harassment. The behavior of the Crocodile River Army Marines became more and more excessive day by day, and they even began to blatantly set foot in the territory of other natives to make trouble, but they did not let them visit the mud snail again. This made Captain Cao uncomfortable. He originally wanted to whet the appetite of others, but others didn't eat this set, but this change made Captain Cao not know what to do next. If you want to say that you are officially tearing your face with these natives, Captain Cao can't do it, after all, others didn't provoke him to plunder the group, so it's reasonable and reasonable, it's all Captain Cao's side that can't be justified.
Just when Captain Cao was so anxious that he was scratching his ears and cheeks, Curry found Captain Cao as if he was burning his buttocks, and said, "Boss, there is an old guy at the door of our house who is pretending to be forced, and the scene is a little uncontrollable, you hurry up and take a look!"
Curry's personality is known to Captain Cao. Don't look at him as a half-sized kid, but as an excellent shooter, Curry's mentality is very calm and calm, and he will never be untargeted. Only real special circumstances would make him so out of shape. Therefore, Captain Cao did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked out of the mud snail secluded place. As a result, Chief Cao saw an unforgettable scene in his life, and someone did pretend to be forced to the door of Chief Cao's house, and it has aroused the onlookers of many residents in the mud snail area.
On the other side of the artificial moat in the mud snail secluded place, an old man with white hair was sitting on the edge of the moat fishing! This old man was so unique that one glance at him would impress him very much. He had a pair of very conspicuous white horns on his head, and at a glance he knew that this old fellow must be an orc, a Minotaur of the Boer tribe. The old minotaur with white hair, coupled with the pair of pure white horns on his head, made his whole person look like a fairy wind bone. Even though he was old, his body was very burly, and he sat there motionless like a mountain, like a statue.
Fishing in the mud snail river is a very normal thing, and Old Man Ao will also do this pastime when he has nothing to do. But from the scene point of view, Old Man Ao has to bow down. The reason is very simple, when Mr. Ao was fishing, he was sitting on a special Taishi chair, someone was holding a parasol behind him, and someone next to him was holding tea and water and ordering cigars, which was completely enjoying life. As for fishing, it's just a formality, anyway, Head Cao has never eaten the fish caught by Mr. Ao, and according to the Michelin chefs of the food group, Mr. Ao has never caught a fish. Basically, the vast majority of the residents in the mud snail secluded land knew that Old Man Ao might be respectable in other aspects, but in the field of fishing, he was simply inferior. He was like an astrologer of an uncertain prophet, and with so much water in the Niluo River, he was always able to drop the bait where there were no fish. It's fair to say that it's like this for a day or two, it's like this every day, and that's weird.
Looking at this old minotaur fishing, just the unique pomp makes people feel that this old guy is not an idle person. In order to let the natives who came to call the door retreat, Captain Cao specially asked O'Neill and others to drive dozens of mud snail river Dawan crocodiles into this moat, pretending to be a mud snail and a lonely place that was also suffering from crocodiles. These crocodiles, like the pitbulls raised by Iverson and others, also have the function of guarding the home, but whenever they see strangers appearing, these beasts will inevitably rush up in groups, and even chase ashore to intimidate others.
So the normal situation should be that once someone appears by the moat, as long as they are not inhabitants of the mud snail secluded land, it will inevitably attract these large bay crocodiles to attack. But the old minotaur, whom he had never seen before, sat by the river fishing, and the fierce and large bay crocodiles did not act harshly on him, but gathered around him, basking in the sun with their mouths wide open! Even though they were cold-blooded animals, they seemed much more docile than domesticated domestic dogs. Even when O'Neill and the others whistled to call, these bay crocodiles turned a deaf ear and remained motionless as if they were petrified. This rare picture for eternity is amazed to see all the people in the mud snail...... (To be continued.) )
