Chapter 70: A Peculiar Spoils of War
It can be said that until this moment, Commander Cao really grasped the true command of this team. used violent means to abolish several high-ranking members of the Firefox Legion and put them under house arrest, and then vigorously handed over the position to the general headquarters, and led the team to attack overnight. In the end, such a critical situation was created, so that everyone had no way out. is so linked, it is absolutely impossible for people to believe that this is not a premeditated plan by Head Cao.
When the reinforcements of the southern barbarians arrived at the mountain savage tribe station, all they saw were corpses all over the ground, as well as devastated ruins, as for the perpetrators, they had already disappeared into the forest and snow fields behind the defense line of the southern barbarian alliance. Judging from the footprints left by this raiding force and a series of other clues, it is not that they cannot be pursued and killed, but in the end, no one really pursues and intercepts them. Because the people of the southern barbarians felt that the troops who had attacked the defensive line were obviously not prepared, otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why they did not have enough time to retreat the same way, but chose an uncertain way to escape, which gave people the impression that it was very ridiculous.
After the reinforcements of the southern barbarians only reported the matter to the high man, no one paid any attention to this enemy. It's not that they have a lot of nerves, it's that they agree that there's no need for that at all. Even they knew that, with the exception of a very small number of adventurers, the people north of the Crimson Blood Great Plains had never had a team of thousands of people rushing into the 100,000 mountains south of the Crimson Blood Great Plains.
Many people say that if you can climb over 100,000 mountains, you will be able to reach the legendary South Coast of Miami, a dream place full of sunshine and sea breeze at all times. But how many people have actually been to Miami's South Coast? Even these natives who live in the mountains of 100,000 have never had the luxury of seeing that unique atmosphere in their lifetime. Why? Because once they leave their familiar living environment, it means endless danger. All the time. The people who fought against the Beamon Empire were only the barbarian tribes near the Red Blood Plain, and as for the 100,000 mountains like the Endless Forest, they knew very little. The reason why they want to go north is because they feel that they can't afford to provoke the horror of the boundless mountains.
If you don't go after this team, it's because there's no need for that. In this place. If you're not native, a lot of times you don't even know how you died. This statement is not an exaggeration at all, so they unanimously believe that if this team does not want to die in the deep mountains and old forests for no reason, they will be cornered sooner or later and obediently come out. As for searching the mountains to encircle and suppress them, it is estimated that even those decision-makers in the high position of Gate will not think about it, it is too much waste of time and manpower, and if anyone has the leisure to do so, they may have already repelled the army of Beamon on the other side.
Captain Cao on the other side is actually very cunning. After taking the path and climbing two mountains, Commander Cao stopped fleeing and ordered everyone to set up camp. Even if the hardware conditions are not particularly good, at least it can ensure that everyone does not die cold on this halfway up the mountain.
"Knight Redick, have you lost your anger a little now, and if you have the leisure to sulk, I think you might as well come and eat some meat and drink with us. Head Cao patted the shoulder of Reddick, who had been silent all the way, and handed over a wine bag to him. The ten heroes of the raiding group all had several large skin bags hanging on their bodies, which were obviously prepared for a long time.
"You bastard! you're going to be cursed sooner or later!" Reddick said angrily. He put on a depressed expression of "Brother just wants to be alone now, don't come to comfort me", as if Head Cao owed him a lot of money.
"I understand, totally. You're not the first person to say that, and I sincerely hope that your dreams will come true one day. But even if you want to be angry. You can't get along with these good things, can you?" Captain Cao couldn't help but stuff the big cigar he had just lit into Reddick's mouth, with a relaxed smile on his face.
Everyone is a spear and shield in one, just like Reddick is now. Although he was very unhappy with the style and means of doing things like Head Cao, he did feel from the bottom of his heart that people like Head Cao were outstanding. In a sense, Reddick even has a bit of an indescribable appreciation. Take his methods like a nervous disorder, where can ordinary people do it, they don't even dare to think about it!
"I don't think you've ever known what worry is, have you?" Redick took a big sip of wine, and the strong fragrance of the hairy platform instantly made Reddick's face flush with two balls. Reddick pointed to the misty mountains and forests in the distance, and said, "See? It's like that place, there is a poisonous fog everywhere, how can we deal with it? In these deep mountains and old forests, there are so many poisonous snakes and beasts, what are your plans? We don't know anything about this ghost place, how can you make me believe you?"
In the gradual morning light, everything around them can be seen clearly, after working for most of the night, almost everyone is now in a state of emotional tension, and no one is sleepy. Like Reddick, they won't let go of their worries because of Captain Cao's two nonsense words.
"Poisonous fog? What's the trouble, even if we rely on our lungs, we can survive it. Snakes and beasts are so cute, I think everyone should be really tempted to drink some broth or something after a busy night, just wait for some raw materials now. Captain Cao's heartless smile made Reddick completely helpless.
"How far have we escaped now?I really don't know what's going on in your head, aren't you worried about those Nanban chasing after you?When will you not have this damn attitude towards your comrades?" Reddick knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so he could only sigh to himself. People like Captain Cao can be described in two words, and there is no solution.
"Don't worry, I can guarantee that if there is a pursuer, I will let everyone know as soon as possible. Captain Cao dragged Curry, who was secretly drinking, over, and then pointed to Curry's pointed ears and said, "See, buddy's professional team has professional personnel, this is an ancient elf clan, and it can also form a certain degree of communication with the surrounding plants." I want to be at the beginning. Lao Tzu led the raiding group to cross the Endless Forest in a hurry, so many dangers, and did not sacrifice the lives of a brother. ”
Captain Cao is very good at using the topic to play, and Curry was helpless by him. Unless there are elven trees growing everywhere, Curry is at most familiar with jungle life, and at this moment, he is referred to by Captain Cao as a deer as a horse. Curry could only cooperate vaguely and didn't say anything through.
However, Captain Cao's words were still shocking, and looking at his appearance, he didn't seem to be bragging. How dare this big-backed bastard even lead so many people across the Everfree Forest?These things, just thinking about it, already make people feel unreasonable, and everyone can accept the things he is doing now, at least these things are much more reliable than crossing the Endless Forest. The Ten Heroes of the Raiding Regiment were also bragging wildly with the warriors of the Firefox Legion, and when they saw the shocked eyes around them. They just smiled very reservedly and never answered positively, which is the essence of pretending to be forced.
The opera starring the raider troupe can scare them into peeing their pants with just a prelude, and it's not a big deal. It's like those rebellious youths bragging to the good students about how wonderful life in society is, and those who haven't experienced it will never understand their way of life.
"Speaking of Reddick, you are also an old veteran who participated in the Southern Expedition before. My brother had just seized a little bit of supplies, but he didn't know what it would do. I'd like to ask you about it. Captain Cao glanced at him, and the Ten Masters of the Raiding Regiment hurriedly placed several large clay jars in front of Reddick with a look of anticipation.
"Damn, do you want to be shameless? So indifferent and courteous, just so that Lao Tzu can help you answer your questions? Don't do it!" Redick rolled his eyes angrily, he knew that there was no wine in the world that was drunk in vain. Especially this big back.
"That's a good question! I'm innocent, and I don't sell my body for show, and I don't have a shame. If you explain to us, I'll give you a little bit of the spoils, wouldn't everyone be happy? Where is the minimum trust between people?" Captain Cao smiled, and when he asked for help, he still had to put it down.
If it weren't for the fact that Regiment Commander Cao and the Ten Masters of the Raiding Regiment couldn't figure out what these things were doing after studying for a long time, they wouldn't have been so dead and begging. This is a few large jars of black balls, with a strong smell of herbs, although it doesn't look good, and it doesn't even make people eat it**, but according to the ten heroes of the raiding group, these things are all from a tent guarded by many people in the mountain savage tribe, and it stands to reason that they should be more valuable items.
According to Captain Cao's obscenity, this is likely to be a very valuable herb or something, preferably like the kind of elixir in those knight novels that may greatly increase people's strength if they eat it. Even if it is a little bit, it can't live and die human flesh and bones, at least it can have the same effect as gold sore medicine, and it is also very suitable for the battlefield. Beamon's witch doctor doesn't have this kind of ability anyway, but it doesn't mean that the barbarians in the south don't have this ability, their unique way of living is destined to have a different cultural tradition from Beamon, maybe they are very good at studying herbal medicine. According to Captain Cao's values, as long as there are practical things, they are all treasures, and they can arouse his extremely strong **.
"Why are you so interested in this kind of thing?" Jessica also leaned over to take a look curiously, but Jessica's face turned red just after one glance.
"Oh, Miss Jessica, do you know what this thing is? Great! Hurry up and explain it to our big guys, don't let us be like dirt buns, we don't understand anything, what a shame!" Captain Cao rubbed his hands excitedly.
"This thing, it's called...... It's called Blester...... "Although he was explaining these dirt buns to Captain Cao, Jessica's bloodless cheeks became redder and redder, and her voice was almost inaudible like a gnat. If it weren't for the tip of Captain Cao's ears, it would almost be impossible to hear what she was saying.
"What the hell is the name of Blester? Listening to this name, it is a bit of a lofty taste, but these Southern Barbarians don't know what packaging is! Even if it is a good thing, it can't be placed so casually! In this world, the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, and good things must have good enough packaging before they can be sold at a high price!" However, this did not affect the interest of the head of the Cao regiment, he was already thinking about how to make a fortune. For Chief Cao, who is now doing a prosperous business, these business experiences are already backwards.
Reddick and the other group of Smoke and Silver Knights looked at each other for a long time, and finally couldn't help but laugh wildly. Indeed, as Captain Cao thought, these veterans who had fought the Southern Expedition did know what this black pill was, but it was rare to see Commander Cao's monkey appearance scratching his ears and cheeks before he deliberately did not explain, and when they heard Captain Cao's statement, they could no longer be calm.
"I have to say, Captain Cao, your optimistic attitude is really refreshing. Reddick laughed for a long time, and finally stopped under the angry eyes of Captain Cao and the ten heroes of the raiding group, and said slowly: "This Bolestal is not a tall thing, this is the name of the southern barbarian language, if translated, the meaning of this noun is 'aphrodisiac', I don't know if I explain it like this, will it be more intuitive?" In addition, as far as we know, the fertility of the southern barbarians is so strong, to a large extent, it has to do with this kind of thing that they have made up with their earthwork, isn't it that the brothers of the raiding group have a problem in this regard?"
Even at this time, Reddick's explanation made many people laugh along, which really smacked of black humor. How these raiders managed to loot these loot looted looted was something that no one really had discovered, but looking at the nature of the looted things, it really matched their lewd style, and it really made the atmosphere a lot lighter.
"Fuck! It's an aphrodisiac?" Captain Cao almost didn't faint from anger, thanks to the fact that he had let the ten heroes of the plundering group hide and pinch well along the way, but he didn't expect it to be an aphrodisiac! )
