Chapter 141: Comparison of Strengths
Actually, Phoebe is also a hard-working person, after the war, after a long recuperation, she also gave her own spiritual cultivation techniques to Petty when she left, although she didn't say it, but Ouyang Feng knew that she wanted to make up for it as much as possible to make up for the pain she brought to Ouyang Feng, which was also her attitude, although it only represented her personal position, but this was enough.
To put it bluntly, everyone has different positions, each is its own master, and no one is right or wrong in that big war, and you can only blame this damn war.
And after that, Ouyang Feng's heart also underwent a huge change, no longer judging the good or bad of individuals only by their positions and camps, completely putting aside the inherent point of view, to discover the good and evil in the hearts of everyone who cares, which is also the reason why Ouyang Feng had the ability to destroy those people but didn't do that after leaving Qingyuan City, Ouyang Feng had the ability to destroy those people but didn't do that.
Ouyang Feng continued to ask, "You haven't said why you didn't hand over those friends of mine. β
Harry smiled stiffly: "Do you need a reason? Since they live in our Falling Water Village, they are a member of our Falling Water Village." Needless to say, Harris's meaning is clear.
Ouyang Feng gave a thumbs up appreciatively and said, "Responsible, benevolent and righteous." β
Harris said a little embarrassed: "It's not as noble as you said, everyone has discussed this matter at the beginning, and there were differences of opinion, and later it was the village chief Jacques who reminded those who advocated compromise that if there is a first time, there will be a second time, if this time the compromise is made, hand over the blue and white to Guanlan Village, then in the future, if your daughter or the spirit grass you find is taken by the other party, is it a threat from the other party." Do you have to compromise obediently?"
Ouyang Feng smiled: "And then?"
Nick replied with adoration on his face, "And then those people were speechless." β
Ouyang Feng exclaimed: "The truth was met earlier by this far-sighted and wise village chief. β
After listening to the conversation between Ouyang Feng and Harris. Wei Canglan didn't figure out who this Phoebe was. What is the relationship with Ouyang Feng, he didn't have time to study this, so he asked Harris: "How many people are there in your Falling Water Village? I mean you can fight." β
Harris hesitated, felt no need to hide it from these people, and replied, "The adults together are probably less than two hundred. β
Wei Canglan then asked, "What about weapons and equipment, and how few they are in Jiyu Village?"
Harris nodded, "Pretty much, we're probably going to be able to arm half of our men." β
Zhan Tianhu asked suspiciously: "What about the other people who don't have weapons? It can't be that they go up empty-handed and fight the enemy hand-to-hand, right?"
Harris shook his head: "No, in addition to using some forks and other farm tools, we also made some homemade bows, arrows, spears and something." Although the texture is very poor, and there are no extra metal arrows or anything, it also has a certain lethality, as long as it hits the parts that are not protected by leather armor, it can cause a lot of damage. β
Zhan Tianhu touched his chin and asked, "How many leather armor do you have?"
Harris looked down at the scarred leather armor on his body, sighed and said, "This kind of thing is very expensive, much more expensive than ordinary swords, and we only have more than a dozen sets in Falling Water Village, which we usually wear when we go out." β
Zhan Tianhu then asked, "What about the other party, do they have a lot of weapons and armor?"
Harris nodded: "Over the years, they have exploited other villages, and they have obtained a lot of wealth, and they have no shortage of weapons and armor. More than one set of people. β
Nangong Tian said angrily: "How can you fight this? If you want no people, you want to be equipped or not." You fight with farm tools and each other's iron spears and swords, aren't you looking for death?"
Harris resolutely said: "Even if we die, we will not give in to the water village, if you are afraid to stay in the village of Jiyu, we will send someone to send those friends of yours when we go back." β
Nangong Tian raised his eyebrows: "Yo, the temperament is not small, is there something wrong with what I said?"
Harris resisted the anger in his heart: "You're right, and I'm the same. β
Ouyang Feng pouted and said: "Harris, I can tell you clearly, I am afraid of death, they are also afraid of death, as long as everyone is afraid of death, you are no exception, you don't have to deny this, everyone is the same." β
Ouyang Feng waved his hand to interrupt Harris's rebuttal: "But, some things are more important than life and death, this varies from person to person, some people can ignore life and death for dignity, some people fight to the death for wealth, and some people, such as us, can ignore life and death for friends, but wouldn't it be better if you didn't have to die?"
Harris was confused by Ouyang Feng's words, and asked with a puzzled face, "What do you mean?" Ouyang Feng rolled his eyes wildly, and finally said such a very philosophical sentence, but the other party didn't understand it at all, it was really a waste of feelings.
Nangong Tian glanced at Harris with disdain: "That is to say, you fight to the death with Guanlan Village for dignity, and we will also fight to the death with them for our friends, but if there is a better way, then there is no need to fight to the death." β
Harris nodded understandingly, "Do you have a better way?"
Nangong Tian spread his hands: "I don't." The crowd fell silent.
After a while, Nick spoke: "Uncle Harris, why don't we go to Fengming Village and let them send someone to help us, maybe we can stop Guanlan Village." β
Harris shook his head and said, "No, let's not talk about whether Fengming Village will help, even if they are willing to help, just their hundred or so people will not make a difference." β
Ouyang Feng's eyes lit up: "Didn't you say that there are many villages that are friendly with you? You can let them have some people from each village, isn't that okay?"
Harris smiled bitterly and said: "The friendship I said is only at the general level, they will not help this kind of life and death event, everyone is afraid of retaliation afterwards." β
Ouyang Feng pouted and said, "As long as you can defeat that Guanlan Village and several villages in the same stream at one time, do you still need to be afraid of retaliation?"
Harris continued with a wry smile: " How can it be so simple, Guanlan Village and those villages are the largest villages here, the population of each village is thousands, the largest Guanlan Village is even more than 10,000, even if all the other villages are combined, the number is not as large as them, not to mention that we have no weapons, no armor, their defense facilities are very strong, it is said that there are many ballistas, we can't do anything to them, even if we can successfully eliminate the hundreds of people they sent out this time, it is impossible for them to shake their roots, once they are angered, the consequences are unimaginable, even if all the other villages are destroyed, it is not impossible, so I said that other villages will not send people to helpγ β
Ouyang Feng's face was full of disapproval: "How do you know that it is impossible if you don't try?" I see that you are just frightened by Guanlan Village, and you are so scared that you dare not resist, if this continues, you will become weaker and weaker, and they will become stronger and stronger, and sooner or later they will be swallowed up by them one day." Harris smiled bitterly, he knew this very well, so they had never compromised in the water village, but what the truth was, they were still living in poverty, and there was no chance to turn over.
Ouyang Feng continued: "If, I mean, if I give money, a lot of money, do you think other villages will send people to help in the war?"
Harris was stunned, he had tried many times before to unite some villages against Guanlan Village, but those villages had made a quatrain with various reasons and excuses, and the idea of the alliance ended in failure, but Harris had never tried to hire this way, and he never thought about it, because they didn't have extra spars, but these people in front of them were different, they not only had great strength but also unimaginable financial resources, if they were really willing to come up with a large amount of spars, this matter was very likely to succeed, because he knew very well the desire of each village for spars, which was the foundation for all of them to survive, if there were enough spars, which is equivalent to having enough food, enough cloth, enough weapons, enough armor, enough everything, and even someone will leave here and take enough hedron to live in the outside world.
Seeing that Harris was a little moved, Ouyang Feng struck while the iron was hot: "If you think you have a chance, we can try." β
Harris hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why are you doing this? I mean why are you helping us? You could have left with your friends before Falling Water Village was breached." β
Ouyang Feng laughed: "I have a clear grievance, this incident can be said to be caused by those friends of mine, you did not abandon them at this moment of life and death, this is a favor, I have received the favor of others must be repaid, this is my purpose as a person, and I appreciate your village chief's personality." β
Harris pondered for a long time, reminding, "If you want to buy other villages, you need a lot of hedrons, a lot. β
Ouyang Feng didn't care, the spars didn't mean much to him at all: "There are a lot of them, how many spars do you think you need?"
Harris thought very seriously for a while, and finally was a little frightened by the number he came up with, and stretched out five fingers: "At least, at least 50,000 lower grade spars." β
Ouyang Feng was stunned: "How much?"
Harris sighed secretly, it seems that this number is still a little too high: "Actually, you don't need to buy all the villages, you only need to buy some of them to solve this crisis, if that's the case, 10,000 spars will be about the same." β
Ouyang Feng asked curiously, "How many villages do you have?"
Without even thinking about it, Harris replied, "There are about fifty villages, large and small. Ouyang Feng calculated: "In this case, an average of 1,000 spars per village is enough?"
Harris nodded: "Well, almost, a small village with a small population doesn't need that much, and a little more with a larger population." (To be continued.)
