Chapter 16: Takeo

After identifying the opponent, everyone began to enter the empty rooms to rest.

Turaka arranged for the group to enter a room with several beds and an earthen stove for boiling water.

Andrew and Fryce felt strange when they came in.

The entrance to this room is in the middle of a rectangular room, and when you enter the door, you can see rows of wooden beds, the left end looks like a toilet, and the earthen stove on the right is boiling hot water, and next to it are wooden basins and various jars.

Andrew wondered, "Who is living here?" Why are there so many people in the family?"

Fryce was equally surprised that there were no livestock, and there were no pendants of all kinds that normal people had.

Lawrence walked in from the outside at this time and looked around the house.

"This is the camp I arranged for Tukara to make, and I sent people to prepare these places to live long before winter."

"In the future, whenever our troops go to a place, they will have to solve the problem of food and accommodation."

"Potatoes and meat and eggs were stocked here, and from the morning after we set off, people on the estate were carrying us vegetables, food and clothing on time."

"I told you a long time ago, don't destroy it, whether it's the igloo we live in or the place now."

"Be careful, don't on the bed, and don't pee on the bed like a child! There are barrels next to it that will allow you to solve your problems. ”

"It's like our camp, and we'll come and live here in the future, whether it's a quilt or a house or a jar, it's just like the things in the communal kitchen, and we take good care of it."

Andrew didn't think it was so good, but said with disgust: "It's too troublesome, let's just go and grab those guys' things, and then use them casually!" ”

Andrew, who said what was in his heart, was very happy and proposed to everyone: "Use things casually, smash them casually, and burn them when they run out!" ”

Andrew's proposal did not win the support of the rest.

Both Fryce and the soldiers around him remained silent.

Lawrence checked it and made sure it was okay before turning and walking to the door.

Andrew looked at everyone suspiciously, and then at Fryce.

"Speak! Why don't you speak? Are your ears frozen? ”

Lawrence went out from the door and said helplessly: "Andrew, we are not robbers or bandits now, we are fighting to live better, not to bully others." ”

"Everyone treats this place as their home, go in and rest, if it's cold, burn an extra brazier to keep warm, and if you're thirsty, you can drink the hot water in the pot, and use the jar here first."

"Our logistics team should have arrived in the afternoon, and now we can rest in place, sleep or look around."

Andrew felt bored listening to Lawrence's words, "We're not here to fight?" ”

Lawrence said helplessly: "Tomorrow you will rush forward first, and have a good rest today." ”

Andrew said directly: "I think it's okay today, I'm very good now!" ”

Lawrence didn't expect that the first person who didn't listen to orders was not a Vakiri, nor Fryce and the others, or the previous Stahl, but Andrew.

This kind of thing is actually not unexpected, and Andrew himself is not a person to be persuaded.

At first, it was Andrew who was the main player, and the rest of the people did not have the strength to oppose his decision.

The situation now is that Andrew is still used to his way of thinking.

Lawrence thought for a few seconds, "I don't know much about the Viper tribe, so let's eat a meal first, rest for two hours before we set off." ”

Andrew excitedly said: "Good! But half an hour is fine, give us some meat and wine, and when we are done eating and drinking, we will go and cut off the heads of those people! ”

"I'm almost overbearing, and so are you?!"

Andrew looked excitedly at Fryce and the others.

Fryce and the others were reluctant to take Andrew's words at this time.

Fryce suggested, "If we can win, we will have to bring back a lot of slaves." ”

"Of course we have to win! Follow me this time and I'll prove how good I am! "Andrew has completely discouraged him.

Lawrence didn't want to exacerbate the conflict, and he had long understood that there were many strange things in his people.

Since ancient times, Takeo has been a group of people who do not like to listen to others' discipline.

It is true that the barbarians are strong, but the barbarians who are superior in extreme environments pay more attention to violence and force.

A big fist is the truth, and that's true, but it's not good to be too extreme.

Do you have to have a big fist to cooperate with your own people?

Lawrence said calmly: "Andrew, although your life is many years longer than mine, but the experience of robbery and victory is not as good as mine, I have grown from two people to more than 8,000 people in five years. ”

"And now I'm still growing, getting more land and people."

"No matter how strong a person's strength is, it is limited, no matter how powerful you are, you can't push the mountains, and you can't kill the earth and the violent bear."

"But we can, by gathering the strength of all of us, we can achieve a bigger, more dazzling victory."

"Our warriors have endured the cold and hunger for a long time in the cold winter today, and what they need is rest, not to fight to the death with your energetic spirit."

"Your bravery is commendable and worthy of emulation by all, like the blade of an axe, it needs to be used in the best place."

"Your axe is definitely not only the blade, but also a group of companions behind you to help you."

Lawrence said to the soldiers standing in the courtyard, "Go in and rest, drink some hot water to warm up, and I will have hot food and a brazier to warm your feet." ”

"Don't hurt the people here, don't hit them!"

The soldiers, who had been standing for three or four minutes, quickly shouted: "Yes, prophet! ”

The crowd quickly entered the house to rest, and Andrew and Fryce also went in to rest.

Lawrence wasn't sure if Andrew had listened, and after standing for a few seconds, he went to discuss with Turaka about waiting for the attack.

"If we can defeat the leader of the Viper tribe, we will be able to take their village," Turaka said. ”

"But I don't think the Viper tribe wants to fight us, they just destroyed our past boat last time, and didn't kill our people, and Reglo finally swam back."

Lawrence asked, "Is Reglo okay?" ”

Turaka smiled, "She's fine, she'll come later." ”

The foresters were more numerous, divided into two villages, Tukara was in charge of the riverside one, and Legro was in charge of the one in the forest.

Lawrence and Leglow went into the house to have dinner over the fire, inquired carefully about the arrangements for this winter, and offered some advice.

Winters here are slightly warmer than upstream, and with forests protected from wind, it's easy to carry through winter as long as you're prepared to protect against moisture and snow.

Lawrence thought about Andrew's affairs, and felt that Andrew was still suitable for fighting outside, otherwise it would affect the harmony of the army too much here.

It just so happens that the Vakiri people also need a leader, and Andrew is not suitable for living with the Bumician and the current mountain people, so he is suitable for playing with the Vakiri!

Obedient Vakiri, such as Crete, can be organized into a defensive force to dominate law and order and construction.

There are definitely a lot of thorns in the Vakiri, and these people are a danger to the entire territory, so let them and Andrew form a berserker force to harm others.
