Chapter 24: In the North (5)

"So, what are you going to do with these people?"

Sunel frowned, looked at Constantine who was drinking mead leisurely on the side, and Gado on the side poured him wine respectfully, with an expression of extreme admiration.

In the snow, more than 300 highlander warriors were tied up like rice dumplings. Sitting in a group, he lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word, and he couldn't help but worry about his fate.

Eighty Roman warriors surrounded the perimeter, forming an encirclement, watching their every move vigilantly, but the sword was already in its sheath.

Eighty men are guarding more than 300 people -- this is really ironic, and what is even more ironic is that these 300 people have just been beaten by these 80 people.

"These lads are from the Shidfu tribe, the children of that old thing in Bastana. Sunel sighed tiredly: "I can't let them have an accident with me, even if they make any mistakes, they have to be left to the elders of Shidfu." ”

"I wasn't going to hurt them. Konstantin tossed his glass to Gado, smiled and walked over, pointing to his captives: "I will exchange them for the hostages they have taken, the poor ones who have suffered unjustly. ”

"Of course you can!" The old man nodded, this kind of thing, even among the highlanders, is a matter of course, if you want to, it is normal to ask for some compensation, but it is estimated that Konstantin does not look down on Szdford's broken copper and iron, he just wants to deal with this matter quickly.

"Then it's settled, get this done quickly, and we'll go back and drink!" Konstantin's indifferent expression made Sunel smile bitterly - this guy, who is the highlander?

"So, do you want me to be caught one by one and crucified and tortured, or do you take the initiative?!" the commander shouted with a sneer: "Who is your leader?!"

"No need to look for it!" a rough voice came out, and Barr took the initiative to stand up from the crowd, "I am!"

"Bastana's son, the future Great Chief of Shidfu, Barr!" the young man crossed his neck and looked at Konstantin with a proud cold eye: "Say it! What do you want!"

"Very well, it seems that you are a qualified man. Konstantin nodded and deliberately said loudly: "Go! tie him up and send him to Shidver to exchange hostages with Bastana!"

Hearing this, Barr immediately turned cold from his head to the soles of his feet, and his face turned green - if this was really sent to his father, it would not only be a matter of shame.

The main thing is that Barr sneaked out!

If he was sent back like this, he could imagine what his father would be furious about, his current status would definitely not be guaranteed, and it was normal to abolish his inheritance in a fit of anger, and after doing such a shameful thing, what other samurai in the tribe would be willing to follow him?!

He is not the same as Gado - Gado is the only seedling of Sunel, and it is difficult to have another son at the old man's age, so he has an indisputable inheritance. There are a dozen younger brothers behind Barr who are peeking at his current position!

The biggest difference between the highlanders and the south is not the primogeniture system, but the fact that which son of the chief has the highest prestige among the younger generation.

Seeing that the two soldiers on the opposite side were about to carry themselves away, Barr quickly dodged away, and then roared loudly: "I don't accept it! I don't accept it!

"You're not convinced?" Konstantin walked up to him with a sneer and grabbed his head: "Weishenme?"

"You cheat!" Barr roared, his eyes red, and he stared at Konstantin viciously: "You cheat!"

"Are we cheating?" Konstantin looked behind him, looking inexplicable, and spread his hands: "You four hundred people ambushed and attacked eighty of us, and you actually said that we were cheating?!"

"Heheheheha............ha

The group of warriors hahadaxiao rose up, not shying away from their mockery, and the Shidfu blushed, buried his head, closed his eyes, and pretended to be an ostrich.

"You have the ability to duel with me! Fight with me!One-on-one!" Barr didn't care about the ridicule in the other party's words, his blood swelled, and he shouted: "I'm afraid you don't have the guts!"

"Fight with me?" Konstantin sneered even more, turned around and walked towards his soldiers: "Gado, untie him, give him back his weapon, let him fight with me!"

"Understood!" Gado despised Baal's ignorance of current affairs, and dared to make such a stupid request, and casually threw Baal's two-handed axe to him: "Take it!"

"I can fight you. Konstantin drew two short swords from the saddle of the war horse, and walked up to Baal with a sword flower, with a relaxed look: "As long as you can win me, I will let you go, and let your people go, and even compensate you for your losses." ”

"Why should I trust you?!" Barr weighed his tomahawk, his suspicious gaze wandering, searching for an escape route to prevent the man in front of him from cheating.

β€œhahahahahaha............”

The warriors behind hahadaxiao, laughing at the young man's inadequacy.

"You can not believe me, but you don't have a choice!" the commander nodded and looked at him with a slight smile, "So, what are you going to do?"

"Kill you!"

In the angry eyes of everyone, Barr suddenly burst out, picked up the battle axe and swung it towards Konstantin, the heavy axe was driven by inertia, and even made the wooden handle become a little bent, and the momentum sank!

Konstantin immediately crouched down, let the axe fly over his head, and held the hilt of his sword back, and the whole person jumped forward like a spring, and the bronze handle hit Barr's chin, and an inattentive one made him bite his tongue, and blood spurted from his mouth.

Barr, who had been broken, did not learn his lesson in the slightest, and bared his teeth like a beast, his eyes red and glared at Constantine, making his eyes squint and his relaxed hands break out.

Barr roared, his muscles turning redβ€”it was evident that the blood was sped up, as if he had been drugged, and he rushed forward again, and the tomahawk was dragged to the ground, and after approaching, he swung it upward!

"Bang!"

With a loud thud, Baal's tomahawk was jammed by Konstantin with his blade - he blocked the slash with only his right hand!

On Konstantin's right arm, the muscles bulged out like a tarsal insect, and he exhaled violently, his eyes full of murderous intent that Barr couldn't help but want to retreat.

Where is this cowardly southerner, this is clearly a black bear in the big forest!

But he didn't have a chance.

Konstantin threw a heavy hook that hit him on the left side of his face, and Barr remained in the air for a short second before falling to the ground!

Barr, who was in a trance, was dragged up by Konstantin and shook it vigorously several times before becoming more sober.

"Listen, young man!" Konstantin looked at him disdainfully, "Don't try to provoke those you can't afford to mess with, especially when you're still weak!"

"You won. Barr became calm at this time: "Kill me, my father will not take revenge on you, kill me." ”

"Phew-!" With a mouthful of spit, Konstantin threw his sword to his soldiers and walked up to Sunel: "Untie them and let them go back." ”

"I owe you a favor, my old fellow. The old man nodded helplessly: "I will personally go to Szdver and tell Bastana about this." ”

"Let's hope he's not too bad-tempered. Konstantin smiled: "I beat his son like this, and you will definitely fight with me!"

"You can't bear it. The old man smiled slightly: "You are reluctant to beat him!"

"Hah!" Konstantin did not deny: "I think you would say the same thing." ”

"The Romans, and the Highlanders. Sunel patted Konstantin on the shoulder: "Hopefully we can go on like this forever." ”

"Maybe it could have been better. Konstantin smiled, as if talking to himself, or thinking of something: "My old friend, you will understand sooner or later." ”

"Understand what?" the old man asked with a smile, "how are the Romans different from other southerners?"

"No, it's not just that. Konstantin shook his head and looked at him with a serious look: "Romans, not a certain people, but a full name, the full name of all those who shine under its banner, they will be called Romans, whether the skin is white or yellow, from the north or the south, whether the hair is black or golden, whether the eyes are blue or green, that is what it means to be a Roman." ”

Seeing the old man's puzzled expression, Konstantin patted him on the back enthusiastically: "Forget it, you will know later." ”

"What are you going to do?!"

Barr looked at the untied warriors in astonishment, and looked at Konstantin in great puzzlement: "I keep my promise, you can kill me, weishenme still don't do it?

"You fought well, you can go back to your tribe and take your warriors with you, they are innocent. Konstantin looked at him expressionlessly: "My compatriots are also innocent, you must let them go!"

"Go back, remember what happened today, and don't make the same mistake again. Konstantin looked no further at him, turned and mounted his horse, and trotted away, followed by his warriors, and then Ryan's, following behind.

Shocked, puzzled, confused, aggrieved, lost.................. All these emotions in Zuihou have turned into anger, hatred and pain!

"You'll regret it! You'll regret it, I swear!" Towards the figure of the group in the distance, Barr raised his head to the sky and roared, his anger rushing into his chest, and the pain of grievance pierced into his chest like a sharp sword!

"You will regret it! I, Bal, will never share a land with the Romans, I will kill you until I die, and if you don't kill me today, I will kill you in the future!!!!"

In the wind and snow of the northern country, a oath carved by a northerner with blood was recorded, and scattered in this howling wind, even the mountains and forests wept and lamented.

"Romans!!Baal is your eternal enemy-!!!!!!!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Outside the Ryan tribe, Sunel brought Gado to see off Konstantin.

"Like I said, I'll go to Szdver myself and tell the old thing the whole story. The old man smiled and looked at his friend: "Don't worry!"

"Then I don't think you will refuse a warrior's companion. Konstantin beckoned, and the adjutant who had just arrived came over: "This is my adjutant, the person I trust the most, and he will go with you." ”

"Absolutely!"

"Hats off, Chief. The adjutant smiled and lowered his head: "I hope it will be a pleasant trip." ”

"That's it. The commander smiled and said goodbye to the two, got on his horse and was about to leave.

"I'm going to Rome!"

Gado suddenly raised his head and looked at Konstantin: "Take me away, I'm going to Rome, to Caesarea!"

β€œweishenmeοΌŸβ€

"For I want to see with my own eyes, to see your people. Gado said seriously: "I want to see with my own eyes whether the Romans are really what you say!"

"Sunel!"

"The child wants to leave the house and go on a wandering, how can the father stop him?" the old man kindly stroked Jiado's hair: "When you come back, you are the Great Chief of Ryan!"

"Father............

There was no crying and no pain, just bowed his head and bent over.

Konstantin was silent for a while, then took a silver ring from his hand and handed it to Gado's hand: "When you get to Caesarea, go find someone named Febius, who is my brother, or you can go to my nephew Ustan, they can arrange it for you, you can go to the academy, go to the most haode academy in Caesarea! you can know everything you want to know there!"

"Xiexie you, I will. Gado solemnly put the ring in the pocket of his clothes and wrapped it, and bowed deeply to Konstantin: "I will look with my heart and see what I want to see!"

"I just did what an elder should do. Konstantin touched his nose, and suddenly remembered something, and suddenly: "Ahh

"Oh, by the way, you'd better bring another good horse when the time comes. Konstantin smiled: "As long as you go to participate, the Romans of Caesarea will remember you whether you win or lose!"

β€œweishenmeοΌŸβ€

"Because the Romans worship warriors!" said the commander, laughing intoxicatedly, as if remembering something.

("Bar", "special", "and" can't be used, but it has to be Barr, of course it doesn't matter, although I like this trick, really.) οΌ‰
