"Everyone, we are discussing a serious and serious issue now. Be serious! Be serious! Don't laugh!"
Bolu suppressed his smile and sat in front of the workbench. He glanced at the few people in front of him.
Leonardo and Edith sat facing each other on both sides of the table. Leah, Zhu Ivy, and little Irene all gathered around and showed subtle smiles. They took out a lot of snacks from their pockets and found them from the cabinet.
Bolu was reluctant to take out the tea that he usually drank, so the scene was short of a melon.
"Sit down, cough, let's start now. Don't run away, sit down! Captain, you start from the origin of the matter."
Leonardo spoke with a helpless expression on his face:
"Everyone knows that we captured more than 400 bugbears in one go while chasing the defeated troops. Originally, I thought these bugbears were useless. They were not human beings, and they were a waste of manpower to feed and guard. So I immediately killed them.
I was going to physically destroy them, but Edith stopped me. So now the question is, how to deal with these things?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Edith began to retort tit for tat.
"When you talk about disposal, you seem to be implying that these things are useless at all and are completely large wet garbage!?"
Her voice trailed off very high.
"Is it useful? He eats a lot, he is fierce, he is stupid, he smells bad! And he is very ugly!"
"Then why did you catch them?"
Leonardo covered his forehead:
"No, I was going to chop them down, but you didn't let me chop them down!"
"I just didn't let you cut it, I didn't let you catch it!"
Bolu's face was almost deformed from the pain.
"If you don't capture them, they will become wandering bandits! This is not your forest! Human civilians have little ability to resist the bugbears! Okay, later on we even divided a team of people and took a bunch of captives.
Every time when we saw the broken troops, we rushed up and knocked down the ogre officers, and they dropped their weapons and knelt down. Let us kill these kneeling people. Well, the bugbears always felt that something was wrong, so they just
They were all captured."
Bolu patted the table:
"So! Here's the question! Now we're asking for outside opinions. Can bugbears really be considered human beings?"
The two words "bugbear" and "human" were "kind of" combined together, which made everyone feel that something was wrong.
Zhu Yiwei held the teacup and smacked her lips:
"I think it's too stupid, shouldn't it be counted?"
Leah spat out the fruit core in her mouth:
"How are bugbears the same as humans? I can't even explain. They were extremely ferocious at first, but after a beating they became timid. They kept trying to dig holes in the fence to escape. They were like dogs with bad owners. They shouldn't be.
Calculate!"
Little Irene put down the small notebook in her hand, with a few words written on it: Research on the living habits of bugbears.
"Anyway, I don't think they count. They need to eat a meal for two people!? Unless they can do the work of four people, I don't agree to provide them with meals according to the standards of a pack horse!"
Polu summed it up: "The off-field score is 3:0! Everyone thinks bugbears are not considered humanoids!"
"The bugbears also have basic intelligence. They can speak simple sentences and understand the officers' instructions. Why are they not considered humanoids?"
"That's what it looks like? Does it look like a human or an elf? A humanoid, at least it should look like it!"
"What does it have to do with appearance?" Edith hesitated after saying, "Okay, it's not considered humanoid, it's just too ugly."
Although she loves nature and believes that all creatures in nature have their own significance, she does not want to admit that those bugbears are of the same category as herself! Don’t even think about it!
Although she stopped Leonardo's killing behavior in excitement at the time, after thinking about the bugbear's habits, she even began to feel that she had done something wrong. These were chaotic, dirty and evil, and they had already committed a definite crime.
Do biological individuals have any saving value?
Is there any point in my argument with Leonardo here?
"But it must be an intelligent creature!"
"I object in my real name!"
Bolu joins the fray!
"Why?"
"At least we need to communicate rationally instead of instinctively to be able to talk about equality, right? As it is now, bugbears are just the same as smart bears. At most they can be considered smart animals!"
Emotional elves are losing ground in front of humans armed with reason.
Edith has become impatient. She doesn't want to defend them anymore. As long as she doesn't kill them, you can do whatever you want!
"At least you can't catch them and eat them!"
"Who would eat such a thing!"
"You can't kill them! If animals kill people, the responsibility must be placed on their owners. In this case, you can count them as livestock and let them work in exchange for their lives!"
"Okay, then it's settled! Bugbears are smart big animals. They work hard to atone for their sins. As long as they obey and don't commit any more crimes, we won't kill them. That's it!"
Bolu quickly made a decision and ended this boring dispute.
Although bugbears can't do any fine work, they can still do the work of shoveling ore in mines, digging foundations on construction sites, piling soil, and moving bricks. It's just that this management is very problematic, and it's a bit of a headache to gather them together.
, it is easy to cause problems. Just take it apart and use it.
"Speaking of which, the captain captured all bugbears this time. There were no ogres, not even a single human being. I couldn't get any information at all."
"How could the ogres surrender? They are all the stubborn bitches of the giants. As for humans, those who run away are Naziva's bitches, and those who stand still are well-trained bitches. As long as they refuse to put down their weapons and kneel on the ground
, spray them first!"
Leonardo let out a terrible laugh that sounded like a spatula scraping against the bottom of a pot.
"That mallet of yours is pretty easy to use. You spray it once, then use the recoil to lift it back and then smash it down easily. Can it be made stronger?"
"That's not a stick! It's called a three-eyed stick! The point is the three eyes! Do you think it's useful? It was originally an emergency product. If you think it's useful, I'll develop it seriously."
"It's really easy to use. The shotgun can't be used in melee combat, and the war horse is too fast. Sometimes I don't have time to change hands. This combination doesn't affect their respective functions. It's very convenient. It's just easy to break. The one I took out will come back."
They’re all bent!”
"That's because you're trying too hard!"
The popularity of the three-eyed stick is really unexpected.
"Speaking of which, have you found Idric?"
"I found him. I recognized him from his belt. He was assigned to the second line. It's so miserable. I really... don't know what to say. Fortunately, there are many people. Otherwise, they would think I was cheating him."
"Why did the giant jump him?"
"Who can know this?"
Leonardo shrugged.
Although theoretically they are our own people, everyone has no comradeship with the Fifth Regiment. They even dislike each other because of the long-term confrontation. Although they stand together and prepare to fight the enemy, it is just to complete their duties. Now they are unlucky, not to mention
Happy, at least close the door with an indifferent attitude.
The leaders of the current confrontation can be said to have been wiped out. From the lord, to the captain of the knights to the captain of the infantry regiment, and even the captains of the teams above the high level, after being wiped out by the giant, the remaining ones are just
Just ordinary levies and minor nobles.
"How many people are there in the fifth regiment?"
"It's quite miserable. There are about 20 people in the second level and the first level. We can't even choose a squad leader. The rest are all attendants. Now the leader is gone, and his hometown is gone. From this point of view, there is no news.
Probably no one from the fourth regiment ran away. The infantry regiment was quite intact, but the regiment leader died to join in the fun. The remaining military strength of Chintou was completely wiped out.
"
"Isn't it said that the infantry regiment's supplies are all raised locally? Then when their food runs out, who will take care of their food?"
Little Erin sighed.
"Who else could it be? It can only be us who bravely take over this burden. We can't really watch them starve to death, right?"
"Then will they return to Baator?"
"We don't know who is holding Bator now. Maybe there is a group of people there in Nazwa. Do they dare to go?"
"Then have you ever thought about keeping them locally?"
