The battle ended too quickly, and the orc stronghold was overrun in half a day. We basically spent the first few hours preparing, and it only took about ten minutes to actually launch the attack.
In just ten minutes, a few stink bombs made by the dwarf witch doctor drove out all the barbarians hiding behind the solid wall. Every one of them was so smoked that they were foaming at the mouth and had no resistance.
power.
The originally monotonous battlefield suddenly became lively, followed immediately by victory. This sudden change was unforeseen by everyone present. Even Wilson, who was controlling the trebuchet, did not expect that the stink bomb was so powerful.
The masters and armed attendants who acted as the main force watched the whole show and were only used when capturing prisoners at the end. After they happily captured Schroeder and others, they themselves were a little scared - if this stink bomb fell on their settlement
nod......
It certainly can’t be stopped!
Wizard apprentice Jason was quickly surrounded by leaders of various families, asking insinuatingly how to resist this trebuchet tactic?
"In regular combat, the defenders should have wizards to assist. In this case, a violent wind spell can solve it. There is only one reason why you find it difficult to deal with it - you are too weak."
Jason spoke so calmly that no one dared to doubt his knowledge as a wizard apprentice. After all, he came from Cold Wind City, so he should know more. But when he looked at Zhou Qingfeng, he felt a little apprehensive in his heart.
Among the wizard's arcane spells is the 'Stinky Cloud Technique', but this technique has always been used in small-scale battles. This is the first time I have heard of similar stink bombs being directly used to attack strong fortresses.
Even if the city lord of Cold Wind City sends people to clear out these settlements in the Black Forest, there is no way he can do better than 'Your Excellency Hugo'. The young man brought together the conflicting teams by himself, and relied on his genius
Such imagination can easily win.
How to describe it?
Wisdom?
great?
Or scary?
Schroeder and other people in the orc stronghold were all captured, stripped naked, hung up, washed with hot water by the servants, and their foul mouths were specially brushed with a brush. These guys kept yelling and scolding, and were subjected to hot water.
It was so hot that he screamed.
Zhou Qingfeng asked Old Borg to deal with the stink bombs thrown into the orc stronghold. He mainly used some plant ash to neutralize them. In addition, he shoveled the contaminated ground and dug holes to bury them.
After easily capturing a settlement, the morale of the 'Allied Forces' team increased again. Leaders of various families came to congratulate Zhou Qingfeng and express their loyalty.
Zhou Qingfeng responded with a few polite words, continued arranging tasks, and dismissed the visitor. But with such a victory as the foundation, all the tribesmen gathered around him were greatly stimulated, and they felt that the person who took the throne would be the winner.
There should be some arrogance in the calmness.
"Rubio, you take us to the orc stronghold to count the population and supplies. From now on, everything in this settlement will be our spoils of war."
"Wilson, ask your people to put away their trebuchets and horses, and go into the stronghold to repair."
"Luke, you lead people to conduct reconnaissance in the direction of the mortar pit. The Magru tribe should have received news of our attack by now. I guess they will probably send troops to help tomorrow."
The place where Zhou Qingfeng issued the order was in an open space, next to the two trebuchets that had just shown their power. There was no staff, no assistants, not even a desk or stool, so he just stood and issued orders to all kinds of people coming and going.
People came and went, and Zhou Qingfeng needed to be responsible for all trivial matters. After a while, he felt that his head was big. There were too many fools under his command, and their understanding of orders was all kinds of strange. The commander's job was really difficult.
In the afternoon, Zhou Qingfeng was going to lead his team to the settlement. Rubio ran to him thiefly, winked and whispered: "Master Hugo, you will never guess what I found in the orc territory?"
"A lot of food?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
Rubio was stunned, "Sir, how do you know?"
Zhou Qingfeng curled his lips slightly, "I also know that the leaders of each department claim that they are short of food, but in fact they must have a lot of food stored in them. Otherwise, how could they have calmed down and allowed the goblins to block the external access to the Black Forest without being in a hurry.
In the current situation, apart from food, I can't think of anything else that deserves your special thanks. I even think that you have hidden a lot of family property, and the goods you gave me are just part of it."
Rubio was about to scream when he heard this, but when Zhou Qingfeng gave him a cold glare, he could only laugh, scratch his head and continue talking about the orc stronghold.
"I found several servants who were fainted in the stronghold and told them that Schroeder was dead. They then took the initiative to tell me where Schroeder's secret vault was?
I opened the cellar and did a brief inventory, and found that the food inside was enough to feed our team for half a month. In addition, there were medicinal materials and gold and silver coins in the cellar."
As he spoke, Rubio held up a small wooden box and handed it to Zhou Qingfeng, "Master, I roughly counted it. There are more than one hundred gold coins and more than three thousand silver coins. This is a lot of money. It should be Shi The accumulation of the Rhodes family over the past few decades."
The Black Forest is very poor, and it is not easy to save a hundred gold coins. Zhou Qingfeng grabbed the small wooden box, and his hand sank down. It was quite heavy. He glanced at Rubio and asked: "How much did you take? "
"No." Rubio straightened his back and waved his hands, "This settlement belongs to you now, sir. How dare I take your money?"
The test of ‘lie detector corsage’ is passed.
Rubio, a black-hearted profiteer, actually told the truth.
Zhou Qingfeng was even more suspicious and asked again: "Rubio, you don't want money, but I'm very surprised. So what do you want?"
Rubio suddenly felt awkward, and the skinny old man rubbed his hands uneasily. After a long time, he whispered: "Mr. Hugo, I now believe that you are really an extremely special noble. After this battle, who dares to You'd be a fool to doubt it.
I have never seen anyone be so tolerant to others, never seen anyone be able to command more than 400 people so well, never seen anyone be able to easily conquer a settlement. Even the legendary cunning and cruel food Human and demon wizards don't have this ability either.
But what about you... You only relied on a group of untouchables, a group of untouchables who were never cared about or even abandoned. It's amazing, it's really amazing. You did it for me Things that I don’t even dare to think about.
I want to follow you, really follow you. But I know that a pariah with many stains like me is not qualified to follow a noble person like you. But I also have illusions, maybe you don't care about my lowliness."
Rubio's words made Zhou Qingfeng feel very strange, and he asked: "You should be literate, right?"
"Of course I am literate." Rubio lowered his head and replied: "I studied in a school in Cold Wind City for many years. I also found a job as a scribe. I have no problem reading, writing, and calculating."
"Then why don't you stay in Cold Wind City?" Zhou Qingfeng asked again: "What good thing is there in the Black Forest that makes you stay in the Voodoo Swamp and become a profiteer?"
Rubio let out a long sigh and explained: "Because my grandfather was a sinner and our family was an exile. I concealed my identity and went to Cold Wind City. I studied there and applied for a job, but in the end I was found out and was arrested.
Came back."
Speaking of which, the black-hearted profiteer actually never lied.
Zhou Qingfeng finally smiled and said again: "This is indeed a bit miserable. Well, if you can write, you are a talent. You can be a housekeeper by my side. If you do well one day, I will pardon your family's sins."
Uncle Zhou said this casually, but Rubio was trembling all over, his eyes were shining like stars, and his expression was astonished as if he had been struck by lightning.
It is a great kindness to restore the reputation of a sinner.
