The battle ended too quickly, and the Violet Rat Village was overthrown in one morning. Basically, preparations were made for the first few hours, and the actual attack only took about ten minutes.
In just ten minutes, a few stink bombs made by the dwarf witch doctor drove out dozens of barbarians hiding behind the solid wall. One by one, they were all fumed and foaming at the mouth.
There is no resistance.
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 a few stink bombs could be so powerful.
.
The lords and armed attendants who acted as the main force watched the whole show and were only used when capturing the prisoners at the end. After they happily captured Schroeder and others, they themselves were a little scared - if this stink bomb fell on their home
At the head of the village...
It certainly can’t be stopped!
The wizard apprentice Tambos quickly gathered the leaders of each village, 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."
Tempos spoke so calmly that no one dared to doubt his knowledge as a wizard apprentice. After all, he came from Cold Wind City and should know more. But when he looked at Zhou Qingfeng, he felt a little wary 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 sweep out these villages in the Black Forest, there is no way he can do better than 'Your Excellency Hugo'. The young boy single-handedly brought together the conflicting teams, and also relied on
Genius imagination wins easily.
How to describe it?
Wisdom?
great?
Or scary?
Schroeder and other people from Violent Rat Village were all caught, stripped naked, hung up, washed with hot water by the servants, and their foul mouths were specially brushed with brushes. These guys kept yelling and scolding, and were heated
The water was so hot that he screamed.
Zhou Qingfeng asked Old Berg to deal with the stink bombs thrown into the Rat Village. He mainly used some plant ash to neutralize them. In addition, he shoveled the contaminated ground and dug holes to bury them.
After capturing a village in half a day, 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, feeling that the person in charge would
There should be some arrogance in the calmness.
"Rubio, you take us to the Rat Village to count the population and supplies. From now on, everything in this village is our spoils of war."
"Wilson, ask your people to put away their trebuchets and horses, and go into the village to repair. Tomorrow you will lead the team alone to fight. I will ask several leaders to go with you to capture all three surrounding villages. Action
Be quick, the enemy may counterattack at any time."
"Luke, you lead people to conduct reconnaissance in the direction of Stucco Village. The Benn Church 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 table or stool. 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 the trivial matters. After a while, he felt that his head was heavy. 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 village to station. Rubio ran to him thiefly, winked and whispered: "Master Hugo, you will never guess what I found in the village?"
"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 villages claim to be short of food, but in fact they must have a lot of stored food. Otherwise, how could they be calm and let the goblins block the external access to the Black Forest without any rush.
In this 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 sold to me are only 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 Rat Village.
"I found a few servants who were fainted in the village and told them that Schroeder was dead. They then took the initiative to tell me where Schroeder's secret cellar was?
I opened the cellar and did a brief inventory, and found that the food inside was enough for our team to last 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 two 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."
People are very poor in the Black Forest, and it is not easy to save hundreds of 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 village belongs to you now, sir. How dare I take your money?"
‘Detect lies’, the test 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 would be a fool to have any more doubts.
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 village. Even the legendary cunning and ferocious 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 have a son whose personality is completely different from mine. I hope you can accept him. Be a servant."
Rubio stepped aside, and there was a young man in his twenties standing behind him. He was as skinny as Rubio, and he was a little timid when he walked forward. His eyes flickered, and he seemed to be in great awe of Zhou Qingfeng.
"Are you afraid of me?" Zhou Qingfeng asked. This young man was at least ten years older than him, but about the same height.
The young man glanced at Zhou Qingfeng and quickly lowered his head and said: "Master, your greatness makes me afraid to look directly at you."
Zhou Qingfeng sneered for a while, wondering whether he was laughing at the other party or himself, "Are you literate?"
"Lite, he is literate." Rubio rushed to answer for his son with a charming smile, "I sent him to school in Cold Wind City for many years."
The young man lowered his head and said in a weak voice: "I studied in a school in Hanfeng City for eight years and 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: "Is there anything good in the Black Forest that would make you come back?"
Rubio rushed to answer again, "Sir, my son just wants to stay with me. He thinks I am too old, and I have always wanted him to inherit the warehouse in Black Marsh Village. But if you are willing to take him in, then
Naturally it’s better.”
Zhou Qingfeng did not agree with this explanation, and he failed to detect lies. He smiled slightly and looked at the young man, "Tell me why you don't stay in Cold Wind City?"
The young man seemed reluctant to speak, and Rubio also looked nervous, but he didn't dare to speak because of Zhou Qingfeng's expression.
After a long while, the young man explained to himself: "Because my grandfather was a sinner and our family was an exile. I went to Hanfeng City to conceal my identity. I studied and applied for a job there, but in the end I was found out and was kicked out.
return."
Speaking of which, the young man never lied.
Zhou Qingfeng finally smiled and asked again: "What's your name?"
"Seth."
"What's your last name?"
"Our family has been denied the right to have a last name."
"This is indeed a bit miserable. Well, being able to write is considered a talent. You can also be a scribe by my side. When you do well, I will allow you to restore your surname."
Uncle Zhou said this casually, but he didn't see that the young man named Seth was shaking when he heard the words, and the light in his eyes was like stars. Even Rubio was astonished as if he had been struck by lightning.
It is a great kindness to restore a sinner's surname.
