"I'm sorry, please give us your weapons for safekeeping. You can take them back before you leave!" When they were taken to an inconspicuous tent, two soldiers came up. In addition to staring at the swords of the three people in front of them, they kept checking their bodies, as if they had something shameful.
"Okay! But please don't lose our weapons. If you do, I will have to ask you for several times the compensation, and your division commander might even go bankrupt..." Laughing, Musa grabbed the elder who was about to lose his temper, and was the first to hand over his dagger and sword.
"Thank you all for your cooperation. Please come in!" Seeing the three men throwing out their weapons and putting them away, the officer in charge immediately and respectfully led the three men into the tent.
"Sir, the three guests have been arrived. Do you have any other instructions?" After walking into the tent first, the officer immediately reported to me and then retreated at my wave of hand.
"Everyone, I am honored that you can come to my simple military camp as guests. Please forgive me for my negligence!" After some politeness, I asked them to sit down and then asked them directly: "Since you are here, I think you must have considered the suggestions I made at noon. Do you have anything else to add?"
"We all know what you mean. I think you have already solved the first problem. Your camp is beyond the imagination of us mountain people. Secondly, I think our village can find dozens of villagers to join your army to assist your troops in military operations. Thirdly..."
"Well, there's no need to talk anymore. You don't have any sincerity at all. We don't need to talk anymore. Come on, get out..." I interrupted the village chief with an extremely angry shout. What the hell, I know what he's going to say even if I don't listen. It's nothing more than crying poor. If I don't put some pressure on them now, they still treat me as a soft persimmon and squeeze me as they want. Since you came to me on your own, how can I let you go without paying a price
“Sir, let’s talk it out. We don’t really know what specific help you need. Moreover, we are shocked by the strength you have shown. I thought it would be difficult for us to help you… That’s why we behaved so badly. Please forgive me. But since you have your own bottom line, I would like to ask you to make it clear. I don’t know…” Seeing that I was angry and the guards behind me were ready to leave, the man called the village chief immediately stood up and walked towards me, and immediately tried to explain something
"I can tell you clearly that, first, I need no less than 1,000 laborers, including carpenters, blacksmiths, tailors and other personnel; second, I need at least 200 so-called hunters from your village to join my army to help my soldiers familiarize themselves with the nearby terrain and impart relevant combat experience. Third, I need your village to help me purchase strong bowstrings, high-quality iron ore, arrow feathers, food and other military supplies. Of course, I may not be able to pay for these items at the beginning, but I think it won't be long before I have the ability to pay..."
"How... how is this possible? With so many of you, how much supplies do you need? How can we get that much for you? We can do it ourselves..." Before I finished speaking, the village chief jumped up. If this wasn't my military camp, and there weren't a lot of people standing behind me, I guess this old man would have pointed at my nose and cursed. But before he finished speaking, he was immediately stopped by the young man. It can be seen that he was the guy that Yaruo pointed the arrow at at noon.
"Sir, your request is indeed very difficult for us... You should know that in the current situation, it is harder than climbing to the sky to obtain these supplies... However, I would like to ask, if we help you obtain these supplies, what benefits will we get? For example, how will you protect us so that we will not be harmed by this war? Or will you help us train our hunters so that we can have some self-protection capabilities?"
"Benefits? There are many benefits! First, I will help you train some junior officers, so that your 'hunters' will no longer be in the embarrassing situation of having no junior officers to follow when encountering emergencies. Second, I will help you find a way to divert your hostile forces, so that you have more time to carry out strategic transfers... Of course, the third point is that you can temporarily avoid being discovered by the Mocaster Empire. Your secrets can be preserved... Hehe..." I smiled sinisterly, and I didn't care what they thought. When the two old men suddenly changed their expressions when I said the last sentence, I knew the result. Now, this situation is like a bamboo pole delivered to the door, it would be a waste if I didn't knock it.
"How did you know? What else do you know? Could it be... Could it be that these have been spread out? Damn it, if I knew who spread it out, I would skin him alive... This is Andriel's last hope..." My last words actually made the two old men burst into tears and sob.
Andreel's last hope? What is this? Is this the last base of Andreel's resistance? Could it be that the Andreel resistance that Turkey couldn't find was so easily discovered by me
"Damn it, how did he know? Everything he knew was told to him by you. Let me say you disagreed, and now you've revealed everything yourself. . . .
My Lord, I think you have already guessed it, so let's tell the truth! We are indeed the Andriel resistance army as you said, and we hid here after our defeat. Now we only hope to train the army secretly and keep this force until the arrival of your main force.
Now, we still have about 2 divisions of troops left, as well as all the villagers in this village. Please have mercy on the future of our 30,000 people, sir. . . . . "
"I can't say I'm going to show mercy, but I think my previous attitude has been very clear. If you agree, then it's fine. If you don't agree, we'll go our separate ways... Now I can tell you clearly that behind us, there will definitely be a lot of Dongda Road coalition forces following us. If you want us to help you resist, immediately agree to my conditions, and then pull out those two divisions to be trained by our army and cooperate with us in combat... Finally, I want to ask, who planned all this during the attack we suffered at noon?" Thinking of this big-handed guy, I was very touched. My men don't have the courage to use animal fat to turn the entire mountain road into a pig roasting ground. Following the eyes of the two old men, I immediately knew the answer I needed: "Then, you will follow me in the future, and you don't have to go back..." (To be continued)
