Law of the Devil Chapter 279: [Boat]
Chapter 279 [Boat]
Dozens of short crossbows for military use, such ordinary crossbows are not equipped. Only the elite in the main battle corps of the empire, or the elite in the Imperial Forest Army, are equipped.
This short crossbow is fired with a mechanical noose and can strike the armor of soldiers in twenty steps or more. The so-called "Armored Arrows" cost a lot of money. Only a character like Du Wei can equip all the guards around him with such a lethal weapon. These prairie people are just some black people, let alone armor, it is very rare to be able to wear a leather armor on board, most of them are just wearing leather robes.
Moreover, Du Wei was even more ruthless. He quietly ordered to transform the arrows of his short crossbow, and designed the arrows to form a Mitsubishi shape, so that once he hit the arrow, he would shoot. If you miss the point, the person being shot will also bleed and it will be extremely difficult to stitch afterwards!
Du Wei ’s order to let go of the murder, these tulip guards will not be soft!
After a round of crossbow volleys, the prairie people have fallen by half. Seeing the opponent launching a short crossbow, his companions were hitting the arrows in the end. These grassland talents turned from panic to resistance, and they finally understood that these Rolandans were going to fight hard!
The prairie people yelled loudly. Most of these prairie people were fierce people. They saw helplessness, but waved their machete together towards the guards of the tulip family. At this time, most people were determined. Idea, there is only one way to survive if you fight for a dead net!
Unfortunately, they were so distraught, and about twenty steps away, enough for the tulip's guards to complete the second shot!
The volley of the second crossbow makes less than half of the prairie people still standing. Most people who hit the arrow fell down. Even if there was no death, he groaned in a low voice.
The guards dropped the short crossbow together, and everyone pulled out their swords and rushed at the remaining prairie people!
Although these prairie men are fierce, after all, they are not regular soldiers, but some black people. Where can they defeat the guards under Du Wei? Many of these guards have official Imperial Samurai ranks. Even against ordinary soldiers, one can fight several!
Thirty guards stormed into the prairie crowd. Cut it with a sword, leaving no room for it. These prairie people originally wanted to use their fierceness to fight for life, but soon they were desperate. These tulip family guards were like chopping melon and vegetables, and the flesh flew across the crowd.
Without a cup of tea, there is no more prairie standing on the deck!
None of the thirty guards died, but everyone was bloody. Du Wei still stood on the second deck, squinting, his face soft.
The river officer next to him has never seen such a **** scene in his life. He is, after all, an official in a small town. Where have you seen so many people die under their noses for a while? Besides, the guards of these tulip families are like madmen. They shot fiercely and slashed heavily. Just now he saw two prairie men flying with their arms broken. Some of it flew over the railings on the second deck.
He Yunguan was pale and almost vomited. Du Wei's expression seemed as if she was happy.
Some of these tulip home guards were selected from veterans who had experienced the battle of Gilliat City. Many people stood above the city that day and saw the brutality of the prairie people. Cut off the head of his dead colleague to make an adult head frame. How could these people be soft to the prairie?
Blood is flowing on the deck, broken limbs are everywhere, and there are some prairie people who just hit the arrow for a while and are so painful that they are rolling on the ground. At this moment, they ca n’t help screaming, some people are desperate Opened his throat and called for mercy.
But these guards faithfully executed Du Wei's order! Several guards walked back and forth among the corpses with swords, whether alive or dead. Each has a sword! And then chopped off his head!
Of course the river transport officer was so scared that he couldn't help but whispered: "Duke, Lord Duke ... this, they are all dead, so you don't need to ... don't cut it ..."
Du Wei didn't answer, just smiled, and the old smoke sneered coldly: "Mr. He Yunguan, you don't know. This is a favorite custom of prairie people to build a tower of people! If you want to object, you can go down Ask me these brothers, there are many of them. Their brothers and friends are the towers of the prairie people! "
The river transport officer closed his mouth as soon as he heard it.
At this time, there was a sound of falling water. Du Wei thought that a prairie was dying and ran away, but someone immediately reported it below.
It was the sheriff who was always underneath. When she saw this **** slaughter, she was so frightened that her feet were soft and she fell into the river.
Du Wei smiled disdainfully, and then let the man go down to salvage and rescue the sheriff, patted the shoulder of the river transport officer beside him, and smiled: "Okay, the **** smell here is too pungent , Talk to me in the cabin. "
"No ... no need." He Yunguan took a few deep breaths and solemnly said, "Sir, this happened here ... Well, there are still two or three grassland businessmen in the town. These The prairie people hold the group most, once I learn the news here, I worry that they will make trouble ... "
Dou Wei has the same eyebrows, and smiles lightly: "Oh? Is this so?"
Then Du Wei shouted the old smoke: "You take half of the brothers personally, and then disembark with the Mr. He Yunguan to the town to assist him in handling the matter. If there is a prairie who dares to provocate trouble, you know how to do it . "
"I know." The old smoke's voice coldly let the next river transport officer stunned: "If someone is in trouble, let's kill people!"
"Good, go." Du Wei nodded.
The river transportation official suddenly felt that his legs were heavy, and he couldn't help praying. He only asked that the prairie merchants should be honest and share, otherwise, the local language ... I am afraid that this town will be out of the sky today. Big deal! If the Duke of Tulips had killed several prairie business groups in the town in one breath, then ... the goddess of light bless. Let these prairie savages know each other ...
Du Wei's people are very efficient in doing things. In less than an hour, all the prairie people's heads were chopped down. Du Wei made people stand on the dock and erected several tall trees. Piles, put all the skulls on the sharp wooden stakes, and turned into several adult head frames.
This incident has been rumored throughout the port and town, and everyone who is watching the crowd around has been scared by this **** scene. No one thought that this aristocratic master would be so cruel and ruthless, one hundred and ten living people, just kill it! It's not even killed, but also cut off his head and hung on the dock to demonstrate!
How many people inquire about Dewey's background, there are those who are close, and at a glance when they see the tulip flag on Dewey's ship, they immediately understand, secretly no wonder! I am afraid that only this young duke master dares to engage in this group of grassland savages.
The prayers of the river transport official seemed to work. The other two or three people in the prairie caravan in the town had originally heard the news, and there were still people who were going to pull their swords and desperately. But then he watched Lao Yan bring his heavily armed, murderous guards, and many of the guards were still stained with blood. Deliberately not scrubbed off.
Some dozen bloody, murderous guys lined up. The prairie people were originally soft and scary. I heard that more than 100 people in a business group were killed. The other party was the princess of the prairie, the princess who feared the most. All of them suddenly lost their resistance, and stayed in their camp honestly. Some quietly sent people to the pier to inquire about the news, and the people who came back talked about the pier. One hundred people rolled their heads, and the human head frames were set up. These prairie barbarians are all discolored, their courage is broken, and they dare not make trouble again.
Due to the killing of Dewey, in the town of Mingfan Port, the prairie people who came and went no longer dare to provoke trouble, and this scene has inspired a lot of courage of the Imperial Business League. Occasional disputes with grassland people. Also dare to fight loudly with each other, often speaking last. They all pointed at the pier's straight chest and yelled, "Last 100 heads were cut and hung in that place! Do you want to be one hundred and one!"
As soon as this is said, prairie people dare not play any more.
After such an incident, the security of Mingfan Port is very good. People in the town, river workers on the wharf, and caravans, everyone remembers the Duke of Tulips. Although the Duke felt harsh and cruel, it was cruel. But the more so, the more I felt awe of this fierce duke.
Due to killing so many people, Du Wei is not ready to leave immediately. Let people clean up the corpses, and mention the blood on the river flushing boat, so busy that half a day passed. Moreover, things are done by themselves, and if you leave, the river transport officials here will be unlucky. After all, Du Wei is not the kind of person who does things recklessly. After finishing himself, there is no need to ruin the career prospects of others. After the river transport official wrote the report, Du Wei read it and signed his name below. In this way, the matter was reported, and the officials above knew the signature and knew what to do. No one dares to embarrass this river transport official.
As for the sheriff, Du Wei was too lazy to care about that guy. From today's performance, this guy is a sheriff, although a low-ranking officer, he is considered an official empire with a rank of military attache! However, when facing the prairie people, he was weak and incompetent, and finally the imperialist military attache was so scared that he fell into the river!
As a military attache, Du Wei will not protect him even if the bale is so high! It's better to be removed!
In this way, Du Wei's ship set sail after another day in Mingfan Port.
When leaving the wharf, I had to wait in line on the mooring line, but when other ships saw Du Wei ’s banner, they immediately turned around and let out the river. After entering the canal, other merchant ships were far away. Seeing Dewey's ship, they all gave in actively.
The following sailor reported to Dewey, Dewey knew that it was because of his massacre yesterday, which made these imperial merchants who had suffered the suffering of the prairie people very happy. These merchant ships are grateful to themselves. Meaning of respect.
"Your order yesterday is different from what I know. You have human customs."
Above the deck. In the light wind, Queen Medusa and Dewey stood side by side. She whispered her own question.
"Well, let's talk." Du Wei smiled.
"As far as I know, most of you humans believe in the Goddess of Light. The doctrine of the Goddess of Light is based on forgiveness and kindness. We do n’t advocate violent actions. Well, I also heard that you human beings have a philosopher who said something famous The words 'violence can't solve all problems', aren't they? But you were yesterday. But when you came up, you took the most violent and bloodiest method to solve the problem. I always feel that you and the people I know are right in those books. The description of human nature is very different. "
Du Wei groaned for a while, then smiled and said, "Well, dear Miss Nicole, let's continue to class today."
I looked around, and suddenly I saw a short distance away, and a small boat was moored to the shore. That ship is different from other merchant ships and merchant ships above the river. Looking away. The sails were all bright in color, and there was a faint and grinning sound from the ship. In addition, the ship was very full, and it was not a sailor on the deck. But a few beautifully dressed women, outside the cabin, there is a faint aroma and wine fluttering.
"There is a boat in that place." Du Wei stretched his fingers away. Then smiled: "Although you don't need to look with your eyes, but I know what it looks like with your mental strength?"
"Yes," Medusa answered.
"So, I tell you, that boat is not a serious place. To be precise, it is a brothel on the river. These merchant ships, sailors on the boat. Walking on the water all year round, the life on the boat is most It's boring, these adult men have nowhere to vent, and over time, they always need to have fun. And this kind of boat is the most popular on the water. "
Speaking, Du Wei inadvertently looked at the deck of his ship, and sure enough. A few sailors could not help but glanced towards the place. A look of yearning appeared on his face.
"The brothel?" Medusa frowned slightly. "Where is the brothel? The books I know are not mentioned."
Duhaha smiled: "The books you know. They were read by my fiancee. Hey ... That little Nizi is so shy that she ca n’t read this kind of thing to you? Say it again , Most of our human books will only say some plausible things, such things are rarely recorded in book literature. "
"You don't have to laugh at me, what is this place?"
"A brothel is a place where men find women." Du Wei said frankly: "Men always vent their desires, and these women make money from their own bodies. It's also an exchange."
"What do you mean ... mating?" The word in Medusa's mouth made Du Wei speechless. However, he smiled bitterly and replied, "Well ... yes, mating."
Medussa's calm and indifferent face could not help but give birth to a faint blush. This blush was extremely rare on Medusa's face, which had always looked like a well. Although her previous appearance is beautiful, it always feels a bit less human. The "beautiful look" doesn't make people look out of breath.
Now, there is a blush on the cheeks, and the beauty is immediately increased, but the dazzling edge is much softer.
She was originally a fascinating beauty, a kind of scourge against the country and the people of Madam Lister. At this moment, such a shy look immediately made Du Wei, who was close at hand, look a little stunned.
Dyed cheeks, Medusa's brows frowned, her expression a little disgusted, and then she whispered: "But ... I heard that in your human books, one of the biggest differences between you and the wild That is your sublime for mating. The mating of the beasts is blind and simple estrus. But you humans ... often have physical contact because of love. Is n’t this the case? Can mate ... So what about love? I remember writing in your human books that money cannot buy love. "
After hearing this, Du Wei seemed to have heard the happiest joke in the world, and couldn't help letting out his throat and laugh loudly.
Oh my god, the simplicity of this queen of Medusa is really comparable to the little stutter of our family!
"Okay, my dear Miss Nicole. I have to say, you've been fooled again by the book." Dewey saw that Medusa was a little upset by herself, and quickly said: "I remember I was early As I said, human beings are complicated. Then I tell you that human beings are the most eloquent race in the world! Human beings often set a very high moral standard, and then write these things into books to advertise themselves ... but in the world, most people can't do that kind of seemingly high moral standards! The so-called one set. To do one set, that's what it means. "
"You mean ... lie?"
"Yes, it is a lie." Du Wei answered unabashedly: "Dear Miss Nicole, I know you must not like to lie. But I must also tell you clearly. Human beings are born to be good at lying. And most people will lie. Lying is also one of the skills that must be possessed to survive in the human world! If you want to integrate into this world and become a real human being, then whether you want to or not Sooner or later, you must learn to lie! Otherwise, the words ... "Du Wei said here with a slight smile:" Even if you are strong, one day, sooner or later, you will die very hard. In this world. Will not lie It ’s hard for people to survive. "
Although these words are a little bit extreme, I have to say that it is indeed a famous saying. Human world. That's always the case.
But Du Wei missed a very important thing at the moment!
Queen Medusa was originally a very simple piece of white paper! !! For her understanding of human nature, there is still a big blank. It's like a newborn baby! What you teach her, she learns!
And Du Wei, a somewhat evil-minded guy, has instilled these dark "truths" into a "white paper" ... which is equivalent to shaping the "personality" of Queen Medusa step by step. !!
Dewey is smart, but he is not a qualified educator. He blindly told this "white paper" about the evil and ugly dark things among human beings. In the future, the humanity of the Queen Medusa will be shaped by him. It's really fun!
At this moment, Du Wei doesn't think so much, just smiles gently, and finally makes a summary.
He pointed to the prostitute boat in the distance and laughed, "Look at this prostitute boat, and think about how many people I killed at the dock yesterday."
Suddenly, Du Wei took a deep breath and said lightly: "Money can't buy love, but woman !!!! Violence can't solve all problems. But it is often the most effective and direct solution."
Queen Medusa is meditating. The expression on her face was really unpredictable. What is Her Majesty thinking at this moment.
Two days on the river, this day the boat stopped at a small port on the way to replenish food and fresh water. The ship had just landed, and to Davy's surprise, local officials had long been waiting above the port.
The news that Du Wei was making a mess in Mingfan Port has already been spread out, and there have been fast messages spreading on the land. It was just that the ship was walking slowly on the river, and the Duvey did not arrive, but the news had already arrived.
The Duke of Tulip ’s boat is moored here, and local officials in the local port and town dare not neglect. Du Wei was too lazy to pay attention to the flattery of these magistrates, and wanted to stay behind the boat, just fine.
But the following person came to report that the local officials in the town had important matters to ask to see themselves. Du Wei reluctantly agreed to let the mayor come in.
The mayor met Du Wei and said something respectfully after giving respectfully.
It's not too difficult, but when he said it, he was very careful, for fear of annoying the duke.
"What are you talking about? Anyone want to take my boat to the Imperial Capital?" Du Wei smiled.
"Yes, it is Lord Maximus and his entourage, the chief archbishop of the northern and central diocese of the Temple of Light." The mayor smiled bitterly: "Master, this is the thing, Archbishop Maximus and his entourage, From the north-north parish to the imperial capital to attend the year-end ceremony. Unfortunately, you also know that in this **** season, the ship on the river is too difficult to find. Originally, Archbishop Maximus had his own boat, but unfortunately it was on that one The **** ship suddenly broke down, and the archbishop's party was stopped on the journey. Now they have abandoned the ship and landed, and are coming up to our town along the way. The order given to me above is, let me, no matter what, Within a day, a boat was drawn from the pier to allow the archbishop to rush to the capital. It is absolutely not allowed to delay the journey of the archbishop. Dear Lord, this order was issued directly from the governor's house of the province. .You know. Our Governor is a devout believer. "
"So you chose my boat?" Du Wei smiled.
The mayor sweated coldly, and his face was crying without tears, and he was almost on his knees: "My lord ... I'm desperate. I don't know which **** **** told this to the dock in advance Those guys who were on board turned out to be a few merchant ships moored at the dock. After hearing the news, they were afraid of being caught, and immediately anchored and ran away! The remaining boat was too small, and the bishop brought a lot of followers and salute. I'm afraid the boat can't fit ... the only big boat here right now is you ... "
Speaking of this, the mayor muttered with a grudge: "Those unscrupulous businessmen, who refuse to let the Archbishop take a boat and run away, these guys who do not respect the gods. Next time they come here again, I will give them Nod to eat bitterly. "
Du Wei immediately understood in his heart that those running away merchants naturally refused to carry any bishops or adults!
The cargo on board is full. There must be a lot of bishops and adults! If you want to take a boat. It must be to carry the goods out to make room for the bishop and his party. In this way, of course, the businessmen themselves will suffer losses. Merchants are the most profitable. Who is indifferent to the interests? Besides, the people in these temples will never pay any compensation. For them, dedication to the gods is a matter of course.
Dewey is not mean. Although he did not like the temple. But unwilling to offend the temple.
The archbishop of a parish is a very powerful man in the temple of light on the mainland of Roland! The Temple of Light divides the mainland of Roland into eight parishes, each of which has an archbishop, and four associate bishops below, responsible for all the affairs of a parish, including tax collection and appeasement. In charge of the shrine real estate. And preaching doctrines.
Speaking of it, it is almost equivalent to being a "Governor" under the temple!
Also. Judging from the site under the control of a parish archbishop, it is much larger than the governor of the empire. After all, a governor is just in charge of a province. According to the division of the temple, more than forty provinces of the empire were divided into eight parishes, which is equivalent to one parish covering three or five provinces.
The important thing is that these archbishops, as one of the temple's administrative directors, not only mastered the collection of taxes and the properties of the temple ... but also their military power!
The Holy Knights of the Temple are stationed in each parish, and each parish has about several thousand knights.
Has its own finances and its own military power. What is the difference between this "archbishop" and the governor of the empire? Moreover, more power, more detached status, there is something wrong!
The most important thing is that according to the tradition of the Temple of Light, the archbishops of each parish are the real core figures in the temple. After the death of each pope, to establish a new pope, one of the patriarchs of the eight dioceses of the empire was chosen to succeed him.
When selecting, the public criterion is to list the achievements of each archbishop in the local parish, including tax revenue, the cultivation of believers, the number of new believers, and so on.
In other words, this archbishop required to take his own boat back to the capital. Regardless of his achievements in the end, or his status in the temple. At least nominally, he is also one of the future Pope successors!
This name alone is enough to be awesome.
For these people, although Du Wei is unwilling to deal with more, he does not want to offend. So, after thinking about it, he agreed to the mayor: "Well, there are still many empty seats on my boat. When will this bishop arrive?"
"It should be tomorrow morning." The mayor breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly answered, "After the Archbishop Maximo's boat broke down, they have abandoned the boat and landed in a carriage. They will definitely be tomorrow morning Get here. "
"Then, I'll stay here for a day and wait for the Archbishop to come."
Du Wei sighed after sending the mayor away.
After all, the mayor asks himself, if he refuses, then this matter must pass to the ear of the archbishop. No offense is committed.
Furthermore, although I jealous of the temple, now at least Hussein's number one wanted criminal is not with him, and he has no reason to be afraid.
Just ... Du Wei touched his head.
He is used to having long hair, long thick hair, covering the little devil's horn on his head, and Du Wei also designed a hairstyle for himself, so that the hair on the head It is a layer thicker.
Also, tomorrow, I will wear a magician robe and a magician hat tomorrow! Huh, a archbishop can't run to pull off my hat and check my hair.
