Chapter 283 The Song of Triumph (3)
The next morning, Muse left Xijiang Water Village and lived next to the canyon full of corpses. Although the smell was bad and the environment was dirty, it was safe after all. Neither the team of Mara City or the cavalry of the temple would pass by here.
He hired a large number of workers with a few snail shells, and dug out more than 1,000 bodies in a day, and then loaded them into ships to Mara City.
No matter what Damas had the idea, he had to finish his work before he could clear it. Muse was quite clear about this. He could get benefits from secret communication with Xijiang Shuizhai, do good things with less money, and embezzle part of his work by the way. Only by being able to get recognition from the Senate Church can he be qualified to compete for the title of jazz. As for helping Damas conceal the news - since Damas doesn't care about his life, why should he help others conceal it? A jazz from the Knights has no superior or subordinate relationship with him.
Muse is a relatively self-centered person and is an alien among knights. Therefore, even if he desperately tried to please the male favorite of the principal priest, he could not get the nomination of the jazz. This time he came to Xijiang Water Village, so even if there was a threat of fighting, he had no intention of retreating. He also summoned the knight entourage and whispered: "No matter what happens, we must stick to our mission and bring these warriors who died on the battlefield back to the city-state for burial."
No matter whether it is a real knight or a fake knight, there is no resistance under such a righteous language. If anyone says "I'll take a step first", he will definitely be stripped of the qualification to become a knight when he goes back. Even if the knight escorts cannot be made, he can only be a wild cavalry. So whether he is really noble in character or worried about damage to his interests, everyone stayed in the Xijiang River Village or the canyon, and was determined to dig out all the corpses. Even the knights who went to Mala City with the boat remember to rush back after some of the corpses were sent to avoid being regarded as timid escapees.
Of course, this is also related to their lack of fear of war. Modern people run away when they hear the battle, but the knights sprint at the sound of war drums. The time is right, and no matter how vulgar the knights are, they are not afraid of death.
The Muse did not have to dig the corpses by himself, but studied them all day long. He also wanted to know how Chen Yi and others killed heavy infantry in batches. Most of the sailors who returned to the city-state were paddlers who were hanging in the cabin and fled by chance. How could they know what happened on the battlefield? The flag-holder of the fleet was a fat man with a fat heart. He was the first to escape back. He only said that it was the light of fire everywhere, and the image of the Elderly Church seemed to be the arrival of a magician.
This is the territory of the temple. If there were indeed magicians, the heretics would not let them go.
Muse thought too much, but he frightened himself. When he looked at the rotten corpses on the ground, he felt that the latter was more acquainted.
If you look closely, although there are corpses of all shapes, they basically have one thing in common, that is, the holes on their bodies. The bones of some corpses are broken, and the power of those "bullets" can be seen from the form of cracks.
The Muse carefully detected a warhead from a rotten corpse.
The heavy machine gun bullet is one or two, made of brass. It has not deformed after being shot into the human body, but the tip is slightly shorter. The husband around him stared at the Muse with his eyes wide open, and his attack was faster.
"No wonder they no longer need to add money." Muse looked at the laborers around him hatefully. It was not the first time he saw bullets. Yesterday, locals came to sell them in the city. One bullet was the price of a copper coin. It is said that Mara City also used this price to recycle bullets, so bullets could even be circulated directly in the market.
Killing people with copper is a luxury
As the muse shook his head, he was also a little scared. He wanted to kill 3,000 people. Many of them had holes in their bodies, and those who were embedded in their bodies were not taken out. Instead, the workers secretly sneaked the copper bullets in the holes.
"Xijiang Shuizhai is so rich," Muse sighed, climbed back to the top of the canyon, waved to Fraus, and said, "Look at these workers, who dares to destroy the body and hang him?"
The words were extremely cruel and loud, which made many people hear them.
Fraus hadn't noticed the laborers in the canyon before, but after hearing the Muse's words, his face sank.
The corpses of ordinary people are meaningless, and rural villagers don’t care about this. But the corpses of soldiers and the remains of knights are symbols of honor and cannot be defiled. Otherwise, why would they have to spend hundreds of snail shells to transport them back to the corpse?
"Be careful." Fraus didn't care about the dirt in the canyon and took two companions to the deep pit. The canyon, which had dug out more than 1,000 corpses, almost reached the bottom level of the ground.
With knights guarding, the workers had to work in silence, occasionally hiding, and relying on luck.
At night, all the remaining thousand remains were dug out and then loaded them separately. Just as the workers received the reward and were about to leave with great gratitude, Fraus suddenly said: "Search them."
"Why?"
"They can't be allowed to search."
“We are civilians, not slaves”
"You are not from Xijiang City."
After hearing these words, Muse, who was standing on the edge of the canyon, was angry and funny, and turned around and left. He knew what Flaus wanted to do. There were 3,000 corpses, and the bullets left were probably no less than this number. Some of them even had four or five or more in them. Because the heavy infantry phalanx of that day was arranged neatly, the bullets often stopped at the end, and those were all stuck in the corpses. Although some of the workers who were carrying the corpses were taken away, some were now found to be confiscated on the spot, and many of the workers were still secretly hiding.
3,000 copper coins, that is 300 snake shells.
Muse himself couldn't help but want to get a share of the pie, let alone the knights like Fraus. Obtaining their ill-righteous wealth from the civilians who obtained ill-righteous wealth was not considered a violation of the knight's oath, but a punishment for the owner of the ill-righteous wealth.
"They shouldn't be solemn." Muse thought so and walked into his cabin, locking the door as if he was unaware. Only he was the real knight present, and he had to worry about the influence.
The workers' resistance failed to stop the behavior of the knight entourages. With more than thirty warheads found on several workers, more knight entourages participated.
"Resist, all hanged," said Frawuxi, who had a comprehensive stomach, shouted.
Almost all the workers had hidden more or less warheads, and if they were completely hung, they would probably be surrounded. But Vlaus hated these guys who defiled the bodies of the soldiers, so he was unwilling to let them go easily.
Several workers who were twisting and struggling were dragged away. The knight entourage skillfully put hemp ropes around their necks without any hesitation, and the other section was tied to the guard beast. When he clapped his hands, the guard beast ran cleverly.
After walking around, the three tied workers were already dying. They found three crooked trees and hung them. After three minutes, they would be hanged.
The workers' eyes were bleeding and they didn't dare to rush up. The knights all had a full set of armor. Not to mention that they had no swords, it was difficult to cut through even if they had it.
Yun Shiqi, who was temporarily in charge of the canyon, saw it and came over helplessly. The laborer did not belong to Xijiang City. He was unwilling to stop him if he wanted to search his body. In fact, whoever saw those copper bullets was not jealous. They could use them casually in the market. When they were lucky, some people were willing to pay high prices.
However, the murder was a little bit over. Although he was facing the knight, he still shouted without any fear: "Your Excellency, this is the territory of Xijiang City."
Vlaus snorted coldly, signaling his subordinates to continue searching, but he did not say anything hanged.
Nearly a thousand workers are not one, and many of them are nearby villagers who know the truth. They dare to make trouble, but they dare not attack the knights, but the latter dare to hang them unscrupulously. Under this huge power gap, the workers can only quietly hand over the copper bullets in their hands.
Of course, if you are not satisfied, you will openly or secretly return to the canyon. Vlaus also punched and kicked at the beginning, but then he ignored it. Anyway, there were too many people falling down, so he just found someone to pick it up.
After such delays, the next day passed. When the next day was ready, the entire waters near the canyon were filled with corpses.
"Have the armor been sent?" Muse stood on the dock, like a statue, which was his imitation of the Great Jazz. It was the one that the Great Jazz had shown for the people during the temple ceremony. After tens of thousands of years of tempering, just from the posture, it was really amazing. After all, it was not easy to have a rat-faced man like Muse, and it was as difficult as a fat pig to disguise lean meat.
Paituxian was worried and replied: "Only more than 1,000 were sent."
"Didn't ask for money?"
Paitu smiled bitterly and took him to the cabin.
It was covered with broken breastplate, etc. It seemed that they were peeled off the corpse, not to mention the blood stains, there were almost all problems in the key areas.
“All of them are unusable?”
"I searched it and there were more than a dozen of them that could be used. However, there were 38 helmets, all wrapped in iron pieces, which were intact."
More than a dozen blood-stained broken leather armors are worth at least a few hundred copper coins, but they are only dozens of winding snail shells. The price of helmets is comparable, but they are even more intact. Those Shangcuns have their own force, but they are pitifully equipped, so these things must be easy to take advantage of.
Muse hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is there something going on today?"
"I heard..." Paitu lowered his voice: "What martial law is being carried out in Xijiang City? It is military preparation."
The city-state has sent troops
The two of them have the same understanding, but they just don't say anything.
"Take out those useful armors, rush out the boat, and sell them to other places. Let's share the money you get." Muse knew that Chen Yi was given the benefits of sending the message, including the cheap money on the body, which was equivalent to giving it twice. The second time was because the news was confirmed?
Muse thought randomly: This money is so easy to make.
"Do you go?" the captain came to ask.
"Let's go." Muse walked out of the cabin and stood on the deck, looking out at the Xijiang Water Village in front of him.
The prosperity and prosperity here make it look youthful and energetic.
In the distance, the gunshots of "dadada" came, and Muse shook his whole body, knowing that it was an "automatic rifle" and the weapon of the sentry of Xijiang Shuizhai.
The gunshots stopped suddenly.
It immediately rose again, but it was another direction.
"Caval"
Listening tone transformation is the most basic technique. With such a fast speed, it will definitely not be a heavy infantry. However, thinking about it, the veterans did not dare to consume the power of the temple anymore after losing a battalion.
...v!~!
