Chapter 279 [Boating]

Dozens of military short crossbows, such short crossbows are not equipped by ordinary armies, and only the elites of the Empire's major battle regiments, or the elites of the Imperial Forest Army, are equipped.

This type of short crossbow is launched with a mechanical winch and can shoot through the armor of a soldier like 20 steps. Called the "Broken Armor Arrow”, every handful is not worth the price, and only a person like Dewey can equip all the guards around him with such a lethal weapon. These grasslands are just a bunch of people, let alone armor. It's rare to have a leather coat on board, mostly in a leather robe jacket.

Moreover, Dewey was even harsher in his mind. He quietly ordered that the arrows of this short crossbow equipped by his men be modified and designed into a Mitsubishi shape. Thus, if the arrow is hit, even if it does not hit the target, the person being shot will bleed more, and it will be extremely difficult to stitch up afterwards!

These Tulip Guards will not be soft on Dewey's orders to let go of the murder!

After a round of short crossbows, the prairie had fallen by half. Watching each other fire a short crossbow, and their companions shooting arrows all around them, these savages turned from fear to disobedience, and they finally understood: these Rolanders are about to hit hard!

The prairie people howled loudly. Most of these prairie people were fierce people who looked helpless. Instead, they swung their machetes together towards the guards of the tulip family. At this time, most people made up their minds. Only a fish-dead net can break and there is a way to live!

Unfortunately, their stunned martial arts, about twenty steps away, were enough for the Tulip Guard to complete the second round of shooting!

The firing of the second short crossbow left less than half of the standing prairie people. Most of the arrows fell, and even if some were not dead, they were poured into a low-pitched bloody moan.

The guards threw the crossbows together, and everyone pulled out their swords and threw them at the rest of the prairie men!

These savages are vicious, but they are not regular armies, they are a bunch of mobs. How can they outnumber the guards of Dewey? Many of these guards have official Imperial samurai ranks, even if they are against ordinary soldiers, one can fight several!

Thirty guards rushed into the herdsmen's crowd, wielding their swords and chopping them, leaving no room at all. These prairie people wanted to make a living with their ferocity, but soon they were desperate. These Tulip guards are like chopping melons, and the crowd is flesh and blood.

Less than a cup of tea, there is no more standing prairie man on the deck!

None of the 30 guards died, except everyone was bloody. Dewey was still standing on the second deck with her eyes squeezed and her face tender.

The next river candleman has never seen such a bloody scene in his life. After all, he's just an official in a small town. Where have you seen so many people die in front of you for a moment? Besides, these Tulips guards, like lunatics, shot hard, chopped up, and just now he saw two prairie broken arms flying in, and some of the flesh was splashed over the railings on the second deck.

The river canal officer looked pale and vomited a little. Dewey's face was like a delightful expression.

Some of these tulip guards were selected from veterans who had gone through the Guilliard War. On that day, many people stood on top of the city and saw the brutality of the prairies, chopping off their dead colleagues and turning them into adult skulls. How could these people be soft on the prairie?

Blood on the deck became rivers, broken arms were all over the limbs, and there were some prairie people who had just been shot by an arrow and had not died. The pain of rolling on the ground could not be screamed at this moment. Some people had desperately ripped off their voices and begged for forgiveness.

But these guards faithfully executed Dewey's orders! Several guards walked around with swords all over the body, alive or dead, each replenishing a sword! Then chop off your head!

Although the river candleman was scared to death, he couldn't help but whisper: “Duke, Duchess... this, they are all dead, you don't have to chop this head off...”

Dewey didn't answer, just laughed, and the old cigarette cold-blooded: “Mr. River Canal, you don't know, it's the prairie's favorite custom to build a head tower! If you want to object, you can go down and ask me about these brothers, a lot of them, and their brothers and friends are headtowers made by the prairies! ”

The river canister closed his mouth as soon as he heard it.

At this point, there was a pounding sound, and Dewey thought it was some prairie man who was dying to jump off the river and flee, and someone reported it immediately below.

The magistrate, who had been down there, saw such a bloody massacre, frightened to death, his feet softened and fell into the river.

Dewey laughed with disdain, and as he sent someone down to salvage the sheriff, he patted the shoulders of the river officials around him, laughing: "Well, the smell of blood here is a little too harsh, you and I can talk in the cabin. ”

“No… no.” The Canal Officer took a few deep breaths and then solemnly said: "Sir, this is happening here… well, there are two or three prairie clubs in town right now. These prairie people are the most clustered people, and once I get the news here, I fear they will make a scene...”

Dewey's eyebrows were like, "Oh? Is that so?”

Then Dewey Gao shouted at the old cigarette: “Take half the brothers yourself, follow this river canister to the town to help him with things, and if any prairie man dares provoke trouble, you know what to do. ”

“Yes.” The old smoke sounds coldly shivering the river candle officer next to him: “If anyone makes a scene, we just let go and kill! ”

“Good, go.” Dewey nodded.

The river official immediately felt that his legs weighed a thousand pounds and he couldn't help but pray. It would be better for those grassland merchants to split honestly or else... something big will happen in this town today! If these Duke of Tulips' men kill out a few prairie troupes in the town, then... the Goddess of Light bless these savages on the prairie to get to know each other better...

•

Dewey's men were very efficient in doing things. Less than an hour later, all the heads of the prairie people were cut off. Dewey made people erect a few tall wooden piles on the pier and put all their heads on sharp wooden piles, turning them into adult heads.

The whole harbour and town has been bombarded for a long time. All the people around have been frightened by this bloody scene. Nobody thought that the nobleman was so cruel and spicy, a hundred and ten living people, kill him if you say so! Killing doesn't count, and cutting off your head and demonstrating on the docks!

How many people asked about Dewey's background, close to him, saw the tulip flag on Dewey's boat, instantly understood, no wonder! I'm afraid only this young Duke dared to do this to these savages in the meadows.

And the prayer of the river official seemed to work, and the other two or three grassland merchants in town, who had heard the news, had to pull a knife when their brains were hot. But then he watched the old cigarette come with a heavily armed, murderous guard, many of the guards still had blood on their armor, deliberately not washed off.

So many dozens of bloody, murderous guys lined up, the prairie people were originally soft and afraid of hardship, heard that more than a hundred people of a business group had been killed clean, the other side was still the most feared tulip duke of the prairie people, suddenly no one thought of rebellion, honestly stayed in their camp, dared not make a scene. Some people quietly sent people to the pier to find out the news. The people who came back talked about the pier, a hundred and ten people rolled over, built a head stand. Speaking of that scene, these savages on the prairie, everyone changed color, the dare broke, absolutely dare not make trouble again.

After the killing of Dewey, in Mingfan Harbor town, the prairie people to and from no longer dare to seek provocation, and this scene has inspired the courage of many imperial chambers of commerce, occasionally quarreling with the prairie people, and they dare to fight each other loudly, often saying that at the end of the day, pointing to the pier's straight chest loudly: “Last time, a hundred heads were cut off and hung there! Do you want to be a hundred and one? ”

Often, when they say that, the prairie dare not play helpless again.

After such a thing, Mingfan Harbor was well policed, the town people and river workers on the pier and the merchants, everyone felt the Duke of Tulips. Though the Duke felt harsh and harsh, he was terribly brutal. But the more so, the more fearful I feel of this vicious Duke.

•

With so many people killed, Dewey couldn't have left right away. The body was cleaned up, the river washed up the blood on the boat, so busy, half a day passed. Besides, you did it yourself, and if you walk away, the river officials here are in bad luck. After all, Dewey is not the kind of person who does things with no consequences. After all, he is done with himself and doesn't have to ruin the future of others. After the river transport officer wrote the report, Dewey looked at it and signed his name. So, the story goes up, and the officials on it, they see their signatures and they know what to do. No one dares to embarrass this river official.

As for the sheriff, Dewey was too lazy to care about that guy. From today's performance, this guy, as a magistrate, although low-level, is also an empire official, with a ranked martial officer! But in the face of the prairie, weakness and incompetence, eventually the imperial warlord of the Hall fell into the river!

As a martial arts officer, Dewey wouldn't have bailed him out! It's better to be evacuated!

Thus, after another day in Mingfan Harbor, Dewey's boat set sail.

When we left the pier, we were supposed to wait for the queue to go out on the berth, but as soon as the other boats saw Dewey's flag, they turned around and let the river out. After entering the canal, the other merchant boats saw Dewey's boat far away and gave in voluntarily.

The sailors below told Dewey that Dewey only knew that it was because of the massacre he had committed yesterday that these imperial merchants, who had eaten enough of the grasslands, were very happy, and that these merchant ships meant to thank and honor themselves.

“Yesterday's order, as I know it, is different from your human customs. ”

On deck, facing a light breeze, Queen Medusa and Dewey stood side by side. She whispered her own questions.

“Well, go ahead.” Dewey smiled.

“As far as I know, most of you humans believe in the Goddess of Light, whose doctrine is based on mercy. No violent action is advocated. Well, I also heard that you humans have philosophers who say a famous saying, 'violence doesn't solve all problems,' right? Yesterday, as soon as you came up, you took the most violent and bloody approach to solving the problem. I always felt like you were a very different person from what I know about human nature. ”

Dewey shrugged for a moment and smiled, “Well, my dear Miss Nicole, let's get back to class today. ”

After looking at it, suddenly not far away, a small boat docked on the shore. That ship is not the same as the other merchant ships on the river. Far away, the sails were bright in colour, hidden from the ship was the sound of stealth and giggles, and furthermore, the boat was so full that it was not a sailor standing on the deck, but a few women dressed in brilliance, hidden from the cabin, with intense aromas and alcohol.

“There's a boat in that place.” Dewey pointed to the distance and laughed, “You don't have to look, but I know what it's like to be able to sense it with your mental strength, right? ”

“Yes.” Medusa replied.

“Well, I tell you, that ship, it's not a serious place. A brothel on the river, to be exact. These merchant ships, the sailors on the boat, walking on the water all the time, the life on the boat is the most boring, these adult men have nowhere to go, the time is long and they always need to have some fun. And this kind of boat, on the water, is the most popular. ”

As he said, Dewey accidentally looked at the deck of his boat. Indeed, a few sailors couldn't help but look at the place and reveal their desired look on their faces.

“A brothel?” Medusa frowned slightly: “Where is the brothel? I didn't mention it in those books I knew. ”

Dwihaha smiled: "You know, all the books my fiancée read to you. Hey hey... that little girl can't be shy herself, how can she read this stuff to you? Besides, most of our human books only talk about moral things, which are rarely recorded in the literature. ”

“You don't have to laugh at me. Where the hell is this place? ”

“A brothel is where men find women.” Dewey's face is blunt: “Men always vent their desires, and these women earn money from their bodies. It's kind of an exchange. ”

“You mean... mating?” The word in Medusa's mouth left Dewey speechless. But he smiled a little bit and replied, "Well... yes, it is mating. ”

Medusa had a calm and calm face, resulting in a faint red spot. This slight blush, on Medusa's face, which has always looked like an ancient face, is already extremely difficult. She was beautiful before, but it always made people feel a little less people-friendly. It made people feel like they couldn't breathe when they looked at her.

And now, with a tiny bit of red spot on his cheeks, his aesthetics immediately increased, and that kind of deterrent flash softened a lot.

She was originally one of the greatest colors of all, a scourge that befell the ranks of the people in Mrs. Lister's troubled country. With such a shy appearance at the moment, Dewey, close at hand, was left to stare.

As her cheeks fainted, Medusa frowned and her expression slightly disgusted, she lowered her voice: "But… I heard that one of the biggest differences between you and the beast, your self-righteousness in human books, is your loftiness in mating with such things. Beast mating is blind and simple affection. But you humans... often have physical contact because of love, isn't that so? But it costs money to mate... what about love? I remember in your human book that money can't buy love. ”

Dewey couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if she had heard the most laughable joke in the world.

Jesus Christ, Queen Medusa's purity is so much like our little stutter!

“Well, my esteemed Miss Nicole, I have to say, once again, you've been deceived by the book.” Dewey looked at Medusa a little upset with herself and quickly said, “I remember I told you, man is complicated. So let me tell you, man is the most talkative race in the world! Humans tend to set a very high moral standard and write these things in books to label themselves… but most people in the world can't do what seems like a high moral standard! That's what it means to say and do. ”

“You mean... lying? ”

“Yes, it's a lie.” Dewey answered with no disguise: "Dear Miss Nicole, I know you don't like to lie. But I also want to tell you clearly. Humans are naturally a lying race. And most people lie. Lying is one of the skills that must exist in the human world! If you want to integrate into the world and become a true human being, whether you like it or not, sooner or later you have to learn to lie! Otherwise...” Dewey said here with a faint smile: “Even if you are stronger, you will die one day sooner or later, it will be ugly. In this world, people who don't lie are hard to survive. ”

Although it is somewhat radical, it has to be said that it is indeed a sensible quote. The human world, that's what it is.

But Dewey neglected a very important thing at this moment!

Queen Medusa is simply a blank piece of paper!! There was also a huge gap in her understanding of humanity. Like a newborn baby! Whatever you teach her, she learns!

And Dewey, the kind of evil guy who instilled these dark “truths” into a piece of “blank paper" … is like shaping Queen Medusa's “personality” step by step!

Though intelligent, Dewey is not a qualified educator. He flavored this “blank paper” about the evil and ugly dark things in mankind. In the future, the human nature of Queen Medusa will be shaped by him, and it's really quite amusing!

Dewey naturally wouldn't have thought of so much at this moment, just smiled lightly and concluded with a summary.

He pointed to the hooker boat in the distance and laughed: "Look at this hooker boat. Think about how many people I killed at the pier yesterday. ”

After a pause, Dewey took a deep breath and faintly said: "Money cannot buy love, but can buy women!! Violence does not solve all problems, but is often the most effective and direct solution. ”

The expression on Queen Medusa's face is truly inconceivable, what Her Majesty is thinking at this moment.

•

Two days on the river, the day the boat stopped in a small port on the way to supplement food and fresh water. And the boat had just landed, which surprised Dewey that local officials had been waiting for it long before the harbor.

Originally, the news of Dewey's havoc in Mingfan Harbor had already spread out, and there were fast horses on the land that had spread the message layer. But the boat was walking slowly on the river, and the Dewey had not arrived, but the news had already arrived.

The Duke of Tulip's boat docked here and local officials in the local port town dared not be lazy. Dewey was lazy enough to ignore the praise of these magistrates to keep the door closed and stay on the boat.

But the next person came to report that the local officials in the town had important requests to see themselves. Dewey barely agreed to let the mayor in.

The mayor met with Dewey, respectfully saluted, and said one thing.

This is not too difficult, but when he said it, he was very careful and afraid to annoy the Duke.

“What did you say? Someone wants to take my boat to the Empire?” Dewey laughed.

“Yes, Lord Maximus, Chief Archbishop of the northern diocese of the Temple of Light, and his entourage.” The mayor grinned, “My lord, here's the thing: Archbishop Maximus and his entourage rushed from the North-Central Diocese to the Emperor for the year-end celebration. Unfortunately, as you know, the boats on the river are too hard to find this damn season. Originally Archbishop Maximus had his own boat, unfortunately by the way of that damn boat, suddenly it broke down, and the archbishop's people were stuck on the road, and now they have abandoned the boat and are coming to our town along the way. The order given to me was that, in any event, I should not be allowed to delay the Bishop's journey by pulling a boat out of the dock within a day so that the Archbishop could catch a boat to the Emperor. Distinguished Duke, this order came directly from the Governor's Palace in the province. As you know, our Governor is a devout believer. ”

“So you picked my boat?” Dewey didn't seem to smile.

The mayor was sweating cold, and he looked like he was crying, almost kneeling down: "My lord... I have lost my way. I don't know which motherfucker told the guys on the dock this order ahead of time, but the merchant ships that were parked at the dock, after hearing the news, were scared to get caught and ran away! The rest of the boat is too small, the Bishop has brought a lot of attendance and courtesy, I'm afraid the boat can't be loaded... now the only big boat here is you..."

Speaking of which, the mayor grunted with hatred: "Those black-hearted businessmen who refused to let the Archbishop run off on a boat, these godless men, the next time they come here, I will surely give them a nod to eat. ”

As soon as Dewey heard about it, he understood that the businessmen who had fled naturally refused to carry any Lord Bishop!

The cargo on board is full. The Bishop must have a lot of people! If you are going to take a boat, you will certainly have to take the cargo out of your cabin and give it to the bishop, so that the merchants themselves will of course suffer losses. Merchants are the most profitable. Who else is godless in front of the interests? Besides, the people of these temples will never pay any compensation. For them, devotion to the gods is a matter of course.

Dewey is not a cheap man either. Although he had no interest in the temple, he was also reluctant to offend the temple.

The Archbishop of a parish, in the Temple of Light of the Continent of Roland, is already a very powerful man! The Temple of Light divides the continent into eight parishes, each with an archbishop, followed by four vice-bishops, who are responsible for all the teaching of a parish, including taxation, appeasing believers, taking charge of the temple's industries, and propaganda.

By the way, it's almost like a "governor” under the temple!

Moreover, in the territory of a parish archbishop, it is much larger than the Governor of the Empire. After all, a governor is only in charge of a province. According to the division of the Temple, more than 40 provinces of the Empire are divided into eight parishes, equivalent to three or five provinces covered by one parish.

Importantly, these archbishops, as head of temple teaching on one side, not only hold taxes and property in the name of the temple… but also have their own military power!

The Holy Knight Regiment of the Temple is stationed in each parish, with about a few thousand knights per parish.

What's the difference between having your own finances and your own military powers, this “archbishop”, and the governor of an empire? And, more power, more status, and more!

Most importantly, according to the tradition of the Temple of Light, the archbishops of each parish are the true central figures in the temple. After the death of each Pope, if a new Pope is to be established, one of the eight diocesan archbishops of the Empire is chosen to succeed him!

At the time of selection, the open criterion was to list the achievements of each archbishop during his or her tenure in the local parish, including tax revenues, the indoctrination of the faithful, the development of new faithful, etc.

In other words, this requires a boat ride back to the Archbishop of Empire. Whatever his merits, or his position in the temple. At least nominally, he is one of the future successors to the Pope!

That name alone is awe-inspiring enough.

For such a person, Dewey, though reluctant to deal more, does not want to be guilty. So he thought about it, and he said to the mayor, "Well, anyway, there's plenty of empty seats on my boat. When will the Bishop arrive? ”

“It should be by tomorrow morning.” The mayor was relieved and answered quickly: "After Archbishop Maximus' boat broke down, they had abandoned the boat and were coming by wagon and would certainly arrive here tomorrow morning. ”

“Well, I'll stay here for the day until the Archbishop arrives. ”

The mayor was sent away and Dewey sighed.

After all, the mayor asked himself, if he refused, it would certainly go to the archbishop's ear. You can't offend people.

Besides, even though I am afraid of the Temple, at least Hussein's number one fugitive is not around right now, and I have no reason to be afraid.

Just... Dewey touched her head.

He was used to having long, long, thick hair that covered that little devil's horn on his head, and Dewey had deliberately designed a haircut for himself that made the hair thicker on his head.

Besides, it's a big deal to wear your magician robe and your magician hat tomorrow! Well, an archbishop can't come and pull my hat off and check my hair.

(Spit blood for the month ticket!!!
