Vol 2 Chapter 84: Difficult to travel

Alexander believed that he was not a benevolent person, which can be proved by his treatment of those Bohemians. When the first of Bohemians tried to mutiny, Alexander used the fastest method to calm down the scene. A successful rebellion, although he has promised that all the people who are still loyal to him can get land, but after the rebellion subsided, he still gave the Bohemians who chose to stand on his side more rewards, including making Uliou look Florin, who was about to hit the wall with a pain, and all the loot he got from the rebels.
As for the betrayal, Alexander had no mercy and forgiveness. He ordered that these people be hanged in the open space in front of the farm. The whole process was carried out under the observation of the Bohemia and the Agris.
This gave people the first glimpse of Alexander's iron-blooded side, and his move undoubtedly calmed the proud bohemians.
At least in front of Alexander, they no longer dared to make trouble.
This result made Uliu proud for a while, and whenever he followed his master and saw the fear that the Bohemians respected vaguely, Uliu seemed to return to the original master in Big Vizier The glory when he was around, he even thought that Alexander was the incarnation of Grand Vizier, and those Bohemians were those lowly slaves. And he is the noble identity around the old man, who is flattered by everyone.
But Uliu was very afraid of Nashan. Maybe the decisive and ruthless appearance when he saw Nashan killing in Cosenza was too impressive. Every time he saw Nashan, the Moors would be terrified. Shivering slightly, even if Nashan smiled at him, Uliu ’s little black face would immediately turn into a white face. Later, as long as the voice of the Gypsies came from far, Uliu would immediately scramble his legs in a hurry .
Nali, who is so afraid of Uliu, is not without reason.
On the first day after the team's departure, Nashan found a reason to hang a Bohemian who had just returned to the high carriage of the carriage, and his lips tremble quickly when the person was blown by the cold wind. When the skin turned blue, Nashan was sitting in another car and drinking the hot fruit wine that had just been hot. Until the man was finally put down, he didn't say a word.
But when everyone thought the matter had passed, Nashan slowly pulled out the saber, and in the face of the hundreds of people, he stabbed him fiercely into the man's chest.
In the whole process, he kept holding a ceramic jug and poured wine into his mouth.
Alexander was watching this happen. He had made Sophia far away before, but he didn't expect Nashan to kill him after tormenting the man to half death.
"Don't let your people just think you are terrible," Nashan said quietly when he handed the knife to Alexander to wipe. "Let them think you are their master."
Alexander took Nashan's knife and wiped it slowly with a cloth. Nashan he knew was right. In this era, he often needs to shake the enemy in the cruelest way, but also deter himself.
It's just that he knew he wouldn't do it like Nashan, at least he couldn't kill someone just because he took another piece of meat.
"I want to let those who get out of here know who is in charge here," Nashan sat in the carriage and watched Sophia go back and forth between him and Alexandria with a smile and said with a smile, the Gypsies at this time were completely A kind father. "Do n’t think I ’m killing people indiscriminately. Those guys outside who are hanged for ten times wo n’t atone for their sins."
Alexander nodded silently, knowing that Nashan was telling the truth.
The Bohemians are brave and good at fighting, and with this bravery they are almost brutal and cruel. Whether it is a war with an alien or a civil war between Bohemians, they often care not how many captives are captured. It is how many enemies are killed and how many loot is recovered from the dead.
This makes the wars where Bohemians often participate more cruel and terrible than any other war, and one of the ways of this cruelty is that they will cut off one of their arms and kill each enemy. Show off to others around, so even the Bohemians themselves admonish each other: "If you see a guy who always hangs a few arms immediately, it is best to stay away from him, otherwise it is very Maybe your arm will soon become his loot. "
Because of this, Alexander did not agree with Nashan's move, but he understood that it was indeed necessary for him to do so.
Sure enough, after the incident of the first day, those Bohemians became much more honest, and when they knew that Sophia was Nashan's daughter, no one dared to whistle at her.
"It's actually up to you to do it," Nashanqi said to Alexander right away. "You are Sophia's husband, so you should have slaughtered the kid yourself, so that they know who they really should be afraid of."
Nashan said, pursing his chin slightly and nodding, as if satisfied with his conclusion. Then he looked at Alexander a little bit disgusted: "You really should be a cavalry, and then you will know your kind of soft lying The method of lying down is useless. Hanging a mistaken is different from being able to hang any of them at will. Only if they feel that you can arbitrarily determine the life and death of each of them, they will be real. Afraid of you. "
"Aren't you afraid of their mutiny?" Alexander took a sip of the hot mixed fruit wine handed over from Nashan, and the spicy and sour alcohol rushed to his head, making him cough.
"As long as they can feed them at any time, they will not resist you," the Gypsies said in a low voice. "It's better to feed the wolf cubs but not to feed them. Only then can you whip them towards you at will Run in the direction you want to go. "
Alexander did not expect that this Gypsy with an extraordinary ability actually has this kind of scheming, or that this is also the experience that has been honed over the years, but he can't help but admit that Nashan's words are very reasonable. At least those Bohemians are much more honest now.
"Where do you want to send the food?" Nashan suddenly asked, looking curiously behind the team. When he saw the farmers and mercenaries carrying spears and muskets of varying lengths, Na Shan frowned. "What do you bring these people to do? They will only delay your time. If they are completely escorted by the Bohemians, it will definitely be much faster than now. Look at the whole day, but we have not walked out of this one. On the edge of the river. "
The river said by Nashan is the Agri River flowing through the plain.
Although the Agri River is the source of this plain, few people will travel along the river.
This is because the trend of the Agri River is too complicated. Many times, if you want to go up and down the river, not only will you go out of a lot of injustices, but also because the too complicated road conditions make travel more difficult.
However, Alexander didn't seem to care that the road was so difficult to go. He insisted that the team advance slowly and unhurriedly along the south bank of the river after crossing the river on the bridge that Ruosha led the team across. So after a day, his grain transportation team was still just around Naples from a little further away and embarked on the road to the north.
In fact, if some of them can take the time to run to the top of a distant mountain and look down, they will find that after a full day of walking, they can still see the top of the cathedral of Naples City.
"Nashan, we might go a lot in the north this time," Alexander decided to tell Nashan some things in advance, although he could not say it completely, but he thought of Sophia's safety, he decided to remind Nashan in advance. "Count Modillo wants The food I sent was nominally sold in the North, but in fact some people will get this batch of food, but for some unexplainable reasons, we will certainly not be very peaceful along the way, so if there is any danger , I hope you can protect Sophia, I believe that you can certainly do this with your own skills. "
Sophia, who was sitting on the side of a barbeque, was stopping. She looked at Alexander a bit strangely, and then suddenly smashed the barbeque against him with an angry hand.
At the same time, a series of "Ah ~" accusations filled with emotion in her mouth, though monophonic, seemed to be angry that Alexander was about to abandon her in danger.
Alexander stretched out his hand and firmly grasped Sophia's continually swatting hands, but he obviously felt a little hard, which made him wonder again how such a little girl could have such a lot of strength, just looking at the side with full lard Na Shan, who wiped his crooked beard, felt that this was not really a big problem.
It was dark early in the autumn, when the team could still see the last rays of light left by the dark red sun in front, the darkness was shrouded like a black gauze coming from the sky.
As the darkness fell, the team's progress rate became slower.
"Tell the mercenaries to keep them in formation and not to fall behind," Alexander instructed Uliu, who now regards the Moors as heraldsmen, while focusing his attention on the infantry recruited from the farmers before. " Tell the infantry that if they do n’t want to be hungry at night, they ’ll keep up and it ’s late autumn. I think they know better than us what would happen if the order was lost. of."
Uliu nodded excitedly and turned and jumped on horseback. He really liked the job of being a herald, so the Moors quickly ran back along the team with the spirit of the rareness of most already exhausted people. go with.
"What are you doing, you didn't go so anxiously before, and now you're forcing those farmers to keep going," Nashan asked strangely. "Although the camping is a bit early, it's already dark, even if you start to go now far."
"I'm not in a hurry."
Alexander looked at Sophia next to her. Maybe she ate too much barbecue and then exercised for a while. Sophia seemed a little tired. She was curling her body up and leaning on the car to sleep soundly, even if the body could not hold it. Shaking, but this didn't affect her. On the contrary, there was a sweet smile on Sophia's face, which seemed to return to her familiar gypsy caravan in her sleep.
"I want to let the soldiers know that they are no longer in their own homes, and they are no longer holding agricultural tools but weapons of murder," Alexander's eyes turned to the dark distance. "I don't know what will happen before this trip, And I have no time to train these soldiers, so I have to use all methods on the road to turn them into an army as soon as possible, at least look like an army. "
Nashan looked at Alexandria unexpectedly. He first felt a little unclear, and then he suddenly thought of something, looking up all the way, looking towards the back of the team.
In a dark night, the entire food team was moving forward slowly. The poor road dragged the team very long, and the infantry assigned to each place gathered together in twos and threes and moved slowly around the team.
In the dark field, there were faint sounds of howling beasts that came out of the night to forage.
"Someone will definitely be left behind," Nashan muttered to himself, and then he sat down slowly, looking at Alexander with strange eyes. "Boy, I have to say I looked at you before, I always thought you were like Madam, it seems that you are a wild wolf. "
Alexander glanced at Sophia again, and after making sure she was still asleep, he took a hip flask filled with fruit wine and took a sip.
"I have no other way," Alexander laughed bitterly. "I don't have time to train those farmers into soldiers. Only in this way, I have to force them to use their utmost strength. What would happen if they were left behind in such a place? Everyone knows, and it ’s up to them if they can keep up. "
"But what's the use of doing this? Do you still expect those peasants to become useful soldiers?" Nashan shook his head disapprovingly. "The mercenaries you find are not good to them, even if you train them." , Can they be more useful than Bohemian cavalry? "
"This is not necessarily impossible, and sometimes miracles will happen."
Alexander looked back at the team behind him. He knew that some of those people would definitely be left behind. Most of these people would be lucky to follow up again, or simply run home, but some people would be unlucky. They would Encounter with a beast or you may lose your life by getting lost in the swamp.
But Alexander didn't feel guilty about it.
He did n’t know if this was a contradiction. He could n’t accept Nashan killing a person at will to stand up, but he used this method to put more people at risk. At least he knew that after one night today, these soldiers would definitely Someone will never show up again.
But he really had no other choice.
He did n’t have time to train an army step by step, and he did n’t have time to train this army to fight their will again and again. He had to bring such a group of nearly all people to the north to face or be a local noble army. , Or the French army about to lose red eyes, or even the Allied forces of the Holy Alliance led by Gonzalo!
No matter who they meet, it is difficult for such a team not only to have no chance of victory, but even a little resistance.
Because of this, when Modillo asked him to hire more mercenaries at his expense and bring his precious Bohemian cavalry, he did not object.
Since he wanted to take Sophia to the north, he must ensure her safety.
Alexander couldn't accept the blow of losing Sophia again, let alone let her face any danger.
Even if Nashan accidentally brought a group of Bohemians, Alexander still decided to take advantage of this opportunity to go north to arm these peasants who had just put down their pitchforks and picked up their spears, just slightly The difference is that he has a new idea.
"I want to train them into an army that can at least confront the enemy, instead of just looking at the enemy's flag i and fleeing the wind," Alexander explained to Nashan. "I believe that as long as they do not collide with the enemy for the first time , Then I have a way to get through the difficulties afterwards. "
"I hope you won't be disappointed by that time," Nashan shook his head disapprovingly. "Remember not to count on me. I will protect my daughter first when there is danger."
"This is what I hope, as long as you protect Sophia." Alexander said with a slight smile at Nashan.
The night grew deeper, and when the team started to become messy, Alexander finally gave the order to stop.
With the exception of the Bohemians, almost everyone stopped as soon as they heard the horn, and then there was a series of painful moaning from abnormal fatigue.
"Let your people pick up those who have fallen behind," Alexander came down from the car holding the somewhat confused Sophia, and he said to Nashan walking slowly in the camp with a dry grass leaf in his mouth. "Those people will be bad examples for others, which is enough to scare them all."
"You are a bad boy." Nashan spewed out the blades of grass and whistled, and a few Bohemians ran over immediately.
Alexander hugged Sophia to the camp that was being built and saw that there was a fire that had been lit. He walked over, but he was a little surprised that the fire was working beside the fire. The two seemed to be about the same age as Sophia. Boy.
"Master, please come here." Seeing Alexander, a boy greeted him in a panic. "Let my brother take care of you. I have to pick up my father."
Seeing Alexander a little surprised, the boy explained: "My father is behind, I have to go and see."
The boy said he was leaving, but Alexander grabbed his arm.
"Sit down and wait." Alexander felt a little sullen in his heart. He didn't want to see the anxious look in the boy's eyes, but just hugged Sophia to make her lie more comfortably in her arms.
The boy's lips moved ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but still sat obediently by the fire, except for the hustle and bustle of the crowd in the distance, only the crackling sound of the wood burning in the fire.
I don't know how long it passed. A sound of horseshoes from far and near alerted the people in the camp. With the unique bohemian whistle, the first soldiers left behind were brought back.
Watching the two boys running towards the crowd, Alexander pulled Sophia slowly towards the dark place on the edge of the camp.
Time passed slowly, and soldiers who were left behind were brought back.
But as fewer people returned, there seemed to be a riot in the camp.
Alexander put Sophia in her arms, gently covering her ears with both hands, watching the girl's clear eyes looming in the night, and Alexander lowered her head and gently kissed her forehead.
"Sophia, I hope you will always be so pure, even if you don't grow up, I will never be able to have you." Alexander's hand exerted a little force to isolate Sophia from the hustle and vaguely heard in the camp Nashan showed a murderous cry. To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
