Chapter 110 [Flame Chief]
Chapter 110
Roddy and Camus discussed for a whole morning. Then Camus returned to the barracks outside the city. Before leaving, Camus mentioned the handling of those mountain troops intentionally or unintentionally. Roddy thought for a while and said, "Look at them first. As you said, there is no benefit in killing more people."
Camus said lightly: "Is that so? But your eyes were very murderous intent last night." After saying this, Camus left by himself.
Roddy sat for a while, and was moved by Camus' last words. He couldn't help but think: This Camus looks fierce and rude, and the hills in his heart are much deeper than mine...
Then he couldn't help but smile again. He was a famous general of the empire and his prestige in the empire was second only to the old Duke of Tulip at that time. Of course, he was very powerful.
After thinking for a while, he sent someone to find Governor Sir. Governor Sir looked anxious and looked nervous and terrified, dodging and not daring to touch Roddy's eyes. Roddy sighed, knowing that he was afraid of pursuing his nephew. Although he was disgusted, he still reluctantly made a gentle look and comforted him a few words. He didn't say anything about negotiation, but just said that he wanted to send someone to the mountains to meet the leader of the mountain tribe, first politely and then soldiers, and see if he could persuade them to surrender.
While speaking, Roddy's eyes were aimed at the governor intentionally or unintentionally, which scared him to sweat. He cried and repeatedly said that his body was so weak that he might not be able to adapt to the climate in the mountains. He also said that he was busy and he might not be able to spend his spare time to enter the mountains.
Roddy smiled coldly and then said, "Is this matter so naturally I don't need to go to the Governor. After all, I am Your Majesty's special envoy. I have to go to such comforting things to show sincerity."
The governor was relieved and pretended to dissuade him a few words, saying that the mountain man was savage and fierce, how could the Duke take risks personally, etc.... In the end, Roddy was upset and said that you would go or I would go. The governor was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything else. Finally, he wished him a lot of honor, and I would like to say something like "The Duke is famous, I wish those mountain mankind must be surrendered."
After resting for more than ten days, everything was stable in the military camp outside the city, and the troops of the mountain tribe did not cause trouble anymore. Camus had contacted Wuya's people, and then Wuya sent a leader of the Flame Tribe from the mountains to Ziye City to meet Kamus. Camus took the leader to meet Roddy.
The leader's name was Wu Yu, who was tall and burly, with a burnt-yellow face and a bit of toughness in his brown eyes. He could speak imperial language, but his pronunciation was not very standard. When Camus told him that the Duke of Tulips would come into the mountain to see their patriarch Wuya, the leader's face showed a little surprise. I think he had heard of the Duke of Tulips, but he didn't expect that such a big man would go to negotiate in person. After seeing Roddy, he saw Roddy young, with a handsome face and a bit of doubt and disdain in his expression. It seemed that he did not expect that the Duke of Tulips was so young.
The mountain man is the most powerful warrior. Roddy is young after all, and has a handsome face like a playboy. Secondly, from his figure, he is tall among the imperial people and has a very strong body, but compared with the warrior among the mountain barbarians, he is much thinner. Compared with the leader sent by Wuya, Dandan is comparable in size, but the boss is full of muscles and a thick figure looks like half a giant tree, so he compares Roddy.
In his eyes, when he saw the giant-like guard Rand beside Roddy, the respect in his eyes became a little more...
Wu Yu brought a mountain warrior, each of whom was big and thick, with a wolf-skinned body. Each of them carried a long bent bow behind him. But he liked to apply some weird oil paint on his face, and the good people made him look like a green face and fangs. Rand saw it and felt quite disgusted with these people, but he followed Roddy and his eyes were full of vigilance.
On that day, Roddy took Rand and Wu Yu and his group into the mountain. Originally, Rand asked Roddy to bring some people, but Roddy refused. Roddy smiled faintly and said, "After going, you will be on the territory of others. If they want to be unfavorable to us, it will be useless even if there are many people. You can't bring an army into the mountain, right? Then is it a war or a negotiation?" Looking at Rand's puzzled expression, Roddy said, "I think that Wuya can unify the various mountain tribes and is also a hero. Naturally, he will not do anything like making things difficult for the other party's messenger."
From Ziye City to the south, we rode our horses and drove to the southeast camp of the Southern Legion in one day. Roddy and others supplemented some food and fresh water in the southeast camp, and followed Wu Yu's men into the mountain.
The way to the mountain is in a Chifeng Canyon south of the southeast Daying. After walking for a day from a sheep path in the canyon, you can enter the mountain area.
The terrain in the canyon was extremely dangerous, and there were only two people walking together on the small paths in the valley. The appearance was rugged and covered with stones of various sizes of water chestnuts, so the horses could only walk slowly.
The mountain people did not ride horses, but just walked in front. They wore barefoot grass and fields woven with plants, but they were walking like flying on these rugged mountain roads.
At night, we walked out of the southern exit of the canyon and followed a small path to the mountain. Roddy and Rand finally gave up the horses, and the horses would go back along the way. Both of them followed the mountain people and walked into the mountain.
Along the way, there were lush trees and branches and leaves. The roadside was filled with unknown weeds. The trees in the mountains were dense, almost blocking all the sunlight. Roddy and others walked for a while, and their legs were covered with dew and juice from the weeds.
A mountain man pulled out a sharp sword and walked in front to open the road, cutting off the branches blocking the road. He breathed in the wet air in the woods, and Roddy felt extremely uncomfortable.
The more you walked into the mountains, the thicker the trees around you became. Looking at the giant trees that usually require two or three people to carry, Roddy couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The mountain man Wu Yu said proudly: "What are these? In our place, the largest tree is too big for a dozen people to carry!"
At night, everyone stopped to rest. The way these mountain people stayed in camp was also very strange. They did not allow Rand to make fires, saying that living in the mountains was too dangerous. Rand asked them loudly, what if there was no fire, what if any wild beasts came? The mountain people smiled open their mouths and smiled, but set up several warning traps around them with ropes and sharpened branches, and then took out the strange oil paint to apply it on the exposed skin on their bodies. They found a big tree, and these thick and tall mountain people climbed up the big tree as quickly as a monkey, and found a tree trunk and fell asleep.
Rody and Rand looked at each other. They couldn't climb up a tree to sleep like this. Even if they could climb up, they couldn't sleep. They might fall down after turning over in the middle of the night.
Wu Yu and others ignored the two of them at all. When these mountain men looked at Roddy and the others, they all looked a little hostile. They even looked gloating at night, as if they were waiting to see them look ugly.
Roddy didn't say a word, but just found a big tree with Rand and sat down under the tree, leaning against the trunk, closing his eyes to rest.
In the middle of the night, the cold wind blew in the woods, and the screams of unknown birds came from my ears. The howlings of wild beasts came from afar. The chirpings of wild insects in the grass made Roddy feel bored. When he was sleeping until midnight, Rand couldn't help but jumped up from the ground and grabbed and slapped them, trying to disperse the mosquitoes biting him. This action woke up the mountain people sleeping on the trees. They all looked at Rand and laughed and pointed.
In anger, Rand couldn't help but draw his sword and glared at them.
Roddy also stood up, suppressed the anger in his heart, stopped Rant, and said coldly to Wuyu: "Wuyu! I want you to come from the mountains to our Ziye City. We are all treating your warriors with good wine and meat. Now we are also here to your territory. Is this how you mountain people treat guests!"
As soon as these words came out, Wu Yu's laughter stopped. Although he couldn't see it in the dark, he showed a look of ashamed on his face. He whispered to several companions on the tree, and the people gradually stopped laughing. Wu Yu jumped out of the tree, strode to Roddy, and whispered: "No, right! It's my Wu Yu's wrong! Is this the way for us mountain people to treat guests!" He took out a small cloth bag from his arms. It was the oil paint they applied to his face during the day, and whispered: "Put this on your body, and the bugs in the mountains will not bite you."
The oil paints here really smelled bad, and there was another strange smell. Lantrodi had no choice but to pinch his nose and apply the oil paints on his body. Although the smell was bad, fortunately, after applying them, the mosquitoes around him avoided far away and stopped provoking the two of them.
When dawn, the mountain people jumped off the tree. The first thing they did was to kneel on the ground and bow to the south. They were whimpering as if they were chanting a spell, with a pious expression on their faces. They seemed to be worshiping some gods.
Roddy was curious and couldn't help asking Wu Yu on the way. Wu Yu's attitude towards Roddy was a little kinder, and told him that he was worshiping the patron saint of their Flame Tribe. As for the name of the patron saint, he could only speak in the language of the mountain tribe. A string of strange pronunciations made Roddy smile bitterly when he heard it.
After walking like this for a few days, the forests in the mountains became denser and denser. In the Mianshan Mountains, there were mountains and hills one by one. The Western Zhou Dynasty was full of green and dense mountains and birds. In the morning, you could see some towering peaks surrounded by white fog.
Various wild animals in the woods gradually increased, including wild boars, rabbits, wild foxes, and wild deer. These animals did not seem to be afraid of people. When they saw them walking, they just ran a few steps and looked at them from afar.
The food that Roddy and others had already eaten up, but these mountain people seemed to be born jungle hunters. Each of them had good archery skills. The arrows they used were different from those used by the Imperial Army. They were not made of metal. Most of them were inlaid with wild beasts and other things.
They are good at running and walking in the mountains. They are physically strong and physically agile, and are familiar with the environment in the mountains. Roddy secretly thought in his mind that it would be a big blow to start a war with such a nation in the mountains. Camus's words are not an exaggeration.
Originally, these mountain people didn't look down on Roddy Lant and the other two. Until one day, everyone walked to a mountain spring stream in a mountain, caught a few fish, and prepared to make a fire to grill fish (although these people are well known as the "Flame" tribe, they rarely use flames, which made Roddy very strange). Rand walked to the stream to cut the firewood.
He pulled out his broad sword and shouted softly. After a loud bang, a big tree as thick as a man's waist was cut off by his sword and fell down with a bang in the stunned eyes of the mountain people.
From Wu Yu to his men, the mountain people were stunned. After a while, they suddenly started shouting. They ran up and down to look at Rand, then hugged him enthusiastically and said something Rand couldn't understand at all. They looked at Rand's sword and looked over and over again.
Wu Yu told Rodi that even the more powerful people in their clan would have to cut off such a thick tree and use an axe to cut at least seven or eight times.
Roddy's heart moved and couldn't help asking, "So what about your leader Wuya? How powerful is he?"
Wu Yu's face immediately showed a pious and extremely respectful expression, and his face was extremely serious: "Chief Wuya is a warrior given to us by God! He is the god of heaven descending to earth! He is the protector of our mountain people! How can we compare with the god of heaven!"
Roddy didn't believe it and smiled casually. Seeing that he didn't believe it, Wu Yu immediately showed an angry expression on his face, and he loudly argued how great their Chief Wuya was and how terrifying their strength was.
Finally, Wu Yu was impatient and said loudly: "I tell you that our chief is the greatest! Last time we fought with the Yinyue Tribe, the chief summoned the giant axe of the mountain god and flattened the mountain where the Yinyue Tribe was located and their village together! This is true. Many of the warriors in our Flame Tribe saw it with their own eyes, and I could see it clearly!"
Looking at the impatient and simple expression on Wu Yu's face, Roddy's heart moved, and his face remained unmoved, and continued: "Mountain God's giant axe? What does that look like?"
"It's so amazing! It's so amazing!" Wu Yu looked full of amazement, then said with a solemn expression: "The Chief is standing on a mountain and shouted a few words. Then his body suddenly became several times bigger, just like a giant! Then he reached out to grab a huge battle axe from the sky! Before we could see clearly, the Chief is axe, and the mountain in the Yinyue Tribe has been flattened! It's flattened! Nothing left! There's nothing left! Village, men, women, children, old people, houses, trees, stones... nothing left!"
Roddy and Rand both had different feelings and couldn't help but exchanged glances with each other.

[The public version is indeed very slow now. I'm sorry to everyone. There is no way, the publisher asked me to slow down the lifting of the ban. We have to wait until the previous few volumes have been published before we can speed up the lifting of the ban. Three volumes have been released in November. It is estimated that the progress of the public version will exceed the progress of the public version before this month, and then the lifting of the ban can be accelerated.
To be honest, putting these chapters in VIP now without lifting the ban will not have any benefits for me. It has been so long and the subscription will not be added. It will have no impact on me personally. It is entirely a requirement of the publisher.
I have encountered this kind of thing several times. When I wrote "Hippie Smiley" and "City in Yu" was the same, but I can say with confidence that after the publishing progress of the publisher this month caught up with the public version, I will definitely speed up the lifting of the ban!!
If you doubt dancing, please read my other two books, "Hippie Face" and "The City in Yu", which have been posted by the public after the publication issues are completed!!
Chapter completed!
