The Origin of Arcane

Chapter 20 The Bastille



Chad, you lead a small team and deploy control in the direction of Bastille. When you find that Bastille has sent troops out of the city, send someone to report immediately. If you encounter hunting slave soldiers who go back to ask for help on the road, don't touch them. Not only don't move them, but also Protect them, make sure the plea is sent back to the Bastille, and you can pick your men and go without half a minute's delay.

Take orders.

The rest of the people split up and go to all the villages that can be found, and gather all the people that can be summoned. I want to capture the Bastille, so let's do it.

As ordered.

Maybe it was Sean's clean voice of order, maybe it was the last impassioned sentence I want to capture the Bastille, which stimulated everyone's expressions to become very excited. They had been waiting for this day for a lifetime.

If other people said such words, they would definitely scoff at them. If these words came out of Xiao En's mouth, they would firmly believe them. This kind of trust was not born out of thin air, but accumulated over ten years. .

As waves of people spread out, the big net that Xiao En wove will soon take shape.

In fact, this big network has been compiled since he was able to walk. It is a network of contacts accumulated little by little with time and practical actions.

Those who have been helped by Sean and his mother are all small nodes on this big network, among which those orphaned children are the main thread.

If you plant flowers deliberately, the flowers will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will make shade.

The latter sentence is very suitable for Xiao En. At the beginning, he didn't think about gaining anything from those orphaned children. He just wanted to get what he needed and supported each other to survive. The current network is also the same. .

Sean is just following the principle of many friends, many paths, many enemies, many walls. What's more, making many outpatient visits is also a good opportunity to practice your medical skills. I didn't expect that after more than ten years, such a huge relationship has been formed. net.

As for how big this net is, even Sean himself is not sure.

After all, over the past ten years or so, there have been countless people who have been favored by him and his mother.

Some are no longer alive, some have children in groups, and some have become prominent, and it is not uncommon to become the head of a village or a village.

Now that the net has been cast out, it is not up to Sean to decide how big the fish can be caught. All he can do now is wait patiently.

During the waiting process, if accompanied by delicious food, the time will not be so long, and making delicious food is also something Sean is good at. Even if he is not good at it, after more than ten years of training, he will become good at it.

In the Andes Mountains in autumn, there is never a shortage of various ingredients. These ingredients are pure natural, pollution-free wild organic vegetables and various game. As long as they are properly matched, even a large pot can be stewed The excellent taste of color, fragrance and taste is just a matter of minutes to conquer those Andes mountain people.

After more than ten years of hard work, Sean finally figured out one thing. The same delicious ingredients, but the taste of the housewives of the Andes mountain people is similar to that of pig food. It's not that they are too stupid, but that they The real shrewdness-it can save food.

Even so, every family does not have the habit of leftovers. Whether it is a dish or a pot, it is cleaner than a dog licking it, and even the effort of washing dishes is saved.

...

Bastille, it has many aliases, and people in the Manyu Army used to call it the City of Gold because it is backed by a huge gold mine - the Andes Mountains.

There are not only all kinds of precious medicinal materials, gorgeous animal skins, but also wealth that can walk on two legs, but if you have enough courage to go to the deep mountains, as long as you can come back alive, the harvest in the deep mountains is enough for you. The next ten years will be extremely carefree.

High rewards come with high risks. There are many people who found wealth in this gold mine. After entering, there are even more people who have never heard from them again. Therefore, this city is also called City of the Brave. Only those who A place where courageous people dare to come to live.

The Andes mountain people called this city City of Sin, City of Weeping and City of Blood and Tears. This city was completely built on the blood and tears of the Andes mountain people. Every stone on it, All with the blood and tears of the Andes mountain people.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a military castle rather than a city. There are no regular residents here. There are only two kinds of people here, one is the slave hunter, and the other is the Andes waiting to be sold.

In fact, the Bastille can be regarded as an old antique with a name and a surname. The exact time of its establishment is no longer available. There is still a history of one or two hundred years, but it is divided into thirty years ago and thirty years. said later.

Thirty years ago, Bastille was just a small military fort. It was stationed with a hundred guards that had never been full all the year round. In name, it was to guard against the mountain people of the Andes Mountains. Cannon fodder plays a dispensable warning role.

Once the large-scale Andes mountain people emerge from the mountain, the military fortress will either become an empty fortress, or it will be directly flattened by the Andes mountain people. , the local lords sent new cannon fodder over again.

This situation did not change fundamentally until thirty years ago.

In that year an incident happened and two people appeared.

In that year, the contemporary Duke of Faerun, Borg Slav Feiren, succeeded to the throne. This young duke with the reputation of a desert lion showed his superb military accomplishment, and led the golden camel that was not well-known in the mainland at the time. The Bujiang ancient river successfully ambushed the Andes mountain people who came out to plunder.

That battle was a model of ambush tactics. Before the chaotic army of Andes mountain people could react, the golden camel heavy cavalry shouting for glory appeared in front of them with the momentum of thunder, and they were defeated and bloody. Flow into a river.

It is said that more than 20,000 Andes mountain people were wiped out in that battle, and nearly 30,000 were captured, while the casualties of the Golden Camel Heavy Cavalry were less than 100.

That battle severely damaged the Andis mountain people's vitality. Although the number of casualties was not as exaggerated as the Faerun family's propaganda, there was always a loss of 20,000 to 30,000, all of which were the pillars of the Andes mountain people's family.

The Sanzhai and Badong people who led the looting from the mountain were the most casualties. Since then, their reputation among the Andes mountain people has plummeted. Coupled with civil strife, they gradually lost their leadership position. of chaos.

If there is no other person, after ten years of rest and recuperation, the Andes mountain people will still leave the mountain from here when the next generation grows up, and walk on the old path of their ancestors.

The appearance of this person completely changed the living conditions of the Andes mountain people for the next 30 years. This man named Burton Batchel was none other than the owner and supreme ruler of Bastille.

Bolton Batchel, this is a man with a legendary experience, who can build a city in just 30 years by himself, and suppress a nation for 30 years. Full of legend.

People who know him like to call him a merchant knight, a knight who is proficient in business.

Bolton was also a member of the Golden Camel Cavalry, one of the thousand Golden Camel Cavalry that defeated the Andes mountain people. He saw a lot of business opportunities from the captured Andes mountain people, and fought Afterwards, he took advantage of his military achievements and directly claimed his fief in Bastille.

Taking advantage of the strength of the Faerun family and the downturn of the Andes mountain people, the frenzied hunting of slaves began. Whether they were trained as serfs or gladiators, they could be sold at a good price. Earned the first pot of gold.

Under his deliberate advocacy and his own example, countless people followed suit, and the hunting slave team began to enter the mountain like locusts.

It is said that during the peak period, dozens of hunting slave teams entered the mountain on the same day, forcing the living range of the Andes mountain people hundreds of miles into the mountain. Achievements that have not been achieved for several years.

A large number of slaves also led to the vigorous development of the slave trade industry and the gladiatorial industry of the Manyu Army, which have now developed into the two pillar industries of the Manyu Army.

The high demand naturally drives the continuous development of Shounu. This is a typical win-win model. Under such circumstances, the development speed of Bastille is naturally like a wheel.

Turning Bastille into what it is now is the most proud thing in old Bolton's life. He has always regarded her as his own child—the kind that is closer than his own son, because he never hugged her since he was a child. Several times, but he has to patrol Bastille every day, from beginning to end, rain or shine.

Counting his age, Old Bolton was over sixty, but apart from his graying hair, his waist was still straight, his appetite remained the same as before, and he walked with vigor and eyes as sharp as an eagle.

The sentry on the arrow tower didn't respond, and he had already spotted the embarrassing figure coming out of the Andes Mountains, which made his brows frowned into a knot. That person had a very familiar costume on him - Bastille Marksman uniform.

Has the sharpshooter school team recently trained in the mountains?

No, sir.

What about the final assessment for the newcomers?

No, sir, the assessment date this time is set in winter.

Then who can tell me, what's the matter with the military uniform on this guy? There are defectors in the marksman school regiment? Or the military uniform of the Bastille marksman has become a clown's clothes, and anyone can wear it? Old Bolton said. The tone was too high for two verses, and anyone who knew him well knew that this was a precursor to his outbreak.

No wonder he is so angry. The Bastille sharpshooter is an elite unit that he has practiced and is proud of. It is a great weapon against the Andes mountain people. Anything about this unit will make him focus on.

Master Benson borrowed a squadron's sharpshooter ten days ago with the master's warrant. The old butler reminded, This squad has not returned to the squad yet. He should be a member of that squadron.

They haven't come back yet? Old Bolton's brows not only did not relax, but frowned even deeper. At that time, the reason why he gave Benson a squadron marksman was to deal with the son from Sauron City, the main running dog. I've had enough of eagle hunting, and for the sake of excitement, I even learned how to play slave hunting.

He really thought those mountain people were like domesticated slaves, when they saw you coming, they knelt on the ground obediently and waited for you to tie them up with ropes?

Hunting slaves is an industry full of blood and tears, not only the mountain people, but also half of the hunting slaves. The hunting slaves in this city will change every few years. There are only a handful of people who leave with rich wealth, and most of them leave their lives forever in the opposite mountain to become nourishment for the mountain forest.

At this moment, Old Bolton had a bad premonition that what the sharpshooter brought back might not be good news. Turning around and going down the city wall, he ordered: Take him to the war room, and at the same time ask Kleist Your Excellency is coming with General Erickson.

Yes, sir.
