I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 43: Savages (I)

Some outsiders came from the mountains. They were wearing uniform black clothes and had muskets. They set up camp by the river this afternoon.

Pasa lay cautiously in a patch of grass, and through the gaps in the weeds he looked at the outsider who was busy working in an open space two hundred steps away.

It's too far away to see clearly.

But Pasa didn't dare to get too close, because he saw that this group of people were very alert. The sentries standing on the rocks and hiding in the trees were paying close attention to any movement nearby.

Pasa had changed directions several times, but he couldn't find an angle that would allow him to get through.

This kind of thing made Pasa a little nervous, because he was the best hunter and scout in the tribe!

Even he couldn't get close to the cordon of this group of people and observe these people of unknown origin up close. What does this mean?
Are they soldiers of the Bohemian Empire?
Pasa stared with wide eyes, observing and analyzing the uniforms of these people carefully.

After watching for a while, Pasa felt that they did not look like Bohemian soldiers.

The Oka tribe often clashed with the Bohemians and fought several battles. Although they lost more than they won, the Oka people also became familiar with the latter's military organization.

Those in blue are regular troops. They are good at fighting and have excellent weapons and equipment. It is absolutely impossible to fight them head-on because these Bohemians generally have field artillery.

It is already difficult to shoot at each other with bows and arrows and muskets. When encountering artillery bombardment, even the most brave and skilled Oka warriors will be defeated.

Those in gray robes are Bohemia's reserve troops. They are cowardly and poorly equipped. If we just rush over and successfully get close to them, the Oka warriors will be able to defeat them with their small numbers.

However, although the gray-robed soldiers were easy to defeat, they were numerous. After defeating one group, two more would rush over, which was very annoying. On the front battlefield, the Oka tribe had no choice but to retreat.

So, whether it is blue clothes or gray clothes, Pasa doesn't want to see them.

As for the people in black clothes who appeared here, Pasa hoped that they were not Bohemians, because they were very disciplined and too vigilant. If a conflict eventually occurred, the Oka tribe would definitely suffer.

If they were from the Reteria Empire, that would be even worse.

Pasa continued to observe, and soon he found a group of people leaving the main group and heading towards the icy Net River.

This is a good opportunity!
Pasa's spirits lifted. He began to retreat slowly, preparing to leave here and walk towards the Naite River in another direction, observing closely and even taking the opportunity to find an opportunity to capture one of them.

However, just as Pasa was thinking about this, he did not notice that behind him, there was a figure moving slowly and silently towards him, like a slowly playing movie.

Pasa was completely unaware until the latter's hand slowly moved towards the former's neck.

……

"What, caught a wild man?"

Chris, who was taking Mia and a team of musketeers to check out the river crossing point, listened to the player's report in surprise.

"Yes, I caught a wild man!"

The player with "Barbarossa" on his head nodded seriously, then turned around and pointed. Chris looked in the direction of his finger and saw a disheveled man wearing animal skins tied to a tree.

"I caught him near the camp. He was lying behind a bush. I thought he was a wild boar and almost threw a spear at him."

The latter was very irritable after being restricted in his freedom. When he saw Chris looking behind him, he saw the man mumbling something that Chris could not understand.

I really couldn't understand it. Chris could understand Bagnian and speak Bohemian because of the memory of his previous life. He also knew a little about Minisian because of his mother's impression.

However, Chris, who knew so many languages, couldn't understand a word the man said.

In this situation, Chris had to believe what Barbarossa said, and he really caught a savage.

The savages' shouts were loud and harsh. After listening for a while, Chris became a little impatient.

"Who knows what this wild man is shouting about?" "I don't know. I don't understand."

"Kill him, there's no use keeping him alive!"

This suggestion was made by a player, not Barbarossa, but Home Alone. He heard that there was something exciting going on here, so he specially came here with his subordinates.

"You're crazy, why are you killing people randomly?"

Barbarossa was a little unhappy. This was the trophy he had captured. Even if it was useless, he could just put it in a cage and use it as an ornamental animal. Whether it was useful or not was another matter, but this was definitely a unique thing.

"Why keep it if it's not stupid? Isn't it a waste of food?"

"I am happy with it, what's your business?"

"I don't like it. I'm going to poison him tonight."

"Your uncle's..."

During the quarrel, Isaac and his men came rushing over after hearing the news. After he came over, he just glanced at the man on the tree, then looked around nervously, sizing up the nearby mountains and forests.

Chris noticed Isaac's abnormal behavior and subconsciously pulled out the flintlock rifle on his back.

"What's wrong, Isaac?"

"Sir, when and where was this mountain savage captured?"

"Just now, he was caught near the camp... Is the situation bad?"

After Chris quickly answered, he couldn't help but ask, Isaac's behavior made him a little nervous.

The two players who were arguing and about to fight also stopped and came over to listen.

Mountain Barbarian, sounds interesting.

"I am not sure."

Isaac looked around and found nothing unusual. He turned around and looked at the animal-skinned savage who was still shouting, frowning.

"When I was in the army, I heard about the mountain barbarians in the El Province. They had a conflict with the Bohemian military. I suspect we have accidentally entered their territory."

"Aren't we in the Bohemian Empire now? How could this be the territory of the mountain barbarians!?"

Chris was surprised.

"We know this is Bohemian territory. Coincidentally, the mountain barbarians think so too."

"So what should we do? The people have been captured. Should we kill them or let them go? Speaking of which, can you understand what he's saying?"

"I don't understand either... I suggest you tie it here and cross the river tonight..."

"He was asking who we were and what we were doing here."

At this moment, a voice interrupted. Chris turned around and saw Mia and her big white pig standing next to the savage.

What made Chris feel even more strange was that the wild man had stopped shouting. Instead, he looked at Mia and the white pig at her feet with an incredible look on his face.
Then, after watching for a while, the barbarian showed an expression of fanaticism and sincerity, and sang a long and melodious ballad loudly.

Hearing the ballad, the big white pig also looked up at the barbarian and hummed.

After receiving the response from the big white pig, the barbarian stretched his neck even more excitedly and continued to shout mountain songs regardless of his current situation.
