Log in to the farming game in advance

Chapter 296 Meeting Human Again
For this expedition, Tomorrow City is equipped with a large number of chariots and horses, which are transported on ships and transported all the way south.

Half a day later, when they arrived at Nan'an Town, the army disembarked and pulled [-] carriages to the land by the way.

These carriages have been modified to remove the roof and side walls, and can carry eight soldiers at a time, or be used to transport rations.

If it is a war, you can use four soldiers to set up a shield wall to protect the friendly army, and then assign four people to shoot with muskets. After firing the guns, the carriage can still run, increasing the mobility of the musketeers.

It is also possible not to set up a shield wall, each car is lined up in a straight line, and eight people in each car fire at the same time.

Sitting in the car, Ivan spread out the surrounding terrain map produced by Nan'an Town, which recorded the location of Nan'an Town and the villages he would meet on the road.

"Master Ivan, we will pass a small village on our way forward, do we need to investigate them?"

"Go and see, move if you can persuade them to move, and one more point, everyone is not allowed to commit crimes, understand?"

"Understood!" The soldiers replied emphatically.

Ivan glanced at the nearby topographic map, and their carriage had already detoured into the official road, which is the main passage opened by man, and there were fewer weeds here.

The carriage drove for 10 minutes, and finally saw a house made of mud, appearing on the side of the road.

"The whole army is on alert, don't relax your vigilance!"

After Ivan gave the order, he patted the pigeons on the car.

These pigeons are pigeons specially trained by Alan to be able to perform scouting tasks of moderate difficulty.

The pigeons saw Ivan's sign language, and the three pigeons understood, spread their wings and flew into the blue sky, circling above the small village.

A pigeon came back half a minute later, and Ivan took out three colored cardboards, each with a different color, corresponding to no danger, danger, and serious danger.

The pigeon stepped on the non-dangerous white paper, Ivan heaved a sigh of relief, turned his head and ordered to everyone: "The village is safe, enter the village!"

The orcs got out of the carriage and entered the village on foot. They saw that Xiaoni Village was empty, and there was no orc on the road.

Ivan carefully observed each mud house, and saw that the things inside were not damaged, but there were many animal footprints on the ground.

"The village engulfed by the beast tide?"

Ivan walked out of the mud hut and saw the small wooden fence that had been pushed down. There were a few deep footprints there, further confirming his guess.

"This footprint is a bit like a frog. Judging from the depth of the footprint, it may be an unknown beast." Ivan squatted down and pinched the footprint.

Two minutes later, the scouts came back from reconnaissance and stood at attention to salute: "Report, no villagers were found!"

"Leave the village, get in the car and move on!"

The army returned to the carriage and continued to move forward. Two pigeons were released from the sky to patrol, and the other pigeons were on the carriage to save energy.

The carriage drove forward for half an hour, and the flying pigeons suddenly returned to the army, and then Ivan knew that there were buildings in front of him, and there were people.

"The whole army is on alert!" Ivan said.

The musketeers tightened their bodies again and clenched their spears tightly. Long-barreled muskets were not so easy to use in forest battles.

After 5 minutes, everyone saw ordinary mud hut buildings and orcs in tattered linen shirts working in the farmland, and they were relieved.

It turned out to be a small village.

However, this small village is not marked on the map. It may be a little-known village, or it may be a small village newly built in recent years.

The map of Lionheart Country hasn't been updated for a long time, and the map of Nan'an Town in Ivan's hand was drawn ten years ago.

The orcs in the small village were farming, and they were shocked when they suddenly saw a group of orcs with uniform styles and confident and tough temperament.

The little villagers were not afraid of the little beasts, but they were afraid of the army. They didn't know which side the opponent was on, so they returned to the village with their hoes.

The villagers retreated to the open space, trembling one by one. There was a woman in the crowd holding a child, and hurriedly brought it into the mud hut, for fear that the army would find the child.

After a while, two pure human beings appeared in the crowd of villagers. Their faces were flustered and they asked anxiously, "My lords, what's the matter?"

Seeing the appearance of the human village chief, Ivan narrowed his eyes and quietly looked at these two pure humans without animal ears and tails.

The human village head was stared at, his heart straightened, and he didn't know what the two opponents wanted to do.

After three seconds.

"We are the regular army of Tomorrow City. Our mission is to liberate the slaves in the whole country and call out all the slaves in your village."

Ivan looked at it for a while, thinking that the other party was too weak, and immediately lost interest.

The human village head said with a bitter face, "Our village is a small village and there are no slaves."

Ivan waved his hand, indicating that it was all right, and then led the team into the village to check if there were any slaves.

The villagers are very afraid of the existence of the army, but they dare not say anything.

After Ivan inquired randomly, he learned that the village had experienced a beast tide before, and the villagers hid in caves for refuge.

Another village was also affected by the beast tide, so the human village head of another village also led a team to take refuge, and the villagers of the two villages just merged.

After the beast tide passed, the two village chiefs led the villagers back to the village to continue farming, but the farmland was trampled by wild beasts, and there was not much food in stock. Now the whole village was afraid that Ivan and other soldiers would stay for lunch.

His heart moved, and he persuaded: "You don't have rice to eat, why don't you go to Tomorrow City, where I have food and housing, and I also arrange work."

"My lord, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Everyone has lived here for a long time and has feelings for this place. They don't really want to leave their homeland." The human village chief's face changed, and he almost cried.

The army in this era is very dangerous. There are often robberies, women, and children. Ordinary villagers can't avoid it. How could they leave with the army.

However, if the army uses strong methods, the villagers have no choice but to submit, after all, they do not have the ability to fight the army.

"It's okay, our army in Tomorrow City is not an unreasonable army..."

Ivan got up, and it was still in the expedition period, so there was no rush to recruit the village.

When he returned from fighting in Nan'an Town and took a group of prisoners of war back to Tomorrow City, even if their village didn't want to go, they would definitely be terrified when they saw a group of prisoners of war, and they would agree to whatever they said.

"Sir Ivan, five slaves were found!"

Suddenly there was a shout from the village, and the face of the human village chief changed. Without saying a word, he knelt down on his knees, "Master Ivan, please forgive me, those five slaves are the daughters-in-law bought by the villagers from Nan'an Town. They are still pregnant!"

In this era, the ratio of men to women in some small villages was out of balance, and some villagers might go to the city to buy female slaves and buy them back to be their sons' wives.

Ivan knew that the other party's behavior was in line with the concept of contemporary orcs, but he still couldn't help being angry, and said coldly: "Since she is a pregnant woman, we have to take it away!"

"This... But what about the child, those five villagers will be cut off, and we have already raised enough money to buy slaves." The human village head wondered.

"Nothing to do with you."

Ivan turned around and made a loud noise.
