章節 80: Humanity is becoming extinct
George, oblivious to all this, rubbed his chin, looked over at Martin, and thought.
Mishan was the new owner of that coal mine - the previous guy had been taken out by him.
He had just taken over that coal mine less than a month ago.
The hundred or so people under him are basically all the men in that survivor camp.
In addition to these men, there are a dozen militiamen left in the camp. The rest are 30 to 50 young women and a few stragglers.
In the beginning, there were more than three hundred men in the coal mine, according to Mishan. However, the original owner of the coal mine and other lords in a conflict, the coal mine dead and injured some, ran away from some people. Some of the injured also slowly all dead.
So by the time Mishan 'took over' there, the coal mine is also left with so many people.
' It seems that the various regions, the surviving guys are indeed quite a lot. But the conflict is a lot of. Especially in such remote areas as coal mines, there is no field around. Want to eat, in addition to the exchange can only go to rob.''
According to what Mishan said, the Viscount's territory is now in complete chaos. The surviving thousands of people are divided into seven or eight small forces, and there are also some lords from the west who are eyeing this area.
' And in the midst of this bad environment, if you do not want to be annexed and robbed of food. Then the only way to keep the survivor camps afloat is to rely on constant pillaging of the population and constant killing and bloodshed - it's like quenching your thirst, but it's the only way. So although the various survivor forces have some verbal agreements, they are simply meaningless.'
To take a glimpse, in this environment, the entire world's population is dwindling, and many people often die before they reach adulthood.
Some surviving natural villages, too, are becoming fewer and fewer - the old, the young, the women and the weak have no one to take them in, and the survivors continue to plunder food and young people, so they can only slowly die out.
As for those who were plundered to the big strongholds, they will also slowly die in the war...
''Humans, are gradually becoming extinct...''
In the afterglow, Martin had finished his lecture. I don't know what he said, but after listening, those captured guys did their work very obediently - they started to unload the stones from those wagons to vacate the empty space.
''Except for a few, most of them were as if they were puppets. I'm afraid that even if Martin didn't say anything, these people would habitually carry out his orders.' George secretly shook his head, he found these guys, a little worse than the state of those serfs.
It was like a group of driven shells without souls.
Someone suddenly tapped George's shoulder, pulling him back from his thoughts. He turned his head back with a jolt and found it was the smiling Aggie.
"Don't you walk with a sound?! Next time you suddenly appear behind me like a ghost, I'll hang you on top of the stone clock!"
"My Lord, I really didn't mean it..." Aoshi argued with a bitter face. After that, he quietly observed the lord's face, spat out his tongue, and continued: "My lord, what that guy said is basically true, there is indeed no one left at the coal mine. But there is that matter about the arrow, I think he must have lied - he bit the bullet and didn't say anything, but I conclude that the arrow was shot by him, and that unlucky person who was hanged should have just happened to pick up that crossbow that Mishan threw away..."
"Hmm." George nodded, already expected this matter - after searching that piece of amulet from that guy, he knew that guy was a dead duck.
After a moment of contemplation, he said, "You go run, tell Jack to bring all the men who can work, bring more wagons, and go directly to the coal mine."
Today's fog is so heavy, I'm afraid that only Ajay and Jack can complete this errand. In other words, he was really a bit uneasy.
"Chief, then..." Ajay blinked, scratching his head and said, "So we're not planting today?"
"Autumn planting, my ass! Get all the men here - I'll loot the place today!"
After hearing these words, Agi slapped his hand in excitement, untied a big horse and headed for the territory.
At this time Alexander also dragged the shivering sack back from the forest inside, he grabbed the sack in his hand, towards the ground a dun. In the miserable scream of Mishan, removed the sack from his head.
"Lord ~ ~" the nosebleed Mi Shan ignored the pain all over his body, crawled over and hugged George's thigh. He didn't say a word, just wiped his nose and tears and kept crying. It was like a knight crying to the lord...
As if the two people really know each other well...
Mishan this person, George actually know. Or rather, he knew his father.
After seeing the 'four-leaf clover' family crest on Mishan's chest, George recognized him.
This is one of the few knights who have kept their family honor alive, and generations of their ancestors have been valiant warriors.
Mishan's father and George's father have more exchanges, really say pull some relations, eight poles can really hit.
But his own robe can not be printed with any family crest, although with Johannes' flag background, but this color scheme, in fact, common enough.
So Yoneyama this guy's performance, also really shameless...
Alexander kicked Mishan's ass and said, "This guy is quite resistant to beatings." , the pain made Mishan scream again.
George looked at Alexander and threw the amulet in his hand: "Take it with you, this thing is worth at least a few thousand black bread."
Alexander foolishly took it and put it into his arms. Immediately after that, he suddenly found that his gaze could penetrate the mist and see the birds in the trees. He touched the back of his head, could not help but look around curiously, holding a bow in his hand, stupidly...
Shaking his head, George turned his gaze to look at the cunning fellow at his feet, and he rubbed his chin in thought.
The squires had underestimated the fat man, he was not that unbeatable. His physique is actually not low, has reached 2.7, can be said to be a real hole in the strength. And although his face looks fine skin, but his hands and crotch are all calluses.
This is a real class, a serious knight - although it really does not look like very much.
"You just said that the heads of the various survivors, will have regular gatherings?"
A wise man indeed does not need to bother with too many words - after hearing this sentence, Mishan jerked his head up and opened his mouth with glowing eyes: "My lord! In the entire eastern part of the valley, there is no one who knows the various forces better than I do! The next gathering will be after the Autumn Planting Day - with me, you can rest assured!"
According to the progress of the territory, there are not many days left until the end of the autumn planting. But the truth is that in the other territories it wasn't very efficient, and most people hadn't even finished the autumn harvest yet, so the date given by Mishan was actually still some time away from now.
''Self-important, who said I was going... But that does speak to my heart.'' Looking at the very knowledgeable guy in front of him, George stroked the stubble on his chin and changed his mind...
''Dare to shoot the old man is also considered you have the guts, this arrow, let's put it in the book first...''
What Mi Shan had done had given him back his chance to live.
...
The forest, the direction of the coal mine.
"... One day, Lord Viscount's manor suddenly lost contact with the outside, and some people said that it had been taken over by evil demons - this was said by the people who had escaped back. But it is true that it has become a silent place of death, and few of those who went there were able to return." Mishan led the Lord's horse, suddenly pointed to an oak tree in front of him and said: "Lord, generally in this direction will pass this white oak tree, leaving a marker, can facilitate those old hunters to find the way - the trees in this mountain are the same, not familiar with the road, in this mist will easily go wrong."
George wagged his finger at Martin, and then an arrow with a colored cloth hanging on it was shot at the top of the tree.
"Go on."
"From time to time, people bypassed there to grab some 'wild wheat' further south, but it was all fought for with their lives... The situation there was very bad, and from what I heard from those who came back alive..." Speaking of this, there was some hesitation on Mishan's face: "They said... Said that there were demons there - it does seem a bit unbelievable, my lord. But there are indeed many burned traces in many places around that area."
Mishan finished with some apprehension: "Of course, this is just a rumor. Because the current situation there, no one knows. Since that Baron Daniel, who is loyal to the Viscount, united several minor lords and brought forces to break into that manor and never returned, no one has been there since - they are all the most loyal to Lord Viscount..."
"How many people went there in total?"
"One hundred and thirty-seven knights, with one thousand two hundred elite soldiers."
After hearing this, George pursed his lips and frowned.
The salt mine that he had been pining for was in the viscount's territory, and there was also the richest farmland in the entire Black Pearl Valley bottom over there.
