Chapter 128: The Northland Barbarians Who Get Beaten Up Once a Day
In fact, Owen did a good job. It should be said that his lack of ambition and his actions of holding back made him appear more like a lucky person, or a puppet.
Similar puppets are commonly used by great nobles and royalty because, with their size, it’s impossible for them to openly tear their faces apart. Once a real fight starts, the cost is too high, and it’s easy to lose control. No one can bear the consequences, not even the Empire. So puppet pawns have become their main means of fighting.
Because even if they lose, they only lose a pawn and the money and resources invested, which is not a serious injury. Therefore, it gradually becomes the mainstream rule of the game.
It’s normal to place pieces in the Northland during this period because everyone can see the development potential of the Northland. Although it’s a bit early now, there’s nothing wrong with starting a few years earlier to seize the opportunity. So the rapid development of the Hydra family has not attracted much attention, because there are too many people who are capable of doing it.
In addition, it’s immoral to interrupt other people’s placement of pieces. If you want to interrupt, you can also place your own pieces and use pieces to deal with pieces.
In short, it’s okay to play chess to determine the winner, but directly reaching out to interfere is disrespectful.
Owen didn’t mean to, but he happened to meet certain unspoken rules and created a mysterious protective umbrella for himself. So before anyone figured out his details, no big shot would directly take action.
These are things that need to be faced in the future. Who knows how powerful Owen will be at that time, so let’s put it aside for now.
However, Maya’s strategy solved the threat of the Northland barbarians, but how to deal with it next was a problem.
Hundreds of strong Northland barbarian warriors are unstable factors that can cause riots at any time.
“We must find something for them to do. Call all the Teutonic Knights to me.” Maya said to Ram beside her.
Ram, who had been Maya’s assistant, nodded and immediately went out to call all the Teutonic Knights guarding outside.
“The territory has captured hundreds of Northland barbarian warriors. Now it’s time to let them know whose fist is the biggest and hardest. So go and show your strength to the fullest and make those Northland barbarians behave themselves.” Maya looked at the ten steel cans in front of her and nodded with satisfaction.
The Teutonic Knights, who received the order, went to the barracks without hesitation. Hundreds of Northland barbarians were imprisoned here. At this time, there were fully armed soldiers on the wooden wall and elite cavalry waiting in formation outside the barracks. If these Northland barbarians dared to riot, they would face a bloodbath.
The Teutonic Knights, who only knew how to carry out orders, came to the barracks, put down their weapons, took off their armor, and revealed their strong bodies that were several times larger than the Northland barbarians, which made the Northland barbarians, who were staring at them with angry eyes, a little shocked for a moment.
Northland barbarians are barbaric and unreasonable, but they believe in strength. In other words, whoever has the bigger fist is right.
The Teutonic Knights randomly released ten Northland barbarians, and then beat them up. One person beat ten, one hundred a day. They didn’t talk nonsense, just beat them up and left.
Next, the Northland barbarians were not allowed to go out, and they had three meals a day. One hundred of them were beaten up every day. However, after three or five days, they were all beaten up, and now they were in the second round, which made them depressed.
It’s a delightful battle only when both sides are evenly matched. There’s no fun in fighting if you’re just beaten up. What makes them speechless the most is that they can’t even win.
Now they have one hundred people fighting ten, but they still can’t escape the fate of being beaten up.
This is not surprising. Every Teutonic Knight is a warrior at the limit of human beings. Their bodies have been tempered to the extreme. Beating up Northland barbarians is like college students bullying elementary school students. Although they can’t guarantee that they won’t get hurt, they can’t possibly lose, especially when both sides are bare-handed. Whoever has greater strength and endurance will be the last one standing.
Now the Teutonic Knights are having a good time. Although they have suffered a lot of flesh wounds, they feel very happy.
The Teutonic Knights are natural weapons. The battlefield is their paradise. However, after being summoned, they are doing the work of security guards. Although they are not unwilling to do so, after all, guarding the master is the supreme glory, they just feel that their muscles and bones are a little rusty. So they are not only willing to carry out Maya’s orders, but also very happy.
Unfortunately, the Northland barbarians are not stupid. They can’t win the fight, and they can’t keep getting beaten up. So they racked their brains and came up with a way. They want to talk.
Sure enough, all those things about not negotiating, dying rather than surrendering, and fighting to the end are all fake. That’s because they haven’t been beaten enough. If they’re beaten enough, even an iron rod will become soft.
But what to do next? Maya didn’t have any good ideas, so she had to press a button.
Owen, who was testing the Top Hat puppet and drawing the design of the new puppet, was suddenly stunned because he had said before that he should not be disturbed unless it was very important. And what could make Maya violate his order? Obviously, something important happened in the territory. He immediately thought of the Northland barbarians, so he simply packed up his things and came to the Town Center through the fireplace.
“It’s really a troublesome matter.” Owen, who hadn’t recovered yet, put his legs on the desk, squinted his eyes, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and whispered.
Before, there were more than a thousand people in the Nomad Tribe and Mara Town. Even if he worked overtime day and night, he only converted the captured Horse Bandits and a small part of the residents of Mara Town. Most of the unconverted nomads were still grazing around the territory. Anyway, he was not afraid that they would run away.
In this way, he could take the opportunity to let them get familiar with the life here and reduce the difficulty of conversion. After all, only when they voluntarily accept his rule can the Town Center convert them.
The problem is that this method is not suitable for the Northland barbarian tribe.
The Northland barbarians and the humans of the Empire are sworn enemies, with a blood feud that cannot be described in ten days and ten nights. Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly a dream to want them to willingly accept the rule of the territory.
But nothing is absolute. Maya’s method is very good.
Aren’t the Northland barbarians barbaric? Don’t they like to use their fists? Then let them fight. Whoever falls down is the grandson.
Now that the Northland barbarians are willing to talk, it’s a good start, but it’s not enough.
“Continue to fight for ten rounds. As for the two Northland barbarian tribes, let Bella try to capture them alive.” Owen sighed and said, obviously the nearly two thousand people waiting to be converted brought him great pressure.
But Owen didn’t know how to break through the upper limit of the progress value, so he could only wait.
When the old and young of the two Northland barbarian tribes were escorted back to the territory, the Northland barbarian warriors who were still holding on immediately lost their spirits.
They were not afraid of being defeated. Even if they were driven to the far north by the Imperial Border Army, the Northland barbarians were still unconvinced. But losing a battle of one hundred against ten did make them feel frustrated.
There were no tricks, no conspiracies, and no reliance on equipment. They fought bare-handed, fist to flesh, which made them speechless in defeat.
Therefore, after the Teutonic Knights came forward to recruit them to form a heavy infantry battalion, the Northland barbarian warriors hesitated for a moment and agreed because it was not shameful.
It’s really uncomfortable to get COVID-19. I’ve been having a fever, my whole body aches and I’m weak, and my throat feels like I’ve swallowed charcoal. It hurts to even drink water. You must take good precautions and don’t be careless.
