Chapter 72 Black Skull's Ambition
"How many casualties are there on our side?" Chi Nan hadn't looked too carefully before.
Yitui immediately said: "Basically there are no casualties. Only two of our guys were unlucky and were injured by the opponent's arrows. It's not serious. They look alive and kicking."
"Is that so? It seems that the problem of soldiers' defense also needs to be solved." Chi Nan was glad that these bandits didn't have strong bows in their hands, otherwise a few of his soldiers might die. He only has 30 soldiers now, and Chi Nan would feel extremely distressed if one of them died.
"Several of my workers were injured, but they were not serious." Lao Muka said.
Chi Nan said quickly: "Today, all the people will get double the wages, and the injured ones will get double as compensation."
"Sir, there is no need at all. It is their responsibility to fight for the territory."
Chi Nan waved his hand: "As long as they work for me, I will not treat them unfairly. It is indeed their responsibility to pay for the territory, but they cannot pay for nothing. Okay, it's settled."
Chi Nan knew that if he wanted to gather people's hearts around him, he must not be stingy.
Seeing that Chi Nan had decided, Lao Muka had no choice but to agree. But at the same time, Lao Muka himself did not realize that he had more approval of Chi Nan in his heart. Maybe the lady's choice was not wrong.
"Anything else to say?" Chi Nan looked at the two people: "Since there is no more, then speed up and build the city wall as soon as possible. The next time, the enemy may not be so simple."
Chi Nan left here, and he still had to improve his pea cannon. The weapon he made for the first time was a huge success, which made Chi Nan very proud. It seems that he is indeed a genius. It's a pity that my plants can't fight spontaneously. It would be better if they could fight automatically.
"I'm such a fool. If I prepared some seeds and sprinkled them on the road at the beginning, I wouldn't let those robbers escape."
Suddenly, Chi Nan looked at the road and slapped his head hard. How could he forget his own ability? The seeds injected with magic power do not need to pay extra magic power to stimulate them.
If he had planted some mouse grass on the road before and used ordinary stimulation, how could those robbers escape? Robbers, Chi Nan will not let them go to protect the territory now.
Forget it, remember this lesson in the future, and never make such a mistake next time.
Just when Chi Nan and his team were summarizing their combat experience, the robbers had already fled far away from this place. Many of the robbers who were frightened by the new weapons fled in panic and didn't know where they ran to.
As a result, when the black skeleton ran to the previous gathering place, not many people could return here. "Are they all here? Are there only a few of us left?" The black skeleton was very depressed.
At this moment, there were less than 30 people who could come here. Most of them died in front of the fortress, and the rest didn't know where they ran to. The results of my many years of hard work were all wasted in an instant.
"Boss Black Skull, you tell me what to do about this matter. We brothers listened to you and came to this place with you. We thought we could occupy a place and strive for development, but in the end, it turned out like this. You must give us brothers an explanation." A young man said loudly.
"That's right, this time it's all your fault, boss."
Black Skull narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people. The first one to speak was a small bandit group that he had pulled here. In this battle, these guys were at the back at the beginning, so the losses were much less.
Among the people present, one-third were from this small bandit group. The other small bandit groups have been completely destroyed or fled. The rest are basically his men.
The one who spoke later was a very prestigious guy in his team. Judging from his appearance, he probably wanted to seize power. At this time, they are still thinking about fighting for power.
Black Skull did not explain anything, but said calmly: "Our goal is Hongshaling. As long as we can occupy Hongshaling, no matter how much loss we suffer, it is worth it."
"What the boss said is right, but the question is, how can we capture Hongshaling? I really don't want to face that kind of weapon." Many people collapsed, and some people hugged their heads, trembling, and squatted on the ground.
In this state, let alone combat effectiveness, even if the people of Hongshaling want to catch them now, they will not resist.
"Boss Black Skull, we all believe in you, but you can't fool us. In our current state, do we still have a chance to attack Hongshaling?" Another bandit leader said loudly. He has a lot of people under his command now, at least in this team, so he is not afraid of Black Skull at all.
If it weren't for the huge loss this time, he was angry, but he didn't dare to leave here with a few people. I'm afraid he would have left long ago. They all knew that only by uniting together can they survive.
The black skeleton narrowed his eyes: "We can't do it ourselves, but what about the wild orcs? Now that I think about it, the power of that weapon can only deal with us who have no armor. The skin of the wild orcs is very hard, and this weapon can't deal with it at all. On the contrary, we have a way to deal with the wild orcs."
"Wild orcs? Are you trying to attract wild orcs to attack Hongshaling? But the strength of the wild orcs is not weak. If they kill all the people in Hongshaling, what should we do?"
The black skeleton looked proud: "How can we kill them all? Those guys are just for food. It doesn't matter as long as we can get rid of the wild orcs. Besides, don't we still have their lord? This can also test the strength of the lord of Hongshaling. As long as we can capture Hongshaling and get that kind of weapon, who will be our opponent in the future?"
"Yes, why didn't I think of it? If we get that kind of weapon, we will not be without the ability to fight even if we go to war with the Kingdom of Rusya in the future." That kind of weapon is really deeply rooted in people's hearts.
What they don't know is that that kind of weapon is not made at all, but a kind of plant. Black Skull thought it was an alchemical weapon, which was not something that ordinary people could make. He just wanted to use this method to temporarily appease his subordinates.
