The captive young man named Drew came from Dorseo, one of the eight districts of Moorish Rome. He demanded the ransom of their group and all their belongings, and offered twenty Roman pounds of gold nuggets, the market price of which was two thousand gold coins.
The money was a lot, but Yamazaki was speechless. Who knew the gold content of ten Roman pounds of gold nuggets? It would be better to just give him one thousand gold coins.
The result of the negotiation was that the other party had no cash, only minerals, slaves, and livestock. As for the gems, they were left over from the Eastern Roman period. In short, the quantity of a single type was not enough.
If the price is discounted, 10,000 Roman pounds of wheat will cost one gold coin, 30,000 Roman pounds of barley will cost one gold coin, and iron ore will cost 1,000 Roman pounds of one gold coin, but they will not be sold.
50 sheep are worth one gold coin, 20 horses are worth one gold coin, 15 cattle are worth one gold coin, and ten war horses are worth one gold coin but they are not sold.
One gold coin for ten labor slaves over sixteen years old, regardless of gender, one gold coin for an unused female slave, five gold coins for an unused beauty slave, slave warriors and other special skill slaves ranging from five gold coins to ten gold coins.
Not for sale.
Special slaves are considered separately. For example, the beauty next to him comes from four generations of the same family. She gave birth at the age of 13, her great-grandmother is 48 years old, her grandmother is 35 years old, her grandchildren are 22 years old, and her great-grandchildren are 9 years old. She has been bathing with milk to keep her skin delicate.
, there are also many boudoir techniques and dance music techniques. If the four of them are auctioned, they can fetch more than 300 gold coins.
Yamazaki was interested in livestock, but the other party couldn't offer him 100,000 sheep. In short, all he could offer were gold nuggets.
There is no other way, just labor slaves, livestock, and food.
As a result, Yamazaki was hit because the opponent discovered that Yamazaki did not trust the gold content of gold nuggets, so he taught Yamazaki that he could use buoyancy to calculate the gold nuggets. If there was really a shortage, he could use gold coins to make up for it.
Mei Daizi collapsed laughing. As a college student at the end of the twentieth century, she was actually educated by people from the early sixth century...
Before evening, the other party's falcon flew away with the message. Yamazaki didn't understand whether he could read or understand what was specifically written.
Yamazaki saw through the golden eagle Nika that the falcon flew into the city of Dorseo.
The city of Dorseo was built in the Eastern Roman era. It is surrounded by mountains and lakes and has strong city walls. There are nearly 200,000 people living inside and outside the city, and there may be 300,000 people in the entire Dorseo area.
When the Vandal Alans swept across the southern coast of the Mediterranean, a considerable number of people fled inland. When the Eastern Roman Empire was still there, most of the city was populated by civilians.
After the disappearance of the Eastern Roman Empire, because there were more and more civilians who could not pay taxes, the proportion of slaves also increased, and now they account for the vast majority.
The golden eagle Nika hovered high in the sky for a while, and did not notice that the other party had taken any action until dark...
In the mountains.
After the other party's men disarmed and took off their armor, Yamazaki allowed them to move freely. Their horses were controlled, and it was impossible to escape.
The other party invited Yamazaki and Meidaizi to dinner, but Yamazaki refused. Now it is a hostile state, and safety comes first.
Looking at the other person from a distance, eating, enjoying singing and dancing, and playing with women, Yamazaki was a little uneasy. This guy acted too relaxed and casual, and he didn't want to be captured at all.
Yamazaki found an owl and asked it to take a look, and found that the opponent actually sent out a large number of troops, which looked like a standard army.
Yamazaki suddenly realized that the other party chose night to avoid the falcons in the sky. The other party probably planned to arrest the people after rescuing them, take away their weapons, and probably exchange them for the craftsmen who made the weapons.
After some estimation, the opponent sent out 3,000 men. More than 300 people could not defeat the 49 people, so they used 3,000 men, and the 49 men were exhausted to death.
Okay, let’s give it a try. More than 4,000 bison face an army of 3,000 people in the wilderness. Who is more powerful?
After dawn, the encounter started in the mountains. On one side were the men and horses who had been traveling all night, and on the other side were the bison who had arrived first.
It looks like humans are passing through the territory of the bison.
When the bison charged, it was too late for them to dodge. The bison pierced through the flank of the entire team, leaving a field of dead and wounded before leaving.
Everything seemed to be an accident, because their appearance stimulated the bison, and the bison ran away. They happened to block the bison's way...
On the other side, Yamazaki pretended to have received news from the Falcon, and set off with the whole team, escorting young Drew, taking all the opponent's horses, and soon the opponent's equipment.
He didn't care about the people, but just told them to wait where they were before leaving. Otherwise, if they were caught again, they would be excluded from the transaction, killed directly or made into slaves...
Twenty kilometers away, we encountered a battlefield.
There was a transfer horse, so Yamazaki and the others didn't care about the horse power and sprinted with all their strength, arriving in less than ten minutes.
Before the people arrived, the smell of blood arrived, and some wild beasts appeared in the mountains, such as lions, bears, wolves, etc., and vultures also appeared in the sky.
The arrival of Yamazaki and other people was already known through Falcon, but they only knew that there was a group of people coming.
The other party, with about 500 people, urgently organized a line of defense in an attempt to resist.
"We are the Gelong family of the Shaka tribe. Your people were chasing us in the mountains, but we were captured."
"We agreed to a deal with you to redeem people, but you came with a large army."
"Then, now, don't blame us for taking advantage of others' danger."
"Right now, you have two ways to go, kneel down and surrender, or be killed."
Flo's shout was answered, and a strong man came out. The equipment looked like a centurion's.
"I am Centurion Ariwalkum. I don't know what you are talking about. You have also seen that something unfortunate has happened to us. We just want to go home now."
Flo shouted: "That's impossible, you will be our spoils of war, but we will give you redemption treatment."
"Then there's nothing more to say." Ariwalkum tapped his shield to encourage morale, "Come on."
Flo led the slave guard to rush forward, and dismounted to fight on foot and on foot as close as a stone's throw away.
It’s not that the war horse is expensive, but that if the rider falls, there will be attrition.
There are already forty-nine of them, and missing one will increase the pressure on the others.
The opponent's shooting distance was more than 200 meters, and it took the slave guard more than 20 seconds to pass through.
In close combat, the slave guards did not have an advantage, as the opponent's number was still too large.
However, the opponent was tired and wounded, their morale was low, their weapons and equipment were inferior, and they were not organized.
Therefore, the target is Centurion Aliwalkum, the temporary commander.
Fro grabbed Ariwalkum's sword with his hand. To Ariwalkum's surprise, he cut off his shield with his sword and put the sword on his neck.
"Everyone stop it!"
Seeing that Ali Workum's sword didn't even scratch the metal mesh glove, the opponent's morale collapsed completely.
Weapons and equipment are not of the same level, so there is no way to fight this battle.
Some people ran away in the distance and wanted to leave on horseback.
With the cry of an eagle, all the moving horses ran away. It seemed that they were scared away, but in fact, Mei Daizi infected and controlled them with her spiritual will.
Ali Workum vented and shouted: "We want to be treated with dignity."
"Of course." Flo said.
"Then, I surrender." Ariwalkum let go of his sword bitterly and released his shield.
As Aliwalkum surrendered, others also dropped their weapons. …
Under the leadership of Ali Workum, Yamazaki found the body of their leader, Drew's father, which had been trampled by bison.
Flo searched the flesh and blood and found a small copper cylinder, which contained Drew's letter.
Translated by Ali Workum, it said that more than 300 people in Drew were captured by 49 people, but they discovered mass-produced high-quality weapons and asked his father to bring a hundred times more troops to respond. After completing the ransom transaction, he immediately took action to obtain
Production technology and craftsmen.
Yamazaki asked: "What do you want to say?"
Drew said: "If you lose, you lose. Please give me a decent way to die. It's best if you do it yourself. Don't let me die in the hands of slaves and defeated generals."
Yamazaki said: "Okay, I agree to your request." Then in Drew's disbelieving eyes, he chopped off his head with a sword.
"You want to plot against me, thinking that I am too young to dare to take action and leave you alive. But you are wrong. I have killed countless people."
Fro and other slaves didn't understand, but Aliwalkum and others believed it, because Yamazaki really didn't have any negative emotions when he killed Drew.
And Meidaizi knew that Yamazaki was talking about the previous life, when he used a nuclear bomb to blow up the underworld, awaken Erebus, and ultimately kill all living things on the earth...
