Chapter 80: Ambition and Desire (II)
Outside the most damaged section of the wall, a row of corpses lay neatly arranged. Actually, there weren't many, and there were only six of them, but there were a pile of guns and ammunition next to them.
Ke Qiman looked at the row of corpses on the ground and looked up and said, "Is there only these six?" β
"It's these six, which the other party didn't have time to take away." Yugovich, who was beside me, said, "You should all know that the Count's men always take the bodies of the dead with them. β
Fastich nodded, "This is indeed a very significant characteristic of the Earl, which is why he can hire a lot of good people, the money is more than one reason, and this taking their bodies home is another important reason." β
Keqiman looked at Fastich, "Then you mean that the Earl must have been unable to take care of these corpses before he had time to take them?" β
"It's our blow! A heavy blow. Changes? What could have changed? Where did Miriqi take someone? Actually, I don't really believe how many of them there are. We fought fiercely with the Count until the wee hours of the morning. You should know very well that these weapons, these mortars, you will never say that they are our own, you must know that this Mr. Fastich has not left us anything good, and Ivanovich's belongings have been lost in Kosovo. Milk said, pointing to the weapons.
These words made Fastic look embarrassed, and Keqiman frowned and looked at the weapons and equipment again. After a moment, he looked up and said, "I still want to ask, are you resisting the opponent's attack in the garrison?" β
He had already spoken, but this time he was saying to me, "Gather the people together." Everyone is almost rested, and it should be our turn to attack. β
I knew that Milk was going to start playing against me, and I frowned and said, "Why are you going again?" Didn't you just say that there weren't many people in Milic? Are we all so many people going to die? β
Milk glanced at Keqiman and said to me, "What if Millich really gathers a lot of people?" If the Earl can hire such a man, it must be rich, and the place must be much better than this broken place, why don't you go now and wait for him to slow down and pant out? That's looking for death. β
"What in case? I also said that MiriΔ had probably run home with someone and was sleeping. And what if you take people out of here? Don't want home? I asked.
"Anyway, we have to check it out. This is a rare opportunity. The Earl's men must have rushed back after a night of collapse, and now they will definitely be able to get a bargain in the past. I can assure you that I'll take a look before I decide if I do it. β
"That's not going to work either. We should be here now, it's been ruined like this. If you don't fix it, how can you live there? I spoke.
And just as Milk was about to speak, Ke Qiman interjected again: "The two... Can you answer my question first? β
Milk and I ignored him and continued to argue, and Milk then said, "These boys are soldiers, not construction workers, and even if they stay and don't go anywhere, will they repair the house?" This is an opportunity! Not only did we strike them last night, did you forget the night we went to reinforce Fastich and Jojic outside that abandoned barracks when we first arrived? We've killed quite a few of the Earl's men as well. It stands to reason that they should have lost a lot of men lately, and I think it should be an opportunity now, at least a chance to get revenge on the Count. β
As Milk spoke, I looked at Yugovich and said, "That uncle." I'm going to have a good talk with Milk. Take them around and tell us about last night. I said as I pulled Milk past him to a room, and Milk was still struggling as I pulled him, "Where are you going to pull me to, we should hurry up and organize the staff now, you are wasting your time!" Waste of time, you understand? β
"I don't understand! What time is wasted? Even if you have to do anything, you have to find Milic and ask about the situation, don't you? I quickly pulled Milk into the walled barracks, and I continued to pretend to shout, "We have to be careful, we don't have much money." β
Milk took out a cigarette and lit it, took a hard breath, and shouted while spitting the cigarette: "It's because of the small capital that I have to seize the opportunity to turn it over." Do you give up the opportunity to someone else? β
I smoked one of Milk's cigarettes and said, "Can you speak quietly?" After saying that, I changed the French I learned with Milk in Chechnya and lowered my voice: "You can be an actor." It's really good. β
Milk smiled and said, "Then you need to talk about it?" Italian art is very strong. β
I picked up my cigarette and looked out through the broken walls, and Yugovich seemed to have left with the men, probably in the direction of taking them to see where Milk and the Count were dealing.
"Do you think they can believe it?" Milk asked.
I smiled and said, "It's like you just got it, you have to check it out anyway." β
Milk laughed when I said this, "I think they're going to attack the Earl's territory tentatively anyway when they do enter the Earl's territory." β
"Of course. They brought so many people? And you can also continue to let the rest of the people come over. As long as they enter the Earl's territory at this moment, it is tantamount to a war, and it should be said that the nature is even worse, and it is to take advantage of the fire to rob. Whether they fight or not, the Count will put them all on the blacklist. Maybe the Earl will strike first before they can do it. I said.
"Now it's up to them to see if they go." Milk said.
I thought for a moment and said, "Most of them will go back." Why else are they hanging around here? To look at this, to see that, to ask questions. Do you think they're here to be journalists? They were getting information to estimate the Count's current condition. And that Fastic, didn't you pay attention to his expression? He was excited at the mention of beating the Earl, and it seemed that he still had a grudge against the Earl's sudden attack on him, and was always looking for an opportunity to take revenge. β
"That's right. But that Ke Qiman is not easy to deceive. He seemed to be very cautious about whether or not to beat the Count. Milk said.
"It's hard to deceive. But Kodchiman is an ambitious man, as can be seen from the fact that he quickly squeezed out Petkovic to suppress the joint Fastich and Jojic completely overthrew Kostic. And precisely because he was an ambitious man, the more cautious he was at the moment, the more it showed that he had an extremely strong desire for the Earl's fat body. I said.
Milk nodded as he smoked his cigarette, "Okay." I hope they will do what you, the guerrillas, say. So what are we going to do next? Do you sit here and watch as an audience, or do you do something else? β
"Of course we have something to do. Personnel rest, no repairs here? What's more important is the abandoned barracks, which are very important and can save lives at critical moments. I said.
"Okay. It looks like he's really going to be a construction worker. Milk said as he took a few puffs of his cigarette and tossed the cigarette butt, "What are we going to say when the gang comes back in a minute?" β
"In this case, you will take the Serbs we have brought with you to the Count in a moment. Actually, I'd like to know what happened to the Count. But don't chase too quickly, and I'm worried that Milic and they ran too fast, and didn't cause any damage to the Earl, who was angry and chased after him. If that happens, we'd better find out sooner. I said.
Milk smiled and said, "I think you have to fool them." β
I nodded, "Of course." They really saved us a lot in the past. Let's go, let's organize the people, remember that you are to continue to behave very dissatisfied, and to be anxious to go to the Earl. β
"No problem. Look at me. Milk said and walked out of the barracks, and then shouted at the oil bottle with a depressed and angry face: "The oil bottle! Where the hell did you go? β
Listening to the tone, the oil bottle looked at me in surprise, and then at me, I didn't say anything with a blank face, and I noticed that there was a man standing by the fence with Kochiman and FastiΔ, who was looking at us at the moment.
"Gather the people we brought. Come with me to the Earl. Milk looked at me angrily after speaking, "Some people are just careful, and they don't know if they miss the opportunity." After speaking, he looked at the oil bottle again, "Hurry up!" Grab your weapons and ammunition and let's go! β
The oil bottle quickly gathered the men in agreement, and then Milk led the group out of the station and headed west. The man standing by the wall immediately left the wall after seeing Milk lead the team away, presumably to find Kelkeman and them.
About a dozen minutes later, the old guy Jugovic returned with Kochiman and Fastich. Fastich looked excited, while Keqiman remained calmer. After seeing me, Keqiman spoke: "Fastich and I are ready to set off to attack the Count. β
"Huh?" I pretended to be surprised, "I think everyone should calm down and discuss it." The Count is not easy to deal with, and his men are quite warlike. β
Fastich looked at me and said, "We know that. But even if we don't fight now, we will still fight the Earl in the future. Since he has lost a lot now, it just happens to be an opportunity. β
Ke Qiman nodded and said, "That's right." We've reached out to Jojic and asked him to bring someone to support us. This time we must let the Count know that we are powerful. β
"Okay." I let out a long sigh, "But I would advise you to be cautious. β
"Thank you for your advice." Ke Qiman smiled, "It's not too early. We've got to go. β
"Okay. I have a request. That's my companion, and Milk is already on the way. I hope you both can help me then. I said.
Fastich was obviously in a hurry to take people to attack the Count, and as he went, he said, "No problem. Our people will take care of them. β
In a few moments, the men of the two men passed down the road in front of the station, heading west. I looked at the departing team, shook my head, and said to Yugovich, who was also watching beside me, "I hope they don't fall into the hands of the Count." Uncle, sometimes this ambitious person is also quite easy to fool. β
The old guy sneered and said, "Of course, because they are not only ambitious but also greedy. β
