Chapter 55: Battle Customs
In the early morning, as soon as the sun rose, Tina arrived at the prison stone house.
Perling poked her head out of her sleeping bag and writhed uncomfortably. Her hands were still tied behind her back, and she felt numb as she slept like this all night, causing her blood to not circulate.
"Good morning!" Tina gently placed the wooden bowl on the ground, then reached out to help Perrin, who couldn't move, "Are you hungry?
"My hands are numb, can you help me untie the ropes?" said Perrin, "and I can't eat like this!"
"If you untie the rope, I won't be able to beat you. Tina shook her head slightly, "Why don't I feed you?"
"I've slept like this all night, and it's very uncomfortable!" Perrin's face was expressionless, "You untie the ropes and let me move." I will not attack you, swear in the name of the greatest god of war!"
"What if you run away?" Keane would be angry......" Tina shook her head worriedly.
"In the name of the god of war, I won't run either!" Perrin said, staring into Tina's eyes.
"This ......," Tina hesitated for a moment, "Alright!"
As a warrior, it is very solemn to swear in the name of the god of war. In general, not a single warrior would break such an oath!
After the rope was untied, Perrin did not attack Tina, who looked worried and alert, and she moved her hands until the numbness disappeared: "Much better!"
"Let's have breakfast!" Tina picked up the wooden bowl and handed it to Pellin.
"What is this?" asked Perling.
"Honey roast!" Tina smiled, "You've never tasted anything like you've ever tasted." ”
Perling was skeptical, reached for a piece and put it in her mouth. A strange sweet smell immediately fills the mouth and spreads to every cell in the body. Immediately after that, the aroma of barbecue also spread, which made her feel extremely happy.
She devoured one piece and immediately picked up the second. In the blink of an eye, all the honey roast meat in the entire wooden bowl was eaten cleanly. She looked at the slippery wooden bowl with lingering eyes, stretched out her pink fragrant tongue to lick off the remaining honey on her fingers, and then touched her bulging belly, and said to Tina expressionlessly: "It's delicious!"
"Isn't that right?" said Tina, who laughed happily when she saw that she liked it, "These honeys are hard-won treasures!"
"Tina!" As she spoke, a teenager exclaimed from outside the prison, "Why did you untie her? She's a town guard, it's too dangerous!
"Amber, don't worry!" Tina said as she looked back at him, "Perrin has no ill will. ”
"How do you know she's not lying to you?" Amber said anxiously, "what if she catches you and threatens Master Keane?"
"Amber, a man's eyes don't lie. Tina looked at Perrin and smiled, "Right?"
"Amber the traitor?" Perrin said with a blank face, looking up at the boy outside the bars.
"I'm not a traitor!" Amber shouted angrily, "Tina, Master Keane called you. Come out of here!"
"Okay!" Tina nodded, then looked at Perrin, "I'll go to Keane first, and I'll be wronged for you to stay here for a few more days!"
Perrin didn't speak, just nodded. She was expressionless the whole time, like a wooden man.
Tina came out and locked the door, and walked with Amber to her house with the wooden bowl.
Before dawn, Jia Zhengjin used the iron ingots smelted last night, plus wood and arrows, to build two arrow towers in each of the four directions of the base. And a low layer of stone bricks was built on the periphery. This project alone is tiring enough for him to choke, and to build the city wall high on the periphery, I am afraid it will not be a day or two to succeed!
Whether it is in the past life or in the current world, it is not easy for one person to build a city wall. Even if it is just a small inner city wall, it takes hundreds or even thousands of manpower to build. Jia Zhengjin used the golden finger alone to do the work of thousands of people, of course, it was very tiring!
After being tired, I needed to relax properly, so I immediately called Tina and Wolf after breakfast, and prepared to ride a triceratops together to explore the forest area near the base to understand what otherworldly biological groups exist in this area, whether there are more edible wild fruit resources, and the specific distribution of mineral vein resources.
Amber wanted to go along, but was told by his father, Harlem Sr., to work together to clear the farmland.
Jia Zhengjin brought twenty-five kobold crossbowmen and one kobold patrolman, and the remaining twenty-five were in charge of guarding the base under the command of the kobold leader. With them in place, along with the eight arrow towers around them, even a surprise attack would ensure a smooth retreat and reunification with Tina's parents.
As she was ready to set off, Perling in the prison's stone house shouted a few words.
"What did she say?" Jia Zhengjin looked at Tina with a confused expression.
Tina used unfamiliar Chinese and gestures to paraphrase Perrin's meaning.
Jia Zhengjin finally understood that this female warrior, who seemed to have a frozen expression and no emotion on her face from beginning to end, did not like to be held in prison as a prisoner of war, so she asked to use the fighting customs that prevailed in this world to fight for freedom.
If the female warrior Perin wins, according to the rules of battle customs, she will be freed from the treatment of prisoners, and Jia Zhengjin must unconditionally release her and let her go; if Perin is defeated, she can only be killed, co-opted, and even sold as goods by the victorious side, without any complaints! This barbaric battle custom has been handed down since ancient times, but it is strictly observed by all warriors who seek strength.
As the party initiating the proposal, she will not have the right to choose the object of the duel, nor will she have the right to determine the form of the duel. The only thing that can be done is to do your best to defeat the battle form and battle objectives set by the receiving side!
"Is this kind of challenge popular here?" Jia Zhengjin asked Tina, speaking with a gesture.
"Warriors with great self-esteem will make such a request for freedom under certain circumstances! They believe in the justice of the god of war. Tina also explained in rusty Chinese and gestures, "Therefore, various countries have also given birth to gladiatorial competitions with imprisoned warriors who worship the god of war, especially for the powerful to watch and amuse!"
"Then what should I do?" Jia Zhengjin asked.
"You can't say no to such a challenge!" Tina explained, "unless you throw in the towel and let the opponent automatically win." But doing so would be detrimental to your reputation!"
"In other words, I have to accept such a challenge when she proposes it?" Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment, "Anyway, being idle is idle, I can formulate the person to fight and formulate the way to fight, right? Worf, you fight her!"
