After discussing with Alleria, Carlos chatted with Turalyon for a while, and then felt that the troll mercenary group went to see the situation. "Legends", "Novel" |
The human soldiers who stayed behind in the North Fortress looked at the trolls taking a shower with doubts, concerns and curiosity.
"I'll go, it's so big*."
"How did these trolls grow so big without enough food?"
"It's just so so. When you come out to be a mercenary, you must choose someone who is strong."
"Back in the Hinterlands, I fought a lot of trolls. Being big was useful, but there was a huge difference between me and my lack of experience."
"How can I compare with His Majesty Carlos? He is a beacon of human society!"
"Pfft hahahaha."
"Smile, your majesty, you can laugh too?"
"Okay, I won't laugh, but who do you think is bigger, His Majesty's or the Troll's?"
"Well, it's hard to say, but I think mine is big."
"cut……"
After eavesdropping on the conversation of the soldiers onlookers with a dark look on his face, Carlos couldn't help but hum.
"His Majesty……."
"His Majesty……."
"How about these trolls, if they are just used as teammates."
Carlos asked as he walked up to the "big" brother.
"Your Majesty, he looks quite strong, but I don't know how disciplined he is. Personally, I don't care. Hundreds of trolls can't turn the world upside down, and they can't save the world." The soldier raised his hand and saluted, and then answered the king's question. Ask questions.
"Well, you continue to watch, we spent money to hire them to fight. We want to be picky."
Carlos spoke on the human side and patted the "big" brother on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't mind the soldiers looking strange.
Communication and communication don’t happen overnight. The views of generals or leaders will affect the views of those below.
Although soldiers can accept these trolls through military orders, they will eventually make human soldiers feel uncomfortable. It is better to downplay this impact and let it happen naturally.
So after discussing with Turalyon and his generals, Carlos came up with the theory that these trolls are new trolls who have been re-educated by human civilization. They are jungle combat experts hired by King Carlos. During the employment period. Any harm to these trolls is criminalized as theft of royal property.
This statement has improved the treatment of troll mercenaries. The lowered status made it less difficult for the soldiers to accept.
Oh, the king paid for it, no. Hired, something like a hunting dog, an expert in jungle warfare, it seems to make sense. Aren't trolls just a bunch of things that crawl into the mountains and forests?
Under the guidance of their officers, the soldiers learned that these trolls were mercenaries serving His Majesty the King, and they became less disgusted and hostile. It's rare to encounter a troll who fights without having to meet him, so you must take a good look at the strangeness.
And that's exactly what Carlos wanted.
Racial reconciliation can never be achieved with a piece of paper. Letting the two species meet without fighting is the first step. So far it seems to be working pretty well.
This bathing order was given by Hendrik. The knight believed that the troll was unclean and required the troll to be thoroughly washed before entering the camp. Ymir also agreed with this opinion. The cavalry general who had been responsible for guarding the fortress did not want the trolls to dirty the fortress that he had worked so hard to maintain, so the first order the troll mercenaries received was to chop down trees and boil water.
This group of troll mercenaries have long been prepared to be abused by humans, but for every point they pay, the compatriots of Zumashal will get an extra piece of food. These noble victims among the evil moss trolls have long been I was prepared to be trapped and killed by humans, just chopping wood and boiling water.
As a result, the water was boiled. Trolls discovered that humans actually asked themselves to take a bath?
Why do you need to heat hot water in the shower?
If you take a bath with boiling water, is this going to be a cooking troll?
The trolls are rioting!
But Aslan Qian was too lazy to explain to the troll. He immediately took off his weapons, put on his underwear, mixed some cold water and took a shower, then dressed completely and left. The whole process took less than five minutes.
The trolls were ashamed under the mocking eyes of humans.
It turns out you can still use hot water for bathing!
After a while, Aslan Qian sent someone to deliver a batch of soap and towels, and then motioned the soldiers who delivered them to take a bath as well, which was a demonstration for the trolls.
The trolls finally understood that humans do not eat troll meat, and it turns out that boiling hot water is really for bathing.
Well, looking at those naked humans who seem to be having a great time washing, let’s give it a try.
As a result, the rumor of the troll taking a bath spread like the trade wind, and a large number of human soldiers who had nothing to do with anything gathered around to watch the rumored troll take a bath.
In normal times, the generals would have brought the military judges over to catch the unlucky guy, but under the signal from the top brass, the officers chose to ignore the soldiers' heckling.
The Bad Moss Troll is one of the forest trolls. From birth, the skin of newborns will be infected and parasitized by a bryophyte, so the entire troll's skin appears green like plant leaves. Such a skin helps the troll hide its tracks in the forest. The huge flavor enhancement of trolls is not innate, but more due to living habits. As predators, the strong flavor helps trolls mark hunting areas.
After washing it off, the troll didn't actually stink.
"What do you think?"
As more and more generals gathered around him, Carlos asked the people around him.
"What a terrifying race. Look at these muscles. We were able to conquer Zumashal at such a small price, all thanks to your majesty's wisdom and martial prowess."
"A race born to fight, they didn't let down their vigilance at all even while taking a bath, which is scary. But we have His Majesty Carlos who has both wisdom and strength, and the trolls are not enough."
"Your Majesty is so talented, as long as..."
"Let's stop talking about flattery. What I'm asking is what the soldiers think of these trolls." Carlos decisively stopped the topic. What he wanted to hear was not the flattery of a bunch of rough guys.
"It's okay. His Majesty's plan is indeed good. He will treat the trolls favorably in terms of treatment and suppress the trolls in terms of status. The soldiers all know that these trolls are your majesty's private property. They are more curious than disgusted."
"So we got off to a good start with this, right?" Carlos felt very good after hearing this.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
At this moment, a troll who had finished washing suddenly left his tribe, put a small towel around his waist, and walked among a group of human soldiers.
Although the troll's back is hunched at any time and its shoulders sway when walking, the standing troll's body has nothing to do with its insignificance.
"Hey, my friend."
The troll spoke the two words in a perfect Alterac accent.
The human soldiers were startled at first, and then they realized that the battle was not lost, and they puffed up their chests one after another.
"Big man, what's going on?"
The troll scratched his head and thought about what to say.
"Can I share some cigarettes?"
"Does this troll smoke?"
"I also planned to tease them with tobacco leaves. It turns out they know how to smoke."
"Others just look stupid, but they are not really stupid."
After a few soldiers muttered, they gave one portion to the troll, and then the troll skillfully held it between his thick fingers, held it in his mouth, and leaned his big head over to borrow fire.
"Thanks."
With a cigarette in his mouth, the troll returned to his tribe.
"Hey, he still says thank you."
"Your Majesty bought some interesting things, a troll that can speak human language, haha."
In the laughter, the little accident ended successfully.
"Communication starts from the heart, remember."
Carlos said this with a satisfied smile. (To be continued)
