Chapter 1458: Night Escape

Seeing this, several people hurriedly went over to catch the pigeons. The pigeons were not too afraid of them, at most moving a few steps to dodge their hands. Very quickly, all dozen or so pigeons were captured, and after removing the Bamboo Tube from each of their legs one by one, they were placed into a cage.

"They are all your pigeons; this is not a good thing," Hun said, shaking his head as he spoke.

Everyone was worried, because this meant that if there was a problem with the Western Development Group's pigeons, then the pigeons in all of Huaxia might have problems, and would the pigeons taken to the Shennong Clan Battlefield also have problems? How would Huaxia communicate with each other from such a far place then?

But if it was just this, the short-term difficulty of the Western Development Group should be solvable, because Hun's pigeons were sent out successfully; the pigeons he had sent out before should all be fine and should have arrived in Huaxia long ago, and Wang Ye should have already seen them.

Then the reinforcements should also be on the way, so there was no need to be afraid even if the Wulenge Tribe chased them over now. The ones who should be afraid were the people of the Wulenge Tribe; if they dared to come, they had to be prepared not to return. This was not a dense forest; on the grassland, Cavalry could exert the greatest effect.

Even if the Huaxia team didn't have many Cavalry this time, it didn't matter; they could still scrape together a ten-man Cavalry team here, and charging into battle would be no problem.

The things to worry about had already been worried about, and as for how to deal with it, that would depend on Huaxia City, and whether Wang Ye had any good solutions. They also didn't need to rush to use beacon fires to recall the herdsmen; the possibility of reinforcements arriving was higher than the possibility of the Wulenge Tribe coming.

Night fell, and everything began to become quiet. On the grassland, there were only the sounds of cattle from unknown distances; you couldn't tell if the mooing was right beside you or far away. Apart from this sound, there was only the sound of grasshoppers, though it was a bit quieter than in the forest.

There was no firelight, only faint moonlight. Bosa saw that the time was ripe and believed that everyone in Huaxia should be fast asleep, so he urged his tribesmen who were pretending to sleep to get up quickly and prepare to climb over the fence to get out.

Bosa was quite clever; naturally, he would not be the first to climb out. Whether it was safe outside or not, he certainly had to let his tribesmen go and test it first to know, not to mention that there were a few wolves outside that looked quite fierce. If he were bitten, he probably wouldn't have the ability to escape, so it was better to let his tribesmen go and control them first.

The guards, knowing that these savages might escape tonight, really didn't sleep, but were playing cards in the house. Mahjong tiles made of wood were their greatest and favorite form of entertainment right now.

The dim Oil Lamp was only enough to barely light the room, and the Glass was covered with animal skin curtains so that the light inside could not be seen from the outside. There was always a loser taking turns watching outside at the window.

They had taken this job entirely by accident. Who would have thought that a sheep pen would one day hold savages? Ever since the sheep flocks were taken outside to graze, this house was rarely used because there was nothing to watch, so why use it? When Winter arrived and the sheep pen couldn't go out to graze and could only be fed dry grass, this house had to be watched Twenty-Four Hours a day.

"Hey, hey, hey, they seem to have started moving, they've started moving!" the person lying on the window beckoned.

Several people quickly messed up the Mahjong table, and the onlookers around also quickly retreated. Only the person who had the best hand complained: "No, my Dragon Seven Pairs! I was about to win, oh!"

"Win what win, where did you get Dragon Seven Pairs? Hurry up and prepare to catch them. If you let them run away, don't even think about playing cards for the rest of our lives."

Everyone hurriedly grabbed their bows and took their arrows, opened the door quietly, and slipped out slowly. In their hands, they held Torches soaked in oil, which they usually couldn't bear to light; as long as they encountered a flame, they would immediately ignite. But Soybean Oil was still very precious in the Western Development Group, so they wouldn't use it unless it was a special situation, and they had to cover it to extinguish it immediately after use to save it for next time.

Under Bosa's command, some people had already climbed onto the fence, and a few dogs also stood up, staring at the fence, but those savages were not afraid and continued to climb on their own.

"Woof! Wooooooo-woof!" The dogs suddenly started barking loudly, which scared the savages, and they hurriedly accelerated their climbing. Even Bosa hurriedly started to climb; if he didn't climb now, it would probably be too late. Those Huaxia people would definitely be woken up by the barking of these wolves.

But before they could climb to the top, firelight suddenly lit up opposite them, and a dozen or so Huaxia people, holding Bow and Arrow, were already aiming at them.

One of them who could speak the Wulenge language shouted: "You bunch of damn savages, Slaves, are you preparing to escape now?"

"If you hurry back to me now, I can spare you; otherwise, you might lose your lives tonight."

Bosa shouted: "Don't listen to them, they have few people and we have many, run, climb!"

A Huaxia Soldier asked in confusion: "Lao Ba, what were you chattering about just now, and what are they shouting about?"

"They said they have few people and we have many, don't climb, hurry up and climb, that's all it means."

"Heh, they really think they're something, let me do something to scare them." These Huaxia Soldiers were not afraid at all. Although they were not regular troops, they had received training here in the Western Development Group. The Weapon they carried this year was not much different from what was issued to the Huaxia City army, and they had to be proficient with the Bow and Arrow, with their accuracy getting better and better.

He aimed at the savage who had climbed the highest and shot an arrow, hitting him right in the shoulder. He screamed and fell down, which frightened the savages and slowed their speed.

"Don't think about running. This is Huaxia; no matter where you run, you won't get away. You don't even have a stick on you, how can you fight us? All of you go back obediently, so you can all live, otherwise, it's death."

Bosa was still inciting them: "Don't listen to them, they can't kill as fast as we can run, hurry up and climb!"

But this time, before he could successfully incite them, Bosa screamed and fell to the ground, because everyone discovered that this person who was the best at inciting was definitely the biggest troublemaker, so they decided to deal with him first.

As for killing Slaves, they were not afraid at all. There was no information they wanted left in the mouths of these savages. They were just Slaves waiting to work, and since they wanted to cause trouble, then killing them was fine, it didn't matter.
