The total number of villagers still alive in Qina Village is only about a hundred.

Therefore, the team composed of villagers from Qina Village was not long.

Soon, the figures of Ogata and Omachi at the end of the team completely disappeared from the sight of Skulucci and others.

"Ha..." Skulucci yawned greatly, and then waved his hands to Vasily and others behind him, "Guys, go back. It's almost time for us to prepare to leave."

"Skullucci, when do you plan to leave?" Aiyaka asked Skulucci at the side.

Ayaka, who had a fairly good personal relationship with Skulucci, knew that Skulucci planned to join his boss for a while.

"It's not confirmed yet." Skulucci scratched his red hair, "We'll leave in about a few days. What about you? When do you plan to return to Kuma Village?"

"When can I return to Kuma Village?" Aiyaka smiled bitterly, "Qina Village has now become an empty village."

Aiyaka Niutou looked towards Qina Village, where only a few empty houses were left.

"What am I doing in this village where there's not even a soul left?"

"I will leave back to Kuma Village today."

"Let's go now. We'll probably be back in the village by evening."

"That's right..." Scrooge grinned, "Then say hello to the villagers of Kuma Village for me."

After that, Skulucci led Vasili and others behind him towards their camp.

While walking towards his camp with his back turned to Ayaka, Skulucci did not forget to wave to Ayaka behind him.

"Aiyaka, see you later if we have chance."

…

…

As soon as Skulucci threw Aiyaka behind him, Vasili, who was walking behind him, let out a long sigh:

"Alas... Majima Goro left so quickly... I hoped he could stay with us for a little longer..."

"What?" Scrooge asked, "Is your relationship with Majima Goro so good?"

"It's not that our relationship is very close. I just hope that Majima Goro can stay with us for a little longer because of...some reasons..."

If this topic were discussed further, Skulucci and the others might learn that Vasili had been hiding his habit and did not want people around him to know about it, so he took the initiative to change the topic:

"That's right, boss."

"Since we are going to meet up with Boss Alexander later, then...Boss, have you prepared any gifts for Boss Alexander?"

"Of course!" Skulucci said loudly, "I have already prepared the gift for Boss Alexander."

After saying that, Scrooge put his hand into his arms and took out something from his arms.

"Is this...a knife?" Vasili asked.

"Yeah. In the language of the Ainu people, this thing is called 'Tashiro', which can be understood as the mountain sword of the Ainu people."

Scrooge unsheathed his sword and exposed it to the sunlight, the blade flashing with sharp cold light.

"I got it in exchange for good wine from a certain village we passed."

"Boss Alexander, he should like it."

"Can I see it?" Vasili asked.

"take it."

After saying that, Skulucci sheathed the mountain sword and threw it to Vasily behind him.

Vasili looked at the mountain knife carefully.

Although the production level of the blade is far inferior to that of the Chasik saber of the Cossacks, its handle and scabbard are very beautifully carved with patterns such as flowers and birds.

"It's a very beautiful knife... It is indeed something that Mr. Alexander will like." Vasili returned the mountain knife to Skulucci.

"Boss Alexander's habit of collecting weapons is really fucking troublesome." Skulucci put on a tired expression, "What's even more damning troublesome is that if you don't give him frequent gifts, he will give them

Who wears small shoes?"

Skulucci is a person who can achieve "flexible switching of appearances".

Only in front of his subordinates will he show his "rude" side.

In front of other people, he will behave extremely gentlemanly.

Scrooge and his eldest brother, Alexander, had no other hobbies.

His only hobby is collecting weapons.

That kind of exotic weapon was Alexander's favorite.

It's just that he likes to collect weapons. What's difficult is that Alexander is a person who likes to use power for personal gain.

He likes to let the people below him help collect weapons for him.

He once told his subordinates Skulucci and others in disguise to remember Duoduo's "offerings" in the future.

All subordinates who "provide" weapons of sufficient quantity and quality will receive special favor from Alexander.

As for those subordinates who do not "come forward", they will be ignored by Alexander.

Scrooge, who didn't want to be seen as a shoestring, could only "provide" some weapons to Alexander from time to time.

Skulucci has not been working under Alexander for a long time. He has only worked under Alexander for more than a year.

Because he was particularly dissatisfied and fed up with Alexander's behavior of seeking power for personal gain, Skulucci had recently begun to think about how to leave Alexander's service.

"Speaking of which..." Vasili said, "I heard that Boss Alexander recently spent a lot of money to get a set of Japanese armor. Is this true?"

"Yes. It's true." Skulucci raised his right little finger and picked out his ears. "Alexander used 10 horses to buy a set of horses from a merchant who had been secretly doing business with us Cossacks.

Japanese armor.”

"Ten horses for a set of armor." Vasily twitched the corner of his mouth.

Although they on the continent of Europa have now completely entered the "firearms age", cavalry still plays a huge role on the battlefield.

The status of the cavalry has not been reduced, but has been improved.

The high status of cavalry in the military also makes war horse resources a very important strategic resource.

10 horses and 10 Don hippos, this is not a small number.

"Is this armor made of gold?" Vasily muttered.

"I heard it's a set of Nanman carcasses of very fine quality."

"Nanbarbarian carcass?" Vasili asked in return.

"It is a special type of armor from Japan. Its characteristic is that it has absorbed our European plate armor production technology. It is a special type of armor that has absorbed the characteristics of plate armor and Japanese local armor."

"It is said that the protective power is amazing."

"Boss Alexander, I have never seen this set of Southern Barbarian harems that he exchanged for 10 horses this time."

"Boss Alexander showed off his armor at a party before, but it's a pity that I was not present at that party."

"I later heard from those who attended the party that the armor was blue and gold."

"The merchant who sold this set of armor to Boss Alexander specially gave it as a gift to a Jinhaori with the same blue and gold colors."

"Judging from the appearance, it is indeed a set of armor that combines performance and beauty."

"It's a pity that Boss Alexander can't wear such armor at all."

Scrooge gestured to his belly with exaggerated movements.

"With Boss Alexander's big belly, there is no way he can fit his body into that armor."

"Only a person with a well-proportioned figure like me can wear that armor."

"Really, I really don't know why Boss Alexander bought this kind of armor that he can't even wear..."

Scrooge, whose values ​​were completely different from Alexander's, did not understand Alexander's behavior of spending a lot of money to buy a suit of armor that he could not wear at all.

Scrooge and the others chatted all the way and unknowingly returned to their camp.

"Okay, let's all disperse." Scrooge waved his hands to the people behind him, "Let's all do our own thing first."

"I'll go back to the tent and take a nap first."

After saying this, Scrooge yawned loudly.

"I woke up a little too early today."

"When I wake up, I'll slowly make preparations for dismantling the camp and moving."

After Skulucci's order was given, the men following Skulucci immediately dispersed.

But only Vasili stayed where he was and did not leave immediately.

Vasily looked around, then lowered his voice and whispered to Skulucci:

"Boss Skulucci, after meeting up with Boss Alexander this time, you must not let him know that you attacked Vladimir and Alexei."

After Vasily led the large army to join Skulucci, as the second-in-command of the army, he immediately learned from Skulucci what Skulucci had done when he was not acting with Skulucci.

All kinds of things you do.

Including helping the village of Qina that was invaded by Vladimir and Alexei.

The Cossacks have a strong nomadic character in their culture, so they have always had a "barbaric" and "rude" cultural atmosphere.
