Chapter 381: Discovering a secret base, another strategy to cut off food supply
After Zhuangzhuang had eaten and drunk his fill, his round belly became even more prominent. He was as happy as a child, pacing back and forth in place with brisk steps, humming happily from time to time.
Kashin methodically packed up the remaining meat and carefully handed it to Sendi for safekeeping. The meat was carefully packed into three sheepskin bags, which were filled to the brim, enough for several feasts.
Zhuangzhuang demonstrated his powerful strength and carried Kashen and Silver Wolf down the high ground steadily, and then carried Master Sendi into the air to find the place to capture the oxen and check the situation.
The silver wolf ran all the way, like a silver lightning streaking across the earth. Following the trajectory of Zhuangzhuang's flight, Anqi guided Kashin in the front. They needed to climb a hill of more than 700 meters to find the so-called human atmosphere.
It is obvious whether this place is church territory. The presence of a church and an altar is sufficient proof.
For such a small mountain village, building these things is a "huge project". Only religious fanatics would waste manpower and material resources to build these seemingly useless things without regard for cost.
Moreover, if there is a religious site, then all the people in this area will be affected and will become devout believers.
Kashin rode his wolf slowly into the village. The wolf's majestic posture and Kashin's serious expression made the villagers feel frightened.
They consciously closed the door and secretly observed the uninvited guest through the crack, their eyes full of vigilance and panic, and they were full of fear of strangers like Kashin in their bones.
Senior Sendi landed on the solemn altar, with a barely perceptible murderous look in his eyes.
As expected, this is where the church's armed forces will visit soon. This place is in a remote mountainous area, and the journey to human civilization is extremely long, and it takes at least five or six days.
Due to the small population size, the Empire will never set up an administrative district here to manage it.
Therefore, the believers can indeed be safe and worry-free here. Kashin soon reunited with Senior Sendi. Kashin said, "Senior Sendi, it's time to take action!"
Senior Sendi nodded slightly and responded, "This village is not small, with at least 500 people. Although the food that can be provided to the church's armed forces is not much, the wheat fields are being harvested now, which is enough for the army to have a meal. Haha, we are here, they can't even think of getting a grain of food, start..."
Thus, a brutal action began...
A huge fireball spewed out of Zhuangzhuang's mouth, and the wooden houses were instantly ignited, and the fire spread rapidly. The civilians who escaped were all killed before they could even call for help. In an instant, the entire village was engulfed in flames, and everyone fell in a pool of blood, leaving no one alive...
The fertile fields were also set on fire, and the fire became more and more intense, and hundreds of acres of wheat fields were about to be reduced to ashes. The oxen and goats were not spared and were all killed.
In just three hours, the originally quiet and peaceful mountain village turned into a living hell, with no living creatures left. ——Sendi's battle log recorded this outrageous scene truthfully.
Kashin skillfully collected the meat from two sturdy oxen. He carefully packed the fresh ingredients into a sturdy and durable sheepskin bag, and then solemnly handed it to Sendi.
As for the remaining beef, Kashin planned to enjoy a steaming and fragrant barbecue meal.
Meanwhile, Sendi was not idle either. He came to the ancient well in the center of the village and threw the bodies of the villagers into the deep well water without any expression.
Afterwards, the cattle and sheep that had just been slaughtered were thrown into the blazing fire. In short, all the food in this place had been contaminated or destroyed and could not be eaten.
Kashin skillfully built a bonfire and slowly roasted the processed beef on the rack. He deliberately selected some large pieces of beef so that the gravy and aroma could be better locked.
He held a sharp knife in his hand and kept turning the beef over to ensure that each side was evenly heated. As time went by, the beef began to make an attractive "sizzling" sound, and the surface gradually became golden and crispy, with fat constantly oozing out of the meat...
When the beef was almost cooked, Kashin quickly took out the carefully prepared seasonings...
First, there is the fine salt as fine as snow, which is lightly sprinkled on the beef, as if covering them with a thin layer of silver; then there is the mysterious magic spice, this precious seasoning exudes a strange fragrance, making people salivate; finally, there is the sweet and sour cranberry jam, which adds a unique and fresh taste to the barbecue.
In an instant, all kinds of aromas intertwined together, forming an extremely strong gourmet temptation that permeated the air and made people intoxicated.
Senior Sendi finally finished the tedious tasks at hand and slowly walked to Kashin and sat down. He looked at the delicious barbecue in front of him with a satisfied smile on his face and praised:
He praised: "Brother Kashin, your grilling skills are truly extraordinary! However, I think the key is that the seasonings you used are truly exquisite, and the taste is so deep that it penetrates into the bone marrow!"
Kashin continued to turn the barbecue attentively while responding, "Haha, Senior Sendi, thank you for the compliment! We haven't had anything hot to eat in a few days. We finally killed someone today, and the murderous aura in our bodies is too strong. We must rely on this delicious meal to suppress it! Moreover, this beef is freshly killed and cooked, and the texture and taste are absolutely unique!"
Sandy frowned and muttered to himself, "As expected! There is really no good person in this desolate place. Those believers are born with rebellious attributes. It is too difficult to change the world now..."
What he saw made him realize that it was an impossible task to govern this huge empire in an orderly manner.
After all, there are a large number of barbarians here, and almost every one of them has a close connection with that mysterious and powerful religion.
At this time, Kashin slowly stood up and skillfully turned the barbecue on the rack, with a faint smile on his face...
He said: "Don't underestimate these churches. It's not just talk that they can compete with the royal power. They possess terrifying strength. Because of this, those so-called believers don't deserve to live on this land!" After that, he shook his head gently, as if he was extremely annoyed by the existence of these people.
In this way, the two of them ate the tender, juicy and fragrant barbecue while chatting about all sorts of things.
The topics ranged from national affairs to anecdotes, from grudges to love, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. Before we knew it, dawn was approaching, and the eastern sky was turning pale.
After finishing the last bite of barbecue, Sendi and Kashin began to pack up and prepare to continue their journey.
There was still a long two-hour journey ahead of them, but the two did not show any signs of fatigue. Instead, they were full of energy.
