The Rise of the European Emperor

When he came to the dead body of the West African black rhino, Captain Royce checked and found that the rhino had been shot in four places. However, there was a steel ball bullet that happened to break the rhino horn...

"Uh... this rhino horn is probably scrapped, and its value will be reduced by half..." Looking at the rhino horn broken by the steel ball, Royce felt a little depressed.

Then, Royce and his partners pulled out a sharp high-carbon steel short knife and began to cut off the thick rhinoceros hide with flesh and blood along the "weak zone" of the folded part of the rhinoceros hide. At the same time, damaged rhino horns were also dug up.

In addition, they also cut off the good meat from the four beef legs with short knives, put them in bags and took them away. As for the remaining rhino carcasses, Royce directly asked people from nearby indigenous tribes to carry them away.

However, rhino horn is the business of the partner, Jorge de Rencastre, the Duke of Coimbra in Portugal, and it is not Marin's loss. But when Royce brought back the broken rhino horn, the Portuguese representative's face was extremely black...

Moreover, not only Royce's group damaged the rhino horns, but also the rhino horns of five groups were also damaged, which made the Portuguese representatives jump their feet in anger.

Royce was a little embarrassed, he thought for a while, and said:

"Mr. Mido, why don't I send a team of three next time? In this way, the chances of breaking the rhino's horn will be lower."

The Portuguese representative named Mido nodded with an ugly face. After all, the chance of hitting the rhino horn with 3 steel ball bullets is indeed much lower than the chance of hitting the rhino horn with 5 steel ball bullets.

While resting, Royce approached Eschwein and asked for a batch of bridles to stop the neighing of the horses. Eschwein immediately arranged for artisans to make it. After all, this is something that is conducive to hunting rhinos.

While Royce and the others were resting, the tanners of the Senegal Fur Company started processing the rhino hides overnight. Because this is a tropical place, over time, the fat attached to the inner layer of the rhinoceros hide is easy to rot and may damage the rhinoceros hide.

As for the rhinoceros leg meat they brought back, the chefs salted it and waited until tomorrow to make it into rhinoceros ham. Some people brought back rhino meat from other parts and made it into food. As for the rhinoceros ham, it was a tribute, and it was to be sent back to Beihai to be enjoyed by Marin and other big shots.

The idea of ​​making rhinoceros ham was conceived by Caesar, the little prince of Beihai. When Marin said that a musketeer went to West Africa to hunt rhinos, Little Caesar asked cutely, "What is a rhino?"

Marin casually replied, "Rhinoceros is a kind of cow." Then, the snack foodie asked if he could get some ham made from rhinoceros' leg meat back...

Marin's eyes lit up immediately, and he sent someone to inform the Senegalese Fur Company that when hunting rhinos, they would bring some high-quality leg meat and make it into rhinoceros ham and send it back to China...

Then, the West African black rhino that was brutally killed was not only skinned and horned after death, but also the meat from the four legs was cut off. It can be described as extremely miserable...

...

When Royce's hunting party set off again the next day, each horse was fitted with a muzzle and bridle. Of course, the muzzle and bridle will not be put on until you are close to the rhino. After all, this is a tropical place. If the horse's mouth is kept covered to prevent it from panting, the heat from the horse's body will be difficult to dissipate...

This time, because of the muzzle bridle, no team was spotted by the rhinos because of the neighing of the horses. Then, before the night of the next day, all 30 West African black rhinos on the Cape Verde peninsula were murdered...

On Goree Island, Royce and other musketeers have come back to drink and celebrate. The chefs have finished 120 rhinoceros hams and started to dry them in the sun. The musketeers and fur company employees present here eat meat from other parts of the rhino.

In this day and age, people prefer to eat fatty meat. Therefore, the rhino meat brought back by the musketeers was half fat and half lean. Chefs then turn it into greasy roasts or rhino steaks or braised rhino meat, leaving everyone in the room with a mouth full of oil.

And on the same night,

Several indigenous tribes such as Dakar on the Cape Verde peninsula are even more crazy about it...

These natives frantically sang and danced around the bonfire to vent their joy. Because the West African black rhinos on the peninsula that terrified them were finally cleaned up. From then on, when they went hunting, they didn't have to worry about it. Who knows what kind of horrible life they lived before, dominated by the fear of the West African black rhino...

The next morning, Eschwein came to the Dakar tribe again and asked the people of the Dakar tribe to contact the tribes in the inland area east of the Cape Verde Peninsula and ask them to allow the hunting team to enter their territory to hunt West African black rhino. After all, if you trespass into the indigenous territory without proper communication, you may be greeted with javelins, bows and arrows... It may be difficult for those things to shoot and kill rhinos, but it seems to be no big problem to shoot and kill the hunting team ...After all, hunting team members don't have thick rhinoceros hide on them...

...

Just as Eschwein imagined, the local tribe heard that these people were here to help hunt the terrible black rhino, and there was no objection. Even the salt used to bribe the chiefs of several tribes such as the Dakar tribe was useless.

After all, Dakar and other tribes were not familiar with Eschwein at the beginning, and there was no mutual trust, so they needed to be smashed with salt. And those inland tribes, because of the assurance of the Dakar tribe, do not suspect their motives for hunting the West African black rhino. Therefore, they are very welcome to the hunting team.

Then, under the leadership of the guides sent by those tribes, the various hunting teams set off again, pounced on those West African black rhinos who were unaware of the danger...

"Bang bang bang..."

"Bang bang bang..."

"Bang bang bang..."

...

After bursts of vicious gunshots, all the fierce West African black rhinos who once dominated the situation and were proud of the Jianghu... Ah no, they were the fierce West African black rhinos who were proud of the West African prairie. Cut off the leg meat...

If it is seen by animal protection organizations in later generations, Royce and others will definitely be besieged and maybe beaten. After all, they kill animals...

However, the local black people who have been dominated by the fear of black rhinos for many years, sang and danced to celebrate the death of those domineering black rhinos.

Black rhinos are different from white rhinos. White rhinos have a relatively gentle personality and do not attack people casually. Black rhinos, on the other hand, have a bad temper and often attack native West Africans who pass by. Moreover, the local indigenous people have nothing to do with them. They were, after all, Stone Age natives. So, for the West African black rhino, they can only feel fear.

But now, the black rhinoceros in West Africa are being killed in large numbers by the musketeers of the hunting team, which makes these black natives excited. You know, the territory of an adult male black rhino is 10 square kilometers. The death of each West African black rhino means that 10 square kilometers of land is vacated, which can become a new hunting ground for local indigenous people. Even, it can be used for grazing...

Senegal is not the domain of primitive peoples, but the outskirts of the slavery Mali Empire. It's not that the locals don't know how to herd, it's just that the black rhino is too domineering, robbing the fertile pastures and attacking any animals that come close. Therefore, the locals dare not graze casually. Because, if the flock gets close to the violent West African black rhino, it only takes one charge, and the flock will be killed and injured countless times...

But now, with the arrival of the hunting team of the Senegalese Fur Company, those West African black rhinos who are rampant on the West African prairie have ushered in their doomsday. But at the same time, the local indigenous blacks who were once dominated by the fear of the black rhinoceros in West Africa have ushered in their bright future...
