Mercenaries and Adventurers

Not far from the commercial road, on the gentle **** of the mountain, there is an arc-shaped field reclaimed along the gentle **** of the mountain. The clear spring in the mountain is led out by the villagers, and it goes all the way down along the small stone canal next to the field, almost covering the village. All farmland owned.

The farmland outside the village is full of common wheat, but there are no farmers looking after the farmland, which is a bit strange. There are fireworks in the village, but there is no one outside the village.

This is now Xinqingquan Village.

On the small road built out of stones and wood outside the village, a group of bandits was walking quickly towards the village.

Each of them held one or two weapons in their hands, and wore various protective equipment, some wrapped in animal skin clothes that would be too hot in spring, and some exposed their shoulders and arms with tattoos Scary monster image.

The leader was a strong and tall bandit, holding a sword in his hand, walking in front of everyone without saying a word.

After walking quickly for a while, they came to the gate of the village. Although Xinqingquan Village is just a small village located by the mountain, in order to guard against wild beasts and monsters in the mountain, there is still a wooden wall built with thick trees around the village.

The height of the several-meter-high wooden wall is not very neat, but it is not something ordinary people can climb up with bare hands. It is not easy to turn over without a wooden ladder.

"Hey! It's me, what are you looking at, open the door for me!"

The bandit leading the team outside the gate was a leader, so he yelled impolitely at the ordinary bandits on guard at the gate of the village.

However, the bandit above poked his head out and looked down. After confirming that it was a certain leader of the gang, he didn't obediently come down to open the door. Instead, he shrank his head and ran into the village following the sound of footsteps.

The bandit leader raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, but not angry. He explained to the familiar bandit partners: "Most likely he is going to call the bald guy who stayed behind and ask for his opinion. Let's just wait a bit."

As he expected, the bandit who was guarding the gate had indeed returned to the village to ask the leader left behind.

While walking towards the center of the village, this guy shouted to his companions who were resting on the roofs of farmers beside the road: "There is a group of people outside, led by Scarface. Pay attention, everyone, be vigilant."

The left-behind bandit, who had been resting in the shade of a tree, raised his vigilance when he heard the shout: "Why did he bring people back? It hasn't been long since he left?"

Looking at the sun, indeed, it was only afternoon, and there were so many targets this time, no matter how smooth the bandit's attack was, it was unlikely that the robbery would be completed at this time.

If the opponent resists, the bandits and the fat sheep on the commercial road can even face off for two or three days.

"I don't know. I don't know Scarface very well. How could I ask him? Isn't that a fight? I'll call the bald brother and let him see the situation."

After speaking, the bandits guarding the gate came to a low but wide house next to the small square in the center of the village. This guy originally thought that the bald man couldn't control the thing in his crotch. At this time, he was probably tossing the captured woman. After all, no one cares about him at this time. He is the biggest in the village, so he has the final say at this time.

But the bandit just looked in at the door of the house, and found that the bald guy was just sitting on the wooden chair in the house, muttering something in a low voice with his own cronies.

"who?"

As if realizing that someone was coming at the door of the house, the bald head suddenly turned his head and roared at the door of the house in a low voice.

"It's me, it's me! Big brother bald, it's me, the doorman."

The bandit who came in explained, and then seeing the bald head looking worried, he immediately explained: "I am not lazy, it is outside the gate of the village, and Scarface came back suddenly with a dozen people."

When the bald head heard this, his face became even more strange, and he subconsciously looked at his cronies: "What is he doing back now? Hey, dog feet, do you know?"

"I didn't ask, how dare I ask, who doesn't know the bad temper of that guy with Scarface, this guy is the most vicious, every dog ​​passing by in the village would be caught and slapped twice by him. I'm coming here quickly, isn't it? I’m here to ask you to go over and have a look, and let him come in. After all, the leader said, let’s keep an eye on the village.”

What's more, the guard bandit nicknamed Dog's Foot didn't say much. Everyone is a bandit and they all know that the struggle for power and betrayal within the bandit gang is really normal.

Who knows if Scarmian brought someone back at this time, is there any crooked intention?

And the muscles on the bald face with crooked thoughts trembled twice, he groaned and prevaricated a few words, asked his cronies to bring their weapons, and then everyone trotted to the gate of the village.

The bald head went all the way, making the bandits squatting on the roof of the farmer's house follow him all the way, and when he led people to the gate of the village, there were more than ten people on his side.

"Hey! Scarface! What are you %%￥ doing back at this time? Did the looting go well?"

The bald head lay on the edge of the terrace on the wooden gate of the village, bent down and shouted at Scarface who was walking around anxiously outside.

"Successful%%￥% smooth! The guy who informed us about the trade route deceived us. The refugee team was actually led by a young knight. Some of the brothers were killed or injured, but fortunately, most of them joined Soon soft leg shrimp, little piggy."

The bald head rolled his eyes, trying to laugh, but held back.

He then asked: "Then what are you doing when you come back? I remember that when the weapons brothers were dispatched."

The scarface underneath knew what the bald head was suspecting, but he didn't care, after all, he did come back following the leader's order.

"Things are very complicated. In short, the leader asked me to bring some of his own slaves there, which is useful."

"What's the use? The women under the leader's hands are all very beautiful, and the men who were captured are also rich businessmen, and the ransom has not yet been paid."

"Humph." Scarface snorted coldly: "Don't worry about it, it's the order of the leader anyway, you give me the person, or open the door, and I'll go in and take it away. The leader wants someone now, don't delay! If you delay, those refugees If you don’t know for sure, you just crossed our territory. Or do you have to ask the leader to come over and lead the people in person? Then do you still have to do the previous work?”

The bald head is not stupid, he has no intention of opening the village gate at all, not to mention he has other plans, even if he is loyal to the leader, he will not open the village gate until he sees the leader returning.

He turned his head and said to the bandits holding swords behind him: "In this way, what he said is true, bring over those captured by the leader's men, tie them with ropes and send them down."

Someone asked: "It's so troublesome, isn't it easy to open the door and let Scarface take someone to do it?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, he was slapped on the head by the bandit next to him: "Stupid, the ghost knows that what Scarface said is true or not, the door opened, and he rushed in with people and killed everyone. Go up and fight him. Or should I go up and fight?"

The bald head snorted and smiled beside him: "That's it. I can't open the door until I see the head. Even if the village is on fire, I can't open the door. Do you know?"

After reprimanding his subordinates in this way, the bald head asked his subordinates to bring someone over.

Soon, seven or eight men and women in exquisite clothes were **** with ropes and escorted over to the spacious room where the bald man was.

These people consisted of four women and four men, all of whom were relatively young, and two of them wore long bright cloth skirts that only wealthy women in the city wore. Although they were caught by bandits and abused for a while, The spirit is good, but a little depressed.

The other two women were younger, wearing cheap linen clothes from farmers in the village. Although their arms and legs were thick and strong, their faces were young and pretty. The two young girls were quite panicked, like puppies in the rain, helpless and terrified.

These two girls are locals of Xinqingquan Village. Ever since the bandits occupied the village some time ago, they felt like they had entered a nightmare from which they could never wake up.

At this time, they didn't know what these bandits wanted them to do, so they could only lean against each other tightly while pushing and staggering.

The other four men are all middle-aged businessmen. Although they were still wearing their original set of clothes, they were all beaten, their faces were swollen, and a few teeth fell out. It was cut off when the robbers forced him to execute him.

I don't know if it was given to the family as a 'gift', urging the family to raise a ransom.

The footsteps of these merchants were even more heavy, because for them, the best result was that the family sent a ransom, and the bandits released them back. And any additional event other than that, for them, is a risk and a doomed accident.

Their footsteps were even more slow, but the bandits who brought the people were not polite, they directly pulled the rope or kicked violently, and even slammed the blunt end of the knife into the merchant's back.

"Hurry up, do you want to be beaten? Hurry up!"

Being treated so harshly, they still came to the gate of the village.

As a result, the eight men and women were driven to the gate of the village, and then they were carried by ropes that bound their arms, and how many people were sent out of the village one by one?

However, outside the village is not a free and safe place, there are still bandits with fierce faces, and there is also a bandit leader who is not easy to mess with at first sight.

"I'm Scarface, you all follow me now, move quickly, don't dawdle! Otherwise, you can **** fist! The same goes for women!"

Knowing that these people don't care about men and women, and their usefulness is not so superficial and simple, Scarface's mouth is not very polite.

After intimidating the captured people, Scarface asked his subordinates to **** these people one by one to set off, and he raised his head for the last time to look at the bald head on the village gate, reached out and nodded the other party, expressing that he had written down the other party's words this time. Behavior.

But the bald head on the top of the gate didn't care. He folded his arms and watched Scarface and the others go down the mountain, and then he turned around and shouted to the bandits around him: "Okay, it's over, let's go back to our original places." The sun is really too hot, let's all find a place to rest!"

But in the end, he still asked his cronies to stay at the gate of the village on duty.

Before returning to the center of the village, he whispered a few words to his cronies who stayed at the gate, then patted his shoulders heavily, and whispered one last time: "Remember, take off your clothes, or you will die." What an injustice. Also, if you can find an opportunity to open the door, you can open it. It doesn’t matter if you can’t. The neighbors next door will open the door to let their people in. Of course, it’s a credit to be able to do it. What will you do when the time comes? ,look by youself."

Before leaving with the bald head, he glanced at the bandit named Goujiao who was in charge of guarding the gate, and raised his eyebrows at his cronies.

The subordinates naturally understood, and replied in a low voice: "Understood, if I do it, I will kill this guy first."

"Just understand, I'm leaving, you can figure it out yourself."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, shook his bald head and hummed a song, and walked away.

The bandits who were in charge of staying behind in the village couldn't bear the sunshine of spring, so they dispersed to find a cool place to rest.

However, even if they rest, they are all in a high place with a good view in the village, and most of them have a set of throwing guns or bows and arrows at hand. However, this is not to be wary of anyone outside the village, but mainly because they are afraid of the 'slaves' who are locked in various houses in the village. Make chaos.

-

The leader of the bandits is currently arranging a small group of bandits under his command, asking them to create some obstacles and troubles on the trade road. At the same time, a dozen or so bandits who knew how to shoot arrows were also gathered and ambushed in a forest closest to the trade road, waiting for the refugee team to approach and cause some trouble for the other party.

Although he no longer intends to eat up these refugee teams alone, he still has to make trouble and consume energy for the other party. If someone dies on his side, he must recover his face.

"Remember, keep your eyes alert. When you see the knight coming on horseback, hide in the woods ahead of time. If he doesn't chase after him, wait until he's far away before coming out to create obstacles for the commercial road! Slow down the speed of the refugee team , if he dismounts and chases him, then guide him to the trap area that is being set up, and the brothers who are ambushing there will give him a good look!"

The bandit leader stood up straight, stepped on the protruding root of a big tree, and issued orders.

But at this time, the vast majority of those who obeyed his orders were experienced bandits who had been with him for a while. The young bandits who joined the gang during this period of time gathered around in twos and threes, neither working nor publishing anything. remarks.

Rather negative.

But if you can't understand what they say, go up to argue or find fault, those young bandits directly raise their weapons, and they mean to do it if there is a disagreement.

The bandit leader didn't rashly provoke these people when the timing wasn't right. If he didn't take any action, these young bandits would still gather here based on the inertia of their actions these days, neither fleeing nor doing much.

He is waiting, waiting for the 'props' he needs to arrive.

With the 'help' of those 'props', these young men no longer have the superfluous and naive idea of ​​not being bandits.

Looking around with gloomy and cruel eyes, the bandit leader asked for a piece of barbecue jerky from the dog leg, simply to fill his stomach and maintain his physical fitness.

At this time, Scarface, who had been back to the village for a while, came back with someone.

Scarface strode up to the leader of the bandits, and handed the rope that led the eight men and women to the leader: "Boss, I brought them back. Eight people, four men and four women, are the ones you want, right?" ? I didn’t go to the village, the guy with the bald head didn’t let me into the village, he found me.”

The bandit leader glanced at the eight men and women with their arms bound, and didn't care whether these people were captured by him for his control, as long as they were innocent people who had nothing to do with the bandits.

"Okay, you've done a good job. The brothers in front have already made moves, and you also lead people up to watch. Create obstacles to the trade roads, shoot arrows in the forest, and ambush in the trap area. You can choose one by yourself. "

Scarface is a fierce guy who likes to fight, so he naturally chose to ambush in a trap, so that he would have a chance to kill the knight with his own hands. Of course, his own men and familiar bandits sent them to the other two places.

He knew what was dangerous and what was safer.

After Scarface and the others walked away, the bandit leader called his dog leg over, gave some instructions in a low voice, and then pointed to a place with a lot of bushes in the woods not far away. Can't see what's going on inside.

Then the bandit leader raised his weapon, personally dragged the innocent men and women whose arms were bound, and led them over.

The dog leg of the bandit leader watched the leader's movements with a frown, his face full of reluctance to participate in such a bad thing.

"How to do it?"

He muttered, UU reading www.uukanshu.com but things had to be done, otherwise he would not be able to fight very much, and if he wanted to maintain his position in the gang, he had to be the dog's leg of the leader.

"I hope Goddess can forgive me for what I have done today. In the next year or two, half of the property I get will be donated to you and your church. Please forgive me."

The dog leg found a place with few people and knelt down to pray. The bandits around him were not surprised when they saw it. The bandits came from all walks of life in society, and their beliefs were also different. A lot of bad things, so many people have all kinds of weird behaviors, which are normal.

After self-consolingly praying to the gods for forgiveness, the dog leg took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

When he opened it again, there was a smile on his eyes, and a smile on his dirty, oily face, as if he had something good to share with others.

This deliberate smile quickly fixed on his face, and the dog leg touched it with his hands, feeling satisfied.

He deliberately stooped his back again to make the whole person look more wretched, and loosened the belt around his waist with his hands, and put down his originally tight tight pants, as if he had taken off his pants to dry something like that.

After fiddling with these, the dog legs took out the food of the bandit leader that he carried in the bag with him, picked out a piece of marinated and roasted beef jerky, and broke the whole piece of jerky with his hands, breaking it apart.

Then, holding a small piece of dried meat in his hand, he walked towards the young bandits around him with pretended wandering steps.

It looked like he was introducing a wonderful good thing to these simple and stupid young people, but was it really that way?
