Chapter 581: Tavern Tragedy
The orc named Isma really didn't lie, and led them to find the place where the orcs hid their money, in a cellar under a small inconspicuous house, and if it weren't for Isma's help, it would have been a long time since they found it. I don't know what the orc thinks, but it would be nice to be able to find a place where the orc hid his money.
And the amount of money is really a lot, I don't know if this group of orcs didn't send the money back at all, and wanted to wait until they took other cities to save a little more before transporting it back, or if they had already transported some of it back, and the rest was still so much, so much that the cellar was stuffed.
There is no doubt that most of this money was collected by orcs from nobles and merchants, and many of these people have run away or are no longer alive, so naturally there is no way to return anything to its original owner (even if they are still in Renault, they may not be able to pay it back). This money was completely enough for the army in front of Renault, so early the next morning, Renault arranged for someone to post a recruitment announcement and recruit troops and horses in the city.
Having said that, in fact, there are still a lot of men in the city, although the orcs are brutal, they do not carry out massacres and other things, and Sydney Bert, who was occupied by the orcs, has long accumulated resentment, Renault posted a recruitment announcement, which is in line with the intentions of many people, those who want to build a knighthood, those who want to avenge the shame, those who want to defend their homeland, and those who want to eat in today's economic depression, etc., anyway, as soon as the announcement is posted, there will be an endless stream of people to join the army.
In addition to men, there are also a lot of strong women, Renault did not refuse, anyway, a group of female prisoners have been accepted last night, just formed a formation, besides, female soldiers also have the benefits of female soldiers, they still seem more flexible in dealing with orcs, and the recruitment of troops will be handed over to Lao Tie, Lao Tie is also quite pitiful, with some fatigue for a long time, the soldiers who just took a little rest last night continue to be busy. It's not that Renault bullied him, but the entire 6921 Brigade is busy, after all, it's a huge city, and they only have so many people, just a few people need a lot of money, plus ordnance, food and grass or something, it's enough, not to mention some trivial things.
When I tapped the grain and grass, I found that most of the grain and grass orcs did not carry, and it was estimated that the orc army did not want to bring so much, anyway, Sydney Burt was not far away, and the transportation was not too troublesome, and they did not have so many people to transport materials, and the orc generals were not very relieved to use humans, so this time it was cheaper for Renault's team, and this time Renault was bigger.
Of course, there are also people under Renault who are loyal to their duties and familiar with the laws and regulations of the empire, such as Barbary, he told Renault that so many materials, so many property, if they are returned to the object after collection, they should return a part, and the most important thing is that whether there is a return object or not, they should hand over a part, for example, the 76th Wing where they are located is eligible to receive a part of the money, and the same is true for other materials. And Renault treated Barbary as a fart and asked him to give him money? Joke, his purpose in taking down Sydney Burt was already obvious, to expand his team, as for Na Bobier, although Renault still had a good impression of him, but so what?
Renault, who had the money, not only stayed in the city to recruit troops, but also sent dozens of cavalry, and their purpose was obvious, that is, to gather the scattered forces around him. Sydney Burt is surrounded by orc occupation areas, but it does not mean that everything is under the control of the orcs. Civilians who spontaneously formed a team to resist and so on, although the scale of each team is not large, more than a hundred people, and a few dozen people less, but this is not a small force when gathered, Renault's approach is very simple, move with affection, know with money, preach a wave of defending the country, resist the orcs, and then make a bid to let these scattered forces be used for their own use.
The reason why Renault is so anxious to expand the team, the first reason is naturally to hold Sydney Burth, there is no doubt that the orcs will never be willing to lose Sydney Burth, and will definitely come back to snatch Sydney Burth, and Renault naturally wants to defend it with all his might, he has no intention of handing over the city to his superiors, anyway, he beat it down, he just interrupted the existence of using this place as a base, recruiting troops and horses, and treating it as a base camp.
It's also because he's worried that the orcs will attack, Renault hasn't closed his eyes in the past two days, and has dealt with a lot of things, but to Renault's surprise, the orcs haven't reacted in the past two days, including the orcs in the northern occupation area of the southern expedition, they don't seem to have reacted, Renault is also happy to see this situation, what he needs most now is time.
Besides, the group of prisoners, as Renault expected, there were still some people who chose to escape, but it was much better than Renault expected, not many people left, and those who were left were obviously human beings who were already subjectively willing to join the 6921 brigade, distributing equipment, compiling a number, and promoting generals and leading officers, this team was also formed, compared to the original 6921 brigade, it may still need to be run-in and promoted, but compared to the new recruits, it is really much better.
As for those who escaped, Renault was not polite, and posted a notice, all of which were capital crimes, and they could be exchanged for money if they got their heads, anyway, it was impossible to give them a foothold in Sydney Burt again, and without disposing of the orcs who had gone south, Renault would not open the city gates, so he trapped these escaped prisoners in Sydney Burt, which could be regarded as an example.
After two busy days, I finally had time to rest, and there were a lot of talents in that group of prisoners, so many soldiers of the 6921 Brigade were finally able to rest. Renault, it's not too tired, it's just annoying, and someone took over and he was relieved to shake his hands and rest.
Renault naturally took the City Lord's Mansion as his own, and also allocated some luxuriously decorated rooms for his officers, and they should always be allowed to enjoy it, and the City Lord's Mansion is also connected to the barracks, so it doesn't matter.
On this day, Renault had nothing to do, sitting leisurely in the living room, half-leaning on a chair, looking at a book, not a book still read, that is, a book of case records, Renault was still quite interested in the little boy's case, as if he was reading a story, he looked at it with a taste.
Godeka Tavern, the place where the incident happened, this is a tavern, the proprietress of the tavern is a widow, her husband was originally a mercenary, he was born and died many times, and he made a lot of money, but unfortunately the mercenary's bowl of rice is always accompanied by high risks, not every time there is good luck, the money is enough, and the mercenary is also hanging.
And the money, naturally, was left to his wife Bess, who grieved for a while after her husband's death, and finally stood up, her husband didn't have much desire, just wanted to open a tavern after making money, her husband himself was good at wine, and he also liked to make wine and bartending, and opening a tavern was a dream.
And the relationship between the two couples is not bad, in order to complete her husband's will, Beth took the money, and opened a tavern in the local town, with the help of relatives and friends, this tavern is also opened smoothly, the name is that she and her husband have long thought of the Godeka tavern, this name has the meaning of fortune and treasure in the local area.
The tavern opened, there was a lot of business, the past merchants drank and ate, and the villagers liked to sit here if they had nothing to do, and over time it was also somewhat famous in the local area. And Beth is also an honest person, although the business has started, she has no intention of expanding anymore, and she honestly guards this tavern and lives her life.
Speaking of Bisi, although it is far from being called the national color and natural fragrance, but it is also a small beauty, and it is also a famous beauty in the local area, although she is married, but because she has become a young woman and has more charm, this is the loss of her husband, and there is some small money, naturally there are constant suitors, small businessmen, local boys, etc., it can be regarded as an endless stream. However, Beth is also chaste, and she doesn't plan to remarry, she just wants to honestly keep the hook card, which can be regarded as a kind of nostalgia for her deceased husband.
It's a pity that the thing is that she's quite good-looking. There was a time, a small mercenary group, about thirty people, recently carried out some tasks nearby, often came to the Godeka tavern to sit, and came and went to be familiar with Bessy, after this familiarization, the more the head of the mercenary group looked at it, the more he felt that Beth was pleasing to the eye, mercenaries, he didn't think much about it, happy and revenge, who knows whether he will be dead or alive tomorrow? So the mercenary captain began to pursue Bessy.
This Beth didn't care at first, and it wasn't for nothing that mercenaries pursued her in the past, so Beth treated it as before. It's just that what I didn't expect was that this mercenary captain was really moving, probably it was the legendary encounter with true love, anyway, the offensive was more fierce than one wave, what flowers and gifts, singing performances, etc., were done all over again, and I vowed to take down Bisi.
Having said that, this mercenary captain is not bad, not too old, thirty or forty years old, just young and strong, and has some skills, and looks heroic, but unfortunately, this Beth thinks of her deceased husband when she sees the mercenary, and she can't finish thinking about her deceased husband, and she ignores the pursuit of the mercenary captain.
In the end, Beth was anxious, couldn't stand it, and drove people away, this is the beginning of the outbreak of things, Beth turned her face, and the mercenary captain's face couldn't be pulled down, she pursued it with good intentions for so many days, not only did Beth not accept herself, but also drove people in front of her subordinates, where did he put his face? After arguing a few words, the mercenary captain made a move, in the end, it was a mercenary, the person who licked the blood from the knife didn't care so much, he didn't want to, then he would be strong, and he would immediately be strong in front of everyone, anyway, the tavern was all his men, just keep the tavern.
Just as the mercenary captain was making his move, a little boy in the tavern came to hold his thigh and was kicked away by him, and this little boy was the heart of the matter, that is, the little boy that Renault and they fished out of the dungeon.
In other words, this little boy is also quite special, when Beth first found him when he went to clean the cemetery of her deceased husband, at that time, Bessy's husband had just left, Beth couldn't give up, so she went to the cemetery from time to time to visit her husband. The cemetery, of course, is in the wilderness, under some rolling hills.
Around the cemetery, Beth saw the little boy, at first she thought it was a child of which family, but after a closer look, unkempt hair, hair scattered, and not like, Beth spoke to him, and he ran into the forest, after that mountain forest is the real wilderness, wild beasts infested, there are monsters in the depths, Beth thinks that the little boy will not live long if he goes in.
Unexpectedly, the little boy was not only fine, but every time Beth went to the cemetery, he could see him, there were some fruit trees on the side of the cemetery, planted by some villagers, and this little boy came to steal fruit and eat. Beth saw that he was pitiful, and then from time to time he brought some food to the little boy, and the little boy refused at first, and as soon as Beth got close to him, he ran, but after a long time, he also saw that Beth had no malice, and accepted Bessy's kindness, and over time, the two became acquainted.
Later, Beth knew that the little boy was mostly unrelated and unreasonable, similar to a wild man, and felt sorry for him, plus she and her husband did not leave a child or anything, so she simply took the little boy home and raised him as a son.
The little boy seems to have very little contact with things, he doesn't understand many things, he is very curious about everything, and he does a lot of stupid things, but because of this, he likes Bess, and raises him well. And the little man is not a person who does not repay his kindness, so he stays in the tavern and helps Beth do some chores, and the two get along happily, and after Bessy's husband leaves, he also needs a companion. This so-called long-term love is deep, and the relationship between the two has been like a mother and son for a long time, and like a sister and brother.
So when the mercenary captain made a move on Bess, the little boy tried his best to resist after listening to Bess's wail, but unfortunately he was a little boy, how could he be the opponent of a mercenary? After being kicked a few times, he was held down by several big men, and watched Beth being violated by the mercenary captain, and then I didn't know what happened, it seemed that it was because I saw Beth being too painful under the mercenary captain, or because of some other stimulus, the little boy went berserk, and finally only knew that he tore all the thirty or so mercenaries apart, and the previous situation was still after a neighbor called the police guards, and someone described the facts when he was anxiously watching outside, and the things behind were too bloody, and the neighbor was almost scared to death, and he didn't dare to see what happened at allγ Later, the vigilantes who heard the news rushed into the Godeka Tavern, and the unfortunate ones became part of the pieces, the real pieces, and the entire Godeka Tavern was almost filled with blood.
