Chapter 13: Gold

The commander found that from the very beginning, he had been tricked by this group of "robbers". First of all, the bandits had long known about his escort move. Then, they took advantage of the foggy weather to lure those elite knights into the dense forest. Second, they set up an ambush on the way to Haiyabao, so that he could not move the rescue troops and even escape.

Just thinking about it sent a chill down the commander's back.

Now, too, the commander is left to his fate.

"Listen, you only have two paths to choose from right now. The first way is to resist to the death, and the result is that your army will be annihilated. The second way is to leave all the soldiers behind and you leave alone. Delena didn't give the commander much time to think

The commander took a look at the deep jungle and thought about the actions of these "bandits".

"These robbers are so powerful, I don't know what tricks they have waiting for me. The commander thought to himself

"Well, I'll choose the second path. Let me go, and you can do with these soldiers. The commander said

The remnants of the Imperial soldiers looked at their commander, they did not expect their commander to betray his men in order to flee for their lives. Most of the soldiers suddenly felt cold and lost their will to fight.

"You can go. Delena waved her hand into the woods, signaling for the commander to let him go.

The commander ran in the direction of Haiyabao, not even bothering to pick up the helmet and weapon that had fallen to the ground.

Delena turned and said to the remaining Imperial soldiers.

"You have seen that your commander risked your life and death in order to escape. Now, the aristocracy is making a lot of money and making life difficult for the people. If you still have a conscience, don't be a tiger. Those who want to join us stay, those who don't want to join, leave their equipment and go. ”

As soon as these words came out, the imperial soldiers below, you look at me, I see you look very dazed. Then, a tall Gnoslan Imperial soldier shouted yes.

After a while, the other Norslan soldiers also expressed their willingness to join Dalena. Only seven Delman soldiers took off their armor and wanted to get out of here. Delena didn't stop them and let them go.

In this way, the people returned to the camp of refuge with the booty.

"Lord Morin, your plan has been so successful!" said Gravel happily

"It's still a good cooperation. Maureen appeared modest

"Sir, do you guess what we have robbed this time?" said Bevman, who was delighted

"What is it?"

"It's gold! Eight chests of gold!"

"It seems that this time we have intercepted the military salaries transported to Haiyabao, and the military will not stop like this. Gravel said

"What are we going to do next, Lord Morin?" Bevman asked

"The next thing we're going to do is ......," Merlin thought

"Give the gold to the poor?" said Gravel and Bevman in unison, looking at Maureen quizzically

"Why, isn't this action to rob the rich and help the poor?"

"Yes...... It's for the poor."

"But that's eight chests of gold. Bevman deliberately accentuated the word "gold."

"Yes, we'll keep four boxes. The rest was distributed to the poor villagers in the vicinity. Morin said resolutely

"All right, Lord Morin. Since you are so insistent, then we will do what you say. Gravel thought for a moment and said to Maureen

"That's it," Bevman said

With that, Bevman immediately set about it. He beckoned to a few brothers on horseback, and each of them took some gold and galloped towards the village near the camp.

Walking through the dense forest, Bevman and the others saw a village not far away.

"Look, that's Stag Village. I spent a while there when I was younger. One of them exclaimed

"Later, we will see the joy of the people there when they get the gold. Befman clamped his legs and rode towards the village

The rest of the men also followed Bevman on horseback and rushed towards the village.

"Bevman, you see there's a fire burning there. ”

Bevman stopped and looked over the Gravell brother's finger. Sure enough, smoke billowed from there.

"It seems to be a robber, and the Gravel brothers cheered up. Bevman said

Several of the Gravel brothers pulled out the blades they were carrying.

"Brothers, rush over. ”

Befman swept across the lush meadow like lightning, catching the robbers off guard. Those robbers were just a gang of stragglers, and there were only about two dozen people in total. They were poorly equipped and their clothes were covered with dust.

How could such a robber be an opponent for someone like Befman, who would have beaten away the Imperial army?

Except for a few robbers who were killed and fled, the rest all fell to their knees and begged for mercy.

"Where did you come from?" asked Befman, dismounting, patting the dust off his clothes, to one of the robbers, who was on his knees.

"My lord, we are from Haiyabao. We were originally ordinary peasants, but we couldn't stand the heavy taxes of the nobles, so we ran out to become robbers. My lord, this is our first offense, so please spare us. The robber pleaded

Bevman took a closer look at the robber, who had rough skin and calloused hands, and looked like he was a regular laborer.

"Okay......"

Just as Befman was about to release the bandits, an elderly man walked out of the dilapidated house. The old man staggered, but still walked briskly, as if he was afraid of missing something.

"I can't let them go, my daughter......" said the old man with difficulty, his eyes filled with cloudy teardrops.

"Old man, you speak slowly. Bevman ran over and held the old man

"My daughter...... It was ...... by the bandits," the old man not only burst into tears, but he held Bevman's hand tightly as if grasping at a life-saving straw.

"Old man, you speak slowly, and I will administer justice for you. ”

"My lord, my daughter has been ravaged by these robbers. The old man finally held back and finished his sentence.

"Your Excellency, you can spare us. We are also afraid for a while, and we know that we are wrong. "The robbers fell to their knees and begged for mercy.

Bevman had intended to give the bandits a chance, but it was no wonder that they had committed such a crime.

"Pin them to stakes, pick out their tendons and tendons with a dagger, and let them feed the crows. Bevman ordered

"My lord, we don't dare anymore, please spare us. ”

Bevman ignored the robbers, but went to comfort the victim and his daughter, and stuffed him with a bag of gold.
