As soon as it was dawn on the fifth day of the battle, the Sentinel reported a lone rider from the north, and Art asked the Sentinel to bring the men to the camp, and then ordered Angus to be summoned and the thieves imprisoned in the camp into the military tent.

The person who came was the second leader of the bandits, riding a miscellaneous horse with three thousand pfennigh of silver coins to redeem his son, in the past two days he had seen the heads of the people beside the western trade road, which caused a great shock and fear to his psychology, for the sake of insurance, he had moved the bandits' nest to another hidden canyon, before leaving he had ordered a dozen old brothers who were still with him to be ready to flee for their lives at any time, once he did not return before the evening, the remaining bandits would take their families to find another way out.

When the second leader of the remnants of the bandits walked into the gate of the village with a sigh of relief, the camp was full of soldiers with sharp blades and murderous eyes.

The second leader squirmed in his throat, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at the soldiers beside him, who would gently push and signal to go to the military tent inside.

Entering a slightly larger tent, his son was gagged and kneeling on the ground by two soldiers.

The second leader was about to step forward to see his son, when Art's voice sounded, "Take the young master of the second leader down." Then Art withdrew the rest of the soldiers, leaving only Arte Angus and the two leaders of the bandits.

"You've seen your son, how about it, I'm a man of credibility." Art sat on the wooden chair, leaning forward slightly.

The head of the second leader followed the son who had been taken away in a circle until he disappeared outside the tent.

"Lord Patrol Officer, I have already brought the money, a copper coin is a lot, please let my son go~" The second leader was extremely respectful, and his tone was pleading.

Art and Angus looked at each other for a moment and smiled, "Of course, you are very trustworthy."

"Can I take my son with me?" The second leader frowned.

Art and Angus stared straight at the two leaders and did not answer, and the two leaders' faces began to tense again.

After another moment, there was still no movement from the two in front of them.

The eyes of the second leader of the remnants widened wider and wider, his fingers slipped off the money bag, and then he fell to his knees with a thud, "Master, you said that I would take money to ransom people~"

Angus laughed lightly, stepped forward to pick up the money bag on the ground, and said, "My family promised to release your son, but we didn't promise you."

The second leader collapsed on the ground, and he was prepared for such an outcome.

Just as the second leader was desperately waiting for the soldiers outside to drag him down and behead him, Art, who was sitting on a wooden chair, took the money bag from Angus's hand, slowly paced in front of the second leader, and threw the money bag into his arms, but the second leader did not catch it, and the money bag fell to the ground again.

"I'm not going to kill you."

The second leader, who was paralyzed on the ground, thought he had misheard, and looked up at Art in surprise.

"You heard it right, I'm not going to kill you, and neither is your son." Art looked sincere.

But the more Art looked so sincere, the more the heart of the second leader of the bandits pounded, and he couldn't figure out what the guy in front of him wanted to do.

"Sir, if you think the ransom is too small, I'll go back immediately......"

"No, no, no, no, I don't need a ransom." Art interrupted the second leader.

"Then what do you need, you say, I promise you!" The second leader spoke with a crying tone.

"Do you really promise anything?"

"Really! It's true! I promise everything, I just ask you to spare me and my son's life. The second leader grabbed Arte's armor skirt like a life-saving thatch.

Art glanced at Angus, who smiled lightly, and then walked over to help the second leader who was kneeling on the ground, but the second leader said that he didn't dare to get up.

"Get up." Art bent down and pretended to support the tearful second leader on the ground, and the guy on the ground finally stood up tremblingly.

"If I'm not mistaken, your name is Redogan, Redogan Fay, isn't it?"

"Yes, my lord, I was originally a commoner in the north of the county, and I really couldn't survive to become a robber. If you can get around me, I'm willing to stay and be your slave. "Now that life is at stake, the second leader can't care about anything else.

"Being a slave can be put aside, and now I have a more important task for you."

The second leader was confused, he really couldn't think of what kind of task a knight lord would give to a bandit leader, but now he was finally sure that he and his son's heads were saved, at least temporarily.

"Sir, what kind of task do you say?"

"How many bandits do you have left?" Art asked.

The second leader of "This" thought that Art was trying to wipe out the remaining hard-working brothers under his command, so he hesitated.

"Don't worry, I don't look down on your little minions." Art guessed the other party's concerns.

The second leader relaxed a little and replied respectfully: "I am only the second leader, and the big leader has always held power alone, and I only have about a dozen old and weak subordinates on weekdays. Originally, there were more than 150 of us, but a few days ago you and your warriors killed more than half of them, and the rest fled for their lives. Now I have thirteen older brothers around me who are willing to follow me, and then there are a few families who have nowhere else to go. ”

"You are bandits and you bring your family ???" Art looked incredulous.

"Yes, my lord, most of the people who go into the mountains to become bandits can't survive, and they are hard to live as untouchables, and being a robber is just to let their wives and children have a bite to eat," the second leader looked helpless.

"You have food to eat as robbers, and the common peasants who have been plundered will starve to death. Alright, I won't talk any more nonsense with you, from today onwards, you and your minions don't have to worry about starvation, I'll provide for you. Art said sharply.

The second leader blinked, not understanding what Art meant, "Master, I didn't understand what you meant. ”

"From this day forward, you and your men are my subordinates."

"You mean to let me and my brothers join you as soldiers?" The second leader was very surprised, and it was much better to be a soldier who could eat food and get paid than to be a robber and mountain bandit who was afraid all day long.

Angus, who was on the side, couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words of the second leader, "You have a good idea to become a soldier?" Do you think you can be a soldier with all the bastards under your hands? ”

"What do you mean?"

Yate patted the second leader on the shoulder and said, "From today onwards, I will appoint you as the bandit suppressor under the jurisdiction of the Border Patrol Officer, and with reference to the treatment of soldiers in my army, I will be paid seventy pfennig per month for the leader. ”

Before the second leader could react, Art said again: "However, the position of the bandit suppressor is hidden, and your other identity is a bandit leader who is active in Tinets County, and I am the shadow hidden behind you. ”

Although the second leader is honest, he is by no means stupid, after listening to Art's words, he chewed it carefully, and somewhat understood Arte's deep meaning, raised his head and said: "My lord, tell me, what do you need me to do?" ”

Seeing that the second leader immediately changed his name for himself, Art knew that he had chosen the right person, and his eyes when he looked at the second leader softened a lot.

"Redogan, I like to deal with smart people, and I'm lucky you're a smart person."

Art said and sat back on the wooden chair, pointing to a low stool in the tent and motioning for the second leader to sit down, but the second leader did not dare to sit at all, and stood respectfully in front of Art with his waist bowed slightly and waited for Art to order.

"I know you bandits have been crippled by me, and I don't need you to do anything big for me these days. When you go back, do three little things. One is to stabilize your brothers who have been following you and prevent them from scattering; The second is to try to absorb some scattered bandits to expand your team, and when absorbing people, you must choose it, and don't mix in any miscellaneous pieces; The third is to find out the traces of several powerful bandits in the county, and after a while, I will send troops to clear them, and when I beat them to the ground, you will absorb a group of remnant bandits. ”

Arte paused and whispered to the bandit leader: "The third thing, I need you to help me keep an eye on Lane Manor, I heard that a group of bandits came out of Lane Manor some time ago, and you kept an eye on them for me......"

Art whispered.

"As for the future, I'll arrange it."

The bandit leader Lei Doan nodded repeatedly, indicating that he was completely obedient to Art's arrangement.

"My lord, since I am now your subordinate, can I bring my son back?" The bandit leader Raydogan asked in a low voice.

Art smiled, "You want your son to go back and continue to be a bandit?" Your son doesn't have to go back with you for the time being, I'll put him in my territory to take care of him, and if he behaves well, I can take him with me as an attendant. It's much better to follow me than to be a robber with you, isn't it? ”

Seeing that Lei Doan was still worried, Art said with relief: "Don't worry, as long as you do things for me, your son will definitely have no worries." In the future, if you want to send other family members to my territory to enjoy a good life, you can do that. ”

The bandit leader Redogan knew that Art wanted to take his son hostage, but that was the only way to do it as it was.

Seeing that Redogan's face had regained his composure, Art pointed at Angus and said, "This is Angus, the adjutant of my army, and he will be responsible for contacting you in the future." ”

Redogan hurriedly bowed deeply to Angus.

Angus also smiled and said: "Congratulations, bandit officer Lei Dogan, you will be our person in the future." Ten days later, at noon, I will take three men to escort a batch of food supplies allocated to you to the entrance of the birch grove on the north side of the trade road, where you will bring a few men you can trust to receive it. The three people I brought to escort the supplies are the bandits captured five days ago, and you all know them, so they stay to help you do things, and you arrange a small boss position for them. ”

Art added, "I can tell you for sure that I have eyeliner among them, but if you dare to let them go or kill them, I will chop off your son's finger with my own hands." ”

"No, no, no! Absolutely not, I swear absolute loyalty to you to God. The bandit leader Lei Doan hurriedly made a statement.

Seeing that things were almost done, Art stood up and picked up the money bag on the ground, took Redogan's hand and slapped it into his hand, "These three thousand pfennigs are even the military expenses I allocated to you to reorganize your team." What we're talking about today is not to let anyone know except you, you know? ”

Redogan nodded quickly and took the money bag that Art handed over for the second time.

"Alright, you can get out of here and start your duties as a bandit officer."
