The bandit leader and his two most confidant men rushed all the way under the "cover" of the minions and bandits, marching towards the bandits' lair; And Art, who had just finished the battle, rushed directly to the mountain bandits' lair with a few sentinels who had taken off their heavy iron armor.

In the mountain bandits' lair, a few of the remaining mountain bandit minions are looking forward to it, if this time the leader can take the guys to successfully grab the fat convoy, they will have a meal of bread and broth for a long time in the future, and they risk losing their heads and escape into the mountains to become bandits, in order to be able to eat and drink enough.

A mountain bandit had just taken advantage of the departure of most of the mountain bandits, and quietly sneaked into the room on the edge of the bandit's lair where the peasant women were held for a good time, and was walking out with his pants up, when he saw several hurried shadows running towards him.

"Hey! Man, why did you get back first? Has the caravan already been snatched? The bandit yelled at several dark shadows.

The answer is not a human word, but a light arrow that goes straight to the throat......

"Ron, you take Jason to scout around, and use arrows to warn you of enemy situations. The rest of the people rest for a while and follow me in, there are not many bandits left in the bandits' nest, the leader of the bandits should not have come back yet, we will wait for the bandit leader to return to the nest after killing all the bandits left behind~" Art stopped and rested for a while, so as to recover the physical strength consumed by running all the way.

"Sergeant Major, you take two people to go around from behind the ruins, and I take two people to attack from the front, according to my previous observations, there are only four or five mountain bandits left behind in this ruin, after killing them all, hide the corpses, and we will gather in the open space in the middle of the ruins in a while."

With that, Art drew the sword from his waist and led Red and Lusignan forward.

Killing two unsuspecting mountain bandits along the way, the two teams of Art and Angus successfully converged in the clearing in the middle of the ruins.

After a while, Ron ran into the ruins, and reported that the leader of the bandits was leading the two guys towards the front door of the ruins.

The crowd didn't have time to rest, so they quickly hid in a few piles of weeds in front of the ruins and hid.

Sure enough, after a few moments, the leader of the mountain bandits, who abandoned his men on the battlefield and fled for his life alone, dragged his heavy steps into the ruins.

"Miscellaneous~ mongrel, what about the cripple them? This group of mongrels must have taken advantage of our departure to entertain those mothers-in-law~ Miscellaneous! The three leaders of the mountain bandits cursed the minions who stayed behind in the bandits' nest while helping the leader to advance into the ruins.

"Don't~ Leave it alone~ Took the money~ Pack up your things~ Hurry up and run, if this place is known by those guys, it should be chased over." The leader of the mountain bandits thought about quickly packing up the valuable belongings in the bandits' lair, and quickly escaped with a few mountain bandit minions.

Unexpectedly, before the leader's words fell, a light arrow whistled and pierced into the chest of the three leaders, and then several ghosts rushed out from both sides of the ruins, surrounding the leaders and several people......

"My lord~I~I surrender~" The leader of the mountain bandits showed a look of despair in his eyes, his feet were weak, and he fell to his knees......

The Artsians took down the leader of the mountain bandits without much effort.

The next step was to torture the leader and the few remaining mountain bandits, forcing them to ask about the valuables in the bandits' lair, which is why Art would go to great lengths to lead people into the bandits' lair to capture the leader alive.

According to common sense, as a group of bandit lairs with dozens of minions, it should have been able to scavenge a lot of gold, silver and valuable goods here, but this time Art and they were disappointed.

Art is facing a group of ambitious bandits. Originally, after participating in the attack on the southbound grain convoy last year, the leader of the mountain bandits returned to the bandits' lair to take over the goods left by the bandits, and the money in his hands was more than 10,000. Later, he led seven or eight of his bandits to rob pedestrians and small villages in the surrounding areas, and also gained a lot, and the money in his hands once exceeded 30,000 fennig. However, since the second leader of the bandits joined, the money in the leader's hands has become less and less. Because the new leader of the second mountain bandit is very ambitious, he hopes to become the largest group of mountain bandits within tens of miles of the southern hills of Sapu, and they even give themselves the name of the Mountain Wolf Legion. In order to realize their ambition, the bandits raided and expanded their ranks while purchasing weapons and equipment from all over the world. As a result, there were more and more people, but less and less money, and they had no choice but to march to the rich Sapp, but they were pierced by iron nails......

"MD, you've met a bunch of pretentious poor bandits!!" Angus cursed and kicked the bandit leader hard.

Ron said on the side: "Sergeant Major, it's still an acquaintance~ He said that the grain convoy that attacked last year was escorted by us, and this guy must be the few mountain bandits who escaped, but I didn't expect to meet it again now~ It's really fate~" Ron also kicked the leader hard.

Art sat on a broken stool in the middle of the room, scooped a bowl of wheat paste from the iron pot, picked up a wooden spoon and ate a few bites. He thought he would be able to seize a lot of money, but after torturing the leader and raiding the entire bandit's nest, he found five thousand pfennighs of silver and some worthless food.

"My lord, what should I do, do you want to kill all these bandits?" Angus came in and asked Art.

Art threw the wooden bowl in his hand and said, "Killed? Cheap them too! Tie them up and bring them back to camp, and I'm going to give them a long memory! ”

So, after returning almost empty-handed, the Artsians released the peasant women who were imprisoned in the bandits' lair, and returned to the convoy camp with the bandit leader and a few minions who were tied hand and foot.

…………

Felix ran out of the camp to greet Yat and his party, who were escorting the bandit leader back, and said excitedly: "Lord Art, you caught the bandit leader?" Great, it's all right now, and all of them are sent back to Sapp with the leader, and their heads are dropped on Sap's wall, to see if anyone dares to look down on Sap. ”

"Felix, what about the other bandits?"

"All tied to the wagon. A few of the bandits broke free from the ropes and resisted while you were leaving, slashing three of our guards, and then I led them to slaughter. ”

Art was furious: "What did you do TM? The captured captives actually took a bite back!! Idiot!! ”

In the previous battle, five or six guards were cut down by bandits, and after the battle, three more were killed, and the elite guards who had worked hard to train were actually so powerful, how could Yate not be dishonored.

Felix was indeed carried away by the victory and was paralyzed for a while, and was reprimanded by Art, but he was still unconvinced, "How can there be immortals in a war~"

Art didn't want to say more to this always arrogant gentleman, "These are the elites of your father's men, think about how to explain when you go back!" ”

Felix knew that he was in danger of causing a catastrophe, and he didn't dare to argue with Art, so he asked in a low voice, "Lord Art, what about the remaining captives?" ”

"Pick the bandit and cut off the head, and let the rest of the minions go~" Art said calmly.

"What? Lady Art, I must have heard me wrong, right? Felix couldn't believe his ears.

Art handed over the bandit leader to Ron and tied him into the camp, turned to look at Felix and said, "Felix, you heard it right, I plan to release all these mountain bandit minions~"

"Why? Do you want to keep them entrenched in the mountains? Felix questioned.

"Felix, you listen to me finish."

"I let them all go because I knew that I would not be able to wipe out all the bandits in the southern hills and the valleys and forests around Sarp, and even if we killed them all today, it would not be long before bandits would attack your caravans, and even look down on the rich Sarp Fort. If we can leave the deepest memory of these bandits, and then let them go, maybe through their mouths, we can let all the bandits around them know that Sapp can't be provoked. ”

"Think about it~ Can we kill all the bandits?"

Without waiting for Felix to think about it, Art instructed Angus and Ron: "Send the order to go down and let the guards and soldiers of Sapp inquire one by one to find the head of the bandit, and the rest of the minions will all cut off their big toes and the thumb of their right hand, and then tell them that in the future, if anything that belongs to the family of Baron Galvin of Sappburg, if the bandits in the mountains dare to move the slightest, the fate will be like this."

Angus and Ron went down to organize Tharp's bodyguards and soldiers to torture the fifteen or sixteen mountain bandits who were being held, and for a time the convoy camp was full of wailing and miserable conditions......

And the leader of the bandits, as an old acquaintance of Arte, was not executed, he enjoyed special treatment, two toes and two fingers were cut off, one of the ears was cut off, and one of the eyes was gouged out alive, after these punishments, Arte had the leader wrapped in a thick rag to stop his bleeding, and then handed him over to the bandits who had severed their hands and ears and cut off their heads, and Arte had seven or eight bandits beheaded in front of all the bandits who had survived, and ordered the remaining bandits to roll out of the camp with these bloody heads in their arms, and to flee for their lives.

"You remember me! Today's punishment is the black-robed Frontier Patrolman, the Court Guard Knight and Southern Frontier Patrol Officer Art Wood Wells! ”

These were the last words that Art yelled at the departing bandits.

............

"Lord Art, you are using this trick to deter the bandits in the mountains!" Felix somewhat understood what Art meant.

"Felix, I said we can't kill all the bandits, and a lot of the words are passed on by the bandits themselves than we boast about ourselves." Art said as he looked at the departing back.

"Yes, in this way, all the mountain bandits should know your prestige~" Felix's voice was deep but full of respect.

Seeing that Felix was not in a good mood, Art knew that his words of reprimanding him just now were a bit too heavy, and encouraged him loudly: "Felix, don't be careless on the battlefield in the future, any mistake may put the life of the brother who accompanies him day and night in danger." However, your performance in battle this time is not bad, and I will tell your father the truth about your achievements when I return to Sap. ”

"Alright, let's go back to Sap, we still have dead and wounded soldiers who need to be treated and buried." Then he turned back and walked into the camp, and ordered the camp to be closed and return to Sap......

…………

The battle in the southern hills soon spread all around, and the stones that had been hanging high over Sapp for days finally fell, and the people hiding in the Sapp Fort began to return to their farms and houses one after another to rebuild their homes.

The cruelty and notoriety of the "Black-robed Border Patrolmen" gradually spread among the bandits, and while vowing to kill these demons, they also reminded themselves in their hearts not to provoke these bloodthirsty fellows in the future.

As a word of mouth, Art and his soldiers stayed in Fort Sapp for six days after returning from the bandits, they trained more than 20 territory guards for Baron Galvin, and then took Baron Galvin's only son Felix into the legion for training, and Art also discussed with Baron Galvin that he would send a few elite legion backbones to Sapborough at the right time to continue training soldiers for Baron Galvin.

Baron Galvin also showed his generosity, not only by giving Art a military horse, a set of iron-clad armor, and three pairs of composite cotton armor (armed clothes), but also promising to temporarily divide one of his trade routes to Art's caravan until Art opened up his own trade route.

After completing the engagement ceremony with Miss Lottie and relieving the Sapp crisis, he left Sapp with Angus Ron and Jason Red, who had recovered from minor injuries, and drove back to the Valley Knights......
