''Speak, you scumbags!'' ‘’

After the battle, the captured robbers had their hands tied, crouched together, and looked at John with a fierce expression in their frightened eyes.

[Battle victory, one-handed proficiency +1, two-handed proficiency +2;]

[6* The untrained Swadia militia has met the conditions and has been upgraded to the Swadia militia; 】

It turns out that Byron was right in his decision after Bandak misunderstood him and the bandit leader shot his head.

And after Fatis led the cavalry to kill, the bandits also lost their fighting spirit and began to flee. However, Byron ordered a brief pursuit, so the retreat quickly turned into a rout, and the remaining robbers, except for a few who had burrowed into the woods and disappeared, were killed by the caravan guards and Fatis, or stabbed and slashed prisoners.

At the end of the battle, fourteen of the twenty-eight robbers (known to the prisoners of interrogation) were killed, eight were captured, and two were about to die.

And Byron also killed a militiaman on his side, and the real militia who followed Byron from the beginning, wounded six people. Jamila had already taken care of them during the battle, medicated and bandaged them.

Byron admired Jamila even more at this time, he had a sword in the battle just now, and he also captured a prisoner, and even Byron was inferior to her in terms of swordsmanship.

Of course, there is also a caravan escort's traveling horse that has died, and it is necessary to find another one in a town.

Now the wounded were all sitting on the ground resting, and the rest of the people, except for John, who was guarding the prisoners, and another militiaman, were busy cleaning up the battlefield. This is another benefit of Jamila joining, an attentive and experienced female nurse is better than three careless mercenaries.

"Bear with me, I'll help you pull out the arrow..."

Bandak and Jamila helped to treat wounds together, and after being in the army for a long time, he knew a lot about these trauma treatments.

"Although one of our comrades left us, we won beautifully, and these wrongdoers finally got the punishment they deserved."

Fatis said to Byron with relief.

Obviously, the elimination of these bandits gave the righteous Fatis a sense of satisfaction.

For Byron, however, the actual benefits were more attractive to him than these spiritual riches.

The equipment on these bandits is valuable, and if you find their lair and get in, you can get a lot of money!

And although one militia died, because there was a lot of combat experience in this battle, and the previous training was also effective, those unqualified militiamen are now also qualified, but they have earned a bunch of militiamen.

This may be a bit of a contempt for life, but in this era of frequent wars, the lives of ordinary people are no more precious to those in power than a pocket of silver coins.

Under John's interrogation, the captured bandits confessed their hiding place, which was a cave in a worthless hill, where they still had a few men left.

From the robbers, Byron took off seven pieces of chain mail, which they could wear after repairing. There were also more than twenty pieces of leather armor, several arm armor and old-fashioned shin armor, as well as piles of weapons and seventeen working bows.

Among them, the war hammer on the waist of the bandit leader and the heavy axe in his hand are of the best quality, both of which are armor-piercing weapons. Byron gave the hammer to Bandak and the axe to Fatis.

This kind of warhammer is naturally not the big scary thing in many games, but similar to a hammer, but heavier, the hammer is bigger, and the lethality is stronger, and even the plate armor can't stop the hammer of this thing.

The captured weapons and armor Byron gave to his soldiers to watch and arm themselves, and sold the rest.

Of course, Byron also kept the robber leader's arm guards and iron plate shin armor for himself, so that he could also have a set of armor.

After the distribution was completed, Byron's soldiers brought the equipment with them, and they also needed to find a village and town for the blacksmith to repair the armor and weapons, or improve the size before they could use them.

As for the cost of repairs, Byron naturally topped them with useless armor and clothing.

Of course, because of the bandits' hygiene, Byron demanded that all these things be cleaned well, and that they should be infected with diseases or fleas.

After a short rest, Byron and Bandak took the uninjured soldiers to find the robbers' hideout.

Fatis did not advise Byron to go in person, but Byron had his own reasons.

Of course, it's not the reason why the protagonist of the novel is so lonely that the reader can watch the show, but because of Byron's goldfinger effect, that is, the location of the loot can be seen, this cheating effect is too suitable for dirty.

Byron was still very careful, although he brought four militiamen and three caravan guards, and Bandak was by his side to protect him, and a prisoner to lead the way, but the danger was still there.

So they kept moving cautiously so as not to be taken into a trap by their captives.

But fortunately, this guy is not lying, Byron and they did find the cave, and the escaped bandits at the entrance of the cave are panicking and explaining to the thieves guarding the cave everything that happened before.

By this time, the four militiamen and Bandak had already wound their crossbow arrows. And the captive was gagged so that he wouldn't make any noise that would spoil the operation.

But the rest went well. The crossbow arrows were fired, and one of the bandits hung up directly, two lost their combat effectiveness, and the remaining two or three people also drew their weapons and looked around in horror, and then were stabbed seven or eight times with spears and swords by the caravan guards and militiamen who rushed up.

In this way, Byron eliminated the bandits, and with the guidance of the yellow arrows, he found the chest buried in the cave. A box more than one meter long and about forty centimeters wide.

In addition, although the sanitary conditions are a little worse, the basic daily necessities in the cave are still very complete, and the bed made of hay is okay to sleep on. In addition, there are many weapons and bows in the corners, which can be taken away for money. Byron also found in it the items from the previous batch of chaotic soldiers, and even their bloodstains.

And there are a lot of food and wine reserves here, but the quality is too poor for Byron to look down on. The quality of those hides is okay, and they can be washed and dried and used to cover them when camping at night.

Although it was locked, with the warhammer in hand, it was not difficult to open the chest.

Just as Byron had done when he exterminated the robbers near Paraven, when the box was opened, there were a lot of silver coins, dozens of silver and a few pieces of gold, two folded expensive velvet gowns, and many crafts and jewels that Byron did not know the price of, and it seemed that many people had planted them in the hands of these bandits. What is certain, however, is that the total value of these things is more than two thousand dinars.

That's a lot of money for such a gang of bandits. No wonder they can become the largest gang of robbers in the area, they do have enough money to expand their strength, but unfortunately they haven't used the real strength of this money before Byron copied their hometown and made Byron rich.

Byron and each of his men returned to their previous garrison with a number of things, put them in wagons, and took the captives to the next village.

On the way, Byron and his team met a patrolling Rhodok force, who told the soldiers the news, and then the team rushed with Byron to Viruga.

Either way, Byron got a good result. The booty of the robber leaders and the robbers' captives were enough to prove Byron's merits, and they were to receive a bounty and legally possess the robbers' spoils as their own property.

By the way, by cleaning up the captured booty, Byron could get a large sum of money again. For Byron now, more money is naturally better.
