The First Arrival Chapter Twenty-Seven: Murder in the Dark

"It's time to part, Captain Scar." Yi Ye said.

"Yes, Boss Yi." Geng Scar replied.

Yi Ye gave them a carriage and its supplies, put them in civilian clothes, and pretended to be a caravan and went out of the city. Another carriage, Yi Ye, was given to Manid for use, and he was separated from Manid for a while.

After all, what he was going to do next was not honorable.

Excluding Manid's team, Yi Ye still has more than ninety people, which is not much, but he is not afraid of robbers along the way.

Yi Ye's pocket now only has living expenses and a week's salary for the troops, and these more than 40 mercenaries alone cost nearly 100 dinars per week, which is not a small amount for Yi Ye.

Geng Scar's troops and Yi Ye's troops parted in the southern forests of the central mountain range at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, and Yi Ye explained a lot of things before that.

After Manid left, the only person Yi Ye could talk to was Kress, and as for the two rugged captains, Yi Ye was not interested.

"It looks like a ninja."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Kress had used the dinar to buy a few daggers, as well as a short blade, and her clothes and trousers were made of pure black cloth, and her whole body was almost covered with black except for her eyes, which was good for hiding in the dark night, but it did not provide any protection.

Kress followed Yi Ye like a shadow, and her words became very few, and there was a big gap between her and when she first saw her.

"Kress, what do you think of the Kugit Empire established by Dastam Khan?"

"I'm not interested in politics."

"That's right."

"But I know it's not that easy to build a new country."

"That's true."

Yi Ye's next target is Deqiosburg, due to the current lack of resources in Swadia, the price of buying materials in the native town is relatively high, and there is no money to be made, and the castles near the border are mostly considering trading with neighboring countries, and these merchants are mercenary.

This castle is just in line with Yi Ye's current purpose.

With the exception of trading with Dehrim, much of the castle's trade came from Zhivadine in the Kingdom of Vecchia, and the closest way to Zhivadine would pass through the right side of the forest, unless they chose to take a detour. Many wealthy merchants were willing to take this risk, and the merchants who had oil and water were not so easy to bully, and they not only had their own personal guards, but also hired many caravans to escort them, and it was no problem to deal with this robber. However, if it's a flank from the inside out, it's a different story.

Yi Ye's little popularity was spread by the merchants who came and went, allowing Yi Ye to enter the city smoothly, originally he claimed that the caravan had no goods was very suspicious of the soldiers defending the city, but this kind of thing can be fooled by just finding an excuse, the important thing is identity, not an excuse.

Mercenaries have the advantage of being responsible for any expenses other than their salary, and the disadvantage is that they are paid well and can easily change hands.

Yi Ye and his team entered the city, and as always, they found a cheap tavern to rest.

With the help of this fame, Yi Ye is a lot more convenient, and many caravans are unwilling to hire Yi Ye, a little-known army.

After many requests were fruitless, Yi Ye had to resort to some means.

If a mercenary does not have a captain, it means that there is no one to pay his salary, and in general, he will break up unhappily.

Yi Ye took Cress to his room.

"Cress, you're an assassin, aren't you?" Yi Ye asked quietly.

"Yes."

"Mercenary captain, do you have faith?"

"Just give me a place." Kress said coldly.

"Room Nine on the third floor of the tavern next door."

"Command."

"Remember, Cress, your safety comes first, don't force it too hard."

Yi Ye understood that this was by no means a kind thing, but it was rather shameless, but he just couldn't swallow this breath, this feeling of being oppressed all the time made him breathless, he worked hard, tried to climb up. The road to fame is anything but easy.

Kress's efficiency is not ordinarily high.

That night, while everyone was enjoying dinner, news of the death of a mercenary army commander spread. Suddenly, the tavern began to boil, because most of the people in the tavern were mercenaries. Yi Ye was ready, but his heart was still tight, afraid that something would go wrong with Cress. It wasn't until a girl in civilian clothes walked up to him that he settled down, which was the civilian clothes that Yi Ye had prepared in advance.

Many people who didn't know the truth went to see the excitement, but Yi Ye ordered the troops to stay still and not to cause trouble.

Early the next morning, a large group of soldiers defending the city sealed the tavern next door tightly and began to investigate the matter.

Kress said that this was a fool's errand, because he had not entered the tavern at all, but had climbed up to the third floor in the middle of nowhere, and had thrown the dagger in his hand. Such daggers are everywhere and cannot be used as valid evidence. Yi Ye was very satisfied, and it only cost twenty dinars and one meal to accept such a killer, and he earned an unknown number of times.

Everything went as Yi Ye wished, and it didn't take long for the mercenary caravan owner to post a notice saying that he wanted to recruit a team of mercenaries.

Yi Ye did not take it immediately, but watched from the sidelines, so as to ensure that he would not be suspected.

The mercenary captain was assassinated, and what people suspected was not how many enemies the captain had, they were just acting on orders, but this employer was told a lot of gossip, what did he do blackheartedly and was retaliated against, and he was killed by vendetta and the like, which made Yi Ye a little embarrassed and a little afraid, if something happened in the future, he was afraid that he would be sprayed by these people.

These rumors made the merchant not successfully hire any team, he was anxious, there was no profit in the goods there, he raised the price of employment, but still no one cared.

One crisp morning, Yi Ye found this employer.

"This boss, I heard you're recruiting mercenaries."

"Yes, sir, would you like to be my caravan guard, I will mention the highest price...... You don't have to worry. ”

"These are all secondary, but I heard that you have some enemies or something that caused the captain to be killed."

"Phew, those are all idle nonsense, these Diao people are afraid of the peace of the world."

"But there is no wind and no waves."

"Just say it, do you want it or not, I'm mentally prepared."

"Of course we do, so where do we go?" Yi Ye asked knowingly.

"That's great, sir, our caravan is not a very long way from here to Zhivadin......"

After Yi Ye negotiated with him, he sorted out the team and was ready to set off at any time.

Yi Ye followed this caravan out of the city, and it was quite calm along the way, and he encountered several teams of robbers, but the other party had no intention of robbing until the night, and they camped outside the forest.

The team had set up camp outside the forest, and the employer was quite experienced and knew that it was not wise to cross the forest at night, but this happened to create an opportunity for Yi Ye.

Late at night, one of Yi Ye's team slipped into the forest quietly, this was someone from Geng Scar's team, who had already gone to ventilate and report the news.

In fact, Yi Ye's team took advantage of the night to rob this caravan, most mercenaries only need you to take money, he will do things, and always put interests first. It's just that these people are all drunkards one by one, and when the news gets out, Yi Ye won't want to mix it up.

Yi Ye went to the black market and bought a little medicine, similar to sleeping pills, in short, it can make people fall asleep for a while. However, this is not something that everyone can buy, and it needs to be introduced, and it is Ramon who introduces Yi Ye.

Now, except for Yi Ye and the people who reported the news, they should all fall asleep.

Next to the slight firelight, Yi Ye sat alone next to him, and recalled many past events, he was a person who often recalled the past, because he felt that this would not forget too much, glory or shame should be remembered, but now Yi Ye's memories have no highlights.

I don't know how long it took, Yi Ye also dozed off.

"Boss Yi. Wake up. A voice woke Yi Ye up.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Geng Scar's face, Yi Ye was still too young, if Geng Scar had murderous intentions at this time, Yi Ye could be said to have lost all his efforts. Once again, back on the pirate ship.

Fortunately, Geng Scar is not that kind of person, although he is a robber, but he is also forced to do so, his thinking is very simple, whoever is good to him, he will be good to whom.

"Geng Scar, you're here." Yi Ye froze.

"Go pack up the men and the caravan."

"Yes."

Yi Ye looked at the piece of fat in front of him, which could double Yi Ye's team at once, not only the three carts full of goods, the more than 20 hunting horses, and many high-quality weapons and equipment made Yi Ye very excited, but also the more than 2,000 dinars in the employer's pocket, which made Yi Ye's heart pound.

But almost all of these belong to Geng Scar, because there are so many extra things out of thin air, which is very suspicious. But Nadinar Yiye took most of it mercilessly.

After a bit of work, the caravan's belongings were cleaned. The more than 20 people were also stripped to only their underwear. Yi Ye just ordered Geng Scar to tie them up, and then sell them to slave traders to make another profit.

Looking at their figures as they gradually moved away, Yi Ye let out a long sigh, it was time to think about what excuses to make.

The caravan disappeared without a trace, and you, the mercenary, remained intact? It doesn't make sense.

"I have an idea." A voice came out coldly.

Yi Ye was excited, broke out in a cold sweat, and turned his head.

"It's you, Kress, can you please not scare me." Yi Ye touched his chest.

"Can't it be me?"

"No, it's okay, eh, why aren't you unconscious?"

"I can smell your medicine."

"Before that, you were ......"

"Just play dead. I didn't expect you to do this kind of thing. ”

"So, what do you want to do?" Yi Ye clenched his sword.

"No, no, no, I'm not interested in what you're doing."

"Really?" Yi Ye relaxed.

"You're wondering how to explain this tomorrow, right?"

"Indeed."

"The best way to solve a problem is to solve the problem itself."

"Tell me more about it."

"Since you're thinking about how to explain this to these people tomorrow, why don't you ......?"

"Why not as good as what?"

"Arrest them too."
