Chapter 557: The Brotherhood of the Rabid Dog Trail
Return to Stormwind.
The group of people who suddenly appeared in the square was about a hundred people, most of them were dressed in a variety of ways, the only thing in common was that they were shabby, and the weapons in their hands were also messy, and they were not regular troops at first glance, and almost all of them had traces of battle.
Shi frowned slightly, and immediately guessed their identities, because the leader was a familiar figure, although he hadn't seen it for a long time, he still recognized it immediately, not because he had a good memory, but because the other party's appearance was too outstanding.
This person has a tall figure that is rare among ordinary people, and his appearance is not ugly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a thick beard on his face full of meat, which should be full of ferocity and masculinity, but he has long soft black hair, like a waterfall, casually draped over his shoulders, with his truth, how awkward it looks.
What's even more strange is that he is obviously a good warrior, but he is wearing a set of church priest-style robes, because he has not been washed for too long, and he can't see the original color, I don't know where he grabbed it, it is obviously a few sizes smaller, and the original loose robe is worn on his burly body, which is actually tight.
This shape full of grooves is unforgettable, so the stone can recognize him immediately.
The president of the "Brotherhood of Gundred", the "High Priest of the Villains" Gonslieb.
The identities of these people behind him are about to come out, naturally they are the robbers who robbed their homes on the "Rabid Dog Trail", as well as their families.
Bandits don't jump out of the stones, most of them are because they can't stand the exploitation and oppression of the lord, or they have committed something, so they can only flee with their families and become outcasts, but because the land of the "border prince's territory" is barren, the better places are occupied, and it is the same to work for the lord in a different place, so many people simply fall into the grass and make a living by robbing caravans on the main transportation routes.
But to be honest, the profession of a bandit is purely high-risk and low-reward, and there is no career development, the most important thing is that if the boss's eyesight is not good, he encounters hard stubble, and he will lose his life.
Don't look at Gonslieb's wild appearance, but he is quite talented in this regard, after becoming the president of the Brotherhood, he has always only picked soft persimmons and pinched them, and will never touch those teams with a large number of guards or hired a lot of mercenaries, the "Brotherhood of Gundred" has grown stronger and stronger in his hands, and has become the number one existence in the bandit organization with many "Rabid Dog Trails".
Don't think that this is an easy thing, although because of the special geographical location, the caravan walking on this choke point connecting the East and the West has been endless, but the competition is also extremely fierce, if you want to survive, on the one hand, as I just said, you must choose a good target, on the other hand, you must always be on guard against your peers, and even your own subordinates to do things, so in a sense, this Gonslieb is definitely a talent.
It's just that as the saying goes, often walking by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet, there will always be a day when you miss.
No, the "Brotherhood of Gundred" was driven by money, and was used as a gunman, and together with some other bandits, they carried a big heel in the "Thunder Bluff" and suffered heavy losses, but Gunslieb also kept an eye on it, and he didn't go, but in the end he was found by the enemy.
To his surprise, this green skin who broke into the door single-handedly overthrew all his subordinates by himself, and what he didn't expect was that the other party not only killed them, but also cooperated?
At first, of course, he wanted to refuse, but there was no way, his life was in the hands of others, and if he didn't obey, he would die, Gonslieb was a person who was afraid of death, and after listening to this greenskin's plan, he actually felt very funny, and even took the initiative to come out with it.
In this way, the entire brotherhood got on the stone thief ship, and joined forces with the "Forgiveness Mercenary Group", although not to mention making a fortune in the past two years, at least the lives of the brothers have been greatly improved, and the "Brotherhood of Gundred" has also become the only bandit organization in the "Rabid Trail", and the number of lost personnel has not only been replenished, but the number has directly swelled to three or four thousand after the incorporation of other forces.
It's just that those caravans are not stupid, after having a bloody lesson, they all began to take the initiative to hire people from the "Forgiveness Mercenary Group" to pass through this necessary road, and in the end, almost every caravan will hang the banner of the mercenary group's green grimace, and the business of the Brotherhood has dropped sharply, but the mouths waiting for food are several times more than before, and they can only barely survive on one-tenth of the "toll" alone.
Of course, these bandits did not want to go back to the hard life of the past, and many of them suggested to Gonslieb that since the Brotherhood was now strong, why not tear their faces and go it alone, watching those fat sheep pass under their noses but not be able to do it, it was too embarrassing.
But these proposals were all rejected by the high priest one by one, and he even personally killed a few guys who threatened to stand on their own, for the simple reason that the longer the cooperation lasted, the more he felt the power of the green skin.
Not only in terms of force, but also in terms of vision and the overall situation.
Gonslieb also has his own ambitions, he doesn't want to spend his whole life nesting in the mountains where birds don't poop as a bandit, why are those nobles born high, why can't he?
As long as you can become a master, even if you are a subordinate to Greenskin, you are willing!
When he received a letter from Stone asking him to take some of his men and all his family members to settle in "Stormwind Town", Gonslieb reversed his previous caution and left more than a thousand free people to take the initiative to leave the members of the Brotherhood who continued to collect money, and resolutely took all the other people and belongings to defect to the newly established human town.
Because he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come.
The stone had already greeted them, and the people of the Brotherhood easily passed through the "Fetanburg" that they had not dared to approach before, but then it was not so easy, and when they finally reached "Stormwind Town", only a few people were allowed to enter, and the others were still waiting outside, but they also happened to witness the miracle that happened in the square.
Like everyone else, the Brotherhood was speechless in shock, and the silence was broken until the sound of hurried footsteps came from behind them.
A dozen or so disorganized mercenaries rushed out carrying a stretcher, on which was a young mercenary covered in blood and unconscious, and the others were also scarred, looking like they had just finished the battle.
The sharp-eyed guy in the front row immediately called out the name of the mercenary on the stretcher.
"Little Marceau! It's little Marceau, has anyone seen Aunt Sophie! It's her son! It seems like it's dying! ”
