Vaughn walked ahead, occasionally looking back at the flatbed truck pushed by two militiamen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Looking at the 'trophies' piled up on the flatbed truck, the young militia captain had excitement on his face that could not be hidden, especially the two pieces of leather armor, which made the young man can't help but slow down, raise his hand, and touch the leather armor again.

The leather armor is made of a mixture of cowhide and wild boar skin, and is sewn with hemp rope made of sword spine grass and cow tendons, which is not only strong and reliable, but also has a strong defense against chopping.

Not to mention the leather armor itself!

When Vaughn found the leather armor, he tested it himself.

Of course, young people are reluctant to test real guns, but in a more ingenious way - a hunter's feeling for skins.

He can guarantee that this leather armor will not only be able to face the slash of the sword, but also be extremely defensive against arrows.

At least, an ordinary bow and crossbow would not be able to break through the defenses of this leather armor within 20 meters.

The young man couldn't help but fantasize in his mind about what he would look like in this leather armor.

Of course, Vaughn's character determined that he would not give up these two pieces of leather armor, and he would give them all to Qin Ran, just like other 'trophies'.

Vessels of brass, and a few of them of silver.

A lot of copper, a small bag of silver coins, and six gold coins.

That's all there is to the loot.

It's not as valuable as Qin Ran imagined, but it's not bad.

"The coins will be left, and the vessels will be distributed to everyone according to their performance tonight."

"As for the two pieces of leather armor...... Vaughn can have one, don't shirk, you're good enough to have such a piece of leather armor. ”

"The rest is hung in the police station - whoever performs well in the next mission and operation will be its master."

"Of course, you'll have to show enough common sense about leather and nail care."

Qin Ran stood in front of the militia and said loudly.

The fair to generous rewards were unanimously embraced by the militia.

And the slightly humorous words made the militia burst into laughter.

Therefore, no one objected to Qin Ran's next order, even if they stayed up all night.

"I know you're tired, but Gravel still needs us to protect it."

"Vaughn, you divide everyone into two groups and try to find a balance between rest and patrol as much as possible."

"Also, we need more people to expand the team, and after the task is arranged, you can come to me for detailed discussions."

Qin Ran commanded.

"Got it, sir."

The young man, who couldn't wait to change into new leather armor, said loudly.

And as always, it is resolute.

About ten minutes later, Vaughn returned to the security station, looking at Qin Ran who was sitting in a chair and Mayor Hall who was standing on the side, and the young man greeted him politely.

"My lord, Mayor Mare."

Qin Ran nodded and motioned for the other party to sit down, then said, "I need to expand the militia to about fifty people." ”

"You also need a full set of weapons and equipment, and these people must have a certain combat foundation."

"My lord, this is impossible!"

"The resident population of Gravel Town is only about three hundred, which is not enough to make up the number you requested, not to mention the need for a full set of weapons, equipment and a certain combat foundation."

Faced with Qin Ran's proposal, the young man immediately shook his head, indicating that it was impossible.

"The resident population of Gravel Town is not good, we can start with those caravan guards and mercenaries, some of them are willing to continue to wander, but there are also people who are tired of wandering and want to settle down, these people are all we can fight for, I hope Vaughn you will find reliable and trustworthy people from these people in the next few days."

"Then, I'll go and convince them personally."

"As for weapons and equipment?"

"As mercenaries and guards, their armor and weapons will not be bad."

Qin Ran didn't speak, and Hall on the side said instead of Qin Ran.

Hall, who was controlled by Qin Ran, had already given priority to Qin Ran's will, and just when Qin Ran spoke, he thought of what to do.

Compared to the previous review of official documents, which had no information about the anomalies around him, Hale did not want to fail this time.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

The young man didn't have much confidence to say.

However, the operation remained efficient.

When the young man left, Hall turned to look at Qin Ran, waiting for the order.

Qin Ran didn't pause, and commanded directly.

"Not only will the number of militia be expanded, but you will also need to help me bring back a fortune and fifty high-quality war horses."

"I gave you a chance, and I hope you don't let me down."

"Snark, Blue, and Wylie are the two of you left to work with Vaughn to protect the town, and one of them is left to help Hale bring back what belongs to us."

"Yes, sir."

The person who is named one by one should bow down immediately.

Then, all of them acted in unison.

Old Vic was the only one left, standing there worriedly.

"My lord, are you going to go to that guy's secret stronghold alone?"

Old Vic asked tentatively.

"Of course not."

"It's two people, you and me."

The first half of the sentence made Old Vic breathe a sigh of relief, but the second half of the sentence made Old Vic so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

"Great, sir, if this is a joke, it's not funny at all."

"I never doubted your strength, my lord, but that secret stronghold is not only heavily guarded, but also very weird, many people have fought its idea when it appeared, but in the end it all disappeared, disappeared silently, no one died, no corpse was seen."

"Please, my lord, I don't want to die so early."

"We can wait for the 'trading day' and enter when it opens, and there is no need to take such a big risk now."

Old Vic said almost pleadingly.

"Once a month, the last trading day ended three days ago, and it's really too long to wait for the next trading day."

"I don't have that much time."

"You can choose not to, and I'll hang you out of town right now."

Qin Ran said lightly.

But the tone is unquestionable.

Old Vic looked at Qin Ran sadly and stopped talking.

With those guys who had already been hanged, he knew that Qin Ran could do what he said.

Die for a while.

Or die now.

Old Vic knows what to choose.

"My lord, when are we leaving?"

Old Vic asked.

"Now."

Qin Ran gave a moment.

"Can you wait for me a little bit?"

"I'll need a few things that we might be able to use - rest assured, they're all things that don't pose any danger to you."

"A rooster, a she-cat, and a bundle of fresh grass."

Old Vic gave three names, and, as soon as he spoke, the innkeeper explained, "This is information that I have collected at great expense, and I originally wanted to ...... Hope they are useful. ”

Old Vic said vaguely.

There was no need to ask, Qin Ran also knew what the other party originally wanted to do.

It's nothing more than 'black. Eat. Black'.

Even if it was a short contact, it was enough for Qin Ran to understand what kind of heart the innkeeper in front of him who was as short as a dwarf had it.

However, Qin Ran was not interested in probing the heart of an old man with a dark and cunning personality, and his attention was attracted when the other party said the so-called secret stronghold before.

You know, it's called 'Secret City'.
