Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Hump Forest Slave Traders

The slave trader and his party walked in front with about fifty slaves, and Witt and his party supervised in the back, one is that there should always be some danger in the back of the strange team, but the slave traders' team is in front, and every move is easy to supervise. As soon as Witt stepped out of the city gate, he saw a group of people standing on the side of the road looking around, looking very anxious. When he saw Witt and his gang coming, he was instantly overjoyed.

Witt recognized at a glance that these people were the gang of robbers who had colluded with the tavern owner yesterday morning, and Rum and the others also noticed the abnormal behavior of the other party, and immediately clenched the hilt of the sword in their hands to prevent accidents.

"My lord! We've been waiting for you for a long time, and we've finally been looking forward to you, whether it's a coincidence or not. The robber, who was still in the lead, said flatteringly.

Witt was quite disdainful of this kind of villainous person, but he didn't show it directly, but he didn't pay attention to him, just waiting for the other party to report his intentions.

Seeing that Witt and his party ignored him, the robber did not care, but showed an anxious expression, and continued: "My lord, you have to save a few of our brothers! Now our leader, the tavern owner you were with yesterday, knows that it was a few of us who betrayed him, and once he finds out our whereabouts, our brothers will definitely die without a place to bury, and we will not be able to stay any longer, but our brothers have grown up in Riwache, and there is nowhere else to go except here. If the adults are willing to take us in, we are willing to draw a sword for the adults to serve, and we will not hesitate! ”

In fact, after Witt left the tavern yesterday, these people followed all the way and inquired about all kinds of news. Seeing that Witt seemed to be in close proximity with the Kachi family, the great merchants in the city, the robbers stayed overnight in their factory, and the next day they bought a large number of slaves at a great price to return to Fesdna. The robbers had never been to Fesdena, but they had been to Vizan, not far from the city, a few times. Since Fesdena and Vidner are villages, they must also be a very prosperous village, and Witt should be the noble son of a large family in Fesdena, and it is not wrong to follow him. So the gang of robbers waited in advance on the outer city path of the road from Witt to Festedna, and this was the scene that happened.

Hearing this, Rum immediately frowned, and said to Witt: "Lord, these people are typical of the grass on the wall, do not let them enlist in the army, if they do, they may turn against us again in the future, and may bring us immeasurable losses, I suggest that they be executed here." ”

Although the robber did not understand why Rum called Witt "the lord of the village", when he heard that Rum had bad intentions towards him, he immediately did not think so much, and explained: "My lord, we will never betray you, and we promise to be loyal to you, and we will never have two hearts. ”

"The owner of the village ......"

"Okay, I've got my own measure!" Rum saw that Witt was still hesitating, and wanted to continue to persuade, but was directly interrupted by Witt. Witt continued: "I can give you a few chances to take you in, but if I find out that you have betrayed me, you can imagine for yourself, once I kill you, I will not be merciful!" ”

"Thank you, Lord for taking it in! We will be loyal to you! The robbers were overjoyed and immediately knelt down in thanksgiving.

In fact, Witt took them in because of his other plans. This kind of three-religion and nine-rate disciple, although he is greedy for life and afraid of death, he can do everything. Such a person is as cunning as a gopher, and is best suited to work as an intelligence searcher, and does not yet attract much attention from the local guards. Besides, this kind of person is a wallworm who may abandon you at any time, and acting as an intelligence searcher can save the lives of other brothers, but the biggest weakness is that it may leak our secrets, so you need to be cautious about using such people. Well arranged, the pros outweigh the cons.

"Okay, stop inking, it's a long trip today, and there are important things to deal with later!" Witt shouted at once, and the bandits hurriedly joined the group and continued to move on, chasing after the slave traders, who had long since gone away.

A procession of nearly 100 people appeared on the path, making the path appear a little narrow, and the lone pedestrians gave way one after another. When encountering a large caravan, Witt only took care of each other and did not give too much courtesy. As the distance between the team and the Riwa car grew, the green bricks on the road gradually became dilapidated until they disappeared, leaving only the dirt road. There are fewer people on both sides of the road, and there are fewer pedestrians on the road, and the road has become narrower, and it can only be passed by constant queues.

The team bypassed Vizan's jurisdiction and headed straight for Fesdena until mid-afternoon.

"Childe, there is the Shuangfeng Zhai area in front, I heard that bandits are rampant there, and many caravans have disappeared here, and it is already early afternoon, and it is impossible to reach Fesdena today, why don't you spend the night here tonight?"

"Although bandits are rampant in Shuangfeng Village, there are still thirty or forty people in you and me, and the equipment is many times better than that bandits, so why should you worry. It's still some time before the sun sets, and besides, I've been out for a long time, and my father is looking forward to it day and night, so I'd better go back sooner, and you can get the dinar sooner, right? Therefore, I might as well rest after the Shuangfeng Zhai area, okay? Witt calmly persuaded. The slave trader was also helpless, after all, Witt was the buyer, not to mention that what Witt said was reasonable, and he also hoped to get the dinar earlier, so it would be more reassuring.

"Since Childe's words have come to this, I will follow what Childe said, and rest after the village." The slave trader nodded in agreement. So the people went on one after the other.

When the hundred-person team marched to the Hump Forest, it was already dusk, the forest was densely foliage, the light was slightly dim, and people who were not familiar with this place, coupled with the rumors of bandits, really made people shiver.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the forest, and the slave trader guards who were walking in front immediately became nervous, raised the spears and shields in their hands, and shouted, "Who! The others immediately nervously raised their weapons and quietly looked around.

Just when everyone was nervous, a squirrel came out of the forest, picked up the walnuts that fell on the path, and did not forget to spy on everyone, and then flew into the forest again and disappeared.

The slave traders' guards immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and their hanging hearts gradually relaxed, and then one of them raised his foot and kicked the ass of the screaming companion just now, and at the same time yelled: "Whoever makes a fuss about you, a squirrel can scare you to pee!" The others immediately burst into laughter, and the man who had been kicked immediately blushed and could not say more, so he had to move on.

Just as the group walked more than 200 meters away, the guard at the head of the team heard the sound of rustling in the forest in front of him again, but this time he also learned to behave, thinking that it was a squirrel again, so he no longer made a fuss, but continued to move forward.

Unexpectedly, when the team had only traveled one or twenty meters, a dozen or so men in armor suddenly appeared from the bushes in front of the team, several of whom were holding bows and arrows, aiming at themselves. Big men also jumped out of the bushes on the side of the slave traders' procession, and no less than 30 people surrounded the slave traders' procession.
