Chapter 68: Rescuing the Slaves and Returning to Fengzhai

"Boss, what should I do? Bandits are in ambush among us! The guards at the front could not bear it anymore and immediately shouted anxiously at the slave traders, swallowing in their throats. When the slaves saw the bandits' attack, they were even more restless, helpless to be shackled and unable to move, otherwise they would have fled.

The slave trader was also startled by a group of bandits who suddenly appeared in the sky, but the subordinates around him were waiting for him to speak, so he had to force himself to stabilize his inner restlessness and calmly look at the surrounding situation. I saw that the number of the other party was about thirty or forty people, and they were all dressed in armor, holding shields and spears or one-handed Germanic swords, which were by no means comparable to ordinary bandits. I'm afraid this is a loss for my wife and a soldier.

A glimmer of golden light flashed through the slave trader's mind, and although the other party was quite numerous, it did not have a numerical advantage. The slave trader remembered that there were many men and horses in Witt's party, including a dozen or so of his brothers, there were more than thirty people in total, and the equipment was even better than that of the bandits, so why fear? It's a big deal that the fish dies and the net is broken, and the other party loses both.

Just as the slave trader was about to shout at Witt, he saw a strong man in chain mail led by the bandits suddenly walk up to Witt and shouted: "Lord! At your orders, this group has been surrounded, and what to do with them next. This person is none other than Star, and Witt whispered to Star as early as Riwache, explaining that he would return to the village first and prepare to rescue the slaves.

The slave traders, seeing that the bandit leader groveled to Witt and was polite, thinking that Witt had a special position in Fesd, and that even the bandits had to give three points, and immediately rejoiced, and excitedly prepared to get out of the encirclement of the cottage guards and walk in the direction of Witt, but were stopped by the cottage guards with spears.

The slave trader did not dare to move immediately, but still laughed and said, "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Everyone is their own person, you don't have to use knives and guns, put down your weapons, put them down! The guards of the cottage still ignored him, but his eyes were held up and the boss waited for the slave trader, so frightened that he retreated again and again, and did not dare to say anything more.

"Let him come!" Seeing this, Witt immediately spoke.

The guard of the cottage heard the order of Wit, and immediately made a way for the slave traders to pass. The slave trader didn't dare to be ambiguous, and immediately ran to Witt's side and said with a smile: "Childe, is this a misunderstanding?" Tell them that we're serious businessmen! As long as they are willing to let us pass, I will send some dinars to the brothers to reward you in the green woods. ”

"The owner of the village! This scourge of the world, basing his happiness on the misery of the people, I think it is better to slaughter him and throw him into the wilderness as a beast of prey! Starr couldn't get used to this and shouted angrily at the slave traders.

The slave trader heard it clearly this time, wasn't the son of the nobility of Fesdena? How did he become a bandit leader in the blink of an eye! The slave trader couldn't believe his ears, but more than that, the fear in his heart numbed him, and this time it was completely over.

Seeing the ugly face of the slave trader, Witt was extremely disdainful in his heart, and immediately replied: "This is not a misunderstanding, to tell you the truth, I am not a noble child of Fesdena at all, but the owner of Shuangfeng Village. ”

When the slave trader heard this, the little hope in his heart was gone, and his face was as dead as ashes, but then he grabbed Witt's clothes and cried, "Childe...... No! Owner! My lord! Please let me go! I'm willing to give you all these slaves for free, as long as you let me go, please! ”

Witt shook off the slave trader's dirty hands and said angrily, "I hated you for selling living people back in Riwacheze. Look at these people," Witt continued, pointing to the shackled slaves in front of him, "They are human beings, and they are just like you, parents of some people, wives and husbands of some people, children of some people, who are of the same kind as you, and now they are goods in your hands, living a life that is worse than death, you can think about how they feel in their hearts. How would you feel if you were treated like that? When you do such a thing, you don't know how to repent, and you only think about your life. If I let you go, I will kill even more innocent people in the future!" Someone, take him back to the cottage prison and lock him up, and then deal with him later! ”

Two guards of the cottage immediately stepped forward and grabbed the slave trader by the shoulders and dragged him away. The slave trader was still yelling, trying to get Witt to forgive him.

Witt turned a deaf ear and walked over to the slave traders' guards. I saw the long contradictory cards they were holding tightly in their hands, panting nervously in their mouths, swallowing saliva, their eyes supporting the boss, staring at Witt and the surrounding bandits, and their hands and feet were constantly trembling.

"You don't have to resist fearlessly, you also saw it just now, your employer has been imprisoned by me, although you have also done a lot of hurtful things, but after all, you are not the main culprit, as long as you surrender, I can leave you a way to live, but if you plan to continue to resist, I will also consider leaving you a whole corpse, you can do it yourself!" Witt's tone was flat, but there was an oppressive air between the words.

The slave traders' guards looked at each other, then dropped their spears and shields and fell to their knees begging for mercy. Seeing this, Witt immediately smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's eye-catching, come here, take off all their weapons and armor." ”

The guards rushed forward to remove the weapons on the ground, remove the armor from the guards, and effectively control them.

"What will happen to them?" Star asked.

"Shackled, sent to the cottage as coolies, to assist in the construction of related defenses." Witt said bluntly without thinking.

"Yes!" After Star left, Rum stepped forward, pointed to the trembling slaves next to him and asked, "Lord, what should I do with all these efforts here?" ”

Witty nodded, without saying a word, walked straight up to the slaves, and said loudly: "I think everyone knows my identity, and I won't repeat it, now that the slave trader has been exterminated by me, and you are free, come and untie the shackles on their hands and feet." ”

The slaves were surprised to see Witt kill them all next, but they were surprised to order them free, but they were also grateful to Witt.

The guards of the cottage took the keys found on the slave traders and unshackled them one by one. Witt continued: "I know that many of you have served as soldiers, and there are also pirates and bandits, and some of you are ordinary people, and there are many fierce beasts in the Shuangfeng Zhai area, if you have nowhere to go, you can follow me at any time, and the Shuangfeng Village will provide you with housing and open up wasteland, and you will be exempt from taxation, if you have combat skills, you can also serve me as my command, and I will not treat you badly." Of course, I don't force you to make a choice, I hope that I will sincerely wish you a safe journey, but the door of Shuangfeng Village will always be open for you. ”

As soon as Witt finished speaking, the slaves present burst into applause and shouted in support of Witt. The first to speak was the Nord soldier who was talking to Witt in Riwache: "Lord, I am willing to stay, if I go back now, I will be looked down upon as a deserter by my neighbors, and I respect you as a person, so I will stay and serve you." ”

After breaking the deadlock, those who became slaves were actually people who had nowhere to stay, and now that they have regained their freedom, they don't know where to go, so most of them choose to stay, only a small number of people who still have doubts in their hearts choose to leave, Witt did not break his promise, but asked Star to provide them with some self-defense, and then let them leave on their own.

When everything was ready, Witt led the crowd towards the Twin Peaks.
