Chapter 21: "Shangliang Mountain"
When the leader on the opposite side heard Locke say that there was a better way, he thought he was provoking himself, and said sharply: "Boy, don't be too arrogant!" ”
"Tired of being alive, boy!"
"Let this kid taste great!"
"Really when our Rock Gang is soft persimmon?!"
"Come on! John! ”
As soon as the surrounding minions heard that they were going to fight, they immediately began to shout, and in their eyes, the guy in front of them wearing a black cuirass and a skull scarf was dressed up in a nondescript manner, and at a glance, they knew that they didn't even know how to wear and match the weak chicken!
Locke glanced around calmly, stretched out his hand towards the leader in front of him, and said defiantly, "John, right?" Let the horses come. ”
When the leader heard this, his forehead suddenly became blue.
He became the deputy commander of a bandit group of hundreds of people at a young age, and his strength is not in vain, as a silver rank, he has always been one of the best in the group, and everyone is respectful when they see him.
And now, this guy in front of him who came out of nowhere dared to be so arrogant in front of him!
Then he drew his sword in his hand and shouted, "Boy! Don't be so arrogant! I'll show you what hell it's like today! ”
As soon as the words fell, an arrow rushed directly over, and the speed caused the people around to exclaim again and again.
"Ding~!"
Just when John was still making up the picture of the other party kneeling down and begging for mercy, he only felt the figure of the guy in front of him shake, and then he held the sword in the tiger's mouth with a sharp pain.
"You're dead." Locke took advantage of the other party's stunned effort, quickly knocked his weapon away, and then held the dagger directly around the opponent's back against his neck, so fast that the vision of the people around him was a little unable to keep up, after they saw their invincible deputy commander being held hostage, they kept rubbing their eyes, thinking that they were dazzled.
"Wait...... Wait, this brother, listen to me, just now I spoke a little in a hurry......" Feeling the dagger on his neck getting heavier and heavier, John suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and at the same time shouted loudly to the surroundings: "Put down your weapons and let him go!" ”
The people around him couldn't react for a while, which made John more and more nervous.
However, Locke didn't make a move, and smiled: "You know how to judge the situation." The strength of his hand gradually slowed, which made John breathe a heavy sigh of relief.
Locke glanced around, there were quite a lot of people in this group, and seeing that they were all about to reach the level of the silver level, they must have a lot of resources.
"War or peace?" Locke asked, grabbing John's neck.
John hurriedly replied, "Peace! We are staunch pacifists! ”
Locke nodded, gently released his neck to let him go, and then took the sword that the other party had fallen from in his hand, and handed it over while the other party was in shock and just turned around.
"Your style is quite to my liking, if there is a shortage of people, count me in." Locke said indifferently like a nobody,
John took the sword in a daze, and did not answer.
The form is developing too fast, and the minions around him can't keep up with the progress, but the first to react is John, after all, he can be the deputy commander, and he can't sit in this position by force alone.
"You...... Want to join us? John asked again, you know, with the extreme skill of this person just now, it is definitely comparable to the strength of the middle silver stage! How can such a master not be popular? Will you choose to join the bandits' den?
John was skeptical.
"You're trying to ask why, right?" Locke turned around and asked, "Judging by your dress, you are a robber and bandit, right?" It just so happened that I offended a few people in the government and needed to find a place to escape from the limelight. ”
After finishing and looking at the deputy commander in front of him, John frowned and looked at him quietly thinking, not answering immediately.
At this time, a younger brother next to him said in his ear: "Deputy commander, we have been in dire need of manpower recently, with such a master here, it should become a major battle force in the village, right?" ”
"But this guy is of unknown origin, I'm afraid ......" John looked apprehensive, and hesitated to decide.
Unknown origin? Anyone who goes up to the mountain to be a bandit is basically of unknown origin, people are not afraid of this, he refuses to nod because there are other reasons.
Locke saw his little calculation, stepped forward and said, "If you don't feel at ease with me, you can monitor me personally." ”
In fact, according to the character of this chicken thief in this commandery, it is easy to guess the thoughts of this boy, and the meaning of Locke's words has already been indicated: he joined his team, not the stockade.
John's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at him and asked again, "Are you really going to join me...... Guys? "The word 'I' is specially accentuated in the language.
"That's right." Locke smiled and nodded, "It's you..... Guys. ”
"Ah......" John sighed softly, as if he had found his kind, and immediately understood, stretched out a hand and said, "Welcome to the Boulder Gang, brother." ”
"Thank you."
"Brother, your surname."
"Locke."
The minions around me are running out of brains - this is too fast, isn't it? Or maybe the deputy commander is too undisciplined.
A group of people introduced themselves, and then went home and walked towards the village.
On the way, Locke slowly pried open the purpose of the gang - they wanted to come and find out what the mayor was talking about, to see if they could get a formation from the regular army and mix up an official position.
That's right, like Liang Shanbo, these guys also want to be recruited by the imperial court.
"Did the mayor see that?" Locke asked.
"Why......" said John, the bearded deputy next to him, "those guys dislike our origins and won't even let us in." ”
It seems that I haven't seen it.
"Why do you want to take refuge in the Empire? Isn't it good to be a robber? Locke said casually.
"Brother, if you can have a good place, who wants to fall into the grass."
"That's right." Locke smiled.
At this time, the elf's voice sounded in his ears: "Master, our current human corpse is a little insufficient, although it can still make that crocodile eat for a month, but if you want to increase the biological combat power, I am afraid that there will be a shortage of meat, and when the time comes, upgrading the city defense, and building a second-order unit of building facilities will require a lot of building materials and food, these are not enough, and there are only a little more than 3 cars left for the magic energy crystal, if you use Akhras again, the crystal may have to be cracked again, in short, We're back to where we were before...... What to do? ”
Anne's tone sounded a little flustered.
"Don't worry." Locke reassured heavily.
When John next to him heard this, he thought he was talking to himself, and asked strangely, "What don't you need?" Could it be that the Locke brothers have a way? ”
"Yes." Locke smiled confidently: "If we want the Empire to believe in our sincerity, we must surrender our name!" ”
"What do you mean, brother?"
"Go attack another nest of bandits!" (To be continued)
