By the time everyone had taken care of Yiqiē and was on the road again, it was almost afternoon. (The fastest update speed is on Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)*** This means that they spent a morning and noon tending to the injuries of those mercenaries and burying the dead robbers. As for the night hunter Bamezava, it was only after nearly half a day of painful reezing for that he was killed by a dozen mercenaries with a weapon pierced through the heart.
In the end, the heart of the great bandit head who had crisscrossed the northern part of Zafaro's territory for five years was stabbed into a pile of rotten flesh, but there was a hint of relief on the bandit head's face. His head was cut off by the mercenaries and handed over to Chen Kai, because Chen Kai and Hummerta agreed that all the robbers with bounties would be collected by them, but the gold coins obtained belonged to these mercenaries Chen Kai, and they only needed experience. Hammerta agreed to this, because he was not worried that Chen Kai would not keep his promise for the bounty, unless Chen Kai wanted to face all the dangers alone without relying on the protection of the mercenaries on the rest of the journey.
For Chen Kai, he only values the experience of the wanted mission for the heads of these robbers, and for the bounty, Chen Kai thinks it is better to hand over the pension of the mercenary to Hammerta. After all, many of the bandits were killed by the mercenaries, and in fact, it seemed to all the mercenaries that they had earned more money this time than any previous mission. Because each person has a dozen credentials in their pockets to prove the completion of the wanted mission, these credentials do not necessarily allow them to receive the full bounty. But at least it can increase their mercenary points a lot.
As the caravan continued on, they again encountered a group of robbers as they passed a junction. It's just that this time the robbers looked even more miserable, they were not standing on the road ready to rob Chen Kai and his party, but sitting on the ground panting as if they had just escaped the pursuit. All the robbers were in very tattered clothes. Some of them were even covered in injuries, so when they met Chen Kai, they had no chance or strength to resist later. However, instead of killing all the robbers, they captured two alive and planned to inquire about the situation.
For everyone, they are not worried that these robbers are because they are fighting each other and the result is the way it is, if it is mutual fire, then the victorious robbers should now be busy accepting the fruits of their victory instead of coming to rob. The only thing they were worried about was that it was the troops of Lord Zafaro who would defeat these bandits, and if that was the case, then the group would have to change their itinerary, because Chen Kai could be said to be blacklisted in the noble senate of the Rohan Empire. Although it is not on the must-kill list, it is definitely not bad if the goods are robbed. Therefore, they were not afraid to hear from the mouths of the robbers that there were a lot of robbers, and they were afraid that the lord of Zafaro would have a cerebral convulsion and start to purge the bandits in the territory. Of course, it doesn't matter if it's really cleared. The only fear of the group was that they would encounter the troops of Lord Zafaro on the way, and it would be a big deal.
"What do you say? The boar of Golden Purgatory in Cadogrera is cleansing the entire forest of bandits? And there are three golden purgatory boars? Hammertower's massive voice echoed throughout the convoy, and the voice was filled with disbelief.
"Yes! Yes, just yesterday afternoon, Gordon Bloody Chamantos and Night Hunter Bamezava Boss teamed up against Cadore Greira's Momoto, and as a result, Gord Blood's entire army was wiped out, and Boss Chamantos was directly killed by Momoto. Boss Bamezawa heard that he had run away. But both of his men were killed by two other newly emerging golden infernoboars! The robber looked at Hammertower nervously, afraid that if he was slow to answer, he would be killed by the legendary Axe mercenary in front of him.
"And you're the bandits?" Chen Kai turned around and asked the robber, for the other two golden purgatory boars that suddenly appeared, a thought suddenly flashed in Chen Kai's heart, that is, Momoto used the water of the holy lake that he sold to the other party.
"Your Excellency! We are the Doros bandits! In the morning, we were just about to go out to do business when we were attacked by Momoto, and the leader was directly killed by Lord Momoto. Then we were broken up and managed to escape! When the robber spoke, the picture that came to Chen Kai's mind was the scene of the huge body of the golden purgatory boar jumping up and falling and smashing people to death, and in Chen Kai's mind, Momoto might shake his ass back and forth when he sat down, completely crushing the target to death.
"Uncle Hammertower, what do you think is going on now?" Chen Kai turned his head and asked Hammerta, who was holding his head in meditation, but apparently the latter didn't know what was going on in the entire Zafaro Forest like him, and why Momoto, the boar of the Golden Purgatory, was attacking those bandits. But now there is no doubt that Chen Kai and they are under the influence of the other party's attack on the bandits. A large number of bandits operating in the northern Zafaro territory were constantly driven to the south, which increased the chance that the caravan would encounter bandits as they marched. Even a crippled bandit can deal damage to a mercenary. The best thing to do now is to turn around and retreat to Cadogreira to see how things are going. )
"All right, everyone votes! Is it to keep walking? Or retreat to Cardogerrera first? After Chen Kai and Hammertower communicated for a long time, they couldn't make up their minds, and according to Hammertower's meaning, they continued to walk. Let's not talk about whether you will encounter robbers when you retreat to Cardo Greira. The time lost in the retreat alone is not a short day. The most important thing is that winter in the Rohan Empire is just around the corner, and according to Hammerta's information, three to five days after the Cadogrela Boar Festival has passed, there will be a significant cooling in the Zafaro Forest, and then heavy snow will fall. The most important thing is that the snowfall is the most dangerous time in the whole Zafaro forest, as all the animals will try to replenish their food when the snow has not completely covered the forest, so those predators will become very aggressive. Even the Zafaro Tigers, who had not previously attacked humans, could attack caravans during this time, as they needed food to survive the winter.
"Keep walking! Otherwise, the snow will come and I will have to wait until next spring to reach my destination, and I don't want to delay the whole winter! In the winter it is simply impossible for us to gain much in Carmelas! Roussier's words represent the hearts of many mercenaries. For these mercenaries, the only way to complete the task is to send Chen Kai to the destination, and at the same time, because of this mission, these mercenaries have the capital to make a comeback. No mercenary wants to be a lone mercenary all the time, and only the establishment of a mercenary group to make their mercenary group stronger and bigger is the greatest pursuit of these mercenaries. Only large mercenary groups can gain a higher social place and at the same time take on more valuable tasks. To put it bluntly, in the end, it's just about money.
"Now that everyone thinks it's time to keep the task done! So let's move on! But everyone is on guard, scouts must probe within five hundred meters of the surroundings! Hammerta didn't speak after he finished speaking, in fact, he had another layer of consideration, and that was why there were three golden inferno boars. If Momoto at the beginning was the result of his own evolution, then the appearance of the other two Golden Purgatory Boars was too weird, and at this time, Hammertower's eyes couldn't help but glance at Chen Kai. He remembered the transaction between Momoto and Chen Kai, a half-filled bottle of liquid that exuded a rich divine power. At that moment, Hammertower suddenly felt an urge to grab Chen Kai and ask the other party what the bottle of liquid was, but in an instant he threw this thought into his mind. Let's not mention whether I can force Chen Kai to ask the information he wants, once he really does that, it is estimated that he will not be far from being ruined. Especially if he directly offends his thighs, which he finally put on his side. Thinking of the consequences of being disgusted by Count Zaf, Hummerta threw the thought out of his mind.
As the group continued on the road, they encountered more and more robbers along the way, but they were all low-level bandit gangs that were disabled. Some bandit gangs originally wanted to gather and prepare for a comeback, but they ran into Chen Kai and them, who were about to exchange their heads for experience. Although Chen Kai will not let the mercenaries be wiped out. Or drive the mercenaries to fight the robbers, but all the mercenaries know how to beat the water dogs. In fact, many of the mercenaries had a grudge against the bandits, and as a result, the bandits active in Zafaro's territory suffered a terrible winter of slaughter before winter began.
Although Chen Kai and the others didn't know why Momoto was bothering the bandits, they knew very well that the bandits in Zafaro Forest were finished. Because the further you go, the fewer robbers you will encounter, and the worse they will be. When Chen Kai and the others set up camp again, they encountered the last wave of robbers they encountered. Of course, it is also the largest wave, but these robbers are all rabble gathered after being dispersed, not to mention a person above the eighth order, even if it is a sixth or seventh order, there are very few. If it weren't for the huge number, it is estimated that Chen Kai and them could directly kill them all. Although in the end, Chen Kai and they drove away the bandits. But they only killed less than a hundred, and the rest of the robbers all turned around and ran away because they saw Chen Kai's terrifying body and the powerful strength of Hammer Tower.
However, before they escaped, more than 30 robbers fell into the hands of Chen Kai and them. became a captive of Chen Kai and they tied to the back of the carriage with ropes. Now in the entire caravan, in addition to the mercenaries, there are more than a hundred disarmed bandit captives, and these captives were all captured by Chen Kai and them along the way.
Although, in Hammertau's view, capturing prisoners was completely superfluous. Because they didn't have that many people to take care of these captives, but Chen Kai was unwilling to kill them. Of course, this is not to say that Chen Kai has the kindness of a woman, but he thinks that instead of killing these prisoners of war so simply, it is better to send them to the next town and sell them to those mine owners as coolies. Hearing Chen Kai's idea, Hammertower looked at him with a very strange look, because Chen Kai's idea was too vicious.
Naturally, Hammertower knew what would happen to these robbers when they were sold to the mine owners, and there was no place in the Rohan Empire that would be more terrifying in the hands of the slave mine owners. There, even an eighth-order knight might not be able to survive for a year, because the heavy labor would directly torture people to death. Of course, no one would use an eighth-order knight to mine, because such a deposit could not appear in a slave mine at all, and the largest number of people in the slave mine would always be abducted civilians and hired laborers. Hammertower could imagine how popular these able-bodied robbers would be with the slave mine owners, who were in amination of such able-bodied miners in the slave mines.
Therefore, thinking of the final fate of these robbers, Hammertower also agreed with Chen Kai's approach. Of course, at first they told the mercenaries that they intended to hand over the robbers to the sheriff. In the eyes of these robbers, they are not the main culprits, and the crimes they commit are not big, at most, they are only locked up for a few years, so they don't care. After all, it's much better than just killing them, and even some robbers wonder what will happen when they get out of prison. But they don't know their true fate, and if they knew, they would probably rebel directly. After all, these robbers are not stupid. Naturally, it is known what the slave mines are.
While Chen Kai and the others were fighting these bandits' ideas, the Northern Golden Purgatory Boar of Zafaro Forest was attacking the last wave of robbers with their own wild boar herd. However, this wave of robbers was not robbers in the full sense of the word, because many of them wore standard armor, and if anyone recognized these armors, they would know that these people were the private army of the Marquis of Zafaro.
"Momoto! I know you understand me, please don't go too far, if you anger the Marquis of Zafaro, do you know what the consequences will be? "Leading the private army was Rodman, the marquis of Zafaro's chief of guard, but now he was in a very miserable condition, because he was directly slapped by Momoto's hooves.
"Sorry! I made a pact with them to destroy all the bandits in the Zafaro forest. And of course, all of your marquis's privates! Momoto didn't speak, but he used spiritual language to deliver the words directly into Rodman's mind.
"Who is it? Who told you to attack Lord Marquis, who gave you this courage! Rodman yelled angrily, but then his face began to turn pale. He noticed that Momoto and his two wives were slowly lifting their front hooves and slowly falling.
"No!! You're going to pay for it! I swear my master will not let you go!! While Rodman's words were still in the air, three terrifying seismic ripples had spread to his feet. The tremor force was so great that all the feet were out of balance. The most terrible seismic wave was accompanied by two shock waves, each of which would shake a bunch of people directly into the sky, and when the three ripples disappeared, none of the robbers and the Marquis Zafaro's private soldiers could stand. But that doesn't mean it's all over. Because Rodman knew that the three shockwaves were just the beginning, and when he fell to the ground, he knew he was finished.
As all the robbers and privates struggled to get up, countless terrifying thorns suddenly sprang up from their backs, directly piercing everyone into a hornet's nest in an instant. The commander of the private army. Although the Marquis Zafaro's chief of guard, Rodman, tried his best to resist the attacks of the Earth Thorns, but he was unable to resist the earth elemental spells released by the three lord-level creatures. If he's a Holy Order, then maybe he can fight it. However, if he was a Holy Rank powerhouse, he would not have been sent out to lead the private army of the Marquis of Zafaro. Even though it seems to be a highly regarded location, it is basically a shady location for the Marquis of Zafaro's personal family. So basically those who stayed in this position were instructed by the Marquis of Zaffaro. But it is definitely not very valued or powerful. Because the Holy Order will basically stay in the guards of the Marquis of Zafaro, only those who have not seen the light will be arranged into these private soldiers. While acting as a tool for the Marquis of Zafaro to collect money, he lurks for his ambitions.
"Momoto, is it really good for us to get involved in the human struggle like this?" The other Golden Purgatory Boar standing behind Momoto said to Momoto in a less skilled mental way, blinking at his concern.
"Don't worry! Ziana: This is the last time I will do things for my old master! After this time, my contract will be terminated, and then I won't have to do anything for humans! But I quite like my current life, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have bought that magical liquid by trading methods, and you wouldn't have evolved so quickly into the same storage zài as me! It's just that forced evolution always leaves some problems, and you have no way to obtain your own lord realm, so you can only rely on me to obtain lord-level combat power! As Momoto spoke, a faint magical rune hidden under the mane in the middle of its head vanished in a flicker. Meanwhile, in the basement of the Lord's Mansion in the Redstone Fortress, Count Zaf was staring at his ancestors in a daze, as he was looking at himself in a daze. However, while they were in a daze, a magical rune flashed in the hand of the old Duke of Zaf, whose ancestors had become dead creatures. And after a little shining, it was completely shattered.
"Huh? Momoto's little pig did my job so quickly? I didn't expect it to become so capable of fighting now, I knew that I shouldn't have agreed to it lightly, where to find such a fat free fighter in the future! The old Baron Zaf said with great pity, but Baron Zaf beside him could not hide the gleam of joy on his face. Because he knew very well the meaning of the words of the old Duke of Zaf, which meant that the bandits of the Zafaro Forest that had plagued the transportation routes of the Redstone Fortress were completely finished.
The most important thing is to open this transportation line without spending a single soldier, and at the same time, he did not fight the Marquis of Zafaro, who was hiding behind the bandits. It can be said that this move was completed without spending his own strength, and this qiē was all caused by a pet left by the old Duke of Zaf, the old ancestor of Count Zaf, when he was young.
"Happy what? That guy can let so many robbers rob the caravan leading to the redstone fortress, and naturally he can also create another group of bandits, and he can even go directly to become robbers himself! What you're going to do now is not to rejoice here, but to find a way to kill that guy right away! Old Duke Zaf saw the smile on the face of his great-grandson, who he didn't know how many times great-great-great, directly gave the other party a palm with a white bone claw, and instantly woke him up from a state of joy.
Under the palm of the old Duke Zaf, the chubby Count Zaf immediately remembered that it wasn't the robbers who were really in trouble with the Redstone Fortress. It's the guy who stands behind the robbers. A rival who does not have the blood of the Rohan Emperor, but also has the right to continue as an Emperor. If Count Zaf wanted to open the way to the throne of the Rohan Emperor, then the Marquis of Zafaro in front of him was the first stone he had to move.
Count Zaf had thought of assassinating and killing the other party directly, but if he was proposing it in front of his ancestors. It is estimated that the old Duke of Zaf will kill his unscrupulous grandson first. In his opinion, only the most unqualified politician would think of such an unsightly trick as assassination directly, and if it were him, then even if he wanted to destroy the enemy from the **, he would have to come clearly. The position to the throne is bloody for an emperor, but you must be seen by people how strong you are on this bloody path. Although assassination can make people fearful, it will definitely not be sincerely supported by the old nobles who follow the truth of the strong.
While Count Zaf rubbed his head and thought about how to deal with the Marquis of Zafaro, Chen Kai and the others spent a peaceful night. Of course, it is not completely calm. At least the mercenaries who kept vigil caught a lot of robbers who were about to sneak attack, and directly tied them up and threw them into the middle of the group of captives, making Chen Kai and their captives exceed 200 people. Of course, it is not that there are no captives who intend to escape, but the mercenaries who keep vigil will not be merciful to their captives. Those who dare to run away will break their legs and throw them into the forest to fend for themselves. Thinking of the result of the broken leg, these robbers instantly changed from heroes to impotent men.
Until the next morning. Only five of the robbers dared to escape, and of course they were thrown into the jungle in the distance after breaking their legs in the middle of the night. Only began to hear their screams. There was nothing but a wolf howl in the back.
In order to prevent the robbers from escaping and to save food, all the robbers were fed the worst meals and they were not allowed to be full. Although this caused the dissatisfaction of the robbers, it is important to know that they are captives and not masters, and all the robbers choose to give in and endure under the sticks and fists and feet. As for the one who does not give in, it is very simple, just break his leg and throw it into the jungle, and there is no robber who does not choose to give in under this tried and tested method. It's just that after taking these underfed robbers, Chen Kai's walking speed has decreased significantly, and they only need to walk for another two days to walk for three and a half days. In the end, they basically walked through the wind and snow to leave the forest of Zafaro and entered the neighboring territory of Pezarus. After entering Pezarus, Hammerta's heart was obviously relaxed, compared to Zafaro, which was full of robbers, Pezzaros's security was much better, and the lord of Pezaros was still a very standard royal party, that is, a nobleman who stood on the side of the royal family of the Rohan Empire.
Although he may not support the ascension of Count Zaf to the throne, he will definitely not stand in the camp of those imperial electors while the old emperor is still alive. Most importantly, of the eight imperial electors, the Marquis of Zafaro was the least powerful. Even if the lord of Pezaros really wanted to find someone to pay allegiance, he would not look for the Marquis of Zafaro, thinking that because of the other party's actions, Pezaros still had a great hatred for the Marquis of Zafaro. The so-called cutting off people's financial routes is like killing their parents, and the Marquis Zafaro's behavior not only cultivated robbers, but also blocked the trade routes from Pezaros to Andorson, which is not an act of cutting off people's financial routes.
If there is anyone in the Rohan Empire who wants the Marquis of Zafaro to die directly, in addition to the chubby Count Zaf in the Redstone Fortress, it is estimated that it is the Count of Pezaro in the territory of Pezarus. This is basically an open fact, and it basically didn't take long for Count Pezaro to curse the Marquis of Zafaro's side, cursing that sooner or later he would die at the hands of the Zafaro Tiger for hunting, but this curse never succeeded. (To be continued......)
