Chapter Ninety-Four: Petition for Nomination
At this time, the battle is nearing the end, and I have to say that the combat effectiveness of these former soldiers in the main city is quite powerful, and they can actually kill more than a dozen horse thieves in a battle like 20 against 70, which can be regarded as powerful. But that's all, now these twenty soldiers have basically been killed.
As for the merchant members of those chambers of commerce, they are basically not combat effectiveness. The one who didn't have long eyes was stabbed by a horse thief, and the slightly smarter one shouted a little with a knife when he wanted to start fighting, and then he hid immediately as soon as he started fighting, and he could still live.
"Commander, it's almost done, we've all killed those with knives." The orc Gurem here walked up to Gilbert, who was still holding Marven's corpse, with a mace, and reported with a smile.
"Hmm......" Gilbert replied with a slight nod of his head still crouching there.
"You're the one who killed Marven? Great, you've been so kind to our thieves. Gurem also greeted Li Huailin in front of him at this time.
"Very good?" Li Huailin said slowly, "Why are you crying in that case?" ”
"Crying? How could I ......" Gurem said as he touched his eyes, and sure enough, he touched a lot of tears.
"Huh? Why do I ......" Gurem looked at the tears on his fingers strangely, and said strangely, "Commander, it's so strange, why did I cry. ”
"I don't know......" Gilbert slowly stood up.
"Commander, why are you crying, why?" Gurem asked, looking at a tearful Gilbert.
"I really don't know, it's just that it suddenly feels like something very sad has happened, but I don't know what ......it is," Gilbert finished and wiped his eyes with the sleeve of his right hand, "Gurem, wipe away the tears first, don't let the members of the group see it." ”
"Oh......" Gurem wiped his tears as well.
"How's it going?" Gilbert looked at the surrounding situation, the horse thieves had already taken control of the situation, and now several people were collecting the prisoners, several were collecting the bodies of their companions, and some people were beginning to count the goods.
"The guards have all been killed, 11 caravans of merchants have been captured, and the goods are still being counted. Thirteen brothers were killed on our side, two were seriously wounded, and a dozen or so were lightly wounded. Gurem reported.
"Bring the captives over." Gilbert said.
In a short time, a dozen or so people were pulled in front of Gilbert, and these people were not tied, but each of them was followed by a horse thief, with a knife directly on his neck, and the slightest movement was estimated to be a knife.
And the leader of this group of captives is the captain of the caravan, Jared, and I don't know how this guy survived the chaos, anyway, he is alive and not injured.
"Oh, hello, Mr. Caravan Captain." Gilbert looked at Jared and smiled.
After Gilbert finished speaking, the horse thief who was following Jared raised his foot and kicked Jared in the back knee, and Jared immediately fell to his knees.
"You...... You can't kill me......" Jared said in a panic, trembling.
"Oh, why can't I kill you?" Gilbert asked with a smile.
"I ...... I am a man of the Marquis de Vilmut...... No, it's the henchman, the henchman. At this time, Jared could only think of relying on the Marquis of Filmut to be intimidating.
"Oh, henchman?" Gilbert smiled.
"Yes, yes, if you kill me, the Marquis of Filmut will definitely send an army to encircle you, it's not good for everyone, right?" Jared saw that Gilbert seemed to hesitate for a moment, felt that he had seized the opportunity, and hurriedly said.
"Do you think that if I don't kill you, your master, the Marquis of Filmut, won't come to us? So what do you say I should do? Let you go back and show the Marquis of Filmut the way? Huh, you treat me as an idiot? Gilbert said with a smile.
"No...... No, ......, I won't go to the Marquis when I go back! Jared said quickly.
"Alright, you guys listen!" Gilbert didn't bother to care about Jared, he stood up and raised his voice and said to a few captives on the other side, "Now I will give you a way to live, that is, follow me in the future, anyway, everyone knows this matter today, it is impossible for me to let go of a living mouth to report to the Marquis of Filmut, you will either die today, or follow me, you choose one." ”
The merchants below were immediately moved, although it was said that it was a businessman who had become a robber now it was quite miserable, and he had mixed well in the main city and now he was about to fall into the grass, and there was a big gap in his heart, but anyway, it was better than dead. A few older businessmen struggled even more, they still had families in the main city, and what should they do if they fell into the grass?
"I'm willing to join!" A very young captive shouted, "Anyway, I was originally a helper in the Chamber of Commerce, I am not married, and my parents have their own jobs to take care of themselves, it is better for me to join than to die!" ”
There was a first, there was a second, and soon six people stood up and said they wanted to join. These six people were all relatively young people, who did not have any family business in the main city, and worked as helpers in the caravan. The remaining seven people continued to kneel there, very entangled in their hearts, they were not young people, they had wives, concubines, and children at home, how could they fall into the grass casually.
"I ...... I'm joining ......," said a man in his forties standing up quietly.
"Darek, you!" The other person next to him immediately glared at Darik and yelled.
"I'm just going to join, what's wrong?" Dyric suddenly became excited, "I just want to live, what's wrong?" ”
The person next to "this ......" was speechless, not knowing how to refute, in fact, he also wanted to live in his heart, but he was reluctant to work hard for decades, once he fell into the grass, there was no turning back.
"I'm an accountant, I can keep books, I can help you...... No, help us keep the accounts. Darik shouted at Gilbert.
"Alright, that's it." Gilbert waved his hand at this time, and the few people who did not stand up were immediately dragged away by the horse thief behind him, and some people seemed to want to say something, but Gilbert ignored it, and directly let the horse thief behind him strangle his neck and prevent him from speaking.
"Alright, there are 7 people left." Gilbert looked at the seven people standing up and said, "You all want to join our bandits, but our thieves have a rule that before entering the door, you must give a vote. ”
"Vote?" A few people standing asked strangely.
"Look, there happens to be a henchman of the Marquis of Filmut here, how appropriate it is, kill him, you will be my brother." Gilbert said, pointing to Jared who was kneeling on the ground.
"What?" Jared's heart jumped, and then he immediately looked at the seven people who were standing.
The horse thief next to him immediately handed over a knife, and the horse thief was not afraid that they would suddenly burst out, just these few merchants, there was nothing to be afraid of, and those who had the courage to resist were already lying on the ground.
However, none of these 7 people stepped forward immediately, and everyone's expressions were very entangled. That's because Jared is really a very good captain, looking at Jared kneeling on the ground, some of the usual pictures are hooked, he has taken care of himself at work, stuffed himself with money when it was difficult, drank together, and took risks.
"How...... What to do? I can't do it......" said a young man.
"I ...... I can't do it either......"
"Think it through." Gilbert said as he spoke, and there was a scream from the other side, and several merchants who did not stand up had been executed.
"No...... I don't want to die......" A young man was a little broken, and immediately drew a knife and was about to step forward.
"Don't ...... Don't kill me, Eggert......" Jared said on his knees.
"......" The young man named Eggert hesitated again when he saw Jared praying, and he couldn't get the knife down.
"Poof", at this moment, a sword pierced directly through Jared's head, and then pierced from below as if there was no obstacle, and the huge force immediately pinned his whole person to the ground, and instantly blood flowed all over the ground.
"I'm joining." Li Huailin said as he stood beside Jared's body.
