Chapter 33: Suppressing Bandits

It's been four days since Joika and the four of them wandered aimlessly in the wilderness

Originally, Joyka thought that with the strength of him and a few of his companions, it was not a matter of getting rid of dozens of horse thieves, but Joyka was completely wrong, and now he finally understood why the kingdom authorities had publicly entrusted the Bounty Hunters' Guild to hire someone to complete this task

Although the Pole Kingdom is now in the midst of two full-scale wars, it is necessary to concentrate a large number of soldiers and materials for foreign wars, but it does not mean that the authorities of the Pole Kingdom do not have enough troops to deal with this horse thief, as early as the beginning of the appearance of the horse thieves, the nearby lords have sent troops to encircle and suppress many times, but each time they have returned in vain

Relying on the speed of their mounts, these horse thieves came up and down the steppe like the wind, and their military qualities were unexpected: when they encountered a small group of the Pole kings, they would concentrate all their forces on ambushes or sneak attacks, forming a relative numerical superiority, and when the king mobilized a large number of troops to besiege them, they were scattered into pieces and disappeared into the wilderness

What's more, after a long investigation, the royal authorities have never been able to find out where the nest of these horse thieves is, and this group of horse thieves is like appearing on the ground out of thin air and disappearing into the ground, playing the royal team that surrounds them

The nearby lords spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but they were never able to eradicate this troublesome horse thief, so they had to find the Bounty Hunters' Guild to help

However, because a large amount of money is used to support foreign wars, the lords can take it out to pay for the reward for exterminating the horse thief, and the bounty is only 80,000 gold coins, if for some other bounty tasks, 80,000 gold coins is indeed a huge amount of money, but for this horse thief, it can't be counted as such

First of all, this task is not something that a single bounty hunter can complete, after all, even a 27-person regular army detachment of the kingdom was ambushed by horse thieves, and the whole army was wiped out, and it was undoubtedly a lamp moth to fight against more than fifty horse thieves with his own strength, and if he cooperated with other bounty hunters, the number of people was small, and it would be useless, and the bounty would be divided if there were too many people, so the task was released for nearly two months, and there were very few bounty hunters involved in the mission, and they were soon dismissed because of the lack of numbers, and they had to abandon the task

This was also the main reason why the female head of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, Tiyì Joyka, did not take this task, but Joyka finally took it, because he trusted his companions, although there were only 4 of them, they were all killed from the Shura field, and they could entrust each other's life and death, and the most trusted companion Joyka, the four of them firmly believed that they were absolutely sure that they would completely destroy this group of horse thieves

Before leaving, Joyka had asked some soldiers and bounty hunters who had participated in the encirclement and suppression of horse thieves about the patterns and characteristics of the appearance of those horse thieves in detail, but the information obtained was of little reference value, so Joyka decided to go to the wilderness to find the trace of this horse thief, but Joyka still underestimated the strength of this horse thief, even though Joyka had learned very good tracking skills in Tismu, but the horse thieves were very careful to erase the traces they left behind, so that Joyka's tracking skills could not be effective, and the cautious Cheng Dù of these horse thieves was comparable to that of spies in some countries

Therefore, Joyka took Sophia, Cassius and Ray to wander in the wilderness for four days and three nights, suffering and suffering, but did not find the slightest clue about the whereabouts of the horse thief, which made Sophia have to wonder if the so-called horse thief really existed, but Joyka firmly believed that the horse thief was stored in Zài, and the area they entered was exactly the range of the horse thief's activities, as for why they didn't find the horse thief, it was just their wrong method

On the fourth night, when Joyka was discussing with Sophia, Cassius, and Ray about going back to the city to find the whereabouts of the horse thief, a lone horse thief suddenly broke into their camp, and the reckless horse thief seemed to regard the bonfire of Sophia's life as if it was left by his companions, and after discovering this mistake, he immediately turned his horse's head and fled in the direction he had come, and Joika wasted no time in giving him an arrow

A sudden scream in the wilderness indicates that the thief has been wounded by an arrow, and Joyka stops Cassius from attempting to perform a magical blow on the fleeing thief until he finally gets him out of sight

Joyka, why did you stop me from running away now, the horse thief, Cassius asked very incomprehensibly

But Joyka laughed and said, "You killed him who took us to the horse thief's base camp."

However, Ray raised a question in due course: Then why didn't you chase it just now

If you were the horse thief, would you still run home when you knew someone was chasing you, Joyka choked back

But you watched him run away and chased after him, Lei said unconvinced

And Joyka showed a very meaningful smile: Don't rush to find someone first, we will definitely find it tomorrow

I understood, Sophia suddenly realized that you were trying to use tulip bees like you did last time you tracked down Latik and Vladimir, and your arrows must have been coated with tulip oil

Hehe, or Sophia Bingxue is smart to kiss one

Dead open

Hahaha......, hahaha......

They spent the night laughing and laughing, and on the fifth day of the wilderness, everyone woke up early, and the last night everyone had plenty of rest, and they were confident that they had found the nest of the horse thieves, and Joyka chose to release the tulip bees during the day to track them, which had another meaning: to dig up more clues that could not be found at night through the brighter environment

Sure enough, they got an unexpected harvest at the foot of a big tree

I saw that the grass at the foot of the big tree was overwhelmed, and Joyka turned over the soil next to it, and saw some blood-stained cloth and blades of grass buried in the ground, so Joyka judged that someone had healed under this big tree, and this person also buried the traces of the wound, and in the nearby grass, Joyka also found an envelope, which seemed to have been accidentally dropped by the horse thief

Joyka opened the envelope in public, and her companions gathered around, only to see Joyka pull out a piece of paper from the envelope, and write a very simple line of words in black ink on it: The fish that slipped through the net has been caught, please tell the boss what to do

After reading this letter, everyone finally understood: no wonder there has been no trace of horse thieves in the past few days, it turns out that these horse thieves are completing a secret mission.
