As the chaos grew, bandit groups sprang up one after another, making the surrounding villages and towns suffer. Among them, a large part of the bandit group was transformed from the original mountain villagers.

It's just that some people have no bottom line, and some people use the name of the bandit group to protect their own acres and three lands.

The 'Quartet Rogue Group' belongs to the latter.

They collect a fixed 'protection fee' in their own villages, and then rob outsiders, sometimes attacking the territory of outside forces. But most of the time, it's to stay on your own turf honestly and prevent others from crossing the line.

It is said that it is a group of thieves, but there are only 3 or 40 people, all of whom are strong and young people in the village, and most of them are ordinary people who have not become formal professionals.

The head of the regiment, Huo Gang, was a bounty hunter in his early years, and his strength was unknown, but it could be roughly judged from Huo Wu's mouth that he was just an elite middle-aged and high-level middle-aged man.

Huo Wu is the second son of the village chief of Triangle Eye. was slightly shaken by Luo Xia a few times, such as telling him that his companion had recruited all the things and began to 'fall' step by step and poured out all the contents.

The Quartet Rogue is not to be feared, but in fact, there are still 3 bandit groups active in the vicinity. The most powerful of them all is the Bluestone Bandits.

Bluestone Mountain is a rare outcropped stone mountain within a radius of 100 miles, with an abyss on one side and water on one side, and the geographical location is very good. The Bluestone Bandit Group is a relatively well-known large-scale bandit group in the southern part of the Shadow Song Forest, including a small organization such as the Quartet Rogue Group, which must pay tribute on a regular basis to be able to exist.

In addition, there are two bandit groups that occasionally come over to rob houses, one is an organization similar to the Quartet Bandit Group, which is organized by the lawless villagers of the other nearby villages, called the South Ten Village Bandit Group, which belongs to a gentle bandit group with a relatively bottom line.

The other is composed of real murderers who are running around, which is called the very common evil wolf bandits.

They are not many in number, but they are powerful, and they roam all over the Shadow Song Forest to commit crimes, and even the Bluestone Bandit Group cannot restrain them. It can be as short as half a month, but at most 2 or 3 months, and these guys will come to extort and rob, and the methods are extremely cruel.

Sometimes they even go to nearby towns to do big business, such as last month, when they attacked the town of Madrigal, robbing several wealthy families. In the end, not only were people killed, but even the house was destroyed.

Luo Xia sorted out the information he obtained, and temporarily drew the evil wolf group in his heart, and the bluestone bandit group would not intersect with him for a while. At least before the new order was delivered, Luo Xia, a squad leader of a dozen or so soldiers, only needed to guard his own one-third of an acre.

The remaining Quartet Rogue and the South Ten Village Rogue Troop. It's a question mark, how to deal with it needs to be investigated and contacted, anyway, the strength of these two bandit groups can't threaten him.

In the end, Luo Xia didn't embarrass this idiot who set fire to his house, but he didn't run away.

Village Chief Huo is so old, it's not easy to have a stupid son, so it's better to give him back.

And he also needs him to help him pass on a word.

As for the remaining two captives, excuse me, some labor is still needed for the establishment of the outpost, which was temporarily requisitioned.

Obviously, Luo Xia's attitude is to pull and fight, co-opt and threaten and restrain moderate organizations like the Quartet Rogue Group, use them as his ear wire, and then concentrate on dealing with real bandit gangs like the Wolf Bandits.

But, will things really happen the way he thinks?

… …

At this time, the madrigal is in the town.

In a dilapidated tavern, several figures sat around and whispered.

At this time, a thin middle-aged man walked in from outside the door, went straight to the table of several people and sat down, and said in a heavy tone: "It's confirmed, the third and the four of them are all dead." ”

After a moment of silence, a wicked man with a beard and a scarred face poured a large glass of wine and slammed it on the table: "Who did it?" ”

Not only his face, but also his arms, and even all the exposed body parts had dense and disgusting wounds, and the whole person, like a rock demon crawling out of hell, gave people a beast-like ferocity.

"The third brother and two brothers died at the hands of a big boy, and another brother was killed by another man along with the idiot named Wu Quan."

"What about people?"

It was still the previous thin man, and he glanced at the scar-faced villain carefully, "The one who killed the third child is called Kuikui, who came from Xingnan City... I lost my trace yesterday, and I guess I've gone back..."

"Went back? Then write down this account first, and when the things here are done, then go to him to settle the account, what about the other person? ”

"Luo Xia is the chief non-commissioned officer sent by Southern Xinjiang to build an outpost... People should be in the area of Wind Chime Village. ”

The scar-faced evil man asked suspiciously, "A non-commissioned officer major, can you kill that guy named Wuquan?" What the way to come. ”

"According to... It is said that this non-commissioned officer was transferred from MI3 and seems to have taken refuge because of the involvement of a high-ranking internal officer. ”

"It's interesting, an agent from MI3 who came to take refuge killed the deputy head of MI2's special intelligence team, it's really interesting hahaha." The scar-faced villain laughed loudly, but there was not the slightest smile on his face: "What about the order?" ”

"Hehe, I guess it was taken by that master major. Big brother, you are really clever in this trick, deliberately deceived Wu Quan, that idiot, and said that we still keep the person, and let him keep the appointment to deal with the follow-up. Originally, if I could get it back afterwards, I would send it to the Black Scale Army, but I didn't expect it to be taken away directly, saving us a lot of things. ”

"Long-winded. You go and tell Wu Qi about this, the order of the big leader is to make us make trouble, since we want to make trouble, naturally the bigger the better, is it better to let these eagles and dogs mess up by themselves. ”

Scarface stood up sharply: "Tell the brothers, finish what you are doing as soon as possible." Then, let's go and have some fun, our people can't die in vain! ”

'Boom' In the old tavern, more than a dozen figures stood up without saying a word, and quickly chased after the villain.

In the tavern, including the tavernkeeper, the bartender, and several innocent customers, all of them have died in different places...

On the other side, the village chief Huo, who was deeply hit, left Fengling Village in frustration to join his cousin, the mayor. As Luo Xia's reward for sparing his son, Village Chief Huo temporarily handed over the power to manage the village to him. Although, his second son is resurrected with full blood, and he doesn't know where to run to continue to pursue his dream of being a thief...

This made Luo Xia a little crying and laughing, and he even sympathized with this poor old man who looked sinister but had the heart of a fist and a son.

With Luo Xia's 'power' in his hands, the establishment of the Wind Chime Outpost has entered the track of rapid development.

I chose a tall hill with a wide view and convenient transportation, and I can see the tall hill within a dozen miles at the same time, including Fengchime Village and 3 other nearby villages.

Luo Xia arranged for soldiers and some of the hired villagers to start cutting down trees to build houses, hammering stones to pave roads, and using mountain springs to build water reservoirs and other facilities.

The villagers, who were originally a little apprehensive, found out that the officer really paid for housing and labor, and they immediately became enthusiastic and joined in one after another, and at the same time greatly accelerated the construction of the project.

Everything is going in a good direction, there are no specific requirements for the outpost, and the commander can build whatever he wants. As long as you can live in it, and monitor and protect the surrounding villages, no one will ask if the castle is built.

Luo Xia naturally didn't build a castle.

There are still 2,500 gold coins in his pocket, and dozens of villagers are hired to work, although it will not cost much in a short time. But building a castle is a hole in the brain.

In other words, if it weren't for the fact that the food belonged to the military, and there were many wild things in the forest and there was no need to spend money to supplement the food, Luo Xia would not be so generous, and he would post money to speed up the progress.

So how did the good more than 20,000 gold coins not fall? First, the small 10,000 yuan was used to pay for the tuition of alchemy and buy gifts for Jiaojiao, then half of Jiaojiao was divided, and then half was blackmailed by Van Gogh.

This strange way of spending money in half is really the only choice for losers.

To get back to the point, Luo Xia plans to build the outpost into a small cottage that can accommodate a hundred people, and after building a place to live, he will fence it and build a few watchtowers.

Then design a set of flags, with a good vision advantage and be able to communicate with their own people from a distance...

Just thinking about it, some children who followed the adults up the mountain surrounded him and asked him to tell stories, Luo Xia was not annoyed, although life here was hard, but it made him feel a sense of lightness flying out of the cage. Even watching these bear children jumping up and down all day long makes me feel a lot cuter.

casually is a journey to the west, which makes these children stunned, and they have to carry sticks all over the mountains and fields every day.

Luo Xia sometimes thinks that this kind of life is not bad.

But apparently, just a sigh of emotion.

This is not his pursuit.

As the village chief's son never returned, the Quartet Rogue Group was not invited to the appointment. On the contrary, every day, someone peeks at the construction on the mountain from a distance.

Luo Xia was not in a hurry at all, but began the training of his subordinate sergeants.

Ten regular soldiers to say that in addition to the fact that most of them are new recruits and one or two old fritters, the military quality is still okay. The requirements of the Black Scale Army are not low, so these soldiers are full of tacit understanding under continuous training. Although there is no military artifact, the power exerted is limited, but it is not a big problem to deal with one or two professionals who have just entered the blood-bearing realm.

However, the thirty or so militiamen, who belonged to the subordinates of the magistrate of Pastoral Town, were usually content with the status quo and lacked training, and they were all good at their work. But the marching drills, not even a queue can be lined up, it's just spicy.

Luo Xia practiced for a few days, and these guys complained bitterly, but they didn't use their fart. The concept is not right, fundamentally speaking, they joined the militia just to live a better life, and they don't care about the current chaotic form at all.

So these militias are almost useless in a short period of time, and Luo Xia has no choice but to gather a few part-time hunters on weekdays as a long-range defense class, and the others will protect them.

Out of sight.

This is also a helpless choice, an army without legion weapons will have no ability to resist in the face of powerful professionals, especially those after the Blood Melting Realm. What's the use of training well?

Luo Xia somewhat understood Van Gogh's intention to let him bring a legionary weapon.

It's just that he has no one to use.

Except for Zhao Hu, the warriors of the Black Scale Army were destined to become his personal armies, and Luo Xia could not contract them to the legion. I originally wanted to find some soldiers in the militia, but when I saw their half-dead appearance, I was also half cold.

Even if the contract object of the legion weapon could be replaced, he didn't want to waste that effort.

The only thing that left a good impression on him was probably the militia leader.

Lu Yan, 27, 8 years old, has a calm appearance, a lean physique, a dark face, and a height of about 180 as Luo Xia, but has a pair of calloused hands. It's a very self-disciplined person.,But his own talent is mediocre.,No matter how much you train, you can't meet the minimum standards of a demon breeder.。

Indeed, anyone can become a demon breeder, as long as they are not afraid of death. But the puppet magic stone is not something that can be obtained casually, and each force will naturally have selection criteria when choosing candidates.

A person with poor physical talent means that there is a high probability of failure, and naturally there will be no one to invest and woo.

is like Lu Yan, a tragedy who reached the realm of inheriting blood, but no one was willing to invest in him a puppet magic stone.

"So, think about it. With the strength of your body, even with the Puppet Magic Stone, it will be difficult to withstand if you want to inoculate any kind of blood. And those who become the master of the legion will not be so powerless when facing other professions. And once the legion is promoted, it is also an opportunity for the main deed. ”
