Chapter 48: Nabal

"Oh, who is it, so powerful, that even your Midas mercenary group can defeat it?" Suke handed the beer to everyone and asked casually.

"Nabal!" Midas took another long sip before speaking.

"Oh, it's the new pirate king, no wonder it's so powerful." Suke nodded and walked back to the counter with the tray.

"Pirate King, what do you mean?" Midas apparently hadn't heard the news.

"Oh, that's new today." Suke gestured to the announcement posted on the wall.

A new wanted notice appeared on the bulletin board, which depicted a bearded Nord wearing a horned helmet, and underneath it was written the wanted pirate king Nabal, with a bounty of 10,000 dinars, whether he lived or died. Underneath is the signature of Harrick, the sheriff of Chanda Town.

Li Mu glanced at the wanted notice and knew that Nabar should have come out to move. The area of activity of the other side is on the left bank of the Yum River, that is, the area from Saggs to Tiha in Nord, and rarely on the side of the town of Chanda on the right bank of the Yum River. This is also one of the reasons why Li Mu did not meet each other on these trips.

"Well, it looks like I'm going to go to Suggs tomorrow to have a look, and by the way, go to the True Sword Arena to see if the wandering swordsman is there. Well, it's time to move forward with the following plot progression. Li Mu paid attention while drinking wine.

The next day, Li Mu took Manid, Macha, Jamila and Kress across the stone bridge across the Yum River and galloped towards Suggs on the left bank of the Yum River.

"Boss, there are traces of a small group of people moving forward." Mama Cha rode back from the front quickly.

"How many people are there, and what flags are flying?" Li Mu restrained the war horse.

"There were less than fifty people, and no flags were hoisted. And the costumes are also relatively scattered, looking like pirates. However, it is much better equipped. ”

"Let's go, let's take a look." Li Mu thought for a while, rode his horse to a small hillside not far away, and looked down the mountain.

At the edge of the woods, not far from the bottom of the mountain, fifty men sat in twos and threes, all dressed in chain mail or short-chain shirts, wearing Germanic helmets, and with a variety of weapons in their hands: longbows, swords, two-handed axes, short spears, and more one-handed axes and shields.

"There are no blouses, no flags, no insignia on the shields, and no standard equipment, so it seems that they are either mercenaries or pirates." Li Mu looked at the group and judged silently.

"Boss, look." Mama Cha pointed to a pirate who had just come out of the woods.

Li Mu looked in the direction indicated by Mama Cha and found that a tall man had come out of the woods.

The man wore a horned helmet, infantry plate armor, plate armor boots on his feet, and a long-poleed battle axe in his hand. The axe of the tomahawk is also carved with a hollow pattern, and the blade of the axe reflects a cold light in the sunlight. It seems that just one glance can make people chill and lose their fighting spirit.

"Sure enough, it's Nabal." Li Mu took a closer look at the other party's appearance and found that the other party was the same as the portrait on the wanted warrant.

"Boss, the bounty of 10,000 dinars, should we go and do a vote?" Mama Tea looked at Nabal like she was looking at a pile of moving money bags.

"It's not busy, it's still early, there are so many people on the other side, we can't just fight so hard, and the other party still has bows and arrows." Li Mu said lightly.

"Oh, what do you say, boss?" Mama Cha wiped the saliva from her mouth and said.

"Well, you don't have poison, it doesn't have to be lethal, coma, weak, diarrhea, as long as it can make people incapacitated. In addition, it is best to be able to delay the onset. Li Mu continued to scan the arrangement of the pirates.

"Yes, yes, but not in large quantities." Mama Tea checked her package and said.

"It's okay, give it all to me, I'll spice up their dinner. By the way, these things of yours are colorless and odorless. Li Mu put away a large pile of various potions that Mama Tea took out.

"That's for sure, it's the most basic requirement for us to make poisons that are colorless and odorless. If there is a bad smell, it will be too easy for people to notice. Mama Tea spread her hands helplessly. However, boss, it is not easy to get these medicines into the other party's soup pot, and the other party's guards are quite tight, although they seem to rest at will, but in fact, there are people guarding the entire camp in all directions, and there is no gap left. It's hard to get in. ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as I want to drugged, no matter how tightly they defend, it's useless. Okay, let's go down and tell them to get some rest, they have work to do tonight. Li Muyi urged the war horse to run down the mountain.

The cool breeze was blowing, and the golden sun was slowly setting to the west again. The sunset turns the horizon red. Smoke rose from the pirate camp in the woods, and the pale white smoke drifted into the sky with the glow. From a distance, it looks like usual, and if you don't look closely, who knows that there is actually a pirate group gathered in this small forest. And it is a direct unit of the Pirate King.

"Damn it, if it weren't for those damn pirates, we would have drunk the broth instead of nibbling bread here." Manid said, taking a bite of dry and hard bread.

"Well, if it weren't for the fear of the smoke attracting the attention of the pirates, we would have eaten roast rabbit today. If the battle ends early today, I will treat you to roast rabbits. Mama Tea patted Manid on the shoulder, and then continued to fiddle with a few fat rabbits that she had caught.

"It's nice to have bread to eat, I didn't eat for days and nights when I was kidnapped by the Dark Pilgrims, and I didn't say anything. When hunting prey, it is common to gnaw dry bread in order to conceal their whereabouts. Kress didn't care, tossing the last piece of dry bread into his mouth, licking his fingers as he went.

"Do you think the boss can really succeed if he goes on his own?" Jamila took a sip and then changed the subject.

"I don't think it's easy, but if it's the boss, I think it's okay. Although, I don't know how to do it either. But my instincts told me to trust the boss. Mama replied without raising her head.

"Isn't it only a woman's intuition that is reliable?" Manid asked, confused.

"No, you haven't been on the battlefield, so you don't know, all veterans who have been on the battlefield, as long as they survive, will more or less form a kind of intuition on the battlefield, which can make them seek good fortune and avoid evil, and be able to survive in the complex battlefield environment. I don't know how it works, but I still follow my instincts. ”

"Is it really that powerful?" Jamila also came over.

"It's not like you've been on the battlefield for a few times yourself. No matter how much others say, it's better to feel it yourself. Mama Tea finally dealt with the rabbit in her hand.

"What are you talking about?" Li Mu's voice came from behind several people.

"Boss." Several people put down the things in their hands one after another and got up to salute.

"Everyone, hurry up and prepare, I've already put the seasoning in, and I'll do it in a while."

"Yes." The crowd agreed.
