As Su Hao expected, only two of the ten pirates guarding the nest patrolled along the coast, and the other eight were resting, so Su Hao and the others directly raised their knives and killed them in their sleep.

They then searched their weapons and equipment warehouses and storage boxes, and after counting, they seized 6,800 gold dinars, 50,000 silver dinars, and countless copper dinars, more than 100 weapons of all kinds, including riding spears, spears, maces, swords, bows, and crossbows, and 10,000 bows and arrows, in addition to 30 wooden, iron-plated, and Germanic shields, 27 inset hoods, helmets, and Germanic helmets of varying quality, and 20 sets of leather armor, breastplates, inlays, and chain armor, either mutilated or intact. 1 set of Virginia Heavy Hooded Armor to be repaired, 1 set of Virginia Heavy Horse Armor to be repaired.

The baggage warehouse found 49 bags of wheat, 76 skewers of smoked fish, 32 pieces of cheese, 14 cans of cured meat, and 34 bags of vegetables and fruits that are easy to store for a long time, such as potatoes and citrus, as well as 8 bags of salt, 2 boxes of pig iron, 2 bales of raw silk, and a number of other supplies.

Needless to say, the importance of this kind of goods is needless to say, and it is worth mentioning that they also found a bundle of velvet and a bag of spices, which are extremely expensive luxuries, so to speak, velvet is an essential material for sewing dresses for nobles of the rank of earl and above, and spices can be used to make medicine and perfumes.

Finally, in the stables, two touring horses for riding and three pack horses for carrying goods were found.

Su Hao was secretly happy in his heart: This is it!

The reason why he helped the Loire people to avenge was not for any moral purpose, let alone for the sake of his compatriots, but for the sake of his countrymen, his real purpose was wealth and a team that was only in his own hands!

In the medieval world of horseback riding and slashing, in the continent of Calradia, where the kingdoms are divided and the kingdoms rise, first of all, you can only chase everything you want if you pull up a team of your own, such as plundering wealth, breaking away from the grassroots, joining the ranks of the nobility, entering the upper ranks of this continent, becoming a vassal of a country, and carving out a territory of your own, obtaining a knighthood, and sitting on the position of lord above those ten thousand people!

This great wealth in front of you, and the hearts and minds of the people in the Loire village, is your chance to gain great power!

He looked around again, and the Loires had the same shocked and greedy expressions, they had never seen such great wealth in their lives...... Together, they're all a glowing mountain of gold!

A box of golden dinars is more attractive than ten Avril!

Su Hao's fiery heart suddenly cooled down, he grabbed a handful of gold dinars, held them tightly, feeling the unique cold touch of the gold coin, and then one by one the dinars slipped down from his palm, but he only had one feeling, that is......

Hot

It's incredibly hot.

After a long time, he said: "This wealth was originally plundered by this group of pirates from your village of Loire, and now, now that the hatred has been washed away, it is time to return it to its original owner." ”

The people around him listened and looked at him with amazement and disbelief, yes, unbelievable, for the nature of exploration and plunder had penetrated into the marrow of every Nord, in the blood, in the mind, and... In the depths of their souls.

How could anyone give up such a large sum of low-hanging fruit?

Dwight stammered a little and asked, "Forgive me, sir, are you going to give us this fortune in the Loire?" ”

Su Hao nodded and said, "Yes, I only take my share." ”

After a long time, the eyes of those Loire people looking at Su Hao changed, no longer shocked and doubtful, but grateful and respectful, especially Dwight, whose feelings for Su Hao have risen from "admiration" to "worship".

Strong, agile, martial, intelligent, resourceful, eloquent, and... Brave, selfless, noble!

These nouns can be used as labels to be perfectly attached to Su Hao's body, without any sense of disobedience.

It was he who regained the courage and dignity of our Loire.

It was he who washed away this sea of blood and hatred for us.

It was he who led us to this great wealth!

He suddenly discovers that this is a master worthy of his life's following!

Su Hao took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Don't leave any of these things, let's move away." ”

After a long time, a neat and loud cry came from the island:

"Yes, Mr. Su!"

……

It was only after gathering all the sampans, fishing boats, sea boats, and the only dhow and multi-oared sloop that they brought all the weapons, equipment, grain, grass, horses, baggage, and wealth back to the seashore, and mobilized a large number of Loire villagers, trailers and other means of transport to bring this wealth back to the Loire village.

When all this wealth was piled up in the central square of the village, the village chief just looked at Su Hao in silence for a long time before asking, "Are you sure you want to give these to us Loire?" ”

"I'm sure, I'm only taking my share."

"How much do you want?"

"1,000 gold, 3,000 silver, 30 shields, 30 weapons, 20 crossbows and arrows, 15 intact armor helmets, the steppe steed on which the leader of the pirates sits, 1 traveling horse, 2 pack horses, the heavy horse armor and heavy armor, velvet, spices, 2 bags of salt, 2 crates of iron and 5 bags of wheat, 10 skewers of smoked fish, 6 cans of cheese, 5 cans of bacon, 3 bags of vegetables and fruits."

"Others, including ships, are handed over to you, and you can use them to reorganize the militia, to build mills and estates, to break new ground, to build fishing boats, and so on... In short, they belong to you! ”

The old village chief thought about it for a long time, and then asked for the opinions of others, before nodding heavily and saying, "Yes." ”

When all these things were packed, and at the same time the pack cart was attached to the pack horse and loaded with the goods, the old village chief finally asked, "Is there anything else to do, sir?" ”

Su Hao asked with a smile:

"Excuse me, are there young men here who want to find a future in the war?"

The old village chief looked at him deeply, and he read two words from his eyes, and that was... Ambition.

……

Loire responded to Su Hao's call for conscription, but in the end, Su Hao, at Ken's suggestion, only selected 13 young men who were strong and had the potential to become excellent soldiers.

The 13 Nord infantry who had experienced the first war, including Dwight, this was the first team that Su Hao had pulled up at present, and it was the seed force of the mercenary group that Su Hao used to form in the future.

Su Hao gave them armor, weapons, and shields, and gave two of them a longbow and a pot of arrows each.

It's interesting to see Dwight as a fisherman, but he's very good at spearfishing, and even fought sea sharks at sea! For such a filial and strong Nord warrior, Su Hao valued him very much, so Su Hao handed him a bag of heavy throwing spears that he secretly withheld, and let him ride the traveling horse.

Although he doesn't like to ride a horse, and wants to exist as an infantryman, he still rides at Su Hao's request, he has a little riding skills, although he can't control it as freely as the leader of the pirates, galloping across the country, but at least he can walk slowly.

All the people were asked to load supplies, including Su Hao, who was carrying food on his back and pushing a wheelbarrow, so that this small force was not like a mercenary army, but more like an escort force.

Men and women of the Loire came out of the village to say goodbye and even give cooked food to their livestock. They were grateful for such a warrior who had saved their parents, and Su Hao only accepted the cooked food and refused the livestock, because there were enough things. At this time, the old village chief came over tremblingly and asked, "Sir, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Su Hao pondered for a moment before he said to him, "The army of the Kingdom of Virgia is about to cross the border and come here. ”

"Are you sure? Where did you get the news? ”

Su Hao smiled and said, "I can't tell you where I got this news, but what I can tell you is that it's true." If you want to escape the war, I can recommend you a place to go. ”

"Where?" The old village chief's eyes were shining, even glowing.

"On the small islands where the pirates live, you, with your villagers, and the villagers from the surrounding villages, went to take refuge there."

Finally, he said earnestly: "Listen to me, go quickly, the sooner the better." ”

"Okay." The old village chief nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "If we survive, we will be grateful to you." ”
