At noon, Mo Yu and his party found a vacant place on the side of the road to eat and rest, although they were strong, although they could hold on longer, their horses could not run all the time.

Gawain and Gallo consciously went hunting, and the sage and master naturally came out and brought back a lot of game. After a while, a wild boar and two pheasants were thrown in front of Mo Yu, and Bella was responsible for using magic to make a fire, while Mo Yu would skin and gut the prey they brought back to make a barbecue or soup.

When the big pot of soup was about to be ready, suddenly a large team came from a fork in the road behind.

More than fifty slaves, tied with ropes and tied in a string, walked past them, driven by seven or eight guards, and the leader was dressed in decent metal armor and rode in front. His gaze swept over Mo Yu and the others, and he walked over without saying anything. The equipment and outfits of Mo Yu and the others looked very unusual, and he obviously didn't mean to come up and provoke.

Most of these slaves were very strong, and they could be seen to be young men who had been selected, but the guards did not pity them, and whoever walked slowly would be whipped mercilessly.

Perhaps the guards were hungry too, but the man in the lead took a look at his surroundings and ordered the guards to camp and rest.

The slaves were driven to one place and sat on the ground, and the guards selected a few men who seemed to be more obedient to fetch water, and waited for the water to come. He took out dry food from the bags carried by several slaves and threw it on the ground for the slaves to grab food.

Mo Yu and the others were preparing to eat while observing these people.

"This team is weird. Gallo said.

"How?" Gawain asked.

Gallo whispered to them, "These guards are not ordinary caravan guards, they are all from the Imperial Army. These slaves also look unusual, as is not the case with the slaves sold by the army.

They were all taken from the whole village, and they must have been men, women, and children, and they would not all be as strong as they are today. Generally, slave owners of such quality slaves will treat them well, so as not to get sick or injured and not be able to sell them for a good price, but these people don't seem to care about the state of the slaves at all, and just hurry up in time. In case it came to the place of delivery, the wounded and sick slave would lose a lot of money.

And the strangest thing is that they are going in the direction of the kingdom. It is a strange thing that the army of the empire captures slaves and sells them in the kingdom, just like stealing things and selling them to their masters!"

Bella said: "But these are not all from the kingdom, it seems that there are people everywhere." Many of them are still beasts. ”

Gallo said: "That's why it's strange." ”

Mo Yu has been cooking soup seriously, until Gallo said this, she raised her head and said: "What is there to guess about this, just grab the leader and ask him." ”

None of the people present had any affection for the slave traders, and they had robbed slave caravans more than once. As soon as Mo Yu's words came out, everyone's eyes lit up.

Gallo smiled: "It's still the boss who is the most refreshing, and he should solve the problem cleanly like this." Maybe you can even earn us some money for your journey. ”

He poked Gawain with his elbow and said, "Thug, it's time for you to get out of the horse." ”

Gawain said angrily: "This person is a middle-level knight at most, why should I make a move?"

Gallo said: "Because you have been doing this kind of work, professional." I'm just a little thief, so I can't do it to catch people head-on, right?"

Bella spread her hands and said, "I'm a priest......"

Mo Yu doesn't have to think about it, everyone is still waiting to eat her cooking.

Gawain had to get up from the ground and pinch his nose to do this, he now regretted that he didn't bring a few juniors out, and none of the three people in front of him did he almost move.

Gawain's current outfit was just a cloth coat with a sword, and he didn't look like some kind of vicious person, and those soldiers didn't look too vigilant when they saw him coming, and the slaves were even more indifferent to him, but the man in the lead frowned slightly, looked at him and said, "Who are you?

Gawain sighed and said, "Let's go, follow me, a few people over there have something to ask you." ”

The man said, "Why?"

"That's it. Gawain snapped his fingers, and there was a ping-pong sound around him, and the guards brought by the man fell to the ground one after another, and fainted one by one.

The man hurriedly stood up from the ground, but he did not dare to draw the saber at his waist, but asked tremblingly, "My lord, I will go with you, and I will answer any questions." Please don't ......"

"Let's go, if you are satisfied with the answers, I will naturally let you go. ”

Gawain brought the man to the side of several people, and sat down beside Mo Yu again. The man moved up and down several people, not knowing whether he should stand or sit.

Gallo waved his hand at him and said, "Answer the question well, we don't need to embarrass you for a mid-level." ”

"Yes, my lord, what do I have to answer. ”

"Tell me, what's going on with these slaves, why you, as the Imperial Army, sell slaves to the people of the kingdom. ”

"This ......" the man was visibly hesitant.

"Huh?" Gawain snorted.

The man swallowed and said, "That queen of the kingdom is buying slaves, so ...... Somebody will sell the slaves over there. ”

"Who is someone?" asked Gallo, "at least you're a detachment leader, right?"

"This ...... It was a secret deal between the nobles and the queen of the kingdom. I'm just one of them. The man said.

"Do you mean that there are many people transporting slaves on the other side of the kingdom?" asked Gallo again.

"Yes, the kingdom is very particular, as long as they are young and strong, they only trade at night. My team is ready to hand over to them tonight. ”

"Is it at the previous level?"

"No, it's in a small village next to the checkpoint. The man said.

Gallo now felt that there was a strange feeling everywhere in this matter. Not only him, but even Gawain became more serious, and they all smelled something unusual. Gallo asked again: "But why do you treat these slaves like this, why do you treat them like this, aren't you afraid that they will be injured and will not be able to sell them for a price?

The man said: "This is the explanation of the adults, the delivery time of the kingdom is very tight, if I can't get there tonight, this business will be yellow." Anyway, the kingdom will pay according to the number of heads, ten golden axes per person, even if they are disabled and they can't use it, they will pay the same, but they can't be filled with the old and weak, and they must be alive. ”
