Chapter 4 Hunger and Hunger Food

Digby had no choice, and he first told Avi and Fan everything he knew in the basement. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Avi and Fan then learned that all the taverns in this town had colluded with the bandits in the Ces mud area, and most of the taverns and inns would provide accommodation, if the caravan and mercenary guards lived together, they would never attack it, and ordinary travelers would not be targeted, Avi and Fan were not the targets of robbery, but they just happened to live with the caravan in front of them.

Moreover, although the bandits here are hidden in various mountains, in fact, several bandits belong to the same bandit leader, and Digby has never seen the appearance of the bandit leader, but he heard that the leader is called "Bearfinch", and he is the actual controller of the entire Cesi mud area, and even the mayor of every town here will be afraid of him.

There are clear rules for bandits here, they are not allowed to rob the same town in a row, the interval between two robberies cannot be less than ten days, and they can only choose one inn or tavern to loot at a time. Unfortunately, the caravan that lived with Avi and the others had become a target for the bandit leader, a result that Digby didn't even know about when he pitched this morning, and he was only forced to do so.

Seeing that Digby was trembling all over, and even his speech was a little unclear, Avi was also moved by compassion. If it is true that Digby said, then the inhabitants of the Czes mud district are also victims. They could not leave their homeland, and they had to live under the power of bandits.

The big-nosed fan didn't feel it at all, he just kept asking about the bandits. Digby claimed to have told them everything he knew, and he made it clear that he could take them to the bandits' stronghold, but he had only been there once, and had never entered the stronghold.

"Have you been?" asked Fan.

"I've been there once... That's when they paid me..."The talkative local guide was gone, and now the young native was trembling under Avi's dagger, his eyes daring to look directly at Avi and Van as if he would anger them by doing so.

Avi and Van left Digby in the room and walked outside the hallway to whisper plans. After a while, the two of them were able to get Digby out, and the other party said that the owner of the tavern did not live here, and that he was supposed to "clean" the basement tonight, so even if they swaggered out of town, the residents would not notice them. Moreover, the inhabitants here are not in league with the bandits, they have also become the accomplices of those bandits under coercion and temptation, after all, in the neutral area of this Zesi mud area, they can only rely on themselves if they want to live.

Avi asked Fan to contact the mercenaries who had lived elsewhere, and when the mercenaries who were supposed to protect the caravan heard that their employer had been captured by the bandits, most of them expressed their reluctance to follow them up the mountain to rescue them. Of the more than forty mercenaries, only ten were willing to follow them, and their idea was simple - those bandits were just petty thieves, and if they could successfully rescue the merchants who had set out from the territory of the Oguna Empire, they might be able to get a lot of money. The rest of the mercenaries claimed that they would return to the territory of the Oguna Empire to bring rescue troops, after all, they had neither a squadron leader nor a regimental commander here, and only a squad leader followed these merchants, so they could not make any big decisions.

The group of mercenaries gave Ah Wei and Fan two swords, and when they learned Digby's identity, they discussed with Ah Wei and Fan. They are tasked with attacking the thieves, while Avi and Fan escort the locals to rescue the captured merchants.

"If those bandits kill us, hehe," the mercenary led by the ten mercenaries turned his back to Avi and sneered, "Then you two little ghosts will rescue those people, anyway, if Lao Tzu is killed by the bandits, it will prove that Lao Tzu is not even as good as a bandit." ”

The choice of the ten mercenaries made Avi feel a little admiration in his heart, and he and Fan escorted Digby to the north. After walking for about an hour, they finally came to a large forest. Digby points out that deep in the forest there is a passage to the bandits' stronghold, but it is also possible to bypass the forest and go straight up the mountain. He said that there might be wild animals in the forest, and suggested that it would be better to take a detour.

Avi noticed signs of horses passing by, which should be the route the bandits had taken back to their stronghold. After the mercenary squad leader discussed with Avi, they decided to follow the route of the bandits' retreat to the cottage and slowly move forward.

"What if those guys were like Ayana and hid in a tree and gave us dark arrows?" Van asked, having lost the big nose of the catapult iron gun, to Avi.

"Those bandits are human too, and they probably wouldn't have guessed that someone would come to their hometown in the middle of the night," Avi had thought about it before, but he noticed Digby's twinkle as he said the detour, "We just need to sneak out of the guys who are guarding the perimeter."

One of the ten mercenaries had been a thief, and he told everyone that the most likely places for the sentry bandits to appear were to follow him and grope their way forward.

It didn't take long for Avi to hear several owls chirping. The owls' voices suddenly changed to the whispers of animals, each chirping that allowed Avi to hear what they were saying clearly.

"Those humans have taken over our trees again!"

"There's the nest I just picked today!"

"I'm going back to see if the humans are gone!"

When Avi heard this, he immediately followed the voice of the owl and chased after him. The people behind him didn't know what he wanted to do, but in order to avoid distraction, they had to follow closely behind Avi.

Avi followed the owls flying in the forest, slowly approaching what they called "the nest occupied by humans". It wasn't until the owls stood on a tree, grumbling, that Avi relied on the light of the moon and faintly saw the figure of the big tree in front of him.

The people behind also followed, but as soon as they saw Avi looking at the high place intently, everyone immediately held their breath and hid behind Avi motionlessly.

The man in the tree seemed to sense something, and immediately jumped down from the tree and slowly approached Avi's side. Immediately the owls flew up to the tree with cheers, and they stared closely at the back of the sentry bandit with their glowing eyes. And in an instant, Avi pulled out his dagger and pounced, delivering a fatal blow to the bandit.

The sentry bandit was stabbed in the heart with a dagger, and before he died, he saw only the eyes of the owls standing on the branches.

"Humanity is dead! Humanity is killing each other!"

"Great! This human is finally rolling away in my territory!"

The owls were cooing, and the crowd behind Avi came up and praised the brave and agile boy. Even the mercenary who claimed to have been a thief sighed to himself, if it were him, he might not be able to see the bandits hiding in the trees so far away. For the rest of the road, the thief-turned-mercenary cleared out the other two bandits on the road according to his own methods, and Avi also heard the whispers of other animals on the road, and got the same accurate judgment as this mercenary, but he did not stand up for the show, but followed the back of the team, silently walking forward.

When the group went to the place where Digby had been, Digby immediately claimed that the mountain was the base camp of the bandits. Although the bandit boss "Bearsparrow" in the Czes Mud District does not necessarily live in this stronghold, there are many strongholds connected to each other, so everyone must be cautious, otherwise it is impossible for everyone to escape with their whole body.

"Can you let me go here?" Digby pleaded with Avi.

Avi and Fan exchanged a look, "In order to ensure that our whereabouts are not discovered, you still need to follow us." ”

Digby hesitated for a moment before saying, "But... But that 'Bearfinch' has a weapon of life..."

"Life weapons?"

"That's right! a cannibal weapon of life!"
