Chapter 238: Demon Spirit Thieves (4)
Barron could guess that there was a peak wizard apprentice-level powerhouse behind the Demon Spirit Thieves, and the others also thought of this, and suddenly the entire castle in the hall fell into silence.
After a while, Bill cautiously asked, "So what are we going to do in the future?"
Barron thought for a while and said, "Bill, you personally go to the Curtain City and tell Duke Darker or Viscount August about the Demon Spirit Thieves Regiment, it seems that this matter needs to be done by the Zhenbei Corps and even Duke Dark!"
If it was just a group of demon spirit thieves with hundreds of bandits, or just a peak wizard apprentice-level powerhouse Barron wouldn't be too worried, although he might not be the opponent of a powerhouse of this level now, he would not be powerless to fight back.
But when the two are combined, Barron is now in an absolute weakness, and even with the addition of Aldridge and Van Lentien, the situation may not be much better.
"Yes!" Bill quickly turned and walked out of the hall after hearing Barron's words.
After Bill left, Barron said to Van Lentien: "Van Lentien, I will give you 50 gold coins, and all the horses, weapons and equipment in the castle, including last night's trophies, will be at your disposal." ”
"I need you to start forming the guard of the Mobile Leader immediately, you will be the captain of the guard, and the personnel of the guard will also be at your disposal, my request is to form the guard as soon as possible, and the number shall not be less than a hundred!"
Fan Luntieen hesitated for a moment and then said, "According to the equipment available now, it is enough to arm a hundred-man guard, and 50 gold coins are almost enough for two months' salary for a hundred-man guard. “
"But as far as I know, the Mobile Leader was recruited by Viscount Carter some time ago to recruit a large number of young people, and the current Mobile Leader is not able to recruit enough suitable soldiers, even if there are enough soldiers, these people are basically new recruits, without any foundation, so without more than a few months of training, these soldiers will not be of great use at all!"
"Do you have any ideas?" Now that Van Lentien had already raised the question, it was clear that he already had a solution.
Sure enough, Van Luntieen said without hesitation: "Last night's captive!"
"Those thieves of the Demon Spirit Thieves Band, will it have a bad effect?" Barron wondered how Van Lentien would have thought of choosing these members of the Bandit Band.
In this regard, Fan Luntien had already planned: "Lord Barron, although these thieves last night were all members of the Demon Spirit Thieves Group, but I also said just now that the real core of the Demon Spirit Thieves Group only has six leaders, and the rest of the ordinary thieves have been forcibly annexed by them in the past few months. ”
"The thieves who were captured last night, they were not originally part of the Demon Spirit Thieves Group, in fact, their origins are very complicated, there are members of the Thieves Group who were forcibly annexed, there are soldiers who broke other towns when they were attacked by the Four Lords, there are also deserters when the Four Lords were defeated, and even some refugees caused by the war. ”
"Although the source is complicated, this point is the most reassuring point for our Mobile Leader, because they can't hold a group, and I won't give them a chance to fight back, I will ask Aldrich to help, use his illusion ability, and pick out the more influential people among the thieves to be executed, so that nothing goes wrong. ”
"And this group of people often have certain combat skills and the ability to cooperate with small teams, and with a little training, they can build the framework of the guard. ”
"As for the impact, the two leaders of the thieves have already been killed, and the rest of the ordinary thieves who died in battle, plus those who were executed later, there must be at least thirty or so people, as long as their bodies are hung in the square in the center of the town, the whole town will not react!"
Barron nodded, and since he was ready to let Fan Luntieen do it, he didn't ask more, and said directly: "Then do what you want!"
"Yes!" Van Lentien said, and excitedly pulled Aldrich towards the outside of the hall, it seemed that he was also in a hurry to form the guard of the Mobile Lord.
......
......
After Aldrich had all three of them gone, Barron went to the balcony of the castle again, and began to really look at the town that already belonged to him, it was so dark last night that he couldn't see anything even from the balcony.
But now that the sun was rising, Barron looked from the balcony of the castle and saw in front of him the town's houses lined up one after another, crisscrossing large and small roads, neatly dividing the whole town into several pieces.
This town, which has been renamed Mobile Town, has nearly 5,000 people before the rebellion of the four major lords, and although it is called a town, its actual scale is no worse than that of some smaller cities.
You must know that the Golden Lion City of Count Harold is known as the second largest city in Scanning, and the population of the city is only a little more than 20,000 people.
However, it is a pity that with the rebellion of the four major lords, although this place was not affected by the war as the base camp of Viscount Carter, because of the response to various wars, Viscount Carter drew a lot of militia and young men from the town to supplement his army.
Because a large number of militia and young men were taken away, after Viscount Carter was defeated and fled to the Icewind Kingdom, Mobile Town lost a little bit of its ability to defend and once fell into the hands of thieves led by Rusen.
After a few tosses, the number of people in the town has been greatly reduced, especially the proportion of young and strong people is even rarer.
While Barron was still looking at his town, Van Lentien, who was supposed to form the guard, suddenly turned back and said to Barron: "Lord Lord, this is Sherat, the son of the original mayor, and he said he wanted to see you. ”
Barron glanced at a middle-aged man who was standing in the distance waiting for a rather delicately dressed man, and knew that this person was the son of the mayor of the town in Van Luntien's mouth, so he nodded and motioned for Van Luntien to bring the other party over.
The middle-aged man walked to Barron's side, suddenly fell to his knees, and then burst into tears: "Woo woo! Dear Viscount Mobile, our whole town is finally looking forward to your arrival!"
Barron was stunned by the other party's actions, and a big man suddenly knelt down in front of them and cried, leaving him at all confused what was going on?
At this time, Van Luntien stepped forward and whispered to Barron: "The original old mayor died at the hands of the group of people who attacked the castle yesterday, and he was hung in the square in the center of the town, which is why Sheilat is so excited!"
