Section 46 Robbery
Gray had been counting the time since he handed over a hundred sets of soldiers' equipment to Vic, and the armies on both sides of the camp were still as quiet as usual, with several patrolling cavalry patrolling back and forth along the river bank from time to time.

Occasionally, Gray would send out several waves to kill the West Bank men who tried to build towers, and the West Bank people seemed to be inexhaustible, sending them out to die every day.
It's late June, and if there is no news from Vic's side before the rainstorm in mid-July, Count Lockton will definitely not wait any longer, either a decisive battle, and then it will be up to God who wins or loses!
As the days passed, Gray would look at the endless backs behind the West Bank from time to time.
----------
In a damp cave more than 60 miles south of the town of Meijia, torches are lit every two steps, illuminating the originally dark cave.
The cave is very deep, a group of people carrying a dozen large wooden boxes, walking in the cave, not talking to each other, now this weather is really hot in the cave to light such torches, everyone's face is sweating profusely.
In the innermost part of the cave, Rena looked at the air outlet above her head and frowned, while Faun on the side was simply taking off her shirt.
"The gear has arrived! What now, Rena?" asked Faun.
Rena stared at Vic, who was too hot to pretend to be a gentleman, and asked softly, "Did the Earl of Lockton agree to all my requests?"
Vic nodded, "Yes! Miss Rena!"
Confirmed again, Rena nodded with satisfaction, now that she has got the promise she wants, now is the time for her to show her strength.
Rena turned her head to look at Faun, who was wiping her sweat vigorously, and asked, "Uncle Faun, how did you investigate the matter that I asked you to investigate some time ago?"
"In the early stage, the grain and grass of Viscount Donna's troops were mainly plundered from our land, and even now, they regularly send troops to various villages and manors to loot!"
"However, in the past ten days, they have begun to transport grain from their own territory, and I think that the grain of this land has been almost looted by them!"
When he said this, Faun sighed heavily, showing the sadness peculiar to an old man, but his son's face was full of resentment and unwillingness.
Vic immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly asked, "Have you found out their transportation routes!"
Faun nodded: "It's easy to check, they all take the main road, after getting it from Harrens, they usually rest in Mida Town for a few hours, and then transport the grain to the town of Meijia, and then the front barracks will send a large brigade of cavalry every other day to transport the grain!"
Rena had known that this was only for Vic, and that she had already had a plan, which she had also read about in a historical document, and she still despised the commander in her heart at the time, but she didn't expect to use it herself.
"How many troops does the food transport team have?" this is what Rena asked, she really didn't know this question, and she couldn't be blamed for it, after all, he was a rich lady a month ago.
"A thousand!" replied Faun.
Rena nodded, thought for a while, and then said, "Let our people spread the news of the food convoy among the refugees, just say that they only have a guard force of two hundred people! Remember, be careful when you speak, you must protrude a lot of food, and there are few guards!"
Vic's eyes lit up.
Faun and Zissen frowned and stayed aside, and Rena stared at the two of them: "Within two days, let all the refugees know the news, and at the same time let our people destroy all the food that can be eaten in this neighborhood!"
Vic was stunned when he heard this, and only then did he take a serious look at the woman with the bandage on the right side of his face, and Faun and Zissen, father and son, looked at her fixedly as if they were also meeting Rena for the first time.
"In addition, take out some of the money that my father has prepared, and buy off the leaders of the other refugee groups, they should have never seen so much money in their lives, like the previous merchants, pay half of it first, and pay the rest after it is done! In this way, by the third day, we will be able to organize thousands of refugee troops!" Reina's tone was calm and nervous and excited.
"Rena, your father's legacy is the hope of the rest of your life......!" Faun tried to persuade.
But before Faun could finish speaking, Rena interjected: "Uncle Faun, what's the use of so much money, my father wanted to buy a useful title even when he spent all his family fortune during his lifetime, but did he buy it? Can't buy it! Too much money for people like us is not necessarily a good thing!"
Ten days ago, when Rena heard that the nobles of the three towns had been ransomed by their relatives in the city of Herrien, the resentment in her heart could be imagined, why could the nobles redeem themselves with the ransom, and why the commoners couldn't?
Just because her family doesn't have the title of noble, she should be damned? Rena hates nobles and the rules of this world from the bottom of her heart, but what else can she do but scream silently?
The only thing you can do is try to be one of them!
As the three days passed, everything was going according to plan, and more and more people were starving to death, either the desire to survive, or the encouragement of others, or the being led by others, and the refugees began to move towards the official road west of Mida Town.
As time went on, the refugees gathered more and more, and the official roads were full of refugees.
The defenders of Mida Town were alarmed, and they had to send soldiers to drive them away to ensure the passage of the official road, and the refugees were still conscious at first, and when they saw a soldier coming, they hurriedly flashed to both sides of the road, so that the soldiers who came to drive them were very satisfied.
But just as the soldiers were taking it lightly, a group of refugees appeared out of nowhere, came up and slashed one soldier and seized his weapon, and then more soldiers were killed and their weapons were taken.
The other refugees saw that these soldiers were so incomprehensible, coupled with the excitement of the smell of blood and the resentment they had been feeling for a long time, they all swarmed up, and several squads of soldiers were immediately overwhelmed by the crowd.
"Everyone, get rid of these corpses, and then retreat to the side of the road, don't stand in the middle of the road!" I don't know who shouted, and then a group of people really scattered to the side of the road, and the others followed suit.
It is simply unrealistic to ambush the refugees, many of whom are dragging their families, and some women are still holding children in their arms, which is not suitable for ambushes at all.
However, the grain transport team will definitely pass through this road, after all, they have a task to do.
Time passed, and several teams of soldiers in Mida Town did not return to recover their lives, and they did not send anyone to come again, it seems that these soldiers often do this.
"The grain convoy is coming!" a young man ran in the middle of the road, shouting as he ran, but then there was a "whoosh" sound, and an arrow pierced the void and nailed the young man's throat, and he fell to the ground after a mouthful of hot blood spurted out of his mouth, and lost his breath after a few convulsions.
The nearby refugees were stunned by this sudden event and retreated in fright.
It was also at this time that the ground suddenly trembled violently, but I saw two squadrons of cavalry rushing quickly in the direction where the arrow had just been shot, and the refugees who were watching the excitement in the middle of the official road were immediately bumped into by the cavalry of these two squadrons, and then trampled into a pulp by the cavalry behind.
