Chapter Seventy-Nine is the Convoy Again

Lorist found himself in a ** annoyance.

This ** annoyance is the two or three hundred bandits who were captured, although these bandits came to block the gate of Fengyata Town, but they didn't have time to attack the town, and they were swept away by Lorist and a few people before they exchanged hands with the garrison. The leaders were killed, and the only bearded bandit leader left surrendered, turned around and became Lolist's loyal subordinates, and led Joske and his men to counterattack his lair.

As a result, these two or three hundred bandit captives became Lorist's personal trophies, which means that before the final decision on what to do with these bandit captives came out, Lorist had to take care of the food, drink, and accommodation of these captives.

The captain of the garrison with a bitter face was now smiling like a chrysanthemum, which made Lorist feel tired at first sight. He walked round and round Lorlist, as if he owed Lorist one hundred and eighty gold coins, lest he take care of him.

At this time, Lorist was sitting on the sofa chair sent by the captain of the garrison, slowly tasting the good fragrant tea sent by the captain of the garrison, and the captain of the garrison next to him was still urging his subordinates to send hot water and towels to wash Lorlist's face and dust off......

If this scene happened on the balcony of the hotel, Lorist would definitely feel very comfortable, but the problem was that at this moment Lorist was facing two or three hundred bandit captives sitting on their knees or squatting on the ground, which made Lorist feel as if he had become a monkey show, and the bandit captives in front of him were watching him.

"Are you sure you can't take over these bandits?" Lorist asked again.

"Of course, my lord, these people are your captives and your trophies. We must not infringe on the private property of a nobleman......" the captain of the garrison said righteously.

Lorist waved his hand irritably: "Then what do you say? If you refuse to take over these bandit captives, do I still have to pay to raise them as uncles? Or shall I release them all?"

"My lord, it's your private matter whether or not to let them go, but I have to warn you, these are bandits, and if you let them go, you're arsoning with thieves and disturbing the people, and I'm afraid that this will have an impact on your reputation, my lord..."

"Day, if I knew I would have killed it cleanly, I wouldn't have to worry about it now......" Lorist muttered.

The captain of the garrison shuddered, and the young nobleman was so murderous. However, he had no doubt about what Lorist said, who had seen that only five people had wiped out four or five hundred bandits, and that the gold-rank bandit leader who had caused the local lord to suffer two big losses, and the young nobleman had lost his head after only one face, and those silver-rank bandit leaders had almost been killed. These are the facts that happened in front of everyone, and I can see them clearly on the city wall.

Not only himself, but all the members of the garrison now respect this young nobleman like a god, and in one morning, the bandits who had been entrenched in the winding mountain road for several years for the area were wiped out, it was a dream.

The captain of the garrison stepped forward: "My lord, why are you in such a hurry. When the bandits blocked the door, I had already sent someone to warn the lord that as long as he waited a day or two, the lord would definitely arrive in this town. At that time, you can hand over these bandits to the lord, and the lord will give you the reward you deserve. In my opinion, these bandits are all gold coins. ”

"I'm not short of gold, I'm afraid of trouble right now. Say, 'Where are these bandits to be held?' Why don't you lend me the garrison's barracks?"

"Well, my lord, no, the garrison's barracks are too small to hold so many people. Moreover, the military camp is in the town, and so many bandits are imprisoned in the military camp, and if something happens, it is easy to make a big mess. I think the best way to do that is to camp on the spot. The captain of the garrison explained with a bitter face.

It's a good idea to camp on the spot, but it's a good way to cost Lorlist. First of all, you have to pay the camp management fee to the local lord, and secondly, you have to buy tents, fences and other materials, and the camp needs firewood and water, and you have to pay another resource consumption fee to the local lord. This is someone else's territory, even a stone is also the private property of the lord, and it is sacrosanct without paying a fee. Although these fees are not much, they also have to go through the formalities, which are the things that Lorist hates the most.

"...... day" Lorist stood up, took out a money bag and threw it to the garrison captain: "I haven't heard that you have to pay for the aftermath of killing bandits." I don't care, I'll go back and rest first. There are more than 20 gold coins in this money bag, so I ask the captain to help you go through the formalities to buy the materials and materials for camping, and the excess should be given to the hard work of the guards to help take care of it. ”

The captain of the garrison bowed respectfully: "Don't worry, my lordship, I will definitely do it properly......"

"Reddy......" Lorist shouted, "I'll be in your custody, be careful." In addition, let those few put away the weapons on the ground and everything, and the heads of the bandits and the wolf of the mountain are also kept, and they will be exchanged for bounties......"

"Yes, sir. "Reddy deserves to be crisp.

"Paralyzed, I can't kill a few bandits, I'm going to lose money......" Lorist muttered to himself.

......

Lorist returned to the Wine & Tired Bird Inn, ordered a big meal, and asked for a bottle of the famous local red wine. Although the morning fight ended quickly, it was also very draining, especially when he rode his horse and had to take care of his mount, which made Lorist feel very tired. After eating and drinking, Lorist slipped into the bed and slept in the dark.

Early the next morning, Lorist woke up feeling refreshed, and the exhaustion of seven consecutive days of rushing and fighting yesterday was swept away. When I ordered breakfast and brought it to my room, I suddenly remembered what Sedercamp had said when I came in last night, and I seemed to let him watch it and go back to sleep.

So Lorist got up and went to Pat and Sederkamp's room to look, but they were not there. I went to look at Reddy and Joske's room again, and Reddy wasn't there, but Josque was sleeping soundly.

Lorist knew that Joske, like himself yesterday, had a good night's sleep this time, and he didn't bother to go out and close the door, and after thinking about it, he decided to go outside the city to see what was going on with the bandit captives.

As soon as he left the city gate, Lorist saw the bearded Ovikis leading hundreds of people, dressed in bright armor and fully armed, in queues and sprinting training......

Uh, what's going on?

Lorist looked around and saw a dozen garrisons standing by watching the excitement......

The bearded Ovikis found out about Lorlist's arrival, and hurriedly issued an order to let the hundreds of troops stand up and rest for a while, and then ran to Lorist and saluted: "My lord, the guard team is training, please instruct!"

When will a whole team of guards come? Why don't I know? Lorist didn't get off his horse, but pointed to the more than 100 people standing there who were looking curiously at this side, and asked, "Where did you recruit them?"

The bearded Ovikis straightened his chest and replied loudly: "Lord Hui, the thirty-eight subordinates who originally belonged here had a lot of harvest in the cottage yesterday, and Lord Sedkamp asked for more than thirty people to help. When he returned, Lord Pat said, "It's better to just make a small team, and this time the Lord went back lightly, and it was very unseemly to bring no guards with him, so he picked another thirty people from among the captives to make up a guard team of one hundred and twenty people, and appointed his subordinates to serve as the team leader." Mistress Sedkamp had already reported to him last night. ”

"Well......" Loris nodded, and said in his heart, I slept in a daze last night, and I don't know what Sedecamp told me. He pointed to the bearded man's equipment with a horsewhip: "Are the people reliable? Also, the inner chain mail and the outer chain mail, you are fine with the silver rank, can those people stand it?"

"Your Excellency, it's fine. These people all know the roots, they are forced to be thieves out of desperation, and they usually don't do anything evil. In particular, they had all seen the divine power of the adults yesterday, and it was something they couldn't ask for to be able to serve the adults and get rid of the identity of the bandits. The subordinates promised that they would be loyal. Will not defect. As for the equipment on their bodies, they were all equipped by Master Sedkamp, and they had all awakened their fighting spirit, and these two sets of armor were not a problem for them. Lord Pat said that strong defense will not be easily sacrificed, and only then can you better protect adults. ”

"Protect yourselves, do I need you to protect me?" Lorist snorted unhappily.

"Where's Sedcamp?" asked Lorlist.

"Lord Return, Lord Sedercamp and Lord Reddy went to the city in the morning to procure, and Lord Pat is in the barracks. The bearded Ovikis replied.

Only then did Lorist find that the camp in front of him was divided into two parts, one large and one small, and the outside of the large camp was guarded by those garrisons, which seemed to be the place where the bandit prisoners were held, and the small camp should be the military camp that the bearded man said.

"Okay, since you want to be my subordinate, that's your own person, don't be so polite. But how can there be women and children in the camp?" asked Lorlist.

"This, my lord, the women and children in the barracks are relatives of their subordinates and some brothers in the guards. The women and children in the big camp were the families of the bandits, and Lord Joske was merciful enough to reunite them with them after he brought them back from the cottage last night. Some of them are the relatives of the cottage masters and the wives of the wolves who were killed yesterday. Some of them are very beautiful, and if you are interested, you will bring them up to serve your lordship......" said the bearded Ovikis in a serious manner.

Lorist "snapped" and gave him a whip: "Do your own thing, Lord Ben doesn't need you to pimp." ”

"Yes, sir!"

......

Lorist rode into the barracks and saw Pat respectfully escorting an old man out of the camp.

Seeing Lorist coming, Pat hurriedly pointed to Lorist and introduced to the old man: "Master Sid, this is our Lord Locke..."

The old man ignored it, and floated past Lorist with his head held high, without looking back.

Lorist dismounted, turned to look at the old man in the distance, looked back and asked Pat, "Who is this old man, so rude." ”

Pat spread his hands: "No way, he is a master, he was kidnapped by us yesterday, and he is naturally rude when he is angry." ”

"What kind of master is he, why do you want to kidnap him?" Lorist was curious, and said to himself, Pat, they were also kidnappers, and they were addicted to bandits?

"My lord, this old man is a treasure, he is a master of armor, you may not think that the hundred or so sets of chain mail and two hundred sets of chain mail that we took from the bandit were all made by this old man in the past three years. And this old man is also proficient in exploration and prospecting. We found an iron mine near the cottage, and the bearded Ovikis said that the old man found it, and the iron mined was used by the old man to make armor and weapons. ”

"So you tied him up?"

"Well, well, Sedkamp said that the family realm was in dire need of this Sid master, so we invited his whole family of ten or so to come over. Pat said a little embarrassed.

"Forget it, please come here, please come here, it's a waste to leave it here. Anyway, his service to the bandits is also considered our trophy, so naturally we have to dispose of it. What did Sedkamp and Reddy go shopping for?"

"My lord, it's like this, one is that we have harvested a lot of supplies in the cottage and want to transport them back. The other, as you can see, has added a squad of guards, and their relatives, plus Master Sid's family, and we need a lot of long-distance wagons and mounts. That's what Sedercamp went to town for. Pat said.

Yes, another convoy was tossed out.

Lorist looked at Pat helplessly: "Pat, we want to rush back to the family territory as soon as possible, isn't it inappropriate for you to do this, the convoy can transport supplies, but it will also slow down the trip." ”

"No, my lord, I have discussed with Sedkamp, we have traveled two thousand miles in seven days, and although there are still more than two thousand miles to go, we still have more than twenty days, and there is plenty of time, and we will be able to return to the family territory by three months as long as we travel one hundred and fifty miles in one day. The last time we left the family convoy, we didn't bring any supplies with us because we were in a hurry. Now that this cottage has been exterminated, it is time to bring these materials back, they are all resources that the family urgently needs!" Pat pleaded.

"Didn't we bring gold coins?" said Lorlist.

Pat smiled bitterly: "My lord, you will know when you return to the Northland, there is no place to buy these materials if you have gold coins, and even if you have, the price is at least twice as expensive as here, this is still a conscience price." Usually it's two or three times more expensive and you have to thank you because you can still buy ......"

"Forget it, let it be your toss. Lorist also smiled bitterly, from what Pat said, he knew how remote and barren the family territory was, and how scarce the supplies were. I really don't know if everyone will feel disappointed when the family convoy led by Shi Fatzi arrives in the Northland......

Lorist decided to leave the mess to Pat and Sødercamp, who were in good spirits anyway. The bottle of red wine called yesterday at the Red Wine and Tired Bird Hotel tasted good, and it was so delicious with the tender grilled lamb chops that it was almost noon, so I went back to see if Josk was awake, and when I woke up, we had a meal together.

Joske was still sleeping, and Lorist had to come down to lunch alone.

While tasting the taste of red wine, he saw a young woman wearing a black dress, a waist-length waist, and a black veil wearing a female hood come to the table and gave a ladylike salute to Lorist: "My lord, can you disturb me?"

Lorist hurriedly got up and bowed his head, and pulled out a chair to invite her to sit down: "Excuse me, miss, what can I do for you?"

"I'm sorry to bother. That's right, I heard that your lord is looking for a carriage and saying that he is going to the Northland, I want to ask if you can take us for a ride? We also want to go to the Northland, but we can't find a suitable companion on the way, so we have been stuck here, I wonder if the adults can agree to my little request?" The young woman's voice was magnetic and hoarse, and it felt very comfortable to listen to.

"Oh, you're going to the Northlands too? It's just that the Northland is huge, where are you going to the Northland? Lorist asked.

"We're going to the territory of the Norton family, the famous Roaring Bear family in the Northlands. I don't know if you've heard of it?" said the woman in black.
