Chapter 50 Slov Slave Catcher

Four days later, Ametlin Harbor was in sight.

El said disdainfully: "This place is too small, you see this harbor is so small, it is not even a tenth of the Tibetan gold harbor." ”

Lorist smiled: "Is this place unique to Morun? Originally, this was just a small fishing village, and if it wasn't for the establishment of the Duchy of Rum, no one would have come, after all, it had been a war for six years. It is said that the Mercantile Alliance used to smuggle with the Krisson Empire by sea, and it was good that this truce would soon develop into such a small town. In a few years, it will also become a bustling harbor city. ”

"No matter how prosperous it is, it has nothing to do with us, no matter what. My lord, where do you say they are dead fat?" El asked.

"The letter said they would camp outside the town, and we'll find out when we got to the docks. Lorist wasn't sure either.

In the morning, I saw the port of Ametrin, but at about three o'clock in the afternoon, the ships were moored on the pier trestle, mainly because the channel here is relatively curved, and it is easy to run aground without a pilot to lead the way.

Lorist and El, Alyssa, Schward, Reddy, and Pat disembarked from the ship and walked around the docks to find that no one had come to greet them. It's strange, Shi Fatzi should send people to guard the dock every day, why is there no one?

Elk nodded to Lorris, and walked silently to a house near the dock with a sign of a wine glass and a sea fish painted on it, the tavern of the docks, the most well-informed place.

Lorist waited for a while, and the local official in charge of collecting taxes on the ship was coming down from the ship. Sedkamp followed him. Lorist beckoned to him, and the official hurriedly came over respectfully: "My lord, what do you command?"

"Ten days ago more than 3,000 people arrived from Port Nubit, do you know where their camp is?" said Lorlist, pulling out a Kingford and shoving it in.

The dock official had a happy look on his face, and took the gold coin very neatly: "Yes, they are camped in the small pine forest in the south of the town. They must be your people, and the angry bear logo on the flag is exactly the same as the one on the adult's badge. ”

Loris nodded.

The official flattered and said, "My lord, your people may be in a little trouble. The place where they camped was very close to Slov's camp. I heard that there was a conflict and that your men have been trapped in the camp for four days. ”

"Oh, who's that Sloff?" asked Lorlist.

"This ......," the official hesitated.

Lorist stuffed another gold coin over.

The officer looked left and right, and whispered to Lorliste, "My lord, Slov is a well-known local mercenary group leader, he is very powerful, and he has close ties with the port of Nubit. If you can, you might as well send someone to apologize and give some gifts to shake hands, that is the best solution. ”

"Oh okay, thank you for the pointers. Lorist remained silent.

The official bowed and saluted: "You're welcome, the contemptible person will retire first." ”

......

"Go back to the ship, Reddy, and get Telman and Yuri. Lorist commanded.

......

El also quickly returned to the ship, and he informed everyone of the news he had received in the tavern, that Slov, who was said to be the leader of the mercenary group, was actually the leader of a slave hunting group, and was the biggest evil force in the local area, and even the lord could not help him. He can only make an agreement with him for three chapters, as long as Slov and his slave catchers do not make trouble in the local area, do not hinder business travel, and do not affect local taxes, the two sides will be fine.

They had arrived in Port Ametlin eleven days earlier, and had set up camp in the small pine forest on the southern outskirts of town, a stone's throw from the camp of the Slov slave catchers. Somehow, Slov got into the idea, and the two sides clashed. Shi Fatzi and they suffered because there were many people and no weapons, so they could only cut down trees as soldiers and close the camp to defend themselves. I heard that dozens of people have been arrested, and there are casualties.

That Slov's slave hunting group is very strong, there are three masters of the gold rank, more than forty silver swordsmen, and more than two hundred black iron bronze subordinates, so the lord is also very jealous of him. There is also a rumor that Slov also has a brother who is a great swordsman, but he rarely shows up.

Everyone was silent, no one expected that the first step of the northbound journey would run into such a powerful roadblock, and there was no good way for a while.

"Well, Pat, Reddy, and Sedkamp, stay on board and take care of Schward and Alyssa. Yuri, you bring twelve more men to garrison the ship, and make sure to ensure the safety of the weapons and equipment transported. Although these three ships are flying the flag of the Peterson Chamber of Commerce, and generally no force dares to provoke them, we must also prevent accidents, pull the crossbow chariots on the deck, four ships in a row, if someone attacks, directly counterattack, kill it. ”

Lorist was a little murderous at this moment: "The rest of the people are all in armor, Knight Telman, you prepare five carriages, transport a batch of spears and crossbows and arrows, and go to the camp with me first, if you dare to block the way, you will be killed." ”

This time, there were a total of thirty-eight old students of the Dawn Academy who were willing to follow Lorist to the Northland, Shi Fat took twelve with him, Yuri left twelve, and five of the remaining fourteen were the same as Telman, and they all chose knight full body armor. Seven others wore the light cavalry armor of the Dawn Academy, and each brought a crossbow and five throwing spears. Lorist chose a scale armor, only protecting his chest and abdomen, and after moving for a while, he felt that it was okay to find that it did not affect his reaction and speed. Lorist did not carry a crossbow, but hung twelve bundles of throwing spears on the side of the horse.

Telman hired five wagons at the docks, and asked the coachmen to follow him to the camp in the southern suburbs for a large silver coin per cart, promising them that they would stand idly by in the event of a conflict, and that it would be none of their business if the goods were lost.

Six knights in full armor opened the way, Telman took the lead, followed by five freight carriages, Lorist, El with seven old cadets escorted on both sides, and the group quickly passed through the town and turned onto the road to the southern suburbs.

There was a checkpoint in front of the road, a simple railing made of a few trees in the middle of the road, and thirty or forty people stood on either side, and someone in front of them waved his hand to signal the visitor to stop.

Telman didn't bite a word, just put down the cavalry, aimed at the front, and the four cavalry on the left and right behind him flattened the cavalry spear at the same time, only the middle cavalry spear was still pointed diagonally in the air, and the banner with the angry bear pattern on the cavalry was fluttering in the hunt.

The blades of the five cavalry spears flashed almost simultaneously, and the five silver-rank knights! The group of people blocking the road did not dare to stand in front, and hurriedly dodged to both sides, and a few people cursed and rushed towards the dozen or so mounts on both sides who were bowing their heads and gnawing grass.

Telman's cavalry was the first to hit the wooden railing blocking the road, and with a "bang" explosion, the wooden railing cracked and shattered, and the road ahead was clear. Five freight wagons "rumbled" by.

Some of the people who stood in the way pointed to the carriage and cursed, some were about to get on their horses and chase after them, and a few men with bows and arrows were shooting arrows at the carriage as if they were in a mess, when they suddenly heard a cold voice order: "Throw your guns and kill them all." ”

The screams came one after another, but it was Lorist who took the nine of them back, far away with crossbows, close with throwing guns, killing one of those who stood in the way by surprise, as soon as they saw the way in the way, more than a dozen fell, those few archery were the first to suffer, and then two got on the horse, and even the people and horses were nailed to the ground with guns, and the horses neighed and screamed miserably.

Lorist believed in the reins, took a throwing gun in each hand, and threw it with lightning when he saw a target, and in a short time twelve people who stood in the way died under the throwing gun. One of the swordsmen who stood in the way was a silver-rank swordsman who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, and when he saw that Lorist had no throwing spear and sat down on his horse and came to him again, he suddenly jumped up from the ground with a loud roar, raised his sword with both hands and slashed down, intending to kill Lorist and flee from the horse.

The silver swordsman's two-handed sword flashed with an inch-long sword, seeing the opponent on the horse pull out a long sword from behind to resist, but there was no sword on the sword and couldn't help but be overjoyed, he was three stars of silver, and the opponent turned out to be just a black iron, so his sword went down The opponent must be a sword breaker, and he will be able to escape immediately by riding his horse.

Unexpectedly, the two swords hit each other, the opponent's sword was not broken, but a shock came, and the two-handed sword in his hand was swung high, and the silver swordsman watched the opponent's sword penetrate his throat like a spiritual snake, and his eyes were pitch black......

Looking around, there were corpses all over the ground, more than 30 people were lying down in the way, and there were four or five figures in the distance who fled quickly, and nine of them were unharmed. Lorist was very satisfied with this result. He didn't think that he would kill thirteen of them alone, and that more than twenty of them would fall in one face, and that there was not enough left for them to divide one each.

An old student rode up to Lorist's side and saluted respectfully, with a look of adoration in his eyes.

"Check it, there is still a live sword, pack up the loot, and go back later. Lorist commanded lightly.

The loot refers to the mounts, weapons, and miscellaneous items such as armor and money bags and dry food brought by these roadblockers. Lorist felt that he was very kind, and at least he left underwear. If Shi Fatzi is here, these people will really come to the red stripes.

"Yes, sir. The old student answered.

"El, when you return to the camp, hand over the horses, weapons, armor, and goods, and you will divide the belongings, and don't forget to give Telman a share. Lorist said to El who came over.

"My lord, this is not in accordance with the rules. Telman said that there are rules for the distribution of loot, and how to reward Shi Fat has already been decided. You can't break it at will. El said.

"Uh, sorry, I forgot, so let's do it. Lorist said.

------------------ dividing line----------------

When I turned a corner of the avenue, I saw a camp with angry bear flags, and there was a camp more than two hundred meters away from this camp, which was mounded with earth, and it looked much stronger and neater than the camp built of miscellaneous trees with trenches. That must be the camp of the slave catchers.

The gate of the camp had been opened, and there was a cheer when they turned around Lorist. In the distance, there were also many people gathered at the gate of the slave hunter camp, and they were looking over here, and a few people were riding horses to the place where the checkpoint had been set up on the road just now, obviously strange how five truckloads of goods could be transported to the camp through the checkpoint.

Lorist dismounted, and said to Telman, "Be on guard, and send out your spears and crossbows." ”

An old student with a bandage on his head came over and hurriedly saluted, Lorist knew him, one of the twelve students who set off with Shi Fatzi.

"Are you Dorus, how are you hurt? seriously?" asked Lorlist, concerned.

Dorres said gratefully, "It doesn't matter, just scratch some skin." Master Locke, I'm finally waiting for you to come back. Brother Shi was a little injured and was lying in the tent over there. The knight of Bodfinger was resting last night with his men on patrol, and I have sent to inform him. ”

"Well, take me to meet Knight Schrader first. Lorist said.

......

When I lifted the curtain of the tent, I saw that the fat man with a bandaged upper body like a zongzi was sitting and watching Lorist and El come in.

"Hey, fatty, why don't you think you're fat when you bandage it?" El joked first.

Shi Fatzi looked at him and pouted: "I knew that you would also come over, but it's a pity that no one bet with me, otherwise I would have won." ”

"The ...... of the day" El was speechless......

"How's it hurting, is it serious?" asked Lorlist.

"It's okay, it's just that I took a few swords, and the blood flowed a little too much, and nothing else is serious. Lenmed said, "I'll be healed in twenty days." My lord, I didn't expect us to be out of the game. Shi Fatzi said.

Renmud is a junior pharmacist who somehow gets fooled into the same thief ship by Fat Shi and wants to follow them to the Northlands. He was also one of the twelve cadets who followed Fat Man to Port Nubit.

El sat down next to Fat Shi and patted Fat Stone's thigh, because this place was not bandaged, and it was difficult to bandage it elsewhere. El said: "Fatty, whoever hurts you, see how my brother avenges you." ”

"Pull it down, that's a golden swordsman, my brother fought with him for a long time and only opened seven openings on his body, if you would have been covered in blood. Shi Fatzi said.

"Day, don't forget that you dead fat man is a defeated brother under your brother, see how your brother avenges you. El was not convinced.

"Alright, fat man, tell me what's going on. Lorist said.

The matter is very simple, after Fat Man and Bodfinger arrived in Port Nubit, they contacted several of Bodfinger's comrades-in-arms. It happened that the employer of a comrade-in-arms was a slave trader, and through him, he successfully purchased more than 700 strong slaves, and it is worth mentioning that these more than 700 slaves all awakened their fighting spirit, most of them were black iron, and a small part was bronze. Many of them were former soldiers of the Krisson Empire or members of the garrison, who had been captured in the Civil War and sold to slave traders. Because they are all dragging their families and having a family, they can't run away and resist.

The price of buying them is very expensive, twenty gold merit for one person in the black iron rank, fifteen gold merit for one person in the bronze rank, and one gold coin for each person in their families, regardless of gender, old and young. Those slave traders are also very shrewd, and slaves like this are generally sold as a family in order to reassure the slaves, and they will not run away and resist if they are worried, and they can also make the greatest profits.

Shi Fatzi was so good at talking that he pressed the total price to 16,000 gold coins, and then bought a batch of food and clothing, paid a deposit for a large amount of grain, and found that there were only about 4,000 gold coins left around him, and he had to pay the food account and transportation expenses, which cost two or three thousand gold coins, so he was reluctant to buy some weapons for the slaves to equip them, anyway, Lorist would bring weapons and equipment to the rendezvous, so he didn't care about it. As a result, because the slaves were not equipped with weapons, they were targeted when they arrived in Ametrin.

The Slov slave catcher observed Fat Man and his team for two days after they set up camp, and decided that Fat Boy was a group of slave traders, or slave traders under the name of some nobleman. Since they are peers, how can they not worship the mountain and not honor themselves when they arrive at Ametlin Harbor? So on the third day, they sent someone to inform Shi Fatzi of them, first, to offer five thousand gold coins for the toll. Second, half of the slaves in the camp were left behind so that they could be safe.

Of course, Shi Fatzi refused, and explained to them that this was the army of the Norton family, but the few people who came over were arrogant and unreasonable, and even claimed that they had never heard of the Norton family, even if the nobles of the Norton family came, they had to obediently bow their heads and obey.

didn't involve the family Shi Fat Man still talked to them well, and when they said wildly, Shi Fat Lima turned his face, and the most arrogant one was cut down on the spot, and the remaining few were also beaten up and driven away. At this time, Shi Fatzi found that the situation was not good, and wanted to take people to the town to collect some weapons, but found that the people in the town regarded them as enemies, let alone weapons, and refused to sell even a kitchen knife.

There was no way for Shi Fatzi to return to the camp and immediately cut wood for soldiers, so that each of the sturdy slaves was equipped with a wooden spear. More than 3,000 people only had a few dozen weapons, and as a result, two or three hundred people from the captured slave group surrounded and attacked for three days. Fortunately, Knight Bodfinger and his two comrades-in-arms blocked the three golden swordsmen of the slave hunting group, and twelve old cadets fought hard, causing more than twenty or thirty casualties to the slave hunting group, which made the slave hunting group have some scruples and retreat.

During these three days the camp was under siege, seventeen slaves were killed and more than fifty wounded. More than 40 people were arrested. Seven of the twelve old students are hanging lottery, and now they are all holding on with injuries. The slave hunters also changed their strategy and began to besiege the camp, preparing to wait for Shi Fatzi and their hunger to be exhausted, and they could easily and effortlessly wipe them out. Seeing that there was not much food and grass left in the camp and they couldn't last long, Lorist and they finally arrived.

With that, the curtain moved, and Bodfinger led two big men into the tent.

Seeing Lorist Bodfinger was relieved: "My lord, you have finally arrived." ”

Then he introduced the two big men around him to Lorlist: "My lord, they are my former comrades-in-arms, this is Rod Wells, a golden two-star swordsman. He is Mons Malek, a three-star silver star. They also want to follow me to the Northland. ”

Bodfinger's meaning is very simple, these two of his comrades-in-arms may also want to find a family to serve, but they don't know much about Lorist, and they can't withstand Bodfinger's persuasion, so they are ready to follow Lorist and them on a certain journey to see, and if they get along, they will join and leave. Bodfinger wants Lorist to keep them.

Lorist stood up and bowed to the two, "Thank you for your help, this camp would have been breached a few days ago. The Norton family will never forget the kindness of the two, and if the two of them ask for anything, the Norton family will do their best. ”

Rod Wells, who was a little shorter and stronger, smiled and waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, we can't sit idly by just because of our friendship with Borg, and we should do a little bit of effort." ”

Mons Malek, who had a more serious face, was silent, but nodded.

Lorist was about to speak when he saw Dorus rushing in from outside, looking a little nervous: "Lord Locke, the camp on the other side is preparing to attack us again......"
