Chapter 24: Expulsion

Victor has a headache right now.

During these few days of travel, Victor clearly noticed that Nicole was very depressed.

Obviously, the threat of the ferocious gnoll to Victor last time made the inferior and sensitive female probationary knight very remorseful.

Seeing Nicole, who was gradually becoming silent, Victor had the heart to appease, but there was nothing good to do.

So, he thought about distracting Nicole with something that wasn't available in this world. This made Edwin greatly appreciated, and Nicole became much more cheerful in the elated atmosphere of the big guy.

Today, Victor asked Lilia to take someone to the river to catch some delicious green shrimp, and was going to make his favorite sizzling prawns for everyone to taste, however, there was an incident where the guards killed the militia!

"That's how it happened, my lordship. Under Victor's disgusted gaze, Mouth humbly bowed his head and hid his lewd appearance under his hood.

Mouth, a shitty slut, was a gang pickpocket when he was in Blackcastle, and was hunted down by the gang boss for stealing a freshly stolen Kinsor.

In order to escape for his life, Mouth took advantage of Victor's recruitment of the lords, posed as a cobbler, and joined Victor's team to the south.

But Mouth had never been a man of peace, and after making sure he had escaped, he began to stir again.

He knew that he was thin and obscene, and he was not a material to be the boss, so he only wanted to find a backer.

At this time, Logan, the leader of the militia squad responsible for distributing food to the people, entered his eyes.

Rogan and his two brothers were originally farmers in the Eastern Province, and they were reckless but honest. Later, the able-bodied Logan and his two brothers were selected by Nelson to become a militia squad leader.

Although he is a nuisance, his cunning and bloody gangster career has made him very good at observing words and feelings. A few inconspicuous flatteries and sycophants made the Logan brothers, who had little knowledge, quickly regard Maymouth as their own.

Under the constant temptation of Maymouth, the Logan brothers began to use their right to distribute food to oppress and coerce the cowardly peasant women. After tasting the sweetness a few times, the silence of the victims made these people more and more unscrupulous, and the three brothers, who were originally quite simple, completely turned into disgusting scum, just like Mamouth.

Until, they met Linda.

After Logan was killed by Linda, Mouth let out a screamer than a woman's, and ran in the direction of the camp without looking back, as fast as a rabbit being chased by a dog.

The cunning mouth knew that there was only one way to die if he stayed put, and he had to make a big deal out of it before Nelson could react so that he could have a chance of survival.

"Kill, kill!" shouted Mouth, running around the camp, and soon he had succeeded in alarming everyone, including Victor.

In front of the crowd, Mouth publicly testified that Linda had killed Logan, who bought the provenance.

Victor looked at the two brothers who were sitting on the ground holding Logan's corpse and crying, and the onlookers around him, and then at Linda, the pale mercenary standing next to Nelson with her hands tied, and he was very embarrassed.

Nelson's War Bear mercenaries are the only armed force that Victor can rely on at the moment, and Nelson's performance along the way has not disappointed him, and Victor also knows that Linda is Nelson's partner, so he can't order Linda's death anyway.

However, the fact that Linda blatantly killed a militiaman who bought prowess was acknowledged by all involved, including herself. And if Linda is not dealt with fairly, then Victor will inevitably lose the trust of all the lords, and this rift will be fatal for a nascent lord.

Victor decided to turn to the old scholar for help.

"Master, how do you usually deal with such things?" asked Victor in a low voice to Edwin beside him.

"I never take care of these things myself, it's all my housekeeper. Edwin waved his hands at Victor.

When Victor turned his gaze to Bruce, the knight quickly shook his head, indicating that he would not handle these trivial matters himself.

Seeing Victor in a dilemma, Mouth was secretly proud in his heart, he knew that no matter what Victor did with Linda, he had saved his life for the time being.

"My lord, I am willing to accept all punishments. Linda ignored Nelson's face and stepped forward to Victor.

Victor didn't speak, he instinctively felt that things were not as simple as everyone thought. However, everyone including the peasant woman admits that she sold sex to Logan and them for money and food, and Linda did kill Logan after learning the cause of the incident.

However, seeing Mouth's lewd face, Victor was sure that there was something wrong with it! Because he was a face-reading person, he decided to find out the truth.

If it is an ordinary lord of this world, in order to maintain their dominance, they may choose to execute Linda directly, or release Linda. They weren't going to try to find out the truth like Victor did.

Victor silently turns on the state of supersensation and overlimiting, and he needs to get more information in the details.

Vision, hearing, and perception formed a clear stereoscopic image of all the surrounding images and sounds in Victor's mind, and under X-3's continuous correction and screening, Victor accurately grasped the expressions of everyone present and communicated with them in a low voice.

In addition to the anxiety and worry of the members of the War Bear mercenary and the anger and numbness of the onlookers, he also captured several happy emotions.

"Good to die!"

"This beast has finally been punished. ”

It was a couple of farmers whispering to themselves, sifted through the X-3.

"You, you, and you, give it to me. Victor pointed the men out of the crowd one by one.

"Don't be afraid, what's your name?" asked Victor, choosing the farmer who hated the dead the most among the three, kindly.

"My name, my name is Red. Victor's kind attitude emboldened the farmer.

"Rhett, I'll give you a chance to say what you know, and if you have something to hide and cause me to misjudge, I'll order you to be hanged. Victor's direct language was like a sharp knife, forcing the seemingly hesitant farmer into a corner.

"My lord, I have something to say! Logan and the others used the children's inability to receive food as an excuse, and each time they did not distribute enough food to our families, in order to feed the children, we had to use our own savings to buy food from him, and now the money was used up, and the children's mother had to sell their bodies to a few of them, and then use the money to exchange for food from them. Seeing the faces of Mouth and the militiamen involved changed dramatically made the cowardly farmer feel a pang of joy.

"Is that so?" asked Victor to the others.

"Yes, sir. ”

"That's right. ”

After receiving affirmative answers from several people, Victor smiled and said to himself, "That is, the guard Linda killed a thief who stole my food." ”

"My lord, spare my life! It's none of my business, I don't know anything about it, I'm just a friend of Logan, I'm not his militia, I'm not involved in their theft. When Maymouth saw that the people began to cast angry glances at them, he immediately threw himself to the ground and begged for mercy loudly, and plucked himself clean, as for the boss, in addition to eating the meat first, he also had to carry the pot.

"Linda, as a Wimbledon family guard, you have committed the crime of transgression by killing the thief who stole the family property without my permission, and I will punish you to pay two hundred gold soles of atonement. Victor, with Nelson's grateful eyes, ruled on Linda.

Two hundred gold soles is a huge amount of money for Linda, but with Nelson's help, she can still pay it, but for the next two years, Nelson can be regarded as working for Victor Bai.

"As for the thieves, they were stripped of their subjects, and each of them was given ten lashes and driven out of the camp. ”

Mouth was overjoyed to hear that Victor had merely driven them away, and he still looked terrified.

"Let the master laugh. Victor said politely to Edwin.

Edwin knew that Victor would have to deal with some internal affairs next, and said to Victor with a smile: "Victor, don't worry, but the iron plate shrimp you promised can't just be left at that." ”

After Edwin, Bruce, and the others returned to the carriage, Victor dispersed the onlookers and stopped Nelson.

"My ....., my lord" Nelson saw Victor's cold eyes, and the words that he wanted to express his gratitude were speechless for a while.

"Nelson, I don't care how damn those scumbags, but one thing you have to remember is that no one can kill my people with impunity, and no one can execute prisoners in my territory without my consent. This is the last and only time, do you remember?"

As a lord and protector of order, Victor could not tolerate such a challenge to his rights, and he felt the need to give Nelson a beating.

"I remember, my lord. Nelson replied solemnly.

"Also, shouldn't Old Hamm's Tihound find a time to let him go out for a walk?" said Victor coldly before turning to leave.

Victor is not a cold-blooded and cruel person, but he especially hates scum who takes pleasure in bullying the weak.

"Yes, my lord, it's time for them to slip away. The corners of the War Bear Leader's mouth pulled an arc upward, and Sen Sen's white teeth revealed a coldness.

Looking at the convoy that was gradually moving away, the mouth and the others limped in the opposite direction.

"We're all going to die, we're all going to be eaten by wild beasts!Mouth, it's all up to you! If it weren't for you provoking Logan, we wouldn't be where we are now. One of Logan's brothers, grumbling loudly.

Without saying a word, Mouth walked forward vigorously.

Seeing that Mouth, who usually slapped his beard and the others, dared to ignore him, the man roared and threw himself at Mouth, grabbing him by the collar, wanting to teach him a lesson.

Before the man's fist slammed into his face, a sharp knife flashed between his fingers and pressed against the man's neck.

"Listen, idiot, you were still farming in your hometown when I killed someone, what? Do you want to try?" the knife pressed against the militiaman's artery, and the mouth was like a viper that terrified him.

After the madness of power faded, the lowliness and cowardice of the peasant returned to these wretched creatures.

"You garbage, listen to me, only by following me can you find a way to live, I will take you back to Heibao Town, before that, whoever wants to trick me, I will tell him to taste the taste of cutting meat with a knife!"

Mouth grinned, and was able to shock these men who were far stronger than him, and made him very satisfied. Just as he was about to play some more intimidation tactics, a whining sound came from far and near to the ears of several people.

They looked around in fear, only to find that Old Hamm, the dog trainer, had come after him, and was riding on horseback, smiling coldly at them.

Justice may be late, but it will never be forgiven.
