Chapter 9: Harvest

"Smack!" There was a crisp slap, and a robber who was about to move was slapped to the ground by the tax officer Xia Keduo, who kicked him fiercely and warned at the same time, "Be honest!"

When these robbers saw the appearance of the wolves, and Lei Ming and the people stood in a row to confront the wolves, they immediately thought carefully, thinking that although they might not lose their lives, the end would definitely not be any better, so they thought about taking the opportunity to escape, just when their eyes were looking around, the tall and thin Xia Keduo slapped a robber in the face.

And Shakdo has a very good set of hands, he led two people to line up the carts loaded with salt, savagely pulled up a robber who was squatting on the ground and struggling inside, and then tied the robber to the handle of the cart with three strokes and five divisions, and tied it to a dead knot.

Shakto's style is very unkind, but these robbers eat this set, and are tied to the cart by Shakdo, and they have no idea of escaping, especially when the robbers find that the cart arranged by Shakdo will be a lighter weight cart with black bread, if you are not honest, you will have to push the salt cubes, the robber who was slapped and kicked by Shakdo is the worst, not only the salt cart, but Shakdo also blatantly increased the weight, the robber wanted to argue aggrievedly, but was frightened by Shaktor's raised palm and a look and swallowed his wordsใ€‚

When Lei Ming arrived, there were twenty-five robbers alive, and he killed seven of them in one go, and two of them were hit so hard by the stone horse that they couldn't get up, so there were sixteen robbers left, pushing five carts loaded with table salt, and eleven carts loaded with hard black bread.

Not counting the grain carried by the women and children, there were at least fifty or sixty carts, which shows that this caravan carried a lot of goods in this escape, but unfortunately the livestock pulling the carts were frightened and fled during the night, otherwise it would have been much easier to transport these goods.

The wolves were still slowly biting and eating the corpses on the ground, the green tendons on Lei Ming's head were constantly beating, so many corpses were wasted, he roughly counted them, there were more than two hundred corpses on the ground, nearly three hundred, although most of these corpses were ordinary people, and it was not enough for him to be promoted to the third level of blood knight, but seeing this experience gift package being devoured by the wolves, Lei Ming still couldn't help but feel a little heartache.

Lei Ming didn't dare to act rashly, he believed that as long as he moved these corpses on the ground, he would definitely anger these wild wolves, and it was the pacification of these corpses that made these wild wolves maintain restraint, otherwise the hungry wolves would have pounced on them.

And Shaktor was surprisingly capable, managing the slaved robbers and the women and children in good order, relying on the protection of the thundering them, quickly evacuating towards the way they came, and even pushing a grain cart loaded with grain himself.

Xia Keduo's amazing performance amazed Lei Ming, he just let Xia Keduo be responsible for controlling the group of surrendered robbers It was just a random move, and the people with management experience who could be used at that time were except Qi Lin was Xia Keduo, and he chose Xia Keduo, more to test this tax officer.

Turning his head, he found that Shaktor had already led people out of a distance, and in the depths of the jungle, the townspeople of Kent Town could also be seen probing their brains, and when the distance was close, they ran out to answer, Thunder felt almost over, and ordered the caravan guards who were relatively lightly injured to push away the remaining grain carts loaded with grain.

These grains are worth more than brown bread, and can be sown and ground into flour to make fluffy white bread, which is actually lighter than a cart with brown bread.

Thundering is still at the forefront, Qilin and they are surrounded by Thundering, retreating step by step, those guards are also dragging the cart backwards, as for the remaining goods, they can only give up, maybe after the territory is stabilized, they can organize people to come back to find it.

The wolves still didn't move, they already had food and they weren't interested in the thunder, the food was enough for them to enjoy, and only the weakest creatures would make them bite to death and not eat.

The group kept retreating, and Thunder saw that as they retreated, the wolves that had been cautious became presumptuous, they screamed and threw themselves on the corpse and tore hard, and their companions snatched food, the scene was chaotic, but it was good news for Thunder.

When Lei Ming was the last to retreat into the jungle, the young men of the garrison had already dispersed in the team, and the original fleeing team had grown a little, Lei Ming also heard those caravan stewards Jaston scolding a woman, but Lei Ming was a little surprised, the reason why Jaston asked him for help and accidentally exposed it, I am afraid it was because of this woman, the more he scolded, the more he cared.

The huge caravan survived so many people, those guards were obviously very depressed, Lei Ming was a little worried and looked at the robbers who were acting as coolies in front, he saw that Xia Keduo didn't know when he found a rattan in his hand and was constantly whipping the robber slaves who were walking slowly, and it was his wanton whipping that made some caravan people inadvertently show a look of relief in their eyes, Lei Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if his tax officers acted intentionally from beginning to end, it was really a great character!

It took a lot of effort, and the group returned to the path opened up by the Earth Walking Dragon Clan without danger, and Lei Ming's heart was relieved a lot, and there were not only wild wolves in the forest, but also many dangerous creatures.

"Your Excellency, our Great Storm Chamber of Commerce is now dead in name only, and our future is uncertain, so I hope we can join your ranks. โ€

Juston is obviously a person who knows the wind and rudder, and in just a while, he has changed from a coward who is disgusted by everyone to the leader who holds the power of the caravan, he saw the strength of Thundering, and inquired about Thundering's identity, to be honest, when he heard that Thunder was the eldest young master of the Bourbon family, a famous nobleman in the empire, Juston was also surprised for a long time, and waited until they came to this "safe passage" At that time, he had already made up his mind and decided to hug the big tree of Lei Ming, their caravan was so small, the future was really worrying, it was better to follow Lei Ming and make plans after stabilizing.

Lei Ming glanced at Jaston, he was clear about what Jaston was thinking, he welcomed the caravan's surrender, especially these people he could use, including Jaston, there were still four first-class professionals left in the caravan, of which Jaston was a thief, two were warriors, and an archer.

"Yes. Thunder's glance has already made Juston feel worried, after all, the shadow of the famous tree, the name of the Bourbon family is too big, their Great Storm Chamber of Commerce is just a small chamber of commerce in the eyes of the Bourbon family, although these words are a little aggrieved, but the truth is probably so, so when Thunder said expressionlessly that it was okay, Jaston still breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, and at the same time felt a little excited in his heart.

Lei Ming rode a stone horse from the back of the procession, walking in the front were the townspeople of Kent Town, in the middle were the robbers who surrendered, the caravan guards protected the female dependents and walked at the end, Lei Ming calculated the harvest, he got a total of five carts of precious salt, eleven carts of black bread, and nine carts of grain and grain for this adventure, for him who was poor in materials, this harvest was quite satisfactory.

"Alice, come and come with me. The stone horse was fast, and Thunder found Alice at the front of the line in a very short time.

Alice rode the red horse to get close to her brother, but the red horse was reluctant to go over, it seemed to be full of fear of the stone horse, but those old cows and donkeys did not react to the stone horse out of the ordinary, and were still very calm when the stone horse walked by.

Lei Ming was a little embarrassed and comforted Alice with a smile, no longer asking her to come over, but telling her to follow the team, and he himself ran to the front to explore the way, the fighting spirit in his body at this time has recovered to full, and now it is time to repay the debt, speaking of which, the dark goddess is too tolerant and partial to the clerical knights.

It's probably because the Earth Walking Dragon Clan has been passing for more than a day, and Thunder finally saw some small animals hiding along the way, but there are not many birds in the Kel's Forest, otherwise it will be more lively.

Time passed slowly in the boring hurry, experienced too many apprehensions, walking on this wide road is particularly reassuring, even if it is difficult to walk in a place, as long as a few people take a hand to pass, so the speed of travel is very fast, whether it is thunder, or the people in the team, all are very satisfied with this speed.

As the sky gradually darkened, Lei Ming found a relatively flat and wide area and stopped, and ordered the camp to cook.

The caravan's guards played a role at this time, their wounds had been bandaged on the way, their vast experience had allowed them to easily find delicious food in the jungles on both sides of the road, and the whole team was blessed, the pots of delicious soup wafted with an enticing aroma, and the long procession slipped to the sound of swallowing saliva.

A group of people unscrupulously lit a fire on the road, baked the black bread, and when the soup was cooked, each took out a large flat bowl to serve the soup, probably enough soup, no one competed, and the people who were used to eating black bread took out the knife they carried with them, cut the somewhat fluffy black bread into small pieces and put them in a large bowl, and waited until the brown bread had absorbed enough soup, and the taste was much better.

If you don't eat it this way, the brown bread is actually very difficult to swallow, and if you don't bake it with fire, your teeth will collapse, and if you don't soak the soup, it will be very dry, and it is easy to choke and may cut your throat.

Once again, the tax collector showed his amazing skill, he was very generous enough to let these robbers who had become slaves eat with their stomachs open, these robbers who were tired all the way were so moved that they almost shed bitter tears, and a delicious dinner made their plans to escape at night much lighter, after all, although they were a little tired with the team, they were much safer and more secure.

After the plane collapses, a good dinner makes people feel happy.
