Chapter 274: Pushing the Boat with the Current
"It's not...... Wouldn't it be nice for him to let us stay? It's better to follow a slave trader than to be a robber!?" his teammates looked at him in surprise.
Listening to the robber's conversation, Bell almost laughed, I've seen idiots, but I've never seen such idiots! What kind of robber is this, he can't even understand this kind of words, and he came out to be a robber......
The man looked at his idiot teammate and couldn't wait to kill him with a sword, "Are you a pig? Pigs are not as good as idiots like you?
"Huh......? No, no, no, I don't want to stay!" He looked at his companion in a daze, and then he understood.
"Alright! The farce should be over. Pretending to be stupid won't save you!Blame your bad luck and curiosity!May your souls be cleansed......" Bell let out a low sigh and slowly raised the long sword in his hand!
The robber who spoke with his eyes widened, and hurriedly explained, "Even if you kill us, it will be difficult for you to get out of the woods! Leave us with a chance to explain to the boss!"
"Oh?" Bell slowly retracted, staring at the robber intently.
The robber exhaled, "That's right, isn't there a war on the border, there are already many refugees fleeing the war, and business in the forest area is relatively easy." Coupled with the incident in the city of Hitra later, more people ran out to take refuge.
The news spread quickly, and almost all the bandit groups within a radius of 100 miles rushed to hear the news, and everyone wanted a piece of the pie. Didn't you come here to be a slave, you should know about it!
So many robbers are gathered here. Except for those escorted by mercenary groups, so to speak. It was able to pass through the forest area relatively smoothly. Hardly any of the remaining civilians have been able to travel safely to the forested area.
The terrain here is complex. The Imperial Army also did not have much energy to carry out encirclement and suppression. Sending one or two squads is not enough for us to kill, and it is quite dangerous to send a brigade, but there are so many bandit groups, can there be no ventilation on the official face!
There's no one up there, so who can mess around in this business. So you can't kill us all, you think, if you kill us, those robbers see so many women. Not every bandit group is as disciplined as our boss. ”
"Stop, stop! I probably understand what you mean, but I can't trust you so easily. Well, the three of you can choose one of you to come out and help me bring a message to your boss. Bell didn't have the time to listen to him, and there was no way to listen to those two words before. Now this guy is almost done!
"Don't choose, I'll do it, the IQs of the two of them are over there, I'm afraid they won't be able to say it well. The robber answered quickly.
The other two expressed their displeasure. Bell also felt that it was not appropriate for him to go. This guy is too good at chattering, and at first glance he is a guy with a heart.
I don't know what will happen to put this kind of person back. But the guy with the IQ just now looks good. Let him go, at least he won't say much.
After shutting the mouths of the three men again, Bell brought them back to the campfire. I couldn't get too close to those civilians, so I found a place with a good view and let the three of them squat on the ground.
Tell the three men not to move, that he needs to report to the injured boss, and that he needs to write a letter to them.
The robber also understood the rules, and sat down on the ground peacefully, waiting for the boy to return. Anyway, he won't die for a while, and the responsibility for this kind of thing mainly lies with the captain's unfavorable command and misjudgment.
It doesn't have much to do with other slave traders. The slave business, like the robbers, has a clean background. Some slave traders started out as robbers!
Even if you don't start as a robber, it's not so easy to mess with, and if you don't have a hundred or so thugs in your hands, who would dare to do this kind of business.
Therefore, everyone eats a line of food. All the rules are just according to the way of the road!
The wishful thinking in my heart played loudly. Bell and Annesha also talked about their plans, and after obtaining her approval, the two men took pens and parchment scrolls from their camel bags and began to draft letters.
When the letter was written, Bell came to the robber's eyes, untied the man with a quick IQ, and handed over the sheepskin scroll, "Give this to your boss, and say that Bell, the slave trader, regrets what happened tonight." ”
The robber nodded, took the scroll and turned to leave. Bell didn't stop him, looked at the other two people, and then looked at the sky.
It's already the middle of the night, and it won't be long before dawn. If nothing else, the bandit leader will bring someone in the morning, so you have to hurry up and prepare.
He said to the two robbers and stayed honest, then turned and left. Naresa had awakened the sleeping people, and even Neppus had been woken up by her.
Walking slowly from a short distance, Bell nodded to Ann Essa, who quietly disappeared into the darkness. After a while, the sound of a robber falling to the ground came.
To be on the safe side, Bell decided to knock them unconscious. But he wasn't good at this kind of thing, so he taught An'esa this task.
Standing in front of the campfire, looking at the people in front of him, he said in a deep voice, "Wake everyone up, because there is something important to say." I hope that no one will disturb me while I am speaking, and if there are any questions, they can be asked after I have finished speaking.
We are in a precarious situation right now, as I think you know very well. So...... In order to get out of this predicament, I need the help of all of you. ”
The speech around the campfire went well, and almost no one objected to Bell's words. Anyway, most of the people present are already homeless, so what if they don't listen to him.
The reaction of the crowd satisfied him, and after speaking, Bell called the man and woman who had just made trouble, and did not know what to say to them. I saw two people nodding their heads, looking extremely serious.
At this time, in the depths of the forest area, in the big village of the timberwolf bandit group, the bandit leader Distan was holding a sheepskin scroll in his hand, and a few gold coins were held in the palm of his hand, staring at the emblem at the corner of the scroll in a daze.
The robber minion kneeling in front of him was sent back by Bell to deliver the letter. Relying on this stupid guy coming back, if it is really replaced by the smarter one, I'm afraid the robber leader is not so easy to believe.
"I thought it would be necessary for me to meet with them. (To be continued.) )
