Chapter 128: The Way of Survival
In addition to Captain Cao, even the other six low-eyed guys of the Seven Heroes of the Raiding Group agreed that Xibu's arrival was a real and solid first step for the team to become the number one bandit in the Exiled Realm.
Needless to say, Sibu has a strong personal ability, and it is commendable that he also makes good use of his flexible mind. These five bandit gangs ranged in size from more than 500 people to fewer than 100 people. But without exception, they are all notorious bandit gangs here, and they are typical representatives of what Captain Cao wants to clean up the most.
Sometimes the size does not reflect whether it is strong or not, such as the Mandrill tribe of Sibu. Although there are only more than 300 combatants, the Golden State Bandits will not take the initiative to provoke, but Xibu has always been ambitious to find trouble with the Golden State Bandits over the addiction of being a big brother.
From these places, it can be seen that individual combat effectiveness and professionalism are very important. One aspect that Captain Cao is particularly concerned about is money. Xibu realized this problem at the first time, so it was naturally impossible for Captain Cao to wear a group of brothers to work in vain.
The strength of a bandit group not only means its ability to survive here, but also a strong proof of whether they are engaged in robbery and robbery industry efficiency.
For example, the bandit gang that was kicked by the looting group was only about a hundred people, if it wasn't for Xibu leading the team, such a target might not have been bothered to be touched by Commander Cao. First, they have few people, and secondly, they are mixed, and they don't look like rich customers horizontally and vertically.
In fact, it is just the opposite, this mixed bandit gang is the richest bandit group that Commander Cao and others have encircled and suppressed, with more than 100 bandits, and finally confiscated tens of thousands of gold coins, what is this concept?
Tens of thousands of gold coins are already a very large sum of money, who would have thought that those bandit gangs that hastily surrounded the fence outside the camp that seemed to be unable to stop even heavy beasts would be rich and rich? If it weren't for Xibu's insistence on letting Captain Cao move them, Commander Cao would even regard this mixed gang of bandits as a group of indigenous people living in misery, rather than a gang of bandits.
This tribe of bandits numbered only about a hundred. And all from different intelligent races, half-orcs, hyena people, and even baboons. But all of them are adult men, not a single woman, and all the people are soldiers in the true sense.
After the plundering group overthrew nearly half of their men and horses in a big way with a single photo, they directly chose to raise their hands and surrender, and honestly let Captain Cao fall.
It is not for nothing that so much oil and water can be refined from them, not only are they all soldiers, but they have no worries. And because of their configuration. It ensures that they are still mixed in this industry. There are various high-yield races of bandits, and it is naturally much easier to deal with other peers.
And the place where their den is entrenched is also very unique, and it is at the junction of the forces of the Golden State bandit gang and another big gang next to it. Such a position allows them to have the advantage of swaying in the wind like wall grass. What's more, there are often some foot merchants passing by in the crime area they are crouching into, which makes it more convenient for them to carry out their daily work.
Among the bandits that Commander Cao cleaned up, they were also more willing to use their brains, and according to their leader, they knew very well what it meant to judge the situation. If the prey is less human. They will rush up and scramble. And when the idea is more strained, they will use other methods, such as disguised as ordinary indigenous tribes. After all, there is not much difference between the bandit gangs and the indigenous tribes in the Exiled Realm in the strict sense, and it is not easy to distinguish them.
And once you seize the absolute opportunity. They will resolutely work hard to ensure that every work is rewarded. This professional attitude made Captain Cao very appreciative, and from this point of view, their business model has been ahead of many indigenous bandits.
It is also reasonable for them to keep their current numbers, because more people are likely to cause dissatisfaction among some of their fellow neighbors. There is even the possibility of friction. The bandit gangs that settled in this vicinity all saw that there were many businessmen who came and went in this place, and the five bandit gangs kicked by the looting group all belonged to this area, which can be said to be an area with a large density of bandits.
There are not enough people. So as long as you have savings, money or enough food, you can easily find people. In the bandit industry, there has never been a problem of lack of manpower. Especially in the area of exile, there is a flood of people engaged in this industry, in addition to bandit gangs with fixed territory, some small gangs that are wandering around committing crimes are also numerous.
Commander Cao directly gave them two choices, either they were killed by the soldiers of the raiding regiment with brutal means, or they honestly became a gang of bandits under the control of the raiding regiment.
Fools know how important life is, and in front of such a powerful opponent, they chose the latter for the first time. It's not that they haven't encountered anything like being approached by their peers to kick the field, but they have never seen such a ruthless peer as the raiding group. At most, the average peer fights, and will not kill a large number of people, and it is often just a friction for some trivial things, such as fighting for breath, good face and other reasons.
And the raiding group is completely different, these guys are here for the money. If they want to save their lives, they have to pay the money for their lives as soon as possible, and each head is calculated according to five hundred gold coins.
"What I want to say is that everyone's life is precious. I think you all agree with what I said, don't you?" asked Captain Cao, who was unanimously approved by all of them.
"Therefore, if you want to redeem your lives from us, the cost will not be small, and you must have the heroic bearing of a strong man who breaks his wrist. Each person has five hundred gold coins, and not one of them is missing. "Chief Cao's previous remarks are completely for this purpose.
If you think it's expensive, there is only one result, that is, you will be executed by the plundering group, and of course, if you die, you will have all your belongings confiscated. If you want to save your life, you can only honestly pay for it yourself.
In the end, the whole gang of bandits put together all the money, and it was more than 10,000 gold coins. And the sum of this money was obviously not enough to buy the lives of all of them, and before Captain Cao could speak, they even began to quarrel themselves. The purpose of the quarrel is only to decide to sacrifice those who do not have much effect on the collective, and this internal survival of the fittest is also really an eye-opener for Cao Tuanchang.
Finally, I was looking forward to a good start. Commander Cao "generously" said that it doesn't matter if the money is not enough, since they are now considered to be the subordinate forces of the plundering regiment, as long as they work diligently and pay the fees on time to repay the arrears, they will still be able to continue to eat in the future.
Acknowledging this identity, of course, you must obey the management of the raiding group. Commander Cao's first instruction was that no action should be made against the orcs who came and went, and it was also not allowed to rob the good indigenous tribes. Once the plundering group knows that it has committed such a principled problem, the result is only four words, kill them all!
Under the threat of death, their heads are dotted like chickens pecking rice. They understood in an instant. In the future, they will have little to do with the human caravanserais, except for the human caravanserais. It's a frustrating fact, but they have no choice.
"As your eldest brother, of course, our raiding group will not watch our little brother unable to live, and the help we should provide to you will not be ambiguous either. "Captain Cao began to speak softly after a killing stick.
Just now, when the lion opened his mouth to ask for money, in the eyes of that group of bandits, he was simply the No. 1 villain in the sky, and he did everything. And in the blink of an eye, this big back became tender like water, and his face was compassionate. Let them really grow insight. If it weren't for the fact that a qiē happened in this moment, they couldn't even imagine that a person would have such extreme duplicity.
"It is not difficult to obey the management of the organization and carry out the robbery work step by step. I know many of you are thinking that we cut your throats. But I can only say that you are wrong, we are only here today to discuss cooperation with you, not to want your lives. "Captain Cao's bitter posture is addictive.
The bandits are secretly rolling their eyes, and their hearts say that if I believe you, I will be a fool. Could it be that the dozens of corpses on the ground are the process that you have always used to negotiate cooperation? This is not called asking for human life, then what is calling for human life?
"Don't just look at the present, don't dwell on the past. Look ye to the future. Why don't you want to think about how beautiful the vision will be for us to work together?" When he didn't see the faces of these guys, Captain Cao said to himself: "I allow you to eat in my backyard, this is already benevolent and righteous. And you should understand the truth that you must keep your voice down when you send people under the fence. As long as you work diligently, I promise that you will not go hungry at any time, which is also one of my principles, and it is also a promise made to you by me, the boss. ”
"Why aren't you hungry? You've robbed us of our money. The bandit leader Nikolai Wu looked at Captain Cao with an expressionless face, even if his life was in the hands of others, he couldn't stand this big back and acted by himself.
"Simple. What you think is robbery now, that's just your personal opinion, in my case, I regard this money as a statement of your entry into the gang. From today onwards, as long as you do not commit the principled issues that I appealed, I can trade with you on time and exchange ideas. You have money, but you lack some necessary daily necessities and entertainment. And I, except for the lack of money, have everything. Commander Cao said with a sneering face: "You are robbing money just to live a high-quality life, right? But if you think about it carefully, even if you grab money, are you living a better life? Seeing the essence of life, you are not only doing high-risk work now, but you have not lived a good life! You don't eat well, you dress poorly, your living environment is a mess, and you have to face many peers to find fault and provoke you all day long, which day have you slept peacefully?"
The bandits looked at each other for a while, and although they were forced to be educated here, they had to admit that every word of the big back was on point, and it was all the truth...... (To be continued......)
