On Raymond's side, indifferent indifference, thick-skinned and thick-skinned, it doesn't matter, everyone is like no one, and the gap between the two sides is immediate.

Javier quietly looked at the subtle changes between the two sides, then smiled and turned the topic over: "Your Excellency Reed has sent me this time, in addition to learning about the current situation in Beddington, it is about the establishment of trade relations between our two sides. ”

Seeing that he finally got down to business, Charlotte immediately showed a look of attention. Javier glanced at everyone, "Your Excellency Reed said that he is very happy to do business with you. But there is a premise, and that is that there must be a stable environment in Headington, otherwise we will not risk sending merchant ships here. Do you understand what I mean?"

The meaning of this is already very obvious, obviously if the bandit group outside the town is not destroyed, Reed's merchant ships will not be discussed.

So, Charlotte and the others immediately looked at Raymond in unison.

It took so much effort to get you to tell the truth, but now I can't wait. Raymond had no choice but to spread his hands: "Don't worry, when Drea's ship comes back, I will start working." ”

"Oh, I wonder what your plans are?" Javier said with interest.

Raymond said: "To put it simply, I plan to reunite the three thieves and kill them in one fell swoop. ”

"There are 6 or 700 people on the other side. Even with the addition of the town's garrison, we only have about 300 people, how can we win. Lambert couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes, I've heard the general situation, isn't it the best way to break them one by one?" Javier said.

Raymond waved his hand: "That would be too time-consuming, if the thieves are frightened and escape, it will be very troublesome to eliminate them in the future, so I plan to do it once and for all." ”

"As for the number gap, it's not big enough to make up for it. ”

In fact, there is another reason, Raymond did not say it. That is, to break this tactic one by one, it requires a well-trained army to carry it out. Because the biggest feature of this tactic is rapid movement, which is a great test of the soldier's training level.

And his group of thieves, although they were trained by Lutz for a few days, only learned to be obedient. The training of the garrison in Headington is even worse, and it is obviously a fantasy to rely on these people to do continuous sports operations, and when the time comes, it will be thankful that the team will not disperse if it runs dozens of miles.

Therefore, it is the best strategy to gather the group of thieves together, use stratagem to make up the gap between these hundreds of people, and then annihilate the other party in one fell swoop.

"So, how do you get the robbers together?" asked Javier again.

Raymond glanced at Freddy, who said in a deep voice, "Since no merchant dared to come to Headington, I believe those guys haven't grabbed anything for a long time. If a batch of valuable goods is suddenly transported out of the city, the three bandit groups will definitely not let go, because they have a precedent of uniting against the mercenary group, so we believe that when the time comes, they will definitely gather together and share the spoils together. ”

"But how do you let them know?"

"Quite simply, at the same time that Drea's ship entered the harbor, I had already sent someone to spread the rumors. Those guys have been out there for so long, they must have planted an eyeliner in the city, and maybe by this time, the rumors have already reached their ears. ”

"Wonderful. Javier couldn't help but slap his palm.

"By the way, did the batch I ordered arrive with it?" Raymond asked.

Javier nodded: "Don't worry, it's all first-class." ”

"Well, I'll wait and see. ”

A few days later, the gossip began to spread in Headington. Raymond and his foreign caravan planned to quietly transport a batch of precious goods purchased from overseas out of Headington and sell them in other towns.

After that, there are upgraded versions of various rumors, from the detailed number, type, value of this batch of goods, and even the time and route of secret transportation, all of which have been gossiped out, of course, there are various claims, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false.

But one thing is for sure, and that is that this shipment is very valuable.

While the rumors gradually dispersed, Raymond's side also stepped up preparations. The only men they could use this time were the 100 men who had just been converted into the escort team, and the 200 garrisons in Headington.

During this period, the robbers' eyeliner hidden in Haydington was also found one by one. Don't forget how Freddie was born, with his ability, it was a no-brainer to deal with those few eyeliners who were not professional at all.

At the same time, the good news came that the robbers, who have a fine tradition of cooperation, have really gathered together and are ready to share this rare fat sheep.

That's it, everything is ready, and it's time for the last move.

Two days later, on a quiet night, a carriage, escorted by a dozen men, quietly left Headington and galloped into the night.

Just as the carriage was leaving the city, behind a pile of rocks outside the city, several pairs of eyes were also watching the speeding convoy. It wasn't until the carriage was gone away that several men who had hidden behind the stones jumped on their horses and rushed into the night.

However, none of them noticed that while they were concentrating on monitoring the carriage, a pair of blue and yellow eyes on the outer wall of Headington's outer wall also watched their movements.

"Alright, the robbers' scouts have all left, I'll go and inform the young master, and you should act according to the plan. Baste jumped off the wall and said to the group of people waiting below.

It was about 30 cavalrymen, and judging by their uniforms, it was the garrison of Headington. However, in addition to these 30 people, the rest of the garrison, and the 100 bandits under Raymond... Oh no, it's time to say the convoys, all gone.

As a trading town, Headington was once prosperous, and the town's garrison was responsible for escorting small caravans, so it was equipped with a certain number of cavalry. Although it has been defeated now, it is still possible to get together nearly 50 people, except for the more than 10 people who left with the carriage, the rest are all here.

The leader nodded in understanding, and then the cavalry left the town and followed unhurriedly along the road from which the carriage had left.

"Okay, I'm going to go too. Baste turned again.

Under a house not far away, Charlotte, Morini and other leaders of Headington were all there, and this attack was related to Headington's future, so even if they couldn't help much, they couldn't help but come. Javier was also on the list, but unlike the nervousness of Charlotte and the others, he seemed very leisurely, as if he was waiting to watch a good show.

"Please. Charlotte took a deep breath and said as calmly as she could.

"Don't worry, the young master will definitely kill them all. Baste said confidently. She waved her hand to a few people and disappeared into the night ghostly.

Leaving Headington, Bathter rushed straight into the wilderness, and she spread out with all her might, and made her way to her destination with astonishing speed.

About half an hour later, Catwoman rushed up a hill in twos and threes, and then stopped and took a few quick breaths.

Looking down from here, I found that in the open space behind the hillside, there was a large group of people pressed by the black. On such a dark night, they did not light a single light, which seemed quite mysterious.

Could it be that all the robbers are hiding here?

After breathing a little, Baste walked down the hill. The strange thing is that she didn't hide her figure as usual, and she didn't seem to be afraid of being discovered by the other party at all, but after all, she was a first-class scout, and by the night, she almost swaggered to the side of the group, and the other party came to the alert.

A man who was resting suddenly noticed that there was more person next to him, and he was so frightened that he quickly jumped up: "Who is it?"

However, before the words fell, the man felt a tap on the shoulder, and there was no trace of Bastet in front of him, and at the same time a voice came from behind him: "You are too slow." ”

The man was shocked and hurriedly turned around, only to see a white figure, already a few meters away.

At this point, the others also spotted Baust, but did not cause any movement. Because these people turned out to be the part of the team that lost their traces.

They weren't in Headington, and they didn't follow the cavalry to protect the wagon, so how did they get here?

At this time, Raymond beckoned to Baste from the crowd: "How's the situation over there?"

Baste walked over and said, "As soon as the carriage went out, it was targeted by enemy scouts, and our cavalry had already followed as planned. ”

"Good. Raymond nodded. He sat on the floor, a simple map in front of him, and beside him were Harlot, and an officer-like man in a garrison uniform. Strangely, Lutz was nowhere to be seen.

The map was made by Baste, who had been trained as scouts and had drawn it when she was looking for a bandit camp some time ago. The map clearly shows the exact location of the bandit camp, the city of Headington, and the nearby roads, as well as the approximate distance from each other.

Although there are only some simple lines and triangles, circles and other graphics, which look extremely rudimentary, those who know the goods can see at a glance that this is definitely a standard military sketch that can be used as a reference for operations.

Raymond pointed to the map and said, "If the plan goes well, the carriage will arrive near the bandit camp in about an hour, and the valley over there is the best ambush spot, so the other party will definitely do it." ”

As he spoke, Raymond pointed to a location between the bandits' camp and the city of Headington: "We are here, if we set off immediately, we should be able to reach the rear of the bandits' camp in about half an hour, and the time is just enough to cooperate with the action over there." ”

To compensate for the lack of marching speed, they left Headington ahead of schedule and set up an ambush in this place. In order to cooperate with the men and horses of the other way, launch an attack on the bandits.

"There are only 50 brothers over there, and Luz alone, is it all right?" said the officer of the garrison worriedly.

His name is Shaun, and he is the commander of the Haydington garrison, who has worked as a mercenary before, and has also spent time in the army of the Dirk Kingdom, and has a lot of combat experience. Although there is no special talent, but the advantages are also here, mediocre but no major shortcomings, I know the duty of being a soldier.

This time, Charlotte instructed him to listen to Raymond's command, and he did not complain and fully cooperated, which was rare.

"Don't worry, as long as Luz is there, it's okay over there. "Raymond certainly won't be worried. With Luz's strong combat power, the battle of 100 people is not a problem at all.

"The main battlefield is still on our side, but don't worry, although there are fewer people than the other side, as long as we go according to plan, we will definitely win. Raymond cheered him on.

Sean nodded: "Then I'll go and gather the troops." ”

With that, Sean left. When Harlot saw this, he also stood up.

Raymond suddenly grabbed him: "This is our first battle, don't let me down." ”

Harlot patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, the brothers are not bad breeds. Since I decided to do it with you, there is no reason to retract it again. Besides, no one wants to do their old job anymore. ”

After Lutz's "training" these days, coupled with Freddy's brainwashing from time to time, the original robbers more or less had the idea of resigning themselves to their fate, and then turned into loyal servants to Raymond.

"Good. Raymond said with satisfaction: "Those guys have been entrenched for so long, they must have grabbed a lot of good things." Tell them that if they win this time, I won't treat them badly. ”

Harlot's eyes lit up immediately, he nodded excitedly, and walked towards his subordinates: "Get up and assemble, everyone listen to me, give me a hard time tonight, we must not lose to those people in the garrison!"

This obviously provocative remark immediately made the garrison next to him look sideways. Because of the past festival between the two sides, no one can see who is not pleasing to the eye, and this time they cooperate in the battle, and naturally they also have the intention of competition.

However, the people in the escort team were not very active, and they only answered a few times lazily, obviously not interested in this kind of motivation.

With a roll of his eyes, Harlot shouted again: "Lord Raymond said, as long as you win, you will be rewarded!"

Everyone first shook for a moment, and then let out a burst of cheers in unison, and the momentum was simply incomparable to just now.

In this regard, Raymond can only smile helplessly, although he has been "good", but these people still retain their previous habits, so they will respond so enthusiastically to this bandit-style incentive method.

However, as Freddie said, these guys are fierce and unconcerned, and if they are used properly, they are definitely a force to be reckoned with. Just look at the momentum they burst out, far more than the garrison with more people, it can be seen.

Thinking of this, he stood up: "Okay, let's go!"
