However, Raymond did not cut him, but raised his voice, "Who else wants to drink? ”

An invisible sense of oppression once again made the hearts of the thieves beat wildly, and at this time, the calmer Raymond behaved, the more terrible the anger in his heart became. Whoever dares to respond is killing themselves, right?

However, there are always exceptions, and there are some stunned young people in the group who are dissatisfied with Raymond, and at this time, they are excited, and their blood is surging on their heads, how can they manage so much.

So several guys stood up with provocative expressions: "We want to drink, so what?"

"If you want to drink, come here. Raymond gestured to the large pile of wine bottles beside him.

So with a sad expression, several people walked over and grabbed the wine bottle. However, it could be seen that their hands were trembling slightly, indicating that they had come to their senses.

However, Raymond still didn't take them as well...

"Does anyone want to drink?" he just shouted to the bandits again.

At this time, someone finally saw that something was wrong, and Freddie and Luz exchanged strange glances, and the residents of Headington also exchanged words one after another.

He... Wouldn't it really be just a gang of thieves for a drink?

So, a robber walked over with the courage to pick up the bottle and start drinking, and it was all right.

Seeing this, the two robbers also walked over, carefully grabbed the wine bottle, and were still fine.

And then a couple of people walked up, and a couple of them, followed by a bunch of people...

Finally, the group of thieves found out that Raymond had really invited them to drink. Then the crowd cheered, buzzed, grabbed the bottle and began to drink, and immediately outside the tavern there was a burst of unbridled laughter.

"Ahaha, I haven't drunk in a few days, it's so happy. ”

"If we knew we didn't need money, we would have come a long time ago. ”

"When you sneaked out, we were worried about what would happen, but it was fine. ”

......

Harrot grabbed a bottle of ale and poured it into his mouth, and said triumphantly: "I know that Boss Raymond is from the Modina continent with us after all, how can he help outsiders because of a little thing." Drink, brethren. ”

At this time, both Ruz and Freddy showed expressions of disbelief, they obviously couldn't understand how Raymond's shrewdness could do such a foolish thing.

It was a golden opportunity to restrain the bandits and gain the trust of the inhabitants of Headington. But Raymond not only let it go in vain, but also added fuel to the fire, he can't be dizzy, right?

Over there, the residents of Headington clenched their fists in anger when they saw Raymond protecting his men in such a way, almost in a crowd.

Charlotte's face was also full of surprise, she had just changed her impression of Raymond, and Raymond did such a disappointing thing. She could hardly believe that the person in front of her was the same person as the shrewd guy just now.

"Miss Charlotte, give orders, and it is up to us to maintain the dignity of Headington. At this time, the angry guards said one after another.

"Hmph, I originally thought that this guy was talking eloquently, and he had some skills, but he didn't know that he was just such a good-natured person. Lambert and the others also gloated.

"Charlotte, you are still too young to be fooled by such a person. ”

At this time, Raymond walked over to Charlotte: "I'm really sorry, I will compensate for the losses and medical expenses they caused, and of course the wine money is the same." ”

"It's... Is this your disposition?" Charlotte was so angry that she almost trembled.

Seemingly unaware of her annoyance, Raymond said indifferently: "Ah, the main thing is that these guys haven't drunk for too long, so it's a little reckless, and it's not a big deal." ”

Hearing him say such a casual remark, the people next to him became more and more angry, and several impulsive guards almost rushed up.

"Mayor Mare—" Morini looked unspeakable.

Thinking that it would be up to these people to drive out the robbers and use merchant ships to sell the backlog of goods in Headington, Charlotte's face changed several times, and finally compromised: "Understood, let's do it." Later, I will have someone calculate the amount to be compensated and give it to you. ”

"Miss Charlotte, how can this be!" cried out the guards.

"Thank you," Raymond nodded, turning and walking over to the bandits, who were still drinking and laughing.

Picking up a bottle from the bar, Raymond poured himself a glass of wine and said to the bandits, "I wish us a safe arrival in Veronica, a toast." ”

"It's done!"

"That's like a boss. ”

......

When the group of thieves who were drinking vigorously heard this, they suddenly agreed, and the atmosphere was very lively for a while.

"Did you have a good drink?"

"It's happy!

Draining the wine in the glass in one gulp, ignoring the people in Hedington who were almost spewing fire from their eyes, Raymond casually threw the wine bottle, and then there was a crisp thud.

Alarmed by this voice, the thieves all turned their heads to look at him in astonishment.

"So. Raymond slapped his palm: "Since you're all drunk, give me a good listen." I took care of this incident for you, as a little compensation for all of your hard work for so many days. ”

"But..."Speaking of this, Raymond changed his previous casualness, and his eyes sank slightly: "We will stay in this town in the future, so please abide by the laws here." If anyone makes trouble again in the future, I will never spare it, do you hear clearly?"

However, how could the thieves, who had already drunk and dazed, really take it to heart? They only raised the wine bottle in their hands symbolically and snorted a few times to indicate that they had heard it.

Only Harlot, while the other robbers were still immersed in alcohol, his miraculous survival instinct made his heart flutter and wake up.

"This guy doesn't seem to be talking casually..."There was a voice in his heart that kept reminding him.

"Well, rest assured, I've made it clear to them. At this time, Raymond raised his voice again to the surrounding residents.

However, seeing his performance just now, who would believe it?

However, whether the bandits and residents believed him or not, Raymond didn't care. Pulling Catwoman's ears at the drunk, he beckoned Freddie and Luz and left.

"Meow, young master, why don't you allow people to drink from those guys?" Along the way, Baste touched her hot ears and complained incessantly.

"Stupid, don't you see the faces of those people next to you? Raymond slapped her on the head.

"But that's what you did. Catwoman couldn't help but say.

"Young master, I don't understand why you did that. At this time, Lutz also said.

"What do you think, Freddy?" Raymond didn't answer, but instead asked.

Under the brim of Freddie's wide hat, there was always that grim expression: "Very unwise." But they don't need to get used to the Hydington guys, sooner or later they'll figure out who the real masters of this town are. ”

"Ahaha, you're thinking too much about this. Raymond laughed, "I'm not doing this to the inhabitants of Headington. ”

"So," Freddie said incredulously, "are you really going to indulge those guys?"

Raymond shrugged: "Why not? I said before, they ran away with us and fled here, and they have been afraid for so long, of course they are entitled to indulge once." ”

"That being said, we have just arrived in Hydington, and it is not appropriate to annoy the inhabitants in these little things. Lutz argued.

Drinking and fighting is really not a thing, and this is true among humans, and even less for them from the Orc Empire. Lutz's concern has always been the hearts and minds of the local residents.

Raymond shrugged his shoulders: "Since it's just a trivial matter, then why do I have to sacrifice my men to curry favor with others? Besides, I have promised to compensate in full, so it's not a bully." ”

"Young master, you know I didn't mean that. Lutz said in a deep voice.

"Okay, okay, I understand what you're worried about. Raymond waved his hand.

Lutz said without backing down: "I think that those people must be disciplined as soon as possible, otherwise you have given them the wrong signal this time, and sooner or later there will be a bigger mess." ”

Raymond smiled: "No, I said it, the time has not yet come." If those guys really take my words on their ears, it's not too late for you to do it. ”

"Hmph, it's impossible, they're going to make trouble again. Bathter pouted.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Tell me, what do you think about the robbers?" Raymond said, stretching.

Freddy said dissatisfiedly: "There is too little information, what is the detailed number of people on the other side, where is the camp, what is the law of activities, who are the leaders... For more than half a year, they didn't know anything about it, and the guy in charge of collecting intelligence in this town should be hanged. ”

Raymond couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're too them, after all, it's just an ordinary trading town." ”

"Besides, these Baths can be detected, so it's not a big problem. ”

"Lalala, I'm a terrible scout. Catwoman cocked her tail triumphantly.

"Although there are many people, they are divided into three parts, at least this is good news. Lutz said.

"That way, we have a chance to break it one by one. ”

"Really?" Raymond touched his chin, "I'm thinking about how to get them together." ”

"What, young master, what are you thinking? Bastet shouted.

Lutz and Freddie also looked at each other in surprise, it was already strange that Raymond connived at the group of thieves to make trouble. Now in the face of an enemy with an advantage in numbers, he obviously has every chance to break through, but he wants to bring the other party together, which is really abnormal.

"Young master, you're really weird today, aren't you having a fever?" Catwoman couldn't help but reach out and touch Raymond's forehead.

"Go aside. Raymond angrily pulled her hand away.

Lutz persuaded: "Young master, the other party is several times the number of us, and it is a robber with strong combat effectiveness. There are only about 100 people on our side, and they don't listen to orders much, and the strength of Headington's garrison is too poor to fight them. ”

"It's better to find a way to cut off the connection between the enemies, and break each one. ”

Raymond shook his head: "From common sense, this is indeed the best tactic. However, our aim is to sweep away all the bandits outside Headington, and even if we defeat one or two of them and alarm the rest, it is fine for them to escape, but it will be very troublesome to clear them out if they are fighting guerrillas outside the city. ”

"So, it's the most effective way to get them all together. ”

"But the strength between the two sides..."

Raymond smiled and pointed to his head: "The battle is not about the number of people, it's about the number of people." Besides..."

As he spoke, he pointed to a few people: "I still have you, and you, can't I really clean up a few hundred robbers?"

"Meow, young master, you really realize the value of others!" Bath was excited.

"Ah, sorry, I'm talking about Freddie. ”

"Whew, how is that..."

Then, Raymond said: "Moreover, I want to let the people of Hydington realize our strength through this battle." Therefore, this battle is not only to raise their prestige, but also to establish confidence for them, and this is the most basic premise if we want to use this as a base for development in the future. ”

"You made a lot of decisions today that I couldn't understand, but this is the guy I knew. Freddie's gloomy eyes flashed with appreciation.

"Young master, handsome!"

Lutz reminded: "There's one more thing I'm concerned about. It's a little strange that the robbers have been wreaking havoc outside for more than half a year, but they haven't once attacked Headington's idea. ”

"What's wrong?" Raymond was puzzled: "There are nearly 10,000 residents in Headington, and there are simple defenses on the perimeter, so it's not so easy to start." I don't think the robbers need to attack here. ”

Freddie said, "I noticed that too. Have you ever wondered who the robbers could rob when all the caravans were afraid to come to Headington, and if they didn't get a penny, wouldn't they leave and not fight the town?"

As soon as he said this, Raymond also realized. He mused, "Indeed, this is very unreasonable. However, most of the year is not a long time, and perhaps the previous harvest is very rich, so they are reluctant to leave, or it is not yet time to give up here. ”

Freddie nodded, "It's also possible." Or maybe those guys are actually instructed by someone, such as the city opposite Beddington, in order to weaken the opponent, so they use this trick. ”

Although this matter is strange, there may be too many surnames, and the three of them can't guess why for a while. Raymond said simply: "Don't think about it so much, catch a few robbers when the time comes, and you will understand by asking." ”

It was indeed the easiest way to do it, and Freddie and Luz nodded in agreement. At this time, there was a shout from behind the four people, but it was Rickett who hurriedly chased after him.

"My lord, I've heard that it's really unwise for you to do that. "Running to Raymond's side, he split his head and covered his head with this sentence.

Raymond couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seemed that he was really angry today. Not wanting to dwell on this issue, he changed the subject and said, "How are you talking with Drea?"

Sure enough, Rickett's face immediately turned pale: "I've already negotiated with him." The initial employment period is one year, during which time the Cangyun will be used by us, but all maintenance costs will have to be paid by us. As for commissions, I also spoke of a suitable level"

"However, according to my preliminary estimate, as long as we can successfully establish trade ties with Mr. Reid, within a year we will have far more benefits than expenses, and it will definitely be a good deal. ”

Secret Dao is worthy of being an expert in internal affairs, and he thinks really thoughtfully, which saves him a lot of things. Raymond put his arm around Rickett's shoulders affectionately, and said as he walked, "We've negotiated over there." But then, there's something I want to ask you about. ”

"What's the matter?" asked Rickett.

"Didn't you grow up here? Raymond's gaze looked into the distance: "Because, I'm afraid we're going to be here for a long time." ”
