Chapter Eighty-Six: The Frontier Guards
Reagan was puzzled, why such a group of simple soldiers would sell ordnance, and whether their living conditions were for the pursuit of enjoyment, then for what? Reagan thought as he walked, and soon followed Mu Sen into the living room.
This living room is not large, and there is no luxurious decoration, the furnishings in the room are all wooden, and the handwork is rough, and the signs of wear and tear should have been used for a long time.
Mu Sen invited Regan and Nuosen to take a seat, and asked the soldiers to bring drinks to Ray and Nuosen, and only after the soldiers went out, Mu Sen asked, "I wonder what Ray and Earl need me to do when they come to us?"
Mu Sen hadn't dealt with nobles much before, and he didn't like to deal with nobles, so he didn't beat around the bush with Regan, and directly asked Regan's intentions.
Lei didn't expect Mu Sen to be so direct, so he simply said straight to the point: "There are indeed some things that Captain Mu Sen needs to help with, Captain Mu Sen, I don't know if you recognize these things?"
After Mu Sen saw the crossbow, his eyes suddenly burst out, and his face showed a hint of unease.
Ray took in Mu Sen's expression, and then said, "Captain Billy asked me to bring you greetings. ”
Mu Sen looked at Reagan with burning eyes, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes and a hint of struggle.
Mu Sen knew that his arms sales had been exposed, so he stood up violently, wanting to call someone to destroy the nobleman in front of him, in this place where bandits are rampant, it is nothing to kill a nobleman, it can be pushed on the bandits, and they are all their own people here, and they will not leak the news.
At this moment, Mu Sen saw a flash of fighting energy on Nuosen's body, and then heard Lei Xiang say unhurriedly: "Captain Mu Sen, don't be excited, I was sent by the new lord of the Seaside Province, Count Ivan, and he still has a lot of this stuff there." Reagan gestured to the military crossbow on the table.
When Mu Sen heard this, he knew that even if he killed these people in front of him, it would be useless, so he sat back in his chair with a blank expression, and said lightly: "I have received an order some time ago, after Lord Ivan arrives, we will evacuate, but the strange thing is that my people have not received news from Lord Ivan so far, I don't know where he is now?"
Ray shrugged and said, "I don't know exactly where it is, but in two days, he will appear in the lair of the Electric Light Bandits." ”
Mu Sen thought for a long time before he said in surprise: "Could it be?"
Lei nodded and said, "That's right, the bandits here have basically been exterminated by the lord, and now only the Giant Sword Bandit Group remains, which is also the purpose of my here." "Mu Sen is a man who understands, and he has already guessed the purpose of Regan's here.
If it were normal times, Mu Sen could have ignored Regan, he could find a hundred reasons to refuse, but Regan came with a crossbow, it was different, this was clearly a threat.
After listening to Regan's words, Mu Sen walked back and forth in the living room with his hands behind his back, thinking about the pros and cons.
After a long time, Mu Sen made up his mind, and said with a resolute face: "Since the lord can destroy so many bandits, there must be a lot of people who follow him, right?"
Lei said with a smile: "Captain Mu Sen also said just now, you will evacuate after Lord Ivan arrives, I don't know if Captain Mu Sen is on the way to evacuate, what will you do if you encounter bandits?
Mu Sen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought to himself: "If that's the case, of course it's a meritorious service, it seems that this lord sent someone to me to ask me to help, not to report my arms trafficking, but to use this matter to blackmail me." But there seems to be no way to refuse, if this thing is stabbed out, it will be a capital crime. ”
Mu Sen let out a long sigh and said with a dejected expression, "What do you need us to do?"
Lei said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just hope that you can cooperate with our people to attack the lair of the Giant Sword Bandit Clan, because you heavy infantry are the best attacking troops." ”
Mu Sen thought about it and felt that it was okay to just cooperate, as long as he rushed in with the lord's troops, he would have nothing to do with himself in the future, and with the defense of these heavy infantry under his command, there should be no damage. Mu Sen nodded and said, "Yes, but" Mu Sen looked at the hand crossbow on the table, and then at Regan, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Lei Xiang saw Mu Sen looking at the crossbow, of course he understood what he meant, so he promised: "You can rest assured about this, the lord will form a legion in the future, and it is normal for these things to appear in the lord's troops." After this incident, all the bandits who know about this matter will disappear, and our people will not talk nonsense, and after a while, even if we regret it, you have already left here and returned to the army, who will believe us at that time?"
Mu Sen pondered for a moment, and felt that what Reagan said was very reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I believe in you, there is no injustice between us, and you don't need to harm me." When are we going to attack the Greatsword Bandits?"
Ray replied, "Before noon the day after tomorrow, you will rush to the lair of the Electro Bandit Group to meet Lord Ivan, and the lord will tell you the specific time and plan at that time." ”
Mu Sen thought about it, although the time was a little tight, he could still arrive, so he nodded and said, "Yes, but I can only bring one hundred and fifty people over, and I still need to leave some people to guard here." ”
Regan nodded and said, "No problem, on behalf of Lord Ivan, I would like to thank Captain Mu Sen for his help, and I also congratulate Captain Mu Sen in advance for his new achievements." ”
Mu Sen smiled helplessly and said, "I hope so." ”
Sending Lei Hee away, a young man with a somewhat uneasy face came to Mu Sen's side and asked with a worried face: "Father, can we really trust them and really help them attack the Giant Sword Bandit Group?"
Mu Sen sighed and said: "What else can be done, selling weapons is a big crime to lose your head, we only have to gamble this time now, I hope that this Ivan Lord is a noble man who keeps his promises." ”
The young man said disdainfully: "Those nobles don't have a good thing, otherwise we wouldn't have ended up like this, I think it's better to do this, let's find an opportunity to kill that lord and his men together, so that no one will know about us, and we won't be threatened again." ”
Mu Sen shook his head and said, "Gabi, you're thinking too simply, we haven't met this lord yet, and we're not sure if he's good or bad, what if we kill a good person by mistake?"
Gabi said disdainfully, "He can threaten us with this, he is definitely not a good person." ”
Mu Sen said earnestly: "You can't determine whether a person is good or bad because of one thing, haven't we also bribed the nobles with gold coins? Do you think we are also bad people?"
Gabi bowed his head and was silent after hearing this, and Mu Sen continued: "That lord is not simple, he can actually destroy most of the bandits so quickly, there should be many people under him, with our manpower, it is impossible to do anything to him." Also, the guy named Norson just now, he is a junior warrior, and his combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, don't have such thoughts in the future, so as not to cause extraneous complications. ”
Mu Sen turned around and said to the several squadron leaders under him: "Let's all go and assemble the team, let's set off immediately, just leave ten people here to watch the house." After speaking, Mu Sen walked into his room.
The night before the rendezvous time, Wang Yong led the team to the vicinity of the lair of the Electric Light Bandits.
Wang Yong's team now has nearly 300 people, and the extra 100 people are bandits who surrendered after sweeping the lair of the Wolf and Robber Group.
When attacking the wolf's den, the bandits basically surrendered en masse without much resistance after learning that their boss had been captured and that the other bandit groups had almost the same fate.
Wang Yong poured poison on them, did not send anyone to take care of them, and took his own people to start sweeping up the materials in the wolf's lair, but what he didn't expect was that as a large bandit group, it was not as rich as Wang Yong thought.
After carpet scraping, Wang Yong only found less than 20,000 gold coins and more than 200 other valuables, estimated to be worth about 15,000 gold coins. There were more than 200 sets of weapons and equipment, less than 100 horses, and little food left, which was enough for them to eat for less than a month according to the 300 men before the wolf.
Wang Yong put the valuables into the space ring, called five cavalry and ten militiamen, and asked them to rush to meet Kevin with ten carriages loaded with supplies, and then Wang Yong gathered his men to continue north, setting off towards the lair of the electric light bandits.
However, when Wang Yong led the people out of the wolf's lair, he saw at a glance the bandits who had just surrendered, and they were honestly riding on their horses one by one, waiting in place in a daze.
Wang Yong suddenly felt that his head was big, he didn't send anyone to take care of these bandits just now, and he didn't tell them that it was poison when he poured the medicine, and even the horses were tied near them, Wang Yong did this to let these people escape.
But I didn't expect that these bandits were so honest that none of them escaped. Wang Yong captured more and more bandits, but the food became less and less, and if this continued, it would not be long before the remaining food would be exhausted, and everyone would have to go hungry at that time. What's more, the elixir of Thunder is too expensive, and it is extremely worthless to waste on these bandits.
Wang Yong used to catch bandits because of lack of manpower, but now it is different, if it continues like this, it is just the money for refining the potion, which is already an astronomical amount for Wang Yong now, but if the bandits are not given the potion, I am really afraid that these bandits will unite to rebel. Therefore, Wang Yong wanted them to escape, and when the drug attacked, let them fend for themselves.
didn't expect these bandits to be so honest and not run away in the face of such a good opportunity, Wang Yong also hated himself a little softly. Wang Yong could only sigh helplessly, and took them on the road with him very aggrieved.
