While he was meditating, a pirate came in. He was a scout who specialized in investigating the movements of passing caravans or armies. Now that he came in, it meant that he had new information.
Could it be that the Fifth Corps is coming! Jeffrey suddenly thought.
"Chief, we found a caravan in the woods near Feilchen. They carried a lot of food, but there were only a dozen of them. This is a rare opportunity."
This pirate scout encouraged his leader to rob the caravan. Due to the recent shortage of food, their daily meals were only half of what they used to be. This situation has long made a group of people dissatisfied.
Now that I have the opportunity to change my diet, of course I want my leader to rob.
"Don't be anxious yet. Call Judson and Hull over."
Jeffrey first decided to call his trusted subordinates to discuss it. These are extraordinary times and he must be careful about everything.
When the scout found out, he left immediately, and then several burly men walked in.
The first person Jeffrey saw coming in was Judson, who was his most trusted subordinate, and the second person was Hull, who, like Judson, was Jeffrey's trusted subordinate, and the rest were all captains.
They are the core members of the bandit group.
"Our scouts discovered a caravan. They had a large amount of food and only a small number of personnel to protect them. Although the Kingdom of Nord has now sent troops to suppress the bandits.
But we don’t have much food left, so we can consider snatching the goods and food from this caravan. What do you think?” Jeffrey asked tentatively.
"I don't think this will work. If we attack now, we will definitely attract the attention of the Nord army. It's better to wait until the limelight is over." Hull said first, he was unwilling to take risks.
Even though he said this, some people still came out to oppose it.
"No, we can't just stay here and starve to death. We have to go out to rob. The robbery may not be discovered by the army, but if we don't go out, we will definitely starve to death," Judson said.
In fact, it is not certain that they will starve to death. Their station is close to the sea, and these pirates can fish to satisfy their hunger. Of course, if they go out, they may be discovered, which will attract the attention of the army.
However, Judson is a traitor to the Flying Snake Bandits, and he is ready to encourage these pirates to rob.
"It seems that Judson's opinion is the same as mine." Jeffrey said to Judson. He actually wanted to go out and rob. To become the leader of the pirates, of course he was not afraid of anything. He was not afraid of the army's attack.
"Let's do this, Judson and I go out together, Hull, you guys stay here." Jeffrey gave the order.
Seeing Jeffrey's expression, Hull knew that Jeffrey must go out to rob. He sighed helplessly in his heart, hoping that this robbery would not attract the attention of the army.
Walls did not bring a horse with him. There was a forest nearby, and riding a horse was not as good as fighting on foot. He looked at the sword in his hand. It was a one-handed sword. It was ordinary in shape and slightly damaged, but its sharpness was
My own rusty sword is stronger.
This is the weapon Kaiser gave himself.
It is difficult for your sword to pierce the pirate's armor. Give this sword to you, it may save your life at a critical moment. This sentence was said by Kaiser, who is currently resting where he is.
In fact, this is to conserve energy and wait for the arrival of the pirates. For Walls and his group, it is to conserve their energy and prepare to escape. With these simple equipment, they can only become the souls of the pirates.
When fighting, we still need to rely on these professional troops.
The weather at this time was bright and sunny, but this bright sunshine could not dispel everyone's fear. Of course, only some people were afraid.
Kaiser was staring at the bright blade of his one-handed fighting ax. He knew that the ax would soon be coated with blood.
Owens is quietly looking at the Nord royal guard. He is a Nord, and of course he hopes to become a Nord royal guard. He also wants to be like Kaiser.
As for Alleyn, he looked at the forest in the distance, where a group of Nord ambushes were waiting for the enemy to arrive. Walls did not tell a few people about this plan.
He just told his men to run away when the pirates arrived, but running away was a shame for a nobleman, although many people no longer maintain this tradition.
On the other side, Jenks held his hunting bow tightly. He was hesitating whether he should stay and kill a few pirates. He also hoped to be praised by the villagers like Walls.
As for the others, they had already prepared to escape. Their purpose was very simple, to escape when the pirates came. They didn't know the plan, but they knew that after a while there would be many pirates, too many for them to defeat, so
They were ready to escape.
At this moment, a burly figure suddenly appeared on the hilltop not far away. I don't know who shouted first, "The pirates are coming." Everyone looked around.
Just then, a group of pirates armed with bucklers and axes rushed down from the hilltop.
Run, run quickly, this sentence immediately appeared in everyone's mind. Then a group of people immediately started to take steps.
"Why don't you leave?" Kaiser said to the four people who stayed where they were.
"I want to get some trophies," Walls said.
"I don't want to run away." This is what Alleyn said.
"I want to be like you." Owens said his heart directly.
Jenks' idea seems to be very simple, "I want to kill a few pirates."
Hearing what these four people said, Kaizer showed a smile. "Very good, then let us cut down these scum."
Russell mocked mercilessly: "A bunch of common people, what kind of ignorant knowledge..."
[System prompt: You were similar in the past, right? Fifty steps lead to a hundred steps! 】
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the footsteps of a group of people approaching quickly.
Jeffrey had seen most of the members of this caravan flee, but there were still five people left behind.
But there are only five people, so what does it count?
He noticed a heavily armed warrior.
Nord Royal Guard? Is it because of his presence that these four people did not escape? His scouts also told him that there was a fully armed man, and it seemed that it was him. But just this one person wanted to fight with
Are forty of us fighting?
Seeing victory in sight, Jeffrey thought that the Nord royal guard had retired and became a mercenary for this small caravan. Only three of the remaining four people in this caravan were wearing chain armor. Such combat effectiveness was simply not possible.
Compared to his subordinates.
At least more than twenty of his subordinates wear chain armor.
And he himself was wearing the most luxurious equipment. In the eyes of the pirates, he was already a very rich man.
Jeffrey wore a set of carefully crafted long-swing chain mail, with chain-mail leggings on his legs, and a fighter helmet on his head. He held a battle ax in both hands, which could easily chop.
With the chain mail open, ordinary armor is just a piece of wood in front of him.
Not only that, he also carries a bag of short javelins on his back. When the enemy is close, he can use this javelin to pierce the enemy's head.
And his most trusted subordinate Judson also wore chain armor, leggings, and carried a one-handed battle ax and a round shield.
Jeffrey believes he can kill all these guys, Nord Royal Guard? He is not afraid!
"Kill them and grab all their food."
After hearing these words, the pirates ran faster. They were not afraid. These people were like lambs. Soon, their blood would stick to their axes and swords.
"Whoosh" Jenks shot one of his arrows, and it hit a pirate in the chest. His speed slowed down, but he was wearing chain armor and the distance was a bit far away.
This resulted in the damage he received being relatively low. Therefore, he did not die, but only suffered minor injuries.
"My bow is not powerful enough." As he said this, Jenks shot another arrow.
The same arrow also hit the pirate, but due to the equipment of the pirate, the pirate was only slightly injured. If Jenks had changed to a more powerful bow, the effect would have been different.
Already.
"You should retreat first. It is better for you to use your bow and arrow from behind." Walls said to Jenks.
Jenks nodded, he knew where his position was as an archer. As soon as Jenks left, he heard a loud roar in his ears.
"You scumbag in front of you, please stretch your neck for me."
This sound frightened all the birds in the forest away, and also frightened the pirates on the opposite side.
"This curse word is very artistic, I want to learn it." At this time, Russell, who was watching, was very fond of it.
[System prompt: That’s it, it’s much more refined than the cliché you used to say that this mountain is mine!]
The next moment, a burst of noise rang out from all around.
"What's going on?" Jeffrey, the leader of the pirates, heard the movement around him. He glanced around and was immediately frightened.
A group of Nord soldiers appeared from all around.
"Quick, quick, retreat quickly." Although he didn't know the specific number of this group of Nord soldiers, Jeffrey believed that they must be more numerous than himself, and it was always right to retreat first no matter what.
Jeffrey, who was so high-spirited just now, is now like a defeated puppy.
Jeffrey wanted to escape, but Walls would not let them escape. Kaiser, Alleyne, Owens and Jenks would not let them escape. Not only would they not, but these Nord soldiers who hated bandits would not let them escape.
