Chapter 824 Return to the Corner of Plenty
Gunn spent four days clearing out dozens of miles in radius. They defeated more than a dozen groups of bandits and rescued hundreds of abducted women.
I thought I would have two days of leisure, but unexpectedly I was visited by a group of uninvited guests.
Those people were all villagers from other places. I didn't know where they heard about the people coming from Shuangxiujiao to help suppress the bandits, so they all came to ask for help, and some people also brought the few gold coins they had.
They had secretly hidden the money before and were not robbed by the robbers, but now they donated it on their own initiative, hoping that someone could protect them and give them a way to survive.
Gunn was in a bit of trouble. His duty was to protect Adele and the other warriors. If the robbers were nearby, it wouldn't be a big deal, but if they ran too far and something really happened, he might It was too late to come back.
Moreover, I heard from the villagers just now that there is a group of very powerful bandits entrenched near Long Table Town, with more than a hundred people in number, and their weapons and armor are better than ordinary bandits. It is suspected that they are disguised as troops under the command of a certain noble.
Gunn is not afraid of these people, but he also doesn't want to cause trouble.
He looked at Adele, who was also frowning slightly at this moment, but soon her eyebrows widened again and asked Gunn, "How are the training of the militiamen you recruited?" < br>
Gunn said, "I asked Floss to teach them some basic fighting skills during the days I was out, but the time was too short, and they definitely didn't master it so quickly, but Floss said there are still some people here who have some foundation.
"Fros asked those people, and they said that they had been militiamen before. Although they were a bit old, as long as they had enough to eat, adjusted their bodies, and were equipped with weapons, they could still fight, but the number was small. A little bit.”
"Perhaps we can gather all the people in nearby villages who can fight." Adele suggested.
Gunn was stunned when he heard this, but soon understood what the female monk meant, "Well, this is a way... As long as we can gather fifty or sixty people, it will be difficult for ordinary robbers to take advantage of them. Cheaper.”
Adele still bit her lip, "If those bandits don't come to rob them, they will go to other villages to harm other villages. Only by wiping out those guys can the people here live a normal life."
"Are these just people who have only been trained for a few days?" Gunn shook his head, "These militiamen are okay for guarding the village, but it is unrealistic to expect them to get rid of all the bandits, and those bandits can also run faster than them. ”
"What if we are added?" Adele refused to give up.
"Add us?"
"I know that the soldiers of the Black Dog Guard are very brave and extremely loyal to my Lord Saturday. However, your number is a bit small. If we can recruit more people and be led by you, can we destroy more bandits and save More villages? ”
Gunn thought carefully for a moment and felt that this proposal was quite feasible, but before he could speak, a man named Lucy Hughes reminded him.
"If we just raise an army like this, do we need the consent of the local lords?"
Adele also reacted at this time, "Oh, this area is Lord Wilder's territory. I can write to him. He is also a believer of our Lord Saturday, so he will definitely not object."
"What about other places?" Lucy asked again.
"I don't know. Let's help Mr. Wilder wipe out all the bandits in his territory first. Let's take it one step at a time."
At this time, Adele still didn't know how many people her decision would save in the future, and how much trouble it would bring to Shuangxiujiao and her friend Ilea.
As the female nurse herself said, at this time she just hopes to help more people.
On the other side, Ilea has also led her army to the Cape of Plenty.
This town located in the westernmost part of the Golden Valley is now closed, and the city walls are filled with densely packed defenders, looking heavily guarded.
Wilder had been yelling and cursing outside the city gate for most of the day, but no one came out. Only sporadic arrows fell at the beginning.
But Wilder was fully armored and he was far away. Those arrows fell to the ground weakly before they could fly in front of him.
Of course, Wilder did not take it lightly. He was always paying attention to what was going on in the city. Once the Winged Tribe flew out, he would immediately turn around and run away.
After all, face is a small matter and life is at stake, but I don't know if those Wing tribe members are also afraid of the flintlock guns and the White Queen on the resistance side, but they are also particularly able to keep their composure, and no one has shown up until now.
Wilder got tired after scolding for a long time, and the army happened to arrive, so he withdrew first. After hearing what he said about the situation in the city, the female lord immediately asked a soldier to release the three-eyed bird and flew towards the city. .
As the drone continued to rise, the scene on the city wall soon became clear.
It can be seen that the defenders in the city are well prepared. In addition to a large number of arrows, they have also stocked stones and rolling logs in advance. In addition to archers, there are many spearmen and swordsmen on each wall.
Miss Rabbit even saw four trebuchets. According to Wilder, those trebuchets were not from the city. They should have been newly built during this period and used to defend the city.
The female lord is not too worried about those trebuchets, because they are not very accurate. Unless there are a large number of them, they may pose a threat to an area. If there are only four of them, they will not be of much effect.
As the drone continued to fly forward, Miss Rabbit finally saw a Wing Tribe man. He was standing in a small square with several noble-looking people. At this time, the Wing Tribe man also noticed the strange flying in the sky. things.
But before he could see clearly, Miss Rabbit immediately ordered the three-eyed bird to come back.
She remembered that Li Yu had mentioned this thing to her. It seemed to be quite valuable and was rare in the Kingdom of God. The female lord did not want it to be shot down here, so she quickly returned it without having time to look at it.
But in just a few dozen seconds, she also got a glimpse of a lot of things. For example, the number of defenders in the city was estimated to be at least 20,000 to 30,000, and the Wing Clan members were also there, but she didn't see either end of them. dragon.
The female lord didn't know whether this was good news.
However, it seems that the Wing Clan people are not willing to accept their defeat in the Western Region, and want to have a good fight with them here.
After taking back the drone, Ilea was thinking about how to fight the next battle, when she saw Wilder who seemed to have something to say to her. (End of chapter)
