Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- The blacksmith Zigro came early the next morning, and at the same time he arrived with the custom-made flags and robes of the Knights.
Our things were packed up early, a group of 13 people, 10 horses (mounted by all knights), 2 donkeys (mounted by Monteil and Bitril), 2 ox carts (Ziegro's tools and ours) All household items) drove out of the city in a mighty manner.
On this journey, we plan to take the land route from Berestia City through Saint Phil, Ganglon, and Kequeta City to Red Bay, and then along the coast to Vis.
Although the land route is more circuitous than the sea route, for most people who suffer from seasickness, this is undoubtedly the best route.
Our group walked for half a month and arrived at the transit point of the journey: Red Bay on the 16th day.
"Red Bay" is the inner bay of the empire. A special kind of seaweed called "Blood Sheep's Horn" grows in large quantities in the bay. In summer, the seawater will be filled with the bright red seeds of "Blood Sheep's Horn". From a distance, the entire bay will turn red.
Since Red Bay is not on the main channel, few ships pass by here, and of course there will be no troops stationed there. Therefore, this place gradually became a good place for pirates to hide.
"Hey, Diboer, you have to hide our treasure. If it is robbed by pirates, it will be a big loss." Stanton rode beside me and looked at me thiefly. said.
Titrik¡¯s golden birdcage is really a hot commodity: if you want to sell it, no one dares to buy it; if you want to throw it away, no one (except Lilith, who doesn¡¯t know at all) is reluctant to part with it. So I had to smash it flat first, then crush it into a lump and put it in the box where Bitril kept her money. When I needed to use it, I would pry it off.
"Come and see, come and see, the 3rd Knights of the Empire are recruiting!" I stood at the entrance of a small fishing village on the edge of Red Bay with a loudspeaker in hand.
¡°You¡¯re passing by, don¡¯t miss it, you don¡¯t need a diploma as long as you are literate! The 3rd Knights are recruiting!¡± Yifa has always been the image spokesperson of the 3rd Legion, and he is very eye-catching in his fiery outfit.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? We never missed a village, a town, or a city. Wherever there were crowds of people, there would be recruiters from our 3rd Knights.
"Food is included, take care of yourself, and get the cash on time every month! Come on, come on, come and fill out a form." Stanton exerts his charm as a handsome black-haired boy all the time, but. . . . . invalid.
¡°Oh my god, why can¡¯t our knights recruit anyone?¡± After yelling for a long time, I asked the Chief of Staff Montetier next to me in a depressed tone.
"I have said it many times. Recruiting knights requires you to bring your own weapons, equipment and horses. The poor have no conditions at all. Many wealthy and capable masters have gone to the major legions and the two major knights. Who cares about our name? The unknown 3rd Knights."
"But we are also a knighthood after all? There is a princess sitting in charge!" I didn't have the confidence to say this, because not far away, Lilith was glaring at passers-by fiercely, as if she wanted to eat people.
"I said, DuBoer, I won't say much else. The key is that our Knights are not well-known. People have never heard of it, so how can they believe us."
yes! Montetier's words awakened the dreamer. It seems that propaganda is always needed.
"Hey, friends, are you looking for a knight?" Little Dennis was climbing on the table and chatting with Mr. Zhou, when suddenly the table beneath him was slapped loudly.
"Hi, Hi, who of you will sign up?" Little Dansi looked up and saw a group of strong men in front of him.
"We are from the same village, and we all have weapons and horses, but I don't know what the starting price is for your group leader?" said a leading man with a red turban.
"A rider gets 3 silver coins a month, and after being promoted to an associate knight, he gets 5 silver coins a month, and he can get three months of settlement allowance in advance. How many of you are participating?" Little Dennis felt so happy, it was really hard to find a way out of iron shoes. ah.
"There are quite a few of us, about 200 to 300 people. Do you have that much money to give us?" asked the red turban.
"Hey, look what you said, our 3rd Knights cannot afford to pay for just a few hundred people? What?! You mean a few hundred people?" Little Dennis really woke up from his nap.
"Well, there are about 300 people. Any questions?" The red turban replied affirmatively.
¡°Well, no problem, my knights are short of everything except money!¡± Little Dennis boasted, which was as good as Stanton¡¯s.
"Did you hear that, brothers! Haha! Fuck this guy and take someone! Haha!"
The face of the red turban suddenly changed, and he pulled out the scimitar from his waist, commanding a large group of men behind him to rush towards him like hungry ghosts.
"Master DuBoer! Master DuBoer"""Lilith and I were sitting in front of the camp talking about the group's affairs, when Asantean suddenly rushed in from outside on horseback in a panic.
"It's not good! Lord Dibol, Lord Lilith! Little Daniel and the others were, were, kidnapped by the Red Bay pirates!" Asantean rolled off his horse and shouted before he could stand still.
"Wow!" The beautiful Lilith suddenly went crazy and overturned the table on which I laid the map.
"You bastard pirate! Looking for death!'
My fork, this crazy woman said crazy when she was crazy? At the moment, I couldn't care less about her. I quickly pulled Asantean aside and asked her carefully.
The kidnappers of Little Daniel and the others were a group of pirates from the nearby sea, about 300 people. This time, a total of more than 40 people came, kidnapped four people, Daniel Jr., Silivas, Garsilas and Chicobol, and required the knights to redeem their people on Shrimp Island in Red Bay within three days with 600 gold coins. , otherwise we will wait to collect the corpse.
After I listened to Asantean¡¯s report, I immediately asked him to convene everyone to prepare for the meeting. Everyone, including Zigro, must be there.
When Asantean left, I immediately asked Stanton to mount the horse again, and made a special trip to invite the elders of the fishing village to come over. I hoped to learn as much as possible about the pirates.
After a while, everyone arrived, and Stanton also invited an elder from the village back.
Based on the information introduced by the elders, we roughly know the origin of this group of pirates.
The Red Bay Pirates appeared in this area three years ago, and their leader seemed to be a knight named "Sebastian Garr". Yes, I was right, he was indeed a genuine knight.
?? Gall seems to come from a certain family in the Kingdom of Garin, but no one knows why he came here to become a pirate leader.
When this Garr first arrived in Red Bay, he only had one ship and about 30 men, but this guy was particularly capable. In just one year, he successively annexed several groups of nearby pirates, and then gradually expanded to become the largest group in the Red Bay area. pirate, known as Captain Red Bay.
Because Garr has very strict control over his men, the pirates hardly harass people in nearby fishing villages. Instead, they sometimes help fishermen resist some external pirates. It's no wonder that Gal's men can swagger into the fishing village and kidnap little Dennis and the others. Moreover, when Stanton went to invite people, no one else was willing to come. Only this wrinkled old man named "Wes Langley" was willing to follow Stanton. Come.
After learning about Captain Hongwan¡¯s strength, I couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Hey, the Knights currently don¡¯t have a huge sum of 600 gold coins, nor do they have the strength to fight against the pirates. What should they do?
"Everyone, please tell me what you think. We obviously can't raise enough ransom, and it's unrealistic to rob people." I also ran out of ideas for a while. Even if I wanted to sell the golden birdcage, I couldn't find a buyer here. Home. The nearest garrison of the 5th Army is about 10 days away from here.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Just go kill those robbers!" Lilith's words were basically ignored.
Everyone had no idea for a moment, they all sat quietly in their seats thinking, even the resourceful Montetier was at a loss.
"My lords, I have an idea to rescue your friend."
Elder West Langley, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly said.
