Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the second day after the meeting to discuss follow-up actions, more than 300 mercenaries were divided into three groups, leaving Red Pine Fort and heading south.  To the south of Turbo's hinterland is a plain, and Red Pine Castle is like the entrance to a plain, connected to the spider web of road traffic on the plain, and each of the cities is similar to the nodes on the spider web.  After leaving Red Pine Fort, the three teams entered the plains in a fan-shaped route, but they still maintained contact with each other to ensure that the news could be delivered as soon as possible, and at the same time, they could adjust the relationship between the three teams at all times.  The distance ensures that they can meet as soon as possible within one day.  After the operation began, the seven mercenary group leaders, as well as the private soldier captain Blair, began to use their connections in Turbo's hinterland to investigate separately and cast nets everywhere in order to find the murderer as soon as possible.  Traces of madness.  Nearly five days later, the news of the murderous maniac¡¯s reappearance finally came. The first team to learn the news were the three mercenary groups on the side.  However, the next change in the situation was unexpected. This team deliberately delayed for half a day before sending out scouts to deliver the news to the other two teams, and they rushed to the location where the murderer appeared as soon as possible.  .  This made other people feel extremely indignant. After all, when they were at Red Pine Fort, the three teams had already discussed it. Once they discovered the people, they would immediately notify the other two teams and at the same time, they had to stand still and wait for the arrival of the other two teams. More than three hundred people  Only when the mercenaries gather together can they exert their greatest strength. If they are scattered, they will only be defeated one by one by the murderer looking for opportunities.  The purpose of this team is very obvious, which is to use the power of three mercenary groups to eat alone before other mercenary groups arrive. As long as they kill the murderer without the intervention of other mercenary groups, then five  Hundreds of bounties can be pocketed.  "Neal and Arman, these two idiots, that murderer has obviously entered the gate of rank. How can their three mercenary groups alone be able to take it?" Lidia slashed a man on the roadside with a fierce sword.  He chopped off a small tree, his face flushed with anger, "They are indirectly sabotaging the plan. If the murderer escapes this time, I don't know when he will be found next time. Those two damn bastards  , and Rubin, who is also a pig brain," "Lidya's anger comes not only from the unauthorized actions of the three mercenary groups, but also from various other reasons, the most pressing of which is the cost. "They this time  Seven mercenary groups were dispatched to encircle and suppress the murderous maniac, and the cost in the operation was very huge. Hundreds of people were killed every day, which was a huge expense for the mercenary group after the reward was successfully entrusted.  Obtain money from the bounty to compensate, and the Thorn Flower Mercenary Group like her is purely for fame, but whether it succeeds or not, a large amount of money will inevitably be lost. In this case, Lidia naturally is.  It is hoped that the murderer will be solved as soon as possible. If the seven mercenary groups all act according to the plan discussed in Red Pine Castle, then the success rate of killing the murderer is not low. But now the other three mercenary groups are doing it without authorization.  Action, this power is too weak for the murderer who enters the level gate. If he continues to escape, then Lidia will probably fall into a situation of no better or no worse - continuing to pursue will only increase the cost.  , and she was unwilling to give up. The expenses she had spent in the previous period were almost in vain. Lidia cursed and turned her eyes to Blair, the private soldier captain who was not far away. Blair still looked calm.  , even when he learned that the three mercenary groups were acting without authorization, his face showed almost no expression. He just ordered his men to catch up as soon as possible. "Does this guy not care about this matter at all?  " Lidia said harshly. She had long disliked this guy named Blair. Whether this sentence was intentional or unintentional, it directly reached Erwin's ears next to him. He originally planned to pretend not to hear it.  Yes, but the next moment Lidia turned her head and looked at him with great momentum: "Hey, I'm talking to you, do you hear me?  " Erwin reached out and patted the restless black-maned horse under his crotch. At the same time, he had a new understanding of the leader of the Thorn Flower Mercenary Group next to him - a model of big chest and no brains. But he was also a straightforward person.  Go straight to a woman whose emotions and emotions are all expressed on her face. It¡¯s not difficult to get along with her after getting to know her. ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t care at all. In this situation, what¡¯s the use of not caring?  Do you have emotions written all over your face like you do?  Erwin raised his head and his eyes also fell forward on Blair, "For him, murderer is the main goal, no matter what the plan we discussed in Red Pine Castle, or the three mercenary groups  Whether he acted without permission or not, as long as he could kill the murderer, everything was within his tolerance.  If those three"If the mercenary group can really succeed in front of us, then Blair probably won't blame them, but will hand over the reward to them very easily."  " "That's why I hate people like this, who do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.  "Lidya's disgust was clearly written on her face. "Oh?  Erwin turned to look at her, "It's strange that this sentence can be said by a person who wants to torture two innocent travelers in order to find out the traces of a murderer."  " Lidia was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered the first time she met Erwin, and how she wanted to arrest him and Susan. An unnatural blush immediately appeared on her face, and she glared at Erwin fiercely.  One glance: ¡°You¡¯re just as annoying.  " Erwin shrugged. This woman also often showed her dissatisfaction with him, so he was already used to it. " No more nonsense, let's rush there as soon as possible.  One day is enough for a lot of things to happen. Although I admit that the three mercenary groups have a lot of people, they are most likely to be destroyed by the murderous group. After all, the power gap between the two is too big.  " Lidia was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a heavy face. "The place where the murderer appeared was a small town called Cypress River, where two villages were massacred overnight. Some of the surviving villagers saw  I saw a man in a black cloak and gray armor riding a horse in the direction of Bluestone City. At Arman's instigation, the leaders of the other two mercenary groups delayed for half a day to notify the others. At the same time, the three mercenaries were informed.  The regiment quickly changed direction and spent almost half a day arriving at Cypress River, and then rushed to Qingshi City overnight. At the same time, they sent more than a dozen mercenaries to act as scouts along the way to investigate. Finally, at dawn in the morning, they found the man who had massacred Cypress.  The murderers from the two villages in the He River did indeed enter Qingshi City. The three mercenary groups rushed to Qingshi City. When the midday sun hung high in the sky, the three mercenary groups had already arrived at the gate of Qingshi City.  At the same time, the other two groups of four mercenaries had converged. Because the news was not delivered in time, they did not know that the target had moved to Qingshi City, so they continued to rush towards the Cypress River.  The total number of mercenaries in the corps was more than 120. The arrival of this group of people made Qingshi City nervous. Especially the action of three mercenary groups blocking the front and rear city gates made Qingshi City obviously  I became nervous. The scale and area of ??Qingshi City are smaller than those of Red Pine Fort. The population living in the city all year round is only about two thousand. The business is only average and cannot be called prosperous. At the same time, the armed forces guarding Qingshi City are  The strength is only a militia group of more than fifty people. Facing the large and heavily armed mercenary group, the momentum is obviously lower. If it were not for the fear of offending the businessman, maybe the first of the three mercenary groups would appear.  At that time, the commander of the militia regiment ordered the city gate to be closed. However, soon the leaders of the three mercenary regiments entered Qingshi City directly and asked to meet with the militia commander and city owner of Qingshi City, and then received the consent.  The city lord is a small nobleman with a knighthood. He has a small territory and manor outside the city, and Bluestone City is also under his jurisdiction. However, it seems that because of the young age of the hereditary knighthood, he is currently only twenty.  The city lord, who was in his early years, was still unable to show the arrogance and style of a nobleman. In front of the three mercenary group leaders, his aura was obviously lowered. "What on earth do you come to Qingshi City for?  Why should the city gate be blocked?  "The young city lord asked weakly to the three mercenary group leaders in front of him. "Originally, when civilians see nobles with knighthoods, they need to bow to greet them, but the three group leaders obviously skipped this bow.  The young city lord had nothing to do with them. After all, these three guys did not belong to Qingshi City, and although mercenaries were not a glamorous and lowly profession, they were not small in scale.  The leader of the mercenary group still has a bit of arrogance. The most important thing is that the militia group is not up to par. If it is replaced by the army, even if there are only thirty or fifty people, if the three mercenary groups dare to block the city gate.  They will be defeated in no time. ¡°Dear City Lord, we have no choice but to do this. I hope you can forgive us.  ¡± Arman bowed his head slightly to the young city lord, and then told them about their pursuit of the murderer. When he said that the extremely vicious murderer had entered the Bluestone City, the city lord and the militia chief behind him stood up.  People's faces have begun to turn pale. "This okay, we will try our best to cooperate with you, but the safety of those businessmen must be guaranteed. If they want to leave, you must not offend them.  ¡± The geographical location of Qingshi City is not very good, and it is relatively far away from the main transportation routes in the hinterland of Turbo, so it is important to do business here, as well as the local area.There are not many merchants in the city, and Qingshi City's rudimentary commercial economy is also supported by these merchants.  The city lord does not dare to offend these businessmen, otherwise his Bluestone City may not be able to complete the tax next year, but at the same time, he does not dare to let a vicious murderer wander around in the Bluestone City. If the other party kills casually in the Bluestone City, even if the merchants are safe and sound  , I¡¯m afraid it will be gone soon.  Therefore, even if the city lord is extremely dissatisfied with these three mercenary groups, he has to rely on their help now, at least to drive the murderer out.  "This Clark, you will help these three captains to deal with the murderers. Remember, do not alert those businessmen." The city lord called to the militia commander who was following him, then leaned close to him and whispered in his ear.  He said in a loud voice, "If the murderer and this group of mercenaries have left Qingshi City, then just close the city gate and don't let them in again. Do you understand?" The militia leader nodded quickly, and the city owner patted him.  Shoulder, then left here and returned to his mansion, gathered dozens of his private guards, left Qingshi City directly, and ran to his manor outside the city to hide.  The cooperation of the young city lord can be regarded as a smooth step for the three mercenary groups. If it were replaced by those older and more mature nobles, I am afraid it would not be as simple as it is now.  However, the success of the first step also gave the three regiment leaders full confidence. Their three mercenary regiments had more than one hundred mercenaries. The manpower was not large to begin with, but it was different when the militia regiment of Qingshi City was added.  , and these militiamen are well aware of the situation in Qingshi City. With their cooperation, it will not be difficult to find the murderer hiding in Qingshi City.  Looking at the three complacent mercenary leaders, the militia leader felt resentful and disdainful. He probably blamed them for chasing the murderer to Qingshi City. This was equivalent to finding a huge killer for him.  Trouble, and the matter of encircling and suppressing the murderer at the same time was of no merit or benefit to him.  However, because of the city lord¡¯s instructions, he still had to try his best to cooperate with these three guys.  "So three gentlemen, what are you going to do? Should you lift the blockade of the city gate first? I have received complaints from many businessmen. They were stopped by your men when they wanted to leave the city. What will happen to them?  The reputation of our Qingshi City has been seriously affected." The officer frowned and tried to make his expression and tone more serious.  The three captains were not arrogant enough to ignore the militia leader. They discussed for a while. Neil, the leader of the Fierce Wolf Mercenary Group, wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Arman.  Although their main goal is to encircle and suppress the murderer, they cannot go too far. If they offend the leader of the militia and cause damage to the reputation of Qingshi City, the young city lord will really get angry, and the three of them will  Even a mercenary group can't bear it.  "Let's do this, Mr. Clark, let your soldiers identify them at the city gate. Familiar merchants can go out, but no one else is allowed to continue to enter the city. This is also for the good of your Bluestone City. During the encirclement and suppression of killings,  When we get mad, a fight will definitely break out, and we won't be happy to see it affect anyone." After discussing for a while, the three group leaders came up with a solution.  The leader of the militia group was frightened by the possible fighting. Remembering that if Qingshi City turned into chaos, he would definitely be skinned and cramped by the city lord. He could only agree with a pale face and hurriedly ran to arrange for the merchants to leave the city.  "Hey, the leader of this militia group is just like a soft-footed shrimp. I don't know how he got into this position." Neil laughed, but was immediately stopped by Arman.  "Neil, pay attention to your civilian status. What he said just now has the right and the crime to hang you." Neil snorted and closed his mouth. Among the three of them, Arman's  The Black Rock Mercenary Group is the strongest, and Arman's experience and brains are among the best among the mercenary group leaders. Neil can only endure his anger with him.  "Okay, you two, we have no time to waste. Don't forget that there are others coming behind us. We have to make sure to find the devil before them and kill him." "I'm a little worried. Let's do this.  "Won't Blair be angry?" Another mercenary group leader whispered.  "Don't worry, don't forget what his only purpose is. As long as we can succeed, he won't say a word more. Instead, he will praise our actions. I hope that when the time comes, this guy will pay the bounty.  Have fun." Arman comforted his two collaborators, then found a table and spread out a simplified map of Bluestone City that he took from the militia leader.  "You two, let's find a way first to find that guy out." The news that the front and rear city gates were blocked quickly spread throughout Qingshi City, but with the comfort of the militiamen, ordinary people  People did not show upSuch a commotion was probably just a matter of curiosity and speculation about the reason for blocking the city gate, and there was a lot of discussion everywhere.  However, merchants with high status in remote towns are extremely dissatisfied. They have many reasons to enter and exit the city gate, but the people blocking the city gate are not the militiamen who usually respect the merchants, but a group of people.  A group of vulgar mercenaries.  Many businessmen who wanted to leave the city were driven back mercilessly. After threats and intimidation had no effect at all, these businessmen had no choice but to approach the militia.  When the leader of the militia group first appeared, he was almost spitted to death by the businessmen. He quickly apologized and then sent them all out of the city.  As for the leaders of the three mercenary groups who said that they needed to prevent murderers from taking the opportunity to escape from Qingshi City, the leader of the militia group was eager for him to do this.  "As long as the murderer leaves Qingshi City, this group of mercenaries will have no excuse to continue to block the city gate. They must chase after them, and when the time comes, they will not be able to come in again."  The actions of the mercenaries to block the city gates also made many businessmen and wealthy people in Qingshi City realize that the situation was not good. Many people were inquiring about the situation, but some people who had the opportunity had begun to leave this small town one after another.
