Chapter 38 Sudden Attack

Richard isolated the sick slaves and used minor injury treatment on the seriously ill every day.

Because there were too many sick people, Richard could only try his best to treat the young, strong and more hopeful ones.

The treatment can pry open the mysterious magic factor, increase the vitality of the patient, and suppress the attack of the plague virus.

As long as they are treated by the treatment, the strong sick slaves can basically survive and save their lives.

In order to save one more person, Richard even risked exhaustion of mental power, headache and coma, and cast the minor injury treatment spell six times a day.

In more than a month, about a thousand sick slaves were bought by Richard.

More than 300 of these slaves died, more than 200 were cured by Richard, and the remaining 500 slaves basically recovered by their own immunity.

Including the families of the sick slaves, Richard had about 2,000 slaves.

Entering the late February of 3253 in the morning light, the plague had slowly ended.

The slave market camp was also unblocked, and the army on the mission was also preparing to return to the capital.

After deciding to buy the sick slaves, Richard wrote a letter to his father William, entrusting his uncle Soros to take them away.

After Soros returned to Black River Fort, he handed the slaves to Mrs. Ola and Powell for placement, and then handed the letter to William.

After reading the letter, William went to the Legion Department to ask for a long vacation, recruited some capable people, and quietly left Black River Fort with the Soros Mercenary Group and rushed to the capital.

When William and Soros had already contacted Richard. With his own people to protect him, Richard immediately decided to leave Nolan and return to his fiefdom.

After Richard left with a large number of slaves, more than a dozen slave traders gathered secretly to discuss taking action against Richard.

"Richard left today. Without the protection of the garrison, when can we take action?"

"Really? Richard is a hereditary noble. It will be very troublesome for us to kill the noble."

"This kid is just a newly promoted border noble. He has no connections in the capital. As long as we clean up the mess, no one will pursue it. Even if there are some troubles in the future, we can easily suppress this matter with the power behind us by taking out some gold coins."

"Although this kid is young and can release a ring of magic, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with him."

"I asked someone to look at the canonization documents of the Harland family. Richard is only seventeen years old and his professional level should not be high. Even if he is a spellcaster, our more than a dozen chambers of commerce can dispatch hundreds of professionals at a time. Not to mention Richard, even if the Harland family is added together, they are no match at all."

"This kid is on guard against us. Some new faces have come to the camp in recent days. They should have hired mercenaries for protection. . "

"They are just mercenaries, they work for whoever pays them. As long as we pay more, the mercenaries will probably turn against us on the spot. Besides, with the power in our hands, would we be afraid of a few mercenaries?"

"McGee is right. The number of slaves in Richard's hands has exceeded 2,000. Even if more than half of them are old and weak, the value is more than 10,000 gold coins. I am tempted by such a huge fortune. Even if you don't do it, McGee and I will join forces to do it."

"Qiao Sen is right. No matter what decision you make, our two families have decided to join forces. Byers, you have the strongest power in the camp. What do you plan to do?"

"The nobles in the northern border are all our long-term customers. Murdering nobles will bring shame to the honor of the Fenda family. I don't plan to intervene in this matter. But please rest assured, I swear on the honor of the Fenda family that today's events will never be leaked from my mouth."

Byers said this, and some hesitant slave traders immediately backed down.

Murdering nobles is a very serious crime. Once exposed, it will implicate the nobles who support the Chamber of Commerce behind the scenes.

Many slave traders in the camp had little authority, and they dared not make their own decisions on such a big matter.

McGee and Qiaosen looked at each other. Both of them were illegitimate children of nobles. Although they were both slave traders, they had much more authority than their peers.

The two of them, together with three other slave traders, gathered more than 300 people, quietly left the camp, and followed Richard's team.

This group of people, led by McGee and Qiaosen, had more than ten professionals. Although their equipment was average, their combat effectiveness was not weak.

McGee and Qiaosen were very decisive and planned to take action before Richard left the sparsely populated mountainous area.

Taking advantage of the late night, McGee mobilized the elite, said a few words to boost morale, and immediately launched an attack on the camp.

Qiaosen took the soldiers with weaker combat effectiveness and prepared to capture slaves.

"Line up!"

"Raise your shields!"

McGee carefully commanded more than a hundred soldiers, issuing orders one after another.

He had just approached the sentry when two arrows shot at him.

The bowstring made a crisp sound, and the arrow exploded in the sky with a loud sound of breaking through the air.

In the blink of an eye, two people fell beside McGee.

These two people were actually professionals, and they died so easily under the arrow attack.

McGee's face showed a trace of astonishment, and then gradually turned into a kind of shock.

He never expected that there were two archers hidden in the camp.

In the dark night, with only the faint moonlight, he could accurately shoot and kill professionals.

Such archers are very rare even in the capital. As long as you join the army, you will at least have the rank of captain and the position of squadron leader.

Seeing that the sneak attack had been exposed, McGee roared, and the muscles all over his body began to swell, and he immediately used the power violent spell.

Although McGee was just an illegitimate child, he had a very good blood talent.

His father, Baron Joseph, had intended to train him to be an officer, but McGee got drunk and beat his comrade to death.

Although he saved his life by relying on the influence of the baron, he also lost his future and could not develop in the army.

After this incident, McGee could only become an infamous slave trader, doing dirty work for the Joseph family and becoming a killer hidden in the dark.

McGee was just 30 years old, and he was already a fourth-level knight. Relying on the power in his blood, he was more difficult to deal with than a fifth-level professional.

After using the spell of power rage, McGee's strength increased by about five points.

In an instant, McGee's strength exceeded 20 points.

He ran a few steps, crossed a distance of 100 meters in just five or six seconds, and rushed to the entrance of the camp.

Seeing McGee rushing over, William jumped up with his heavy sword and slashed at McGee fiercely.

William was already a sixth-level professional, and his own talent was also very outstanding. He was a natural warrior. His strength reached 19 points, enough to compete with McGee, and his other physical attributes were even better than McGee's.

William had been in the army for many years, and was proficient in the basic swordsmanship of the Grant Kingdom. He also learned many skills such as the Raven Swordsmanship and the Northern Legion Shield Wall.

His abilities almost completely suppressed McGee.

The two had just fought, and Richard knew that the enemy was no match for William.
