Chapter 269 Returning to the Period Before Liberation
The Black Skull turned and ran away, and the other bandits collapsed completely. Even those who were relatively stable at the beginning became panicked at this time. Of course, most people still followed the Black Skull to escape.
The Black Skull turned around and looked again, and his eyes suddenly became fierce: "As long as I can survive, I don't care about anything else." Thinking of this, the Black Skull began to change his escape direction. He entered the woods for a while, and then circled around in the pile of rocks. In just a short while, the people following him could not find the direction of the Black Skull.
Unable to find their own boss, and being surrounded by the wolf-like army, many bandits soon collapsed completely.
"I surrender, I surrender, don't kill me." A bandit knelt on the spot and cried in frustration.
"Don't hold back, these people are not good people, just kill them." Carol shouted to the people around him. The guards, who didn't know whether to hold back, immediately understood what their deputy captain meant.
This time, the purpose was to wipe them out and let them know that Hongshaling is not easy to mess with. Even if they are good people, what can they do? They should be killed when they should be killed. The guard stabbed with the cross sword in his hand and pierced through him.
"You, you dare to kill me, I curse you will never have a good end."
"Humph, if the curse is useful, then what is the use of strength. Besides, is the curse of a mere robber useful?" The guard looked disdainful, threw the robber who had become a corpse, and continued to chase and kill others.
The hunting process was very easy. From the beginning of killing, to the later division of the team to follow, until everything was over, it took less than half an hour. Later, the time wasted was basically looking for some hiding robbers.
When everyone returned to the caravan, the caravan had almost sorted out the goods. Among these goods, it was not really only these weapons. Some artworks brought back by the half-elf before were indeed in it. If there were no such things, how could they deceive the other party? It's just that there are not as many artworks as advertised.
"Have you counted it?" Carol directed a group of people to collect the team.
"It has been counted. This time we killed 436 people, and a few escaped."
Carol didn't care at all: "It doesn't matter if a few people escaped. It's just right for them to publicize this matter. Let them see the determination of our territory, so that they don't always come to trouble us in the future."
The head of the caravan also came over: "Thank you, sir. If you hadn't eliminated these bandits, we don't know how long we would lose in the future. We were always worried every time we came out before."
Carol waved his hand: "No need to do this, we are also following orders. Okay, there is less than a day's journey to your destination. We will send you there first, and then we will go back by ourselves. When you come back, you will have to protect yourself." Carol did not choose to leave immediately.
The head of the caravan looked grateful: "Thank you, sir, we will deal with it ourselves when we come back. You have so many things to do, so you should solve your big things first, and we can walk the rest of the way by ourselves."
"No, it doesn't waste time anyway, we will send you there." Carol stopped the head of the caravan from continuing to speak. He waved his hand and said loudly: "Come, help them, let's hurry up."
At the command, the other guards also stepped forward and began to help the caravan sort out the goods.
On another hillside, several figures secretly showed their heads, but did not rush out directly. "I didn't expect that Hongshaling actually cultivated so many Black Iron masters. How did they do it? This matter must be reported."
"Boss, with so many masters, will we still accept the mission to Hongshaling in the future?"
The leader was Black Spider, who snorted coldly: "If there is an order from above, do you dare not accept it? Besides, their strength is strong, but they have only been cultivated during this period of time. Their combat experience and hiding ability are not as good as ours." Thinking of what happened last time, everyone nodded immediately to show that they understood.
"Okay, don't say more, go back quickly, so many Black Iron warriors are not simple. Even if the above wants to deal with them, it may not be easy. I didn't expect that the half-elf would become a climate."
After speaking, Black Spider took his people and left this place silently.
After a long time, the fleeing Black Skull stopped. Looking at the deserted appearance with no one around him, Black Skull wanted to cry but had no tears. The foundation he had worked hard to accumulate over the years was all gone in one day.
The last time he failed, at least he brought some people with him. Although there are more people now, there is no one left by his side this time. Black Skull was heartbroken and powerless.
"Remas is too dangerous. No, I want to take this opportunity to leave Remas. Those people must not know that I am still alive, and they have to hide their names. Yes, I still have strength now. I am a Black Iron Warrior. I will definitely make a comeback." Thinking of this, Black Skull's eyes lit up, carefully looked around, and continued on his way stealthily.
"Damn Farah, my strength is the reward for the danger you have brought me for so long."
Only the next day, the news that the Black Skull Bandit Group was uprooted spread throughout the surrounding territories. There may be some people left, but they are all logistics personnel with poor combat effectiveness.
After most of them died, the remaining people were completely disbanded immediately. Looking at the report in his hand, Farah slammed the table fiercely. "Damn Hongshaling, how could there be so many Black Iron Warriors? It must be fake. These damn people exaggerated the enemy's strength in order to evade responsibility, and this time they are so bad."
"Sir, what should we do? Do we still need to form a bandit group? The people above are watching us."
Fara thought about it, shook his head and said, "Not for the time being, Hongshaling may have known that we are involved in this matter. If it happens again, we can't explain it clearly if we are discovered."
After all, the means in secret are not presentable. Although the noble council knows about it, as long as no one has evidence, nothing will happen. But once someone has evidence, the consequences will be serious.
At the least, his territory will be confiscated, and at the worst, he will even be expelled from the country. The king cannot deprive the status of the nobles, but expulsion is no problem. Nobles like Farah who have no foundation and strength will not be able to get along well once they are expelled.
