Wings of Destruction
Chapter 54
Due to the terrain, Gladwell had to get off his horse and walk instead.
"Sir, do you think those robbers will cheat us? How can this place where birds don''t shit be the robber''s nest?"
"Keep your voice down and concentrate on looking around."
After searching for a long time, Gladwell began to want to give up the search.
"Let''s drink some water and have a rest," Gladwell said to the hired young people
At the same time, Gladwell took out a leather water bag and took a few drinks.
"My Lord, I found something," Tony ran over and whispered
"What?"
"It''s a pile of burnt wood."
"It seems that this may really be the hiding place of the robbers. Everyone is ready to fight." after seeing the firewood pile, Gladwell put away the leather water bag
The team of nearly 20 people began to search forward again.
In this wooded place, Gladwell finally found the robber''s hiding place.
The robbers built some defense measures with wood and relied on some natural caves to resist the encirclement and suppression army.
But Gladwell was not a regular army. He was entrusted to come here.
Gladwell called the young man with the bow and arrow in his hand to ambush, and the rest continued to follow Gladwell.
Gladwell took a hunting bow and aimed at one of the robber sentinels who had not yet noticed them.
Whew, an arrow hit the robber sentry in the leg. The robber sentry gave a cry of pain and shouted to the other robbers.
"No, we''re exposed," Tony said
Without saying a word, Gladwell rushed to the robber with more than a dozen young people.
"Whew, whew, whew"
Some robbers hiding in the dark shot down several young people with bows and arrows, and Gladwell almost got shot.
Meanwhile, in the cave hall where robber leader holf lives. The tall bald man was making trouble with several young women. At this passionate moment, a robber ran in panic.
Seeing the ecstatic scene in front of him, the robber paused.
"Report, a group of people are attacking our camp," the robber truthfully reported
Holf looked at the robber, and his scarred face was a little more cruel.
"Poof"
Holf took the axe beside him and cut off the robber''s head with one axe. Several captured girls screamed at the bloody scene.
"If you dare to disturb my good deeds, you will end up dead."
Holf didn''t wipe the blood on his body. He put on his clothes and armor. Carrying his axe, he went out of the hall.
When he saw Gladwell struggling to kill the robbers, Hoff shouted.
"It''s you again, boy. Die for me!" said holf. He killed the young man who wanted to attack him with an axe.
"Come on, you bastards! See how I chop you to death." howled Hoff, waving his axe
Grawell found the crazy holf, but there were not many young people around him at this time.
"My Lord, there are only three of us left."
"Tell him to go back and go back to the original place," Gladwell said to Tony as he blocked it with his long sword.
Grawell retreated with a few remaining people, followed by Hoff and more than a dozen tough robbers.
"It''s now." grawell finally took holf''s men to the archers who had been ambushed in advance. Although these archers in Gladwell are poorly trained and poorly equipped.
But unexpectedly, holf suffered some losses.
Facing the flying arrow, Hoff took an arrow in his leg. The rest of the robbers were killed by arrows.
For a moment, the morale of Gladwell increased greatly. Gladwell waved his long sword and led his men and horses back. Looking at the threatening Gladwell and them, holf''s psychological defense collapsed.
Finally, in addition to fighting desperately, many robbers chose to surrender. The rest who did not surrender could only become the ghost under Gladwell''s sword.
"Where''s holf?" grawell asked Tony next to him
"I don''t know. It disappeared during the scuffle just now."
"Find him, be sure to find him," said Gladwell firmly
In this way, except for leaving a few people to guard the prisoners, the rest followed grawell to find Hoff.
"He was wounded by an arrow in his leg. If he can''t run far, see if there is blood on the ground." Gladwell told his men
At this time, holf, hiding in the gully, looked at the man looking for him. Holf tried to make himself remember the characteristics of today''s offenders. He swore in his heart that he would die if he didn''t avenge it. At last he remembered the shadow on the flag brought by Gladwell.
"Black eagle, you will surrender to my feet one day!"
Holf quietly fled deeper into the forest
Gladwell and his men searched for a long time, but they didn''t find holf, so they had to give up.
Returning to the robber''s nest, Gladwell took people into the cave where Hoff lived. The living conditions in the cave are complete, even the lighting and ventilation are very good. Grawell saw the young women in rags on holf''s bed. The women trembled when they saw grawell. Gladwell found some clean clothes and asked them to change. The women put on their doubts, and then they believed that Gladwell was a good man.
"Later you follow my people, we will send you back to your home."
The women were so excited that they couldn''t speak. Maybe they didn''t expect to be able to return home to reunite with their families in this life.
Glawell then led the crowd to the depths of the cave. He found several people locked together in a dark place.
"Which of you is Salim''s brother?"
A young man in a ragged cotton gown looked very excited
"I, I am."
Gladwell ordered the prison door to be broken open and the people inside to be released.
"Come with me and I''ll take you to your brother."
Gladwell asked the origin of the other people who were locked up. It turned out that they were all nearby businessmen and farmers. Bound to the mountain, the robbers demanded ransom from their families.
Gladwell ordered his men to load all valuable items into the carriage and take them away. And the captured weapons and armor. As for the girls and other hostages, Gladwell let them go home.
Grawell and his team set out for port prowler with holf''s brother.
After walking for two days and nights, a group of people finally returned to Pulin port. Gladwell and Tony went to the fire bar, the place they had made an appointment with Salim.
At this time, the wharf was still so prosperous, the craftsmen had a booming business, and the market was bustling. There are also some immigrants from other places who seem to want to take a chance here.
Entering the bar, grawell saw all kinds of people.
There are strippers dancing, there are notorious robbers nearby, there are mercenary leaders who are not afraid of death, and some slave traders who seek huge profits.
In short, there are many people in the bar. A little carelessness will lead to a fight.
Grawell saw a middle-aged man sitting alone drinking muggy wine in the corner of the bar.
Yes, this man is Salim.
