Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Hearing this, Mayor Spike wiped his mouth.

His expression changed and he began to speak seriously.

"The village of Sitano has been plagued by bandits recently, and a group of bandits are stationed near the village."

"They often attack cattle pens at night and kidnap villagers, especially those who herd cattle, and they suffer terribly."

"Those gangsters also disguised themselves as traveling businessmen and sneaked into the village to inquire around. This put everyone in the village who was raising cattle in danger."

"Especially the big landowner in the village, Master Mars, he suffered the most heavy losses."

When Village Chief Polite said this, he suddenly lowered his voice and leaned into Zong Shen's ear.

"Even Mr. Mars' most beloved daughter was kidnapped last night."

"The number of our militia and village guards is too small to take the initiative, and the reinforcements from Bangcheng are beyond our reach. It takes two days to go back and forth..."

"So, we would like to ask you to eliminate these gangsters."

"Those gangsters are camped forty miles south of the village."

Zong Shen nodded, suddenly enlightened.

No wonder the sloppy villager behaved so strangely when he asked him if he raised cattle. These gangsters had made all the cattle-raising villagers in the whole village a little nervous.

For fear of becoming the next target of robbery.

At this time, detailed instructions for the task finally appeared.

[Mission: Suppress the bandits]

[Requirement: Completely annihilate the gangsters who recently ravaged Sitano Village, and obtain their left ears as mission credentials]

[Reward: 1,000 mainland general dinars, 200 reputation points, friendship in Citano Village]

(I suggest you go to Mr. Mars’ house again, he also needs your help)

The mission had been taken over, Zong Shen and his soldiers stood up decisively.

"Dear Chief Spike, please take care of all this on me."

"I'm going to go find Master Mars now and see if he needs my help."

The old village chief also stood up and held his hand.

"Brave lord, I believe you will be able to destroy the bandits and gain the friendship of Citano Village."

"I have already informed Mr. Mars, I believe he will be here soon."

As soon as the old village chief finished speaking, the saloon door of the tavern was violently knocked open.

A middle-aged man with a big belly and a robe of fine fabric walked in quickly.

He walked to the village chief with purpose.

He looked at the village chief and then at Zong Shen.

"Is this the foreign lord?"

His face turned red with excitement.

Zong Shen also looked at him silently.

As expected of the landlord class, he has a round figure, but if he doesn't have a big belly, he doesn't deserve to be called a master.

"Exactly, Mr. Mars, the village has entrusted this man with the responsibility of exterminating the bandits."

The old village chief explained.

At this time, Master Mars opened his eyes, excitedly held Zong Shen's hand, and bowed slightly.

"Sir, please rescue my little daughter. My poor child is only 16 years old!"

"I will reward you handsomely!"

As a landowner, Mars can accurately grasp the key points.

[Village of Sitano Village: Mars, I would like to send you a mission invitation]

【accept】

【reject】

Sure enough, this was a matryoshka-style double mission. These gangsters had harmed many villagers. If Zong Shen had the patience to walk around the village, he might be able to receive more missions.

However, time is tight, so it’s better to get straight to the point.

Zong Shen chose [Accept].

He said righteously to Mr. Mars.

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring your daughter back safely!"

Mars nodded excitedly, with tears in his eyes.

[Mission: Save Mariel]

[Requirement: Rescue Mariel from the gangsters and escort her safely to Mars]

[Rewards: 1,500 continental general dinars, 100 reputation points, Avalon grassland cattle × 10, small ranch construction map × 1, friendship from Master Mars]

He is indeed a landowner, but he is very wealthy and his remuneration is 500 dinars more than that of the village chief.

The two tasks add up to 2,500 mainland dinars, which is equivalent to ten years' salary of a maid. It is indeed a considerable fortune.

The common dinar on the mainland can be used to trade with indigenous forces and purchase special products and supplies, which is of great use.

"Let's go, the work is coming."

Zong Shen greeted, and everyone stood up and followed Zong Shen out of the tavern.

They must first return to the outside of the village, mount their respective mounts, and then rush to the bandit camp forty miles south of the village.

Mayor Spike and Mr. Mars followed them all the way and sent everyone to the entrance of the village.

When they saw Zong Shen's mount, the blood-toothed wild boar Bajie, they all showed shocked expressions.

I am even more confident that they can destroy the gangsters.

They watched Zong Shen and others leave.

"Old Spich, among those gangsters is Carlisle, the ruthless gangster known as Bosbon's Razor. Can they really deal with him?"

Mars asked worriedly.

The old village chief smiled and said nothing.

Finally, seeing that Mars looked anxious, he explained slowly.

"That one is not simple. The soldiers around him are all good at fighting. Even Bosbon's light infantry is no match for them."

The old village chief had a vicious vision and was extremely confident in his own judgment and Zong Shen's strength.

At this time, Zong Shen was already riding Bajie, rushing towards the south of the village at a steady speed.

Those bandits lay dormant during the day and went out to plunder at night.

After half an hour, everyone stopped.

There is a forest not far away, and there is a camp right next to the forest.

The scale of this camp is not small, much larger than the camp of rogue bandits that Zong Shen eliminated a few days ago.

Two rows of tents were set up in the camp, as well as a large circular tent.

Both in terms of scale and order, it is much larger than the camp of the bandits.

Among them, outside the camp, there were twenty or thirty prairie cattle and more than ten prairie sheep tied up. Two bandits were responsible for grazing, and they didn't look as crazy as the bandits.

The most interesting thing is that Zong Shen also discovered a dilapidated lord's courtyard not far from the camp...

Outside the courtyard there are ruins of destroyed buildings.

Apparently this lord encountered bandits camping here not long after the initial construction.

Twenty or thirty gangsters surrounded the small courtyard. A lord in the small courtyard was lying on the wall, confronting the gangsters from a distance.

Among the gangsters, there was a two-meter-tall bald man with a cleaver, sitting aside with his legs crossed.

The ground was filled with shot crossbow bolts.

If it weren't for the novice protection period, this guy would have been cut into a carrot by the gangsters.

Zong Shen couldn't help but smile.

This guy's luck is incredible.

The African little black face must be him.

At the beginning, the door was blocked by gangsters. No matter how you look at it, you are an unlucky guy.
