From the pure blood dragon clan, I started to become a human being

Chapter 97 Lesu
There is a mountain range two hundred miles to the west of Tius Town, and one of the main roads from Berkshire City to the seaside is at the foot of the mountain. Every year, many caravans travel between both sides for trade. As long as a roadblock is set up, And if you grasp the right balance, the income will be very considerable.

Le Su was sitting on the eaves of the cottage overlooking the surroundings. He was the leader of the thieves and had to deal with many things every day. In fact, he didn't sleep at all last night. With the coming of winter, the problem of lack of food and clothing was quite serious.

Le Su actually doesn't care much about the life and death of the thieves, but these guys will definitely make things difficult for him before they die. Simple brains will make the thieves think that everything is the leader's fault. By then, the so-called loyalty and usual respect will be gone. Worth it.

"But I really don't want to give up." Lesu sighed as he lay on the eaves. He knew that he liked power and could not extricate himself. His life in the past 20 years made him clearly realize that only by driving more people can he survive better. .

Unfortunately, this year suffered a major setback. The internal affairs officer of the Prefecture refused the bribe at the end of the year on the grounds that there was a serious shortage of materials such as cloth and ordnance and they could not be traded.

And there is not enough food to buy. Even if there is no shortage of money in the village, the food of various small chambers of commerce has long been bought by the prefecture and nobles. The large chambers of commerce do have stocks, but they are not afraid of the threat of thieves and take advantage of the shortage of food. , the price has been raised to an incredible level.

"It's not about fighting."

LeSu suddenly sat up. The only thing that could make the internal affairs officer put away his ugly face was power. Now this power requires cloth, ordnance, and food. There is no other reliable option except war.

"It seems that the foreign people are heading south soon. The governor is preparing for an expedition."

Insufficient intelligence allowed Lesu to make this judgment. He was not optimistic about the prefect, and only hoped that after his death, his successor would still be a bastard.

While thinking, the sleepiness of a sleepless night came over him. Lesu lay down again and closed his eyes. With his knight-level body, it was no problem to sleep outside.

At some point, thick smoke billows from the mountains and fires begin to burn, with dry air and fallen leaves spreading across the ground allowing the fires to spread quickly.

Ten minutes later, someone came to report.

"Chief, there's a fire on the mountain!"

Lesu woke up to observe for a week, and then gave the person a dull look. It was just in time. If it was later, everyone would not leave.

"Notify everyone to pack up and go to the main stronghold. We can no longer keep this temporary structure."

There is a water source near the main village, so there is no fear of fire, but the location is too deep. In order not to miss the opportunity to plunder more property, he deliberately moved to the main road near the foot of the mountain. Although it was dangerous, he was almost starving to death, and no one could no way.

More than [-] thieves moved their positions, but no one took it seriously. Fires caused by hunters eating in the wild are very common, especially in winter when they need to keep warm.

"Why is this fire like an encirclement?"

Lesu frowned. Soon, he knew that there was no need to guess. The dense forest ahead was cut down in pieces. Thousands of soldiers were already lined up. The soldiers in the frontmost rows even wore leather armor.

Lesu looked up and saw that the young man riding a horse in the battle formation was very handsome, but his eyes were extremely cold, like gems exuding cold air, which could not be touched at all.

Seizing the flaw and burning the mountain to attack the enemy is not a strategy. It is more likely that the opponent wants to have a face-to-face collision.

Le Su found that many people in the enemy camp had their legs shaking, and he immediately felt confident. If it was training troops, then he still had a chance.

"Come with me!"

The battle started in an instant without hesitation, the enemy advanced step by step, spears were crossed, sabers were hovering, and arrows were fired, everything was in an orderly manner.

After more than 30 people were killed by arrows, the two sides fought hand-to-hand. Lesu jumped and slashed into the enemy formation. The situation was exactly as he had guessed. After the close combat started, the momentum reversed instantly.
With one slash, the knight-level power broke through the leather armor and flew backwards with the enemy's corpse, knocking down seven or eight people.

Lesu wanted to cut again, but a black flute held his blade firmly.

The person who came was a blond boy with lifeless eyes, but he was extremely powerful and was at the level of a knight.

The two were in a stalemate, and the original situation was gradually being restored. With the advantages of numbers and equipment, the death toll of the thieves increased rapidly.Nearly half an hour later, a noble young man in hunting attire shouted: Surrender without killing, and the thieves' weapons gradually fell to the ground.

Lesu covered the two wounds on his shoulder. The blond boy's black flute was extremely hard. On the contrary, his saber had been broken. If he continued to hit him, he might really die.

"We surrender!"

Then enter the boring bundling and statistics section.

……

Temporary camp at the foot of the mountain.

"The direct line suffered 47 casualties, and the Rennes army suffered 143 casualties, totaling 190." Will Hui reported.

"Where is the thief?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"No more than 200 people. In addition, we found 300 gold coins worth of property in two cottages and on the thieves."

"The person with the greatest military merit will be promoted to captain. Those who decapitate the enemy will be rewarded with a silver coin. If they are in the Rennes Army, they will be restored to free civilian status. Generally speaking, the vacancies will be filled in order of military merit. Those who are seriously injured will be sent to the Baron for treatment. You can go there. Along the way, I will distribute the pension to my relatives, and call the bandit leader and the new captain over later."

"clear."

Ren stood aside in rare silence. The troops suffered so many casualties and the opponents were just ordinary bandits. This hit him hard. Now there are only more than 900 troops left.

Jiang Yuan said calmly: "Based on the results, your performance is not as good as Will's. There are too many people out of touch in the battle formation. Of course, this is also related to the quality of the troops. Pay attention next time. I will supplement it for you when we get to Berkshire."

"Understood." Ren replied.

Not long after, the new captain escorted the tied Lesu into the tent.

"I have a task for you. I'm going to ride to the barony to check the payment of pensions." Jiang Yuan said to the new captain.

"Yes, my lord the baron."

"You are the first batch, so your report should not be different from the ones that follow."

"Yes." The new captain lowered his head and replied.

Next to him, Lesu looked at the young general in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. It turns out that everyone is so tired.

"I plan to use you. Killing a knight is too wasteful. What do you want?" Jiang Yuan asked bluntly.

"I want to control more people." Le Su thought about his words, fearing that the word "power" would offend the other person's taboo.

"Okay, pick ten guys from the prisoners who are closely related to the dead bandits and kill them. If you can do that, you can become the commander of a battalion, in charge of 1000 people, which is a lot of power." Jiang Yuan said that he expected to lead 3000 people. Participating in winter hunting, three camps form one school.

"No problem." Lesu licked the corner of his mouth.

In the afternoon, Lesu, who was untied, went to the center of the camp and pulled out ten people and beheaded them in public. Facing the hateful eyes of his former subordinates, he didn't have too many emotions, because only those who paid would be rewarded. He ran the village by himself, and what he was waiting for was Chance.
