A strange world

Chapter 1298 Section 220. The Surrendered Master

"Please allow me to introduce myself."

When the laborers regained their senses and numbness and various uneasiness returned to their faces, Little Smo stood up and said: "We are the Free Blade, the Freemen, and Adele."

"The mine controls you, we liberate you."

The laborers had no expression on their faces. The sound of chiseling day and night had long made them lose the ability to think, and they had not yet realized what freedom meant.

Luo Fei came back, with a broken soul floating behind him.

"How is it?" Little Smo asked about the results of the interrogation.

"This place is like a fishing net."

It seems that there is nowhere to escape, but in fact there are loopholes everywhere.

No matter how strict the rules are, they are only strictly followed at the beginning of their formulation.

But Little Smo forgot to ask where they stored the food.

"I have some here."

Luo Fei put out two bags of bread and meat in a sack.

They didn't ask what the food was put with, and asked the freemen who stayed here to distribute the food to the laborers.

The two bags of food were obviously not enough to share, but the laborers came alive visibly, looking at the freemen dragging sacks towards them with anxiety and desire in their eyes.

Little Smo couldn't understand.

How cheap was the money to buy a slave? To make the mine owner not care about the life and death of the laborers and treat them as consumables?

Even the rat craftsmen would not be treated like this!

He remembered what Lord Annan had said to him, that the world needed them.

In the face of absolute advantage, the other seven mines fell into their hands quickly like a whirlwind, without even alarming the huts at the foot of the mountain.

The disadvantage of taking too big a step is that the manpower they brought was obviously not enough, so Little Smo selected some qualified laborers from them to join the freemen and gave them weapons.

There were not many laborers who met the requirements of good health, flexible mind, and clean identity.

For the former two, only the laborers who had just come in met the conditions, and if they stayed a little longer, they would lose their will and health due to the destruction.

As for the latter... Frankly speaking, many laborers could not be considered good people.

Except for some workers who were deceived and enslaved because they really couldn't survive, many of them were not innocent... They were all caught by the town guards and sent here after committing crimes.

Some of them came here for petty theft, and some were extorted and kidnapped.

They were not guilty of such crimes, but they were not really innocent.

So the second thing that Little Smoo did was to gather them together and tell them that only by following the free people could they get complete freedom, and running away would only offend them and the Ferren Company at the same time.

And where could they run to in such a cold day?

They knew where the three masters were, but it didn't matter, the sheriff of the shed must know.

When Little Smoo led a large number of hard laborers to control the sentry post and surrounded the shed cluster in front of the open space, most of them were still asleep.

The ragged sheriff was dragged out of the warm house and thrown in front of Little Smoo.

"Which shed do you want me to live in?" Little Smoo looked at him with a smile.

The sheriff looked up and suddenly slapped himself several times, his face swollen and bleeding from the corners of his mouth, and buried his head in the snow.

"My lord, the money you gave me and the money I saved over the years are all in the room!"

"We are not robbers."

The sheriff continued to bury his head and shouted: "I am willing to do anything for you!"

"What's your name?"

"Jor, sir!"

"Jor, tell me where the three masters guarding the mine are."

"Follow me!"

The sheriff raised his head with a firm face.

The sheriff walked in front and led the way. Let the free people control the area around the shed, put on the leather armor of the guards, and Xiao Smo and the people of the Osculus Mercenary Group followed him.

This sheriff perfectly fits the saying "whoever wins, they help". When the Ferren Trading Company has the final say, he stands there arrogantly. And when the power changes, he decisively continues to be the new master's loyal dog.

This kind of person should be rejected wherever he is, but the fact is that he can do well anywhere.

After walking along the snowy mountain road for more than ten minutes, the sheriff suddenly stopped in front of the mountainside.

"What's wrong?"

"Sir, there is a magic barrier set up by Andrew ahead."

The wizard in the team stepped forward, raised his staff, and chanted a complicated spell to break the magic barrier.

A blue light flashed in the air in the wind and snow.

However, just after the barrier was lifted, the wizard keenly sensed a subtle and obscure fluctuation.

"He noticed us, speed up!" The wizard's face changed slightly, and he released the invisible wind to drive.

The team sped up instantly, and Captain Ryan took the lead. As he ran, milky white spots burst out around him. As the outline of the building in front of him vaguely emerged in the wind and snow, he grasped the war hammer tightly, jumped suddenly, and turned into a cannonball and smashed it towards the house--

Bang!

The building was instantly shattered, but the culprit was not Captain Ryan, but a dazzling fire burst out from the inside of the building.

Captain Ryan was thrown out and rolled on the ground for several rounds, extinguishing the flames on his body.

The burning fragments fell from the sky like meteors, reflecting the outline of a slowly falling archmage.

Captain Ryan, who got up, stared at him and another figure who was also affected by the flame spell.

The guy slapped the flames on his clothes and looked at Captain Ryan with a strange look: "Ryan?"

"Are you... Volod?"

"It's great that you still remember me." The warrior named Volod smiled, and his words were not hostile: "What are you doing here? There are no evil dragons for you to hunt."

"We accepted the job, and our target is the Philen Trading Company."

"Understood."

The members of Captain Ryan's team came and stood with him.

The mage began to chant, setting off a terrifying tide of magic.

Luo Fei took out the dragon bone she had kept at the bottom of the box, and the mage cast a group blessing magic, and the unbelievers shot arrows into the dark snow. After a few seconds, an arrow came out as a return gift.

Just as the melee was about to begin, Volod, who was confronting Captain Ryan, suddenly threw away his weapon: "I can't beat you, I surrender."

The others were stunned in place, and then the mage robes that were agitated by the magic elements gradually returned to calm.

The great mage also gave up.

They didn't need to work hard for the Philen Trading Company when the enemy was far from us.

"Why surrender!?"

The roar of the last person floated out from the periphery.

Volod said helplessly: "If you can defeat the three opponents by yourself, I will pick up my weapon and continue fighting."

After a moment of silence, a vague figure walked out of the slanting snowstorm.

He was shirtless, holding a Tengshe bow, and stared at Captain Ryan and the others with a bad temper because his sleep was disturbed: "Who hired you to attack the Fren Trading Company?"

"Me."

The team members made way, and Xiao Smo walked out.
