A strange world

Chapter 1317 Section 239. Delay

The gang members who were looking forward to it saw the new leader walking back alone.

The good news was that she was back, but the bad news was that she was the only one back.

"Boss, where is the help you said?" Harding asked bravely.

It should be too late to catch up with the Wolf Gang messenger at this time...

Joan forced a smile and told everyone: "The reinforcements are on the way and will arrive soon!"

The gang members who had already learned from Harding that the new boss was not a small figure cheered. Their interests were already tied to Joan, and they had to believe it at this time.

"But-"

The gang members stopped moving.

Joan took a deep breath: "I'm worried that the Wolf Gang will arrive faster, so we must hold off the enemy's offensive before the reinforcements arrive!"

The gang members whispered, that's the Wolf Gang...they are ordinary people...

"Harding, who is most familiar with the terrain and mining areas in this area?"

"Bores and I are the most familiar!"

"Boss, I'm here!" Bores stood up.

Joan looked at him and said, "I'm giving you a task now: run to every mining area you know, and shout loudly outside, 'The Wolf Gang is going to attack Joan of the Free Gang!', not a single word less."

"Whether the reinforcements can arrive depends on you."

"Boss, I know!"

Joan selected three more people and asked them to go to Hygar Valley and bring back all the people there, including the hard laborers.

"We don't want Hygar Valley anymore?" Harding was a little anxious.

"It's just a temporary suspension of work. Don't give the Wolf Gang a chance to defeat us one by one. We need to concentrate our strength together." She said to Harding: "Go tell the workers that they don't have to work today. Gather everyone."

Let the men keep an eye on the outside and make a sound if there is any movement, and then walked into the cave.

In a few minutes, all the workers were gathered.

Joan chose to make the current situation public, and then said in panic: "I am not threatening you. You have seen the treatment of the hard laborers. If the Freedom Gang falls, you will become slaves again, hungry and exploited. But if you take up arms and stand with the Freedom Gang, I swear that you will no longer be inferior to others, and you and your family will no longer be slaves of others!"

"If anyone wants to leave now, I won't stop you."

A few figures in the group of workers swayed, and Harding jumped out at this time and cursed: "You will only seek death if you leave! The wanderers outside like to catch people who are alone and take them back. They will first eat your belly and thighs with the most fat, and the most chewy chest and arms are also good. Your internal organs, intestines, and liver will be pulled here and there-"

Harding frightened the workers, but also gave up the idea of ​​retreating.

Joan let Harding finish his coercion and inducement, and continued: "I know the addresses of all of you. If you die in battle, I will give your family a pension of 10 gold nars and send them to a safe place to live a peaceful life."

"Whether to reunite with your family with the money you earn, or to let your family live a worry-free life, it depends on this time. Even if we die, we must die on the road fighting the enemy!"

Joan didn't know the workers' emotions, but she was really excited.

"The Wolf Gang is indeed strong, but as long as we hold on until the reinforcements arrive, it will be their turn to suffer! So we have to set up traps and delay time... Hahahahaha Rhodes."

Joan shouted the name that impressed her.

"Boss, you called me?"

Hahahahaha Rhodes looked around.

"Is there anyone with such a weird name here?"

Joan's words caused a dull laugh in the tense atmosphere. Hahahaha Rhodes showed a familiar silly smile on his face and walked out of the crowd.

"Harding, there is no other exit in the mine, right?"

"No!"

Joan looked at Hahahahaha Rhodes: "I'll give you a task. You lead all the workers to move all the broken stones out and block the exit."

"Boss, won't we be trapped in there? The Wolf Gang just needs to smoke outside the cave..."

"They don't dare, unless they want to be punished by the Oyster Gang."

When Joan bought slaves, she deliberately learned from the slave traders-the Oyster Gang prohibits any gang from killing or harming the laborers without reason. Those gangs who dare not treat the laborers as human beings are hanged outside the gate of the Oyster Gang.

This indirectly proves that although the laborers are in a bad situation, they are indeed not consumables, and that the Oyster Gang still has dominance in the broken mining area.

Only the slave traders complained about this. After all, if the laborers are consumed slowly, they will make money slowly.

Sealing herself in the mine was a move Joan had no choice. Even if the Wolf Gang was not as powerful as Harding said, the fact that they dared to collect protection fees showed that there were at least several professionals.

My gang is absolutely not qualified to fight. There is no other possibility except collapse at the first touch...

So I can only delay time.

Even if your Wolf Gang brings a legion, you have to move the stones slowly outside.

Hahahaha Harold led the workers to rush into the depths of the mine, and Joan ordered the gang to move all the supplies outside in. .

Only Harding was left behind by her.

"Boss, what do you want me to do?" Harding knew why he was left behind.

"Your mission is the most important."

Joan lowered her voice: "I need the most trusted person to go to the Wolf Gang and help us delay time. The longer you delay, the greater our chances of winning."

Harding was stunned, and Joan couldn't bear it, but there was nothing she could do. Among these people, Harding was the one who was least likely to betray her.

"Boss, if I die, my daughter..."

"If you have an accident, we will take care of your family, I swear."

He lowered his head, struggled for a long time, and took out a purse from his arms.

"This is the money I saved..."

Joan took it. The purse was very light. A slight weighing showed that it was almost all silver coins, but it was so heavy that she could hardly hold it.

Joan took a deep breath and whispered, "You are just delivering a letter. They shouldn't kill you. At most, you will suffer a little. As soon as the reinforcements arrive, we will set out to rescue you immediately..."

Harding squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying: "I believe you, Boss."

Joan couldn't help but said, "Remember, you just need to delay time. If you really can't, surrender. We won't blame you."

"Got it, Boss."

Harding left and rode away the only long-haired horse in the Valoran Basin.

Joan tightly grasped his purse, feeling that trust was heavy and bitter.

"I'm really not suitable for this kind of thing..."

Last night, she was still proud of being the leader of the gang. After only a few hours, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

"It's better to be a warrior. You only need to charge and die in the front. There are more things to consider when hiding in the back..."
