After Hod killed the bandit leader, the remaining bandits were also chopped into meat paste by mercenaries and bounty hunters.
Knight Barnett walked slowly under the escort of his entourage and several town guards. His eyes swept across the blood and minced meat on the ground, and there was no expression on his face, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
It seemed that he did not think there was anything wrong with the actions of the mercenaries and bounty hunters.
"Lord Barnett..."
Seeing the arrival of Knight Barnett, the mercenaries and bounty hunters spoke out, and their voices revealed a kind of flattery. After all, they still expected this Knight Barnett to give them silver deer.
"I will fulfill the previous agreement. The silver deer will be issued to you after it is completely over. You can now go to Dick to count your respective military exploits."
Knight Barnett glanced at the mercenaries and bounty hunters, who were only about 70 or 80 people left, and said in a deep voice.
This sentence made everyone present feel relieved. After knowing that their efforts were not in vain, they also smiled happily.
The mercenaries and bounty hunters immediately nodded to Barnett and walked towards Dick's direction, hoping to count their military exploits as soon as possible so that they could get the due reward.
Knight Barnett stood quietly in place, his eyes staring at everything around him indifferently, and finally his eyes fixed on the four people of Hod who were more than ten steps away.
"Lord Barnett."
Hood saw this and hurriedly stepped forward, pretending to be respectful.
"You, did a good job... I will double the silver deer I promised you." Knight Barnett looked at Hod and said lightly.
Hod raised his head slightly and glanced at Knight Barnett's expression. Seeing that he was still indifferent, he replied, "Thank you, Lord Barnett."
After Knight Barnett led his followers and guards to the wooden fort, Hod breathed a sigh of relief, and then his expression returned to normal.
This bandit siege battle, which had reversed several times, was completely declared over after Knight Barnett sent the town guards to find and execute the last few bandits hiding in the wooden fort.
The next step was to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, sort out the spoils, and deal with the follow-up.
In this battle to attack the wooden fort, both the mercenaries and the town guards suffered heavy losses. After the battle, only more than 70 people were left in the mercenary and bounty hunter team of nearly 100 people.
Most of them died under the arrows of the fake bandits during the attack on the fort. Only a few were killed by the fake bandits with sharp wooden spears in the melee on the fort wall, or died in their own hands.
The town guards also suffered heavy losses, with half of the two light infantry squads killed, and the 24 guard crossbowmen of the sixth squad reduced by one third.
If it weren't for the fact that Knight Barnett finally cheered up, I'm afraid these guards would have been slaughtered by the bandits in the end.
Even so, the remaining town guards were all injured, and one captain was killed in the battle.
The wooden fort was soon taken over by the town guards sent by Knight Barnett, and the mercenaries and bounty hunters also stayed in the fort to rest temporarily.
Just as Hod and Nott were sitting bored on a dilapidated cart in the fort to rest, suddenly, several guards escorted a dozen young men with tattered clothes and scars slowly out of a wooden house.
"Boss, it's Kuhn and Jeff!" Nott, with his sharp eyes, immediately discovered two familiar faces in the crowd and couldn't help but exclaimed.
When Hod heard Nott's words, he quickly raised his head and swept his eyes across the crowd. When he saw those familiar figures, his heart tightened, and he immediately jumped off the cart and walked forward with big strides.
"Everyone, everyone, please wait a moment..." Hod said as he hurriedly blocked the guards' way forward.
When the robbers in the team, such as Kuhn and Jeff, saw Hod's appearance, they showed surprise on their faces and shouted loudly.
"Shut up!" A guard roared and kicked a robber down with a flying kick. This move immediately angered Nott and the other three on the side. They all drew out their daggers, with anger flashing in their eyes.
"What do you want to do?" Nott shouted angrily, his tone full of anger.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the guards who were tied with linen and made simple bandages for their wounds dispersed one after another, pointing their short spears at Hod and the other four. They looked serious and their eyes were full of vigilance, as if they were ready to attack Hod and the other four at any time.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the mercenaries around them also put away their smiles and became serious after seeing this scene.
They subconsciously tightened their weapons, fixed their eyes on Hod and others, and observed the situation here, ready to respond at any time.Prepare for emergencies.
"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong..." Hood hurriedly raised his arms and shouted to Nott and the other two: "Nott, Paul, put down your weapons!"
After that, he turned around and explained to the leading town guard: "Sir, there are my companions here. We were separated before, and we didn't expect to meet here, so everyone is a little excited. Please forgive me."
The leading town guard listened to Hood's words, looked at Hood and Nott carefully, and seemed to remember something.
He frowned, whispered a few words to a guard beside him, and then put away his weapon. Then, his tone softened a little, and he whispered to Hood: "Then you wait here first, I have sent someone to notify Lord Barnett."
Hood was secretly relieved when he saw this scene, but his face still maintained a respectful attitude, and he nodded gently to express his agreement.
At this moment, he could only wait silently for the arrival of Knight Barnett, hoping that everything could be resolved smoothly.
Not long after, the captain named Dick hurriedly came from the second-floor wooden house of the wooden fort. When he saw that the atmosphere on the scene had eased a lot, he immediately walked quickly to Hood and said in a low voice:
"Lord Barnett said that these people were captured by the robbers as labor, and they were originally planned to be released. Since your companions are among them, you can take them away."
Hearing this news, Hood showed a look of joy on his face, and hurriedly thanked Dick: "Thank you very much, Lord Barnett, and thank you, Captain Dick."
Dick nodded slightly, then waved to the guards around him, signaling them to let go of the robbers who were escorted.
Seeing this, robbers such as Kuhn and Jeff immediately ran to Hood as if relieved, with joy and gratitude on their faces.
"Boss! Why are you here?"
"Boss..."
"Boss..."
The robbers surrounded Hod and started to speak.
