Bloodline Lord of War

  Chapter 56 Am I suffering from heat stroke?

  Jana told Robin about the situation at the time. At the end, she told Robin her speculation:

   "I suspect it was Viscount Buck's instigation, because the saber can call out my name. I have never seen him before, and I am not a famous businessman. It is impossible for him to know me."

   Robin thought for a while, he didn't care whether the Earl of the Saber was related to Viscount Buck, if he dared to steal Robin's goods, Robin would destroy him!

  What kind of **** Earl Saber, a bandit dares to call himself Earl.

   Robin looked at Janna's face, couldn't help feeling a little distressed, and asked with concern: "Hurt, are you okay?"

  The wound on Jana's face has been bandaged by Aisha, and a large gauze is pasted on the right side of her face, covering almost half of her face. Her face was already small, so it looked a little funny wearing such a large piece of gauze.

  She was very strong, she shook her head: "It's just a small injury."

  Then, with a serious expression on his face, Robin said to Janna affirmatively, "I will kill him with this saber."

  Whether it is selling iron ore or buying materials from Silver Frost City, you must take the right road of business. The Earl of the Saber got stuck on the business road, which was almost equivalent to strangling Robin's life.

  So, Robin must get rid of the Saber Earl, whether it is for his own survival or simply to avenge Janna.

  After resting overnight, Jana asked Robin the next morning, wanting to go back and bring back the body of her dead companion.

  At that time, their lives were of the utmost importance, so they could only temporarily leave the corpses of a few comrades who died in battle. Wild beasts are rampant in the wasteland, and if the corpses are not brought back as soon as possible, Janna is worried that these corpses will be eaten by wild wolves.

   These caravan partners, Janna couldn't bring them home alive, and it made her miserable. So, at least she was going to take the bodies back and return them to their families.

   After all, this is human nature, and Robin immediately agreed, and he asked Simon to go with the iron guards to protect Janna's safety.

  Robin also specially gave Simon a task, asking him to search for traces of the horse bandits, to see if he could find the lair of the bandits.

  The biggest difficulty right now is not knowing where the horse bandits are hiding. As long as they can find the hiding place of the horse bandits, Robin will kill them directly with his soldiers.

  After Janna and Simon left, in the afternoon, Janna and most of the iron guards came back with the corpse, but Simon didn't come back with them.

  Jana told Robin: "Simon took two iron guards to track down the horse bandits."

  It wasn't until it was completely dark that Simon and the two iron guards returned to Rage City in disgrace. Robin listened to their tracking report in the lobby of the Lord's Mansion.

  The three of Simon ran all the way back, already extremely thirsty. The old butler Homan poured each of the three of them a glass of cold water, and the three poured it vigorously with their heads raised, in unison.

  After drinking, Simon wiped the water from his chin, and reported to Robin with a mournful face: "Boss, I didn't find the horse bandit."

  Simon did find the horseshoe prints of the horse bandits at the battle scene at that time. They followed the horseshoe prints all the way and found the horse bandits' camp. But at this time the horse bandits had already moved, and there was nothing left in the camp.

  After that, they couldn't keep track. First, it was getting dark and the sight was poor, so they couldn't track. Second, there were seven or eight horseshoe prints from the camp, and they couldn't tell where the horse bandits went.

  This is the reason why horse bandits are hard to suppress. They never stay in one place for too long, and they change places once they rob.

   In terms of combat effectiveness alone, the border patrols of the empire can completely crush the horse bandits, but they have gone out of the city several times to suppress the bandits and returned without success, because there is no sign of the horse bandits at all.

  The imperial patrols would sometimes patrol back and forth along the commercial roads, but after all, they couldn't stay in the wasteland all the time. Once the patrols returned to the city, the horse bandits would immediately make a comeback.

   Moreover, horse bandits rely on their maneuverability. They can appear at any point on the trade road. Caravans often cannot run fast with their goods.

  After listening to Simon's report, Robin leaned back on the wooden chair and stroked his hair anxiously. If you can't even find the location of the horse bandits, it's even more impossible to wipe them out.

  The bandit suppression operation encountered the biggest difficulty at the very beginning.

   At this time, Janna was also sitting in the lobby, listening to Simon's report with Robin. Seeing that the baron seemed to be at a loss, she suddenly came up with a solution in her flexible mind.

Jana thought for a while, and said to Robin: "Master Baron, I have an idea. You can pretend to be a caravan and lure horse bandits out to rob. As long as they are still near the business road, they will definitely come out to commit crimes. Sooner or later Touch them."

  After hearing this, Robin thought about it for a while and felt that this method is indeed feasible. Although it is a bit stupid and a bit slow, I can't think of any other better way at the moment.

  So he immediately made a decision: "Okay, let's do it."

   Immediately, Robin acted immediately. He commissioned Janna to get 20 carriages from Silver Frost City to disguise as trucks, and let the iron guards and half-elves disguise themselves as ordinary caravan guards.

  The captain of the caravan is still Janna, and Robin proclaims himself the chief guard of the caravan.

  Then, their fake caravan started its official business.

  In the next week, Robin took the caravan back and forth on the trade road, but there was no harvest for a long time.

Janna told Robin to be patient: "The horse bandits will definitely rest for a while after each robbery. This group of desperadoes rob for enjoyment, and only when the money from the previous robbery is spent will they start the next transaction. "

   "The money won't be kept, they will definitely commit crimes again, and it won't be too long." Janna is sure.

   On this day, Robin and Janna acted as a caravan walking on the trade road as usual. They were walking from Raging Waves City to Silver Frost City, and happened to meet another caravan on the road.

   It is not the first time to meet other caravans, but this time, Janna, the owner of this caravan, happens to know each other.

  The boss is called David, a chubby middle-aged man with a big belly, small eyes, mustache, and looks very rich.

  His caravan is not as large as Janna, with only a dozen or so people and ten carriages. The caravan was resting and having lunch on the side of the road when they met them.

   Robin doesn't know David, who is a supplier to other pioneer lords.

  The western wilderness is not limited to Robin as a pioneering lord. These pioneering territories are scattered on the vast land of the wasteland, and the distance between each territory is very far, so there is little communication between them.

  Since they met by chance, Jana exchanged pleasantries with David. It also happened to be meal time, and at the suggestion of Simon, a foodie, Robin and the others also stopped, gathered with David's caravan, and everyone had lunch together.

  Jana's caravan has developed rapidly, and she is quite well-known among small businessmen, so David respects her very much.

  During lunch, Robin and Janna were sitting on a piece of grass, and David came over cheekily.

  A shrewd businessman like him will never let go of all available resources. In his view, Janna is a very high-quality business resource.

Seeing that Janna was carrying twenty carriages, the fat businessman couldn't help but said with emotion: "Miss Janna, I really admire you. I heard that you encountered a horse bandit. I didn't expect that you would form another group soon. A caravan."

  Businessmen are always well-informed, and the story of Janna's encounter with the horse bandits has already spread among the businessmen in Silver Frost City.

  Jana said a few words of self-effacing perfunctory. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the battle, it is naturally impossible to tell David about the fake caravan.

The appearance of the horse bandits on the right road frightened a small businessman like David. He sighed and cursed, "These **** horse bandits, you said they did a good job in the left and middle roads. What are you doing on our right business road?"

  Janna didn't answer his words. David observed his words and saw that Janna didn't seem to want to talk to him very much, so he shut his mouth wisely.

  Then, David heard the young man next to Janna say, "Where do you think this horse bandit went after running on the commercial road for several days in a row? He disappeared from the world? Why hasn't he come out yet?"

   After the Lord Baron finished speaking, he took a bite of the dry bread viciously, chewed it a few times indiscriminately, and swallowed it down with saliva.

  Janna suddenly felt that this was quite funny, put her hands on her knees, and laughed at herself: "When I was in the business, I was most afraid of meeting robbers. Unexpectedly, now I look forward to being robbed every day."

  The simple two sentences of the two of them stunned David beside him.

  Did I hear you right? These two people... seem to be looking forward to meeting the horse bandits?

  The big sun above his head shone brightly on David's bald forehead. He felt hot all over, and even his brain seemed to be confused.

   Could it be that I have a heatstroke and hallucinations?
