Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

The loot Milin emphasized was not the 1,167 dinar silver coins used as employment fees.

Because no matter how much I emphasize, you still need to take the voucher to the village leaders to hand it over before you can get it.

The loot Milin mentioned refers to the extra loot obtained when clearing out bandits.

Such as prisoners of war, supplies and other things.

It is precisely because of these extra trophies that the rewards for tasks such as clearing out bandits/robbers/horse thieves/deserters are among the best among all mercenary tasks, far exceeding those of escorting, training soldiers, and retrieving village chiefs. Missing daughter or something.

Of course, the dangers are also among the best.

However, after the humanoid sauromorph Alori said "waaaaagh" again, Milin led the remaining troops to sweep again.

Trapped in this mountain forest, the bandit gang worth 1,167 dinars of silver coins became history.

It's a pity that because Alori rarely has the concept of force of action in his brain circuit, any forest bandits who choose to confront Alori's wave of "waaaagh" can't even be used as evidence to suppress the bandits.

Even the weapons used by these bandits, which were another part of the trophies, were only worth recycling.

Milin took out a weapon that could barely be distinguished from the trophies that looked like a garbage heap. It was once a Western broad-bladed sword.

The completely twisted shape and the tissue that had not yet been wiped off showed that the previous owner of this weapon seemed to want to confront the flail in Alori's hand.

A broad-bladed sword that can be used with one or two hands can indeed be used to parry on the battlefield, but you have to look at what you are parrying.

I was not applauded by the Angmar Witch King in Alori's hand. It could be classified as a siege weapon and was smashed to pieces. I can only say that the metal material used in this broad-bladed sword is good and it serves as a cushion. ...the material is pretty good.

Milin threw the broad-bladed sword back into the pile of trophies, picked up a few other weapons and looked at them for a while, and finally his eyes rested on the tail feather of an arrow that had no idea where it went.

"This is no ordinary robber."

"Why do you say that? Boss." Alori, a humanoid sauromorph with a canine-beard personality, suddenly sprang out from Milin's side.

"How can a robber have such good equipment?" Milin replied in a very casual tone.

In this medieval world where wars were fought for all kinds of strange reasons, there wasn't much of a barrier between mercenaries and robbers.

If there is any difference, it is that the equipment used by the former is often much better than that of the latter.

"It seems like this." At Milin's prompt, Alori also noticed the weapons used by these bandits, especially the bows and arrows used as the main weapons by these forest bandits.

"Didn't you notice it before?" Milin looked away from the half arrow in his hand and asked Alori strangely.

"...Hehe, hehe." Faced with Milin's question, Alori showed a hint of embarrassment.

It seems that when she "waaaagh", she packs her brain up and puts it aside before serving.

Noticing that Milin's eyes were looking at him more and more dangerously, Alori quickly changed the subject and asked: "So, boss, did you find anything?"

"Compared to my discovery, where are my gold coins?" Milin, who also knew that there was no point in blaming Alori for such a trivial matter, reached out.

"Here it is." Alori immediately took out the Oriu gold coin from his chest pocket and handed it to Milin with both hands.

After feeling the remaining temperature on the gold coin, Milin played with the commemorative coin again and said:

"Ordinary arrows won't turn that armor of yours into a hedgehog."

"Maybe it was because I was closer when I rushed?" Alori thought for a while and said.

"Perhaps, but in any case, it is the strangest thing to be able to use such weapons and still run into the forest as a robber. These weapons are ranked high even among noble private soldiers." Milin used In a calm tone, he expressed the biggest doubt he had discovered through these trophies.

"e..." After hearing Milin's suspicion, Alori also frowned, as if he was seriously thinking about the reason.

"Okay, stop showing off. With insufficient information, all conclusions are just guesswork." Milin interrupted Alori's thinking.

"Is there any danger in that?" Alori asked, who immediately stopped thinking.

"I'm worried now. Why weren't I worried when I sneaked out before?" Milin said angrily after hearing Alori's words.

"I'm not worried about your safety, boss, nor am I worried about myself." Alori said with a smile, who was sure that the fact that he walked alone should be exposed again.

"There's nothing to worry about. Anyway, according to the commission, we have to kill these bandits. It's only a matter of time before we discover these strange places." Milin said

"Then ask the prisoners." Alori pointed to the side.

"It makes no sense. We don't even have a basis to judge whether what they say is true or false."

Milin said, moving his eyes to the other batch of "trophies" pointed by Alori... to be precise, two batches of "trophies".

The reason for using double quotes is that the two groups of "trophies" are not objects, but living people.

One group was the "former robbers" who were tied up and stared at the people surrounding them with vicious eyes.

However, if you look closely, you can see that there is a trace of fear deep in the vicious eyes of these "ex-bandits".

This look of stern expression was obviously due to the fact that there was a pile of tissue piled haphazardly in the open space around them, and it looked like they were going to be burned.

The other group of people were captives robbed by these bandits.

It was not the first time for Milin to suppress bandits. No matter whether they were bandits entrenched in the forest or horse thieves roaming the plains, they still had to make a living.

It is very common to plunder goods and people at the same time for one's own use.

In other words, these people with thin clothes and sallow complexions are the slaves of those forest bandits.

What's strange is that there seem to be a lot of slaves.

At least this was the first time that Milin saw a group of bandits that numbered no more than thirty people, and he captured nearly fifty people as his slaves.

You must know that human trafficking is rare. The biggest reason is that the low prices make this industry almost unprofitable.

And what's interesting is that from some of the details of their appearance, it can be seen that the captives who are leaning together, almost huddled together, seemingly huddled together for warmth, are not all from the surrounding areas.

Some captives have obvious characteristics of desert people or steppe herders.

This means that these forest bandits traveled a long distance and then planted themselves in the area they are most familiar with.

As for why these prisoners huddled together, looking at Milin and the surrounding soldiers with evasive and fearful eyes.

That's because according to convention, when these bandits are solved by Milin, they are considered to be prisoners of Milin. If Milin plans to turn into bandits, then their situation will not change much.

What's more, as mentioned before, in this chaotic medieval world, there is not much difference between mercenaries and bandits.

Fortunately, Milin didn't plan to play a bandit start, and it was past the opening stage. Milin didn't want to or was interested in smashing the signs.

For Milin, the greatest use of these prisoners is to prove that he has indeed completed the task of killing the bandits.

Because of a certain humanoid sauromorpha, the ears or heads that serve as proof of normal mission completion are definitely not enough.

After identifying the prisoners belonging to nearby villages and asking Gray Wind to take some soldiers to escort them back to the nearest village to collect the bounty, Milin looked at the remaining half of the prisoners.

These prisoners who had been enslaved by the bandits for a longer period of time looked thinner, and some of them looked like they were already dying just from their looks.

Most bandits don't care about the remaining use time of these consumables.

Under the fearful eyes of these prisoners, Milin stepped over the soldiers guarding them and drew a short sword from the passing soldiers.

With a "clang" sound, Milin threw the dagger in front of these prisoners.

Milin's movements seemed to be an order, and the soldiers who had originally surrounded the prisoners also drew out their secondary weapons, including daggers, scimitars, daggers, and maces, and threw them in front of the prisoners.

After completing these actions, several of the soldiers made way for a gap, so that there was no longer a barrier between the two groups of prisoners.

After being stunned for a moment, even the dullest prisoner realized what these actions meant.

"You are free." Milin said to the captives in front of him in a calm to indifferent tone.

Having said that, except for the opening that had been moved out of the way, the rest of the soldiers remained surrounded and did not seem to be granting freedom.
