The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword
Chapter 14: Encounter (4)
While Cheechen and Yuri were fighting back to Zamosye, Cheechen's uncle Pidro was also in trouble in Zamosye.
According to the agreement between Piedro and the robber, on this day he should take two thousand Taylor and the captives to redeem Cheorchen and Yuri. He also agreed with the leader of the caravan and the mayor of Mikhail to exchange the tar and other items seized from the robbers for the equivalent Taylor.
Since last night, the mercenary group has split the issue of redemption. The instigator was the Malone whose ear was knocked out in the battle.
Ma Long has a problem, that is, he is greedy for money. Originally, he joined Pidro's team because of the promise of Pidro's mercenary fee of 20 Taylor per month in the future. If the trophies are exchanged for money this time, everyone won’t lose less than one hundred and fifty Taylors. Now that the money is going to be exchanged by Pidro for his nephew, how can this make Malone feel resentful.
Malone clamored for four or five mercenaries and strongly opposed Pidro's use of the seized spoils to redeem people.
"Our mercenaries are all heads hung on the waistbands and engaged in desperate trading. This time the trophies should belong to each of us. According to the rules, everyone should divide the money and the trophies equally."
This is what Malone said.
If these words are in peacetime, they are indeed reasonable. Pedro wouldn't care about these little money. Pidro combined these people, also wanting to join one party to obtain greater benefits in the war that will break out in the future. He even deliberately gave other people more benefits in order to buy people's hearts and consolidate the team.
But this time is different, his nephew fell into the hands of the robber. There are no hostages, those properties are the last bargaining chip in the negotiation between Pidro and the robber, how could he divide the money.
So Pidro suggested that the property should not be divided for the time being, and it would be taken back from the robber when it was exchanged.
"Get it back? What if you can't get it back?" Malone was a little reluctant.
If it had been in the past, Pidro would have had an old punch when he met Malone's opponent. But now, his prestige in the team has not been fully established, and there are not a few mercenaries who listen to Malone's words, he has to suppress his anger and explain it painstakingly.
But no matter what Pidro said, Malone was against it. He has only one purpose, which is to divide money.
"If it weren't for you to kill the two prisoners, you might get them back without paying."
Hearing that Malone was so unreasonable, Cadiz, who was originally at odds with Piedro, stood on Piedro's side this time and choked.
Malone widened his ape-like black eyes. If anger could burn a person to death, Cadiz would have been burned to ashes by the anger that spurted out of Malone’s eyes.
Unfortunately, Cadiz didn't respond to Malone's anger at all. After he said this, he lowered his head again and wiped his sword to himself.
"Yes, I also propose to rescue Cheerchen first. Everyone is a companion who was born and died together, and no one is in a deep crisis. Think about it, if you are captured one day, you will have to pay a ransom to survive. Opportunity, do you also want others to save you."
At this time, Fidel also said.
Fidel has served as a soldier, and his swordsmanship is also very good. He is also very prestigious in the team, he also opened his mouth to help Pedro speak, and every word was to the point. The two mercenaries who had been bewitched by Malone immediately shook.
Seeing that his alliances were getting less and less, Malone was anxiously dripping sweat on his forehead.
Suddenly, he reached out and held his halberd.
This is going to be fired up! Everyone couldn't help becoming nervous.
Pidro and Fidel also pressed their hands on the hilt.
At the moment of the moment, Ruth stood between the two sides and filled with peacemakers. He said that it was getting late and everyone would go back to rest and rest and wait for the long-term plan tomorrow. This eased the situation.
Because of this trouble, Malone will of course not live in the same room with Piedro and Fidel. He glanced at the two men fiercely, then at Cadiz, carrying his halberd and going out.
Originally, everyone thought it would just pass. Unexpectedly, Ma Long secretly carried a few velvets and other trophies onto a workhorse that night, and absconded with his belongings.
It's a lot of trouble now. It's nothing to leave a Malone, but what he stolen is worth no less than six hundred Taylors. These are things that Pidro originally intended to exchange for the ransom. There was a big gap in the two thousand ransom.
"Thief, robber, villain." Pidro cursed Malone with dirty and ugly words, and the others were filled with righteous indignation. This kind of absconding with possessions is a taboo of mercenaries.
"I don't know if a thousand Taylor can redeem a person." After cursing, Pidro couldn't help thinking. He even thought of robbing the village—if conditions permit.
"Gentlemen, excuse me."
At this time, the mayor Mikhail opened the door and came in.
"Mayor, what's the matter?" Pidro's voice was exhausted, and he was a little tired.
"That's it. The noble master in the city sent a team of cavalry to collect next year's rent. Although I and them repeatedly said that we had no extra food. But they still didn't believe it and said they wanted to search for one. Search. So..."
The head of the village Mikhail did not say clearly, but he obviously meant that the search area also included the room where the caravan and mercenaries were located.
"Okay, let's go out." The people didn't fight with the soldiers. Although they were in a bad mood, Pedro and the others didn't embarrass the mayor Mikhail, and they went out of the house very cooperatively.
Outside the house, the leader of the caravan is negotiating with the soldiers.
"We are a caravan belonging to the Kingdom of Sweden, protected by the King of Sweden."
"Don't worry, Mr. UU reading www.uukanshu.com team leader. We have great goodwill towards the Kingdom of Sweden, and we also have the greatest respect for King Karl. As long as it is an item on the caravan list, we will not move. Yes." said a young man with the appearance of an officer.
So the leader stopped talking.
Pidro and others stood outside the house, watching the soldiers coming in and out.
"You said, can these soldiers find food?" Ruth took the initiative to whisper to Cadiz beside him. Cadiz's two performances made Ruth think that the cold-faced man had been swept over by Pidro, and his attitude towards him was unavoidable.
Cadiz did not speak.
"Sir. We found something."
At this time, a soldier came out carrying two barrels of tar and wine. That was the spoils that Pedro and the others got from the robbers.
"Let it go! These are ours." Piedro roared. The sound not only frightened the soldier, but Ruth and the others also trembled.
Don’t blame Pedro for doing the lion roar. Malone's absconding with his belongings was enough to make Pidro angry, and now these silly soldiers had the idea of the rest of those things, if they succeeded Pidro to save Chechen, there really was no hope.
"Yours? It's not on the list." The young officer looked at the angry Pidro, and said with no expression on his face.
"That's our spoils of robbery." Ruth said.
"It's true." The caravan leader also said to help.
"That's stolen goods. Then we have to take them away and return them to their original owners."
But the young officer was unmoved and still wanted to take it away.
"Swag? I made your clothes become ‘dirty’." Piedro couldn’t bear it, and he didn’t care about anything anymore, drew his sword and slashed it up.
