Chapter 134 - Soldiers and Bandits Who Got Along Well
Chapter 134: Soldiers and Bandits Who Got Along Well
Mike did not go to the palace. Instead, he brought the robbers directly to the barracks in the City of Light.
Yes, they occupied the barracks of the royal guards.
The royal guards who were training in the training square were forced to move to the barracks outside the city tonight.
The royal guards were very dissatisfied with this.
The bandits had messy hair, were not disciplines, and would occasionally pick their noses and laugh inappropriately in the public. The soldiers all held a hostile gaze.
Mike saw the gazes of the soldiers, but neither did he say anything nor take any actions.
Maybe these bandits would have conflicts with the soldiers in the future, or even end up fighting.
However, it would not be to the extent of directly killing each other.
So, just let them be.
After bringing all the bandits to the barracks, Mike found an empty space in the training square and said,
“From now on, you will be a part of the City of Light.
“I will not go back on the benefits I told you before, so you can rest assured about this.
“However, you can’t let your guard down completely.
“Because we humans might have a war with the Trolls and Dwarves. You should always be ready to fight.
“If there’s nothing else, I still have things to do. Go back to what you were doing.”
After saying that, Mike left.
Seeing Mike leave, the soldiers on the training square immediately looked at each other.
This was a good opportunity!
The reason why they swallowed their anger was because God Slayer was too powerful.
However, now that God Slayer had left.
Then, they had nothing to fear.
After all, the other party was just a group of bandits, and they were soldiers with strict military discipline.
They thought that they could totally teach the bandits a small lesson.
At the thought of this, the Deputy Commander of the Royal Guards, Lucious, led the soldiers and approached the bandits, wanting to find some trouble.
However, when they got close to a certain distance, their footsteps gradually slowed down.
Not only their footsteps but even their morale became much weaker.
What did they see?
They saw the expressions on the bandits’ faces. They were actually very excited!
No matter how brave and good soldiers were, they would always be solemn and sorrowful when facing war.
No one liked to fight.
The soldiers only fought because they had to.
However, these bandits were actually excited.
This made the soldiers feel afraid.
They looked at Lucious, who was at the front, and could not help but ask,
“Vice commander, why do I feel that… something is wrong with them?”
“Yeah, they’re a little abnormal.”
“They are so excited to hear that a war is about to break out. Are they crazy?”
Hearing the discussions of the soldiers, Lucious was a little flustered.
That was right, he also felt that these bandits were not to be trifled with!
Who would be so excited to hear that they were going to war?
War was a life and death battle!
Were they not afraid of death?
However, what they did not know was that.
In the eyes of these bandits, war was not a matter of life and death, but money.
Spoils of war, weapons, armor, land, reparations…
These were all the huge benefits that war could bring.
As for the question of life and death, it was not something that they should consider.
Originally, the bandit was already a profession that had a high risk.
It was not surprising if they were caught and executed by the soldiers.
Moreover, their boss was a man who almost massacred Victory City alone.
With such a person as their boss, were they worried that they would not be able to win?
Therefore, it was inevitable that they would be excited.
At this time, the shirtless bald bandit leader also noticed the approaching soldiers.
He grinned and waved at Lucious.
“Hey, kid, come here!”
Lucious was so scared that his whole body shivered.
This guy looked like a bandit leader. Why was he looking for him?
Lucious looked left and right, trying to pretend that he was not the one who was being called out.
However, the other soldiers had already maintained a certain distance from him. They formed an empty space around Lucious and revealed an expectant look.
That look seemed to say, “Vice-commander, it’s all up to you. Good luck.”
Lucious cursed in his heart. In the end, he braced himself and walked towards the shirtless bald man.
“Uhm… May I know why you are looking for me?”
Lucious asked carefully.
The shirtless bald man did not think too much. He put his arm around Lucious’s shoulder and said,
“Brother, we will be living here from now on, but we are not very familiar with the environment here. Can you help us introduce the place?”
The shirtless bald man tried his best to act friendly and kind.
However, his fierce appearance still made people feel threatened by his words.
Lucious felt as his throat dried up. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded,
“Yes… I will take you around the barracks. First, this side is…”
The two of them left the square as they spoke.
The other bandits also looked at the other soldiers with a “kind” smile.
The soldiers trembled a little and also braced themselves as they walked over.
It seemed that they would get along very well.
Probably.
..
“I wonder if they can protect themselves well.”
Mike muttered to himself as he walked. He was still a little worried that the bandits would be injured after having a conflict with the soldiers.
After all, those soldiers had undergone professional training and could not be compared to the bandits’ wild methods.
However, what he did not know was that those bandits had already convinced the soldiers through another method.
Yes, the truth was always very strange.
“Who protects who?”
A sentence suddenly came from behind Mike.
He turned around to take a look. It was Stone.
He asked in puzzlement,
“Stone, where have you been? I didn’t hear you speak all this while?”
Stone yawned and said,
“I got drunk in the stronghold and slept on your back.”
“…”
Mike was speechless.
To be able to sleep on someone else’s back for so long was quite impressive.
“Where are we going now?”
Stone had already forgotten the question it had just asked. It asked another question.
Mike thought for a moment and said,
“Let’s continue to Violet Valley. We delayed because of our recent matters. It’s time to go now.”
“Alright, alright. Let’s go to Violet Valley!”
Stone, who had sobered up, returned to its usual excited appearance.
Mike smiled slightly.
It was actually quite nice to have such a lively companion.
“Alright, let’s go.”
