Chapter 65: The bandit is here again
Chapter 65 The Horse Bandit Comes Again
At night, Robin followed the usual practice of having a good meal after winning a battle, and held a sumptuous dinner in the open space in front of the main gate of the Lord's Mansion.
A large bonfire was lit in the middle of the venue, and the whole horse meat was placed on top of the bonfire, oiled, sprinkled with chili and cumin, and it was roasted in a short while, and the strong meat fragrance spread throughout the venue The grease fell into the bonfire below, and white smoke came out.
The half-elf girls were in high spirits. They took off their shoes and danced around the bonfire with bare feet. Half-elf men played tambourines and flutes, and cheerful music rang out at the dinner party.
Elves are a race that loves art and music. Half-elves have perfectly inherited this tradition. Even in the most difficult times, half-elves did not abandon music.
However, Robin and Janna were not seen in the lively crowd.
At this time, in a quiet place on the side of the lord's mansion, Robin and Janna were sitting on the grass.
The two of them held a large glass of malt wine, bathed in the watery moonlight, listened to the calls of night chirping insects, chatted and enjoyed the tranquility.
After taking a few sips of wine, Janna's cheeks flushed slightly. She suddenly turned her head to look at Robin's side face, and said with a serious expression:
"Lord Baron, I really appreciate you very much. At that time, without you, I really didn't know what to do."
Robin grinned: "Stop talking about such nasty words, I'm still pointing at you to make money for me in the future."
Jana frowned her beautiful eyebrows, and complained: "You, really, always say such things that destroy the atmosphere."
Robin shrugged indifferently: "I'm just a rough person."
Jana lowered her head and looked at the malt wine in the glass: "Master Baron, do you still remember the agreement between the two of us?"
"Agreement?"
Robin was taken aback for a moment, and then under Janna's wolf-like eyes, he suddenly remembered.
"You mean, last time I asked you to be my subordinate, you said that you would swear allegiance to me when I became a great nobleman. Is this the agreement?"
Jana took a deep breath, as if she had made up her final decision, she put the wine glass on the grass, and then stood up.
Under Robin's surprised eyes, she walked up to Robin with a serious expression, put her right hand on her chest, knelt down on one knee, and solemnly swore:
"Master Baron, I, Janna, hereby swear that from now on, I will be your most loyal servant, dedicating all my wisdom, courage and life to you until the end of my life."
Facing Janna's sudden oath of allegiance, Robin was a little surprised at first, then showed a joyful expression, and finally teased: "What's the matter, don't wait for me to become a great nobleman?"
Jana lowered her head with a serious expression: "No need, Lord Baron, I am willing to offer my loyalty to you right now."
Robin coughed twice, then put on a serious expression, and said solemnly: "Jana, get up, I accept your allegiance."
"Thank you, Lord Baron."
Jana stood up, under the blue moonlight, she suddenly smiled slyly: "Master Baron, since I have become your subordinate, I should not have to return that gold ring to you, right?"
Robin was raising a glass to drink, and almost choked: "You little girl, you were waiting for me here."
The red turban turned his hands behind his back, and proudly stuck out his pink tongue at Robin.
…
A week later, Robin got information from Janna that a caravan from the Buck Trading Company entered the wasteland, taking the middle business route.
Robin saw the opportunity for revenge, and he chose to attack decisively.
So he took away 30 iron guards and 20 half-elves. According to the map provided by Janna, they rode for three days on the vast wasteland and arrived at the predetermined ambush location.
After that, they waited on the commercial road for another two days, until noon of the day, when Buck's caravan finally appeared.
Robin rode a horse and stood on a high ground. He put a brim on his eyebrows with his hands to block the glare of the sun, and looked into the distance.
Looking across the lush grassland, on the distant business road, a caravan was slowly moving forward. There were about 30 carriages on the other side, with a total of about 50 people. They carried the flag of Buck's business.
Target determination.
Robin untied a black cloth from his arm and put it on his face.
Behind him, fifty iron guards and half-elves stood under the high ground. Seeing the lord wearing a mask, they also took off the black cloth from their arms and put it on their faces.
"Get on the horse!"
Robin gave an order, and the fifty people behind him immediately got on their horses at the same time, neatly.
"Remember, we are horse bandits now. Simon, raise the flag."
The Iron Bear Warrior smiled, and excitedly set up the saber flag. A gust of wind blew by, and the saber-painted flag rattled.
"Follow me, get on!"
Robin pulled the reins, and rushed down the high ground in the first place.
The iron guard and the half-elf followed behind him, and also crossed the high ground one after another, rushing towards the caravan in the distance.
The leader of this caravan is a tall, thin middle-aged man. He is sitting on the leading carriage, leaning his back against the carriage, squinting his eyes and falling asleep.
"There are horse bandits!"
The leader was awakened by a sudden yell, he sat up straight suddenly, and looked around in panic: "The horse bandits? Where are the horse bandits?"
A guard ran over quickly and pointed to the west: "My lord, look over there."
The leader stood up on the carriage, squinted his eyes and looked over, only to see a group of cavalry rapidly approaching them on the endless wasteland.
The leader panicked at first, but then, when he saw the flag that the cavalry was flying, he calmed down instantly.
It turned out to be Earl Saber.
The leader of the caravan has walked this business road many times, so he naturally knows the relationship between Earl Saber and Buck Trading Company. In the past, he has also met Earl Saber several times. As soon as the other party sees the flag of Buck Trading Company, he immediately acts as if he has done nothing. See, turn around and leave.
So, he said to the guard very calmly: "There is nothing to be afraid of, just leave them alone and move on."
It wasn't the first day that the guard followed the leader out to deliver the goods, so he didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and continued to work on his work.
"Don't be afraid, everyone, it's all right, let's move on." The caravan guard yelled loudly, reassuring the others.
The leader sat down, leaned on the carriage, and greeted the driver: "Go on."
This young chauffeur is new here, with a worried look on his face, he asked incomprehensibly, "My lord, there are horse bandits, should we go on?"
The leader kicked him impatiently: "You know what, we are Buck's firm, who dares to rob us? If you let you go, you will go."
The man didn't dare to talk any more, so he could only bite the bullet and continue on his way. The leader of the caravan closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
The caravan went on for a short distance. The man driving the car was very frightened and turned his head to look in the direction of the horse bandits from time to time. Seeing that the horse bandits were getting closer, he finally couldn't help but say:
"My lord, those horse bandits are coming straight towards us!"
"Really?" The leader of the caravan opened his eyes and looked over suspiciously.
At this time, the horse bandits were less than 200 steps away from the caravan. From this distance, they could clearly see the flag of Barker's firm that the caravan played. However, this group of horse bandits didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, so they rushed straight towards the caravan.
The leader of the caravan was also confused: "What's going on? Are these horse bandits collectively blind? Can't see the flag?"
The distance of 200 paces was just under the feet of the cavalry. Seeing that the horse bandits had rushed in front of them, the leader of the caravan stood up and waved at them.
"Hey, we are the Buck's convoy!" He shouted.
But the horse bandits on the opposite side ignored him at all, a group of people rushed over on horseback in a hurry, twenty horse archers opened their bows and set arrows on their horsebacks, and the sound of arrows piercing the air was heard instantly. A dozen people in the caravan were shot down.
The leader of the caravan was shocked and fell off the carriage.
