No one responded to Lao Ba's words for a while, thinking that Lao Ba summoned them with great fanfare to take action against the Black Wind Pirates.
The Black Wind Bandit is a mountain stronghold jointly established by monks and monsters. There are more than a hundred well-equipped bandits who dare to fight and kill. This is not the lone monster they usually kill alone.
"I know that this Black Wind Bandit was founded by a few monks and monsters, and it has been around for some years. The people in the village are all desperadoes. They usually open up some wasteland in the mountains to make a living, and there are businessmen from other places passing through Cang Xiong Territory.
Just do a business without capital."
The speaker was a middle-aged bald man named Gan Fei. He had worked for Lao Ba when he was still the leader of the Dog Gang, and he had won Lao Ba's trust.
"Yes, this black bandit used to be a wise man. He never touched our locals when doing business. Maybe he often walks by the river and his shoes don't get wet. A few days ago, a member of the Tao family's branch took a bus from the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce.
The convoy went to Fucheng, but the goods were stolen by Heifeng on the way, and the people were killed."
"The Tao family has issued an order to ask the county government and our three major factions to send out manpower to wipe out the black bandits within half a month. The last time the Tao family asked the Blood Clothes Association to take action, it was the second head of the family who took action. This time it is our turn.
Worked hard."
The Tao family is the local emperor of Yangchun County. The county government and the Xueyihui are the Tao family's dogs that guard the house and the courtyard. Now that a family member is killed, the dogs will naturally bite people.
Although the Rakshasa Sect and Wu Sheng Sect are branches of the larger sect in Yangchun County, they still have to pay blood tax for the Tao family if they make a living in other people's territory.
There are many Black Wind pirates, but it is not difficult for Yangchun County to gather a team to destroy them.
First of all, the county government is the most heavily armed. In addition to its policemen who are all monks, it also maintains a group of strong and well-trained white servants.
The three major sects in Yangchun County, the Blood Clothes Society, the Rakshasa Sect, and the Wusheng Sect, also have a large number of monks and manpower. It is not difficult to jointly destroy a small village.
"Please give me the order, Third Master. Gan Fei will definitely take the lead in wiping out the Black Wind Bandits this time."
"Okay, gather all the people in the city. We will set off in the afternoon. Now you can go down and make arrangements."
Everyone immediately agreed, and Du Kang was about to leave with everyone when he heard Lao Ba telling him to stay.
"Dukang, please stay for a while."
Du Kang couldn't help but stop when he heard this voice. He thought to himself, he and Lao Ba are not close, so don't arrange any fatal errands for me alone.
"Besieging a village cannot be accomplished in a day or two. A large group of troops needs space to station. There are not many places suitable for stationing outside Cangxiong Ridge. Du Kang, you will take a group of troops there today and be sure to occupy a good place first."
After Lao Ba finished speaking, he threw a token to Du Kang.
"I know you have no one, so take this and ask Gan Fei for it."
It is a common practice of the Blood Clothes Association that after a swordsman becomes a monk, he can choose to transfer his original team of swordsmen to his subordinates for use, but he needs to pay their wages himself.
At that time, all the swordsmen in Du Kang's team died outside the city, and he had no money, so he had no one under his command. It seemed that this time he could experience the grace of leading a team on a mission.
"No, I'll leave right now."
Du Kang was unwilling to accept this kind of task from the bottom of his heart, and there was no benefit in working for the Tao family.
But there is no free lunch in the world. I worked under the Blood-Clothed Society and enjoyed various benefits such as the protection of the martial arts. Now it is time to pay the price.
You can't just see thieves eating meat without seeing them being beaten.
However, Du Kang had already made up his mind to take over the task of occupying the camp himself, but when it came to the battlefield, it was still more important to save his life.
Holding the token in hand, although he has taken on a hard job, he is still happy at the thought of being able to wise up a team of people. This is a world where great power belongs to oneself, but who wouldn't like it if there are a few people who can listen to it?
.
There is a huge difference between an ordinary person in the world and a powerful master. Think about traveling in the world. You have to do everything yourself, eat, drink, and have sex, and have all the chores done by your subordinates. It goes without saying which life is more comfortable.
He walked out a few steps to catch up with Gan Fei. Du Kang explained the matter to him. Gan Fei waved to a team of swordsmen training in the distance and called them to give him a few words of instruction. The matter was arranged in a moment.
"Which one of you is the captain?"
Looking at the group of six people in front of him, Du Kang asked directly.
I am not familiar with this team of swordsmen, so how can I manage six people at once? Fortunately, every team has a captain, so I just need to manage the captain well and let the captain manage his own people.
"I've met Coach Du. My name is Fan Yang, and I'm the captain of Team B-13."
The one who came out was a man with a beard on his face. He looked to be in his forties and had a plain appearance, but he had a calm temperament.
However, after seeing Li Eryi from the Xie family, Du Kang no longer felt at ease with such seemingly loyal faces. Fortunately, they were only temporarily under his command, and Du Kang didn't care about their thoughts.
"According to the order of the third master, we must set off immediately and rush to Cangxiong Ridge as soon as possible. Now I will give you one stick of incense to prepare weapons and dry food. After one stick of incense, gather at the gate."
"Fan Yang, let others prepare your things for you, and you and I will go get the horses."
"promise."
The swordsmen of the Blood Clothes Society were trained as an army, and upon giving the order, they dispersed to prepare.
Du Kang took Fan Yang to the horse pen again, and after showing his token, he successfully received seven horses.
The horses were led to the front door. The small team was already lined up at the front door. After everyone assigned the horses, they let the horses pace towards the city gate.
The cold wind of early winter blew across my face, and the breath of the man and horse condensed into white mist after leaving the body.
Most of the trees on both sides of the official road have turned yellow, and the leaves linger on the branches and are still blown down mercilessly by the cold wind. The mountains and forests in the distance are full of black and gray colors with fallen leaves, and the outside of the city in early winter is already a blur.
Desolate.
After Du Kang led his team out of the city, the horses began to gallop along the official road.
Cangxiong Ridge is located in the southeast corner of Yangchun County, which is very far away from Yangchun County. If we set off at this time, we will not be able to get there until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.
I don’t know if other forces have sent vanguard troops to set off. If there is a conflict when choosing a camp, Du Kang, the weaker opponent, will naturally not mind making a contribution, but Du Kang, the stronger opponent, will not be willing to fight for the bloody clothes.
Setting off immediately after receiving the mission and rushing on the road were just gestures. Du Kang was not willing to leave the novice village of the Blood Clothes Club for the time being.
It's a pity that I just got the Jinxing evil spirit, but it's too late to advance to the Five Elements magic.
In winter, there was a shortage of food for wild beasts. As Du Kang and his party were running along the official road, they could faintly hear the roars of wild beasts in the mountains. In the woods with sparse leaves on both sides of the road, lone wolves, leopards and other wild beasts could be seen peeking out.
As they gradually moved away from the county town, more and more wild beasts peeped at them, and Du Kang and his party were finally blocked by a corpse.
