The city defense soldiers in front stopped, and the city defense soldiers behind naturally stopped as well.
"Yuan Zheng, you watch here. I will take two soldiers from the city defense army to investigate. If it is confirmed that those bandits are indeed the ones who took away our Dorado people, I will send you a flare!" Lin Xiao said to Yuan Zheng
said.
Yuan Zheng wanted to say something else, but Lin Xiao had already led two city defense soldiers in that direction.
The reason why Lin Xiao didn't take the two hundred city defense soldiers there with him was because so many people were galloping together, and the noise was too great, and they would be discovered by those people before they even got close.
That's why he quietly approached with only two people. After confirming that he was indeed the target of arrest, he could lead people to create chaos and delay their footsteps, and at the same time launch a signal flare for Yuan Zheng to lead people to pursue them.
The two hundred city defense soldiers and Yuan Zheng were about three kilometers away from the campsite.
Now, Lin Xiao and two city defense soldiers had approached to a position of about 500 meters.
"Dismount, let's sneak in on foot."
Lin Xiao ordered.
"yes!"
The two city defense soldiers lowered their voices and replied.
Then the three of them got off their horses together, abandoned the horses, and approached the campsite on foot. When they arrived, they discovered that this was indeed the campsite of a wandering mercenary group.
There were about forty people in this wandering mercenary group - Lin Xiao only counted the horses tied outside the camp to know the number of people in this wandering mercenary group.
At this moment, these mercenaries were drinking and bragging around the campfire, and the camp was very noisy.
Lin Xiao and two city defense soldiers sneaked in quietly. When they got to the center, they found more than 20 poor women tied with ropes and sitting together.
The ages of these poor women range from 11 or 12 years old to more than 30 years old. The 11 or 12-year-old girls went to work outside the city with the adults and were caught before they could escape. Now they are sobbing no matter how old they are, as if they are in heaven.
It almost collapsed.
"Stop crying! Damn it, if you dare to cry again, I will kill you!"
A drunken brawny man yelled angrily with a riding crop in his hand.
All these women were silent, and no one dared to speak out.
After confirming that it was correct, Lin Xiao ordered the two city defense soldiers beside him: "You go and set fire to all the tents later; you go and cut off the ropes of the horses and release all the horses. If there are no horses, they will die."
You can't escape until you die!"
"yes!"
The two city defense soldiers immediately nodded in agreement and then dived into the night.
Lin Xiao, on the other hand, quietly approached these women.
Lin Xiao's approach made these women feel very scared. They all showed frightened expressions and cried non-stop.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you! I am Lin Xiao, the commander-in-chief of the Dorodo City Defense Force! I will cut off your rope now, but don't run away, follow my command here. Don't worry, someone will be there soon
Come to save you."
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, these women were all very excited, and each of them looked at Lin Xiao expectantly.
Lin Xiao pulled out the black military dagger from his leg, and then planned to cut the rope that tied these women together.
But at this moment, two strong men suddenly walked over drunkenly.
"Hey hey hey... I like old ones, what kind do you like..."
"I like young ones, old ones are boring."
"What do you know? Only old women are interesting."
The two strong men came to the group of women while talking obscene words, and then began to choose.
