Chapter 302 Bandits

Chapter 302 Bandits

After resting for a night in the city of Amis, Claude took Michael Jack and the big man Germi and continued on their way. They spent a day and a night climbing over the Odin Mountains, and spent another day and arrived at Kafei in the evening.

Conigada, the county seat of Leicestershire.

This can be regarded as a return to his hometown. Claude came to Cafilezte County to join the army and entered the battlefield from here. However, he was still a member of the Blue Feather Army at that time, and now he has become a different person.

However, the Blue Feather Legion was wiped out in the Karnas Prairie, but Claude was accidentally dumped by the Blue Feather Legion as a package to the Amys City Security Battalion, and was transferred to the Ranger Camp by the eldest prince. Now Claude

He has been promoted to the rank of captain and received a knighthood. Who could have expected this situation?

Claude decided to rest for two days in the city of Gonigada. It was really tiring to climb over the Odin Mountains. Neither Mike nor the big man had a good rest. The mountains were high and the roads were dangerous, and there were people transporting supplies on the mountain roads from time to time.

A large freight convoy passed by, and Claude, three people, five horses, and a carriage kept giving way to the convoy coming from the opposite direction, which even slowed down the entire journey.

In addition, Claude decided to visit the original legion camp. After the Blue Feather Legion was completely destroyed, its remnants were said to have returned to the legion camp in Cafilezte County. The kingdom decided to reorganize a new Blue Feather Legion here.

Claude had already heard about the 2nd Ranger Battalion and the 11th Field Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division of the Blue Feather Corps through Captain Durrioro. The 2nd Ranger Battalion suffered extremely heavy damage. But Belklin was fine.

The boy was smarter and was ready to escape early when he saw the situation was wrong. The squadron he led ran back most of the troops.

As for the 11th Field Battalion of the Blue Feather Legion, it was the old unit that Claude enlisted in. Like the rest of the field troops of the Blue Feather Legion, they died together with the light cavalry of the Principality of Karnas on the prairie. It was just that the first

The treatment center of the 11th Field Battalion was dragged behind the legion. When the situation on the front line was not good, some of the wounded soldiers and medical staff escaped. Dr. Perente, whom Claude was concerned about, was also among them. He and the

Bell, a medical soldier whom Claude knew, was lucky enough to encounter Belklin who was retreating, and then escaped back under the escort of Belklin.

Claude just wanted to see Dr. Perrente. When he joined the army, he had a conflict with a veteran and went to the treatment center twice. Dr. Perente spent a lot of time on him. It can be said that if it weren't for Perente,

The doctor saved him, but Claude was never as prosperous as he is now. Later, he was injured in the thigh during the battle to capture Wilf's Hill. It was the medicine specially sent by Dr. Parent that cured the penetrating injury to his thigh and prevented him from being injured.

He suffered the fate of having his leg amputated due to infection.

So when you come to the city of Gonigada, you must visit Dr. Perrente who is in the nearby legion camp. But unfortunately, when Claude went to the legion camp the next morning, he could not find Perente.

Instead, he met Second Lieutenant Most, the instructor who favored Claude during the recruit training, but now he is Captain Most. This was an unexpected surprise. Captain Most did not expect to see Claude again.

Lord, and Claude, like him, became a captain and wore a knighthood medal on his chest, so that he had to salute Claude first.

At noon, Claude was caught by Captain Most, and the two returned to the city of Conigada to find a tavern to have a drink. Captain Most said that he did not go to the Karnas Prairie with the troops because the Chinese army

He was injured by a bullet and lay in the treatment camp at the rear for more than half a year before he recovered. It was at the treatment camp that he heard the news that the entire Blue Feather Legion was annihilated. After recovering from his injury, he was ordered to return to the legion camp here to reorganize the Blue Feather Legion.

, currently he is the acting battalion commander of the new 11th Field Battalion.

Claude asked about the news about Dr. Perrente, and Captain Most told him that Dr. Perente's organization was no longer in the Blue Feather Army. It was said that after the fiasco, it was organized on the eastern border of the former Eskiline Principality.

A treatment camp was set up to treat wounded soldiers who had escaped, and Dr. Perrente and the remaining medical staff were transferred there. Later, when the treatment camp was disbanded, the files of Dr. Perente and those medical staff were transferred.

It seemed that he had gone to a treatment center under the frontline headquarters, and Captain Most didn't know his general whereabouts.

Claude was disappointed not to find Dr. Perente. After parting ways with Captain Most, Claude went back to the tavern to rest, and was not interested in visiting the city of Conigada. Early the next morning, he

Driving the carriage with Michael Jack and the big man Gimi, we set off again.

Seven days later, Ambrose County.

"Ahead is Heisen Town. We will rest there for the night. We will set off tomorrow morning, pass through the Black Forest, and then walk on the winding mountain road for half a day. We will reach White Deer City in the evening. After five years, I finally went home..."

Claude rode on the horse and sighed to McJack beside him.

"Sir, I don't know if it would be too abrupt for Gemie and I to go to your house. Is there room for us two to live in your house?" Michael asked. He and Claude were both on horseback, and they were on their way.

The big man Germi was driving the passenger and cargo carriage. The carriage was already filled with goods purchased by Claude on the black market of Fort Afina. This was also the case between Claude and Michael.

The reason why he could only ride on horseback to accompany the carriage.

"Haha, it's okay. You two have been with me for so long and you are already my brothers. I believe that my family will welcome you very much. As for the place to live, don't worry about that. I don't have anything else in my family. I just have a lot of real estate.

When I left, I left three buildings for my family. The rent alone can bring in dozens of gold crowns a year. Are you still afraid that you will have no place to live?" Claude laughed and answered.

Hesse Town arrived quickly. The only thing that surprised Claude and the other three was that the security at the entrance of the town seemed a bit tight. This was a sight that they had never encountered along the way. There was not even an identity check in other places.

. This is inevitable, because most of the security battalions in local towns have been pulled to the newly occupied territories, and they have not yet withdrawn from the front line. Therefore, many of the people currently responsible for local security duties are retired veterans in their 40s and 50s.

The identity checks of pedestrians are very sloppy, and most of them do not want to cause trouble.

But Hesse Town was an exception. Claude stopped the car at the door of the Hound Tavern where Uncle Oaks took him for the first time, and asked for a guest room and a warehouse. This was the arrangement all the way.

The guest room was for Claude to stay and allow the three of them to bathe and wash their clothes, while the warehouse was for storing the carriage. Michael Jack and the big man Germi also stayed in the warehouse and took care of the carriage. After all, the carriage was filled with goods worth nearly five hundred dollars.

Jin Kelang's goods must not be careless.

But as soon as the food was served, the Hesse Town Guard arrived. The leader was an old man in his fifties, with the rank of Second Lieutenant of the Guard on his clothes. He should be a retired veteran, because his military salute was very standard.

.

"Salute to you, Knight Claude." The second lieutenant of the security battalion asked after checking the identity certificates and passes of Claude and the three of them: "Can I ask? Are you going back to White Deer City?"

Claude nodded: "Of course, I am on family leave this time and I haven't been home for five years."

The second lieutenant said hesitantly: "Please forgive my rudeness, Knight Claude, if possible, I think it is better to ask you to stay in the town for a few more days, and it will be safer to wait for more people to go on the road."

, it would be much safer if there is a caravan accompanying us..."

"Huh?" Claude was stunned, what does this mean: "Are you saying that the Black Forest and the winding mountain road are not safe? The wolf problem has not been eliminated yet?"

"Oh no, it's not a wolf problem. Four or five years ago, our town hired hunters to eliminate the wolf problem in the black forest. I also participated in the wolf hunting operation that time and hunted two big bad wolves. In total, we dispatched nearly

One hundred hunters eliminated four wolf packs and killed one hundred and forty-five black and gray wolves. The howling of wolves has long been no longer heard in the Winding Mountain Road and Black Forest areas."

The second lieutenant of the security battalion explained: "The Black Forest and Winding Mountain Road are not very safe now because there are gangs of gangsters in this area. The leader is called One-Eyed Longback. It is said that he escaped from the hard labor camp in Bailu City.

There are thirty or forty bandits hiding in the black forest, and they come out from time to time to rob houses and ambush merchants. Although their weapons are not very good, they are outnumbered and dare to fight. So if the three of you rush to Bailu City,

It is easy to be attacked by these bandits in the Black Forest and Panshan Road..."

"Won't these gangsters come out to rob when there are many people?" McJack asked: "Didn't your Hesse Town organize a police force to eliminate them?"

The second lieutenant shook his head: "The original guard team in our town was expanded into a guard battalion after the war broke out and was sent to the front line. It has not come back yet. The town later organized us older veterans and reorganized it.

We set up a police squadron, which was barely able to protect the town, so that these gangsters couldn't get any benefits from us.

It's just that this group of gangsters originally escaped from the hard labor camp in Bailu City, and some were criminals who evaded military service in the three southwest counties. Their scope of activities is in the Black Forest and Panshan Road, and they do not belong to our Heisen Town.

The jurisdiction area. Therefore, it is the responsibility of Bailu City to clear them out. We have no right to enter the Black Forest and mountains to pursue them. In addition, with our current security strength, there is nothing we can do.

According to our experience, as long as the number of people traveling with them exceeds 70, 80 or more than 100, and they are equipped with self-defense weapons, this group of gangsters will not dare to come out to attack the team. Because most of them are already wanted by Bailu City

, basically every gangster's head has a good bounty, and the lowest one has a price tag of five gold crowns.

Therefore, many passing merchants were eager to attack them when they formed a team to pass by, so that they might earn extra money during this trip. This group of gangsters attacked a large caravan more than a year ago. At that time, they still had sixty

The rest of them. As a result, they were beaten to pieces by the caravan's guards, and about twenty corpses were left behind.

The caravan sent these corpses to Bailu City and received a bounty of nearly two hundred gold crowns, which caused a sensation in Bailu City. From then on, this group of gangsters no longer dared to attack large passing groups. They only dared to rob a few

Pedestrians and vehicles occasionally robbed farms on the outskirts of Bailu City to obtain supplies. Bailu City once dispatched a police force to hunt them down, but they fled deep into the Black Forest, causing the police force to return without success..."

This group of gangsters seems to be too useless. Generally speaking, a large caravan only has forty or fifty four-wheel freight carriages and about two hundred people, including about thirty or forty guards. Sixty or so are extremely vicious.

The gangsters couldn't even rob a large caravan, but instead gave away more than twenty heads, which didn't sound like a threat at all.

"What kind of weapons and equipment do these gangsters have?" Claude asked.

"I don't know much about this, but according to some merchants who encountered this group of gangsters, most of their equipment were stone crossbows and bows and arrows, or they were made by themselves. There should be two muskets, which they robbed from a certain farm.

They are very old-fashioned firecrackers, and the rest are mostly cold weapons such as spears, daggers, and axes." said the second lieutenant.

"How many people in the town are going to White Deer City now?" Claude asked.

"It's a pity," the second lieutenant replied: "You are a step late. A team heading to Bailu City has just set off this morning. Now you are the only three people in the town going to Bailu City. But if you can get there in the town

If we wait four or five days, we will soon be able to gather a team of more than fifty people to go to Bailu City."

Claude shook his head: "There is no need. We will not wait in the town to gather the team. We will set off tomorrow morning. As soldiers of the kingdom, the three of us are not afraid of this group of gangsters, and we all bring

With muskets, if they dare to attack us, then we will beg for it, and maybe we can get a large bounty from them."

"Knight Claude, I hope you will think about it again." The second lieutenant of the security battalion wanted to continue to persuade, but seeing the resolute attitude of the three Claudes, he could only salute Claude again and retreat.

Early the next morning, Claude and the other three ignored the dissuasion of the Hesse Town Guards, rode horses and drove a carriage out of the town gate, heading towards the Black Forest.

Before leaving, Claude told the kind-hearted second lieutenant of the security team that if they really encountered the gangsters and they couldn't fight them, they would abandon the carriage and escape on horseback, but I believe they would make the gangsters pay a heavy price.

The carriage was pulled by two packhorses. Both Mike and the big man were sitting on the driver's seat of the carriage, with their own muskets beside them. The reins of the two strong horses were tied behind the carriage and they followed the carriage.

, if necessary, McJack and the big man Gimi can abandon the carriage and ride on the strong horses behind to leave.

As for Claude, he rode along with him on horseback. There were two muskets stuck to the side of his horse. One was his Obash Type III standard matchlock gun, and the other was a black market gun he bought from Fort Afina.

The purchased shotgun. This shotgun should have been passed down from the house of a noble in a certain principality, or it was snatched away as a trophy by a soldier and sold on the black market. It is a specially made shotgun with a range of about twenty meters.

The shotgun fired from inside is said to be able to kill ferocious wild boars. In addition to its short range, it also has a disadvantage in that it has strong recoil, but this is not a problem for Claude.

The reason why Claude spent a lot of money to buy this shotgun was not because of the decorative pattern of gold and silver on the surface of the gun, but because of the name engraved on the gun body: Libweide Mirowski. This is Claude's name.

The name of the father of Baroness Sonia Luo Vacusili, the first lover she met in Squirrel Village, was a well-known gunsmith in the eastern part of the continent.

This shotgun was the work of the Baroness's father. Claude bought it when he saw it. It was also a commemoration of the Baroness. But he didn't expect that this commemorative shotgun could be put to use now...
