Vaughn walked ahead, looking back at the flatbed truck pushed by two militiamen from time to time.
Looking at the 'trophies' piled up on the flatbed truck, the young militia captain had an unconcealable excitement on his face, especially the two pieces of leather armor, which made the young man couldn't help but slow down. He raised his hand and touched the leather armor again.
The leather armor is made of cowhide and wild boar skin after tanning. It is sewn with hemp rope made of sword spine grass and beef tendon. It is not only strong and reliable, but also has a strong defense against chopping.
Not to mention the leather armor itself!
When Vaughn discovered the leather armor, he tested it himself.
Of course, young people are reluctant to test with real knives and guns, but use a more ingenious way that comes from the hunter's feeling for leather.
He can guarantee that this leather armor can not only face the slashing of swords, but also has excellent defense against arrows.
At least, ordinary bows and crossbows cannot break through the leather armor's defense within 20 meters.
The young man couldn't help imagining himself wearing this leather armor in his mind.
Of course, Vaughn's character determined that he would not take these two pieces of leather armor. He would give them all to Qin Ran, just like other 'trophies'.
Copper utensils, a small part of silver.
Lots of coppers, a small bag of silver coins, and six gold coins.
That's all there is to the spoils.
Not as valuable as Qin Ran imagined, but not bad.
"Keep the coins, and the utensils will be rewarded to everyone according to the performance tonight."
"As for the two leather armors... Vaughan, you can have one, don't refuse, your performance is enough for you to have such a leather armor."
"The remaining one is hung in the security station. Whoever performs well in the next tasks and actions will be its owner."
"Of course, you also have to show enough common sense in leather armor care."
Qin Ran stood in front of the militiamen and said loudly.
The fair and generous rewards were unanimously supported by the militia.
The slightly humorous words made the militiamen burst into laughter.
Therefore, no one objected to Qin Ran's next order, even if they stayed up all night.
"I know everyone is very tired, but Broken Stone Town still needs us to protect it."
"Vaughn, you divide everyone into two groups, and try to find a balance in rest and patrol as much as possible."
"Also, we need more manpower to expand the team. After the mission is arranged, you come to me to discuss in detail."
Qin Ran ordered.
"Understood, my lord."
The young man who couldn't wait to put on the new leather armor said loudly.
And as always, vigorously and resolutely.
About ten minutes later, Vaughn returned to the security station. Looking at Qin Ran who was sitting in the chair and Hall the mayor who was standing to one side, the young people greeted him politely.
"My lord, mayor."
Qin Ran nodded and signaled the other party to sit down, and then said: "I need to expand the militia team to about fifty people."
"A full set of weapons and equipment is also needed, and these people must have a certain combat foundation."
"My lord, this is impossible!"
"The resident population of Broken Stone Town is only about 300. It is impossible to get the number of people you requested, let alone a full set of weapons, equipment and a certain combat foundation."
Faced with Qin Ran's proposal, the young man immediately shook his head, expressing that it was impossible.
"The resident population of Broken Stone Town is not enough. We can start with the guards and mercenaries of those caravans. Some of them are willing to continue wandering, but there are also people who are tired of wandering and want to settle down. These people are all we can The ones you want to fight for, I hope you, Vaughn, will find reliable and trustworthy people among these people in the next few days."
"Then, I'll go and convince them myself."
"As for weapons and equipment?"
"As mercenaries and guards, their armor and weapons will not be bad."
Qin Ran didn't speak, and Huoer on the side spoke instead of Qin Ran.
Hall, who was controlled by Qin Ran, had already given priority to Qin Ran's will. Just when Qin Ran opened his mouth, he thought of what to do.
Compared with checking the official documents before and finding nothing about the abnormal information around him, Hall doesn't want to fail this time.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
The young man spoke without much confidence.
However, the action remains efficient.
After the young man left, Hall turned to look at Qin Ran, waiting for the order.
Qin Ran didn't pause, and ordered directly.
"Not only is the number of militia expanded, but you also need to help me bring back a fortune and fifty first-class war horses."
"Saiel, I gave you a chance, I hope you don't let me down."
"Two of you, Snark, Blue, and Wylie, will stay with Vaughn to guard the town, and the remaining one will help Hall bring back what belongs to us."
"Yes, my lord."
Those who were named one by one immediately bowed down.
Then, they all acted in unison.
Only old Bick stood there anxiously.
"My lord, do you want to go to that guy's secret stronghold alone?"
Old Bick asked tentatively.
"of course not."
"It's two people, you and me."
Old Bick heaved a sigh of relief for the first half of the sentence, but the second half of the sentence made Old Bick almost fall to the ground in fright.
"My lord, if this is a joke, it's not funny at all."
"I've never doubted your strength, my lord, but the hidden stronghold is not only heavily guarded, but also very weird. When it appeared, many people thought about it, but they all disappeared in the end, without a sound. No, no one is alive, no one is dead, no dead body."
"My lord, please, I don't want to die so early."
"We can wait for the 'trading day', when it opens, to enter, there is no need to take such a big risk now."
Old Piccolo said almost pleadingly.
"Once a month, the last trading day ended three days ago, it's really too long to wait for the next trading day."
"I don't have that much time."
"You can also choose not to go, I will hang you outside the town now."
Qin Ran said calmly.
But the tone is beyond doubt.
Old Bick looked at Qin Ran sadly and stopped talking.
With the guys who had already been hanged, he knew that Qin Ran could do what he said.
die in a while.
Or die now.
Old Piccolo knew how to choose.
"My lord, when are we going to leave?"
old Bick asked.
"Now."
Qin Ran gave a time.
"Can you wait for me for a while?"
"I need to prepare a few things. Maybe we can use them. Don't worry, they are all things that are not dangerous to you."
"A rooster, a she-cat, and a sheaf of fresh grass."
Old Bick reported three names as he spoke, and immediately, the innkeeper explained: "This is the information I collected at a great price. I originally wanted... hoped that it would be useful."
Old Bick said vaguely.
There was no need to ask, Qin Ran also knew what the other party wanted to do.
It is nothing more than 'black eat black'.
Even though it was a short contact, it was enough for Qin Ran to understand the kind of heart of this dwarf-like innkeeper.
However, Qin Ran was not interested in prying into the heart of an old man with a dark and cunning personality. His attention was attracted when the other party mentioned the so-called secret stronghold earlier.
You know, it's called 'Mishi' there.
