Chapter 109 – Kill Bandits Under Fury! (1/2)
Chapter 109: Kill bandits under fury!
Valley of the Red Devils. Sha Village.
The name Sha Village sounds ordinary and simple, but to escorting guards pa.s.sing by and traveling merchant it seems like thunder piercing the ear.
Because it is also one of the main bases of desert bandits.
Not sure when it started, the people from all regions of the desert began to gather at this side. The population grew rapidly but because of the limited resources and infertile land, they began to drain their mind to solve this huge population issue.
When a highly intelligent rogue focused on the merchant road in the Valley of the Red Demons and he proposed his plan to his people, the clan members were briefly short of breath and their face flushed.
“Yes, let's do it—-those living on a mountain live off the mountain, those living near the water live off the water, we rely on the Valley of the Red Devils, Valley of the Red Devils is our territory—–”
“Those merchants are unscrupulous businessman; they are extremely rich but they never thought of sharing their wealth——”
“We're not going to kill them, just steal their goods—-For my children, I'm willing to commit any sins——”
——
As a result, an organisation of bandits with the catchphrases 'fairness and justice' and 'to rob the rich to help the poor' was born.
The guy first to propose the plan served as their leader, other people also responded enthusiastically to become a member of the organisation.
Riding stolen horses and brandis.h.i.+ng sabres purchased from foreign lands, they have scourge the trading of the kingdom for thousands of years.
Li Muyang stood atop the lookout tower high above the center of the village, staring coldly at the lively and bustling atmosphere within Sha Village.
Teams of bandits clad in black clothing and draped with a black robe were dragging in both large and small bloodstained carts; without the time to clean the carts, some carts were still carrying parts of the heads or ears. There were also groups of bandits cloaked in a black robe wiping their sabres ready to head out. They are the most experienced hunters of the Valley of the Red Devils, preparing to go to their familiar hunting ground.
They laughed, talked cheerfully, and greeted each other affectionately.
“Hey, not bad harvest today—-is there any wine? I'll exchange some of the finest silks for it.”
“Zhao Sifang, you son of a dog- you took a woman again—-how many wives do you have? Today I will pay you fifty gold coins for this one—What? One hundred? The dog ate your conscience? What woman is worth so much money? Is she made of gold?”
“Boss Meng Ji, you are so generous every time, our team can never be compared to you——”
——
Inside Sha Village were old men smoking tobacco with a long-stemmed pipe, healthy middle-aged men, and teenagers of a similar age to Gan Liang.
They did not have any feelings of guilt, they saw robbing as a legitimate business, an occupation that had been pa.s.sed on for thousands of years.
They need to stay alive!
To stay alive, is the most primitive justification to resort to evil.
“Boss Red Beard brought hundreds of people out today, most likely they would bring back many batches of goods—–Brothers, we may have to work hard today. Or they would laugh at us.” A scar-faced man yelled from the back of a horse, smiling and encouraging his brothers.
“Don't worry boss Hu, we may not be as good as boss Red Beard but other teams are not as good as us—–” A black-robed young man enthusiastically replied.
The moment Li Muyang caught sight of a group of men in black turning and mounting their horse in one lithe movement and then under the command of their leader pushed through the door, Li Muyang also moved.
He leaped down from the lookout tower, then in midair his sword was pulled free of its sheath.
Chi—–
In one slas.h.i.+ng stroke he severed the railings of the lookout tower.
The heavy railing fell forward, crus.h.i.+ng the gate of Sha Village.
Crash—
The wooden door was smashed into little fragments, causing bandits sitting atop horses to flee in panic.
A deep heavy sound echoed across the lands, everyone in the village became startled.
An old man smoking tobacco tossed aside the long pipe, grasped the hilt of a sabre and raced towards Li Muyang.
The middle-aged man haggling with a clan member to buy a woman for sixty coins, stared with a dangerous gleam in his eye and then also dashed over in the direction of Li Muyang.
Some young children immediately grabbed a dagger from some place and scampered towards Li Muyang, grinding their teeth and clenching their jaw tight.
There were also some women and girls who looked like they lack the strength to truss up a chicken—-but they all have a hidden pair of scissors and some grabbed hold of a bow and arrow.
They were also of the Sha Village and accomplices of the desert bandits.
Flowing through their body was the blood of bandits. They were fed and grew up on human blood and stolen goods
Li Muyang stood in Sha Village Central Square, the place where bandits divide up the stolen goods or women and sort out equipment to prepare to go into 'battle'.
His cold gaze wandered across the crowd, people gathering from all sides.
“If you guys don't enter h.e.l.l, who will?”
