Chapter 38 Sudden Attack
Richard isolated the sick slaves and used minor injury treatment techniques on the seriously ill ones every day.
Because there were so many sick people, Richard could only try to treat the young and strong ones who had greater hope of cure.
Treatment techniques can leverage mysterious magic factors, increase the patient's vitality, and suppress the attack of the plague virus.
As long as they are treated with healing techniques, strong sick slaves can basically survive the difficulties and save their lives.
In order to treat one more person, Richard even risked mental exhaustion, headaches and coma to cast spells to treat minor injuries six times a day.
In more than a month, about a thousand sick slaves were bought by Richard.
More than 300 of these slaves died, more than 200 were cured by Richard, and the remaining 500 slaves basically relied on their own immunity to recover.
Counting the families of the sick slaves, there are already about 2,000 slaves in Richard's hands.
Entering the morning light in late February 3253, the plague was slowly ending.
The blockade of the slave market camp has also been lifted, and the troops on mission are also preparing to return to the royal capital.
After deciding to purchase a sick slave, Richard wrote a letter to his father William and entrusted his uncle Thoros to take them away.
After Soros returned to Black River Fort, he handed the slaves to Mrs. Ola and Powell for resettlement, and then gave the letter to William.
After reading the letter, William went to the legion headquarters to take a long leave, recruited some capable people, and together with the Soros mercenary group, quietly left the Black River Fort and came to the royal capital.
By the time William and Soros had already connected with Richard. With the protection of his own people, Richard immediately decided to leave Nolan and return to the fiefdom.
After Richard left with a large number of slaves, a dozen slave traders gathered in secret and discussed taking action against Richard.
"Richard left today, and there is no garrison to protect him. When will we start?"
"Really want to take action? Richard is a hereditary nobleman. If we kill the nobleman
, we will be in trouble." "This boy is just a newly promoted border nobleman and has few connections in the royal capital. As long as we clean up the matter, no one will pursue him at all. Even if there is some trouble in the future, if we take some gold coins and put them away, we can easily suppress this matter with the energy behind us." "
Although this kid is young and can release a ring of magic, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with."
"I'm looking for someone . After reading the canonization documents of the Harland family, Richard is only seventeen years old, and his professional level should not be high. Even if he is a spell caster, our dozen or so chambers of commerce combined can dispatch hundreds of professionals at one time, not to mention Richard , even if the Harland family combined, they are no match at all."
"This guy is on guard against us. Some new faces have come to the camp in the past few days. He must have hired mercenaries for protection." "They are
just mercenaries, who will come out? Who does the work with the money? As long as we pay more, the mercenaries will probably defect on the spot. Besides, with the power in our hands, are we afraid of a few mercenaries?" "McGee is right, the number of slaves in
Richard's hands is There are already more than 2,000 people. Even if more than half of them are old and weak, the value is more than 10,000 gold coins. I am tempted by such a huge fortune anyway. Even if you don't take action, McGee and I will join forces to do it." "Qiao
Sen. That's right. No matter what decision you make, our two families have decided to join forces. Byers, you are the strongest in the camp, what are your plans?" "
The nobles of Northern Xinjiang are all our long-term customers. Murdering the nobles will make The honor of the Fender family has been brought to shame, and I have no intention of getting involved in this matter. But please rest assured, I swear on the honor of the Fender family that what happened today will never be leaked from my mouth." Byers said this
, This immediately caused some hesitant slave traders to retreat.
Murdering a noble is a very serious crime. Once exposed, the nobles who support the Chamber of Commerce will be implicated.
Many slave merchants in the camp have limited authority and dare not make their own decisions on such important matters.
Mikey and Qiaoson looked at each other. They were both illegitimate sons of nobles. Although he is also a slave merchant, his authority is much greater than that of his peers.
The two of them joined forces with three other slave traders, gathered more than 300 people, quietly left the camp, and followed Richard's team.
This group was headed by McGee and Qiaoson and consisted of more than ten professionals. Although their equipment was average, their combat effectiveness was not weak. McGee and Qiao Sen were very decisive and planned to take action before Richard left the sparsely populated mountainous area.
Taking advantage of the late night, McGee mobilized the elite, said a few words to boost morale, and immediately launched an attack on the camp.
Johnson took the weaker soldiers and prepared to capture the slaves.
"Get into formation!"
"Raise your shields!"
McGee carefully directed more than a hundred soldiers and issued orders one after another.
As soon as he approached the sentry, two arrows were fired suddenly.
The bowstrings made a crisp sound, and the arrows made a loud sound in the sky.
In the blink of an eye, two people fell down next to Mikey.
These two people were actually professionals, and they died so easily under the sneak attack of arrows.
Mikey couldn't help but show a look of astonishment on his face, and then gradually turned into a look of shock.
He never expected that there would be two sharp archers hidden in the camp.
It can accurately shoot professionals with only the faint moonlight at night when you can't see anything at all.
Such archers are very rare even in the royal capital. As long as you join the army, you must have at least the rank of captain and the position of squadron leader.
Seeing that the sneak attack had been exposed, Mikey roared, the muscles in his body began to swell, and he immediately used the power rage spell.
Although Mikey is just an illegitimate child, he has very good blood talents.
His father, Baron Joseph, planned to train him to be an officer, but he did not expect that McGee got drunk and beat his comrade to death.
Although he saved his life by relying on the influence of the baron, he also lost his future and could not develop in the army.
After this incident passed, McGee could only become a dishonorable slave trader, doing dirty work for the Joseph family and becoming a hidden killer.
McGee is just thirty years old and is already a fourth-level knight. Relying on the power of his blood, he is more difficult to deal with than a fifth-level professional.
After using the power rage spell, McGee's strength increased by about five points.
In an instant, McGee's strength exceeded 20 points.
I saw him running a few steps, crossing a hundred meters in just five or six seconds, and rushed to the entrance of the camp.
Seeing McGee rushing over, William jumped up with his heavy sword and struck McGee hard.
William is already a sixth-level professional, and his talent is also very outstanding. He is a natural warrior. His strength has reached 19 points, which is enough to compete with McGee, and other physical attributes are even better than McGee.
William has been in the army for many years and is proficient in the basic swordsmanship of the Grant Kingdom. He has also practiced the crow swordsmanship, the shield wall technique of the Northern Army and other skills.
His abilities suppressed McGee in almost all aspects.
The two had just fought, and Richard already knew that his enemy was no match for William.
