The bandits, some bruised or fractured, but not seriously wounded like life-threatening, were all tied up.
After interrogating the leader and others, this bandit was still an ordinary bandit, regardless of the large bandits in the example. The number of carriages on the streets recently dropped dramatically, and most of them were large merchants who hired many escorts. They jumped with small merchants with no escorts for a long time and a rich girl.
"... you should kill him!
"Uh-huh..."
And now there was a discussion about the treatment of the bandits captured.
"Even though it's still over a day and a half to the city, it'll be a hassle to take these guys with you. We can't afford to put him in the carriage, and if we let him walk, he'll be late and he won't be able to reach Amros by tomorrow. Plus, they could take the rope off in the middle of the night and scratch your sleeping neck...
Sure, if you take me to the city, I'll get some of the money I sold as a criminal slave in addition to the bounty, but I'm not in the middle of an important job right now. Why don't you just take your neck and just get your bounty!
Lena, who insists so strongly, and the bandits who tremble when they hear it.
"No, but I don't know... Anyway, if you're in battle, I'd say you kill them after you capture them and disable them.
My fellow thieves are coming after me, so don't hesitate to kill me... "
Burt wanted to take him alive, whether he didn't want to kill for no reason, or whether his share in selling him as a criminal slave was hard to throw away.
In the end, it was to be decided by a majority vote, with twelve escorts and four merchants. He is the outcast.
The result was' Take It Alive 'on a nine-to-seven basis.
What was surprising was that all the warm-looking merchants raised their hands to 'kill', but if you think about it, it might be natural. A lot of 'taking' to hunters didn't mean there were a lot of fraternists apart, just that, if there was no danger, it would be better to be a little more fruitful.
And the bandits were treated by Pauline and Miles only in areas where walking was hindered, while the rest remained untreated to reduce the danger at all. I intend to treat him when handing him over to the government constitution in Amros. That way, the value won't drop when you are sold as a criminal slave after an investigation and sentencing, and if you succeed, you may be paid for separate treatments.
On the move, only the head was tied up and in the carriage, each of the other six tied his hands, roped around his neck and connected to one carriage at a time. If you don't want to walk, your neck will be squeezed. It was entrusted to the free choice of the person, whether to walk or become a corpse and be drawn. This prevents me from deliberately walking slowly and buying time. One by one for each carriage, of course, does not seem to be able to be masterful with each other or to make verbal contact with each other before the investigation.
By the way, it was Pauline who suggested this method.
Four of the "Red Vows" stopped sitting on your podium and all were on carriage number four, just as they did when the Wang capital left. The outfit remains hunter-equipped.
And the atmosphere for the four of us wasn't very good.
"Lena, why did you try to use lethal magic then? All the other bandits were powerless, and there would have been plenty of room. From an information-gathering point of view, there shouldn't have been any need to use that kind of magic against the boss there. Lena would have used as much magic to capture him?
"Because I don't need to keep you alive. Bandits, you don't know when to betray me with pity, and I've killed and murdered serious people before, so you can't complain because it's your turn, can you?
To Mavis' words, Lena answered with a swell.
"No, not after being powerless, no matter if it's in battle. The reward will be properly received if handed over to the official constitution. Is the" first murder "that Lena wanted us to experience unilaterally killing an irresistible opponent?
…………
Lena to silence.
"... obsessed with killing captured bandits, or not like the usual Mr. Lena! Is something wrong, with the bandits..."
To Pauline's words, Lena, who had been silent for a while, grumbled with a small voice.
"... I did..."
"Huh?"
"They killed me! My father, my people, they were all killed by bandits!
And Lena started telling everyone at the party about her past.
Lena was the daughter of a pedestrian.
It was already a day of travelling from city to city and from village to village in a single carriage with his father when he was tempted. I don't remember my mother.
Lena, whose life was convenient and had just about intermediate magic power with the lower magician, was able to get as much water out as the horses and ourselves needed, and set fire to it.
"It would help if Lena were here."
"Eh heh..."
Not wealthy, but not so poor, the journey of the two fathers and daughters in business was quite enjoyable. Is this life over when you save money and set up a shop in the city, or when Lena goes to her wife...
But that time came suddenly.
It was when Lena was ten. During the trip to the next village, a loud voice was suddenly heard from the father of your station by Lena, who was resting in the front of the carrier.
"Bandits! Dive in between the loads and hide!
Lena hastily dived into the gap between its loads in Gyu-gyu's carriage at the sale. It was not the first time I had been attacked by bandits, a long business life.
I don't think a bandit, a pedestrian who can't hire a escort with one carriage, has a lot of money, and robbing villagers of pots and farm tools and stuff, there's no way to redeem them just because they're stubborn. Normally such things are missed without aim and aimed at more lucrative prey.
Sometimes, however, there are bandits who are having trouble with the extra money or who also have their hands on carriages that are unlikely to make extra money. In that case, if you give them cash in hand, they are often not handed out to carriages or loads. Not too much damage from bandits increases the chances that crusaders will be formed so much, because it would be more profitable for the bandits to make money and go this way again than to take a load that won't even be gold. Even if the cash is taken away, it's not that hard to rebuild the business if the carriage and the sale are safe.
So his father wasn't so pessimistic about the bandit raid either. It was bad luck that we had met several times before, and this time, the idea was just that the number of times that bad luck had increased.
But this time the bandit was in an excessively chopped state, or it was a bad tach.
"You're kidding me! This is the only way!
"That being said, sales will be turned to purchasing in that city...... We both eat at that slight difference, so much of the money in hand..."
"You know what? We need money!
I don't know how, assuming I get all the golden eye stuff and food in the load... Hey! "
With that said, the head of the foursome bandit instructed his men to fish the carrier.
"No, please don't! When the goods are wasted, the business…"
His father tried desperately to stop Lena from being found, but of course the bandits couldn't possibly follow those words. Some time after my men went up to the carrier and began to pick up gold objects from inside the load, I heard screams from inside the carrier.
"No! Stop it!
And Lena being dragged down from the carrier.
"Come on, don't get violent!
A head with a slight laugh when he sees Lena seized by his men.
"You have the right thing," Golden Eyed Thing "..."
"No, please don't! My daughter is only ten years old!
"Don't worry, I'll make you look right cute... After that, we can live happily in some noble or rich place, as slaves. Hiccup!"
But at that time, I hung my men in a hurry on my laughing head.
"Oh, my head! Oh, that!
"What the..."
When a head watered where he was in a good mood and laughing looked in the direction his men pointed to something......
"Hey, Hunter!
There were four hunters running all they could to help the carriage being attacked by bandits.
There was no reason for those who fell into banditry without being able to stand up as a single hunter to be enemies of the same number of active hunters. Moreover, the Hunter side included those who appeared to be magicians.
The hunters were motivated to come, though they didn't know if it was from the heart of the martial arts or from the hunt for a bandit's neck. Lena, the father, the daughter, and the bandits who were distracted by load-fishing seemed pretty slow to notice.
"Shit, we're getting away! Take my daughter!
On the instructions of the head, the men trying to get up the lana they were holding down.
But when she found out it would help if she bought a little more time, Lena shook off that gap and rolled under the carriage.
"Oh, shit, you bastard..."
Although his men rushed to pull him out from under the carriage, Lena was disappointingly clinging to the axle with both hands and feet, and could hardly pull him off in an unstable and powerless position, no matter how much adult power. As we do that, the hunters are getting closer and closer.
"Little girl! You don't care what happens to your father!
I heard a yelling head. I didn't see that in the lana under the carriage, but I could easily imagine it. Perhaps his father has a sword poked at him.
"If you're not going to come out..., here's the thing!
But I can't hear a sound or a voice.
"Son of a bitch, I won't let my daughter scream, you know... Then how about this!
"Gu, gu..."
Now you just couldn't stand it, father leaking the groan of pain.
"No, don't! I'm leaving, I'm leaving!
"No, Lena, don't leave! Don't leave, Gu Ah!
Lena, who crawled out from under the carriage impatiently by her father's distressed voice, was caused by a bandit's men grabbing her arm.
"Father!"
The moment Lena screamed when she saw her father, who had fallen to the ground and had been stabbed with a sword on his right shoulder and had been decided to wander around.
"All right, all right. Now you're done with him. Later, so that the magician can get a hold of this guy..."
The head stabbed Lena's father in the stomach this time with a sword removed from his shoulder.
"Grr..."
After he defied his body, Bikun lost his strength from his father's body.
"Well, screwed up? Are you fucking dead... Well, that'll deflect you!
"" "Heh!
"Father!
Lena waved her hands and feet desperately and scratched the bandit's face.
"It hurts, this, don't ramble, be quiet......, ooh!
Kick up the belly of one of the bandits.
"Guh!"
My toes stuck in my lower abdomen.
"What the fuck! Hurry up, they..., whoops!
Hin!
An arrow plucked his head cheek.
Leave your men alone, the leader who is on the run with all his might.
"Ah, head!
Noticed that, let go of the hand that was grabbing Lena, and the three men who move on to escape as well.
"Father, Father!
To Lena, who persisted, his father shook his last strength and held Lena's hand, spinning his words.
"Lena, be happy..., and your father and your mother, you..."
That was the last word, and his hand fell to the ground powerless.
"Father, come on!
The hunters, who finally reached the carriage, showered the fleeing bandits with attack magic and bows and arrows, three pursuing as they were and one staying on the spot.
"Are you all right! Are you hurt?"
"Your father! Your father!"
A staying magician-like man immediately examined his father's condition, but he shook his head in silence.
"Oh, Father..."
After a while, the three of them who were going after him came back.
Of the four bandits, two were put on hold. He was wounded by arrows and attack magic and was slow to escape. The other two apparently managed to escape, although the two retained him. But it was fortunate that one of the men who had been put on hold was the head.
"Without me...... Besides, if I had bought more time without getting out of the carriage..."
The four hunters, "Red Lightning," were silently stroking their heads at Lena, who repeatedly cried.
