The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 15: Desperate Jon

   The **** band of robbers are here again—

   Jon was almost desperate.

   His thigh was hit by a spherical lead bullet, and the pain caused him to lose his balance instantly and fell to the ground.

   Watching the group of militiamen surrounding him again, he closed his eyes unbearably.

   He knew that he had no power to defeat this group of bandits at all.

   But he can't just watch these robbers steal the truck!

  Because he is the captain of the militia guarding the frozen water port, this is his duty!

  ...Actually, this is also the responsibility of other militias.

   But they are scared.

   The number of their militias is seven or eight times that of the other party. But he was afraid of those bows and two guns and didn't dare to step forward!

   Because everyone is afraid of death. No one wants to be the first.

   So Jon realized that he had to act. Even if one moves you will be knocked down, you must act...

  Because if he doesn't get on, then the militia of the frozen water port will suffer!

   The militiamen in Frozen Water Harbor did not attack at all after seeing the robbers-if such a thing spreads out, others will think that these robbers were raised by themselves. Those caravans can also throw the pot on them and demand compensation from them.

  Even if they can negotiate not to compensate, it will affect the reputation of the frozen water port, and even the reputation of their militia.

   You know, the new lord master is coming soon!

   If they are entangled at this time, the problem will be troublesome!

   Lord Lord will really listen to their explanation? I'm afraid it wasn't because of seeing the price compensation bill that day, I was angry and drove them all out of the militia!

   This is even the best result!

  It's a good thing to not be beheaded!

   This is by no means groundless worry.

  ...Because this is not the first time.

   This group of robbers who don't know where they came from has already looted the frozen water harbor for the second time.

   At the beginning of last month, this group of robbers with rifled guns and many horses came to the Frozen Water Harbor to plunder once.

   At that time, they didn't know the depth... they rushed directly to fight against each other.

   As a result, they paid five lives. The old captain was also shot twice, one in the abdomen and one in the shoulder. Three days later, he died.

   Frozen Water Port is a border city, and only the church of Silver Lord is stationed.

   But it just so happens that the pastors of the Silver Lord are the most greedy pastors of the righteous gods.

   They have no other shortcomings. He is also gentle towards civilians and never oppresses others... But no matter what he does, he is always asking for money.

   For them, everything in the world must be clearly priced-including human lives. They are not even stingy people, because in addition to asking them to collect money, the church of the Silver Lord also requires the priests to spend a lot of money, and does not allow them to keep a lot of cash in their hands for a long time.

   The cost of treating lead bullets is even three to five times that of treating severe limb injuries, and the gunshot wounds on the abdomen are twice as high. With two bullets down, the final medical expenses are enough to make people desperate.

  The old captain didn't pay the money in the end, so he died.

   Then Jon became the new militia captain.

   He felt that the old captain was too bad.

  He shouldn't die here.

   This is simply humiliation—

  The old captain was a veteran of the October War. He has a superb military swordsmanship, twice participated in the war against the Principality of Winter and survived.

   Now the old captain retires and returns to his hometown to serve as the militia captain to train the new militia...Although he is very strict and loves to go crazy after drinking, Jon loves him very much.

   Because Jon also hopes that he can become a frontline soldier.

   So he hopes that the old captain can teach him some "not to be passed on" techniques, and tell him more about his story in the Second Infantry Regiment.

   But every time the old captain heard his request, he finally coaxed his smiling old face and changed his expression, and scolded him without saying a word.

   At first, Jon thought this was the old captain's "secret sword" that he couldn't bear to bear. But then he slowly understood...This was because the captain didn't want him to join the army.

   Since then, his admiration for the old captain fell to the bottom.

   Jon thought he was scared.

  He is not a veteran who has won...but a deserter who fears war.

The thought of    continued until last month.

   Facing the well-equipped robbers, the old captain rushed up first.

  He was in his fifties, holding a sword alone, and stopped three robbers. But the robber had a horse after all, and he was quickly beaten with scars.

   At this time, the militiamen who were shrinking behind had the courage to rush forward, and according to what the old captain had taught, they tried to set up temporary roadblocks against the group of robbers to restrict the movement of the horses.

   But the group of robbers immediately began to retreat and fight, and successfully broke through before the encirclement.

   The last thing that ended the battle was two nightmarish gunshots that entangled Jon's heart. Whenever he had nightmares, he would think of those two shots.

  ...The old captain, after all, is not a big figure with various supernatural abilities in the legend, and he does not know sorcery or magic.

   No matter how subtle his swordsmanship is, it can't be as fast as a bullet.

   He let out a miserable cry that they had never heard before, staggered to the ground, and completely lost his combat effectiveness.

   Those who heard the screams were cold in their hearts.

   But watching the old captain fall in a pool of blood, they are still angry, arousing the blood of the young man—

   They rushed up.

   Then they were defeated.

   Losing the sharp knife of the old captain as the head line, the bandits launched a charge on the spot and completely broke up their formation.

   Even before the horse collided, they backed away to the sides and backwards by themselves.

   They are not without power. They are just timid.

   After the anger burns out, what is left is the residue called fear.

   They didn't dare to step forward until the robber left. Even archers didn't dare to shoot arrows... Those two guns were still pointed at them.

   Although it is impossible for them to kill everyone, they can certainly kill the first two people to draw the bow.

   They just watched the robbers take the things away.

   The robbers did not slaughter them, or even make up for the knife.

   At that time, they just laughed in a low voice, and left without saying a word.

   It is worth mentioning that after the old captain woke up, he seemed to recognize the details of the group of bandits.

   But no matter what Jon asked, he left the world without saying a word and went to Silver Lord.

   In that battle, a total of six militiamen died.

   Two houses were burned down and five trucks were lost, causing great losses.

   Although their city lord has a good temper, he has always been incompetent and weak. After negotiating for a long time, I still paid one-third of the goods payment to the other party and chose to settle the matter.

   Half of these compensation payments were made by the militia.

   Although they lost money, the incident still spread.

   Since then, there has been no large caravan going to the frozen water port for more than a month.

   The noble master of Roseburg next door heard the news and claimed that they would send someone to suppress the bandits soon. But until now I have seen people come.

   Later, I heard that they would also come to a nobleman in Frozen Water Harbor, and his father had a higher rank than the Viscount of Roseburg—At this time, caravans came one after another. The main purpose was to give a gift to the little earl. I heard that he hadn't arrived yet, so disappointed he bought something and left.

   This incident has had a very bad impact on the economy of Frozen Water Port.

   After the ban on trade with the Principality of Winter in recent years, the formerly prosperous frozen water port has gradually become a backwater port. It is completely dependent on internal transactions.

   They were originally at the northernmost end of the border, the end of various trade routes. No caravan will pass by them.

   Without foreign trade with the Principality of Winter, Frozen Water Port can be considered self-sufficient. At least they have a big fishing ground.

   Not only food is enough, UU reading www. uukanshu. Com and can also accumulate some pearls to supply inland. Some of the rarer pearls are consumables for the wizard masters, so they sell quickly.

   is usually accumulated for a period of time, and then together with pearls and shellfish handmade products, and some rare fish to sell to the team.

   In the last looted truck, there was a carriage full of two boxes of pearls and a box of precious blood-soaked pearls.

   And this time in the truck, there is another batch of pearls, the value is even higher than last time!

  The common point of these two times is that neither of them has a reliable caravan guard. Last time their guards were chopped to the ground as soon as they met each other, this time it was even more ridiculous-they haven't woken up yet.

   Even though Jon was stupid, he realized that something was wrong.

   Those caravans with normal security guards have never been robbed in person in the city! Even if it is looted by robbers, it must be a looting... How can anyone rush into the city and demolish the house and rob, but it doesn't kill anyone?

   What's more, these robbers came twice in total.

   are also dedicated to these big caravans...

   Jon is short of breath. A large number of suspicious characters flashed through his mind for a moment, but they were not sure who they were.

   His brain was not good at first, but now it is even more painful and completely confused.

   All he knows is that if the militias stand on the sidelines again, they will lose money again. And this time I will definitely lose more.

   They can't afford it anymore!

   Even if I die—

   At least this can prove that the militia did not stand idly by! Their captain even died in battle...

   "—Who are you?"

   At this moment, Jon heard a naive and majestic voice sounded: "Why are you plundering my people here!"
