Chapter 153 The Simple Captive
Chapter 153 The Simple Captive
After the speed of light resolved the battle, in addition to dozens of corpses, Li Fan and the others also got 43 mercenary prisoners.
These captives are actually not easy to use, because Li Fan does not have a restraint collar.
In this case, someone had to be sent to watch over these captives.
However, after questioning these captives, Li Fan was pleasantly surprised to know that they still had a support team.
Moreover, the logistics team is only a dozen miles away from the valley, and they will follow up after these vanguard troops clean up the monsters that may exist in the valley.
But they didn't expect that the monster was not wiped out, but they were wiped out by Li Fan and the others instead.
Li Fan immediately led the people to chase in the direction pointed by the mercenary.
Of course, Li Fan also kept an eye out and asked Ying to investigate the situation of the logistics team first.
After confirming that it was not an ambush, he led people to surround the so-called logistics team.
As expected of a logistics team, except for three first-level fighters, the entire team is actually ordinary people.
After killing the three eyeless level 1 fighters, Li Fan got another 200 ordinary prisoners.
In addition, there are a lot of materials.
These people also seem to know that it is not easy to get food in the current sin forest, so they brought a whole 100,000 catties of wheat.
The wheat was loaded on donkey carts, pulled by 150 donkeys.
Li Fan found that there were 5 different symbols printed on the sacks containing wheat. According to a prisoner, each symbol was the family emblem of a nobleman, and the wheat was jointly funded by 5 minor nobles.
Otherwise, how could ordinary people scrape together 100,000 catties of wheat in the winter just after the Year of God's Retribution.
Li Fan doesn't care if it belongs to the nobles or not. Now they just have some food shortages. The wheat belongs to the Heavenly King Lao Tzu, and he wants to take it away.
The same goes for those donkeys. Donkeys are good things, they can be used to help with work, and they are the best food when food is scarce.
After all, dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat in the ground, the deliciousness of this donkey meat is not for nothing.
In addition, there are still hundreds of pieces of clothing and hundreds of catties of salt in the supplies.
Among all the items, the most precious thing is the salt. If you sell a few hundred catties of salt, it will cost you dozens of gold coins.
However, for Li Fan, table salt is the least attractive.
It is impossible for Li Fan to be short of salt now. When he needs it, he can go to the salt mine and get hundreds of catties.
In fact, after becoming the lord, he told the incident to several close people around him.
After Anna and Aoki Baiqi knew about it, apart from feeling incredible, they didn't have any dissatisfaction.
It is Li Fan's ability to filter table salt from poisonous salt, just like dwarves can forge iron blocks into sharp weapons.
Could it be that dwarven weapons can only be sold for the price of a piece of iron?
Since Li Fan has this ability, it is normal to use this ability to get paid.
The orcs at that time really needed salt, and the relationship between the two parties was completely mutually beneficial.
...
Up to now, even Anna and the others are too lazy to look at the hundreds of catties of salt.
Unless the salt can be exchanged for gold coins immediately, these salts are not even as important as those hundreds of pieces of clothes.
Don't underestimate these linen clothes.
It was hard for outsiders to imagine that there were nearly 300 people in their tri-ethnic mixed group, but only a few dozen former slaves had linen clothes to wear.
As for the rest of the people, including Anna and the others, they all wore animal skin clothes.
Anyone who knows a little bit about animal skins knows that if the animal skins have not been professionally treated, the smell on them can make you doubt your life, and even if it has been professionally treated and not cleaned frequently, it will still leave a smell that makes you doubt your life.
At this point, even women like Anna and the others are no exception.
One can imagine how precious these linen clothes are.
It is precisely because of this situation that Li Fan wants to start trading quickly.
...
Seeing so many good things, Li Fan naturally unceremoniously took them all back with the donkey and the cart.
With the addition of these 200 people, the number of people in the valley has almost doubled.
However, at this time, the 200 captives were extremely panicked.
Many of them are civilians in the noble territory, and they had no choice but to go to the sinful town under the orders of the nobles.
The purpose is to facilitate the nobles and mercenaries to complete the transaction.
However, they did not expect that they were captured as soon as they arrived near the sinful town.
When they thought that they might become someone else's slaves, their faces turned pale.
Seeing this, Li Fan did not intend to let these innocent people go.
He needs a lot of manpower now, since these ordinary people are supposed to stay in the sinful town, then Li Fan naturally wants to keep them.
Of course, Li Fan won't really turn them into slaves.
He was just thinking of a way to make all these people stay willingly.
Soon Li Fan had an idea.
Li Fan first summoned these people, and then immediately asked Hui Yu to prepare a lot of delicacies.
All kinds of delicacies were distributed to these captives.
At first they refused to eat. After all, who has just been captured has the mood to eat.
However, they were soon overwhelmed by the aroma of delicious food.
After trying one by one, I couldn't stop immediately.
Li Fan walked forward with a smile on his face until these guys were so overwhelmed that they couldn't move.
"Everyone, I am the lord here. Just now, your partners, those 80 mercenaries attacked my territory, that's why I caught everyone."
"Of course, I also know that you are innocent, but several of my men died in that attack and a lot of them were injured. I am facing a huge loss, so naturally I cannot let you go easily."
"So, I have a proposal now. You stay and work for me. During this period, we will provide you with food and shelter. As long as you work for us for half a year, you can stay as you like."
"I don't know what you guys think?"
Li Fan spoke half-truth, trying to put himself on the reasonable side, which can effectively reduce the hostility of these prisoners.
At this moment, he looked at the prisoner in front of him.
Those people who originally thought they were going to become slaves were overjoyed when they heard that they could no longer be slaves.
And thinking that as long as you work, you can continue to eat the delicious food just now, each one is even more moved.
As for working for half a year, it's better than being a slave.
In the end, there was no doubt that all 200 people agreed.
Many people were even thankful that they met such a "kind" lord as Li Fan, who was so friendly to them "invaders", so they all felt grateful to Li Fan.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining 1 point bond value of the human race, and the talent of the human race is increased by 01]

...
Listening to the system's notification tone, Li Fan couldn't help grinning, looking at these 'simple' captives in front of him, the more satisfied he looked.
"Since you stayed for a while, prepare to stay forever!"
