Chapter 38 Bite!
Slave-catching group!
One of the most disgusting existences in the Netheril Empire and even the entire Western Continent.
They are just a bunch of inhuman beasts!
Driven by profit and money, they used violent means to capture humans, barbarians, orcs, half-orcs, half-elves, halflings, and even elves and dwarves.
And, once they get it, they will be given a reasonable slave status.
Then, the arrested persons can be imprisoned openly and transported to various places for sale and distorted transactions.
Sometimes, they conduct horrific and perverted experiments on their prisoners.
Occasionally, various means are used to control the spirit and thinking of the imprisoned, turning them into living tools.
Others will be given to certain dignitaries who can protect them and provide them with greater support.
There is no doubt that the slave-catching group will not appear in Bay Village to capture the fishmen in the Misty Swamp and Silver Moon River.
It must not be for the goblins, kobolds, and jackals in the dark forest.
Not to mention the trolls that are dangerous, ferocious, and don't have much value.
Their goal could only be Bay Village itself!
After learning the news, Butler Ralph was very angry and reported it to Matthew immediately.
This was the first time Matthew had seen Butler Ralph so angry. He had no intention of exploring the story behind it, and just issued the order calmly:
"Where is the prisoner? Bring him here!"
"In addition, call all the soldiers, fully armed, and bring the goods I refined yesterday."
"Issuing a reward to all villagers. Anyone who gives a verified piece of valid information will receive a reward of 10 gold coins."
"Inform old village chief Field, mobilize all rangers and professional hunters, distribute battle scrolls to them, and bite them!"
If you happen to meet him, don't run away!
Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Butler Ralph quickly turned around, mounted a war horse presented by Adam Smith, and ran quickly towards the military camp.
In just two or three minutes, Angela, with a solemn face, came on horseback, fully armed, and her heroic appearance made Rebecca's eyes sparkle.
A man with a bandage on his thigh who looked like a villager was left behind by Angela.
Kahora, human, 32 years old, lawful evil, profession, 2nd level rogue, member of the Blood Hand Slave Catchers.
In order to sneak into Bay Village, Kahola made some disguises, but he never expected that he would be hit by John who was rushing over.
Matthew did not come close and pointed his staff at him:
"One-ring spell - charm humans!"
The light red magic light turned into dots of starlight and fell on Kahora's body.
The level 2 rogue didn't put up much resistance or struggle, and his face became blank.
"How did you get in? Where is your camp?"
Kahora explained everything very obediently:
"It took us more than 10 days to dig a tunnel from the Silver Moon River..."
"Directly north, near the Gnoll camp in the Dark Forest, an isolation area was constructed using magic rune boards..."
After hearing the news, Angela immediately said to the rogue soldiers beside her:
"Notify everyone to gather in the north, form a team of five, and cooperate with Mayor Field to conduct reconnaissance."
After issuing the order, Angela did not leave in a hurry, but stood silently, waiting for Matthew's next arrangement.
Matthew did not blindly prepare to launch an attack just because he had obtained some information about the enemy. Instead, he continued to ask very patiently:
"How many of you are there in total?"
"More than 100..."
"How many tents are there?"
"20……"
"Who is the leader? How strong is he?"
"Kahn the Bloody Hand, a level 10 mid-level warrior!"
"How many wanderers are there?"
"Including me, there are more than 20 people in total..."
"..."
As Matthew inquired bit by bit, the overall situation of the slave-catching group gradually became apparent.
Angela, who was furious just now, seemed quite calm now, and felt a little tricky about the current situation.
There is no other reason than that the opponent is too strong!
There are only more than 30 professionals in Bay Village, plus 100 soldiers who have been training for several days.
The opponent's revealed strength alone is already very powerful.
The leader Kahn is a level 10 mid-level peak warrior.
As the leader of the slave-catching group, he must have a very strong talent, and he is most likely an elite unit with outstanding strength.
Among the more than 100 professionals, the lowest is level 2 auxiliary personnel, and the combat personnel start at least level 4.
Several team captains under Kahn also have the strength of mid-level professionals.
In terms of high-end combat effectiveness, it is better than Bay Village Ming!
The other combatants on the other side dared to brave the disapproval of the world and join the slave-catching group. They were basically outlaws.
When Sweetwater Town was destroyed by the black dragon, the Netherese Empire would definitely send people to check, and they boldly attacked Bay Village, making it clear that they were not afraid of their identity being exposed.
This is also a manifestation of strength!
Either you have the background, you have the strength, or you have both!
Matthew thinks the other party belongs to the latter!
Because Matthew knows them and knows Bloody Kahn!
"The Bloody Slave Catching Group of the Pfizer Caravan, a notorious team in the future!"
"Bloody Hand-Kahn, a future level 25 legendary warrior, is famous for hunting legendary creatures, and is one of the gold medal fighters of the Pfizer Chamber of Commerce."
"Back then, Bloodhand Kahn died at the hands of Icebird Liana, and the players also made considerable contributions at that time."
"I didn't expect that the meeting with an acquaintance would come so quickly!"
Matthew did not pursue blindly. He first arranged for someone to notify Butler Ralph and declare martial law in Bay Village.
"Order all villagers not to leave the village without permission. Select villagers who have performed well these days to form a temporary guard to prevent anyone from approaching!"
Soon, the entire Bay Village became noisy.
Soldiers have gathered at the warehouse to replace new leather armor, weapons, shields, and bows.
More than 10 cart drivers came out pulling four trucks, which contained various weapons and equipment for replacement.
Butler Ralph came here with 200 selected people to distribute equipment. The 10 soldiers brought from the Seer family will assist him in defending the village.
Matthew took Angela and the soldiers who had been training for several days and headed north.
When passing by the Silver Moon River, more than 10 short figures dispersed and jumped into the river with a "plop".
After a while, hundreds of fish-man heads emerged from the river.
Looking at the fish-men all over the river, Matthew felt that cleaning them up was definitely a long and arduous task.
After all, the speed of cleaning up the fishmen is usually not as fast as the speed of their reproduction.
Not far away, the old village chief with a solemn face led people over, came to the carriage and whispered:
"Found them, they're coming!"
