While he was thinking, a pirate came in. He was a scout, specializing in investigating the movements of passing caravans or armies. His coming in now meant that there was new intelligence.

Could it be that the Fifth Corps has arrived? Jeffrey suddenly thought.

"Chief, we found a caravan in the woods near Felchen. They carried a lot of food, but they only had a dozen people. This is a rare opportunity."

The pirate scout instigated his leader to rob the caravan. Due to the recent food shortage, their daily meals were only half of what they used to have. This situation had long made the gang dissatisfied.

Now that there is a chance to change their food, of course they hope that their leader will go robbing.

"Don't worry yet, call Judson and Hull over to me."

Jeffrey first decided to call his trusted subordinates to discuss the matter. Now is an extraordinary period and they have to be careful about everything.

When the scouts found out, they left immediately, and then a few burly men walked in.

Jeffrey saw that the first person to come in was Judson, who was his most trusted subordinate, and the second person was Hull. Like Judson, he was a subordinate Jeffrey trusted. The rest were captains, who were the backbone members of the bandit group.

"Our scouts discovered a merchant caravan with a large amount of food and only a small number of guards, although the Nord Kingdom has already sent troops to suppress the bandits.

But we have very little food left, so we can consider taking the goods and food from this caravan. What do you think?" Jeffrey asked tentatively.

"I don't think this will work. If we attack now, it will definitely attract the attention of the Nord army. It's better to wait until the storm has passed." Hull spoke first. He was unwilling to take the risk.

Despite what he said, some people still came out to oppose it.

"No, we can't just stay here and starve to death. We have to go out and rob. Robbery won't necessarily be discovered by the army, but if we don't go out we will definitely starve to death," said Judson.

In fact, it is not certain that they will starve to death. Their base is close to the sea, and these pirates can catch fish to satisfy their hunger. Of course, if they go out, they may be discovered and attract the attention of the army.

However, Judson was a traitor to the Flying Snakes, and he was ready to instigate these pirates to rob.

"It seems that Judson's opinion is the same as mine." Jeffrey said to Judson. He actually wanted to go out and rob. Being the leader of pirates, he was certainly fearless. He was not afraid of the attack of the army.

"How about this, Judson and I go out together, and Hull, you guys stay here." Jeffrey gave the order.

Seeing Jeffrey's expression, Hull knew that Jeffrey must go out to rob. He sighed helplessly in his heart, hoping that this looting would not attract the attention of the army.

Wals didn't bring a horse with him. There was a forest nearby, so it was better to fight on foot than on horseback. He looked at the sword in his hand, which was a one-handed sword. It was ordinary in shape and slightly damaged, but it was sharper than his rusty sword.

This is the weapon Kaiser gave himself.

Your sword can hardly pierce the pirate's armor. This sword is given to you. It may save your life at a critical moment.

These words were said by Kaiser, who was now resting with himself in the same place.

In fact, this is to conserve energy and wait for the arrival of the pirates. For Walth and his group, it is to conserve physical strength and prepare to escape. With only these simple equipments, they will only become the victims of the pirates.

We still have to rely on these professional troops when fighting.

The weather was sunny at this time, but this bright sunshine could not dispel everyone's fear. Of course, only some people were afraid.

Kaiser was staring at the bright blade of his one-handed combat axe, knowing that it would soon be coated in blood.

Owens was quietly watching the Nordic Royal Guard. He was a Nord and of course he hoped that he could become a Nordic Royal Guard. He also wanted to be like Kaiser.

As for Ailen, he looked at the forest in the distance, where a team of Nord ambushes were waiting for the arrival of the enemy. Wals did not tell a few people about this plan.

He just told his men to run away when the pirates arrived, but running away was a shame for a noble, although many people no longer retain this tradition.

On the other side, Jenks held his hunting bow tightly, hesitating whether he should stay and kill a few pirates. He also hoped to be praised by the villagers like Walls.

As for the others, they had already prepared to escape. Their purpose was simple: to escape when the pirates came. They didn't know the plan, but they knew that many pirates would appear soon, too many for them to defeat, so they prepared to escape.

At this moment, a burly figure suddenly appeared on a small hill not far away. Someone shouted, "Pirates are coming," and everyone looked around.

Just then, a group of pirates armed with round shields and axes rushed down from the hill.

Run, run quickly, this sentence immediately appeared in everyone's mind. Then a group of people immediately started to move forward.

"Why don't you leave?" Kaiser said to the four people who remained there.

"I want to take a few trophies," Walls said.

"I don't want to run away." This is what Airen said.

"I want to be like you." Owens said what he was thinking directly.

Jenks' idea seemed simple, "I want to kill some pirates."

Hearing what the four men said, Kaiser smiled. "Very good, then let's chop down these scumbags."

De La Serre sneered mercilessly: "What a bunch of fools, what foolish ideas..."

[System prompt: You were similar before, right? The pot calling the kettle black! ]

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the footsteps of a group of people approaching rapidly.

Geoffrey had seen most of the caravan flee, but five remained.

But there are only five people, what does that matter?

He noticed a warrior who was fully armed.

Nord Royal Guard? Was it because of him that these four people did not flee? His scout also told him that there was a fully armed person, it seems to be him. But can this one person fight against forty of us?

Seeing victory in sight, Jeffrey thought that this Nordic royal guard had retired and became a mercenary for this small caravan. Only three of the four remaining people in the caravan wore chain armor, and their combat effectiveness was simply not comparable to that of his subordinates.

At least twenty of his subordinates were wearing chain armor.

He himself was wearing the most luxurious equipment, and in the eyes of the pirates he was already a very rich man.

Jeffrey was wearing a well-crafted set of long-sleeved chain mail, chain leggings, a gladiator helmet on his head, and a battle axe in both of his hands. The battle axe could easily cut through the chain mail. Ordinary armor was just a piece of wood in front of him.

Not only that, he also carried a bag of short javelins on his back, which he could use to pierce the enemy's head when the enemy approached.

His most trusted subordinate, Judson, was also wearing chain mail, leash guards, and holding a one-handed battle axe and round shield.

Jeffrey believed that he could kill all of them. Nord Royal Guards? He was not afraid!

"Kill them and take away all their food."

After hearing these words, the pirates ran faster. They were not afraid. These people were lambs and soon their blood would stick to their axes and swords.

"Swoosh" Jenks shot one of his arrows, hitting a pirate in the chest. His speed slowed down, but he was wearing chain armor and the distance was a bit far.

This resulted in him taking less damage, so he didn't die, but only suffered minor injuries.

"My bow is not powerful enough." Jenks said as he shot another arrow.

The same arrow also hit the pirate, but due to the pirate's equipment, the pirate was only slightly injured. If Jenks replaced it with a more powerful bow, the effect would be different.

"You should step back first. It's better for you to use the bow and arrow from behind." Walls said to Jenks.

Jenks nodded, he knew where his position as an archer was. As soon as Jenks left, he heard a loud roar in his ear.

"You scumbag in front, stretch your neck for me."

The sound scared away all the birds in the forest and also frightened the pirates on the opposite side.

"This swear word is very artistic. I want to learn it." At this time, De Lassel, who was watching, liked it very much.

[System prompt: That’s right, it’s much more sophisticated than your old-fashioned line “This mountain is mine!”]

The next moment, a loud noise sounded all around.

"What's going on?" The pirate leader Jeffrey heard the noises around him. He looked around and was immediately frightened.

A group of Nord soldiers appeared from all directions at some point.

"Quick, quick, retreat quickly." Although he didn't know the exact number of Nord soldiers in this group, Jeffrey believed that they must be more than his own people. No matter what, it was always right to retreat first.

Jeffrey, who was so high-spirited just now, now looks like a defeated puppy.

Jeffrey wanted to escape, but Walls would not let them escape. Kaiser, Aileyon, Owens and Jenkins would not let them escape either. Not only would they not let them escape, but the Nord soldiers who hated the bandits would not let them escape either.

"Kill all these guys," the Nord soldiers shouted.
