Chapter 280 The Bandit's Rules

By the time Roger arrived at the scene, Pallanti had captured the last escaped robbers.It took her only 36 seconds to kill the bandits, but it took her 5 minutes to drag their bodies back into line.In such a short time, the leaders of all parties have received the news, and they have gathered around.

The poisonous widow herself is not good at force, so she does not appear on the front line of the battlefield.But as the most notorious intelligence dealer in Brown Earth Hills, she got the news immediately and rushed over.Seeing that her precious daughter was fine, the woman with frosty and murderous face softened immediately, and thanked Er repeatedly with a frightened expression on her chest. When she showed her pitiful side, she did not Forget subtly revealing your voluptuous figure.

Then came Thomas the Golden Hand. He was able to become famous in the brown hills, and he also relied on his brains rather than his muscles.Different from the poisonous widow's deliberate weakness, the golden hand showed the prudence and prudence that a businessman should have. He greeted El and Xiya politely, and asked about the cause of the incident carefully, and then sent his own people to take the The robbers who had just watched and participated in the fight gathered together and began to interrogate them patiently one by one.

"What happened?" Roger asked sullenly, jumping off his horse.Although he heard a general idea on the way here, he always felt that something was not quite right.

"Boss! You have to make the decision for me!" A bandit leader who was kneeling next to the corpse suddenly jumped up, screaming with snot and tears.

Roger's eyes moved slightly, and he recognized the guy in front of him as the leader of the "Black Skull" bandit group.Their small gang doesn't have many people, only three to fifty people, but because they are all desperadoes, they are also well-known in this area.They were originally vassals under Blackbeard's wings, but before Blackbeard lost power, they secretly joined Roger. It can be said that they are one of Roger's most effective teams besides his own lineage.

In the process of exploring the ancient ruins, Black Skull paid the price of the lives of seven people, which made Roger feel relieved while heartbroken, so he specially gave them an extra sum of gold coins.But now, seven of them were lying on the ground, six of them were killed by one blow, and their other leader was torn in half by one punch, and the body is still incomplete.

At this time, Dian Jinshou has gradually restored the truth. Xi Ya was out of a moment of anger, and the leader of the black skull questioned Xi Ya out of loyalty to Roger.The two sides moved their hands in agitation, and casualties were naturally inevitable.And Black Skull has enough reasons for Siya's stalking, because many people present saw that it was Siya who attacked Black Skull first, and they just fought back in anger.

All of this seems to be just a ridiculous misunderstanding. This kind of example of doing something without knowing it is really a common thing in the bandit circle. Not worth a second look from the big shots.If it weren't for Xi Ya's special status, absolutely no one would care about it.

The only person who seemed unreasonable was El who helped Xi Ya.According to the leader of the Black Skull, everyone knows that Miss Sia is a silver-level powerhouse, while his subordinates are just ordinary people.Maybe they lost control due to emotional agitation, but with their abilities, it is impossible to cause harm to Miss Siya anyway.

On the contrary, as an outsider, El actually intervened in the internal conflicts of the bandits without authorization, and killed the killer, showing no mercy to his allies. This behavior is simply insane.

This matter is actually very simple to say, but everyone has their own perspective to see the problem, and it cannot be said that the leader of the black skull is wrong.After all, everyone saw that he was really thinking about Roger at the time. Even if Roger was upset now, it was impossible for him to kill his loyal subordinates in public for the sake of his woman.

But if he agrees with the statement of the leader of the black skull, it means that he has to admit that Xi Ya did something wrong.Sometimes things are awkward like this, and if Roger has the idea of ​​killing Hawkeye in his heart and implements it, it's no big deal.However, after Hawkeye uttered the poisonous widow's name, Xi Ya appeared to be trying to cover up, even intending to kill her.In any case, she was too impulsive this time.

The poisonous widow obviously also realized that the situation was a little awkward this time, so after she arrived at the scene, she didn't say a single unnecessary nonsense, but just hid behind El with her arms around Xi Ya, and refused to look up no matter what others said.

Roger suddenly found himself caught in a dilemma. If he supported Black Skull, then the mother and daughter of the poisonous widow must give an explanation.But if he doesn't protect Xi Ya now, not only will he lose the staunch ally of the poisonous widow, but there may also be gossip that he, a majestic robber king, actually wants other men to protect his woman.

Roger listened to the ins and outs of the whole thing expressionlessly, pondered for a moment, raised his head to look at El, and met El's half-smiling eyes, and couldn't help but sink his face.

"I suddenly feel that you seem a little too weak." El sneered mercilessly: "If it were the black beard I know, it would never be so ugly. I really don't understand what you are How did you defeat that guy?"

"Because I am more benevolent than Blackbeard, I am recognized by everyone. But benevolence does not mean cowardice, and I don't need you to educate me." Roger said with a cold face.He held the handle of the knife at his waist, turned around and took a deep look at the leader of the black skull, and asked in a deep voice: "I really want to know how high the price is for you to betray me, is it better than what I will give you?" Do you have more gold coins?"

"What are you talking about, boss?" The leader of the black skull, with an unbelievably wronged expression on his face, pointed at the poisonous widow and shouted: "Don't you know why the poisonous widow has this nickname? Everyone knows that this woman cannot be trusted! Boss, you actually slandered me for that kind of woman? I am loyal to you, Boss!"

His words sounded like he was justifying himself, but in fact he was implicitly accusing Roger of injustice.Hearing what he said, the robbers who were watching couldn't help whispering.

"I said before, don't take my kindness as cowardice." Roger stared into his eyes and said word by word: "For the sake of your brothers who died before, I will give you a chance to confess."

"Boss... Boss, why do you..." Under Roger's cold gaze, the leader of the black skull realized that he was not joking, a flash of fear flashed in his eyes, and he stuttered.

"You are a qualified robber, but not a qualified actor." Roger shook his head and sighed, holding down the handle of the knife.The black skull leader's expression changed, and he turned around to run away, but only his head left the spot.

The light of the knife flashed, and the blood in the skull of the leader of the black skull spurted out. Only then did everyone see Roger's movement of withdrawing the knife.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, no one thought that he would actually make a move, and it was so clean and relentless that there was no sound around him for a while.

"Since the Black Skull has been bought, it is the enemy. Send people out to find all their remaining members, and kill them all." Roger wiped off the blood on the blade, and ordered to his cronies.His voice was not deliberately lowered, and the other people beside him could hear him clearly.But unexpectedly, no one dared to speak out this time, and all of them shrank their heads and closed their mouths tightly.

"Lord Roger, with all due respect, you did not consider it a bit..." Taking advantage of Roger's men running their separate ways, Dian Jinshou walked up to him, frowned and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's not It's no big deal, we just won the victory, we can go back and deal with it slowly."

"There is nothing worth considering. Since he dares to betray, he must be prepared for death." Roger turned his head, the frost on his face still lingering.He took a deep look at Dian Jinshou, and asked in a deep voice: "You are a businessman, what kind of price do you think is needed to drive them to betray?"

"It's actually very simple, it doesn't need a high price..." Before Golden Hand could speak, Laurana's voice suddenly sounded from the side.Roger raised his head and saw the eldest lady squeezed out from the crowd, clapping his hands while showing a standard commercial smile, chuckled and said:

"Master Roger, your subordinates have obtained enough gold coins to spend their entire lives, and they have the capital to marry a wife and settle down in their pockets. Who would want to do the dangerous business of robbers? But... compared to Lord Roger, rebuilding Di Mient’s dream, wouldn’t it be a better choice to leave the brown earth hills with this money and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to settle down?”

"If it's this kind of price, let's not talk about the black skull, I'll think about it instead." Roger said to himself, and at the same time narrowed his eyes and stared at the golden hand: "Although this price is simple, it can really There are only a handful of people who can afford it, who can guarantee that they will leave safely?"

"Lord Roger, I don't think this kind of nonsense is meaningless." Goldsmith said cautiously with a drop of cold sweat on his forehead, but still maintained a calm expression on his face.

"Mr. Thomas, I think you must have made a mistake." Al's voice suddenly came from behind, and the voice was so close that the golden hand couldn't help but sweat.He wanted to continue to defend himself, but he was suppressed by the murderous aura behind him, unable to open his mouth at all.

"You think I have further plans, so I must pay attention to my words and deeds." Roger took El's words coldly and continued: "But that doesn't mean that I have to learn the things of the lord and nobleman. Aristocrats have the rules of the game for nobles, but I have always been a robber. The rule of robbers is that there are no rules, and they only speak by strength. If the black skull dares to touch my woman, he will die. I don’t need to look at anyone’s face ,the same as you."
