Another reason is to eliminate bandits! It is unacceptable to let robbers run free at any time. Just think about it: you’re in your village, enjoying black bread and holding your wife, when suddenly bandits come to rob you. So, a life without bandits is a good life, indeed.
As John spoke, his words resonated in the hearts of every Serf and every soldier present. They all understood him; they had experienced the days when bandits roamed freely. Now, hearing John's call to eradicate the bandits, their spirits soared. Not only did they need to eliminate the bandits, but they also needed to wipe them out completely.
Feeling the excitement of the crowd and the surge of battle intent, John waved his hand and issued orders.
“Let’s go, eliminate the bandits!”
Outside Bandit Valley, Kuiradi and a few soldiers were lazily sprawled out on a sunlit grassy slope, soaking up the warm rays. They were focused on counting the ants crawling on the ground, murmuring to themselves.
At that moment, in the distance, Soldier A came running towards them with a water bottle in hand, his face beaming with excitement as he shouted.
“Kuiradi! Come quick! I caught a lot of little silver fish by the mountain spring!”
Kuiradi, who had been intently counting ants, perked up at the mention of fish. He immediately shifted his attention from the insignificant ants and got up to greet Soldier A. Eagerly, he reached out and snatched the water bottle from Soldier A's hands, his eyes fixed on the dozen or so finger-length silver fish shimmering inside.
“Oh my! What a great find!” Kuiradi exclaimed joyfully.
If these were coated in flour and fried until golden and crispy, then beautifully plated with some fresh green vegetables as garnish and taken to the capital for sale, they could fetch dozens of Silver Coins!
However, the other soldiers watching nearby scoffed at this idea. One couldn't help but retort.
“Sir, don’t joke around! These are just ordinary little silver fish; they aren’t anything rare or precious. How could they possibly sell for such a high price?”
Upon hearing this, Kuiradi was instantly enraged. He raised his large hand like a fan and slapped it down on the heads of those questioning soldiers, making them grimace in pain.
“You bunch of ignorant fools! What do you know? The wealthy folks in the capital will pay for all sorts of oddities! Don’t even mention these fresh little silver fish; even a bottle of plain boiled water can sell for several Silver Coins if it’s packaged nicely!”
He paused for a moment before continuing. “By the way, have you been paying attention to when our food delivery soldiers are supposed to arrive?”
Kuiradi frowned as he spoke. He had been stationed here watching over this group of bandits for several days now and hadn’t dared to light a fire for cooking due to fear of being discovered. Their daily meals relied entirely on provisions sent from their territory.
Looking up at the sky, Kuiradi noticed that the sun was already high above. He couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
“What’s going on? At this time usually, our meals should have arrived by now. Why is there no sign of them today? Have they forgotten about us?”
Hearing Kuiradi's words, the surrounding soldiers exchanged glances but dared not speak up. After all, they were just ordinary Big Head Soldiers and could not compare to Kuiradi.
Kuiradi was the nephew of their Lord and belonged to an influential family. Even if he occasionally complained about his uncle, it wouldn’t be a big deal. But if it were one of them making such complaints, it would likely not end well for them.
At that moment, a faint rustling sound emerged, as if someone was making their way through the grass towards this direction.
