Chapter 332

Pinata smiled wryly. "Quite a few of us came. I only led part of the team. The rest went to the Xiba Plains up ahead. Our mission is to seal off the Calabazar Trail."

Guo Shier asked, "You're doing this for Aike?"

Pinata answered, "Yes …."

Jadran said angrily, "Why are you attacking us?"

Pinata said, "Not just you. Any bandits near the Calabazar Trail are our targets, especially large groups of bandits …." He was depressed. He never imagined that there would be such a strong person in his team. If he had known, he would never have provoked Guo Shier and the others.

Guo Shier waved his hand. Of course he understood Pinata's strategy. Gathering bandits as cannon fodder would snowball their numbers. Then they would use the cannon fodder to block the trade routes and suffocate and weaken Aike. This was the foundation of survival for killing the enemy. There was nothing difficult to understand. But if the enemy wanted to target them, then they were just unlucky.

Pinata hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Duchy of Chiska … can give you everything …"

Guo Shi 'er couldn't help but laugh. He said, "You surrendered because you wanted to recruit us?"

The pinata jumped in fright, thinking that this guy was too smart, he really did have this idea. He knew that he couldn't defeat Guo Shier, but if he could escape in the chaos, there was still hope. The reason why he surrendered so readily was because he saw the strength of Guo Shier and Ezekiel. If he could recruit Guo Shi 'er and Ezekiel for the duchy of Chiska, he would not need to besiege the duchy of Aike at all. He could directly attack them.

Guo Shier was silent for a moment. "Do you know of Druacaba?"

Pinata was stunned. He said, "Druakaba … That's the legendary place. You … Are you a King Level Barbarian Spirit Master?" His heart was in turmoil. King Level Barbarian Spirit Masters rarely appeared in the Dukedom. They were like gods, and only such masters would go to Druakaba.

Guo Shier said, "Don't care what kind of person I am. I just want to understand the situation in the Barbarian Lands."

"It's an extremely dangerous place. It's impossible to enter without reaching the level of an Eighth Level Barbarian Spirit. However, most Eighth Level Barbarian Spirits won't go there. Only those who have reached the level of a Ninth Level Barbarian Spirit and are old enough will consider entering."

Guo Shi 'er asked curiously, "Are you old enough?"

Pinata said, "Yes … Only those who know they won't live much longer will enter. And once they enter, they won't be able to come out."

Guo Shier asked, "How do we get to the Barbarian Lands?"

Pinata's heart skipped a beat. He asked in disbelief, "You want to go there?"

Guo Shier said, "Of course!"

Pinata smiled bitterly. "I only know it's in the far west. I don't know how to get there. Maybe Chiska Duchy has a map, but only the Grand Duke has it. We don't have access to it."

Guo Shier realized that this guy was very cunning. He was hinting at him to join Chiska Duchy. "Aren't you afraid of bringing danger to Chiska Duchy?"

Pinata felt uneasy. "I … I … don't mean that. I … Once you get to Chiska Duchy, I'll ask the Grand Duke to give you a map to the Barbarian Lands."

Guo Shier smiled faintly. Pinata lowered his head. His mind was in a mess. Guo Shier said, "All right, I'll go to the Duchy of Chiska." He didn't care how many experts there were in Chiska Duchy. He already knew that few Barbarian Spirits above the seventh rank were willing to stay in a duchy. So the best experts in a duchy were only at the seventh rank.

Pinata was overjoyed. He didn't really expect to be able to recruit Guo Shier and Aizec. But if he could get them to go to Chiska Duchy, it would mean that his companions on the Calabazar Trail would be safe. There was still a large number of Chiska Duchy troops in the Xiba Plains. If Guo Shier agreed to go to Chiska Duchy, then he would no longer be their enemy. This was Pinata's goal.

Guo Shier was no fool. He understood Pinata's hidden intentions as soon as he finished speaking. He cursed the cunning guy. He said, "You're now my captive. Haha, I'll take all the valuables in your camp."

Pinata was very straightforward. He said, "Yes, yes …"

Guo Shier said, "Get up. Follow me for now." He reached out and cut the ropes on Pinata's body. Guo Shier said, "Give him the weapon." He stood up. "Pinata, go gather your men. Send someone to call back those who escaped. Regroup."

Pinata said, "Yes, gather the troops." He picked up the two-handed sword and turned to leave.

Guo Shier said, "Essen, search the camp for valuables and food." Although Pinata had surrendered, that didn't mean Guo Shier wouldn't rob them. He still wouldn't let go of those that needed to be robbed.

With Pinata's help, the captives in the camp immediately calmed down and soon returned to normal. The bandits who had died could be considered unlucky. Pinata found a few trusted subordinates and began to gather the troops. He also sent people to search for his subordinates who had escaped.

Pinata's camp was very large and he had a lot of people. As a result, supplies took up a quarter of the camp. In addition, the bandits had robbed the camp many times, so there was a lot of supplies in the camp. Essen ran over and said excitedly, "Sir, we're rich … Haha, there's a lot of gold! And a lot of crystals! "

Guo Shier asked, "Are there any ores?"

Essen said, "Yes, there's quite a lot!"

Guo Shier was overjoyed. "Quick, take me there."

The place where the valuables were kept was next to a large tent not far away. There were more than ten carriages parked there, and all the valuables were in the carriages.

Guo Shier came closer. There were more than ten bandits guarding the place. When they saw Guo Shier, they all bowed respectfully. They had completely worshipped Guo Shier, the bandit leader who had come out of nowhere. In this world that worshipped the strong, Guo Shier was the best person to worship.

"Bring the wooden box down and open it!"

Someone immediately came forward and brought the wooden box down. Opening the wooden box, Guo Shier found a lot of ores. There were all kinds of ores, and he basically did not recognize any of them. With a wave of his hand, he put them into the altar for A Handsome Old Man to examine. Once he found something useful, he could buy it or search for it in this world.

There were still not many ores. There were only three carriages carrying ores. It was obvious that the carriages had been robbed. Then he found two more boxes of crystals. These crystals were even more valuable than the gold. Up until now, Guo Shier only knew that these crystals contained a large amount of life energy, but he did not know how to use them. Of course, the crystals were also one of his targets.

After inspecting them, Guo Shier took what he needed. As for the large amount of gold and silver, he basically did not touch them. He did not lack any of these things.

Pinata returned with a few trusted subordinates. He was followed by a few hundred people carrying dozens of large boxes. When he came to Guo Shier, he said, "Sir, these are all ordinary goods. I still have quite a few high-quality goods."

Irene exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Where did you hide these chests? Why didn't I see them? "

Guo Shier saw that there was a lot of mud on the wooden boxes. He said, "Buried underground?"

Pinata said, "Yes, we dug a few underground storage rooms. The good things are stored there. The ones on the carriages … Haha, that was used as a cover …"

Essen suddenly blushed. He cursed these cunning people in his heart. When he saw the large carriages and treasures, he thought that all the good things were here, so he did not continue to search carefully. He did not expect to miss out on important things, and there were so many of them.

Pinata said, "Five boxes of high-quality crystals, Shier, five boxes of rare ores, four boxes of precious herbs, and some … Sir, take a look yourself. There are also some gold, about 130 boxes, and more than 400 boxes of silver. There were too many, so I did not bring them here."

Guo Shier waved his hand. "Forget about the gold and silver. I want the miscellaneous items you collected."

Although the pinata did not understand why Guo Shier wanted the miscellaneous items, he did not dare to question him. He immediately sent people to collect the miscellaneous items that he did not care about. Among them was a large number of furs. Guo Shier picked and chose, putting what he needed into the altar. He did not care about anything else.

A Handsome Old Man was very satisfied. He had collected a large number of materials in an instant. To him, these things needed to be examined.

Guo Shier asked, "Pinata, are you here to rob merchant caravans?"

Pinata said, "Yes, that's right. We robbed many caravans a while ago. Haha, the caravans from the Duchy of Aike were stopped at the Xiba Plains. As for the caravans from Edlu Castle and the other border castles, once they enter the Calabazar Trail, they are basically done for."

Guo Shier nodded. He had come out of Edlu Castle and encountered the Auland caravans before entering alone. They were all around the bend, and it was likely that many caravans were blocked there.

"How many days has it been since a caravan came?"

Pinata said, "We have over a hundred sentries on the Calabazar Trail. It has been almost thirty days, and there has not been a single caravan. Haha, I think … there will be a huge caravan appearing soon. Ugh …" He suddenly remembered that he was no longer in command of the caravan.

Unwilling to give up, Pinata said, "Most of the caravans from Aike have large amounts of gold and silver, while those from Edlu Castle have all sorts of items, such as ores, crystals … and all sorts of precious herbs …" His tone was full of temptation. He knew that Guo Shier was collecting ores and crystals.

Guo Shier could not help but laugh. "Pinata, you are very smart." He turned and left.

Pinata hurriedly followed. He secretly wiped away his cold sweat. He knew that Guo Shier had seen through his intentions. At the same time, he felt a trace of pride. Even if you see through me, you will still follow my plan.

The only thing he could not figure out was Guo Shier's identity. He did not look like a local at all, especially with his rare black hair and eyes. His clothes did not look like a local at all. Pinata had a huge question in his mind. Where did he come from?

A guy snuck over and winked at the piñata. Guo Shier could not help but laugh. His soul could see everything around him. Even with his back to the man, he could clearly feel it. He turned around and said, "Come here!"

The man was so frightened that he fell to the ground. He knew that Guo Shier was a monster.

Pinata's face immediately paled.
