Tokudai's face was full of bitterness. He said, "Yes … I used to hang around in Essen's camp for a while. Then I left for Edlu Castle and became a hunter." He didn't want to provoke Essen at all, but he knew that if he wanted to enter the depths of the Calabazar Trail, he had to pass through this place. There was no way to go around it.
Guo Shier reached out and patted Tokudai's shoulder. He smiled. "Don't worry, you'll be fine."
Essen was furious. He shouted, "Tokudai, what's going on? Do you want to die? "
Tokudai didn't dare to answer. Instead, he shrank back into the crowd. Essen was his old boss. In front of Essen, he couldn't muster up any courage. Although his nickname was Tiger, he was acting like a sick cat.
Guo Shier grinned. "You're Essen? You can surrender now. "
Essen looked at Guo Shier in surprise. After a while, he asked, "Are you an outsider?"
Guo Shi 'er nodded generously and said, "Yes, I am a foreigner. Essen, I don't want to kill anyone, so I'll give you a chance. Surrender. "He looked like he was thinking for Essen's sake.
Essen was amused. He sneered. "Who do you think you are? An outsider dares to ask me to surrender? "
Guo Shier said, "You won't give up until you see the coffin. Aizec, go!"
Aizec muttered, "I already said I don't care. Why do I have to go … Forget it, I'll go. I have nothing to do anyway." The crowd broke out in a cold sweat. Guo Shier couldn't help but laugh. This guy was just hitting a kid on a cloudy day. He had nothing to do anyway.
Essen was also angry. He shouted, "Kill them all!" He rushed out with his axe.
Tokudai and the others were already scared. They lost their momentum and couldn't help but take a step back. If they went up alone, they would be courting death.
Aizec said, "Trouble!" He had already rushed out. His speed was like a bolt of lightning. In an instant, he was in front of Essen. He didn't use any tricks. He just threw a punch.
Irene was a Level 4 Barbarian Spirit after all. He swung his axe in time. He roared, "Eat my axe!"
To everyone's horror, Ezekiel didn't even try to dodge. Instead, he punched the axe with his fist, completely ignoring the sharpness of the axe. In an instant, Irene's Brute Spiritual Energy surged into the axe, causing it to shine with a dazzling green light. Ezekiel snorted coldly and slammed his fist against the axe blade.
According to Irene's thoughts, even if the axe couldn't split the opponent's fist, it should be able to block it. Who would have thought that an enormous and frightening force would surge over, and the axe that he had swung out with all his strength would actually turn around?
With a clanging sound, the axe was smashed back. It was like hitting a steel wall. Irene couldn't dodge at all, and the axe slammed into her head. With a thud, Irene flipped over and fell to the ground. Without making a sound, her eyes rolled back and she fainted. He couldn't even block one move.
Essen's men were scared silly. This was too f * cking exaggerated. His fist was more powerful than the axe. He knocked out the camp's strongest expert with one punch. How could they fight?
Since Aizec made a move, he wouldn't be polite. He was like a tiger pouncing on a flock of sheep. He pointed to the east and hit the west. In an instant, people fell to the ground. His ferocity was far beyond the imagination of the people here.
Tokudai opened his mouth. He didn't even know that he was drooling. Bennett murmured, "Is this still … still human?" His suspicions were right. Aizec wasn't human at all. This guy was a humanoid talisman beast.
Guo Shier said, "Don't kill, don't kill …" Fortunately, he shouted quickly. Otherwise, Aizec might have accidentally killed a few people. He didn't mean to kill, but his hands were too heavy. If he wasn't careful, he could blow the other person's head off with one punch.
Aizec scurried back and said angrily, "This isn't satisfying! I'm not fighting anymore! " Even if he didn't fight anymore, he had already knocked down more than half of the people. A few people were like leaves in the autumn wind, trembling in fear.
Guo Shier turned his head and shouted, "Tokudai, drag Essen over here."
Tokudai was already scared silly. Bennett poked him from behind. Only then did Tokudai react and say, "Wh … what?" Bennett hurriedly said, "I told you to drag Essen over here."
Tokudai immediately called two of his men to go over and drag Essen over.
Essen was hit by his giant axe. Fortunately, it wasn't the axe's blade. Otherwise, his head would have been split open. His forehead was covered in blood. Although his head wasn't smashed, he completely fainted.
Tokudai took out a water bag and poured it over Essen's head. The stimulation of the cold water woke Essen up. He said in a daze, "Kill …"
Guo Shier couldn't help but laugh. He raised his hand and slapped him. He laughed and scolded, "Kill your head. Hurry up and wake up!"
Essen finally woke up. He opened his eyes wide and asked, "Where am I?" Then he saw Guo Shier's smiling face. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He suddenly understood that he had been captured. He was suddenly discouraged and said, "What do you want …"
Guo Shier didn't beat around the bush and said, "It's nothing. Join my team. Just like Tokudai and the others, as long as you listen to my orders, your life will not be in danger."
Essen was indeed an old guy who had been around for a long time. He immediately understood that Tokudai and the others had followed him after being defeated. He sighed and said, "Can I not agree?" Aizec's attack had made him completely lose confidence. If the other party was only a little stronger than him, he could still fight. However, the other party was so much stronger that he couldn't have the determination to fight at all.
Guo Shier said lightly, "No!"
Essen said, "Okay, I'll join." He was very straightforward. Anyway, he had already lost, and the other party only asked to join, not to kill him.
Guo Shier said with a smile, "Yes, this bottle of Rune Pill is for you … Those who are injured, take one pill each." In fact, he didn't know whether the Rune Pill would be useful for the people here, so it was good to test it. Among the group of people, many had broken legs and hands. They didn't seem to have any special treatment methods here, so he took out the Rune Pill to treat them.
Essen held the Rune Pill bottle and asked curiously, "Rune Pill? What's this? "
Guo Shier said, "Don't worry about what it is. Just give it to those who are injured. You can also take one."
Essen hesitated for a moment, opened the Rune Pill bottle, and poured out a Rune Pill. He looked at it curiously for a moment and glanced at Guo Shier. He didn't dare to disobey the order, so he had to eat it first. This was a Rune Pill for treating injuries, but it was just a low-level Rune Pill. It wasn't that Guo Shier was reluctant to take out the high-level Rune Pill, but he couldn't be sure if the people here could use the Rune Pill to treat injuries. So it was more suitable to use the low-level Rune Pill. Even if it didn't work, it wouldn't hurt anyone.
Essen swallowed the Rune Pill, and a warm current spread out. In an instant, he felt the benefits. His dizzy head seemed to be much clearer, and the severe headache quickly subsided. He immediately knew that it was a treasure, and said happily, "So it's a medicine for treating injuries … It's too effective, thank you …"
Guo Shier was delighted. He knew that the Rune Pill was useful. This was very significant. It meant that even if the Rune Pill went to the outside world, it wouldn't be useless. One had to know that he had accumulated many different kinds of talisman pills.
Essen called a few people over and gave them the talisman bottles for the injured to take.
The effect of the Rune Pill was very good, so good that Guo Shier didn't expect it. Even if it was a broken leg or an arm, as long as they were pieced together and taken the Rune Pill, they could recover quickly. Although they couldn't recover immediately, everyone realized that the swelling at the fractured area was quickly reducing, and the severe pain was quickly alleviating. After a few bandits took the Rune Pill, they could already hold back their cries and didn't shout anymore.
This completely subdued the group of bandits. The powerful martial power and the miraculous talisman pill made them not dare to have any thoughts of resisting.
Essen said, "Sir, please enter the camp."
Guo Shier said, "Okay, we'll rest for a day. Aizec, let's go." Accompanied by Essen, a group of people walked into Essen's camp.
It was a small valley, and a stream flowed out of the mouth of the valley. At the top of the valley was a precipice, and there was a slender waterfall falling from the cliff, making soft splashing sounds. A small pool of water was at the bottom of the cliff, and this was where the stream originated from. There were some wooden houses built beside it.
There was also a small open space in the valley, where many damaged carts were parked. There was also a row of simple wooden sheds with dozens of horses inside. The whole camp was not only dirty and messy, but there was also a faint stench. A flock of chickens and ducks wandered around the camp. There were no family members in the camp, but there were many disabled men with missing arms and legs.
Aizec said, "It stinks … Hey, Essen, can't you clean up the camp? It's too dirty … "He thought to himself," This place is even dirtier than my own nest, and the stench is overwhelming. It's even worse than a beast's nest. "
Essen blushed slightly and said, "We're all men, who cares if it's clean or not?"
Soon, Essen gathered everyone and said loudly, "From now on, we're all under the command of this sir. Does anyone have any objections?" There were people of all shapes and sizes in the camp, as well as more than a dozen disabled people. There were about 80 to 90 people in total. Including Tokudai's group, there were about 100 people in total, and no one dared to object.
Essen said, "Okay, since no one objects, then this sir is our leader. Now, please speak to us." Until now, he still did not know Guo Shier's name.
Guo Shier took a step forward and said, "You can call me sir, or you can call me chief or captain … I don't care, but my only request … is that you must listen to my orders. If anyone dares to disobey my orders, then he doesn't need to live. That's all I ask. As for the rest … you can do whatever you want."
Whether it was Essen or Tokudai, they all thought to themselves, "Is this the only request?" There were thousands of orders, and this so-called only request was a joke. This only meant that as long as Guo Shier spoke, it would be a f * cking order! This request was very demanding.
But Essen and Tokudai did not dare to say a word. At this point, they could only listen to Guo Shier's orders, unless they wanted to die now. The two of them said in unison, "Yes, sir."
Guo Shier said, "Pick out 50 people with the highest combat power, and leave the rest to guard the camp. Tomorrow, we'll go find other bandits. Hehe, I want to take in all the bandits and robbers in this area!"
