Chapter 980 Two hundred....... people?(2/2)
The lord here is Viscount Og, who is very old and is also an old friend of the former lord of Arthas. After meeting Wu Jian and others, he also talked about his childhood - he also had a common language with Bartrand and Tita.
But this time, there was a serious matter. After Lim introduced himself and explained the purpose, the old man became silent and looked at Wu Jian for a while before asking: "I'll ask first just in case. Is the fault of this matter plagued you?"
"Hahaha, when I came back, the other party hit my doorstep. Whose fault did you think this was?" Wu Jian spread his hands and said with a smile.
"Be careful!" Lim whispered to Wu Jian, and quietly pinched him.
Viscount Ogge nodded. He actually knew that this was just a formula question... Moreover, there was also the war goddess of Gistato. If Wu Jian traitor was traitor, he would not dare to participate. But then again, Wu Jian has great justice and war goddess to help him, which is also very likely. If he takes the right side, it will be very helpful to Telithor's development.
After thinking about it, Viscount Ogge had already considered it, so he said to Wu Jian: "To be honest, if you were the only one who came to ask me, I would definitely refuse. Even if you stand on the standpoint of justice, we are powerless in front of Duke Tenardier. Although justice deserves respect, I cannot bet on my soldiers and leaders in a war without hope of victory."
Hearing this, Bartra frowned and moved his mouth a few times--even though he was just a servant of the Tiger family, he could still speak in front of all the lords... although he was only in front of the lord who was as poor as Alsace.
However, Wu Jian did not ask him to continue talking. After stopping him, he nodded and told Viscount Ogre to continue talking.
"But you not only got the support of Mathhaas, but also became companions with the Gistato Army, known for its savvy and strong strength. You might really be able to confront Dukes Tenardier and Duke Gonlon in this way."
"So, are you willing to help us?" Lim asked hurriedly. She was now more anxious than Wu Jian.
"As long as my old bone can come in handy... I want to say that, but we don't have any extra troops now. It's better to say that I hope you can help me."
"What's going on?" Lim narrowed his eyes slightly.
Og turned his eyes out the window, and from here he could see the only mountain range of Teritol opposite the grassland: "Furi Mountains became the nest of the thieves. They attacked nearby villages, set fire to kill people, plundered property and livestock, robbed young girls, and did all the evil things. Naturally, I couldn't sit idly by this, so I led my troops to the Fori Mountains...but, I lost."
The old man's face showed a strong bitterness and humiliation, and he clenched his fists hard... Even so, he could not suppress his emotions, and his body was still trembling slightly.
"Now my son is borrowing troops from all the nobles nearby, but there is basically no progress. Even if we have a certain amount of troops in the future, the village will be attacked before that. I will not ask you to help me drive away the thieves completely, but I hope to suppress the damage there as much as possible."
"How many people are there in that thieves group?" Lim asked expressionlessly... This is actually quite difficult. Although the old man was sad, he was negotiating now, and if he showed too many expressions on his face, he would be seen through.
"About two hundred people."
What?
Lim was slightly surprised. This number was twice as many as she brought. Moreover, even the lord could not defeat it, which shows that it was a deeply rooted thief who was brave and good at fighting.
Looking at the expressions of everyone, Wu Jian pulled the corner of his mouth up, revealing a laughing and crying expression: "I feel like I'm losing when I complain at this time."
"Master—" Artoria understood Wu Jian's character, and said half-closed her eyes at the moment: "Master, there are already many thieves with more than 200 people, and the situation here cannot be compared with China. Moreover, even in China, it is a big deal to have so many thieves appearing in a small county."
"oh......"
Wu Jian clapped his hands and said that the objects he used to compare were different. Although the lord standing in front of him, the entire territory was not much better than the ancient Chinese towns. There were indeed more than 200 thieves.
Then, Wu Jian smiled and said to Artoria, "So, now we have lunch, how about you clean them up before setting the table?"
