Seeing the five strong men dressed as bandits in front of him all looking terrified, Oster was very confused, was there something dirty on his face?
The first strong man was still raising his trembling hand, pointing at Oster, and stuttered, "Why, why are you here..."
The second man next to him reacted, hurriedly slapped his companion's hand away, and said, "Hero, listen to my explanation, we no longer fight horse bandits!"
The third one nodded desperately and said, "It's true. Since you killed the eldest brother that day, we haven't robbed him again."
The fourth and fifth people also showed off the red cloth wrapped around their arms in a panic and said, "We have all changed our ways and followed Skar to rob the rich and give to the poor." "Look, this is the red mask of the gang!..."
Oster was puzzled and narrowed his eyes to look at them carefully for a long time;
When his gaze swept across, the strong men unconsciously took half a step back and touched the latest and deepest scar on their face, chest or arm. Their whole bodies were shaking like chaff, and they were ready to run away at any moment.
Oster suddenly remembered that the night before he arrived in Montenegro Town on a horse-drawn train, he had been robbed by a group of horse bandits. The group blew up the rails and overturned the train, causing the troll businessman to be seriously injured and died. They also hacked the coachman to death, and they also thought that the female An Ye was a black fungus;
Oster, who was still awesome at the time, killed the leading bandit on the spot to pay for his life, but he didn't want to kill so many people with his own hands, so he taught the other gangsters a lesson and drove them away.
——These are the remaining five people. The scars on their bodies were all left by the holy storm that Auster used to copy.
Bobby said at a loss, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you so respectful to this skinny monkey?"
A horse bandit kicked him to the ground and said in a low voice, "Shut up! You can survive until now because the hero doesn't want to know you. Do you know that he chopped up my elder brother that day?" , It only took one knife to kill the five of us! Kill you or let you live, it all depends on your mood..."
The onlookers were talking a lot, and Bobby sat on the ground and said in disbelief, "So the red-haired devil you are talking about who brutally killed his former eldest brother is this person - but he looks so weak..."
His eldest brother hurriedly kicked him again and scolded him, "Hurry up and stop talking. Which big shot have you seen who is not ordinary just based on his appearance..."
Oster looked at the people around him who were looking at him in awe, feeling a little at a loss. Although he was very powerful when there was Goldfinger, now it is not what it used to be. Any horse bandit can beat him three times;
But this way, it seemed that there was no need to conflict with the other party. Auster breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could not go on like this. I am an embroidered pillow and may be exposed at any time. I have to get out quickly while my halo is still there.
When he touched his pocket, he found that the hall master's name tag had fallen off during the push between Bobby and Bobby, so he lowered his head and looked around for it.
The horse bandits looked at Auster nervously, not knowing what he was looking for. One of them reacted smartly and said with a smile on his face;
"Hero, it turns out that you are the leader of this gang. This is called fate! From now on, we will follow you. We will never go to the west if you tell us what to do. We will follow the leader to eat and drink well..."
As he spoke, he walked forward with a dry smile and tentatively stretched out a hand to touch Auster's shoulder. However, he was interrupted by a cold "go away".
The horse bandit swallowed and froze in place, not knowing what he said wrong. He saw Oster striding over, his heart almost beating out of his throat, and his eyes widening nervously.
Suddenly, with a strange "squeak" sound, a cold, viscous liquid splashed into his eye, and suddenly that eye could no longer be seen;
The burning and heartbreaking pain came at the same time, and the horse bandit let out a howl like a slaughtering pig and fell heavily to the ground. Covering his face and rolling on the ground, he screamed "my eyes" heartbreakingly.
The rest of the horse bandits were all stunned and fell to their knees. Everyone around him was silent, watching as Oster walked to where the horse bandit was standing just now, bent down and picked up the nameplate on the ground.
——Actually, Oster just saw the hall master’s nameplate falling over there and being stepped on by the horse bandit who came over, so he asked him to “go away” so that he could pick it up; because he was thinking about something, The tone may have been a bit duller.
As for the liquid that splashed into the horse bandit's eyes, it was because he accidentally stepped on a milk carton on the ground as he walked over, and the milk inside spilled out, just in the right direction.
Oster had been thinking about how to get rid of the Beggar Gang's job, escape from the war-torn Black Mountain County, and arrive safely at Yuexi Town. He didn't notice these situations at all. When he straightened up, he found that the surrounding atmosphere had become uncomfortable. .
The horse bandits were all kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and crying, "Please spare us! We shouldn't have lied to you!"
"We later actually robbed three more merchants, no, four..."
"But we follow your teachings and only rob money, no one is hurt!"
"Conscience of heaven and earth, please believe us..."
Poppy looked at the older brother who was crying and kowtowing, and the one on the side who was covering his eyes and moaning and twitching, with only air coming in but no air coming out. His heart collapsed, and his legs went weak and he knelt beside him.
Oster didn't know what was going on and wanted to find someone to ask about the situation; but no matter which way he faced, the crowd of onlookers on either side unconsciously backed away.
After a while, everyone lowered their voices and whispered to each other: "How cruel. Just for one sentence, you can just gouge out an eye. Is this the world of gangsters?"
"It's just like the rumors, it's completely unclear how he did it."
"Isn't this a rebel army? Why let such a dangerous person be the leader?"
"Shh, don't risk your life. He looked this way..."
Just when Auster didn't know how to end it, a man wearing a gang captain's uniform came towards this side with a few soldiers, and said to his subordinates as he walked;
"...You said that the inspecting hall leader has arrived? Alas, even if the gang leader comes in person, that's it. This place is full of unruly thorns. There is no day when they don't cause a lot of trouble, and I can't control them, Shengguang. .”
As he said this, he separated the crowd and said, "Hello, Master, I am Eric, the person in charge here. I'm sorry I was busy with something and didn't take care of it..." His words stopped abruptly and he looked at the people here with confusion. situation;
Several of the thorns in the past who had caused trouble were all there, kneeling on the ground like children who had made mistakes, sobbing softly. There was another one lying motionless on the edge, his life or death unknown. The other people around him looked as if they had eaten something dirty, with ugly faces and silence.
Eric was a mercenary captain before joining the rebel army. He had seen all kinds of battles and immediately felt the different atmosphere keenly;
The inconspicuous red-haired man in the middle strode towards him. There seemed to be an invisible aura wherever he passed, and the people around him were afraid to avoid it, so they moved away. In the blink of an eye, he walked closer and said to Eric, who was still in a daze;
"It doesn't matter. You should be busy as you should. I'm just taking a look."
At this time, the horse bandit who was lying on the ground was helped up by his companions, covered his eyes, and let out a sad groan. Eric swallowed unconsciously, and the man continued slowly and expressionlessly;
"...But somehow, there was some misunderstanding. In fact, I didn't do anything. They were just a little too nervous."
What Auster said was completely true, and there was no lie at all. His expressionless expression was just that he hadn't thought of the words to explain to anyone yet. He had never been a leader in his life and didn't know how to conduct an inspection.
At this time, everyone onlookers hid far away on the opposite side, pointing in this direction. Eric stood up straight with sweat on his forehead and said repeatedly, "That's right, that's right, I didn't see anything! Welcome the hall master, thank you for your hard work!"
As he spoke, he quickly ordered the men on the side, "Why are you still standing there? Go prepare the banquet and bring the best wine!"
"No need! I'll just wander around and eat whatever the soldiers eat. I have to get to the next stronghold before dark."
In fact, Oster is not used to the fruit wine here. It has a lower alcohol content than white wine, but it has great stamina. It is easy to fall off when riding a horse due to dizziness. Moreover, if he caused such a big commotion, he would not be able to eat at other people's banquets again;
As a result, Eric mistakenly thought that the hall master was calmly reprimanding him for his extravagance and waste. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded, "What the hall master taught us is that from now on, we officers will eat and live with the soldiers. "
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more awkward, Oster wanted to smile to ease it, but due to his nervousness and stiff facial muscles, his smile sounded creepy in the eyes of the people around him;
Eric and everyone gasped. Oster recalled what Skarr had told him before, looked around, and said slowly, "The gang leader asked me to give you a message. It is very brief. Please remember the face of the new hall leader in front of you, even if I leave in the future. , and remember to obey the discipline and not disturb the people, otherwise..."
Oster suddenly realized that he had forgotten the next half of the sentence. He had never been a leader in two lifetimes and had little experience in speaking in public. He couldn't remember whether it meant "otherwise the rules will be dealt with" or "no unauthorized actions";
This is really embarrassing. There is nothing more embarrassing than getting stuck during a lecture. So he froze there, his face getting increasingly ugly.
The surroundings suddenly became eerily quiet. Eric had never sweated so much in his life, and he said tremblingly, "We...remember, hall master and gang leader, please rest assured."
After dinner, when Oster pretended to look around, the people accompanying him all walked erratically, as if they were sleepwalking; they didn't dare to say any unnecessary words, and they didn't dare to make eye contact with him.
