Chapter 214
Chapter 214
The white-tasseled armored cavalry kowtowed to Huo De repeatedly, shouting: "We are from the Doyan tribe. This is the only son of the chief of our tribe and the future heir of our Doyan tribe! If you kill him, our entire tribe will not let you go!"
After saying these words, the white-tasseled armored cavalry paused for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Huo De with pleading eyes, and continued: "As long as you can let us go, we are willing to pay 100 gold royals, 50 fat sheep, 50 strong cattle and 20 good war horses as ransom."
When Huo De heard this, his originally tense expression moved slightly. 100 gold royals is not a small number, not to mention so many cattle, sheep and war horses.
Thinking of this, his eyes lit up, and the hand holding the long sword unconsciously loosened a little.
But there was no change on his face, and he said in a cold voice with a blank expression: "If you want me to let him go, this is not enough..."
After hearing this, the white-tasseled armored cavalry's face sank instantly, and then a trace of struggle and hesitation appeared in his eyes.
However, just a moment later, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and said: "As long as you can guarantee the safety of our little chief and release him unharmed, our tribe is willing to pay a higher ransom."
At this moment, the young nobleman of Kuyel, who had just recovered from the initial shock, heard what the white-tasseled armored cavalry said, and his eyes widened in an instant, his face flushed, and he shouted angrily: "Sulitu!!! How can you compromise with the enemy? This is a trampling on the dignity of our Doyan tribe!"
Then, he frowned tightly, stared at Hod fiercely, and shouted fearlessly: "Kill me immediately if you have the guts!!! But you remember, everything you do today will pay a heavy price!! The powerful Doyan tribe will never let you go..."
Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, Hod, who was standing aside, raised his hand slightly and waved it casually, indicating Nott to knock him unconscious.
Nott, who had been understanding, raised his strong and powerful fist again without hesitation, and then smashed it hard on the head of the young nobleman of Kuyel.
"Bang..."
With a muffled sound, the little head of the Doyan tribe felt that countless twinkling stars suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, his head was buzzing, and the whole person was dizzy.
The next second, he could no longer support the weight of his body, his head tilted weakly, and he fainted directly.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Hod's mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
He put the long sword in his hand slowly into the scabbard as if nothing had happened, and then whispered: "Okay, your little head has calmed down, so next, let's continue to talk about the specific price of his ransom."
"You!!!"
Seeing his master being knocked unconscious, the white tassel armored cavalry suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at Hod angrily.
"Okay, stop looking at me like that, or I won't guarantee the safety of your little chieftain." Hod narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
"Hmph..."
The white-tasseled armored cavalry snorted coldly, but still looked away. After all, his master's life was still in the hands of this "hateful" Estra people.
————
Hod stood quietly at the gate of the stronghold, his eyes closely following the figure of the white-tasseled armored cavalry that was gradually moving away, with an irrepressible satisfied smile on his face.
Just now, after a fierce bargaining with Hod, the white-tasseled armored cavalry who knew the common language finally agreed to release the person with a high ransom of 180 gold dragons, 100 cattle and sheep, 50 war horses, and 200 shepherds.
However, before this huge ransom was delivered, the little chieftain of the Duoyan tribe could only stay in this place.
Only when the ransom was successfully handed over to Hod, he could truly regain his freedom.
At this time, the burly Nott strode to the side of Hod, looking at the white-tasseled armored cavalry that had disappeared at the end of his sight, and couldn't help smacking his lips and exclaiming: "Boss... That guy is actually worth so much money? This is incredible!"
Hod turned his head slightly, glanced at Nott with a surprised face, and then sighed: "Who knows? Since the white-tasseled armored cavalry vowed that their tribe was willing to pay such a high ransom, then this little headman may really be of extraordinary value to them."
Hearing this, Nott's eyes, which were already rolling around, turned faster in an instant. He lowered his voice and approached Hod and said: "Boss... Since these little heads of the Kuyel tribe are like this...This is valuable... How about... we just find a way to catch a few more? That way, we can make a fortune! "
Hearing Nott's suggestion, Hod was instantly moved.
Just one small chief of the tribe allowed him to receive such a high ransom. If he captured a few more, he would no longer have to worry about the high cost of upgrading soldiers.
However, at this moment, there was a question that made Hod hesitate for a moment.
Just when he was talking with the White Tassel Armored Cavalry about the ransom price, he learned the reason why these Kuyel people appeared here.
The reason why they appeared here was entirely because their young and energetic small chief secretly led hundreds of elite tribesmen into this area in order to prove to his father that he was capable of inheriting the position of the tribal chief.
According to common sense, seventy or eighty brave and warlike tribal warriors, plus more than twenty well-equipped armored cavalry, and several elite among the elites, the Red Tassel and the White Tassel went out together. Even if they encountered the Estera army of thousands of people, they could easily defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
However, what they didn't expect was that the team, which was full of confidence, ran into Hod and others just after entering here.
This sudden encounter caused them to suffer heavy losses. Not only were seventy or eighty tribal warriors annihilated, but even the more than twenty elite armored cavalry were not spared and all died. Even he, as a small headman, eventually became a prisoner of Hod.
If he knew that this would be the result before setting off, I wonder if the small headman would secretly take people away from the tribe.
Thinking of this, Hod showed a meaningful smile.
However, although it was a coincidence that the small headman was captured this time, it did not mean that he could not continue to capture some nobles for ransom.
After all, the nobles of the Kuyel people are nobles, and the nobles of the Kingdom of Estera are also nobles. There is no reason why the nobles of the Kuyel people can afford the high ransom, but those of the Kingdom of Estera cannot afford it?
A gleam of light flashed in Hod's eyes, and he already had an idea in his mind.
