After counting the money, it's time to count the heads.

Leo women, Moèra, Bruto, Guater, Chuit, naturally needless to say, according to the merit standards set by Manda, Chuit won a third-class merit, and the rest each received a fourth-class merit.

Each of the fifty thieves who participated in the operation also received a reward of twenty gold coins.

Manda not only gave them money, but also gave them a way out: "You can't continue to stay in the capital. Someone will find you sooner or later. You know what the consequences are, and you will definitely not be able to escape the gallows.

I can give you a way out. Tomorrow, a caravan will go to Qixing Mountain. I will put you in the caravan. When I arrive at Qixing Mountain, you will become the people of my territory and the most trusted warriors. You will get houses, land, and follow me to gain wealth and witness the value of life together.

Of course, if you don’t want to go to Qixing Mountain, you can also leave the capital with gold coins and live the life you want. After I say that, you can choose which way to go.

Fifty thieves looked at each other and could see that many people didn't want to go to Qixing Mountain, but no one dared to be the first to say it.

Manda opened her hands and said, "Don't worry, I'm a tolerant person. No matter what choice you make, I won't care."

A man in his forties stood up and said to Manda: "Sir, forgive me for not accepting your kindness. I don't want to go to such a faraway place in Qixing Mountain. Of course, I will not stay in the capital. I want to buy a piece of land in the countryside and cultivate it well. I have been a thief for twenty years. This is the day I have always dreamed of."

"Yes." Manda nodded and pointed to Bruto standing at the door.

Bruto gave him a purse, and the middle-aged man opened the purse and counted the gold coins inside, which were exactly twenty.

"Thank you for your generosity!" The middle-aged man saluted Manda again and then left the house.

There is a forest in front of the gate of the house. When the middle-aged man walked out of the door, Toka, who was standing on a big tree, pulled his longbow and shot through his head with an arrow.

I have been a thief for twenty years and now I say I want to live a peaceful life? Who would believe it? Anyway, Manda doesn't believe it.

It is a difficult and complicated process for a prodigal son to turn back, and the probability of it happening is extremely low. Manda never pins his hopes on low-probability events. According to normal inference, this man will sneak back to the capital, take twenty gold coins to do what he wants, go to drink, gamble, go find a girl, and continue to be a thief after spending all the money.

During this process, he is very likely to reveal his identity. Once arrested, he will be found on Manda without any suspense. Instead of praying that he would rather die than surrender, it would be better to make him unable to speak.

Toka shook the branches, and Biggda, who was hiding under the tree, carried the body into the forest with two subordinates.

Not long after, two more young men walked into the room. Toka fired his bow again, and one of them exploded in the head with one arrow. This time, the action was a little rushed, and a young man's blood flowed all over the floor.

Immediately after the two of them, another man walked out of the yard. Seeing the blood on the ground, he seemed to realize something. He wanted to run back to the yard, and Toka shot through his throat.

It was too late to regret it. From the moment you walked out of the door, everything was too late.

Fifty thieves, twenty-two people chose to quit, and they died without exception under Toka's arrow, and the remaining twenty-eight people will follow the caravan to Qixing Mountain.

"Before you set out, there is another important thing to do. After you have completed this, you will officially become my people. Recite with me loudly, thank you for the great Hermes for giving me the value of life..."

After leading everyone to recite the prayer three times, Manda left the house and went deep into the forest to check the disposal of the body.

Bigda set up a pile of firewood, and Guatel quickly burned twenty-two corpses to ashes with his second-level skill.

Bruto sighed, "It's a pity. These people dare to fight and fight, and can become good soldiers with a little training."

Moaila said to Manda: "You can kill one or two in front of everyone, and the others will know how to choose."

Manda shook her head and said, "I don't like to force others. I don't want any of them who are really following me."

Moaila curled her lips and whispered: "Then how do I count?"

"Don't talk too much." The Leo woman twisted a small loop under Moaila's waist, and Moaila rolled her eyes in pain.

...

Late at night, Worm was wiping the wine utensils. The business in the tavern was good, and there was no other entertainment in the mountains. The soldiers and slaves wanted to come here for a drink after working for a day. This was also the only place where slaves were not discriminated against.

After cleaning the tavern, Worm returned to his bedroom. Before blowing out the candles, he silently recited "Hero from Ancient Times" and opened the island of the Styx.

There is a letter on the island, and the first line of the letter reads: "Let Stanley recruit soldiers."

The next morning, Wolm conveyed the news about Manda to Stanley. Stanley smiled bitterly and said, "Recruiting soldiers? How easy is it? It takes money to support the army, where is the money? Look at it, Silvado is difficult to speak, and it takes half a day to talk to him if you want one more gold coin."

Worm said: "You don't have to worry about money, Manda said that 10,000 gold coins will be sent soon."

"Ten thousand gold coins?" Stanley said in surprise, "He has only been to the capital for a few days? Can the capital grow gold?"

The royal capital can indeed grow gold. Looking at the majestic capital, Manda seemed to see a field full of gold, waiting for him to harvest at any time.

When I returned to the official residence, I just walked out of the carriage and saw two law enforcement officers beating a beggar.

"You're told to get out, can't you hear it? Get out quickly!"

The beggar hugged his head and shouted loudly: "I'm just begging for food here. I didn't hurt anyone. Why do you hit me!"

Manda asked the sheriff to stop, and the sheriff explained awkwardly: "Sir, this person has been lying here since last night. We have driven him several times. He just won't leave, and we don't want to attack him."

Manda squatted in front of the beggar, looked at his dirty face, then at his torn clothes, and finally stopped his eyes on his chest.

"Chuyit, how do you say his skills are better than you?" Manda asked.

"What can I say about this?" Chuyit was an expert in disguise, but he did not find any flaws in this beggar.

But Manda discovered it, and he saw the other party's divine bloodstone, which was a third-level believer.

Why do third-level believers wear makeup and beg for begging in front of his door?

The reason is unknown, but there is no need to ask more questions, just kill it.

Manda stretched out her finger and was about to stab the other person in the throat when she suddenly heard the other person shouting: "Sir, what do you want to do?"

"I want to do...what?"

Forgot, I forgot.

Manda smiled and knew who this person was. The only imperfect part of the whole operation was that this guy ran away. Unexpectedly, he came to him.

Manda stretched out her finger again and said with a grim look on her face: "Don't talk to me, let me give you some fun."
