The gaunt man in the cage looked terrified.
When the cage stopped vibrating, Aiden leaned slightly forward, staring at the gaunt man, "Now, can you tell about that wall and everything beyond it?"
The gaunt man wanted to speak but could only make hoarse sounds.
"Ah~ ah~"
Aiden naturally understood it was because the man hadn’t drunk water for a long ti.
"Want so water?"
The gaunt man nodded.
Aiden’s lips curled into a smile as he continued to ask.
"Want so food?"
The gaunt man kept nodding.
Aiden smiled contentedly, "As long as you’re willing to tell everything about that territory."
"Not only will I let you have food and water, but I can also reward you with two maids..."
The gaunt man’s vacant eyes showed excitent, nodding like a rattle drum.
Aiden straightened up and said to Ackman, "Bring him out."
After his words.
Aiden was the first to stride out towards the dungeon exit.
Ackman promptly responded, "Yes, Master."
He glanced at the few followers beside him, "Bring him out."
The followers had anticipated this and began to busy themselves without any nonsense...
In the woodshed.
Aiden was seated on a wooden chair, with Ackman and two followers guarding both sides.
At the entrance, there were also four followers guarding it.
And on the ground filled with dry branches, the gaunt man was gulping down well water.
After swallowing several gulps of well water, he began devouring the barley bread and pea soup from the plate.
Until ten minutes later, when the food on the plate was all gobbled up.
The gaunt man leaned against the stacked firewood.
Burp~
Let out a satisfying belch.
Aiden stared directly at the gaunt man and asked, "Full and drunk, can you now tell everything you know?"
"Don’t try to be evasive about your identity, and don’t think of bluffing your way through."
"I know far more than you imagine!"
The gaunt man glanced at Aiden, his voice still hoarse but clearly audible now.
"I am..."
"I am Jeremy Cars, one of the townsn from the territory behind the walls Aiden ntioned..."
Aiden nodded slightly, "Good, continue."
Jeremy moved slightly, trying to stand up.
Ackman saw this and wanted to step forward to stop him, but was held back by Aiden.
He reluctantly gave up.
Jeremy stood up and continued speaking, "Later, because of my physical stamina, I was recruited as a soldier of the territory."
Upon hearing this, Aiden raised his brows and asked Jeremy, "Soldiers? How many soldiers are there in that territory now?"
Jeremy hesitated for a mont and asked, "About the two maids you ntioned..."
Aiden said impatiently, "Once I’ve heard everything I want to hear, I’ll naturally reward you with the maids."
Jeremy couldn’t help but smile and say, "Master Aiden, don’t joke with ."
"Once you know everything you want to know, what value do I have left? Forget rewarding with maids, leaving a whole corpse is quite generous."
Jeremy contemplated, "How about this, Master Aiden, I answer five questions a day, how does that sound?"
"This way you can get the answers you want, and I can live a few more days, what do you think?"
Aiden spoke coldly, "Do you think you have the qualifications to negotiate with ?"
Jeremy smiled indifferently, "Certainly not, if Master Ed wants, he can kill right here and now."
Aiden said nothing.
Jeremy continued, "But, I have the information you want on , and I can’t escape here, so why wouldn’t you be patient, Master?"
"At least let taste what having two maids feels like?"
Aiden looked directly at Jeremy and couldn’t help but praise him, "You’re very clever."
"You know how to use your own value to fight for the greatest benefit for yourself."
"No problem, five questions a day, I can even arrange a room for you."
"If I receive useful information from you, and we break through that wall, I might even consider reusing you!"
Jeremy’s face showed a hint of anticipation.
Aiden got straight to the point, "You just ntioned soldiers; how many soldiers are on that territory right now?"
Jeremy extended one finger, "First answer, fully ard soldiers, four thousand eight hundred!"
Aiden was suddenly stunned.
Four thousand eight hundred soldiers?
Fully ard?
Mind you, his entire territory, counting followers, maids, male servants, slaves, and even the Free People, barely totaled over three thousand people.
There are four thousand eight hundred fully ard soldiers beyond that territory?
Looking at Jeremy’s calm deanor, Aiden’s face stiffened, "I wanted to give you a chance, but I didn’t expect you were still playing tricks on !"
Jeremy felt no tension, attempting to take a few steps.
He spoke indifferently, "The Iron Blood Brotherhood Bandit Corps and Storm Brotherhood... Aiden, do you know where they went?"
Aiden’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise, suspecting sothing, "Are you saying they’re wiped out by the ard forces behind the wall?"
Jeremy nodded calmly, "The remaining bandits and vagrants have all joined that territory."
Listening to Jeremy’s words, Aiden felt relieved.
It’s matched!
Finally, it matches!
No wonder, in nearly a month or two, he hadn’t heard any information about the Bandit Corps wandering around.
