Chapter 457: Exchange
The Tempest Thieves retreated.
This group of fierce horse thieves, led by Wind Fury, retreated very neatly and neatly, without the slightest hesitation.
In fact, their losses were not great, less than thirty corpses remained in front of the merchant camp, and most of them died under the fire of the God of War Armament.
And the dead were basically low-level soldiers, and many horse thieves were hit by close defense guns, and they were forced to carry them by relying on their protective armor, just injured.
The main force of the Tempest Thieves is still intact.
But it makes sense that the leader of the horse thieves, Feng Fury, made such a choice.
Because of Gao Jing's existence, it was completely unexpected by him, and the original plan was completely disrupted.
And the powerful lethality shown by the God of War armament also made this famous Wind Knife deeply jealous.
He didn't know what kind of hole cards Gao Jing was hiding, so he decided to stop the loss after weighing it.
This style of behavior is the same as that of wolves in the wilderness, they can bear sacrifices, but they must be worthwhile.
Wind Fury will not use his brother's life to gamble with his opponent.
It's just that he also firmly remembers Gao Jing.
It's like a wolf king who holds a grudge!
"Uha!"
When the last of the Tempest Bandits disappeared from sight, the Merchant Knights and Warriors guarding the camp let out cheers of joy and excitement in unison.
They are all ready to fight to the death against the Tempest Bandits, and they also have the consciousness to give their lives.
I didn't expect this battle to end so indiscriminately.
The Tempest Bandits left behind more than 20 corpses, and only two miscellaneous servants on the merchant group were accidentally shot and killed by stray arrows, and the number of injured people was also very small, so the damage could be said to be insignificant.
The most important thing is that all the goods are saved!
After the excitement, everyone turned their eyes to Gao Jing, who was still standing in front.
It can be said that without the sudden appearance of Gao Jing's divine soldiers, it is impossible for the Wind Thieves to be repelled so easily.
He was the biggest contributor to this victory!
Huoxiong stepped forward and said gratefully, "Your Excellency Gao Jing, this time it's really thanks to you!"
As he spoke, his gaze swept over the howitzers and close-in defense guns of the left and right arms of the God of War.
Secretly guess what kind of witch weapon this is, so sharp!
The God of War weapon controlled by Gao Jing moved.
He "switched" back to his original giant form in an instant!
It was so fast that with Huoxiong's eyesight, he couldn't see clearly how Gao Jing did it.
It made the leader of the merchant group have a more unfathomable feeling for Gao Jing.
In fact, Gao Jing switched back and forth, relying on the plane shuttle ability of the copper anchor and the mystery of the two worlds stopping at relative times.
Just falling into the eyes of the merchant group and others, it feels very magical!
Gao Jing smiled and said, "In the same boat, you don't have to be polite." ”
Gao Jing didn't care, but Huoxiong couldn't help but express it.
He had the warriors of the merchant group cut off the heads of the fallen horse thieves, smeared them with antiseptic medicine, and piled them on the cart.
These heads are the results of the battle that belong to Gao Jing.
Of course, Gao Jing wanted the head of the Wind Thief, but since Wind Fury led the people to rebel, this powerful Wind Knife has been an important wanted criminal in the Thousand Islands City.
When Wind Fury and the Wind Thieves plundered around, the Thousand Islands City was very anxious, and the bounty on the head of the horse thief leader and a subordinate became higher and higher.
These more than 20 Storm Thief's heads can be exchanged for real money in the City of the Thousand Islands!
And not a small amount.
In addition, Huoxiong has another reward: "After returning to the city of a thousand islands, one percent of the goods will be yours!"
This is where the sincerity of the Huoluan merchant group lies, most of the reward leaders in front of them were originally Gao Jing, and Huoxiong just asked his subordinates to help deal with it.
"Can I do without the goods?"
This time, Gao Jing was not polite again, and asked bluntly: "Including the heads of these horse thieves, all of them are for you." ”
Huo Xiong understood in seconds: "It's no problem to change to shell coins!"
He thought it was Gao Jing who was troublesome.
The Tempest Bandits may have retreated, but there is no guarantee that they will not return.
And the reinforcements from the Thousand Islands City have not yet arrived, and the Huoluan Merchant Group still needs the help of a high-level powerhouse like Gao Jing.
Therefore, even if Gao Jing asks for more, Huo Xiong will still consider it.
"Shell coins are fine. ”
Gao Jing smiled and said, "If it can be replaced with Star Iron, it will be the best." ”
People who only give and don't ask for anything in return are extremely rare existences in the big world, and Gao Jing has no intention of being an alternative.
On the other hand, his request can reassure Huoxiong.
"Xingtie is fine. ”
Huo Xiong replied without hesitation: "We should have stock in our shop in the City of Thousand Islands, and the discount is for you." ”
Gao Jing was satisfied: "Thank you." ”
Star Iron is a special metal produced in the Great World, which is an important material for refining high-level witchcraft and crafting high-level weapons, with excellent toughness and sturdiness.
This metal is only found in black iron ore, the content is very low, and the difficulty and cost of refining are very high.
After Gao Jing killed the Black Mountain Python at the beginning, he unexpectedly obtained a batch of high-purity Star Iron.
Originally, he planned to use this batch of star iron to hire someone to refine equipment, but it was discovered in the main world that star iron has extremely strong superconducting properties, and then it became the most important trading item with the above.
The demand for Star Iron above is unlimited.
As the provider of Star Rail, Gao Jing thus obtained some privileges that ordinary people simply could not get.
Such as customization and procurement of arms!
In the battle just now, if the God of War Armament was not loaded with howitzers and close defense guns, then Gao Jing would probably have to fight the Wind Thieves at close range.
Winning or losing is unpredictable, but it is impossible to repel this fierce gang of horse thieves so easily.
Through practical application, Gao Jing found that whether it is a howitzer or a close defense artillery, it is very difficult to fight the enemy with the blessing of the battle armor, and the power of weapons and ammunition is very necessary!
That's why he proposed to Huoxiong to exchange some Star Iron for future transactions.
Everyone was happy.
And the Huoluan merchant group that survived the catastrophe still stuck to the camp and had no intention of leaving.
Until sunset and dusk, a cavalry appeared.
Reinforcements from the City of the Thousand Islands have arrived!
It is only a big merchant group like Huoluan that has such a row, and if it is another small caravan, not to mention whether it has the ability and means to ask for help, even if it is known to the city of a thousand islands, it may not send elites to rescue.
That night, the Huoluan merchant group warmly entertained the reinforcements.
The next morning, the merchant group set out camp and continued its march towards the city of the Thousand Islands, escorted by this heavily armed cavalry.
Everyone picked up speed along the way.
But the Tempest Thieves never reappeared, as if the gang of horse thieves had disappeared.
By the afternoon of the third day, the azure Endless Lake appeared in front of the caravan!
