More than a dozen corpses lay on the ground...... It was those mercenaries who left the ranks, almost a lot. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Is this a dismount? Strange, how did they do it?"

Behind him came Boseman's voice, but there was no surprise in the remark...... Merlin couldn't help but glance back at him.

"Don't look at me, if you kill people, I still need to taboo those guys. I've inquired that Everrig is no secret in the grasslands, a death situation that almost everyone knows, but in recent centuries fewer and fewer people have ventured there. ”

"So there's someone eyeing us?"

Yelder also came to him, looking at the corpses with a solemn face.

"So what? aren't we here to take risks?"

Merlin turned her head to look at the mercenaries who were already approaching: "Bury them and hurry immediately." ”

It can be seen that the expressions of these mercenaries have changed from doubts to panic, but Mei Lin and the others did not appease, if these mercenaries are of this quality, then before the real threat comes, it is good to eliminate a few.

As expected, in the next few days, almost a third of the people who sneaked away took up the rest, and the rest were even more sophisticated. In Poseyman's words, remove the chaff.

From the search for the bodies that day, it was almost certain that it was the largest and most heinous group of robbers in the steppe who killed those people.

Nearly half of those female assassins left the team, and Merlin and the others didn't really care. As the agent said, these assassins lacked field combat experience, and at best could be personal bodyguards in the city. However, Dania, who was with Merlin, did not leave, and this girl's strength has greatly improved in this short period of time, although it is also a lack of actual combat, but it can be used...... Of course, Merlene cares most about her cooking skills, and it would be great if she could find a way to take her with her.

There were a lot fewer people all of a sudden, and it was impossible to do it overnight like before, not to mention, since it was known that someone was trying to attack them in the shadows, and the other party already knew their destination, it was obviously not wise to act at night. But in order to hurry, they postponed their camping time and set off in the morning.

All the carriages formed a circle, a simple fortress, with three huge bed crossbows erected in each of the eight directions, and whoever tried to storm it would definitely pay a heavy price.

And once the battle starts, the wizards in the team are not for decoration, they will use powerful witchcraft to let the offender know what the majesty of the wizard is.

Because the enemy may appear at any time, Merlin and her guards have become more and more strict, and the time of their journey has begun to change...... Whenever the sun sets, they use vigilance to envelop the camp. Of course, there is also the monitoring of mercenaries, who are not trustworthy partners at any time, and everyone is on guard against attacks from their peers, just like everyone else.

They had reached the edge of the steppe, and in the distance they could see rolling hills, not much from their destination Everrig, but they would be able to enter the mountains if they continued on.

And at this moment, there is a team of men lurking in the mountains.

The men wore cloaks of the same color as the ground around them, and their hoods were pulled up, barely distinguishable from the ground when they lay on the ground, and they even buried their weapons in earth so that they would not reflect the light in the sun...... For a group of people who don't know witchcraft, it's quite well hidden.

But it all fell into Merlene's eyes...... After entering the grassland, Merlin released the Night Falcon to investigate, although the robbers were very cleverly hidden, but in the eyes of the Night Falcon, they had no place to hide, and they were completely in Merlin's field of vision.

Of course, what the robbers didn't think about was that it was a bird that completely revealed their whereabouts.

"There were more than 3,600 people in total. ”

She told everyone what she had found.

From the mercenaries, from the innkeepers who stayed at the beginning, and even from the broker Rahol, Merlin knew that although there were robbers in the grasslands, most of these gangs were small in number. Because it is very difficult to raise a large team on the grassland, and it is quite troublesome to replenish it. And in the steppe, there is no such thing as an alliance between these bands of thieves, they are like a flock of vultures, competing for their own interests. They will never cooperate temporarily in order to deal with a target, because each side will choose to be passive and slack off in order to avoid losses, hoping that others will rush to the front. And once the plunder is successful, the probability of sitting down and sharing the spoils is almost zero, and each side will want to take the lion's share, so the probability of a fight is 100%.

For thousands of years, the robbers here have a set of unwritten rules, they have no concept of territory in the grassland, as long as they don't invade other people's nests, even if they rob in front of other people's homes, of course, if they dare to do so, they must also have the consciousness of being stabbed in the back by others.

There are indeed a few bandits around Everig, and they are the kind of robbers who are known for their ferocity, but their numbers are not large, after all, this ghost place may not have been passed by by a merchant group for several years, and those robbers who are known for their fierceness set up their lair here, just to avoid the encirclement and suppression of various tribal alliances, and they usually do business in other places.

"Dania, do you know of any bandit bandits in the vicinity with more than three thousand men?" Merlin asked.

"There are several...... Can you describe any of their characteristics?" said Dania for a moment, thinking about the product tax.

"I didn't find it. Merlin frowned, these guys are lying on the ground, where to find features?

"If you do, you'll know which bandit group they belong to. Delle said.

Since this departure, the murderous Delle has never had a chance to make a move, and he has long been itching, "Three thousand people, small meaning, I can kill them all by myself." ”

"There's no need to show our strength, those mercenaries can definitely solve the problem. Poseiman refused.

Although he was not satisfied, Delle had no choice.

A fierce confrontation kicked off the battle. Wars on the steppes never pay attention to formations or tactics, but only about morale and the quality of soldiers.

It is clear that in this regard, the bandit group has an absolute numerical superiority on the side.

Almost as soon as the battle began, the mountain tribe warriors in charge of the escort were defeated in large numbers.

Although the remaining warriors of the mountain tribes in the team are all fearless to death, their swordsmanship is not as good as that of the bandits opposite, which is the deadliest fact.

However, the warriors of the mountain tribes also quickly learned to be wise, and instead of rushing upwards desperately, they set their crossbows on their carriages and fought back against the robbers. (To be continued.) )
