Chapter 48: The Thieves I
The setting sun rested on the horizon and looked back at the earth nostalgically, and a breeze swept up the dead grass rolling along the ground, throwing it into the sky, and in the distance, a giant bird with silver wings slowly descended from high in the sky. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"At this rate, we can get to Lyre City at noon tomorrow." The silver wing landed on Kester's outstretched left index finger and chirped twice, and Kester turned to the crowd. Half a month has passed, and Bai Yu and Silver Wing have also grown to be more than three meters wide, and the growth of the magical beasts that have become contract magic pets will be much faster than ordinary magical beasts. Luckily, the Contract Beasts can control their size at will, otherwise it would have been enough to overwhelm Kester when they all stopped Kester's body now.
"Brother Ye, to be honest, I really haven't seen the Silver Wing on the map," Nangong Ying sighed, "The Storm Eagle is rare enough, and your other demon pet is a national treasure-level magical beast." ”
Silver Wing raised his head and screamed, as if in response to Nangong Ying's words, Kester patted its head caressingly: "It's all a coincidence, Silver Wing and White Feather are twins." ”
As he was saying this, Bai Yu, who had just taken over the Silver Wing, flew up and hovered high in the air, suddenly landed, and stopped on Kester's right shoulder and chirped a few times, his voice seemed to be very anxious.
"What does it say?" Seeing this strange situation, Nangong Ying's heart sank, it was the first time in the past few days that he had seen Bai Yu look like a great enemy.
"We're in big trouble," Kester's expression was solemn, "five kilometers away is a medium-sized group of thieves, and we've been spotted by their scouts. ”
No more than those small thieves in the human kingdom or the elven forest, in a place like the Gobi Desert, it is difficult for small thieves to survive, and those large, organized and disciplined thieves are not such a barren place can afford to raise, at most a medium-sized thief group of hundreds to thousands of people. They dare to do anything, and they dare to rob any convoy, and they are not inferior to the bloody silver wolf who is notorious. Compared with Warcraft, they have one more attribute - when they win a battle, they rush up, and if they can't fight, they scatter in a hurry. In order to deal with these outlaws, even a hero like Chu Pofeng had a headache, and after several failed encirclements and suppressions, he threw this mess to the mercenary capital very shamefully. But except for the few SS-level mercenary groups registered in the mercenary capital, most of the general mercenary groups have taken on the task of exterminating the thief group, and if they are targeted by the thief group, there are generally only two ways to go, pay protection money or die.
"All on alert!" Nangong Ying shouted loudly and jumped off the camel first, "The materials can be given to them, and the most important thing is to save their lives." The thieves are also human, and if we show enough combat effectiveness, the other party will think twice. "At this point, it is useless to run, and the thieves usually raise some wildebeest knights, and camels cannot run faster than horses, and if they get entangled while escaping, their fate will probably be even worse.
Everyone jumped off their camels, drew their weapons, and stood in a semicircle, blocking He Ling'er and another mercenary who had just advanced to a mid-level magician. Lofa's long stick had already been carried on his shoulder, Kester's silver whip was shaken out, and even He Ling'er took out a small magic book from his arms.
As Kester expected, after a while, a dense number of horseback riding figures appeared in the direction of the setting sun.

"Chief, there are a few fat sheep in front of you." An ugly scar-faced man in a gray robe came running quickly, and his identity was revealed as a thief.
"You go and report to the boss, and the rest, follow me!" The voice of the thief known as the leader was unexpectedly young, and under the long sky-blue hair, there was a childish and cold cheek.
Character introduction: Chu Li, Terran, leader of the White Horse Thieves Group, seventh-order ice demon knight, although young, he has a lot of prestige among thieves, and he is a very indifferent person in his bones, at the age of eighteen.
"Hiss" The thieves were excited, and they jumped on the nearly two-meter-tall monster beside them, and prepared to run in the direction of the scout.
Introduction to Warcraft: Wildebeest, a two-order earth-based Warcraft, has a docile temperament, similar in appearance to a wild horse, but is larger in size and more powerful in body, and is a Warcraft that the thieves like to raise to be a mobile team.
"Stop! Let's adjust the formation first. Looking at the messy appearance of his subordinates, Chu Li's brows furrowed.
"Boss, we're thieves, we don't need a whole team or something," one of the thieves muttered dissatisfied.
"Huh?" Chu Li glared at the dwarf who was speaking.
The thief who was targeted by Chu Li realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he couldn't help but sweat on his forehead: "Boss, I was wrong, I shouldn't question what you said." ”
"I spared you the first time, today's new goods are not your share, and then there will be a next time... Go back to the camp and brush the pot! Chu Li said coldly.
"Thank you, boss..."The thief who was reprimanded by Chu Li felt bitter in his heart, but he could only show a respectful appearance on his lips. There is also a difference between thieves, the wildebeest pioneer is the highest status in the general thief group, and has the right to choose the spoils of war first, if you really return to the camp to brush the pot, I am afraid that it is difficult to even eat a full stomach, you know, this is a thief group!
Under Chu Li's command, a hundred or so thieves barely formed a fairly eye-catching formation. Chu Li gave an order, and the wildebeest pioneers galloped forward with their horses.
"Only a dozen or so people? It seems that this task is very easy. If only they didn't stand with the camels, how many people would be left after a flurry of arrows? But shooting a camel would be more than worth the loss, and it seems that you still have to do it with a knife and a shot. Chu Li thought so, he didn't hesitate, pulled out the three-edged thorn behind his back and rushed towards the mercenary team in front of him.
"It's coming! Usually the bandits will have the wildebeest vanguard launch a charge, and if the opponent is crushed at the touch of a button, it will become a one-sided slaughter. If we resist, they will stagger a little distance from us, and decide whether to entangle us with archers or keep an eye on us from afar, depending on how we do it. They will hold on until the large forces arrive, and then they will annihilate us by virtue of their numerical superiority. But if we are strong enough, they will not be able to fight us to the death, but will negotiate with us. Nangong Ying said quickly to everyone.
It is true that such a mercenary group of less than ten people would have already despaired when they encountered a medium-sized thief group. In order to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the mercenary capital and the local nobles, the thieves generally do not leave anything alive, unless they are short of people, maybe you still have a chance to save your life and become a thief who does all kinds of evil. However, the shadow mercenary group has high-level professionals like Nangong Ying, the deputy head of the group who can take charge of himself, and Kester, a strong foreign aid, as long as the thief group does not have the iron heart to kill them, it is also very promising to hold out until the negotiation.
