Chapter 868: The Lonely Black Shadow
readx;?
c_t; At this moment, it was the captain of the guard in the caravan, Munk, who was riding on the body of the leader of the Kodo beast, although a gray-brown robe wrapped him tightly all over his body, but even Beth, a newcomer, knew that Munk was a strong man with the strength of the third-order black iron intermediate! So even if the other party always jokes about him, Beth still can't get angry with others, at most he just ignores him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info (marshmallow
But now the news he brought back was so true that Beston roared back.
"How could I be mistaken! This kind of thing that is related to everyone's safety, where can I joke like you! Is there really a person, uh, maybe a humanoid monster moving in the direction of our caravan! ”
At this moment, Bess was full of nervousness, and his expression didn't look like he was fooling everyone. It was only at this moment that the members of the old guard of the merchant group, including Munk, put away their previous playful expressions, and instead gave each other a cautious and wary look, and then put their sidearms in the most convenient position without a trace.
However, their reaction didn't make much sense to Beth, who was still a newcomer, so much so that he thought that Munk and the others didn't take their words seriously!
"Why didn't you react! Don't we need to prepare some countermeasures or something? Feed! You are talking! ”
Beth was in a hurry at the moment, knowing that this was the first time he had discovered danger since he joined the caravan! Although there have been a few cases of fuss before...... But this time, Bess bet that he felt a pressure from the distant figure that he had never felt before!
That's a pressure that's much stronger than the feeling that Bessac, the strongest man in the merchant group, gives him!
"Alright bass boy, we believe you this time, but there's still a lot to learn. Now, for example, you need to not only learn to be calm, but also understand what we should be doing at the moment and what we have already done. ”
With that, Munch stretched out his left hand from under his broad cloak, first pointing at the cargo and Kodomon beneath him, then turning slightly sideways, revealing his right hand gripping the hilt.
"We are the escort of the caravan, and in any case, the safety of the caravan's owner and the caravan's cargo is the first priority. And when facing a single enemy, if it's a monster, it's okay, we at least have some knowledge of them, but if it's really a lone wanderer as you said, we don't know what kind of strength such an enemy has, and we don't know what he wants to do. [Fast update, refreshing website pages, few ads,,I like this kind of website the most, I must praise it] So, now we can only remain vigilant and wait and see what happens. ”
Seeing what Munch was showing, and listening to what he was preaching, Beston realized that he was so inexperienced that he was too nervous.
"But Uncle Munk, we're not plants that grow here, we can avoid it! Why are you waiting here? ”
After listening to Beth ask this question, there was no need for Munk to speak, and a shield badger warrior standing next to Munk's Kodo beast had already replied with a sneer:
"Turning the whole caravan around for the sake of one person? Bass boy, are you talking in your sleep?! Although the strength of these escort warriors in our caravan is only average, if we just let the entire caravan take a detour to avoid it for the sake of an enemy who doesn't know the strength or weakness, what else does Master Mir hire us to do! It's better to go home and dig and hide! ”
Hearing this, Bess blushed, and he also felt that there was something wrong with what he said before, but at this time, Munch followed the words of his subordinates and continued:
"Squeak, you'd better not let Master Mill hear this, otherwise he will be angry and deduct your commission from you, and you won't have anywhere to cry."
"Ahh What did I just say!? I didn't say anything! yes, I didn't say anything, did I, bass boy? ”
"Uh......"
was stared at viciously by the badger warrior named Squeak, but Beth didn't know how to answer for a while, you must know that the ox orcs are notoriously loyal and honest! There are far fewer of them who can lie than the real people among the rat orcs!
However, at this time, the caravan escort captain Munk suddenly spoke and interrupted the conversation of several people.
"That's it! I'm afraid that what the bass boy said this time is true, everyone cheers me up! Also, bass boy, you've got me the best of the bunch! We are guards, but we must not let others look down on us! The dangers and hardships experienced here are all for the sake of a safe and good life for the families in the village! And you, as a scout, not only need to find the enemy in advance, but also find out the enemy's strength as much as possible in the future! So, learn better! Bass Boy! ”
Speaking of which, it didn't take Munk to say anything more, and the caravan guards, including Beth and Bailey, could see the figure gradually emerging on the distant horizon to the east. And at this time, because of the relationship between being blocked by the dirt slope before, the figure was only four or five hundred meters away from the caravan!
(No, it's not Warcraft!) What a person! It's just that this guy's height is average, is he a swordsman of the mongoose clan? It can't be one of the weaker races, right? )
At this moment, Bes's heart was still a little nervous, you must know that although he had received many warrior training in the village before, and Beth had also gone out to hunt demonic beasts alone, but no matter how much he trained, he couldn't hide the fact that he was fighting with a human for the first time now!
And as the black-clad figure slowly approached the steaming Gobi rocky beach under his feet under the scorching sun, Bess only felt that his throat was dry, and the palm of his hand holding the short spear began to sweat slightly.
Speaking of which, Munch was one of the first guards to follow Mir out to run the merchants, but it is a pity that among the five of them, except for Munch and Mir who are still alive, the remaining three have died in the first few years of trading;
Munch didn't think as much as Mir, and this 'old mouse' not only brought his wife and daughter out to do dangerous things, but even had his only daughter join the caravan guard! According to Mir, he had been running around for most of his life, always gathering less and leaving more, and if he came home one day to find that his village had been razed to the ground, would he not regret his death?
So since five years ago, Mir has brought his wife and children with him, although they will experience the hardships and dangers of the journey together, but at least they can be together whether they live or die, right?
And this point, Munch can't do. But he admires Mir's choice and courage to take a desperate gamble, and for this reason Munch is willing to do his best to protect the safety of Mir's family...... Even if it's a death in battle......
As Munk and the others all quietly waited for the man in black to approach, although some of the other members of the caravan had not yet noticed anything wrong, the sense of crisis that had been cultivated by walking outside the merchant for many years still made them feel a different atmosphere at the moment.
Therefore, all the non-combat members, including the caravan leader Mir, found a place to hide in just ten moments after realizing that something was wrong. And some of the petite ones, like Mir and Mickey, hid in an iron hoop barrel tied to the side of Kodomon!
As for what is in the box, hiding behind the shield, and a few hiding in the grain pile, there are simply all kinds of tricks.
But as the entire orc caravan was fully prepared for battle, the nervous look on Munk's face gradually relaxed. After another leak, Munk exhaled softly, and the whole person relaxed, and suddenly shouted:
"Don't worry! It's okay! This man has no ill will, bass boy, go! Come with me and meet this man! ”
In fact, at this moment, the man in black was already standing a hundred meters away, and he had no intention of continuing to move forward, leaving a safe enough distance for both sides, which can be said to be quite interesting.
In addition, Munch didn't look like a strong battle race in the other party's size, so he decided to go and see it for himself.
Because he always likes to bring some familiar connections with his subordinates when he goes out, most of Mir's caravans are made up of Munk's fellow villagers and bull warriors hired from around Beth's village. Although there were other racial guards, they were only a few or two.
So, for the sake of safety, the captain of the caravan guard, Munch, brought four people to meet the black shadow, including in addition to the scout Beth he named, there was also Bailey, the defender of the Ox Clan, who was not worried about his cousin, and the two Monkey Warriors who had been by Munke's side for some days.
At this moment, the five of them walked forward, but the two monkey warriors followed behind Munk and kept muttering.
"Hey! You said the person in front of you was sick? Or stupid? On such a hot day, I actually dressed in black and ran to the Gobi Desert where birds don't to bask in the sun, it's really a big forest, and there are all kinds of fruits! ”
was bumped with an elbow by a brother next to him, and the other monkey warrior was obviously nervous, as if he was taken aback.
"! What are you kidnapping me for! Also, don't call me hey, hey all the time! If I get a tan, it's all your responsibility! When I can't find a wife, don't think about it! ”
"Come on! Even if you are called by your name, you are not like that? I can't find my wife or I can't find it, so don't worry so much! ”
"You've got to call me by my name anyway! Or call Boss Saiqi or Big Brother Saiqi! ”
"Don't be disgusting, okay?! Still adults!? You're just a little bit ahead of me, and you want me to be called big brother? I'll talk about beating you! ”
"Oh, what's wrong with you!?"
"Ah~ just don't accept it!"
Listening to the two living treasures behind him start bickering again, Munch really had the urge to turn around and give each of them a big mouth! These two guys don't look strong, but they are clever enough and loyal enough, and they are the kind of subordinates who can block knives for Munk.
It's just that no one is perfect! Saiqi and Saiya are just talking too much, and if it weren't for their poor physique, Munk would even want them to be shield warriors to attract the attention of the enemy!
But now......
