Chapter 11: Encountering Robbers on the Road
In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the dewdrops, reflecting a little light, the mercenaries all got up to make a fire and cook.
After a night's work, Carefree woke up from meditation, saw that there was no one around him, pouted, and got up and opened the tent and walked outside.
Outside, everyone was sitting in twos and threes, sitting next to each cauldron, and the Warcraft soup was boiling on several fires, and the meat was fragrant, and the fragrance could be smelled from afar, and Wu Wu suddenly felt hungry.
"Brother worry-free, here!"
Seeing her come out, Long Tian waved at her and beckoned her over for breakfast.
Everyone had already gotten up, gathered around a pot of broth, sat and waited for breakfast, and looked at him with a playful smile when they saw Wuwu coming over.
was embarrassed by everyone's eyes, thinking that everyone was waiting for her, so she touched her nose and said, "I'm sorry for making you wait for a long time!" ”
The eldest sister Da Lan said with a teasing smile: "We don't laugh at you for getting up late, I heard Hu Cheng's idiot say that you kid meditated all night, we are thinking that no wonder you are already an intermediate magician at a young age, it turns out that you usually work so hard." Yes, the hero is out of the boy! ”
Seeing Wu Wu's embarrassed face, Long Tian really couldn't bear to change the topic and said, "Okay, don't say it, the soup is cooked, let's drink it quickly!" ”
Everyone let go of Worry-free, Long Tian took out eight bowls and began to serve soup to everyone, Worry-free saw that there were only eight bowls and asked, "Why are there only eight?" ”
Long Tian was very embarrassed, scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "Usually we eat together with eight people, so only eight are prepared, nothing to do, you eat first, I can eat directly with the pot!" ”
Worry-free's face was moved, and he smiled: "It's okay, you can use a bowl, I also have a bowl myself." ”
After speaking, he took out a silver bowl from the space ring, which was also depicted with delicate patterns, which could vaguely be seen to be a phoenix pattern, and a silver spoon was placed in the bowl, shining in the sunlight.
When Wuwu took out such a sassy bowl, everyone was shocked, but everyone was also a person who had seen the world, and they returned to normal immediately, but Long Tian quipped: "Brother Wuwu, your bowl is still so good-looking!" ”
When Wu Wu heard this, he immediately took out eight more bowls and said, "Big brother likes it?" I've got a lot of them, so I'll give them all to you! ”
Listening to the carefree and innocent words, looking at the bowls of the nine sassy bags on the ground, everyone has black lines. Where did this baby come from, such a loser.
They are very curious about the origin of worry-free. Especially the thin big swordsman, his eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something. However, he didn't show anything, just lowered his head and waited for Long Tian to serve soup for everyone.
Although he was born curious and carefree, everyone didn't ask anything, and it was still the same as before, and this tacit understanding was cultivated for a long time.
Although everyone graduated from the Ernst Academy of Magic, they are not clear about their respective backgrounds, except for the kid Hu Cheng, who is the son of the president of the mercenary union, everyone else can be said to be born mysterious.
After eating with the bowl of the bag, the girls loved the bowl that Carefree took out, and when Carefree saw this, she said very generously: "If you like it, I will give it to you!" ”
You heard Wu Wu say this, and other people also coaxed, no, just one person.
After receiving it, the eight people each put it into their own spatial rings. No one has seen this scene, if they do, they will be jealous to death, what kind of mercenary team can each be equipped with a space ring!
The carefree young master, who has always been wealthy, didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, in her understanding, the space ring was a very ordinary thing, no big deal, but it should be convenient for everyone to have one. Okay, Boss Sanctuary, everyone kneels for you.
After breakfast, the convoy had been repaired and began to rush to the road in the same formation as yesterday.
In this way, the team traveled mightily for two days, and the road was calm and quiet.
It was noon on the fourth day, and I was walking in the middle of the team, wondering in my heart: Aren't mercenaries usually encountering robbers or something when they are doing escort tasks? I've been walking for three and a half days, and there's no movement?
There are still three days left before she can get out of the Sunset Forest, she didn't even have a chance to make a move on the road, and the occasional few demonic beasts on the road were quickly solved by the fighters on the periphery.
A robber who keeps on the road, it's too boring, carefree and a little listless, and says it's good?
After lunch, the large army continued to advance, and suddenly the people in front stopped.
Baron Robin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”
One of the mercenaries replied, "My lord, there are robbers! ”
It turned out that under the powerful mental power of our carefree young master, the robbers who had been calling for a long time finally came to their senses, and they came to rob the carefree young master's wish. Weak asks you, is there still a skill to summon robbers?
Hearing that a robber was coming, Carefree suddenly became excited, raised his head and looked into the distance, a pair of eyes shining with excitement. Finally got the chance to do it, and she was bored to death. Take out a magic wand and sit back and wait for the battle to begin.
Encountering this kind of thing, Baron Robin, as the owner of this caravan and the initiator of this mission, had to step out of the carriage and go straight to the front of the team.
"Good afternoon, Lord Robber!"
When Baron Robin saw the nearly two-meter height of the black-clothed bandit leader, the fear in his heart deepened, and after holding back for a long time, he actually popped out a greeting to the bandit leader in front of him.
The bandit leader obviously didn't expect Baron Robin to say such an opening statement, and he was frozen for a while.
But soon, a smug laugh immediately sounded on the lonely forest path: "Ha Lu Ha Lao Tzu is ready to rob you, and you actually say hello to me? Haha Lao Tzu has been out for so many years, today is a long insight, Lao Tzu has been waiting for you here for almost five days, and his subordinates have rewarded you for hiring two hundred mercenaries as escorts, it seems that this time the things are very valuable! ”
In the face of the robber leader's mocking words, Baron Robin's face was a little unnatural, but after looking at the number of robbers around him, and comparing himself to his side, he still chose to give in, the money can be earned again, and if his life is gone, there is really nothing.
"You hear me clearly! Lao Tzu is here to rob! Even if you say hello to me, it's useless! The bandit leader glanced at Baron Robin with disdain, spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground, and then sharply said, "If you know each other, just hand over your things!" ”
"Something? What is it? Are you mistaken? We're just ......" Robin panicked when he heard the words of the robber leader, and glanced in the direction of the slave girl. But Zhilu Dao has a lot to do with something, so he has to continue to calm down and pretend to be stupid to the bandit leader.
"Don't fuck and tell me you're just a bunch of fur traders!" The robber leader interrupted Robin's words with a vicious voice, slapped Baron Robin in the face, widened a pair of tiger eyes, and yelled at Baron Robin: "You kid better be smart!" Otherwise, Lao Tzu will kill you all! At that time, that thing will naturally fall into the hands of Lao Tzu! ”
As if in response to the words of the robber leader, more than 500 robbers surrounded the team of more than 300 people, and they also let out a burst of roars: "Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
Listening to the uniform shouting of killing, feeling the strong killing intent emanating from the robbers around him, although it was a bloody mercenary with a knife edge, he was terrified in his heart at this time, and his hands that were holding his weapons tighter tighter, and a trace of cold sweat unconsciously broke out in his palms.
Being slapped in the face by the bandit leader, Baron Robin couldn't help it, his noble dignity could not tolerate their provocation.
Raising his head, he looked like a big rooster who had always been proud, and shouted loudly to the bandit leader: "You are so bold, I am the baron of the Northern Moon Empire, and it is illegal for you to beat nobles!" If you are caught by the soldiers, you will go to jail! ”
Hearing Baron Robin's words, the robbers' laughter was even louder, and even the few mercenaries escorting couldn't help but sneer at the so-called Lord Baron. People dare to rob you, and they don't dare to beat you, what are you kidding, it's already a blessing not to kill you.
Seeing that the contradiction was irreconcilable, Baron Robin, who didn't want to make trouble, retreated from the team, ready to fight the robbers to the end.
In this way, the warriors have already begun to fight, and seeing that the war has broken out, Wu Wu immediately unleashed the fireball technique and threw it at the bandits' camp.
The fireball hit one of the robbers, and the fire immediately burst into flames, and several of the robbers who were close to him were also accidentally contaminated, and the three fire men ran through the field with a painful roar, and in a moment they did not move, and fell to the ground, leaving only a charred corpse on the ground, still smoking.
Worry-free was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that it would cause such a result, when they used to use small fireballs to trick the children of the same clan, they were able to dodge, at most they only burned a few hairs.
But now this scene really frightened her, the soldiers around her were fighting, and the ground was full of stumps and blood, and her face turned even whiter when she looked at these carefree.
This was the first time she had killed someone, and she had only released a third-level magic fireball technique, but she was terrified that such a small third-level magic had burned three people alive. Originally, I was expecting robbers to rob and my team to drive the robbers away, but now it's completely a situation where you die or I die.
As if feeling the discomfort of Carefree, Priest Xue Rou applied a soothing light to Carefree, removed the negative effect, came to her and said to her: "Look at your appearance, it's the first time to kill someone, it's good if you don't have the habit of doing things, being a mercenary is like this, these robbers are not good people, if you don't kill them, they will kill you, killing a bad person is equivalent to saving a good person!"
With the soothing of the light and the persuasion of Xue Rou, Sanssoi returned to normal, although her face was still a little pale, but the determined light in her eyes showed that he was fine.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Xue Rou returned to the battle, without the help of these two magicians, the battle between three hundred and five hundred had become even more difficult, and many robbers had already rushed to the carriage transporting goods.
Worry-free knew that this was not the time to be in a daze, and immediately released more fireball techniques to smash towards the bandits, each of which could kill two or three robbers, and the number of robbers gradually equaled with the mercenary team.
The leader of the robbers saw that the situation was not right, and one of the fire-based intermediate magicians on the other side actually burst out with such a strong strength, and immediately shouted at the robbers: "Kill the magician first!! ”
Hearing his shout, more robbers rushed in the direction of the carefree ones, and Long Tian and the others immediately rushed to this side to protect the magician when they saw this situation.
The battle continued, and Carefree's eyes had completed the transformation from "excitement - confusion - fear - determination", and the magic was released more quickly, and if anyone noticed, they would definitely find that Carefree could release one fireball after another with almost no need to chant spells, and there was no need to worry about the depletion of mana.
"Whew...."The black cloth covering the carriage was lifted, revealing the fox girl who was already a little sober inside, seeing this scene, both sides suddenly stopped, one of the mercenaries lifted the black cloth of the other car, and there were also six or seven fox girls inside, and they all looked at Baron Robin with strange eyes.
Baron Robin didn't hide it when he saw that the matter was revealed, but just shouted: "Beat away the robbers, and reward each of them with 100 gold coins!" ”
Hearing such a high reward, the mercenaries worked harder to return to the battle, and the robbers saw the goods but the fox girl also gave the order to evacuate, and it was very convenient for the nobles to find a place to sell female slaves. But for the notorious robbers, they may be caught as soon as they enter the city, even if they grab the fox girl, there is no place to sell it, and if they continue to fight, they will only lose both, so it is better to evacuate immediately and preserve their strength.
After the robbers left, the mercenaries also left immediately, and the smell of blood here was too strong to attract demonic beasts, so they left first and found another place to rest. Finding a place to rest again, everyone looked at Baron Robin with strange eyes.
"Do your job well, and give each of you fifty gold coins when the task is completed!" Baron Robin had no choice but to use the gold coin policy.
Sure enough, money is still everything, and everyone understands it without saying a word.
Wu Wu and the others frowned.
