Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Storm is Coming
"Hurry! Evacuate evacuate! The lead hunter shouted to his teammates, and all the items on the truck were abandoned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info made such a decision that was not the intention of the lead hunter at all, not even his teammates.
It is their job as hunters to complete the mission, and their mission now is to guard the cargo and transport it to the Red King's Castle. Of course, this is only a superficial task, in fact, their team's task is to let the other party plunder when encountering a raiding team, as long as they protect the merchant and leave.
This task is known only to the captain of the hunters, and even his teammates are not clear. It's not that he can't trust his teammates, as a person who gets along day and night, the captain of the hunter naturally trusts his teammates very much, but he has to obey the order.
Now is a critical period, the Captain of the Hunter and his teammates all understand, the Captain of the Hunter understands what the people above are worried about, the Captain of the Hunter believes in his teammates very much, but the people above can't fully trust them, and the Captain of the Hunter has nothing to do about it.
"I can only make amends for them when I go back." Captain Hunter thought so.
The hunter team only took the merchant away, the cargo of the convoy was completely left behind, the teammates didn't know what was going on, and the hunters who came to loot on the opposite side were also confused, but it was also a good result for them to be able to grab things without fighting, and there was a price to pay for fighting, and these costs could be saved.
As for why those people gave up the goods without even fighting, these things are not something that hunters should think about, they are things that the big men above should think about.
"Little ones, transport the things back to Mogan Village." The captain of the hunter on the plundering side said to his teammates that they didn't even check what kind of goods they were, and they weren't theirs anyway, and they didn't seem to be useful, so as not to see anything valuable and think about it.
However, it was also thanks to the fact that they didn't check what was on the vehicle, otherwise they would definitely find that there were only some worthless herbs inside, and a full convoy of inferior herbs that Nockno had secretly purchased.
Not only were the hunter teams on this side plundered, but at the same time, several convoys belonging to the Bokey caravans were robbed, but not a single battle broke out, all of them fled as soon as they encountered the raiding team, although they all thought it was strange, but no one could say where it was strange, and these hunters in charge of raiding were ordered to transport the looted goods to various designated places.

"Why don't we fight, I think we can handle those hunters?" One of the hunters was a little puzzled by the captain's decision and asked the captain.
"Why fight, I don't want to see you get hurt senselessly." The captain didn't care about this, "Anyway, the people above didn't ask us to fight, they probably just wanted those things to be robbed." Maybe those people above have some strange thoughts. ”
"Huh?" After listening to the captain's words, the teammates were even more incomprehensible, the people above actually wanted the caravan's goods to be robbed?
"War is coming." Another teammate, the Light Crossbow Hunter, saw it clearly, and he understood the moment the captain said it.
"What do you mean, war is coming?"
"The Gloria family, where the lord of the city is located, is favored by many of the hunter families of East Dolma, because the market occupied by our Bokei caravan is too large, and they don't want to see such a scenario." The Light Crossbow Hunter said, "This raid is probably a temptation by those hunter families to the Gloria family, and if the city lord doesn't react, they will intensify it even more below." ”
The captain knew better that the Balestahawk was right, that this time it was just a temptation, and the next time it might be a real battle. The captain wondered if he might take a break and wait until the storm calmed down before continuing with the mission, but what would the others think of him if he did.
Everyone is fighting, and they are avoiding the war, and then enjoying the dividends of victory in the war, and this matter is put on others, and this captain will also have a lot of opinions. But this is war, and there will be people injured and killed in war, and he doesn't want him or his teammates to become victims of war, so no amount of compensation is meaningless.
But this is a matter of the reputation of the Pokei caravan, as the hunters of the Pokei caravan and Pokay City, they enjoy the benefits of Pokei City, and their children are also educated in Pokei City, if they retreat at this time, not only other hunters, but also their wives and children will be ashamed of them.
"Captain, are you worried?" The light crossbow hunter seemed to see the captain's concerns.
"It's false to say that you are not worried, you are all worried, such a war is simply a disaster for us, those big men want to go to war, we little shrimps have to fight to the death, and in the end we will not gain anything." The captain trusts his teammates and tells them whatever comes to mind, and if he can't even trust his partners who are alive and dead, then who else can he trust?
"Raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, this sentence is used at this time, Bokai City has given us such good conditions, paid so much, and the city lord has never asked us anything, now is the time for us to repay Pokai City." The light crossbow hunter said that it didn't matter, "In other words, I don't want my son to be said by others, this child's father is a coward, like that." ”
"You're right, I don't want my wife and children to be gossiped about by others, let's start a war, people die and birds are in the sky! Besides, the chance that we will be sacrificed is only a little bit, hunting will be sacrificed, fighting will also be sacrificed, as long as we die well, it will be enough. The captain was suddenly arrogant.

"Branch president, the other party is starting to act." A steward of the Bokee caravan reported to Nockno, the steward did not panic at all, they had expected the attack and looting, and the looted things were not good things, and the caravan would not lose anything, they would arrange a large number of escorts for important goods, if the other party attacked these key protection teams, the casualties would definitely not be the Bokei caravan.
"Finally can't hold it anymore?" Nokno smiled, "Let the people below get moving, and you can inform the city lord." ”
Nockno has long been prepared, for the hunter family of the Red King Castle, the Bokei caravan has been very close, as soon as there is any trouble, they will immediately know, earlier they received the news that the people of the Red King Fort are about to make a move on the Bokei caravan, so Nockno has done something on the goods.
