Chapter Twenty-Six: Catching the Strong

Thirty miles west of the Viking Mountains is a narrow mountain trail flanked by high mountains and set aside for walking. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Crossing this trail leads to the interior of the province of Greater Dacia.

The topography of the entire province of Dacia is high in the north and low in the south, especially in the Viking Mountains in the northeast, while the port of Guardland and the town of Custer are not far from the Viking Mountains, but the topography is very different.

This mountain road is one of the most important passages from the port of Guardland and the town of Custer to the interior of the province of Dacia, and of course because of the steep terrain and the narrow mountain road, few caravans pass through here, but some slaves are arranged to be traded here.

"My lord, we've been here for a day, and we haven't even seen a ghost, is your information wrong?"

Zhang Ke, who was on the mountain peak on the side, asked Li Zhan, because the temperature at the top of the mountain is much lower than at the foot of the mountain, and his legs are also incapacitated, but as a shadow guard, he naturally has his own set of skills to fly the eaves and walk the wall, even if his feet are injured, he can still pass through other support points and slowly climb, and at the same time point out the foothold of the force to others.

"The Persians are even more brutal than the Romans, and I believe that the Romans will certainly not be able to stand the dominance of the country they enslaved before, so the escape will definitely occur, and we are now going to wait in a hurry, as long as we catch one, then ten or twenty will have it, and then 500 Romans or Roman slaves will not be a problem." Li Zhan sighed in the palm of his hand and rubbed it vigorously, "It's strange, it's not winter yet, why is it so cold?" ”

Zhang Ke whispered: "My lord, I heard that the summer here is dry and hot, and the winter is mild and rainy, but if it rains, it is really cold, and now the temperature has dropped so much, it seems that it is very likely to rain." ”

Dry and hot summers and mild and rainy winters? Li Zhan suddenly remembered, this Dacia province is located in the Mediterranean zone, and some have a Mediterranean climate, with mild and rainy winters, so the current climate decline is going to be winter?

While the two were talking, several figures appeared at the entrance of the mountain road, and then more and more people entered the mountain road, and their voices could also be heard.

"My lord, here we are!" Zhang Ke saw someone entering the mountain road and quietly reminded Li Zhan.

At this time, Li Zhan waved to him, signaled him to be silent, and then said softly to the other soldiers around him: "After most of the people have entered the mountain road, we will notify the brothers in front of us to push those mountain rocks down, and then our people will copy from the back, remember that we want a strong man, a man!" ”

The soldiers behind him were also overjoyed when they heard the strategy, and it was not in vain that they arrived here early and prepared the mountains and rocks for a day, and now their task was to complete the capture of the strong men, and they would be able to complete the task by catching 500 of them.

Of course, where is it so simple to catch the strong men, and another point is that when you catch them, it is also a process of looting, all the captured strong men will be destitute, and their freedom will also be in the hands of Li Zhan. If they want to be free, then the only way to do this is to pray for Li Zhan and their mercy, or for someone to rescue them.

These were Roman refugees, and many were slaves who had escaped from the estate. Because of the Persian invasion of the province of Dacia, passing through the port of Wesland and the town of Custer, as for the fairs of the Viking Mountains, it was as if Persia had reached an agreement with the Great Han, and Persia had no intention of taking it. So most of the people who fled here were refugees from Port Guardland and Castel Town.

The fleeing army slowly entered the mountain road, and seeing that the previous few people were about to leave the mountain road, several soldiers around Li Zhan were anxious: "My lord, they are going out, what should we do, when will we do it?!" ”

"Wait, when their main body enters the middle of the mountain path!"

"My lord! The main body has entered the center! ”

"Action!"

At the sound of an order, several soldiers in front heard Li Zhan shouting and acting, and immediately pushed the mountain rocks that had been blocked down the mountain road.

These rocks are not particularly large stones, the size of two basketballs, but the geology here itself is relatively special, plus the mountain road passes through the middle, and the rock walls on both sides are also weathered, as long as you touch it lightly, there will be a large piece of gravel falling.

And these rocks are like catalysts in chemistry, after a few pieces roll down, followed by a large piece of rock falling down the mountain road, causing a chain reaction that the whole piece of large rock falls, and the exit of the mountain road is sealed to death.

The refugees who had gone out earlier had accelerated their runs, for fear of being injured by the rocks because they were too close, and the refugees behind did not know what was happening in front of them, only to hear that someone was shouting that there was a landslide, a landslide, and then the whole team stopped.

Now most of the refugees are blocked in the mountain road, and at the entrance of the mountain road, the refugee team has also become a finishing stage, and before they can react to the blockage of the road, Li Zhan took Zhang Ke and their thirty people to the foot of the mountain at the entrance.

"Ahh Is it the Persians?! ”

"It's not! Is it a barbarian? Germanic? ”

"It's a horse thief!"

At this time, the refugees were complaining that it was not easy to escape from the Persian invasion, and now they were falling into the hands of people who did not know which side it was.

Because of the narrowness of the mountain road, those people at the end of the refugee queue did not know how many Li Zhan and they had, but it seemed that the entrance to the mountain road had been blocked, and the war had left a huge shadow in their hearts, and they were afraid, afraid.

Many men have protected their families behind them, their eyes glistening with compassion, and many have begun to pray that there will be no more bloody scenes of slaughter. And some of the women had already begun to scream wildly, for fear of becoming slaves of these horse thieves. As for the refugees, who were slaves in the first place, there was only silence, and that was the final answer.

"Listen up! I am Li Zhan, the Marquis of the Fourth Army of Changji under the tent of the Marquis of Dingyuan of the Great Han Dynasty, and now I will follow you 500 people to the market in the Viking Mountains, and I will provide you with food and gold coins, as long as you follow me to do a good job. Li Zhan walked at the front and shouted at the refugees.

And at this moment, suddenly a man ran out of the refugee crowd and shouted: "Master, master! It's me! I'm McCann! ”

McCann, a tall and thin black man, hurriedly ran in front of Li Zhan and cried bitterly at Li Zhan: "Master! Amir was killed! ”
