Chapter 53: Hump Forest Raids the Caravan

"Employer, you said that there are bandits in this area of the Hump Forest, it doesn't seem to be true! I haven't even seen a single figure along the way, where are the bandits? Look at how much money you've spent. A caravan guard with a tan beard sarcastically said to the merchant, causing the other caravan guards to laugh.

This is a caravan from Živa Cheze, which is departing from Fesdena on the way back to Živachełe, passing through the Hump Forest. There were sixteen people in the caravan, and all but the merchants were caravan guards hired by the merchants at a high price in the tavern.

Because of the serious banditry in the Fesdena area, few merchants are willing to take the risk of coming here to sell goods, and the local demand for materials is seriously insufficient, so the price is extremely low, compared with the price of materials in the Riwa Car, there is a lot of arbitrage space in the middle, so a small number of merchants are willing to take the risk of hiring caravan guards in the tavern at a high price, and buy materials at a low price in Fesdena to sell them in Riwa Che.

At this time, the caravan merchants walking in the Hump Forest also muttered. The merchant thought in his heart that if he didn't hire this group of caravan guards, he would save nearly a thousand dinars on this trip, and when he thought of this, the merchant's heart was like a knife, as if he had suffered a loss if he had not met bandits along the way.

Most of these caravan escorts are escort-oriented, and have a special organizational structure, so their equipment is specially distributed by the agency. Caravan guards are generally wearing leather hats, leather armor, and even the leg guards are made of leather, their weapons are a spear with a log shield, and they also ride a black and white pack horse under their crotch, so their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, which is why the caravan guards are quite expensive to hire. A caravan escort on horseback does not have to worry about dealing with ordinary bandits with very different combat strengths, and everyone does not take the bandit matter seriously.

"The task is complete, and you are going to find Miss in the alley of the city again?" One of the caravan guards teased the other companion and smiled evilly.

"Finding a young lady is one of the joys of life. In this world, spending a lot of money to marry a daughter-in-law and go home may not live to give birth to a child. Even if the child is born, maybe it's not his own, it's better to find a young lady, isn't it? The other caravan guard laughed, a smug look on his face.

"That's right! The one you called last time was good, it's young, it's in good shape, it suits my taste, why don't you introduce it to me when you go back to the city, how about it? I'll give you two dinars for the referral fee! At the beginning, the ridiculous caravan guard was not ashamed, and said bluntly.

The companion immediately turned his head to look at him, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Is this true? ”

"Dang......" Before the caravan guard could finish speaking, a sharp arrow suddenly flew out of nowhere, hitting him in the throat, and his throat immediately warmed, and blood foamed from the corner of his mouth, and the guard reflexively covered his hands to his throat, his eyes widened, and then he fell off his horse and died on the ground.

Seeing that the companion who was still talking to him just now died in the blink of an eye, the guard was also shocked on the spot, and then looked around sharply, and in the chaos, he saw countless sharp arrows flying out of the bushes, shooting at himself and other companions, many other companions were also shot off the horse by sharp arrows like the companion just now, and the miserable person was trampled alive by the frightened pack horse under the horse's hooves after falling off the horse, and the flesh and blood flew sideways, which was unbearable.

"Bandits! It's bandits! As soon as the arrow landed in the crowd, the caravan guards reacted immediately. However, who would have thought that the bandits would have bows and arrows, not to mention that the archers and cavalry were well known, and the situation was unfavorable to the caravan guards immediately became apparent.

After the first rain of arrows, four or five of the guards rolled over and fell off their horses. In the blink of an eye, the kung fu team lost one-third of its combat power, and the other caravan guards could not withstand it. Saving his life, he immediately ignored the thousand dinars promised by the merchant, and rode towards the exit of the Hump Forest Path. One caravan guard began to flee, and the other caravan guards couldn't bear it anymore and fled with them, and their morale suddenly became sluggish, and the ranks were not in accordance with the rules and scattered.

"Everyone, hold your ground, hold your ground, they're just a bunch of bandits, we're much better equipped than them, and we're riding horses, so there's no need to be afraid." The middle-aged man who was a little older in the caravan guard suddenly shouted loudly, trying to reorganize the scattered guards. Witt had already noticed this man, who was supposed to be the leader of the caravan guards, and immediately raised the oak bow in his hand and aimed it at the man's shoulder. The moment the leader of the guard was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, the pain was unbearable, and he turned over and fell off his horse. Seeing that the leader did not know whether he was alive or dead, the other guards became even more agitated, and continued to gallop towards the exit of the forest road, regardless of the life and death of their companions.

Just as the caravan guards had not traveled far on their horses, a wicked smile curled into the corner of Star's mouth when he was hiding in the forest, and quickly raised the two-handed sword in his hand and cut the thick rope on the stump. The heavy stone tied to another complete thick rope lost its restraint and immediately rolled down the slope, pulling the thick rope to bring up the thick rope that had been buried under the dirt surface of the trail, and the thick rope was immediately tightened and straight.

The caravan guards at the front were galloping down the path on horseback, but they tripped over a thick rope that suddenly jumped out from under the surface, and they fell to the ground with their men and horses. The caravan guards were bruised and swollen and dizzy.

Before the guards who had fallen from their horses could recover their senses, a dozen cottage guards armed with wooden spears suddenly sprang out of the bushes. By the time the guards came to their senses, the tip of the spear was already aimed at them, and they couldn't move.

The rest of the caravan guards saw that their companions in front of them suddenly tripped over their horses and horses, and immediately stopped their pack horses under their crotches. The front hooves of the pack horse kicked in mid-air, and then it came to an emergency stop.

Just as the guards had just stopped their pack horses and breathed a sigh of relief, more than twenty cottage guards suddenly sprang out of the bushes and surrounded themselves, among which more than a dozen cottage guards held bows and arrows aimed at them. The caravan guards immediately felt cold in their hearts, and they cried out again and again in their hearts, they should not have been greedy for Dinardo, and ventured to Fesdena, but today they were afraid that they would die in the Hump Forest.

Several caravan guards on horseback were already ready to swear to the death to pull a cushion on their backs, but who knew who in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly: "Those who descend will not be killed!" ”

Immediately afterwards, all the guards of the cottage roared three times in unison: "Those who descend will not be killed!" Those who descend will not be killed! Those who descend will not be killed! ”

The caravan guards immediately wavered, and the voices of surrender began to spread to each other. But how could the merchant be willing to let them surrender, once they surrendered, it would mean that they would lose all their money. Then the merchant immediately agitated: "The bandits will not leave prisoners, do not be deceived by them!" They're going to plunder our supplies and destroy them! As soon as the merchant spoke, the caravan guards seemed to wake up, and their eyes became firm again.

"Of course, you can choose to die heroically, but I believe that no one will be sad about your death, you will die a meaningless death!" Witt said contemptuously as he stood in the middle of the bushes in the crowd. The strange plaid leather armor and one of its calls made it easy to recognize Witt as the leader of the group.

The caravan guards looked at each other, indicating that they were willing to surrender as long as Witt didn't kill them. When Willy agreed, the caravan guards dropped their spears and wooden shields, rolled down from their pack horses, and fell to their knees on the ground.

Witt immediately ordered the guards of the cottage to keep the caravan guards in one place, and then said to them: "The gentleman will not chase after him, so you can go back if you leave all your clothes, weapons, and property, and if you do not want to leave your belongings, you can leave them all behind." ”

As soon as the words fell, the caravan guards quickly took off their armor, left their belongings and hurriedly fled into the dense forest without a trace, causing the cottage guards to laugh.
