Chapter 17: Chikun
"What's going on? Where did the bandits come from? You tell me clearly," Jin He panicked and pushed away the few people who were blocking him, grabbed the informant by the collar, and asked loudly.
"Just outside, a lot of people surrounded the village, and I also saw the banner of Chikun, we are finished," the man said with a frightened expression.
Jin He pushed him away, his expression was extremely ugly, he jumped down and boarded a cargo cart, and then ordered the people around him, standing on a high place and waving his hands and shouting: "Assemble, everyone assemble, prepare to meet the enemy, hurry, hurry." ”
"Don't worry about those goods anymore, gather them all first, and fight the enemy together, otherwise we will die, hurry..."
The guards of those caravans had very ugly faces, but their quality was still good, worthy of the mercenaries hired by the Motuo people, and they hurriedly threw down the work in their hands, quickly assembled, and quickly formed a large defensive circle to protect the goods and non-combatants.
After Jin He shouted angrily, he walked quickly to the village chief, and said eagerly: "Village chief, this Chikun is the leader of a large bandit team, and he is ruthless, this time I am afraid that the difficulty has passed, your village should prepare early." ”
"How could this be, it's him?" The village chief's face turned pale, the matter was too serious, the survival of the village was at this moment, the village chief didn't say a word, and hurriedly ran towards the ancestral hall and beckoned the villagers to take refuge.
"President Jinhe, what kind of strength is this Chikun, and his power is very strong?" Feng Yan stayed, looking at Jin He, who was extremely uneasy next to him.
Jin He glanced up at Feng Yan, although he was very young, he could see that he was very calm, very different from those people in the panicked caravan, Jin He exhaled, wanting to calm down.
"This Chikun is a big bandit force in the beast country, there are nearly two thousand people in his bandit group, specializing in roaming around the territory of the beast country, robbing a lot of people's homes, some small caravans can't escape at all after encountering them, even the county government of the beast country has been attacked by him, very fierce" Jin He looked frightened.
"Even the county government has been attacked? Isn't there a wanted and captured high-level of the beast country? Just let him make such a mess in the beast country and affect the stability of the country? Feng Yan was a little surprised, he didn't think that this group of bandits would be so bold and dare to attack a county government, you must know that this is an important territory of a country.
"How could he not have been arrested? But this Chikun is very powerful, very unusual, he has served in the army, and he has also been an officer of the Holy Alliance, he knows many people, he has inside information, and he is not in one place, he wanders around in various counties, it is very difficult to catch him. Jin He smiled bitterly.
"And this Chikun's strength is also very strong, he can open the four veins, not only is he ruthless, but there are also many strong people under his hands, and the bandit groups in the beast country are very afraid of him and dare not confront him." Speaking of this, Jin He glanced at Feng Yan with some disdain, as if to say that you, the master of the fake four-vein sect, have a real one this time.
Feng Yan didn't care about his eyes, but said lightly: "Then how did this Chikun's power become stronger?" As an officer of the Holy Alliance, it's impossible to be a bandit, right? And the beast kingdom can't let a traitor continue to go free, right? ”
"Well, who would have thought before that? An officer of the Holy Alliance would actually be a bandit, with no identity, no glory, and no stable life, but someone went to do it," Jin He shook his head helplessly and said.
"Listen to Chikun himself, he served in the coalition army, in an expedition commanded by the coalition army, he was surrounded by the enemy, his teammates fought bloodily, only he and two seriously injured brothers escaped, and when they returned to the coalition army, they were sent back to the beast country like goods, but the beast country did not treat them as heroes, just found a small place and threw them over, leaving them alive and dead"
"The beast country also said that they were not injured in the battle in their own country, they can't be regarded as national heroes, and the country can't raise two useless people who can't act, and even Chikun's family doesn't recognize him anymore, he and his two seriously injured brothers live under the discrimination of others, and they have a very difficult life."
"Finally one day, the two brothers died, the reason for the death was the most unacceptable to Chikun, because he died of cold and starvation in the cold winter, but no one sympathized, but as if he deserved it, Chikun buried the body and walked to the location of a bandit team"
"Chikun defeated the leader of the bandit group and took his position, and since then the bandit group he led has become a terrifying force, even the Holy Alliance Army he dares to provoke" Jin He's face showed a look of fear, this time the caravan was afraid of heavy losses.
Feng Yan didn't speak anymore, but looked in the direction of the entrance of the village with a bright face, but he wanted to get to know this Chikun.
The guards at the entrance of the village began to retreat, and soon some well-dressed strangers appeared, and a banner was erected in the ranks, on which was a strange monster that had never been seen before, with bloodthirsty eyes and sharp claws, which looked devouring.
The bandits approached slowly and in an orderly manner, approaching the defensive circle of the convoy with an oppressive momentum, their sharp weapons in their hands, their expressions fierce as wolves, staring at the people in the caravan as if they were their prey.
"Sure enough, it's him, Chikun, this "Tamary" beast banner also appeared, representing the "Tatar" of greed and murder, Chikun is in the team, he personally went out to loot, we are more auspicious" Jin He saw the flag, more frightened than seeing those bandits, his body actually began to tremble slightly, and his eyes were flustered.
Feng Yan frowned slightly, this Chikun is really not ordinary, he actually trains bandits like a rabble as an army, and after these bandits are trained, their combat effectiveness is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary bandits, and I am afraid that they can resist some weaker armies.
"Brother Feng, come here, I have something to say to you" The village chief didn't know when he appeared aside, beckoned slightly to Feng Yan, and looked solemn as if he had something important to say to Feng Yan.
Feng Yan didn't hesitate, walked over and said, "Village Chief, is there something wrong?" ”
The village chief took a cautious look at Jin He and those caravan guards, and then said softly: "Brother Feng, in fact, I have a premonition on this day, our village chief is very likely to be targeted by bandits to replenish supplies for the Motuo caravan, but I didn't expect it to be the demon Chikun."
"But I've already dug a tunnel with some villagers that leads to a cave outside the village, and I want to ask you to send the children, women and children out of the village, and then hide them, and then go incognito to live elsewhere when the rumors pass."
Looking at the village chief's eager eyes, Feng Yan shook his head, and the village chief suddenly became very disappointed and said, "Brother Feng, don't you want to?" We'll stay with the caravan to delay you, and you can just escape into the tunnels with the children. ”
"Village chief, you misunderstood, I mean we don't have to run away at all, that Chikun can't win" Feng Yan smiled, comforting in a very positive tone.
"Brother Feng, I'm afraid you don't know who this Chikun is, but..."The village chief anxiously wanted to explain.
"Village Chief, President Jin has already told me just now, I know this Chikun, you don't have to worry, I am sure to win him" Feng Yan's expression was determined, as if Chikun was vulnerable.
"Also, if you are worried, the village chief, take everyone to avoid it first, I will stay to help the caravan resist the enemy, and when the bandits retreat, go quickly, but you be careful, don't let Jinhe and them know" Feng Yan glanced at Jinhe, who was hurriedly commanding in the distance, and said to the village chief.
"However, Chikun's strength is very strong, and his bandit group is well-trained, and even the guards of the county government have been defeated, the caravan is probably not its opponent, even if you are strong, you can't resist" The village chief said worriedly, if Feng Yan stayed, I am afraid it will be over.
"Village chief, I know my strength, I won't hit the stone with an egg, among the pulse masters in this world, there are ten people to block, a hundred males, a thousand kings, ten thousand enemies, and one hundred thousand slaughters, although I can't reach the strongest now, but at least I can be regarded as a king!" Feng Yan's understatement seems to be just telling a distant fact.
The village chief was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Feng Yan to say such a domineering thing, seeing that persuasion was useless, and Feng Yan said it so powerfully, the village chief had to agree to lead the villagers to escape into the tunnel to avoid trouble.
Feng Yan watched the village chief's panicked back disappear, and then turned his head to look at the frightened Jin He and the nervous guards, as well as the elite bandits blocking the entrance of the village, for a while, the heavens and the earth seemed to freeze, everyone held their breath, and there was no movement.
