Chapter Ninety-Three: Negotiation (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection!) )
The strength of the Fox caravan is undoubtedly strong, but the strength of the Black Wind Horse Bandit is even stronger.
There are more than fifty members of the Black Wind Horse Bandits, all of whom are cavalry at the level of regular soldiers, especially the leader of the robbers, Wallace, who is also a knight-level combat power.
Therefore, even with Old John here, with the strength of the Fox caravan, they have almost no chance of defeating.
But no matter what, we have to negotiate after all, after all, although there is a gap in the strength of the two sides, it is not absolute, if the black wind horse bandits do not want to be hit hard, the two sides have only one way to compromise, and it is a big deal to pay some more tolls.
Although the Black Wind Horse Bandit was menacing, Fox still thought of it with some optimism.
But Fox is not a fool, the preparations that should be done still have to be done, the negotiation can only be an agreement between the same strong people, if you are weak like a little white rabbit, then don't blame someone for eating you in one bite.
"Quick! Fast! Get all the wagons in front! ”
Old John commanded the team to keep busy, his hand clenched the hilt of the sword, and the expression on his face became more and more serious, as the black wind horse bandits continued to approach, Old John's heart couldn't help but rise, and he could give the order to attack at any time.
For cavalry, the most important thing is speed, and with the speed of the escort, it is not as good as the Black Wind horse bandits.
The Black Wind Horse Bandits plundered all year round, and their horses were relatively abundant, and the horses they rode were all grassland horses of excellent quality, which were a full quality higher than the traveling horses of the escorts.
Therefore, in any case, the speed of the other party must be contained first, otherwise the speed difference between the two sides, coupled with the raiding experience of the Black Wind Horse Bandits, is enough to slip the entire escort team to death.
To be honest, Old John really didn't have much confidence in this battle, and he didn't know if he could successfully curb the speed of the other party just by relying on the carriages blocking in front of him.
But despite this, Old John must also make a confident gesture, otherwise if his morale completely collapses, there will really be no hope at all.
The sound of "booming" horses' hooves sounded, and the Black Wind Horse Bandits rushed straight towards the caravan, five hundred meters ...... 400 meters...... Three hundred meters ......, the Black Wind Horse Bandit got closer and closer, and it was not until they entered the range of one hundred meters that the Black Wind Horse Bandit slowly began to slow down, and finally stopped at a distance of fifty meters between the two sides.
Seeing that the Black Wind Horse Bandit finally stopped, Fox couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that there was still room for negotiation, but Old John still frowned.
Fifty meters apart, this is a very delicate distance, that is, the shortest delay, at the same time can fully accelerate the best distance, the threat of force of the Black Wind horse bandits, still hanging over the head of the entire caravan, may burst out at any time to break out a fatal blow.
The bandit team slowly stopped, Wallace drove his horse forward, Fox nodded slowly at Old John, who was also ordered to come forward to negotiate.
Eventually, the two sides came to the center of the two armies, about five meters away from each other, and then negotiations began.
Wallace was frivolous, and seemed to give people a frivolous feeling, and I saw him sitting loosely on the horse, looking old John up and down wantonly, as if criticizing, and said: "You are the so-called fast sword John!" ”
Old John was a decent man, and he looked down on Wallace, a man who turned his back on his employer, so he only replied coldly: "Since you dare to intercept the caravan when you know that I am here, do you all want to die?" ”
"Hey, hey!" Wallace sneered, grabbed two sword flowers casually, and the sword was as fast as the wind: "Although your fast sword is good, but my reputation for black wind is not in vain." ”
Wandering knights like Black Wind and Old John, firstly, their knight training secret methods are not complete, and secondly, their cultivation resources are not as sufficient as regular knights, so they say that they are knight-level combat power, and their strength is much stronger than that of ordinary quasi-knights, but compared with real kingdom knights, they still have a gap.
And the most critical problem is that valuable things like full-body iron armor are not something that poor people like them can afford, so most of them choose relatively good quality half-body armor, and naturally it is impossible to be as perfect as a real knight in terms of defense, so they finally chose to use their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and developed a combat style similar to the fast sword, which relies more on agility and skill.
Of course, there is another important reason for this, that is, their horses are not good, even if they can afford to buy full-body iron armor, the horses they ride cannot be driven.
The horses that the two of them rode were actually very good, and they were all good war horses that had reached the third grade, but such horses were actually the standard mounts of quasi-knights, like those real kingdom knights, and they rode heavy military horses with a quality of up to level four.
Only a war horse of that level can be fully clothed in iron armor, and at the same time can drive a fully armed knight, and the whole is a terrifying weapon of destruction than an armored horse.
To be honest, the knights of the warband world are obviously beyond the limits of ordinary humans, and the war horses that have reached quality four also surpass their counterparts in the modern world.
You must know that even the best quality racing horse is at best the pinnacle of third-class quality, and compared with the real fourth-class quality super war horse, the two sides are more than one level behind, and if you take out a horse at will, it is estimated that it can cause a sensation in the modern world.
Anyway, in the end, because they can't be compared with those rich and handsome, poor people like John Sr. and Wallace chose a completely different way of growing up.
Therefore, whether it is Old John or Wallace, they are all famous for being fast, whether it is Fast Sword John or Black Wind Wallace, in fact, what stands out is a fast word.
Wallace said defiantly: "Hey, old fellow, I don't know if you can still hold the sword now, and if you can still use the same fast sword as before!" ”
Old John held the hilt of his sword tightly and stared at Wallace without giving in: "You can come up and give it a try!" ”
"Hey, hey! The old guy is a tough guy to deal with! Wallace rolled his eyes, and then said to old John: "For your sake, I will give you a chance, I heard that you have obtained a large number of secret medicines, if you leave that one, I may be able to let you go!" ”
"Impossible!" Old John flatly refused: "Those secret medicines are the master's life's work, we can't leave them to you, if you are sincere in negotiating, then don't make these excessive demands, there are still a lot of goods in our caravan, at least worth more than fifty gold coins, if you can get out of the way, these goods are yours!" ”
"Oh, no, no, no!" Wallace shook his head and smiled, "Do you really think I'm negotiating with you again?" No, no, no, I'm just informing you! How do you think I got the news of you, not only that your caravan will pass through here, but also that you have the secret medicine! ”
"This!" Old John's face suddenly turned pale, and Fawkes, who was behind, also turned pale when he heard the news.
