Chapter 92: The Horse Thief
When Li Huailin and Jared got out of the car, the horse thief had already run very close, about 300 meters away from the team. The guards of the convoy also began to assemble in front of the horse thieves, and since they were born as sergeants, the guards were very familiar with the cavalry formation, and they were quickly prepared.
A distance of 300 meters is nothing more than 20 seconds for a team of horse thieves. Soon the horse thieves rushed to the front of the convoy, but did not rush to attack, but stopped in front. Li Huailin observed a little, and there were about seventy or eighty horse thieves who rushed over, each with one horse.
The team was divided to the left and right, and the three horse thieves who were led by it walked from the inside of the team to the front. The three horse thieves were very young. The first one looked to be only twenty-five or sixteen years old, and he looked pretty good, with short blond hair, and the whole person looked energetic and energetic. And unlike other horse thieves, this guy is wearing a piece of chain mail, which looks more like a warrior's profession. Li Huailin glanced at this guy's name, Gilbert.
Behind him on the left is a male NPC younger than him, estimated to be about the same age as Li Huailin, but the person is relatively ordinary, at least not so handsome compared to the leader Gilbert. He has short black hair that is more common in the mainland, wears a leather armor, and the name of the NPC is written by Marven.
And the person behind Gilbert's right side made Li Huailin pay a lot of attention, not for other reasons, but because this guy is too conspicuous. Tall and muscular, sitting on the horse, Li Huailin was worried about this horse, but this is not the point, the point is that this guy actually has two horns on his head.
"Orcs?" Li Huailin certainly remembered the six races in the game's setting.
On the bright side, the Terrans, needless to say. Elves are characterized by their super pretty (female) or handsome (male) faces and pointed ears. Dwarf, bright square cup, main characteristic: short. On the dark side, there is almost no difference between demons and humans, except that the color of the eyes is a strange red. Orcs, the male side will automatically help you increase your height, and you will become very strong, but there will be more horns on your head, wolf ears and other things. Women's bodies don't change much, and their heads turn into cute things like rabbit ears and cat ears. Undead: A race as tragic as the dwarves, only those who have no desire for appearance at all will choose.
And this horse thief is an orc NPC at first glance, and judging from the two horns, it should be an orc of the Minotaur race. Although it is a very normal setting in this game, Li Huailin is still more curious when he sees races other than humans for the first time. The name of this orc NPC is Gurem. Thunder Horn, the name is strange enough.
"Who is the person in charge of the caravan in front, come out for me." The horse thief Gilbert stood at the front and shouted at Li Huailin and the others.
"I am." Jared stood at the front and said to Gilbert, "What's the matter?" ”
"I'm Gilbert, the leader of the Nasser Thieves, and now it's a robbery, hand over all the goods, I can guarantee your lives, otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless." Gilbert shouted confidently, and as he shouted, the seventy or so horse thieves behind him raised their weapons at the same time, and then shouted in unison, intimidating each other with their voices.
"Daring horse thief, do you know whose cargo this is, this is the Marquis of Filmut! Dare to hit the head of the Marquis, aren't you afraid of death! Jared shouted.
"Marquis of Filmut? Who is it? Gilbert on the other side obviously didn't know the name, and then Marven next to him stepped forward a little, and then whispered a few words in Gilbert's ear, which should have introduced the Marquis of Filmt.
After a while, Gibert nodded: "Marquis of Filmut?" Sounds bluffing, but so what? This is the province of Udesa, not the city of God, and here, I, Gilbert, are the ones who call the shots! I warn you again, leave your things behind, you can leave, or we're welcome, I'll count to ten, and you have to answer clearly! ”
"Damn, I met a dumbfounder." Jared didn't expect that the other party wouldn't even give the Marquis of Filmut face, if this was really known by the Marquis of Filmut, according to his character, it would definitely be a matter of extermination, but how to inform the Marquis of Filmut now.
Gilbert on the other side of "Ten or Nine...... had already begun to count.
"Listen up, everyone!" Jared stood in the crowd and said, "Everyone knows who these goods are, everyone thinks about the temper of the Marquis, if you fight now, win the battle and go back to receive the reward, and die in the battle, your wives and children will not be implicated." If you take the initiative to hand over your things, not only will you be executed when you go back, but your wives and children will be reduced to slaves. ”
Everyone's faces changed, and they thought about what was indeed going on, and the Marquis of Filmut did such a thing. A few members of the Chamber of Commerce, who still wanted to hand over their things, immediately gave up on the idea and began to think about how to deal with it. And the people of the escort were originally sergeants, they only waited for orders from their superiors, and now Jared said that they were going to fight back, and they were immediately ready for battle.
"Can you fight with us, this warrior? If you win, I will reward you with a lot of money when I go back. Jared turned his head and said to Li Huailin again.
System Prompt: Commander Jared issues an A-class mission to defend the caravan. Acceptable or not.
"No!" Li Huailin refused without thinking about it, this chamber of commerce is a very rich organization at first glance, in case he rewards himself with ten dollars or something, as soon as he is deducted by the system, his deposit will be cleared directly, and it is also an A-level task, and the experience will not be less, who will do such a pit task.
"Warrior, even your own life is in danger now, so it is better for us to fight the horse thieves together." Seeing Li Huailin's refusal, Jared wanted to persuade him again, although he didn't know Li Huailin's strength, but it was true that there were multiple people and multiple combat powers.
"If you don't have time, you can call yourself." Li Huailin resolutely resists this kind of pit daddy task, he has been pitted too many by NPCs recently, and he must slow down.
"This ...... Alas......" Jared sighed, but he didn't know Li Huailin very well and couldn't force it, so he turned around and shouted to the members of the Chamber of Commerce and the guards below, "We have no way out, we can only fight to the death!" Grab your weapons and fight! Only the battle can go back alive! ”
"Fight!" Everyone shouted together, even the members of the Chamber of Commerce who had little combat ability on the other side shouted together, just to strengthen their own courage.
"Doesn't look like there's any need to count." Of course, Gilbert on this side also found the choice on the other side, so he didn't need to count at all, waved his hand, and said to the horse thieves behind him, "Brothers, the negotiations are broken, prepare for battle!" ”
"Ou roar!!" The horse thieves behind him roared together.
"Kill!" Gilbert pulled out his two-handed sword behind his back, stepped on his war horse, and rushed directly to the first, and with his roar, Marven and Gurem behind him also immediately took out their weapons and followed behind Gilbert. Behind them were seventy or so horse thieves, and although the cries were haphazard, the sprinting procession was surprisingly neat, as if they had been trained in some way.
On the opposite side were more than seventy people, and on the other side there were only twenty guards and a dozen ordinary caravan members, and the merchants who had little combat effectiveness could be said to be an absolute disadvantage. At the beginning, the guards did not intend to get on their horses and rush each other, but directly used the carriage and horses as obstacles to form a formation, and the posture of defensiveness.
In the face of the defensive formation, Gilbert, who rushed to the front, had no intention of making a detour at all, and rushed directly to the place with the most people. The guards looked at Gilbert who rushed over, and at the same time made a spear movement, preparing to let Gilbert himself crash into the spear and stab him to death.
What I didn't expect was that Gilbert pulled the reins directly in his hand, and at the same time stepped on the spurs with both feet, and after the horse under his feet neighed, he actually jumped up directly. Just as several of the guards were stunned, Gilbert swung his great sword and stabbed directly into the face of the nearest soldier.
With a sound of flesh penetrating, the soldier instantly fell to the ground, and Gilbert crashed into the escort group with men and horses, directly opening a bloody path.
"Kill me!" Gilbert jumped off his horse, which could no longer stand, and shouted with a bloody sword.
