Chapter 32: The Dunes
The caravan traveled alone in the lonely desert, but in this loneliness brewed more and more surging not alone. www.biquge.info When the cold crescent moon slowly flew into the sky, the three forces of light and darkness were finally about to stir up sparks of collision.
It's a huge sand dune, and it's a gateway to Windblown Sand City, and while the annoying monsters are nowhere to be seen in the night, there are plenty of players lurking behind the dunes.
The merchant wiped the sweat from his palms on his trouser legs, and cautiously poked his head out to stare at a depression beneath the dunes, where he would activate the signal as soon as the caravan around the dunes appeared, and his men would leak their greedy fangs and swallow it up.
And behind the caravan, there are two groups of forces from Wind and Sand City.
There are many people on the neutral side, and the caravan of followers from afar is moving forward, and several high-level executives are riding in luxury carriages dragged by strange beasts, and there are shy beauties hidden in the carriages, just like going out on an outing.
On the neutral side, there are small troop troops, scouts sent by Amhal, who do not participate in the battle, but are only responsible for transmitting the critical battle situation back to Windsand City.
Suddenly, the scout chief waved his hand to stop the team, looked at the tall sand dunes in the distance, and was silent for a moment and said to a capable subordinate: "Send a message to the city lord, there are people from other worlds ambushing in front of the camel caravan, and the number is not small!" ”
"Drive!"
Turning the horse's head, the scout rode back to Sand City without saying a word, and soon disappeared into the desert.
The chief scout continued to command: "Spread them all, be careful of being discovered by the enemy, and remember not to delay the great cause of the city lord!" ”
Hearing this, none of the scouts answered, and all of them rode away in silence, except for the chief scout, who stayed where he was, looked at the direction of the caravan and said, "My lord, what choice will you make?" ”
……
The big knight who is responsible for escorting the camel team on behalf of the official of Sand City is Amhal's subordinate, but this subordinate is not to Amhal's favor, if he didn't have the strength of the big knight, Amhal would have killed him secretly.
This time to escort the camel caravan, it is obviously a heavy task, but in fact, it is to eliminate hidden dangers, otherwise the major event of being the king, how can a great knight's important force be sent to escort this camel team that is destined to go and never return?
The Grand Knight of the Caravan was well aware of Amhal's ambitions, and the latter tried his attitude several times, but he never expressed his support. Therefore, the nominal henchman of the city lord became a victim of Amhal's claim to be king.
The sand dunes slowly approached, and the restless aura hidden in the shadows became more and more obvious, but the great knight who knew this well never said a word, and watched the camel caravan, which was related to the safety of the people of the entire Wind and Sand City, fall into the trap step by step.
But suddenly, with the passing of the camel bell, the whole camel team actually stopped.
The great knight raised his eyelids and glanced at the old city lord who had come from the imperial beast, but he didn't make any moves.
"Bandel!"
Coming to the Grand Knight, the Old City Lord called out the name of the Grand Knight, who had appointed Bandel to take charge of the Windblown Sand City Guard before leaving office, but was later stolen by Amhal.
Bandel still didn't say anything, he has always been indisputable, he can't get along with people, and even the most basic communication is a little difficult, so he is used to doing it, not talking.
"Old City Lord!"
Bandel's voice was a little cold, even in the face of the old city lord who had brought him up by hand.
"Hmm!"
The old city lord and the old god nodded, he was already accustomed to Bandel's coldness, pointed to the sand dunes and asked aloud, "What do you think of there?" ”
Bandel didn't answer, just shook his head lightly, his meaning was very simple, it was not advisable to go around the sand dunes and march towards Lu Gaoin, the old city lord immediately understood what he meant, and continued: "I now ask you to take these caravans behind you to that side, can you do it?" ”
The old lord pointed to the other side where the huge sand dunes were, opposite to the ambush point.
"Huh?" Bandel groaned slightly, looked in the direction leading to the depths of the desert, and nodded in response, "Hmm! ”
Sometimes silence is a powerful force, and Bandel undoubtedly possesses it, so the old lord is at ease in handing over the caravan carrying valuables to him. Of course, several Qingluan, including Guo Erli, also followed, and there were also most of the old city lord's capable subordinates!
The old city lord returned and signaled to Jiang Luan, and then the camel bell rose again, but the camel team suddenly split into two, one team was like a moth to a fire, knowing that there was a great danger at the turn of the dune, but still moving forward, while the other team led by Bander was in the surprised eyes of a group of people in the rear, and went the other way.
Seeing this, the scout chief immediately ordered one of his subordinates to return to the city to report the news, and the head of the neutral faction, who was only interested in pleasure, immediately let go of the shy beauty in his arms, braved the cold wind to meet in the moonlight, and had a short but intense meeting.
At this time, the old city lord riding a desert wolf camel, escorted by Jiang Luan and the weeping willows of that year, could already see the edge of the low-lying area!
"The old city lord is so shrewd that he must have sensed the danger, so he had already arranged everything, one group of camels to cover for another, and it was obvious that all the wealth of those untouchables was concentrated in the camel caravan escorted by Bandle!"
A big merchant in Windblown Sand City exclaimed, his eyes glinting with excitement as he looked at the heavy cloth bag.
"That's right! We can't hide it now! All of us brought the Family Guard out, for what? For that wealth! The wealth of all the untouchables awaits us now, and we must get it before those aliens! ”
"So what are we waiting for? All the guards of the Fire Liquor Consortium obey the order, drink all the wine bags in your waists, and seize the wealth in front of you! ”
A neutral leader who had politely rejected the old city lord in the afternoon shouted impassionedly, accompanied by a burst of morale-boosting shouts.
Most of the neutrals in Windblown Sand City are mercenary merchants, they don't believe in the god of the desert, they only believe in profit. So from beginning to end, they have not absolutely fallen to one side, until now.
After plundering this life-saving wealth, the neutrals will definitely turn against the old city lord, and it is impossible to spit out the wealth in their hands, so they will fall to Amhal's side and merge into the Free Church. They don't care about the lives of the city dwellers, anyway, the Free Church will allocate food and relief when the time comes.
And just as a group of wolf-like Wind and Sand City warriors charged towards Bandel's camel caravan, the old city lord and Jiang Luan also came to the edge of the depression.
The player businessman, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately waved away the previous question of the sudden stop of the camel bell, and pulled the signal flare in his hand without hesitation.
A bright red streamer rose into the sky and then disappeared, but suddenly a torrent surged from the huge sand dune.
The player in the dark yellow cloak galloped down and rushed towards the somewhat panicked caravan. They were hired by the big merchants, and their only task was to make a fortune for the big merchants.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
The big merchant seemed to see that the wealth had fallen into his pocket, and urged vigorously, and the players around him quickly passed by, and then he saw the player who was reprimanded by him before, and he was furious and shouted again: "What are you doing in a daze? Do you know how much money you will lose in the time you waste? ”
"That's a lot of money, right!"
Very unusually, the player who had previously only bowed his head to listen to the training raised his head and replied in a smooth voice.
“…… Right! The big businessman was suddenly stunned, "Now that you know what else you are rubbing?" Rush me! ”
"Why should I listen to you?"
The player asked, "Why should I listen to you if you pay me a small amount?" ”
The big merchant was choked and speechless, and pointed at the player in surprise and trembled with anger.
"Why should I work for you when you have so much wealth in front of you?"
At this point, the big merchant was a little panicked, because he saw some players who overheard this sentence stop, or even more desperately rushed out.
"You...... You can't do this! You register on the World Trading Forum, and you will pay liquidated damages! ”
These players are also brought in by the big businessmen through the World Trading Forum, and they have already received a part of the deposit, and in case of private possession, they must pay a huge amount of liquidated damages.
"But as long as I grab enough wealth, it's no problem!"
The player said calmly, even a little scariously, "I think that much wealth is enough for all of us to pay liquidated damages and make a lot of money, which is much stronger than the wages you pay, so ......"
Suddenly there was no follow-up.
"So what?"
The big merchant asked tremblingly, an irresistible fear welling up in his heart.
"So you can die!"
The player said it very simply, and the sword was also very crisp, and the big merchant died even more simply.
"What are you doing in a daze?"
After killing the employer, the player looked at the stunned accomplices next to him and shouted, "Go grab it!" ”
Then there was a puff of smoke and washed down the hill.
Then a group of even more wolf-like players rushed down the hill.
