As with many old movies that highlight individual heroism, the addition of personnel is always long overdue after the event is over. In fact, by the time they arrived, Barrett had already disposed of the spoils, including the captives.

The man who fell from his horse first under the attack of the scimitar, although he experienced the drag and trampling of the horse, the unconscious guy who was now unconscious when Barrett checked it still survived strongly. This has to be said to be a miracle of life.

Of course, after such a "human tragedy", the original enemy is now angry. However, for the sake of safety, Barrett still tied the guy's limbs like a piglet.

"This kid is really fast!" On horseback, he saw Barrett's guards in the distance, and a look of surprise flashed across his face. However, before the distance was closer, these people all tried to control their feelings.

When the leader came to Barrett, he smiled wryly: "Your harvest is good!" If we had known you could solve it yourself, we wouldn't have to come here. ”

"Since they don't fight themselves, I don't have any reason not to laugh at that thing. Besides, when the alarm comes in, who knows how watery these guys are. If all the enemies come here, the caravan will be in trouble if it is suddenly attacked. Barrett pointed to the two bodies that had been piled together, and shrugged helplessly.

"You're not at all polite." Now that the alarm has been lifted, the attitude of the leading guard is naturally a lot more relaxed: "But how are you going to deal with these loot?" Sell it directly to the caravan or take it to the next town to sell it yourself. ”

Don't look at the enemy in front of you as just a horse thief, but in terms of loot alone, it is Barrett's most lucrative encounter since he entered the game. The rest of the bits and pieces are not to be asked, but the weapons, armor, and horses of the three horse thieves alone are a lot of money.

"It's just too much trouble to take to the next town to sell." Barrett touched his chin and frowned, "I think it's better to make a move in the caravan." Anyway, Mr. Josephine will not fool me in this regard. ”

Although it is not easy to sell to a caravan on the spot, it seems that it is easier to be cheated by looking for a buyer in this unfamiliar environment. What's more, now that the Bloodstained Grey Flower Squad is on a mission, there is simply no time to slowly select buyers.

Another guard on the side took the opportunity to interject: "Since the harvest is so big, how about we have a drink when we get to the next town." ”

Seeing that Barrett didn't give an answer, several aboriginal scouts who followed him also took the opportunity to coax: "Don't be so stingy!" That wine money is just a drizzle compared to your gain! ”

"I don't know what the taverns in the next town will look like." Barrett gives the other a look at you.

"Don't worry! We guarantee to take you to the best taverns. The lead guard patted his chest, "Boys, come and help Mr. Barrett carry the loot back." ”

Unexpectedly, by the time Barrett returned to the caravan, the battle on the other side of the caravan was not over. The only captive was immediately taken away by the caravan's professionals and interrogated (an alternative use of a light healing potion).

And it wasn't until the battle in the other piece was over that Barrett appeared, and the adventurer scouts who came back were more or less wounded, and the strictest one was no longer able to act on his own. The high feelings in the caravan that had been brought about by Barrett's victory were suddenly offset by the casualties in front of them.

"Could it be that the other side is being attacked by a large group of horse thieves?" Barrett's face suddenly became gloomy, and at the same time, his mind began to deduce the consequences if he encountered a large group of horse thieves.

'Five is the limit, and if I have more, I will ...... but to escape' Just as Barrett frowned, Mr. Yvonne Edmonds interrupted his train of thought: "I haven't encountered any large groups of enemies!" It's just that the level of those adventurers is too low, and they are too obsessed with the spoils of the horse thieves. Compared to their greed, this price is light. ”

Hearing Yvonne Edmonds' explanation, Mario, who was standing next to Barrett, patted his breastplate happily: "Fortunately, Barrett made arrangements two days ago, otherwise I might be the one lying there today." ”

When Mr. Yvonne Edmonds heard this, he turned his head: "Then you are a lucky lad. Have a trustworthy teammate. ”

After the enemy in front of them was resolved, the second round of attacks that everyone had in mind did not appear. However, the team did not start immediately, and everyone was waiting for the results of the interrogation to decide on their next steps.

And in the end, after getting the news, everyone's hearts were full of the urge to swear: "**, I actually wasted a morning for a group of megalomaniacs." ”

The only difference is that some people have no qualms about venting it, while others choose to remain silent in order to maintain their image.

The number of horse thieves in this group who has just emerged is not large, and it is only 1o-2o people. The relatively good equipment seems to have been brought from the area where they had been active. As far as the intelligence currently available, the threat to the caravan is not great.

Except for a few core figures of the caravan, the results of the interrogation announced to the public were very vague. But based on the bits and pieces of information, Barrett seems to have pieced together something: "It looks a bit like a deserter!" ”

After making an estimate, the caravan continued on its way. Sure enough, these thorns in the mouths of the original black wind horse thieves never appeared again. It was as if he had been scared by this self-defense action of the Boreham Chamber of Commerce. Obviously, the few times they have won before, they have chosen some soft-footed shrimp.

The caravan continued to do business unaffected. After a delay of more than 1o days in the Malkin territory, he finally came to the watershed between the kingdom of Norhan and the city-states of the Northlands. Barrett also received 275 gold coins from the sale of the loot.

As we pass the boundary marker between the two countries, the scenery begins to change towards the middle of winter. It was as if even the sunlight had changed color from the cold, and from the sky was an empty and desolate grayish light.

The cold wind blew the rider tightly around his cloak, and everything was so depressed that the earth was as cold and stiff as if it had lost its life. However, the latter is a good caution for caravans. The frozen roads are very conducive to the passage of large vehicles, so winter becomes another peak business season.

Even if you need to go against the wind, you can walk about 50 kilometers in a day under such an excellent road environment. At the same time, during this journey, Barrett found that in this cold wasteland, traces of the encampment of his predecessors could be seen from time to time, and the interval between them seemed to be about fifty kilometers.

The Northland city-state, an alternative political entity on the Great 6. As the name suggests, they resemble historical Greek or Roman city-states. However, since 2oo years ago, there has been a split within the political entity.

Although they still use the same name externally, they have already been divided into three factions internally - the Federation of Seven Cities, the Mammoth Dynasty, and the Council of Nobles. Since a great war two hundred years ago, there has been constant friction between the three.

The aristocratic council or something does not need to be explained to know that it is a product of the feudal aristocratic republic. However, in the Northlands, this force does not really like to show itself. Although the combat power is good, it is basically a wall-riding faction in a neutral state.

The Mammoth Dynasty, though called a dynasty, was actually a tribal form of government among the many barbarian tribes of the Northlands. Their administrators, or rulers, are called the Golden Horde, and are elected by all the tribes every 2o years.

With a large population base, the Mammoth Dynasty has an extraordinary intimidation in the Northland city-states. 2oo years ago, when the Federation of Seven Cities was still the Federation of Three Cities, there was a war against them (there was no provocation from the predecessor of the Council of Nobles behind this, and no one believed it at all). Even now, it is still taking a strong posture of aggression internally.

The Federation of Seven Cities seems to be the weakest of the three. However, the special political structure and thriving industry and commerce make it possible for them to attract outstanding talents from all walks of life. Under the suppression of the other two parties, it was able to expand from the original three-city federation to the current seven-city federation in 2oo years, which shows its stamina. They are also Boreham Chamber of Commerce's most important trading partner in Northland.

However, in general, the situation in the Northland is extremely vast and sparsely populated, and the Boreham caravan can only camp in the wild for 3-4 days in a row. Apart from the traces left by other caravans, there is not a trace of human habitation.

"What's that?" An exclamation drew everyone's eyes to the sky. It made waves between what was otherwise plain and boring. And the reason for the exclamation was a small black dot on the gray sky.

Many of the caravans carried binoculars, and as far as Barrett knew, there were at least four in the Boreham caravan. And the small caravan that followed behind at least had this thing in the hands of the caravan leader. Suddenly, the telescope was directed towards the black dot in the sky, and in the lens, the black dot clearly revealed its true face.

A ferocious bat, a ferocious bat that is not common in this kind of weather, actually soars in the sky. Originally, at this season, the ferocious bats should have hibernated.

Mr. Josephine also got out of the carriage at this time and looked at the sky with a telescope. He didn't use an ordinary telescope, but a high-grade color that had been refined using magic, and he didn't need to adjust the distance of the lenses at all, so that the distant images kept magnifying according to his mind.

Therefore, he knew the details of the bat better than anyone else, and then he instructed the men beside him: "Form a formation, and give the order to form a formation quickly." It's annoying to encounter **, and the ferocious bat has a rope hanging from its body. ”

The rope on its body indicates that the creature must have been domesticated by some kind of ferocious bat. And the most likely of them are goblins, and they are large tribes with civilization and even systems.

As individuals, goblins have no advantage in terms of tactics or strength. More experienced leaders will use the Goblins as effective cannon fodder to attract firepower, or as powerful saboteurs who infiltrate the Goblin, so that the enemy's attention is occupied by the Goblins and the decisive offensive is about to be launched.

And although goblins are not as patient and clever as kobolds, some goblins are also notorious for their rough but durable ruining machines. What's more, as long as the number of groups reaches a certain base, there will even be goblin wild mages and alchemists in the goblin tribe, which is a nightmare for adventurers living in the wild.

Under the command of the leader, the entire caravan immediately went into action. The Boreham Chamber of Commerce has selected all the firms that are extremely familiar with this trade route. The guards of the trading house and the adventurers hired later were all the better in this industry, and the speed of response could be called impeccable.

In a matter of moments, a simple enclosure surrounded by horse-drawn carriages appeared out of thin air. The guards and adventurers were all hiding behind the improvised fence, weapons in hand, and crossbows were laid out.

The Boreham Chamber of Commerce even introduced two metal ballistas, which are prohibited heavy weapons in any country, but no one is paying attention to them these now. The arrows were pointing into the distance.

Of course, these caravans were not only in formation, a dozen scouts on fast horses were sent out from afar, and at this time, it was necessary to know who they encountered, and if there were too many goblins, the merchants could only abandon their goods and flee for their lives.

"The goblins are less than 10,000, and the 10,000 are invincible." This phrase is not only circulated among adventurers, but also many minor nobles have witnessed such stories with their castles turned into ruins.

The news from the scouts that followed was terrible - it was surrounded, and there was nowhere to run.

“…… Hold high the scarlet banner and set up a great revival will. Love the craft, study hard, push the peak, not afraid of difficulties. Your Highness's teachings will never be forgotten. Kabbalah lives in our hearts. The song was accompanied by a whining wolf howl, breaking the winter silence. As the wolf howled, everyone knew that danger was coming.

"These goblins can sing? And is it still a lingua franca? Parrot, pinch me, I must not have woken up now. "Bena's whole body seems to be messy in the wind.

Few people know that goblins are good singers, but a famous goblin singer can spread his songs to hundreds of tribes, even for dozens of generations. Although by the artistic standards of most races, the music of the goblins can only be considered vulgar and rudimentary; But once the goblins boast about their prowess and the great deeds of their tribe, the other races will know that they really have a talent for it.

It is said that each goblin tribe will coexist peacefully with a wolf pack, and they will throw some food to those wolves on weekdays, and when they fight, they will drive the wolves forward and act as the vanguard of the attack. And the goblin tribe with a heritage can even breed a powerful class like the wolf cavalry.

The first round of fighting ensued between humans and wolves. The tight fortifications came in handy, and most of the wolves were kept out. Although the wolf is a good runner, it cannot jump high, and it cannot jump over the outer wall surrounded by horse-drawn carriages.

And the space under the carriage was sealed by the wooden planks that had been lowered, and it was impossible to drill in even if it was time. A round of arrows went down, and a wolf corpse lay down outside the 'wall'. Seeing the defeat of the wolves, the goblins who followed the wolves did not dare to attack, but recalled the remaining wolves.

At the same time, outside the range of the crossbow, the goblins erected shields that looked like large shields made of some kind of bark glued together. It is 1.5 meters high and more than a meter wide. As far as humans are concerned, it can be regarded as a tower shield, and for the goblins, all the infantry are tightly hidden behind them.

Subsequently, they launched their own long-range strike tools. In Barrett's eyes, it looked like a huge twisted skeleton - a large, powerful bow that had been designed to shoot oversized arrows specifically to match it. This bow, made from the bones and tendons of giant creatures such as mammoths or ferocious rhinoceros, was designed by primitive societies to inflict a lot of damage on those behemoths. It is clear that the goblin in front of him has transformed the subject solid stand into a heavy crossbow.

In this way, the two sides were separated from each other by a long distance, and although the goblins hid behind the large shields to shoot arrows, the caravan also had temporary fortifications to rely on. After two rounds of shooting in a row, neither side suffered much. And the battle is not fierce, and there is no spectacular scene like arrows and locusts in the movie. Whether it's a defensive caravan or an attacking goblin, it seems that the number of arrows they have is limited.

Of course, the caravan was crowded together, and there were slight restrictions on movement. Every now and then, one or two unlucky eggs will be hit by a stray arrow, but because of the distance, as long as the shot is not critical, nothing will happen. The two metal ballistas were mighty at this time, and each shot would inevitably take away the goblin's heavy crossbow or shatter a large shield and the creatures behind it.

"Damn! Let's see what is it in the sky? Someone in the caravan began to point to the sky and shout again. This time, the target flew lower, and Barrett was finally able to get a full view.

One by one, the giant vultures flew in the cold north wind. It's not just giant vultures, but goblins strapped to their adorned backs. And the goblin's bulging waist bag and the orb in his hand are clearly not a good thing - tying themselves to giant vultures, these goblin pilots are unparalleled bombers.

It is said that in order to become excellent pilots who can blow up enemy lines from the sky, certain geo-refined alchemists have undergone additional training, more intelligent brains, and many, many more patience than other ranks - not to mention that they must personally steal vulture eggs from the nests of giant vultures and train these large birds to be their mounts.

Many of the Bomber Chicken pilots died in the process of their training, while the smarter ones actively drank up the featherfall or elastic body before taking off. Now the "rich and handsome" among these goblins have become a headache for Barrett and others.
