The caravan had only stayed in Hugawa for a day and began to continue on its way, after all, it would take at least nearly a month for the caravan to reach the imperial capital at the pace of the caravan.

Looking at the extremely cautious Captain Ike who led the caravan, Chen Kai felt very relieved. Although the strength of the other party is not particularly strong, as a veteran who participated in the Lianghu War in the past, this caravan commander is very conscientious.
Before the caravan left, the commander began to be busy, running before and after checking the safety of the entire caravan. and also personally pulled out the spies of two horse thieves and directly slashed them to death in the field. As for the merchant who took in the two horse thieves, he was even more miserable, and in addition to the goods being divided among others, he was hanged by the angry merchant on a tree branch in the field. After all, for the businessman who walks outside, the most resentful thing is that his peers collude with horse thieves.
Therefore, their methods of dealing with merchants who collude with horse thieves are also more intense, and almost none of them are soft. But sometimes, for the sake of some black interests, some unscrupulous businessmen still choose to take risks. Naturally, there were merchants who colluded with horse thieves to kill their peers, and not long ago, an entire caravan of people had just been killed by horse thieves.
Marching on a wide, straight road, Chen Kai and their carriage stayed at the back of the entire caravan. Because in the caravan, Chen Kai and their fighters had the most. The others are basically powerless merchants, and at the same time, there are only 7o guard knights in the entire caravan, so the caravan that feels that it is short of manpower and cannot recruit mercenaries can only temporarily use Chen Kai and them as a rear team to protect the rear of the caravan.
As a result, after Chen Kai and their hands were in a hurry, Chen Kai and the others finally disposed of James's pile of garbage. They borrowed the two hapless merchant's horse thieves to load the worn-out bottles and cans, and then loaded the roof of a carriage with Fei Yun's heavy crossbow under the shocked eyes of the caravan leader Ike. After installation, it is tightly wrapped in a tarpaulin and disguised as luggage. Of course, this qiē was done before leaving Hugawa at night, and the other merchants didn't know what Chen Kai had done.
Although the caravan commander was very uneasy about Chen Kai's behavior, after all, the heavy crossbow was too big. Even he, a low-level knight, felt the threat emanating from the crossbow arrows, but in the end he agreed with Chen Kai's actions. Because God knows how many horse thieves will appear along the way, if there is a more powerful stubble than him, then he will have to rely on Chen Kai's heavy crossbow.
So even though he knew that it was illegal to use a heavy crossbow without permission, Ike agreed and helped hide it for the sake of his own life and the safety of the caravan. Under his guidance, Chen Kai added several fasteners around the crossbow and stuffed a lot of muslin cloth to reduce the damage to the crossbow caused by the vibration of the carriage.
Of course, these muslins are generally not used, because although Hugawa is very poor, the avenues that were built by earth elemental mages in the past are still very smooth. So much so that it is unlikely to cause bumps when the carriage passes by, and it can drive smoothly until the imperial capital. In this way, Chen Kai and the others followed behind the caravan's buttocks, and slowly drove towards the direction of the imperial capital as the caravan rear team.
Looking at the withered land along the way and the poor people who scavenged from time to time, Chen Kai and his party lost their interest in visiting the mountains and rivers. Of course, there is no scenery around Hugawa to see, although there are many players who land in Hugawa, but many of his poor guides have left here after reaching level 2o. So that there are few players in the entire Hugawa that can be counted in the palm of one hand, of course, it does not mean that there are no players at all, at least before level 2O, Hugawa's beasts scurrying around make the player's leveling level amazingly fast.
Of course, now, those beasts running around have become an obstacle to the progress of Chen Kai's caravan, after all, because of the recent harassment of those players who are trying to level up, many beasts have begun to be unafraid. The large beasts rushed over with red eyes after seeing the caravan, and it was obvious that they had no fear or good impression of humans.
But the brainless wild animals turned into a pile of cooked meat lying in a meat pot and furs in a merchant's van. In addition to these, the beasts also added a few black-red blood stains to the otherwise gray roads, giving the rocky avenues a bit of color.
After three days of wandering along the long road, everyone was surprised that the expected horse thief never appeared. This should have been a very gratifying thing, at least in the eyes of Chen Kai and his players, even James and the five wandering knights felt that they should celebrate. Because they were about to leave Hugawa and enter the northern city of Radamance, the lord of Radamance had at least 20,000 troops to suppress the bandits and bandits around them, so in James's opinion, Radamance should be a very safe place.
But in fact, including the caravan guard leader Ike, and all the other old merchants felt that the surrounding environment was very dangerous, and these old profiteers who had been running on this golden trade route for many years had almost all worried on their faces. From morning to afternoon, he had a melancholy and frightened face, and as soon as there was movement, he became nervous and very nervous.
Because these old profiteers knew that the trade route from Hugawa to Radamance was very dangerous, and although Radamance had a strong army, it was only a claim to be powerful. The 20,000 troops of Radamance were not as strong as the less than 5,000 city guards in Hugawa, and they had no way to deal with horse thieves who came and went except for a few small thieves who did not have horses. What's more, in the past three days, Ike, the leader of the caravan guard, has barely seen a horse thief spy, let alone encountered a horse thief.
For Ike, who knew the situation on this road, he had never heard of such a situation before, let alone encountered it. Even when they were in Shunlì, they would encounter one or two horse thieves who did not know the times, instead of being silent around them without even a mouse as they are now.
"James James, you come over to me" Just as James wanted to climb onto Chen Kai's carriage and take a nap, Ike's huge voice came to everyone's ears. Hearing Ike's shout, James gave up his plan to nap, and swore and ran towards the place where Ike was standing.
"Hey, Boss, why are you so nervous about that Ike Commander today? This has called James's unlucky guy five times since the morning, and almost every time he asks him to check the situation," Fei Yun, who was sitting on the roof of the carriage, asked Chen Kai, who was holding an eagle-eyed telescope beside him.
"Aren't you worried about the horse thieves, don't you think it's too quiet around you? Except for the sound of the wind, there was not even the cry of those beasts a few days ago" Chen Kai did not put down the eagle-eyed telescope in his hand, although the surrounding undulating hills greatly hindered his vision, but he still tried to observe the surrounding situation.
"It's also said that I haven't met a crazy bear for a few days, and that pair of bear paws tasted so good last time" Fei Yun slowly licked his mouth, as if he had eaten the beeswax bear paw two days ago. But just as he was licking his lips, his head was suddenly pressed to the ground by Chen Kai, and then he heard Chen Kai's loud voice roaring with all his strength.
"Enemy attack" was a long, loud cry, and hundreds of pitch-black feathered arrows shot at all the carriages with a terrible degree. With a few muffled grunts and a lot of aggressive noises, all the things that the merchants feared were finally born, and the horse thieves who came were the ones they feared the most.
"Damn it, Anka Harun, the wolf of the north wind," Ike jumped under the war horse the moment Chen Kai roared, dodging a dozen feathered arrows shooting at him, and at the same time dragged James off the war horse and threw it directly under the carriage of a carriage.
"Ike save me, hurry up and save me" With the shouts of the caravan deacon's old butler Hanam, several miserable cries for help appeared in the caravan. But Ike, the so-called leader of the caravan guard, did not go directly to his employer's aid, but stood up and yelled in his loudest voice.
"All the carriages form a circular defensive formation, everyone don't run around, our enemy is Ankaharun, the wolf of the north wind, it is useless to escape under the charge of his white wolf horse" Ike's huge voice instantly reached the ears of all the merchants, and after a period of silence, most of the carriages formed a huge circular formation according to Ike's request, before the third wave of feathered arrows fired, and all the horses were driven to the middle and put into the pet space as long as they were not dead.
But amid Ike's fierce shouts, several merchants rushed out of the caravan in their wagons, trying to escape before the thieves appeared. They thought they would be able to break out of this death zone with a carriage drawn by four high-ranking war horses, but they were overtaken by horse thieves hiding behind the hill after escaping a few hundred meters.
For the first time, Chen Kai saw the horse thief who was ridden by Ike as a white wolf, and all the horse thieves were white high-grade war horses. At the same time, they were all wearing a white wolf skin with a wolf's head, and what surprised Chen Kai the most was that these horse thieves turned out to be archers, that is, cavalrymen who could shoot arrows on war horses.
The fleeing merchants were all strung into gourds without the feathered arrows fired by the horse thieves, and were shot to death not far from the chariot along with the horses in their wagons. For a while, a terrifying atmosphere began to envelop Chen Kai's hearts, and the wails of those injured businessmen made this atmosphere even more terrifying.
Chen Kai grabbed Fei Yun, who wanted to remove the oilcloth from the crossbow machine, and motioned him not to move, and then he himself held a shield to block those arrows and rushed under the carriage. After a quick run, Chen Kai soon arrived at the place where Ike was. Five or six hapless merchants were lying on the ground wailing, their black feathered arrows stained with the poisonous juice of filthy blood. In the absence of venom, the poison made from this corrosive blood with dark power is the favorite thing for the white wolf and horse thief. For the enemy contaminated with this filthy blood will be transformed into a rotting corpse by the power of blood, and the most vicious thing is that after becoming a corpse, he will continue to wail and let out the most painful sounds.
This is also the most feared and hated place of the white wolf and horse thieves, they will not only kill all the ransacked merchants, but also torture their bodies to make them inhuman and ghostly. Therefore, the White Wolf Horse Thieves are the most hated and feared by all merchants, because if they are killed by the White Wolf Horse Thieves, then the soul will also be imprisoned in the corpse after death, and with the corpse decays, it will eventually dissipate and cannot go to the underworld.
After Chen Kai walked to Ike's side, he directly threw a few bottles of high-grade holy water to James on the side, and under the grateful eyes of those merchants, they took the holy water from James's hand and poured it into their mouths, and then sprinkled it on the wound. Bursts of white smoke slowly drifted out along with the corrosion of the wounds, and at the same time, the merchants also let out a miserable howl again, of course, these sounds were much better than before.
Ike was very grateful to take a bottle of holy water from Chen Kai's hand, they were not clergy like Chen Kai, and they didn't expect to run into a white wolf and horse thief who went too far in the north. Therefore, they didn't prepare holy water all the way, and if it weren't for Chen Kai, these injured merchants would definitely turn into rotten corpses in pain.
"What is the origin of Ike leading that white wolf and horse thief group?" Although Chen Kai was a horse thief on the gold trade road during this time, he really hadn't heard of the White Wolf Horse Thieves Group, a horse thief group that was active in the farther north.
Ike sighed, but just as he was about to say something, the knight of the guard, who was on the side of the car formation, suddenly let out a whistle that conveyed a danger signal. Then the sharp-eyed Ike suddenly saw hundreds of burning rockets in the sky, and those rockets were shooting down towards the middle of the formation with the force of the dive.
"Ankaharen is really so ruthless" Ike looked at the rockets that were about to fall with shocked eyes, he was still suspicious of Ankaharun's ferocity of the wolf of the north wind, and those filthy feather arrows only made him face it a little bit, and now these rockets that were about to fall made Ike have to understand that the ferocity of the wolf of the north wind is really something. Because Ankaharun obviously wanted to burn them completely inside, and in doing so, he couldn't get any goods, that is, Ankaharun's purpose was only to kill people and not rob.
"Old Baka," Akra shouted at the top of his voice, but before he could finish his words, he saw a cyan air rush into the sky. The rockets that fell quickly were swept upside down by the current, landing in the surrounding grass and quickly igniting a large area of turf.
"Heard, Ike, your voice is too loud" An old mage with a staff walked down from the carriage while plucking out his ears, and from his mage badge, Chen Kai could know that the other party was a 7th-order Grand Instructor, and it was also a Wind Elemental Guide.
"Hmph, it seems that there are a few good hands in it, but I like good hands, only the heart that is dug out by such people will be delicious," said a tall orc standing behind Ankaharun in a grim voice, his elder with a golden leopard head, obviously the most cruel of the orcs.
"Lapier, be careful not to drip your saliva on the door of my head" A short figure standing below the leopard man roared at Lapier the leopard man, his diminutive body with a hint of madness, and at the same time, a trace of dark evil also stirred out of his body along with his angry words.
"You little, I'm drooling over you" Lapier the Leopard Man was very uninterested in the dark dwarves on the ground, and he felt that the other party should continue to stay in the dark cave instead of standing next to him and disturbing his appetite.
But just as the horse thieves, one tall and one short, were about to pinch each other, Ankaharun suddenly stood up from the ground. His white wolf-skinned head turned slowly, scanning Rapille and the black dwarf with a cold gaze.
"Wakarun will take your people and touch me," Ankaharon's cold words appeared in the ears of the dark dwarf, and the dark dwarf named Vakarun shrank and immediately spread his legs and rushed into the grass, and after a few ups and downs, he disappeared into the half-man-high grass.
A minute later, the dark dwarf had reached the side of the carriage with a fellow of his kind who was hiding in the grass and shooting arrows, and the huge array of carts occupied a large area. Not only did it block the road, but it also opened up a large area of flat land in the surrounding meadows.
Therefore, the dark dwarf Vakaron had just rushed out of the meadow with his men when he was spotted by the knight of the guard, who had been paying attention to the surrounding situation, only to be beaten back by a bunch of spells before he could touch the carriage of the carriage. What frightened him the most was the spur that suddenly burst out of the ground, and the barbed thorn almost went directly to his descendants. As a dark dwarf who has not yet given birth to dwarfs, once he loses what is underneath, it means that he will become a beardless eunuch dwarf.
Vakaron didn't want to be a eunuch, so after dodging the stab, his swarthy face almost turned black and blue. It's just that he was afraid that he would be punished by Ankaharun after escaping back, so even with many spells and crossbow arrows, the dwarf Wakarun resisted the urge to escape, and quickly advanced to the side of the carriage again and rolled over and into the chariot formation.
It's just that he had just entered the formation and before he could stand firmly, he heard a huge whistling sound rushing towards his head, and at the same time, he saw a huge war hammer with a silver-white light smashing down on his head. Vakaron screamed and turned to escape from under the carriage, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw a crossbow bolt grazed his head and nailed in front of him, followed by two greatswords tumbling towards his head with a huge wind pressure.
The moment he saw one of the giant swords, Vakaron knew that he was looking for someone in Ankaharun, but he had no way to get the news out now. Because he was being chased and slashed by a wolf, he originally wanted to use his powerful strength to block the attack of the high-ranking knight who didn't know whether to live or die, but it turned out that he was armed with a thick axe.
At the moment when he was hit by Chen Kai's giant sword, Wakarun showed that Chen Kai's weapon was powerful, but he didn't react until the thumb he was holding the battle axe was cut off. Because he had always felt that the strength of his 7th-order professional would definitely be able to suppress Chen Kai, but he ignored the particularity of Chen Kai's weapon and the particularity of Chen Kai's own state.
The identity of Wakaren's dark dwarf and the thick dark evil aura all over his body were a standard evil creature in Chen Kai's eyes, and as a result, Vakara was very tragically hit by a double damage. His identity as an evil creature was instantly suppressed by Chen Kai's talent, and he tragically cut off his fingers.
At the same time, Chen Kai was also very surprised by the damage he had caused, because he had only wanted to stop Vakara. In his opinion, it was a blessing to be able to stop Vakara and not vomit blood himself, but it was not him who was hurt the most, but the dwarf who exuded a dark aura.
Holding his left hand, which had a severed thumb, the dwarf Vakara's head burst out with a damage of nearly 2oo points, and at the same time, his body retreated sharply at the moment of injury, trying to stay away from Chen Kai's second attack. Of course, it is more important to escape from the car formation as soon as possible, and report Chen Kai's news to Anka Harun.
