Under the blue sky, a gray-yellow-gray earth. The wind from the Northland whirled, sizzling the dry weeds on the ground. The lodging plants, which had lost their vitality, were constantly shaking under the action of the air current.

And in this land of no life, the caravan to which the players belong is struggling to make their way home. Just as Barrett said before, even if there were some horse thieves who stood in the way on the next road, there were no major conflicts. The caravan that had shown its muscles before was no longer harassed after friendly negotiations with the horse thieves, and only paid some decent money to buy the road.

Unfortunately, although the caravan passed smoothly, it encountered a little trouble in business. Apparently due to bad luck, two of the tribes that passed by the next few tribes had just finished trading with other caravans not long ago - they were supposed to be their counterparts who had left the level a few days earlier than the player's caravan. It is only during this window that the news in the Brandenburg Fortress will be omitted.

Tribes that have just purchased goods naturally don't have much demand - in fact, if they are more serious, they don't need to. It's just that they don't have any extra supplies to exchange for more goods from the south. In addition, the goods that were traded before were enough to meet the basic needs of a long time. The rest is just for further **, and it is not an inseparable choice.

It was not an easy task for the Chamber of Commerce behind the caravan to organize such cross-border trade. Therefore, this journey must not be stopped until all the goods carried are exchanged for grassland specialties. So in order to complete the work, the caravan had to continue north. It even goes deep into the deepest part of the grassland, which has rarely been stepped in before. Try your luck at tribes you've never been exposed to before.

Although in the end all the cargo from the south was unloaded. In exchange for a large number of grassland products. However, because the time and journey exceeded previous expectations. As a result, the caravan's profits were compressed a lot. So even if he embarks on the road home, the team leader will still have a bitter face. Obviously, because the trade situation was not satisfactory this time, he was afraid that he would have to deal with inquiries from above when he returned.

However, for the ordinary fellows in the caravan and the hired adventurers, the cold wind blowing in the vast wilderness for so long finally aroused their homesickness. So after embarking on the road back to the civilized world, they naturally became in a good mood. And then the smile on his face became more.

"The wind is really getting stronger." Saying this, the cat boy involuntarily leaned towards Barrett's side, after all, the captain's cloak can create a comfortable environment to withstand the cold.

And Barrett, who was in front, skillfully pulled the reins slightly and slowed himself down. So that the effect of the strange object can be applied to Lalu's body. Then he sighed: "It's been a long time since we came out! It was originally early autumn. It's almost late autumn now. In addition, in the north, it is normal for cold winds to be raging. ”

"Anyway, after we have completed this mission, are we thinking about going south? Just like last year, avoid this cold snap heading south. Rielly, who was riding on the same horse as Laru, suddenly suggested.

"Did you forget something, my mage?" Speaking of this, Barrett glanced back at his companion, "Anvil's career mission can't be delayed any longer, and your progress is coming soon." We went to Bolham to settle these two things together, and then decided how to arrange the next trip. ”

"I'm still too early to level up! It's not like you're unaware of the experience changes before and after level 5. At this point, Rielly sighed, "I hope I'll have enough experience when I can help Anvil finish his mission!" ”

Just as Barrett was about to speak out to comfort the mage, a man suddenly came to Barrett's side: "Mr. Boreham, the team leader, please come over with Miss Mage." ”

But before he could finish speaking. A puff of dust had already appeared on the horizon east of the caravan. Apparently a large number of creatures were rapidly approaching, and Barrett, who saw this, stretched out his hand and pointed: "Mr. Bosie should be talking about them!" ”

Before the guy could answer. There was a 'clang' in the caravan - the brass bell hanging from the caravan had already been ringed. The alarm that accompanied the dust raised the hearts of everyone in the caravan.

"There are no falcons in the sky! How did those guys track us? Immediately, some of the adventurers asked such questions.

Soon someone shouted: "Those steppe creatures would have been under the jurisdiction of the civilized world long ago if they had relied only on falcons." Of course, most of the reason why falconry is so famous is because other methods are not as convenient to use as it is......"

In the midst of this cacophony, the caravan began to stop. Under the skillful control of the men, the carriages began to coil up like a long snake about to hibernate. However, with the huge group of horse thieves in view, everyone found that it seemed impossible to complete the fortifications before the other party arrived.

Just then, Barrett turned to Riehlly and shouted, "Call Clematis out and bless me with it." I'm afraid I won't be able to do it this time if I don't work hard. And those scrolls, which were really prepared correctly. ”

"You're going to ask for it!" Rielly pointed at the murderous horse thieves, and by their performance, she knew that they weren't just collecting tolls. Laru, on horseback, immediately rolled over and dismounted, and then ran into the caravan.

Barrett, who was soon in a state of blessing, tightened his grip on his spear, and then he came to the direction of the horse thief's charge and shouted, "Rangers, let's go buy the caravan the last time." ”

With that, Barrett kicked his horse in the belly and rushed out, and the rangers around the caravan gathered behind him. began to launch a counter-charge like a horse thief on the opposite side. From the sky, it looks like a small boat, heading towards the waves in the sea.

The cold wind whistled across Barrett's cheeks, and he let go of all distractions as he charged. Focused on where the sharp tip of his spear was pointing. At the moment when you come head-on with the enemy on the opposite side. The moment he made contact, Barrett naturally aimed the tip of his gun at the empty space in the enemy's face - a large watermelon exploded. There are almost no obstacles.

Immediately after someone in front of him stood in his way, Barrett shook the gun hard, and the resilient gun body shook. In the surprised eyes of the other party, he bypassed the shield of the horse thief. With a slight resistance, the spear pierced the opponent's chest. The force of the force caused a cloud of blood and flesh to explode from the wound, and the man was picked up by the spear due to inertia, and died before he hit the ground.

After stabbing two enemies in a row, Barrett felt a darkness in front of him, only to feel a powerful attack in his hand. He had already rushed into the opponent's cavalry formation. Taking a deep breath, Barrett turned on the effect on his accelerator shoes and brandished his spear, which was not common in the Western Continent. I saw him shoot out, like a hundred plum blossoms blooming. Guns bloomed, and the flowers were deadly, and all the horse thieves who were close to Barrett fell to the ground in a moment.

Although the changes of the three moves of "blocking, taking, and piercing" are mellow. But among the horse thieves who launched the attack this time, there were not without masters. One of them held a steel shield against Barrett's spear. However, I saw that the body of the gun was bent, and there was such a small buffer, which converted the kinetic energy into elastic potential energy. Then Barrett changed his hand and jumped lightly, and the other party flew out of the horse with a shield.

It's a pity that with the other party's obstacle, the horse thieves in front of Barrett are all around. For a while, Barrett had to dance the spear in his hand like a peacock. Wait for the right time to cover up. The so-called stick is afraid of nodding and the gun is afraid of roundness, and once the legendary good hand gun shakes up. The head of the gun is swinging randomly, and the gods are difficult to prevent. With a flick of the wrist, the head of the spear slightly staggered the blade blocked in the opponent's hand, and the head of the spear slid against the back of the opponent's long knife and went in.

From an outsider's point of view, it feels like a tap on the other party's chain mail. But this time it really went in. Barrett then used his left hand as a fulcrum to pry, then easily retracted the spear in his hand, and then swept to the other horse thief who was trying to sneak up on the side.

As the so-called horse company camp is not afraid of many people, facing these horse thieves in front of them. A gun dances, like a giant python wrapping around a tree, front and back, left and right, protecting people and horses, hard to advance and retreat, the head of the gun is everywhere, it is injured when it is touched, and it falls when it is touched. However, with the forward rush of the unity of people and horses during this time, that little bit of cold is like a lot of pear blossoms. Immediately afterward, a cloud of blood burst out in the middle of the enemy who was crushed by the charge.

Suddenly, Barrett felt the force on his gun loosen, and then realized that he had gouged through the opponent's loose charging array. Looking back, the short gap was closing rapidly, and the sides were filled with the corpses of men and horses, some of which had been cut into several pieces. Most of them were still horse thieves from the steppes, but the caravan riders who followed them were also quite damaged.

Looking at the rangers who were still struggling with the horse thieves not far away, Barrett immediately kicked the horse's belly and urged the horse to swing his gun, and rushed to attack. I don't know if it's because I haven't enjoyed such a hearty battle for a long time, Barrett now feels like he has mastered the 'breaking army into life' during the test period, and it can be said that the more he fights, the more comfortable he becomes. I saw that he was full of energy, bursting with strength, and his arms swinging like turbulent waves. Rush the big gun at the heavy black shadows in front of you. In an instant, the weather changed, and the sound of 'bang bang bang' rang out. The horse thieves saw only the shadow of a gun in their eyes, and then they fell unconscious.

But at this moment, a group of horse thieves who were supposed to rush towards the caravan turned to Barrett. Then the sound of the bowstring sounded, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air in an instant made people feel hairy. Even with the call for a spell like 'Flash', Barrett was missing arrows.

Barrett drew his machete and swung it to cut off the shafts of several arrows on his leggings, lest they interfere with his next move. As for the arrows that were caught between the armor and the flesh, although Barrett was a little uncomfortable, they were actually harmless. Then he was seen to be combined with his gun, and stabbed in front of the rider with the brightest clothes this time.

In an instant, the elite horse thief who was crawling on the battlefield and going back and forth in the pile of dead people immediately felt a chill rising from his tail vertebrae. It was as if a sharp sword hung above his head, and a terrifying sense of crisis filled his heart. It's a pity that it's too late, and what awaits him is a figure that is getting bigger and bigger in front of his eyes. The powerful power of the spear that swung at him provoked a terrifying sound of breaking the air. It was as if this shot could directly shatter and shatter his flesh, organs, and bones.

Then I saw a 'rag' fluttering in the wind, and he landed lightly without even stirring up a speck of dust. It's just that this humanoid wreckage has lost the breath of life. The sword-wielding attacker, whose internal organs and bones had been shattered by the violent tremors, had become a puddle of mud - the simple roughness of the stone dragon stream was once again vividly displayed.

But before Barrett could catch his breath, the piercing sound of breaking the air sounded again, and three dazzling cold lights bloomed in the scattered stars. Slightly slower than that, there was a buzz that seemed to come from under his feet, and a fierce wave of qi that was approaching him.

Barrett shook his hand, and the cold rays behind him were like tough silk threads, weaving a meticulous net in that direction to cover himself. He then advanced between the two flanks of the enemy, and met the enemy with a spear. A few seconds later, the flesh and blood blurred object fell to the ground, and the corpse was covered with Sensen's white bones, as if it had been killed by Ling Chi.

However, Barrett did not pay a price, and there was a piercing pain in his back. The enemy's heavy axe slashed directly at Barrett's back. Although there were no serious breaches in the sturdy armor, Barrett himself was shocked and bleeding - even under the protection of the muscle armor, he was still injured.

At the same time, lightning flashed in the sky, followed by an angry thunder dragon filling the sky. With a roar, the thunder flashed, and one of the rangers from the caravan slowly fell. Then another bolt of blue-white lightning followed, closely chasing Barrett.

"Summoning thunder? It is the shaman of the steppe people. Barrett thought. In the steppes where spirits are deeply influenced, shamans follow beliefs and traditions that are very different from those of priests and druids. In the world that people inhabit lives a variety of spirits: some are beneficial, others are harmful. By communicating with spirits, shamans are able to gain power and magic from nature to help their companions and fight their enemies. (To be continued......)
