016 Brewing conspiracy
016
The town of Neusorpige was a very prosperous city in peacetime, and the surrounding caravans by land and sea brought a lot of wealth to the city, while outside the city was in a depression.
Walking on the wide and still main road, there are desolate scenery on both sides, and occasionally I see one or two big-eared monster bandit scouts, but Han Feng did not take the initiative to provoke them, after all, the main purpose of his first patrol is to familiarize himself with the road, and ensure the safety of pedestrians on the main road.
The big-eared monster robbers are typical bullying and fearing hard guys, seeing that there were only two people in Han Feng's patrol team, they couldn't help but look greedily on the weapons and armor of the two, those shining Dongdong Ke were several times stronger than these rusty guys on their bodies, and after a while, the big-eared monster robbers began to act.
More than thirty big-eared monster bandits, under the cover of mountains and rocks on both sides of the road, ambushed the road that Han Feng and the others had to pass to patrol, which was the two hills, and the middle was just the only way for the port to New Sopig.
In the prosperous years, there used to be two watchtowers, which were an important defensive stronghold on the east coast of the town of New Sopig, but with the anxiety of the war, the military administration of the rear was sharply reduced, and the two watchtowers also collapsed due to disrepair, and the lack of manpower caused the two posts to be abandoned, and at this time it became a paradise for the big-eared monster bandits.
In order to be on the safe side, the big-eared monster robbers also contacted three well-connected sheep song cultists, these guys all have the strength of magic apprentices, and can release some low-level magic such as fire bombs and ice bullets, and the three of them are definitely a big help for the big-eared monsters with low long-range firepower.
Han Feng and Hasvaughn were unaware of the impending danger, and still walked forward leisurely, getting closer and closer to the location of the big-eared monster's ambush, and the corners of the mouth of the leader of the big-eared monster robbers on the top of the mountain were already slightly upturned, as if the two of them were already delicious on their plates, and the three sheep song cultists also began to condense magical energy, and an ambush battle was about to begin.
It backfired, just when Han Feng and the others were about to enter the ambush circle, a familiar shout came from behind them, and when they looked back, Gwyneth was shouting something loudly, and a silver-white magic arrow flew out of her hand, flying over the heads of Han Feng and the others towards the mountain in the distance.
"Ahh
A scream came from the direction of the mountain, Han Feng looked vigilantly, and saw a big-eared monster rolling in pain next to a boulder, he was shocked, and hurriedly escorted Hasvaughn to retreat.
Seeing that their ambush had been discovered, the big-eared bandits were annoyed and screamed, brandishing rusty knives and rushing down the hill, and the big-eared monsters with short bows inside began to shoot long-range along with the three sheep songkeeping.
Hasvaun, who quickly retreated under Han Feng's protection, didn't notice that many arrows that broke through the air were blocked by Han Feng's huge body, and those arrows didn't even leave a single mark on Han Feng's body.
Coming and not being rude, Han Feng took off the longbow behind his back, bent the bow and shot the arrow casually, every time an arrow flew out, a big-eared monster robber would fall to the ground in response, and Gwyneth's magic arrow would also pass over Han Feng's head from time to time and bombard the heads of those guys.
Hasvaun, who had been acting like a waste of wood, also cheered up, with a short and rapid chant and a low shout of "magic damage"!
A magical light came out of his hand and went straight to the enemy in the distance, the lowest level of magic in the limb magic, and one of the few attack magic of the priest, it was ineffective against soul and lich creatures, and the damage was not great, but it was better to consume less mana and release it quickly.
Han Feng retreated for a while and then stopped, and if he retreated further, the enemy's long-range firepower might threaten Gwyneth's safety, and there were less than twenty big-eared monsters and two sheep singing cultists left in front of him, so he could only fight!
It was confirmed that the long-range firepower of the big-eared monsters and those soft magic bullets could not cause any damage to themselves, by the way, the only damage was to cut out the gaps in his clothes, Han Feng continued to shoot arrows while charging forward, and when the big-eared monsters were less than ten dead, Han Feng rushed into their crowd.
Dropping his longbow and waving the blade in his hand, each swing would rob one or even two of their lives, and the leader of the big-eared monster on the distant hill saw that things were not good, and did not care about the lives of those men, and ran towards the lair.
The rest of the battle was under Han Feng's brave performance, and it only took a few minutes to clean up the battlefield, and the harvest was not bad, thirty-one big-eared monsters and three sheep Ming disciples found a total of thirteen gold coins and a number of copper plates on their bodies, and those rusty weapons and armor Han Feng did not let go, and found some rattan to tie them up and give them to the younger brother Hasvann to carry.
Of course, Han Feng did not forget to squeeze the surplus value of the big-eared monsters, and after sending Gwyneth and Hasvaughn back to New Sopig Town first, he took a scimitar and cut off the left ear of the big-eared monsters and the heads of the sheep crooks, and threw them into the sheepskin pockets used by the robbers to hold the trophies, and the rules of the garrison clearly stated, "Kill a big-eared monster robber and reward five silver coins, and kill a sheep crook and reward one gold coin!" ”
Dragging a huge pocket, Han Feng continued to march towards the harbor, just now his demon-like figure had already fallen in the eyes of some robber scouts, and they all went back to think about their leader's report, and it was safe for a while, Han Feng arrived at the garrison camp on the east side of the harbor when it was close to noon, where the camp was slightly smaller than the one in the city, and nearly twenty watchtowers were erected around the camp, on which were placed crossbows and heavy trebuchets.
After seeing the people stationed clearly, Han Feng found that although they were also called garrisons, they belonged to the regular army of New Sopige Town, and they were much stronger than him in terms of armor and weapons, otherwise they would not be able to guard such an important port with a scale of less than three hundred people.
"Little one, it's been so long that a patrol from the garrison has finally arrived, I thought you were all lying on your stomach!" One of the sentries guarding the door said with a smile.
Han Feng didn't care either, the people who were soldiers were rude and impolite, but there was no doubt about respecting the strong and caring for their comrades. After greeting everyone with a smile, he was about to leave after signing in, but was stopped by the officer at the port.
"Little guy, your name is Han Feng, right? There are still some things to be handled by you, and as for the reward, the rules will follow! The officer handed over a large bundle of letters, and pointed to the five merchants next to him and introduced: "These five are the merchants who are stranded in the port, and when you go back, escort them away, and each of them will give you two gold coins for the garrison!" ”
"Cut~ The merchants in the city give ten gold coins as a reward, and you only give two, and the kickbacks are too ruthless, right?" Han Feng secretly scolded himself, but he was under the eaves, so he had to smile and nod his head in agreement.
The road was safe and sound, when Han Feng returned to the garrison headquarters, he received a hero-like reception, and the previously returned Hasvaughn trumpeted Han Feng's bravery, what a wave of his hand, three big-eared monsters were cut down, and then the tiger's body was shocked, kneeling countless and so on.
I have to say that this kid still has a talent for drilling, plus the weapons and armor he brought back confirmed the authenticity of the matter, no matter what, the three of them can wipe out the thirty-four robbers unscathed, it is definitely a brilliant victory worthy of admiration, so everyone also boasted along with him.
Handing over the ears of the big-eared monster and the ten gold coins earned by escorting the five merchants to the team headquarters attracted a lot of applause, and the so-called Death Circuit Road was finally successfully patrolled, you must know that a lot of caravans had been accumulated before the regular army in the city to escort them.
Ruby was also very generous, and directly rewarded Han Feng with all the ten gold coins as a reward, and took out fifty gold coins from the not too rich treasury of the garrison, and held a grand banquet in the evening, celebrating the victory of Han Feng's team, and the three elderly patrolmen in the team were also invited to attend the banquet, and they were all drunk before helping each other back.
As soon as Han Feng, who had a splitting headache, opened his eyes and saw Gwyneth with a concerned face, seeing the latter's complaining eyes, Han Feng secretly exclaimed, quickly changed the topic, and said with a straight face: "Who asked you to patrol with me yesterday?" How dangerous it is, you know no? What should I do if something happens to you? ”
"Hmph~ If it weren't for my magic eye to call the police in time, some stupid guys would have to be ambushed~" Gwyneth replied not to be outdone, and when he saw this posture, Han Feng had no choice but to raise his hand obediently and surrender.
Gwyneth said softly: "Big man, take me with you when you patrol in the future, at least I can help you discover the hidden dangers~"
Han Feng couldn't match her gentle eyes, so he had to nod and agree, but Han Feng made the same request as Hasvaun, "Wear light armor!" ”
GWYNETH TOOK OUT A LOT OF REMARKS SUCH AS WHAT MAGICIANS NEED FLEXIBILITY AND WEARING ARMOR WILL AFFECT THE SPEED OF SPELL CASTING, ALL OF WHICH WERE PASSED BY HAN FENG, AND ASKED THE REASON, HAN FENG JUST SAID THAT HE HAD THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS WAS THE CASE, AND GWYNETH COULDN'T RESIST HIM, SO HE HAD TO NOD AND AGREE, SO THE GUARD FIFTY-ONE SQUAD USHERED IN THE FIFTH MEMBER, THE MAGICIAN GWYNETH!
With the addition of Gwyneth, who is known as a danger forecaster, the patrol work of the three of them became more and more convenient, and they successfully completed the patrol mission in the next month, and also escorted a large number of caravans, which not only made the town more prosperous, but also spread the reputation of their 51st patrol team throughout the city, to Han Feng's mixed joy was that hundreds of young people rushed over to join his patrol team, but due to financial reasons, he could only hire fifteen of them, even so, The 51st Squad also became the largest patrol squad in New Sopig, with a size of twenty members.
Han Feng, who was smooth sailing, had no idea that a conspiracy against them was being staged...
A dark green banner hung on a tall fortress in the south of New Sopig, with a blood-red skeleton slanted on it, and more than a dozen dark green big-eared monsters patrolled back and forth on the castle tower above the fortress, and the quality of the weapons in their hands was obviously better than the average large-eared monster.
A conspiracy is being hatched in the halls of the castle, a conspiracy against Han Feng and the entire town of New Sopig.
Sitting at the top of the hall was a big-eared monster wearing a brass crown, waving a gold-plated scepter in his hand, and said loudly: "This time I am looking for three people, one is to kill the patrol squad leader who has ruined our good deeds everywhere, and on the other hand, I invite you to join forces and attack from all directions, so that everyone in this town will be terrified, so that they can only cower timidly in the tall walls of the town, so that when the great King Slyer lands from the southern and eastern coastlines at the same time, he will take the rear of the Iron Fist Dynasty in one fell swoop!" ”
"Giggle~ Respected big-eared monster king Siswan, we are not three-year-old children, King Sleier was defeated by King Allenfee on the frontal battlefield, and he had to send you to the rear to cause sabotage, and now tell people what to say about landing from the coast in two directions, isn't it too kind?" It was a giant human-faced spider who spoke.
An old man with a sheep's head scepter engraved on his hand echoed: "Siswan, our Yangming Sect has finally gained a foothold in this region, but we don't want to destroy our foundation because of your words, the team leader is okay, let us draw the attention of the defenders, you profit from it, hum, forgive me for not accompaniing!" ”
"It's like, it's rare for our Pirate's Lair Guild to make an appearance in New Sopige Town under a legal identity, and if it disappears because of your bad idea, isn't it a little unreasonable?"
"This..."The big-eared monster king Siswan clapped his hands awkwardly, and said with a smile on his face: "You don't have to worry about it, the topic this time is mainly to kill the damn team leader, as for the other thing, it's not for the three of them to do it now, but to convey the above meaning." By the way, let's reveal some news, the protracted war has made it impossible for various countries to survive, and they have found their behind-the-scenes supporters to complain, and it is said that the final showdown is about to begin! ”
The three people who didn't take his words seriously just now looked stunned, and hurriedly asked, "You mean?" ”
The big-eared monster king Siswan, who regained face, said in a tricky way: "Decades ago, King Allenfei defeated the alliance of the three major races and established the iron fist of the knight dynasty, which has caused the unhappiness of many behind-the-scenes bigwigs.
The great Barbarian King Slyer invited the Thor Giants and Cyclops who lived behind the scenes, the Elven King Ramanda invited the Phoenix King, and the Sorcerer King Alama opened the passage to the Wyvern Desert and hired the powerful Green Dragons, Red Dragons and Black Dragons to participate in the battle! ”
Hiss~
To put it bluntly, the other three people are just small leaders of a region, and none of these big bosses who are hidden behind them have the power to destroy the world, and they have to reconsider the previous suggestion of the big-eared monster king.
The big-eared monster king continued to break the news with a posture that was not shocking and unstoppable, "The warlock clan and the undead clan who have been in the world for many years have also joined the war!" However, the warlocks with the Titans chose to attach to the Iron Fist, and the undead with the bone dragons joined the other three countries, and the entire continent will become a 2vs4 situation in the near future. ”
This time, Siswan was courteous to all the leaders, and did not ridicule him again, but unanimously said that they would fully cooperate with him at the appropriate time, and then everyone formulated a plan to eliminate Han Feng's team in a pleasant and friendly atmosphere.
The next day, as soon as Han Feng came to the headquarters of the garrison, Ruby greeted him excitedly, "Brother, a large amount of business came to the door just now, and people asked you to escort them by name!" said that he was going to escort a batch of supplies to the eastern peninsula, and the escort fee this time was a thousand gold coins! Lo and behold, this bag is the prepaid fee. ”
"A thousand gold coins?!" Han Feng was shocked, he hadn't earned so many gold coins after being busy for so long, with this money, he could expand the number of patrol members at least ten, and if he saved a little, it would not be a problem to directly expand his subordinates to fifty.
Han Feng unceremoniously took the bag directly, according to his understanding of Ruby, the security team's share of the money must have been taken out by him early, and followed Ruby into the tent, only then did he see that the client was a young woman with a hot figure, and the two sides explained the content of the commission with a polite expression.
In the face of the largest order ever, Han Feng left the three old patrolmen at home to continue to collect intelligence, and took all the members of the team to participate in this escort, and when he saw the goods transported this time, he knew why he had to pay a thousand gold coins, a hundred carts, with all kinds of materials on them, which were worth a lot of money at a glance.
Han Feng arranged five patrols on the left, right and back of the team, and after this period of experience, this group of people has also become a battle-hardened elite, and can cope with emergencies on the east coast, which is getting better and better, and he took Hasvaughn and Gwyneth to the forefront of the team, and marched towards the peninsula in the east in a typical square protective formation.
The angry employer stooped into the carriage in the middle of the line as the team set off, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly...
The road was as calm as ever before reaching the eastern harbor, and as they headed southeast towards the peninsula, groups of big-eared monsters and sheep chirping cultists began to launch tentative attacks on the team from time to time.
Under the heroic counterattack of Han Feng's elite 51st escort team, the robbers left a few corpses behind, and wanted to flee from a distance in a panic, Han Feng not only did not feel excited, but had a trace of doubt, knowing that he was inferior to himself in all aspects, and was still so enthusiastic about constantly harassing, then there were only two who could --- arrogant soldiers and lure the enemy...
"Hasvaun, go tell the other three teams to be on guard, and if something happens, quickly move closer to me and concentrate on the enemy!" Han Feng commanded in a low voice.
"What about the merchants?" Hasvaughn was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice.
"Don't be a mother-in-law, if the merchant is gone, we will lose some money at most, and the lives of the brothers are gone, are you willing to do it?" Han Feng couldn't help but reprimand in a low voice.
Han Feng never thought that his impromptu intention would allow the entire team to escape a catastrophe...
