Chapter 57: Sometimes Rules Don't Work (Part I)
Next, in order to prevent getting into trouble again, Chen Xuyuan and the others deliberately slowed down and opened a distance of several miles from the caravan.
However, it didn't take long for them to hear a shout of killing from the front, and several people felt a little strange.
Thereupon.
He secretly climbed to a nearby hill and looked over to the caravan.
......
In fact, it started an hour ago.
Then.
The caravan protected by the mercenary leader Willam happened to encounter a fork in the border at a fork in the border, a Kaom Kingdom army that had returned from the front line.
Looking at the banner of the well-organized forward, it seems to be the unit of General Mushils, one of the guards of the northern border.
All the caravan bosses looked at each other a little, this one was notoriously happy and greedy for money, and this meeting seemed to be a little difficult.
But it was too late for them to retreat now, and the army had come from far away with hundreds of men, and it seemed that it must have been coming at them.
Willam hurriedly stopped the caravan, and personally rushed to a few dozen meters in front of the caravan with several caravan leaders, waiting for the soldiers who came to inspect and interrogate.
In less than half a cup of tea, the army had already arrived in front of them.
"Which army brother is coming!~ I'm also from the army, and I've had eight friendships with you Sam and Captain Wiki!" The round-sized boss of Willam greeted him with a smile, and the front few majestic military masters who rode and led the team to run.
His friendly and skilful smile made him look more like a philistine merchant than a mercenary leader who licked blood with a knife head.
The few brightly armored little military leaders who led the team glanced at each other first, but they didn't give him a good face, but said directly: "Sam was hacked to death with a knife, and Wiki is now missing two legs and a hand, and now he is lying down and waiting to die." Don't me just yet. I ask you, where are you going to cross the border, where are you going to cross the border, what official is there to be, is there any general's way? ”
"Haha~ Master Jun. We are a caravan to Sarn City, I know the old rules~" Willham hurriedly waved his hand and asked a shrewd subordinate to hold a bag of prepared gold coins and send it up, which made the faces of several military leaders soften slightly.
Just as the commander of the slightly higher rank was about to say something, dozens of fast horses surrounded one, a man with two delicate mustaches, and ran from the direction of the large army.
People have not yet arrived.
The mustache shrewdly scanned the convoy first, and when he saw the deep wheel prints under each carriage, a look of greed flashed in his eyes.
He first shouted, "Do these people have a way?"
The leader of the army naturally recognized - this logistics and financial officer in the army, and he was also the brother-in-law of General Mushils.
He felt that things were a little out of control, but he still had to smile and return with a smile: "There is no way out." ”
"Oh, the general said that in wartime, if there is no way to transport supplies through the border, it is the same crime as collaborating with the enemy. Since there is no way out, what are you waiting for!"
The general's brother-in-law immediately became furious, and then scolded: "Do you still need me to report to the general that you have been bribed and want to secretly release enemy spies? Those who dare to resist will be killed. ”
As soon as this remark came out.
Everyone's faces immediately changed.
The military leaders looked even more ugly, and said in their hearts: Aren't you cutting off the wealth of the people below us?
But they can't disobey orders, otherwise as long as the other party goes over to make a small report, their brothers will at least have to wear small shoes until next year!
The leader of the army could only erase in his heart, and the "rules" established by the bag of gold coins directly gritted his teeth, turned his head and shouted at his subordinates: "Brothers, listen to the order, take the caravan." ”
The group of caravan leaders were also caught off guard, they thought that they would be able to go through the motions safely according to the "rules" this time, but they didn't expect to meet a ruthless character who didn't follow the rules.
What's more, their goods really have a large number of embargoed materials that the other party said.
Because only the more embargo, the higher the profit of merchants selling such materials~~~
So.
They can't afford to scrutinize it at all~
Thereupon.
At the same time as the head of the army gave the order to take people.
I saw that everyone in the field looked at each other, and immediately as if they had discussed, they all burst out in tacit understanding.
Don't look at these caravan leaders who are tall, short, fat and thin, they are all different, and they usually look like they are kind and wealthy, but if they were really harmless characters like sheep, they would have been chewed and swallowed together by their peers.
Just like those black-hearted maritime merchants who occasionally turn to pirates in uninhabited places on the sea - this is the place where the so-called civilized society is "the jungle eats the strong"~
It's too late, it's too soon.
The caravan and mercenary leaders in front of the cavalry were all immediately covered in spell glow, and they all used the eighteen hidden methods on their bodies to press the bottom of the box, or released fireball lightning arrows with enchanted weapons, or disrupted the charging cavalry with other range confusion control spells, each showing their magic and fighting and retreating with the army.
The caravan men in the rear saw that the situation was not good, although a few of them were weakened and collapsed to the ground because they had to fight the army.
But.
There were also many outlaws who had signed a soul contract with the boss, and immediately pulled out swords, guns, swords, and halberds from all over the truck, and went to rescue the bosses with the mercenaries.
After a quick recombination of troops on the side of the caravan.
A part of the outlaw mercenaries immediately covered several important bosses and fought and retreated, fleeing towards the surrounding mountains and forests.
At this time.
There was no one to care about the hundreds of trucks on the other side of the convoy anymore, and the important goods were all carried by the caravan owners in large space bags all the time.
No one can estimate the slight loss, it's important to escape~
Because some people used trucks as cover to fight with the cavalry, while others went to the nearby mountain trails, the army was divided into multiple groups to chase and kill, and the whole forest area was already lively with boiling porridge.
That's why when Chen Xuyuan and a few people arrived, it seemed that the scene was extremely lively.
"Oops~ It's really lively here~"
Eddie and Vasily immediately gloated and mocked.
They were obviously still a little unhappy about what they had just been blackmailed by the mercenaries.
It's Higrid, on the other hand, who seems to be a little unsightly.
She said angrily: "These rebels are really damned, they loot merchants and kill civilians indiscriminately, how can anyone dare to do business with their country." ”
"How can black, white and white be so clear, maybe these businessmen's butts are not much clean, you don't want to make random moves to involve us too. Even Vasily couldn't help but persuade her.
