Chapter 6: Before Dawn

The atmosphere in the caravan tonight is indeed as Alan said, there is no longer the relaxation and indulgence of the previous days.

When the night was cool, the caravan didn't even light a campfire to minimize the chance of the caravan being discovered by the robbers.

And Su Mu also noticed that on this most dangerous night, even Allen, who was obviously much stronger than the other guards, did not choose to act alone. Instead, he cooperated with several other first-order and second-order warriors to firmly hold all angles of the caravan's periphery to ensure that any danger could be detected at the first time.

According to Allen's request, Su Mu was assigned to stay with the caravan.

It is used to ensure that if a bandit breaks through the defense line of the escort team, Su Mu can kill them by surprise immediately, so as to protect the safety of the caravan who has no ability to resist.

And Allen's arrangement was obviously well thought out.

After all, although Su Mu's realm has reached the level of a second-order warrior, as for Su Mu's actual combat experience, it is far lower than those weathered guards.

Therefore, only when Su Mu is in the dark at all times, can he give full play to his ability to the greatest value.

However, Uncle Lu, who was beside Su Mu, saw that Alan had still trained Su Mu for many days, and also arranged for Su Mu to return to the corner where the crowd gathered. But it is a matter of course that Su Mu still does not have the slightest combat effectiveness.

He even patted the wooden stick in his hand to catch the car, and comforted Su Mu again:

"It's okay, even if there are really bandits who have crossed Allen, your Uncle Lu and I are much stronger than your small body, and it won't be a problem to drag it for a while. ”

Regarding Uncle Lu's speechless optimism, Su Mu was really speechless.

But since entering the realm of qualified warriors, Su Mu has clearly felt that a martial artist who can mobilize the Qi in his body to attack is far from being something that ordinary people can resist.

And since the bandits make a living by looting, they are naturally not ordinary people who have no combat effectiveness.

Therefore, if there are really bandits who break through the defense line, I am afraid that only Su Mu can stop it.

......

However, even though everyone has already prepared for the worst, they are about to face the worst. Even Uncle Lu, who is the most optimistic, insisted on not falling asleep too deeply.

But in fact, when the bright frost moon was about to return below the horizon, the bandits that everyone feared still did not strike.

Not being attacked by bandits, of course, would be the best ending.

As long as the sky is really bright, no matter how bold the bandits are, they will not choose to do it in the daytime when their identities are most likely to be exposed.

After all, according to Allen's previous explanation, the so-called "bandits" are just low-level warriors who are unwilling to work long distances in the nearby villages and towns.

It is precisely because bandits are not real that they cannot be completely eliminated.

However, the sky has been slightly covered with the color of fish maw, and some people are even silently praying to the supreme god, glad that this night has passed safely after all.

A loud whistle sounded so abruptly in everyone's ears.

Then the torches that were quickly lit also lit up from the hands of the members of the guard, reflecting the scarlet and cruel light of the last darkness before dawn.

The shrill whistle was the alarm when the guards spotted the enemy.

And these torches, which were quickly lit, were lit to determine the location of the bandits.

After a long night of peace, the bandits that everyone feared the most...... After all, they still showed their hideousness.

......

When the caravan heard the whistle, they almost subconsciously woke up from their sleep, and then they picked up the shovels or sticks at hand, and looked around nervously.

And Su Mu was of course no exception at this time, he had already quickly pressed the hilt of the sword hidden in the robe, ready to draw his sword and slash at any time.

The bandits who attacked this time can not be said to have sinister intentions.

The reason why they didn't do it at night, but chose to show up at this moment before dawn. It is necessary to wait until the escort team has been guarded all night and the will has been consumed a lot.

With the extreme state of his own side, he raided the exhausted body of the convoy.

However, no matter how deep the bandits' scheming is, strength is still the most important thing in the battle. Therefore, as long as Allen, who is stronger than others, still exists, the escort team will not be too afraid of it.

I saw that the bandits who had already revealed their whereabouts had taken off their disguises, gathered towards the location of the caravan in all directions, and looked at the merchants in the caravan with their fists.

It's as if the guards guarding the caravan perimeter don't exist in the eyes of the bandits, and they are confident enough to succeed in the raid.

And at this time, the best option for the escort side is ...... With the help of Allen's powerful strength, he directly slashed and killed the leader of the robbers, so that these robbers scattered in a panic.

But at the same moment, the masked strong man who was obviously the leader of the robbers seemed to have the same intentions.

His cold and sharp gaze also locked on Allen, who was standing at the forefront.

Two thunderous explosions followed, exploding in the air almost simultaneously.

Allen, who was armed with a heavy sword, and the leader of the bandits, who was carrying a giant axe, turned into two winds that tore through the barren grass and slammed into each other.

Between the swords and axes, countless dust splashed and flew in all directions.

......

However, when the dust cleared, Eren and the bandit leader returned to the limelight.

The originally confident escort team and the bandit group discovered each other in amazement. It turned out that Alan and the bandit leader were both small-character third-order warriors, and neither could easily kill the other.

However, the bandit side was more fierce after all, and seeing that the leaders of the two sides were still entangled with each other, they could not immediately distinguish an exact superiority.

The bandits did not wait and see at all, but directly raised the weapons in their hands and rushed towards the caravan in all directions.

Faced with this situation, the escort immediately shrank the defensive circle, and only the merchants and valuable goods were firmly protected, and in an instant a few pallet cars carrying sea goods were abandoned.

And a little thankfully, the appearance of a third-order warrior with a small character among the bandits is indeed a very unexpected situation. The vast majority of bandits here actually only have a first-order realm that has just escaped from ordinary people, and they don't even have a second-order warrior.

Therefore, with the skillful cooperation between the teams, the escort team composed of two second-order warriors and five first-order warriors still stubbornly confined the bandits to the crowd, so that they could no longer go further.

In the collision of the flickering fire and the sharp metal, no one on both sides seemed to be helpless, and they fell into an awkward stalemate for a while.

......

But after this contact between the two sides, in the stalemate between the escort team and the bandits, the crux of the problem seems to return to Alan and the bandit leader.

At this moment, the two of them, no matter who cuts each other first, can really turn the situation around.

However, just as Su Mu thought of this, he looked in the direction of the battle between the two again. A phenomenon that did not conform to common sense, but it immediately attracted Su Mu's attention.

I saw that Eren was slashing with the bandit leader, and the sensitivity of the two movements was obviously almost the same. But for some reason, whenever it comes to the most critical offensive moment, Allen's movements are always weirdly slow by half a point.

And with Allen's little by little accumulation of disadvantages, the bandit leader has obviously grasped enough initiative to almost completely suppress Allen.

It was not until this moment that Su Mu finally discovered:

Among the group of bandits in front of him, there seemed to be an extremely lonely figure, standing in a safe position from a distance, and he didn't seem to want to get close to the battle.

And at this time, this figure was watching the battle between Alan and the bandit leader closely, and he was constantly muttering something.

Seeing this situation, a particularly terrifying news suddenly exploded in Su Mu's mind:

"Magic apprentice, that guy is actually a magic apprentice!"

In this kind of bandit group with no future, there is actually a character who knows how to cast magic.

And as long as the caster himself can continue to bless the bandit leader outside the battlefield, Eren seems to be doomed to defeat in the confrontation.

And once Allen is defeated, the entire caravan in front of him will definitely become a lamb to the slaughter.
