Chapter 298: Robbery

"Hi ~ Carl, bring me a bowl of potato soup", in a camp in the field, the mercenaries are sitting around the campfire for dinner.

"Come, I said you can save some food, the road is still long, you can eat the food early and wait to eat grass", a brown-haired young man smiled and gestured a bull's horn on the top of his head with his hand, today is the first day of the caravan's departure, and it is very close to the high hill barrier, so the mercenaries don't think that there will be any unsightly robbers who dare to rob near the high gang barrier.

"It's okay, don't we still have Karl with fine skin and tender meat, it can be eaten for days after stewing, haha", the mercenaries laughed loudly.

On the side of the carriage, the caravan leader looked at the noisy mercenaries and shook his head helplessly, so he didn't know if he would attract the predators in the wilderness, but fortunately, a few mercenaries who were responsible for standing guard around him were still very serious about carrying out their tasks.

Farther away, in the dark grass, greedy eyes were already firmly fixed on the mercenaries.

More mercenaries around the campfire brought up the night's food.

"Whew!" Suddenly, a dull trumpet sounded, and a large number of arrows flew near the bright campfire.

"Ah~"

"Enemy attack, meet the enemy!"

Screams mixed with shouts echoed in the night, and it was clear that the caravan's guard did not serve a warning role, and was actually touched close by the robbers, and was caught off guard with heavy casualties.

"Quick, rush over and kill those crossbowmen!"

"Assemble, those robbers are coming!"

Completely contradictory orders are interspersed in the ranks, mercenaries are scurrying around, trying to dodge bows and arrows, those who want to rush heroically, and those who don't know what to do next.

"Come to the carriage and find cover nearby", at this time, a loud voice finally sounded, and the mercenary leader shouted.

"Woo~" was another short horn, and the robbers who couldn't take advantage rushed over in droves from all sides towards the mercenaries and caravans by the carriage.

"Damn, how can there be robbers here!" The owner of the caravan hid under the carriage and scolded anxiously, he had known that there were robbers, so he hired more people, but damn, the mercenaries of the Holy Church couldn't even get a sentry, this time it was miserable, he looked at the mercenaries who were going to come to the carriage to gather when they saw the robbers coming up and scattered, rushing and hiding, there was no effective organization at all, it was over, this time it was over.

A smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of a Nord man who was still hiding on the small mound and watching, today I followed the caravan for a day, and finally it was time to harvest, the stupid Templars couldn't even organize an effective resistance, according to the wire report The goods of the caravan should be the light flannel of the Templar, this can be regarded as a relatively tight and expensive goods, if it weren't for the value of the goods, so many people would not be dispatched, the Nord man was more concerned about the ruins, but digging the ruins required manpower, supplies and time, He didn't dare to recruit miners he didn't trust to dig up, lest news of the ruins leak out, and these concerns led to the robbery to only pick those caravans that were worth selling.

Oh, the leader of the guy is good, Nord Han saw that the mercenary leader in the caravan had cut down two robbers besieging him, a little surprised, in order to avoid too much loss of manpower, it seems that he has to take action himself, he picked up the giant axe at hand, suddenly, he heard something behind him that seemed to be making a noise, he was shocked, and did not hesitate to use all his strength to turn around and sweep away.

The darkness shook faintly, and the Nord man fell in disbelief, the broken blade of the axe falling to the ground.

High-level warrior, good strength, should be the boss of the robbers, Lin Ze clenched the long sword that seemed to melt into the darkness and rushed towards the remaining robbers, just now he had seen the location of all the robbers in the sky, and now he had to go over and deal with those archers first, so as to prevent them from escaping when they saw that the situation was not good.

Damn, these damn robbers, the mercenary leader John angrily slashed up with a giant axe, forcing back a sneak attack on the side, the mercenaries are now being suppressed by the robbers by the carriage, more and more mercenaries are falling, the brown-haired young man in charge of cooking Carl was lying blankly by the campfire not far away, a crossbow arrow penetrated his throat, this is just a young man who is ready to go out to see the world, a young man with a good temper, there is no time to think about it, John feels that his strength is also declining, and the robbers are still dense, It's dangerous today.

"Ah~" The robbers who were besieging the mercenaries suddenly heard a scream from behind him, and were shocked, how could there be an enemy behind!

After Lin Ze eliminated the long-range robber archers on the periphery, he rushed directly to the infield, one sword at a time, and the robbers were killed in a panic.

Soon, when John saw that he was about to fall, suddenly the pressure lightened, and the robber who attacked him was about to turn to flee, when he was lightly stabbed down by a black long sword, and he was saved! John slumped against the wheels of the carriage, and a human in leather armor slashed at the fleeing robbers with a black sword, as fast as a shadow swaying in the night.

Lin Ze chased into the dark jungle, stabbed to death the last robber who escaped with a sword, and then transformed into a flight into the air, after confirming that there was no omission, he flew far away to the robber's cave camp, he didn't have time to talk to the caravan mercenaries he didn't know, and after confirming that the robbers who went out were not alive, he was ready to go back and cover up the cave entrance, there were a lot of things tonight.

"Huh, my lord, what should I do?" John looked at the dozen or so companions who were still able to sit and pant for breath, and sighed helplessly, "I'm afraid we can't continue this mission, the loss is too serious", John could only objectively choose to give up the mission, "I think my lord, your caravan should go back to the high post barrier and hire someone else to escort it." ”

"No, absolutely not, the robbers were all killed by the person just now, what are you afraid of?" The caravan leader roared, every mercenary who was killed or injured during the mission needs the caravan to pay a pension, and re-hire someone else has to pay another more mercenary fee, this is definitely not a small number, if you sell something, you will lose money, "The robbers are dead, I have the right to ask you to continue to perform the employment contract, and I will add two more gold coins to each dead mercenary on the basis of the previous agreement, and five more gold coins to each living mercenary!" ”

"This~" John looked at the surviving companions, they are all the elites of the team, eighteen companions died, it may be better if they can get more compensation for them, several living companions also nodded at John, John can only agree in the end, maybe there will not be so many robbers in the future, he secretly thought in his heart, robbers all have their own range of activities, this time the robbers are so powerful, it should be a large territory, at least it is unlikely to meet other robbers in a short time, I hope the next action will be smooth, blocked!
