Chapter 35 Killing Chickens and Monkeys

At the scene of the battle, Shi Hao sent people to do a simple cleanup, he moved the corpses of those people and horses to the side of the road, one by one, side by side, the soldiers of the Andur family died more than 50 people, the family servants in the carriage died more than 20 people, plus there were more than 40 horses that were killed, these corpses were lined up, the most nearly 200 meters long, which was very shocking.

He deliberately left the carriages with the horses unloaded on the road, blocking the road ahead. Shi Hao sat on the roof of a carriage with a sabre, and there were seven or eight warriors around him who were preparing for battle with the carriage as cover, looking like they were waiting for a rabbit.

They waited for about twenty minutes until the second convoy of escapees arrived. This time the convoy was larger than that of the Andur family, with ten carriages and a hundred guards on horseback. However, judging from the color and style of the carriage, it is clear that this convoy was composed of three small convoys. The scouts arranged by the convoy saw the abnormal situation here from a distance, and they rushed forward to see the situation here, but they didn't expect to hit the corpses all over the ground as soon as they came. One of them turned and ran away in fright, and the other scout was better, and he mustered up the courage to step forward and roughly count the number of corpses on the ground, but the strange way they died still gave him chills.

"Hey, you go over and bring a word. Leo walked out of the woods next to the corpse, "The road here has been blocked by the Tower of China, you better listen to us, go to the camp with us, and hand over your belongings to us for safekeeping and review, otherwise these people in front of you will be your example." ”

The scout was frightened by the sudden appearance of Leo, and he kept a safe distance from Leo and asked, "My lord, are these people the Andur family who are ahead of us?"

"That's right, they took the initiative to attack our army, and you can see the results after that. A few steps ahead from your position, you can see Viscount Valdo and his wife. Hehe, the red, blood-filled one is the viscount. Leo sneered and said: "What are you afraid of, I won't kill you, come over and take a look at it clearly, so that I can give your master a careful report! lest they see the situation clearly and make the same mistake as the viscount, and they will regret it when the time comes." ”

The scout approached the Viscount's family and took a few closer looks, then hurried back with his horse on his horse.

The team consisted of a merchant Favres, a mid-level mage Prados, and a nobleman, Baron Portinas, the darer scout under Baron Portinas. When he arrived at the convoy, which was far away, it caused panic among the entire team.

"Shall we go back, is it too late to take the southern path?" said the fat merchant who spoke was Favres, who carried the most of the three teams, and six of the ten carriages were his. Half of them were filled with belongings. Half of the guards on horseback were also his men.

"That's impossible. These men were cavalry, much faster than our carriages. If we run away, we will only be killed by them on the way to escape. "Baron Portinas was born in the military, he is a middle-aged man with a serious expression, he is dressed in armor, he looks quite heroic, as a mid-level peak warrior, he is also the strongest in this team. Although he carried fewer men than Favreth, the quality was much higher, and the main strength of this team came from the guards and veterans he brought back from the border. He watched from a distance for a while, and could not see the Chinese hidden in the forest, but from the rangers running on the side of the road, he saw a fierce color, "These cavalry are quite elite, although they are not veterans, but they are well trained." It would be unwise to clash with them. ”

"I don't think it's okay to do what they say. "Master Prados is a guest of the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce is ready to defend Suero with the Marquis, but he is not ready to accompany him, so he ran out with his apprentice and family, "I have dealt with the Chinese, and in general it is still reasonable, I don't believe they will confiscate all your belongings." ”

Favreth complained: "You don't have much money at all, of course you can say that. But all my life's savings are here. Everyone knows that these soldiers are leeche-turned-devils, and if we flinch a little, they will suck every drop of blood out of us. We can't just listen to them, we have to fight them!"

Prados sneered: "Fight, what to fight, I'm just a mid-level mage, in front of the masters of the Tower of China, I'm a fart, what about you?

Favreth blushed and said angrily: "I, I'll go and reason with them! Do they want an intact Suero, after offending the merchants, they will only be an empty city if they take Suero!"

Prados said: "Wouldn't it be right to kill you businessmen who are unwilling to stay and cooperate, but only want to run away with money, and support those businessmen who stay and support them?"

Baron Portinas said, "Well, it's useless for you to quarrel anymore. What to do, just make a quick decision. Those Chinese don't seem to be ready to wait, those cavalry are passing orders, they may be moving. ”

Favreth said, "Alright! I decided to talk to them myself, everything in this world is just business." There's nothing you can't talk about!"

——————————————

In the early years, he had entered and exited the front line between the empire and the kingdom for profit, and provided supplies for the kingdom's army. At that time, it was common to see sporadic battles of all kinds, and at the height of the fighting, there was an opportunity to see dead people almost every day. But when he walked past the row of corpses of the Andur family, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, sweat broke out on his head, and he couldn't help but cover his chest, and this kind of ritual image in front of him kept shaking his heart.

Just before leaving today, he had chatted with the Andur family and invited them to join him. However, at that time, Viscount Waldo thought that he was very strong, and did not join their team, insisting on setting off first. Favreth remembered the Viscount's pride at the time, but now he lay there, a pile of rotten meat. He couldn't help but think that if the four families acted together at that time, and Viscount Waldo went to annoy the Chinese and dragged them into the war together, what would be the result?
