Chapter 44: The Thieves Ambush
Blood Demon Mountain was originally an unnamed mountain in a large mountain range that stretched between Qiwu City and Cuimu City. Now Xiao has gathered more than 200 bandits, and the current big leader is the Blood Demon King.
The level of the Blood Demon King is not very high, it is only the sixth order of the Martial Saint level, and compared with the other big village masters around, there is no advantage at all. However, his race is extremely rare, and he also possesses a particularly disgusting ability, which is very good at sucking blood. The appearance is extremely ugly, and it is definitely hated by gods.
Blood Demon Mountain Gathering Hall.
The Blood Demon King sat in the first place with a very arrogant expression. On the chairs on both sides of the front, there were also more than a dozen people, all of whom were the owners of various villages.
They were discussing how to divide the spoils if they wiped out the big four-yuan caravan, and the price was very different, and it had been several days, and they couldn't talk about it.
The bandit leaders also have two Martial Saint-level seventh-order, and there are more than a dozen Martial Saint-level intermediate and beginner-level. The Blood Demon King is not only famous, but also has a bigger shelf. It has been in retreat and cultivation for many years, and it has achieved great results, and it has not been two months since it came out.
Calling himself a blood demon, in fact, it is an endless resentment and resentment mixed with pus and blood in the sea of corpses and blood, and it is not easy to say whether it is a demon or a ghost. The demons don't like them, and the demons aren't close to them.
After the completion of this exercise, he killed the original master of the village, forcibly seized the position of the master of the village, and renamed the mountain the Blood Demon Mountain.
This Blood Demon King is now in retreat for a long time to recuperate from his injuries and recuperate, and after finally recovering, he can't wait to jump out to find the enemy (the former owner of the village) to take revenge. It has a tyrannical temperament, and there is nothing to be sure of or not to be sure of that idea.
The original owner of the village didn't look down on it, thinking that it could easily win. Unexpectedly, it has increased its ability, and it itself is confused, and I don't know it. In the past, it could only passively suck blood, and when the opponent attacked it, it also sucked some of the opponent's blood, but now, when the opponent attacks it, it can fight back!
It was it that it went deep into the ground and searched for a long time before it found an ancient blood pool, and with the help of the new abilities that it had unintentionally cultivated there.
The original Dazhai Lord is a Martial Saint-level seventh-order bull demon, but he is not good at using spells, but he likes physical attacks. Fighting with the Blood Demon King, he suffered a loss at the beginning, but he didn't know how to change it at all, and he still fought and rushed. In the end, the Blood Demon King was seriously injured, but the Bull Demon King died first.
The Blood Demon King took advantage of the situation to absorb the opponent's essence blood, recovered for a few days, and his strength increased instead of falling.
After this battle, the Blood Demon King was full of confidence, and he became more and more unsightly.
After the death of the Bull Demon, there are two great commanders who are stronger than the Blood Demon King, the Bear Demon and the Tiger Demon, and neither of them wants to turn against the Blood Demon King now. But the Blood Demon King has to make every inch, and he must insist on destroying the Great Four Yuan Caravan, and he must monopolize the majority!
It even proposed that if it wants to get half of the total benefits, TNND is not afraid to die?
The Blood Demon King didn't feel that he was overdoing it at all, and he proposed that he should take the lead and be responsible for killing the opposing general, while the others besieged and dealt with the miscellaneous fish. Isn't it very reasonable to annihilate the other party in this way, and take half of it?
The bear demon and the tiger demon completely disagree with its proposition; first, they do not agree to fight to the death with each other, which is afraid that the casualties will be too heavy and may not be cost-effective; second, the distribution ratio is too unreasonable. The two sides were entangled endlessly, and a compromise could not be reached for a long time.
In the end, the tiger demon got impatient and proposed to follow the method the Blood Demon King said for the time being. Then try to make a gesture to the bear demon.
The bear demon was in a hurry, and he wanted to say more, but when he saw the tiger demon desperately squeezing his eyebrows at himself, he suddenly couldn't react and was stunned.
The others all echoed the voice, and they all felt that their side together, with a total strength of 17,800 people, would definitely be able to destroy the caravan, and there was nothing to worry about. Many people are not satisfied with the distribution, but they all secretly make up their minds that when the time comes, they will rush first, and they will grab as much as they want......
In fact, they have always had a cooperative relationship, and in the very hidden mountains nearby, there is a black spirit stone mine hidden, which was discovered by them a few years ago, and paid a heavy price, and jointly destroyed the black forces inside and forcibly occupied it.
The distribution rules there are still quite reasonable; the interests are evenly distributed, with the strong having slightly more and the weak having a little less, and there is not much controversy.
And this time, everyone is estimated to be a one-shot deal, and it is likely that the caravan will turn around on the spot after beating it!
The tiger demon did the right thing, there is no way to waste time and tongue, and then the ink is endless, I'm afraid that the caravan has passed and everyone hasn't quarreled yet.
All the people in the caravan took the car, more than 800 people and 200 carts, and if each cart only sat four or five people, the space was more than enough. Now it is necessary to leave a lot of primary storage bags in most of the empty space, and people are more crowded inside.
Although the guards didn't know the inside story, seeing that the battle was so big, they naturally understood that this mission was not trivial.
After many years of walking this road, the upper echelons of the Chamber of Commerce have an understanding of the general strength of the thieves along the way, and even if they can really unite, they will not be stronger than the overall strength of the Chamber of Commerce. In fact, there are probably more than thousands of thieves along the way, and it is impossible for them all to get together.
Qiwu City also has several other big cities "close to each other", and the other major roads are farther away. The Great Siyuan Chamber of Commerce can theoretically only take this road when it goes to Cuimu City this time, otherwise it will have to take a long detour.
The bandits of the Blood Demon Mountain started planning early, because they had already gotten inside information. Qi Wucheng has the sworn enemy of the Great Four Yuan Chamber of Commerce, and they deliberately sell their hard-won information to the thieves and spies, and they very much hope that the Great Four Yuan Chamber of Commerce will be dealt a heavy blow.
The bandits of the Blood Demon Mountain finally reached an "agreement" for the time being, and they went to the vicinity of the main road early to ambush them, preparing to ambush the Great Four Yuan Caravan.
In order to complete this task, the Great Siyuan Chamber of Commerce has been working hard to recruit people recently, and the biggest harvest is Tongyinxin. There are more and fewer other newcomers, all of which are just quantitative changes and have little impact on the overall situation.
Thieves block the road and rob each other, which is a common occurrence in caravans, and most of them used to negotiate with each other and pay each other some money to buy the road. For example, if there are 100 carts, you can endure the pain of giving people about ten spirit stones, and spend money to avoid disasters.
Generally, this is the case when the strength of the thief is weaker than that of the caravan, otherwise there will be more "breaking the cost". If the thief is too weak, he will automatically get out of the way, and if the thief is too strong, there is nothing to negotiate.
The Great Four Yuan caravan can travel 30 kilometers per hour, and can travel 200 kilometers every day, camp and rest at night, and if there is no accident, it can reach Emerald Wood City in four days. It takes about two or three days to deliver the goods in Emerald Wood City and bring the goods for return transportation, and it takes nearly half a month to return the goods.
On the third day, the caravan was on alert, and unless there was none, the thieves would appear at any time during the day. It usually won't be the fourth day, and on the fourth day, the road to Emerald Wood City is too close, and the thieves should also be worried.
When it was close to noon, Tong Yinxin saw it from a distance, and in the middle of the road, there was a monster in the middle of the road.
At this moment, there was still a gap of more than 100 meters, and the first vice president hurriedly ordered, and the convoy quickly formed a large circle and set up a posture of stubborn defense. Two hundred coachmen quickly untied the horses and led them into the inner ring to prevent them from being injured. More than 400 guards were hidden behind the carriage, and 100 amateur archers were ready to attack in the carriage.
There is a compartment for every two carriages, and a 10-centimeter-square shooting hole is opened on the left side to facilitate aiming and shooting. Each amateur archer brought two pots full of forty arrows. Even if there is no copper and silver xin, the caravan is going to take a risk this time;
The purchase of this batch of high-quality bows and arrows was purchased by the Second Vice President through his own extremely secret channels, and had just arrived ten days ago. The Chamber of Commerce paid three hundred spirit stones for this, and the vice president also paid a lot of reluctance.
The bandits also have bows and arrows, but they are few in number, and they are of a variety of models, and there are very few thieves who are proficient in this way, and no one likes to delve into this at all. Among the more than 800 thieves who are currently in ambush, a dozen more amateur archers have been put together to scare people.
Bows and arrows are particularly important controlled long-range weapons in the army, and theoretically they are absolutely not allowed to be leaked out, let alone privately possessed by the people; No one can control the wild, but the outside world is indeed very rare.
Regular archers are also the most special class of troops, and their pay is the highest. Regarding the specialty of bows and arrows, it is omitted here.
The first vice president's surname is Yuan, and he is an ape clan, with long hands and feet, extremely high agility, and good at cloaking and swordsmanship. Moreover, for this trip, a hundred spirit stones were specially purchased, and a hundred primary flame talismans were ruthlessly purchased, which could be blessed on the sword to face the enemy if necessary.
The convoy set up a defensive bucket array, and the thieves all stood up, no longer hiding meaninglessly.
Vice President Yuan took a general look, there were more than a dozen bandit leaders on the other side, and there were about 20 people led by his own side, and the number of leaders would definitely not suffer, but there were too many minions on the other side, and there were only more than 500 guards on his side. But their own side defended and had a slight upper hand.
The other party is all demons and demons, with rough skin and thick flesh, and bows and arrows can only harass and weaken, but they add up to a lot, and the effect of pulling is extremely considerable.
The Blood Demon King shouted arrogantly: "You big four-yuan caravan, have you said that it counts, a certain blood demon king is also, waiting for you to come and answer." ”
Everyone looked over, this Blood Demon King, as rumored, was dressed in dark red and dark red, the shape was indescribable, and it seemed to be paralyzed on the ground below, and there was a person who was more than half similar to a human body on it, with a blurred face. I didn't fight, I was going to vomit nausea first.
The other demon kings, little minions, and none of those beast heads are not hideous and terrifying. These are the barbarians, all of them looking strange.
The city is much better, the appearance of all races, imperceptibly for tens of thousands of years, is infinitely approaching the human race, and the aesthetics are gradually moving closer to the human race.
Vice President Yuan replied: "I, Yuan Hong, am the vice president of the Great Four Yuan Caravan, and I am in charge of the affairs here. What do you want?"
