Chapter 36: Temporary Bodyguards
found a tavern and six people occupied a table, asked for three pots of wine, four catties of barbecue meat while eating and chatting, and asked and Simba for a roast sheep. This person, as soon as he drank too much, his voice couldn't be controlled, and the whole tavern could hear the conversation between the four people at the middle table.
"I heard that tomorrow the convoy of Yongfeng Commercial Bank will set off early in the morning, the scale is really amazing, jewelry, food, magic crystals, weapons loaded with twenty carts, and the grapevine says that there are also foreign slaves. Yongfeng Commercial Bank has passed through the Sunset Jungle safely this time, but it is not enough to hire the two most powerful mercenary groups in Sunset Town, I heard that they are still hiring people outside, and I don't know how many people they want to protect. Drinker A said.
"No matter how many people he protects, our mercenary group will not participate in this kind of thing, the bigger the convoy, the bigger the gangsters, everyone understands, no matter how high the commission is, it can be worth a life, so I won't go." Drinker B slapped the table, "Two more catties of demon rhino meat!"
The surrounding audience just listened, and then ate the meat of the meat, and drank the wine, this is already a matter that passers-by know that it is not a big deal, and it is only the Luo Wen Seven who have only come to Sunset Town to listen to it with relish.
After returning to the resident hotel after a full meal, just about to wash up and rest, the leading teacher Jockry knocked on the door one by one to summon everyone to say that something was announced, and after everyone gathered in Jokri's room, Jockry announced one thing: tomorrow the whole team will participate in the mission of escorting Yongfeng Commercial Bank, which is approved by the academy as "the right time and the right time for the students to fight appropriately".
"I'm ¥%...#..."The little fat man and Luo Wen are in a room, after closing the door, it is a scolding, everyone is in a hurry to their own way, and they will be involved in some other things immediately, but today I heard that Yongfeng Commercial Bank has been targeted by bandits, and it is not uncomfortable to protect it at this time.
"What are you afraid of, there are several big mercenary groups to protect us, and we also have a guard teacher, don't be afraid, there is a tall one on top of the sky falling. Luo Wenman doesn't care about the Tao, let's go together, anyway, it's also a way.
At dawn the next day, the exchange students and their teachers went to the place where the Yongfeng Comptoir convoy was scheduled to meet. At breakfast time, the breakfast shop in Sunset Town was steaming, and the scheduled meeting place was a rectangular square, only to see that there were already dozens of people drinking porridge around the breakfast stall in the square, eating steamed buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk.
The students and teachers of the academy found a place to stand and wait, and then the leader of the group, Chokri, left to contact the caravan leader. The number of people in the square slowly increased, and Luo Wen observed that the people in the square now should be members of a mercenary group except for their academy and hawkers, because they all had a clover embroidered on their chests, and roughly counted, this mercenary group should have more than thirty people.
In the distance, Chokri and a middle-aged scribe were chatting hotly, walking towards the academy.
"I'm glad I met you, brother. I'm really not at ease with others. When I arrived in Jincheng, I would like to thank my senior brother and all the seniors and juniors. The middle-aged scribe clasped Chokri's hand and looked excited.
"Meeting is fate, and I am very happy to be able to help my junior brother. You see, this is the elite of our Truth Academy who went to Wuding Mountain to be exchange students this time, as well as five teachers who accompanied the team, three high-level samurai, and two high-level magicians, and our exchange students are all junior elites. Fifteen samurai, and five magicians, how about it, it's okay. Jokry pointed to the Loewens.
"It's quite good, I'm much more relieved, I still know the strength of our academy. Then don't bother, I'll coordinate the other two mercenary groups, and I'll do as we say. The middle-aged scribe said goodbye to Jockry and hurried away.
Chokry told everyone to protect the back of the group when they set off, and the other two mercenary groups were in charge of the front.
Outside the square, there was a burst of chickens and dogs, and the dust stirred up by the horse team covered the sky, and the second mercenary group came with great momentum, and it seemed that there were more than thirty people, each with an angular stone embroidered on his chest. The leader was a bald man with a huge broadsword on his back and well-developed limbs, flying off his horse and walking towards the middle-aged scribe, at this time, a woman wearing a magic robe and squatting on the ground to eat fritters also got up and walked towards the middle-aged scribe.
"These two should be the leaders of the two mercenary groups, and it seems that they have discussed. Rowan chatted with a few friends, and talked about it with a lively attitude. It didn't take long for the leaders of the two mercenary groups to start arranging people to stand. Of course, the convoy of Yongfeng Commercial Bank is protected in the middle, and the leader of the Clover Mercenary Group is the female magician, and someone is arranged to be in charge of the left side of the convoy, and the Boulder Mercenary Group is responsible for the right side of the convoy.
After the convoy was integrated, it started slowly. Shamrock and the Boulder Mercenary Group heard that the convoy was finally formed by the people of the Truth Academy and came to greet everyone, after all, the Truth Academy is the highest school in the Moss Empire, and many talents are graduates of the Truth Academy, and it just so happens that the leader of the Clover Mercenary Group, the deputy leader, the female magician Mandy is a graduate of the Truth Academy, and is the senior sister of Chokry and others. After greeting everyone for a long time, the two went back, and the deputy head of the boulder mercenary group, the bald muscular man Venal, was even cooler and nodded to everyone, and went back after knowing each other.
The entire convoy of about 100 people set off from Sunset Town.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Yongfeng Commercial Bank is leading the team is my junior brother Ya Luo Aowen, who also graduated from our Truth Academy, this time I was invited by my junior brother to help him, and at the same time I was able to complete the task assigned to us by the academy, it is like killing two birds with one stone, and my junior brother promised that I would give each of you a big red envelope after I arrived in Jincheng, and I also asked you to do your best. Jokry said with a smile, the lure and the threat together, I believe that these fledgling rookies have no objections, as for the guard teacher, the red envelope was already made last night.
After the students expressed no objection, they slowly followed the convoy. Since it is a temporary bodyguard, Rowan and a few magic pets naturally can't stay in the carriage all the time, otherwise others will think they are paddling, so they used ten magic crystals to make the agree to sit on its back, but it feels worth it, the has grown up, the furry is so comfortable, it's cost-effective! Little fat man, Al and Zack rode the jungle leopard, Xiaqiu rode Simba, Weiss and Nick could only look at them with envy, and sat in the carriage stupidly. The other fifteen junior samurai were even more devoid of magical favors, as they believed more in their weapons.
Luo Wen quietly observed the strength of the two mercenary groups, the two deputy commanders should be senior warriors and magicians, and there are also a few high-level warriors under him, but there are no magicians, they are all samurai with spears or swords, or knives, more junior samurai, each of them rides a war horse, and looks at the pets of Luo Wen and others with strong envy.
"It seems that magicians are really a scarce profession, and only a deputy leader of such a large mercenary group is a magician. Luo Wen was whispering to Xia Qiu next to him, because as the two of them were at the same height on their mounts, it was the best time to chat.
"Not really, because everyone can be a samurai, but not everyone can be a magician. Xia Qiu sighed and said, "Although there are few magicians in comparison, magicians are also more difficult, and before becoming a high-level magician, the combat power of magicians is not comparable to that of a samurai, so more people will choose to be a samurai." ”
"Oh, I see. Luo Wen nodded disapprerovingly, I didn't think it was so difficult to become a magician, I just did it casually, and my combat power can also be.
After the convoy finally fully entered the Sunset Jungle, a person quietly left in the crowd not far from the checkpoint, entered an inn and went up to the second floor and released a carrier pigeon.
In the middle of the Sunset Jungle, there is a lake, and tents are set up around it, and the smoke from the cooking stove indicates that at least one or two hundred people live here. In the largest tent in the middle, a middle-aged man with a hooked nose and slanted eyebrows was catching a carrier pigeon, removing the bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg, and then looked at the people on the left and right, took a deep breath and said, "They are leaving!"
Immediately, the people in the tent became excited.
"NND, let's wait!"
"It's finally here, and we're going to kill as many people as we have waited so long. ”
The middle-aged man with slanted eyebrows coughed: "According to the news, they have hired two mercenary groups, plus their own guards, the total number of people is about a hundred, and the highest-end force is only high-level warriors and magicians, and it is said that there are only two or three magicians." ”
"Boss Qiu, with our strength, we are still afraid that they will not succeed, and please give them orders, so that they will not come back!"
"Yes, Boss Qiu, we will do what you say!"
"Okay, what's the excitement, Boss Qiu hasn't said what to do, you see that you are not calm at all, how can you make a fortune?"
Boss Qiu said: "My plan is like this......"
——
The convoy of the merchant house carried too many goods, the speed of travel was very slow, and it was also a car pulled by a large force but a very slow bull, and at noon the team was still on the way up the mountain, and from the top down, you could see the houses of Sunset Town at the foot of the mountain.
"I'll come down and rest, handjob, why don't you grow more meat on your back, my poor ass. Luo Wen still decided to go back to the carriage to rest, and Xia Qiu and the others also felt that it was too slow, so they all got off their mounts and returned to the carriage.
"Come, Xiaobai come down. , you go catch a wild boar or something, and make you a barbecue to eat at noon. Lovan shouted.
"Simba should go too, and improve the food for everyone. Natsucho called out to Simba, who disappeared into the woods as soon as he heard that there was barbecue to eat. The, who was already not interested in barbecue and didn't want to move it at all, saw that Simba had gone out, and climbed into the dense forest with a bear roar, not wanting to be robbed of the limelight by Simba at any moment.
"Brother Xia, you know me, hahaha. Luo Wen looked at Xia Qiu and laughed.
"Where, where, what, the weather is so nice today, hahaha. Xia Qiu originally wanted Simba to behave in order to earn back the face of being "injured" by the, but who knew that the would not give any face.
After waiting for a long time, and Simba each brought back a wild boar.
"I have a barbecue to eat at noon today!"
Just when the order of Yaro Owen came, everyone rested on the spot for lunch, and there happened to be a stream on the side, which could replenish the dismounts and men. Rowan and Little Fat Man began to tidy up the two wild boars.
