When the battle situation was about to collapse, the leader of the convoy escort forced back several opponents who were attacking around him, and shouted at the group of bandits:

"Your Excellency, Chief, let your men stop, I ask for a renegotiation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Then he took the lead in a compromise posture to make all the resisting guards retreat, and the bandits, although they had the advantage, did not take the opportunity to kill them all, and after the two retreated, the chaotic sword shadow and magic brilliance slowly disappeared into invisibility.

The leader of the guards stood facing the clearing, as if waiting for the other to appear.

"Oh, that's a lot of trouble! I said a long time ago that a peaceful solution would be best, but Your Excellency just wouldn't listen! Look, how good it is now!"

With the sound of answering, a shadow appeared out of thin air on the open space opposite, and after a few flashes, he turned into a bearded man, and this position deviated from the direction of the head of the guard's gaze by seven or eight meters, which made him frown and secretly confirmed his previous worries in his heart: the other party is really a difficult character, although he has not made a move once since he disguised his body, but he can't accurately detect the trace with his own concentration and vigilance, and the other party is at least a high-level thief no less than his own level.

As a melee profession with strong defense, he is not very afraid of confronting thieves head-on, but after all, the current situation is not a fair competition, and the field chaos is the situation that can best give full play to the advantages of thieves' killing blows, and the most critical point is that he must ensure the safety of the master on the carriage behind him, which makes him absolutely dare not take more risks, otherwise he will definitely not compromise with a group of robbers even if he is dead according to his temperament.

"Hmph, let me ask Your Excellency again, do you really not consider the consequences of kidnapping us? If the people in the car behind me are hurt in the slightest, no matter how big the empire is, there will definitely be no place for you anymore, I admit that you are a strong man, but the anger of the Eighth Order powerhouse and even the Holy Priest also think that you are capable of bearing it!"

In response to the scolding of the guard knight, the sloppy man, who was the leader of the bandits, was picking his ears with his fingers, and he was extremely impatient:

"Oh! I said that you are so verbose, I won't hide if you can't beat me? Besides, isn't it the only son of the Grand Duke, you said it before! But for people who make a living like us, it makes no difference whether they are commoners or nobles, and the primary consideration is nothing more than how much it is worth, and from this point of view, the price I offer is enough to represent my respect for your lord, isn't it!"

"You ......"

The captain of the guard was furious when he heard this, and the other party's attitude of valuing them as if they were goods made him angry, but when he looked back at the carriage, he had to suppress his boundless anger.

"We promised you the previous conditions, 100,000 gold coins to let us go!"

But who knew that he gritted his teeth and was interrupted by the other party before he finished speaking: "Slow! It's not 100,000, it's 200,000!"

"You...... You don't believe what you say, as a strong man you don't even have the most basic integrity......" The captain of the guard laughed angrily, and his hand trembling as he pointed at the bandit leader.

"Hey, hey, you also said that this is the price just now, and that is only established under the premise that you don't resist, you won't forget who is the one who refuses me to settle peacefully and has to fight hard! Now you see that I have lost so many brothers on my side, I have to ask for some compensation, and if I can't fight hard, I want to settle it peacefully, if I don't do more, wouldn't it be tantamount to encouraging you to make trouble for me, so it seems that the capricious should be on your side, right?"

"You ......"

"Oh, don't be so stingy! Look at the luxury carriage behind you, I'm afraid it will cost thousands of gold coins, 200,000 yuan is nothing to the master you protect, isn't it? Besides, this money is used to buy your life, how cost-effective! Not to mention that your master is one of the five great swordsmen under the Holy Level of the Imperial Capital, and your life is definitely worth this price!

I'm right?...... Lord Eric of the Wind Sword. "The bandit leader still has a rogue smile on his face, which is very infuriating.

But he called the name of the captain of the guard, but Eric was silent for a while, which shows that the other party knows his name and naturally knows who the master he is serving is, and the robber who dares to risk the revenge of a grand duke full of anger is either a dirt bun who doesn't know anything or a ruthless character who has no fear.

Before, I saw that he was indifferent to the title of the Grand Duke, thinking that he probably belonged to the former, but now it seems that it may not be, which makes Eric a little worried, and after weighing it in his heart for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, I promise you, 200,000 will be 200,000!"

"Hehe, that's right! It's better to solve the problem like this and be kind. Brothers, it's time to call it a day......"

"But we don't have so much money in the car!" Eric interrupted helplessly, causing the expression on the bandit leader's face to stiffen, and in a moment he narrowed his eyes, touched the scruffy beard on his chin and said playfully:

"Tsk, dear Lord 'Wind Sword', lying will cost the devil to cut out his tongue! You know, I'm patient, but I don't want to be played!"

"Do I still have to lie to you? If it weren't for that, I would have agreed to your conditions at the beginning, and then there would have been a chance for you to sit on the ground and raise the price. Do you think I'm really stupid enough to rely on this little bit of people under my hands to fight you for 100,000 gold coins!"

After hearing this, the bandit leader glanced at his eyes and nodded, saying, "Okay, I believe you! But you are also true, why didn't you tell me the situation earlier? It seems that Your Excellency still has some misunderstanding about me, do you think that if I can't get the money right away, I will be angry and kill the killer? Oh, how can it be, I am a robber and not an executioner.

So, now I will never be unreasonable, since I can't get the money now, then leave the young master of the duke's family as a hostage, you can go back and get ......"

"Absolutely not!" said Eric, suddenly.

"Alas, this can't do that, it doesn't work, could it be that Your Excellency wants to continue to do it?"

"Keep me here as a hostage and let the others go back and get the money. You just told me I'm worth the price!"

The bandit leader sneered and stomped two steps forward, "Figure out the situation, it's not up to you to decide now! Either leave the people in the car behind, or ...... You know that!"

"If you want to keep the young master, step over my corpse!" Eric took a step forward and raised his sword again.

"Do you think that with the rest of the people there is any hope of winning? If you lose, the end result will not be the same. I'm unlucky to run into such a fool as you who can't settle accounts!" the bandit leader calmly drew his dagger from his waist with both hands, and the others around him also took up a posture ready to continue the fight.

At the critical moment when it was about to erupt, a crisp voice came from above the carriage: "Don't fight, I agree to stay!"

As the door of the carriage slowly opened, a handsome and richly dressed little Masata stepped out of it.

Seeing this, Eric didn't care about the enemy in front of him, and hurriedly stepped to the carriage and anxiously dissuaded:

"Young master, don't do it! As the chief of the guard of the Jue Mansion, I can't leave you behind for anything, please go back to the car and rest for a while, I will definitely take you out ......"

"Uncle Eric, I don't need to say any more, I'm afraid you know in your heart that if we continue to fight, our people will only increase casualties, and besides, if they want to exchange me for money, they will definitely not hurt my life. So it's best for me to stay. ”

Xiao Zhengtai, as the son of the duke, really has an unusual performance, although he is still young, he speaks loudly, and when he sees that Eric is going to dissuade him, he straightens his face.

"Needless to say, it's an order!" said he walked around Eric and came to the bandit leader.

"I promise you to stay here as a hostage, but you have to let the other people leave, and when they return home safely, someone will naturally send you money, otherwise you won't want to get any of them!"

The bandit leader looked at Xiao Zhengtai, who was full of adult style in front of him, with a smile, and suddenly raised his hand, which shocked Eric next to him, and when he found that the other party only rubbed the young master's head indiscriminately twice, he put down his heart slightly.

The sloppy man ignored Xiao Zhengtai's angry eyes while sorting out his own messed hair, and said with a haha:

"Since you are so responsible, young master, I have to show some courage to let them go!"

After saying that, he waved his hand to let his subordinates make a way, and when he looked back, he saw that Eric was still very angry, and narrowed his eyes and said:

"I advise Your Excellency to recognize the status quo, although I think I am not a ruthless person, but I am not an indecisive person, don't waste the kindness of your young master!"

Hearing this, Eric's body was shocked, and the expression on his face was even more tangled, whether he should sacrifice his life to save his honor or make the best choice and leave with humiliation.

"Ahh

A chaotic exclamation suddenly sounded from the side, and when I turned my head to look, I saw that the robbers watching from the periphery were like piles of fallen leaves swept by the wind, and I don't know what force had knocked down a large area.

"When the road is uneven, you roar, when it's time to shoot! Although the bloody plot is good, the protagonist should not be greedy!"

With inexplicable shouting, two figures appeared from the void.
