This summer was a difficult season for the people of Swadia - the crops in the fields had withered before the autumn harvest was even before the autumn harvest was severed, the countless women who worked at home did not expect the fathers of their children to knock on their doors again, and those displaced by the war became a nightmare for the merchants.

They have lost everything they have, and they feel that they should rely on everything else to support themselves. You can call them robbers, robbers, woods heroes, or whatever, you like. Because they don't care what you call them, they only care about how many dinars they have in their hands today.

These people ravaged almost all of Svadia. Kyle Redan, a place that should have been far from the center of the war, was not spared.

On a mountain trail leading to Kelredan, a group of robbers waited for their prey to pass by. "Chief, how long are we going to stay here?" The scorching sun was shining, and even though the foliage above their heads blocked out most of the sunlight, the robber still felt extremely hot. "In the past few days, there have been fewer and fewer fat sheep passing by here, but that girl, I have come here to inspect several times, and many of our brothers have been caught by her, if I didn't feel something was wrong in advance, I would have withdrawn first, I'm afraid I would have caught them now." He said this, swallowing a little frightened.

And their leader, a middle-aged man with a somewhat thin hair and a scruffy beard, did not seem to listen to the robber, and stared intently at the corner under the cliff.

When the robber saw that the leader did not reply, he complained to himself. "Well, it's said that Kyle Redan is rich like heaven, well, I think that's an exaggeration. He pursed his lips and took out a piece of brown bread and nibbled on it. "It's not that I eat this hard black bread to make a living, and I can only rob these things every day. ”

Their leader sneered, and then said, "These merchants who steal money wish those mercenaries didn't even have to eat black bread, so that they could save the dinar to buy an extra barrel of wine." The leader took out a piece of brown bread and began to nibble on it. "But if we're lucky, if we meet a few fat sheep carrying cabbage, apples, and cheese, we'll be able to feast on it. ”

The robber shook his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead irritably, and then said: "Alas, we have been here for almost two months, and we haven't seen a few fat sheep, but the crazy girl has seen many times." Even this thing (he gestured to the black bread in his hand) was about to become a luxury. ”

Suddenly, the leader quieted him down. He immediately understood what the leader meant, and almost instantly raised his ears to listen carefully to the movement in the distance.

“...... Boss, this time it's a big fish!" he whispered, his voice trembling with excitement. "Listen to this movement, we are going to get rich!" At the same time, it also reminded the brothers behind him to cheer up.

"Be quiet, maybe it's a trap, wait until you see it clearly. The leader said cautiously, quietly waiting for the moment when the caravan would show its head.

The sound of the caravan is getting closer and louder. At last, the leading mercenary appeared from around the corner, followed by a whole group of soldiers, probably more than fifty men, and behind them a group of strangely shaped wagons, the boxes on which were carved with strange patterns, as if they were some kind of beast. A long convoy weaves through the mountain trails, and the people accompanying them appear careless, with a kind of tiredness peculiar to the length of the trek.

Seeing this, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of the leader's mouth. "Look, this is a southerner caravan, and this is the big fish of the big fish. He pulled out the knife from his waist and said sarcastically, "They must have walked too long to be defenseless." Brethren, let us entertain these guests!"

The opportunity is rare, and at this time, he is eighty percent sure that he can eat this group of southerners. So he didn't hesitate and gave an order to his subordinates behind him to take action immediately.

And the caravan down the mountain had not yet learned that they were about to be doomed. In one of them, a clearly different, luxurious carriage, a handsome, clean black-haired man lifted the curtains and looked at the scenery in the distance.

"This Pangbang water and soil, but it has a flavor. He exclaimed. "I wonder how far this Kyle Redan is going?" Sitting across from him was an emaciated man, white as a eunuch. "It's not far away, you'll be in Kerrydan City today, and I'll give you the best hospitality when the time comes. The man had rings on his hands, and when he counted them, there were ten.

"You're welcome, Francis, my generation can have a place in this foreign land, and it depends on your help. Sammer said politely.

"Please don't exalt me like that, I'm not a good person. To be honest, the goods of your southerners have made me a lot of pure gold dinars. Francis said with a smile. "Since you want to do long-term business this time, I can't let others take the lead. ”

Sammer smiled faintly, he naturally understood that the benefits that Francis got from him were far more than that, but after all, he was subject to others, and he didn't want to say anything, so he said something that he didn't know and responded at will.

After they had chatted like this for a few moments, Francis suddenly changed his words and asked, "So, I seem to hear the rumors, that this time Mr. Sammer is not only here to do business, but also to find something?"

Sammer was shocked, he didn't expect Francis to be so well-informed, and very few people knew about it, so he didn't know where he found out about it. "This is just a little personal matter, nothing interesting. ”

Francis apparently didn't want to let him go, and for some reason, he seemed to care about it. "Please tell me what you are looking for, and if there is anything you can do to help, please ask, and I will do my best to help you. ”

Sammer was feeling embarrassed, and he didn't know how to refuse. But he heard a loud bang that shook the sky, and then there was a killing shout.

"What's going on?" asked Sammer as he turned to the guard outside the window. "Don't be in charge, we've been attacked!" the guard drew his sword and secured it beside the carriage. "The leader of those mercenaries was killed by a boulder, and now they are in chaos!"

Sammer was shocked, but he didn't expect that the road would be safe, and something happened when he was about to reach his destination. "How many robbers are there?"

"I can't see clearly, but I'm afraid I can hear several times more than us. ”

Sammer nodded his head, "You're in charge, but a bunch of bandits, quickly clean them up." With that, he lowered the curtains and sat back in the car.

Francis was not as calm as he was, he was restless, for fear that if these southerners were defeated, his life would be confessed here.

"Don't be impatient, Francis, my men have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they are all professional martial artists, and ordinary thieves are not their opponents. Sammer said confidently.

Francis was still uneasy, but he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only pretend to be calm and wait for the results with Thornmer. But his hands kept rubbing together betrayed his panic.

The battle was very stalemate, except for being caught off guard at the beginning, those mercenaries resisted stubbornly, and after finding that the victory was fruitless, they found an opportunity to flee for their lives. And those southerner guards broke out with extraordinary combat effectiveness, only to see these seemingly fierce robbers being cut down one after another. Despite being outnumbered, the robbers had a faint feeling that they were about to be defeated.

"Chief, these people are not easy to deal with!" said the thief-eyed robber, touching the blood on his face. "Our brethren have rushed several times, and none of them have fallen!"

The leader also knew that this time he had hit an iron plate, and seeing that more than half of the brothers had suffered casualties, and that he wanted to retreat at this time, he would have lost all his efforts. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind that he had to eat this iron plate.

"Get those guys out and let these black-eyeballs taste our awesomeness!" he yelled, and his men immediately understood, and hurried to carry the 'guys'

After a while, the brand-new crossbows were taken out, and their leader commanded some of them to start operating these precious killing weapons.

With a few sounds of breaking through the air, several guards fell down with a muffled grunt, they were still fighting bravely to kill the enemy, but the next second they were pierced by the crossbow.

"Don't be in charge! Oh no! These guys have strong crossbows, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist it!" the guard said anxiously, as he lifted the door.

Sammo couldn't sit still now, no matter how strong his martial arts were, he couldn't play any role in front of the crossbow. "That's bad...... Now I can only give up the goods and break through. Thornmer immediately made a judgment, pulled Francis, who had not yet reacted, rushed out of the carriage and rode on a fast horse.

"Quick! let everyone get on the horse, give up all the goods, and fight your way out!" Although Sammo also knew how to use a sword, but he had never been in the battle formation in person, at this time he was just forced to composure, if it weren't for this, with his wisdom, how could he not have imagined that the other party had already guessed that they wanted to break through?

Seeing that the young master gave an order, these guards did not say a word, they got on their horses one after another, and took the lead in preparing to rush out. Francis mingled between them, hoping only that no crossbowmen would aim at him.

They are worthy of high martial arts, and these robbers can't stop their charge at all. They were so strong that they broke out of the encirclement of the robbers in one fell swoop.

"Chief, they're ready to run. But all this was not expected by the robbers, they had been prepared for a long time.

The leader smiled coldly and ordered, "Pull the stumbling rope!"

I saw that several ropes suddenly appeared in the middle of the road, and some wooden fences were tied to them, and the wooden fences were full of spikes.

The guards at the front didn't have time to stop, they tripped and fell to the ground, and they were unlucky enough to fall on the spikes, and they died on the spot. The guards behind had to stop, trying to find a new way out.

The crossbowmen took the opportunity to reap several more lives, and the robbers surrounded the rest of the people, and it was almost impossible to rush out again.

Sammer's horse also tripped up, but luckily a guard sacrificed his life to save him from falling and dying. Francis had already knelt on the ground, hoping that the men would recognize him and that he would only need a ransom.

Sammer staggered to his feet, with less than a dozen guards beside him, and at least a dozen robbers. The crossbowmen loaded their crossbows, and the crossbow arrows glowing with cold light were aimed at Sammer and the others, who were already certain to die.

"Listen, black-eyed, I am a man of good will, and if you are willing to give up your resistance, we will spare your lives, as long as your goods are served. The robbers, who were about to deal with the last enemy, were stopped by their leader.

These southerners were very strong, they originally had more than 200 people, and they had already suffered more than 100 casualties against the guards of less than 50 people, and the leader did not want to risk fighting these trapped beasts, and wanted to try to deceive them into giving up resistance, so that they could be easily defeated.

Sammo secretly regretted that he was so careless? If he underestimated his opponent, he was about to die here? Hearing the words of the leader of the robbers, he was a little moved.

"Is this true? There are still savings in the next family, if you are willing to let us go, you are willing to give it away. He was afraid that these bandits would regret it, so he hurriedly increased the price.

Francis on the side sighed secretly, how could he believe such a young man, but he didn't mean to remind him, he just quietly took off a ring, and didn't know what he was going to do.

The leader saw that this guy had actually taken the bait, and smiled disdainfully in his heart, but his face looked extremely sincere. "In that case, I have no reason to refuse, so put down your swords and leave. ”

Those guards are not stupid, of course, they can't lose the only thing that can protect themselves at this time, but if Sammer speaks, they can only find it, after all, they can't disobey their master.

Sammer hesitated again and again, he also understood that these people who killed people without blinking an eye had a great chance of repentance, but if they resisted to the end, they still couldn't escape the fate of death, and if they listened to their words, there was still a glimmer of life.

"Why, don't you believe us?" said the leader in a sudden loud voice. The subordinates also cooperated and raised the crossbow in their hands.

Sammer hesitated, and finally, slowly closed his eyes, and ordered, "Put it down." ”

The cunning in the leader's eyes flashed with cunning, and when the guards put down their blades, they shot them all.

At this moment, a voice that should never have appeared at this time reached everyone's ears - it was the sound of the lute!
