Chapter 298: The Skaudians (Part II)

Ani glared at Saleen viciously. His family was born in business, mixed with the status of nobility, and for thieves, Ani hated from the bottom of his heart.

"Just kidding, hey, I'm looking at this caravan, it's not like Qin Yin's. ”

Aini's eyes weren't as good as Salin's, but the caravan was getting closer, and he could already see the caravan guard at the front.

"It's a Scochenya mercenary?

"What's so strange?" Salin was strange, the Scochenian mercenaries could pass through the four empires, and the large mercenary groups generally had small mercenary groups that were attached, and in foreign countries, such small mercenary groups were active. These small mercenary groups can deal with thieves, but it is still a little difficult to pose a threat to the armies of other countries.

The other three empires are not afraid of this kind of small mercenary group, the mercenary group can also bring huge taxes to each empire, Qin Yin is now in a state of war, he will buy a large amount of materials, and it is normal for a Skochenian caravan to appear. At least this shows that the Skochenian Empire has not yet turned against Qin Yin for the time being.

"It's an eighth-level mercenary group, and it's the main force. Ani said with some trepidation.

"What the hell are you worried about. Even if it is the main force of the eighth-level mercenary group, it is impossible to make any trouble. ”

"Who said that if they all die in Qin Yin, then there will be trouble with the Scochenian Empire. ”

Salin didn't ask, he immediately understood what Aini meant. The current situation on the mainland, the Skolchenians are very important to Qin Yin, and if the Skotchenya and Tangulas unite, there will immediately be a huge hole in the northwest front of the empire.

In Skocina, all the mercenary groups that own the city are mercenary groups above level seven, that is, mercenary groups above level seven are equivalent to half of the regular army in Skocina.

"You're a little too sensitive......" Salin comforted Aini.

"I hope so, it's better to ...... We are going with these mercenaries, they must be going to Holy Rock City, such a large convoy, the amount of supplies is amazing. ”

"It's too slow. Salin frowned.

"Don't be afraid of slowness, it's good to go with the caravan. We can make it to Holy Rock City before the New Year. And on New Year's Day, it's safest for you to go to Holy Rock City. Even if it's ......"

"Good. "Saleen didn't want to argue with Aini, and he was a little worried about going to Holy Rock City. His Metatrin City was outside the jurisdiction of Holy Rock City, and he didn't have a plausible identity. It's okay if it's Rex's subordinate, but the problem is that he and Rex are in a cooperative relationship, which is equivalent to establishing a country outside of Qin Yin.

Even if he is still a small city lord now, it is a trouble to enter the Qin Yin Imperial Capital without permission.

It's good to go with such a large caravan and hide your tracks. And recently, his Eye of Thunder and Lightning has to be consolidated, and if this skill can be advanced, his badge can be regarded as a killer feature. Temporarily paralyze enemies with the Eye of Lightning, then the Emblem unleashes lightning. Even if it is a ninth-level powerhouse, he will be hit.

It was time to take time to cultivate, and Salin comforted himself in his heart. He also didn't want a conflict between Skocchenya and Qin Yin at this time. Aini's fears may not be unreasonable, as a necromancer, his foreknowledge of danger is stronger than that of an elemental mage.

The high ground chosen by Salin and the others is a good camping spot, high underground, and a sentry is also set up, and inside the sentry are five skeleton soldiers. Outside the sentry post, there is a magic alarm device, and ordinary thieves can be spotted as soon as they get close.

There are also large open areas in the high ground that are suitable for camping. There are still more than two hundred miles away from the city below, and it is getting late at this time, and the caravan will definitely not take advantage of the night to hurry, even if there are no thieves here, some magical beasts will appear. No matter how low-level the monster is, it can also pose a threat to the guys in the car dealership.

Sure enough, when the caravan approached, more than twenty people rode fast horses and hurried in the direction of the spring.

Sarin's camp was high and secluded, and the knights in the distance did not notice it. Aini beckoned a pro-soldier. After a few words, the soldier pulled the skeletal horse and ran down from the high ground. He did not hide his tracks, and the twenty-odd knights immediately spotted him, and nervously turned their horses' heads to form a triangular formation.

Although they were an eighth-level mercenary group, they had never left Skocenya, and they were not familiar with Qin Yin's interior. Suddenly, a swordsman on a skeletal horse appeared, making these mercenaries a little nervous.

Aini's personal soldiers approached slowly, and did not take weapons, but just greeted from a distance: "I am from the Clyde family, may I ask which merchant group you belong to?"

The Clyde family's business also made a name for itself in Scochenia. The more than twenty mercenaries still did not relax, and the first one said: "We are from the Royal Merchant House." ”

The royal trading houses were not famous in Scochenia, but they were not opened by the emperor, but by some branches of the royal family.

"My master is camping on the mountain, please ask the leader to come over and have a drink. This pro-soldier was quite angry, but the other party still didn't mean to be angry, but just replied: "I will tell the team leader the news, thank you master." ”

The soldier nodded, turned the skeletal warhorse, and slowly ran back to the high ground. The two of them replied to each other in the lingua franca, apparently the other party did not believe this pro-soldier. More than twenty people looked at the distant soldiers from behind, and one of them said, "That's a senior swordsman, right?"

"No, at most an intermediate swordsman, but wearing magic armor. ”

"Magic Armor!"

"Don't be surprised, Qin Yin has hundreds of times more magicians than us, and the price of magic armor is cheaper than ours. ”

"That's great, if only I could mix in a set of magic armor. ”

"Don't talk nonsense. How did I tell you before I came out. I went to check the water source and see if there was any problem, and I went to report back to the team leader. The knight at the head did not look at the water source, but rode back to the caravan.

On the high ground, eighty undead demon wolves crawled far in front of the camp gate, more than forty skeletons stood scatteredly around, alchemy crossbows were erected at the four corners of the camp, and the soldiers lit fires in the camp to keep warm and cook. There were only two soldiers standing guard in front of the barracks, and that was just the rule.

There were three great magicians in the barracks, and there was also a silver sword master, and the two of them were standing guard, and there was really no point in protecting.

On the driveway, the mercenaries skillfully drove the cart down and chose a place to camp. The choice of mercenaries is very professional, close to the water source, but at some distance. Hundreds of mercenaries took water bladders to get water, the coolies in the caravan began to set up tents, a large number of wooden stakes were smashed around the camp, and Saleen even saw many low-level puppets.

With more than 300 carts and 5,000 mercenaries, this is a huge team. Saleen was sure. Although this caravan is large, it has not yet reached the point where it needs five thousand mercenaries to protect it. Even if the caravan had to pass by the side of Garulan, the Tangulas Empire would not attack the Skolchenian caravan as long as it had not declared war on Skolchenia.

Because the internal conditions of the Tangulas Empire were not as good as Qin Yin, the demand for goods was a hundred times greater than that of Qin Yin. Having offended Skocina, the Tangulas Empire had little support from anyone in the short term.

The camp was almost set up, and only a hundred mercenaries were protecting a few people and running towards the high ground, and more than a hundred fast horses were coming in a blink of an eye, and at this time, the sentry under the high ground was also discovered.

The leader of the caravan was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He wore the brocade robes of the Yunliu Empire. The belt around the waist is a belt inlaid with gemstones, but it is not some kind of magical equipment. He carried a long sword at his waist, and he seemed to be in good shape. When the horse galloped, he did not carry the reins or hold the saddle, and his body was straight, but his balance was very good.

Seeing the sentry composed of five skeletons, the leader of the caravan was slightly stunned, there was a necromancer on the other side? It is impossible for a low-level necromancer to let the skeleton move freely for a long time.

He only froze for a second, and then returned to normal, and led people up from the side of the high ground, and saw a small camp head-on. There were dozens of undead demon wolves lying in front of the camp, these undead demon wolves were of a very high level, and when they saw someone approaching, only two undead demon wolves jumped up and made threatening movements.

A soldier walked out and scolded the two undead demon wolves a few times, and the two undead demon wolves lay down and continued to doze.

Seeing the eighty undead demon wolves, the arrogance of the leader of this caravan was gone. In the opponent's camp, there is at least one level 5 undead archmage.

"My master, please come in. The soldier was very respectful, and the leader of the caravan dismounted, and said with a smile: "Please lead the way." ”

The mercenaries behind him and his two retinues also dismounted, and those undead demon wolves stood up in an instant. The soldier laughed, "You have brought too many people with you, and our camp can't fit it." ”

The leader of the caravan ordered ten mercenaries and two retinues. Silently, he followed the soldier into the camp. There were also skeleton soldiers standing in the camp, and dozens of soldiers were cooking.

When I came to the door of the barracks, a young voice came from inside: "Please come in, let the mercenaries go to eat and entertain well." ”

The leader of the caravan had no choice but to wave his hand again, and let the ten mercenaries who followed into the camp go to eat, and the soldiers who brought them in warmly went up to entertain them, and the leader of the caravan could not say anything.

The barracks looked not small from the outside, but after entering, the caravan leader found that the inside was not big, and the barracks actually had a mezzanine. It can effectively resist the attack of heavy weapons.

Originally, the caravan leader was a little dissatisfied with the people of the Clyde family, and it was rude to call someone over like this, but when he saw a few people sitting in front of him, the caravan leader's anger immediately disappeared.

There were three magicians sitting there, two of them wearing gray robes, this is the Great Magician!

"Tracey, give the three guests a seat. Salin began.

"Yes, sir. Tracey took out three small stools and placed a table in front of the three men.

The leader of the caravan was completely stunned, he originally thought that Tracy was a maid, but Tracy took out items out of thin air, this ability is only available to great magicians, and this woman turned out to be a white-robed mage's subordinate.

The leader of the caravan bowed cautiously, then sat down and asked uneasily, "Your Excellency called me over, what are your orders?"
