Chapter Forty-Nine, the second quest item
"Oh, what a coincidence. Master Zhang Yuan, we meet again. Nikolai Laifeng, who was selling goods, saw Zhang Yuan and immediately greeted him cordially.
The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, not to mention that Zhang Yuan and Nikolai have a good relationship.
"Oh, Mr. Nikolai, what a coincidence, you're selling here, too."
Nikolai saw Zhang Yuan coming over, hurriedly greeted him, and pulled Zhang Yuan towards the corner.
"It's a pleasure to see you before leaving, Sir Zhang Yuan."
"Leave? What's wrong? Isn't it nice to be in Paravon? Zhang Yuan pretended to be confused, and asked Nikolai without knowing the truth.
"Yes. I made plenty of money in Parabun, but now Parabun is no longer suitable for me. ”
"Is it because of this?"
"Yes, because of this incident Svadia III noticed me, although I helped him deal with a hidden traitor, but no monarch would allow his territory to rule, any war force that is not under his control, especially merchants like us who can travel around the world."
"That's too inhumane, isn't it? For the sake of his rule, anyone who has helped him will try to expel him as long as he threatens him? ”
"We are weak after all, but this time I would like to thank Svadia III, who, after knowing what had happened, quietly sent a message to the other merchants in Parabun and asked them to give me the most suitable price."
"Oh, that sounds good."
"Yes, and at the same time, I would like to kindly remind you that Svadia III may have noticed you, so you better leave Paravon as soon as possible, or he will send you to the battlefield."
"Okay, I'll get out of here."
"Then I'll give you this last item."
As he spoke, Nikolai led Zhang Yuan towards the carriage where he was selling goods. When he came to the carriage, he pulled out one of the bundles wrapped in linen.
After Zhang Yuan took it, he instantly received a system prompt from Heavenly Court. Obtaining Velvet, the Chosen One now has two Velvets, which will further increase the chance of the Outlaw snatching them.
Zhang Yuan is very happy now, although the unexpected acquisition of velvet has increased the probability of robbery by the outlaws, but these are not a matter for Zhang Yuan, as long as he can solve about thirty without injury, not to mention that he still has cavalry. If there are fewer people, they will give him a head, and if they come more, they can't talk about it.
"So, where are you going? Going to another kingdom to continue doing business? ”
"No, I'm not going to do business anymore, I'm going south of Rhodok to see what it's like, and legend has it that there are new continents behind the Endless Sea."
"Then I wish you all the best."
"Okay, I'll always remember that we were together to defend Parabun, and keep an eye on you. When I'm too old to walk, I'll tell the kids around me your story. I hope you can always be so brave. ”
"Okay, you'll hear good news from me."
"Goodbye, then!"
"Goodbye."
After greeting Nikolai, Zhang Yuan was inexplicably a little disappointed, that is, disappointed with these people in power. Obviously, he is already the supreme emperor of the people, and he can't lead the people to be rich, and after the well-meaning people come forward to solve the problem, he can't always be tolerated. This may be the reason for feudalism. However, Zhang Yuan, who came from later generations, did not plan to go along with the same stream, and he could change as much as he could, although the time was only three years.
At dusk, Zhang Yuan and his entourage, who had been far away from Paravon, began to camp. Looking at the several tents and the outer trap antlers, Zhang Yuan nodded with satisfaction. This is the result of my own teaching on the road. Originally, camping in this world was just about choosing a place to camp. It was easy to be attacked by cavalry, and even without cavalry, it would be difficult for other animals or infantry to sneak in. This phenomenon was not only in the Middle Ages, but even near the 1700s, the original European countries were still camped at will.
Now it's different, Zhang Yuan has a sufficient understanding of such a camp according to the film and television he has been exposed to, especially the Three Kingdoms TV series. It's not that he didn't want to at first, but he never had the chance. There was no task at the moment, just a simple march towards Deherim, with plenty of time on the way. There are also two bundles of velvet that increase Zhang Yuan's chance of being robbed. Compared to the number of robberies brought by the first bundle, these two bundles will be twice as large as the last one.
There is also the fact that Zhang Yuan is training in the manner of a Second Empire, that is, Hindenburg, so that his fourteen soldiers are fourteen captains, and they can all train recruits. With them as the backbone, Zhang Yuan can pull up a team of decent size as quickly as possible.
The night is deep, the moon rises, and the weather is cold.
As soon as the patrolmen patrolling with torches walked past the south side of the camp, just outside the light of the torches, some dark shadows slowly approached Zhang Yuan's camp in the moonlight.
It was a group of robbers in rags, thirty of them. Just after they discovered Zhang Yuan's camp, they wanted to ransack it for some reason, as if something was calling them.
The robbers had never seen such a camp before, and there was a trench dug around it, and there was some kind of wooden structure on the edge of the ditch, and when they were curious, they gradually entered the trap area of the camp.
"Ahh A terrible howl resounded through the night sky, and with this terrible howl, Zhang Yuan's camp began to stir, and it was the soldiers who had been awakened were in armor, ready to fight. After his companions howled, the robbers, who knew that they were exposed, began to rush towards Zhang Yuan's camp in a swarm.
With the onslaught of the robbers, more and more robbers were recruited, these traps were taught to them by Zhang Yuan, they were traps that were proven useful by the battle, and they were all used by Zhang Yuan in the Hokage world.
Several of the robbers wept bitterly when they were pierced through the soles of their feet by wooden thorns that had been trapped in the pit. Several robbers were beaten to the ground with twisted sticks, and their lives were unknown. A few more tripped and fell to the ground covered in wooden thorns. In an instant, there was a heart-warming coolness.
Just when the robbers finally rushed through the trap area, Zhang Yuan's troops were ready. Arrows were fired at the robbers, and in the darkness the arrows were not very conspicuous, and the robbers did not parry, not that they did not hear the sound of the bow and arrows, but that the sound of the arrows was drowned out by the howls of their companions.
Several robbers were shot, and now the robbers finally rushed to the edge of the camp, and they were greeted by the trench about half a meter deep and two meters wide.
The more than ten robbers who survived and were intact jumped directly into the trench, just looking at the half-meter-deep trench was not as simple as they thought. Just as the robbers jumped down, the trench collapsed. There was another wail, and along with the wailing came the sound of several rockets firing.
The rocket fell into the trench, and the gas instantly caught fire, because in the trench were flammable leaves, in addition to the wooden thorns that pierced the robbers.
I don't know how many robbers attacked, but seeing that the robbers they encountered were all wiped out, these dirt buns who had not played tactics were already respectful of Zhang Yuan like a god.
