Chapter 12: Robbery (I)
Mo He, Wren and Sha Anna took a break in the bar after dinner and listened to the chatter of the people around them. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Old wolf head, you've been to Misty City recently. I've heard that there are man-eating monsters there? A man with a big black face at the next table asked the mercenary at the other table in a loud voice.
"What man-eating monster? Don't talk nonsense. It's just an ordinary homicide. The lords have all come out to refute the rumors. The old mercenary with the white beard replied.
"Not necessarily. I heard the mad blind man say that some of them died there. The death was strange, not artificial. After the black-faced man finished speaking, he drank a large glass of ale beer, then picked up the beer barrel and walked to the table of the white-bearded old mercenary, filled it for everyone at the table, and then sat down to continue talking.
The distance was far away, the voice was quiet, and the surroundings were noisy, and Mo He could not continue to hear their conversation clearly. Instead, pay attention to the chatting of others who are closer to you.
"I've been careful when I go out lately. A tall, thin man with a white turban spoke.
"What's wrong?" asked a young mercenary beside him with a look of surprise.
"Recently, there have been wars everywhere, and there has been a lot of chaos. Autumn is here, and it's time for the bandits to go out and grab food. The tall and thin man said.
"Isn't that right? we can take on more escort tasks and make more money. The little mercenary was even more puzzled.
"Do you want money or don't you want to die? There are so many bandits in our place that they are not even afraid of the army, so they are afraid of your little eggs?"
"That's what my predecessors said! It seems that we still don't take the escort work these days. The little mercenary thanked him again and again, and gave the tall and thin man a glass.
After sitting for a while, Mo He felt that there was nothing good to hear, and he planned to find a place to spend the night before it was too early to see.
"Mohe, aren't we going to take a look at the task? If there is a suitable one, we can take it in advance first, so that we can go directly to the task tomorrow. Wren suggested to Mo He.
"Shaanna, you wait for us at the door first. I'm going to see the mission with you Uncle Wren. Mo He touched Sha Anna's little brain and said.
Sha Anna, who was well-fed and well-fed, heard Mo He's words, jumped up from the ground, and happily promised Mo He: "Okay! ”
Carrying the big burden on the ground, Shaanna herself went to the door and squatted outside the door to wait for them. Mo He and Wren went to the quest post wall next to the bar to find a suitable quest.
After looking for a while, I didn't find a suitable task, and there were more escort tasks. Even if he didn't hear the chat of the previous people, Mo He didn't plan to take on the escort mission, they were now so poorly equipped and the number of people was small, and there were mercenaries with children by their side in the middle, it was difficult for an employer to be willing to accept their escort.
In desperation, Mo Mo went out of the mercenary bar with Wren, took Shaanna with him, and began to look for a suitable place to sleep and rest in the town.
After leaving the mercenary bar, Mo He noticed that someone was following him, and Wren also found out. Shaanna was called back, Mo He walked behind, Wren went to the front, and Shaanna protected in the middle.
When I walked to the secluded street, the road ahead was blocked by four people, and there were also three people behind me.
The two stopped, and Shaanna quickly squatted down very skillfully and covered her head with her hands, quietly waiting for these people to approach.
"I'm sorry, I stayed here tonight to discuss something with you. "It seems that the leaders of these people came out to speak, and it was so dark that they all covered their faces and could not see any obvious features. The weapons in his hands were also more chaotic, including long swords, sickles, forks, maces, axes, all of which had their own weapons.
Mo He and Wren guarded against the enemy's sneak attack and did not answer this person's words. This person was not angry, he paced left and right, looking at Mo He and Ren, assessing the current combat effectiveness of the two, and by the way, paying attention to whether there were guards patrolling the surrounding towns.
After making sure that there was no one else, he continued: "All right, put your valuables on the ground gently, and I will keep you out safely." ”
"What?" Mo He was full of question marks, it wasn't that he was scared or angry, he didn't understand how he was targeted, he and Sha Anna didn't look like rich people, the only problem should be Wren, Mo He turned his head to look at Wren and found that Wren was also looking at himself. Mo He immediately understood after seeing Wren's blue armor in the night light, this armor was too dazzling.
A person wearing such a bright armor holds a wooden stick as a weapon in his hand, and then follows himself and Shaanna as a person dressed as this, anyone will think that the armor was picked up by them, and there are three people, one of whom is still a child, how can there be no reason not to recruit bad people.
Wren understood from the moment Mo He stared at his armor that the culprit was himself, he was used to wearing this armor and walking around, forgetting that it was a valuable thing in the eyes of ordinary people. If there were a bunch of warriors around him, he wouldn't dare to come up and rob him for a piece of armor. But now, maybe I look like a deserter, or a scavenger, and I'm lucky enough to pick up a pair of armor and put it on my body, plus I don't have a decent weapon in my hand, so I don't have any deterrent effect at all.
"Mo He, it seems that they are coming at me. You and Shaanna go first. Wren said to Mo He.
"Are you sure?" Mo He didn't move, he looked at Wren and asked.
Wren smiled confidently and said, "Of course, who do you think I am?"
"Okay!Sha Anna! Let's squat in another place!" Mo He touched Sha Anna, who was still squatting with her hands to protect her head, and Sha Anna obediently stood up and prepared to go with Mo He, but was stopped by the leader of the robbers wielding a long sword.
"I'm sorry! Leave everything valuable on your body, and then you can leave. He gently patted the silver iron spear in Mo He's hand a few times with the blade of his sword, signaling that Mo He was valuable and had to stay.
"I can't give you this for now. So we will wait by the side, and you will fight him first, and then I will give it to you. Mo He pointed at Wren and said to the leader of the robbers.
"Oh, do you think I'm a fool?" the robber leader swung his sword as soon as he finished speaking, and the others raised their weapons when they saw the boss move.
Mo He casually opened the long sword with a silver iron gun, bent down and picked up Sha Anna, and with a shoulder of the lower hand, he knocked away the leader of the robbers, and easily broke through from the encirclement.
The two robbers saw that Mo He had escaped and wanted to chase him, but who knew that Mo He did not continue to run after running a few steps, but quickly put down Sha Anna, and then turned around and blocked in front of him with a silver iron spear to meet their attack.
Seeing that Mo He had no intention of escaping, the two robbers went to help the boss who was knocked down by Mo He first, but after the boss got up, one of them slapped him and scolded loudly: "Stupid! ”
The two robbers were wronged, and they raised their weapons and rushed at Mo He, intending to vent their anger on Mo He.
Bang, twice, directly used a gun instead of a stick on each of the hands of the two people, the two people who were injured in the bones of their hands suddenly let go of their weapons in pain, and the two of them fell to the ground and groaned together.
This frightened the leader of the robbers, looked at Mo He, and looked at the brothers who were still surrounding Rennes over there, he decided to ignore the villain, and let Mo He go for the time being. Ignoring the two companions who were still rolling on the ground, he went to participate in the battle to besiege Wren first.
Wren held the middle of the stick in both hands and used it as a sword. There were four people around him, and with the leader of the robbers who ran over, there were five people. The four robbers who had surrounded Wren saw Wren holding the wooden stick and slowly moving sideways, keeping a distance from them, and that calm and unhurried attitude made several of them feel a little afraid in their hearts, and they didn't dare to rush forward and shoot first.
Mo He, who was seven or eight meters away, was standing with a silver iron gun and planning to watch the play, while Sha Anna was already squatting on the ground with her head in her hands when Mo He put it down. The two people on the ground in front of Mo He continued to roll and moan. Seeing that they were rolling too close to himself and the little girl, Mo He used the tail of the gun to move them a little farther away, so that they would not suddenly burst out and hurt Shaanna.
Seeing the four people joined by the boss, they were a little bolder, and they looked at each other for a moment, as if they had determined the plan. The mercenaries with long weapons and forks went around behind Wren, and those with maces and axes flanked Wren, and in front of them were the leader of the robbers with the sword and a robber with a sickle. The enemy has moved into position, and a big battle is about to begin.
