Traveling Far Away
Evan wandered around Abel City for three days, took the fat dog to eat all kinds of delicacies, and bought two roasted beef shanks to eat on the road. In order not to expose the spatial ring, Ivan put on a modified dwarf heavy armor, with a long knife hanging behind his back, holding a large baggage.
Followed by the fat dog, it also has two small burdens on its body, the fat dog's legs are too short, the burden can only be used in the small one, what is in the baggage, do you still need to ask! Refreshments, snacks, food.
"Bang Bang" heavy steel boots hit the ground and passed all the way to the Thorn Flower Firm.
The convoy was ready to go, the convoy was a bit large, more than thirty carriages, just a passenger carriage with doors and windows, and the rest were all wagons, with thorn flower flags. Thirty or forty coachmen, more than two hundred guards, warriors, mages, archers, and a priest, all wearing the emblem of the Thorn Flower.
As for Evan, an outsider, he was a little confused, thinking that there were a lot of mercenaries!
Old Rhodes was the leader, his carriage was in the middle, and the branch president told him to win over Evan well, he was a great samurai at such a young age, not something that ordinary nobles could cultivate.
Old Rhodes wanted to invite Evan to ride in the carriage together, but when he saw the heavy armor, big bags and small bags, the low door was too inconvenient to enter and exit, so it was better to avoid it!
Evan sat in the first chariot with a high-ranking samurai, and the long line of nearly three hundred people set off. The team left Abel and headed west.
At noon, the convoy did not stop, and everyone ate dry food. The fat dog ate the snack on his back, a little dissatisfied and whined.
"Dead dog, bones for dinner, mostly dry food, two bones for dinner."
As soon as Evan finished speaking, the fat dog flicked its short tail.
Through chatting with the warriors next to him, Evan knew that Thorn Flower had signed a contract with them, three hundred gold coins per year for the high-level, two hundred for the middle-level, and the mage priest was higher. All the harvest on the way to the escort belonged to them, and this time the goods were more expensive, and he was a little worried, because none of the people who would act on the thorn flower merchant were weak.
For a few days, there was nothing to do, the front entered the Longmen Grand Canyon, the beginning was the valley, the back was straight and smooth canyon, stretching for hundreds of miles, and you could see the Red Leaf City when you walked out of the Longmen Grand Canyon.
The canyon is safe, the rock walls are straight and smooth, the ground is flat, and even the weeds are so scarce that there is no way to hide.
The danger is the valley, which is lined with shrubs on both sides. The high-ranking samurai on Ivan's side were already on their horses, giving the order to increase vigilance in advance.
The convoy slowly moved forward, the wind was blowing slowly, and the fat dog who was squinting suddenly got up, his little triangular ears pricked up, and his nose sniffed, catching the smell in the air.
"Whew", the fat dog prompted Evan, there is a problem ahead.
"Dead dog, is it a human or a monster."
The fat dog means that there are both people and food, and there are quite a few, and it is very sure, and the tail is wagging.
"The convoy is gathered, there is an ambush ahead, ready to fight." Regardless of whether they listen or not, Ivan will give a warning first.
The wagons were gathered, the warriors were in front, the mages and priests were behind, and the archers climbed on top of the carriages and began to defend.
Ivan put down his armor, jumped out of the carriage, drew his long knife, and walked forward, the fat dog following behind. "Whew," the stubby and powerful claws pointed to the front right.
"Come out of the ambush, I see you." Evan exclaimed, but there was no response.
Ivan took out a ball-shaped thing from the hard leather pocket on his waist and threw it at the position pointed by the fat dog, and the goblin flame bomb exploded ten meters in a radius of ten meters after it landed, and a sea of fire. Three people covered in fire suddenly rushed out of the fire, screaming and slapping the fire on their bodies, and the magic flames did not move at all, blazing.
"Everyone come out, otherwise the master will throw dozens of them over." Ivan began to reach into his pockets, a gesture that was too threatening.
"Slow". One by one, they came out of the bushes, all masked with weapons, and there was actually a mage. There were about 300 people in total.
"You don't look like robbers, you don't look like you at all. Robbers are faceless and will not be masked. Whoever comes first, the young master will educate and educate his parents on his behalf. With that, Ivan waved his knife in a circle.
If the ambush and sneak attack fail, it has already lost for a while, and if it is hard, it is difficult to say whether it will win or lose. The caravan had carriages for cover, and there were quite a few archers. If you can't kill them with one blow, it's troublesome to expose their identity.
"Withdraw", the other side retreated, and the horses in the dense forest were led out.
"Wait, you haven't paid my money yet! The fireworks just now benefited two hundred gold coins. ”
The thief turned around and saw Evan with his long knife behind his back, holding a ball in each hand. Now that people are gathered together, if at least thirty or forty people are hit and burned to death, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape without giving gold coins.
"You have to be able to beat me!" With that, the masked leader threw a money bag on the ground in the middle of the two. Losing people does not lose the battle, he burst out and took a few steps forward.
"You'll regret it!" Evan walked out, and the fat dog rushed over, biting the money bag and running, and no one on either side reacted.
Ivan lunged down, sideways as he approached, shoulders aimed at the enemy. The same is true for the other party, and the combat skills are savagely charged.
"Bang", the two collided, and the shock wave spread out like a wall, Ivan froze, and the other flew out, spitting blood in the air. This person's strength is okay, he only flies out for more than ten meters, and he can stand up on his own, but his armor is deformed.
"Healing potion, two hundred gold coins."
"You're a robbery!" After saying that, he spat blood again. Several people carried him on his horse and left, and a group of people followed.
"You can bargain!" Ivan shouted into the distance.
Evan turned around and returned to the convoy, and the fat dog gave the money bag as a treasure, took the money bag and patted the fat dog's head.
"Dead dog, I earned two hundred gold coins, half a cow leg for dinner, I eat meat, you bones, let's divide it." The fat dog's tail on one side wagged as if it had a motor.
The convoy departed, and the guards became very respectful of Ivan because he shot and no one was hurt. The opponent's fighters are very strong, and Ivan just collides, and he loses his combat effectiveness.
Evan guessed that the group was from or near Momiji Castle. One. They know the delivery route and time, the number of people. Second, the direction they retreated in was Red Leaf City. It seems that he is going to secretly change the heavy armor in Red Leaf City, and he doesn't want to be targeted.
"Dead dog, these three weapons are not easy to deal with!"
Looking at the big sword that burned the three people to death, Evan had a little headache, it was a pity to throw it away, why did it cost dozens of gold coins.
The soldier on the side told him that the Thorn Flower Firm had purchased it, and that there were professionals who would inspect the weapons and investigate the source of the weapons. Will be purchased at a very generous price. Sure enough, at dinner, old Rhodes bought three weapons for one hundred and fifty gold coins.
Old Rod also privately asked about the flame bomb that burned a large piece when it was thrown out, and Evan said that he gave it to his elders, and he didn't know how the elders got it, but he only knew that the materials needed to use high-grade materials such as flame flowers. Although Evan himself can do it, now is not the time to be exposed, he is still too weak. According to the old guy's teaching, you must always keep your hole cards so that others can't figure it out.
