A hurried assembly call sounded, Liu Yu woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes and looked at the sky outside the window, it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning, and he slept for more than five hours. Liu Yu hurriedly got up and washed up and walked out of his room. Outside, the students also ran out quickly and lined up in a neat line in the shortest possible time.

After eating, carrying enough dry food and drinking water, and equipping the armor and weapons that had been repaired by craftsmen, Liu Yu took his team to embark on another journey.

After a bit of rest, the speed of the team's progress has significantly accelerated. According to the pre-deployment, Zhou Sheng led the reconnaissance team to scatter to check, while Zhang Tianqi took his two teams to open the way in front. Fighting on the march should not be taken lightly under any circumstances, as the previous examples have clearly demonstrated. So now Zhang Tianqi didn't dare to be careless, and while advancing cautiously and quickly, he reported the situation along the way to Liu Yu in time.

Zhou Sheng's reconnaissance team was scattered within five kilometers to the left and right of the main force to ensure the safety of both sides of the team. Originally, it should be safe to march inside the empire, but they don't think that way now, and who knows what tricks the military department will play to hinder their advance?

Now Liu Yu is discovering more and more the important surname of satellite phones. With it, you can get in touch with Zhang Tianqi and Zhou Sheng at the first time and share their information. It's much, much faster than sending messages back and forth through soldiers!

When this mission is over, be sure to make more of it. With it, the troops no longer have to rack their brains to communicate with each other, whether they are fighting in the field or defending in the fortress.

On the way to the march, Liu Yu had already told several of the main cadres in his team about the agreement between General Tie and himself. They are full of confidence in winning the championship, and they are also very envious of the equipment Liu Yu is wearing now.

The equipment that General Tie gave to Liu Yu included a set of heavy armor, a heavy sword, and a tower shield. The armor and tower shield are all made of dark iron, which has high physical and magical defense. The heavy sword is doped with a large amount of Mithril and Adamantine Gold in the dark iron, and the physical attack power is increased by one hundred percent, although there is no magic attack power, but it is enough for Liu Yu.

Just when everyone was commenting on this set of equipment, and Zhang Bo began to make a lot of nonsense again, Liu Yu received an urgent call from Zhang Tianqi!

"Big brother, a hundred meters ahead, there is a group of unidentified armed men, they are about hundreds of people, and they have blocked the way forward, what should I do now?" Zhang Tianqi's hurried voice came from the satellite phone.

"You monitor their movements there, and we'll be there in ten minutes to pick you up. You don't have contact with them until we arrive, so as not to be outnumbered. If they try to approach you, be improvised and be ready to retreat at any time and not be surrounded by them. Liu Yu quickly explained to Zhang Tianqi, and then ordered the team to speed up and prepare for battle. At the same time, he also got in touch with Zhou Sheng, and asked him to carry out a detailed search of the vicinity to avoid the other party ambushing in the shadows and posing a threat to them.

Ten minutes passed in a flash, and Zhang Tianqi could already be seen standing in the middle of the road with the two teams he led, with his back to the direction that Liu Yu had come. On the opposite side of them, there was a crowd of people, and the black pressure had blocked the road tightly.

It seemed that the conflict had not yet broken out, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and led the team to meet it immediately.

"What's going on? Who are these people? What are they going to do in the middle of the road?" Coming to Zhang Tianqi's side, Liu Yu asked three questions in one breath.

"No, I didn't make contact with them as you told me, and they didn't try to get close to us. From the beginning to the present, it has been a stalemate, and I don't know what their purpose is. Zhang Tianqi shook his head and told Liu Yu about the current situation.

Liu Yu carefully looked at the group of people opposite, and the doubts in his heart deepened.

Judging by their clothing and equipment, it is definitely not a regular imperial [***] team, nor can it be a city defense army. There is no uniform standard for the variety of dresses, armor on their bodies, and weapons in their hands. There seemed to be three men in the lead, standing at the front of the group.

The three of them seemed to be arguing about something there, glancing at Liu Yu from time to time. They did not show panic about the sudden addition of so many people, but argued more fiercely. The others stood behind the three men, and no one made a single noise, and no one walked around.

Seeing how disciplined they were, even the most elite troops of the empire were no more than that. What kind of armed organization do they belong to? Not to mention Liu Yu, even the well-informed Wang Tong can't say why.

"It can't be a group of thieves, right?" said Zhang Bo, who was standing beside Liu Yu, with some hesitation.

"What kind of organization is that?" asked Liu Yu puzzled.

"The thieves are an illegal paramilitary force. They were well-organized and disciplined, and specialized in robbing and oppressing the nobles and the unkind merchants who were rich and unkind. Take their belongings and give to the needy people in need. Zhang Bo explained, "In our empire, only Boban Province has a bandit of thieves. My grandfather was the military chief of Boban Province, and one of his jobs was to wipe out the thieves, and I also learned something about the thieves from him. ”

"According to what you said, what the thieves have done is righteous, why does the empire want to exterminate them?" asked Bian Yue suspiciously.

No matter how just and in the interests of the Empire they are, they are not the Empire's law enforcement agencies after all. If they were allowed to do so, what would the Imperial city guards and consuls do? Moreover, the nobility and wealthy merchants belonged to the ruling class of the Empire, and the royal family was the largest aristocracy. By doing so, they have seriously violated the interests of the rulers, and it would be strange if the empire did not suppress them. Zhang Bo was also a nobleman, but he said such a thing, which made those civilian students feel a little strange.

"I see. Bian Yue somewhat understood what Zhang Bo meant, "But how can you say that? Aren't you also a nobleman?"

"Can the nobles do whatever they want and oppress the commoners?" Zhang Bo said with some anger, "It is these black sheep who have ruined the reputation of the nobles and deepened the contradictions between the commoners and the nobles. If this continues, one day, the empire will fall into their hands. ”

After listening to Zhang Bo's words, both aristocratic students and commoner students fell into deep thought.

The three people seemed to have been negotiated, and one of them walked over to Liu Yu and them.

"I am Hu Fei, the leader of the Blood Skull Thieves, and I have come to discuss something with you, and I invite those of you who can call the shots to come out and talk to me. The man who claimed to be the head of Hu Fei came to a place two meters away from Liu Yu and greeted.

"I'm the head, what do you have to tell me. Liu Yu came out of the crowd and came to Hu Fei.

"Little brother is refreshing enough, then I'll just say it. Hu Fei stretched out his thumb, "As long as you leave all your equipment, I promise not to touch a single hair of you." ”

"So you're going to rob you?" Liu Yu said with a calm expression.

"Little brother, don't say it so ugly, how can it be robbery?" Hu Fei waved his hand, "We just make the best use of everything, anyway, these things will not be used in your hands to resist the attack of the beasts, that is, they are used to oppress the civilians, it is better to lend them to us, and they can also benefit the civilians." ”

"Why do you say that we won't resist the orc army?" Liu Yu asked coldly.

"The Orcs are in the east, who are you going to resist in the west, do you want to cross the Malaya Mountains into the territory of the Orcs and attack them from behind?" Hu Fei laughed and said, "You are not just like us, but you are officials and we are thieves." ”

"Hahahaha......" A mocking laugh erupted from within the Blood Skull Thieves.

Smiling and smiling, Hu Fei felt that something was wrong. The other party was not angry because of their laughter, but just looked at them coldly. That cold look made him feel a chill from the bottom of his heart for the first time, which had never happened before. The Emperor [***] team who came to clear them were either afraid of them like lions or disdainful of them, and there had never been a person like this who could always keep his cool all the time.

Coughing dryly, Hu Fei said unnaturally, "Have you thought about it?"

"Have you ever killed someone?" Liu Yu did not answer Hu Fei's words, but asked a question that made him a little confused.

"Murder? This is an interesting question, how can there be any reason that the thieves have never killed anyone. Hu Fei's face became a little hideous, "Don't talk this nonsense anymore, Lao Tzu's patience is limited, if you don't leave the equipment, leave your lives behind." ”

Liu Yu nodded: "I understand, do you choose to be arrested, or do you choose to let us do it?"

"What did you say?" As if hearing the funniest joke in the world, Hu Fei couldn't help but laugh, "Little brother is really humorous! You have such a big mouth, aren't you afraid of ruining the lives of your brothers here in vain?"

"You don't have to worry about it. Liu Yu snorted coldly, "Hurry up and go back and wash your neck, don't stain the sword in my hand." ”

"Since you are obsessed, you can't complain about my cruelty. Hu Fei quickly retreated to his side, "It's useless to talk more, let's see the real chapter under our hands!"

Liu Yu slowly drew his heavy sword and pointed into the air: "Rush with me! Destroy them and eliminate harm for the people!" )
