Porto spoke eloquently, which made a lot of sense, making Ryan and Katisha on the side nod frequently.

"By the way, the Hahu tribe is so poor, they should not be very good at receiving the banquet of the Marquis of Kachia. Fortunately, you did not go, Mr. Boto, otherwise you would have been disappointed. Those who went to the banquet may be regretting it at the moment? Katisha, who had been listening, suddenly said to Portu, who was now very familiar with Portu, so she spoke more casually.

"Haha! The poor herdsmen of the tribe do not mean that their leader is poor, and in general, the leader of the tribe is the richest person in the tribe. And with such a large tribe, there is no problem in coming out with some good things to entertain guests. Moreover, the Marquis of Kachia represents the Otto Empire, and if he eats other people's food, he naturally wants to give some gifts to the Hahu tribe. With the generous character of the Marquis of Kachia, the Hahu tribe will definitely make a lot of money. Porto laughed and explained when he heard Katisha's simple words.

Ryan also laughed, and suddenly Katisha was a little embarrassed, she was not good at Potto, so she had to blush and slap Ryan's shoulder to relieve the embarrassment.

"Your Excellency Botu, this bandit team is very strong, do you think they will fight our idea?" Ryan asked suddenly.

Potu's face straightened, and he fell into deep thought, and only after a moment did he say, "Probably not." I just heard that this bandit has been around for more than ten years, so they must be very cautious, otherwise they would have been wiped out long ago, and it would not have existed for so long. Our emissaries are outnumbered and much stronger than them. If they dare to come and rob us, then their end is not far off. ”

Porto's words were full of great confidence, and it was true, the messenger was not an ordinary caravan, it was about the face of the Ottoli Empire, if it was robbed by a bandit team on the way out. Then the Odoley Empire will be ridiculed by the rest of the continent, and it will no longer have the face to claim to be one of the two major empires on the mainland.

Ryan nodded, no longer taking the question to heart. He remembered the incomparably powerful guard force in the messenger team, especially the two level 7 magicians and fifty intermediate and above magicians, not to mention the bandit team of only more than five hundred people. Even if it is ten times more, the bandit team of 5,000 people will all be wiped out in the face of powerful magic. You must know that in the case of a one-on-one duel between a magician, the power may not be strong, but if you use your magic under the protection of a swordsman, the lethality will be extremely terrifying.

Next, the three of them talked as they walked. Soon the entire Hahu tribe walked around. In fact, there is no place to visit in the tribe, all the tents of each family, and the cattle, sheep and beasts raised in captivity, and the only place to visit is the trading market in the tribe.

The trade in the Far North steppes is relatively primitive. Bartering is usually done and gold coins are rarely used. Usually, there are no people in the trading market, and the people in the tribe know the roots, and if they want to exchange something, they can just go directly to someone. There is no need to go to the trading market. The main purpose of the bazaar was that when the caravans came, the herdsmen traded with the caravans.

When Ryan and the others came to the trading market, they saw that more than half of the people of the entire tribe were gathered there, but not all of them had something to trade, and many people just came to see the excitement.

The three of Ryan also mainly watch the excitement, and only when they encounter really good things will they buy them.

Half a day later, Porto returned empty-handed, and Ryan and Katisha had their own gains. Katisha fell in love with a piece of snow-white fox fur, while Ryan fell in love with a piece of cold iron unique to the Arctic grasslands, and after the trade, he could find a skilled blacksmith to process it into a suitable weapon. Ryan and Katisha didn't carry any goods that could be traded, and the other party didn't want gold coins, so Rui An's mind finally took out a bottle of wound medicine, which turned out to be very popular with the herdsmen, and easily replaced these two things.

Afterwards, the three of them were so excited that they did not stay longer and went back to the camp to rest.

After the Marquis of Kachia returned from the Hahu tribe, he immediately ordered the entire camp to strengthen the vigilance in case of accidents. Obviously, the Marquis of Kachia heard the news of the bandit team among the Hahu tribe and did not dare to slack off.

Unexpectedly, this night was calm and nothing happened.

The next day, the envoys did not hurry, but continued to rest for the day, and in the evening, because nothing had happened the night before, the atmosphere in the camp was not so tense, and the guards were relatively relaxed.

Indeed, along the way, due to the large number of envoys and the deterrence of those with bad intentions, the envoys have not encountered robbers and robbers. There were only a few battles, and they only killed some eyeless monsters, so the messengers didn't take the robbers seriously.

However, something went wrong that night.

By midnight, Katisha was asleep, while Ryan was doing magical meditation on the other side of the tent. Along the way, Ryan did not relax his cultivation, considering that it would take a while to change his fighting qi and magic power, Ryan would only change to another cultivation after ten days of each cultivation.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance, faint at first, but soon very clear in the silence of the night.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, the whole battalion is on alert...... A level 6 swordsman guarding the camp immediately shouted loudly to warn, and the sound of the amplitude was extremely loud with a fighting spirit, which immediately woke up all the people who were asleep.

Katisha soon woke up and asked Ryan, who had stopped magic meditation beside her, "Ryan, what happened?" ”

Ryan's face was solemn, and then he said, "I don't know, someone should have attacked our camp." You get ready for battle, I'll go out and have a look first. ”

After saying that, Ryan quickly took out the magic staff, long sword, crossbow and other equipment from the magic storage bag, and now Ryan happened to be practicing magic, so he could only use magic to deal with the enemy, as for the long sword and crossbow, it was just a backup for preparedness. Then, Ryan got out of the tent.

There was a commotion in the camp, and many people ran out of their tents after hearing the warning. The swordsmen moved the fastest, except for the more than 100 swordsmen who kept vigil in shifts, the remaining more than 200 swordsmen who were resting, rushed to the camp as soon as possible, guarded in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came, and lined up to defend.

This time, the more than 300 swordsmen guarding the messenger team are the elite of the army, not only have combat effectiveness far beyond ordinary swordsmen, but also have strict discipline and superhuman team combat awareness. From hearing the sound of horses' hooves to forming a formation to defend itself, it only took a little more than 20 breaths to know this.

The caravan members in the camp were a little more flustered. The combat-ready personnel, hastily gathered in the camp, where the caravan wagons were parked, hid from harm. And those swordsmen who had combat effectiveness took long swords and stood guard by the caravan's goods. According to the agreement of the envoys before their departure, when there is a foreign enemy, the caravan people do not need to join the battle, but only need to guard their own goods, and all battles are fought by imperial swordsmen and magicians.

The sound of horses' hooves in the distance was getting closer and closer, and soon they came to a distance of two or three hundred meters, and from the sound of horses' hooves, it could be estimated that there were at least three or four hundred horses attacking, that is to say, there were three or four hundred enemies attacking.

At this time, the fifty magicians in the camp also came out one after another, and their movements were slower than the agile swordsmen. Then, all the magicians lined up, standing behind the two level 7 magicians and the two level 7 swordsmen, forming a second line of defense, standing behind the formation listed by the swordsman in front.

Ryan looked around for a moment, then stood quietly next to the fifty magicians. Katisha also came out of the tent, already wearing her armor and sword in hand, and then stood beside Ryan.

Marquis Kachia walked out of the camp at the back, and the magicians got out of the way, allowing Marquis Kachia to walk in front of the two level 7 magicians and the two level 7 swordsmen. Seeing that the face of the Marquis of Kachia was very ugly, and his eyes were full of anger, he asked softly, "Who are these?" Such a bold man dared to attack our idea. ”

Marquis Kachia's tone was very light, but there was an incomparably strong murderous intent in it.

The sound of horses' hooves slowed down in the distance, and seemed to be slowly approaching, seemingly less than a hundred meters from the camp. Obviously, the people who came knew that the camp was already prepared, and they could no longer be taken by surprise, so they were not in a hurry to approach. In the darkness, they could clearly see through the light of the camp's fires that the camp was ready for battle. And the people in the camp, looking from the light to the darkness, could only faintly see horses and human figures.

"It's simple, Your Excellency Marquis, let's see who these are." The level 7 mage on the side, Dai Mo, responded very easily, and then saw that his body rose without wind, and he floated all of a sudden, and in the blink of an eye, he rose to a height of seven or eight meters in the air.

Once a magician is promoted to the level of a level 7 magician, no matter which type of magician it is, he can master the method of taking off and staying in mid-air. Of course, the wind magician is blessed, as long as he reaches the level of a high-level magician, he can master the wind magician's unique wind flying technique, and he can achieve the air in advance that other high-level magicians can't do, and when he reaches level 7 wind magician, he can master the flying technique, which is one step faster than some level 7 magicians who can only master the method of taking off. As for the swordsman, the level 7 swordsman can't take off, at most he can use his fighting spirit to jump higher, and only when he is promoted to the level 8 great swordsman can he do the technique of taking off like the wind soaring technique.

Dai Mo chanted a spell in his mouth, and after only two breaths, a ball of light several meters in size appeared out of thin air above the magic staff in his right hand. Dai Mo put the magic staff in his hand, and then the ball of light rose, staying more than twenty meters above the ground, emitting a thousand feet of light. With the light sphere as the center, the area within a radius of 500 meters shines as if it were daytime.

Dai Mo is a level 7 fire magician, and he casts illumination magic, which is more than ten times more powerful than the illumination magic cast by high-level magicians. (To be continued.) )
