Seeing that the boss was angry, the caravan members didn't dare to say anything more, and swallowed two mouthfuls of food as fast as they could, and then packed up their things and set off again.

It's just that there are too many caravans in the caravan, and there are many fragile things, so the speed can't be fast at all.

Looking at the stone forest not far away, Leo knew that it should be a geographical environment similar to the karst landform of the previous life, which was very rare. And he had been riding in a carriage before, and he was a little quiet, so he simply found a horse and rode side by side with Maurice.

Since you can't change it, let's enjoy it, anyway, the previous month was not much better than it is now, and it will not get worse now.

In the past month, the convoy has crossed the western exile at a speed of 50 kilometers a day, passing through several large cities such as Quicksand City and Blood Acropolis, and also resting in the Sinila Oasis and Qingquan Valley, and of course, the small towns and small settlements along the way.

And along the way, although I ate the most authentic stone-roasted yellow sheep and tasted the special black pearl wine, I often slept in the open and camped in the wild, and sometimes I couldn't see people for a few days, which was very hard.

However, Leo noticed that in the face of the more solid journey ahead, the members of the caravan still maintained their full spirits, without any tiredness or sorrow, and even faintly revealed joy.

"Gold coins are still the biggest motivation. Leo muttered secretly, and his heart suddenly became vigilant.

This level of hardship actually made me feel like retreating, and it can be seen that the period of living in Lotas's house had a considerable impact on his mood.

Brocade clothes and jade food, clothes to reach out and eat to open their mouths. Life is served, and all that is enjoyed is the most advanced food and supplies, gradually. I was so used to this kind of life that I was no longer willing to endure difficulties.

"Am I losing motivation?" Leo asked himself, quickly smiling and feeling determined again.

Once you have set a good goal, no matter how difficult it is, you will do your best to complete it, which is what you have always been. How can you be greedy for pleasure.

He clearly knows that his goal is clear, to find Isha, to continue to improve his strength, to find a way to prolong the life of his teacher, and to make people he cares about. are able to have a good life.

And after all this, you may be able to continue to delve into magic, find the mysteries and truths buried in the long river of history, and leave your own traces in this world.

Adjust your mind. Look at the stone forest again. It doesn't feel the same anymore.

The ditches and stone buds are staggered, the sinkholes and shafts are lined up, the peak forests, the peak clusters, the lonely peaks, the natural bridges, and all kinds of strange stone forests show the magnificence of nature. However, in such an environment, it is very difficult for the carriage to move smoothly, and wooden planks are often erected manually. in order to pass smoothly.

After a casual chat with Maurice, the businessman who was very familiar with the place explained: "Although it is very treacherous in the stone forest. But if there is no stone forest, our side will be in danger. ”

Leo was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood, and said, "You mean orcs?"

Morris nodded: "That's right, even the wolf cavalry, which is known for its speed and endurance, will have to pass through here for at least a week to ten days, which is twice as slow as the normal speed." And on several key roads, there are eyeliners of various forces, giving them time to react and respond. Otherwise, the orc wolf cavalry will be able to attack the city of quicksand in three to five days. ”

After finishing speaking, he quickly looked back, and his forcibly suppressed expression revealed a little nervousness.

This behavior made Leo feel very strange.

Morris is a bold and generous person, and in almost every town, he can have acquaintances and have a wide range of contacts.

In the western exile before, the convoy almost encountered no danger along the way, and the horse bandits who came and went like the wind would retreat when they saw the flag of the convoy, and there was even a group of horse bandits, leading in front of the convoy, escorting them for more than 30 kilometers.

So what is it that makes Morris like this?

Leo was about to ask when a wolf howl suddenly sounded in the distance.

Immediately afterward, several wolf howls came to mind, in different directions, one after another.

Morris's expression changed, he took a closer look, and shouted loudly: "Stop, all stop! Circular defensive formation, the car is in front, and the people are behind the car!"

In an instant, the entire convoy was thrown into chaos, and the sound of people shouting was everywhere.

Morris repeated the shout a few more times, and the caravan members, who had only undergone ordinary training, barely regained their composure, and quickly set up a defensive formation under the leadership of several veterans.

"Damn, Nick got off your damn horse and brought the horse to the defensive circle!"

"Tularsen, are you a pig? Do you want to die here? Put your damn helmet on!"

"Fool, I've never seen you as stupid! Cover it with a fireproof cloth! Don't show a shit of wood! Or you'll wait to be burned!"

Seeing that the defensive formation was gradually forming, Morris was a little relieved, and finally had a chance to tell Leo what was going on.

"On the edge of the Stone Forest and the place of exile, there is a gang of horse bandits called Wolf Claws, who do not obey any organization or force

The members were all the most cunning and vicious men, murderers, robbers, villains, and blood debts on their hands. It is said that there is another person who likes to eat the unformed fetus in the womb of a pregnant woman. Disgusted, Maurice looked around trying to find the enemy, but found nothing.

The cunning bandits didn't know what to hide behind that stone forest, ready to attack.

"The fetus in the womb of a pregnant woman?" Leo frowned, such an act has gone beyond the scope of inhumanity, and is completely the act of demons and devils!

"Yes, it is said that before that man became a horse bandit, he killed twelve pregnant women in a row, and then narrowly escaped the pursuit and joined the wolf's paw. Miles sighed and continued: "I got the information that Wolfpaw is heading north, so I chose this path during this time, and it seems that they will either return early. Either it's deliberately spread fake news. ”

Leo expressed understanding, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "How many of them are there?"

"No more than fifteen people. Morris replied.

Leo nodded noncommittally. Continue to ask, "What about rank and class?"

"The leader seems to be senior, and the others are mostly intermediate and junior, and the occupation is not very clear. Morris thought Leo was worried, and smiled: "Don't worry, although we don't want to fight the horse bandits, we are not afraid. We fought hard with the bandits before, and we survived every time. And to the Wolf Claw, such a small team of horse bandits. I definitely don't want to suffer any casualties, as long as I can let them know that it hurts, I should retreat soon. Mr. You're my guest, so please take a short seat in the middle of the formation. ”

Leo didn't say anything more and accepted the other party's suggestion, something like this. Even if you have a special idea. It's better to observe it first.

Seeing that Leo agreed to hide, Morris also breathed a sigh of relief, and he also hoped that Leo could come up with some more study materials for his son, in case he was injured or died here, it would be a great regret and tragedy.

And he always believed that although Leo was good and had the ability to join the Thunder family's team to go to Death Canyon, he had been able to successfully restrain several of his subordinates before. It was only because there was no murderous intent on his side at that time that he was successfully attacked.

As for who killed the corpse witch in the end. Morris didn't know, and he didn't associate it with Leo at all.

Looking around, there was still no sign of the wolf's claws.

Of course, Morris will not be in a hurry, the longer those demons delay, the better, his own side can be arranged calmly, maybe he can wait until other caravans, with his reputation and credit, he can definitely gain trust and jointly resist the horse bandits.

At this time, several figures suddenly appeared in the distance, and the shadows were too large to see clearly.

But Morris could guess that it was the Wolfpaw's men, and it looked like they were ready to attack.

As the leader, he calmly drew his saber and said in a low and calm voice: "My boys! My old fellows! There are a few wolf cubs who want to snatch my things and cut off our heads!"

Such a question immediately made the caravan members clamoring.

"Disagree!"

"Disagree!"

"Absolutely disagree with I"

Morris nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Then how are we going to respond to them?"

Under the excitement of the crowd, all kinds of swear words spewed out.

"Fuck it!"

"Kill them!"

"If you dare to beat our idea, we must make them regret it forever!

Morris did not interrupt his men, but waited patiently for the atmosphere to become more and more intense.

These people are just ordinary caravan guys in normal times, and there are also several full-time bodyguards who have retired from the army, with an average level of about 3, and they are said to have killed people. But their professions are all ordinary military soldiers with the fastest promotion and the most mediocre strength, and the caravan has been smooth sailing for so many years, and it has been a long time since they have really moved with others.

So, Morris had to let them be agitated. Humans are very interesting creatures, infected by the intense atmosphere, even a coward, driven by the current, can still become a murderous demon in a short time.

Based on Morris's experience over the years, the more fearless he is, the more likely he is to live. Even if it is a huge beast, once the fear in the heart is discovered by the wolves, then it can only wait for the ending of being slowly torn apart. The correct response is to behave more ferociously than the wolves, and overwhelm them in momentum in order to gain vitality.

But in fact, with the various rumors of Wolf Claw, Morris is not too afraid, they are good at raiding, and they are not good at attacking fortifications.

His own caravan was at least three times larger than the opponent's, well-armed, and held on to the defense of the carriage, and it would certainly not be defeated.

And after walking the trade route for so many years, of course, what he can rely on is not only connections and relationships, but also more important things, but he definitely doesn't want to use it unless he has to.

As for the fact that the lion fights the rabbit and has to do his best, for the old and spicy Morris, it is like eating and drinking, so he still made the best preparations in all aspects. As for whether there will be casualties, then we can only resign ourselves to fate, and everyone will ask for their own blessings.

You must know that the pension of a member of an official caravan is fifty gold coins, and if a few more die, then the year's income will be greatly reduced, and if a few more are injured, then medicine will be an additional big expense.

That's what bothers him the most.

Seeing that the fire was almost over, and the figure had also narrowed to a distance of 100 meters, Morris raised his long knife high: "Brothers, take up arms! Prepare for battle!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The shouts of killing were everywhere, soaring into the sky, majestic, and full of a sense of killing.

A little smile appeared on Morris's face, these three shouts of killing were not ordinary shouts of killing, but he deliberately let a bodyguard who served as an officer in the army train everyone for a long time.

Sure enough, the footsteps of several people a hundred meters away began to hesitate, and after a few seconds, the figure suddenly disappeared behind the stone forest.

"Retreated?" said Morris, a little strangely.

No matter how bad the wolf's claws are, they have some reputation, and they have successfully looted a lot of convoys, so they shouldn't be directly scared off by the shouts of killing.

Seeing this, the people in the convoy cheered.

"Boss, they're scared!" said one of his men.

Morris hummed noncommittally, but his brow furrowed.

Horse bandits who dare to roam the border will be so easily frightened away? He didn't believe it.

Ten minutes later, there was still no sign of the bandits, but it was getting darker and darker, indicating that a storm was likely to be coming.

Morris couldn't bear it, turned around and locked on to one of his subordinates, and ordered: "Summit, you kid run fast, go to the front and see what the situation is!"

"Boss......" The man shrank back, obviously not wanting to do such a dangerous thing.

Without waiting for Morris to scold, the figure in front of him suddenly reappeared.

"It's finally here!" Morris immediately clenched his hand holding the knife, and the men next to him quickly clamoured.

But he couldn't imagine that as soon as the voice came up, the figure on the other side disappeared again.

"What are they doing?" Morris suddenly had the feeling that he was slapping on the cotton with all his strength.

At the moment, it is not to go, nor is it to stay, and it is completely in a very passive situation.

"One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion. Leo's voice sounded from behind.

"What do you mean?" Morris looked back, he knew what each word of the other party's words meant, but when they were connected, he didn't understand it at all, but it sounded very powerful. (To be continued......)
