Fertile oasis, forest trails.

A caravan from Sumeru City was carrying supplies unique to the desert and preparing to return to the city, and those of them who were doing business usually brought some supplies from the rainforest to the desert scarce.

When you go back, you can transport some special products from the desert that are not available in the rainforest, so that you don't have to run empty when you return home, and you can make more money if you sell them well.

Passing by an oasis of abundance at this time, the caravan was preparing to replenish its water resources.

Although there is still a lot of water in the caravan, normally it can support the arrival of Kawanyi, come and add it, just to prevent accidents, resulting in insufficient water.

For example, when a monster is robbed, accidentally knocked over or lost, etc.

It's just that they didn't expect that there would be no accident when they walked normally, but there was an accident when they came to the oasis!

The caravan continued to walk calmly on the road, and in the next second, more than a dozen mercenaries of the gilded brigade suddenly appeared in the bushes on one side, surrounding them.

In the face of the sudden ambush, the caravan's guards instinctively guarded the goods behind them, and a middle-aged man who led the team had a gloomy face:

"Gilded Brigade. What do you want to do? ”

When a caravan goes to such a dangerous place as the desert to do business, it naturally has escorts with them, and there are more than a dozen of them.

Although they may not have as much combat experience as the people of the Gilded Brigade, if they really want to fight hard, they will not necessarily lose.

"Hehe, it's nothing, you have made a lot of money in the desert, leave Mora and the goods behind, you can go!"

The members of the Gilded Brigade led by him sneered and said.

He knew more about the guards of these caravans, and if he really wanted their lives without leaving any room for them, then the two sides would naturally lose when they fought together.

But it shows that as long as there is money and goods, then they must not have the ruthlessness to fight hard.

In this way, you can get the money and goods relatively smoothly, and you don't have to pay too much price.

Unfortunately, their squad is a little understaffed.

If there are more than 20 people, then the entire caravan can be controlled, and then their families can be notified to ransom people and make a lot of money.

It's a pity that this caravan was met by chance, otherwise they could have been better prepared.

"What a joke!"

Naturally, the leader of the caravan could not agree, it was very hard to travel back and forth between the desert and the rainforest, and he only earned a little Mora, and in the end he had to be robbed.

Didn't that do it for nothing!

And if everyone's salary, as well as the money for purchases, etc., are taken away, it will not be a matter of doing it in vain, but it will become a heavy loss!

In any case, these hateful thieves will not be allowed to succeed.

The members of the Gilded Brigade at the head did not look at the leader of the caravan, but at the other guards:

"Do you think so? The salary is only a few mora, is it worth shedding blood and fighting for them? ”

“.”

The guards didn't answer, there is a sense of doing this job, and it is true that the salary is not worth the hard work, but the surface work that should be done must be done.

There is no fight yet, so naturally we can't lose in momentum.

It's not too late to run when the battle starts and it's confirmed that they can't be defeated, after all, they're not outlaws like the Gilded Brigade.

There are children in the family, and it can't be without them.

As for the lack of integrity in this industry because of the escape, no one will ask for a guard in the future, and there is no way to do it.

It's a trivial matter to lose your job, just change your line of work, and if you don't die, you'll have nothing.

If you are alone, you may still be desperate for your reputation, but as the pillar of the family, it is already considered a professional ethics to be able to protect everyone from retreating safely.

As for the goods and Mora, they can only be left to fate.

"Oh? It looks like it's going to be a big deal, very good, brothers prepare! Seeing that the guards were not shaken, the members of the Gilded Brigade led by him frowned.

"Yes, Boss!"

Hearing the order of their own boss, the members of the Gilded Brigade drew their weapons and slowly approached the caravan.

The main purpose of this is to put some pressure on the caravan and at the same time to prevent scaring the beasts of burden.

If they had fled away from the fright, even if they had been able to take the caravan, they would have lost a shipment of goods.

It's not easy to find a lost pack animal in the desert.

Especially when the wind and sand are together and the footprints are buried.

"This"

Seeing that those gilded brigades were really pressing over with weapons, the guards' eyes were also a little hesitant at this time, and they subconsciously looked to the side out of the corner of their eyes.

Then they all tacitly approached the caravan leader and made a gesture, "Don't worry, master, you will never let them hurt you." ”

The person in charge of the caravan was also helpless at this time.

He also understood that it was naturally impossible for the guards to fight hard with the salary given by the caravan, and now it was up to him to take the initiative to order the retreat or forcibly order the guards to be hard.

Everyone has a staircase for the former, and the guards who choose the latter will definitely not go up, so the guards do not abide by professional ethics, but the caravan knows that the people of the Gilded Brigade are strong.

If you want them to guard the goods, it is also a question of whether they can recruit guards in the future after it is passed out.

No escort wanted to work for such a caravan.

Unless they are recruited with a lot of money, but this way the cost is spread over the goods will make their goods more expensive, and everyone will not come to buy them.

After being the caravan leader for so long, the middle-aged man also thought about it very thoroughly.

Choosing to abandon the cargo and retreat is the best choice, so that everyone can maintain relative decency, otherwise there will be conflicts with the guards, and how to support each other to walk back to Kawanyi through the desert in the future is a problem.

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and glared at the gilded brigade and said:

"Damn, you dogs, let's get out first!"

He scolded the gilded brigades, and then ordered the guards to retreat slowly, not forgetting to take Mora with them before leaving.

If Mora could be brought back, the caravan's losses would not be too great.

"Hmph, I don't understand, right, brothers go up and cut him!"

Watching the middle-aged man take the cloth bag and leave, he didn't have to think about it to know what was inside, and took away the Mora he earned earlier, then they still robbed a fart!

"Bastard!" The head of the caravan cursed angrily.

The guards were not frightened and retreated, watching the gilded brigade rush over, they still gathered together quite calmly, blocking the gilded brigade that surrounded them.

"Bell, bell!"

The sound of gold and iron clashing was endless, and the guards were a little constrained to deal with it because they had to protect the caravan leader.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the caravan leader had no choice but to hand over Mora.

However, instead of handing Mora over, he threw her into the nearby woods in an attempt to attract the attention of the Gilded Brigade.

Give them time to evacuate.

"Boss, Mora flew away," said one of the members of the Gilded Brigade as the bag containing Mora flew into the woods next to it.

"Hmm."

The boss of the Gilded Brigade also knew that he couldn't push them too hard, so he raised his hand and told his men to stop attacking.

But they still surrounded the caravan and did not let them go.

"What, what else do you want!" Seeing that the gilded brigade was still surrounding them, the person in charge of the caravan couldn't help but be even more angry.

"Haha, don't worry, I said I'll let you go when I get something, but I have to make sure it's Mora in the bag."

The members of the Gilded Brigade laughed, and then looked at the caravan again:

"By the way, you should still have Mora with you, hand them over too!"

From the simple battle just now, he already knew that those guards had a retreat in their hearts, so they also began to move forward.

Now those guards were also angry, but they thought that the caravan's goods and Mora were lost, and they were not inferior to their own, so there was no need to continue to provoke these outlaws.

Just as they were about to hand over the Mora on their bodies, the Gilded Brigade, who had long seen the opportunity, suddenly burst out and slashed at them.

The guards inevitably diverted their attention because of the money, and the weapons they held were unstable, which gave the Gilded Brigade an opportunity.

Why let them go, if they were able to take them all and then extort more Mora?

As soon as the people of the caravan reacted, the knife reached their chests, and it was too late to fight back, just at this critical moment!

The guards suddenly realized that the knives had stopped in front of their chests!

How did the knife stop so fast, obviously looking at their appearance, they didn't pretend, but really wanted to cut them!

The bewildered guards cautiously took a half-step back, and then found that the gilded brigade's knives were still in one hand.

Even the whole person was still, like a lifelike statue, and even the look of horror in his eyes was clearly visible.

"What's going on?"

The person in charge of the caravan swallowed and spat, it was the first time he had seen such a strange situation, and he was so frightened that he wanted to run away immediately.

But his legs trembled slightly, and for some reason he didn't obey the call.

"Are you alright?"

Just as the caravan was also in terror, a voice came from the side, making their hearts tremble, and they thought that some man-eating monster was about to appear.

Turning back stiffly, he found that it was a young man with black hair, followed by a red-haired girl, and his heart was slightly relaxed.

"Y-You?" The caravan leader breathed a sigh of relief, then asked.

Luckily, it's not a monster.

The other guards breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Qiuzhi smiled and said:

"We were passing by, and when we saw you in danger, we came to our aid. Now that they've been contained, you don't have to worry. ”

He pointed to the gilded brigades.

"That, thank you very much, you look a little familiar, could it be that you are the legendary adventurer Mr. Li Qiuzhi?"

After the caravan's leaders and guards relaxed their tense emotions a little, they looked at Li Qiuzhi and the two carefully.

They are from Sumeru City, and they immediately recognize the star of the Zubayr Theater who is quite famous in the city, Miss Nilou!

Then when the unexpected how could this appear here, or when he appeared with a man, they looked at Li Qiuzhi's appearance.

I found that it was also a little familiar.,This seems to be the great hero who saved Sumeru.。

Recently, Lord Little Auspicious Grass King also deliberately announced Li Qiuzhi's identity as a "sage" on the "Void" system, as long as there is a person with a Void Terminal, there is no one who does not know.

"That's right, I am indeed Li Qiuzhi." Li Qiuzhi nodded.

On the "Void" system, Nahida announced that he and Ying had become honorary sages, so that everyone in Sumeru knew him.

As a result, the rate at which he collects "spirits" has increased considerably, and he can now collect almost three entries a day, compared to two times before.

"Whew, thank you so much, Mr. Sage!"

The caravan leader and the guards thanked them again.

"It's okay, I'm a sage after all, how could I see you suffering." Li Qiuzhi waved his hand, and then continued:

"Actually, I've been watching it for a while just now, and I thought that you were about the same number and should be able to deal with it, but it seems that these gangsters are more vicious.

"But this is understandable, after all, they are outlaws, in other words, the Gilded Brigade is so domineering in the desert?"

Hearing Li Qiuzhi's words, the guards were a little ashamed, after all, although there was a reason, it was also a fact that they behaved cowardly and carelessly.

They were a little embarrassed and said:

"Lord Sage, although the people of those gilded brigades in the past did not rob or something, but in the face of a caravan of more than a dozen people, at most some tolls were charged, and they did not dare to rob them all.

"But for some reason, there seems to be more people being robbed in the desert lately, and we don't know why these gilded brigades have become so crazy."

Li Qiuzhi remembered the adventure group that he met before Kawanyi left the city, and it seemed that they had fought with people and were injured, but they were also because of the Gilded Brigade

He thought for a moment and said:

"Okay, can you please tie these people up, I have something to ask them."

"Okay, no problem!"

When the caravan leader and the guards heard Li Qiuzhi's words, they were very enthusiastic and ran to the pack cart to transport the goods and took out a large amount of rope.

"Later, I'll lift their stillness one by one, you can control and trap them all."

Someone helped, Li Qiuzhi naturally didn't do it himself.

"Sage-sage, we see!" The guards nodded heavily, they couldn't deal with a group of people, and one person was naturally okay.

If that doesn't work, go home and get some sleep.

Li Qiuzhi first lifted the time of the Gilded Brigade member led by him, and as soon as he recovered his knife, he was still slashing forward, and the guards rushed up and directly restrained him.

Then tie it up with a rope round and round and round it!

The boss of this group of gold-plated brigades was stunned, completely unaware of what was going on, didn't they just surround those big fat sheep.

How did he get tied up all of a sudden?

When all the members of the Gilded Brigade were tied up one by one, he didn't react, and his face showed a look of doubt about life.

"Come, let's tell me where you came from, and why did you want to rob on a large scale, and what is the purpose?"

Li Qiuzhi walked up to the boss of the gilded brigade and asked.

Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a follow-up, ask for a recommendation, thank you for your support!
