Chapter 164, Red Sun Canyon
Hankus glanced at Long Yunfeng coldly, then glared at the man with a frightened face in his hand and asked, "Say, why do you openly intercept our caravan!?"
The man was shocked and replied with a sad face: "Big... My lord, we really have nothing to do!"
"Helpless? Can you be so presumptuous? This is all the nature of a thief!" Hankus snorted.
The man was terrified: "Little... Villain..."
"Don't worry, you can say it well, he doesn't dare to do anything to you. Long Yunfeng held back his eyes at Hankus.
"You..." Hankus was so angry that his face turned red.
The man saw that Hankus seemed to be afraid of Long Yunfeng, so he began to sigh: "Alas~ Actually, we are also forced to be helpless!"
"Hmph, I'm forced to be a thief. Hankus scoffed.
Hearing this, the man's expression was gloomy, and he said helplessly: "Be a thief? Do you think we all want to? Not long ago, our Red Sun Town was ransacked by thieves, and my family, no, everyone here, everything, even his wife, was taken away by those vicious thieves, and we had no ability to resist at all. โ
As he spoke, the man clenched his fists in hatred, his eyes reddened.
Everyone was shocked, but also felt sad for what happened to the man in their town, that is, even Hankus became silent.
The man continued: "In order to survive, we have to become thieves, hoping to intercept the passing caravan and take advantage of it, otherwise we will not be able to continue to survive at all, and we will all die, so we have to make this decision." I thought that some passing caravans would give us a little gold to send us away when they saw that we were outnumbered, and we continued to live with this small property, but I didn't expect to meet you today, which made our Red Sun Town pay a heavier price, even if you let us go now, we will not be able to continue to live in the future. โ
Finally, after hearing these words, everyone was silent again, and they couldn't help but hang their heads gloomily.
Indeed, whoever else would be forced to do this kind of thing, but only to survive.
Thinking of this, some of the people who still had the sword in their hands discarded the sword in their hands, and even felt ashamed of what they had done before.
"Captain Hankus, now you should understand, they are just ordinary people trying to survive, and you are very cruel to destroy them, don't you think you have lost the most basic humanity? Now your subordinates are stronger than you!" Long Yunfeng sneered.
Hankus's face flushed with anger, and he said angrily: "Survive!
"Then what if it's you who encounters this kind of encounter?" Long Yunfeng asked coldly.
"I..." Hankus was stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how to answer.
"I can't tell. Long Yunfeng held his eyes disdainfully, then took out a bag of gold coins from his arms, handed them to the man, and said: "There are five hundred gold coins here, which can be regarded as compensation for you, but don't do it again next time, because you will meet some people who have lost their humanity at any time." โ
"Thank you!" the man shuddered as he took the gold coins, his face full of gratitude.
Hankus knew that the person Long Yunfeng was referring to was himself, but he didn't know how to refute it, so he turned around and left in anger.
And Long Yunfeng actually gave half of the remuneration in his group to the man, and he also won the deep admiration of many people, even Bard felt ashamed.
Long Yunfeng ignored Hankus and them, and said to the man: "Okay, you better go back first, as for what happened in your town, I also deeply sympathize, if possible, I will help you." โ
"Thank you, thank you, sir!" the man looked moved, held the bag of gold coins as if it were a treasure, called the rest of the group, and left quickly.
Couldn't help it, Long Yunfeng walked to Karina's side with a heavy face.
"Yunfeng, aren't you going to help them? I think they're quite pitiful. Karina looked at Long Yunfeng with a begging look.
"Yes, Yunfeng, why don't we go find those hateful thieves and kill them!" said Kajri hatefully.
"Hehe, if you have a chance, let's hurry first. Long Yunfeng smiled faintly.
Kajeri and the others were stunned, unable to understand what Long Yunfeng meant.
In fact, Long Yunfeng already had an idea in his heart. According to the man, if thieves ransacked their town not long ago, and if it was so rampant, then it must have been those thieves who planned to stay in this area for a long time. Therefore, Long Yunfeng boldly guessed in his heart that this time, the caravan was huge, and those thieves would definitely be attracted to it.
Therefore, the opportunity to meet those thieves is definitely not out of the question.
At this time, Bard walked over with a smile on his face and praised Long Yunfeng: "Captain Yunfeng, what you did just now is really admirable. Therefore, I have decided that after you complete the task, I will give you an additional commission of 500 gold coins, and I will compensate them for the loss of those people just now. โ
"Hehe, thanks. Long Yunfeng smiled at Bud, and couldn't help but have a good impression of Bud.
"You're welcome, then let's hurry up, if we play, it's not easy to leave. Bud smiled.
"Hmm. Long Yunfeng nodded slightly.
Although the gold coins were not important to Long Yunfeng, it was because of Bud's inadvertent kindness that Long Yunfeng was completely determined to protect this caravan.
At this time, Hankus and their Red Fire Mercenary Group were also prepared according to the original arrangement.
Enraged, Hankus exclaimed, "Brothers!
Suddenly, the long dragon-like caravan continued to set off again, but because of what happened just now, everyone's hearts were extremely heavy, and the whole atmosphere was relatively quiet, and it was no longer like the previous fight.
But the strange thing is that this time Long Yunfeng and they did not fall behind, but deliberately walked in the middle of the caravan.
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
After a morning and dozens of miles, everyone found that, as the man had said before, there was indeed a small town near here.
However, the small town has been ransacked, and from the surrounding you can see that it is in a mess, ruined everywhere, and where it still looks like a place for people to live.
Because of what had happened before, everyone deliberately did not dare to approach the town, but deliberately spared a circle and bypassed the town. However, when everyone passed by the side of the town, a sense of guilt could not help but rise in their hearts, and no one even raised their heads.
In silence, the road was maintained for nearly ten miles.
Suddenly, the entire caravan stopped again at the wave of Hankus.
This time was different, what they were facing in front of them was a dangerous mountain, and between the peaks, there was a large canyon with open passages.
Long Yunfeng had already noticed this canyon, and faintly seemed to be aware of something, and smiled secretly.
At this time, Bard walked down and said solemnly: "We have arrived at the Red Sun Canyon, and the road here is not easy to walk." โ
"Mr. Bard. Hankus walked over.
It just so happened that Long Yunfeng also walked in front of Mr. Bard when Hankus was coming, deliberately glanced at Hankus who was angry, and said solemnly to Bard: "Mr. Bard, I don't think it's very peaceful in this canyon, so let's take a detour." โ
Hankus was stunned for a moment, the question that Long Yunfeng said was exactly the question he wanted to express. This Hankus was so angry that he was unbalanced, he definitely couldn't be led by Long Yunfeng, so he deliberately said in a contrarian tone: "Mr. Bud, don't forget, if we go around, it will need to increase the burden of the journey, and look at the terrain, even if we go around the road, it is not very peaceful, it is better to take advantage of the fact that it is not dark, let's go directly through the canyon, so that we can save a lot of time." โ
"Hmph, don't you know that the situation in the canyon is extremely unfavorable for us, and if there are thieves who ambush us, then we will not be able to find our way, and I suspect that the thieves they say are hiding in the canyon. Long Yunfeng said coldly.
"There's no way out, it's because you don't have the ability to do it yourself, and as for those thieves, it's just your guess, and even if there is, then my sword will never spare them. Hankus flaunted his sword.
Long Yunfeng smiled secretly, it seemed that his idea had succeeded, so he said lightly: "Then let Mr. Bard decide." โ
Hearing this, Bard hesitated for a long time, then looked at the dangerous Grand Canyon, and finally said decisively: "Okay, let's go in from the canyon, but we only advance half of the goods, if there is really a problem, it will be easier to withdraw at that time." โ
"Well, that makes sense, then let's divide half of the goods first, and if it's okay, let someone else bring in the second half of the goods. Hankus replied.
"Okay, so how are you going to take care of these two halves of the cargo. Bard couldn't help but look at Long Yunfeng and Hankus.
"I think, these thieves are more greedy people, if we advance the first half of the goods, if there are really thieves, they will immediately ambush us, even if they know that there is still the second half of the goods, they will attack the first half of the goods, so the second half of the goods are definitely the safest, just Mr. Bard and your subordinates are responsible, as for the first half of the goods, we need to concentrate all the forces of our entire caravan, and they must not be dispersed, so it will be transported by our two mercenary groups. Hankus said.
"Well, it's okay, just do what Captain Kus wants. Bud nodded.
"I'm okay with that. Long Yunfeng said lightly.
Here, there were six wagons full of goods, so the first three carriages were divided, and the two mercenary groups of Red Fire and Ziyan were jointly responsible, while Bard and his men waited for news outside the Red Sun Canyon.
However, for the safety of their employer, Bud, Hankus and Long Yunfeng each sent a subordinate to protect Bard's safety.
Therefore, Luo Ke in the Red Fire Mercenary Group and Sen Lan in the Ziyan Mercenary Group were responsible for staying.
Immediately, after the distribution was sorted out, the people of the two mercenary groups began to escort the goods on the first three carriages and officially entered the Red Sun Canyon.
