Chapter VII: Forced Accession
With the sound of horses' hooves. There were also loud human voices and the sound of cars crushing against the ground. Guo Twelve said: "We haven't seen a large group of people along the way, is this a caravan or an army?"
Azek said: "It doesn't matter if he's a caravan or an army, as long as he doesn't mess with us, if he dares to mess with me, I'll make him a death squad." ”
The fire was lit up, and it was a long dragon formed by torches. Soon dozens of horses galloped over, grabbed the reins about a few dozen meters away from them, and said in a ** voice: "Hey, come here!"
Guo Twelve sat in front of the bonfire, sighed and said, "Always don't let people ......live in peace," he turned around and said, "We are just passers-by, and we will not interfere with your actions." He waved his hand and motioned for the other party to leave.
Ezek sneered, "They won't let us go, hmph, they're not in the right tone." With his sensitivity, he immediately sensed the hostile attitude of the other party.
I heard a ** voice: "Go to a few people, bring them over!"
Guo Twelve scratched his head and said, "Azek, don't kill, it's enough to teach you a lesson." ”
Ezek said: "Why? It is they who take the initiative to provoke, kill if they kill, why be polite to them, bastards who come to the door, even if you don't kill them, they will not be polite to you." ”
Guo Twelve could only smile bitterly, it was impossible to reason with Azek. He said: "I said that if I don't kill, I won't kill, do you still want to eat barbecue......" He really had no choice, so he had to use this to curb Ezek's killing intent.
Unexpectedly, Azek gave in, and he said, "What does this have to do with the barbecue? Okay, okay, don't kill, don't kill, fuck, look at me!"
Several horses rushed over, and before they could ask questions, they heard a crackling sound, and the horses neighed, and in a few breaths, the people who rushed forward and the horses lay on the ground. Immediately afterward, Ezek pounced on the group and roared into the team.
Guo Twelve stood up and watched helplessly. He didn't want to clash with the locals at all, but the domineering attitude of the other party was really annoying, even if he wanted to communicate with them.
Azek was a humanoid alien talisman beast, and his aura terrified the horses to the extreme, so when he rushed into the horse team, the entire horse team was chaotic, and he knocked down a dozen people in an instant. Someone shouted wildly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack ......"
I heard Ezek yelling, "Hit your mother's head!
Torches flew wildly, horses neighed, screams and fells, and there was a mess. Ezek scolded angrily, "Bastard, who do you think you are...... It is unforgivable to disturb Lao Tzu's rest!"
A horse was thrown away, and a man was thrown into the air with his hands dancing, like a ghost dancing in the light of a torch. Guo Twelve hugged his arms and said, "Handsome old man, I guess...... It's not a good road, and with Ezek's grumpy guy, the locals won't communicate with us at all. ”
The handsome old man smiled in the altar: "It's okay, under absolute force, everything is empty......"
Sure enough, someone shouted, "Stop!"
Guo Twelve also shouted: "Ezek, come back!"
Ezek flew back and said, "Weak, really weak...... I wondered, why is such a weak person so arrogant, isn't this looking for a fight?" "In their world, when encountering a strange alienated talisman beast, the first time is not to provoke, but to try to figure out the strength of the other party, and then decide their own actions, and the people here are full of domineering as soon as they meet, and they are not wronged at all when they are beaten. If it weren't for Guo Twelve's blocking, Azek would have killed these people cleanly.
Guo Twelve raised his voice and said, "Come here!"
Soon, a trembling person came over, and he said sharply, "You guys...... What do you want to do?"
Guo Twelve laughed in his heart and said, "Hey, what am I going to do? I was resting by the river for the night, and a group of you guys came over, looking unreasonable, you say...... What am I going to do? I'm going to fuck you! a bunch of bastards!" As soon as he said a word, his anger couldn't help but bubble up.
The man came near. Guo Twelve suppressed his anger a little and asked, "Who are you?"
Ezek snorted coldly, sat down, and said, "A bunch of idiots. ”
The man, dressed as a hunter, said, "We are hunters from Fort Edro, following the caravan...... Prepare to go to the Duchy of Ek and escort the caravan by the way......" He secretly looked at the two of them, and his heart was extremely surprised. The two men were dressed in gorgeous robes, both of which he had never seen before, and their appearance was very different from that of the locals.
Guo Twelve asked, "What's your name?"
The man accompanied him and said, "My name is Wu Tuqi, a barbarian warrior. "He has the strength of a second-level barbarian spirit master, and he belongs to the bottom among the masters of this world.
Guo Twelve asked, "Wu Tuqi, are you the leader of these people?"
"It's not the leader," said the Utuqi, "we're all hired by the Orlan caravan......" he glanced at Ezek with fear. This man is so strong, they have more than fifty barbarian warriors, and almost half of them have been defeated by him, if he doesn't stop, it is estimated that it will not be long before they all will be defeated.
Guo Twelve said, "Go and call the leader of the caravan." He sat down with a sword.
The Utu bowed and bowed, then turned away. They were blinded by Ezek, and the stormy attack made them feel the threat of death.
Ezek was puzzled, "Twelve, what are you doing?"
Soon, an old man walked over, followed by several brute spirit masters, and walked to the bonfire trembling one by one. Guo Twelve asked, "You are the leader of the caravan?"
The old man's face was ugly, he walked up to Guo Twelve and said, "I am the leader of the Orlan caravan, we were rude before, and I am the leader...... Apologize to you. He bowed.
Guo Twelve waved his hand and said, "Sit down." "He doesn't want to pursue anything, even if he kills them all, it's useless, and he's not a murderer, he likes to kill people for fun.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that he would meet an arrogant and unreasonable person, especially if the other party was strong enough to sweep their caravan. Even though the Orlan caravan had hired seventy or eighty returning hunters, plus a hundred and ten escorts, he did not think it would be able to deal with the two men in front of him.
"My name is Odopa. ”
Guo Twelve asked, "Odopa, are you going to the Duchy of Ek?"
"Yes," said Odopa, "this time we have collected a batch of fur ores and herbs at Fort Edro to be shipped back to the Duchy of Ek, and we have to go to Fort Edro once a year, and after a winter of acquisitions, we will go back. He recounted it briefly.
Guo Twelve nodded and said, "The journey to the Principality of Ek is not close, how long will it take? ”
"If it goes well, it will take fifty days, and it will not be easy because we will have to pass through the Karabazar trail...... Hiba steppe. "Karabazar translates to danger. Not only is the terrain treacherous, but it is also inhabited by robbers and bandits, who specialize in robbing caravans, as well as hunters who have returned from the border, often carrying with them a lot of good things after a period of hunting.
The reason why the Xiba grassland is dangerous is because part of the Xiba grassland is a swampy grassland, and there are many fierce beasts and steppe horse thieves.
Guo Twelve said: "That's ...... Aren't you dangerous?" he was not at all optimistic about the caravan's force.
Odopa smiled bitterly, of course this road is not easy to walk and dangerous, but if you walk more, you will have experience, and after fighting with bandits and robbers many times, they also know that as long as they pay a little price, they can basically pass. When encountering small groups of bandits and robbers, most of them are dealt with in this way, unless they are extremely unlucky, and they encounter large groups of bandits and robbers, then they will be desperate.
And in the most dangerous areas, there are often several caravans organized and acting together, so it is much safer. Therefore, Odopa was not worried about the safety of the caravan, but the two people in front of him, he really couldn't see through, and he didn't know what kind of existence it was, and he could beat dozens of hunters to the ground.
Odopa's heart suddenly moved, he remembered what Guo Twelve said just now, they were also going to the Principality of Ek, with the strength of these two people, if they could join the caravan, the road would be safer. He hesitated, for he couldn't figure out what the hell the two men were doing, and said, "You guys...... Going to the Duchy of Ek and not planning to join a caravan?"
Guo 12 said: "We are outsiders, and we don't know what kind of caravan we want to join. ”
Odor Ba breathed a sigh of relief, and Guo Twelve directly admitted that he was an outsider. It's not that there are no foreigners here, it's just very rare. He made up his mind and said, "In that case, can I invite you to go with me?"
Guo Twelve originally wanted to join a team, not for safety, but to understand the world.
Azek was just about to speak, but was stopped by Guo Twelve, he knew that this guy had no good words as soon as he opened his mouth, and said: "There is no problem ...... joining"
Odopa was overjoyed, and he immediately said, "Ten pieces of gold for each man." He pulled out a small bag of gold nuggets, the kind of universal gold nuggets he had seen at Fort Edro. Twenty pieces of gold, which was only a small packet, he handed it to Guo Twelve. This is his greatest right, and a piece of gold is worth a lot of money, enough to live alone for several days.
Guo Twelve didn't refuse, he stretched out his hand to take it and said, "Okay, let's go together tomorrow." ”
......
Early the next morning, Guo Twelve rode on his horse. But Azek still couldn't ride a horse, he couldn't even ride in a carriage, because any horse would go limp, tremble, and sweat profusely if he came close. Angry enough that Ezek screamed, and in the end he had no choice but to follow the caravan and run after it alone.
In order to obtain information, Guo Twelve rode for a while, then dismounted and sat on a large cart with Odoba. Only then did he take a closer look at the caravan leader.
Odopa looked to be in his sixties, with a gray beard, a bald piece on the top of his head, the rest of his hair in a small braid, a fine linen garment, covered with soft leather armor, a short sword at his waist, and a long-handled lunator by his side. He's also a brute master.
The carriage was full of fur and fastened to the carriage with a leather cord. This is a two-horse cart, the solid wood cart has a ring of steel on the wheel, the fur on the cart has not been treated, there is a strong fishy smell. Odopa personally drove the car, and Guo XII sat beside him.
