Chapter 775 The mountain road leading to Sindmore
A group of carriages drove slowly on the road in the mountains and forests. Although the road was a bit bumpy, it was not narrow. It was a mountain road that was often passed by carriages and horses. Because not long after walking along this road, you can see the magnificent city of Hindmore.
There are also a lot of carriages. Counting from the first carriage to the last one, there are a total of thirty-eight carriages. They were a caravan specially traveling to Sindmoor to sell goods. The cars were loaded with fine wine, exquisitely processed gemstones, fashionable clothing and leather goods, and precious medicinal materials. A big city like Hindmore needs these luxuries the most.
Of course, these thirty-eight carts are not all loaded with commercial goods. There are also supplies needed by the caravan along the way and carriages for people to rest.
"Hey, Master Mentor, are you almost to Sindmoor?" An escort mercenary hired by the caravan, riding a brown-spotted yellow-skinned thunder leopard with flashing thunder whiskers, retreated from the front of the team. Center of the team. In the carriage next to him, an old man in his seventies poked his head out. He was the royal instructor who went to Beiwangpo for archaeology.
It turns out that the archaeological team did not teleport back from the intercity as expected, perhaps because the archaeological mission failed, or because there was nothing important to do and there was no need to rush back. So they hired chariots and horses and walked all the way from the remote Aipula Province. They met this caravan on the way and went together.
The Royal Tutor looked at the surrounding environment and said: "Well, you can see the city of Sindmore after climbing over the two hills in front."
The accompanying caravan members and servants After hearing this, the soldiers breathed a long sigh of relief. The man riding the Thunder Leopard said: "After more than a month of walking, we finally have to go." Here we are. The team will be led by Giselle. We will enter the city soon. We have to treat our brothers to a big meal first.”
The person who spoke is a captain of the Bobcat Mercenary Group. In addition, there is also the deputy leader of the Falcon mercenary group. Both of these mercenary groups are members of the B-level mercenary group. Of course, for such valuable goods as escort, only one mercenary group will be hired. This is also for the sake of the safety of the goods. Several mercenary groups are used to control each other to prevent the mercenary groups from stealing and stealing the goods.
The called Jichel is a young and handsome boy, eighteen years old, with fair skin and tender flesh like a woman. He is wearing a cool single clothes, but the material is extremely elegant. He can tell at a glance that he is a merchant. The son of a noble family. He is the leader of this caravan and the owner of these goods.
At this time, it was the height of summer. Jichel was riding on a tall horse that was as red as blood. He was holding a fan inlaid with cryolite in his hand. He kept fanning his clothes and listened to the words of the mercenary captain. , smiled and said: "This journey has traveled nearly 20,000 kilometers and passed through three countries. Thanks to the dedication of the captain and the brothers. Guard, nothing serious happened at last. When the goods arrive successfully, I invite the brothers to go to the Paradise Building to have a good time.”
The Paradise Building is a famous place in Sindmoor City, and the entire building is full of them. All the floors are for the consumption of wealthy people such as nobles and wealthy businessmen. It is a place where money is spent profusely.
The mercenary captain laughed loudly after hearing this, and the guards around him were also happy.
A mercenary asked: "Can we make a lot of money by selling this batch of goods to Sindmoor?"
Gichel just laughed.
In the carriage, Ruo La stretched out his hand to wake up Bing Zhixie who was sleeping in the corner, but when he reached halfway, he was stopped by someone.
Harry said: "He doesn't want to care about you, why are you so shameless that you insist on going to him? Humph, after all, isn't he just a mercenary? What's so great about him."
Ruola's hand stopped in mid-air, and then retracted it after a while. She lowered her head sadly and played with the corners of her clothes in her hands, but she didn't know what she was thinking.
Since getting closer to Sindmore, Ruola found that Bingzhixie rarely talked to her. Several times she wanted to chat with Bingzhixie, but Bingzhixie always treated her badly. She ignored it, which made her a little sad.
Harry said: "Why don't you go talk to that one? Doesn't that one talk a lot?"
Ruola's head dropped so low that her golden hair covered her face and her expression could not be seen.
Ying is not in the carriage. Bing Zhixie likes to be quiet, but Ying can't rest. He is lying on the roof of the largest and most beautiful carriage in front, with dried meat and wine next to him, looking at Lin Zhongfei All kinds of birds and beasts jumping around. Ying crossed his legs and swayed with the rocking of the carriage. He hummed a mountain village tune that he couldn't remember hearing from somewhere, but he was thinking in his heart: "Because you care about Linda, you don't want to have any entanglements with other women. Why not take the Dilong and leave early? "
Of course Bing Zhixie in the carriage could also 'hear' what Ying was saying, but ignored him.
Actually, he didn’t know why he didn’t leave the convoy earlier. If he had taken the Dragon Dragon, he would have arrived at Sindmoor more than ten days ago. Just thinking about Ruola, there was always an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and this feeling made him hesitate.
Ying smiled in her heart and said: "She must be a goblin, otherwise why would she be so attractive? Everyone in the caravan liked her when they saw her. I guess the royal mentor would be so kind to her because he was attracted to her. Seduced.”
Bing Zhixie turned over and buried her head in the car.
At this time, there was a "boom" and an explosion was detected in front of the motorcade. Harry was so startled that he sat upright.
Ruola poked her head out of the small window of the carriage and asked, "What's wrong?" "Okay...it seems like we were ambushed." The mercenaries running nearby suddenly saw many people emerging from the forest. , said in shock: "No, there are bandits, there are bandits!"
Ruola also saw those tough bandits in the forest, and her face turned pale with fright. She hid in the carriage and shouted: "Teacher, guide..." Halfway through, she found that the royal mentor was no longer in the carriage. Inside, when I looked again, Bing Zhixie, who had been curled up sleeping in the corner of the carriage, was gone.
"Everyone, don't make a mess, don't make a mess, take care of your own cars, and don't scare the monsters pulling the cars!" The Falcon leader who was responsible for escorting the caravan was directing the convoy.
Although these mercenaries are not frightened, they are all mercenaries who have been tempered for many years and have a tacit understanding of cooperation. They have carried out the task of escorting caravans many times and are very experienced in facing the robberies of bandits and bandits. .
The tall horse that Giselle was riding leaned toward the middle of the convoy and shouted loudly: "Everyone must obey the orders of the mercenary leader and don't get into trouble." Of course the person he was calling was The retinue of his own caravan, such a valuable batch of goods, of course must have a group of his own guards.
The accompanying coachmen and guards were just about to herd the carriages and horses together when a series of thunderous explosions rang out in the convoy. The electric current immediately numbed many of the guard monsters and fell to the ground in convulsions.
Giselle's tall horse was also knocked unconscious by the blast, and others were also shaken to the ground by the air wave.
When the leader of the Bobcats saw it, he quickly ran over and pulled Gichel up: "Are you okay? Come on, someone, protect Mr. Gichel!"
Some members of the Bobcats and accompanying guards quickly gathered around.
Gichelle shook his head in disgrace. Before he could recover, a shower of arrows rained down from the sky again, followed by all kinds of magic attacks, including lightning strikes and earthen pits. , and suddenly the caravan was in chaos.
The Falcon leader held a pair of magic stone crossbows in his hands, and while fighting back in the forest, he was still giving instructions: "All the moving convoys must gather together quickly. The shield guards are outside, and the mages and archers are here. Everyone, fight back!"
These things happened in a very short period of time, no more than ten seconds. The royal instructor who came out of the carriage had already summoned his golden-winged roc, and spread out his body to come to Jisel's side.
"Teacher, it's good that you're here, tutor." Jishel respected the royal tutor along the way and took very good care of him. He also knew that he had the strength of a magician, and he felt a lot of relief in his heart.
The royal tutor said: "Don't worry, there will be mercenaries and guards to protect you, everything will be fine."
After a burst of magic and arrows, the bandits in the forest have already come out. , the summoned formations of light appeared one by one, and various different magical beasts were summoned. The mercenaries also called out their guards one after another, holding sharp weapons and fighting with the bandits rushing out of the forest.
The leader of the lynx has a pair of golden claws in his hands, and he rides on the spotted thunder leopard and rushes into the battle group shouting: "Our numbers have the upper hand, brothers, don't be afraid!"
< br>At first glance, the bandits who roared out of the mountain forest were only about 150 or 60 people. The members of the two mercenary groups, plus the guards accompanying the caravan, totaled no less than 300 people. The caravan had the absolute upper hand.
"These blind guys, let's see how I deal with them!" Of course the mercenaries and guards also saw this, and they were all confident.
Gichel also felt relieved and dusted himself off. Both the Bobcats and the Falcons are B-level mercenary groups. Although not all of the people hired are top members of the two mercenary groups, there are also many good players. The average bandit can rob other small caravans. , grabbing them is tantamount to courting death.
The spotted thunder leopard rushed into the crowd, with golden lightning all over its body, like a ball of thunder arrows darting through the crowd. The lynx leader jumped down from the Thunder Leopard, and the summoning light array between his claws lit up. It turns out that the spotted thunder leopard is not his guardian, but a monster that lives in the space gem on his heart armor. At this time, his summoning light array unfolded, and what came out of the array was another big black cat - the Frost-toothed Leopard.
The frost-toothed leopard's teeth are very similar to those of the arrow-toothed tiger. It has a pair of very long canine teeth. Its fur is dark blue with a hint of cold air. It is an ice leopard with blue frost. The characteristics of the Frostfang Leopard and the Thunder Leopard are very different. The Thunder Leopard likes to move and likes to attack fiercely, just like the thunder knight in Warcraft; while the Frostfang Leopard is like the ice mage in Warcraft, and it doesn't like it very much. He moves, and his whole body is filled with ice aura. Anyone who comes close to him will be frozen by the overwhelming cold air.
Ice Aura, an advanced magic similar to the Ice Robe, will cause a lot of trouble to the enemy, but the effect is worse than that of the Ice Robe.
Two leopards, one moving and one still, one pounces here and there, the other slowly follows his master, one pounces on the enemy and bites it fiercely, the other has cold eyes and a mouth with a halo of ice magic. Speaking of which, the Frost-toothed Leopard is stronger. The Spotted Thunder Leopard is only a fourth-level intermediate monster, while the Frost-toothed Leopard has a sixth-level lower level.
