Chapter 2661 Grain Transport Team
In Xihai Kingdom, there is a long convoy, with carriages and horses stretching for thousands of miles. The carriages are pulled by the gray barren land reindeer unique to the north, because the north has not been damaged by the natural disaster. There are many herdsmen ranches in the North with this type of labor force that can withstand bitter cold and hunger. They are very easy to use when assembled. However, their endurance is average and their fighting ability is weak. Therefore, next to the long team, there is a long food protection team.
4223 grain trucks and 60 supervision vehicles are arranged in the middle of the convoy. More than 300 people from the True Flame Mercenary Group are riding Northland White Bears, holding snow wolves in their hands. He was breathing heavily, wearing a thick scarf and a warm dog-skin hat, and various helmets on top of the hat.
"The reward this time must be higher than the previous times. For such a big battle, at least each person will be given dozens of gold coins more." Tang Fu is the talkative one in the team, and his thick beard is covered with snow. Although he was confused, his mouth could not be blocked. He looked back and forth. Everyone else had their heads lowered. Braving the wind and snow, he took a sip of strong wine and saw that no one was paying attention. He started to sing folk songs.
"Hey, can you please be quiet?" A head popped out of the grain monitoring car and cursed with a sleepy look on his face: "I'm sleeping, can you shut up and stop talking? ! ”
"..." Tang Fu thought that the other party was his employer, so he had to endure this tone, slowed down, and came to Liszt's side.
Liszt is another captain of the True Flame. He has a rope holding the Snow Wolf tied around his waist: "Last month, three food transport teams were robbed. I heard that the losses were not much, but that Bian was still scared. This time there was a large team of more than 4,000 vehicles, with a total of several thousand people. It is estimated that few people would dare to come and die. "
In addition to the True Flame Mercenary Group, there are also members of the Dark Night Blue Soul. A man named Jiawen, nicknamed the Armored Swordsman, followed the other side of the food team and said: "This This time we were transporting winter grain, and there were only one batch of several thousand trucks. There were many more teams like this one after another heading south to transport the natural calamity. There was no harvest in the disaster-stricken areas. Without this food, the victims would have been in chaos. "
Tang Fu was just looking for someone to chat with when he pushed his hat on his forehead and asked: "You. Talking about the dark weather in the south, when will it get better? I heard that Shengyuan is planning another artificial sun salvation plan. I don’t know what’s going on, there hasn’t been any movement for so long.”
“Who knows?” Jiawen’s slender body was riding on the war horse, and the long sword on his belt followed the horse’s progress. Bumpy: "We invited a lot of people to look for some elemental spirit before, and our group also sent people there."
"What's wrong?" Tang Fu looked at him with a sad look on his face.
Jiawen sighed: "The loss is not small, and the elemental spirit is not caught. The people in the group said that the thing is too unstable and powerful, and it might self-destruct. Otherwise, why would we be sent here? Participating in food protection? Originally, we didn’t like this kind of mission. It was because of the high losses and the high price of food protection. We just came here."
Tang Fu was curious and asked: "How much do they charge you?"
"Well, I can't tell you the details. The one I got is 800 silver coins a day, and I have 3,000 silver coins a day. After one trip, there is another fee," Jiawen said truthfully.
Liszt interjected: "There are more than 130 of you here, you can get a lot in one trip."
Tang Fu said angrily: "Why do you give me only 450 coins a day, and my subordinates only get 300 coins a day? There is a huge difference! In terms of strength, even if it is not as good as you, it is at least much stronger than most of your subordinates. I It's actually hundreds less than them." Jiawen Ting said. He straightened his back and said proudly: "You and I must have different teams. Of course, the price of the A-level mercenary group is higher." If you want to reason with them, the difference can’t be that big.” Tang Fu is from the Kingdom of Ashan. He was a militiaman. After working for twenty-two years, he also became a commander of the militia joint defense. At this time, there was chaos everywhere. It was the time when they were busy working as a militiaman. Unfortunately, there were few people at home. Every child is waiting for money and food to feed, and prices are rising The amount of money distributed to the militiamen was increased, and it was said that it was to prevent bandits and recruit more militiamen. However, the total amount of money distributed to the militiamen by several villages and towns was not only not more, but also less. He had no choice but to come out for another Looking for a way to make money, working as a mercenary turned out to be no better. It wasn't until I joined True Flame's group a few months ago and participated in food protection that my income stabilized. Therefore, he calculated the amount of income more carefully.
After several expansions and mergers, the True Flame Mercenary Group is now renamed the True Flame Mercenary Group.
A few people were chatting together. Junker, another captain of the Real Flame Mercenary Group in front, stepped back and said to Tang Fu and Liszt: "There is bad news. Something happened to the town where we planned to stay today. It was destroyed by a group of monsters. I just heard on the road that everyone in the town had fled.”
Tang Fu said depressedly: "What should we do? There are only a few people in Xihai Kingdom, so we have to walk a lot to find a town or village. Didn't the female mage predict that there would be a heavy snowstorm in the afternoon? It seems that we have to brave the wind. Xue rushed to the next place to stay."
Jiawen laughed and said, "There is no one in the town. It's not good. Will you give us a place to rest? This is a large plain. I looked at the map earlier and found that there is no place nearby to escape the wind and snow. We can only go to the town..."
While talking, the real flame mercenary group The more than sixty wolves and dogs led by the hundred people all pricked up their ears and looked in one direction, and began to roar.
The people in the food team noticed something was wrong, and someone immediately released birds such as snow eagles and ghost falcons to observe the situation. Originally, for a team as big as theirs, there should always be several flying birds standing in the air for warning. However, the wind and snow are now heavy, and the birds will get tired after flying for a long time. Therefore, only two birds were left above the team, but there were no birds in the air. Discover something.
At this moment, there were many flying birds in the sky, and some people flew into the air to observe. Immediately, a blue-bellied ghost falcon whistled, and a large monster with a red back waded through the deep snow toward Move over here quickly.
"There is a monster attack, there is a monster attack..." The reconnaissance sentry flying in the air gave a warning, then blew the whistle, giving instructions in the direction of the monster.
"Is it a guy in the wild or a robber?" The people below were more concerned about the nature of the attack. At the same time, the people employed by the True Flame and Dark Night Blue Soul mercenary groups drew their swords and prepared to deal with the incoming attack. enemy.
A man riding a snowy gryphon in the sky suddenly saw a black shadow flying between the white sky and the earth. He quickly picked up his binoculars and saw a man wearing a mask. Wearing a cloak made of knives and swords, he rushed towards him at a very fast speed. He watched helplessly as the man grew bigger in the telescope. When he put down the telescope in panic, the man had already flown over. Less than three hundred meters away, he drew his sword and shouted: "There is an enemy attack, the enemy is attacking..." His shout was not so clear in the wind and snow. According to the preset, if it was a bandit attack, he should immediately He blew the whistle three times in a row, maybe he was so frightened that he forgot about it. Before he could blow the whistle three times, someone from the air suddenly appeared in front of him, tearing open the breastplate of the sentry and piercing his chest with sharp claws.
