Chapter 176 Chaos and Disputes
The sunset shines on the muddy land, and the ruts crisscross the ground.
Far from a distance, several teams of carriages came from the center of the dim road. Most of them were carrying broken equipment and weapons, and some refugees followed him were ragged and covered with scars.
But when they saw the forest not far away, their bloodshot eyes revealed a little bit of glory for surviving the disaster.
As the evening approached, there were already a group of people on the roadside not far away, resting on the spot.
Seeing this, Lec and his friends also walked forward.
Watching Lake walk into the crowd, everyone in the camp showed some vigilance, but after careful examination, they all relaxed.
In their opinion, a little girl like this would not pose much threat.
And in the shadows in the corner, whispers came.
Several skinny people looked at the gorgeous hilt of Star Killing Sword next to Lake's delicate arm, and their eyes revealed greed.
But with the appearance of Poluo, the greed in their eyes disappeared-
After all, in the current environment, no one is confident to face such a powerful "hound" with just a little wound.
Diseases and infections will bring the lives of most people!
"Sir, where did you come from? Where did you come from? What happened?"
A man who looked pretty neat and looked like a caravan leader was sitting by the fire.
In this camp, such businessmen always have much more knowledge than others.
Lake walked forward and handed over a bottle of wine that Poluo had shown through [Ring Return: Dessert Feast].
The man took it with some surprise, took a sip, his eyes lit up, and he showed a look of surprise.
"Miss, this wine tastes good. It shouldn't be from our side. You should be from the other side of the Biwei Kingdom, right?"
"Yes."
Lake nodded, although she still carried a lot of gold, silver and coins on her.
But after learning many lessons before, Laike learned the principle of "not revealing money". In places with many people, it is much better to use some wine as a reward than exposing the gold and silver in places with many eyes.
"I was entrusted by a friend to go to the Kingdom of Goethe to send something."
Lake continued, Goethe's Kingdom was what the Golden Bird knew, the kingdom she was going to.
"Goethe Kingdom..."
The caravan leader drank wine, recited the name of the country carefully, and then looked at Lake in surprise, "That country is still far away. Where are you going? Or send something to your friends?"
The caravan leader took another sip, his eyes with some cloudiness, looked up and down at Lake, sighed, and then said, "Little girl, listen to me, don't go. Now, if you only have one person, don't go as much as you pay - that's going to die!"
"Send to death? Why do you say that?"
Lake asked in confusion.
"Look at us, and those--"
The caravan leader pointed to some caravan guards resting next to the caravan, many of them still wearing bandages.
The armor was covered with a few scratches.
In the shadow further away, some refugees walking with the caravan were even more ragged and thin.
"Is it because of war?"
Lake asked tentatively with his eyes wide open.
"Yes, it's a war, a huge war that has never been recorded in history books!"
The caravan leader shook his head and looked at the wine in his hand. Although he was the leader of a caravan, he had never drunk this level of wine several times.
"The countries in Zhongzhou are the most crowded places. In the past, one country after another flourished in business, with all kinds of goods, specialties, food....
But now, the war is coming, it’s like a day, changing the world.
All countries are fighting each other. In the past, the more harmonious they got along, now they break up!
And the Goethe Kingdom you are going to is still separated by two warring kingdoms where we are now. ”
"Huh, so that's how it is."
Lake thought for a while and said, "Then I just need to bypass those battlefields, won't it be enough?"
"It would be great if it was that simple."
The words of the caravan leader became a little dazed under the influence of alcohol. "Those defeated, fleeing, and even serving soldiers are no longer trying to protect anything.
The sword was in their hands, and they were in the killing, and began to be driven by the desires of darkness.
They are not safe, they have become wild wolves that have been out of control, bandits and thieves - do you know? That is a robber with armor, great sword, and strong crossbow! ”
"The soldiers... have all become robbers?"
Lake was stunned for a moment, then he thought of the banned army in the Kingdom of Boren.
If they were no longer slaughtering civilians for selfish desires, then the damage they could cause would be much greater than that of giants!
"Yes, little girl, for your bottle of wine, I will give you a piece of advice!"
The caravan leader shook the bottle, and the remaining half was reluctant to drink it in one go. He naturally withdrew his hand and stuffed the bottle into his arms.
Then, he looked at Lake, shook his head, and said proudly:
"I have been doing business in this ghost place for many years and have seen many people. I have also seen many girls like you-"
As he said, he looked at Lake and the side of Lake, Poluo with green eyes said:
"Let me guess...
You have a slender figure, good clothes, gorgeous weapons, and white and greasy skin without any calluses.
You were born as a nobleman and practiced a lot of swordsmanship. You felt that you were powerful and wanted to be a mercenary.
Then, I don’t know the world is so strong that I want to prove myself, but after taking a order that no one wants, I just want to deliver things and go to a place I don’t know, right? ”
The caravan leader said with the intention of drinking, wanting to see the girl in front of him who was so weak that she could not help but show her fear of being seen through.
But Lake blinked.
Although the caravan leader has a strong observation ability, he has logical reasoning, but unexpectedly and reasonably achieved almost "all-wrong" results.
"Uh, sir, I still want to know something about Goethe's Kingdom and neighboring countries. Of course, if you have a map, I can exchange it for something..."
"Hey, little girl, have you listened to me?"
The caravan leader showed a little disappointed expression and said in a preaching tone, "The current wars in Zhongzhou are not comparable to those of your small fights."
"What is the war there like? I have seen wars before, so what's the big deal? Just stay away, right?"
Lake was a little helpless, but asked as the caravan leader said.
"Ha, a little girl like you, what I saw before were all small fuss. Let me tell you--just yesterday, I just led this team out of a big battle.
If we were slower, we would probably be massacred with that town! ”
The caravan leader said as he stood up slightly, took out a shield sitting under his butt, and signaled to Lake.
The surface of the shield was covered with deep sword marks.
"Did you see it? If I hadn't blocked a robber's knife with my shield, my head wouldn't be here now-"
The caravan leader raised his eyebrows at Lake, "Can your sword that looks like an ornament block such an attack?"
"If I can block it, will it..."
Lake didn't explain, but asked again, "Can you sell me a map?" "Tsk, little girl, you still don't understand. The wars they launched by crazy countries are even more terrifying than you think!
Now you have to look back, go back to your hometown and be a young lady quietly - this is the best choice. ”
The caravan leader glared, raised his hand again, and pointed at a man more than two meters tall in the camp.
The man was muscular on his upper body and was wearing armored pants on his lower body.
He bent down, and his palms were as big as a palm fan, and he grabbed a rock. The muscles of his arm were thicker. With a roar, he lifted the huge rock up and showed his arm strength.
The other caravan guards beside him also shouted loudly and clapped their hands.
"Did you see it? That's the strongest guard in our caravan. One person can fight five or six well-armed players!"
The caravan leader showed a hint of pride in his eyes and looked at Lake again, "You are only as high as his waist, what can you survive?"
But our caravan has such strength, but we still decided to leave.
This is because those countries in the war have gone crazy, and the power they use is definitely beyond your imagination—
That is absolutely irresistible to mortals!
Don’t think about seeing them, because when you see those countries exerting the power of destruction, you will find that even the hope of living has become tiny! ”
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"The power of destruction?"
Lake was stunned for a moment, and after hearing the last words of the caravan commander, she asked, "What is that?"
"The king of the Sri Kingdom, one man and one horse, slaughtered thousands of armored soldiers in less than a moment, leaving no survivor behind to witness how he did it.
And this Sri Kingdom is one of the two belligerent countries you encountered when you go to Goethe Kingdom!
In the other countries farther away, most of the people who are still alive now have mastered the power that is beyond the reach of ordinary people—
There is a kingdom that has built steel warships flying in the sky.
The king of the kingdom drives the demon dog of hell.
And magic is no longer a mysterious thing for those powerful countries that survived the war!
Little girl, don’t think that having a sword in your hand is a strong man! ”
The caravan leader waved his hand, as if he was a little tired, waved his hand, took out a roll of map from the servant beside him, expanded it and looked at it,
"Average person, even if you are fully armed, you are still an ordinary person."
After checking the map in his hand, the caravan leader slowly rolled it up again and handed it to Lake, "Miss, I advised you because of your wine."
Don't lose your life for small profits, it's impossible to buy it.
The map is given to you. If you are seeking death, go by yourself—”
Lake took the map and said thank you in a low voice.
The last words of the caravan leader made her put away her contempt.
Although she has mastered her power now, she would never be able to kill thousands of armored soldiers in less than an hour!
Looking at Lake accepting the map, he was about to leave. The caravan leader thought for a while and said, "
"Little girl, you can rest at our camp tonight and consider it."
The caravan leader looked at the sky and continued, "If you want to walk in, it will be a war zone. The night is not safe."
"Uh, thank you sir."
Lake smiled and stopped. She and Poluo had not intended to stay in the camp, but now it seems that the leader of the caravan, although he looks a bit arrogant, is indeed a kind person.
"Well, if there was no war, my daughter would probably be about the same age as you now."
The caravan leader's eyes flashed with gloomy, and he continued:
"Don't worry, the guards of my caravan are all good men, you can rest tonight-"
But at this moment, a loud whistle sounded from the darkness outside the caravan, interrupting the words of the caravan leader!
Lake and Polo looked in the direction of the sound.
Not far away, a caravan patrol soldier riding a horse was coming in anxiously—
"It's the Bru! It's the Bru - alert! Police -"
The caravan guard shouted loudly as he waved his arms.
In the camp, whether it was a civilian or other caravan guards, who had just rested, had already held their armor, swords and guns in their hands after hearing the whistle.
Then, he began to put on his armor in a hurry.
"What? Is it a Bru?!"
The caravan leader who was about to return to the camp also widened his eyes at this time, and several guards stepped forward and guarded him up.
He also held his shield in his hand.
For a moment, everyone was on guard, but Poluo and Lek still keenly saw that each of them showed a panic from the inside out.
Their hands holding the weapons were trembling and they were talking.
"Shouldn't those Bru people be fighting the Sri Kingdom?! Why...why are they here!?"
"Bad bastards, they must be rebels in the Kingdom of Bru!"
"God bless them, they are just passing by..."
"Maybe I've read it wrong, maybe it's just some wandering robbers. They dare not touch the caravans of such a large number..."
The caravan leader glanced at Lake, and his carelessness in his previous chat had already restrained himself, and he explained to Lake briefly:
"The Kingdom of Bru is the country that is fighting against the Kingdom of Sri.
But they are about to destroy the country... If their army appears here, it must be a defecting army.
But such an army poses the greatest threat to ordinary people! ”
After saying that, the caravan leader began to look at the dark forest not far away without saying a word.
The caravan whistle guard holding a torch was approaching sharply—
The shaking flames illuminated his face, which was twisted by horror.
Nearer!
The sound of horse hooves is closer!
Everyone in the camp could clearly see the face of the whistle being shining due to sweat.
"Uh--"
But the next moment, the whistle suddenly let out a muffled groan!
In front of everyone, his body stopped and rolled onto the ground with his men and horses!
Blood spilled out of his mouth and nose—
Everyone saw it clearly. Just a few seconds ago, on the chest of the whistle, a black crossbow arrow penetrated his body!
"What's going on!?"
"Who is it-"
Under the horrified eyes of everyone in the camp.
Not far away, a silvery outline appeared in the shadow of the woods, and their figures became clear, a team of cavalry, with gray armor surfaces, with interlaced scratches, and rich reddish-brown blood.
The leader had no face armor on his helmet.
His bloodthirsty face with scars was exposed, and he sneered.
Behind him, more weapons shook the shadows.
A broken flag spread out decayedly, with a blue crown painted on it - that is the emblem of the Kingdom of Bru.
