Chapter 49 Ambush
Cargill and his team were slow to move. It took several days before they finally arrived near the town.
Leader Hadley Jacob stopped by the road and cheered the rest of the people: "Okay, we are not far from the town, we will be able to go back soon, everyone will work harder."
Although four days are not long, it is indeed more difficult to trek in the snow. Fortunately, they brought the small and small greens with them, and the strength of the small and small greens is particularly outstanding. Although the carriage is inconvenient in the snow, it is safe to walk with the small and small greens.
They did not use sleds, which was also a mistake.
Hadley was about to continue moving forward, suddenly Daqing shouted and stopped. Daqing stopped, and even Xiaoqing stopped.
Hadley frowned and walked over and asked Cargill, "What's going on? Why did you stop?"
Cargill was also confused: "I don't know either."
He came up to Daqing's side, trying to comfort Daqing.
Daqing was quite anxious at this time, and kept raising his head and shouting at Cargill, "Moo~moo~moo~" made people feel upset.
Hadley felt a little impatient, picked up his whip and walked over and waved his hand to whip Daqing.
However, as soon as he raised his hand, Cargill hurriedly came up to stop him: "Captain, don't do it. This cow belongs to my brother. He seems to have a strong bloodline and a bad temper. If it gets a mess, we may not be able to continue leaving today."
He was actually afraid that Daqing would make trouble and the captain could not beat him. Although he had never seen Daqing take action, according to Cargill, he was afraid that no one in the entire lord's mansion was Daqing's opponent, and Hadley would be no exception.
Hadley didn't know how strong Daqing was. After being stopped by Cargill, although he was a little dissatisfied, he was afraid that Daqing's bull's temper would rise. It would be okay if it was an ordinary bull, but Daqing could do whatever he wanted, but Daqing was a mage's cow, so he didn't dare to deal with it at will.
He put down the whip, but he still cursed indignantly: "If this were my own cow, I would have killed the meat long ago. What's the use of a disobedient cow?"
He only dared to find some advantage in words and did not dare to really take action.
Cargill was confused about why Big and Big Qing was like this, but he heard from his brother that Da Qing had extraordinary bloodlines. Did he find out what he found?
He looked at the surrounding environment carefully. There was a small hill in front of him. The hillside was covered with trees, and now it was covered with snow. But when Cargill looked carefully, he saw the clues. There were slight traces of cleaning on the snow. It seemed that someone had swept the snow to cover up his footprints. Moreover, there was less snow on the branches on the hillside, and there was more falling on the ground than on other places.
Moreover, the surroundings seemed particularly quiet. At this time, we should have heard the sound of birds singing. The heavy snowy days drove all the birds out, and it was time to find food everywhere.
"Captain, is there something wrong here?"
Cargill told Hadley about his discovery. Hadley looked at Cargill suspiciously, then looked at the small hill he pointed to. After a closer look, he found out that Cargill had just said suspiciously, and saw more things. Someone was hiding on the hillside.
He didn't realize it just now, mainly because he didn't realize this. Cyberling has always been safe. There were no large groups of thieves nearby. Moreover, it was snowing now, so he didn't expect that someone would come to ambush his group of people.
In the nearby area, Sainthbury is quite prestigious. There are not many robbers who have come to fight against Sainbool in recent years. Sainbool is the richest territory nearby, but everyone who comes has become a deserted tomb.
"Beware." Hadley immediately issued an order. When he heard the order, everyone immediately took action, lined the grain trucks into a row of seating barriers, facing the direction of the hillside.
Seeing that Hadley and the others were on guard, the people who were originally hiding on the mountain had no patience, and immediately rushed out on horseback, occupying the small hill.
The leader took a few steps forward and said to Hadley: "I didn't expect you to be quite alert. You are worthy of being the best knights in Cyber. If you keep the food truck, I will let you go."
Hadley ignored the other party's praise and said, "Who are you? You dare to intercept the grain transport team led by Saiper. Our young master is the deputy commander of the Provincial Knights Order. Even if you rob the grain truck, do you think you can escape the revenge of the Knights Order?"
Hadley did not dare to underestimate the other party, nor did he have the confidence to say that he could retreat in a few words. Although the people on the other side were not as elite as his, the number of people was far greater than that of him. When he really fought, Hadley felt very dangerous.
“This is not something you need to care about.”
As he said that, the other party stepped forward and took a few more steps, then suddenly waved his hand and drank: "Kill!"
Halfway through his words, he led his men to charge towards Hadley. He had no intention of letting the other party drop the grain truck and retreating directly. And even if the other party really gave up the grain truck, he would not be able to let the other party go.
I just said so much, just to make the other party relax a little.
Hadley had not relaxed at all. As soon as he saw the other party start charging, he immediately organized the people on his side to deal with it. Although the other party rushed down the hillside, Hadley also had food trucks as a barrier, so he did not lose much for a while.
Cargill sat on the back of the horse and took out a small crossbow from his body. After he was turned on the string, he gave the leader who was running in the front an arrow. Unfortunately, the other party was very agile and he lowered his head and avoided the arrow shot. However, the person behind him was not so lucky and was immediately shot off the horse by the crossbow arrow.
Hadley looked at Cargill in surprise. In the eyes of young people like them, they generally don’t like crossbows, and they will be considered a manifestation of lack of chivalrous spirit. It’s like two people fighting one-on-one, and you take out a pistol and break the person without saying a word. This is definitely not fair.
However, as an old knight who has been on the battlefield, Hadley is not so narrow-minded. On the battlefield, of course, he uses whatever is easy to use, and using a crossbow is nothing at all.
Most of the fair competitions are about the arena competitions and people who are also noble knights.
Although Cargill's crossbow is very small, the force of the arrows shot out is very strong. This was specially made by Jiayi for him to defend himself. In addition to using the eccentric wheel, he also enchanted it. If the opponent's leader had not avoided it, they would have won half of it now.
The opponent was very fast. After Cargill shot an arrow, he didn't have time to shoot the second arrow. The opponent had already arrived in front of him. Cargill quickly hung the crossbow on the back of the horse, then picked up the long sword at his hand and prepared to charge.
The leader on the opposite side seemed very dissatisfied with Cargill shooting him just now. He did not come to Hadley, but instead came straight towards Cargill.
Originally, Hadley was next to Cargill, but just when Cargill shot out the crossbow arrow, Hadley also took his people to charge. The Knights rely on speed the most. If they don't rush up the speed, they will be half of it.
Fortunately, the opponent was stopped by the grain truck at the speed of rushing uphill, and then Cargill and the others were about to fall into a disadvantage before they could fight.
Originally, when Hadley rushed out, he thought the leader on the other side would come to him directly, but unexpectedly, the other party had no idea at all. He took a turn and headed straight for Cargill.
Hadley was entangled by the other robbers, who wanted to support him but couldn't get rid of him for a while. Although these robbers were average in strength, they were numerous and powerful.
Cargill looked at the horses rushing towards him quickly and tightly grasped the sword in his hand. He was very nervous. Although he performed very well in training, it was his first time to go to the battlefield, and he was facing the strongest robber leader.
