Chapter 0505 evil deeds
The road was beset by weeds, two deep ruts embedded in it. Black blood dripped from the grass leaves, and two terrible bodies fell to the ground.
The corpse was chopped and dismembered like anger, and the head and torso were partially rotten. There were random footprints left by trampling, extending to the edge of the woods on the road.
A heavy carriage fell among the dead branches and leaves of the woods. The carriage was split open, and the goods transported inside were torn and scattered all over the ground, and all the valuable and convenient things were gone.
Adrian frowned and stared at the messy ground, imagining the battle that had happened here.
This is a bend through a birch forest, with wild flowers and weeds growing on the edges. The vehicle must slow down when it reaches the bend, and the bandits ambushed in the grass took the opportunity to launch an attack.
The roads in the north are unstable, and bandits can be seen everywhere, and hungry refugees often launch death attacks. Any caravan emphasizes armed escort during transportation.
The "Harmony Chamber of Commerce" has a large fleet and high cargo prices, which makes it easier to be targeted by bandits and pay more attention to security.
The bandits attacked a convoy of more than a dozen heavy carriages. The vehicles leading the rear were specially armed, with thick carriages, and the escorts could use this as a fortress to resist when attacked.
In order to resist possible field attacks, the escort team was equipped with heavy crossbows and heavy armor, and was extremely well-equipped. Ordinary bandits had no choice but to deal with them, and rash attacks would only leave corpses all over the ground.
Judging from the battle scene in front of you, there were more than fifteen corpses left by the bandits. The escort team was very calm after being attacked and did not suffer much damage at the beginning.
"This is not a group of ordinary bandits." Adrian carefully checked the carriage carriage on the side of the road. There were traces left by enchanted weapons on the thick body.
Two people were killed in the attacked transport convoy and more than ten people were seriously injured. The others found that the situation was wrong, so they escaped in a carriage.
According to the description of the convoy personnel, the leading armed carriage sent a warning signal, and the entire convoy fought hard to resist. However, several powerful adventurers appeared and broke their defenses.
Facing a strong enemy, the leading armed carriage tried to break through forcibly, but was stopped by a tree trunk that fell from the front. A freight carriage in the back tried to dodge, but it crashed into the grass on the side of the road.
Two escort personnel were killed during the chaos. Their armor was stripped of their bodies and their bodies were insulted. Fortunately, the personnel were not damaged much. The vehicle turned around and ran away later.
"The leading armed carriage was robbed. Someone is provoking us!" Adrian turned around and returned to the road.
More than a dozen people gathered around the road.
There are human rangers, orc warriors, half-ling wanderers, epidemic priests, specialized wizards, and even a half-elf archer.
This team is generally of level 4 or 5. It can fight, resist, track and hunt, and has the best equipment, intelligence and logistics. It can take convenient transportation to anywhere in the surrounding 50 kilometers in one day.
This is to deal with the endless public security issues, the "special weapons and tactical teams" recruited by Zhou Qingfeng in Hanfeng City are specially used to deal with difficult problems.
The trust of these people in Zhou Qingfeng is that they do not come all for money. Many people either hate northern nobles out of faith, or like to take risks.
Anyway, they are strong enough.
The tall human ranger retrieved the corpse and the traces left on the ground and said in a deep voice: "The attack occurred yesterday afternoon, when the bandits fled west.
If we move faster, we can catch up with their butts tonight and teach those bastards a lesson. As for the provocateurs, we should give them a heavy blow."
There are two wizards in the team, one in the Necromantics and the other in the Alchemy. For this action, Mondino, the chief of the Necromantics who had been in office for a short time, joined the team.
This hunched bone frame has recently been promoted to level 8. The staff in his hand has changed, and the black robe has been replaced. His strength has doubled and his momentum is in full swing.
He casts a spell to ask the soul of the dead and the ghosts in the woods, and comes to the same conclusion.
"There are more than 30 bandits and fish, which is not difficult to deal with. As for the provocations, there are about five to ten, and their strength is not low. It should be the long-legged family in the south who took action."
The orcs in the team sat on a stone by the side of the road, holding the big axe in their hands and said happily: "I'm not weak? I like opponents with great strength, and I just used them to try my alloy steel axe."
"Stop talking nonsense. Get on the horse"
Adrian raised his hand to look at the mechanical watch, stepped on his horse and took out the map drawn by the caravan from his backpack, "There are more than a dozen villages and towns to the west, the largest one is Green Valley. I bet that the bandits must be waiting for us there."
The Ranger rode his horse forward and shouted loudly: "Stamp down the chaos, I will be the pioneer."
The horse's hooves tread and the horse's head neighed.
The half-length wanderer rushed out of the roadside, jumped onto the rogue's horse with a smile, and followed. Others also got on the horse and followed closely.
At this moment, Lugu Town was already in chaos.
The town gate was burned to charred, and the residents who died had not yet collected the burial, and blood was still left on the ground.
The bandits broke into the town and captured some women and children as hostages, forcing the residents of the town to provide food and wine. They sent people to guard the hotel door and kept shouting and cursing.
The mayor did not dare to stand up at all, so he could only send the threatened residents to wait for the bandits' orders. Everyone in the town could hear the laughter of men and the screams of women from the hotel.
But apart from grief and anger, the town with more than a thousand people has nothing to do.
Because those bandits were subordinates of the long-legged masters often used permission to gather bandits and villains to obey them.
This is a low-cost way to recruit soldiers. The robbery may be an enemy or his own territory.
If robbery is not allowed, the bandits will immediately backfire.
When Lord Exxon appeared in the town on a tall horse, the people of the town habitually expressed obedience. The mayor rolled and crawled to greet him, expressing his willingness to provide any convenience.
The Changle Family ruled Hanfeng City for too long, and people who had reached the territory for a long time did not dare to resist the nobles. Their name alone was enough to prevent the residents of the town from moving and asking for it.
What the Lord said, what they listened to. What the Lord wanted, what they gave. Facing the bandits, the people in the town were thinking about how to rescue their family.
But when Exxon led the team out and said he wanted to impose punishment for the Arad family in Green Valley Town, the residents of the town had to kneel down and kowtow. Even if they worshipped their wives and daughters, they could only accept their fate.
In front of the Lord's horse's hooves, several heads were hitting the ground with a bang. The mayor was praying for forgiveness loudly, completely ignoring the disasters that came from heaven had nothing to do with him. Computer::/
Exxon's gloomy face sneered, and the knights who followed him also turned cold, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Hahaha, Lord Exxon turned his head in laughter and said to the young knight following behind, "Tias, do you understand why we are noble now?
You are from our long-legged family, and you have noble blood flowing in your body. You don’t have to care about how the ants under your feet survive. As long as you stand here, they have to listen to you.
Look, isn't this good? We're back, they kneeled down and returned to normal."
Amid the Lord's laughter, the young knight lowered his head and expressed his resignation. Just before him, the manager of the town knelt down like a puppet, without any intention of disobedience.
"Give us a place and slaves, and everything is the best." Exxon rode his horse with his head held high, and was unwilling to take a look at the residents kneeling in front of his horse's hooves.
As for the bandits who invaded the hotels in the town, they were even more lawless and lost any control. They took whatever they wanted and did whatever they wanted.
The residents of the town could only hide at home and endure it, and even cried silently.
When it was dark, the team led by Adrian galloped for more than ten kilometers and appeared outside the town. The night wind blew the crying and sadness in the town, and the lights illuminated the helplessness and panic of the residents.
