The road weeds fell down, and two deep ruts were embedded in it. Black blood dripped from the grass blades, and two horrible corpses fell to the ground.
The corpse was chopped and dismembered like a vent of anger, and the head and torso were rotten. Surrounded by the random footprints left by being trampled on, it stretches to the edge of the woods on the road.
A heavy-duty carriage fell among the dead branches and leaves of the woods. The carriage was split, the cargo inside was torn indiscriminately, scattered all over the floor, and the valuable and convenient things were gone.
Adrian frowned and stared at the messy ground, imagining the battle that had taken place here.
This is a bend through the birch forest, the edge of the forest is covered with wildflowers and weeds. When the vehicle reached a curve, it would definitely slow down, and the gangster lying in the grass took the opportunity to launch an attack.
The roads in the north are unstable, 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-scale fleet and high prices, making it easier to be targeted by gangs and paying more attention to security.
The culprits attacked a convoy of a dozen heavy-duty carriages. After the leader is broken, the vehicle is specially armed, with thick carriages, and the escorts can use this as a fortress to resist an attack.
In order to resist possible field attacks, the escort team is equipped with heavy crossbows and heavy armor, and is extremely well equipped. Ordinary bandits have nothing to do with them, and a rash attack will only leave corpses all over the floor.
Judging from the battle scene in front of him, there are more than fifteen corpses. The escort team was very calm after the attack and did not suffer much loss in the beginning.
"This is not a group of ordinary gangsters." Adrian carefully inspected the carriage carriage that was dumped on the side of the road, and the thick carriage body showed signs of slashing with enchanted weapons.
Two people were killed in the attacked transport convoy, and more than ten people were injured. Others found that something was wrong, and drove away in a carriage.
According to the description of the convoy personnel, the leading armed wagon issued a warning signal, and the whole convoy resisted. However, a few powerful adventurers appeared and broke their defenses abruptly.
Facing a powerful enemy, the leading armed carriage tried to force a breakthrough, but was stopped by a fallen tree trunk ahead. A freight wagon at the back tried to dodge and crashed into the grass on the side of the road.
Two escorts were killed in the chaos. Their armor was stripped and their bodies were insulted. Fortunately, the loss of personnel is not significant. The following vehicle turned around and ran away.
"The leading armed carriage was robbed. Someone is provoking us!" Adrian turned around and returned to the road.
A dozen people gathered around the road.
There are human rangers, orc warriors, halfling wanderers, plagued priests, specialized wizards, and even half-elf archers.
This team is generally level four or five, capable of fighting and fighting, tracking and hunting, with the best equipment, intelligence and logistics, and can take convenient transportation to any place around 50 kilometers in a day.
This is to deal with the endless emergence of public security issues, Zhou Qingfeng recruited a "special weapon and tactical team" in Coldwind City, specifically to deal with difficult problems.
These people can gain Zhou Qingfeng's trust because they don't all come for money. Many people are out of faith, or hate the Northland nobles, or they like to take risks.
In short..., 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 happened yesterday afternoon, and the bandits fled west.
If we move faster, we can kick their ass tonight and teach those bastards severely. As for the provocateurs, they should be given a heavy blow. "
There are two wizards in the team, one necromantic and one alchemy. For this action, Mondino, the chief Necromancer, joined the team.
This rickety bone frame has recently been promoted to the eighth level. The staff in his hand has changed, the black robe he wears has been changed, his strength has doubled, and his momentum is flourishing.
He cast a spell to question the souls of the dead and the ghosts in the woods, and came to the same conclusion.
"There are more than 30 gangsters and miscellaneous fish. It is not difficult to deal with. As for the provocateurs, there are probably five to ten, and the strength is not low. It should be the Long-legged family in the south."
The orcs in the team sat on a rock by the side of the road, holding the big axe in his hand and happily said, "Is not low in strength? I like opponents who are not low in strength. I just use them to try my alloy steel axe."
"Stop talking nonsense. Go on."
Adrian raised his hand to look at the mechanical watch. After he stepped on his horse, he took out the map drawn by the caravan from his rucksack. "There are more than a dozen villages and towns to the west, the largest is Green Valley Town. I bet the culprits must be there waiting for us. "
The ranger rode forward and shouted: "Take down the chaos, I will be the vanguard."
The horse hooves stepped and the horse's head neighed.
The halfling rogue sprang out from the side of the road, laughed and jumped on the horseback of the Ranger, and walked with him. Others also got on their horses and followed suit.
At this moment, the town of Green Valley is already in a miasma.
The town gate was burnt to black, the dead residents had not yet been collected, and blood stains still existed on the ground.
The gangsters broke into the town and took some women and children as hostages, forcing the residents of the town to provide food and drinks. They sent people to guard at the door of the hotel, yelling and cursing.
The mayor did not dare to come forward, so he could only send the threatened residents to listen to the gangsters' orders. The whole town can hear the laughter of men and the screams of women from the hotel.
But apart from grief and anger, the town of more than a thousand people is helpless.
Because those gangsters are the subordinates of the long-legged elders-nobles often take their orders by allowing looting to gather bandit and villains.
This is a low-cost "recruitment" method. The possible enemy looted may also be his own territory.
If looting is not allowed, the gangsters will immediately counterattack.
When Sir Exxon appeared in the town on a tall horse, the people in the town habitually expressed obedience. The mayor rushed to greet him and expressed his willingness to provide any convenience.
The Long-legged family has ruled Coldwind City for too long, and people who have been in the territory for a long time dare not have any resistance to the noble master. The name alone is enough to make the residents of the town afraid to move and get what they want.
What did Sir Alex say, what did they listen to. What do Sir Alex want, what do they give. In the face of the gangsters, the people in the town are still thinking about how to rescue their families.
But when Exxon led the team out and said that he would punish the Arad family in Green Valley Town, the residents of the town could only kneel and kowtow. Even if they worship their wives and daughters, they can only accept their fate.
In front of Sir Alex Ferguson's horseshoe, several heads were banging against the ground. The mayor was begging for forgiveness loudly, completely ignoring that this disaster had nothing to do with him.
Exxon's gloomy face sneered, and the knights who followed him were silently cold, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Hahaha..., Sir Exxon turned his head in laughter, and said to the young knight following: "Tias, do you now understand why we are noble
You are from our long-legged family, and there is noble blood in your body. You don't need to care how the ants under your feet survive. As long as you stand here, they have to listen to you.
You see, isn't this good? We came back, they knelt down and recovered as usual. "
In Sir Alex Ferguson's laughter, the young knight lowered his head and said that he had retracted his previous remarks. Right in front of him, the manager of the town knelt down like a puppet, without any intention of rebelliousness.
"Provide us with shelter and servants, everything must be the best." Exxon rode his horse by with his head held high, unwilling to look at the residents kneeling in front of his horse's hoof.
As for the gangsters who invaded the hotels in the town and acted recklessly, they were even more lawless and lost any control. They take what they want and do what they want.
The residents of the town can only endure it by hiding at home, even crying silently.
When it got dark, the team led by Adrian galloped for more than ten kilometers and appeared outside the town. The night wind blows the crying and sadness in the town, and the lights illuminate the helplessness and panic of the residents.
"Here." The ranger who led the way showed cold eyes in the night, "We will do justice again and let order suppress chaos."
