The mercenaries next to him were all alarmed, and someone had already gone to drag him away. Then I heard a whistle, and in the dark night, Toya's deep voice sounded: "Take up the shield, everyone be on alert! Don't panic! Gather people first!!"
The people in this caravan are also used to traveling north and south. When camping in this small oasis, it was quite rigorous. The hundred camels, pack horses, and hundreds of large boxes were all surrounded in a circle. A suggested defensive circle is formed. Even if you encounter a sudden attack, you will not be rushed in by the enemy suddenly.
At this time, the sound of horseshoes sounded in the distance. Presumably those attacking people slowed down at first, approached quietly, and only started charging when they got close. These horse bandits in the desert are indeed tough. In the distance, a row of torches suddenly lit up in the darkness. Du Wei clearly saw that there were two teams of horse bandits galloping from outside, east and north at the same time, and ran around the caravan's defensive circle quickly, because he saw clearly that the other party had a good way of setting up camp. He didn't charge hard, but ran around the camp first.
Then I heard Toya's stern voice shouting: "Brothers, pick up your shields! Everyone else hide behind me!
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a buzzing sound, a buzzing sound came from outside. There was a crackling sound in the air. The opponent really shot an arrow.
This round of arrow rain shot over. Immediately, a few screams were heard from the camp. Although the mercenaries were all well-trained and raised their shields, there were still some members of the caravan hiding behind the boxes who were injured by Liu Ya. Seeing that the surprise attack failed, the two teams of horse bandits had joined together. After shooting two consecutive waves of arrow rain, he retreated quickly with a howl.
The sound of hooves, the caravan in the camp. Everyone's color changed, even Toya's complexion was a little ugly. Because judging from the movement of the horseshoes, there are at least five hundred people on the other side!
Five hundred horse bandits, this is quite a lot in the desert. On my own side, there are less than 300 people in the caravan, and the only ones who can fight are Toya and his about 50 mercenaries. In addition, although the young and strong in the caravan are not weak, they are after all Ordinary people are mostly useless when they encounter those stubborn horse bandits.
Those people in the caravan at the moment. Everyone's face was pale, and under the light of the torches outside, everyone's face was pale.
"Damn! It's really evil when I go out! It's just a caravan. How did it attract such a large group of horse bandits!" Toya cursed. The opponent is ready. Those camels and boxes formed a circle around them, and their own people could not use their horsepower to rush into this protective circle. After two salvos of bows and arrows, they retreated far away, and in the night, they heard hundreds of horse bandits shouting loudly and screaming.
Toya quickly rushed to the front, and when he looked around, he saw the opponent's torches shaking, and hundreds of horse bandits holding sabers on their horses. The knife is sharp. It dazzles the eyes.
"Listen, people inside! Quickly move out of the box! Our leader said, call out the goods, and let you live!!"
A loud shout came from the horse bandits. Then here Toya has stood up from behind the box. There was some sweat on his forehead, and he opened his voice and shouted loudly: "Which way are you from outside? I am Toya from Desert Fox! Please tell me your name!"
A disdainful voice came from a distance, the voice was extremely sharp, and he laughed loudly: "Tuoya? It turns out that he is a member of your Desert Fox Mercenary Corps! Hmph, be obedient, we only want money and not human life!"
Toya regained his composure, and said loudly, "Are you from the Red Snake? We, the Desert Fox, have some friendship with your Red Snake's leader, Mr. Sand Wolf!"
The "Red Snake" that Toya said is the largest group of horse bandits near here, and that sand wolf is the leader of this group of horse bandits. In the past two days, it is this "Red Snake" that has made everyone vigilant. Who knows what is getting more and more afraid, but they still meet these guys.
Toya originally wanted to make friends with the other party. After all, it is impossible to do this kind of guard work by purely brute force. Traveling north and south, it is impossible to rely on fighting and killing everywhere. Otherwise, how can there be no casualties in fighting and killing? No matter how big the mercenary group was, if they just blindly killed them, they might die in less than half a year. The same is true for horse bandits.
Most of the time, in this industry, some "hidden rules" are mostly used. When encountering each other, everyone first establishes friendship. If they can reach an agreement, they can simply pay some protection fees, and then they each leave. When encountering some large mercenary groups with strong reputations, as long as they show their background, some small horse bandits are unwilling to provoke them, and they often retreat after saying a few words.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, everyone is not willing to really tear their faces apart. After all, the mercenary group also has quite good strength. If everyone becomes deeply enmity, and encounters revenge from a large-scale mercenary group in the future, the horse bandits will not be able to stand it.
But this time, Toya miscalculated the snake and was already dead! As for that sand wolf, our leader had already beheaded him! Toya, it's impossible to make friends! You obediently ask people to come out and hand over the goods! "
Not Red Snake
Toya was stunned. Could it be another group of horse bandits
But have you heard of any new and powerful horse bandits on this road? Moreover, according to the meaning of the other party's words, even the famous Red Snake Horse Bandit was wiped out by this group of people? Looking at the strength of the opponent, five hundred people can be dispatched at a time, which is obviously very strong.
When did such a group of people appear in the desert? !
Toya was stunned for a while, and the other party became a little impatient, and heard the sharp voice shouting loudly: "Tuoya! Do you want to kill or live, tell me quickly! Today's batch of goods We are determined to win! Don't say you are a small desert fox, even if you encounter the snow wolf mercenary group, I will not pay attention to it!"
After finishing speaking, under the signal of the horse bandit, hundreds of horse bandits under him shouted at the same time. The saber was brandished, and some people threatened and cursed loudly: "Stop talking nonsense! Open it and grab it!"
"If you don't surrender, kill them all!"
"Haha! Kill all the men and leave only the women!!"
Toya's heart sank, and he took a deep breath. After all, he is also a mercenary who lives on the edge of the blade. At this time, he also knew that he was at the point of desperately. He took a deep breath and was about to order his opponent's subordinates to prepare to fight desperately.
Suddenly, I heard a clear and cold voice from behind.
"Who said just now that all men will be killed and only women will be left!"
call!
A gust of wind rushed past Toya, and Toya felt his eyes dazzled, and saw a white figure rushing out of his side like a whirlwind. The speed was so fast that even three Even a super samurai couldn't see the opponent's movements clearly!
This lightning-like figure rushed into the queue of horse bandits in an instant. These horse bandits didn't seem to have expected such a strong man to come forward. I heard a scream...
puff! A flash of blood shot into the sky, and a figure flew directly into the sky from the horse's back, and finally fell heavily on the ground, with blood spurting from the mouth, and it seemed that he was dead!
Qiao Qiao stood in the queue of horse thieves, with an indifferent face, holding a saber in his hand, it belonged to the poor guy who spoke so rudely just now!
The horse thieves were shocked at first, and then they reacted immediately, and someone immediately shouted: "Kill! Kill her!"
More than a dozen sabers came over one after another, Qiao Qiao snorted coldly, a gleam of coldness burst out in her eyes, and a bright cold light suddenly burst out in her hand!
There was a crisp sound of jingling, and the dozen or so horse thieves who had shot just now flew out screaming. On the ground, a dozen broken sabers were thrown all over the place. All the horse thieves who flew out, after falling to the ground, spurted blood from their mouths, and couldn't get up again!
The horse thieves were stunned, and immediately heard someone screaming: "Duqi! That's fighting spirit!"
Seeing that such a white-clothed woman casually displayed the fighting spirit that symbolizes high-level warriors, she rushed into the crowd of horse thieves in an instant, and killed more than a dozen people with every gesture. The remaining horse thieves couldn't help but lose their momentum. The leader immediately reacted: "Don't worry about it, she's just alone! Let's go together
With an order, many horse thieves immediately aroused Biaohan's blood, and rushed over in a swarm.
"Looking for death!" Qiao Qiao snorted coldly. The annoyance of being chased and killed by Luo Xue these days really burst out all at once.
When Du Wei met Qiao Qiao for the first time, this violent woman dared to rush into the imperial barracks alone, let alone a gang of horse thieves
Seeing that the swords around were bright and sharp, and they greeted him one after another, Qiao Qiao was unafraid, and even had a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Toya, who was standing in the caravan's defensive circle, opened his mouth wide. He didn't expect that after being with him for so many days, this beautiful girl who looks silent and delicate, and doesn't talk much, is actually a warrior who has mastered fighting spirit! Thinking of this, Toya, who claimed to be sophisticated, wanted to slap himself twice!
Now that he clearly saw that "Harry Potter" was a person with a lot of background, why didn't he expect that he had no support, so how dare the two of them venture into the desert alone!
Under Toya's shocking eyes, he saw Qiao Qiao surrounded by horses and bandits, suddenly a dazzling light burst out from his whole body! It was clearly the strong vindictiveness of a high-ranking warrior shining, and then a loud "boom" was heard!
Surrounded by Qiao Qiao, a ball of light burst out suddenly, so that people couldn't look directly at it, and then amidst the roar, countless horse bandits flew out directly to the back, a round air visible to the naked eye The waves swept out towards the surroundings, like a shock wave, and immediately the horse bandits turned their backs.
After a while, I saw only Qiao Qiao standing in the middle, and there were countless people lying on the ground around her, moaning and rolling, and horses running around...
The rest of the horse bandits were terrified. Although they are tough, but after all, the strength of the eighth-level fighters is not something that this kind of mob can contend head-on!
The leader of the horse bandit was already pale. Looking at Qiao Qiao, and at the men around him who were cowering back, he felt overwhelmed, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and charge forward with his saber straightened out.
With the momentum of the horse, since this guy can be the leader. After all, there are still some skills. Qiao Qiao stood there, seeing this lifeless guy charge over on horseback, with a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth. But standing still, waiting for the opponent to rush to the front...
brush!
The blade slashed towards Jojo. But in the eyes of this horse bandit leader, Qiao Qiao who was standing there seemed to have disappeared from his knife suddenly. The next moment, he felt that he was suddenly hit in the chest by a huge force, and his mouth was sweet, and he jumped. With a bang, a stream of blood spurted out suddenly. Then he saw Qiao Qiao leaping into the air. Grabbing his back gently, he lifted him off the horse and threw him on the ground. The guy was still struggling, and Jojo stepped up and stepped on his chest. He looked coldly at the gang of horse thieves in front of him: "Who else?"
Watching this terrifying woman kill dozens of companions in such a short time. The method was so fierce that it was almost like destroying the dead, and while one side lost so many people, it didn't even hurt a single hair of the other side...
No matter how tough a horse bandit is, he is not a fool after all. The huge gap in strength is obvious, and no one is willing to step forward to die.
I don't know who yelled "Run!"
With a buzzing sound, a pot exploded in the crowd, and the gang of horse bandits shouted loudly, most of them turned their horses around. Run away towards the back. And there are many others. But he didn't care about the direction, and fled in all directions.
Seeing the horse bandits crumbling, the many mercenaries hiding in the defensive circle immediately boiled with joy. These mercenaries rushed out one after another. There are also those who escaped the caravan.
Toya immediately rushed in front of Qiao Qiao, gave Qiao Qiao the most solemn etiquette among warriors, and respectfully said: "My dear lady... ah no, Your Excellency Warrior! Please forgive me for this God..."
Qiao Qiao ignored him, just nodded to him, grabbed the captive horse bandit leader, crossed Toya, strode towards the camp, and came in front of Du Wei.
The leader had passed out just now, and now he was thrown to the ground forcefully by Jojo, and he woke up in pain again. Seeing that he had fallen into the opponent's hands, a gloomy look flashed across his face, but he suddenly shouted: : "Hmph! Don't be complacent, our big boss will come later and will definitely kill you!"
Du Wei laughed and said, "Oh?"
He squatted down, looked at this tough guy, and sighed: "You have a hard mouth... As a horse thief, since you were caught, you should have a sense of death. Tell me, how can such a small caravan Will be watched by you?"
Du Wei also found it strange that although there were horse thieves in the desert, the caravan seemed small, with only a hundred pack horses, and it was a rare thing that it could attract hundreds of horse thieves to attack.
But this guy was very stubborn, snorted, and closed his eyes: "Give me a good time! Our big boss will come after you in a day at most! Don't think you are a female warrior, as long as you meet our boss The leader is also a dead end!"
Seeing that this guy looked very stubborn, Du Wei didn't bother to talk nonsense with this little character, so he kicked him unconscious and handed him over to the mercenaries of Desert Fox.
But in this way, everyone in the caravan knew how powerful Du Wei and Qiao Qiao were, and the way people around them looked at them was naturally quite different.
The mercenaries of the Desert Fox were busy cleaning up the battlefield. Although Qiao Qiao showed her power just now, she didn't kill anyone. Under her fighting spirit, most of the horse thieves injured by her just lost their limbs or vomited blood. internal injury.
The leader of the caravan immediately ran over to thank Du Wei, but Du Wei didn't bother to pay attention, so he dealt with it calmly and went back to the tent directly. On the contrary, Du Wei seemed a little impatient and didn't dare to disturb him.
After a while, Du Wei and Qiao Qiao were discussing in the tent and were about to leave the caravan and go on their own way. At this time, they heard Toya's respectful voice from outside.
"You two... I'm Toya, I have something to discuss with the two of you, I don't know..."
Du Wei still has a good impression of this enthusiastic mercenary—in fact, Du Wei has always had a good impression of the mercenary industry. The influence of the samurai.
"Please come in." Du Wei smiled slightly.
Toya came in obediently, but was stopped by Du Wei when he was about to salute: "Mr. Toya, you are welcome. Is there anything else you can do with us?"
Seeing that this mercenary man seemed to be hesitant, his expression was not at all relaxed as if he had escaped tonight, but instead looked a little more dignified, as if he had encountered some extremely difficult problem.
Du Wei smiled slightly: "Mr. Toya, thank you for your care along the way, I appreciate your kindness very much. So, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, as long as I can help, I will do my best. "
After receiving Du Wei's promise, Toya breathed a sigh of relief. He collected himself, then turned around and shouted to the two subordinates outside: "Stay outside, don't let anyone approach this tent!"
Seeing that Toya was so solemn, Du Wei couldn't help feeling a little curious.
"Mr. Harry Potter." Toya sighed, and said in a deep voice: "My two men just now interrogated a few captured horse bandits, and then they learned something that surprised me..."
It turned out that after a short interrogation just now, I got a piece of news that surprised Toya. The identities of the two horse bandits were interrogated, mainly to find out where these horse bandits came from and which power in the desert they belonged to. But the answer he got was a little weird.
According to the confessions of several prisoners, they all belonged to different horse bandit organizations a few months ago, some were from the east of the desert, some were from the west of the desert, and they came from different horse bandit gangs, large and small.
And just a few months ago, a strange new force appeared in the desert. It is said that there was an extremely capable master who, with his own power, subdued a small group of horse bandits that were originally small, and then in a short period of time In just two months, they swept across the central part of the desert and subdued all the five or six horse bandits in the surrounding area! Even the largest group of horse bandits here, the "Red Snake" that Toya was worried about before, was wiped out, and the boss of the Red Snake, Sand Wolf, was easily killed by that mysterious master!
In the end, a large desert bandit gang with a size of about 3,000 people was formed. Moreover, it is said that this group of horse bandits has some faint and secret contacts with some big tribes on the grassland.
"Oh, is this the thing?" Du Wei listened and reacted very coldly. It's just a group of horse bandits with 3,000 people. Of course, Du Wei lacks interest - besides, the desert is not Du Wei's territory, so it has nothing to do with him.
And then, Toya saw Du Wei's cold reaction, and made a second discovery that caught Du Wei's attention!
"The captives I interrogated just now... I was just wondering why such a caravan with only 200 people and not carrying too much goods could be targeted by such a large group of horse bandits. People, there is no need to send so many people."
"Yes, this is a suspicious point." Du Wei nodded.
"According to the confessions of the two horse bandits, their mission this time, in addition to robbing property, was confessed by the leader of the caravan before departure. In particular, they must catch the leader of the caravan and find the A secret letter. And... It is said that this matter is likely to be related to... and... "
Du Wei smiled and said kindly: "Mr. Toya, don't worry, just say what you have."
Toya gritted his teeth: "Maybe it has something to do with the Tulip family! Maybe someone wants to harm the Tulip family!"
