However, what made Su Mu slightly disappointed was that the warriors of this world obviously did not have the habit of using fighting skills indiscriminately. During the entire escort journey, everyone just followed the carriage carefully and did not move in the slightest.
Even while Su Mu secretly observed others and focused on each person's actions.
An extremely abrupt voice suddenly appeared in Su Mu's ears:
"What are you looking at? Is there anything worth noting?"
Su Mu turned his head violently when he heard the sound, only to realize that at some point, a mercenary who was also a lone traveler had already approached him, and Su Mu hadn't even noticed the existence of the opponent.
Seeing that Su Mu was taken aback, the other party immediately apologized:
"Sorry, my name is Han Jun, and I am also a lone traveler who is not to be seen. I didn't mean to scare you just now. I just watched your eyes drifting in the crowd, so I was a little curious... Did you find out? What's interesting?"
While talking, the other side also stretched out his right hand in a friendly manner.
This kind of etiquette originated from Su Mu's original world, but it was not badly derived into the brain fantasy.
However, it wasn't until this moment that Su Mu finally saw the other side's appearance.
I saw that the other party was a young man, only about 20 years old. Since he was able to approach Su Mu's side silently, it meant that he also had at least Tier 3 strength.
When Su Mu saw this, he didn't show a slight difference, and replied with his usual expression:
"Actually, there is nothing, because this is the first time I have been hired, so I feel a little overwhelmed. I just want to see how other people prevent danger.
Obviously, there is no such thing as a wanderer level in Su Mu, and it is not a secret among mercenaries. Therefore, Su Mu did not hesitate and used this as a shield.
The young mercenary named Han Jun didn't have any doubt when he heard the words, and smiled again:
"It's not worth noting. Although this batch of goods does seem to be very valuable, there are so many mercenaries around. The bandits probably won't choose such a hard bone to chew. Not to mention you. The kid is actually smarter than most mercenaries, and he knows to hide at the end of the team."
While Han Jun was talking, he looked at Su Mu teasingly.
Obviously, Han Jun also knows very well that the end of the team is the most ideal safe position.
And after this brief exchange, Su Mu and Han Jun have clearly confirmed each other that the other party and themselves are both in the sequence of "smart people".
And smart people like them, not only don't have any intention to show off, but also don't fight for their lives for the goods in front of them.
So in an instant, the two had quickly reached a consensus, and they asked quietly almost in unison:
"What do you think the employer is hiding?"
…
Whether it is Su Mu or Han Jun, they are actually suspicious of the same problem now.
Because the employer of this task was simply too abnormal.
Although the use of better-performing tools to carry goods is understandable.
However, if you still use expensive horse-powered carriages on the premise of knowing that the goods are expensive and vulnerable to intrusion, it would seem too blatant anyway.
Even the old employer paid another 30% of the commission before departure, which was simply concealed, almost engraving the value of the goods on the trip.
And considering the true origin of those bandits, Su Mu was almost certain that the bandits must have already known this key message.
All the actions of that employer old man seemed to go against the premise that he did not want to be robbed.
Even to a certain extent, he almost seemed to have the opposite plan.
Therefore, at this time, Han Jun was looking at Su Mu's eyes seriously, and then slowly said his own guess: "Is it possible? Our employer is..."
…
Before Han Jun had finished speaking, a sharp and eager whistle whistle sounded back to the head of the entire team.
Su Mu and Han Jun searched after hearing the sound, and immediately found that the person blowing the whistle was the archer in the five-person team. He seemed to have discovered something abnormal, so he sent a warning for the first time.
And with the sound of this whistle, the group of horses ambushing by the side of the road looked hopeless for a surprise attack, and they did not hide their bodies at all, and immediately rushed toward the central Qi-powered carriage like a tide.
And as expected by Su Mu and Han Jun, the first to be hit in the raid were the lone soldiers standing on both sides of the carriage.
Fortunately, most of these mercenaries who dared to go on their own have good self-preservation skills.
At this moment, facing the tide of bandit attacks, although the lone walkers on the outermost periphery were fighting on their own, they did not immediately fall into the disadvantaged for a while.
And in this instant stalemate, the twin brothers at the center of the team and the fully equipped five-man team immediately showed their respective tyrannical strengths.
I saw the two brothers holding a hundred kilograms of warhammers, and they crashed into the bandit camp like savage bulls, and they didn’t even do any defense at all. They completely danced the sledgehammers to the wind, and the meat grinders were wantonly among the bandits. shuttle.
The five-person team on the other side was firmly guarded near the carriage. Any bandits who crossed the mercenary and wanted to attack the carriage were all neatly beheaded by them.
In just a few moments, even Su Mu and Han Jun, who were at the end of the team, had not been able to pretend to join the confrontation, and the bandits had already retreated and fled in horror.
An inexplicable ambush, in this even more inexplicable turning point, ushered in such a stunned ending.
…
"It seems that your guess is undoubtedly correct."
Although Han Jun hadn't had time to finish that guess before a moment. But it was clear that Su Mu already knew the content of the speculation.
Even the extremely strange attack in front of him confirmed the reasonableness of that speculation.
"We have only set off for half a day. Obviously, it is difficult to predict our movements in time. And if someone has been watching us long ago, we won't dare to attack just by gathering bandits of this quality. So about this group of bandits. There is actually only one explanation for the arrival of and why they are so vulnerable."
Su Mu looked deeply at the driver on the Qi-powered carriage, and then slowly turned his head, and said in a deep voice to Han Jun beside him:
"Our employer, he really used this shipment as bait, and took the initiative to inform the nearby robbers of our whereabouts. At the same time, he also concealed the level of these mercenaries recruited. The purpose is … Let those low-level bandits keep coming, and spread our journey further through the mouths of these routers."
If something goes wrong, there must be something strange.
The abnormality of this escort is precisely the employer’s own purpose... it is so weird!
