The atmosphere in the caravan tonight is as Allen said, without the ease and indulgence of the previous few days.
When the night was slightly cooler, the caravan did not even light a bonfire randomly to minimize the possibility of the caravan being discovered by the robbers.
And Su Mu also noticed that in this most dangerous night, even Alan, who was obviously much stronger than the other guards, never chose to act alone. Instead, it cooperated with several other first-tier and second-tier fighters, firmly guarding the various perspectives of the caravan's periphery, to ensure that any danger can be spotted at the first time.
According to Allen's request, Su Mu was assigned to stay with the caravan.
It is used to ensure that if a bandit breaks through the guard line, Su Mu can immediately kill him by surprise, so as to protect the safety of everyone in the caravan without the ability to resist.
And Allen's arrangement was obviously well thought out.
After all, although Su Mu had reached the rank of a second-order fighter in his realm, his actual combat experience was far lower than those of the weatherproof guards.
Therefore, only when Su Mu is in the dark at all times can he give full play to his abilities.
However, Uncle Lu next to Su Mu saw that Alan still trains for many days and Su Mu also arranges to return to the corner where the crowd gathers. But it is natural to think that Su Mu still does not have the slightest fighting power.
He even patted the wooden stick driving the car in his hand, once again comforting Su Mu:
"It's okay, even if there are bandits who have crossed Ellen and the others, you Uncle Lu and I are much stronger than your small body. It's not a problem to drag it for a while."
Su Mu was really speechless for Uncle Lu's so good-for-nothing optimism.
But since entering the realm of qualified fighters, Su Mu has felt very clearly that a warrior who can mobilize the Qi in his body to attack is far from what ordinary people can resist.
And since the bandits make a living by plundering, then naturally they will not be ordinary people without combat effectiveness.
So if bandits really want to break through the guard line, I am afraid that only Su Mu can stop it.
…
However, even though everyone has done it a long time ago, they are going to face the worst outcome. Even the most optimistic Uncle Lu himself insisted on not falling asleep too deeply.
But in fact, when the bright frosty moon was about to return below the horizon, the bandits that everyone was worried about still did not attack.
Not being attacked by bandits, of course, will be the best ending.
As long as the sky is really bright, no matter how courage the bandits are, they will not choose to do it during the day when their identities are most easily revealed.
After all, according to Allen's previous explanation, the so-called "bandits" are just those low-level fighters in nearby villages and towns who are unwilling to work long distances.
It is precisely because the bandit is not a real existence, so it can not be completely wiped out.
However, the fish's belly has slightly appeared on the horizon, and some people are even silently praying to the Supreme God, rejoicing that the night will finally pass safely.
There was a loud whistle, but it echoed in everyone's ears so abruptly.
Then the torches that were ignited quickly lit up from the guards' hands, reflecting the scarlet and cruel brilliance of the last darkness before dawn.
That piercing whistle sound was the alarm when the guards found the enemy.
And these torches that lit up quickly were ignited to determine the location of the bandits.
After a whole night of safety and security, the bandits that everyone feared most... After all, they showed their hideousness.
…
When everyone in the caravan heard the whistle, they were awakened almost subconsciously from their sleep, and then one after another picked up the shovel or wooden stick at hand and looked around nervously.
Su Mu was of course no exception at this time, he had already quickly held down the hilt of the saber hidden in his robe, ready to draw the sword and slash at any time.
The bandit that struck this time can not be said to be intentional and not sinister.
The reason why they didn't do it at night, but chose to show up just before dawn. It is to completely wait until the guards have gone through a night of guarding, and the will has been consumed a lot at this time.
Assault on the exhausted body of the guards with his own extreme state.
However, no matter how deep the gangsters are, their strength is still the most important thing in the battle. So as long as Alan, who is stronger than others, still exists, the guards will still not be too afraid of it.
I saw that the bandits who had exposed their whereabouts had already removed their disguise, gathered from all directions toward the caravan's position, and geared up to look at the vendors in the caravan.
It's just like the guards guarding the periphery of the caravan do not exist in the eyes of the bandits, they have enough confidence to be able to successfully plunder.
At this time, the best choice for the guards... is to use Allen's powerful strength to directly slash and kill the leader of the robbers, so that these robbers will be scattered in panic.
But also at the same moment, the brawny, masked man who was obviously the boss of the robbers seemed to have the same plan.
His cold and sharp gaze also locked Alan, who was standing at the forefront.
Then there were two thunderous shouts, which exploded in the air almost at the same time.
Alan, holding an epee, and the bandit leader with a giant axe on his shoulder, turned into two gusts of wind tearing through the weeds, and slammed into each other heavily.
As the sword and axe shook, countless dust and dirt splashed up in all directions.
…
However, when the dust fell, Alan and the bandit leader returned to the sight of everyone.
The guards and bandit groups, which were full of confidence, discovered each other in amazement. It turned out that Ellen and the bandit leader were both Tier 3 fighters in small print, and neither of them could easily kill each other.
However, the bandit party was even more fierce after all. Seeing that the leaders of both sides were still entangled with each other, they couldn't immediately distinguish an exact position.
The bandits no longer wait and see at all, they just lifted the weapons in their hands and rushed towards the caravan in all directions.
Faced with such a situation, the guards immediately shrunk the defensive circle, only firmly guarding the vendors and valuable goods, and instantly abandoning several pallets carrying marine cargo.
Fortunately, the appearance of a Tier 3 fighter in small print among the bandits is indeed an extremely unexpected situation. The vast majority of bandits here actually only possess the first-order realm that has just escaped from ordinary people, not even a second-order fighter.
Therefore, relying on the skilful cooperation between the teams, the guard team composed of two Tier 2 fighters and five Tier 1 fighters still kept the bandits out of the crowd, making them unable to go further.
In the collision of the swaying firelight and the sharp metal, it seemed that neither of them could do anything about it, and they fell into an awkward stalemate for a while.
…
But after this contact between the two sides, in the stalemate between the guards and the bandits, the key to the problem seems to be back to Alan and the bandit leader.
At this moment, the two of them, no matter who slashed each other first, they can truly reverse the situation.
However, Su Mu thought of this, and once again looked in the direction of the battle between the two. An unreasonable phenomenon immediately attracted Su Mu's attention.
I saw that Allen was hacking with the bandit leader, and the sensitivity of the two movements was clearly the same. But for some reason, every time when the most critical offensive moment is reached, Allen's movements are always strangely slow by half a point.
By virtue of Allen's accumulated disadvantages, the bandit leader has clearly grasped enough initiative, and has almost completely suppressed Allen.
It was only at this moment that Su Mu finally found out:
Among the group of bandits in front of him, there seemed to be an extraordinarily lonely figure, standing far away in a safe position, and he didn't even want to get close to the battle.
Moreover, this figure at this time was watching Alan's battle with the bandit leader more closely, and he kept chanting something in his mouth.
Seeing this situation, a particularly shocking news suddenly burst in Su Mu's mind:
"Magic apprentice, that person is actually a magic apprentice!"
In this kind of bandit group with no future, there will be a character who knows how to cast magic.
And as long as the caster himself can continue to bless the bandit leader outside the battlefield, Allen seems to be destined to usher in defeat in the confrontation.
And once Allen ushered in defeat, the entire caravan in front of him would definitely become a lamb to be slaughtered.
