Kant led the team on horseback and approached.
The dull sound of the horseshoe hitting the sand was like thunder in winter, deterring the group of people in the caravan who could not stop retreating. Even the caravan guards who were holding weapons subconsciously lowered their weapons.
Facing hundreds of heavy cavalry with men and horses in heavy armor, no one dared to cause trouble easily.
Not to mention right in front of you.
120 Sarande riders and 240 desert robbers are also not easy to mess with!
The business leaders who took the lead in making trouble now have cold sweat on their faces, and they are giving each other winks, wanting each other to go up and explain to Kant first, but what's more, it's the fear in their eyes and the unstoppable panic on their faces .
No one could have imagined that the plan that could still be negotiated and negotiated had changed.
as lord.
Kant with the status of baron appeared.
Also with 103 full-body armored heavy cavalry.
Breaking the balance that the two sides were able to contend with, these merchants who were originally united for various purposes, not only became the weak side, but also began to have the possibility of splitting.
The principle of being wise and protecting one's life is quite common in the circle of businessmen.
But Kant didn't care.
He does have the upper hand, so he can ignore these businessmen who are sweating and smiling at him flatteringly.
Riding his horse ahead, he came to Rolf and asked with a frown, "What's the matter, this is my territory, you are my cavalry, why are you confronting these unknown businessmen?"
Before Kant could finish his words, cold sweat continued to fall from the tops of the businessmen's heads.
The origin is unknown.
This vocabulary already demonstrates what Kant meant.
All the businessmen felt a sudden shock in their hearts, knowing that if they didn't explain clearly today, they would probably stay here.
It's not a good idea to stay here.
Maybe it also means, die here!
"Since yesterday, they have been in series, and they seem to have an opinion on the decree you issued."
Rolf swept over these terrified businessmen.
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but more grinning: "Then I recalled all the cavalry and found that these merchants also joined together and wanted to show me."
"Oh? Interesting." Kant chuckled, and turned to look at the businessmen: "Showdown, what cards are you showing?"
The businessmen subconsciously took half a step back.
Many of the businessmen at the end, who are speculators, even winked.
Obviously, they are not of one mind at all. Facing the current situation, they all found that the risk factor has increased, and they began to retreat continuously. They even told their good companions that if there is any move to meet swordsmen, they should immediately run to the edge to surrender, and then Just confess to the guy who organized the riot at the front!
Merchants are not stupid, they have astonishing brains, otherwise, it would be impossible for them to get along like a fish in water and have their own caravan in this feudal era where the business environment was harsh.
Even if they are actually agents, there are noble figures behind them controlling them.
But that doesn't mean they don't have brains.
Even at the front, instigating all the merchants to unite, the three merchants who confronted Rolf were already in harmony. They didn't want to escape and resist, but how to push the other two people out so that they could survive.
It is enough for a dead fellow Taoist to not die a poor fellow.
"The reason for the showdown is, of course, that they want to go deeper into the Nalun Desert."
Rolf opened his mouth with a calm tone: "Or, they want to defy your prohibition and go deeper to find something. After all, before this, I have been strictly guarding and forbidding anyone to enter the depths of the desert."
"Oh, interesting, really interesting." Kant nodded, without any emotion on his face.
But the cold sweat on the faces of those businessmen is getting more and more.
Because they saw just behind Kant, those Swadian knights, Sarande riders, and desert robbers all drew out the scimitars around their waists, raised their spears, and stared at them fiercely. , Just like fierce hungry wolves, they found fat lambs!
Although there are a large number of these merchants, there are more than five hundred people in total, but it is really useless to calculate them.
Most are ordinary merchants and servants.
Only a few are caravan guards.
But even caravan guards, to be honest, can only ride horses and hold knives and axes to fight a simple fight.
If it is against the regular army, especially these elite heavy cavalry led by Kant, it will be as ridiculous as hitting a pebble with a pebble, and the picture is so beautiful that it is unimaginable!
Before they gathered together, they still had some confidence.
Rolf and the 120 Salander riders indeed belonged to the regular army, which was terrifying.
The desert bandits are equally rebellious, looking like bandits with a full face, but their equipment is slightly poor.
The source of confidence for the merchants lies in the nobles behind them.
They are convinced that as long as they rush through this post station, gather together, and use the power of the nobles behind everyone to coerce the young and immature Baron Kant, who may not understand what political struggle is, they will successfully break through the post station and go to the sentry post oases, and even the exact location where salt mines were discovered.
But now they realized that they were so wrong. The really young and immature Baron Kant held his status like an old nobleman and didn't talk to them, but that aura made them feel terrified.
This is the peace of a true nobleman.
After staying with the nobles for a long time, they can better understand the cruelty contained in this calmness.
The difference lies in whether Kant's hands are willing to be stained with blood!
Kant had no aversion to the blood on his hands.
Or don't care about it.
He just raised his head, looked at these businessmen calmly, and said lightly, "Who can give me an explanation?"
"Well…"
Instead, the blank stares of these businessmen responded.
Including the three instigators in front, they were all blank-eyed, as if they were ignorant little white sheep.
"Hehe, it seems like you don't want to give an explanation?"
Kant chuckled.
But his smile straightened back, and he said to Rolf in a deep voice, "Then let them know what the consequences will be if they dare to violate my laws in my territory!"
"噗噗咙咲咸—"
The sound of swords being unsheathed can be heard endlessly.
All the nervous caravan guards drew their weapons.
But at the front, the faces of the experienced merchants and caravan guards became more and more embarrassing.
Because Kant hadn't said what the consequences would be, this group of newcomers foolishly pulled out their weapons. This was simply giving Kant the handle, letting them, the group of guys, sit down to the reality of bullying the nobles!
Ordinary people who love "peace" will not aim their weapons at nobles.
Even a down-and-out aristocratic baron.
In the aristocratic court of the Lion Principality, they are still ordinary people like them, who cannot be easily offended!
Because this is the decency of the aristocratic class!
"Heh." Seeing the uncertain faces of those caravan guards and the panic in their eyes, how could Kant fail to notice that the other party was actually very scared
And the newcomers of the caravan guards at the rear were even more nervous and sweaty, and they couldn't even hold the dagger or scimitar in their hands. He would be instantly killed and collapsed and fled, posing no threat at all!
Even so, the Sarande riders still pointed their spears at the merchants, and the desert robbers all raised their scimitars, letting the light of dusk reflect the gloomy light of the swords.
Even the Swadian knights stared at the group of guards and raised the cone-headed spears in their hands obliquely forward.
They were all ready to charge.
At a distance of less than 10 meters, they can also launch the initial charge.
The sharp spears pierce the enemies in the front row, and the enemies in the back row will flee. In the end, the enemy's troops will be completely wiped out in the pursuit battle. Even those desert bandits will shuttle among the fleeing enemy troops, chopping down one by one with their machetes. Poor bastards who have lost the will to resist, they're pretty good at it.
Just wait for Kant to give the order to charge!
But those businessmen sensed something was wrong.
Panting heavily, they watched in panic as the cavalrymen looked at them with increasingly ferocious gazes.
Just like those real gangsters.
"No... Baron Kant..."
Finally, a businessman in the front row waved his hands in horror and shouted: "This is a misunderstanding! This is a misunderstanding! We...we didn't want to show our cards, we didn't want to go to the depths of the desert! This is a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!"
"That's right! This is a misunderstanding! Baron Kant! Baron Kant! This is a misunderstanding!"
"Forgive us! Lord Kant! We dare not go to the depths of the desert! It was the first three who brought us together! We didn't want to make trouble! We didn't even want to have a showdown!"
"It's the three businessmen in front! That's right! They incited us!"
"You damned fellows, the three of us were obviously coerced by you and pushed to the front!"
"Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Kant is here to prove our innocence. Wherever the three of us dared to touch the authority of Baron Kant, it was you who coerced us. Yes, you coerced us!"
Those merchants shouted in panic.
Everyone is scrambling to point at others, saying that the other party is the bad guy with evil intentions.
The scene was chaotic.
But Kant looked calmly, just looked at them indifferently, turned to Rolf and said, "I'm very disappointed with these guys, you didn't deal with them cleanly."
"No, Lord Kant, you misunderstood."
Rolf shrugged: "I want to kill them all after they are assembled." He said with a stern smile: "Take out the other party in one go, it can solve a lot of troubles, and it can even get rid of those businessmen in the later stage, so that They didn't dare to come over, but when you appeared, Lord Kant, I chose to wait."
"Hmm." Kant turned his head, looked at the cavalry who had already lined up to charge, nodded and said: "Yes, it seems that I really disturbed you this time."
"No, Mr. Kant, they are just a bunch of rabble."
Rolf glanced at the businessmen who were arguing and accusing each other, and said with a grin: "This group of fun is not enough to become my enemy, even the weakest caravan in Calradia can at least resist a little. "
