Chapter 511 Varif's commission
After Tyrell explained to Sun Huang in his bulk Chinese what was Eastern Europe and how they came about, the two guys began to suck their teeth.
"Tsk... you said you... didn't say hello in advance, so we were not prepared at all." Huang Donglai was the truth. At present, he didn't bring anything except a few small props and a few hidden pills, and he didn't even bring a village good sword.
Sun Yixi's situation is similar to his. The good news is that Brother Sun has at least a trident and protective armor.
And their "everything" luggage was left in an inn and was not taken to the Cao Gang base.
After all, they originally thought that they were just going to the base to help Feng Sandang’s "interrogation" the house, and it would not take too long. They had to go back to the inn to sleep that night. Who knew that this happened suddenly?
Fortunately, Linghu Xiang, Qin Feng, and Niu brothers all lived in the same inn, so there was no need to worry that Shuangxiu would lose his luggage if he didn't go back.
However, they "distance without saying goodbye" will still cause some problems. Of course, they have to wait until they return to Central Plains to talk about it.
He also said that when Tyrel heard Huang Donglai’s complaints, he also apologized, but he also explained that there was no way out. There was no phone call or something back then. It was too difficult to contact him from Eastern Europe to Central Plains. If you want to ask several "old mages" they organized to open skills to contact you, the cost may be higher than sending you directly over, and it is not worth it.
When Sun Huang heard this, he didn't say much. Anyway, he's here, so let's help my brothers?
This level can be regarded as showing the style of our Central Plains knights in front of European martial arts fellows.
So, after a while of chatting, Tyrell brought Shuangxie to several "old mages" of this Ranger organization.
These old men really look like a magician in their stereotypes. They are all wearing torn robes, with white hair and wrinkles on their faces. They look like half-immortals in their fifties at first glance.
As soon as I asked, hey! My brothers are less than sixty years old.
Otherwise, Europe was in dire straits at that time. If the medical, diet, and sanitation conditions were all very poor, it would have a chain reaction...
But only these old men in their fifties can live long here.
After a brief exchange, Sun Huang found that these old men had a very bad first impression of them, the "foreign aid".
Huang Donglai had already activated his "broken slander" technique, so he could understand the old men's words. Sun Yixiu could see it just by observing his words and expressions. The other party felt that they had no strength and were not very reliable.
As we continued to talk, the old men's words revealed disappointment and some resentment from Tyrel.
If it weren't for normal times, Sun Huang might have already jumped up to fight these old men when he encountered such treatment. But this time, considering that they were new to the new generation and were not familiar with the place, many places still had to rely on this organization, and they didn't want Tyrel, who was stuck in the middle, to do it, so they chose to pretend to be stupid.
Fortunately, the meeting was not long. Although the old men did not expect anything from Shuangxie, they finally said that they would be guests when they came and would entertain them as soon as they should. Let the two of them find a tent to settle down.
The few people then left the old wizards' tents and came outside. Sun Huang wanted to say a few more words to Tyrel, and at this moment...
“Greetings!strengers!”
Accompanied by this greeting, a middle-aged man wearing a blue hat and shawl appeared in Sun Huang and Tyrell's sight.
Tyrel obviously knew this person, so he immediately introduced him to Sun Huang, saying that this brother was the leader of a caravan currently stationed in this camp, named Varif. If they want to start traveling westward from now on, they may need to follow Varif's caravan.
Sun Huang then greeted Varif, and then found that the old man came to say hello to them. One was out of curiosity and wanted to inquire about some things about Dashi; the other was... he also asked them for it.
What's going on?
It was said that last month, a group of robbers came in the mountains a few miles west of the camp. It is said that this group of people are quite cruel and fierce.
Many travelers were attacked by them when they passed by, so Varif's caravan was now reluctant to set off.
Varif also knew some things about the Rangers and understood that the "foreign aid" they invited also wanted to travel west, so he came over to ask them if it was possible to deal with the gang of robbers for "common interests" or act as bodyguards for his caravans.
After hearing this, Sun Huang thought, and thought that this guy is also a thief. He is talking so much. Isn’t he just want us to help you clear the threat?
If this is really changed to the people from the Rangers organization, they may agree immediately. Just be a hero and righteous person, just go there, pay or something... After the matter is over, Lao Wa, you can see what you want.
But Sun Huang is different. You can’t bargain with you to let you bleed?
So Tyrel watched the two guys fooling Varif from the side. As they continued to chat, they would almost become deputy commanders of the caravan, and they were satisfied.
After sending off Varif, Tyrel advised them: "Bro... there are quite a few robbers in that group. Our organization is already tight now. If you want to lead the team to fight, if there are any casualties..."
"What?" Sun Yixiong's escorts were all taller, "Just a little robber... I still need to 'lead the team' to attack? Mom, I'll go over and let them know what 'killing' is now!"
"Okay, OK... You're just loud when you abuse the vegetables." Huang Donglai curled his lips, "It's so dark now, so it's hard to search for them if you go."
"Do we need to find them? I'll just take a torch and hit the road. Isn't it enough to wait for them to rob me?" Sun Yixie said.
"The people must be sleeping at this night, leaving only a few people watching." Huang Donglai said again, "We just carried a torch like this. When they saw that there were only a few men, and they didn't have carriages or supplies, they might just ignore us."
"Well..." Sun Yixie pondered for a moment, "You said this...it seems to make sense."
His little eyes rolled, and the next second he jumped at Tyrel: "Bro, are there any young girls in our camp?"
When Tyrel heard this, his expression changed slightly and blurted out: "Bro, don't you let you fight robbers, are you going to do this?"
"Tsk...what are you talking about?" Sun Yixie explained with a crooked mouth, "I mean to find a girl to go with us, so that you might be able to pull out the robbers."
Tyrell thought for two seconds and continued, "It's midnight, and the other party couldn't see clearly. You can change into women's clothing and cover your face with a cloak?"
After the words came to an end, Sun Yixiu was speechless for a moment.
"Hahaha...haha! Hahaha..." Huang Donglai's wool laughter came immediately.
"Mom... shut up!" Sun Yixie was so annoyed at this moment, because he had realized that Tyrel's plan was indeed fine.
An hour later, the three of them were already walking on a road away from the camp.
This road is the only way to travel west through the valley. A large section of the path is covered by mountains and forests, so it also provides good conditions for robbers to hide and raid.
At this moment, Sun Yixie had already changed into a nun suit borrowed from the camp, and just covered most of her face with her head cloth. She walked among the three of them, playing a role of being "escorted".
Huang Donglai and Tyrel, who were walking in front and behind Sun Yixi, were dressed in "guard" outfits, wearing leather armor everywhere, and weapons were also equipped with waists. They also symbolically carried two large luggage bags on their backs. Of course... they were just light dead grass inside.
Such a group of people have greatly increased the probability of being targeted by the perspective of robbing wealth or robbing sex; and their personnel configuration also meets the impression that "because there are few people, they can only rush quietly in the middle of the night, hoping to escape the eyes and ears of robbers."
Sure enough, as they walked, the torches in their hands attracted the attention of a night vigil bandit.
There are indeed a large number of robbers, with more than twenty, but they are robbers after all, not well-trained troops, so there are only two people in charge of guarding the night watch, and these two are in the first and second half of the night.
In other words, in fact, there is only one person watching the night at the same time.
If this person dozed off, some travelers might have slipped over during this period.
Of course, even if he is awake, he may still let the person go, just like Huang Donglai analyzed before... If the person who was on guard saw only two or three male travelers, no carriages, and even very little luggage, he would probably not wake up his companion and rob.
Because even if the "prey" like this is successfully robbed, there is no need to be any good or bad. In the end, the only thing they get is a few pieces of ragged weapons and ragged clothes, plus a few sips of dry food. Maybe the few people who were robbed will resist desperately, resulting in some casualties on the robbers.
Generally speaking, unless it is winter and the food is so short that it needs to eat people, they will not consider starting a team of all-male people with fewer people and luggage.
I'll see the wrong version one by one!
However, the states Sun Huang and Tyrel disguised at this moment are different.
No matter how much property there is in the two bags of luggage, there is a woman in the team, and that will still be very attractive to the robbers.
When the vigil looked from a distance, there was a nun's suit among the three of them. They were immediately energetic. He flew back to the cave where his companions were sleeping, and whispered to wake up the three brothers with him. He was about to set off.
Someone may be asking when he saw this, why didn’t he wake everyone up?
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is very simple: he thinks that there are only three people on the other side, and only two of them will resist, so the nun is a burden... With such a configuration, the robbers will be more than enough to go four; if there are fewer people, will he be able to "enjoy" the nun's spoil more in a while?
This is how this robber’s thinking is. In addition, don’t think he is too confident in his combat power. In fact, his judgment is basically accurate.
Take the caravan as an example. At that time, most caravans had personnel between twenty and thirty, and the fewer than a dozen, and there were only more than fifty people in the large caravans; and the proportion of "professional guards" would not exceed one-quarter of the total number, and if there were more caravans, they would not be able to afford to hire them.
Of course, there are also many civilians in the caravan who are not guards, and they are equipped with weapons to resist a little; but the combat effectiveness of these people, even if they are fifty, are not the opponents of these more than twenty bandits.
These robbers born in this chaotic era have all been killed with blood on their hands, and have long killed people. They have no hesitation about women and children, and there are many of them who have eaten.
It can be said that this is a group of "people" whose beastly nature is greater than human nature. In the fight against ordinary people in life and death, they have great psychological advantages from the beginning. Only those professional guards with rich combat experience can fight with them in one-on-one battles, guards with not very good killing experience, and civilians holding weapons against them, and they have no chance of winning.
To sum up, when the four robbers attacked Sun Huang and Tyrell, they were full of confidence and never thought about the possibility of failure.
Let’s talk about these four people approaching the target along the firelight, they skillfully scattered to both sides of the road, forming a small encirclement.
Then, while the enemy was in the dark, they first released four cold arrows from the woods and shot at Huang Donglai, who was walking in the front of the team from four different angles.
The cold arrow left the string. Before the person fell, the four robbers put down their short bows, replaced them with swords and axes, and rushed out of the woods.
This wave is their usual tactics, because they also know that their archery skills are only average. In addition, they attack at night, so they didn't expect to kill a moving target wearing a protective gear with a few arrows in seconds...
The purpose of this first round of volleys is to "stop" the enemy in front of the opponent, causing the entire team to be stuck.
And the subsequent charge is the "main dish".
The four robbers, divided into two people in front and back, rushed out of the forest on both sides of the road, and formed a round of left and right attacks on Huang Donglai and Tyrel almost at the same time.
If an ordinary traveler encounters this skilled raid in the middle of the night, he might have explained it in this round.
Unfortunately, this group of robbers met not ordinary people today...
The two men who were attacking Huang Donglai rushed to the front and raised their weapons to chop Huang Donglai, they suddenly discovered that for some reason, the guy who was "stopped" in front of him was actually holding four arrows in his left hand.
"He caught all our hidden arrows at that moment?" One of the robbers felt a chill in his left ribs as soon as this thought flashed out in his mind.
Then his advance stopped.
Two seconds later, when he turned his head and looked at it, he realized that he had been strung in the air by a trident that was inserted into the air, and his feet were off the ground...
And the one holding the trident turned out to be the "nun" who didn't seem to be threatening at all.
The bandits who raided Huang Donglai from the other direction were slightly better. Because Huang Donglai intended to keep a living, he just used his body skills to easily avoid his slash and then punched him in the stomach.
The robber has never been beaten by this fist with internal strength; normally, even if he was punched like this by a person with great strength, he would at most kneel down and vomit, then his whole body was stressed and twitched, and his breathing was paused for dozens of seconds... But Huang Donglai's punch directly hit him in pain and lost consciousness and fell into a coma.
At the same time, Tyrel in the rear also used a long hammer held by both hands, combined with several maneuvering and dodging steps, to withstand the attacks of the two robbers without any danger.
Tyrell, who had been in the big world for quite some time, was obviously already in the dimension of "physical skills". Even though the two bandits had rich combat experience, they were definitely not Tyrell's opponents.
After passing three or five moves, Tyrel completed the counterattack against these two without any special abilities.
"It seems like there are only these four." After the offensive subsided, Huang Donglai focused his attention on his ear skills and confirmed that there were still fish that had missed the net nearby.
"Then let's ask the one who has the breath, where is their stronghold." Sun Yixie followed the trend and walked towards the unconscious robber as he said.
Huang Donglai was not vague, and successfully woke up the person with a slap in the face, then grabbed the other party's collar and asked, "Hey, where is your old nest?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, a sharp arrow flashing with three colors of light suddenly appeared in the distant night sky.
Chapter completed!
