It's freezing cold and the cold current is raging!
The water in the cowhide kettle was so frozen that it could be used as a murder weapon.
Fortunately for the magic user, the coachman and servants, who are ordinary people, have poor cold resistance and wish to wrap up their entire heads. They have only been out for a few days, and their faces are already red and swollen from the cold, and their fingers are as thick as carrots.
Seeing this scene, Downton's resentment towards the coachmen lessened. Traveling in this terrible weather was risking one's life. It was unjustifiable not to increase wages, but it was too evil for the coachman leader to harm the owner's family. After all, Ellie
Silk Heart is already very kind.
Downton rode the Hot Nightmare and followed the team, running out for a walk from time to time. This was his first time out of the country, so everything felt new to him.
Hutao rode the ray into the pine forest, obviously going hunting, but Downton was not worried. With her strength, she could easily escape even when faced with a giant dragon.
"I didn't realize that Master Romeo is still a noble boy!"
The eldest lady was surprised. After all, Alice belongs to a family that has been in the family for hundreds of years. She has been taught by aristocrats since she was a child. She naturally has a vicious eye. Although Downton's etiquette is okay, it is obviously acquired training and does not have that kind of family background.
"You can't escape without a guard, and you won't be afraid of being robbed!"
Conti's eyes were fixed on Downton's mount, and he couldn't restrain his greed. This was a pure-blooded hellish nightmare. The four hooves of the war horse were burning with green flames. Wherever it stepped on, it would be
It leaves a burning flame. It looks gorgeous and dreamy.
Of course, Downton himself is handsome enough. Even in the cold winter, he is still wearing a thin hunting suit, with broad shoulders, narrow waist, and slender limbs. The curves of his body are perfectly displayed, like an elegant and muscular man.
Cheetah is full of strength and beauty.
Conti turned his head and saw that the eldest lady he admired was looking at Downton, her eyes full of admiration and admiration. He couldn't help but feel a little disgusted. If Downton launched a pursuit offensive, Alice would definitely not be reserved for long.
"Damn it!"
Conti cursed in a low voice and tightened his grip on the reins. He usually considered himself a handsome man, but compared with Downton, he was a scumbag.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss!"
Downton passed by and said hello with a smile. In the past half day, he saw a lot of things. Alice was a hard-working girl who was willing to endure hardships. She was running around all the time. Although her face was full of exhaustion, she was always tired.
No complaints.
Downton admires this kind of girl with a strong character the most.
"Master Romeo is overly praised!"
Alice didn't know that this was Downton's pseudonym, but she joked about it after hearing that the maid was called Juliet. After all, the opera Romeo and Juliet had become famous with the Toffee Opera Company's superb performance.
It has traveled through most of the Western Continent and has become a classic play.
"Take a sip. It will refresh you!"
Downton took out the empty Rock Beer can and handed it to Alice.
"Thanks!"
Handsome and gentle men always make people less vigilant, but as soon as Alice stretched out her hand, she was suppressed by a riding crop.
"Be careful when you go out. Who knows what the purpose of this guy is?"
Conti could have said it more tactfully, but he was too harsh on Downton to push for the limelight, plus he was young and energetic and could not tolerate enough, so he was rude.
"Thank you!"
If it had been in the past, Alice would have argued for Downton, but now she had to rely on Conti to protect the caravan, so after opening her mouth, she did not make a sound, retracted her hand, and smiled apologetically at Downton.
Seeing the eldest lady's performance, Conti proudly raised his chin towards Downton as if he had won a battle, showing a proud and disdainful smile.
Downton chuckled, unscrewed the lid, took a sip of victory wine, clamped his legs under the horse's belly, and sped away. A bastard like Conte didn't even have the slightest bit of fighting spirit.
“It smells so good!”
A guard behind Conti sniffed and greedily smelled the aroma of wine in the air. As an alcoholic, he knew that this pot of wine would definitely cost less than ten thousand gold coins.
The drunkard still guessed less. That cup costs tens of thousands of gold. Of course, even if you have money, you can't buy it, because it is a finely brewed tribute.
At noon, the caravan stopped to rest and eat, but as soon as the bonfire was lit, two warning fireworks rose into the sky and exploded into gorgeous patterns.
"The enemy is attacking, prepare to fight!"
Conti, who had just disarmed, immediately stood up, dropped the bread in his hand, got on his horse, and called the guards to assemble.
"This guy is quite capable!"
Juliet curled her lips, "It's just that my heart is too bad."
"Boss, he is a native of the hills, with nearly a thousand people!"
The two scouts whipped their horses and whipped them back, causing the horse's buttocks to become raw and bloody.
Buzz!
Like boiling water poured into an ant's nest, everyone in the team stood up. The ordinary people were even more anxious all day long, all their eyes turned to Conte.
Plop!
There was still ice in some places on the road. One of the scouts ran too fast and the iron-tipped horseshoe of his war horse stepped on it. One of the scouts lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The scout performed the vault and moved very quickly, but his right foot was still suppressed, causing him to scream in pain.
"No chaos, form a formation and raise the Duke of Downton's battle flag!"
Conte was also scared, but he was able to restrain his nervousness and still commanded in an orderly manner, "Go two people and bring him back!"
Being able to give advance warning and form a formation, the performance of this escort team is already very good. When the ragtag group of bandits see this kind of lineup, they will basically retreat. After all, they are not stupid. Unless they are starving, they will definitely
Don't take too many risks.
"calm down!"
Alice jumped out of the carriage, took the staff, and kept muttering to herself, but the fingers holding the staff tightly still exposed her nervousness.
There is no way not to be afraid, let alone bandits attacking the business group. Even if a lot of people die, the pension will make her family worse.
Of course, if Alice had been more ruthless and not put human life at risk, she would still have been able to withstand this kind of loss.
"If you need any help, just ask!"
Downton rushed over. The girl's appearance made him feel unbearable.
"Thank...thank you!"
Out of worry, Alice actually bit her tongue.
"Don't be afraid, the enemy is a native of the hills, we should be able to negotiate!"
Conte has stabilized the morale of the army. What he fears most now is the spread of panic and an avalanche-like rout. Otherwise, when the bandits see this kind of performance, they will fight if they don't want to fight.
Although Conte worked hard, the emotion of panic cannot be controlled.
Downton saw that the situation was not right and quickly waved his hand to spread a halo of sobriety.
When the white halo exploded from Downton's hand and fell on everyone, a warm and peaceful atmosphere immediately filled their bodies, and they unconsciously became quiet, as if they were in their mother's arms.
"Knights Templar?"
The servants exclaimed, with a touch of joy in their expressions. Even the guards were surprised and relieved by this unexpected surprise. There was one more paladin. The combat effectiveness of the whole group was at least doubled.
Soon, the eight cavalry scouts dispersed and all retreated. Within a few minutes, ogres emerged from the pine forests on both sides of the road.
These guys have the aura of wild hills all over them. In the middle of winter, they only wear a simple leather skirt. Some of them don't even have this covering, they are directly naked from the lower body, revealing two black hairs.
thigh.
Years of hard life as indigenous people have turned their skin into dead skin, coupled with the dirt and stains that have not been washed away for several years. It is comparable to a layer of armor.
Some of the servants who followed the caravan for the first time were so frightened that their legs shook and they peed directly. There was nothing they could do. These natives were so terrifying. They had green faces and fangs, and each carried a mace as tall as a person and wore skull ornaments.
Like a demon coming out of hell.
Boom! Boom!
Huge footsteps sounded, and in the blink of an eye, a cavalry consisting of dozens of natives appeared on the road, blocking the way.
Conti's face suddenly darkened. These cavalrymen were carrying giant ground sloths, which were elite-level monsters. Those who could tame them were all powerful natives.
The natives were simple-minded, well-developed limbs, and had no nonsense. The leader of the group held a mace in his right hand and waved it forward vigorously. The natives who had been parked around them immediately started to scream and attack.
"Wait a minute, we have Lord Downton's battle flag, the traffic order issued by the free trade zone, and the token of Chief Bloodmaul!"
Conti roared, but his voice was drowned in the roar of the charging natives.
"They must be restrained!"
If the natives were to rush over, the business group would definitely be doomed, so Downton fished it out with his right hand, and a fireball the size of a watermelon immediately took shape and was then smashed out by him.
The natives riding those giant ground sloths all turned to dodge, but they did not expect that the power of the fireball was too great. It exploded and enveloped a fifty-yard radius.
boom!
A ball of flame was like a blooming flower, rising into the sky in an instant. After it dissipated, only a dozen natives were left, and the rest were all turned into ashes, not even a whole corpse was left.
This sudden scene caused the charging natives to stop and stare at Downton warily, because he grabbed another big fireball in his hand.
"Don't throw it away!"
Alice quickly stopped.
"kindness?"
Downton was puzzled.
"Wait for me to negotiate!"
Although she was afraid of the ugly ogre, Alice still persisted and took out her pass to negotiate.
Downton was worried and followed him, and Conte was naturally not to be outdone.
"It's the business group from Frankfurt? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The bandit leader was very angry. He clenched his fists and crushed the pass. But the next second, he spread his hands fearfully and carefully smoothed the parchment.
"You rushed too fast!"
Although she complained in her heart, Alice did not dare to say it out loud. She took out a bag of gold coins that she had prepared long ago and said, "Here are two hundred gold coins, please accept it!"
"No, let's go!"
The bandit leader looked at the bag containing the gold coins with greedy eyes, but he didn't dare to ask for it. He put his fingers in his mouth and blew a loud whistle.
