Chapter 706 Robber

"Taxes!" Yang Bo checked carefully and found that the main income of the nobles in the Blue Water Empire is now taxes.

The nobles of the Blue Water Empire have their own legislative power in their own territories, which means that the other party can make laws independently.

That is, any company or product, if you want to enter my territory, you must pay me taxes or give me a certain amount of profit.

If you don't pay, then don't even think about entering.

It's better now. In the past, when it was not the interstellar era, some goods passed through several noble territories, and the tax was higher than the value of the goods.

Now the noble parliament has passed a resolution to set an upper limit on the percentage of tax increase on a certain commodity.

However, the nobles of the Blue Water Empire are also divided into several factions, conservatives, open-minded, and neutral.

"If you want to make money quickly, you have to fight." It turned out that in the Blue Water Empire, two nobles had an irreconcilable conflict, and they could resolve the fight through a swordsmanship competition.

Because the laws of the empire have little effect on the nobles, many laws are not suitable for the nobles.

"It seems that my buddy's chance to make a fortune has come again." Yang Bo smiled.

After checking the relevant information, Yang Bo went to the game.

"Take off the badge." Yang Bo saw Adam wearing the badge on his chest.

"It's a symbol of my identity." Adam said.

"If you don't want to be targeted by robbers and other people, you'd better take it off. Look at the houses and buildings in the game. Who are they used to defend? Some time ago, I was in the countryside and there were robbers robbing the village. Do you think there are robbers among the people on the road? If they see that you are a soldier, will they come up and stab you with a knife?" Yang Bo said unhappily.

"Oh oh." Adam took off the badge quickly after hearing this.

Today is to go to the carving class. Yang Bo no longer handles the materials and starts to make clay figures.

Although Yang Bo can quickly make a clay figure, it is slower to control the game character to make clay figures.

The main reason is that he can't control the strength of his hands well, so he can only do it slowly.

Just like operating some machines, if you don't know the strength of the machine, you can only observe the effect visually, and then control the strength of the operation by operating.

"Not bad, not bad, I didn't expect that Handy has a talent for carving." Andy looked at a chicken made by Yang Bo and nodded.

"It's pretty good that you can do this now. The next step is to make your work more exquisite." Andy looked at the chicken in front of him. Although it looked a little rough, the proportion of the whole chicken looked very appropriate.

"You have mastered the size ratio of this animal very well. Although it looks rough, others can tell at a glance that it is a rooster."

"Come and take a look at Handy's work. The first step of our sculpture is to get the size ratio accurate."

"Adam, the short-necked horse you made, are you sure it's a horse?"

"And you, Paul, you made a pig with such a long body?" Andy called several other students over.

"Did you cheat with virtual software?" Adam sent a message to Yang Bo.

"If I can cheat, it proves that the game you developed is a broken game." Yang Bo replied.

"Huh!" Adam replied with a hum.

Yang Bo studied here for a long time and left Andy.

The other students were jealous.

For the rest of the afternoon today, Yang Bo controlled the game character to release darts.

A distance of 15 meters is enough to hit the target, and a distance of 10 meters can hit the target wherever you point it.

Limited by the power of the character, it has little killing power at a distance, so it is better not to use it.

In addition, Yang Bo also prepared a few bags of lime, which is a weapon for fighting.

In the evening, Yang Bo and Adam came to the police station.

"Autumn is coming soon, and we must be vigilant against bandits now."

"Every autumn is when bandits are rampant. They will rob farmers, farms, ranches, and caravans."

During the meeting in the evening, the chief of the police station spoke.

It turns out that when the autumn harvest comes, farmers have food in their hands, and food can be exchanged for money.

At this time, the robbers will come out to rob food, money, and people.

Because farmers have money in their hands, caravan activities are also very prosperous, and they have to prepare for winter.

It will make some bandits more eager to move.

"So everyone must strictly check suspicious people when they see them."

When patrolling together at night, Roden said: "Autumn is the most dangerous. Our Green City has been besieged by bandits several times."

"Brother Roden, where do these bandits usually live?" Adam asked.

"These bandits may be farmers or workers. They usually do various jobs separately. In autumn, they will gather together to rob others."

"This is also one of the reasons why it is most difficult to find them."

"There was a caravan in a region that was often robbed. Later, after a careful investigation, it was found that the owners and workers of seven or eight farms in the area were bandits. They usually work in the fields. When they meet the target, they will directly become bandits."

"After robbing and killing, they bury the person in the ground."

When Adam heard this, he also felt that the people walking next to him were bandits, and he couldn't help but look at them a few more times.

"It's okay for you to live in the college. The college's defense is very strong." Locke said.

Yang Bo was a little curious. Why is Locke still here after making great contributions?

Two days passed peacefully like this. On Saturday morning, with the arrival of autumn, there were few nobles hunting rabbits, because the autumn harvest was about to begin, and workers were already working in the vineyards and orchards.

Yang Bo was going to let his character practice more flying knives, but he didn't expect that after a while, the guard at the entrance of the academy came to tell Yang Bo that someone was looking for him outside.

"Handy, a caravan was attacked, hurry up and follow us." It turned out to be Locke at the door, riding a horse, and there was another horse behind him.

"Where's Adam?"

"He can't ride a horse without riding a horse."

"Hurry up and change your equipment." Locke pointed to the equipment on the horse behind him.

So Yang Bo hurried back to the academy with his equipment to change.

"Where are you going?" Adam came out and saw Yang Bo's fully armed back, and quickly sent a message.

"A caravan was attacked by bandits."

"Me!" Adam also hurried to catch up.

"You can't ride a horse?"

"Who said I can't ride a horse."

"I didn't bring your equipment."

Adam arrived at the entrance of the academy and saw Yang Bo's back on horseback.

But a closer look made him curl his lips, because the horse was led by the person in front.

This time Yang Bo brought his own bow.

The horse was not very fast. In the movie, people were seen riding horses very fast.

That was a lie. Horses were not very fast when they were usually on the road.

They were the fastest when they were charging.

Yang Bo didn't know which direction it was going, but soon he saw black smoke rising in the distance.

And Yang Bo found that there were knights in the distance. In this situation, only cavalry could reach quickly.

The place where the smoke was coming out looked about two or three kilometers away.

The Green City behind had sounded the alarm. Green City had been fooled before. A noble caravan was attacked, and the knights ran to reinforce. Unexpectedly, the robbers' cavalry almost attacked the city.

The caravan that could send so many knights to reinforce must be a noble caravan.

"Be careful." Seeing the place, Locke slowed down and shouted to Yang Bo behind him.

Yang Bo had seen the situation now and found that the caravan's carriages were circling in a circle, and there were robbers outside.

The robbers were also wearing all kinds of equipment, holding bows and arrows, and the robbers also had cavalry.

The caravan's chariot formation was a bit messy, obviously it was attacked suddenly.

The robbers' cavalry actually gathered together, and it seemed that they wanted to fight with the cavalry reinforcements from Green City.

The knights from Green City gradually slowed down and moved closer.

Yang Bo quickly jumped off the horse and ran to the side quickly.

This place is on the road. When the cavalry charge each other later, the robbers' cavalry may rush over and hit him at that time.

This place has begun to enter the mountainous area. The place where the caravan was attacked is near the exit of the mountainous area.

This is convenient for bandits to ambush, and the caravan people will be careless, after all, they can see Green City when they leave the intersection.

Yang Bo quickly came to the hillside on the side of the road, looking at the not-so-steep hillside, and began to climb up with his hands and feet.

During the climbing process, Yang Bo heard the sound of a whistle below.

I saw seven or eight knights coming to Green City to reinforce. One of them was blowing a whistle, and the other knights took out their weapons and controlled their horses.

Seven or eight knights lined up in a row, and the horses also marched in unison to the rhythm of the whistle.

When Yang Bo climbed up the hillside, there was a place where people could stand.

The knights of Green City had already launched the final charge amid the rapid whistle.

Yang Bo took out a thin rope from his waist and threw it in the air. Watching the thin rope drifting down the mountain with the wind, he calculated the wind direction and speed.

Then Yang Bo took out a bow and arrow and began to aim.

There were nearly 20 cavalrymen on the bandit side, but their equipment was varied.

The bandits also started to charge, and the gap could be seen.

Before the charge, the bandits were lined up in a long line, but after the charge began, some ran in front and some ran behind.

This was due to the knights' control methods and the physical ability of the horses themselves.

The cavalry charge is not to collide with each other, but to rely on the speed of the warhorse to allow the weapons in their hands to cut the opponent's body.

Moreover, the weapons in the hands of the cavalry are not swung, but they need to hold the weapons tightly. The speed brought by the warhorse itself will make the weapons come into close contact with the opponent.

The two sides crossed each other, and the two cavalrymen of the robbers fell directly from the horse's back.

At this time, the tactical qualities of the knights of Green City were demonstrated again.

The knights of Green City quickly turned around, lined up in a long line again, and began to counterattack.

Some of the cavalrymen on the robber side have turned their horses around, some are still turning around, and some almost collided with each other.

"It's at this time." Yang Bo took out the fine iron arrows he bought.

Of course, he had to cover his face. The robbers below were turning around and had the lowest speed.

Whoosh!

An arrow flew down the hillside without warning and directly penetrated the body of a cavalryman.

The front of the cavalryman was blocked by leather armor, but there was no piece on the back. It may be that the cavalry of the robbers was not well equipped.

And now when he turned around, his back was exposed.

The other bandits were shocked when they saw their companions fall to the ground after being shot by arrows.

Then they saw the guy with a bow aiming on the hillside nearby, and they couldn't help but panic.

Under the scolding of the leader, they rushed forward in a mess.

One of the cavalrymen saw the shadow of an arrow, and then found that the arrow had hit his horse's head.

Then the cavalryman felt a force, and then his eyes went black and he felt pain all over his body.

The cavalryman reacted quickly, rolling on the ground to remove most of the force and just got up.

He knew it was not good when he heard the sound of horse hooves.

Then the head flew up in the next second, and it turned out that he just ran into the Green City cavalry charging over.

Riding +1!

A skill appeared in Yang Bo's mind, and this time the bandit cavalry left three more bodies.

The cavalryman who was shot by Yang Bo just now was not dead yet, and was chopped on the neck by Locke who rushed over.

Riding +1!

Then the bandit cavalryman actually ran directly into the mountain, and the other bandits who besieged the caravan also scattered.

The bandits left the bodies of 7 cavalrymen in this place.

However, Yang Bo was powerless at this distance, and these unmounted bandits were all heading for the woods on the mountain.

"Handy, good job!" Yang Bo came down from the mountain. Seven or eight knights from Green City were bandaging their wounds, and those who were not injured were on guard. Locke's arm was also injured, but it was not serious because of the armor.

"Thank you for the compliment, sir. I only have two fine iron arrows."

"I didn't expect our Mr. Rabbit Hunter to have such good archery skills."

"If Mr. Rabbit Hunter hadn't disrupted the formation of the bandits' charge, we would have to do it again."

"Mr. Rabbit Hunter, good job." Several knights from Green City praised Yang Bo.

At this time, more knights from Green City came one after another. Some of them saw that the matter was resolved here, so they hurried back to report the news.

Yang Bo saw that the caravan that was attacked had 7 people dead and a lot of people injured.

Because it is relatively close to Green City, the bodies of these people will be dragged to Green City. If it is far away, they will be buried on the spot, because the caravan is also afraid of secondary attacks by bandits.

After waiting for about 20 minutes, the infantry of Green City arrived.

"It turned out to be the spice caravan of the Holden family of the Silver Family. It is said that the goods of this caravan are worth more than 50,000 gold coins." Yang Bo learned the specific information of this caravan later.

None of this is important. The key is that the caravan gave some money to thank Green City for its rescue.

"Handy, a colleague wants to buy your credit for killing cavalry." Locke called Yang Bo to his office and asked in a low voice.

"Ah?"

"The credit for killing cavalry is the greatest. The highest credit can be exchanged for a title. In addition, this time it is to rescue the Silver Family, so the title is easy to obtain."

"Of course, the price given by the other party is absolutely worth it, 50 gold coins in cash and a bow worth at least 500 gold coins." Locke said again. .
