Chapter 64: Gangsters Attack
After Tamara left angrily, Enzo also returned to his tent.
Darkness has completely fallen. Apart from the light beside the fire, it is no longer possible to see anything outside. The blizzard forest has also fallen into silence. Except for the occasional rustling of branches in the wind, no movement can be heard.
After getting into his sleeping bag, Enzo was about to rest when a sound suddenly came from outside the tent.
"What's going on?" Enzo got up and walked out of the tent with a frown.
Not far from the fire, a seriously injured figure staggered over and fell to the ground before he even got close to the caravan's carriage.
Other members of the brigade were also awakened by the sound and walked out of the tent one after another. The guard captain Nick walked quickly and helped the seriously injured man up. When he saw the man's face clearly, his expression suddenly changed.
"Cobain! What's wrong with you?" Nick exclaimed.
"Gangs! My brothers and I went hunting in the forest, and we were attacked by a gang." Cobain said with a painful expression, covering his bloody abdomen.
"What? There's a gang!?" The expressions of the guards around him changed slightly.
"Cobain, are you sure you have met a gang?" Not far away, the guards moved out of the way. Tamara walked over calmly and said in a deep voice, "Our brigade has been walking this route in the Blizzard Forest for a long time. , but I have never encountered a gang."
The brigade has been trading around all year round and has long been familiar with the distribution of gangs. Due to the harsh environment and inaccessible people in the Blizzard Forest, there have never been gangs. It is precisely because of this that the Tamara brigade chose this remote route to go to Silver. Moon Kingdom.
"Sister, I'm sure they are gangs." Cobain gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "Those guys should be gangs that came from the Cold Fields or the Blood Wilderness. Their number is about 80. My brothers and I were in the Hunting an elk and being attacked.”
"The leader of that gang was a knight, and he was extremely cruel. He directly killed the brothers who were hunting with me. In the chaos, I was the only one who escaped."
"Knight!" Tamara's face changed slightly, she looked at Nick solemnly and said, "What do you think? Nick."
"Everyone pack their things and prepare to leave here immediately." Nick's eyes flickered, and after pondering for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "If there are knights in that group of gangsters, Cobain will never come back alive, unless the other party intends to fish for a long time." Big fish!”
Tamara's expression changed and she spoke decisively.
"Everyone listen to the order and pack your bags immediately. Let's leave here."
The brigade guards received the order and prepared to pack their bags.
But at this moment, a group of birds suddenly flew in the forest in the distance, the trees swayed slightly, and there was a sound of horse hooves.
"It seems it's too late!" Nick raised his head slightly, his eyes were solemn, and he said solemnly: "Madam, please retreat to the rear first. The rest of the people follow orders and get ready for battle. The gangsters are coming soon!"
Tamara's face paled slightly, but she remained calm.
Under Nick's command, the caravan guards quickly took action. This was not the first time the brigade encountered gangsters, so they had long experience in facing the enemy. They first pushed all the carriages to the outside to form a semicircular defense. Circle, then extinguish the fire, hiding itself in darkness.
Herod!
The neighing of the horses was getting closer and closer, and Nick looked solemnly into the depths of the forest.
call out! Between the trees, a spear shot out.
"Ugh!!" A guard screamed. The spear that came from the depths of the forest was extremely fast and contained cyan fighting energy. It directly penetrated the defensive circle formed by the carriage and hit the guard in the chest. at.
Nick's eyes flashed, his face became more solemn, and the guards around him also acted as if they were facing an enemy.
"Hahaha, finally I've got a fat sheep!"
"Come on! Kill them all!"
"Cute little lambs, Uncle Mokaxi is here!!"
Accompanied by piercing howls, a group of gangsters rushed out of the forest on horseback. These guys were dressed in chaos and seemed to have no discipline at all, but they were all carrying weapons such as spears and machetes, and there were many of them. , about 7 or 80.
The guards hiding behind the carriage were a little nervous. There were more than three times as many gangsters as them on the opposite side.
"Little fat sheep, do you still want to hide behind the carriage?" Among the many gangsters, a burly man with strong chest muscles and tattoos on his arms rushed to the front, brandishing two heavy hammers. He yelled, "Get out of here and surrender. Uncle Mokaxi is in a good mood and may let you leave alive!"
"Double Hammer Mokashi? Now we're in trouble." Nick frowned, secretly thinking that it was not good.
The notorious wanted criminal of the Ludin Kingdom, Mokashi, nicknamed "Two Hammers", was originally a knight loyal to a noble in the north of the kingdom. Later, for unknown reasons, he brutally murdered the noble's family and was subsequently punished. Wanted in the kingdom, he became the leader of a gang after living in the wilderness.
"Why don't you come out and surrender?" Mokaxi waved his hammers. Seeing that there was no movement behind the carriage, he grinned and said, "Brothers, go ahead, kill all these pigs, take away everything they have, and finish this." Tickets, we can be happy for a while again!”
"Come on, kill them all!"
"Woman! I want a woman!"
The gangsters cheered and howled, and charged in the opposite direction of the carriage excitedly. With their numerical advantage, they were sure that it would only take a few rounds of charges to kill all the fat sheep in front of them and steal everything from them.
"Brothers of the gang, please wait a moment!"
Seeing the bandits charging, Nick shouted loudly: "We are all for survival, there is no need to fight to the death, we are willing to offer tribute, please give us a chance, Boss Mokasi."
When the caravan travels through the wilderness, it is inevitable to encounter bandits.
However, in most cases, the two sides will not necessarily fight when they meet, because according to the rules of the wilderness, if the caravan encounters a bandit, as long as it can pay enough tribute, it can leave safely, and the bandits will not kill them all, after all, they also understand the principle of exhausting the pond to catch fish.
"Tribute? Haha, do you know the rules well?" Hearing Nick's voice, Mokasi showed an ugly expression on his face, grinning and said: "In this case, then get out quickly and see what tribute you can give to satisfy me."
"Thank you, Boss Mokasi." Nick breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the back of the carriage.
The guards opened the defensive circle formed by the carriages, revealing an opening large enough for one person to pass through. Nick calmed himself down and walked out. He first glanced at the gangsters, then looked at Mokasi who was holding two hammers.
