C168 Mad Warring Race
This exquisite carriage was made from the finest materials. The heavy black body of the carriage, which carried a noble aura, as well as the exquisite carvings on the carriage, all of which were decorated with golden patterns, all of which displayed the noble status of the owner of the carriage.
In front of and behind the horse carriage, there were dozens of knights wearing light armor. They were riding fine horses and carrying long swords. Their armor was polished and their weapons were shiny.
Along the way, Long Bufan finally experienced the treatment of a noble, having servants to accompany him and enjoying his food and clothing, it could be said that they were sightseeing and touring the mountains and rivers, where everyone would camp and roast meat to eat and drink when they were resting, it was really fun.
Five days later, Long Bufan and the rest arrived at a secluded area. There were few people around, and on the way, Long Bufan felt that something was amiss, as if someone was following them. As a result, when he sent Lil 'White to spy around, he discovered a group of people sneakily following behind him.
There were more than a dozen of them, but they were all riding horses and had no goods. They should be able to catch up soon enough with their own team. But strangely, they only followed behind in the dark, purposely not allowing the people behind to discover them.
Clearly, there was something wrong here!
Moreover, the mountain was extremely dangerous here. An extremely steep mountain was blocking the way, and the crack in the middle could barely accommodate three horses. This gorge was over ten miles long, and the mountains on both sides were dozens to hundreds of meters tall. It was definitely a dangerous place that could only be opened by one man.
Therefore, Long Bufan ordered them to find a place near the Gorge that was close to water sources and camp out there where it was easy to defend but hard to attack.
Until night time, after the group had eaten dinner, Long Bufan called for Li Yun and said: "Behind us are a few suspicious looking fellows who are always following us!"
Li Yun was stunned and asked curiously, "General, you've always been at the front of the team, how did you know?"
Long Bufan did not waste any words and told them about Little White's discovery.
After Li Yun heard this, his thick eyebrows creased. He fiercely said, "Sir, how about I lead my men and capture them now!"
Long Bufan frowned, and shook his head: "It's dark now, do you know the location? If we were to run away and alert them, that would be bad! "
Li Yun who only knew how to fight was stunned, he scratched his head and said, "Sir, then what do you think we should do?"
Long Bufan rubbed his nose, the corners of his mouth curled up: "This way ?!"
"It seems like the news we received was indeed correct." In a tree forest not far from where Long Bufan and the others were camping, a bald man said gloomily to a big fellow with a full beard in front of him.
"Hmm, if this is a success, we can at least be full for a while."
The bearded man's name was' Da Qiang ', he was a cautious and careful bandit leader, his cultivation had also reached the Earthly Yuan Early Stage, he was in charge of scouting and leading the team, because the mission this time was important, he personally came here, normally he would not rashly take action.
This was because a few days ago, they had received news from a mysterious person. A hundred boxes of treasure, two hundred carts of food, and a caravan of many precious goods had passed by. However, there were around a hundred cavalry soldiers escorting them. From the looks of their equipment, they were regular soldiers.
Although they knew that it belonged to the Shangguan Family, Da Qiang and the others were not afraid at all.
"Brother Qiang, what do you think about us coming here this time?" the subordinate beside him asked.
Da Qiang's eyes were firm and determined, and he said arrogantly: "What's wrong with that? Although they look pretty strong, but we don't have that kind of ability, we are after all, part of the Mad Warring Race!
"I don't think so. I've observed them carefully. Their equipment is much better than the mercenaries we've seen. If we were to recklessly attack them, we would suffer heavy losses!"
"But if we don't, then our village will lose its rations!"
They, Mad Warring Race, were born with a berserk physique and were strong in terms of power. However, after going berserk, there was a disadvantage in them, and that was that they would lose all sense of reason, and could not differentiate between friend and foe. Therefore, an organization like the army, which paid close attention to teamwork on the battlefield, would generally reject people from the Mad Warring Race.
As for the other merchants, they were also afraid of the Berserkers. They were afraid that if they accidentally provoked them, they would become a Berserker and lose their lives. Just like that, the excluded Mad Warring Race became poorer and poorer. Under the pressure of life, they could only hide in secluded areas and become robbers.
Da Qiang patted his subordinate's shoulders, and instructed: "After we finish eating, let's rest. Remember to send a few more people to keep watch.
That subordinate said in surprise, "How is that possible? We are more than five kilometers away from them. How could we possibly be discovered?"
Da Qiang frowned, and continued cautiously: "Being careful is still a good thing, tomorrow, if they enter the gorge, they will immediately signal for us brothers to attack!"
The night passed quickly and quietly. At this time, the robbers sent out scouts to report that Long Bufan's group had all left.
"Let's hurry up and scout the base. Don't let them get too far away!" Da Qiang ordered.
Just like this, the group of people quickly arrived at the campsite where Long Bufan and the others stayed last night. There were only a few wooden piles and some ashes from a bonfire.
