"Quick, quick, start the chariot and retreat quickly!"
"Where are the people? Where have they gone? All the guards who are still alive are here to help me. We must gain precious time to retreat!"
"Don't run around, don't run around, it's safest to stay in the chariot."
"Where are the glasses? Let him activate the chariot's stance defense quickly!"
"What, you told me that a lot of energy will be consumed at this time, how about I consume you first!"
"."
The communication frequency band was completely cut off by the "self-destruction attack" interference. Even when the Red Spider caravan was transmitting orders, Sean could only rely on Sean to stand on the top of the tank with a loudspeaker and roar.
However, there were few people in the dense fog, and the guards who were supposed to stick to their posts seemed to be frightened by the two rounds of rockets. A group of people ran in a panic, as if they had lost their way.
Compared with other enemies encountered by the Red Spider Caravan along the way, this enemy hidden in the thick fog in the early morning is not too rogue.
Their playing style is completely unorganized and they are just mindlessly burning money.
However, it was this seemingly mindless style of play that gave them an absolute advantage in this battle.
"Are they plunderers?" Vice-captain Joseph jumped up the stairs in a hurry: "If they are plunderers, we may be able to negotiate with them and hand over some of the goods. They certainly don't want to completely offend us.
foundation."
From the time Luke attacked to the end of the two waves of rockets washing the ground, only fifteen minutes at most had passed.
The armed force of the Red Spider Caravan is indeed stronger than those of ordinary predators, but that is because of the cutting-edge power of Luke's group wearing power armor.
No matter the number of others or the number of weapons, even the medium-sized shelters in Qinggang City cannot compare.
After all, the Red Spider Caravan is just a caravan.
The main purpose of the foundation's creation of caravans is to bring goods to all parts of the world and earn the price difference.
If we build an armed force that is stronger than the local shelter, it will not go to trade, but arrange for terrorists to start a war.
"No, it can't be a plunderer. There is absolutely nothing like that about a plunderer."
Sean's throat moved up and down. Although he denied Joseph's statement, he still couldn't say the word "brainless" in the end.
Needless to say, the tactics used by this group of enemies do work.
If the reputation of the Foundation cannot suppress the opponent in the future, then the fate of the Red Spider Caravan may be decided.
"Then can't we just escape in a chariot?" Joseph tentatively proposed a possible plan.
"Escape, escape to where?"
Sean shook his head helplessly.
Joseph was not good at combat matters, so it was understandable that he would speak in such unprofessional terms at this time.
"Since the other party is targeting us, running away will only reveal more flaws."
"Get ready, we have to give them some pain before we can negotiate!"
Yes, after seeing how wealthy the other party is.
Although the third wave of rockets had not yet struck, Sean had already seen the caravan's only ending.
As for whether the other party will agree to negotiate, or how much goods the caravan must give up before the other party is satisfied.
Sean silently calculated a number in his mind and suddenly started to sweat.
The price of 600 rockets alone would probably cost a quarter of the goods carried by the caravan.
Coupled with the ancient rules between the weak party and the strong party, half of the goods are handed over.
Even if the Red Spider caravan is able to evacuate safely in the end, only a quarter or less of its cargo will be left at most.
As for the other party who has a darker heart.
Sean couldn't stop thinking about losing all his money on this trip and returning to the foundation headquarters to sell off his family property.
But at this moment.
"Boss, look!" Joseph's voice suddenly broke the heavy atmosphere. His eyes widened, as if he had seen some incredible sight, "Is that Captain Luke?!"
Sean's thoughts were interrupted by Joseph's words. He couldn't help but raise his head and look in the direction Joseph pointed.
Through the thick fog, dozens of black figures were flickering and approaching in the distant mist, and the figure at the front of them really looked like Luke who had attacked with confidence before.
However, compared with the previous image, Luke seems to be surrounded by a group of black warriors, and his movements also look a bit stiff, as if he is being held hostage in the middle by the enemy.
Wait, it doesn’t look like blackmail?!
This guy is actually still talking and laughing with the enemy next to him. Has he chosen to rebel?
Sean frowned and carefully observed the scene in the distance, all kinds of speculations filling his mind.
Joseph next to him looked at Sean's reaction, and couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart, and even his eyes changed slightly when he looked at Sean.
If Luke really rebels, then the entire Red Spider Caravan will be in dire straits.
There is a high probability that the other party will not be satisfied with the negotiated goods, but will eat up the entire Red Spider caravan.
By then, people like Luke who are good at fighting may still get preferential treatment from the other party, but they, the powerless managers, may not be able to escape the tragic fate of captured slaves!
"Anyone who comes, please stop!" Sean's voice echoed in the empty camp, carrying an unquestionable sense of majesty and warning.
He took a deep breath and continued: "You have entered the stationing range of the Blue Star K-2 Area Foundation's fifth-level land caravan and the Red Spider Caravan. Please keep the necessary friendly distance and respect our stationing sovereignty.
Otherwise, we will have to regard your actions as provoking the Foundation and take corresponding measures to safeguard our rights and interests."
Although the two parties had already experienced a fierce confrontation, and provocation seemed a bit hypocritical at this time, Sean knew at this time that he had to stick to his position and not show any signs of cowardice.
Otherwise, if the foundation is lost as the only support, the other party will eat it up without any hesitation.
However, what is surprising is that the figure in the distance did not stop because of Sean's warning.
And as the distance got closer, Sean also discovered that these people had weird smiles on their faces.
Even Luke, whom he had always trusted, had a smile on his face at this time, as if he had reached some kind of ulterior agreement with these enemies.
"Damn it, are these guys sure to defeat us?"
Sean felt a strong uneasiness in his heart. His fingernails dug into his flesh unconsciously, and the slight pain seemed to be the embodiment of the anxiety in his heart.
Since becoming a caravan of the Foundation, this is the first time that the enemy has treated him with such contempt.
The other party didn't take the so-called "Foundation" seriously at all, and was indifferent to his warnings, as if he was watching a ridiculous farce.
With this kind of indifference and contempt, Sean couldn't help but recall Soma's meaningful advice when he left Tianyuan Shelter.
Indeed, the world has changed.
It is no longer realistic to rely on the power of the foundation to continue its past glory.
But at that time, he was still immersed in the glory and protection of the foundation and didn't take Sumo's words seriously.
If only I could have taken the manager's words seriously.
If I can escape from this group of people by chance this time.
Sean made up his mind to build the Red Spider Caravan into a real armed force.
Give up all unnecessary illusions and return to the jungle of the jungle in the early chaos of Blue Star.
"Boss. Boss, do you think the logos on the clothes of these people look familiar?"
At this moment, sharp-eyed Joseph suddenly spoke out, and his voice suddenly broke the tense atmosphere.
Generally speaking, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble on the chaotic Blue Star, all major forces will carefully design unique logos and print them on their members' clothing.
This is not only to facilitate the rapid identification of ourselves and the enemy in battle, but also to demonstrate one's deterrence to potential enemies.
For example, their Red Spider Caravan chose to print the foundation's conspicuous logo on their chariots.
Now he saw the conspicuous mark on the other person's chest. Although Joseph couldn't remember where he had seen it specifically, he always felt that it was very similar to a certain mark.
just like that
etc?
Isn't this logo just the Tianyuan Shelter logo with a different color?
Joseph still clearly remembered that when the caravan left before, the Tianyuan shelter had already made the first version of the shelter logo.
The entire logo adopts a circular design, and the overall tone is mainly gold and red.
In the center of the logo is a blooming lotus. Each petal of the lotus is delicate and delicate. The golden stamens are shining with light. Around the lotus, there are several red clouds. The clouds show a flowing posture, as if they are in the sky.
Dancing gracefully.
Now, the logos worn by this group of people are at least 90% similar to the lotus logo of Yuan Shelter that day.
The unique shape and smooth lines are all exactly the same!
Only the color scheme is different, from the original noble gold and red to the more vibrant blue and white, which seems to mean that this force has taken on a new look and is full of vitality.
"Tianyuan?"
This word flashed through Sean's mind instantly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
How could it be Tianyuan?
How could it be the group of dilapidated small villages in his memory?
How could it be that wilderness place where even farming requires human participation?
Sean tried hard to recall everything about Tianyuan Shelter, trying to find some clues to explain everything before him.
However, there were only a few images in his memory, which recorded the factories in Tianyuan Sanctuary that had just reached the level of Blue Star hundreds of years ago.
How are these connected?
"Boss, we finally found the right path. The people who attacked us just now are all from Tianyuan Sanctuary."
Luke happily walked under the chariot and shouted using the loudspeaker in the power suit.
If it weren't for the word "attack" in it, people would really be confused by what they saw.
"How do you prove your identity?" Sean's voice contained a hint of vigilance and doubt.
Tian Dadong scratched his head and smiled honestly, with a little embarrassment on his face: "Captain Sean, if it is convenient for you, can you turn off the signal interference? We can contact the lord and let him talk to you directly."
The flood really hit the Dragon King Temple, and the Tianyuan search and rescue team thought they had caught a big fish just now.
Unexpectedly, they turned out to be the Red Spider caravan that had left before, and now they were returning with a full load of goods.
If this really happened, the lord would not have to scold them to death when he got back.
Of course, it's just a curse.
The scope of the Tianyuan Search and Rescue Team's right to act expediently goes beyond this. In addition, the spies released by the Red Spider Caravan and the subsequent active signal blocking of the glasses are indeed serious provocations and attacks.
The search and rescue team took the initiative to fight back and achieved results. In a sense, they need to be praised.
"Signal interference. Yes, hurry up, go and let your glasses turn off the signal interference!"
Sean was stunned and quickly gave instructions to Joseph behind him.
The latter left quickly, and about three minutes later the chaotic electromagnetic wave environment finally returned to normal levels.
At this time, Sean still felt dizzy and could not recover.
Until Tian Dadong handed over the communication device and saw that familiar face on the screen.
Only then did Sean realize that what he was seeing was indeed not a dream.
They got lost several times, and the Tianyuan shelter they were looking for unexpectedly appeared in this way.
And in comparison, today's Tianyuan seems to have undergone earth-shaking changes and has become a giant crocodile that is difficult to offend!
Time shifts to noon.
After a false alarm, the Red Spider Caravan set off again, heading towards the territory under the guidance of the search and rescue team.
After hearing the news, Feng Tianmin came with his men and gave Sean the last piece of reassurance.
This is indeed not a dream!
The well-trained and well-armed special forces in front of them indeed came from that Yuan Sanctuary.
"Shawn, manager, I'm really sorry. When I get back, I will definitely bring these little brats to apologize to you." Feng Tianmin said serious words, but there was an uncontrollable smile on his face.
When the red spider caravan passed by in the wasteland in September of the first year, everyone in the territory was extremely nervous, fearing that the other party would attack.
However, eight months later, only the search and rescue team affiliated with the territory successfully defeated the Red Spider Caravan.
I dare not think about dispatching garrison troops, or the more elite volunteer army, Tianyuan Army.
How long can this red spider caravan last?
"Captain Feng, you are so kind."
Sean smiled bitterly, and the movement of grinding coffee beans in his hand couldn't help but tremble.
After three days of separation, treat each other with admiration.
It's ridiculous that they had thought that if they brought the goods to that Tianyuan territory this time, they would definitely be welcomed with great surprises, and they could even take the opportunity to raise the price and squeeze out a batch of goods from the other party.
But now, all illusions are shattered.
Even if Luke and others seriously underestimate the enemy, they cannot hide the opponent's strong strength.
"We left in a hurry last time, and we couldn't map the map when we left. It's also our problem to rush against Tianyuan this time."
"In this way, we are willing to sell the goods that will be traded next at a 20% discount!"
Sean gritted his teeth and ruthlessly divided 20% of the profits he could have gotten.
The price of goods obtained from the foundation is about 60% to 65% of the selling price, and half of the profit from the sale is handed over to the fund account as tax.
Now selling it at a 20% discount, the caravan's profit is only 10%.
Excluding the expenses of this trip, the caravan can only maintain its capital, not to mention making any profit.
But on another level, Sean believes that doing so is extremely worthwhile.
Eight months
In Blue Star, the only force that can be named among the forces that are developing at such a fast pace are companies!
