Hankus glanced coldly at Long Yunfeng, then glared at the fearful man in his hand and asked: "Tell me! Why do you want to intercept our caravan openly!?"
The man was shocked and replied with a sad face: "Sir, there is really nothing we can do!"
"You have no choice? Then you can be so reckless if you have no choice? This is completely the nature of a thief!" Hankus snorted coldly.
The man was frightened: "little;;;little man;;;"
"Don't worry, just say it nicely, he won't dare do anything to you." Long Yunfeng held back his eyes at Hankus.
"You;;;" Hankus turned red with anger.
Seeing that Hankus seemed to be afraid of Long Yunfeng, the man began to sigh: "Alas~ Actually we are also forced to have no choice!"
"Hmph, you have no choice but to become a thief." Hankus sneered.
Hearing the sound, the man looked sad and said helplessly: "Being a thief? Do you think we all want it? Not long ago, our Hongri Town was robbed by thieves. My family, no, should be from here.
Everyone and everything, even my wife, was taken away by those vicious thieves, but we have no ability to resist at all."
As he said that, the man clenched his fists bitterly and his eyes turned red.
Everyone was shocked and felt sad for what happened to the man and his family in the town. Even Hankus became silent.
The man continued: "In order to survive, we have no choice but to become thieves, hoping to intercept the passing caravans and take advantage. Otherwise, we will not be able to survive at all. We will all die, so we can only take this strategy. I thought
, some passing caravans saw that we were in large numbers,
Everyone will give us some gold coins to send us away, and we will continue to live with this small property. I didn't expect to meet you today, which made our Red Sun Town pay a heavier price. Even if you are now
If you let us go, we will not be able to continue living in the future."
Finally, after hearing these words, everyone fell silent again, and could not help but lower their heads sadly.
Indeed, no one else would be forced to do this kind of thing, but it is just for survival.
Thinking of this, some people who were still holding swords dropped their swords, and even felt ashamed of their previous actions.
"Captain Hankus, now you should understand that they are just ordinary people trying to survive, but you are cruel and want to destroy them. Don't you feel that you have lost your most basic humanity?
?Now your subordinates are better than you!" Long Yunfeng said sarcastically.
Hankus's face flushed with anger and he said angrily: "Survive! Does survival mean you can be a thief?"
"Then what if you are the one who encounters this kind of situation?" Long Yun asked coldly.
"I;;;" Hankus seemed to have something stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how to answer.
"You can't even tell." Long Yunfeng held back his eyes with disdain, then took out a bag of gold coins from his arms, handed it to the man, and said: "There are five hundred gold coins in here, which is considered to be
As compensation for you, please don’t do this again next time, because you will encounter people who have lost their humanity at any time.”
"Thank you!" The man trembled and took the gold coins, his face full of gratitude.
Hankus knew that the person Long Yunfeng was referring to was him, but he didn't know how to refute, so he turned around and left in anger.
However, Long Yunfeng actually gave half of his group's rewards to the man, which also won the deep admiration of many people. Even Bard felt ashamed.
Long Yunfeng ignored Hankus and the others and said to the man: "Okay, you'd better go back first. As for what happened in your town, I also deeply sympathize with you. If possible, I will help you."
."
"Thank you! Thank you, sir!" The man looked touched, holding the bag of gold coins as a treasure, calling the remaining group of people, and left quickly.
Involuntarily, Long Yunfeng walked up to Karina and the others with a heavy expression.
"Yunfeng, aren't you going to help them? I think they are quite pitiful." Karina looked at Long Yunfeng with a pleading look.
"Yes, Yunfeng, how about we go find those nasty thieves together and kill them!" Kajiri said bitterly.
"Haha, if there is a chance, let's hurry up first." Long Yunfeng smiled lightly.
Kajiri and the others were stunned, wondering what Long Yunfeng meant.
In fact, Long Yunfeng already had an idea in mind. According to what the man said, thieves looted their town not long ago. If they were so rampant, then those thieves must have plans to stay in this area for a long time.
. So Long Yunfeng boldly guessed that the caravan was so large that the thieves would definitely be attracted to it.
Therefore, there will never be a chance of encountering those thieves.
At this time, Bader came over with a smile on his face and praised Long Yunfeng: "Captain Yunfeng, what you just did is really admirable. Therefore, I decided that after you complete the task, you will
I will give you an extra commission of five hundred gold coins, and the losses suffered by those people just now will be my compensation to them."
"Haha, thank you." Long Yunfeng smiled at Bard, and he couldn't help but feel good about Bard in his heart.
"You're welcome. Let's set off quickly. It won't be easy to leave if we play." Bud smiled.
"Yeah." Long Yunfeng nodded slightly.
Although gold coins were not important to Long Yunfeng, it was Bard's inadvertent kindness that made Long Yunfeng completely determined to protect the caravan.
At this time, Hankus and his Red Fire Mercenary Group were also ready according to the original arrangement.
The angry Hankus said loudly: "Brothers! Let's set off!"
Immediately, the long caravan continued to set off again, but because of what happened just now, everyone's hearts seemed extremely heavy, and the entire atmosphere was relatively quiet, and it no longer looked like the slapstick before.
But the strange thing is that this time Long Yunfeng and the others did not fall at the back, but deliberately walked in the middle of the caravan.
;;;;;;After a whole morning and dozens of miles of walking, everyone discovered that, as the man said before, there was indeed a small town nearby.
However, this small town has been looted. Looking around, you can see that it is in a mess. It is dilapidated everywhere, and nowhere is it like a place where people live.
Because of what happened before, everyone deliberately did not dare to approach the town, but deliberately made a circle and went around the town. However, when everyone passed by the town, they felt in their hearts
Everyone in the city couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt, but no one even raised their heads.
The silence lasted nearly ten miles.
Suddenly, the entire caravan stopped again under the wave of Hankus.
This time it was different. What they were facing was a dangerous mountain peak, and between the peaks, there was a grand canyon with a wide passage inside.
Long Yunfeng had already noticed this canyon, and seemed to have noticed something, and smiled secretly.
At this time, Bud walked down and said seriously: "We have arrived at the Red Sun Canyon. The road here is not easy to walk."
"Mr. Budd." Hankus walked over.
It happened that Long Yunfeng also walked up to Mr. Budd when Hankus was approaching, deliberately glanced at the angry Hankus, and said solemnly to Budd: "Mr. Budd, I see this."
It doesn’t seem very peaceful inside the canyon, so why don’t we take a detour.”
Hankus was stunned. The problem Long Yunfeng mentioned was exactly the problem he wanted to express. Hankus was so angry that he felt unbalanced. He must not be led by Long Yunfeng, so he deliberately sang the opposite.
He said in a normal way: "Mr. Bud, don't forget,
If we go around, we will need to add a lot of distance, and looking at the terrain, even if we go around, it will not be very peaceful. It is better for us to go directly through the canyon while it is still dark.
It can save a lot of time.”
"Hmph, don't you know that the situation in the canyon is extremely unfavorable to us? If thieves ambush us, then we will have no way out, and I suspect that the thieves they are talking about are hiding in the canyon.
"Long Yunfeng said coldly.
"No way out? That's because you don't have the ability. As for those thieves, it's just your guess. Even if there are, my sword will never spare them." Hankus showed off the sharpness in his hand.
sword.
Long Yunfeng smiled secretly. It seemed that his idea was successful, and he said calmly: "Then let Mr. Bard decide."
Hearing the sound, Bud hesitated for a long time, then looked at the high-risk Grand Canyon, and finally said with determination: "Okay, we will go in from the canyon, but we will only advance half of the goods. If there is really a problem
If so, it will be easier to evacuate then."
"Well, that makes sense, then let's divide half of the goods in first, and if there's no problem, let others deliver the second half of the goods." Hankus replied.
"Okay, then how are you going to be responsible for these two halves of the goods?" Bud couldn't help but look at Long Yunfeng and Hankus.
"I think these thieves are greedy people. If we get the first half of the goods first, if there are thieves, they will definitely ambush us immediately. Even if they know that there is still the second half of the goods, they will attack the first half first.
Let’s start, so the second half of the goods
The transportation of goods is absolutely the safest. Mr. Budd and your servants can be responsible for it. As for the first half of the goods, we need to concentrate all the strength of our entire caravan and cannot be dispersed, so it is left to the two of us.
The mercenary group will go all out to transport it," Hankus said.
"Well, that's fine, just do what Captain Kus wants." Bud nodded.
"I have no objection." Long Yunfeng said calmly.
Here, there are six carriages filled with goods, so the first three carriages are separated, and the two mercenary groups, Red Fire and Ziyan, are jointly responsible, while Bard and his men are waiting outside the Red Sun Canyon.
information.
However, for the safety of their employer, Bard, Hankus and Long Yunfeng each sent a subordinate to protect Bard and the others.
Therefore, Luo Ke from the Red Fire Mercenary Group and Sen Lan from the Purple Flame Mercenary Group were responsible for staying.
Immediately, after the distribution was completed, the two mercenary groups began to escort the goods on the first three carriages and officially entered the Red Sun Canyon.
