This group of sturdy horse thieves, led by Feng Fury, retreated very neatly and without any hesitation.
In fact, their losses were not huge. There were less than thirty corpses left in front of the merchant camp, and most of them died under the firepower of the Ares Armed Forces.
Moreover, those who died were basically low-level warriors. Many horse thieves were hit by close-range defense artillery and managed to survive relying on their protective armor. They were only injured.
The main force of the Storm Bandits is still intact.
But it is reasonable for the leader of the horse thieves, Feng Nu, to make such a choice.
Because the existence of Gao Jing was completely beyond his expectation, the original plan was completely disrupted.
The powerful lethality displayed by the God of War's weapons also made the famous Storm Sword deeply fearful.
He didn't know what kind of trump card Gao Jing had hidden, so he decisively stopped the loss after weighing it.
This kind of behavior is the same as that of wolves in the wilderness. They can bear sacrifices, but they must be valuable.
Feng Fury will not use his brother's life to vent his anger on his opponent.
But he also firmly remembered Gao Jing.
Like the vengeful wolf king!
"Uha!"
When the last Storm Bandit disappeared from sight, the merchant knights and warriors guarding the camp unanimously let out cheers of joy and excitement.
They are all ready to fight to the death with the violent thief, and are willing to sacrifice their lives.
I didn't expect this battle to end so anticlimactically.
The storm bandits left behind more than twenty corpses. On the merchant group's side, only two servants were accidentally shot by stray arrows and died. The number of injured was also very small, so the losses could be said to be negligible.
The most important thing is that all the goods are saved!
After the excitement, everyone turned their attention to Gao Jing, who was still standing in front.
It can be said that without the sudden appearance of Gao Jing's magic weapon, the Storm Bandits would never have been repelled so easily.
He is the biggest contributor to this victory!
Huo Xiong stepped forward and said gratefully: "Your Excellency Gao Jing, it's really thanks to you this time!"
As he spoke, his eyes swept over the howitzers and close-in defense cannons on the left and right arms of the Ares Arms.
Secretly guessing what kind of witchcraft this is, it is so sharp!
The Ares weapon controlled by Gao Jing moved.
He "switched" back to his original giant form in an instant!
It was so fast that even with Huo Xiong's eyesight, he couldn't clearly see how Gao Jing did it.
This gave the leader of the business group more unfathomable feelings about Gao Jing.
In fact, switching back and forth between high scenes relies on the copper anchor's ability to travel between planes and the mystery of the two worlds stopping when they are relative to each other.
Just being in the eyes of everyone in the business group makes me feel very magical!
Gao Jing smiled and said: "We're all in the same boat, you're welcome."
Gao Jing didn't care, but Huo Xiong couldn't help but express his feelings.
He asked the soldiers from the merchant group to cut off the heads of the dead horse thieves, smear them with antiseptic medicine and pile them on the car.
These heads are the results of Gao Jing's battle.
Of course Gao Jing's request for the head of the violent wind thief is of no use, but ever since Feng Nu led his people to rebel, this powerful violent wind thief has been an important wanted criminal in the Thousand Island City.
When Feng Fury led the Storm Bandits to plunder everywhere, the City of Thousand Islands was very worried. The bounties placed on the heads of the leader of the horse thieves and a group of his men were getting higher and higher.
These more than twenty heads of the Storm Thieves can be exchanged for real money in the Thousand Island City!
And it's not a small amount of money.
In addition, Huo Xiong also has another reward: "After returning to the City of Thousand Islands, 10% of the goods will be yours!"
This is the sincerity of the Huo Luan Merchant Group. Most of the rewarded heads in front of them were originally from Gao Jing. Huo Xiong just asked his subordinates to help them deal with them.
"Can I not want the goods?"
This time Gao Jing was no longer polite and asked directly: "Including the heads of these horse thieves, I will give them all to you."
Huo Xiong understood immediately: "It's okay to change it to shell coins!"
He thought Gao Jing was troublesome.
Although the Storm Bandits have retreated, no one can guarantee that they will not come back.
As the reinforcements from the Thousand Islands City have not yet arrived, the Huoluan Merchant Group still needs the help of a high-level powerhouse like Gao Jing.
Therefore, even if Gao Jing makes more requests, Huo Xiong will still consider them.
"Coins are fine too."
Gao Jing smiled and said: "It would be best if it could be replaced by Star Iron."
People who only give without asking for anything in return are extremely rare in the big world, and Gao Jing has no intention of being an exception.
From another perspective, his request would actually make Huo Xiong feel at ease.
"Star Iron is no problem."
Huo Xiong replied without thinking: "We should have inventory in our store in the City of Thousand Islands, and the discount will be given to you."
Gao Jing was satisfied: "Thank you."
Star iron is a special metal produced in the big world. It is an important material for refining high-level witchcraft and making high-level weapons. It has excellent toughness and solidity.
This metal only exists in black iron ore, and its content is very low. It is difficult and costly to extract.
After Gao Jing killed the Black Mountain Python, he unexpectedly obtained a batch of high-purity star iron.
Originally, he planned to use this batch of star iron to hire someone to refine equipment, but it was discovered in the main world that star iron had extremely powerful superconducting properties, and then it became the most important trading item with him.
The demand for star iron above is unlimited.
As a provider of Star Rail, Gao Jing has obtained some privileges that are simply impossible for ordinary people to obtain.
Such as customizing and purchasing arms!
In the battle just now, if the God of War's weapons were not equipped with howitzers and close-range anti-aircraft guns, Gao Jing would most likely have had to fight the Storm Bandits at close range.
Winning or losing is unpredictable, but it is absolutely impossible to defeat this group of fierce horse thieves so easily.
Through practical application, Gao Jing discovered that whether it is a howitzer or a close-range anti-aircraft gun, it is very difficult to defeat enemies equipped with armor, and it is necessary to strengthen the power of weapons and ammunition!
That's why he asked Huo Xiong to exchange some star iron for future transactions.
Everyone is happy.
The Huoluan merchant group, which had survived the disaster, still stuck to the camp and had no intention of leaving.
Until dusk at sunset, a troop of cavalry appeared.
The reinforcements sent by Thousand Islands City have arrived!
Only a large merchant group like Huo Luan has such a strong presence. If it were another small merchant group, let alone having the ability and means to ask for help, even if Thousand Islands City knew about it, they might not be able to send out elites.
Come to the rescue.
That night, the Huoluan merchant group warmly entertained the reinforcements.
The next morning, the merchant group broke camp and hit the road. Under the escort of this heavily armed cavalry, they continued towards the Thousand Islands City.
Everyone speeded up along the way.
But the Storm Bandits never appeared again, as if this group of horse thieves had disappeared.
On the afternoon of the third day, the azure endless lake appeared in front of the business group!
