Chapter 454: Protected Richard

"Smack!"

Holding the inner wall of the carriage with one hand, Harvey regained his balance, and after understanding Richard's words, his expression was slightly solemn, "Do you suspect that there is a group of thieves, then we should really be careful......"

The next moment, Harvey thought of something, looked at Richard, and said very "righteously": "However, you don't have to be afraid, I will protect you - I promised you before, then I will do what I say." ”

Richard smiled and said, "Okay, trouble. ”

"Don't bother, when the time comes, you can see my strength, I will easily kill all the thieves and let them know how good I am. Harvey said, slowly pulling out the iron sword from the scabbard and holding it in his hand, then lifted the curtain of the carriage, and looked out solemnly to observe the situation. Richard lifted the curtain on the other side, also looking out.

"Squeak Squeak Squeak ......"

Outside, the entire convoy was moving at high speed in the middle of a wooded field. After a while, a dead tree on the side of the road with a single person hugging each other appeared in the field of vision, which was the dead tree mentioned by the head of the merchant group before - it did not look like it withered and fell naturally, but was deliberately moved here, and now it was removed by the mercenary team and put on the side of the road.

The appearance of dead trees has a high probability of being an ambush set up by the thieves, which can be regarded as a relatively fixed routine at the current time. However, after the whole convoy quickly passed through the dead trees, it did not find any bands of thieves in the woods on both sides of the road, and after driving for several miles, there was nothing abnormal.

The speed of the carriage did not decrease, but everyone in the convoy couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that it was a false alarm.

Harder, in the carriage of the four-wheeled carriage at the end of the convoy, lowered the curtain and withdrew his gaze. He pulled out the iron sword from its sheath and retracted it inch by inch into the scabbard, turned his head to Richard and said: "Strange, I didn't see the thieves, it seems that they were too timid, and they found that there were too many people in the caravan, so they gave up the robbery." ”

"Maybe. Richard spoke up, noncommittal.

......

The convoy continued on its way, but just as it had gone a few hundred meters, a rope suddenly appeared in the road in front of the convoy and was pulled and stretched. The carriage at the front couldn't react at all, and it crashed straight into it.

With a "snap", the rope broke under the tremendous impact, but the horse also tripped and lost its balance with the carriage pulled behind it, and flipped to the side of the road.

There were quite a few figures in the woods, brandishing their weapons, shouting at the convoy: "Stop, stop! Whoever dares to disobey will die to me!"

This!

Everyone was shocked!

It turned out that after many robberies, the thieves completely understood the minds of the passing caravans, and knew that too obvious traps would be guarded against, so they did not ambush near the dead tree at all, but ambushed behind the dead tree for a distance. Such a vigilant caravan can just relax and take it by surprise.

In fact, it is. For the people of the caravan, the appearance of the thieves was too unexpected, and they couldn't help but widen their eyes and were at a loss.

Fortunately, the mercenary team hired by the merchant group is not a parallel import, although the price is a little higher, but it plays its due role at this moment. The captain of the mercenary team, standing on the roof of a carriage in the middle of the convoy, shouted to the people in the convoy: "Don't stop, don't stop! Rush, rush out! Don't slow down all the carriages, keep rushing forward, rush out safely, listen to the thieves and stay only to be killed!"

Everyone was shocked, understood, and hurriedly controlled the carriage to accelerate forward.

Although the carriage in front overturned on the side of the road, it only occupied half of the road, and the rest of the carriage rushed over the other half of the road.

The thieves were in a hurry and said viciously: "Don't run, don't run, stop me, or you will regret it!"

The convoy simply ignored it.

Seeing that there was no way out, the thieves hurriedly tried to pull up the rope on the road again, preparing to stop a few carriages if they could.

"Drive, drive!"

"Pull up the rope and stop!"

"Rush over!"

"Stumble!"

"Accelerate!"

"Tight!"

"Da Da Da!"

"Smack!"

For a moment everyone went crazy, and the shouts pierced the sky.

The final result was that under the command of the leader of the mercenary team, most of the carriages of the convoy broke out of the encirclement of thieves, but a small number of unlucky carriages were left behind.

Unfortunately, the four-wheeled carriage in which Richard was riding was in one of the few places.

This really can't be helped, because of the large size, the four-wheeled carriage that Richard is sitting in has always followed the back of the convoy, and it is usually nothing, but when it comes to this kind of escape, it is extremely disadvantageous.

Several of the carriages in front of them were overturned by the ropes that had been pulled up, and the coachmen of the carriages managed to dodge them with all their might. Originally, he was about to escape, but what he didn't expect was that in order to escape faster, two carriages in front of him ran towards an already narrow road at the same time, and the next moment they collided with each other, completely blocking the road.

The carriage was left behind.

The fleeing convoy showed no sign of returning to the rescue, and the farther and farther it went, soon no shadow was visible. The whole road, except for the carriages left behind and the injured caravan members in the carriages, were many vicious thieves.

Richard in the carriage, in the face of this situation, still maintained a basic composure. Harvey gritted his teeth, slammed the wooden planks of the carriage, and scolded: "Damn, the people of the caravan are so unrighteous that they just ran away! ”

Richard: "......"

Harvey was obviously very emotional, and wanted to continue to vent, but saw the thieves walking towards the carriage left on the road, and moved towards the groom and the man who were injured by the overturn.

Probably because there were too few carriages left, the thieves were so angry that they had no intention of leaving them alive and killed them all.

"Ahhh

The screams kept rang out.

Harvey in the carriage was silent, his iron sword in his hand, his eyes a little red.

The next moment the thief's footsteps approached, and he walked towards the four-wheeled carriage, and with an "ah" sound, the groom outside the carriage was killed, and in an instant Harvey's eyes were bloodshot.

"Whew-"

Taking a deep breath and clenching his iron sword, Harvey whispered to Richard, "I'm going to teach these thieves a good lesson in a moment!

"Okay—"

At this time, the thief who killed the groom walked to the front of the carriage and tried to open the door of the carriage, making a "squeak" sound, and Harvey listened to the sound and stabbed it unceremoniously with an iron sword.

"Poof!"

The sword pierced the wooden plank of the carriage door and stabbed into the hapless thief.

"Ahh

A scream.

Harvey quickly drew his sword back, and there was a "pop" outside, and the thief's body fell to the ground.

"Bang!"

Harvey kicked open the broken wooden door of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage, and Richard followed.

After jumping out of the carriage, Richard turned his head to look around, and saw that the whole road was in shambles, and many of the carriages that had fallen over on the side of the road were falling apart, and the goods inside fell out and were thrown everywhere.

The jar containing the red dye fell to the ground and shattered, stained red, like flowing lava. The bag of high-grade salt powder was opened, and the salt grains were spread all over the ground, like a path of ice crystals. The box filled with duck feathers shattered, and the duck feathers floated in the sky, as if it was snowing heavily. In addition, there are numerous glass mirrors, inkwells, papyrus scrolls, dried fruits, and ......

In the midst of the multitude of goods, the corpses of horsemen and men were killed, without exception.

Now in the entire business group, there are only two left, Richard and Harvey. The thieves saw a companion killed by Hard, and they were approaching him, looking at him dangerously.
