Chapter 374: Impermanence

"Say, are there too many robbers recently?"
"I have met four groups in this half a month, and each one is stronger than the other."
"Why doesn't the Imperial Army care?"
"Masters? I guess I'm busy fighting foreign countries now."
"You adventurers are okay, the more chaotic, the more you earn."
"We are making money with our lives!"
"Who said no? My brother, Irving, had planned to get married at the end of this month, but who thought, died in the hands of a robber, alas ..."
Countless complaints came from the outside. In terms of tone, both caravan guards and adventurers seemed to be dissatisfied with the chaos.
But everyone knows that their complaints won't help.
If it is a town, the aristocrats and the guards will naturally not let these "pests" make trouble on their own sites, but if the location is a wild country, then they have no interest.
After all, it does n’t belong to their own territory. No matter how chaotic it is, they will not be affected. Besides, even if it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to destroy the robbers, there will not be much credit. No one wants to do it.
Regardless of the local aristocracy, the great men of the imperial capital were busy fighting again, which caused ordinary people to suffer.
The big businessmen are okay, the caravan has enough strength to hire guards and adventurers, but small financial vendors and ordinary pedestrians are not the same. They do not have much self-protection strength, and they have clearly become the fragrant eyes in the eyes of the robbers. Alas.
There are hundreds of people in Wang Jun. Apart from a few small caravans, the rest are sporadic adventurers.
Even if they go together, because of their different forces, they naturally have different abacus in mind.
Don't look at the crowd now talking and laughing, but know that before departure, these people almost argued because of various things.
From the order of the team to the responsibility of each force, there is a huge controversy. If it is not too dangerous at night in the wild, these guys may be able to argue until tomorrow morning.
But thanks to this, even if Wang Jun has been hiding in the carriage, not many people will care.
Oh oh ...
The strange sound made everyone vigilant, but soon they found it was a fuss, the direction of the sound, and two unknown birds were tweeting.
"What a strange bird, dare to scare me!"
The grumpy guards in the team raised their bows and arrows and aimed at the birds in the tree.
However, his archery level was obviously not bad, and his arrow was a bit outrageous, only hitting the branch under the strange bird.
The strange bird was frightened, fluttered with its wings and fled, and the archery guard immediately laughed.
Seeing this scene, some people followed the guards to coax the fleeing strange birds, and some people showed disdainful eyes, but Wang Jun didn't care about them at the moment. At this moment, he just wanted to pass here in peace, and then this Group of guys respectively.
The team continued to move forward, and the voice of the strange bird sounded from time to time, but because of previous experience, no one was fussed by the instructor, even the irritable guard just chose to ignore it at this time.
"What's wrong?" Wang Jun showed a strange look in the carriage when she saw Ai Xi with a slightly different expression.
"Master Dean, the voice just made was not from a bird, it was a human." Ai Xi gave an answer that surprised Wang Jun.
"you sure?"
"Although they mimic closely, there is a difference between human voices and bird voices."
Wang Jun now believes.
Who is Ashe?
Genie!
The elves are born with an incredible affinity for nature. If Ai can distinguish between humans and birds, Wang Jun would not be surprised at all.
The strange cry sounded again, Wang Jun glanced at Ai, who nodded, signalling that the sound was also made by humans.
Wang Jun was not calm at once.
As soon as I heard the voice, I knew that they were very close to them, that is, not far away, someone relied on the secret of the woods to borrow the voice of this strange bird to convey the message.
What are these people?
Just think about why they go together.
Wang Jun put on his cloak again, and then got off the carriage with Ai.
Others were a little surprised, especially when they saw something in Wang Jun's mouth, and when a strange elemental eye appeared, they were even more puzzled.
But soon, they realized Wang Jun's intention to do so.
Because under the light of the elemental eye, they clearly saw a figure that had been ignored previously.
Raising his hand, Ish summoned the Elven Bow.
Frost arrows burst out, and soon a painful wailing came from the front.
The guy hiding in the tree rolled and fell from above.
"I went to see!"
An unknown adventurer rushed up the first time, and soon others also reacted and immediately followed.
"No way, this guy is dead."
When Wang Jun approached, he was found to be so strong that he had lost his breath.
Ashe shot very decisively and completely avoided the key point of the robber. Frost Arrow also shot through the right leg of the robber.
But the robber was dead.
It wasn't that he was shot and killed by Frostbolt. It looked as if he fell from a tree and broke his neck badly.
At this moment, the neck of the dead robber was twisting in a strange arc.
"It would be nice if we could catch the living, at least forcing the whereabouts of the robbers."
Many people in the team made a sigh of regret. Of course, more of them looked at Wang Jun behind him.
You know, if Wang Jun hadn't found it in time and used unknown magic to find the robbers, maybe they are still in the dark.
Everyone felt a little chilling at the thought of a robber trailing all the way.
"this……"
Just now the boss of a small caravan wanted to come close, but Wang Jun didn't interrupt his intentions by raising his hand in face, the former was a bit annoyed, but after seeing Wang Jun's next move, he was wise He swallowed the words in his mouth, and gestured to make his guard stand by.
"What are you doing looking at me like this?" It was the first adventurer who rushed to look at the robber. At this moment, he found that Wang Jun was looking at himself with a playful look.
"One of the bird calls that just rang out was from the dead guy, and the other was you." Aich raised her hand and, in the eyes of everyone's surprise, issued a charge against the adventurer: "You are hiding in Strong in the team. "
Everyone heard the words, one side showed a surprised look, on the other hand they were vigilant and took up their weapons.
"This little girl, you can't talk nonsense. When did you see me learn to call birds?"
"I did not see it."
"then you……"
"But I can hear it." Ashe said, the adventurer laughed with pride at her face, stiffened: "Your voice has betrayed you."
"Are you really a robber?" Many people in the crowd also questioned the adventurers.
"Joke, how could I be a robber, I'm just an adventurer passing by."
"Since you're an adventurer, what about your adventurer?"
"I ..." The adventurer was obviously a little panicked, and he obviously didn't expect that things would go against him.
"Since there is no way to prove it, you can only wrong you temporarily."
Either a businessman or an adventurer is present, and naturally there is not much sympathy for a guy who is not familiar with him.
Although they didn't know that Aich's identification by sound alone was unreliable, but if the latter could not prove his identity, they would not mind putting people under house arrest first.
"Drop your weapon and don't resist. We ensure your personal safety. When we get to a safe place, we naturally have a way to confirm whether you are a robber."
I have to say that this is undoubtedly the best way without considering the feelings of the parties.
If it is an ordinary person, in the face of this situation, naturally will not choose meaningless resistance.
But the adventurer in front of him apparently did not intend so.
When the guard was holding the rope and tried to tie him up, the guy suddenly got into trouble.
I didn't know where to draw the dagger, and ruthlessly cut through the guard's neck. When the latter fell in pain while covering the spring wound, I saw him fled quickly.
But his efforts are bound to be futile.
Even if he could take advantage of everyone to kill a guard, the rest would not easily spare him.
After confirming his identity as a robber, the crowd would not show mercy.
Under the premise of keeping alive, all the tricks that can be used in everything have been used on this fake adventurer.
By the time he was caught again, he was already immature.
His hands and feet have been broken. Not only that, in order to prevent suicide, someone even crushed all his teeth for the first time and made sure that no poison was hidden inside.
"If you don't want to die, just say, where are your lairs, and how many people are there!"
"Pooh!"
In response to the interrogation, there was a sip of blood, and the person asking did not rush, and landed on his face.
Wang Jun's brow frowned suddenly.
Generally, a robber who robs a road will be so tough and not afraid of death.
Under normal circumstances, once you are caught, in order to survive, you must give everything you know immediately.
But at the moment, Wang Jun clearly saw a trace of determination from the other side.
Obviously, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to pry open the opponent's mouth.
Fortunately, this one has something called vomiting agent.
The captured robber was hard-spoken, but he obviously did not have the strength to resist vomiting.
So when some of the merchants took out this alchemy potion, he seemed a little excited.
"Broken teeth, still want to commit suicide?"
The guard holding the vomiting agent squeezed the robber's mouth, then poured the vomiting agent down.
Soon the robber's eyes became cloudy.
"you guys……"
Uh ...
The sound of a broken sound sounded, and Wang Jun subconsciously brought Ai and Jake to his side, and then opened the barrier.
The next moment, a scream came from the crowd.
Many people fell under the sudden arrow rain.
"A robber, it's a robber!"
While the guards shouted, while holding up their shields to resist the arrow rain, the magicians began to sing. Some people opened up the magic enchantment, while others tried to use attack magic to fight back the robbers who were shooting arrows.
As for Ai, he has now left under the protection of Wang Jun, jumped into the big tree in front of him, found the place with the widest vision, and then started the attack.
"You bastards, don't worry about those robbers to protect our goods!"
"It's burning, it's burning. Go and extinguish it!"
Not all of them chose to fight, and a few abrupt voices rang out from the crowd. It was the leaders of the small caravans.
Facing the robbers, these money-loving guys chose to give priority to protecting and protecting their goods. It was also because of their stupidity and selfishness that they dispersed the firepower on the robbers.
The strength of the double counterattack was originally between Bozhong, but the robbers had a clear goal and had the same command. In terms of action, they were far higher than the temporary team.
In addition, many guards and employed adventurers obeyed the command of the caravan leader. They did not join the battlefield for the first time but chose to protect the caravan's property. The balance of victory gradually tilted towards the robbers.
"Fight, fight!"
Many people roared and tried to awaken the selfish caravan leaders, but the situation became more and more difficult. Where would the selfish merchants choose to fight?
When others are desperate, these selfish guys are already running under their command.
At a critical time, this unreliable camp finally fell apart.
"Dean Wang Jun, why don't we run?" Jack's frightened proposal.
They are not businessmen, and there are no valuable goods on the carriage ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The robbers want to plunder wealth, and will certainly not put too much energy on them.
So as long as they want to run, the robbers will most likely not chase them, but let them go.
Wang Jun also knew this, but the problem was that he didn't choose to leave. It wasn't that he was determined to live and die with other people, but just before his decision, an extremely comedy scene happened.
The robber's attack on him weakened!
It's not that the robbers have compassion on them, or that they want to catch them alive in exchange for ransom.
These robbers, after seeing a large amount of goods being transported, actually left them, and chose to pursue the fleeing merchants!
Those who stayed in the fight fell into aggression for a while.
They were clearly betrayed by their companions, and they had to turn into tragic deserters.
But what happened?
The fleeing people attracted attention, and they, the abandoned children, escaped the danger.
Although you think about it, it is not without reason.
After all, the purpose of being strong is not to kill people, but to plunder wealth. There is no reason to leave a large number of finances un chased and stay with them.
But still have to make people lament that things are impermanent.
