Chapter 666: Sand thief

, The fastest update of the latest chapter of the mysterious world under steampunk!
When the caravan stopped and began building fortifications, Leo’s pack was also part of the fortifications under command, and its position was right next to the convoy where the child was.
After setting up the pack animal, the owner of the pack car jumped on the car and hid in the tent. The wooden board used to defend the arrows in the tent was erected to add a little defense and picked up the car. A couple of years old bows and crosses sat nervously near the entrance and looked out.
While nervously checking the situation outside, he also told Leo the news he had heard, and worried that Leo was not clear about the sand owl. He also gave some details about the owl.
This owl is both the name of a sand thief group and the name of a person. No one knows what this person's original name was, but from the brand mark on him, it can be seen that he should be a slave.
How did the owl change from a slave to a thief leader? These things are not known to the outside world. The Savile tribes only knew that the owl was very bold at the first shot. He led his men to rob the western city-states and handed over to the kingdom. Taxes.
This time the robbery shocked the kingdom. The kingdom immediately dispatched troops to cooperate with the Rangers of the western city-states to siege its gang. As a result, the owl led his men to make a round-robin turn, which not only damaged the soldiers, but even the kingdom's special envoy died in Dagus. desert.
Since then, the reputation of the owl has spread throughout the Kingdom of Savile, and the owl has become a representative of the sand thief group in the Great Gus Desert. In the following dozen years, he escaped the encirclement and suppression from the kingdom and the tribe countless times, and has grown stronger and stronger, almost becoming the uncrowned king of the Great Gus Desert.
It’s just that the owl rarely looted from the Little Gus Desert, because the Little Gus Desert is too small, only one-tenth the size of the Big Gus Desert, in case it encounters Rangers and City Rangers. If there is no place for them to escape.
After talking about the data of the owl, the owner of the caravan analyzed: "I guess this may not be the main horse of the owl, but only one of their squads who came out to fight wild food. With our number and defense, as long as they are not chaotic, There won’t be much danger."
"It seems that you are not a simple pack owner!" Leo smiled as he listened to each other.
"You are not a simple hirer." The owner of the caravan smiled and said.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, and then a group of well-dressed cavalry came out of the dune. The majority of these cavalry were holding bows and spears, only a few. Some people hold mechanical crossbows in their hands. Although they seem to be a lot of people, if you count them carefully, you can see that they are only more than one hundred people, only one third of the caravan.
"Sure enough, it's a team." The owner of the car carried his head, looked closely at the scene outside, and then retracted, said: "However, it's not easy to deal with! These guys are flagged teams."
"The flag-granting squad?" Leo looked puzzled at the owner of the car.
"The owl was worried that his men would sit big, so when the number of his men increased to a certain number, he would forcibly divide the extra people, grant the flag, and become an independent unit." The owner of the car answered seriously : "These guys are different from the guys who just joined and were put into the squad. They are really veterans who have seen blood and know how to catch prey."
Leo said with a smile: "Would you also be a owl before?"
The owner of the piggyback did not answer Leo's words as if he didn't hear them.
At this time, after the sand robbers stood on the sand dunes overlooking the camp of the caravan, they turned their horse heads and left the dunes one after another. It felt like they could not take the caravan, so they gave up this raid.
In the caravan, many people had the same idea after seeing this situation, and then they were relieved, and some people cheered a little, as if they had won a hard battle.
"Fool! Those guys are just playing with prey!" The owner of the caravan said disdainfully when he heard the soft cheers outside.
Although most people in the caravan think the crisis is over, there are still people who know that things are not so simple.
I saw the caravan supervisor instructed the two men to go out and listen to the situation, and the two had just left the camp and rode the pack animal onto the sand dune, and saw that dozens of arrows were shot from behind the sand dune. The two died on the spot.
Then saw a sand thief emerge from the sand dunes on a pack animal, casually looked at the caravan's camp, and then took the two pack animals that lost their owners, leaving only two bodies Lying on the dunes.
At this moment, the camp was quiet for a moment, no one spoke again, and the almost frozen atmosphere surrounded the caravan.
"It's a group of idiots. Since you already know the number of the other party, you should concentrate on rushing out to fight with the other party. Like this passive defense, the longer it is dragged, the more disadvantageous." The owner of the car looked at the situation in the camp and endured He couldn't stop cursing, and then turned his head to look at the small team outside the camp where the followers were mixed, and whispered: "Hopefully the worst situation will not appear!"
"Do you think there are gangsters in those people?" Leo asked in a deep voice.
The owner of the piggyback said solemnly: "I hope not."
"Unfortunately, your hopes have failed." Leo shook his head, and had already sensed all the movements around him through the spiritual network. It was naturally clear that what was happening in that small team now.
When the pack owner heard Leo's words, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, and didn't understand Leo's words for a while.
Leo did not explain, saying: "Be prepared! Their first attack is about to begin."
Almost as soon as Leo's words fell, a sound of pack animals stepping on the sand came from the direction of the sand dunes, and then saw the team of sand thieves reappear, quickly approaching the caravan camp, and then arrived at the caravan The limit position that the bow and arrow of the camp can reach is divided into two, and it moves quickly around the caravan camp, and when it moves again, it continuously draws bows and arrows at the camp.
As the owner of the caravan said, these sand thieves are all veterans, as is the use of bows and arrows. Several rounds of bows suppressed the caravan to make it impossible to fight back. Several people tried to fight back, and they just turned their heads and became targets of arrows. With such a precedent, other people are afraid to take a break from hiding.
After several rounds of attack, the sand thieves converged again and returned to the dune again, overlooking the caravan filled with arrows, and turned back to the other side of the dune.
Although it was known that the sand thieves had retreated, no one dared to head out to check the situation outside the caravan camp, and even if only a few people died, the caravan itself did not hurt, but the overall morale of the caravan was hit to the bottom. .
At this time, the other small teams on the other side suddenly moved to this side, and those who found this immediately became alert and warned others.
Although the caravan's people were not able to deal with the sand robbers who had passed through the battlefield, they were still brave to deal with the small caravans behind them. They shouted that they should stand, and at the same time they aimed their bows and arrows at them.
However, the guards of the caravan soon felt that they were overwhelmed by the fact that the group of people they faced were all old, weak and sick. I saw that many people in this group were hit by arrows. Can be carried by his companions, dying, thinking that the group of sand thieves just saw that they could not break the camp of the caravan, and took these people to vent their anger.
"Stop!" When the group of people had arrived very close to the camp, a guard on the roof shouted loudly and aimed the weapon at those people.
"We pray for asylum, and I pray for asylum according to the asylum rule." The man who led the team put down all the weapons in his hand, then stepped forward and shouted into the camp.
Hearing the shouting, the chief in charge of the guard knew that this matter could not be decided by himself, so he signaled those people to stay still and then went to find someone who could manage the matter.
In one of the pack cars as a fortification, Leo sat leisurely on a soft blanket and looked towards the owner of the pack car nervously looking out, "What is the law of asylum?"
The owner of the caravan said: "The rule of asylum is that if you are in danger of life and death in the desert, you can ask other passing tribes for help. The passing tribes cannot ignore them."
"So what do help seekers need to pay?" Leo asked again.
"It's very simple, all the property of the helper will belong to the helper, and the helper must also be a slave for three years under the helper. If he dies within these three years, the helper does not need to bear any responsibility." The owner explained: "This is a very harsh rule. If it is not really on the verge of life and death, no one will ask for the implementation of the asylum rule." Then, he turned his head to look at Leo and asked: "You Think those people have problems?"
Leo smiled without answering.
However, the owner of the car had already guessed Leo’s thoughts and asked in doubt:
Since you already know there are problems, why don’t you remind them?

Leo responded indifferently: "Why should I remind them? If I remember correctly, I have already paid the money, and I have also given out the car to ship the goods to them. My duty should have been fulfilled. Now it is them. The duty to protect us is completed."
At this time, the caravan supervisor had also arrived at the edge of the defensive position, and he was also hesitant to accept these people.
Because the attack by sand thieves just now made the caravan seniors who were confident enough to withstand the next round of attacks have no idea. Now someone joins them to supplement their manpower. It’s a good thing no matter what, but they Some people are worried that these people are actually sand thieves. Once these people are allowed to enter the camp, if the sand thieves should cooperate, the defense of the camp will collapse, and the consequences will be unbearable.
And when the caravan supervisor hesitated to accept these people, the sand thieves appeared on the sand dunes again, but this time they no longer went to the car wall of the caravan, but to those who prayed for asylum. Small caravan survivors.
When the thieves attacked, the survivors of the small caravan were all panicked. They wanted to escape but they were not far away. A large number of arrows shot at them.
At this time, in order to register some of the people who were carrying injured companions, they had to use their companions as shields, blocking the arrows they shot, and survived the rain of sand thieves.
These sand thieves also seem to regard the small caravan survivors lying on the ground as some kind of prey for play. After shooting the first round of arrow rain, they turned their horse heads back to the sand dunes and disappeared to the other side.
At this time, the survivors of the small caravan climbed up from the corpses of their companions, and there were nearly eight or ninety survivors after a round of slaughter, and only less than forty people remained. , And half of them were wounded, and it looked like they had little combat power.
Seeing that these survivors are already like this, the caravan supervisor felt that it was not a problem even if these people were contained, and he also decided in his heart that after these people came in, they were all dispersed into different teams and waited for the war with sand thieves. At that time, these people were sent out first.
Just as the caravan supervisor was about to get someone to open a mouth in the team’s fortifications and put these people in, Leo’s caravan owner hurried over and shouted,
Don’t let them in, they all It's a sand thief!"
Hearing the voice of the owner of the caravan, the caravan supervisor did not believe it at first, but the survivors outside the car thought they were exposed, and they took out a delicate small bow and crossbow from under the robe and headed towards the guard on the carriage Shot past.
The caravan supervisor was the first to be hit by nearly ten arrows, and one of them was shot into his head~EbookFREE.me~ and several guards died because of the instinct when they heard the warning. Was vigilant and took cover, so they were only slightly injured.
The movement here also alarmed the others around, the guards came to support, and the sand thieves outside the convoy disguised as survivors, after a round of attacks, simply had no time to re-launch the bow and arrow, and They were all completely exposed to people, there was no place to hide, and after the scattering of the guards on the car at minus zero, nearly 40 people of sand thieves fell to the ground.
The battle here just ended, and the sand robbers who had retreated before appeared on the sand dunes over there. They looked at the bodies of their companions lying on the ground, all staying motionless.
The atmosphere suddenly solidified at this moment, and all the people in the team thought that these sand robbers finally became angry and angry because of the death of their companions, and launched the most violent attack.
But after a while, something unexpected happened to everyone. I saw that one of the leading sand thieves suddenly waved his arm, and then the whole sand thief team turned around and disappeared on the sand dunes again.
Although there is no clue to prove at this moment, the people in the team agreed that these sand thieves should have left, and they are all safe.
