At this moment, a cry of exclamation suddenly came from farther away.
"Let's take a look." Zhao Xu told the coachman.
It's fine if they didn't hear it. As a pastor, they suddenly heard someone else's call for help and fled, and eventually they would only deflect their camp.
This is also the reason why paladins, priests, and druids are prone to nosy professions, and they have strong abilities, otherwise it will not be easy to survive.
At this time, although the driver didn't want to mix up this kind of mess in his heart, he quickly drove the car in the direction of the source of the sound when he heard Zhao Xu's instructions behind him.
As the carriage crossed the half-person-high wormwood pile in front, the field of vision in front suddenly widened and saw a carriage identical to them also parked beside the post road.
The wheel on one side of the carriage has been sunk in the mud. A man wearing a luxurious fur coat is now looking out to observe the situation ahead. She is holding a young child in her arms, and she is also curiously watching The battle at hand.
Another dark-looking big man with a dark appearance, the leader of the team, carried a tower shield and covered them in front of the mother and son to guard them.
Around the carriage, a total of eight guards, dressed in silver armor and holding steel shields, watched the cavalry team in front of them vigilantly.
And on the periphery of the carriage, there is a cavalry company all riding horses.
Although many cavalry are riding ponies whose endurance is generally unable to run long distances, but with their light armor, they can be considered strong.
The black armors in front of the cavalry were painted like wolf heads. At this time, they were still holding the reins in both hands to control the horses, but they were not equipped with murderous weapons such as machete and battle axe. They stared at the people in front of the carriage.
"It is a black wolf ride nearby. It is rumored that they are doing some dirty work for some big people in Mistral, and they are engaged in shady scenes."
The coachman usually travels north and south near Mystra, and he basically recognizes all the hills. People who know Zhao Xu may not understand this, so they explained directly.
"They don't usually rob and kill merchants on the post roads. At most, they have looted. Now they are staring at this carriage, I am afraid they have a lot of inside information."
After hearing this, Zhao Xu frowned slightly, already faintly guessing.
They draw their swords to help each other at best, but they will not intervene in the grievances and grievances between the nobles and businessmen.
It was Zheng Xinyun who sneaked through the curtain of the car, staring wide-eyed at the raging battle before him.
"Mrs. Betty, hand over the kid in your arms so that we can go back to our business." The leader of the cavalry leader in a dazzling full armor shouted, while he wielded a spear and pointed at the tower in front of him. Betty mother and son covered by a shield.
And the lady Betty did not speak about this. Instead, the brawny bodyguard in front of her yelled directly: "Black wolf ride, you come to rob our young master, can you afford the revenge behind you?"
"Heh." Hearing these words, the cavalry leader waved his hand directly behind him, and suddenly the other twenty cavalrymen directly pulled out the scimitars that were glowing with cold in their hands, looking like they were about to rush forward.
Although the cavalry leader noticed the carriage coming from Zhao Xu, he didn't care too much.
At this time, he shouted at the carriage: "You are still a young master, I really think that I will be rich if I climb a branch? I don't want to think about my background?"
And Betty in the center gritted his teeth and looked at the cavalry team surrounded in front of him. She knows that the child in her arms is the biggest bargaining chip, and once she loses it, she has no room to stand up.
"Betty?" Elliton heard the name at this time and recalled.
"Have you heard?" Zhao Xu did not live in Mystra in his previous life. At best, he has read the history of Mystra's upper-level mage family heraldry, and does not know much about some middle-level forces.
Especially after searching his own local knowledge and finding nothing, he really couldn't achieve the point where he could tell the whole ins and outs just by hearing the name.
"It seems to be the Mystral Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce." Elliton was in deep thought.
Chamber of Commerce?
Zhao Xu is not unfamiliar with this kind of organization, and even he knows very well that the Chamber of Commerce in Mystra is the white glove on the face of many mage families, specializing in business operations for the mage family and accumulating wealth.
is like a quill pen that can transcribe spells. Only three chambers of commerce in the entire Mystra have obtained the franchise rights, and it was decided after countless disputes.
What Zhao Xu encountered at this moment seemed to be just a small act of plunder, but in essence it may be a microcosm of the entire game of the nobles of the Mister Mistra.
However, the carriage of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce and the black wolf cavalry company seemed to be in a mysterious stalemate. The two sides kept screaming, but they had no blade to add to each other.
As the two parties yelled and cursed, Zhao Xu also heard a show of grievances and grievances from behind Zhao Xu.
After getting enough information, Zhao Xu retrieved some rumors based on the level 1 professional ability "learning" of his monk priest. After combining with knowledge (local) skills, Zhao Xu immediately obtained a lot of information.
He also started to give the two behind him half of his brains, and half speculated to explain the ins and outs of the big show before him.
The Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce is a family-style chamber of commerce, mainly engaged in the magic scroll trade in Mystra.
During the period, Abel, the principal of the Chamber of Commerce, remarried Betty, who was already a deacon in the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce after his wife was accidentally killed seven years ago, and then gave birth to Abel's second son, Webster.
As the body of the head of the Chamber of Commerce Abel's body deteriorated, the Chamber of Commerce gradually fell into the hands of Harry, the eldest son of Abel's original partner, and Mrs. Betty, who was renewed.
The two sides were in peace. Until recently, the business leader Abel suffered a stroke. After he was rescued by the doctor and the priest, his body's functions were also lost. When the oil was exhausted, the lamp was dry and every day was dizzy, and he was already powerless. In charge of the Chamber of Commerce.
At this time, the undercurrents under the Chamber of Commerce suddenly began to surge, and Mrs. Betty also felt that the wind was not in the right direction, so she hurriedly took her young son and fled back to her family in Shuanglu Town.
That's why Abel's eldest son Harry appeared and commissioned a black wolf ride to stop Mrs. Betty.
For him, as long as he is in control of his brother Webster, basically his stepmother, Betty, can't make any waves.
"Captain, shall we save them?" Zheng Xinyun asked.
After knowing that the other party was not a weak woman and being forced, Zheng Xinyun did not have that kind of knot. Although she did not look down on this kind of behavior, she would not rush into it.
In this situation where you don't know who is right or who is wrong, rash impulse can easily become the butcher of one of them.
After seeing more reversals on the Internet, players now know how to wait and see when eating melons, chill the melons, and eat them after they are cold.
At this time, the shouts of the two sides have intensified, and they even began to hit the weapons, and the clashing sounds are even more audible, as if the two sides are about to start a battle of life and death without being able to drink the other side.
"I am afraid it is not our turn to act." Seeing that he was unable to provide Zhao Xu with more information just now, Eliton felt a little regretful. At this time, he heard Zheng Xinyun's inquiry and hurriedly expressed his own opinions.
"How do you say?" Zheng Xinyun asked curiously. At this moment, she slightly squeezed the light crossbow in her hand, the bowstring was tight, and the crossbow arrow was triggered.
Zhao Xu just took it out and gave it to her.
Originally, the monster old hag's defensive ability exceeded 22 levels. Zhao Xu did not intend to let the two of them shoot with a light crossbow. Without experience, it would be easy to accidentally injure his teammates.
Who knew that suddenly encountered this confrontation, he also picked it out again for the two to make do.
"According to the situation of the scene, it is obvious that the black wolf ride is dominant. Even though the wheel of the carriage is stuck in the pit, it does not rush to change the horse and Qingqi to escape. Obviously, I think it has a chance to drag it down. In addition, the Chamber of Commerce is engaged in the reel trade. The other party is not allowed to have some means of notification. At this time, he is waiting for rescuers to come." Elliton analyzed.
At this time, he also remembered the amulet filled with sand that Zhao Xu had handed him, and then said, "In this case, I can't tell if this lady Betty besieged the black wolves and rode them."
But Zhao Xu shook his head, "Betty is hopeless. I am afraid she has also come to understand that it will not be her helper who will come, or she is just betting on an accident."
Zheng Xinyun didn't wait to ask a question after hearing it, and suddenly saw the distant sand and dust rolling in the original post road, raising waves of gray fog.
An elite cavalry team of more than thirty people~EbookFREE.me~ at this time swept from the direction of Frostdew Town.
Compared with the ordinary cavalry company that besieged Mrs. Betty, the cavalry companies that came from a long distance were all heavy-duty horses, and the cavalry with matte and dark armor and heavy armor was even more majestic. There were more than ten cavalry lances in the front row. Pointed, full of murderous meaning.
"Retreat." Zhao Xu told the coachman ahead.
As a brother, Harry, in accordance with Mystra’s tradition and the suppression of church forces, with witnesses like Zhao Xu, the final outcome is destined to be his brother Webster being monitored for four to five years until Mrs. Betty’s All forces were wiped out.
Next, when they watched the show, it was a bit of a violation of the rules, and they were suspected of picking up the missing melon fields.
Zhao Xu, who was not healed, naturally decided to evacuate.
Seeing the identity of the oncoming cavalry, and then feeling the strong smell of blood on the opponent, Mrs. Betty immediately understood that she came to take care of her maiden family, and she was probably robbed and killed by this cavalry company coming from the direction of Frostdew Town. Up.
Her eyes were red, but she hugged her child even more tightly. She looked at the leader of the new cavalry and couldn't help thinking about her way out.
Who knew it was when the coachman lightly raised his whip and drove the horse under him to get up and leave.
"Boom", an arrow with an eagle feather fell on the outside of the car where Zhao Xu was. The arrow head even passed through the weak baffle of the car.
The cavalry leader who initially besieged Mrs. Betty turned his horse's head to look at Zhao Xu's side in time, "My friend, after watching the movie for so long, I want to leave so easily without handing in anything?"
