024 Leopard in the mountains

The five-person team protected the carriage like an ordinary mercenary and walked slowly on the commercial road. Xia Knight actually had a white horse. This guy naturally took the responsibility of exploring the way, because there were not many belongings, the other four people simply surrounded the carriage.

The eagle is worthy of being an old mercenary. Whether the carriage meets other convoys or surpasses other caravans, he always goes to greet the other party in advance to avoid misunderstanding. The time and place of each stay and rest is well chosen, without making everyone too tired.

Although the other four people have their own characteristics, for the time being, they still obeyed the arrangement of the horned eagle. This road will take at least a month or two. Everyone is also lazy to create conflicts and just want to send the old man in the car to the place safely.

Because there is no stipulation in the mission when to arrive at Big Rock City, the horned eagle is not in a hurry at all. Every day, he stops to rest as soon as it gets dark, and the master Lyudmila does not complain. He always smiles to eat and drinks with everyone, and then climbs back to the carriage to rest.

After walking peacefully for more than ten days, everyone came to the northern border of the Gran Empire. In front of them was the winding Yuling Mountains. After crossing it, they crossed the Tianshui River and arrived at the territory of the Rican Empire.

By the fire, the eagle frowned with the map provided by the Mercenary Guild. The snail was squatting by the fire and fiddling with the food at night, and the poison sting did not know which dark corner he was hiding in, while the ghost climbed to the tree next to the carriage with a steel bow until the summer knight ran back on his big white horse.

"There are no other caravans in the first five miles." As Xia Knight spoke, he tied his white horse to the car, pulled a few handfuls of grass and put it in front of the white horse as feed.

"Well, everyone, come here and let's discuss the next journey!" The eagle shouted to gather everyone together.

The eagle spread the map on the ground, pointed to its current location and said, "Tomorrow we can enter the Yuling Mountains and then cross the Tianshui River. From here, our peace has come to an end. We don't know how many bandits have gathered in the Yuling Mountains, and there are as many bandits in the Rican Empire."

"For the sake of safety, let's arrange everyone's seats at the time of the attack," the eagle looked at Bock in charge of the carriage and said, "Once you are attacked, you must stop the carriage. We don't have any goods. The large bandit group will not be interested in us, but if you run blindly, it will be bad!"

"Our task this time is to protect the master, so in case of an emergency, the snail and I will go first, and the knight will respond. Ghost, you are responsible for remote support. Stinger, you and Bok must stay next to the carriage to protect the safety of the master." After seeing the crowd nod, the eagle continued to say, "The Viscount gave me some gold coins before departure, so if the conditions of the robbers are not so harsh, we can pay for the road... We don't have many people, so we should try our best to avoid fighting."

Seeing that everyone listened silently, the eagle knew that everyone had agreed to this arrangement. For so many days, the eagle had been used to everyone's silence. These are mercenaries who are used to freedom and scattered. If they had any different opinions, they would not give themselves face and shouted out long ago.

"Well, since everyone has no objection, let's do it like this! Let's start eating now and rest early today!" As soon as the horned eagle's words fell, several people immediately dispersed again. After receiving their own dinner, each of them found a comfortable place to rest. After walking for a day, they would still be a little tired.

The next day, five mercenaries gathered next to the carriage and followed the carriage to the mountains. By this time, they had reached the border, and the commercial road became rugged and could not even run.

"Hahaha, it is said that early birds have insects to eat. Well, I just met a small bug!" Suddenly, there was a wild laugh on the mountain road. Several bandits with weapons shook out of the woods, and the leading yellow beard shouted, "Stop! If you want to go there, you have to keep the money to buy the road!"

"Wait a minute, and I'll go and have a look." The horned eagle quickly walked over and laughed, "I didn't expect to meet the roadblock before crossing Yunling. I don't know when you came to this Yuling? Don't you know that this is the border of the Gran Empire?

"What happened to the boundaries of the Gran Empire? I specialize in business in the Gran Empire!" Huang Hu shook the big knife in his hand and said, "Look, you are also an old mercenary. Have you ever heard of the Eight Heavenly Kings? I'm a leopard!"
