Chapter 5 Encounters on the Road
Under Tian Tian's resolute attitude, Wang Fei finally chose to compromise. Tian Tian agreed to join the mercenary regiment and was forced to promise the position of deputy commander.
Because of this incident, Wang Fei's last three days in Zhengqi College were full of worry and helplessness. However, no one will share these worries with him.
After three days of arrival, Dean Aoki personally greeted them and walked out of the gate of Zhengqi College.
"Children, no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, I hope you remember that you walked out of the Zhengqi College in the Lianyun Mountains. The strength of our Zhengqi Academy is average, but it has also stood for thousands of years. All the difficulties encountered in the middle have also been overcome one by one. Therefore, I hope you can overcome all difficulties!"
Dean Aoki's words when he left echoed in Wang Fei's ears for a long time. More than four years of student life have made them remember this college and this sky.
After leaving Zhengqi College, everyone's mood was obviously not high. The group and Tian Tian, a total of 46 people, were full of reluctance.
"I said, let's be happy! After graduating from Zhengqi College, we are a mercenary. We should be excited, and we should cheer!"
Gu Li wanted to support the atmosphere, but it had no effect. There are not many expressions on each face. Helplessly, I had no choice but to continue to move towards the destination Stone City.
After more than 300 miles a day, the sky has faded. At night, star warriors will basically use their abundant time to improve their cultivation. Wang Fei and others stopped, some were on guard, while others were practicing.
Night brings not only the vast star power, but also the best opportunity for star warriors to practice. Similarly, it also gives some people with bad intentions the opportunity to take action.
Just halfway up a hill away from the camp of Wang Fei and others, a group of people in different clothes were staring at a passing road caravan.
"Leader, the fat sheep has come to the door, why don't you take action?"
"What are you worried about! Now, the vigilance of the fat sheep has not been completely put down. If we have any changes, they can definitely find it as soon as possible and strengthen their defense. Even if we finally solve them, we still need to pay a lot!"
"But we are not the only ones in this area! If the other two guys find out, isn't the fat sheep going to give someone a hand?
"Hmm! Now that we have arrived at our territory, the fat sheep is ours. Whoever dares to come and rob us will kill them!"
Obviously, this is a group of thieves. The so-called fat sheep naturally refers to the caravan.
Time passed quickly. After midnight, the caravan was significantly less responsible for the vigil, which also meant that their vigil was relaxed to the lowest.
At this time, the thief leader waved his hand and motioned his companions on the side to follow. And he himself quietly pushed towards the caravan under the cover of trees and rocks.
After half an hour, the thief was less than 100 meters away from the caravan. This
At this time, the thief leader greeted several people on the side and ordered them: "When we start to attack, you will set fire and shout around to confuse the caravan as much as possible. Let them think that we have countless people in charge of the attack!"
There are less than 100 thieves, and it is difficult for a caravan of three or four hundred people to swallow them all at once. The leader of the thief borrowed tricks to disturb the sight of the caravan, thus creating opportunities for himself.
"Attack!"
The distance of 100 meters is already the limit that can be approached. With the order of the thief leader, dozens of thieves waved sharp weapons and attacked the guards of the caravan together.
And several thieves who had received orders before set fire and shouted not far away.
"The second master led a hundred brothers to be responsible for the attack in the east!"
"The five leaders led 80 brothers to be responsible for the attack in the west!"
......
If it is normal or during the day, in the face of such an offensive by thieves, it is not difficult to judge the real strength of thieves. But now, after the caravan is attacked, the command system is difficult to control for a while.
"The thief is coming. We are surrounded. Let's run for our lives!"
Many of the caravan members had the idea of escaping. And as some people take the lead, more and more people run away directly. All kinds of noise immediately broke the calm of the valley.
The voice, across a hill, came to where Wang Fei was. At this time, Zhu San, who was in charge of standing guard, listened to the unclear sound and the firelight in the distant sky and immediately shouted, "Everyone wake up. There is a situation!"
Wang Fei said 'nobbly' and immediately asked, "What happened? Is it the thief coming?
" boss, look over there!"
Wang Fei and the members of the Wind Mercenary Regiment who had already responded followed the direction caused by Zhu San. The sky, which was originally full of starlight, appeared a little fiery red at this time. The strange changes made Wang Fei and others look solemn at the same time.
"I think there must be a battle. It should be that the thieves are staring at the caravan! This has little to do with us, and we don't know what the strength of the other party is. I think it's better to forget it. It's none of your business, don't care how others will to toss around!" Tian Tian, who has the position of deputy head of the regiment, expressed her views. What she means is that she doesn't want to do much.
However, Wang Fei rejected her proposal and immediately retorted: "It is less than 500 miles away from Zhengqi College, and the strength of the thieves who appear will never be so strong. What's more, the establishment of our mercenary regiment is needing achievements to open up its reputation. This will definitely help us accept the task in the future!"
Wang Fei's words also won the standpoint of most members. Except for Tian Tian, few people will sing against Wang Fei.
"Wu Erlang, you take a few classmates to observe first. And everyone else, come with me!"
After an order, Wu Erlang, as the captain of the investigation, immediately mobilized three classmates and then went to investigate the situation. As for the others, they surrounded Wang Fei excitedly one by one, waiting for his order.
"Tonight may be the first battle we need to face since the establishment of the mercenary regiment. I hope everyone can try their best to ensure their own safety, and at the same time, they need to pay attention to the safety of their companions around them. Remember, we are a whole!"
In Wang Fei's heart, he has regarded this opportunity as a trial. However, he will not give orders at will before Wu Erlang comes back. Just let the team members around them get a little closer to the abnormal valley.
Wang Fei and others approached while waiting for the feedback of the news. Almost half an hour later, Wu Erlang finally passed on the situation.
"According to Wu Erlang's reconnaissance, there is a caravan ahead, resisting the attack of thieves. There are hundreds of thieves, but most of them are in the star warrior stage, with only four or five people's cultivation, breaking through to the star level.
After introducing the general strength of the thief, Wang Fei's face turned pale and ordered, "We are mercenaries, although it is natural to deal with thieves. But the responsibilities of mercenaries need to act according to the task. For this reason, Crace and Tian Tian went to contact the people of the caravan first. If they are willing to hire, we will help them deal with thieves!"
Wang Fei's decision, to some extent, is a bit like robbery.
However, mercenaries have the principle of mercenaries, and they can choose to turn a blind eye before accepting employment. After all, joining the battle requires the price of bleeding. No one can guarantee that there are no one or two difficult thieves.
Forties, a student who has just graduated from Zhengqi College met the first battle of their mercenary career on the first night of leaving the school.
For these students, it is not the first time to fight with thieves. However, the nature has completely changed, and their mood has changed accordingly.
Even like Zhu San and others, they held the weapon tightly in their hands. The nervous move made Wang Fei wrinkle.
However, it is also because of this that Wang Fei's determination to take this action has been intensified. Just think of it as an experience. Even if the caravan refuses to hire, it will use the blood of thieves to complete the transformation of the companions around them, from students to mercenaries.
