GOR Chapter 415 Night Raid (Part 1)
Chapter 415: Ambush
The mercenaries beside him were all alarmed and some of them had long since moved forward to drag him away. Next, a whistle could be heard and Toya's deep voice rang out in the darkness of the night. "Pick up your shields! Everyone be on guard! Do not panic! Gather everyone up first! "
The people in this caravan were used to traveling all over the world. Back when they were setting up camp in this small oasis, they had been quite cautious. They had brought along hundreds of camels, workhorses and hundreds of large chests. All of them formed a circle around the encampment. They formed a defensive perimeter. Even if they were to be ambushed, the enemy would not be able to charge in.
It was then that the sound of horse hooves could be heard from afar. It would appear that the ambushers had initially slowed down their pace and quietly approached them. Only when they were close enough did they charge in.
The bandits in the desert were indeed tough. In the distance, a row of torches suddenly lit up in the darkness of the night. Du Wei could clearly see that there were two groups of bandits charging in from the east and north. They circled around the defensive perimeter of the caravan. Seeing that the other party was quite skilled in setting up camp, they did not charge in. Instead, they circled around the encampment.
Next, Toya's stern voice could be heard. "Brothers, pick up your shields! The rest of you, hide behind the back! "
His words had only just left his mouth when a "weng" sound could be heard coming from the outside. The sound of something piercing through the air could be heard. As expected, the other party was firing arrows.
When the volley of arrows arrived, several wretched cries could be heard coming from within the encampment. Although the mercenaries raised their shields in a well-trained manner, some of the caravan members who were hiding behind the chests were wounded by the arrows.
Seeing that their ambush had failed, the two groups of bandits grouped up. After two consecutive waves of arrows were fired, they quickly retreated with a whistling sound.
The sound of horse hooves rang out and the faces of the caravan members within the encampment changed. Even Toya's face was somewhat ugly to behold. Judging by the sound of the horse hooves, there were at least 500 bandits!
Five hundred sturdy horse bandits were quite a lot in the desert. On his side, there were less than three hundred people in the caravan. The only ones who could fight were Toya and his fifty or so mercenaries. Although the youths in the caravan weren't weak either, they were still ordinary people after all. When they encountered those sturdy horse bandits, they wouldn't be of much use.
At this moment, the faces of the people in the caravan were pale. Under the light of the torches of the horse bandits outside, everyone's faces were pale.
"Damn it! It was truly a case of encountering evil when he was out! It's just a caravan. How did it attract such a large group of bandits?! "Toya cursed.
•
The horse bandits saw that the other party was prepared. The camels and chests formed a protective circle around them, making it impossible for their men to charge in with the horses. After two volleys of arrows, they retreated far away. In the darkness of the night, hundreds of horse bandits could be heard making a show of force and shouting loudly.
Toya, on the other hand, quickly rushed to the front. When he looked over, he saw the other party's torches swaying and hundreds of horse bandits raising their sabers. The gleam of their sabers was so bright that it dazzled his eyes.
"The people inside, listen up! Quickly move the chests out! Our leader said that if you hand over the money, we'll let you live! "
A loud order came from the horse bandits. Soon after, Toya stood up from behind the chests. His forehead was covered in sweat as he shouted loudly, "Who are you outside? I am Toya of the Desert Fox! Sire, please report your name! "
A disdainful voice came from afar. The voice was extremely sharp as it laughed loudly, "Toya? So it's your Desert Fox mercenary group! Humph, obediently come out. We only want money, not lives! "
Toya composed himself and said loudly, "You're from the 'Scarlet Snake', right? We, the Desert Fox, have some friendship with your Scarlet Snake's leader, Mister Sha Lang! "
The 'Scarlet Snake' that Toya spoke of was the largest group of horse bandits in the vicinity. That Sha Lang was the leader of this group of horse bandits. In the past two days, the 'Scarlet Snake' had been the cause of everyone's vigilance. Who knew that the more they feared, the more likely it was to happen. They actually still ended up encountering these fellows.
Toya had originally wanted to establish a friendship with them. After all, it was impossible to rely purely on brute force to kill one's way in such a job as a guard. Even if one traveled far and wide, it was impossible to rely on fighting and killing everywhere. Otherwise, if one fought and killed, how could there be no casualties? No matter how large a mercenary group was, if they just blindly fought and killed, they would probably be wiped out in less than half a year. It was the same for horse bandits.
Most of the time, in this line of work, they would use some 'unspoken rules'. When they met, they would first establish a friendship. If they could come to an agreement, they would simply pay some protection fees and go their separate ways. When encountering a large mercenary group with a strong reputation, as long as they revealed their background, some small groups of horse bandits wouldn't be willing to provoke them. They would usually retreat after a few words of courtesy.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, everyone wouldn't be willing to truly shed all pretense of cordiality. After all, mercenary groups had considerable strength. If everyone became enemies, the horse bandits wouldn't be able to withstand the retaliation of large scale mercenary groups.
But this time, Toya had miscalculated.
"Humph, what bullshit Scarlet Snake. The Scarlet Snake you speak of are all dead! As for that Sha Lang, his head was chopped off by our leader long ago! Toya, you want to establish a friendship? Impossible! Obediently let them out and hand over the goods! "
It wasn't the Scarlet Snake?
Toya was stunned. Could it be another group of horse bandits?
But he hadn't heard of any new powerful horse bandits appearing on this road? Moreover, from the other party's words, even the famous Scarlet Snake Horse Bandits had been wiped out by this group of people? Looking at the other party's strength, to be able to mobilize five hundred people at once, their strength was obviously not ordinary.
When did such a group of people appear in the desert?!
Toya was stunned for a while, and the other party was getting impatient. Then, he heard a sharp voice shouting, "Toya! Do you want me dead or alive? Just say it out loud! We are determined to get this batch of goods today! Don't talk about a small Desert Fox, even if we meet the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group, I won't even put them in my eyes! "
After saying that, under the signal of this horse bandit, the few hundred horse bandits under him shouted at the same time. Sabers were waved, and there were even people who threatened and scolded loudly, "Don't talk nonsense! Open the door and snatch it! "
"If you don't surrender, kill them all!"
"Haha! Kill all the men and leave only the women!! "
Toya's heart had already sunk, and he took in a deep breath. After all, he was a mercenary who made a living on the edge of the knife. At this time, he knew that it was time for him to put his life on the line. He took in a deep breath and was about to order his subordinates to prepare to fight to the death.
Suddenly, he heard a clear and cold voice from behind him.
"Who was it that said to kill all the men and leave only the women!"
Whoosh!
A gust of wind swept past Toya's side. Toya felt his eyes blur, and then he saw a white figure rushing out like a whirlwind. The speed was so fast that even a third level warrior like him was unable to see the other party's movements clearly!
This figure was like lightning, and in an instant, it rushed into the ranks of the horse bandits. These horse bandits did not expect that such a strong person would appear. Then, they heard a blood-curdling scream …
Pu! A streak of blood soared into the sky, and a figure flew from the back of a horse into the sky. Finally, he fell heavily onto the ground, blood spurting from his mouth. It looked like he was no longer alive!
Qiao Qiao stood within the ranks of the horse bandits, her face cold and indifferent. In her hand was a saber, which belonged to the pitiful fellow who had spoken rudely earlier!
The horse bandits were shocked for a moment, but they quickly reacted. Someone immediately shouted, "Kill! Kill her! "
Tens of sabers slashed down one after another. Qiao Qiao gave a cold snort, her eyes emitting a cold aura. Suddenly, a resplendent cold light burst out from her hand!
Ding ding dang dang sounds rang out, and the tens of horse bandits who had attacked earlier all cried out miserably as they were sent flying. On the ground, tens of broken sabers were scattered all over the ground. All the horse bandits who had been sent flying fell to the ground, blood spurting out from their mouths. They were no longer able to get up!
The horse bandits were stunned. Immediately, they heard someone scream, "Dou qi! That is dou qi! "
This white clothed woman was actually able to casually display the dou qi that only high level warriors could possess. In an instant, she had charged into the midst of the horse bandits and killed tens of them with just a wave of her hand. The remaining horse bandits could not help but feel their morale drop. The leader immediately reacted, "Don't worry about it, she is just one person! Let's attack together! "
At his command, the horse bandits immediately stirred up their courage and rushed over like a swarm of bees.
"You are courting death!" Qiao Qiao snorted coldly. The anger from being hunted down by Luoxue these past few days was completely released at this moment.
When Du Wei had first met Qiao Qiao, this violent woman had dared to charge into the Empire's military camp alone. How could she face a group of horse bandits?
Seeing the gleaming sabers coming towards her, Qiao Qiao was not afraid at all. There was even a trace of a cold smile on her lips.
