Just as the female Ranger had said, the Red Rain Caravan's strength was not to be underestimated.
Although the number of horse carriages wasn't as many as those Caravans, which often had over 30 horse carriages, the horse carriages were of a higher quality. Not only were the horse carriages faster, but they could also carry more goods. The horse carriages had nearly twice as much space as those with only one horse carriage. The horse carriages had 24 times the space of ordinary players.
Moreover, due to the higher grade of the carriages, the Red Rain Caravan could recruit two more guards than ordinary carriages.
The fact that this group of people was able to establish such a Caravan at this stage of the game showed their strength and methods.
"Guild Leader, although there are still a few Caravans, they still need to wait for their goods to be fully purchased before they depart. At the very least, they will have to wait for another three to four hours. However, this Caravan does not want guards who withdraw midway," Shiuse Qiangwei reported.
Although there were many Caravans in Starfall City, not every Caravan would depart at any given time.
"We have such powerful guards, yet they can't even find us. They really don't have good taste." Ke Le clicked his tongue. He had just equipped the Divine Bluefire Shield, and his strength had improved once more. Now that the Red Rain Caravan looked down on him, he was somewhat displeased.
Shifeng glanced at the Red Rain Caravan, which was currently recruiting guards.
The Red Rain Caravan had a total of 16 Bronze Carriages. Each Bronze Carriage could accommodate a maximum of five people, two more than ordinary carriages. In other words, the Red Rain Caravan could travel with a total of 80 people. Excluding their own people, they could recruit a maximum of 50 people. Letting a party of six occupy one-eighth of the slots would indeed affect the Caravan's combat power significantly.
At this moment, Shifeng and the others wore Black Cloaks to hide their identities. Outsiders could not see their appearances at all. Not to mention, Guilds.
Otherwise, with Ling Yi's influence in Starmoon Kingdom, the Red Rain Caravan would, more or less, give her some face.
However, Shifeng did not wish to expose their tracks.
The various large Guilds had their own investigation teams. They would often collect information or follow the various large Guilds' main members, using this opportunity to investigate the Guilds' movements or find opportunities to assassinate them.
The Ling YI Society was currently a household name in Starmoon Kingdom. Naturally, it would attract the attention of many parties, not to mention that Ling Yi had many enemies. Naturally, more attention would be paid to him, and he might come to deal with them.
Although the Shifeng was not afraid of being surrounded by others, if they were to ruin his plans or reveal the location and method of capturing the rare Guild Mount, they would suffer a huge loss. Hence, the Shifeng had ordered the entire team to hide their identities.
"I'll go and discuss it." Shifeng shook his head with a smile and walked towards the female ranger.
"Why are you here again? Like I said, our quota is precious. We can't accept people like you who quit halfway, "the Ranger named Red Rain said.
"We don't need any payment. How about this 1 gold coin as travel expenses?" Shifeng took out a shiny gold coin from his pocket.
Although the Red Rain Caravan transported a lot of goods, it did not earn a lot of money. To the Red Rain Caravan, 1 Gold Coin was a significant amount.
Hongyu's eyes were filled with hesitation.
"Although the Great Forest of Soria is only half of the journey, the majority of the dangers along the journey originate from the Great Forest of Soria. As long as we pass through the Great Forest of Soria, the rest of the journey should not be a problem. We'll split up after the Caravan passes through the Great Forest of Soria. How about it? "Shifeng said.
"This …" Hongyu was clearly tempted.
Just as Shifeng had said, the true danger along the journey from Starfall City to the Black Dragon Empire came from the Great Forest of Soria. The Great Forest of Soria was the best location for players to set up an ambush. At the same time, the Great Forest of Soria was the most troublesome location for players. As long as they passed through the Great Forest of Soria, the journey would be a success.
"Big Sis Hongyu, just agree to it. No matter what, our Red Rain Caravan is a famous Caravan in Starfall City. Those robbers usually take a detour when they see us. Isn't it good that we can earn some money now? "a Level 29 Swordsman youth said. "Even if we encounter trouble during the latter half of the journey, don't you still have me?"
Shifeng used Omniscience to size up this Swordsman youth.
This Swordsman's name was displayed as Rainless Path. The majority of his equipment was Level 25 Fine-Gold Equipment, with one piece of Level 25 Dark-Gold Equipment. The rest of his equipment was Level 30 Secret-Silver Equipment. Although his equipment could not be ranked among the best in a Guild, he could still be ranked among the second best in a Guild. Compared to independent players without Guilds, he was much better.
"Rainless Path?" When Shifeng saw this name, he suddenly recalled this Swordsman.
Rainless Path was a famous Sword Hero in Starmoon Kingdom. At his peak, he had once ranked within the top 30 on the Starmoon Kingdom's Swordsman Ranking List. His name had shaken the entire Starmoon Kingdom. Only, there were too many restrictions on the growth of independent players. For an independent player like Rainless Path to rank within the top 30 of the Swordsman Ranking List, it was already amazing.
"Alright, I'll agree. However, we need to establish a contract first," Hongyu sighed. She felt that she was being too conservative. After all was said and done, they were a well-known Caravan in Starfall City. Normally, players who attempted to rob them would not make an enemy out of them. Even if they did, they still had an expert like Rainless Path in their Caravan.
"Alright." Shifeng did not object to a contract. This would allow both parties to feel at ease.
Afterward, Shifeng and the others signed a contract stating that they would pay a remuneration of 1 Gold and would accompany the Caravan until it left the Great Forest of Soria.
Roughly ten minutes later, the Red Rain Caravan had recruited enough guards. They then left Starfall City in a horse carriage.
The Bronze Horse Carriage was very fast. In just two hours, they arrived at the Great Forest of Soria.
Normally, Level 50 monsters roamed the Great Forest of Soria's outermost area. However, due to the King and the empire's army frequently clearing out the monsters on both sides of the road, the monsters on both sides of the road did not dare approach the trade route. Hence, players dared to form their own Caravan to travel between the two areas.
Moreover, with players' current levels, as long as they had equipment with Ignore Levels and some defensive Skills unique to Caravans, they could basically pose a certain threat to Level 50 monsters. As long as there were not too many monsters, they could kill them.
Only, while the Caravan was in transit, the monsters it killed would not drop any items or EXP. Hence, players could not use this opportunity to grind for EXP and items. Meanwhile, the Caravan's horse carriages could only travel along the trade route. Otherwise, players would not have needed to purchase Mounts.
Shortly after the Red Rain Caravan entered the Great Forest of Soria, a skinny Ranger hidden in a towering tree used Eagle Eyes to observe the Caravan.
"Boss, another Caravan is coming," the Ranger reported through the team chat.
"Which Caravan is it?" a rough and barbaric voice came from the other side.
"Judging by the logo, it's the Red Rain Caravan," the skinny Ranger said as he licked his lips.
"Red Rain Caravan? Good! The Red Rain Caravan has always relied on an expert like Rainless Path, making it difficult for Thousand Mile Killers to take action. The Red Rain Caravan doesn't even pay the most basic toll. Today, I'll let that bitch Red Rain know that even Rainless Path is useless.
The skinny Ranger immediately reported the Red Rain Caravan's coordinates to his boss.
