During the fight, six of the thirty-six people who jumped into the courier station lost their lives, and more than half of them were hit by arrows. Happy rushed at the center of the crowd and killed a large group of people. The situation instantly changed.
"Kill!"
Ghost's Worry and Xu Lang, who had pounced over from the periphery, roared furiously. Using their remaining power, they ruthlessly chopped down two injured black-clothed men and joined up with the two soldiers from the courier station, forming a standoff!
Eleventh Crane was holding back the bandits at the top, and the five people at the bottom were powerful. There were also six people guarding the carriage. Once the bandits lost a few more corpses, their strength was greatly reduced, and panic appeared on their faces.
"This is troublesome! Retreat!! "
The speed at which the black-clothed men retreated was absolutely top-notch. They did not linger to fight and threw out a handful of Dark Swords. Those who could move jumped over the wall without any hesitation.
His momentum came to a halt! Happy swung his arms in a circle in the air, and a small and sharp metal weapon instantly appeared in his Green Jade Shrouded in Heavenly Silkworm Gloves. It fell to the ground with loud rustling sounds.
When he raised his head again, other than a few heavily injured men in black who couldn't move, there were more than a dozen corpses on the ground.
"Thank you, everyone!"
"Young swordsmen, as expected of the elites from the Murong Clan. All of you have contributed greatly to the preservation of the courier station!"
An official dressed in official robes appeared out of nowhere and arrived in front of Happy and his party with a smile. His face was filled with fervor and gratitude, and he wrapped his fist in his palm in a genteel manner to thank them.
The six of them looked at each other at a loss.
This guy should be the courier station official that the system had asked him to protect. He just didn't know where he was during the battle.
"It's nothing!"
Happy was the eldest senior brother of Murong Clan. The wariness, strength, and courage he displayed during the battle just then caused the other five to admire him from the bottom of their hearts. At that moment, he was the leader of the group, and it was only natural that he would step forward to speak.
He was elegant and had an extraordinary bearing.
The low-ranking official continued to speak words of gratitude and repeatedly invited the six of them to enter the courier station so that he could have the chance to show his hospitality as a host and show his gratitude. However, Happy rejected him with the reason that he had to protect the carriage and prevent the bandits from returning.
System Notification:
"Successfully protected the carriage. Successfully protected the relay station officials. Zero casualties among the relay station soldiers. Mission accomplished!"
"Each participant will receive three bottles of premium Golden Creation Ointment, specially provided by the military camp!"
"All participants will receive a Horse Plate!"
Each of them had an exquisite wooden tablet in their hands.
Horse Brand:
It formed its own space and could summon horses from it at any time.
Once the horse returned to the Horse License Space, it would recover its stamina at 100% and Health Points at 10% every day, with the exception of severe injuries.
Horse plate …
"This is good stuff!" Xu Lang fondled the horse fondly, his eyes sparkling. "I heard from the netizens that only those who bought the horse at a high price can get it … Tsk tsk! That's awesome! We can summon horses anytime and anywhere in the future … Could it be that we've gotten the horses that the family has reserved for us for this mission? "
"Sort of."
Eleventh Crane flipped through the Horse Plate and demonstrated it on the spot. In one moment, he would put the horse into the Horse Plate, and in the next moment, he would summon it. It was incredibly convenient.
"If we don't pass this mission, we won't be able to take these horses away. Even if the mission ends, we won't be able to get them … Moreover, it's very likely that it'll be difficult to complete the mission later on."
Once Eleventh Crane finished speaking, Happy added, "That's right. In the future, when we're on our way, we should ride on flat ground. We'll be able to travel faster."
Everyone nodded, and then their gazes landed on the corpses of the black-robed men on the ground.
"What do we do with these things?"
Xu Lang pointed at the corpse on the ground that had yet to disappear, as well as the swords scattered around the corpse.
"Take care of them."
Happy cast a glance at them before he looked away.
"I heard that Senior Brother Happy obtained at least one hundred wolf pelts from Great Wolves Developing Point, and you're worth more than one million. We poor peasants won't be polite with you." Orchid Researcher, who looked like a little money-grubber, quickly divided the spoils of war into five portions.
Happy smiled and brought out a cowhide pouch from his Universe Bag.
"We're wanderers, so how can we not have some wine when we're on night duty?"
He twisted open the lid and took a sip. Then, he tossed it at Ghost's Worry, who was the closest to him.
"Yup! It's a good Red Daughter! "
Ghost's Worry's eyes lit up!
Happy was also a little surprised. The boy who looked rather quiet was actually an expert in wine. He could tell that it was Red Daughter from the fragrance that spread out from the wineskin. Ghost's Worry raised his head and drank a few mouthfuls without putting on an act. A faint hint of red appeared on his face.
"Good wine!"
He tossed the wineskin into Xu Lang's hands.
Xu Lang smacked his lips and drew closer to smell it. He pinched his nose and took a small sip. "Ahem …" He quickly pushed the wineskin to the two girls beside him.
"I don't drink."
Orchid Researcher's face turned pale. Her head swayed, and she hid behind Dawn Lotus.
"Let me."
Dawn Lotus did not hold back. She did not think that it was unhygienic for a few people to drink a wineskin. She wiped the mouth of the wineskin and drank a few mouthfuls. Her petite face quickly turned red, and she looked as beautiful as a flower.
"Not bad!"
"You sure are generous!"
Under the men's praises, Dawn Lotus wiped the mouth of the wineskin and pushed it to the last person.
"Big Brother Crane."
"Alright."
Eleventh Crane chuckled and took the wineskin.
"I'm offering a gift to you with borrowed wine. Here's to you, Junior Senior Brother Happy. You live up to your name as the Blue-robed Noble Sword User. You're stronger than me!" Once he finished speaking, he took a huge swig. "Good wine! Here! "Then, he tossed the wineskin back to Happy.
Happy did not have too many misgivings. He took it, and the strong fragrance of wine accompanied by the clear wine poured into his mouth. His throat bulged, and the wine flowed down the corners of his mouth. Soon, his chest was drenched.
He only stopped when he drank half of the wineskin!
"Nice! Haha! "
Happy wiped his mouth and laughed. He did not mind that his robes were drenched. He jumped on the roof of the carriage and sat down. Then, he landed on the roof in a stable manner. The five people were shocked when they saw this. Their eldest senior brother's usual elegant demeanor was not destroyed by Happy's actions. Instead, they could sense the bold and unruly side of a true wanderer from his unpretentious actions. The two completely different presences had actually appeared on the same person.
"…"
Eleventh Crane stared at Happy, who continued gulping down wine on the roof of the carriage. He originally thought that he understood Happy, but he could not help but feel his heart waver. For some reason, he sensed two different presences from Happy's completely different change.
One of them was the presence of a leader that naturally gave off the air of an elite.
The other was the melancholy that only mature men who revealed their thoughts after drinking wine would have, and this sort of melancholy could only be sensed by people who had experienced great ups and downs in their lives.
It was very unfortunate.
Eleventh Crane was one of them!
When he sensed the worries and pain Happy deliberately hid in his actions, Eleventh Crane seemed to have remembered his past. He sighed deeply and jumped on the roof to snatch the wineskin from Happy's hands.
"I'll drink with you."
Happy cast a deep glance at the man's side profile, which was hidden by the moonlight. A hint of a smile that he did not bother hiding appeared on his face.
"Alright!"
He shouted and brought out a cowhide pouch filled with Daughter's Red from his Universe Bag.
"Bottoms up!" "Bottoms up!"
Under the moonlight, two wineskins crashed against each other on the roof of the carriage. Their bold and unruly actions and the fragrance of wine wafting from the roof caused the two men and two women to yearn for it. Even Orchid Researcher, who had avoided the strong wine, felt a little disappointed at that moment. She began to regret not being brave enough to try it.
