Under the sun, a luxuriously decorated carriage slowly traveled on an official road in the southern province of the Empire.
This exquisite four-wheeled carriage was made of the highest quality materials. The solemn and noble black body of the carriage, as well as the exquisite carvings and golden patterns on the carriage, all showed the noble status of the owner of this carriage.
At the front and back of the carriage, there were dozens of knights in light armor. They were riding on fine horses and had knight swords hanging from their bodies. Their armor was polished to a shine, and their weapons were shiny.
Along the way, Long Bufan finally experienced the treatment of a noble. There were servants accompanying them to serve them, and it was very enjoyable. Along the way, it could be said that they were on a scenic tour. When they rested, they set up camp and barbecued meat and drank wine. It was very enjoyable.
Five days later, Long Bufan and the others came to a remote area where there were few people nearby. Along the way, Long Bufan felt that something was wrong, as if someone was following them. Thus, when he sent Xiao Bai to observe in secret, he found a group of people sneakily following behind them.
There were more than a dozen of these people, and they were all riding horses without any goods. They should have caught up to his team very quickly. But strangely, they only followed behind secretly, deliberately not letting the people at the back of the team find out.
Obviously, there was something fishy about this!
Moreover, the terrain here was dangerous. An extremely steep mountain blocked the road, and there was a crack in the middle that could barely allow three horses to walk side by side. The mouth of this gorge was more than ten miles long, and the mountains on both sides were dozens to hundreds of meters high. It was definitely the kind of dangerous place where one man could hold off ten thousand men.
Thus, Long Bufan ordered to find a place near the mouth of the gorge that was easy to defend and difficult to attack and set up camp.
At night, after the group had dinner, Long Bufan called Li Yun and said, "There are a few suspicious people following us from behind!"
Li Yun was stunned and asked curiously, "General, you have been in front of the team all this time. How did you know?"
Long Bufan did not talk nonsense and told them about Xiao Bai's discovery.
Li Yun frowned and said fiercely, "Sir, why don't I lead the troops to capture them now?"
Long Bufan frowned slightly and shook his head slightly, "It's dark at night. Do you know where they are? If one of them escapes and startles the enemy, it's not good! "
Li Yun, who only knew how to fight, was stunned. He scratched his head and said, "Sir, what do you think we should do?"
Long Bufan touched his nose and smiled slightly, "Let's do this —!"
…
"It seems that the information we received was right." In a forest not far from where Long Bufan and the others had set up camp, a bald man said gloomily to a bearded man in front of him.
"Yes, if we succeed this time, everyone will be able to eat and wear for a while."
The bearded man's name was Da Qiang. He was a cautious bandit leader who was at the early stage of the Earth Yuan Stage. He was the leader of the patrol team. Because of the importance of this mission, he came here in person. Normally, he wouldn't go out for missions easily.
A few days ago, they received news from a mysterious person that a caravan consisting of 100 chests of treasures, 200 carts of food, and many other precious goods was passing by. . There were about 100 cavalrymen escorting the goods. Judging from their equipment, they seemed to be regular soldiers.
Although they knew that the goods belonged to the government, Da Qiang and the others had no scruples.
"Brother Qiang, do you think we made the right choice this time?" His subordinate beside him asked.
Da Qiang looked determined and said arrogantly, "Why not? Although they seem to be quite powerful, we are not to be trifled with. We are from the Berserker Clan! "
"I don't think so. I've observed them carefully. Their equipment is much better than the mercenaries we've seen. If we act rashly, we'll suffer heavy losses!"
"But if we don't do it, we'll run out of food!"
Da Qiang looked fierce, but he sighed in his heart. The Berserker Tribe was a different kind of human in the Firmament and Continent. They were born with a berserk physique and powerful strength. However, they would lose their minds after berserk and not be able to distinguish between friend and foe. Therefore, the army and mercenaries, which emphasized team spirit on the battlefield, generally rejected the Berserker Tribe.
Other merchants were even more afraid of the Berserker Tribe. They were afraid that they would become berserkers and lose their lives if they offended them. In this way, the Berserker Tribe became poorer and poorer. Forced to live, they could only hide in remote areas and become bandits.
Da Qiang patted his subordinate's shoulder and said, "Let's rest after dinner. Remember to send more people to keep watch. I have a feeling that they might have found us."
The subordinate was surprised and said, "How could it be? We're more than 10 miles away from them. How could we be discovered?"
Da Qiang frowned and said cautiously, "It's always better to be careful. If they enter the gorge tomorrow, send a signal to our brothers to attack immediately!"
The night passed quickly. At this time, the scouts sent by the bandits reported that Long Bufan and the others had all left.
"Let's hurry up. We have to scout the camp. Don't let them go too far!" Da Qiang ordered.
