Chapter 228 The work of the guard
Luo Chen's heart tightened, but his face showed a perfect hint of surprise and confusion.
"No, right? I don't know you."
The strong man swept Luo Chen twice, touched his chin, thought for a long time, and finally shook his head: "Well, I really admit my mistake." As he said that, he patted Luo Chen's shoulder hard. "Get in and stand, and I'll follow my arrangements."
The slap was so powerful that Luo Chen was stumbled a few steps. When he walked to Phil, he was glad that his image had changed drastically and made the other party unable to recognize him. He rubbed his shoulders and asked Phil whispered to him: "Who is he?"
"This is the leader of the caravan guard, and his martial arts skills are very strong. That guy just now..." Phil secretly pointed to the man who had been very arrogant before and replied in a low voice. "... I just came here and fought with him. Although I didn't see it, I should have suffered a loss."
"Oh?" Luo Chen looked at the guard leader in surprise.
The big man was a fourth-level golden warrior. He suffered a little loss when he was in contact, which proved that his strength should be much greater than that of the big man. According to this estimate, even if he is not a martial artist, he should at least be a high-level golden warrior.
This caravan is just one of the countless caravans of all sizes distributed on the Liuyun Continent. The guards can have such strength, which shows that the Lehman Business Association has a profound foundation and many subordinate masters.
No wonder when he was in Grebaum City, the Lehman Business Association was able to send three Golden Warrior-level guys to ambush Luo Chen in one go.
Of course, compared with Luo Chen's grandfather, the Grand Duke of Saint-Eno, who waved his hand and sent 500 Golden Warrior-level guards to Luo Chen, it was still several levels behind.
The guard leader was named Reis. After listening to his scolding for a long time, the meaning of which was nothing more than telling some rules that these temporary recruited guards must know, such as completely obeying the command of his leader, and never leaving the caravan too far for no reason, nor getting close to goods at will...
While listening, Luo Chen looked at the cargo of fourteen carriages piled up in the distance.
The cargo on these carriages was very heavy, and they actually pressed four wheels against the solid ground and left a shallow mark.
Luo Chen stepped hard on the ground to estimate the hardness of the ground. Then, based on data such as the width of the wheel and the depth of the marks pressed on the ground, he quickly estimated that the cargo on the carriage weighed at least three more than three shovels.
Judging from the volume of the goods on the carriage, the goods on the carriage may only be all heavy metal, and the closest one should be full of iron tools.
After waiting for another half an hour, the deputy supervisor and the guard who were in charge of recruitment returned to collect their stalls, and at the same time brought three temporary recruitment guards.
In addition to these three people later, this time the Lehman caravan recruited a total of thirty temporary guards, each of which was a master of level 5 silver warriors or above.
Although there are many adventurers in the small town of Angmar, the Lehman Caravan has recruited all the good players in one breath this time.
The caravan was very efficient. As soon as the deputy supervisor came back, he set off after ten minutes.
From the small town of Angmar to the north, they are all within the territory of the Kingdom of Durez.
On the way, Luo Chen finally learned the reason why the Black Wind Thieves appeared through intermittent chatting with Phil.
A few years ago, this passage connecting the north and south lifelines of Liuyun Continent was still highly valued by the Kingdom of Durex. Safety along the way was not a problem. However, in recent years, because the king of Durex took office, several princes with inheritance in the kingdom fought for the throne. The kingdom was now in turmoil, which made the thieves that had been wiped out before even became more rampant.
"If it were before, even the Black Wind Thieves would only rob the small caravan at most, and they would not dare to be so blatant." Phil sighed as he said.
As a citizen of the Kingdom of Durez, he felt very sorry for the fate of his kingdom.
But no matter how regretful he is, as an ordinary citizen, although his martial arts are still good, it cannot affect much. This time he wants to go to the Oran Empire, he also has the intention of temporarily leaving the Kingdom of Durez and finding a place to settle in the Oran Empire.
"Speaking of this, Luo Cheng, you are from Oran, and you should be familiar with Vis Pompeii, right? When you arrive at the place, you will have to ask you to help in many places." Phil also asked Luo Chen for help.
As Luo Chen's identity, it is of course easy to arrange a Phil, but now he is just playing a very ordinary adventurer, so he naturally cannot be so outstanding, so he can only respond vaguely: "I will definitely help if I can help."
Phil probably felt that it was not appropriate to make such a request to someone he had just met, so he smiled dryly and stopped mentioning it.
Although the caravan had a lot of goods, the speed of travel was not slow. He only took a rest for half an hour at noon and had lunch. At the end of the day, he had already left Angmar Town for a full seventy kilometers.
When the sun sets in the west and the night is shrouded, the caravan chooses to stop in a clearing space next to the road.
According to the escort leader Reyes, after leaving the town of Angmar, the caravan must travel for three consecutive days before he can rest in another small town, Talma.
It was a small town closest to the Orland Empire in the Kingdom of Durez. If the caravan wants to leave the Kingdom of Durez, there must be some procedures to go through, and you can rest by the way.
The people in the Lehman caravan were experienced. After the supervisor ordered camping, a group of guards quickly took out several tents from a carriage and set up them.
This is for the manager and deputy supervisor to stay at night, and as for the caravan guards, they naturally only have camping.
The only difference from other caravans is that this caravan actually brought a chef with him, and all kinds of kitchen utensils and ingredients are very complete, and it is definitely not as good as other caravans to fill in some dry food.
From the conversation between the original guards of the caravan, we can learn that this is completely the personal hobby of the caravan manager. He has high requirements for food, so he has to bring the chef he hired even when using the goods.
Originally this did not comply with the regulations of the Lehman Business Association, but it is said that a relative of the supervisor is an important figure within the Lehman family, so the supervisor has a high status in the Lehman Business Association. In addition, the chef was hired by him with his own money, and the meals he made were not exclusive to him, but would be enjoyed by everyone in the caravan, so no one would say anything.
But it's a pity that if you want to eat the delicious food in the mouths of the guards, you have to wait until you finish the work.
The work arranged for Luo Chen and other thirty temporary guards was simple, just let some of them be responsible for the alert together with the original guards, while the other part went around to investigate the situation.
Luo Chen was separated from a caravan's original guard and was responsible for going out for investigation.
This guard was talkative and was very surprised that Luo Chen could pass the assessment of the deputy supervisor at a young age. He kept asking him if he had followed some masters to practice martial arts, otherwise why he had such powerful martial arts at such a young age, which was not much worse than him.
Luo Chen chatted with him in a word, and the two gradually penetrated deep into a small wood next to the road, and had discovered a distance of more than a thousand meters.
According to the caravan rules, this distance was almost guaranteed to be safe. The two of them were about to return when a rumbling sound suddenly sounded in the woods next to them.
The guard named Solari suddenly felt happy and said with his hands ready to beat him: "It's great, it sounds like a wild boar. I'll have a good time tonight."
Luo Chen couldn't help but ask in wonder: "We are patrolling, we are not hunting, we can't make troubles, right?"
Solari laughed and patted Luo Chen on the shoulder and said, "Brother Luo, you are a novice after all, and you are too nervous about the rules. Let me tell you that when the caravan walks outside, there are often in the wilderness, so how can there be so many good things to eat? If you don't fight back when you encounter wild game, if the leader Reyes finds out, he might even scold me."
"Is that right?" Luo Chen couldn't help frowning, thinking that the rules of the Lehman Business Association were not so strict.
But then I thought about it, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, if the person is careful, there will be no disciples, and if there is no need to strictly require rules.
While he was still thinking about this question, Solari was already hunching and touching him quietly in the direction of the sound.
Solari was obviously very familiar with this matter. After a while, he touched the place where the sound came out. Then he saw a tiger pounce and rushed out of the grass. A sword flashed in his hand and slashed it with a heavy knife. Then he heard a shrill roar of wild beasts.
Luo Chen had long seen that the sound was just an ordinary wild boar from afar. He knew that it was easy to deal with the strength of the eighth-level silver warrior of Solari, so he stood still and waited for the results of the battle.
The sword light flashed in the woods just twice, and the wild boar was lying directly to the ground, leaving only a weak hum, obviously losing the power of resistance.
Solari then stood up and waved to Luo Chen.
"Brother Luo, come and help. This wild boar is too fat and I can't carry it alone."
Luo Chen smiled and shook his head, thinking that although this wild boar was definitely more than 300 kilograms, with the strength of this eighth-level silver warrior, how could he not be able to withstand it? This was obviously an act of trying to get close to him.
Of course, Luo Chen would not refuse such a move, so he walked over with a smile.
Just as he took a few steps, Luo Chen suddenly changed his face and kicked his right foot on the ground.
"Swish--"
The sound of piercing the night sky two times passed by, and a stone lifted by Luo Chen's toes collided with a feather arrow suddenly shot out from the depths of the woods, making a crisp sound.
The feather arrow was hit by a stone and turned tilted, just passing by Solari's neck. With a dull sound, it pierced on a tree trunk behind Solari.
The tip of the arrow pierced into the trunk of the tree, and the tail of the arrow was still shaking violently, which shows how powerful the arrow was.
If Solari was shot by this arrow, he would have been shot directly through his neck and died immediately on the spot.
Solari was stunned for a moment, her face turned pale, she suddenly pulled out the scimitar again, and shouted loudly: "Enemy attack!" (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!)
