  Chapter 12 Encountering Wilderness Robbers

   At the beginning, there were two jackals, they only followed from a distance, neither attacked nor fled.

  Robin and the others tried to kill the two gnolls several times, but as soon as the iron guard stepped forward, the two beasts immediately retreated, keeping a safe distance from the team, like a piece of irritating brown sugar.

  The two gnolls were still unable to pose a threat to the team. Although Robin was a little annoyed, he couldn't do anything about them for a while. But in a blink of an eye, there was only one Jackal man left, and the other one disappeared.

   This is a very dangerous signal, the disappearing wolf man is very likely to report back to the tribe. For these savage indigenous tribes, the human caravan is a big gift package from the gods, and once they find it, they will definitely take a bite.

   Gnolls are a very common indigenous race in the wasteland. Although the name contains the word wolf, in fact, they look more like a hyena walking upright, with a row of hard hairs like steel needles growing on their backs.

   According to legend, the wolf man is the descendant of the ancient orc, and has a close blood relationship with the werewolf.

Although the two look a bit similar, gnolls and werewolves are completely different. Werewolves in ancient times were highly civilized and intelligent races, while gnolls are almost synonymous with barbarism and backwardness. They retain more animal parts in their blood. , and almost lost that part of being human.

In the wasteland, the wolf men live together in the form of tribes. The large tribes have thousands of people, and the small tribes may only have dozens of people. It is hard to say how many wolf man tribes there are in this wasteland. as much.

   Jackals are not only bloodthirsty and cruel, but they also hate humans extremely, because the human pioneering movement squeezed their living space.

  Both Robin and Janna are experienced people. When they saw that there was a wolf man missing behind them, they both realized that the other party might be moving reinforcements, but then they had a disagreement.

Relying on her years of experience in doing business in the wasteland, Janna's first solution was to run away. If the carriage was too slow, discard them all. The rest of the people immediately retreated to Silver Frost City, as long as they escaped to the patrolling range of the imperial guards. , they are generally safe.

The natives of the wasteland seldom approach Silver Frost City on their own initiative, because they have experienced the combat effectiveness of the regular human army, and their ancestors will teach them generation after generation. Today you ran to the vicinity of a human city, and your skin will appear the next day. In the human bazaar.

  Jana’s strategy cannot be said to be wrong. This is just a routine operation for human caravans encountering wilderness natives. Of course, if your soldiers are elite enough and your weapons and armor are sophisticated enough, you can also try to fight.

   But obviously, Janna doesn't think their team has this ability.

   There are only twelve people on Robin's side. Although the highlanders are brave and good at fighting, the gnolls are also bloodthirsty and brutal.

   And there are only a dozen people on Janna's side, and Janna is well aware of the combat effectiveness of her caravan. When encountering a large number of gnolls, they can only run for their lives.

  But Robin objected, and after thinking for a while, he decided that the team would move on.

  He is not a blind command by patting his head, but a reasonable decision after weighing many parties.

   It is only two days away from Silver Frost City. There are no large wolf man tribes nearby. The large tribes have been wiped out one by one by humans, leaving only a few small tribes with a population of dozens.

  After the bloodline awakening, the highlanders are no longer as powerful as they used to be. Now they are all genuine awakeners, and it is no problem for one person to single out ten gnolls.

  As long as the number of gnolls coming is less than 100, Robin is confident that he can fight a beautiful battle without injury. Even if there are more than 100 gnolls, it is not a big problem.

  Besides, Robin paid real money for these carts of goods, so just throw them away? It's not your money that you dare to lose.

  Robin is poor now, even a copper coin has to be broken into two halves to spend, so asking him to throw away these truckloads of goods will kill him.

  Jana doesn't understand Robin's confidence, she just thinks Robin is a crazy megalomaniac.

   "Lord Baron, I think you haven't realized the seriousness of the problem. Once that jackal brings reinforcements, we will all die in this wasteland."

  The red turban stood on top of the carriage with an unbelievable expression, and continued to move forward? Only lunatics and fools would choose to move on in this situation!

  Given the bravery and shamelessness of this lord when bargaining, Janna prefers that he belongs to the former.

   "Don't worry, my guards will defeat all incoming enemies. If those gnolls really don't have eyes to attack us, then congratulations, Miss Janna, you will have another batch of furs."

  Robin rode on the horse, leisurely and leisurely, without a hint of nervousness at all, and he even looked forward to the wolf man's attack.

   "The premise is that we can win!"

   "Of course we can win." Robin's tone was taken for granted.

  Jana cursed Robin in her heart as a lunatic, but now she has no other better choice.

  She could indeed choose to abandon Robin and retreat with her own people, but recklessly dividing the troops would only make the small number of troops thinner, and the situation would only be more dangerous.

  After weighing the pros and cons, Janna had no choice but to follow the lunatic baron in front of her, praying in her heart that the missing wolf man just went to the bathroom.

   "Well, I wish you knew what you were doing?"

  Robin showed a satisfied smile: "Don't worry, Miss Janna, I will guarantee your safety."

  He turned his horse around and shouted at the others: "Okay, let's move on."

  The convoy walked along the dirt road for another half a day, until the sun crossed three-quarters of the sky, and what Janna was worried about finally happened, and a group of jackals chased up from behind.

  Robin decisively ordered to stop the advance. He let the troika lie in the middle of the road as a cover, and prepared to wipe out this group of ignorant natives on the spot.

  He jumped into a carriage in the middle and observed the enemy's situation from a distance. There were about sixty gnolls on the other side, which was less than Robin estimated, but it was considered a large tribe in this area.

The civilization level of this wolf man tribe is very low. Most of the wolf men wear rags that they don’t know where to pick up. tail.

  The weapons in their hands are even more shabby to the point of ridiculousness. Broken and broken swords are already considered rare items, and more of them only have a wooden stick in their hands, or they are empty-handed.

Although this group of jackals look extremely shabby, no one will underestimate them because of this. The sharp teeth and claws of the jackals are the most dangerous weapons. Changing lives is very difficult.

  Jana also jumped into the carriage and looked towards the Wolf man not far away. Her young face was full of fear and seriousness, and it was pointless to curse Robin at this time.

  The members of the caravan were all facing the enemy, they drew their weapons one after another, and hid behind the carriage in fear.

   Robin's iron guards are in a completely different state. This group of highland barbarians are also ready for battle, but the atmosphere between them is obviously much more relaxed, and there is a feeling of weightlessness. Only veterans who are used to killing and are extremely confident in their own strength can have such an aura.

   "What should we do?" Janna asked Robin anxiously, now she can only hope that Robin's confidence just now is not just pretending.

   "What should I do? Kill them on the spot!" Robin said as a matter of course.

   "Just how many of us are there?"

  Janna was so anxious that she was about to cry, she was so remorseful now, nothing good happened since she met this man!

   "Your people don't need to move, just guard the carriage. A dozen or so people like me are enough."

   I’ve seen it all here, let’s bookmark it
