Magus Tech

The rich night cannot be wiped in the air.

In the sky, the moon is shaded, and only a few stars are shining brightly. In the woods outside the emerald city, a caravan is marching hard.

At the very center of the caravan are several carriages pulled by horses, all of which are loaded with valuable goods.One of the goods is even more valuable.

In order to protect these goods, there are many guards around the traveling carriage, with a vigilant expression, and at the end of the line, there are many mercenaries to prevent attacks.

The caravan came from a city called "Newburgh" and was responsible for transporting the goods to Cuijin City.For maximum safety and speed, the beginning is the waterway.But at the end of the trip, he was continuously attacked by enemies from the waterway, and he lost a lot of manpower.Duncan, the caravan supervisor, in his forties, took the opportunity to make a decisive move from waterway to land.

However, on the land, it did not become safe. Just now, the caravan encountered a small-scale attack.Although the attack was quickly resolved by the caravan, it also cast a shadow on Duncan's heart.Looking at the woods in front, Duncan didn't know how many unwilling people were waiting.

"Damn, you shouldn't take this business. Although the profit is really terrible, but it is possible to take your life into it. And it is said that it will be kept absolutely confidential, but now the news is leaked. Damn!" Duncan scolded in his heart. Tao, but did not show this emotion.He knows that he is the backbone of the entire caravan. If he panics, the whole caravan is unbearable.

Taking a deep breath, Duncan tried to calm down and turned his head to look aside.

Beside him is a young man of the caravan, and a man he likes very much. He is 18 years old today and is called Luther.Although the other party came out of the slums, he was very clever. Under his professor, he knew a lot of words and calculated some simple accounts.In a few years' time, you can be alone.The most important thing is that the other party is hard-working and has a principle of doing things. He is very polite to everyone in the caravan and makes everyone very convinced of him.

Duncan deliberately cultivates the other party as a successor. Whenever he goes out, he will try to bring the other party with him, let the other party practice more, and have a long experience, which will help the other party grow.The other party understands this very well, and is very grateful for their efforts.

At this point Duncan looked at Luther and said: "Luther, you are instructed to continue, let everyone remain vigilant, don't relax."

"What's wrong, Uncle Duncan, is there anything wrong?" Buddy Luther asked, shining in his eyes.

"No, now there is nothing wrong, but I always feel a little worried. You should also see that this time is different from the past, the things we ship are too expensive, so precious that they can have a relationship with the mysterious wizards, It is inevitable that many people will covet it. So, you can’t be too careful. What happened on the ship, as well as the attack just now, are examples. We must not make any mistakes."

"Understood, Uncle Duncan, I will tell everyone that everyone will understand what you said."

"Ok."

"By the way, Uncle Duncan, do you want to turn the crossbow out, take a good string, be prepared?" Luther asked again.

"This..." Duncan hesitated.There are organic crossbows in the caravan, and there are a lot of them, and they are still good goods, mainly to guard against unexpected needs.But... such things as machine crossbows are different from bows and arrows, especially when they are of a certain quantity and quality. They are forbidden by the Emerald Kingdom. After all, they may threaten the official rule.

If caught illegally, he will not be sent to the gallows, but a large sum of money is fine.If the caravan are all own people, naturally there is no worry.But this time because of the temporary takeover of big business, lest there is a shortage of manpower, several mercenary squads were hired specifically.The people are talkative, and the mercenaries are guys who see the money. If you take out a lot of crossbows now, you will inevitably be passed by drunk mercenaries, or the mercenaries will report directly for the bounty. Oh no.

Thinking about it for a moment, Duncan looked at Luther and shook his head: "You don't need to do this first, let all the guards check the bow and arrow. As for the machine crossbow, it's really dangerous. After taking it out, it shouldn't delay anything."

"Okay." Luther said nothing more, and turned away.

Duncan suddenly thought of something, and called Luther Road: "Wait."

"What's wrong, Uncle Duncan?" Luther stopped, slightly puzzled.

"Um--" Duncan said in a long tone, his eyes sharpened a bit, and said, "Luther, please help me to tell the captains of the mercenary squads and tell them that a lot of silver coins are employed They did not want them to walk with the caravan, but let them protect the caravan.

If they were attacked, they wouldn’t push it up again, they just shouted in order to let the people of our caravan fight, then they wouldn’t even want to get the final payment, and the deposit would be spit out for me.Our business group, even though they are gentle, are not really bully."

"Yes." Luther heard Duncan's words with a serious expression, nodded vigorously, and turned back towards the caravan.

"Da da da……"

...

For a moment, Luther returned and looked at Duncan: "Uncle Duncan, everything is done. Everyone in the caravan understands your meaning and promises to be careful. And the mercenary squads all said, There was no response before and let us fight each other. If we meet the enemy again, they will definitely take the initiative to go up and try our best to protect the safety of each of us."

"Oh, the mercenary's guarantee?" Duncan shook his head. "They just listen to what they say. Don't believe them too much. Let's watch it later."

"Well, I actually think so." Luther echoed.

"That's good," Duncan said, saying nothing more.

"Squeaky..."

The horses pulled the carriage forward, the crowd followed, and the whole caravan was moving hard and carefully in the woods.

"Squeaky..."

...

The entire team was quiet for about half an hour. The silence was suddenly broken, and someone shouted, "Be careful!"

The entire caravan stopped immediately, "brushing" all at once, the caravan guards pulled out their weapons together, and looked around with caution, some of them also took up bows and arrows, but ... did not attack.

Duncan frowned and shouted: "Who is yelling?!"

"Duncan is in charge, it's me." One person walking in front of the caravan made a sound and pointed to the road ahead. "Duncan was in charge. The road was blocked. I was afraid that there might be an ambush, so I called out carefully."

"Ok?"

Duncan's eyes flicked and he looked ahead. Sure enough, he saw a dry tree trunk not far away, stopping the whole caravan.

This……

Luther leaned into Duncan's ear and whispered, "Uncle Duncan, let me check the situation." Then he walked away and was caught by Duncan.

Luther turned his head to look at Duncan, puzzled.At this time, Duncan was expressionless, and the eyes in his eyes didn't know whether it was because of fear or vigilance, and he seemed a little cold.

As soon as he turned his head, Duncan shouted to the side and named the two guys: "Rick and Spar, you two go ahead and check the situation. If there is no problem, move the trunk away."

After a pause, Duncan added: "This time both of you are doing well. When I reach Cuijin City, I will raise your salary. Also, be careful."

"Uh, Uncle Duncan, we'll be careful." The two guys named said, not much fear, more joy, not knowing whether it was because they were cared about or because of a salary increase.

The two walked out of the caravan and quickly walked towards the blocking trunk.

Before walking to the tree trunk, the two of them were not stupid. They first took a closer look at the surroundings and found that there were no abnormalities before reaching for the tree trunk.

The trunk was very heavy, and the two of them spent a lot of effort to move it. As a result, they just moved halfway, and suddenly Duncan heard a warning: "Be careful!"

"Why..." The two hadn't responded yet. The sound of "" sounded, and many arrows flew from the sides of the woods, shooting them directly into a hedgehog.

The two fell down with a thump.

Duncan was too sad to continue to warn and shouted: "There is an ambush! Be careful!"

The entire caravan moved quickly, trying to defend.After shooting two buddies who moved the tree, Arrow shot from the sides of the woods, quickly towards the caravan.

Some people did not dodge in time and fell in screams.

Duncan lowered his head to hide on the side of the carriage, and pressed Luther's head firmly under his body, while shouting: "Fight back!"

After hearing Duncan's words, the security guards in the caravan who were responsible for safety all stood up and shot with bows and arrows in the direction of the attack on both sides.However, under the double attack, he was obviously at a disadvantage. He counterattacked for a while and didn't kill many enemies, but he suffered a half of his casualties.It seems that it is only a matter of time if we stay here and leave all people dead.

"Damn it!" Duncan scolded after looking at it, and said to himself, "You can't go on like this, you have to find a way to leave. You must let those mercenaries cover and let the caravan rush out..."

Luther, who was crushed under Duncan, listened to this and forcibly stood up and shouted, "Uncle Duncan, I will inform the mercenaries, I..."

"No, I'll go." Before Luther finished his words, he was interrupted by Duncan, and Duncan pressed his head under him again.Duncan said in a deep voice, "You can't, you can't go.

First, it is too dangerous now. You are still young and you have to find a way to survive, because you have to go back and marry Melissa!I only have such a daughter, and she only likes you, you must not take risks!

Second, those mercenaries are cowards who see money, and you, a young man, cannot hold them back.Only if I go can I let them honestly follow orders.So, I go."

Duncan bent over and walked to the side. Luther's eyes were red and he grabbed Duncan. "Uncle Duncan, let me go..."

"Don't be wordy!"

The two were about to argue, but they heard a loud and corrupt roar behind the convoy: "Duncan is in charge, Duncan is in charge, damn, the group of mercenaries escaped!"

Um, this...

The problem was solved immediately, and neither of them had to go.

Duncan's face was pale with anger, and he hit the ground with anger: "Damn mercenaries, I know they can't be trusted!"

"Then... Uncle Duncan, what are we going to do now?" Luther asked aloud. "Shall we fight the enemy?"

"Fight?" Duncan's eyes flickered, his eyes fixed for a moment, and he said, "Yes, fight!"

"But..." Duncan's tone changed suddenly, looking at Luther. "But it's me desperately, not you. Boy, don't be excited, I tell you, this is the only way. I'll take it later Come out the crossbow, distribute it to everyone, and then send a round of salvo to ensure that the damn enemy is temporarily suppressed, and you want to find a way to break out on horseback. You break out, of course, not to save your life, but more importantly, do two pieces thing."

Duncan lifted his body, groped for a while on the carriage, found a white wooden box, and stuffed it into Luther's arms. He said, "This is the most valuable cargo in our business. If you lose it, Our entire business group can’t afford to lose. So the first thing you break out is to protect it and not let him fall into the hands of the enemy.

And the second thing you need to do after you break out is to rush to Cuijin City with the fastest speed, get help there, and let the official soldiers of Cuijin City come to rescue us.Don't give me red eyes, this is not the time to cry.As long as you do well, we can all live, and I want to see you marry Melissa, will not die easily.Did you understand what I said?"

"Understood." Luther nodded vigorously.

Duncan took a deep breath: "That's good."

At the next moment, Duncan rushed out like an old leopard and opened the other car with a box in it, which contained a metal crossbow with a shiny metallic luster...

...

Half-sounding, the shooting from both sides of the woods continued, ready to shoot all the caravan people, but the caravan suddenly burst out with a stormy arrow to counterattack, making the people on both sides caught by surprise. Several unlucky ghosts hit arrows and screamed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, a horse in the caravan ran out at high speed. Luther was almost on the horse's back with his waist, holding a white wooden box in his arms, and his teeth rushed out of the enclosure, out of the woods, and into the distance. Emerald city.

"Da Da Da... Da Da Da..."

The sound of horseshoes continued, and on the road outside the woods, Luther desperately whipped the horses, increasing the speed of the horses to the highest level.

He wants to be fast, faster, very fast!

If he delays for a second, the caravan may die one more person.

Thinking of this, Luther thrashed the horse again, and at the next moment his eyes looked forward, but he was shocked.Pulling the horse's reins violently, the horse hissed, and the front hoofs were raised high, and then fell heavily, stepping on the ground two deep depressions a few centimeters deep.

On the road ahead, dozens of heavily-armed cavalry were approaching Mercedes-Benz, approaching quickly, and then surrounded Luther.

Luther was very nervous, holding the box in his arms a little trembling, swallowing and drooling, and asked out to the unidentified person: "You... who are you?"

A cavalryman stepped forward, took off his helmet, and showed his blonde hair. He glanced like a handsome face and said Luther: "I am Mil, the captain of the Third Cavalry Guard of Emerald City. Who are you? "

Luther immediately opened his eyes when he heard: "You are a soldier in the Emerald City, no, it's an adult?! Mi... Lord Mi, hello, my... I'm Luther, I'm from the Bauhinia Merchants, escort Something came to Cuijin City. We were attacked halfway. Only me broke out and wanted to ask for your help. Now please follow me and quickly rescue Uncle Duncan from our business group?"

"Huh?" Mill frowned, and didn't seem to believe Luther easily, and asked, "You can make it clear, what do you escort from the Bauhinia Merchant Corps escort to Cuijin City? Why were they attacked?"

"Our Bauhinia Merchants Corps escorted a very precious thing. I don’t know what it was. But Uncle Duncan said it was related to the mysterious wizard. If it is lost, we will not be able to pay for it. Up. Because of this, it was attacked by people..."

"That precious thing is in the wooden box in your hands now?" Mill suddenly interrupted Luther.

"Yeah, yes." Luther said unpreparedly.

"Open me to see, I want to confirm what you said. After confirmation, I will follow you to save people." Mill said.

"Good." Luther didn't think much, and opened the box quickly, revealing the contents inside.

As you can see inside the box, in the thick black silk, there are three crystal-like creations.The volume is not very large, it is round, and the surface is cumbersome.And inside, there is a purple light flashing, even at night, you can see clearly."

Luther looked at the wonder in the box with some surprise.

Mill narrowed her eyes and said to herself: "Is it really a test-free voucher? Now that it's developed, hehe, I should be lucky in my Lorraine family."

"Ok?"

Luther looked up at Mill, listening to Mill's words, feeling a little puzzled, and then his body suddenly cooled.

Suddenly he was a little alert. Perhaps the official army in Cuijin City was not in front of him.

Otherwise, why is the other party not in Jade Gold City, but on the road of Jade Gold City?Otherwise, why is the other party more familiar with the goods than him?Otherwise, why does the other party have to look at the things in his box to save people?

Luther thought so, and then saw that Mill in front of him suddenly smiled strangely at him, and with an unabashed "brush", he drew his sword and slammed at him.

Luther's blood coagulated throughout his body, and his brain was blank. Only one thought left: Uncle Duncan, I'm sorry...

Just when Luther felt mortal, he suddenly blew a few times, several arrows almost wiped Luther's ear, and shot at Mill's head.

"Bang", Mill's hand loosened, and the sword fell.

"Boom", Mill still kept a strange smile on his face, but the whole person fell off the horse straight.

Luther felt that the blood had returned to flow. Looking away, he saw that a few dozen meters away, a larger number of cavalry rushed over and launched a massacre against the cavalry who had surrounded him.

While the other party was slaughtering, they said, "You, the people of the Lorraine family, have violated the laws of the kingdom, and I will purge you in accordance with the order of the king. Those who dare to resist, die, and lay down their arms to surrender. ..."

The new cavalry was obviously powerful, and the battle was resolved in just a moment. A tall knight rode to Luther and said: "Hi, boy, don't be afraid, I was ordered by the king to protect you and your business group. Delivery of the goods. Bring the thing to me quickly, I want to make sure it is safe."

"Is this the official army of the real Emerald City." Luther thought a little, and subconsciously handed out the box.

The next moment, I heard more horseshoes sounded further away, and then more cavalry rushed madly.The leading one shouted: "The Philip family, you are bold, dare to attack the other families under the command of the king. You want to start a war of nobility, you are the real violation of the law, you all die for me..."

Luther froze, froze completely, and had no idea who to believe.

The night is still long, more and more people are gathering under the cover of the night, fighting for and fighting for a precious thing...

Richard, however, was writing something quietly on the papyrus with a quill pen in the yard study where he lived.

"Shusha..."

The night is chaotic and quiet...
