As the lead coachman blew the horn made from the horns of the Peverolo cow, the sleeping people in the convoy got up sleepily, getting ready for another day's journey.

Hearing the loud and long voice, Ivan immediately opened his eyes.

He got up very early, or he didn't actually sleep much last night.

Sleeping like a dead pig in the wild is undoubtedly very dangerous, and even a slightly smarter adventurer will not allow himself to sleep too deeply.

Ivan did not practice swordsmanship as usual, nor did he even conduct any meditation training.

He didn't want to draw too much attention, especially when everyone around him was unfriendly.

After fully enjoying the special bread made by the Chamber of Commerce and a small bowl of soup, the convoy really set off.

The climate of the Flanar Plain is mild and humid, with obvious alternations of winter and summer monsoons. The plain starts from the Splensmarai Mountains, and the continuous mountains block the cold air flowing in from the north. This makes the climate in the central part of the plain warm all year round, which is extremely suitable for planting and agriculture.

.

But people on the east coast are not so lucky.

All this is due to the "strange sea" Tahamat on the east side.

The reason why it is called the "Weird Sea" is because of the strange and changeable climate on the coast of Tahamat.

In fact, it is more often used to describe its knife-like sea breeze.

Therefore, most of the land to the east has been vacant, and no farmers will choose to grow crops here unless they are forced to do so.

If it were not blocked by the large forest on the east side, the central and western plains would not be able to escape the cold winds of Tahamat.

The Chamber of Commerce convoy is still in this huge forest, and the biting cold wind of the Tahamat coast can be felt through the trees.

The motorcade moved forward slowly. Wherever the team passed, countless birds and animals could only look at it from a distance and did not dare to move forward.

As for the robbers?

There was even more noise, for fear of being misunderstood that the goods were being plundered, so there was no trace at all.

No one dares to attack such a convoy of thousands of people, especially if it is a convoy jointly led by the three major chambers of commerce.

In fact, the number of times such a convoy of thousands of people has been robbed is indeed very small.

So far, there have only been two incidents, and they were all resolved due to frequent accidents. However, the three major chambers of commerce used extremely huge financial resources to recover their goods and... face.

These two "accidents" just show that not everyone is afraid of such a huge Chamber of Commerce convoy. At least there are still bold guys who are not afraid of revenge.

The wandering bandit known as "Zaku" near the Flanar Plain is one of them.

"Zaku" is one of the few bandit organizations that dares to take advantage of the three major chambers of commerce.

The reason why it is called "Zaku" is because the leader of this bandit calls himself "Zaku". Although he is just a bandit, his life is quite legendary, so many people regard him as a delicacy.

for tea talk.

Of course, this is based on the fact that you have not been robbed by him.

It is said that Zaku was once a nobleman of "Teislot".

Teislot was once a principality located on the west coast of the north, and was once one of the most warlike countries on the continent.

They have always regarded external expansion as their country's strategy, and call themselves the "people of the God of War."

They invaded and plundered neighboring lands, craftsmen and even farmers, and this continued until they were conquered by another good

The war ended with the destruction of Karrnath, a great western nation.

From then on, the Teislot people who destroyed their country could only wander on the mainland. Some people became unknown mercenaries, while others simply chose to occupy the land and become kings and continue to plunder.

Zaku is one of them.

Today, this bandit organization named after it has gathered many people who are also notorious in the North.

The reason why this person is called a "legend" is because he has never been caught in the bandit suppression operations jointly organized by the three major chambers of commerce and several nearby principalities.

Not only that, this person has publicly challenged the three major chambers of commerce many times.

"See once, grab once!"

Once, when the Northland person in charge of the Chester Chamber of Commerce was walking through the ruins on the ground, the wind blew away the remains of the carriage and he saw these six characters. He was so angry that he fainted on the spot.

If I have to use an inappropriate metaphor, "Zaku" is the leader of the robbery industry in Northland.

At this time, most people on the convoy did not know that they were about to encounter the king of robbery.

After all, this batch of goods is extremely important to the three major chambers of commerce. For this batch of goods, they have organized a wave of bandit suppression operations in advance, and the number one target is "Zhagu".

No one could have imagined that these robbers would come back so quickly.

When a large number of shouting black figures emerged one by one from the forest, everyone realized that they had been ambushed.

A convoy of thousands of people is too bulky, and it is impossible to escape the bandits if they are ambushed in the forest.

However, the convoy has a large number of mercenaries and chamber of commerce guards. Do you think the convoy will escape when faced with a group of bandits whose number is less than one-tenth of theirs?

Facing such a huge Chamber of Commerce fleet, even for "Zaku", it would be good if it could succeed once out of ten.

Therefore, almost everyone looked at this group of weirdly dressed guys with surprised expressions.

Are these people here to die?

"You'd better get out of the way quickly, otherwise you bugs will die!" the head of the Chester Chamber of Commerce said with his chin looking at the robbers blocking the road in front of him.

No one among the robbers spoke, but no one moved out of the way.

"Huh? You don't even know the common language in mainland China? Or do you mean that you don't have anyone here who can make decisions?"

"Oh, everyone, I'm so sorry, I'm late."

A voice came from behind the many robbers, and then the robbers stepped aside one after another until the owner of the voice appeared.

"Zaku!"

It was not the first time for some people in the convoy to deal with Zaku, and they still recognized this hateful face.

"Are you Zaku?" The young man from the Chester Chamber of Commerce still looked arrogant.

After all, they are just a group of bandits who are running around everywhere. Why would a successful person like him look at such a scum with a straight eye?

"Oh, has Mr. Nisson from the Chester Chamber of Commerce retired early?" Zaku asked curiously after seeing the Chamber of Commerce badge on the carriage.

The young man's face darkened when he heard this, and he thought, isn't it because of you, the robber? Last time, it was because of you, the Chester Chamber of Commerce, that a very important batch of goods was lost, causing the Chamber of Commerce to pay a large amount of liquidated damages, and then

Only the old gentleman will be dismissed.

So, the young man could only nodded stiffly.

"Oh, that's it. Over the past few days, I've

I still miss the old man a little bit." Zhagu seemed to feel quite regretful, and did not feel at all that he was the culprit that caused him to be laid off early.

"I advise you to give the order to get out of the way quickly, otherwise my guards will be a little grumpy."

The mercenaries and guards behind showed their ferocious faces at the right time, waving their weapons as if they were going to break someone's bones.

Zaku couldn't help but shook his head, with a smile on his face that was inexplicably familiar to Ivan.

That is the smile that belongs to the nobility.

Noble and elegant yet horribly hypocritical.

"Sorry, I may disappoint you."

Ivan felt something was wrong. This man who spoke in a slow and unhurried manner and exuded an aristocratic temperament in his movements made him instinctively feel danger.

Upon seeing this, the young man said coldly: "Then you will die here!"

He gave the order, and the guards and mercenaries pounced on him like tigers and wolves devouring him.

Because the protective power was very abundant, the mercenaries and caravan guards did not choose to shrink their defenses, but took the initiative to fight against the bandits.

In fact, most of the down-and-out mercenaries and external temporary guards don't dare to rush forward too much. After all, what if you accidentally die in the face of a vicious bandit?

Money and life, they can still understand which is more important.

unless……

This amount of gold coins is outrageous.

However, it is obvious that the remuneration given to them by the Chamber of Commerce does not meet this standard. How can it be possible for them to work hard with bread?

However, they are not all fishers in troubled waters. Most of them are temporary guards certified by the Adventurers Association or the Mercenary Association, and they still have professional ethics, as long as the situation is not one-sided.

The fighting began.

The crossbow arrows fired from the darkness of the forest injured many people in an instant.

"Hide in the carriage!" someone shouted.

Ivan and Hill hid behind a carriage immediately. These people hiding in front of the little girl were not enough to see.

"What should I do? Do you want to go?" Hill asked.

"Try your best." Ivan also had a headache. After all, he used money to help others eliminate disasters, but he would not stupidly rush into a crowd with a long sword.

The two took out their wands.

At this time, you can see the rarity of magicians. Apart from Ivan and Hill, there are only a few spell casters in the thousands of people in the Chamber of Commerce convoy. As for the bandit Zaku, there are no spell casters.

In ordinary people's perception, a magician with a distinguished status would not hold such a lowly position as a motorcade guard.

Most of the spellcasters in the Chamber of Commerce have contracts for exchange of interests. After all, magicians are the most expensive profession on the continent, bar none! In this way, the merchants also treat these spellcasters as their bosses.

Apart from this, there is only Ivan, a lone mage who does not belong to any force. In order to survive, he has to accept some such accompanying commissions.

However, there are very few magicians of this kind, because without the support of big forces, it is actually difficult for magicians to move forward.

Hill's magic skills are actually very poor, and Ivan only asked her to use the wand to find an excuse to prevent the little girl from fighting these bandits up close.

The air around Ivan became extremely cold. As soon as he concentrated, a large number of ice spikes shot into the forest.
