Hoover couldn't quite remember the day he was born. To be honest, even if he remembered it, it would be meaningless because he was a person who should not have been born. His mother did not have a ring on her hand until she died, and his father -

-That drunkard is not his biological father at all.

He was born and grew up in such a deformed family, and spent a not-so-good childhood, accompanied by cheap tobacco and low-quality alcohol.

After Hoover's mother died, he left the town, struck out on his own, and never returned.

Although he is not as energetic as he was when he was twenty, at thirty-seven, it is still the prime of life for a man.

Hoover looked at himself in the mirror. He had been living in the wind and sand for many years. His appearance looked older than his actual age, which was extremely confusing to people who didn't know.

The leader of the horse bandits has a keen perception, just like a wild animal that can be alert to traps set in the wilderness. He vaguely felt that everything seemed to be going too smoothly. The other three horse bandits in the oasis territory could not stop him at all. Even if they unite, Hoover

Don't care either.

However, he always thought that something was wrong, that there seemed to be some missing details.

Talat Pasha was a young man. No matter how capable he was, he was just a boy and had no power.

Although Franklin and Jason have always been unhappy with themselves, they are more wary of each other and don't worry about it.

Malen Pasha is fierce and timid, and his words far outweigh his actual abilities, so there is no need to pay too much attention to him.

As long as he reaches Baisha Settlement, his biggest problem will be solved. As for not returning it to Talat, of course it is easy to borrow and return it. How to return it will be discussed later.

After taking stock in his mind, Hoover grabbed his hair. Maybe he was overthinking, and there was nothing to fear at all.

So what did he miss?

The leader of the horse bandit frowned again, recalling all the details again, and found an inconspicuous person, about whom there was no clue.

There is a Mr. Four beside Talaat.

There are very few descriptions of the mysterious man, other than that he appeared suddenly.

Hoover instinctively got up and walked out, finding the second-in-command who was drinking with his brothers. They had met Talat together at the dinner that day.

The second boss was drunk and shouted: "Boss, what are you doing?"

"I want to ask you something, it's very important."

Hoover took the second-in-charge for a few steps. The latter found that the leader of the horse bandits was preoccupied and quickly cheered up.

"Boss, what's wrong? Who wants to harm us?"

"I don't know, do you still remember the fourth gentleman we met that day?"

Even though he is wearing traditional Sargonian clothes, he also has a mask on his face, with only a pair of eyes exposed?

The second master had an impression, because it was he who yelled at Talaat loudly and was threatened by the mysterious man to poke his eyes out if he came even one step closer.

"Yes, that person is quite strong, at least at close range. I don't want to conflict with him."

It seems that they only have so much contact with Mr. Fourth, it's just a one-sided relationship.

Hoover hummed and said nothing. After a long time, he asked: "Are the prisoners we captured at Baisha Settlement still there?"

"Oh, I've been busy these past two days. I haven't had time to go back to the mine, so I'm locked in the dungeon."

"Let's go to the dungeon."

The two men hurried to the dungeon. In the dark and damp cells, several prisoners were held separately. Hoover randomly pulled out a person and asked a few questions. After interrogating the three prisoners in a row, the horse bandit leader fell silent.

Talaat fought a beautiful battle in the wilderness of Baisha settlement. He used more than 100 light infantry to protect 800 residents and withstood the impact of a cavalry squad. He himself did not suffer much damage and defeated the pursuit of the Baisha royal chieftain.

soldiers, and captured a number of prisoners equal to the number of their own infantry.

This young pasha is really a genius.

But how could such a genius be almost killed by the White Sand Chieftain? If Mr. Four hadn't suddenly appeared, he would have died long ago.

Hoover stared at the second boss and asked, "Do you believe it?"

"I do not believe."

As a horse bandit, the second-in-command knew very well that it would be difficult for someone who had never experienced a cavalry charge to stay calm in that environment, let alone organize a counterattack.

The second master cleared his throat: "Those more than a hundred prisoners were not killed under Talat's order. The pasha took action after listening to Mr. Fourth's suggestion. Before taking action, the mysterious man asked a question. He asked who had not done evil.

, you can stand up without dying."

The result was more than a hundred heads piled into a hill.

Hoover frowned and said, "How did you know?"

"I had a drink with the guard captain of the Talaat camp. What he said personally should not be wrong."

The second boss was stunned and whispered: "Could it be an accident?"

"I'd rather believe it!"

Hoover stood up suddenly and said hurriedly: "Quick, you take our people into the city immediately. You must be quick and move towards the Tallatt camp at full speed!"

"Boss, where are you?!"

"I'm gonna fucking stay here so you can have a chance to escape!"

Hoover spat viciously. He realized that he was in big trouble. There was only one reason. From the beginning, they were on someone else's script!

The life of the chieftain of Baisha is worthless, and the settlement of Baisha is also a piece of bad land, because the fundamental reason lies in what the dead ghost of Baisha did!

He openly attacked a pasha and sent troops to pursue him openly. If he succeeded, he might still have a way to survive, but he failed and got caught. The Sargon royal family would never let him go!

Even if Hoover hadn't taken action, the White Sands chieftain would have been dead, so the leader of the horse bandits caught up with him twenty kilometers outside the Baisha settlement and beheaded the chieftain.

Hoover suddenly realized that he was going crazy.

The normal plot should be that Talaat was assassinated in the Baisha settlement, and the Baisha royal chief was punished. However, not only did the young pasha not die, he also defeated his pursuers in the wilderness and successfully arrived in the oasis territory, just because there was one more person.

And he was so anxious to kill the people who deserved to die that he shouldn't have killed him, and to go to a place he shouldn't have gone to!

Just because I missed one detail, when did Mr. Fourth appear, and more importantly, what he said.

"Boss! What's wrong with you!"

The second boss couldn't understand.

Hoover opened his red eyes, grabbed the collar of the second boss, and growled: "We have made one mistake all the time! That fourth gentleman didn't do nothing, he did it on purpose! We are like a group of fools,

One after another took the bait!”

When he rushed out of the dungeon, Hoover was shocked to see two large fires in the distance coming toward him.

"Boss! The Gauls and Maronites are attacking us!"

The shrill siren rang through the night sky, and the flickering light shone on Hoover's slightly pale face.

The second boss shouted: "Boss! They are nothing to worry about!"

Hoover gasped: "You, don't have a head-on conflict with them. I will lead my brothers to cover your breakout. You must not be surrounded here!"

"Why! Boss, why, tell me something, what time has it been? Is there anything else you can't say?!"

Hoover let go of his hand and smiled sadly: "Second brother, because I killed a person who shouldn't be killed by me, the royal family will not reason with us horse bandits, but you still have a chance to find Talaat. He is the only one."

I can save you!"

He reached out and took off the hat and handed it to the second master: "If you can successfully meet Talat Pasha and take this hat, he will protect you. Second son, I lost this time. If there is no gold in this world,

We should have been heroes long ago."

"Boss..."

"You take a detour and go back, I will help you buy enough time, go quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sand fell like raindrops, hitting people's hair and clothes.

The second boss left without looking back, and Hoover sighed silently and took out the weapon hanging on his waist, hoping that he still had enough time.

…

"I was waiting for you. I thought you wouldn't arrive until tomorrow."

The first person to speak was Zhou Jinru. A ray of light burst out from his palm and shone on the dark figure opposite.

It was an adult wrapped in a black cloak, with metallic armor vaguely visible under the black cloth, and a ferocious metal mask on his face.

Zhou Jinru found that emotion perception can only detect emotion sources without fluctuations.

"Who are you?"

A hoarse voice came from under the metal mask, jokingly saying that the corpse was talking.

"They all call me Mr. Fourth. You came here just to see me, and I am also here waiting for you."

"Why……"

Zhou Jinru said lightly: "To confirm something."

The other party slowly shook his head: "You can't stop me."

"I will try my best to stop you. If you don't believe me, you can try."

"Why?"
