Chapter 624 Emma's attitude Just when Li Yan was preparing for "Grass Blade", there was a desolate scream from the other direction, and it seemed that there were also bandits and bandits appearing on that side.

It didn't take long for Emma and Greenton to summarize what everyone had observed, and found that the bandit gang that came to attack had actually split into two groups, planning to attack from both east and west directions at the same time.

It seems that this sneak attacker is still a little level!

If the estimate is correct, the leader of this bandit gang should be a deserter from the armies of the two countries, and he has also held a certain high position. Otherwise, a pure bandit gang will generally rush up to fight, or surround the target to impose Pressure, rarely so raided from two directions.

Emma and Greenton responded immediately according to the situation. The members of the Xinghui mercenary group defended in the west, and the members of the heavy rain mercenary group defended in the east. O'Kriman and Elvis served as the battle commanders respectively. Emma and Greenton are in the middle of supporting.

Before leaving Jagged City, the coalition forces had already purchased a batch of bows and arrows, in order to be able to use them in the immediate situation.Although the archery skills of the coalition members were not as superb as Betty's, it was not difficult to hit the target tens of meters away. When these bandits approached, it would not be too late to take out their long swords and fight.

And Li Yan and several magicians began to prepare for magic.Li Yan and Betty are mainly in charge of the bandits in the west, Helen helps Elvis deal with the bandits in the east, Beryl is also sent by Emma to the east defense line, as to whether she will take action, that is It depends on what she wants.Melinda's strength is relatively weak, so she can only continue to serve as her therapist.

Betty saw those robbers lying in the weeds and refused to show up, so she was not polite, and continued to draw the bow and shoot arrows. Li Yan could only hear the sound of "swish, swish", and the arrows flew towards Hidden bandits and bandits shoot.

Although Betty couldn't see the specific figures of these bandits and thieves, she could roughly determine their positions based on the traces exposed in the weeds, so the hit rate of Betty's arrows was still very high.

When the miserable cries of the robbers and bandits rang out together, their leader also knew that he couldn't wait any longer, or they would lose everything before the light in the sky disappeared.

"Stop! We still have something to say!" The leader stood up and looked at Betty standing on the vehicle, with a little haze in his eyes.

"This is the Xinghui Mercenary Corps. Your behavior has reached our limit. If you don't withdraw, then we will start a massacre!" O'Kriman said in a deep voice.

"Hmph! Don't think that if you find us, you will be safe. Now I want to talk to the steward of the caravan and tell him to come to see me!" The bandit leader is not a vegetarian, and O'Kriman's threats have no effect on him. Little effect.

Even if the sneak attack fails, he doesn't think that the forty or so people from the coalition army can be their opponents.However, a sneak attack would not work, and a strong attack would cost too much, and he didn't want to rob this caravan just before being taken away by another gang of robbers in a blink of an eye.

The bandits and bandits were not in a hurry to attack, which happened to give Li Yan more time to prepare the "Grass Blade", so Emma immediately sent someone to call the caravan manager over.

Seeing the steward of the caravan show up, the bandit leader seemed to have forgotten his subordinates who were still wailing behind him, and shouted, "Listen to me, we only ask for money and don't kill people! If you can come up with If we are sincere enough, then we will not attack you, and we will guarantee your safety along the way! Now give you 3 minutes to think about it, if we are not satisfied by that time, then we will attack!"

The meaning of the bandit leader's words is to ask for tolls. This is very popular in many places where banditry is prevalent. Caravans use part of their goods or money to buy tolls from bandit bandits. , then the caravan will not be robbed again, but if you encounter some bandits with bad reputation, the toll may be in vain.

As long as the strength is not strong, people will still rob caravans, so why not care about tolls but tolls?

The bandit leader said this to the caravan steward. Emma and Greenton would naturally not intervene. If there is a war, the coalition forces will also do their utmost to protect their safety.

"Captain Emma, ​​what do you think of this?" the caravan steward asked hesitantly.

"It depends on what you want. Whether it's war or peace, it's up to you. We are only responsible for protecting your safety and will not interfere with your decision." Emma said lightly.

"Of course I want to teach them a lesson, but is your Xinghui mercenary group sure to eat them? I also took a rough look just now. They have at least a few hundred people, even if their strength is not as good as yours, so many It’s not easy to deal with people!” The caravan steward was a little unsure, with a mournful face and a look of bewilderment.

The concerns of the caravan stewards are not unreasonable. Most of these robbers and bandits are deserters. Although they are not as strong as the members of the Xinghui Mercenary Corps in terms of individual strength, their combined attack skills are very powerful. Given the superiority in numbers, it is not easy to say who will win and who will lose in a real fight.

Of course, this is just the view of the caravan stewards. From the perspective of the members of the coalition forces, it is not a problem at all to deal with these bandits. The only concern for everyone is whether they can repel these bandits without damage.

"Whether we can beat them is a matter for our Xinghui Mercenary Group. Since we have accepted the task of escorting you, then we will protect your safety. As long as we are not dead, then you don't have to worry about your safety." Worried." Emma said truthfully.

"Oh!" The caravan steward stomped his feet anxiously.

"I mean, how sure are you that you can repel these bandits? If you're not sure, then what's the use of killing all of you? Are we still dangerous?"

Of course Emma understood what the caravan management meant, but she wouldn't say that she could repel these bandits one hundred percent. Wouldn't it be trouble for herself to say so?

Protecting the safety of the caravan is the responsibility of the coalition. Of course, Emma will not abandon the caravan. Even if the loss is heavy, the coalition will protect the safety of the caravan members.

But if the steward of the caravan is willing to pay a toll and the coalition forces can avoid fighting, why not do it?

Emma is not a rigid person, so it is naturally impossible to promise anything to the caravan steward.She will neither encourage the caravan steward to pay tolls, nor will she insist on fighting these bandits for the sake of a little face, and give the caravan steward the right to choose, no matter how he chooses, this It's all his own decision, and he won't be able to blame the coalition forces in the future.

Seeing that Emma hadn't spoken for a long time, the caravan steward knew that there was nothing he could ask from her, so he could only carefully poke his head out of the vehicle, planning to have a good talk with the bandit leader.
