The Beginning of Panlong: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 74 The Robber
About twenty miles away from Hogg's motorcade, a group of people gathered together.

These men and horses were wearing various styles of armor, some were powerful warriors wearing fine metal armor, and some were wearing colorful and worthless clothes.

They were either carrying different weapons on their backs or holding different weapons.

War knives, heavy axes, greatswords, daggers, bows and arrows. . .

The only thing they have in common is that each of them leads a horse. . .At the same time, most of them had a strong look of greed on their faces.

If you have to give a definition to this group of people. . .mob.

Obviously, this is a group of robbers.

A group of powerful bandits.

In Yulan Continent, being a bandit also involves high risks.

Those who are too weak will be hacked to death when they go out to rob.

And the ones who are truly powerful. .There is no need to be a bandit, a career with no future.

There are very few bandits with level nine strength on Yulan Continent.

With a ninth-level strength, if you want stability, you can serve the royal families of various kingdoms. If you want status, you can go to places like the Territory of Chaos and the Eighteen Principalities of the Northern Territory and become the king. It is not difficult to become a grand duke.

A ninth-level strongman can do well in any situation, and it is easy to become a noble. Naturally, he will not become a robber.

Counting from the first year of the Yulan calendar, there are only a few "[-]th-level giant thieves" with clear records.Among the bandits gathered here, there is no ninth-level expert.

But there are still some bandits with the strength of eighth-level warriors. .

On the Magnolia Continent, historically there were very few ninth-level warriors who became bandits. They could be called giant thieves.

And when an eighth-level warrior becomes a robber, he is also considered a big robber.

As for the seventh-level warrior, that is the level of the general bandit leader.

Generally, for bandits who block roads, the bandit leader is at least a seventh-level warrior.If there are not even seventh-level warriors, then they will give their lives to the escort team.

The hundreds of bandits here are all rabble, but rabble only means that there is no unified force.

In this world, there is no unified force, which does not mean we are weak.

A seventh-level warrior whose strength exceeds that of an ordinary [-]-man squad.

An eighth-level warrior can easily defeat a squadron of 400 people.

There are more than 20 seventh-level warriors in this group of bandits!

Even the three leaders are eighth-level warriors.The rest, even if they are not sixth-level warriors, are at least fourth- and fifth-level warriors with some skills.

The three eighth-level warriors led by him are even more famous thieves.

"Madman", "hyena" and "poison".

Few people know their real names, and they are usually called by their gangster names.He was one of those time-honored thieves who had even escaped being hunted by ninth-level warriors.

For these three thieves to gather a group of subordinates here, there is naturally a "big deal", and they are not targeting ordinary targets.

"Master Stone Sculptor... Hog Baruch, do you think it is really necessary to deal with him in such a big way?" The "fanatic" among the three thieves shook his head.

He is a bald, strong man and the tallest of the three thieves. He even looks naive. . .But in fact, how could he be a truly honest person if he could become a great thief?To be able to escape from the prison of the Magnolia Empire's imperial capital, the madman's wisdom is very impressive.

"Nonsense." Poison's voice was hoarse. "That Hogg himself is nothing. He can hold up a seventh-level warrior... But are you sure that the Proulx Guild Hall did not send anyone to protect him?"

Her voice was hoarse, but just looking at her face, she was actually a beautiful woman about 30 years old. . .However, her record of poisoning a small town overnight made none of her bandits dare to have any thoughts about her.

"That's because you, a poison-playing guy, don't understand the status of a stone carving master at all. The last recognized new stone carving master was 35 years ago."

Hyena took over the conversation. He was the most elegant of the three, like an elegant middle-aged nobleman. Only his narrowed eyes revealed his cunning and coldness. There are at most thirty in the mainland, maybe even less than this number. Even a newly minted stone carving master has a high status."

"As long as we can catch that Hogg, we will definitely make a lot of money."

"First force him to carve a statue, and then ask for a ransom from the Proulx Hall. Once the ransom is received, kill him... In this way, you will get the last work of a master." The madman also revealed his appearance. With a happy smile, "This is the master's legacy. There is hope that the value will be doubled even if it is ten times greater."

"When we share the gold coins and change our appearance, we won't need to do this kind of business." Poison also showed a "gratified" smile, but it made the people around him feel chilled.

"Okay, it's almost time to set off." Looking up at the moon, the hyena said, "According to our initial plan... Poisoner, let's give them some 'poison' first. Remember, don't put that person Master Hogg was killed."

"It's easy to say..." Poison's face showed a bright and perverted smile, and his tongue licked his lips, "I use paralyzing poison, Master Hogg will definitely not die. I also I want to 'taste' the taste of a master stone carver."

"That doesn't matter, but don't make him weak...his legacy is very valuable." The hyena glanced at her, and a stabbing sword was unsheathed in his palm, glowing with a silver light.

------

"Three eighth-level warriors, 26 seventh-level warriors, and the rest are mainly sixth-level warriors... Judging from their attire and names, they should be bandits. But it's hard to say for sure. After all, it could also be performance art. Well."

Lying in the carriage, Hogg watched this scene with interest, but without any pressure.

Not to mention three eighth-level warriors, even these eight-level warriors did not pose any threat to him.

If these bandits were all ninth-level warriors. . .It would be possible to force him to transform into a half-dragon and raise his fighting spirit to the level of a 'half-sacred realm'. Only in this way would it be possible to ensure that his fellow travelers would not be harmed at all.

Hogg waited for more than an hour, but the bandits seemed to be standing still.

He also wondered, could this group of bandits really be engaging in performance art, or were they trying to suppress the hundreds of small fish and shrimps that had important goals and looked down on the caravan?
Just when Hogg was so suspicious, his nose suddenly twitched.

A strange smell in the air instantly made Hogg lose his sleep.

"Wow~"

The dog barks. .Oh no, it was the sound of a wolf howling.

"Poisonous gas...but it has no effect on me." Hogg knew very well that even if he was not of the dragon-blooded warrior bloodline, his ninth-level strength body could easily resist most poisons.

However, others may not.

For example, my wife, although her fighting spirit has reached the peak of level seven, her body is only at level three, or maybe not yet.

It would be hard to deal with if you were really poisoned.

Hogg was so anxious that he stopped holding his hand and stretched out his right arm to "grab" in the air.

This grasp contains a certain rhythm, forming layers of strength.

The strong force stirred up the breeze, blowing in the opposite direction of the poisonous gas.

For Hogg, who is already at the peak of the Holy Realm, it is very easy to simply use "momentum" to easily control the breeze to blow back the poisonous gas.
