Chapter 3072 The World of the Wizard (Three)
Half a month later, Lin Haoming became the guard of a businessman and headed towards Jiangwang City, the capital of Jiang Kingdom.
At this time, Lin Haoming was wearing a leather armor. Lin Haoming deliberately wandered in the wild in the middle of the night, and then several robbers appeared, so Lin Haoming also had this outfit.
Qingfeng City is still very safe, and some villages and towns are also relatively safe, but the wild is not so safe. Many people who have lost their arable land and have no source of harvest have become bandits and make a living by robbing alone pedestrians. As long as murders are not often caused, Viscount Qingfeng rarely sends people to wipe out it, so this also provides Lin Haoming with a source of harvest.
The five robbers were not good people. When Lin Haoming saw them appear, he immediately felt the murderous aura on them. Obviously, they had killed people and had seen blood. Lin Haoming naturally would not be polite, and he took them all in a few moments.
The robber leader is from the leather armor, and 70% of the new size is suitable for him. In addition, the robber has a good steel knife, which is also Lin Haoming's main outfit.
In fact, these robbers are all very poor except for the leader. Although they all hold knives and the like, they all have gaps and have no money on them.
Lin Haoming only found two more gold coins from the five people. It was really sad that the bandits were so poor.
After robbing the robbers, Lin Haoming came to Qingfeng City and passed the assessment of a mercenary group with the identity certificate given by Old Man Zhang and became a member of the mercenary group. Half a month later, he received the escort task, which is also the reason why Lin Haoming joined this mercenary group.
The merchant transported some handicrafts, all of which were carved from stones, shells and even corals in the sea. As for whether there were any more expensive ones, Lin Haoming didn't know.
The mercenary group sent twelve people including Lin Haoming, the leader named Wang Xing. From Lin Haoming, he learned that Wang Xing entered the Jiang Kingdom's army at the age of sixteen. He was discharged from the army at the age of thirty. He was the battalion commander before he was discharged.
In the Jiang Kingdom army, five people are one army, five people are one team, and five teams are one battalion, so Wang Xing was also a figure who led more than one hundred people back then.
Of course, the businessman named Wang also has more than a dozen guards, so the combined number of guards in the convoy reached nearly thirty.
The City of Xuefu is only three hundred miles away from Jiangwang City, so it is much easier to get there and go there. The Qingfeng City where Lin Haoming is located is nearly three thousand miles away from Jiangwang City. It takes more than three months to walk thirty miles a day. It is no wonder that Boss Wang hires so many people.
Boss Wang was sitting in a carriage, and the goods were placed on the carriage, but the guards could only walk. Horses were also very expensive in Jiang Country. A bastard who brought goods also cost more than ten gold coins, which was more than the expenses of Old Man Zhang and his family in a year.
Joining the Mercenary Group and carrying out this mission that lasted more than half a year, Lin Haoming could get three gold coins, and the expenses along the way were paid by Boss Wang. For the mercenary group, this is not a good or a bad task. Of course, there is no accident.
In fact, it is indeed very safe to escort more than a dozen carriages, especially the things on the car are not very expensive. Lin Haoming also knew from his peers that handicrafts are the most unprofitable spoils for bandits, because this thing has no suitable sales channels and cannot be sold at a high price. It is absolutely not worthwhile to fight with nearly thirty guards for some handicrafts.
However, the more this happened, Lin Haoming felt that the mission was a bit unstable, because since Boss Wang had more than a dozen guards, why did he hire people like him? Especially later, Lin Haoming learned that Boss Wang and Wang Xing were still in the same clan, and he also named the names and asked the masters in the clan to guard it, which was a bit strange.
Sure enough, there was no problem along the way. When we were about to arrive at Jiangwang City, we suddenly encountered heavy rain and the convoy had to spend the night in the open space on the side of the road.
This situation is bad for everyone. It is not only the harsh environment in the wild, but more importantly, it is prone to looting by bandits, so after deciding to stay overnight, everyone was very alert.
But even so, what should come soon came. In the second half of the night, Lin Haoming stayed for the first half of the night. When it was his turn to rest, the sound of horse hooves woke up all the sleeping people. When everyone picked up their weapons, more than 30 warriors riding war horses had surrounded the convoy.
A war horse is different from an ordinary horse. A war horse that is very strong and young enough requires at least a hundred gold coins. The handicrafts in the convoy are only three such war horses, but now more than thirty war horses appear in front of everyone. This feeling is like a rich man robbing the change from a beggar's bowl, which makes everyone feel a little incredible.
At first, some people thought that the army was mobilizing to pass by, but after these warriors on the war horses took action directly at the command of the leader, no one had such a dream. No one wanted to protect them, because they were not opponents at all.
Facing such a scene, Lin Haoming found that Wang Xing had snatched a horse at the first time, and then ran away. He even ignored his employer, Boss Wang, and his brothers.
Lin Haoming also discovered that the leader who ordered ignored the others and took two people to chase after him, while the rest began to massacre the people in the convoy.
Lin Haoming had long felt something was wrong, so he hid in the night before the iron cavalry surrounded him, and at this time he chased directly towards the people chasing Wang Xing.
Lin Haoming's body has now completely burst out with the power of his body, and his speed is not inferior to those war horses at all. He can even catch up with him as long as he is willing. On the contrary, Li Xing snatched up an ordinary horse pulling a cart. After running not long, he was gradually caught up. But it seemed that he only needed to run so far, because next time he turned over and got off the horse and got into the woods on the side of the road.
In the dense forest, the war horses completely lost their function, but the chasing people were also very decisive and quickly abandoned the war horses and chased them into the woods.
Wang Xing ran very fast, but the people chasing behind, especially the leader, were faster. When Wang Xing was finally about to be caught up, he suddenly looked back and took out an iron box the size of a fist to the back, then seemed to press the mechanism above, and then countless steel needles shot out from it.
