Chapter 178 The Tax Collector in the Snowstorm

After a day of advance, Wu encountered a caravan ahead. TTT night. After Xiang Shaoke explained this issue, the cavalry captain began camping not far from the caravan. The wind and snow did not weaken due to the arrival of night, but became even more violent.

Looking at the cavalry busy building tents, Shaoko refused their proposal to build tents for him, "I can do it on this carriage. It's so convenient." After saying that, he took some magic powder made from high-quality materials and arranged some warning arrays around the carriage according to the previous method.

After all these, some merchants in the caravans brought some food to Shaoko and their army, hoping that the team could protect them in the future, and they would pay enough money to thank Shaoko and their help. But the cavalry captain quickly rejected the proposals of the merchants, because they were not mercenaries, but soldiers of the empire, and soldiers on duty.

After eating some dry food, Shaoke leaned on his pillow and then looked through some books of magic language. Because many of his magical release techniques now require different magic languages ​​to chant, which put a lot of pressure on him.

As dawn was about to begin, Shaoko woke up from meditation. He took out the spells recorded in the book of spells that were read and memorized, and kept speaking the languages ​​in the spells to speed up his chanting of spells. After Shaoko had just finished chanting a spell in Eze language, a violent sound of horse hooves came from afar.

The quiet camp soon became riot because of the sudden guests. After Shaoke released his maximum mental power, he quickly detected the general situation of the team and told the cavalry captain who was guarding him about this situation. "There are about a thousand people, not wearing armor. They are not soldiers, and they do not have any clothing or signs to prove their identity. I saw their bloodthirsty eyes, and a black-bottomed red flag was erected." Shaoke calmly told the captain about his discovery, and climbed onto the board in front of the carriage, and began to prepare for the battle.

After hearing the results of Shaoko's detection, the cavalry captain looked ugly and could not hide it in time in front of the mage. He shouted loudly: "Prepare for battle, they are robbers, a group of robbers with mounts." After that, he jumped on his horse first and dispatched several cavalry guards to prevent the mage from being hurt.

"The smell of blood." Feeling the increasingly rapid sound of horse hooves and the howling cold wind mixed with large snowflakes, Shaoke suddenly whispered his current feelings. The captain who was about to leave to command the cavalry to participate in the battle was very sensitive to Shaoke's murmur. This made him affirm the chief's words again. "The mage you escort is said to be a mage who has just left the Death Mage Group. I heard that the mages there are quite strange, so don't mess with each other on the way."

He shook his head suddenly to dispel the commander's kind warning. The cavalry captain pulled out the sword at his waist, took a short spear placed on the horse's back, and injected enough fighting spirit into it to prepare for the battle.

The caravan on the side was preparing for the battle frantically. According to their experience, if they encountered a robber team in this situation, they would not leave a life for the caravan. They could only satisfy their attack this time. Although there were some warriors in the caravan, they could not accurately confirm the number of the cavalry team. Now they just hoped that the cavalry was not a robber.

Shaoke released his mental power and quickly locked some of the front-line soldiers in the robber team, the Elemental Hand. This spell was quickly prepared by him. His palms of three or five meters were whistling on the robbers who could not dodge. After a violent explosion, the robber soldiers locked by Shaoke only left some minced meat to prove that they had existed.

After the mage's attack appeared, the cavalry captain issued an order to attack without hesitation. ** Ten cavalrymen with fighting spirits rushed forward to the robber team. After reaching a certain distance, with rich experience, they suddenly threw the short spear in their hands out. They quickly turned around and avoided the impact of the opponent's large team to prevent them from being dispersed.

Dozens of short spears injected with fighting spirit easily tore the snowflakes blocking their view. When the robbers found that another wave of attacks arrived, they hurriedly turned their bodies and mounts, hoping to avoid this attack. Unfortunately, the more crowded team could not change their direction in time under this situation. Dozens of robbers were hit by the short spears and lost their master's control of the horses. They soon caused some trouble to the robbers and cavalry behind them. This made their team slower.

Shaoko's attack did not stop at all. He quickly released his huge palms one by one. He slapped at the robbers' warriors. He advanced quickly so that these warriors could not avoid them at all. Therefore, they could only burst out fighting spirit to resist the mage's attack. Unfortunately, they had no ability to resist the three with low rank.

As a result, they were treated the same as their first few companions

Although the spell attack of Shaokodi is very powerful, the robber cavalry did not panic because of the attack of the mage. Instead, under the command of the leader, they quickly changed their formation and continued to run towards Shaoko and the others.

As the distance was closer, the robbers also began to attack. Nearly a hundred strong bows shot out arrows and flew quickly towards the location of Shaoko and the caravan. Some of the robbers split out from the team and besieged the team of ten people.

Faced with the whistling arrow, Shaoke quickly activated all the protective spells on his body and prepared his spells again. Cut the ripple, and the black ripple several meters long quickly attacked the bandits closer and closer under the cover of the night. The bandits did not discover this spell, but only saw some companions split into two parts inexplicably, and became panicked. Some bandits even turned their mounts quickly and tried to escape despite the command of the leader, but his stupid choice quickly brought him a heavy price.

The robber cavalry behind hit his mount heavily and knocked him down. The robber cavalry who was planning to escape was soon trampled into a ball of meat by the mounts of his former companions. Of course, Shaoko did not pay attention to all this. He just couldn't suppress his excitement and hunted the robbers frantically.

After the opponent attacked, the caravan quickly prepared bows and arrows to deal with them, but the bows and arrows of these merchants were not consistent and were not very powerful, so the robbers were not harmed.

The simple camp formed by the solid carriage was soon collided with robbers. The mercenaries and guards hired by the merchants were fighting frantically with weapons. No one had the idea of ​​escape, because they knew that in this case, if they fled after failure, they would definitely be hunted by these robbers one by one.

The cavalry captain rushed back in time with the team and threw a short spear again to intercept the robbers who were hitting their direction. Shaoko suddenly climbed up the top of the carriage, releasing a few spells of range to attack the robbers again and again. The cavalry surrounded Shaoko in the center, held a sword injected with fighting spirit to kill the robbers who rushed in front of him, and used a small shield to block the opponent's crazy attack.

The war did not last long. Under Shaoko's rapid spell-casting attack, black vortexes appeared inadvertently where the bandits gathered the most, crazily tore their bodies without fighting spirit. Black ripples passed by, and the attacking bandits became two inexplicably, either struggling and howling on the ground, or being stepped into flesh by their companions.

Under the order of the cavalry captain, only more than twenty cavalrymen protected Shaoko, and the remaining cavalry waved their swords to slash at the robbers under his leadership. Although several robbers with fighting spirit occasionally came out to intercept them, they were soon hunted down in the face of the crazy attacks of the cavalry.

The robbers in the fight began to escape in scattered ways. After observing the situation on the battlefield, the robber leader did not care about the life and death of the other robbers. He quickly led a dozen robbers who had burst into fighting spirit and fled in the direction of the coming. After all, his life is the most important.

Without the constraints of the robber leader, the ordinary robbers fled even more. However, facing a large number of soldiers who had siege and siege, only a few robbers fled the battlefield. The rest put down their weapons under this crazy killing and knelt on the snow to wait for the victims to deal with them. After all, they had never encountered the attacks of nearly a hundred soldiers who had siege out of siege, not to mention that these soldiers were all fighting in the bloody fortress for many years!

Everything was over, and the mounts that had lost their master were scattered on the battlefield, and some robbers who had not yet died couldn't help but scream.

The cavalry captain quickly checked the situation of the team and found that only a few cavalry suffered some minor injuries due to the sudden attack of the robber warriors, no other personnel were lost. Of course, if one cavalry's mount was cut by a double-edged axe that fell to the ground.

The merchants suffered a lot of losses. After all, they did not have many soldiers to defend the team. What's more, those soldiers only protected the merchants under the orders of their employers and did not participate in the full resistance to the attacks of robbers. The ordinary guards could not stop the impact of robbers at all, so the damage was very serious.
