C29 Encounter Robber
CHAPTER XXIX Raiding Bandits
On the main road, dust and sand were flying everywhere. A dozen riders were riding on top of the road.
"Stop!"
"Yu ~ ~"
"Hiss ~ ~"
Liu Jiang shouted. Everyone immediately stopped their mother's mount and started to whine.
"What is it? Another untactful bandit came out to block the way? " Mu Fan asked with a smile.
On the way, after exiting the Maple Tree Ridge, on the way to some small countries, Mu Fan and his men encountered bandits who were trying to rob them. However, among these bandits, not a single one was able to gather any battle qi, so every time these people appeared, Liu Jiang and the other guards would behead them in a few moves, and Mu Fan didn't even have a chance to make a move.
Unexpectedly, they had already entered the border of the Cold Moon Empire, and there were still bandits here.
Sure enough, after Mu Fan and the others stopped moving forward, a few figures appeared in the middle of the road and blocked their way. The leader of the men said, "Listen carefully, if you want to live, leave behind all your belongings. Otherwise, don't blame us for not showing mercy."
When Liu Jiang saw these few figures, a hint of seriousness flashed across the faces of Liu Jiang and the guards behind him. This was because Liu Jiang could tell from the momentum of these guards and the speed at which they came out that these guards were definitely valiant and could not be compared to the robbers from before.
"Heroes, we are officers and soldiers who have come out with Maple Tree Ridge. I hope that you will not make things difficult for us because of our great general." Liu Jiang cupped his hands politely.
Looking at Liu Jiang's performance, Mu Fan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. Previously, when they met those bandits, Liu Jiang had rushed up to kill the leader without any hesitation. After that, those bandits self-destructed.
The moment Mu Fan saw the serious expression on the guards' faces behind Liu Jiang, he immediately understood. Everyone realized that this time, the bandits were not that easy to deal with.
As long as you are strong, you can beat others up without any hesitation. However, if your strength is weaker than the other party's, then it's best to keep your tail between your legs and act like a human being.
And now, Mu Fan understood that his guards might not be able to beat the other party!
"Haha." What Maple Tree Ridge? We've never heard of it, haha. "
"We don't care who you are. I just want to ask you if you want money or if you want your life!" Hearing Liu Jiang's words, the robbers did not care and continued to threaten him.
Seeing the robber's behavior, Mu Fan was too shocked. The robbers robbed the soldiers, and they were even so arrogant.
"This." Liu Jiang hesitated. There were a total of ten robbers, but Liu Jiang could feel from their bodies that at least two of them were masters with condensed battle qi.
If it was a normal day, Liu Jiang could still lead his men and fight these robbers for 300 rounds. But now, his mission was to protect the young master, so everything should be targeted by Mu Fan's life.
After considering it for a long time, Liu Jiang still felt that it was better to avoid calamities by destroying his fortune. Thus, he suggested that he should give 500 gold coins to the bandits and let them go.
Although Mu Fan really wanted to participate in a real battle, he remembered his father's orders before going out. Thus, he agreed and took out five palm sized cloth bags from his bag and threw them to Liu Jiang.
"Are you done yet?" Have you decided whether you want money or your life? " The bandit leader impatiently said after seeing Mu Fan and the rest discussing it for a while.
"Hero, here are 500 gold coins. Please accept them. I hope that you don't hurt our relationship, so please let us pass?" Liu Jiang threw five gold coins to the leader of the robbers.
The bandit leader nodded his head in satisfaction. He used his hand to hold the bag of gold coins and tossed it to his men. He never opened a single bag.
"Hero, you can let us pass now, right?" Liu Jiang asked with a smile as he saw the other party keep the gold coins.
One had to know that there were rules for being a robber. If it was a normal situation, one would have to pay such a large amount of travel fees before he or she made a move. How would he or she be able to find such a worthwhile business?
Yu Rui should have let him go. Besides, the opponent's strength was almost the same as his. If they fought, both of them would definitely suffer.
However, the truth was out of everyone's expectations. The leader did not have any intention of giving way and instead coldly said: "Is there something wrong with your ears or is there something wrong with your brains? I'm talking about all your property, not just that! "
"You!" Liu Jiang was furious after hearing the other party's words. He looked at the other party as if he wanted to eat him up, but the other party didn't seem to care at all. He continued to stare at Mu Fan and the others with a provocative look.
"No need for that. What they want is not our money, but our lives!" Mu Fan said in a cold voice. The other party was very aggressive. They obviously wanted to kill all of them! Moreover, he recalled in his heart that the only one who would want his life in this Cold Moon Empire was likely that unruly princess.
"Haha." Hearing Mu Fan's words, the person opposite not only did not refute, but laughed loudly: "You're right! We don't want you before we want your life! Who told you to offend someone you shouldn't have? "
Hearing the bandit leader's words, Mu Fan confirmed the guess in his heart.
At this point, both sides knew that there was no turning back. They pulled out their weapons and released their battle qi.
Among the bandits on the other side, there were actually three people who had Dou Qi! One blue and two red, the one in the lead was emitting a faint blue light, the color was even darker than Liu Jiang's battle qi.
One was water attributed, three rounds, three stars, while the other two were fire attributed, three rounds, one star.
So the other side had three warriors who had condensed their combat power. No wonder they acted like they ate Mu Fan and his men to death!
On Mu Fan's side, only Mu Fan himself and the guard captain Liu Jiang had condensed their Dou Qi. Mu Fan was a water attributed three star, while Liu Jiang was an earth attributed three star, two star.
Although Liu Jiang could restrain his opponents in terms of their attributes and his water attacks weren't very strong, don't forget that this was the Cold Moon Empire, a country that focused on water and ice. If these robbers were really sent by Little Princess, then they would use one or two high level water attribute battle skills!
Besides, the head of the enemy robbers was a 3-star esper, one star higher than Liu Jiang!
Therefore, the situation on Mu Fan's side was not looking good.
"I'll deal with the leader. The two of you go catch that young master while the rest of you stop those small trash." The leader of the robbers ordered as he charged towards Mu Fan and the others!
