When Hammerta and Fei Yun returned to Moktok, it was almost afternoon. They spent nearly half of the day at Modhafi Fortress, but they didn't even get a trace of good news. Because they could not obtain the protection of the patrol team, they could only walk on the road to Frederickstake alone, that is, walking alone in the isthmus of Modhafi...
"You mean that the patrol captain not only did not give any reason, but also refused after you took the benefits? Then he bombed you out?" Xu Fei sat next to Chen Kai, stroking a quill with spell ink in his hand. Drops of ink containing magic slowly outlined from the tip of the quill to the spell scroll paper along the tip of the quill. Although Xu Fei was talking in his mouth, it did not prevent him from copying the spell scroll. Of course, it would not only be the stage of graphic outline.
"Yes!" Hammerta answered directly without thinking, because it didn't require too much thinking, after all, this is the reality.
"Then we're going to have trouble! According to what you said, the patrol team here would be happy to help those merchants who have paid the benefits. Now the captain refused your request without even saying the reason. The most important thing is that the benefits we paid are twice as good as ordinary caravans!! He doesn't do such a deal, or he is a saint who is not greedy for money. Obviously, his past performance is not as good as this benchmark at all. Then there is only one reason left, someone or a group of people put pressure on him.
The target of these people is us. The most important thing is that these people will never be robbers, because robbers dare not put pressure on officers and soldiers, it will kill people." Xu Fei's words caused a stir in the hearts of Hanmota and Chen Kai. In fact, after thinking about it for a moment, they found that the reality was indeed the case. Then cold sweats suddenly oozed out of their foreheads. Because according to Xu Fei's statement, they were simply too dangerous. In fact, Chen Kai could even think of what kind of force was aimed at them with his butt.
In the Rohan Empire, there were basically no one else to offend the forces of the noble Senate. Therefore, this time, the captain of a fortress patrol team was so scared that he didn't dare to ask for money to help. The only forces that were the noble Senate, one of the three major forces of the Rohan Empire. Although Hammota moved out of the imperial party of Count Zhafu, he could only use Count Zhafu's name to a little bit. For the noble Senate, as long as it was not the emperor of the empire, there was no one to stop them from taking action against Chen Kai. As for whether the emperor of the Rohan Empire would have had a feud with one of the three major forces in the empire because of Chen Kai, he could not even think it would be possible with his toes.
"It's a big trouble now!" Both Chen Kai and Hanmota thought it was very difficult, but everyone knew that such news could never be passed on. If the mercenaries knew, it would probably be possible for the entire caravan to withdraw from this mission. Although Chen Kai gave a very high reward, no matter how high the reward was, he had to make a fortune. These mercenaries did not want to directly pay their lives because of greed for rewards, so they would receive not rewards but pensions.
But Chen Kai and the others had to tell the mercenaries in the end, because if they were not told, if the battle began, what would be waiting for them might be the defection of the mercenaries. Even Hammota believed that if the forces of the noble Senate really took action in the isthmus of the Great Mozafi, then Chen Kai and the others would probably be difficult to resist, even his final outcome would be death. So Hammota could imagine what expression would be like if other mercenaries knew the news, because even he had the urge to give up now.
"Wait! If it were the noble senate to take action, it would not have been waiting until now? You should know that we have passed many places controlled by the noble senate. Although we were carefully sneaking through, we would always leave traces. If the noble senate really wanted to take action, it would be impossible to wait until now!" Fei Yun suddenly spoke while everyone shrank his eyebrows, and his words directly opened up the haze in everyone's hearts, because the facts were as he said.
"Yes! Why didn't I expect that if the noble Senate had to take action, it would have taken action in Disgama. It was the territory of the Disgama family, one of the four elders of the noble Senate." Hammerta slapped his thigh and shouted. After Fei Yun said that, he immediately felt that the other party's words were right. But soon his face began to look ugly.
"Even if all the forces in the noble Senate were not working together, the captain of a fortress patrol team who could force the rat to throw a weapon was probably a great noble. We still can't afford to offend such a person!" Hanmota's words poured out a fact. In fact, even if the lord of a high-ranking aristocratic family was not attacked by Chen Kai and the others, they could not afford to offend Chen Kai and the others. Because the group of people had only more than a hundred people, the captain of the patrol team that the other party could force was definitely stronger than their strength. No matter how many mercenaries thought, they could not fight against the opponent's forces, so Hanmota's face became like bitter gourd.
"In fact, we still can't afford it! The fourth brother put your heavy crossbow that had been sealed for almost two months onto the carriage! Head, I need a little money to buy spell crystals. I think my gun stick should be used in the battle later!" Xu Fei mannequined the scroll paper in his hand into a ball. Just now, he accidentally called a spell symbol wrong, and the fourth-level scroll paper turned directly into a waste.
"Xiao Fei! You've wasted another five hundred gold coins!" Chen Kai felt very distressed when he saw the scrap scroll paper in Xu Fei's hand. If this scroll paper could be turned into a scroll, it would be a fourth-level spell scroll worth thousands. But the higher the spell scroll, the higher the price, the lower the success rate. In fact, it is a miracle that ten fourth-level scroll papers can succeed in three of them with Xu Fei's current spell level. As for the fifth-level scroll paper, he simply collected and did not use it, because according to his current spell level, he could not make fifth-level scrolls at all.
"Okay! Brother Shui, isn't it just five hundred gold coins! The scrolls I have accumulated are more than five hundred gold coins!" Xu Fei clapped his hands and then began to take out Chen Kai's wallet because his own wallet was empty. All the gold coins have become scroll materials and mana ink. Of course, now they have basically become magic scrolls in Xu Fei's scroll bag.
"Why don't you talk about the spell scroll papers that you were wasted by you! Stop paying, I only have this little money left. Even the private money of Yat Yi is inside. If you plan to let us drink the northwest wind in Frederick Stuck, use it up! You really give it all, leave some rent for me! Damn, bastard!!" Amid Chen Kai's angrily screams, Xu Fei and Fei Yun took Chen Kai's wallet and ran away. When Chen Kai's loud scolding came out, the two of them were already running out of sight.
"These two bastards! Fortunately, I also hid two white crystal coins, otherwise I really thought I was going to drink the northwest wind!!" After Xu Fei and Fei Yun ran away, Chen Kai carefully took out his only saved coins from his backpack. These two coins were already his last savings. In the hands of ordinary players, it is estimated that this game has not saved half of the money in the past year, but Chen Kai spent more than 100,000 yuan along the way. This is not the last thing that Xu Fei took away. As for whether Xu Fei would run away with the money, Chen Kai had basically never thought about this.
"Uncle Hammota! Just mention the things I just said to all the mercenaries! If you are willing to continue the mission, I will give each of them a commission of 5,000 gold coins when you arrive at Kazmodo. If you die in the mission, I will give you a pension of 50,000 gold coins!" After Chen Kai finished speaking, Hammota was stunned because it was a big expense. If you include the commission Chen Kai gave at the beginning, the total amount of gold coins invested by Chen Kai in this mission basically exceeded 600,000, but if you think about the amount of money Chen Kai earned after transporting more than 3 million goods to Hans Court, Hammota immediately understood. High investment also means high rewards, and cross-border trade, especially luxury goods trade, will always be the most abundant profit.
After nearly two days of preparation, Chen Kai and his group of more than 80 people left Moktok in the early morning. In fact, they had already come out of the city in the evening of the previous day, but did not go directly to the Great Mozafi Pass. Instead, they spent one night in the wilderness of Moktok. Because Hammerta told the mercenaries all the information, some of the mercenaries chose to leave with money. Of course, they must have received much less commission, because they ended the mission early and could only get one-third of the commission. However, the mercenaries recruited in Pezaros later, and the ones left were basically the old people who came all the way from Kamelas. In fact, these people were all stayed for Hammerta's sake. In their opinion, as long as Hammerta did not leave, it means that although the mission was dangerous, it would not be too fatal.
But the actual situation is that Hanmota himself didn't know that he could escape without any loss, but he swallowed it several times as soon as he said it to his mouth. Although he was not confident enough, after seeing Fei Yun's terrible heavy crossbow, he still felt that he had several chances of winning. Because he felt that such a heavy crossbow should be the most advanced heavy crossbow weapon in the Hansting Empire. Even in the capital of the Rohan Empire, he had never seen such an advanced heavy crossbow. It can be automatically assembled and attached with spells to strengthen the structure. It was completely half a day.
Alchemy into heavy crossbow structure. Although Fei Yun only said that the crossbow string of the heavy crossbow is only 500 kilograms at most, Hanmota felt that such a heavy crossbow could exert at least 800 kilograms of pulling force. Of course, he also knew that it would cause trouble if too much extreme pulling force was used. Even the crossbow arrows shot by the 500 kilograms of pulling force were not dared to take the crossbow head-on, unless it was a strong man at the weapon master level or the holy realm who dared to take the arrows shot from the heavy crossbow at a short distance.
The most important point is that heavy crossbows can not only shoot one or several crossbow arrows, but also a crossbow arrow cassette, especially Fei Yun's own modified crossbow arrow cassette, can shoot hundreds of arrows in an instant. When you think of the terrible dark cloud of crossbow arrows, if you purr the dark cloud of crossbow arrows, you probably only have a level seven or above who master the fighting flames to survive such a terrible rain of arrows. Of course, it is only in the case of sneak attacks. If it weren't for sneak attacks, it would probably become very effective as long as there was a guardian effect.
Even the sixth-level warriors can block it with their shields. But except for Chen Kai and Hanmota, few people in the mercenary team knew that such a peerless weapon was hidden in the carriage, let alone those enemies who were preparing to kill Chen Kai and the others halfway. As for the gun staff in Xu Fei's hand, Hanmota was extremely familiar, especially the terrifying arcane dissociation light generated by the gun staff with all their strength, which was a terrifying attack that even he could directly sweep into powder with one blow.
This is the most terrifying thing about the caster. Basically, after the spell level exceeds the sixth or seventh level, there will be extremely terrible instant killing ability for melee strong people below the holy level. Although such a high-level spell preparation takes a long time. Even only the caster at the high instructor level has the ability to cast spells quickly in fierce battles, for melee personnel below the holy level, as long as they are attacked by the sixth or seventh level spell, it is basically a word of death. Even if they are lucky and do not hit the key point, it is still a serious injury.
Although the dissociation technique released by Xu Fei with all his strength is similar, Hammerta can be sure that the power of the spell is definitely greater than that of ordinary sixth-level spells, which is basically equivalent to a seventh-level spell. Such a spell hits the target, as long as the enemy is not a holy level, there is definitely only one ending. However, Hammerta knows very well that although Xu Fei's weapon is powerful, it only has the ability to use it with one blow. If you sweep it off, it is basically impossible to use it again.
But even though he was prepared so well, Hammerta was still worried when he left Moktok. If he could have used some remote paths to confuse and even get rid of possible enemies by changing his journey, he would have no way to get rid of the enemy by changing his path, because there was only one way from Moktok to Frederick Stokes. No matter how they chose, they would have to go to the Isthmus of Modzafi in the end.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Kai and his convoy slowly passed by Mozafi Fortress. Standing on the city wall, the patrol captain Kabas Ah Lu looked at Chen Kai and his huge convoy and sighed, then turned around and said to the guards beside him.
"Tell everyone not to patrol the isthmus in the next two days. The patrol team can enter the isthmus in three days, and then say to the Marquis of Zafaro and Grand Duke Miranda, is this the only thing I, Kabas? Ah Lu, can do for them!" After that, the patrol captain sighed and walked back to the Fortress of Mozafi, and the guard passed the message to the messengers of the two great nobles who were staying in the Fortress of Mozafi.
Chen Kai and the others didn't know what happened in Mozafi Fortress. Because they passed through the periphery of the fortress from a distance from Mozafi Fortress, and then followed an auxiliary path to Mozafi isthmus. Of course, although they did not pass through the main castle of Mozafi Fortress, they passed through a auxiliary fortress. If not, how could the entire Mozafi isthmus be completely in the hands of Mochatok?
Entering the Isthmus of Mozafi from the auxiliary road, you will find that there are steep slopes of more than ten meters high on both sides of the surrounding area. These are ground ridges artificially created by the legendary master with magic spells from another world. In order to create such a huge ground deformation, more than a dozen legendary masters started to work together, and they also used a huge magic array covering hundreds of meters. This artificially created natural barrier is a matter of costing people and causing money, because the cost alone is as high as tens of millions of gold coins, but the effect is very good. Officially, due to the existence of this Mozafi highland, Hansting wanted to attack in
The Rohan Empire will have to spend a greater cost. As long as we guard a section of the Mozafi Pass, even if there are millions of troops, we will not be able to attack the heartland of the Rohan Empire. After all, the human army is not an undead, and we can climb straight steep slopes with bare hands. Under the shaping of spells, the rocks near the Frederick side are extremely strong, and even if a hammer hits it, it may not necessarily cause a sag. Such a straight and steep wall is basically difficult to climb, so it is difficult to walk from the high ground on both sides. The most important thing is that Chen Kai and the others cannot throw away the goods in their hands and climb up the high ground.
Therefore, Chen Kai and his friends could only walk slowly along the auxiliary road in the Mozafi isthmus. As they penetrated deeper and deeper, the terrain around the isthmus gradually became complicated, and the road became wide and flat. Such terrain was slowly opened up for the convenience of trade routes, so they could only allow two teams of carriages to pass through. If the two sides converged, one side had to give way in a wide place at the turn.
However, there is an area of more than ten kilometers in the isthmus. The surrounding mountains are steep but can be climbed, and the terrain is extremely complex. If it were not led by someone familiar with the road, they would probably get lost in this area, and this area is also the most dangerous place in the entire isthmus. All caravans know that there are the most robberies here. Some robbers will play the role of caravans entering, robbing the passing merchants, and then throwing the dead bodies into various underground cracks in the isthmus.
Before entering this area, Chen Kai and the others had already put their vigilance to the highest level, because no one knew which direction the attack would appear. In this state, the carriage was slowly in a state of slowness, and its speed continued to decline until it reached a state of nearly stoic speed.
