Chapter Thirty-six Wind Thieves
Arthur's heart was beating rapidly.
Unexpectedly, behind that mysterious organization was the Church of Light, a giant that even the kingdoms could not afford to offend.
Arthur clenched his fists and was ready to fight back. He would never wait to die.
The square-faced Knight stared at Arthur's face for a while, then moved his eyes away, "Not this one, open all your boxes, I want to check."
Arthur felt relieved and secretly wiped away the sweat that had reached his sideburns with his sleeves.
"King Master, the car is filled with medicinal materials and fur. It is easy to get wet after unboxing. Do you see if it can be eased?" This time Racined turned his face hard, and he took out a small slap bag from his arms and prepared to hand it over.
As a caravan that has been walking on the road all year round, the smart caravan leader will carry two small pockets of money with him and put a variety of gold and silver coins in advance. When encountering a checked army or a bandit who blocks the road, sending the money out in advance according to the opponent's weight can save a lot of trouble.
Unexpectedly, this time I encountered a nail.
The square-faced knight's face turned cold and one hand was placed on the hilt of the sword around his waist, "Do you want to bribe the knights of God? The referee is prepared for you, the merchants who are obsessed with greed!"
Racined was so scared that he knelt down, "I dare not, I dare not! Open it, open all the boxes!"
Arthur, who was standing by, looked at everything in front of him in surprise. The boy didn't understand why the referee in the Cavaliers' mouth scared Racined like this.
The square-faced knight sat on the horse's back without moving. Five or six knights came down behind him, and opened all the boxes that could hide from the caravan.
After confirming that the caravan did not have any hidden personnel, he didn't even say hello and turned over and galloped away.
The caravans had to reload the goods that were chaotic by the knights of the church. While packing up, they kept shaking their heads, but they did not dare to complain, because being heard was a serious sin that insulted the gods.
"Who are these?" Arthur asked Hasger beside him.
"Did you notice the red flame pattern on their cloak? It means they come from the Inquisition and are the church's punishment knights." Hasger deliberately lowered his voice, afraid that others would hear it.
“Are there any other knights in the church?”
Hasger finally had the opportunity to show his knowledge, and deliberately raised his face and said, "Don't you know these common sense? The church has three major knights, namely the Punishment Knights affiliated to the Inquisition, the Knights of Light belonging to the Cardinals and the Guardian Knights affiliated to the Garrison."
"I found you seemed to be afraid of those knights just now?"
Hasger glanced at Arthur fiercely, "Don't you know their terribleness? The Inquisition has the power to search, interrogate and judge heresy in the region. The heresy they identified cannot even save the king! The Knights Punishment Order is equivalent to the minions of the Inquisition, and of course the most terrifying guy."
"Whose minions do you say those knights are? I didn't hear it clearly." Arthur deliberately raised his voice, which attracted the attention of others.
"You bastard hurt me!" Hasger rushed over with gritted teeth.
Arthur ran away with a wicked smile. Hasger wanted to chase him, but Norris stopped him, "Come here to help, we'll leave here now."
It is definitely not a good thing for the Punishment Knight to appear nearby. If they are considered to have any involvement with heresy, they can't even wash it off, so the caravan immediately packs up his things and goes on a hurry.
The so-called blessings are unparalleled and misfortunes never come in singularly, which may be destined to be inconsistent. The caravan did not walk more than ten miles away, and there was another chaotic sound of horse hooves behind it.
"It's not that the punishment knights are back, right?" Arthur was also deliberately scared Hasger.
"No, it's the Wind Thief!" Norris's face changed suddenly.
The Wind Thieves do not specifically refer to a certain group of thieves, but to collectively refer to those who have no fixed strongholds and gangs and robberies. These thieves do not have much strength, at least a dozen people form gangs, and at most hundreds of people form gangs. There are dozens of wind thieves of all sizes in the Isaac Kingdom.
The caravan carrying a caravan full of cargo cannot escape. Several mercenaries could only protect the caravan and parked aside, making a desperate move at any time.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty horned horns rushed to the front. The thieves waved their weapons and shouted and surrounded the caravan.
Unlike the punishment knights with tall and majestic wildebeests, these thieves with different clothes ride a horned wings with a circle of smaller sizes. Although they are short, these monsters are more suitable for running on mountain roads, coming and going like the wind. Once they escape to the mountain, wildebeests will definitely not be able to catch up with them, so they have become the first choice for most mounts of thieves.
"Thank you all brothers. I am Norris of the Goshawk Mercenary Group in Huaores City. They are all making a living. The leaders will do it for convenience." Norris bowed to the bandits around him, and at the same time gave Racined a wink.
Racined understood it and took out his previous small pocket again and threw it at the tall and thin bandit leader in the lead.
The bandit leader had a pair of gloomy eyes. He weighed the weight of his wallet and squeezed out a satisfied smile.
He clasped his fists slightly at Norris, saying that he had a bow, "You can leave now."
The caravan paid for the road and a crisis was resolved like this.
The rule-abiding thieves will not loot the caravans, because this is equivalent to fishing out of the pond. As long as you do a few tickets, the caravans will be rarely arrived, and it is easy to cause the caravans to be wiped out by the caravans and mercenaries.
Therefore, as long as the bandit gang is not too much, the mercenary gang is not willing to fight them really hard.
Mercenary gangs and bandit gangs are actually interdependent, and both sides take their needs. If the bandit gangs are gone, the caravan will not spend a considerable commission to hire mercenaries to escort them.
Just when everyone in the caravan thought the crisis had passed, the bandit leader suddenly noticed Arthur in the crowd with his sinister eyes.
"Wait a minute, you can leave, but that boy has to stay."
"What do you mean?" Norris, who had already inserted the knife back, placed his hand on the hilt again.
"It's not interesting. I just want to invite this kid to our copycat as a guest for a few days, and we will send him back in a few days." The bandit leader replied in a coping manner.
"This leader, I think you have recognized the wrong person. This boy is the child of an old friend of mine. The team of Lords of Punishment Knights had searched just now. If the money just now was not enough, I still have some here." Racined said and took out another bag of money.
The bandit leader sneered: "I don't know who those mad dogs in the church are looking for. The thiefs of hundreds of miles have received a generous reward task, looking for a black-haired boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. If we find the wrong person, people will naturally put them back for you."
Norris pulled out the knife and said sternly: "You will never let you take it away! If you want to unite with our goshawk mercenaries, come on!"
Unlike the power of no resistance in front of the punishment knight, the bandit's request has already involved the honor of mercenaries. If the bandits take the young man away from the caravan, it is the mercenary's protection, so even if they fight to the death, Norris cannot give in.
