Before the bandits could attack, the Wind and Fire Guards had already charged forward. A spear and a saber stirred up a rain of blood wherever they went. Although there were many bandits, none of them were a match for them. All of a sudden, all the bandits were crying for their parents as they retreated.
When Parker saw this from behind, he shouted anxiously,""Don't kill them all, leave some for me!”
As he shouted, he ran forward with his short legs.
He had only run a few steps when Lu Yunrui caught up from behind and patted Parker on the shoulder.""Parker, stay here. Don't go any further!”
Parker rolled his eyes.”
"Stay here and block the road. Don't let the bandits escape!" Lu Yunrui said.”
"What about you?" Parker stopped and asked. Why didn't you stay here to block the passage, but you made me stay?”
"I'll go to the other side and block them as well!" Lu Yunrui smiled.”
After saying that, he jumped up, brushed the left side of the hill, and quickly ran to the other end of the road.
Lu Yunrui had brought two weapons with him this time. A halberd was placed in his storage ring, and a sword hung at his waist. At this moment, Lu Yunrui had already unsheathed his sword. He held the sheath in his left hand and the sword in his right hand as he sprinted toward the other end of the road. As for the bandits they met along the way, they would avoid them if they could, and if they could not avoid them, they would force their way through, not bothering with them at all. In just a pack of cigarettes, he reached the other end of the road and broke into the group of bandits blocking the road. At this moment, Lu Yunrui finally stopped in his tracks. He unfolded his sword stance and launched an attack on the bandits. In a very short period of time, he knocked down the dozen or so bandits that were left behind.
At the same time, Meng Te led a team of elves, under the protection of Water One and Little White (Lu Yunrui had already changed the name of the Dart, so the name of the Dart was replaced by Little White and no longer appeared), to the hill and occupied a favorable position. Immediately after, Goode led another group of elves away from the road and climbed to the top of the mountain, forming a faint encirclement of the bandits.
The bandit leader in the field realized that the situation was not right. He immediately stopped his attack on the merchant group and turned around to attack the mountain. However, the Water Guards and Water One held the hill, and the bandits suffered many casualties, but they were unable to take even half a step up the hill. In addition, the elves on the mountain had the geographical advantage. They looked down from above and their arrows did not miss, making it even more difficult for the bandits to advance.
The guards of the caravan did not attack after the bandits stopped attacking. They continued to hide behind the carriages and rained arrows at the bandits. Although they didn't shoot many arrows and their accuracy was poor, these attacks were undoubtedly adding insult to injury for the bandits.
After several failed clashes and losing a lot of men, the bandit leader gave up on attacking the hillside and attacked Lu Yunrui instead. He tried to take advantage of the large number of people to knock Lu Yunrui down and forcefully open a passage to escape from the disadvantageous situation of being surrounded.
Lu Yunrui did not panic when he saw the bandits rushing over. He only changed the weapon in his hand to the Heavenly Halberd.
When the bandits were five meters away from Lu Yunrui, Lu Yunrui had already brandished his Heavenly Halberd and swung it forward like a fan. The bandits who were charging at the front could not stop in time. They all crashed into the halberd's blade and waved their weapons randomly in a panic, trying to knock away the other party's weapon to prevent themselves from being hurt.
There was no sound of weapons clashing, and no one screamed. The criminals in the front row only felt a breeze pass by, and in an instant, they were beheaded and turned into dead people. Although he was dead, his body was still standing upright. It was not until he was knocked down by someone behind him that his broken body fell to the ground in two.
The bandits kept pouncing on him, but they were killed again and again. Soon, a mountain of corpses piled up in front of Lu Yunrui. No one could cross the lightning pool. At the same time, the elves on the hill, who had an advantageous position, kept shooting arrows at them, taking away their lives. The Wind and Fire Guards marched forward from the other end of the road, continuously harvesting lives and squeezing the bandits 'line. Water Guard and Water One also began to slowly press down from the hill.
At this moment, there were less than 120 bandits left. These people were all crowded together, and their faces were filled with fear. They no longer had the ruthless aura from before, and their eyes were filled with despair and fear when they looked at Lu Yunrui and the four guards. They had completely lost their will to fight.
Seeing that the bandits were no longer resisting, Lu Yunrui raised his Heavenly Halberd into the air and let out a long howl. The elves stopped their attacks as they whistled. They nocked their arrows and prepared to fire. On the other side of the road, the Wind and Fire Guards also stopped fighting. They only used their weapons to force the bandits to retreat.
Lu Yunrui took two steps forward and shouted,""Everyone, listen up. If you want to live, quickly throw away your weapons and surrender. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
When the bandits heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other with hesitation.
"Don't listen to him, he's lying to you." "If you listen to him and put down your weapons, you will definitely be slaughtered. No one will be able to live. At that time, it would be too late for regrets. He might as well go all out. Perhaps there would be a chance of survival!”
The bandits tightened their grip on their weapons.
Lu Yunrui snorted coldly." Hmph, if you want to die, then go ahead. But don't drag others down with you!" If you want to live, you can only believe in my words. This is the only way out! If you don't want to live, come forward. I definitely won't disappoint you!”
The bandits looked at each other and lost their minds. They didn't know who to listen to.
"I'll give you the time for an incense stick to burn," Lu Yunrui shouted. It's up to you to choose where you want to go. If you want to live, put down your weapons and squat down.”As he spoke, he pointed at the mountain wall on the right side of the road."If you don't want to live, go ahead and fight!”
With that, he pushed the halberd into the ground. Lu Yunrui held the halberd with his right hand and stood still.
As time passed, the bandits 'breathing became heavier.
Finally, one of the bandits couldn't hold on any longer. He threw away the weapon in his hand and struggled out of the crowd. He ran to the bottom of the mountain wall and squatted down.
If someone took the lead, someone else would naturally follow. More and more bandits threw away their weapons and ran to the bottom of the mountain wall. No matter how the bandit leader cursed, he could not stop them.
In just a short time, most of the bandits threw away their weapons and ran to the mountain wall to squat down. Only the bandit leader and two people who looked like leaders remained.
The danger was averted, and the guards of the caravan dispersed. The leader of the guards walked over with a few merchants.
"My friends, my name is Luca, the leader of the Silverstar Mercenary Group. Thank you for saving us. Otherwise, this caravan and I would have been doomed. No one would have survived.”The guard leader introduced himself.
Lu Yunrui smiled faintly." We were just passing by chance. We just happened to meet at the right time. There's nothing to thank us for. We can only say that you're blessed people. You're not fated to die!"”
Luca laughed." I haven't asked for your name. How rude!"”
"My surname is Lu and my name is Xiang. You can call me Mister Lu or Lu Yunrui."”
When a merchant heard this, he first looked at Lu Yunrui and then at the elf not far away. Suddenly, he shouted,"Mr. Lu, you're the Chosen One, right?”
The surrounding people, including the bandit leader, could not help but be shocked when they heard this. Their eyes stared at Lu Yunrui in unison.
Before Lu Yunrui could reply, Parker walked over.""That's right, Mister Lu is the Chosen One!”
When everyone heard this, they were first shocked, then overjoyed. They hurriedly knelt down and bowed. Even the bandits knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lu Yunrui.
"Everyone, please get up quickly! Don't do this!" Lu Yunrui hurriedly said.”
As he spoke, he helped Luca up. Everyone stood up. However, the bandit leader and the other two bandits were still kneeling on the ground, not daring to get up.
" Haha!" Luca laughed." I was wondering who was so brave. It turns out that the Chosen One has arrived." No wonder!"
Luca's voice was so loud that everyone on the road could hear him. The members of the Silverstar Mercenary Group who were rescuing their comrades and the merchants who stayed behind stopped what they were doing and looked in their direction. Some of the heavily injured people tried their best to raise their bodies and look at them. The bandits crouching at the foot of the mountain wall also broke into a commotion when they heard this.
Lu Yunrui patted Luca's shoulder and said with a slight reproach,""Why are you so loud? Don't you know that you're afraid of people?"
Luca chuckled and scratched his head.""His voice is too loud, I can't help it!"
Lu Yunrui turned around and asked the businessman who had seen through his identity,""How did you know it was me?"
"I didn't know who you were at first." But the sight of the elves and the two unicorns reminded me of what my brother had told me. He said that he had seen Mr. Lu in the elven castle, had a drink with Mr. Lu, and had seen you take a unicorn as a pet. That's why I guessed that you're the Chosen One.”
"Oh, your brother?" Lu Yunrui replied softly.”
"Yes, my brother's name is Li Yue. He's a merchant from Qin City. I'm Li Qiang, Li Yue's younger brother.”
"Oh, so it's Brother Li Qiang. Sorry for the disrespect!" Lu Yunrui said happily. My apologies! Although I only met your brother Li Yue once, I respect him very much. Your brother started from scratch, but his business is still booming. I can't help but admire him!”
Li Qiang nodded and said," That's right. My brother's knowledge is extraordinary. It's indeed not something ordinary people can compare with." My parents died early, and this family was supported by my brother. It was not easy for it to have its current situation. At home, the three of us brothers will listen to our elder brother's orders. No one dares to go against our elder brother's wishes!”
"So your brother is very powerful in the family?" Lu Yunrui smiled.”
"Of course!" said Li Qiang. As brothers, we have tried not to listen to Boss before, but in the end, we all suffered losses. Boss had to step forward to clean up the aftermath for us. After a while, no one dared to disobey their boss anymore. They were all filled with admiration for their boss's character and foresight!”
"There's a saying in my hometown: Brothers are united, and their sharp edge can cut through gold. I'm happy for you brothers to get along.”Then, he pointed in the direction of the caravan and asked,""In that case, this caravan belongs to your Qin City's Li family?”
Li Qiang said,"That's right, this caravan is indeed our Li Family's." "For a long time, my brother has always handed over the business with the dwarves to me.”
"Did you hire them?" Lu Yunrui pointed at Luca.”
Li Qiang nodded and shook his head." They are also from Qin City. They have always been cooperating with our Li family." Our Li family's business is usually done by them as guards. We rarely use others.”Speaking of this, Li Qiang sighed." Qin City is a bitter place. There are not many products in Qin. Many materials cannot be self-sufficient. They have to be transported from other places. Ever since their mercenary group was established, they had been short of funds and manpower. This time, they had lost many people. This was undoubtedly adding insult to injury for them!”
Lu Yunrui heard this and looked at Luca, only to see a layer of frost covering his face.
