Chapter 177
When Loren left the carriage, the whole camp was in chaos—the caravan servants and workers of wail like ghosts and howl like wolves shiver coldly hiding behind the carriage, He even saw many people quietly praying to the Holy Cross, and there were a few people inside who were already peeing their pants.
The remaining dozen caravan bodyguards gathered and lined up, using shields to block the ghouls outside the camp, while the remaining few people kept shooting up with bows, arrows and crossbows. Monsters, let them not rush into the camp.
But these crossbow arrows can't cause much damage to the ghouls. The monster who fell to the ground grinned and pulled out the arrow, and rushed forward more fiercely, dragging a guard directly out of the queue. As everyone watched, screaming was torn to pieces by countless pairs of claws and fangs!
The bodyguards that have one's hair stand on end looked towards the deeper forest, and there are nearly a hundred ghouls wandering there. The eyes of stomach rumbling with hunger are staring at them, as if Staring at a piece of fragrant meat.
Obviously, they have never met such monsters at all, and they don’t know how to deal with them. They are completely frightened by the sights in front of them-they have not escaped until now, only that the employer gave it. The salary is indeed high enough.
"Hold on, these monsters don't get out of the forest!" A caravan guard standing in the center shouted loudly, as if he was emboldening himself with a sword and shield in his hand: "Keep shooting arrows and hurry them to the forest...Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! silhouette, the guard who almost jumped up just now was immediately angry: "What are you doing?! Just now a hapless guy died, and he rolled over to take his place!"
"Nothing, but you are This is the first time you have encountered this kind of monster, right?" Loren laughed calmly: "Then leave it to professionals to deal with them, what do you think?"
"Professionals?" The guard was stunned. God: "What are you talking about..."
Without waiting for him to finish, Loren dragged him aside. The surrounding ghoul immediately noticed a gap in the queue, and howled moving towards this direction!
Soldiers exclaiming on both sides gathered in the Imperial court to plug the gap, but time was too late. The black hair wizard under his hood cocked his mouth and threw the ignitor in his hand forward.
"bang!"
Splashing sparks instantly swallowed several ghouls, screaming and turning them into coke. Seizing the opportunity, Loren immediately rushed out of the bodyguards queue, pulled out the long sword, bit a bottle of ignitor, and poured it on his feet and on the sword.
Then the countdown... three, two, one, light it up!
The moment the howling ghouls rushed towards him from all directions, they lightly snapped their fingers with the "sorcerer" left hand, and the faint "Torino fire" instantly ignited the surrounding ignitor !
Fire and similar screams forced back the ghouls who pounced from the front. At the same time, one of the monsters passed the explosion and jumped off the top of the black hair wizard's head.
The long sword covered with pyrophoric agent turned around, a smooth slash from top to bottom, cut it into two in midair, and the friction blade was also ignited like flowing water The flames flowed on the sword.
Slowly raised the burning long sword, and ghoul, who was about to paste it, immediately put his claws back, moved towards Loren, gnawing his teeth constantly, but always hiding in his long sword. The place bounced back and forth.
At this step, the guard finally reacted and snatched torch from a guy: "Use this, those monsters are afraid of fire, and you can drive them away with this thing!"
The surrounding caravan bodyguards took the buddies and servants and handed over the butter torch, waved the flames in their hands and protected them with shields to move forward, while the bowmen who were hiding behind took them out with a little distress. Rockets, shoot at those ghouls who are alone.
Under the threat of the flames, the ghouls quickly fled into the forest, and the bodyguards did not intend to continue chasing-these monsters were just terrified, but the number was still caravan Several times, if the guards rushed to them, there would be no bones left to be eaten by these guards!
The caravan bodyguards that withdrew to the camp were finally relaxed, and even cheered fortunately. The look towards the black hair wizard also changed.
There are also a few well-informed bodyguards who know that Loren gets several times their commissions. Naturally, there are many people who are unconvinced. It is only because the employer is really generous and has to return to Eboden in a hurry. No one makes trouble.
Although somewhat misunderstood, they also understand why Loren can get so much commission. A few guards even wanted to come up and talk to Lotaire's wizard, and by the way, they took the opportunity to get a few "blow-up" bottles from him.
Loren didn’t have the time to take care of these bodyguards, squatting on the ground and fiddling with Ghoul’s bones-in Ancient Wood Town a long time ago, the wizard named Draco he met knew how To manipulate this monster, you only need to use an alchemy potion.
After checking it several times, the black hair wizard did not find anything from these corpses, and did not even feel any traces of void power. It did not seem to be controlled at all.
But this is also normal-if a wizard really wants to attack the caravan, these ghouls are impossible to escape, because they simply don't have the intelligence to understand the "victory transfer" tactic.
So are these monsters attracted by caravans?
Loren, squinting his eyes, looked at the carriage behind him. What is the "cargo" that can attract ghoul?
"I really trouble you, Lord Loren Torino!"
The sweaty leader of the caravan trot over while wiping sweat, with a friendly smile on his face: "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know how to deal with these monsters. There is no ghoul this thing on Eboden!"
"no effort at all, even more how I already took it Your commission, this kind of thing is as it should be by rights." Loren shook his head and stood up from the ground: "This is just a small suggestion. It is better to check the cargo of the caravan."
"Check the goods, why and why?"
"Because these ghouls should be attracted by certain'goods'-and the things that can attract them are only rotten flesh and Something that emits a foul smell."
"Rotten flesh and something that emits foul smell..." The sweaty caravan leader was stunned for a moment, and then his chubby body suddenly jumped up in place:" Holy Cross, damn it!" Before Loren could ask, the chubby gentleman rushed to a carriage at five times his usual speed, yelling to ask the guys next to him to help Open.
"What the hell is going on——?!"
The roar of the caravan leader and the stench from the carriage spread throughout the camp at the same time, a whole carriage The corpses of the bighorn deer were lying there, and they looked like they had been dead for several days.
This animal, like ghoul, is a characteristic of Lothar Duchy, and even more famous than the latter-although it is just an ordinary animal, it is very popular with foreign merchants. Horns and tendons are good materials for making crossbows, and the meat is also very delicious.
"There should have been four adult bighorn deer, alive!" The angry chief of Shangdu sprayed saliva at the boy next to him: "You tell me what happened to them?!"
"It, they...dead?"
"Nonsense, I asked how to die?!"
"I, we don't know , It should have been fine a few days ago, I don’t know why they suddenly stopped eating or drinking." The young man lost one's head out of fear and narrowed his neck: "I, I thought it was just...not very comfortable."
"Do you think? You "you think" not only caused me to lose four bighorn deer, but also almost killed us all!" The chubby caravan leader pushed him away fiercely "Wait, I'll fire you when I get back to Eboden, and don't expect to be hired by another caravan!"
Ignore the guys wail like ghosts and howl like wolves , The hysterical caravan leader walked aside, not even noticing Loren who walked behind him, and pointed his finger at another carriage: "What's in there?"
