On the official road at the border between the Red Lion Kingdom and the Little Lion Kingdom, Liu Guanfeng, who was walking ahead, suddenly spotted three horse-drawn carriages. In front of the carriages, there were many people, numbering over two hundred. The ground was littered with corpses, and blood had stained the entire road.
Around the carriages, the sounds of clashing weapons could be heard, indicating that the battle was not yet over. Liu Guanfeng took a closer look and saw that beside one of the carriages stood seven or eight knights guarding a middle-aged man. This man appeared to be around forty years old and was dressed extravagantly, clearly coming from a wealthy family. Although he trembled in fear, there was a resilience visible in his brow.
He tightly gripped a precious sword in his hand, staring at the people surrounding them.
"I have no enmity with the heroes of Black Wolf Mountain. Why must you slaughter my merchant convoy today?" the elegantly dressed man spoke.
From among the crowd stepped forward a leader-like figure: "You must be Leo, the President of the Golden Lion Chamber."
"That’s me. May I ask why you are attacking my merchant convoy? If it’s a matter of pocket money for your brothers, the Golden Lion Chamber is willing to offer five thousand gold coins to spare my life and that of my men."
"To be honest, it doesn’t matter if I tell you. My name is Aurei, and I am the Third Leader of Black Wolf Mountain. We are here to destroy your Merchant Guild on someone else's orders."
"On someone else's orders? Is it Oliver from the Rain Lion Chamber of Commerce?"
The Third Leader laughed heartily: "Since you already know, then you can die without regrets. Brothers, attack!" After Aurei finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling his men to charge.
At that moment, one of the lads from Black Wolf Mountain noticed Liu Guanfeng's group. When he saw that there were goods loaded on the last two carriages, his eyes lit up as he rushed over to Aurei's side.
"Third Leader, look! Another convoy is coming from behind with about twenty or thirty people, and they have many valuable items on their carts."
Aurei turned to glance at Liu Guanfeng's convoy and then gestured to those beside him: "Leave half of the brothers here to deal with this Leo. Fool, take the others and intercept that convoy behind us. Kill all the men, and if there are any pretty women among them, bring them to me."
A scruffy-looking man approached, holding a steel rod in his hand. "Don't worry about the Third Leader. Brothers, follow me," he said. This lewd man, known as Fool, led nearly a hundred people toward Liu Guanfeng.
Liu Guanfeng thought to himself: It seems today's events won't end well. He turned to his senior brother, Qifeng Ge, and said, "Senior brother, you and your disciples wait here for a moment. I'll take care of them and be back."
"Let's go together. These people are bandits. If something happens to you, I won't know how to explain it to our master," Qifeng Ge replied.
Liu Guanfeng smiled and said, "You don't need to worry. You and your disciples are all precious to me. If anything happens to you, then I would be worried. Don't worry; these little lads are nothing to me."
From the beginning, Liu Guanfeng had received accurate information from Little Black. Aside from the unexpected Third Leader, the rest were Junior Knights and Apprentice Knights, most of whom didn't even have mounts. Those with mounts had only low-level ones; the best among them was the Third Leader, who rode a Fourth Rank wild dog.
When Fool rode his three-tiered Four-Horned Goat up to Liu Guanfeng's convoy, Bao Rui, Copper Bull, Iron Bull, and another person had already stood by Liu Guanfeng's side. At that moment, Five Boys lined up.
Song Haitao, Du Zhenyang, Dragon Ring, Long Huan, Jiao Yang, and their three disciples surrounded all the carts to protect Qifeng Ge and the two women, Li Xiaohan and Wang Jiao. Hearing noises outside, Wang Jiao and Li Xiaohan lifted the curtain of the cart.
Upon seeing Li Xiaohan and Wang Jiao's appearances, Fool immediately drooled and thought to himself: Today's luck is quite good; if I can capture these two back, Boss will surely reward me heavily.
Focusing himself, Fool said to Liu Guanfeng, "Smartly put down the goods on the cart and those two little girls behind you. You all better scram quickly; otherwise, you'll lose your lives. I'll take the goods and the little girls myself; you choose wisely."
Liu Guanfeng nodded. "I've made my choice."
"What did you choose?"
Liu Guanfeng sneered coldly: "I choose to kill you all. Brothers, charge with me."
Liu Guanfeng swung his Twin Halberds and charged straight into the group of bandits on Little Black. Hearing Liu Guanfeng's command, Bao Rui, Copper Bull, Iron Bull, and Dai also brandished their weapons and rushed in.
Liu Guanfeng headed directly towards the Fool. Upon seeing Liu Guanfeng's charge, the Fool truly became a fool; he never expected Liu Guanfeng to take such action. It wasn't that the Fool underestimated Liu Guanfeng; who would have thought that a teenager could charge headlong into such a large group of bandits without hesitation? This was something even seasoned Mercenaries would hesitate to do, yet a mere teenager accomplished it. This could only be attributed to Liu Guanfeng's remarkable skill and boldness.
As Liu Guanfeng reached the Fool, the latter was still caught off guard. With a swift motion, Liu Guanfeng struck down, and a head flew into the air before the Fool even realized what had happened.
Seeing the Fool fall, the remaining bandits lost their momentum. Coupled with the bravery of Liu Guanfeng and the Five Boys, within five minutes, half of the hundred bandits lay defeated. The remaining forty or so bandits scrambled to Aurei's side. One of them cried out in despair:
"Third Leader, it's bad! That group is too tough to handle. Captain Fool was killed in an instant!"
"What?" Aurei had not been paying attention to Liu Guanfeng's side at first because he had only seen a few youths accompanied by an old man and some others who looked more like blacksmiths than knights. Thus, he didn't think much of it; after all, his main target was still Leo, who was surrounded.
Upon hearing the report and turning around, he realized that less than half of his men had returned, and even Captain Fool had been killed. This infuriated Aurei.
Aurei turned his attention back and addressed his men: "Fox, you take your men to guard Leo while I go deal with those kids over there. The rest follow me." With that, he mounted his Four-Horned Goat and charged towards Liu Guanfeng.
At that moment, Liu Guanfeng had just finished off the last bandit who hadn't managed to escape when he looked up and saw Aurei charging towards him with over a hundred bandits in tow. Determined to fight, he instructed Little Black: "Brother, give them an electric net."
Little Black raised its head and spat out a small blue ball that flew towards Aurei and his bandits. Aurei smirked upon seeing the slow-moving ball; dodging it would be too easy. Just as he prepared to evade it, the blue ball suddenly exploded into a large blue net that ensnared all the bandits within.
Aurei immediately felt a jolt of paralysis run through him and thought to himself, "Not good."
When he looked back at Liu Guanfeng, he saw him charging on his black mount. Aurei felt a chill in his throat before everything went dark. Meanwhile, his Four-Horned Goat attempted to avenge its master but was swiftly bitten down by Little Black.
Bao Rui, Copper Bull, Iron Bull, and Dai seized this opportunity and rushed into the crowd to begin their one-sided slaughter. Since all the bandits were paralyzed from the electric shock, they couldn't muster any strength to fight back; they could only watch helplessly as they were killed while their mounts also fell beneath the Five Boys' onslaught.
This time, the number of people who came was much greater than the first time when Fool brought his men, but they used less than half the time. After about a minute, all of the more than a hundred bandits remained on the official road.
In the distance, the guard Rio Fox saw Leo being killed in an instant and immediately lost focus. He said to the bandit next to him, "Third Leader is dead. We need to hurry back and report to Boss. Let's go!" After shouting, he led his men up the mountain.
Liu Guanfeng and the Five Boys had already finished off the remaining bandits. Bao Rui, Copper Bull, Iron Bull, and Dai chased after the fleeing bandits heading up the mountain. At this moment, Qifeng Ge also brought the people behind him over. Everyone stood silently, staring blankly at Liu Guanfeng, who was sitting on Little Black with a somewhat grim expression.
After all, he was not someone who frequently killed people, and today he had just taken the lives of seventy or eighty individuals. Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground made Liu Guanfeng's stomach churn. He forcefully suppressed the urge to vomit. Fortunately, everyone else was too shocked by their actions to disturb him.
After a while, Bao Rui, Copper Bull, and Iron Bull returned on Mounts. Upon seeing the corpses everywhere, Bao Rui and Copper Bull immediately bent over and began to vomit. Seeing them vomit made Liu Guanfeng's stomach churn violently again, and he almost threw up as well but managed to hold it back. Iron Bull glanced at Copper Bull and said:
"Brother, why are you throwing up?"
Copper Bull looked at his younger brother: "Don't you feel anything seeing all these corpses?"
Iron Bull shook his head: "What feeling? It looks like red tomato juice."
Hearing Iron Bull's words, Liu Guanfeng could no longer hold it in and leaned over Little Black to vomit continuously. He felt as if he was about to bring up bile before finally stopping.
Dai looked at Liu Guanfeng with confusion; he didn't understand what was so nauseating about it.
Bao Rui and Copper Bull had already vomited quite a bit, but when they saw Liu Guanfeng start to throw up, they couldn't help but begin again.
The three boys continued to vomit for over ten minutes before slowly stopping. At this point, Leo arrived beside Liu Guanfeng with only five remaining guards accompanying him. He bowed and said:
"Thank you for saving me, hero. The Golden Lion Chamber is immensely grateful."
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng couldn't find the words to say and simply waved his hand at Leo. Seeing Liu Guanfeng's expression, Qifeng Ge shook his head and approached Leo.
"Actually, it's nothing much. We were just passing by."
"Up ahead is the Capital City of the Little Lion Kingdom, Stone Lion City. My Merchant Guild headquarters is located there. I wonder if you would honor me with your presence for a night. We also want to express our gratitude for saving our lives."
Qifeng Ge glanced awkwardly at Liu Guanfeng, who slightly nodded in response. Qifeng Ge then turned to Leo and said, "Alright, we will take you up on that offer."
Leo smiled happily upon hearing this: "Not a bother at all; it's the least I can do."
After arranging a few things, Leo mounted his Azure Dragon Steed and rode alongside Qifeng Ge to lead the way. The remaining five guards followed: two stayed behind Leo while the other three climbed onto the carriage to act as drivers.
Just as Liu Guanfeng was about to follow Qifeng Ge, he heard Little Black's voice in his mind:
"Xiaofeng, there's a small wolf in the bushes. It should be that little leader called Fox from earlier."
Due to Liu Guanfeng's earlier sickness, he hadn't been aware of his surroundings. After Little Black's reminder, he opened his senses again and found the fox hiding in the grass. However, he had already lost all his strength from vomiting, so he turned his gaze toward Dai.
Dai gently approached Liu Guanfeng: "There's a person in the bushes to the right. Capture him, but remember I want him alive." Dai nodded and slowly moved toward the location of the fox.
