Six Ring Wizard

Chapter 91 Attacked
  Herage's coachman was temporarily hired from the caravan. He was a slave named Ed. He was a man of about thirty years old. He was relatively thin but had rich driving experience.

Herage was quite satisfied with his driving level and it was relatively smooth along the way.

Ed was a relatively silent man, always driving the carriage silently. He would not make a sound unless Herage called him.

He has a brand on his face, the mark of a slave.

Herage paid ten silver coins to the caravan and rented a car for Ed to drive for him for three months.

Of course, not a single copper from these ten silver coins would end up in Ed's pocket.

These slaves are just objects, and objects do not have their own property.

After the sky gradually darkened, the caravan also stopped moving forward.

Each carriage began to adjust its position, forming a fortification, and Herage's was no exception.

The people in the caravan started to light seven or eight fires, put pots on them and started cooking to provide food for everyone.

The entire caravan eats dry food at noon, and only hot food is available in the evening.

Herage also ate the food provided by the caravan, and his carriage and space ring were stocked with water and food.

These are all emergency. If something happens to the caravan, this food and water can sustain itself for a while.

Half an hour later, Herage received his dinner, bacon stewed with potatoes and half a smoked fish.

The food is considered good, and the food cooked by the caravan is also of high quality.

People like Herage who paid the money had the best food, while the adventurers had less food.

The food for slaves like Ed was even worse. What they ate was mixed with leftovers from the past few days. It was simply swill.

There are actually many nobles in the caravan. These nobles dislike the food of the caravan and often have too much leftover.

The caravan was very economical and did not waste any food. It collected all the leftover food and used it to feed the slaves.

After eating, Herage returned to the carriage and continued to study the knowledge stored in Deep Blue.

He has been reading some history of magic recently. There are still too few direct records about ancient magic, so he can only learn more about it from some historical records.

After the deep blue scan recorded the ancient magic tablet, content analysis could begin.

However, analysis requires consuming your own magic power. Now that you are traveling a long distance, you must maintain your own state at all times. Magic power must not be consumed in large quantities.

The analysis of the contents of the slate and the experimentation of the potion formula can only be started after arriving at the Kingdom of Doris.

The climate in Longji Highland is very harsh. The sun makes people's skin itchy during the day, and the temperature drops sharply at night.

Herague was covered with the quilt Lilian gave him, which was quite suitable for covering him in this weather.

Late at night, Herage closed his eyes and meditated. The seventh star was solidifying in his mind. He estimated that it would take about two months to complete the meditation.

After nightfall, the surroundings became particularly quiet.

There are no people living on Longji Highland for a long time, and there are very few animals. It is quiet at night.

The place where the caravan was located was very bright, and several bonfires were burning all night long. The night watchmen were warming themselves next to the fires to dispel the cold night.

Early the next morning, as soon as it got light, the caravan was getting ready to set off, and the surroundings became noisy.

They must seize the daylight time and leave the Dragon's Back Highlands as soon as possible.

It's September now, and winter snow may fall in the Longji Highlands at any time.

Snow usually begins to fall in October, but if there is abnormal weather, heavy snow may block the mountain in September, which is dangerous at that time. Fortunately, there are no such signs yet.

The caravan traveled safely in the Longji Highlands for twenty days, and everything went smoothly. In about five days, they would be able to leave this area.

In the thick white fog, the caravan moved forward slowly.

Since the traces on the road are very obvious, there is only this road in Longji Highland, so you don’t have to worry about the white fog blocking your sight and getting lost, just keep walking along the road.

Herage was lying in the carriage. He had closed his eyes to meditate, but suddenly he opened his eyes.

There was nothing unusual in Deep Blue's environmental detection, but Herrag heard some unusual sounds.

The caravan had been traveling on the Dragon's Back Highlands for so many days, and Herrag was already familiar with the sounds around him.

But this time, he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and there were quite a lot of them.

The caravan remained calm and continued to move forward as usual. Apparently they did not hear such unusual noises.

After a while, after the sound of horse hooves came closer, a voice suddenly came from the front: "Enemy attack!"

This is the voice of Karim. He is the leader of the Putis Adventure Group, that is, the adventure group where all members are fully armored.

He commands all the guards of this caravan, and all guards must obey his orders.

Of course, this is only theoretical. Adventurers are notoriously disobedient and like to act according to their own ideas.

Karim has a strength close to that of a great knight, and he may take that crucial step at any time.

It is said that he was born into a great nobleman, but he did not enjoy the blessings in his own territory and liked to go out and make troubles.

He is very kind to the people in his adventure group, and his treatment in all aspects is far better than that of ordinary adventurers. This can be seen from the full-body armor of all their members.

With money and strength, Karim's reputation has become more and more famous, and he often receives some big orders, such as this time escorting caravans.

Karim was the first among the caravan guards to hear the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

He made a prompt decision and directly judged that it was an enemy attack, and asked the convoy to start building defenses.

Karim divided the other adventurers into several teams, and each team was led by someone from its own adventure group.

After he issued the warning, the members of the adventure group immediately ordered their adventurers to line up the carriages one by one to guard against the direction of the sound of horse hooves.

The defensive formation was quickly set up, and the guards gathered next to the carriage, holding various weapons in their hands and staring closely ahead.

The old, weak, sick, disabled and nobles who were not capable of fighting were placed in the rear to avoid fighting.

Herage and Ed were right behind, finding a slope to lie down on. He still had a smoked fish in his mouth, chewing it slowly.

He was not planning to join the war, but he had spent money on it, even though it was Milo's money.

But after all, they are still considered consumers. How can a boss who has spent money go to the battlefield personally?

A few minutes later, although the white mist still blocked everyone's sight, everyone heard the intensive sound of horse hooves.

The sound of horse hooves rumbled on everyone's heart like the sound of war drums, and everyone's face looked unhappy.

The sound of horse hooves on such a large scale indicates that the opponent is probably an army.

Only the army can afford to assemble so many horses. In this place, there cannot be any bandits with such strong strength.
