New Gods of North America.

Chapter 372 Response
Compared to the previous two groups, the people sent by the other party this time seemed to be more powerful.

Otherwise, three kittens wouldn't have dared to intercept a team of four carriages.

Wayne's side is not considered the "all-star lineup" of the detective agency.
Inesa and Damon MacCready, whose image influences the cityscape, guard the base and take care of Emma, Seth and the captives. Lina also brings Connor and an agent to take turns to stake out the target to prevent the other party from escaping and to screen the subsequent duel targets.

They have fewer people on both sides, so there is no need to consider keeping prisoners. Just preserve your strength or bring back extraordinary materials.
Now that the main force is on Wayne's side, we should arrest as many as possible. It would be best to send all the enemies to the gallows one by one and then collect the extraordinary materials.
The trial process is quite cumbersome, but in addition to preventing the other party from splashing blood on your face, more importantly, it allows more people to "see" it.

If it really doesn't work, you can only try to "run back" or "take it back".

The agents who had participated in the Georgia trip before now seemed to be more capable in their responses;

Without Wayne's command, they saw three men riding horses side by side blocking the road from afar, and the carriages quietly and automatically changed their formation, shrinking the distance between them and roughly forming a "earth" shape.
Leading the way was the carriage in which Wayne sat, and sandwiched in the middle was the one carrying the cash, Willy, and Chef Parker.

However, leaving the main force to Lina does have some side effects.
After Sanders finished directing the initial response, he knocked on the partition of the carriage and reported the situation from the coachman's seat outside:
"Boss, the other side isn't firing, should we stop first or just push forward?

"Now our left wing is 'Swamp', 'Whale Oil' and 'Airflow', the right wing is 'Shock', 'Chameleon' and 'Sharpen', and the belly is 'Judgment', 'Chef' and 'Strange Noise'.

"If we are going to cross paths, it might be safer to approach the enemy with the right wing to prevent a surprise attack."

Good guy,
All members have been given nicknames.

Wayne's previous efforts to get everyone to call each other by their names as much as possible were completely in vain.

It's not that I can't understand it.

In emergency situations, it is sometimes more intuitive to use the nickname of extraordinary ability. Just by hearing the name and on-the-spot arrangements, teammates can roughly foresee how they should cooperate next. It is simple and clear.

Okay, it's not a big deal.
Just be happy...

Wayne signaled the team to stay alert and to press forward at the current speed. As long as the other side showed any intention of attacking, we would ensure that the first shot went through.

But Wayne couldn't help but be curious, "The people with Parker are Willy and an agent, right? 'Strange noise' is easy to understand, but why is Willy 'trial'?"

Sanders answered while gesturing outside the car:
"Willy is one of the first three members of the detective agency, and we thought it would be better to make their nicknames sound a little different, so that they don't completely relate to their extraordinary abilities. For example, Mr. Doug is the 'butler.'"

Doug, who was sitting opposite Wayne in the car, seemed to have no idea that he would also be given a nickname.

But he didn't seem to be very resistant to this nickname.

On the contrary, he looks a little happy?

At this time, the distance between the two sides was within the effective range of the lever rifle.

Wayne took the bolt-action rifle in his hand, opened the simple line of vision, and observed the surrounding environment.
By the way, he continued to ask, "What are Inissa and Lina's own nicknames?"

Sanders also pulled out his weapon from under his seat outside, and it sounded like the gun was loaded:

"Originally, the partners didn't have nicknames. Miss Lina said Miss Inessa is Miss Inessa and doesn't need any other nicknames. Everyone thinks that Mr. Wayne should have a respectful title, so they chose between 'boss' and 'master'."

Well……

Wayne was a little speechless.

Sanders went on to add, "In the end, it was Miss Lina who made the choice. She said she had never seen you whip anyone, and she thought the 'Northerners' might prefer the 'boss' rather than the 'master' of the Southern aristocracy. Of course, if you wish, we can change back."

No need!
Thank you. As he got closer, Wayne soon noticed something strange on the road.
Signaling Sanders to inform the agents to prepare in advance, the team stopped suddenly fifty yards away from the enemy, and an exchange of fire might occur soon.

As soon as Wayne's leading carriage reached the designated location, Sanders decisively pulled the reins.

It was slightly different from usual. The carriages were basically three-wheel-drive now. The power was sufficient, but the brakes were a bit more troublesome.
Amid the neighing of the horses, a circular area about ten yards in diameter ahead of the road seemed to be suddenly bombarded.
It was as if an invisible giant iron ball suddenly fell from a great height. There was no loud noise or dust, but dents and cracks immediately appeared on the compacted road surface.

The edge of the affected area was within two yards of Wayne's two carriages.

The horses that stopped suddenly seemed to feel the power of the extraordinary force, and almost jumped up in fright after stopping.

Lying trough,

I originally thought it would be a sudden "swamp" or a "big net" that was pulled up in an instant, but I didn't expect it to be more terrifying than directly burying a high explosive.

"boom!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Almost at the same time as the unusual movement occurred, Wayne fired a shot through the aiming window specially dug out in the van, followed by a series of gunshots from the detective agency.

The leader of the three men on the opposite side was hit directly by a bullet.

But the opponent did not fall to the ground. Instead, it was like a balloon that was burst. With a "pop", the thick black fog quickly dispersed like an octopus spraying ink.

The black fog quickly spread, forming a "black fog area" with a diameter of at least ten yards. It then stopped spreading and remained "as thick as ink", completely swallowing up the light from the kerosene lamps hung on the horses of the other party.

Then the entire black fog began to drift towards the carriage team.

At this time, the straight-line distance between the two sides was about fifty yards. The detective agency had been on guard against attacks from the other side these days, and naturally had some preliminary response plans.

The carriages quickly turned around, and some agents climbed onto horses one after another. The "three-wheel drive carriage" that completed the U-turn gradually became a configuration of "one carriage and two riders".

The carriages tried to maintain their formation as much as possible as they retreated, while the riders rode their horses to the outside of the "black fog" and kept their distance to form an "encirclement".

The carriage Wayne was riding in was the most cumbersome at this time.

Only after the carriage turned to the side and stopped could the people in the carriage get out of the door and get on the horses.

Pick up the stuff and ride on the horse, then release the connecting ropes, and the box carriage will be temporarily abandoned. The advantage is that there will be three more riders.

The black fog approached within thirty yards.

The enemy's horses had all fallen or run away in the previous burst of shooting, but the human figures still seemed to be hiding in the gradually approaching black fog.

Wayne blew the whistle here, "Everyone, be safe and do your best!"

In response to Wayne,
The responses came from far and near, seemingly at the same time:

"Aye! Boss!"

How many other messed up things did Lina teach you...
