I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 28 The Overlord forced his bow

Chris listened to Alibaba's preaching to the NPC in a daze, and he couldn't even remember when he returned to the tent.

Chris lay on the folding camp bed, looking at the top of the tent swaying in the wind. He was uneasy and didn't know how to fall asleep.

Something is not right. Is this an exception of a single player, or a collective consensus among all players?

Are they just starting to do this, or have they been planning it for a long time?

Thinking of this, Chris felt his scalp tingling and he couldn't sleep!
No, I've been playing this Kingdom Wars scenario for a long time and I'm a bit tired of it. Now that I've moved to a new world, why would I come back?
But how can I express to the players that I want to live a leisurely life?

Then, this leads to another problem... If you want to live a leisurely life, why summon players?

Because we have no money, we can’t live a leisurely life. We need to summon players to get money.

However, once players are summoned, there is no time to relax...

Oh my god, I seem to have done something really stupid!
After Chris thought things through, he wanted to slap himself twice.

However, it has come to this point, and it would be useless even if he smashed his face.

"Go to sleep. Now we can only take one step at a time..."

Chris comforted himself in this way, then covered his head with the quilt, closed his eyes, and pretended that what happened outside had never happened.

Covering your ears and stealing the bell is stupid, but it works temporarily.

After encountering such a thing, Chris became more careful on the rest of the journey and began to pay attention to the conversations between the players and other NPCs in the caravan.

Then, Chris realized that the situation was not good and was heading for the worst.

Whenever the ten players have free time, they will chat with the NPCs around them, talking about the future, food and clothing, and what Chris will do after returning to the Kingdom of Bagnia.

To sum up the players' behavior, it is to brag for him, paint a rosy picture for the caravan guys, win people's hearts, and want to form a team to follow Chris.

Generally speaking, no matter how good the players' eloquence is, they can at most fool some young men who have just reached adulthood, while the young and old hands who have been beaten by society will not fall for it.

However, the reputation and prestige Chris had accumulated from his previous medical practice were so good, and during this one and a half month long business trip, Isaac gave dividends to his colleagues every time he did business.

The money divided at one time was not much, but after a month and a half, as the small amounts accumulated, everyone was surprised to find that the profit of the merchants was more than their annual salary working in Neyama.

There is reputation and cash, so everyone believes the promises made by the players.

The most important thing is that as the big and small leaders of the merchant team, Isaac and Connie knew what was happening in the team. Not only did they not stop it, but they secretly fanned the flames.

As a result, the players were recruited very smoothly. Soon, after entering the border area of ​​the Bohemian Empire... the El Province, more than 50 people in the team unified their stance and determination.

Follow Prince Chris back to the Kingdom of Bagnia and help him complete his cause of restoring his country.

My goodness, when Chris learned about this, he stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"It's all over. This country...I can't be any more!"

……

At the same time, at the tail end of the convoy, Lin Ruoyu and several players huddled together as they walked, whispering to each other.

"How is the situation now?"

"Everyone in the team is determined to follow Chris. Our plan is a success!" "Excellent!"

Lin Ruoyu was very happy. This was another big step towards the success of his plan.

"By the way, have you asked the NPCs in the team what skills they have?"

"I figured it out."

Alibaba replied cheerfully.

"There are fifty NPCs in the convoy, including eight veterans. Isaac used to be a scout for the Bohemian Empire, an elite among the elite, and is now a smuggler. Those veterans are all his old subordinates, capable of firing rifles and fighting in hand-to-hand combat.

In addition, there were five carpenters in the team, two of whom were masters, three apprentices, and two blacksmiths who could make horseshoes and nails.

Besides, there are more than a dozen people in the team who can ride horses and can serve as temporary riders..."

“Puff…Bang…”

Before Alibaba finished his report, the distinctive sound of two shots from a flintlock rifle was heard in front of the convoy.

The convoy stopped immediately, and players such as Lin Ruoyu and Alibaba turned around and pulled out muskets and spears from the waterproof canvas on the carriage in front, and then they ran forward quickly.

Everyone in the team moved quickly. The coachmen jumped off the carriages, led the slow horses, and pulled the four-wheeled carriages off the dirt road. They parked them sideways on the open space on the side of the road, connecting the carriages end to end.

Ten four-wheeled carriages can just form a square formation.

The Isaac caravan was able to run for nearly two months without any casualties, all thanks to this convoy.

When the chariot formation was completed, flintlock rifles and matchlock rifles were taken out from the chariots and quickly distributed to the older members of the team.

The latter, led by Isaac, quickly lined up, with ten people lined up behind two carriages, forming two rows of simple volleys of shooting.

The other guys and players who didn't get muskets, more than 30 people, stood behind the carriage with spears and machetes, acting as walking melee soldiers.

Livestock such as slow horses and donkeys were driven to the center of the chariot formation for protection.

Everyone had a clear division of labor and worked in perfect harmony, and within just one minute, they were ready for battle.

As the core protection member of the convoy, Chris quickly hid behind a large rock in the traffic jam with his head in his hands.

Although Chris can fight, neither the players nor Isaac will let him participate in the battle... If he dies or gets injured, then there will be no point in everyone coming all the way here.

Instead of appearing on the battlefield, distracting others and asking them to use more manpower to protect you, causing trouble for everyone, it is better to hide from the beginning so that others can concentrate on fighting.

After hiding, Chris lay on the rock, stuck his head out and looked around, trying to see which direction the bandits came from.

The gunshot just now was a warning from the convoy's scouts. There are three levels of warnings, and direct shooting is the most serious one.

Not long after, a smuggler on horseback came back clattering down the dirt road ahead.

Behind him, there were five horsemen chasing after him.
