Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 1017 Danger Arrives
The first day was uneventful, with no troubles and no accidents.

It's just that the good times don't last long.

When the Dragon God Queen arrived with the leader of the caravan, Yang Yi stood on a huge rock, staring intently at the valley in the distance.

"Team leader, let's put our ugly words first." Yang Yi spoke the lingua franca of the Silicon Charm Alliance, which is also the lingua franca of this world, but Yang Yi's accent is obvious. "Although we promised to escort the caravan to the imperial capital, I also mentioned that I hope you can tell us the dangers you may encounter so that we can be prepared, because we don't want to lose our lives for this business. Here Before, I had always trusted you and believed that you had told me everything I knew. But now I realize that I was wrong. There are many dangers in the valley ahead, and you obviously knew it but didn’t tell me, so the rest You have to go on your own, I..."

"No, don't leave us behind."

Yang Yi smiled coldly, nodded towards Queen Dragon God, turned around and walked back.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything I know." The team leader was visibly panicked. "No matter what it is, as long as it can help you..."

"It's to help you."

"Yes, yes, to help us. As long as there is help, I will tell you everything."

Yang Yi nodded slightly, then stopped and turned to look at the team leader.

In fact, when the team leader proposed to let Yang Yi and the Queen of Dragon God follow them to the imperial capital, Yang Yi guessed that there must be danger ahead, otherwise the team leader would not spend one-fifth of the bonus to hire two bodyguards.However, Yang Yi didn't point out this point.It wasn't until he discovered the original energy fluctuations in the valley that Yang Yi contacted the Dragon God Queen and brought the team leader over, and that was the beginning of the scene.

"Why are you still standing there, tell me." The Dragon God Queen pushed the team leader.If it wasn't for Yang Yi standing by, she might have slapped the team leader.

"Actually... Actually, I don't know what is hidden in the valley."

"You do not know?"

"I swear, I really don't know, I only know that the caravan will not reach the imperial capital smoothly, because the things we transported are too important."

"You are not honest, do you think your life is big enough to pass through that valley alive?"

"No, of course not." The leader seemed aggrieved and a little hesitant, as if weighing the risk of telling the secret or entering the valley alone.

"If you don't want to say anything, I won't make it difficult for you." Yang Yi pressed his hand towards the Dragon God Queen and said, "It's just that the rest of the road is up to you. Of course, we also know each other once, so I I will give you a piece of advice, don’t enter that valley without a strong enough bodyguard, or you won’t even know how you died. As for whether or when you can find a strong bodyguard, it has nothing to do with me gone."

"Wait, please."

Yang Yi ignored the team leader, and the Queen of Dragon God smiled wryly and shook her head.

"We are transporting Ortegar's personal effects."

After the team leader said this, Yang Yi and the Dragon God Queen stopped.

"To be precise, it is a tribute to Emperor Ortega." The leader let out a sigh, and it seemed that after saying it, he felt a lot easier. "We must arrive at the imperial capital on time and offer the tribute, otherwise all the residents of Shuoyang City will be punished and even executed. This is not for ourselves, but for the millions of residents of Shuoyang City, so even if we know There is great danger ahead, and we cannot stop."

"Then, what does it have to do with us?" The Dragon God Empress asked lightly.

"If you can escort us to the imperial capital, you will be the benefactors of all the six-legged spiders in Shuoyang City and our saviors. From now on, as long as you arrive in Shuoyang City, you will be entertained, and no matter how much trouble you encounter, we will help you Help without hesitation.”

The Dragon God Empress sneered, she obviously had no interest in it.

"Since it's so important, why didn't you send someone to escort it?" Yang Yi turned around and asked the leader.

"Actually, we have no other way." The team leader sighed and said, "This time, Emperor Ortega asked for more tributes than before, and they were even rarer, but collecting these tributes cost the equivalent of the previous two time. By the time we prepare the tribute, there is not much time left. If we spend time recruiting personnel to escort the caravan, we will definitely not be able to reach the imperial capital in time."

"Could it be that you didn't prepare in advance?"

"We prepared as usual, it just wasn't enough."

Yang Yi frowned, and looked at the team leader incomprehensibly.

"The point is that it is too difficult to obtain these tributes, and we lost a lot of people, including the bodyguards who were supposed to escort the caravan."

"Is there only one caravan in Shuoyang City?"

"Of course not, but we are the only ones who can leave in time." The team leader gritted his teeth and said, "Besides, I am the only one who is willing to escort the tribute to the imperial capital, because I am the eldest son of the administrator of Shuoyang City, and all my relatives There. If we fail to send the tribute to the imperial capital in time, not only my father will be executed, but all my relatives, including myself, will be reduced to slavery."

The Dragon God Empress was slightly taken aback, showing a bitter expression.

"Because there was no time to recruit bodyguards and contact other caravans, we had no choice but to take the risk and decided to pretend to be an ordinary caravan, hoping to deceive the enemies along the way. At least before that, our method worked a lot little effect."

"Unfortunately, luck will eventually run out one day."

The team leader sighed and said: "Actually, we have long thought that good luck will not be with us forever, so after meeting you, I offered to hire you to escort us to the imperial capital. Anyway, you all A hunter with a super body."

"Super body?"

"You all have superpowers, stronger than us, and able to help us cope with the dangers we encounter along the way."

Yang Yi nodded slightly, and said, "Unfortunately, we are not omnipotent, and you should have told us earlier."

"Before that, we couldn't be sure of your identities, at least we couldn't fully believe that you weren't robbers who came here for those tributes, so..."

"It's just that it's not too late to tell us now." Yang Yi smiled lightly and said, "Since the lives and deaths of millions of Shuoyang City residents are at stake, and the conditions you offered are indeed very attractive, I decided to continue escorting them. You go to the imperial capital. Of course, there is a prerequisite."

"What?" The team leader seemed to see hope and asked immediately.

"Next, no matter what you encounter or what happens, including you, you must follow our orders, and you must not act without authorization. If you act recklessly, then any losses suffered have nothing to do with us, nor do I will take any responsibility for it.”

"This……"

"Of course, it's just a matter of safety."

The team leader nodded and said, "No problem, I will obey your orders, and I will tell my subordinates to obey your orders absolutely."

"When is the deadline for the tribute delivery?"

"Two days later."

Yang Yi frowned and said, "It's still a day's journey to reach the imperial capital, so we'll delay at most one day on the road."

"Only half a day." The team leader paused for a moment before saying, "Two days later in the morning, we have to send the tribute outside the palace to the personnel sent by Emperor Ortega. According to the situation in previous years, if we are late , even if it’s just a little late, that guy won’t accept it.”

Yang Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what the team leader meant.

"How sure are you?" The team leader was obviously worried about Yang Yi's strength. "If you feel that the danger in the valley ahead is too serious and you are not sure enough to pass through it, there is still time for us to divert. Even if you are nervous, it is better than..."

"Diverted?"

"It will take about a day longer to go around that valley. If we take fewer breaks, we may save half a day on the road."

"The premise is that there will be no other troubles."

The team leader sighed and didn't say much.

"Besides, do you trust us?" Yang Yi glanced at the team leader and said, "If you trust us, then do as I say. Of course, if you think I can't be trusted at all, then do as you think , but I can't guarantee whether I can reach the imperial capital in time."

"But……"

"Let's put it this way, the enemies ambushing in the valley ahead are very powerful and hidden. If we hadn't gone out to explore the way, we wouldn't have been able to find them in time. Don't you think those enemies came prepared? Otherwise, why hide Get up? If so, then they will ignore the possibility of you bypassing the valley? If I guess correctly, there is also danger on the way around the valley, and it is a greater danger. Even if it is only a small group of enemies, as long as they can drag Stay in the caravan and buy some time, the caravan will also be overtaken by the enemies in the valley. In addition, you must deliver the tribute to the imperial capital in time, as long as it is delayed for half a day, what if you avoid the enemy?"

The team leader sighed, and said, "The problem is, isn't it also a matter of death when we enter the valley?"

The Queen of the Dragon God froze for a moment, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Yang Yi.

"The danger does exist, but there is no choice. At least, those guys don't know the existence of the two of us, and they may be able to catch them off guard. As long as we can achieve a surprise effect, we can escort the caravan out of the valley. At that time, we will stay After the break, block the enemy and buy some time for you. No matter what, this is the only way for the caravan to reach the imperial capital in time."

"This……"

"Since we can find those enemies, we are confident enough." Yang Yi smiled lightly and said, "It's getting late, let's go back quickly."

The leader's emotions were very complicated, but he didn't say much, because he could only pin his hopes on Yang Yi.
