"Are you confident in your own abilities, or are you trying to do something secretive?"

Luo Ya put down the telescope and thought about the possible results. According to his guess, the information Tolan obtained should have been deliberately leaked by Black Steel International in order to divert most people's attention. After all, the wilderness of Casimir was the place where the convoy was most likely to be robbed, so they needed to be extra careful.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the mercenaries, the main force of the armed convoy must act according to the original plan, but the vehicles escorting the goods will definitely take other routes. At this time, all possible routes need to be analyzed.

But no matter which route they took, they first had to consider the issue of merging with the main convoy. That is to say, including the time the main convoy was disturbed by mercenaries and bounty hunters, the process from their departure to their return would probably take half an hour longer than what was written in the plan.

"Mercenaries and bounty hunters are here for the money. They won't risk their lives if they can't see the cargo. Half an hour is the most suitable time, which is three and a half hours. And there is only one way to get from the base to the meeting point at the Casimir border within this time."

After sorting out his thoughts by talking to himself, Luo Ya waited for his prey to come to him. Although Xiao Ke didn't understand, he still accompanied him.

"I thought you were going to say you didn't want to be a bad guy."

Xiao Ke doesn't like bad guys, so she won't be a bad guy. Her worldview is very pure. If Luo Ya wasn't worried that some untouchable warlock on the cargo truck could run away if he couldn't defeat him, plus it would be an extra insurance, Luo Ya wouldn't want to bring Xiao Ke to do this job.

"Because Xiao Ke knows that Luo Ya is not a bad person and will not be a bad person."

Xiao Ke comfortably wagged her tail against Luoya's back and believed everything she saw. Luoya was not a bad person, she was sure of that.

"I don't know why I was a little touched when I heard you say that."

This was no joke. Xiao Ke's words really touched Luo Ya's heart. He couldn't tell why, but he didn't think too much about it. He just hoped that Tolan wouldn't die in the battle over there. If that was possible, he also wanted to know the clues about his past.

On the other side of the hill beside the avenue, Tolan was puzzled. He just took a look and did not see Roya among the hundreds of bounty hunters. This was not right. Could it be that Roya no longer cared about the information?

Before Tolan could think too much, someone had already seen the approaching convoy.

"coming."

"After I finish this, I won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life."

I don't know who said that, but everyone clenched their weapons tightly. A hundred bounty hunters and a team of mercenaries were facing a convoy of five armored vehicles and thirty people. Needless to say, they knew it was a big risk, but everyone had to live their lives with their heads on the belt. Who would do this job if they were afraid of death?

Tolan is not short of money, he just wants to determine what kind of research results can make a large Colombian company invest so much money.

However, after seeing the only four cars, Tolan was dumbfounded. He quickly realized that he had been tricked and guessed what Roya might be doing.

"coming."

When they saw the armored vehicle not far away again, Luo Ya grasped the black bow tightly and quickly hid behind the rock wall with Xiao Ke. This path here is a rare narrow passage with cliffs more than 40 meters high on both sides. The road is narrow and the armored vehicle can forget about turning after entering. If it were not for the fear of being separated from the team for too long and encountering other accidents, the vehicle would never have gone here.

Don't rush to act. Luo Ya recalled everything he had just observed. There were two fully automatic crossbows on the left and right, and an Originium cannon on the roof. The armor was so thick that even if he threw all his explosives, it would only make this big guy move a little.

But this was an ambush, and the initiative was in the hands of the ambushing party. Luo Ya quietly calculated the speed of the vehicle and the time it would take to reach the ambush point, and let the voice in his head count down.

Inside the armored vehicle at the other end, the six people responsible for escorting the cargo were on high alert. The narrow gap in front of them was an ideal ambush location. Although the probability of being ambushed was less than 5%, it was best to be cautious.

"Captain, do we need to stop and scout?"

"No need." The man called the captain looked at the communicator in his hand, "The captain's side was indeed attacked, the bastards from Thor Industries... Let's speed up. Even if there are hundreds of those scum in the wilderness, it won't be enough for the captain to deal with. Our mission is to reach the rendezvous point quickly. This road takes half an hour longer than the main road."

"Increase the sensitivity of the optical sensor. Open fire if there is any suspicious situation. Everyone, be ready for battle."

Just because that side was attacked doesn't mean this side is necessarily safe. The armored vehicle drove at high speed into the narrow cliff valley passage. Everyone's heart was in their throat, and then... after a while, they realized that nothing happened.

The narrow gap is indeed suitable for ambushes, but the narrow gap itself is not long. It takes less than two minutes to drive there. After passing this side, the view will be much wider and you will feel more secure.

But just when everyone was looking forward to driving over quickly, Luo Ya pressed the switch in his hand.

The sound of "BOOM" instantly reached everyone's ears. Before the members of the Black Steel Team could react, the road ahead was blocked by the collapse of huge rocks. The same was true for their retreat route behind them. Moreover, the huge rocks happened to trap them in the middle, leaving no room for movement at all.

The fully automatic crossbow and source stone cannon were activated instantly, but in this narrow space they could not exert their full power, and could not even aim at Roya who was overhead.

"The first step is successful, the next step is...hitting!"

Roya drew his bow and arrow and then let go. The dark arrow flew straight after them like a poisonous snake. Before the members of the Black Steel Team got out of the car, the optical camera of the Originium Cannon had been shot through by Roya's arrow at a tricky angle.

The designers of the armored vehicle would never have dreamed that someone could actually stand on top of the gun and launch an attack. The entire vehicle's armament could not fire vertically upwards, which was why Roya had to block the entire vehicle without bias.

If the obstacle in front of the vehicle is far away, you can use artillery to blast away the rocks blocking the way and continue moving forward. Firing at this distance is no different from suicide. Although Luo Ya can order the vehicle to stop, that requires him to be close enough. If he is too close, it will be dangerous because he is a shooter.

"That's quite professional. Now there's no way to use anesthesia."

Seeing the members of the Black Steel Team getting off the car, all wearing gas masks, Luo Ya put away the paralysis powder he had prepared.

"He's up there!" The warlock in the team noticed Roya and raised his hand. A fireball as big as his head flew towards him quickly, but this was what Roya was least afraid of.

"Vacuum." The fireball disappeared in front of Luo Ya as he finished speaking. He used his ability to create a small vacuum zone for himself, preventing the fireball from burning.

If there were two armored vehicles or a particularly troublesome warlock here, Luo Ya would turn around and drive away with Xiao Ke without any hesitation, but only one armored vehicle was a meal that was delivered to his doorstep.

The guards chose to switch their weapons to manual mode. Luo Ya's body could not withstand the penetrating power of the crossbow, so he threw the bow and arrow aside without hesitation.

"Xiao Ke, shoot down those two crossbows."

Seeing Luo Ya draw his sword and jump down, Xiao Ke picked up two spears without thinking and threw them at the armored vehicle.

The ordinary and even worn-out spear carried a deep blue energy the moment it left Xiao Ke's hand, which directly smashed the alloy crossbow into pieces and even shook the entire armored vehicle.

Just now I was thinking about how to attack Luo Ya's guards, but I didn't expect that he would jump down by himself and immediately raise his hand to attack.

"I reject!"

Luo Ya stretched out his hand to the left, and his whole body suddenly shifted a few meters to the right, avoiding the attacks of spells and crossbows. Then he sheathed his sword in the air and rushed straight towards the armored vehicle.

"Chi Xiao, draw your sword!"

This was the only thing in Luo Ya's memory that could be considered swordsmanship. He didn't know where he learned it from, but there was only one thing he was sure of, that was that this move was extremely powerful.

The crimson sword energy spread out the moment the sword was pulled out, violently shattering everything around it, including the rock wall.

The sound of the sword almost pierced everyone's eardrums. Xiao Ke couldn't help but cover her ears. When she stuck her head out, Luo Ya had already landed, and the members of the Black Steel Team all fell to the ground. The originally hard armored vehicle was directly cut in half by this move.

"Shh, it hurts! I sprained my ankle!"

Throwing the shattered sword aside, Luo Ya held his feet and couldn't help wailing. When he landed just now, he didn't expect this move to be so powerful that it bounced him back and hit the wall.

However, seeing that there were only a few people who fainted and not dead, Luo Ya felt relieved.

If it was just a simple murder and robbery, then he could have used the bow and arrow to shoot these people one by one. Even if they hid in the car and allowed Xiao Ke to deal with the armor outside, they had no grudge against him after all, and they were not bad people. They were all trying to make a living, so there was no need to make things difficult for each other.

"Forty meters high. I couldn't even think about being four meters tall before. Fortunately, my physical fitness has improved a lot after traveling through time."

Luo Ya moved his feet, then walked over to a few people and tied them up with ropes. These people were all knocked unconscious by the shock, so none of them had any external injuries, but they might suffer from tinnitus in the future.

"Roya, Xiao Ke is coming down!"

Hearing this voice, Luo Ya moved to the side without thinking, allowing Xiao Ke to fall freely to the ground.

A height of forty meters was no problem for Xiao Ke. She was just unhappy that Luo Ya didn't catch her. However, Luo Ya wanted to live a few more months. He only knew that his body's recovery speed could be exchanged for his remaining lifespan, but it was hard to say what would happen if he died directly.

"Let's go and see what could cause such a big fuss this time."

Since he was lucky this time, he should not miss the opportunity brought by good luck. Luo Ya thought that after making enough money from this order, Xiao Ke would probably have no worries about food and drink in the future, and he could just hand over the goods to Tolan.

But before that, he was also very curious about what kind of new experimental product could make so many people give it away and so many people rush to buy it. The money earned by Tolan, the middleman, alone could buy three guns.

Using the power of words to move the boulder away, they went to the trunk and opened the door. Both Luo Ya and Xiao Ke saw a huge thing that looked like a freezer.

"If it's not food, could it be a weapon?"

Food, weapons, and Roya, these three are the most important things for Xiaoke. When he saw that they were not edible, Xiaoke was somewhat unhappy.

"The experimental object could also be other precision instruments. Anyway, we'll know once we open it and take a look."

The storage cabinet was not locked. Luo Ya reached out and gently pushed it open, while his other hand tightly grasped the revolver at his waist to prevent any accidents.

However, after opening the cabinet and seeing what was inside, Luo Ya was completely confused. This was different from all the possibilities he had imagined.

"Meow?"

The young Filin shook his cat ears and looked curiously at the man in front of him and the particularly alert silly dog ​​girl beside him. His long white hair looked a little messy.

Xiao Ke stared at the film girl in front of her warily, and then she felt that Luo Ya beside her was angry. Luo Ya had not been so angry when she accidentally swallowed the shower gel before.

“This is… the so-called product?”

Luo Ya clenched his fists. He didn't have time to be surprised why the girl in front of him had a face similar to his dead sister. He just felt furious.

He suddenly wanted to punch the client behind Tolan and the head of the collapsed company in the face.

Chapter 19: Unable to Ignore

"It was set up."

Looking at the traces of the battle in front of him, the Black Steel International warlock in charge of the escort mission had no difficulty guessing what had happened and felt angry at his own carelessness.

There were only two of them. Judging from the deliberate ambush and the fact that they destroyed the Originium cannon and the fully automatic crossbow first, their strength might not be that strong, but they were definitely good at calculations and knew how to prevent the armored vehicle from unleashing its firepower.

Apart from anything else, the fact that they were able to predict this route and set up an ambush in advance is enough to prove the other party's ability.

"I'm so sorry, Captain. I'm sorry we screwed up."

The captain of the team attacked by Luo Ya lowered his head and did not dare to look at his boss. This escort mission was very important. If the client behind them knew about their failure, it would be good to be alive.

"It's not your fault. I was the one who asked you to take this path. As the person in charge, I have direct responsibility.

"Send a few people to disguise themselves and go around to see if there are any powerful mercenaries or bounty hunters. The goods must not be lost!"

What is more important than condemning subordinates is to retrieve the entrusted goods. This is different from any previous escort. The goods are too special and the responsibility cannot be shirked. They must be retrieved.

Judging from the fact that the other party had been lying in ambush and ready for action since early morning, they are probably mercenaries who have accepted the mission. If we can contact them, we can spend a little more money to exchange the goods back if possible. If not, we can just snatch them back. The goods are too special and even Black Steel International cannot afford to pay for them.

The key is that the cargo is extremely unstable and is likely to cause widespread damage. It must be recovered before a major accident occurs, or... it can only be destroyed in the literal sense.

However, the people of Black Steel did not know that not only did they want to find Roya, but Tolan also wanted to know where he was.

He was 90% sure that Luo Ya took Xiao Ke to rob the goods alone. However, after he inquired, he found out that Luo Ya had packed up everything and left the night before the operation and never came back.

"Could it be that this guy doesn't care about his past? But he wouldn't have lied about his secret investigation. What's going on? Could it be that he failed and was killed by someone? With his ability, that's impossible."

Many mercenaries and bounty hunters were killed or injured in the morning's battle, but the goods were robbed by Roya, which made Tolan, the middleman, very embarrassed.

But Luo Ya did not plan to return to Songqiu Town. After seeing that the cargo that everyone wanted to intercept was actually such a little girl, he realized that he could never go back.

"Roya, where are we going next?"

"Let's go to Minos. We have enough money anyway, and we can sell that equipment for a good price."

While driving, Luo Ya looked at the girl in a white dress sitting quietly in the back seat. She was obviously being kidnapped, but she didn't seem nervous at all. She just looked at Luo Ya curiously, and then watched the scenery outside the window flash by.

Luo Ya estimated that not only Black Steel International, but also Tolan and some mercenaries must want to find him and the girl behind him. In the eyes of most mercenaries, she is a walking cash cow.

Many people knew that he was going to Minos, but no one would have thought that he had packed up his things and prepared to run away before taking action. He did want to find Tolan to ask for clues about his life experience, but in fact he didn't care that much about his past in this world. Time was still counting down, and his lifespan was flowing clearly.

"Detour?"

"That's right. We won't go through Columbia, but Victoria. Even though it will be a little more chaotic, it won't be a problem for us to protect ourselves with our strength."

In addition to the Originium cannon and the little girl behind the armored vehicle, Luo Ya also found a lot of information about the girl behind it. After reading it, he realized that the girl was entrusted by the Melander Foundation to Black Steel International to deliver to an organization called Babel Tower.

Babel Tower and Melander, the relevant information of these two organizations popped into Roya's mind at that time. The former was a force loyal to the current Sarkaz Demon Lord Theresa during the Kazdel Civil War, and the latter was a secret agent force in Columbia. Even though he didn't know what was so special about this Filin girl, he was sure that he was in big trouble.

"We will probably be able to pass through the Casimir border area tonight. We have enough supplies, so there is no need to stay any longer."

Luo Ya didn't intend to give the guy behind him a chance to catch up with him. He would never leave himself in trouble in such a place. However, seeing that the girl behind him seemed a little uncomfortable, he also glanced at the sky.

"It's been almost seven hours. It's getting dark. Let's find a place to camp ahead."

Winter is about to come. Even a country like Victoria, which is located in the center of Terra, is inevitably getting colder and it gets dark earlier.

"Xiao Ke wants to eat barbecue!"

"You won't grow taller just by eating meat."

Watching the interaction between Luo Ya and Xiao Ke, the film girl in the back seat fell into a daze. She didn't remember who she was, nor did she know why she appeared in that box, but she vaguely felt that Luo Ya had a trait that attracted her.

That's why she didn't resist when Luoya picked her up at that time, because she didn't care.

Since the girl in the back seat looked very weak, Luo Ya quickly found a secluded forest to park and rest. While preparing dinner, he continued to read the document related to the girl that he got from the armored vehicle. He had only glanced at it before, but now he really had time to understand why the girl was sent to Kazdel.

Perhaps the relevant information was kept by someone else, and the files Luo Ya had on hand did not contain much detailed information about the girl. It only recorded that her ability was extremely destructive, but she was only 12 years old so using her ability would be a burden, and for some reason she suffered from severe amnesia, but this meant that as long as she didn't feel uncomfortable, she would be very obedient.

"looking at what?"

The film girl walked to Luo Ya curiously, wanting to see the paper in his hand but failed.

"Nothing. I thought your name would be on it, but it turned out to be just a piece of waste paper."

Crumpling up the paper into a ball and throwing it into the bonfire, Luo Ya couldn't imagine that such a little girl who was less than twelve years old was worthy of being escorted by an entire armed convoy. Moreover, they said she was very destructive with a body that would fall down at the sight of the wind?

Regardless of all that, anyone with a little bit of brainpower can realize that if this girl was taken to the Tower of Babel, she would most likely be used as a weapon. Otherwise, why would she be sent to Kazdel, where civil war is ongoing? To treat illness?
