The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 14: Following

Annan didn't move forward for too long when he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

The voice was quite far away from him.

Annan narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly stopped, and hid himself.

In front of him is a slightly steep **** with sparse pine plants on both sides. Walking all the way eastward from this **** for ten minutes, you will reach the beach where he first woke up.

Annan deliberately avoided trails without plants, but stayed under the cover of the natural environment.

He took full advantage of his height and climbed up the **** as silently as possible. On the short section of the road closest to the top, the **** seemed quite steep, but with John's broken sword serving as a hiking stick, Annan was still able to climb up relatively smoothly.

He leaned against a crooked tree, using it to stabilize his back, and looked toward the other side of the hillside.

I saw a flat and easy-to-walk dirt road not far away on the other side. Although it is not very wide, it can at least allow four or five horses to move forward abreast.

There are a dozen horses in total, moving rapidly from south to north.

Fortunately, Annan is not located on a cliff, but on a hillside - the terrain on the other side is even lower than the first side of Annan.

Perhaps because they did not expect that someone would be waiting on the top of the hillside before the sun rose, none of the riders over there noticed Annan's presence.

This group of people... don't look like serious people.

Annan narrowed his ice-blue eyes, looked at them quietly, and counted their number carefully.

There are fourteen people in total. One person wore half-body metal armor, and the rest wore worn-out tan leather armor.

They carry long swords on their waists and small wooden shields on their left arms. There were three people with short bows slung on their backs, and the leader held a long-handled weapon that looked like a spear but had a hook at the front in his right hand.

And the two people beside him...

Annan's pupils shrank slightly.

He clearly saw that the two men were carrying gunpowder weapons that looked like rifles behind them. There were also several people carrying large, strong shields behind their backs.

So heavily armed, where are they going?

Annan looked at the chart once in the captain's cabin.

Don Juan and his ship sailed all the way north.

To be specific, it starts from the southeast coast of the mainland, from about five o'clock to the two o'clock position.

They were originally scheduled to disembark from the main port of the Frozen Water Port, which is the two o'clock position, the southern part of the sunken inland sea... and the location of the Principality of Winter is on the north side of the inland sea. .

So after seeing the chart, Annan immediately understood the situation of the Principality of Winter and the Kingdom of Noah.

An inland sea is divided by two countries, and one person uses half of it; even the port may have its doors open facing each other.

...There will be trouble if this doesn't start a fight.

The continent in front of him is accessible from north to south. This probably means that the north of the road is his destination.

The newly acquired territory of Young Master Don Juan - the frozen water port in the North Sea Territory.

Those six people may be bandits and robbers...

Thinking of this, Annan trotted down the **** lightly.

He took a careful look at the road surface and easily found several quite clear ruts.

"...A motorcade passed by here not long ago."

Annan made a judgment and had a vague understanding.

They got the news from somewhere and learned that a caravan was staying here. They purposely came here in the early morning... Considering the distance, they may have come all night after hearing the news.

With the basic concept that Don Juan’s things belong to him, Annan quickly formed a complete logical chain in his mind:

Frozen Water Port is his territory, so the property of its residents is his property...

So what those bandits were robbing was his!

Annan was furious.

Without thinking for too long, Annan decided to follow.

"——I was stolen from everything and expelled from my hometown. Now you dare to break into my territory. You are really asking for your own death!"

Annan planned to jump out and shout to them if he saw the group of bandits and found that he could beat them.

He thought for a moment and thought that this line could indeed be read at this time. After all, this was his real experience, and it would not be inconsistent to read it out.

He made up his mind and stopped walking slowly.

He found a hollow tree hole to hide the relatively heavy broken sword, marked it, and began to move forward lightly.

At this time, Annan discovered that his physical fitness was unexpectedly good.

He ran fast all the way, and even after running for twenty minutes he was only slightly panting. The power in the body could not help but not be exhausted, but was surging, and the condition became better.

It seemed that the twenty-minute journey was just a warm-up exercise for him.

That's pretty incredible physical ability for someone his age.

But the key is that his constitution is only 7 points.

At this time, an idea came to Annan's mind:

Don’t the attributes panel of this game have an average of ten attributes?

...Is it five o'clock?

No, just to be on the safe side. Let’s consider ten o’clock as the average.

Maybe people in this world have particularly good physical fitness...

By this time, Annan had already heard the argument coming from far ahead.

He saw a group of people entangled together.

The tops of the two nearest houses were already on fire, and there were five or six carriages placed against the wall next to one of the houses.

Three of the six robbers were trying to put ropes on their horses, while civilians armed with simple weapons and militiamen who gathered one after another were confronting the remaining three.

No, the number of militiamen is too small.

Annan took one glance and realized something was wrong.

I don’t know if it’s because of poverty or because I came in a hurry. Almost none of the gathered militiamen were wearing armor. And even if you include the militiamen without armor, the number of men with weapons is not as many as that of the bandits.

The robbers in the back row fired another round of rockets~IndoMTL.com~ and set two houses on fire.

I wonder how they handle their arrows. The wooden house didn't look like a very flammable material, but when the arrow was shot into it, it still instantly burst into flames.

The robbers holding swords and shields stood in front of the robbers in the back row in an orderly manner, confronting the militiamen. The two robbers holding rifled guns lowered their muzzles and pointed them at the three robbers who stole the carriage, forcing the others back.

Annan watched this scene from a distance and slowed down.

He narrowed his eyes.

Something's wrong.

How could these bandits be so orderly?

They don’t curse or hurt others at will. Although the formations were a bit scattered, at least there was no obstruction between them, and the archery bandit's accuracy was also a bit ridiculous... Those big bows may not be able to be pulled even if the arm strength is small.

In stark contrast to the very disciplined robbers, the people in the town are already in chaos. The militiamen didn't know whether to put out the fire first or stop them from stealing.

After a brief panic, their opinions were quickly unified:

——Fight the fire first.

After all, the businessman with the motorcade was not from their town. But the house is actually their own property.

But at this moment, a stupid young man shouted and squeezed forward, slashing at the robber who stole the car with a sword.

Bang——

At this moment, the two men opened fire immediately!

They fired almost at the same time, and the gunshots were almost continuous. One shot went sideways and hit the wall; the other hit the dumbfounded young man in the thigh.

He immediately fell to the ground, and the militiamen surrounded him without hesitation.

Suffer!

Seeing that something was not going well, Annan rushed over in two quick steps——
