“Bang!”
There was a faint noise, followed by a scream.
"ah!
Ahhhh…" Kurt, who was about to run out of the camp, suddenly fell to his knees and howled.
Allison and the other guards who were chasing were stunned for a moment and looked back. Livia was holding a crossbow with a calm expression. The string was hanging in the air and was still shaking. It was obvious that a crossbow arrow had just been shot.
"What are you standing there for!
Why don't you arrest this damn guy!"
Livia didn't say anything, but Killian, who was following behind him, shouted at Allison and the guards with gritted teeth.
Allison finally reacted, and he and his guards quickly surrounded Kurt, who was lying on the ground with his hands tightly gripping his thighs near his knees. Hiss~ Allison looked at the fine iron crossbow arrow that pierced his knee, and felt a little chill in his knee. No wonder this guy fell to the ground and wailed after being shot. The whole knee joint was shot through, let alone being unable to walk, it was lucky that he didn't faint from the pain.
However, Allison did not sympathize with him. He took the rope handed to him by the guard next to him with a cold face, grabbed Kurt's hands without mercy while he was wailing, and tied him up.
Livia saw that the robbers who had sneaked in had been caught and tied up, and put the crossbow back behind her.
Although he had not learned archery or archery, with a crossbow, as long as your hands are steady and the distance is not too far, you can basically just aim and pull the trigger. The reason he was able to hit the guy's knee so accurately was because the distance was close enough and he was running in a straight line.
The crossbow is one of the easiest weapons to use at close range. At close range, you can hit the target by just aiming and pulling the trigger, but at medium distance or above, some skills are required.
The only drawback of his one-handed crossbow is that its power is a little bit small. It is okay at close distance, but it can't even hit the target at far distance. It is okay against humans and humanoid races, but it is as ineffective against monsters as in the game.
Not long after, with a dull groan of pain, the iron crossbow arrow was pulled out of Kurt's knee joint as he was tied in front of the campfire. He fainted from the pain. It was estimated that if his mouth had not been stuffed with a cloth strip, he would have bitten his tongue to commit suicide.
The guard who pulled out the crossbow arrow cleaned the bloody arrow with water and cloth and handed it back to Livia.
Livia glanced at Killian who was standing in front of the fire. He naturally knew that this was the other party's order, but he really had to retrieve the crossbow arrow. After all, she only had thirty arrows in total. If she didn't retrieve them, one less arrow would be used.
He took the crossbow arrow calmly, put it back into the quiver, and looked at Allison.
Allison looked serious and slapped the unconscious Kurt several times. How could he have a good attitude towards this kind of robber and spy who sneaked in? If he didn't want to interrogate him, he would have killed him with a sword long ago.
“Woo woo woo!”
Kurt woke up from his daze and was immediately terrified when he saw Allison in front of him. If his mouth hadn't been blocked, he would probably have screamed.
Allison just looked at him quietly until he calmed down, then he tore off the cloth stuffed in his mouth.
"call……
No, don't kill me, I really don't know those guys!"
After the cloth was pulled out of his mouth, Kurt took a few deep breaths and spoke anxiously.
"Humph, you are not their accomplice, then what did you do when you went out last night? Why did you run away when we called you!"
Before Allison could say anything, Killian, who was standing behind him, spoke angrily.
Twice in a row, people with bad intentions sneaked in, and they were all coachmen. This made him so angry that his nose was almost crooked. This was not only embarrassing, but if he didn't deal with it well and the news got out, he would not be able to continue working in the Chamber of Commerce, and he would not even have the face to continue working in the business circle.
Hearing Killian's words, Kurt, who was tied up tightly, was about to cry.
"I'm really not in the same group with them. I don't even know them. Our people are still on the way behind us."
Um?
Killian and Allison were stunned when they heard his words. What do you mean your people are still on the way behind?
Livia understood and reacted first. She frowned at him and asked, "Are you saying this is another group of people, and your accomplices are behind us?"
Kurt nodded helplessly, his eyes fell on his right knee, his eyes full of despair. His right knee had no feeling, and it was probably that the nerves were completely necrotic. Even if he survived, he would be a disabled person and would die sooner or later.
Now Killian, Allison and even the guards beside them understood what was going on. It turned out that the two gangs of bandits had found out about their itinerary and were planning to attack them.
In fact, what Killian didn't know was that the group of bandits who attacked them just now were actually lying in ambush because of the information sold to them by the thief a few days ago. The thief had planned to steal the valuables and jewelry when the caravan was attacked by the bandits he attracted, and then hide in the secret compartment that he had made with great difficulty, and wait for the bandits to attack the caravan and leave before finding a town to sell the stolen items.
He knew that the robbers would at most take away valuables and horses, and would simply leave things like carriages and freight carts on the road. After all, carriages were not only conspicuous but also difficult to sell (with the mark of the Black Marigold Chamber of Commerce on them), and as robbers, it was impossible for them to take the carriages with them.
But he didn't expect that he was attacked by monsters instead of bandits. He was also bumped into by Killian. Finally, when he wanted to kill someone, he was shot in the head by Livia's flying sword. It has to be said that he is a smart man, even if his luck is a little bad.
But now no one cared about the group of robbers just now, but all focused their mental attention on the robbers that Kurt had just mentioned who were following them.
"You mean, you plan to wait until we rest before launching a night attack?"
Allison looked at Kurt seriously and said in a deep voice.
The tied-up Kurt has now given up hope. He has been caught anyway and it is difficult for him to survive. It looks like his companions will all be dead soon. After all, the guy named Livia is really as powerful as the rumors say. He no longer has any hope for his companions.
"I'll tell you everything, can you spare my life?"
Kurt looked at Killian and Livia behind him pleadingly. He knew that these two were the ones in charge of this caravan, especially the evil god named Livia.
Livia watched quietly, folding her arms across her chest without saying a word.
Killian opened his lips to say something, but Allison spoke first.
“You still dare to ask for something!
I think I'll just kill you with one sword!"
He felt that since Livia was there and he already knew that there was a group of robbers behind them, he no longer needed this guy.
