Chapter 12 Fear
The blood flowing from the bandits' bodies almost formed a small stream, staining the ground in front of them reddish-brown.
"Okay, I'll ask everyone to take care of these bodies. I'm going to get back to the car first."
After making sure that the bandits were completely dead, Locke withdrew his mental power, roared at the leader of the guards beside him, and turned to walk towards the horse he was riding.
"Yes, Lord Locke."
The bodies of the robbers almost covered the road ahead.
The guards were fine with this tragic scene, but when had the merchants ever seen such a horrific scene?
Their faces were pale and their legs were trembling.
Many people even ran to the side and vomited.
Before Locke showed his strength, everyone knew that Lord Locke was very strong, but they didn't know how strong he was, and they didn't have a specific concept in their minds.
But now, facing the corpses of nearly a thousand people, everyone deeply realized the gap between them.
At this moment, there was no longer curiosity in everyone's eyes looking at Locke, but deep awe.
This is the fear of power.
When the guards were moving the bodies of nearly a thousand bandits away, more and more bandits came from farther away. After all, the caravan formed by Luqi this time was enough to attract many people.
However, when they saw the corpses of the bandits piled up like a mountain in Hongchou Valley, they turned around and left without saying a word.
This time, the caravan was not one that they could challenge.
If one is not careful, one will have to go to the underworld of the dead and wait to restore his memory or become a resource for others to take a step closer.
For the rest of the journey, the Luchi Chamber of Commerce had a smooth journey and Locke hardly had to take any action.
After all, the bandits had many channels to obtain information, and many people knew that a large caravan departed from the city of Bidiya, escorted by powerful magicians, and a bandit alliance of nearly a thousand people was directly wiped out.
No one wants to encounter such a murderous magician.
For the merchants and guards of this chamber of commerce, this business trip is almost the same as traveling.
They walked through the Bidiya Territory in a grand and leisurely manner.
"Lord Locke, we have arrived at Enbo Territory."
On this day, after the Luqi Chamber of Commerce crossed a canyon, President Luqi came to Locke's vehicle and said to Locke respectfully.
"Well, don't worry, President Lu Qi, when it's my turn to take action, I will do it."
"Thank you very much, Master Locke."
President Luci thanked Locke and walked a few meters away from the carriage before wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Every time he talked with Locke, President Luci felt as if he was standing defenselessly in front of a dragon's mouth, as if the dragon only needed to open its mouth to swallow him completely.
However, President Luci had to come and talk to Locke.
Unlike Bidya Territory which is mostly plains, Embo Territory does not have so many bandits. However, Embo Territory is mostly mountains and forests, where many magical beasts live.
Occasionally, there would be some monster attacks on cities or villages in Enbo Territory.
This is even more true in the wild.
To be honest, if it weren't for Locke, President Luchi would basically not come to Enbo County.
Even if the things in Bidia Territory can be sold at a higher price in Enbo Territory, he will not get involved.
After all, President Lu Qi is very self-aware and knows that he should only eat within his capabilities.
The last time he helped Locke to deliver the letter, he used some of his connections to deliver the letter for Locke. After knowing that Locke was going back to Enbo Territory, President Lu Qi was ready to take a gamble.
If the Luchi Chamber of Commerce can gain a foothold in Enbo Territory through Locke, it will usher in a huge development.
It now seems that Luqi has won half of the bet.
Their caravan traveled the entire Bidiya Territory for nearly a month without suffering any losses.
On the contrary, they passed through several towns and changed the goods on the caravan one batch after another. It can be said that the profit earned by the caravan this month was almost three times as much as usual.
The remaining half would depend on whether, during this time in Enbo Territory, with the help of Lord Locke, we could open up a safe trade route for the Chamber of Commerce in the future.
As long as the Luqi Chamber of Commerce can gain a foothold in Enbo Territory, it will quickly have the opportunity to grow and develop.
After entering the Embo Territory, the guards of the caravan were much more vigilant than when they were in the Bidiya Territory.
After all, those bandits were afraid of Lord Locke because they knew that Lord Locke had killed nearly a thousand bandits who came to rob caravans.
The monsters in Enbo Territory do not have as well-informed information channels as the bandits.
Now, the fleet of the Luqi Chamber of Commerce has increased to sixty vehicles.
Among those individual convoys that had previously followed the Luchi Chamber of Commerce, several members joined the Luchi Chamber of Commerce after paying protection fees to President Luchi.
In Bidiya Territory, they can still take advantage of the remaining power of Luchi Chamber of Commerce, but this is not the case in Enbo Territory.
After all, Warcraft is different from humans. Only Warcraft above level seven possess a certain level of intelligence.
Magical beasts below level seven only have the instinct to hunt.
Bullying the weak is the nature of Warcraft.
If they do not merge with the Luchi Chamber of Commerce, or remain like they were in the Bidiya Territory, once they enter the Embo Territory, they will be the best shield for the Luchi Chamber of Commerce.
All monsters will attack them first.
Moreover, monsters are different from bandits.
The robbers would only loot the goods and kill the guards, and would not harm the merchants.
After all, they still hope that these merchants will take the trade route they intercepted next time they do business.
Being full once and being full every time, everyone can tell the difference between the important and the unimportant.
But the monsters attack humans only for "food", they don't distinguish between guarding merchants.
It's all food!
Now, the number of guards in the caravan has reached more than one hundred and sixty people.
Among them, there are more than twenty level six fighters.
There are more than forty level five fighters.
The rest are all intermediate fighters above level three.
With such a guard force, as long as they don't encounter high-level magical beasts, the guards can still deal with ordinary magical beasts.
This is indeed the case. Along the way, Locke basically didn't have to take any action, and the caravan had safely arrived at Enbo City, the largest city in Enbo Territory and the city where the Duke of Enbo was located.
Then, the Chamber of Commerce's convoy disbanded here, and everyone used their previous relationships to contact the Chamber of Commerce in Enbo City to sell the goods in their hands.
However, unlike the presidents of other chambers of commerce, after selling all his goods, President Luqi did not rush to purchase new goods in Embo. Instead, he got on a carriage and left Embo under the protection of several guards.
