950: Chapter 595 950: Chapter 595 The head of the bandits was not confused this time.
With so many carriages and travelers, their abilities must be good; although there are several hundred people in their stockade, not all of them are strong!
If these hundred plus people could each take on two or three bandits, it wouldn’t be enough for them, but risking life for wealth is something bandits commonly do; if they were afraid, they wouldn’t be bandits!
Moreover, they aren’t the type to kill without blinking; many of them became bandits because they were poor and had no other choice!
Their stockade is different from others; they rob without killing and if people get hurt during the robbery, it’s an unavoidable situation!
But if they rob the rich or the bullies, then they have no choice but to act as avengers for the people!
There is also competition among their stockade and others; other stockades might rob and kill, and when they can’t abide by such acts, they intervene but also make enemies of many other stockades!
With the head’s order, except for the old, the young, the women, and the cooks, everyone else must stay behind in the stockade!
Everyone else must follow; this large group of travelers didn’t all have horses, and the lesser bandits could only run behind!
The head charged ahead, followed by the second and third bandit leaders, leading some cavalry, rushing over mightily towards this side!
Tang Feiyang was meditating with his eyes closed, but he immediately became alert!
He noticed not only a large group of people rushing over from one direction, but from many large mountains afar, many groups were running over looking like different teams!
“Oh no, so many bandits have mobilized!”
For Tang Feiyang, this spectacle was not like last night’s; last night was in the dark, people didn’t know what laid ahead or behind, and they escaped under the cover of night!
So many groups of people, at least a thousand, how could his hundred people contend with them?
Even if it were ordinary people, so many would swarm like ants!
They would be exhausted from slaying, caught and torn apart by these bandits; talking about heading north would be out of the question, surely they couldn’t escape this calamity!
“Quick, quick, quick, a lot of bandits are charging this way, let’s run quickly to the front!”
Tang Feiyang was the leader of this group, and everyone followed his command; they had just rested for half a day and had just eaten lunch!
Hearing Tang Feiyang’s tense words, they were all terrified!
Had another escape commenced?
Carriage drivers, guards, they immediately spurred the horses and carriages!
Driving the horses as fast as they could.
After all, these people were all martial artists; from the moment Tang Feiyang’s orders were given, they hurriedly continued on their way, their ears alert to their surroundings.
Those with higher abilities could also hear, groups by groups, the sounds of horse hooves and human footsteps, mightily resounding!
Indeed, many people were coming!
“Zebra, what’s the background of these?
So many bandits, treating us like sheep.”
One scholar muttered to himself, followed by his carriage driver, his family’s protector, “Young Master, rest assured, as long as I’m here, you won’t get hurt, these people must think we’re easy pickings!”
“Your ability is so weak, having you here is no use!” the scholar felt no sense of security, this time it might be more perilous than not!
Tang Feiyang, this time, wasn’t flying high in the sky because it was daylight, and no matter how high, other people could look up and see unless he went above the clouds!
With his current ability, if others were cultivators too, they could not only snatch him but also prevent him from escaping from high up!
He obediently stayed in the carriage, if really in danger, he could use spells and magical treasures to perform an Earth Escape!
Tang Feiyang hoped that all of them could escape, but if it was impossible, he would selectively take some elites with him!
That, of course, would be under absolute safety!
Tang Feiyang had the responsibility to protect these people, but also, they were not his parents, and they came out voluntarily; if these few elites couldn’t escape, even if he escaped himself, it couldn’t be said that he was selfish!
After all, preserving oneself is needed to protect others; facing such a situation, his only option would be to seek help!
These people probably wouldn’t kill them all!
Tang Feiyang was also quite nervous, being the leader, the pressure was immense!
He could only hope that these people were merely ordinary martial artists, not cultivators; if so, then they had the ability to drive these bandits away or to escape themselves!
The guards dispatched by Tang Feiyang also followed and reported that they had spotted suspicious characters, many in number, many teams.
Tang Feiyang ordered everyone to run at full speed; if they could cross this stretch of road, the people chasing from behind wouldn’t be able to surround them in large numbers!
It wouldn’t form a circle if the horse riders caught up but the foot soldiers didn’t!
Now they were praying, no more bandits secretly joining, allowing them to pass safely through this route!
A multitude of carriages and horses raced along the road, dust flying, stirring their emotions!
During this intense run, they ran swiftly, and soon the bandit scouts also followed and reported back, after all, from some high mountains one could still see far across the plains!
They could see any unusual circumstances nearby and could also hear the sound of horse hooves!
“Head, those people are not staying put, they have started running!”
“Chase, chase fast…!”
At this moment, fearing that the fattened sheep might escape, the tired little bandits running, doing so for the grain in their pockets.
