Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 1967: Chapter 1968: Battle Erupts

Wan San had seen his share of big scenes. Even with a large group blocking the convoy’s path, he remained unfazed.

Only to see Wan San cupped his hands and then said loudly:

”Members of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group! Our convoy seems to have no quarrel with you, right? How about making it easy for us to pass? We’re in a hurry to deliver this batch of goods. Once we get to Nanping County, I’ll treat everyone to drinks!”

A large crowd had blocked the convoy’s path, causing the carriages to stop and pile up. Everyone had dismounted, looking apprehensively at those blocking the road.

Among the so-called Iron Wolf Mercenary Group, the leaders were three men who looked quite formidable.

One of them, a man in a black outfit, smiled slightly and then said:

”Wan San! You’re a businessman; we can’t match your shrewdness. But saying such things is feigning ignorance. Do you take our several dozen brothers for fools?”

Upon hearing this, Wan San wasn’t angry. He wore a placating smile and bowed:

”Captain Luo, I dare not toy with your brothers. Who in Nanping County doesn’t know the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group’s reputation? However, I’ve traveled a long way. How about I leave some drinking money for your brothers, and we gather another day? Captain, what do you think?”

Before Captain Luo could speak, a one-eyed man beside him, wearing a black eyepatch, immediately said:

”Wan San! Stop babbling! You should know our intention. Rest assured, we won’t do anything excessive. We just want the Commandery Princess to join us for a bit and ask her dad for some things. Just keep out of it, leave some treasures, and we’ll turn a blind eye and let you through!”

Even with Wan San’s good temper, he knew this couldn’t end well, and his expression darkened.

He forced a smile and said:

”Vice-Captain, you know I’m friends with Lord Commandery Prince. If I were to hand over the Commandery Princess to you, I’d be in trouble! Here’s the deal: I’ll give half of this cargo to your brothers, and you let us off the hook, okay?”

Wan San regretted it deeply. Originally, two Divine Realm experts were more than enough for this journey. But unexpectedly, the Commandery Princess had joined halfway. When Wan San had thumped his chest and promised the Nanping Commandery Prince to deliver her safely, they were almost set to go, and no suitable Divine Realm escort was found, so they departed hastily.

Unexpectedly, the information leaked, and now they were blocked by the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group.

The strength of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group was just average, even poor, considered a lower tier in the entire Nanping County. It’s unclear why they dared to rob the Commandery Princess. If something happened, Wan San couldn’t bear the consequences!

However, his words clearly couldn’t sway the people in front of him.

The Iron Wolf Mercenary Group had three Divine Realm experts. The previous Captain Luo and the one-eyed man were both Divine Realm experts, and the third was a long-haired man.

The long-haired man’s face was sinister, reminiscent of a venomous snake.

He sneered, looked at Wan San, and coldly said:

”Enough talk, Wan San. Either hand over the people and treasures, we won’t kill anyone. Otherwise, you’re clever enough to know the consequences!”

Wan San was startled, his expression also darkened.

It was clear the other side didn’t intend to leave any way out. His mind began to race, thinking of methods to get the Commandery Princess out.

At that time, the beautiful Commandery Princess was also flustered, her initial arrogance and aloofness replaced by panic. Bai Nan, who had constantly boasted before him, was also tense, as were the others.

After all, they were just escorts for the convoy, while the enemy was mercenaries who lived life on the edge. The contrast in their capabilities was clear!

However, all hope was not lost, because Lin Chen’s side had two Divine Realm experts, an elder and a middle-aged man. With their help, escaping a few people wasn’t impossible.

Moreover, there was one most unstable factor, Lin Chen. With Lin Chen’s strength, he was invincible below the Divine Realm. Although these mercenaries were fierce, most weren’t highly capable and likely didn’t have formidable Divine Arts or skills. Against Lin Chen, they were bound to be defeated.

Wan San was gradually making up his mind. He had a treasure that could ensure his safety. As a wealthy merchant, he had such items, given that life is most important. With this, even three Divine Realm experts couldn’t hold him back.

But as a businessman who valued reputation immensely, and having been entrusted with the Commandery Princess by his friend, he naturally couldn’t abandon her.

So Wan San stayed silent for a while, then turned to the two Divine Realm experts with a glance, and then spoke to the three from the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group:

”Gentlemen! I cannot hand over this person!”

”Hmph! A businessman who doesn’t know when to yield! Since you seek death, we’ll oblige! Brothers, attack!”

The one-eyed man, seeing Wan San’s refusal, showed anger and directly shouted in fury.

Hearing this, those originally standing fiercely by the side of the mercenary group immediately roared and charged towards the convoy.

Seeing this, Wan San’s smile faded, and he shouted gravely:

”Be on guard! Protect the Commandery Princess and others!”

Then Wan San burst forth with momentum, quickly retreating to gather with the rest.

At that moment, the Divine Realm elder shouted:

”All escorts move forward to fight, leaving a few at the back! Look for the opportunity to break out!”

”Understood!”

With these words, everyone rushed forward. Lin Chen’s side, led by two Divine Realm experts, left behind some to guard the Commandery Princess and others without combat ability, having only about thirty to forty people. The Iron Wolf Mercenary Group had nearly seventy or eighty people!

Even with the disparity, at this point, the mercenaries would not hold back. A full-force strike still held a glimmer of hope; otherwise, it was nothing but a dead end!

The battle was about to erupt!

At this moment, the calmest person on the scene was undoubtedly Lin Chen.
