The steward of the Tian Family Trading Team didn't speak. The servants nearby immediately pulled out long sticks from the mule carts and guarded around them.
The cart driver urged the mules to move forward, and the whole caravan suddenly began to move.
They had traveled together for years, developing instinctive cooperation, knowing what to do at this moment. If there was an ambush set here beforehand, they naturally needed to leave quickly.
The caravan's reaction was timely. The steward hoped that he was being overcautious and that there were no bandits ambushing in the woods around. However, as the caravan sped up, footsteps sounded from the woods on both sides.
The people hiding in the woods acted decisively, first blocking the caravan's path, then more people rushed out from the woods.
"Leave the carts, don't hurt anyone." The bandits shouted loudly.
The mules uneasily stomped their hooves.
