"If you hadn't deliberately used the disappearing spell, I wouldn't have been able to see you."

From the shadows, the assassin Simon, wearing dark close-fitting leather armor, stepped out.

“I haven’t seen you for more than four years, but Mr. Tide is still as charming as ever!”

Wang Hui looked at this short young assassin. He was barely tall, but he was very convenient for sneaking.

His stealth skills are much better than I remember. He must have experienced a lot of actual combat over the years, and he has lived up to the teachings of his "Master Assassin".

"You and Gabriel have made great progress in strength and are now on the threshold of gold level. Why don't you find some stronger teammates?"

Wang Hui could tell at a glance that the strength of the source matter in Simon and Gabriel's bodies had reached the level of three temperings, while Pluto and Jenny had only just tempered two, and their growth rates were significantly different.

Simon came to Wang Hui, followed the mercenary team in front from a distance, and whispered:

"Thanks to your blessing, we were recognized as participants in the annihilation of the orc garrison in Luohuan Town, and received a large bounty from the Knights of the Storm. We also used this to purchase a lot of magic stones and potions to increase our strength.

The reward for completing the commission for the silver-level team is enough for our daily expenses. There is no need to rush to upgrade the team level.

and…"

Simon looked at his teammates who were marching cautiously in front:

"Pluto and Jenny are not only teammates, but also important partners. Gabriel and I will not abandon them, and conversely, they will not abandon us."

Simon is usually relatively taciturn, but when faced with "Ti De", a noble man who was half a mentor and had changed their destiny, he couldn't help but talk a lot more.

"Partner..."

Wang Hui smiled and was noncommittal.

More than four years apart, the friendship between these four young people seems to be still strong, and it is rare to have withstood the test of interests.

He turned to ask: "Caroline and those people are going against the Kingdom of God today, why do you want to get involved? It's not a racial war with the orcs, why bother wading into muddy waters, aren't you afraid of death?"

Hearing this, Simon was silent for a while and explained:

"...It's also thanks to you that as Masked Test's teammates, we became famous, and many mercenaries focused on the bounty we received.

It is only thanks to Ms. Caroline's care that the four of us have the chance to grow in strength and survive until now.

Accepting the commission this time is not to deliberately resist the Kingdom of God, but just to repay Ms. Caroline's favor."

Wang Hui glanced at Simon: "You don't seem to be disgusted with the Kingdom of God?"

"Not disgusted."

Simon shook his head simply: "Not just me, not many people in the Kingdom of Storm are against the Kingdom of God. Who doesn't want to live a good life? Our family can live and work in peace and contentment, and we no longer have to worry about the exploitation of evil nobles...

For people in the middle and lower classes, the annexation of the Kingdom of God is indeed the salvation of the Kingdom of Storm.

If it hadn't been for Ms. Caroline's invitation, the four of us wouldn't have messed around with those single-minded knights.

They value the rise and fall of the royal family, but we value the dignity of the common people."

"Oh..."

Wang Hui was a little surprised and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a few years, and the little assassin who used to get stuck after just two sentences is now able to express a thorough point of view, right?"

"You're flattered, I just..."

Simon was so confused that he didn't know how to respond. Suddenly, screams came from far ahead. It was the mercenaries who were fighting with the guards of the former Duke's mansion!

Most of these guards are ordinary soldiers, and there is only one small group of aluminum-armored warriors from the Kingdom of God.

They were ordered to seal off the place, waiting for the higher-ups to make up... to find out more crimes of the former Duke, so that they could justifiably confiscate the property and fill the national treasury.

In fact, most of the valuables inside had been transported away long ago, leaving almost an empty shell, which was just a show of guarding. I didn't expect that it would attract so many mercenaries to raid...

Bang!

The captain of the Kingdom of God who stayed behind slashed two bronze mercenaries with one sword and shouted loudly: "Zuo Qiugan! Break out quickly to find support, we don't have enough manpower!"

Zuo Qiugan next to him nodded, quickly climbed out of the courtyard wall and went to ask for help.

But the mercenaries seemed determined to plunder the Duke's Mansion. How could they allow any changes to occur? More than ten people swarmed up and stabbed Zuoqiu Gan to death with his sword without running far!

Normally they don't dare to go against the people of the Kingdom of God, but now the Duke's massive wealth is right ahead. How many mercenaries can guarantee that they won't be tempted?

The wages of avarice is death!

At worst, he would get his reward and go away to another country. No matter how powerful the Kingdom of God is, it only occupies the two countries of Storm and Silver Moon.

They can run to the Kingdom of Darkness, where the situation among the three religions and nine streams is complicated, making it an excellent place for mercenaries to survive!

"Kill them all! Things are first come, first served! Don't crowd into a bunch when you run away later. Whoever dares to block my way, I will send him to see Pope Silver Moon!"

The greedy mercenaries were shouting, and the sounds of fighting in the Duke's mansion were heard one after another.

Caroline, the female knight who led the team, did not participate.

She looked back at a side door, where the intelligence indicated that the old king and others were under house arrest. At this time, Jonathan and Jamie's main force should have arrived.

Next, let’s watch the Duke’s Mansion make more noise and attract more troops from the Kingdom of God to gain evacuation space for the rescuers!

The mercenaries hired by Caroline generally have bad records. Even if they die during the cover operation, they do not deserve much sympathy. They can be regarded as contributing to the restoration of the Storm Royal Family...

Suddenly she noticed a strong wind coming, Caroline's expression changed slightly, and her figure suddenly flashed to the side.

【avoid】!

Bang!!

The side door frame where she was just now and the courtyard wall were split apart by a pair of scimitars!

So strong...

Caroline looked up and saw a middle-aged man wearing leather clothing.

Observing its appearance and comparing it with the information she had investigated in advance, Caroline's heart sank.

"Your Excellency, you are...Hu Yangui, a high-ranking official in the Kingdom of God?"

"oh?"

Hu Yangui put away his sword and looked at the other party, staring intently and said: "I rarely come to the Capital of Storm King, but you can actually recognize me...

You're not just a mercenary here to steal the former duke's property. What's your purpose?" www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

"No comment!"

Caroline pulled out the sword from her waist, and layers of light flashed alternately on her body.

【Concentrated fighting spirit】!

【Vital Perception】!

【power enhanced】!

Her usual weapon, the spear, was cut off by Nalan Watts' Qinglong Yanyue Sword while guarding the royal capital, and now she can only make do with a two-handed sword.

There is no need to think too much now, because the enemy's scimitar has arrived!

Bang!!

Caroline raised her sword to block, but felt her arms were numb from the shock.

This man actually suppressed her with a scimitar and held a sword with both hands! He was obviously stronger than Nalan Watts, whom she had fought against before!

Buzz——

Seeing another scimitar coming from Hu Yangui, Caroline gritted her teeth and continued to strengthen herself with martial arts.

【Brain Liberation】!
