Chapter 89 Four bronzes and one king! Heroes gather in Gold Rush Town
Click click… click click…
The carriage was driving on a not-so-smooth official road, and the axles would occasionally be bumped and make a crisp sound.
In the carriage, Gabriel, a familiar brown-haired boy, was very good at adjusting the atmosphere. Even Jenny, the most reserved girl, was made to chuckle from time to time by him.
Wearing a mask, Wang Hui sat in the corner with his arms folded and did not actively participate in the topics of these "companions", but he also learned a lot of useful information along the way.
For example, the so-called "mercenaries" are not simply a mixed organization, but have a relatively strict rating system.
From low to high, there are five levels: black iron, bronze, silver, gold, and platinum.
This level not only represents the mercenary’s level of experience in completing the commission, but also reflects his level of strength!
The new black iron mercenaries who have just entered the industry are basically ordinary people without extraordinary abilities, doing some chores to support their families.
The four members of Gabriel's team are at the Bronze level. They are considered to have entered the threshold of extraordinary beings and have had some commissioned experience including combat.
Mercenaries of different levels can apply for nameplates of corresponding colors from local associations. They are arc-shaped strips of jewelry, usually hung around their necks as pendants.
Just like the four Gabriels, they wear bronze nameplates.
When they asked Wang Hui about his mercenary level, he calmly grabbed a handful of silver coins from his purse and quietly released extreme heat from his palm to melt and reshape them.
When he reached out and took it out as a signal, those silver coins had been integrated into a silver arc-shaped nameplate!
According to the records in Witch Mag's spell book, this should be considered a sixth-level fire spell [Scorching Grip]...
"Silver level!"
Jenny couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
Although they were a little confused as to why Mr. Ted's nameplate was steaming, the bright silver color was very clear.
Pluto, a fat young man who was sitting in front driving the car, heard the movement, turned his head and said with a smile: "With silver-level veterans joining us, our chances of completing the commission will be much greater!"
Gabriel and Simon looked at each other with equally delighted expressions, secretly thinking that they were so lucky to have such a new companion.
But Wang Hui's next question immediately poured cold water on the four of them.
"I just said that the commission you received was to kill at least ten orc warriors or priests, but you don't seem to have the ability to match it. Why did you accept this commission?"
Wang Hui is telling the truth.
In his perception, the source energy in the bodies of these four young mercenaries was too weak, and they were on the same level as the children of the three tribes who had just experienced body tempering.
According to the story of powerful mercenaries that Gabriel talked about before, it is estimated that the silver level is almost equal to the second tempering, and by analogy, the gold level is approximately equal to the third tempering, and the platinum level is four times.
The orcs of the Thunder Kingdom have innate physical advantages, and the combat power of ordinary warriors is between the first tempered body and the second tempered body!
Even considering their relatively low intelligence and poor ability to cooperate in combat, if you want to kill ten of them safely, it is best to use a team of silver-level mercenaries.
Why are these four little bronzes joining in the fun?
The originally lively atmosphere quickly cooled down.
Proto drove in silence, Jenny kept her face down and said nothing, Simon also took out his dagger and wiped it quietly...
Gabriel looked around and had to explain awkwardly:
"Mr. Testard, we are indeed at a loss, but didn't you read His Majesty the King's summons announcement? The Kingdom of Stormwind is in a critical situation, surrounded by enemies from both sides, and this is the moment when it needs the contribution of its citizens!
If the defense line is breached and those barbaric orcs are allowed to burn, kill, and loot the town, no one will have a good outcome...
Instead of seeing our relatives, friends and family being bullied, we should use all our courage to fight!
Even if you die on the battlefield, you can still show some value!"
Wang Hui took a storm summons order from Gabriel, read the above content, chuckled noncommittally, and made no comment.
At first glance, this incident seems quite tragic, protecting the homeland and the country, living and dying together...
But Wang Hui learned from Justin that a long time ago, the territory of the Stormwind Kingdom was only in a corner.
Later, relying on the rapidly developing group of wizards and knights, and cooperating with the power of the sea, it was able to enrich itself by continuously encroaching on the territory of the Thunder Kingdom.
Recently, the orc army captured those two towns, in fact taking back the territory they had owned since ancient times!
The Storm King's rhetoric is more subtle.
Obviously they were the first bandits to start plundering. Now that their strength has shrunk and they are being counterattacked, they have to pretend to be innocent victims and call on "just men" to go and defend the country...
This face is so ridiculous!
It’s no wonder that Gabriel and others were easily deceived. After all, in the minds of this generation of young people, those towns have belonged to the Kingdom of Stormwind since before they could remember.
In addition, they are often influenced by the theory that "orcs have no bottom line in greed" promoted by the royal family and nobles, so it is logical that they would be willing to be cannon fodder on the battlefield...
As if aware of the high probability of being killed in battle, Gabriel was not in the mood to talk about anything easy, and the carriage fell silent.
In the evening, the carriage arrived at the Taojin Town Station.
Half a day's drive from here are the two towns and areas captured by the Kingdom of Thunder, so many mercenary teams stopped here to rest.
Not all of them are righteous fools like the four Gabriels. Many mercenaries who think they are outstanding simply want to take this opportunity to make a fortune!
The commission given by the royal family is not low, and taking advantage of the chaos during the war, maybe you can make some other windfall...
"Look! It's the person from [Rose Thorn]!"
"Hey, has a gold-level powerhouse already appeared? Then we..."
"[Lynx] and [Moonlight Song] also arrived not long ago, and they are said to be going hunting early tomorrow morning!"
As soon as Wang Hui got off the carriage, he heard noisy sounds in the distance.
He looked around and saw six knights walking on the other road, attracting the attention of many people.
On top of the tall horse, six people were wearing uniform dark red armor, with sharp protruding corners on their helmets, shoulders, elbows, knees and other places. They looked very dangerous!
Wang Hui's eyes narrowed slightly. The source energy in these six people was about three times tempered, which was similar to the middle-level combat power of the Kingdom of God's army.
Including top executives Nalan Xiao and Hu Yan Qingbai who are not good at frontal combat are also at this level.
Gabriel, who then got out of the car, saw this and exclaimed: "That's the [Thorn of the Rose]... six gold-level mercenaries, all of whom are heavy-armored knights. They shouldn't be defeated in a direct fight with the orc army, right?"
"
Pluto, who was wearing cheap plate armor, looked envious: "When will I also have such a powerful set of armor..."
The four of them sighed and watched the figure of [Rose Thorn] go away. They and Wang Hui also entered Gold Rush Town, found a hotel to stay, and gathered in the same room to prepare a plan.
Gabriel took out the map, unfolded it, and carefully shared the known information with his companions.
Wang Hui, on the other hand, was a little absent-minded. He glanced out the window and the corners of his mouth curved up slightly.
