After agreeing on a meeting and time with Ling Xiao, the Yuan family housekeeper disappeared under the vast sunset.26nbsp;
Time passed in the blink of an eye. The next day, Ling Xiao adjusted his clothes and walked towards the gate of Kaiyuan City. From a distance, he saw a large number of mercenaries at the gate of the city. They were clearly divided into four waves.
.
In the center of the four waves, there is a luxurious carriage. It is estimated that the young lady mentioned by the old man should be in the carriage.
Around the carriage, there are figures standing neatly, wearing guard decorations, but the decorations have a big Yuan family written on them.
"These should be the guards of the Yuan family, they still have some strength." Ling Xiao secretly cursed in his heart. These guards are all seven-star warriors, and the three leading guard leaders have already reached the realm of nine-star warriors.
, such strength, placed in Kaiyuan City, is definitely a top existence, but in Ling Xiao's eyes, it is just good. Different visions, different things.
"Little brother, are you also here to participate in this mercenary mission? But little brother, you are so young, I'm afraid you will be ostracized." While Ling Xiao was inspecting the Yuan family's strength, an imposing voice suddenly sounded in Ling Xiao's voice.
rang in my ears.
Ling Xiao looked over in response, but he was a somewhat thin middle-aged man in his thirties. His early eight-star strength was 2c, which was considered a master among these people. Although he was observing the strength of the Yuan family,
, but it does not mean that Ling Xiao did not pay attention to the situation around him. Ling Xiao had naturally noticed this person for a long time, but he did not feel any malice, so Ling Xiao ignored him.
Now that everyone has spoken out, it would be rude for Ling Xiao to say nothing. Moreover, he was also a little confused about the mercenary mission, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother, what kind of mercenary mission is this?"
Although the middle-aged man was a little confused about what Ling Xiao was doing here if he wasn't here to take part in the mercenary mission, he still answered Ling Xiao's doubts. The Yuan family not only paid a lot of money to invite masters like Ling Xiao, but also hired mercenaries.
The union issued an S-class mercenary mission.
"So that's it. Although I didn't take the S-class mercenary mission, I was invited by the Yuan family to escort Miss Yuan family to Tianyuan City." Ling Xiao explained with a smile, "By the way, brother
, you said just now that I would be ostracized, so what do you say?"
"Haha, little brother, you and I are destined to be together. I will tell you carefully, brother." Immediately, this middle-aged man with early eight-star strength spoke to Ling Xiao.
It turns out that the four distinct groups that Ling Xiao saw just now represent four forces, three of which are the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group, the Burning Sky Mercenary Group, and the Fengyun Mercenary Group.
Among these three mercenary groups, only the Iron Blood Mercenary Group was hired in Kaiyuan City, while the remaining two mercenary groups were hired by the Yuan family from other cities.
Moreover, these three major mercenary groups have one thing in common, that is, they are all eight-star mercenary groups.
Iron-blooded mercenary group!
Ling Xiao touched his chin and said with a mysterious smile: "It seems that the bull that I destroyed yesterday is from this iron-blooded mercenary group."
As for the other wave, they are idle personnel. Just like Ling Xiao, they are just individual mercenaries and are not affiliated with any mercenary group. They often work alone. Compared with those mercenary groups,
The strength of these mercenaries who work alone is often much weaker.
The ones sent are always better than those casual cultivators. If it weren't for the fact that although the Yuan family released only S-level missions this time, the mission rewards were SSS-level and the rewards were rich, these mercenaries who worked alone would not have followed.
The mercenary group accepts such a mission together.
"Hey, that's not right. If you want to accept an S-level mission alone, you must at least be an eight-star mercenary. Could it be that these people are all eight-star mercenaries?" Ling Xiao asked curiously. The number of these people is as high as 100,000.
Among the thousands of idle mercenaries, there are not all masters, there are also several eight-star warriors, and there is even a nine-star warrior among them, but most of them are five- and six-star warriors or even lower three- and four-star warriors.
"Haha, I knew you would ask this, little brother." The middle-aged man in his thirties said with a hearty smile. He looked like he was also a casual person.
"It's like this. Although this mission is an S-level mercenary mission, the Yuan family already said when it released this mission that idle mercenaries working alone can accept this S-level mission no matter who they are or what level they are.
.”
Suddenly, Ling Xiao had a look of astonishment on his face. No wonder the number of people in one wave was obviously so much larger than that of the other three waves, but their strength was not that good.
After a slight twist of the brain, Ling Xiao also understood why the old man of the Yuan family issued such an order. This was simply to use those less powerful mercenaries as cannon fodder.
And I also understand what the middle-aged man said before. The unity ability among these idle personnel is definitely not as strong as that of the other three major mercenary groups, so they will definitely focus on high-end combat power. If the strength is too low, it is estimated that there will be
Being ostracized and treated as cannon fodder.
Of course, if you are dissatisfied, you can temporarily join the mercenary group, but obviously, the mercenaries of the mercenary group will definitely treat you as cannon fodder. They don't know each other anyway. It is natural to sacrifice strangers like you.
It's better than sacrificing one's own people.
Cannon fodder is also cannon fodder. People without strength are often destined to serve as cannon fodder. In this world where big fists are the truth, strength is everything, and it also strengthens Ling Xiao's heart to become stronger. Only strong
Only then can one stand on the top of all living beings and look down on the world!
"It seems, little brother, you have figured out the ins and outs of everything." Seeing Ling Xiao's stunned look, the man naturally knew that Ling Xiao had figured out everything.
"Now that my little brother has figured everything out, you should leave here as soon as possible. Otherwise, if they abandon you halfway, those thieves will not show mercy to you." Although the middle-aged man knew that Ling Xiao was Yuan
He was invited by his family, but he didn't think Ling Xiao was very powerful. Ling Xiao was just too young.
"Haha, thank you for your concern, brother, but how can a man break his promise to others? Since I have promised the Yuan family to protect his young lady, I naturally cannot abandon him like this." Ling Xiao said righteously.
Looking at the upright Ling Xiao, the middle-aged man's admiration arose spontaneously, and his favorable impression of Ling Xiao increased sharply. He cupped his fists and said: "Little brother Gaoyi, since the little brother has made this decision, brother, I
I won’t say anything else, but please be careful, little brother. If you need my help in any way, you can come to me.”
"Brother, don't worry. If I really need your help, I won't be polite." Although it is impossible for a small eight-star warrior to help Ling Xiao, the other party also has good intentions, and Ling Xiao does not.
It's a good way to satisfy the other party's feelings.
