In the Xihai Kingdom, there was a long convoy, with carriages and horses stretching for thousands of miles. The carriages were pulled by the gray barren land reindeer unique to the north. Because the north was not destroyed by the natural disaster, this kind of hardy and hungry northern reindeer were able to withstand bitter cold and hunger.
There are many herdsmen's ranches, and they are very useful when assembled. However, their endurance is average and their fighting ability is weak, so next to the long team is a long food protection team.
4223 grain trucks and 60 supervision vehicles were arranged in the middle of the convoy. More than 300 people from the True Flame Mercenary Group rode Northland White Bears, holding snow wolves in their hands.
Wearing a thick scarf and a warm dog-skin hat, the hat is covered with various helmets.
"The reward this time must be higher than the previous times. For such a big battle, at least each person will be given dozens of gold coins more." Tang Fu is the talkative one in the team, his thick beard was blurred by the snow, but he still
Unable to shut his mouth, he looked back and forth. Everyone else had their heads lowered. Braving the wind and snow, he took a sip of strong wine and saw that no one was paying attention, so he started singing a folk song.
"Hey, can you please be quiet?" A head popped out of the truck and cursed with a sleepy look on his face: "I'm sleeping, can you shut up and stop talking?"
"..." Tang Fu thought that the other party was his employer, so he had to endure this tone, slowed down, and came to Liszt's side.
Liszt is another captain of the True Flame. He has a rope holding the Snow Wolf tied around his waist: "Last month, three grain transport teams were robbed. I heard that the losses were not much, but they are still afraid. This
We have assembled a large team of more than 4,000 vehicles and several thousand people in total, so it is estimated that not many people will dare to come and die."
In addition to the True Flame Mercenary Group, there are also members of the Dark Night Blue Soul in the food protection team. A man named Jiawen, nicknamed Armored Swordsman, followed the other side of the food team and said to this side: "This time we are transporting winter food.
There were only one batch of several thousand trucks, but there were many such teams one after another transporting to the south. There was a catastrophic disaster, and the affected areas had no harvest. Without this food, the victims would not be able to survive the winter. Then there would be chaos.
."
Tang Fu was looking for someone to chat with. He pushed up the hat on his forehead and asked, "When will the dark weather in the south get better? I heard that the Holy Garden will not launch any artificial sun salvation plan.
I know what’s going on, but there hasn’t been any movement for so long.”
"Who knows." Jiawen's slender body was riding on a war horse, and the long sword on his belt bumped as the horse moved: "We invited a lot of people to find some elemental spirits before, and our group also sent people there."
"What's wrong?" Tang Fu looked at him with a sad look on his face.
Jiawen sighed: "The loss is not small, and the elemental spirit has not been caught. The people in the group said that the thing is too unstable and powerful, and it might explode by itself. Otherwise, why would we be sent to participate in food protection? That's the way it is.
We don’t like this mission, it’s because of the heavy losses and the high price of food protection that we came here.”
Tang Fu became curious and asked: "How much do they charge you?"
"Well, I can't tell you the specifics. Anyway, I got 800 silver coins a day, and I got 3,000 silver coins a day. After one trip, there is another fee." Jiawen said truthfully.
Liszt interjected: "There are more than 130 of you here, you can get a lot in one trip."
Tang Fu said angrily: "Why do you give me only 450 coins a day, and my subordinates only get 300 coins a day? The difference is too big! In terms of strength, even if it is not as good as you, it is at least much stronger than most of your subordinates. I
It's actually hundreds less than them."
Jiawen straightened his back and said proudly: "You and I have different teams. Of course, the price of an A-level mercenary group is higher."
"Hmph, I have to argue with them later. The difference can't be this big." Tang Fu is from the Kingdom of Ashan. He was a militiaman. After working for 22 years, he also became a commander of the militia joint defense.
, originally there was chaos all over the place right now, and it was the time when they were busy with the militia, but unfortunately there were several hungry children at home who were waiting for money and food. Prices rose, and the amount of money distributed became less. They said it was to prevent bandits, but it was too much.
He recruited some militiamen, but the total amount of money given to the militiamen by several villages and towns was not only not much, but less. He had no choice but to find another way to make money. In the end, becoming a mercenary was not much better. Until a few days ago
A few months ago, he joined True Flame's team and participated in food protection, and his income stabilized. Therefore, he calculated the amount of income more carefully.
After several expansions and mergers, the True Flame Mercenary Group is now renamed the True Flame Mercenary Group.
A few people chatted together without saying a word. Junker, another captain of the Real Flame Mercenary Group in front, retreated to the back and said to Tang Fu and Liszt: "There is bad news. There is something wrong with the town where we plan to stay today."
Something happened. It was destroyed by a group of monsters. I just found out on the road that everyone in the town has fled."
Tang Fu said depressedly: "What should we do? There are only a few people in Xihai country, so we have to walk a lot of miles to find a town or village. Didn't the female mage predict that there would be a heavy snowstorm in the afternoon? It seems that we have to brave the wind.
Snow is rushing to the next place to stay."
Jiawen said with a smile: "There is no one in the town, so wouldn't it be a good place for us to rest? This is a large plain. I looked at the map earlier and saw that there is no place nearby to escape the wind and snow, so we can only go to the town..."
As they were talking, the more than 60 wolves and dogs led by the several hundred members of the Real Flame Mercenary Group raised their ears and looked in one direction, and began to roar.
The people in the food team realized something was wrong, and someone immediately released birds such as snow eagles and ghost falcons to observe the situation. Originally, for a team as big as theirs, there should always be many birds keeping a lookout, but now the wind and snow are also strong, and the birds
Flying for a long time will make you tired, so I only left two birds in the sky above the team, but I didn't find anything in the air.
At this moment, there were many flying birds in the sky, and some people flew into the air to observe. Immediately, a blue-bellied ghost falcon whistled, and a large monster with a red back moved quickly towards this side through the deep snow.
"There is a monster attack, there is a monster attack..." The reconnaissance sentry flying in the air gave a warning, then blew the whistle and gave instructions in the direction from which the monster came.
"Is it a guy in the wild or a robber?" The people below were more concerned about the nature of the attack. At the same time, the people hired by the True Flame and Dark Night Blue Soul mercenary groups drew their swords and prepared to deal with the invading enemy.
A man riding a snowy griffin in the sky suddenly saw a black shadow flying between the white sky and the earth. He quickly picked up his binoculars and saw a man wearing a mask and wearing a sword.
The man in the cloak rushed towards him at a very fast speed. He watched helplessly as the man grew bigger in the telescope. When he put down the telescope in panic, the man had already flown less than 300 meters away. He drew his sword and
Shouting: "There is an enemy attack, the enemy is attacking..." His shout was not so clear in the wind and snow. According to the preset, if it was a gangster attack, he should immediately blow the police whistle three times in a row. Maybe he was frightened for a moment.
He forgot that before he could blow the whistle three times, someone from the air was already in front of him, tearing open the sentry's breastplate and piercing his chest with his sharp claws.
