"Don't be impulsive," Watts' eyes flickered, "Didn't you notice? No one from the Dark Executioner came out. Also, on the way here, I got news that Princess Elizabeth also hired someone from the Blood Demon Hand to deal with it.
That kid. But now look at Sandra..."
Old Barno followed Watts' gaze and looked at him, his expression suddenly condensed.
Watts said quietly: "A total of thousands of people went in during this abyss exploration. Less than half came out, and all of these people were applauding that kid. I'm afraid things are not simple."
"Those despicable mercenaries..." Old Bano breathed heavily.
Although he was cursing, he was no longer as impulsive as before. After suppressing his emotions, he seemed to have discovered something unusual. His eyes searched around the queue of survivors, and his expression became a little strange.
"How come no one from the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group is missing?"
"Oh?" Watts also looked at it.
Watts was not familiar with the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group. However, he knew that the Bano family was engaged in the weapons business and had to deal with various forces in many places. In the south of the empire, the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group was definitely a powerful force in terms of both strength and power.
A partner whose way of doing things is very much in line with Lao Banno's taste.
For example, three years ago, when the Bano family annexed a well-known and large-scale weapons merchant guild in the Saxony province, they secretly cooperated with the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group. In the end, they were forced by the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group through various underhanded methods.
Next, the president of that chamber of commerce suddenly died suddenly, and the family was torn apart, allowing the Bano family to succeed.
Therefore, Old Barno has a very close relationship with the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group. Both the leader Mark and the deputy leader Morton have been honored guests of the Barno family for many years.
On their way to Lulian this time, Watts and Old Barno heard that the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group had become the largest force among the mercenary groups exploring the abyss. They came out in full force, sending a total of more than a dozen mercenary groups.
.The strongest experts in the group are gathered among them, and the team is personally led by the deputy leader, Paladin Morton.
Such a force can easily destroy a medium-sized mercenary group or capture a less powerful marquisdom overnight.
At that time, old Bano also said that if he had known that the boy would go to the abyss, he would not have needed to hire a dark executioner. He only needed to tell Morton that the boy would die even if he had a hundred lives.
However, now he discovered that not only the killers of the Dark Executioners were missing, but not even a single person from the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group was seen.
This is a little weird.
You know, there are a dozen teams and a team of nearly 200 people.
No matter how dangerous the abyss was, it was impossible for most of the other mercenary groups to survive, but they were so unlucky that their entire army was wiped out.
"What now?" Old Barno asked.
Watts frowned, his eyes fell on Roy, he shook his head and said to Old Barno: "Look again..."
####
Surrounded by the overwhelming applause, Roy was a little confused.
Turning around, he saw dense crowds of people all around. Countless soldiers with blood, mud and sweat still on their bodies were standing on the grass, on the hillsides, and on the ridges, filling the entire valley with water.
Next to him, more than 400 surviving mercenaries who had just separated from him were lined up in two rows, forming a passage, applauding and cheering for him.
Those smiling faces and pairs of smiling eyes are full of kindness, warmth, gratitude, respect and a hint of jealousy. They are like a group of playmates who have secretly agreed to give a surprise to a friend celebrating his birthday.
Just like the audience in the opera house who stood up to pay tribute to a wonderful and great performance.
Before he could recover, Landero, who was at the front of the queue, had already strode up.
"Thanks!"
Landero gave Roy a hug and said in his ear: "We had already discussed this when we came out. Before we repay your life-saving grace, let us express our gratitude and respect in this way.
.Leo, you are the best mercenary I have ever seen."
After speaking, Landero patted Roy on the shoulder and retreated.
Next up were Larry, Franco, Tusu, Lacios, Af and other team mates who had fought alongside him all the way. Even Lake, who was still recovering, was lying on a stretcher, weak.
smiled at him.
Possessed and hugged Lake, Roy continued to walk forward.
More than four hundred mercenaries came up one after another. Wood, Olivia, Jacob, Xia Zuo, Sanchez, Sandra, Spengler...
"Thanks!"
Everyone hugged Roy.
It takes a long time to hug the more than 400 surviving mercenaries one by one.
At this moment, a group of impatient lords and nobles, mercenary captains, chamber of commerce presidents, and strong men from the sanctuary had already swarmed up and surrounded Landero and others who were in front.
"Can you tell us now what happened?" Bo Long, the leader of the Ice Star Mercenary Group, grabbed Landreau and asked, "What happened to the ruins of the abyss? What happened? Why did those demons suddenly retreat?
?Also, how did you escape? What did that kid do..."
A series of questions, urgent and fast, each one is exactly what everyone is eager to know.
In the eyes of everyone, Landro said: "It's a long story to say. As you know, we fell into the devil's trap when we explored the abyss ruins this time..."
As Landreaux narrated and the mercenaries added, soon, a thrilling battle in the abyss emerged before everyone's eyes.
From how everyone fell into a trap and was captured by the magic circle in the huge garden, to how everyone was hunted by hordes of abyss demons, and how they escaped in a bloody battle, to how they trapped the guardian tower in despair, everything...
Each one of them made everyone's hearts tremble with fear.
Many people's faces turned pale. They looked at each other with fear in their eyes.
Ever since they knew that the discovery of the abyss ruins was a trap, everyone has imagined countless times what happened to these mercenaries in the abyss. However, they still did not expect that the situation would be so dangerous.
Before arriving at the abyss ruins, nearly two-fifths of the mercenaries died or disappeared. After finding the ruins, a magic pattern array sent more than 600 mercenaries directly into a huge dark garden.
Became the prey of thousands of demons.
At least more than one hundred and fifty mercenaries were hunted and killed, and their flesh and blood became sacrifices for the demons to break through the restrictions of the abyss. And just these demons who broke out of the blood sacrifice passage almost made everyone collapse. But
One can imagine how difficult the situation for these mercenaries who were divided and surrounded was at that time.
What makes people feel respect is that the mercenaries trapped in the guard tower chose to destroy their own bodies. They did not let the devil get even a drop of blood from them.
Adolf and Fano looked solemn. The noble lords and military generals beside them couldn't help but straighten their bodies and looked at the mercenaries with eyes full of admiration. They now finally understood why the devil's blood sacrifice passage was delayed.
Couldn't be transformed into the Gate of Hell.
All this is because of the sacrifice of the heroic mercenaries.
