A few years after the fourth year of the Magic Calendar, the small mercenary group was known as an important force that could not be ignored during the mainland war. During this period, whether it was Amy, Da Qingshan, Chi Aotian, Horns, Barba Chief officers such as Si, Mo Ye, and Long all once dominated the two continents as chief officers of an independent army, and they all had dazzling achievements.
At that time, the strangest thing for many people in power was that among the small mercenary groups, Sir Amy was not the best among them in terms of force, wisdom or commanding ability. Especially in terms of force, due to the presence of the sacred dragon With the intervention of Dia Hei Long, Chi Aotian and Da Qingshan's martial arts were infinitely amplified. As a first-level magician and a great swordsman, Amy is very strong in personal close combat, but with big Qingshan and Chi Aotian are simply incomparable. Even leaving aside the power of the dragon, in terms of force, the four teenagers are equally matched.
Under such circumstances, what power allowed Amy to firmly hold the position of leader in the mercenary profession, which is the most important to personal strength? Moreover, during this period, Amy also went missing. If in an ordinary mercenary group, , the leader is missing, and there will inevitably be a fight between several deputy leaders of equal strength.
In fact, it is not that no one is trying to divide the big cadres of the small mercenary group. Unfortunately, regardless of power, money, beauty..., Amy's cohesion is extremely amazing.
Some people also commented that Amy herself is very good at political maneuvering, and used the differentiated characteristics of the small mercenary group to cleverly form a balanced relationship: the grassroots cadres are all from the Ice and Snow Continent, and most of them are the children of her father, Pao Ze. It is difficult to obey the relationship of family friends. The orders of others. As for Da Qingshan, Chi Aotian and others cleverly balanced everyone's strength. Among them, Da Qingshan seemed to be the strongest after teaming up with his girlfriend Sha Ruo, but Da Qingshan's mounts Long Lu'er and Ai Mi has a close friendship with Amy, and it is impossible for him to be hostile to Amy. Needless to say, it is extremely difficult for others to replace Amy, even if they hope to obtain a position of power like Daqingshan. Moreover, Magister Lei Ge, one of the backers of the small mercenary group, is Amy is a mentor, and with the support of a great magician, her position is more stable.
At that time, some people said that Amy was a master of power only seen in a hundred years.

Chapter 58 Audacious
Late at night, the sleeping grass was suddenly woken up by someone. The stars were particularly bright in the sky after the rain, and the crescent moon hung high in the sky. The short chirping of bellbugs could be vaguely heard in the forest. The grass was stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "I haven't been so close to the forest for a long time." There was a vicissitude in his words that was inconsistent with his age.
"Mr. Cao Cao, it's your turn to keep vigil." The second-level magician reminded him kindly.
"Oh... I forgot, I'm so sorry." Cao Cao slowly straightened up and added the branches at hand to the fire, and the flames jumped high again.
"Mr. Mu Cao, why did you come to the underground guild to accept the mission? I have met several powerful people in the past, but they all serve in regular mercenary guilds, and their treatment is much better than that of the underground guild." The second-level mage said softly. question.
"Haha -" Maicao let out a faint melancholy, and his words were as brief as ever: "I am forced by things, and it is difficult to return home."
"Oh, those in this industry are all people who have too much time to take care of themselves. I can't say anything to help you, I can only wish you the best." Like most gray mercenaries, the magician's words are very direct.
"I understand, you can rest and leave it to me." Caicao has completely woken up from his sleep.
"Micao, what do you think is the probability of our success this time?" the mage asked in a low voice.
"Almost zero. I'm very surprised as to why you took this mission. In the end, you gave everyone the feeling that you were extremely confident in completing this mission." The soldier showed a careful side.
The corners of Magician Chefalang's mouth curved slightly: "This kind of mission is rare. It's just gambling. If we gamble, we can make a lot of money. If we lose, we will leave. If we win, we can earn more than 200.
If you lose, you only need to pay 20 gold coins. The difference is 10 times. Do you think I would gamble? It is too difficult to make money, and this opportunity is too rare."
"You are not afraid of getting lost in the forest. You must know that you can only see the elf children when you enter the village." The soldier was a little confused.
"Haha, I see that I don't often appear in the fairy forest." Master Chefalang couldn't tell the exact age of the grass for a while, but he vaguely felt that he was younger than himself: "As a race of elves, generally speaking, most people are
Xi Jing, quite a few elves have never left the fairy forest in their entire lives. However, there are also a small number of elves who are active and curious. They will even enter human society and live for a period of time after their coming-of-age ceremony. And these elves, in the end,
There are three destinations: either you get tired of the human scenery and return to the fairy forest; or you remain semi-acceptant of human society and choose to live in the place where the fairy forest meets humans. Some new fairy villages are even born in these places -
It is said that the prairie elves gradually separated from the elves in this kind of village to the Flower Language Plain; there are also very few elves who even married humans and eventually lived in human cities." Master Chefalang waved his hand and chased away those who came out for activities.
Mosquito continued: "A few of my friends and I know that there are at least 10 elven villages at the border of the Fairy Forest and the Flower Plain, so we went to try our luck this time."
"Oh..." The grass warrior frowned slightly: "This mission is really disgraceful, but fortunately we don't have to do anything. You can go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow."
The mage also had many questions in his mind, but he saw that Mu Cao didn't want to talk, so he couldn't force it.
On summer mornings, the sun rises very early. At three o'clock in the morning, the sky in the east has turned slightly white, and the constant chirping of early birds can be heard from the woods. It is not yet bright, and the mercenaries are all up -
In the mercenary career, if you want to live longer, you must exercise frequently. If you don't do this, if you encounter danger, you may lose your life because your movements are slow for a moment. Every mercenary
He found a quiet place outside the forest and relaxed his body. The mage tried to communicate with the magic elves. The last vigil at night was grass. He lay next to the campfire and used a stick to dig out the kindling buried in the ashes and ignited the tinder.
I lit a fire, mixed some water with yesterday's leftover soup, and made breakfast for everyone.
After breakfast, we hit the road again. As we walked, Master Chefalang briefly introduced the itinerary on the road. According to the master, at least the next two days will be spent on the journey. The Fairy Forest is about 200 miles east-west and takes three days.
After that, just after entering the edge of the fairy forest, the number of elves in these places far exceeds that of humans.
After knowing their destination, the mercenaries moved very quickly.
On the afternoon of the third day, the eight-person mercenary group arrived at the first elf village.
Different from human villages, the houses in elven villages are not high. All the roofs are made of thatched grass and are pointed. The walls of the houses are made of bamboo or wood. Perhaps it is because the soil is very fertile.
You can see tender green sprouts on the wood inserted into the ground on all the walls. The floor of the house is 50 centimeters from the ground, and the entire floor is mounted on two rows of bamboo frames. The Master explained to everyone in a low voice that the most important thing is to do this.
The reason is to prevent moisture and snakes and insects. Half of the village is hidden in the forest, and you can obviously feel that the houses in that part of the village are very quiet.
Before entering the village, the mage repeatedly emphasized that he must not conflict with the villagers head-on. These elves are still extremely powerful warriors when they are 1,000 years old and declining. A small group of only eight people... What the mage did not finish is very clear.
It's simply not enough to give these eight or nine hundred year old elf grandparents a beating.
After entering the village, the eyes of several young warriors almost fell off. Compared with human girls, the elf women here can only be described as "top quality" in two words - they are extremely slim, and every move and even walk needs to be elegant.
To describe it, the appearance is exquisite and beautiful. Although the clothes are very simple, it brings out the elegant and pure temperament of the girls. Facing the rarely seen human visitors, the girls show innocent and curious smiles, and their small faces almost constitute
The young mercenary could hardly walk. Huanyang smiled and nodded to every smiling face. Muhammad was so surprised that he could only speak his native language: "beautiful, very beautiful!"
Even a steady knight like White's eyes hurt from the pricks from the girls, and he could only keep touching his forehead with his hands to cover up his nervousness.
Fortunately, after being reminded by several adults, the young people noticed that these girls were carrying short bows of less than one meter - everyone knew that the most famous archers in the world came from the elven tribe.
.Although roses are extremely beautiful, the thorns hidden underneath are unacceptable to most people.
What makes the middle-aged magician and the shadow man strange is that Cao Cao, who seems to be visiting the elf village for the first time, is not moved by the beauty in front of him at all. After every girl appears, the warrior's red eyes will glance at her.
, and then looked at the next one with disappointment. Could it be that such a beautiful girl could not satisfy this very rough-looking man? The film maker curled his lips, and the unsaid words were obvious: "Narcissist, stinky...
…”
This village is the elf village closest to the Flower Language Plain, so it is a must-stop for both elves and humans. At fixed times every year, human business travelers come to do business, bringing salt, tobacco, grain, ironware, and copper.
Mirrors and other items, and before leaving, he took away more handicrafts produced in the elven villages and beautiful feathers and gems abundant in the forest. In order to accommodate these aliens, there was a very large bamboo house at the outermost part of the village. When there were guests,
It is used for guests to rest, and when there are no guests, it is a place for the teenagers in the village to play.
When the eight-man group of Chefalang mercenaries arrived at the bamboo house, they realized that they had just caught up with the Shang season that came with summer, and there were many carriages lined up outside the house. After a brief conversation with the merchants, they realized why there were so many
Beautiful girl elves, they all come from the forest to choose the trinkets they like. Otherwise, how could there be so many girls of the right age in a small village of more than 200 people. The merchants also specifically reminded that if they do not get the consent of the girls,
And if you try to do anything, your death will be ugly. The three young warriors in the eight-man mercenary group all had slightly embarrassed looks on their faces.
At night, outside the big house, the merchants lit a blazing bonfire, and the elves laughed in the distance as they watched the humans chatting together. Even in such a small village seasonal hotel, there are bards.
When these bards came to ask everyone to order songs, everyone discovered that these taller elves were obviously prairie elves, and as we all know, prairie elves are the most professional bards.
Huyang was only 19 years old, and among all the humans present, he was also the youngest. The young man obviously preferred novelty, so he immediately picked up the song book and went to look for it under the campfire. Soon, the young man closed the book with some disappointment: "Why?
These are all old songs. Do you have any new songs? I heard a newer song in Fairy Flower, which is about a small mercenary group. It seems to be a song from the latest mission they completed - Dragon War.
Do you have any?"
Bards are the fastest to spread news. Even so, the three elves still shook their heads: "This is a recent thing. We just saw the text, but we haven't got the tune yet. Can you change it to another one?"
"Then I still want to listen to their "Evil Dragon Sings the Wind"." The young man said as he took out a silver coin.
"Hey... Hunyang, are you done yet? Why do you listen to the same song every day? My ears are almost numb. Can I change it?" White said with a smile in the distance.
"No, maybe Brother Forage and the others haven't heard of it yet? Try it again." The young man knew that the mercenaries were taking care of him and didn't care about White's opinion at all.
Mu Cao said calmly as usual: "I suggest changing it to something else. If it doesn't work, just change it to the Oasis of Life of the great elf magician Les Link. The small mercenary group really doesn't have anything good to say, it's all fake."
"Who said that? How could the small mercenary group be fake?" This time it wasn't just Hueyang, several young soldiers also showed a strong attitude.
Ma Cao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The small mercenary group relied on some good luck and some dead brothers to exchange their lives for two defensive victories. There is really nothing to mention about the rest."
"Impossible." Hunyang jumped up anxiously.
"Haha, Mu Cao, don't tease him anymore. This little guy from Hueyang comes from a noble family. He ran away from home to become a mercenary because he heard the legend of a small mercenary group in a bar. You are slandering his idol like this.
His energy and blood are so strong that his heart is beating like thunder, and he might have to fight. If you say he can't beat you, then who should we help?" The magician smiled in the distance to mediate the small dispute.
Mu Cao took off the big sword from behind, brought a step chair over, and lay down comfortably. Then he raised his head and said to the young Hunyang: "As long as you do well enough, you may be better than them. I believe you can challenge
anyone."
The bard's bagpipe played softly, and a girl's clear voice soared into the moonlit night sky: "Dragon-slaying hero, your figure is soaring on the top of the mountain like an eagle, and your story is left in the sky like a shooting star.
The most brilliant moment..." Maicao seemed to remember something, and looked up at the late night sky to find something, with a look of dumbfounding on his face.
As the head of the mercenary organization, the mage calmly found an elf he knew before and started chatting casually. From the recent situation in the village, the current living standards of the residents, including the situation of the children...
While listening to the mage talking about the children, Mu Cao suddenly found a small white hand beside his ear. The agility of the warrior's hard training was immediately displayed. He put his right hand under his head and immediately clasped it tightly.
After holding the opponent's wrist, hearing the delicate and touching exclamation from the owner of the hand, the strength that had been prepared for use in Cao Cao's hand dissipated.
Caicao turned around and saw a smiling face right next to him in the dark night.
Obviously beyond the warrior's expectation, Mu Cao was stunned for a moment before speaking: "Little guy, does it hurt?" It turned out that behind Mu Cao lay a little girl about 6 or 7 years old in human age - it was
Elf, with hemp-colored hair pulled back, pointed ears, and a pointed smile. However, it seems that the child's hand was hurt by being held just now, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly. Mu Cao also noticed this, and carefully
He picked up the little girl's wrist, blew and rubbed it gently, and said Qian: "Little guy, I was startled by you just now. My hand is too strong, does it hurt?"
The little girl shook her head and said in a sweet voice: "It doesn't hurt. Uncle, you are so powerful, better than other uncles and uncles I know. I just want to touch your sword, oh... it's so big, better than me."
The uncles use them all, hey... They talk about how powerful they are every day... Uncle, can you fight with them? I think you are more powerful than them."
Mu Cao couldn't help but smile. He didn't know whether the little girl's uncle was a human. Most elves used bows, and only true warrior elves could use scimitars and swords. In front of the little elf girl, Mu Cao seemed to talk more:
"Hey, little guy, what's your name? Tell uncle."
"Mom calls me Spirit Baby." The little girl's big eyes blinked in the night.
"Oh..." Mu Cao took out both swords from under his body: "Lingbaby, see for yourself, be careful not to scratch your hands, otherwise, your mother will accuse me."
The baby spirit stretched out his hand and carefully touched the hilt of the long sword: "Uncle, what is this? It's so cold... It's so good, so fun."
Caicao took a look and saw that the little girl was touching a bead - this thing is relatively common in the frozen continent. It is a kind of cold iron ore produced in the Dragon Tooth Mountains. It is generally round, with a rare
Emerald green, very beautiful. Besides being beautiful, the biggest feature of this kind of beads is that they are cold.
Listening to the child's screams of joy, Maicao smiled and shook his head. For people who live in the tropics all year round, the coldness brought by this bead is really rare. Looking at the child's smiling face, Maicao touched it from his arms.
A necklace was taken out, and then he took out a dagger from his boot, dug out the cold iron bead on the hilt, untied the necklace and strung it with a cold jade bead.
"Baby, we are destined to meet each other. My uncle gave it to you." He said and hung it around the little girl's neck.
"Uh-uncle, what are these blue, green and white things?" The little girl touched the small ornaments on the necklace.
"Oh... these are the teeth of beasts living on the frozen continent. Don't look at me like that. I don't want to kill them, but they want to kill uncle. At that time, uncle was not much older than you. There was no way, otherwise it would
Eat me, or I'll eat it." While stroking the little girl's long, smooth hair, Cao Cao opened her big mouth like an animal eating a human.
"Spirit baby, spirit baby..." Several elves outside the circle shouted.
"Someone is calling you. Go quickly." Mu Cao pushed the little girl out and watched blankly as several adult elves pulled the little girl and disappeared into the forest. He opened his mouth to say something but finally let out a long silent sigh.
Lying down again.
There was a noise in the distance, and it looked like someone was coming. The mercenaries and businessmen all put their hands on their weapons calmly, and among the figures were the businessmen who were responsible for guarding the outer businessmen and another group of mercenaries.
Came in.
Everyone in Master Chefalang's mercenary group was stunned. The mercenaries who came were actually the gray mercenaries who often appeared in Fairy Flowers. The only exception among them was the young man in white who fought against Warrior White three days ago.
The frightening spear was still held behind the young man's back. The other party was also slightly startled. The leader was a big man who obviously knew Chifalang himself. The two sides said hello and sat down.
It is not easy for mercenaries to inquire about each other's missions, especially in gray mercenary rooms. Quite a few missions are illegal. Two groups of mercenaries appearing in the same place are very likely to have exactly the opposite purpose, hehe...
It would be weird if they didn't start the fight. It doesn't matter if they start fighting first. If the employer doesn't recognize it, then it would be unjust.
Hunyang happened to be leaning next to Maicao. The young noble had a natural respect for the strong. He quietly introduced to Maicao the few mercenaries who had just arrived: "Among them, the original four are very powerful in Fairy Flowers."
, like us, it is the organization with the highest mission completion rate in the area and the most likely to be directly incorporated into the B-level and above mercenary groups. The big man who leads it is said to have been the captain of a small principality knights. Later, the principality was forced to disarm.
They lost their iron jobs, and the remaining three were all friends who were in a knight order at that time, and there seemed to be a priest. They were very strong. Although they had only been in the order for 2 years, the compensation was already the highest. It turns out that we had completed a project together.
Task."
"Oh..." No matter what Maicao heard, he would always look half-dead even when he was arguing with others. If they hadn't seen his skills, everyone would have wondered how there could be such a person among his mercenary companions.
The night is getting deeper...the number of elves in the periphery is decreasing.
The house was already full of businessmen. The two mercenary groups who came late were definitely going to camp out at night. The elves watching gradually left. The mercenaries set up an iron pot and heated up some unknown meat.
Pork, the kind business traveler unloaded some condiments and meat skewers from the car and threw them over - we are all away from home, it is always good to have an extra friend, especially these mercenaries who look very powerful, maybe
It will help that day.
The crescent moon was close to the zenith again. The mages and priests were all very weak. They had been tired for a day, and they started to make a faint sound soon after eating.
Suddenly, the sky in the southwest gradually became brighter - this change was extremely surprising in the middle of the night. The mercenaries who were not asleep noticed something strange. The mercenaries who were already sleeping were woken up by being slapped, and everyone jumped up.
The young man had even drawn his weapon.
Chefalang and the two priests chanted softly, and a flickering white light appeared under their feet, and their bodies slowly floated... We haven't entered the forest yet, so we can still use magic.
In fact, there was no need for mages and priests to say anything else. Everyone already knew the answer from the flames that were gradually rising into the sky - fire. The fairy forest actually ignited flames that were soaring into the sky. This is a very serious problem, not to mention the fire.
What kind of harm will it cause to the elves? Every tree in the elf forest is regarded by the elves as their relatives. The consequences of burning relatives can be imagined.
The sleeping elves were also awakened. Almost every elf was a born magician. After a moment, hundreds of elves were floating in the sky. The elves' eyesight was much better than that of humans. After falling to the ground again,
The elves quickly put on short bows and short armor. The elf chief sent the most elite warriors in the clan to the nearest elf cave. If you enter the elf world through the elf cave, you can learn from the elf queen what happened.
matter.
In fact, it is no longer needed. The elves who set out have not gone 200 meters, and countless forest elves have appeared from the depths of the dense forest.
What shocked the mercenaries and merchants was that these newly appeared elves showed great hostility.
Most of the elves held long or short bows and arrows in their hands. The arrow feathers were already on the bow strings, and the arrow tips were undoubtedly pointed at the mercenaries.
In the dark night, under the reflection of the bonfire, the arrow tip made of white steel danced with the flames of death.
In the middle of the crowd of bow and arrow elves were an old elf and two young elves. Judging from the fluttering robes of the old elf, he was at least the level of a great magician, while the two young elves who had given up their expertise in bows and arrows held long swords and scimitars in their hands.
.
The Elf World can be large or small. In the Elf World, both the Elf Queen and the Elf Magister can travel through space at will, and even directly step into the Elf World from the Elf Forest. However, ordinary elves can only enter with the permission of the Elf Queen.
Elf world. Through the Elf world, elves can reach other places across 100 miles of physical space in an instant. Obviously, these elves got here through this mode.
"Human! Put down the weapons in your hands!" A low voice came from an elf's mouth, and everyone felt the anger of the elf.
As a mercenary, although we all know that we must not have a head-on conflict with the elves in the fairy forest, otherwise there will be no chance of escape. But no mercenary can stand still when faced with a sword, let alone
There was still something wrong in my heart, but before the two captains could speak, the warriors' swords were unsheathed and they raised their shields high to protect the mages and priests at their core.
"Bold! Despicable humans, how dare you come to the hometown of elves to kidnap children! Everyone will be punished for their dirty intentions!" Seeing the human mercenaries trying to resist, the elf magician's silver-white beard trembled slightly, and he raised his hands and feet.
You can vaguely see the brewing magic spirit in the middle - the magician is extremely angry.
The old man slowly raised his hand: "Put down your weapons now and obey the orders and you may be able to escape death, otherwise..."
The elf elders have absolute authority among the elves, and all the elves in the elf village pointed their bows and arrows at the mercenaries...
