"Ha... Thank you to the merciful Lord. However, I got the news late this time. I worked hard to get some fresh goods from the southwest and wanted to send them here. But... I didn't know that the weather had changed here until yesterday. I can't wait to see it now.
We have dealt with everything here and minimized losses. I can’t help the old brothers anymore.” Old Tom bowed and gave a circle salute.
"What's new? Take it out and take a look. Maybe it will help you digest it." Someone immediately spoke up.
"It's nothing. I got some supplies from that beautiful blond magic commander. Thank you to the merciful Lord." Old Tom said as he took off two weapons from the back of the adventurer beside him, one was a knife, and this one
The sword is completely different from the standard saber. The blade is less than half a meter long, and there is a 1-meter-long blade behind the blade. The other one is a long-handled scythe, which is something that can only be seen in oil paintings during the magic revival period.
.
The adventurers immediately lost interest. Small mercenary groups had no use for such long weapons. Moreover, these army standard weapons may have been obtained. If the army of Alcatraz Island occupied this place in the future, they would definitely not be able to deal with it.
.
"This guy seems quite interesting. Also, pay attention to the big men with their faces covered behind him. They seem to be... too strong. Their arms are several times thicker than those of Berserkers." Amy whispered to Da Qingshan.
He muttered, then turned to Qing Luo and said, "Elder, go try and see if you can join them. Anyway, we have to complete the mission."
Obviously, this old Tom is a local snake. If he can join this caravan, he might be able to easily sneak into the circular waterway through them.
The gold-coated iron mercenary is nothing more than a gold-lettered signboard. Plus, it doesn't charge any fees. No caravan will refuse such a good thing.
As expected, Elder Qingluo whispered a few words and then took out his mercenary diary. As expected, Old Tom was shaken, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. Then, Qingluo came back with a smile to deliver the task.
The sky had just turned white the next day, and most of the adventurers had already gotten up. Qingluo led his team members and met Old Tom's caravan at the door of the bar.
I'd have known that it wouldn't be easy to get the iron covered with gold, but Old Tom was shocked by almost everyone in Qingluo's team!
The first thing that caught his eye was of course the dwarf knight Bronze Hammer holding his mount. The appearance of the big pangolin beast immediately reminded Old Tom of the national treasure of the mountain dwarf kingdom. There has never been a place for dwarf knights on the battle soul list, that's because
The dwarf knights never leave the ground. If they really come out in full force, I'm afraid there won't be any other races on the fighting spirit list. Then Old Tom saw the Queen of Lingbao. Every forest elf royal family has their blood.
Because of the veins, the wood magic elves will be greatly attracted to the wood magic elves. It happened to be early in the morning, and we could clearly see the wood magic elves breaking away from the trees in various forms and gently jumping into the body of Her Majesty the Queen... This
It has obviously surpassed the level of a great magician, and is most likely a wood magician. Moreover, Her Majesty the Queen is also following a monster that no one has ever seen before, which adds to Her Majesty's mystery.
As we all know, dwarves and forest elves represent the two extreme powers of force and magic respectively in the world of creation. Dwarf knights and elf magisters are the pinnacle of these two extreme powers. They are seen here at the same time.
In addition to the dwarf knight and the elf magister, there is another young man with a small dragon tattooed on his sleeve. If this young man who looks less than 20 years old is not fooling around, then he will be a dragon knight... less than 20 years old.
Only the four major aristocratic families could have such strength for a 20-year-old dragon knight. The appearance of Sha Ruo also surprised Old Tom. At this time, Sha Ruo,
After going through too many trials and hardships, he has almost reached the second level as a priest. He displays the unique elegance and nobility of clergy in every move and every move. He only said a few words casually, but he also quoted scriptures. It is reasonable for a priest of this level to do so.
They had already been recalled by the church, and their appearance here immediately doubled the strength of this iron-clad mercenary team.
In comparison, Da Qingshan and Amy, who were also wearing masks, looked inconspicuous. Among the mercenaries, the most indispensable thing was the swordsman with big muscles and round waist.
"Mr. Mingyan, are all your teammates mercenaries? Those who accompany Goshawk are not sparrows. I wonder what their mercenary levels are?" Old Tom asked with a smile.
This is to find out the bottom of the war, and there are a few of them who are always on the defensive. This approach is not considered careless.
"You're welcome, sir. Thanks to the captain's care, we have mixed up in the past few years." As she said this, Amy took out her mercenary diary...
The most inconspicuous one among the seven people is actually a well-known person. From the sound of his voice, he is still a young man. The gold content of this mercenary team is probably only comparable to that of the S-class Golden Dragon Knights. Hehe, of course they don't know
, several other people who look very powerful are quite inferior in terms of mercenary qualifications, but the two people who look the most powerful are actually a pair of clean whiteboards.
"Mr. Mingyan, if it weren't for troubled times, with the strength of you and your teammates, I believe we could create an A-level mercenary group within 10 years. Now, it's such a pity." Old Tom shook his head as he spoke. Old Tom understood this.
The plight of mercenaries.
After entering the War of the Gods, in order to avoid large-scale armed rebellion and to enhance their military strength, the empires took effective measures to recruit mercenary organizations within their territory, including the five major mercenary groups, which eventually became the country's military force. A large number of B
The mercenary regiments below the level were completely integrated and organized into the regular army.
However, after years of war, the empires sealed their borders and used all their military forces for frontal wars. This led to the rise of thieves across the Pan-Continent. Under such circumstances, the demand for mercenaries was greatly increased. In such a strange circle
Now, mercenary remuneration has increased more than five times compared to before the war.
This led to a strange phenomenon: a large number of high-level and even super-level mercenaries left their respective mercenary groups and reorganized new mercenary groups with 10 to 30 people. Most of these mercenaries had previously been working in major mercenaries.
He holds a high position in the corps, and now there is a strong alliance, and the network resources are extremely extensive, so the income is very objective. In addition, catching up with the good times, there are a lot of retired mercenary monsters
He came out of the mountain again and started earning money to lick his blood.
In order to avoid attracting the attention of several warring parties, when the level of the new mercenary group approaches D level, these high-level mercenaries will not hesitate to disband the mercenary group and re-establish a G-level mercenary group.
Qing Luo smiled and shook his head, and changed the subject as he walked: "Brother, you come here often, is there any good way to enter the boundary forest?" Qing Luo felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he vaguely saw the entourage behind Old Tom.
He felt that there seemed to be evil power hidden inside. However, since it was Amy's arrangement, he couldn't say anything and just stood firmly in front of Her Majesty the Queen.
"Before, there was no problem. Not to mention just a few dozen people. I could easily get in with an escort team of more than 200 people at a time. Now things have changed, and many things are hard to say."
At noon, the location where the adventurers were standing was already very close to the mainland highway. The biggest change was that the forest was getting brighter and brighter, and there were fewer branches and leaves above the head - before the war, there must have been active logging teams in this area. Right here.
At that moment, two members of Old Tom ran up to the front of the team: "Captain, it seems that someone is following us. At first, it was not obvious, but just now we saw a shadow shaking in the distance."
Qingluo and Lingbaoer put their hands on the big tree next to them at the same time. After a while, their faces were full of surprise: "No?"
Old Tom and Qing Luo both had embarrassment on their faces. This matter was a bit troublesome. If one side said yes and the other side was bitten to death, then someone must be lying. If someone really has been monitoring, then, as a forest elf, he would
If you insist that there is no, what does that mean? If you think about it this way... the answer is obviously extremely bad.
Qing Luo Gong raised his hand: "Thank you for taking care of me all the way. Why don't we..."
Old Tom laughed heartily, his gray beard trembling, and he reached out and pressed Qingluo's hand: "Stop talking, it will really hurt your feelings. Let's go together. Since the war started, his grandma's life is alive."
A lifetime of accumulated experience suddenly
It has become useless. Maybe, Fanos and his gang of bastards brought something shameful from that continent with many fathers and mothers... Haha, fathers with many mothers and young children, his grandma's little mercenary king.
Your Highness Amy’s words are so damn insightful.”
"Captain, Xiaoqiu and I should go take a look too." Amy stood up seriously.
"I'll go too!" Her Majesty the Queen jumped out.
"Forget it, I'll go by myself." An Qiusheng is fully aware of Her Majesty the Queen's lethality. Originally, he was going to find out the enemy's background, and taking Her Majesty with him... then he was definitely going to find out the enemy's background.
"Okay. Be careful." Qing Luo doesn't know much about the small mercenary group blocking the Swordsman Battalion, but he also knows that An Qiusheng is the main officer of the Gray Swordsman Battalion. To have such a title, in terms of combat strength
As long as it's comparable to Chang Qing, there shouldn't be a big problem.
Old Tom and his team members thought that the young man was going to summon a giant dragon to patrol the sky, but the result was completely unexpected. An Qiusheng pulled out a black, green, blue and brown cloak from the package behind his back, and covered himself from head to toe.
Strictly, then, he quietly touched out from the side, and the speed was very fast - just now he couldn't feel it when they were walking side by side, but now he clearly noticed the difference. Every step of this young man seemed to blend into the forest, moving toward
After walking less than 10 steps, the whole person has completely blended into the forest...
"Let's keep walking so as not to let the other party notice." Qing Luo was also secretly surprised that the chief officers of the small mercenary group were so outstanding.
"Then he won't get lost?" Old Tom was a little worried.
"No. Let's go." Amy answered - short-distance forest inspection is one of the six routine testing items for swordsmen, and An Qiusheng is the best among them.
The team walked forward for more than an hour, and just when they were about to stop to prepare lunch, An Qiusheng quietly stood up less than 1 meter away from Old Tom and Qing Luo. This time, it really scared Old Tom.
He was shocked. If this young man was really hostile, he could kill him three or four times without any chance of fighting back. The strength of these seven people was simply terrifying.
"Captain, there is indeed one. I have seen three groups. Each group has about three people. They are about 500 meters away from us. Moreover, the opponent has obviously discovered me." An Qiusheng gently wiped off the dew on his forehead.
, after finishing speaking, he smiled apologetically at the old man in front of him.
Qing Luo felt a fever on his face. Every tree in the fairy forest is a middle-level, upper-level and lower-level wood elves. They have their own independent consciousness. For the forest fairies, these lower-level wood elves will cooperate 100% -
This is also the reason why the forest elf magister can control trees in the fairy forest. The trees in other forests are all low-level elves, with only the lowest level of consciousness, such as pain, joy... and they cannot cooperate with the forest elves. However,
You should never lie to a forest elf!
Now, Qingluo already feels unfamiliar with the forest in front of him. This is the first time in his life that Elder Wu of the Elf Kingdom has felt like this.
Old Tom's expression wasn't much better: "Senior, my initial idea was to get through. There are more than 60 of us and more than 100 pack horses. I used to traffic things from here... This time, although the goods were a little
It’s prohibited, but as long as it can be sent in, we will definitely find a good buyer. But... now it seems that we may be in danger. I think the idea you proposed before is still very good..."
As expected of the old Jianghu, it will be cut off when it needs to be cut off without any delay.
Qingluo immediately took it: "You're welcome, then you can stay for lunch. There are few of us, so let's go first." The elder was also very annoyed. Originally, he thought there were many people here, so he wanted to blend in and get through... As a result, in the
Something went wrong at the last step...
"Captain, let Ah Qing explore the way in front, and Xiao Qiu be responsible for the rear." Amy whispered, Qing Luo was stunned for a moment, nodded in agreement, and the 7-person team immediately set off to the northeast.
Just after walking two or three miles, Daqingshan and Sharuo changed the direction of travel, and the team turned west. An Qiusheng stayed behind. When he confirmed that there was no one behind him, he erased the road sign left by Amy, and then changed the direction.
.
After walking a few miles, Amy sat down on the ground: "Everyone, come here and have a rest!"
"Your Highness the Regent, what should we do next?" Old people like Qingluo are also a little confused now.
"Sleep!" Amy answered neatly.
"Sleep? Then we are not going to complete the mission?" One of the little whiteboards now really wants to complete this B-level mission. In that case, he can become a mid-level mercenary in one fell swoop.
"Who said we are going to complete the mission?" Amy smiled and scratched the nose of one of the whiteboards: "Our mission now is to stir up the water, use investigation tasks to cover up our true purpose, and use delivery tasks to cover up investigations
Mission, use Grandpa Tom’s caravan to cover up the delivery mission, completely muddying the waters.”
"You mean to let Old Tom and the others go through the barrier first, and we will observe from behind and then decide what to do?" Qingluo probably understood.
"Well, by the way, elder, who knows the forest better than the elves? Could it be the dark elves?" Amy was very interested in this question.
"I don't know, but it definitely won't be the dark elves. If there must be a race that knows the forest as well as we do, it is the Druids, the sons of the forest. However, even so, the trees will not be unable to feel their traces, and even more
Wouldn't lie to the forest elves."
"They say that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger of a hundred battles. Now we are on the same side. We don't even know who the enemy is."
Qing Luo's face immediately turned red. As a senior hunter, this was probably the harshest evaluation.
"Elder, don't be embarrassed. Before you, Daqingshan and I were known as the people who knew the forest best, and An Qiusheng and the others made the forest their home. This time we all fell into trouble here." Amy didn't care at all.
Not uncomfortable, still with a smile on my face.
Qingluo was completely speechless.
An Qiusheng touched back and stood up on the side: "Captain, no one is following us."
"I guess they don't need to follow us, Elder Qingluo. I feel just like the last time I was in the Fairy Forest, as if I've been completely plotted against." The only ones who can laugh now are probably Amy and the heartless little boy.
It's a blank slate. From this perspective, the so-called husband and wife relationship does not mean that one family does not belong to the same family...it really makes three points of truth.
"Then we will continue to be monitored like this? Also, Old Tom definitely wants us to explore the road. I guess...after a while, the explorers from their caravan will also be here. Your plan...is
It might have failed." Qing Luo felt that Amy might have made a mistake in her wishful thinking.
"Really?" Amy's smile became even stronger: "Elder, I guarantee that they will not be able to find us from now on...unless...we are willing to show up..."
"Your Highness, are you kidding?" Qing Luo was a little dizzy - this kind of dizziness was present from the beginning. As a senior hunter, Qing Luo always felt that his reaction was quite good during his decades of mercenary career.
Even those in the expeditionary force could keep up with Tayang's thoughts. After setting off with Amy, Qingluo really felt that he was getting old...sometimes he couldn't even understand what Amy was saying.
