Section 75: Contact
As the captain of the mercenary team who had just taken over the task of protecting Miss Sierra of the Michel family, Jack regretted it a little - really regretted it.
Accepting the mission of the young patriarch of the Michel family, Jack originally thought that his mercenary team only needed to follow the young and promising apprentices and go to the north to kill some skinless aliens and make a lot of money——
With the apprentice masters' spells, mercenaries like them who have no talent in spells can easily kill those alien species.
But he didn't expect that these apprentices... were too young.
They're just a bunch of kids.
Especially the little guy named Marin, who is the thinnest among all the children.
He is obviously the child who needs the most care, but he is carrying a large square bag and a gun that is huge for him.
Is there really nothing wrong with this kid? Jack doubts it very much.
However, none of the children said they were tired along the way, but the young people were still worried - being tough doesn't mean everything. If a child is frightened and runs away, it's easy to say he's dead. There are woods all over the mountains and fields.
How to find it.
And apart from him, most of the remaining children have no combat experience. Although they are well-dressed, they look like they go into the mountains to find alien species and fight for their lives instead of going into the mountains to feed the alien species meat, which is really unbearable for their age.
They are obviously all children.
The elf archer in the team came over at this time. This high elf with blond hair and golden eyes was a wanderer. He entered the team forty years ago and worked with Jack's father. To this day, he walks with Jack and is a member of the team.
The most powerful shooter in the team: "Jack, I just said, if it was a simple task, how could we let that young gentleman spend a thousand dollars to find us?"
"But in any case, one thousand yuan is very good. Our little Tina has also reached the age of becoming an apprentice. There are not many religious men and women in the Mage Tower." Another dwarf wearing thick leather armor came over: "Boy, I want it.
I say, don’t look down on these children too much, even if they are still young, but children of nobles can never be judged based on their age, and I have seen the gun on the back of that little guy before among my people."
"Your tribe? Who are they?" This time, even the human healers and wood elf rangers walking behind were attracted.
They looked at the boy walking in front, and the human therapist frowned: "It's too small. I even think it's too much to ask him to carry such a big bag."
"You are truly a holy mother, Old Hantie, tell me, who is your dwarf?" The wood elf rolled his eyes at the healer of his team, and then couldn't wait to ask about his dwarf teammates.
"Blue Steel Stone, my old friend. He has recently been working with a hybrid who is said to be a frost giant. He has obtained a lot of equipment blueprints from nowhere. It is said that he is now heading towards the master." The dwarf said as he spoke.
I noticed that the halfling scout at the front of the team raised his hand: "Hey, we have something to do, Lord Kane! Please come forward!"
He shouted this to the wandering paladin walking in the center of the team.
………………
The halfling Three Toes carefully looked at the environment in the forest. When his team took over the protection task, Three Toes was ready to be the nanny, but the facts told him - he was not prepared enough, little dwarf.
This is no apprentice team, it's basically a children's team.
Except for the half-grown boy in the team who has some knightly skills, all the other boys are...all children.
Three Toes resisted the urge to curse. If he wanted to blame people for his death for money, everyone agreed to this mission. When it came to the end, these brats couldn't be blamed.
But fortunately, there are two good ones among the little guys - firstly, the werewolf girl, although she looks very thin, she is surprisingly a good hand and meticulously protects her friends.
The other one is the kitten girl who is following him.
Holding a crossbow, although her walking style is not very standard, her steps are very steady, and her eyesight is sharp. Although she doesn't know what she can see, she is indeed of cat-human blood.
Given time, he must be a good reconnaissance player.
As for her brother...it's amazing that this kid can still walk with so many things on his back.
But if he needs to escape for his life, will he still be able to run?
Thinking of this, Three Toes suddenly noticed that the little kitten girl walking on her left stopped. She knelt on one knee, her ears shaking to receive the sound. Then she turned to look at Three Toes: "There is danger ahead."
"Danger?" Sanzhi frowned. He first took a look at his environment - it was a downhill slope, very gentle, the wind was from east to west, and they were facing due north, which meant that there was something in front of them.
They may not be able to smell it - but considering that this is an orc, their olfactory system should be stronger than that of three-toed people.
Then he started to smell it too - a very faint smell of blood.
So Sanzhi raised his left hand without hesitation: "There is a situation!"
An announcement came from the friend behind, and a paladin came over - he was a wandering paladin who voluntarily joined the team and came from the Church of Justice: "What's going on, Mr. Three-Toed?"
"She noticed the smell of blood first." After finishing speaking, Three Toes pointed at the kitten - he didn't want to get any credit in front of a paladin. One detection of lies could make this kind-hearted saint
The knight has become the harshest judge. Every year, there are not even a thousand but eight hundred unlucky guys like this. Three-toed people are seen a lot. Naturally, they don’t want good things to turn into bad things and bad things to turn into mourning.
The paladin sensed it and then pulled out the long sword from his waist: "The earth is shaking! Get ready to fight!"
So in the eyes of Three Toes, the kitten kneeling on one knee quickly ran to the side of her companion. She stood together with the little lamb. The latter pulled out a revolver from his waist.
The brilliance bloomed in her hands. Although he could not feel the fluctuations of the spell, he could see the brilliance of the spell flashing on the paladin's body, and then the three toes felt that his body had become more dexterous.
Before Three Toes could react, the girl with elf blood opened her hands and raised her hands, and two human figures made of clay stood beside her. Although they did not look strong, Three Toes could be sure that if she
When the team faced this clay figurine, it could knock everyone into the ground with one punch.
The clay men strode to the front of the line and stood together with the Paladins. One of the clay men even pulled up a small tree and used it as a weapon.
The little Tobian girl took out the kettle from the bag on her waist and poured out the water. In her hands, the water turned into ice-made spears one after another, arranged neatly in a line.
The werewolf pulled out his sword, stuck it into the soil, and then worked with another big boy to assemble the light ballista he had been carrying.
The girl next to the boy walked to her employer, and there was a little weasel on her shoulder, which should be a magic pet.
Finally, the youngest boy took out the contents of the bag - it was a very huge hammer head compared to him. He assembled the hammer head and the separate hammer handle, and then used only one hand to assemble the hammer head.
Picking it up is like picking up a baby animal.
Then he strode towards the front line, and with every step, the brilliance of the magic shone on him. No wonder the little lamb never blessed him from beginning to end. This child was more powerful than her, and he even gave it to others.
Adding blessings!
Oh my god! I just thought these babies were a burden?!
Any one of these children is more valuable than their entire team!
No wonder the gentleman said he was willing to add another thousand dollars as long as all the children could be kept safe.
This is really a simple task.
But there is still a question - who protects whom... question.
Thinking of this, Three Toes awkwardly gave up his position to the kid - he might as well take his Dire Eagle to the right wing to give everyone a break.
If there are many monsters, you might be able to miss a few and give them a few shots.
