Unknowingly, the seven-day minimum time limit for assisting defense has arrived. At the end of the vast grassland, the orcs have made no move to attack the fortress, but it makes people feel uneasy, like the calm before the storm.
Fortunately, the members of the Thorn Mercenary Group have recovered well and are ready to perform at their best.
Aranza wanted to stay to help her sister, but Troxi refused. She urged Aranza to leave for the family as soon as possible, and she led the remaining army back to Brett City, where she assembled the army and then headed east to intervene in Brett.
There is a civil war in the cities of Kaye State to the east of the city. As for the city of Brett, it is left to those who can withstand the storms of the Kabulan Fortress in the future.
I believe that the warlords north of Brett City would not leave a piece of delicious meat without biting it. After they broke a few teeth, Troxi would come back and knock out the remaining teeth.
Therefore, Aranza could only return to Brett City with the Thorns mercenary group, complete the task settlement first, and then take the airship to the family territory. Jiexi did not recommend using magic teleportation scrolls. Magic has always been expensive, and so are magic scrolls. The entire mercenary group
The regiment's magical teleportation costs a lot of money, and there is no need to use it when the airship can be used. Troxi will stay in Kablan Fortress to deal with post-war matters, such as counting the dead and burying the corpses, and will leave here last.
After saying goodbye with some reluctance, Aranza took the members of the mercenary group and rode north to return to Brett City.
In order not to attract attention, the group of people all put on hooded linen cloaks, looking like dusty travelers. Jessie asked Cyril to take off the mask. After all, part of the wolf head mask was exposed in the cloak, which was really weird. Aranza again
Seeing that fair, wild yet gentle face, he felt dazed. It wasn't until Cyril pulled down the brim of his hat to cover his face that he came back to his senses.
Seeing this, Jiexi's little nose wrinkled slightly, and the white tip of her nose pointed at Aranza dissatisfiedly, while Aranza turned back and smiled coquettishly at Jiexi. Of course, he could feel the emotions radiating from Jiexi's soul, and he didn't know where to start for a moment.
What explanation.
"Oops?" Dolores looked at the three people. It seemed that there was an unspoken line connecting them, which put Aranza in the middle of the line in a dilemma. Therefore, the prairie elf on the outside put on an expression of sudden realization.
, teasing the three of them, "There's something fishy about you guys."
"Dolores!" Jiexi hurriedly told Dolores to shut up. Her angry look caused the prairie elf to cover her mouth and laugh in amusement.
But Cyril actually pulled the brim of her hat lower, no one knew what she was thinking.
During the fight, the familiar signboard of the mercenary office stationed in Brett City was right in front of us.
Everyone dismounted and walked in. Silas was depressed about the small door frame. He remembered the last time he came here and struggled to squeeze in. He lamented that the military tent door cloth of Kablan Fortress was the greatest invention of mankind.
Under the surprised gazes of passers-by, the wolf safely found a comfortable position to lie down and bask in the sun. It didn't want to have trouble with the door frame anymore. It waited for Aranza and the others to come out after completing the formalities.
The cloaked Thorn Mercenary Group was not recognized by other mercenaries. In fact, people were discussing the war in Kabulan Fortress. Of course, this incident was deliberately ignored when it came out, such as the Azshara Primeval Forest.
These are facts that must not be made public. The news that people have received is that the orcs launched a massive attack and the defenders of Kabulan Fortress resisted desperately. Although they suffered heavy losses, they still allowed the fortress to stand on the frontier.
What's interesting is that some mercenaries are holding up the previously posted task list of assisting in the defense of Kabulan Fortress, betting on the deposit, and looking at the mercenary groups who have signed to accept the task on the task list, how many of them are safe and sound and can come back to settle the task.
"Ah, I didn't expect it to be a woman." At this moment, a mercenary group that had just accepted the mission and was about to go out passed by the Thorns mercenary group that came in. One of the members, intentionally or unintentionally, bumped into the oncoming mercenary group.
Cyril said in surprise.
"Hey," this member's profession was actually a thief. He raised the thing he had stolen from Cyril to look at, and immediately screamed. The stolen thing was one of Jie Xi's generosity. The dagger was destroyed by day.
"I didn't expect it to be an enchanted weapon or a high-level enchantment."
"Give it back to me."
Cyril had already discovered that the dagger had been stolen, but he was not on alert and had no time to react to stop the thief. She turned around and shouted softly, her voice raw and childish but decisive. For a moment, people mistakenly thought that she was too angry to speak because something was stolen.
Noble lady.
The members of the Thorn Mercenary Group stopped and turned around, silently looking at the mercenary group opposite.
"If there is such a good thing, why are you covering it with a cloak? This is not the style of aristocratic children who like to show off. I think these things probably came from evil sources and are afraid of being discovered?"
Not only did the leader of the other party not order the members to return the lost property, but he also took a step forward and expertly slapped Aranza and his party on the wrong side.
Aranza took a step forward. Although the cloak covered her body, the linen cloth could not cover up the lines of the armor. The bulging arc showed that Aranza was always fully armed. Because she had to wear the cloak, Aranza placed the giant sword in both hands on Jiexi's hands.
In the space ring, at this moment, when the young man stepped forward, Jie Xi waved her delicate hands in cooperation, and Aranza's two-handed giant sword appeared out of thin air, and he held it in his hand.
Space ring! The mercenary captain opposite felt his mouth go dry for a while.
"Well, you want to seek justice and take away these shady things, don't you?" Aranza stared at the other party and said every word.
"Yes." The mercenary captain opposite stretched out his tongue to lick his dry lower lip, grinning evilly. His subordinates also showed greedy eyes, staring at the Thorns mercenary group, as if they had already seen the cover under the cloak.
of treasures.
"Okay!" Aranza chuckled, took out the certificate of establishment of the mercenary group from his arms, and held it against his chest. This was an oath gesture. "Here, my mercenary group will confront the other mercenary group. From now on, we will meet and fight."
We will fight until death, and please especially the mercenary king, Her Excellency Amy Lane, to witness from heaven."
Mercenary King Amy Lane is also from the Lane family. She has countless honors and stands side by side with the Hero King. For mercenaries, if the Hero King is the supreme Creator God, then the Mercenary King is the most powerful one under the Creator God.
The god of war. As for the mercenary groups who swore hostility to each other in the name of the mercenary king, the mercenary office will not intervene in the fight between them, even if the venue is within the mercenary office.
Seeing this, the mercenary leader opposite was not worried but overjoyed. He also took out his voucher and made the same oath as Aranza, so that he could kill people and seize treasures legitimately.
What he didn't know was that the mercenaries onlookers were looking at him and his mercenary group with dead eyes. Others dared to swear like this, so they were naturally confident, but he was so obsessed with money that he didn't notice.
What ended with the greedy captain's oath was Aranza's gesture, a gentle wave, and a single word came out of his mouth that was so cold that it was completely different from his usual carefreeness.
"kill."
Jessie and Dolores did not move, not because they were resisting Aranza's order, but because they were restricted by the venue and were not suitable for their professional performance. However, Aranza didn't care, because this order was given to only one person.
Cyrillic.
The girl's body was half-crouched, just like a wolf accumulating strength before hunting. Then, Cyril suddenly exploded as expected and rushed towards the thief before. Before the thief who was staring at him had time to react, the black shadow in the cloak rolled up.
A gust of wind flashed behind him.
He felt something pinching his face, making it impossible for him to turn back, and then there was the sound of cracking bones, which entered his mind from his neck and climbed towards the thief's astonished face. He finally turned his head and saw Cyril's face clearly.
, a strangely beautiful face that combines wildness and gentleness, and is breathtaking.
No, no, it was really suffocation. The thief suddenly felt difficulty breathing, and then realized that the arc of his head turned was too large, and he had already passed the arc of death. He wanted to call for help, but found that his throat seemed to be mixed together and stuck.
The seams between his bones made it impossible for him to speak.
The thief collapsed at Cyril's feet, twitched for a moment, and lost the breath of life.
The mercenary leader opposite swallowed a gulp of saliva. All this happened so fast that he had no time to rescue him. However, the death of his accomplices also made him react quickly. These people in front of him were not easy to mess with. The dead thieves were all very agile.
The opponent actually killed the fourth-level warrior when he was unable to react, which meant that the opponent's level was much higher than that of the thief, and the lowest was a fifth-level warrior with full agility development.
This was just the strength of one subordinate. Their leader didn't take any action at all, he just held his sword and watched quietly from the side.
"Hmph, just wait for me!" The mercenary captain yelled, and he didn't care about his companion's body. He kept walking and shouted to the remaining men to leave quickly.
"It's so boring," Aranza said in disappointment as he looked at his opponent who ran away quickly. He stepped forward to pick up the dagger from the thief for Cyril and returned it to its original owner. Then he walked back to the front desk and established the mercenary group.
Give the voucher to the receptionist.
The receptionist is no longer the one who named their mercenary group last time.
"Well, we are members of the Thorn Mercenary Group, and we are here to settle the final trial mission of establishing the mercenary group."
Thorn Mercenary Group!
The mercenaries who were watching started making noises. Some of them were remembering what happened to Aranza and his party in Brett City. Others were excited or worried about whether the previous bet was right or wrong. But what they could do was not provoke Aranza and his people.
He is not interested in taking care of people. This is the conclusion that the mercenaries came to after considering Aranza's previous and this incident.
The formalities were quickly completed, and a stamped certificate of establishment and grade certificate was handed over to Aranza.
"That's enough, let's go." Aranza called to the members of the Thorn Mercenary Group, stepped over the thief's body, and walked out.
The hatred of his companions and the unknown wealth, he knew that the mercenary group that had just established a hostile relationship would definitely cause trouble for them again, and would use the legitimate dog head to seek greedy justice.
