"Why are two of them running so fast? Are you in a hurry to have lunch?" Early the next morning, Fang Qiubai, Ilyashana and the other two set out leisurely. Looking at the team of 12 people in front of them, Fang Qiu
Bai opened his mouth to complain.
As for why the team will be 12 people, it is because the original consideration was to have a team of 10 people, with at least one elf and one orc, but this way the distribution would be even. Zhuge Liang finally decided to have 10 humans plus 1 elf and 1 orc, 1
0 people is exactly 100 teams.
"After all, they still have a long way to go. I'm afraid they should speed up and get to the first village with people before starting to slowly move along the route!" Illya explained. He was once a mercenary.
He guessed the thoughts of these group members very accurately.
The people who were running quickly in front did not notice that Fang Qiubai and the other three were watching their every move in the sky behind them. They all held their breath. It was the first time they came out to perform a mission. They should not be too casual and lose the SOS group.
s face.
"This Aibo's strength has improved very quickly? He has already broken through level 5. How many days has it been?" Illya sighed as she looked at the swordsman running at the front.
Fang Qiubai also had a deep memory of Aibo, of course because of his ugly face that looked like it had been slashed many times: "I still remember that he was only level 4 when he took the test. I didn't expect that he didn't rely on those buildings.
He can progress so quickly just under the guidance of Gao Li and others, he might be a genius."
As for why Fang Qiubai chose the team of Ai Bo, it is funny to say. Originally, Fang Qiubai wanted to follow the team of Su Na and Tina, but before he could say anything, he felt an inexplicable uneasiness, like
It was the mouse that felt like it was being stared at by a cat.
He simply gave up this idea and instead wanted to follow the combination of dwarves and snow tribes. However, due to the special status of these two people, the route arranged by Zhuge Liang was relatively peaceful and sparse. Finally, Ilia and Shana discussed it.
Next, I chose Aibo, a team that started off and turned directly to the northeast until it reached Qingshui Pass at the junction with the neighboring Mingda Empire, and then patrolled north along the national border.
"If nothing else, at least it seems that this team is currently under the command of Aibo. Although his strength is not high in the team, being recognized by others shows that he has something extraordinary." Shana also nodded.
, a rare evaluation.
Fang Qiubai looked at the personnel information recorded by Zhuge Liang in his hand, and said with concern: "Speaking of which, the orc Grom in this team is only level 6, and the elf Grandi has only reached level 6. He is not the same as other races.
They’re all no higher than level 5. Is it okay for a team like this to go to the border?”
Seeing that Fang Qiubai was worried about the members of the group, Ilia smiled and said: "Have you forgotten? They don't participate in the war, so their strength is already very good. Such a mercenary team of 12 people can already do many difficult tasks.
, besides, their purpose is not to conquer any monsters or anything like that.”
"Don't forget, there is a holy-level monster, Earth-shaking Mad Bull, a thousand meters away to our right. With him here, even if there is any emergency, it can be enough to deal with it!" Shana raised her finger and pointed to the sky on her right as a faint reminder.
road.
Fang Qiubai looked along and saw a small black dot in the blue sky. He felt it carefully and said with a smile: "I was just wondering where the backstage of this team is hidden. It turns out that it is also there."
Heaven."
On the ground, Aibo's team, the seventh team, was advancing rapidly. The orc named Grom asked angrily: "Aibo, what are we doing so fast?"
Aibo turned around and explained, moving forward without any hesitation: "From Yinshan City to Qingshui Pass, there is no other place to live in between these two points. If we go all out, we can arrive at night in two days, and we can rest for one night."
I can collect intelligence at Qingshui Pass early in the morning and carry out my mission!"
"I don't want to be lazy, but is it necessary for us to rush in such a hurry?" A young man who looked a little immature compared to others and looked like he was in his early years asked.
"Paul, you have to know that our tour routes are all on the border of the empire, and the border is never peaceful. The sooner we arrive, the sooner we can do something practical. You should have heard that because the God of Light is injured, now
The situation on the mainland has begun to become chaotic. No one can tell what will happen in the next second. If there is a war, we must appear in front of the people before the war, especially Grom and Grandi. You are not human. If the war time
When you show up, people will be much more wary than usual at that time, and it will be more difficult for you to integrate." Aibo nodded to Paul and explained patiently. He also knew that although the other party was very talented, his strength was higher than his own.
, but the overall outlook and combat experience are far different.
Although Aibo's strength can be said to be at the bottom among the 12 people, he controls his body quite well. He can maintain his running speed while adjusting his breathing to remind others: "Grandi, your physical strength cannot match
Compared with us, when we feel tired, we can use Grom's power. We are all a team. Don't be embarrassed and don't hold on, as that will only get twice the result with half the effort."
"Also, Aphra is a mage. Although she can use magic such as levitation to reduce the burden on herself, she still needs to pay attention to her physical strength. Everyone, please be careful not to let any teammate fall behind due to excessive physical load." Ai
Bo Jing's orderly arrangement made everyone nod in admiration. It's no wonder that others let him take on the role of commander.
"Grom has a lot of strength. If any of you have no strength, Grom can carry you!" The beast Grom is taller and burlier than ordinary people. His head looks the same as that of ordinary people, but he has a slender tail behind him.
Shaking from time to time.
"Grom, don't waste your energy. When Grandi can't hold on anymore, just carry her forward. If you carry someone on your back, you will consume more than twice your energy. The gain will not be worth the loss and it will even affect the speed of the entire team!" Ai
Bo quickly reminded him.
Under Aibo's complete arrangement and command, the seventh team moved forward rapidly.
But Fang Qiubai seemed quite bored in the air. After all, he had nothing to do but fly forward and watch the people running underground. Within half a day, he sighed: "It's so boring! When will this end!"
"
Ilia looked at Fang Qiubai funny: "Didn't this just come out?"
"But it's so boring! It looks like we have to run for at least two days to get there!" Fang Qiubai almost rolled in the sky and acted cute to show that he was so bored.
"Take the move!" Shana suddenly took out her favorite sword, Zhidianzhana, and reminded Fang Qiubai after the sword had hit Fang Qiubai's side.
"Hey!" Fang Qiubai only had time to shout, and when he raised his hand, the flaming sword had already appeared in his hand to block Shana's attack.
"It's too dangerous! Shana!" Fang Qiubai flashed to Illya's side and wiped his cold sweat while looking at Shana who looked happy.
"Didn't you say you were bored?" Shana smiled and made a knife-wielding gesture.
"I don't care, but don't forget Xiaoya. I can only barely master Alastair's flame power, and I almost made her fall just now." Fang Qiubai reminded with an unbearable expression.
Shana waved Zhidianzhe and brought up a stream of sparks: "Isn't it me? What are you afraid of? If it's boring, let's continue?"
"Don't do it! It's very dangerous!" Fang Qiubai shook his head quickly, saying he didn't want to do aerial combat or anything like that.
"Xia Na, please stop teasing him. It's really boring to keep flying like this." Ilia, who was watching the two of them fighting, quickly stopped them with a smile.
"How about we go to Qingshui Pass and wait for them first?" Fang Qiubai tried to suggest after chatting and laughing for most of the day.
Shana turned her head and looked at the sky in the distance: "I have no objection!"
"Is this okay?" Illya looked at Aibo and others on the ground with some worry.
"Don't forget there's a nanny over there!" Fang Qiubai pointed at the earth-shaking bull in the distance that looked only the size of a small black dot and laughed.
"Okay, but what can we do if we go?" Illya nodded, but asked doubtfully.
"It doesn't matter what he can do, let's get over it. Qingshui Pass is in the northeast, right?" Fang Qiubai said, adjusting the direction and opening a portal, and the three of them walked in one after another.
"I didn't expect your calculations to be so accurate!" Shana patted Fang Qiubai's waist in approval.
It turned out that the three of them appeared in front of a huge city wall. Needless to say, what they saw in front of them was Qingshui Pass.
"Is this Qingshui Pass?" Fang Qiubai was surprised to see that the city wall was no lower than the city wall of Lakdor, the capital of the Yong'an Empire, and even looked much thicker. He originally thought that Qingshui Pass was just a small village-like pass.
Completely surprised.
"This is Qingshui Pass, yes! Going out from the winter city wall is the territory of the Mingda Empire." Ilia nodded and introduced.
"It's so big. I thought the border villages would be small and backward." As he walked forward, Fang Qiubai looked at the city wall in front of him, but the city wall was too high and he couldn't see what was inside the level.
Only then did Ilia understand what Fang Qiubai was surprised about, and explained with a smile: "This is usually a trading place that connects the two empires, so the development will naturally be good. There is also a desert city between Blue Sword Castle and Yong'an Empire.
If we can rely on business to develop so well, how can Qingshui Pass be so bad?"
"Sure enough, it's big enough!" Fang Qiubai exclaimed after the three of them finally entered Qingshui Pass and walked on the stone road that was twice as wide as Yinshan City.
"It is said that the road here was deliberately built to make it easier for the troops to pass quickly." As the only foreigner, Illya took the role of interpreter.
"Xiaoya, what is that?" Shana, who was originally interested in looking around, suddenly pulled Ilia's sleeve.
"What?" Fang Qiubai curiously came to Xia Na's side and looked almost close to her face.
Illya first smiled and glared at Fang Qiubai, and then looked along. Two boys who looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old were shirtless and wearing shorts, fighting with weapons in their hands.
: "Oh, that's a custom here in Qingshui Pass. If young people who are confident in themselves show off their talents on this street, they might be spotted by the military or some other force."
"But the strength is too low, right?" Fang Qiubai couldn't help but sigh after looking at it.
"Well, it's the same as me before..." Illya nodded.
Even Fang Qiubai could see it, and so could the people coming and going, indicating that although the two boys were fighting fiercely, no one came forward to ask.
After a while, both of them were out of breath and a little out of breath. Looking at the crowd of people around them who were watching but no one said a word, a trace of sadness flashed in their eyes. They reluctantly put away their weapons and prepared to leave dejectedly.
"I suddenly thought of something interesting!" Fang Qiubai's eyes lit up and he whispered suddenly.
