Just when several people looked surprised, a clear and majestic voice remembered that a heroic woman in a smart outfit came over.
"Captain..."
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly saluted, which showed the other party's prestige among everyone.
"He is the leader of the Phoenix Mercenary Group!"
"Well, you are already a seventh-level warrior." The woman walked through the crowd and walked directly to Daren and said.
"Um"
Darren didn't hide anything after hearing this.
"Okay, you will be a member of my Phoenix Mercenary Group from now on." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the main hall.
From Ziyun Town to the official road of the Zijin Empire, a group of more than 20 mercenaries escorted a luxurious carriage in the center of the group. The leader was a heroic woman wearing a scarlet armor.
At the back of the team, a green-faced young man who was also wearing a red armor was holding a black lion mastiff cub in his arms and riding on a black war horse of about the same height.
The war horse is a breed specially bred in the Zijin Continent. It is a cross between an ordinary war horse and a level five magical beast, the Wind Chasing Horse. When it grows to its peak state, it can rival a fourth level magical beast.
"Brother Adams, do you often take on such long-distance missions?" The two of them were walking side by side, and Darren couldn't help but tilted his head and asked.
After joining the Phoenix Mercenary Group for a few days, Darren had a basic understanding of the situation in the mercenary group, and his relationship with Adams became more harmonious.
In addition to the leader Azuna, who is a late-eighth level warrior, the Phoenix Mercenary Group also has two early-eighth-level deputy leaders. One of them is Delin, a middle-aged man whom Darren has met before, and the other is
The name is an earth attribute magician dressed as an old man. In addition, there are more than 20 team members with the lowest strength being level six, which is pretty good in the city of Shake County.
"This is the first one!" Adams replied after hearing this.
"You also know that there are countless powerful people in Zijin Continent. If it hadn't been for several captains in recent years, the Phoenix Mercenary Group would have been disbanded long ago!"
"In the past, most of our missions were in the surrounding counties and cities. This is my first time to go to the border!"
Adams had a longing look on his face, obviously full of longing for the first empire of mankind on the mainland.
"Brother Adams, tell me about your experience as a mercenary!" Darren couldn't help but become curious after hearing this.
"I have been working as a mercenary for eight years. At the beginning, I was just a solo worker. It was only after I joined the Phoenix Mercenary Group that I felt I belonged..."
Adams began to tell Darren about his experiences over the years, and Darren acted as a listener along the way. During this period, Darren also gained some new understanding of the mercenary life.
Although mercenaries look more glamorous and hot-blooded, the road is also full of various crises and life-and-death tests. In addition to the major forces, kingdoms, and principalities in the Zijin Continent, there are also many bandits of various sizes. Bandits like them fall every year.
There are not a few mercenaries in hand.
Looking at the luxurious carriage in the center of the team, Darren couldn't help but become curious. What kind of big shot would have to pay such a high price to go to the Border Battle City.
The entire Phoenix Mercenary Group was dispatched and even traveled across several counties and cities to the border, which was not something that ordinary people could recruit.
However, he also knew that the owner of the cargo this time was personally accepted by the group leader. Apart from the three group leaders, Alila Dashi also did not know the identity of the other party.
"Tap tap..."
At this moment, Alila turned her horse's head from the center of the opponent and walked towards Darren.
"Is something wrong?" Seeing this, Darren asked. Alila was the first person he met when he came to the mercenary group, and they have been getting along well these past few days.
I also have some understanding of the other person's personality. Although he is older than Darren, he always looks like he has not grown up and has a ghostly look on his face.
"Darren, let me play with Xiao Hei!"
However, the other party ignored Darren and turned his attention to the little lion mastiff in Darren's arms.
Hear the words
The little lion mastiff who was originally lying in Darren's arms suddenly trembled, opened his eyes and looked at Darren with a horrified expression, and tightly grasped Darren's clothes with his limbs, as if he was afraid that Darren would send him away.
Especially when he looked at Alila's expression, it was obvious that she was unwilling.
"this..."
Seeing this, Darren also looked helpless. Ever since the little lion mastiff was taken away by Alila some time ago, the little lion mastiff has had this expression when facing Alila. It turns out that the little lion mastiff is in Alila.
Alila treats the little lion mastiff like an ordinary puppy and plays with it, making the little lion mastiff miserable.
"Look, I don't know what happened to the little lion mastiff today..." Darren had no choice but to say. He had already felt the little lion mastiff's condition, especially when he saw the other party's pitiful eyes, he couldn't bear it.
.
"snort..."
Alila couldn't help being shocked and angry when she saw Darren's expression. She glared at Darren fiercely and turned around on horseback to leave.
"Little guy, look at how I offended someone because of you!" Looking at the proud little lion mastiff in his arms, Darren gently shook the little lion mastiff with a smile on his face.
"Woof woof..."
"Hahaha, no wonder Alila treats you like a little bitch!" Darren couldn't help laughing when he heard the other party's cry.
"Hahaha, Darren, your Warcraft is not simple. I have seen many people with Warcraft mounts over the years, but I have never seen such an agile Warcraft!" Adams on the side couldn't help but laugh.
"I think so too!"
...
Because the journey was long, everyone on the road didn't take much rest and kept going in a hurry.
in darkness
Except for a few fluttering firelights that were constantly swaying, most of the place was covered by endless darkness. Looking at the leader, the crescent moon looked like a sickle.
Feeling a bit of coolness in the night wind, the firelight blew through and moved with the wind. All the mercenaries gathered together in twos and threes, sitting around the bonfire. Their location was in a relatively open place between the two mountains, which was just right.
Suitable as a residence.
Looking at the surrounding rolling mountains, only vague shadows can be seen at night, standing like giants on the earth.
"In front of you are the Liangjie Mountains. If you cross here, you will enter Jiuyuan County. If you pass through Jiuyuan County, you will reach your destination."
Darren and the others continued to rush forward for a whole month. They finally arrived at the Two Boundaries Mountains and were about to enter the most dangerous area.
"Brother Adams, looking at the serious look of the leader, are these two mountains really so dangerous?" Everyone looked at them with a look of caution.
Although Darren had read a lot of records from the mainland when he was in the academy, he still didn't know much about these two mountains. However, it could be seen from everyone's expressions that this place was not simple.
"Um"
Knowing Darren's situation, everyone did not make fun of him, but began to introduce it in detail.
