A clear call came from the forest, accompanied by rapid and messy footsteps, as if there was a group of people approaching quickly from behind. The girl with long light red hair held the hair on the back of her head with one hand, turned her head, her thick eyelashes
After brushing it, the almost translucent, wine-like eyes reflected the light of a burning fire not far away. Sparks flew with a crackling sound, and the faint eyes also flickered.
He seemed a little confused.
"From the sound, it sounds like it's Celia and the others. Didn't they go to find Yura and Reddy? Why did they come back? They found them, but they said they encountered some trouble."
The girl known as Akane raised the ax gun in her hand vigilantly - or called it a halberd. If Brando was here, he would definitely recognize this spear, because in addition to the nearly one-foot-long pitch-black gun blade,
Outside, the spindle-shaped ax blade is one of the most eye-catching features of this weapon - the sharp edge opens to both sides along a light golden edge, which looks particularly beautiful.
But beautiful things are dangerous.
This halberd, called the 'Thunder Spear - Logos', was once one of the most famous drops in the Chablis region. It was a must-have weapon for gun mercenaries, although it was only a level 25 or so weapon.
The price of the halberd on several well-known trading websites has remained high; for no other reason than that there is a 100% chance that this gun will provide the owner with a 'Lightning Word' surrounding special effect when attacking.
This special effect is derived from the elementalist's spell of the same name, which can attach 10% of the lightning damage to the attacker, which is almost equivalent to increasing the attribute damage by 10% out of thin air. Therefore, a tactic widely circulated among gun mercenaries is to first use the Thunder
The gun produces special effects, and then is used with the mercenary profession's unique 'instant preparation' skill to instantly switch the main weapon (*), and is then used with consumable props such as wind element induction potions and attribute-enhancing crystals for output.
(*The difference between the mercenary profession and the warrior profession is that the warrior focuses on skills, the mercenary focuses on combat, and the latter regards weapons as tools)
This is the so-called attribute damage flow.
However, the 'Thunder Spear - Logos' is said to be owned by a ghost knight in the northern forest of Chablis whose whole body is burning with fiery red soul flames. How it came into the hands of this girl is an unsolved mystery.
If Brando saw it now, he would probably be surprised:
The first 'Thunder Spear - Logos' appeared in the Year of the Swift (377). Before the Year of Flowers and Summer Leaves (375), the forest north of Chablis was still occupied by lizard bandits.
What?
Akane raised her head and saw several people hurriedly running from the forest in her field of vision.
She frowned.
For the girl, the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group has a different meaning. She is an orphan adopted by Cabot. This group is more like a huge family to her. Every time she fights, it is not for money.
It's to protect your family.
But apart from fighting, she felt like she didn't know what to do anymore.
Just fighting——
However, for the past eleven years, the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group has always repeated its victory, and everyone's confidence has grown day by day, gradually converging into a sense of honor. But this pride was hit head-on tonight - Qian didn't understand how these enemies had ever
Where did they come from, but there is no doubt that they are extremely difficult opponents with terrifying tenacity to fight.
She had some bad premonitions in her heart, and her nervousness and exhaustion made her young heart beat rapidly in the girl's chest.
"What's wrong?"
"Akane, Yura has been found."
The girl let out a low sigh that was almost "angry", and her eyes flashed. She put down her ax and spear, shook her long hair, then pressed her hair on the back of her head with her hand and asked: "So what? What about the leader?
Say, shall we keep moving forward, or shall we retreat?”
There was a burst of snickering from the crowd. This red-haired girl's fondness for Eco is a fact that everyone in the group knows. On the contrary, several parties involved were kept in the dark with a tacit understanding. It's a pity that this secret relationship
Appreciation can only be buried deep in my heart - because Yura is Eco's fiancée, so her relationship with that woman is not necessarily good.
"But Yura is Hoshimi and smart, so he must be favored by the group leader."
Akane pretended not to care and snorted softly, then raised her head and glared at them.
"Be careful of your mouth getting rotten," she said viciously.
But the laughter got louder, and someone said among the good-natured laughter: "Qian, the captain has decided to move to the northeast. You, Reddy, and Rolloer each lead a team of people to open the way. We
Come with you, okay?"
Qian suddenly grinned: "Why do you want to be with me? Do you have ulterior motives?"
"How could that happen?" The few people who were seen through quickly waved their hands.
She raised her head and stared at one of the young men, who quickly lowered his head, "Idiot." Akane snorted in her heart.
"It's up to you." She turned around and replied.
Several young people looked at the girl's back and were stunned for a moment. But they didn't understand that the girl was worried. The strength of the 'Solitaire' mercenary group was probably far beyond expectations, but why didn't Captain Macaro temporarily order a retreat?
Stick to the original plan. Is it because you are confident, or is it because of other reasons?
Akane pressed her chest with her hand and felt her heart beating hard. But now that the leader had given the order, she had no room to disobey. The only thing left to do was rely on the gun in her hand. She tightened her grip
The Thunder Spear was a gift that Eco bought from a businessman for her on her fifteenth birthday. She had already made up her mind to fight with this axe-gun until the last moment even if she lost her life.
Sometimes Akane even feels that this is the entire meaning of her life.
But after walking for a while, she thought of something again. She turned her head and asked, "I remember that the businessman was camping here. Why didn't I see it?"
"Probably... got separated..."
Several young people followed up and replied hesitantly. After all, they were not close associates of the Maned Wolf Macaro. In fact, not everyone in the Gray Wolf mercenary group knew Brando's identity.
Most people still think they are just what they appear on the surface: a temporary alliance.
The girl frowned: "Then let's look in this direction."
"is this okay?"
"Why is it bad? The Gray Wolf Mercenary Group cannot be called treacherous." Qian replied.
The few people behind laughed again. They were obviously soft-hearted, but they wanted to find a high-sounding excuse. Most of them were willing to join her just to see the young lady's unintentional jokes. Of course, most of them were doing so out of good intentions.
Just look at it from the perspective of .
But just as the girl finished speaking, another burst of strange laughter sounded in the forest. The laughter sounded like the squeaks of the scarecrows that these mercenaries had seen in the noble manor in the flat area east of Jean Denel.
The creaking sound was hollow and boring, and filled with a sense of horror.
Qian's expression changed and she raised her head.
She immediately saw the guy standing on the treetop wearing a black robe with red edges and laughing - and on the other side of the guy, a giant green beast was entrenched on another black pine. The monster
It has a sheep's head, and a pair of open fleshy wings hang down, revealing a series of spiked black metal chains wrapped around the wings.
"When did you come?"
The girl was shocked and frowned. Although she didn't know what it was, she knew it must be a difficult opponent.
"Little girl." The believer in black robe smiled and said in a sharp voice: "You said someone got separated from here?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Qian raised her ax and gun and replied through gritted teeth.
In this attack, the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group lost a team of sentries, including a sister with whom she had a very good relationship. Although the mercenary was used to seeing life and death, this did not mean that she could fight with the person who caused all this.
The enemies get along with each other calmly, and life and death are the mercenaries' choices. But the enemy is the enemy, and we will never live together.
"It doesn't matter. It seems that one of my colleagues was lost at the hands of those people. I'll take it out of you first." The Black Fire cultist Jie Jie said with a strange smile: "Abaqus."
There was a clang sound, and a dark iron chain swept toward the girl from across the air.
The girl groaned and shot the iron chain away with one shot. However, the strength of the response on her arm surprised her secretly. Just one blow made her whole right arm numb. But her performance was obviously better than that of a high-level person.
The Black Fire Cultist was beyond expectation, "Silver strength! Macaro's men are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It's really unexpected that a little girl has such strength!"
"There are more things than you can imagine - Logos, the Arrow of Electricity!"
Akane gritted her teeth and replied, stabbing the guy with a backhand shot - an electric light flashed immediately, pulling out a long electric arc along the blade of the ax gun. There was a crackling sound, and the arc had jumped over tens of meters to the enemy.
That high-level Blackfire Cultist.
But the arc just hit the man in black robe and was blocked by an invisible shield. Electric sparks flew everywhere, and the bark of the pine tree beside the high-level Black Fire Cultist was immediately charred and curled up. However, he himself remained motionless, not even the corners of his robe.
Not a single blow was made.
"Second-level magic weapons are really rare." After a while, the man in black robe clicked his tongue.
Qian's heart was completely cold at this moment. She took a breath and felt her hands and feet were cold. But after a moment of fear, she felt anger rising from the bottom of her heart. She turned around and saw her companion.
He drew his weapon and prepared to join the battle, but he couldn't help but said angrily: "Run, what are you doing here!"
"Akane..."
"Captain, you?" Several young people were stunned for a moment.
"Run quickly, I am no match for him, let the captain bring someone to rescue me!"
"The abacus is very good." The high-level Black Fire cultist snorted, and when he raised his hand, the monster opposite him immediately shot out another chain.
This time the target is those young people——
"Damn it!"
Akane gritted her teeth and threw a gun at the chain. With a loud bang, the chain and the thunder gun immediately bounced in two opposite directions. But the red-haired girl immediately raised her hand, and a lightning arc struck between her and her.
The gun flashed, and the next moment, the ax gun flew up and returned to her hand - as if the two were sensing each other.
"Elemental resonance!" the Black Fire Cultist screamed strangely.
