"Mercenary?" The knight glanced at everyone, lingering on Mi'er's sniper rifle for a while, his tone seemed a bit disdainful.
"Are there any changes ahead?" Ask asked with a smile, leaning on the roadblock.
"This has nothing to do with you, civilian." The knight of the night watch said coldly.
"No, all adventures are related to us." Ask said with a chuckle, "We are mercenaries."
"I know you are profit-seeking mercenaries, but this undead change has nothing to do with you." The knight said coldly, "The reason why the roadblocks are set up here is because there was an invasion of the underworld in the village of Paramus ahead.
.”
"Invasion from the underworld?" Nora asked curiously.
The knight frowned at her and sneered mockingly:
"Ah, so he is not a pure mercenary, but a curious scholar?"
"Listen, the underworld is a secondary plane parallel to the main plane - of course, theoretically parallel, but there will be overlap in some cases."
"At this time, the evil undead spirits from the underworld will rush to the main plane through the overlapping entrances of the two planes and start a killing spree."
"So do you understand? There are no lost fortunes, legendary treasures, or super-rich nobles in distress... there are just a bunch of moving, extremely dangerous corpses, and the night watchmen who send them to rest in peace.
.”
"I understand," Ask said. "Now that you say so, let's be honest: we are here for spiritual materials."
The knight showed a surprised expression when he heard this and stared at him for a while, seeming to be surprised that the other party knew the term "spiritual material".
"If that's the case, then come in." The knight sighed helplessly and stepped aside to get out of the way.
So Askra opened the roadblock and called for the girls to follow him.
Peggy walked to him and whispered: "Ask..."
"It's okay." Asik heard her worry, "The Night Watch will only deal with evil undead supernatural beings."
"That's right." The knight turned around and said, "If any of you have extraordinary beings of the undead type, as long as you don't do evil, you have nothing to fear in front of the Night Watch."
Leading the crowd, the knight walked to a hill where countless tents were pitched, with the night watchman's flag flying at the top.
Guarding the mountain road were two armored knights, holding rifles and shields in their hands. Seeing a group of people walking along the mountain road, the faces of the two knights showed surprise at the same time.
"Jasimodo." One of the knights said, "Are these mercenaries from outside? You should know that because of what happened last time, the commander was very angry with the mercenaries, and he doesn't want any outsiders this time.
Forces interfere in our actions."
"There is no way." Night Watch Knight Jasimodo replied, "If they really want to come in and find out what's going on, we can't stop them with our small manpower - and we can't shoot them directly."
"Then we can't just let it in like this." Another knight said dissatisfiedly, scanning the people behind him, frowning and asking:
"What's the name of your mercenary group?"
"The Blue Sword." Ask replied.
The night watch knight said coldly: "Wait here."
He turned around and walked towards the top of the mountain to find the commander.
After about ten minutes, the night watch knight came back again.
"Follow me," he said bluntly.
Walking into the tent cluster, everyone saw knights wearing power armor everywhere, and clerks in white coats working around the power armor, such as skeleton welding, circuit debugging and painting.
"My armored exoskeleton always makes a clicking sound when walking." A knight complained.
"Maybe the buffer rubber ring is old. Let me try a new one." The clerk next to me said.
Eleanor stared at those powered armors, her eyes seemed to be in a trance.
Powered armor is the classic equipment of feudal knights. It can perfectly resist the slashing of swords and the shooting of bullets, and can also provide the wearer with great explosive power and endurance bonus.
Her father had such a power armor, with blue and white diamond-shaped heraldic spray paint, which was extremely powerful.
Her eldest brother Ludwig and second brother Henry also received a pair of power armor at their coming-of-age ceremony.
She didn't.
This is also the reason why she left her family's territory to go on an adventure in a fit of anger.
Eleanor was silent, while Sidley's eyes shone brightly and she almost drooled. She took Asker's arm and whispered:
"Ask, can I also get a pair of powered armor? Wearing this to fight will make me invulnerable, right?"
"No." Asik refused directly. "Power armor will increase and solidify your strength and endurance. You are still in a period of rapid growth in strength. Wearing power armor will be detrimental to your growth."
"Oh." Hidrifa was a little disappointed.
On the other hand, Jasimodo, the night watch knight who was leading the way, turned his head after hearing this and looked at Aske in surprise.
The Night Watch organization can be divided into two major orders: the knight order, which is responsible for frontal combat, and the priest order, which is responsible for scientific research and maintenance. Among them, only the knight order can wear power armor.
However, after a newcomer joins the Night's Watch, even if he chooses to take the knight route, he cannot wear power armor until he has gone through lengthy military training and met the standards.
In this regard, the explanation given by the top management of the Night Watch is: "Adapting to power armor combat too early will be detrimental to the growth of one's own strength."
This statement from the top management coincided with what the guy named Asker explained, so much so that Jasimodo couldn't help but look at the group leader a few more times.
This guy actually has some knowledge, maybe he has a background in a regular military organization.
Could it be that he was born as a jailer with the same name as our night watchman? Or a watcher?
He shook his head to expel these messy thoughts from his mind, because there is a famous razor principle in the Night Watch dogma, which is called:
Do not add entities unless necessary.
Everyone is used to understanding it as: If you cannot confirm the truth of the matter at the moment, don't think too much.
Arriving in front of the commander's tent, Night Watch Knight Jasimodo had restrained his thoughtful mood, his face returned to a cold expression, and he said indifferently:
"Commander wants to see you, please put the weapons in the box outside first."
Ask was the first to take off his sword and gun and put them into the open empty box next to the tent.
Seeing the leader doing this, the girls followed suit and removed all their weapons.
Jasimodo exited the power armor and led everyone into the tent.
In the tent, on the huge command table, there was an electronic sand table with a topographic map. A middle-aged man holding a cigar, wearing a brown leather jacket, was staring at the topographic map in trance.
"Jasimodo, the knight commander of the third team of Morning Star, led the foreign mercenaries to report!" Jasimodo put his right fist on his chest and said loudly.
"Bring it here." The middle-aged man said.
"Yes." Jasimodo took a few steps forward, turned around and said sternly to everyone, "This is the Commander of the Night Watch's Eastern Legion, Your Excellency Bryce Grade. Please pay attention to your words and deeds!"
"You don't have to do this, Knight Commander Jassimodo." The commander of the Night Watch's Eastern Legion, Bryce Grade, raised his head from the command table and looked at these strange mercenaries.
They all wear armor and are equipped with swords and guns. They are considered a relatively sophisticated small mercenary group in the mercenary world.
Well, why are most of them women?
Bryce raised his eyebrows and glanced at Mil, Mia, Paige and Sheila in turn.
These guys are obviously still kids, right? Underage mercenaries? What the hell?
Even though the commander of the Night Watch was well-informed, he was also confused by the strange gender ratio and disparity in age distribution of the Blue Sword Mercenary Group.
After calming down, he decided to follow the razor principle and not go into the details. He just said seriously:
"Cang Qing Sword Mercenary Group, right?"
"Yes, Your Excellency." Ask said gently, "We hope to join the Night Watch's exploration team this time."
"We generally do not accept the joining of foreign mercenaries." Bryce said lightly, staring at him with sharp eyes like a falcon, "Unless there is a reason to do so."
"Reason? Yes." Ask said with a smile, "We are strong enough."
There was an audible silence in the tent for an instant. Commander Bryce showed no expression, Knight Commander Jasimodo showed a suspicious expression, and the girls all looked away guiltily.
Yes, the Blue Sword Mercenary Group is indeed very strong, but 99% of its strength comes from the leader Aske himself.
"Oh, how strong is it?" Bryce asked calmly.
"Measuring it in terms of physical strength Stamina, it's almost at the average level 2 level." Ask replied.
This sentence is quite true.
In terms of level, there are both level 3 extraordinary people and level 1 newcomers in the team.
In terms of attributes, after the Battle of Constantinople, the girls have digested a lot of extraordinary power, and their basic attributes are far better than those of normal adult men, and even much higher than ordinary level 1 extraordinary people.
Of course, when it comes to real technology, I don't know how high Asker's strength is.
Bryce was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that this unassuming little mercenary group leader actually knew the extraordinary term "physical power".
He showed a noncommittal expression, but silently activated his appraisal aura and scanned the mercenaries in front of him.
The most spiritual ones are the group leader named Ask, the thief girl (Mia) and the red-haired beauty (Medea). The strength of spiritual pressure of these three people is roughly equal to that of a level 3 transcendent.
In the Night Watch organization, level 3 extraordinary beings have basically graduated from retinues and can be promoted to official knights. In other words, the strength of these two is the same as that of the Night Watch knights.
Next are the female spear and shield warrior (Eleanor), the girl in mail (Peggy) and the girl in mask (Sheila). These are level 2, which is roughly equivalent to the strength of a senior knight's retinue.
Finally, there are the Tomahawk Warrior (Hydrifa), the Gunslinger (Mir) and the Sister (Nora), who are probably only level 1, and their strength is equivalent to that of a new member of the retinue.
2 regular knights, 4 senior retinues, and 3 new retinues. Even if they are placed in the Night Watch team, it is enough to be used to open up wasteland and explore.
Even if he does not have extraordinary characteristics, he is still qualified to participate in this exploratory operation due to his physical fitness that is far beyond the level of ordinary people after being strengthened by extraordinary power.
But that's not necessarily the case in terms of discipline. If you don't obey orders, it will be a time bomb in the undead incident. The stronger you are, the harder it will explode.
However, most of the Blue Sword mercenary group are girls? They don’t look like they are rebellious.
Commander Bryce thought for a moment and said:
"Jasimodo, you brought these people in. Just follow your Morning Star Team Three."
"If anything happens, you are responsible for it." He made the final decision.
