Thank you book friends for your continued support. Xiaosan’s new book will be updated in early August after the end of Airspeed Star Trace. I already have an idea. I hope you will continue to support me. Thank you——
Xuan Ye's whole body was shocked. Of course he knew what staying meant. He quickly drew a cross in the air with the wrath of the gods. The golden cross flashed four rays of light in succession, and was injected into the bodies of the four holy judges.
The holy judge suddenly became energetic. With the help of the divine power contained in the Holy Cross, he once again repelled a wave of enemy attacks. Xuan Ye sighed secretly and shouted: "Warriors of God, the Holy See is proud of you.
, your souls will ascend to heaven and receive the favor of the gods." He held back his tears, activated the divine power in his body, and suddenly chased the clergy ahead. The important figures in the Holy See's battle this time were
Only he, Xuan Yuan and Babulun were left. This could be said to be the biggest loss and the biggest shame for the Holy See since its establishment a thousand years ago.
Xuan Yuan used his fighting spirit to support his body and float in the air, constantly killing the chasing Yi Ren. Suddenly, a golden figure appeared. Xuan Yuan's heart trembled, knowing that the Wing Ren King was chasing after him. He shouted loudly,
Using his last remaining strength, he waved a palm towards the golden figure, and golden light in the shape of a handprint suddenly appeared.
The Winged King held the sword in both hands and slashed at the oncoming palm-shaped energy like lightning. A situation completely opposite to the first encounter between the two occurred. Xuanyuan was shocked by the Winged King and spurted blood back, falling towards the ground.
Xuanyuan's skill had already been overdrawn in the battle between them, so how could he withstand such a powerful attack at this time? The King of Yi Ren was overjoyed when he saw Xuanyuan being repelled by him. Of course he knew that Xuanyuan
He is the most important person in the Holy See's trip. If he can be killed, it must be a great achievement. He was about to chase Xuanyuan, but he was surprised to find a sharp strong wind coming from behind him. The strong wind contained a huge
The sacred energy was an attack that could threaten his life. In desperation, the Winged King had no choice but to give up the pursuit, turned around suddenly, and struck the sharp wind with all his strength. When he turned around, what he saw was a tower-shaped
The object, with a loud bang, the tower-shaped object flew back, but the long sword of the Winged Man King had been shattered inch by inch, and he also spurted blood and flew away under this powerful attack. Xuan Ye's figure appeared in front of him
Not far away, a flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the King of Wings. The God's Judgment that Xuan Ye used before left a deep impression on him. The royal family of the King of Wings and the royal family of the Elf King are the same. They are both inherited from a single lineage.
, he always valued his own life more than anything else, and he did not dare to fight anymore, so he flew high into the sky.
Xuan Ye looked at the back of the Winged Man King who disappeared before his eyes, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In his current situation, there was no way he could be the Winged Man King's opponent. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used the Wrath of God to attack just now.
Fortunately, he finally used the power of the artifact to scare away the King of Wings. Now Xuan Ye only has one thought in his mind, which is to return to the Holy See as soon as possible and ask the Pope to personally deal with this matter. But, they really
Can they leave the Tianyuan clan safely? Will the remaining eleven dark kings let them go so easily?
Four men and one woman from the Red Hurricane Clan passed through the city gate and entered the Red Hurricane City, the capital of the Red Hurricane Clan. The costumes of these five people were very strange in the eyes of ordinary people. Three of them were wearing light, wind and fire clothing.
Magician robe, but the only woman wore a striking red armor. Her plump figure was full of seductive wildness, attracting the attention of many passers-by. The crescent-shaped mercenary logo on her left chest showed her identity.
The only person who doesn't look professional in his attire is a tall young man. He is wearing a black robe. He is tall. Although his appearance is ordinary, he exudes a special temperament. Domineering, yes, that is domineering, not allowed.
A lifetime of domineering. He just nodded and walked away, but no one dared to look at him any longer. They were none other than Ah-Dai and his group. After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the capital of the Red Hurricane Clan.
The birthplace of mercenaries.
Red Hurricane City is the place that all mercenaries yearn for most. This large city covers an area of about 20,000 square kilometers. People in various mercenary attires can be seen everywhere. There are many streets on both sides, and there are merchants selling armors and weapons. Ordinary shops are everywhere.
It's much less.
"We finally arrived. This Red Hurricane City is really big! After living in the Solo Federation for so long, this is my first time here." Oliveira said with some excitement.
Keanu no longer dares to be interested in novel things. His body and mind are focused on Yue Ji. Hearing Oliveira's words, he said disdainfully: "There are many strange things, they are all the same city." After these days,
Although Yue Ji would not give him a good look, Keanu was not repelled by him. Keanu was easily satisfied. As long as he could look at Yue Ji all the time, he would already feel very happy. Since he
After fighting Oliveira with the Flame Dragon that day, Oliveira actually calmed down a lot and no longer joked about the matter between him and Tsukihime.
Oliveira retorted: "What do you know, a guy with little knowledge? Red Hurricane City is the birthplace of mercenaries and one of the most worthwhile places on the mainland. People who come here should go to the Mercenary Association
Look, it's equivalent to living in vain." After saying that, there was a look of contempt on his face. The other people were already used to the bickering between them, and Dui said: "We wasted a lot of time before,
We can’t stay here too long. Since Vera said that mercenaries are always worth visiting, let’s go and have a look. Then we will leave here and go to the Puyan tribe. Xuanri, what do you think?”
Xuan Yue lowered her head and walked forward. She seemed not to have heard what everyone said. She frowned and didn't know what she was thinking. When she heard Ah-Dai's question, she raised her head blankly and said, "What? Brother, what did you say?"
Duan looked at Xuan Yue with a concerned expression and said: "I just said that I can't stay here for too long and want to go to the Puyan tribe as soon as possible. Brother, what's wrong with you? You don't seem to be looking very good today! Is that right?
Is there anything uncomfortable about it?" Since that night, Ah-Dai finally recognized his own strength, and his personality has gradually begun to change. His previous dullness has gradually disappeared, and his overwhelming domineering attitude has gradually formed, with a trace of majesty showing in every move he makes.
.In the past few days, every night when he fell asleep, he would dream about the fragments that flashed in his mind. The images of the fragments seemed to be much clearer, as if there were many people fighting, and there would often be bursts of brilliant colors in the images.
The light was shining, but Dui didn't know what it meant.
Xuan Yue sighed and said: "Brother, there is nothing uncomfortable about my body, but I don't know why, but today I suddenly felt frightened, as if something had happened."
Yue Ji came over and said: "So you still have the ability to predict! Are we in any danger? If so, you should make more accurate predictions."
After hearing what Yue Ji said, how could Keanu give up the opportunity to perform? He quickly came forward, patted his chest and said: "Miss Yue Ji, don't worry, even if there is danger, don't be afraid, I will definitely protect you."
You, I won't let you get hurt at all." Looking at Keanu's serious look, Yue Ji felt a funny feeling in her heart. She did not reject him, but said angrily: "There's no need to be so anxious to show off."
Keanu suddenly became embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "I, I am telling the truth."
Xuan Yue said: "I don't have any ability to predict. This is a vague spiritual connection. Moreover, it is not that something will happen to us, but what happens in the Holy See. This is a kind of spiritual connection that I have had since I was a child.
It feels like whenever something big happens in the Holy See, I will feel an inexplicable throbbing in my heart. I hope it won’t be a big deal."
Dui comforted: "Brother, I think your worries are unnecessary. Don't you know how strong your Holy See is? There is no need to worry too much. Let's go to the Mercenary Association to have a look.
Don’t you still want to change Yueyue’s mercenary card? There must be special mercenary cards there. I just don’t know if there are any missions about Death Mountain.”
Looking at Dumb's deep black eyes, Xuan Yue felt a little better, but she vaguely felt that things were not that simple. But she also knew that it was useless to worry now. This place was far away from the Holy See. Even if something happened, she would rush
There is no rush to go back. Mercenaries always wonder what it will be like. The worries in Xuan Yue's heart gradually disappeared, and her curiosity arose again. She smiled and said: "That's good! Brother, go find someone to ask.
The mercenaries are always somewhere." Seeing Xuan Yue return to normal, Ah-Dai showed a faint smile, looked at a small shop next to him and said, "Just go there and ask."
The five people walked into the store. There were various armors and weapons hanging on the walls of the store. They were all ordinary weapons, nothing special and good. Naturally, they wouldn't notice them. The clerk in the store started to look at them.
Seeing a customer coming to the door, he hurriedly came over with a smile on his face, "Guys, what do you want? We are the most famous weapons store in Red Hurricane City. As long as you name it, we have almost all of them. Several magicians
Sir, we have some excellent magic weapons here, if you want to add one or two, we will definitely make your magic practice more advanced."
Yue Ji snorted disdainfully and said: "All the weapon shops in Red Hurricane City seem to say the same thing. Who knows which one is true."
There was a hint of embarrassment in the clerk's expression, and he said with a smile: "Those stores are all nonsense. Ours is the most authentic weapons store. Take a look at it, and you will see that they are all high-quality products."
Dumb said: "We came all the way from other places, not because we want to buy weapons, but because we want to visit the mercenary general meeting. Can you please give us some directions? Red Hurricane City is so big, how can the mercenary general meeting be done?"
Where is it?"
When the clerk heard Ah-Dai mention the Mercenary Association, he immediately showed a respectful look and said: "The Mercenary Association is in the east of the city. It is the tallest building in the city. As long as you keep walking eastward along this street,
You will naturally see it after walking for more than an hour. However, because the mercenary club has limited space, and all mercenaries want to visit that mercenary resort, the mercenary club has made regulations. Generally
Mercenaries are not allowed to enter the club directly, only level one or above. Other mercenaries must receive tasks from the other two branches in the city. Red Hurricane City can be said to be the only city in the entire continent that has three mercenaries.
The place where the military union is located." When he said this, he couldn't help showing pride, and he was obviously full of feelings for Red Hurricane City.
After listening to his words, Oliveira and Keanu suddenly showed dissatisfaction. Dumb, Xuan Yue and Yue Ji are all special mercenaries, so they are not afraid of this restriction, but they are not mercenaries at all. If it is really like what this guy said
That way, they would not be able to enter the mercenary association at all. Oliveira couldn't help but ask: "Is there no other way to enter the mercenary association?"
The clerk looked outside the store, then lowered his voice and said: "Of course there is a way. If low-level mercenaries want to enter the association, they can enter with the concession token issued by the association. The relationship between the store and the mercenary association has always been good.
, I just have a few tokens, if you want to join the association, we can bear the pain and part with them, they can’t be sold elsewhere.”
Xuan Yue looked at Yue Ji and said: "Sister Yue Ji, you have been here before. Have you ever heard that you need a token to enter the mercenary association?" She always felt that this guy smiled very sinisterly and could not be trusted.
of.
Yue Ji frowned and said, "Although I have been here before, I was always on delivery missions. I have never had the opportunity to go to the mercenary association. However, I did hear that only first-level mercenaries can enter the association.
The token thing should be true. Let’s just buy a few. His shop can’t run away anyway. If he dares to lie to us, he will demolish his shop when he comes back. How much do you have for the token?”
The clerk quickly apologized and said with a smile: "The token is absolutely genuine. Because the quantity is limited, the price is a little higher. Fifty gold coins a piece. How many do you want to buy?"
Yue Ji frowned and said: "It's so expensive, you might as well grab it. It's just a few broken iron plaques." The monthly salary of an ordinary mercenary in the Yuehen Mercenary Group is only ten gold coins, and fifty gold coins.
For an ordinary family, it is enough to live a prosperous life for one year.
The clerk rubbed his hands and said: "This is the price set by the boss. I am just a part-time worker and can't make the decision! Besides, as a mercenary, it is such an honor to be able to join the Mercenary Association! Why do you have to
Do you care about these small amounts of money? Let’s do this, if you buy tokens and then buy other things, I can give you a 10% discount, how about that?”
Dumb said: "Forget it, just buy two tokens. We don't need other things. Brother Xuanri, give him the money." Xuanyue took out a diamond coin from her arms and threw it to the clerk. The clerk hurriedly accepted it happily.
He got down, ran behind the counter, took out two iron tokens and came out. He gave them to Ah-Dai respectfully. Ah-Dai took the iron tokens and took a look. He saw that the tokens were square, with the word "franchise" engraved on the front and the word "franchise" on the back.
It was engraved with the mercenary logo. The workmanship could not be said to be fine, nor was it rough at all. It looked very ordinary. No matter how I looked at it, I couldn't tell that it was worth fifty gold coins.
Yue Ji walked to Ah-Dai, looked at the charter token in his hand, took out the mercenary card from her arms, waved it in front of the clerk, and said: "Did you see, I am a special mercenary, if you lied to us
, this store of yours can’t survive in Red Hurricane City. Ah-Dai, let’s go.” After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the store. Ah-Dai threw the token in his hand to Oliveira and Keanu, and the five of them joined together.
Out of the store.
The guy looked at their leaving figures, snorted, and said to himself: "I'm just a special mercenary. What's there to be arrogant about? Although that thing is not valuable, it is indeed real, and you can't find me."
.A diamond coin. Today’s harvest is good. I think the boss will give me money for processing..."
The five dumb people followed what the guy said and quickly headed east of the city. More than an hour later, they finally saw their destination. The guy was right. It was still far away and they could clearly see it.
The building of the Mercenary Club. This is the tallest building that Dui has ever seen. The Anhao Nightclub in the Dark City was four stories high, but the tall building in front of him was more than twice as high. A huge bell-shaped building
There is only a gate with a height of four meters. In the center of the building that is more than 20 meters high, there is a logo of a mercenary union. Below the logo, the four characters of the Mercenary Union are written in Solo Federal and Vatican respectively. The gold-plated
The fonts are particularly obvious under the sunlight. It is now close to noon, and the door of the Mercenary Association is open, with many mercenaries coming and going.
Oliveira exclaimed: "What a huge scale! This mercenary association seems to be bigger than the headquarters of the Moonscar Mercenary Group. This is the first time I have seen such a tall building. It is bigger than the headquarters of our Magician Union."
The headquarters is much bigger. I always thought that magicians were a relatively wealthy profession. It seems that this mercenary union is the real rich man!" Yue Ji said: "Although the status of magicians is high, the number of people is very small.
But there are too few. The mercenaries are different. There are at least hundreds of thousands of mercenaries in the whole continent. Even if each person pays one gold coin to the mercenary association, there are hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Here is the association, the entire mercenary association.
The facade of the military world naturally needs to be built bigger. Come on, let's go in and take a look, and also identify whether the guy is cheating. Two pieces of broken iron plates actually cost as much as a hundred gold coins. Thinking about it, I
I feel depressed.”
While talking, the five people have arrived at the door of the Mercenary Union. There are four mercenaries guarding the door. They all have the logo of the Red Hurricane Mercenary Group on their chests. Looking at these four members of the Red Hurricane Mercenary Group, Yue Ji
She said disdainfully: "The Red Hurricane Mercenary Group is so powerful! They even guard the gate of the Mercenary Association." She spoke in a loud voice, which immediately attracted the attention of the mercenaries coming and going.
Xuan Yue whispered: "Sister, I know you don't like the Red Hurricane Mercenary Group, but this is their territory after all, so we'd better keep a low profile."
Yue Ji nodded and said: "I know. Huh, sooner or later, our Moon Mark Mercenary Group will kick them all out of Red Hurricane City and become a new super mercenary group." After saying that, she strode towards
She walked inside the mercenary club, and as soon as she reached the door, a mercenary from the Red Hurricane Tribe stopped her and said, "Please show your mercenary card. Mercenaries below the first level are not allowed to enter the headquarters at will."
Yue Ji took out her golden card from her arms and waved it in front of the mercenary, then walked in without looking back. The mercenary guarding the door showed a trace of surprise in his eyes. He never expected that such a young girl could actually
He has the status of a special mercenary. At this moment, the four of Ah-Dai also came over. Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue took the initiative to take out their mercenary cards. After seeing Ah-Dai's card, the gatekeeper mercenary said respectfully: "Please come in.
, special-level mercenaries can go directly to the second floor to receive tasks. My friend, your mercenary card is for a third-level mercenary. Although you are a magician, you cannot enter the union headquarters. You should go to the branch in the north."
As he spoke, he handed Xuan Yue's card back.
Dui hurriedly explained to Xuan Yue: "Actually, this brother of mine is also a special-level mercenary, but after completing the mission last time, his mercenary card has not been exchanged at the union. We are here just to exchange the card." Gatekeeper.
The mercenary was stunned and thought: There are so many strange things today! On weekdays, it is rare to see a special mercenary in a day, but why are three of them here today? You know, even among the Red Hurricane mercenary group, there are only
There were only a dozen or so special-level mercenaries. He nodded slightly to Dumb and said, "I'm sorry, we can only identify the identity through the mercenary card. If your friend is indeed a special-level mercenary, please go to the branch first.
Only after completing the upgrade procedures and exchanging the corresponding magic cards can we allow him to enter the headquarters. This is the rule of the headquarters. We are just gatekeepers and cannot make the decision."
Xuan Yue frowned and said: "Can't you be accommodating at all? It's different where you upgrade! At worst, you can follow us in and leave after confirming my mercenary level."
The gatekeeper mercenary shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, I told you, we are just gatekeepers and can't make the decision. You should please come back. The union has regulations and cannot be broken just because of you."
Xuan Yue was slightly angry in her heart and said calmly: "What if I have to go in?"
The gatekeeper mercenary had no intention of giving in, and said calmly: "Then you have no choice but to step in on my body." After hearing his words, Xuan Yue and Ah-Dai were surprised at the same time. They did not expect that even Hong Hong
An ordinary mercenary of the Hurricane tribe has such qualities. It seems that it is indeed a blessing for the Red Hurricane mercenary group to always occupy the throne of the first mercenary group!
Keanu was anxious to follow Yue Ji, took out his license token from his arms, and said: "I have this, I can always go in." The gatekeeper mercenary glanced at the token in his hand and nodded.
Said: "This is okay. Sir, please come in." This license token was originally issued by the Mercenary Federation to some large mercenary groups, allowing them to lead low-level mercenaries in the group to visit the Federation. And the previous store
The boss of the company was related to the leader of a first-level mercenary group, so he took these franchise tokens and resold them.
Keanu looked at Ah-Dai with some embarrassment and said: "Boss, it's not safe for Miss Yue Ji to go in alone. I'll go in first and wait for you inside." After that, without waiting for Ah-Dai's answer, he walked quickly.
Entering the mercenary club, Oliveira looked at his hurried back and couldn't help laughing, and murmured: "It's so inhumane to have the opposite sex! This guy is really addicted to unrequited love."
Dumb glared at Oliveira and said: "Don't talk nonsense. If Keanu hears it, I'm afraid I'll have to fight you again. You also have the token, so go in first. I don't trust either of them. Just keep staring."
Be sure not to let anything happen to them." Oliveira nodded, showed the token to the guard, then turned around and walked into the mercenary association.
Xuan Yue said: "Brother, what should we do now? Do we really want to go to that branch first? It's so troublesome." Being blocked outside, Xuan Yue was extremely dissatisfied.
Dui frowned and said: "I am also doing my duty faithfully, but this is difficult to handle. If it really doesn't work, I have to go to the branch first or buy a franchise token."
Xuan Yue's unruly temper rose. She walked up to the four guards and said angrily: "I won't go to the branch first. If anyone dares to stop me, don't blame me for being rude." A faint golden light came out,
Xuan Yue's body showed a strong aura. Dui was startled, and hurriedly floated forward, grabbed Xuan Yue's shoulders, and said, "Brother, don't mess around."
The four gate guards all drew out their long knives and stared at Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue. Although they all had frightened looks in their eyes, no one backed away. The conflict between the two sides was about to break out. The passing mercenaries stopped to watch.
There was a gleam of surprise in their eyes. No one has ever dared to cause trouble in the Mercenary Association? While the two sides were confronting each other, a clear voice sounded, "What's going on? What are you doing here?"
The mercenaries who were watching all looked to the rear. Someone said: "The deputy commander is here. Take a look. Is there anyone who dares to cause trouble at the entrance of the association?" The crowd moved out of the way.
A tall and strong figure walked in. When he saw Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue, he couldn't help being stunned. Both Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue knew this man. He was the deputy leader of the Red Hurricane Mercenary Group who had met in the Yajin tribe.
Zhu Yuan. Zhu Yuan strode up to them and asked in confusion: "What's going on? Why do you two have time to come to the Mercenary Association?"
Before Ah-Dai and the others could answer, the guard who had stopped Xuan Yue said: "Deputy Captain, this Mr. Magician does not have an identity certificate of the first-level mercenary group or above, but he still insists on entering the headquarters."
Xuan Yue snorted coldly and said: "I am originally a special-level mercenary, but I haven't had time to exchange for mercenary cards. There will always be something wrong with entering."
Zhu Yuan's eyes showed a look of surprise, "Oh? It turns out that brothers are also mercenaries! There are not many special mercenaries in the mainland, and I almost know them all. Which mercenary group are you from?"
Duan said: "We are from the Tiane Evil Mercenary Group. Brother Xuanri is the leader and I am the deputy leader. We are all special-level mercenaries. It's just that Brother Xuanri didn't have time to change his card, which made you laugh."
Zhu Yuan's whole body was shocked, and he lost his voice: "What? Are you the chief and deputy captain of the Tiane Evil Mercenary Group? Are you the one who helped the Yuehen Mercenary Group to conquer the Overlord Mercenary Group not long ago?"
Dumb was stunned and said: "You are very well informed! We just came from Varo City. Since we became mercenaries, we have not been to the General Assembly. We just wanted to visit."
Zhu Yuan looked at Dumb and Dui up and down, his heart beating rapidly, "How could I not know? The emergence of a decisive battle has always been a major event in the mercenary world, let alone challenging a special mercenary group? It turns out that your
The strength is so strong. That guy Overlord is not weak!" The Red Hurricane Mercenary Group has always been well-informed, and their informants are everywhere in the entire Red Hurricane Clan. When Lian Dan and Zhu Yuan learned that the Yuehen Mercenary Group and
After the alliance between the Overlord Mercenary Group, I was immediately shocked. The two forces combined were enough to threaten the status of the Red Hurricane Mercenary Group. And the initiators turned out to be the two young men in front of me. Moreover, they turned out to be
The chief and deputy leader of the Heavenly Evil Mercenary Group, which has been rumored for a long time in the mercenary world. Zhu Yuan has a good impression of Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue, especially Xuan Yue, who is the sweetheart of his only junior sister Tiya. Taking a deep breath, he
He said to the mercenary guarding the door: "The captain and deputy captains of the Heavenly Evil Mercenary Group are indeed special-level mercenaries. You don't need to stop them. Brothers, let's go in and talk. Let's all disperse." Regardless of Dumb and Xuan,
What is the purpose of Yue coming here? He has to try his best to win over the two of them. After all, the Red Hurricane Mercenary Group has been able to maintain its title as the first mercenary group in the mainland with all its efforts. After the threat appeared, he
The deputy leader naturally had to find a way to resolve the problem. The arrival of Dumb and Xuan Yue was a good opportunity for him to get to know the Yuehen Mercenary Group.
Dumb smiled slightly and said, "Thank you then, deputy captain."
Zhu Yuan smiled slightly and said: "Brothers, you're welcome. We are all deputy leaders of our regiment. If we have the chance, we should get closer and closer. Come on, I will take you in."
Zhu Yuan took Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue into the mercenary union headquarters. Although the decisive victory in Varo City had only been a few days, the Tiane Evil Mercenary Group had already become a myth passed down in the mercenary world. Some people even
He said that with just two of them, they had the strength of a super mercenary group. When they saw the legendary two people, many mercenaries immediately came up to talk to them.
"Deputy Captain Dumb, how did you defeat the 500 members of the Overlord Mercenary Group on your own that day? Do you already have the strength of a sword master?"
"Captain Xuanri, since you are so strong, why don't you raise your voice and recruit more mercenaries to join the Tiane Evil Mercenary Group? If that is the case, it should be possible to greatly increase your strength in a short period of time!"
"Captain Dumb, what is the relationship between your Heavenly Evil Mercenary Group and Yuehen Mercenary Group? Why are you willing to help them so much? If you are willing, I am willing to join your Heavenly Evil Mercenary Group." These constant questions
Almost all of them are low-level mercenaries like Oliveira and Keanu who entered with charter tokens.
Faced with this, Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue suddenly became bored, but when they first came here, they couldn't get into trouble with the mercenaries here, so they could only endure the boredom in their hearts and walked towards the mercenary association.
