Chapter 694

Deep in the Wharton prairie, more than 30 men, women and children dressed as mercenaries pulled a plow around an ox and walked west along the channel of the shallow river.

Like most mercenary regiments, they bring their families, support the old and bring the young. Only 17 people are really equipped with weapons, and they are the most common leather armor, bow and arrow, skin round shield and wooden handle spear. Only a few people are equipped with sophisticated lock armor, leather armor, helmet, throwing spear and long sword.

They are undoubtedly the core combat power of this small mercenary regiment, and the others are only auxiliary, while the old and children without combat ability belong to the hostages handed over by the mercenary regiment to the employer.

The mercenary regiment without family members is difficult to gain the trust of the employer and is often repeatedly checked by the sentry guards. Of course, the personnel structure of the family nature is a general phenomenon of the mercenary corps, and the most important identity expression of the mercenary Corps is the flag registered in local churches.

The short horned ox plow carries all the belongings of the small mercenary regiment. There is a flag inserted in the front of the plow, which roughly depicts a burning lion, so they are called the fire lion mercenary regiment.

It is the end of February in the earth season. Spring is strong, and the endless green has spread to the end of the day. The shallow river with transparent water quality is like a pure and flawless jade belt, winding between the grass and the sky. Purple Lilac flowers are dotted. Just look at one of them. They connect into a piece, which adds moving color to the prairie in spring and brings rich fragrance to the fresh and humid air.

The big prairie rabbit and prairie gopher are not afraid of the mercenary regiment driving cattle to climb the plow, but are only wary of the goshawks circling in the air. In the mercenary regiment, in addition to half the children happily chasing rabbits and gophers, even the black haired guard dogs ignored the close prey.

These things that don't know how to be afraid of people are really easy to catch. They are almost tired of eating.

Walking on the vibrant and wonderful prairie, the old man of the fire lion mercenary regiment was full of sadness. There are clean water, a variety of wild vegetables, and readily available prey. At the same time, it also means that there are no people around, no solid foothold for defense, and there will be monsters and beasts.

The small fire lion mercenary regiment should not appear here. The old people in the team are experienced old mercenaries. They can't understand why Deputy Head Theodore doesn't advise head octavel to choose from the front line of Whitewater fortress, bypass the man horse hills of Dodo, and then go north to reach the ghost forest development point.

Although the route is a little far away and the transit fee must be paid to the Lord's post on the way, the risk of the journey is also small. Unlike going deep into the prairie, it is easy to get lost. The terrain is still very open. There are no hidden spots around. Once targeted by the Jackal tribe, it is difficult to escape.

The old mercenaries only complained about deputy commander Theodore in private, and never dared to put forward their opinions to commander octavel. Because she is not only the head of the fire lion mercenary regiment, but also a female ranger in the church. She has the status of Knight aristocracy.

In fact, the original head of the mercenary regiment was Theodore. The oldest mercenary has followed him for six years. It is said that Theodore was once the backbone of the fire lion mercenary regiment. He was angry because the old head died unexpectedly and was excluded by his companions. He followed the granddaughter of the old head with his wife Ruth, sister penny and brother-in-law Todd and set up another door, But still under the banner of the fire lion mercenary regiment.

Octavier was not satisfied with being only a female mercenary. She took the savings of the mercenary regiment and registered herself as a Ranger in the church. She left halfway for a few years, but she didn't get any fame. Two months ago, Theodore received a message from octavel at a church in the kingdom of dodo. She is already a fighting female trainee knight, and is preparing to recruit followers to take a chance in the development of ghost forest. She left a message to ask the fire lion mercenary regiment registered in her name to meet her.

So Theodore took his companions to the meeting point designated by the message and met octavel and her three followers.

Not seen in a few years, miss octaville has become more beautiful. If it weren't for her dark red hair, gray green eyes and vaguely familiar facial features, the old people of the mercenary regiment dare not recognize her.

In any case, octavel is now a real knight aristocrat, and of course the fire lion mercenaries follow her.

However, the female Ranger and head of the mercenary Corps seems unreliable.

"Damn shuitao town police station, it's not enough to drive us out of the tavern. It's shameless to force my carriage and horse... A group of guys without a sense of honor!" Octavel walked at the front of the line, complaining endlessly.

She and the Red Lion mercenary regiment were driven out of the mercenary tavern by the Sheriff of shuitao town many days ago. At that time, she didn't feel anything. Now there is no carriage. She drives a short horned cow slowly on the road with a plow, which makes her more and more unconvinced.

In fact, the main reason is that there is no money. The fire lion mercenary regiment bought this short horned cow and purchased some supplies. Octavel became a poor head. He can't even take out the transit fee. He can only cut some wood into a plow and take a bunch of his men to walk in the uninhabited field.

When did miss octaville hold back so much? She didn't care about money before. As a result, "how to say... It seems that she was exiled. She was put into the depths of the prairie by people. If she didn't meet us, she can only find a way to survive after waking up and find a way to leave the prairie."

"You can go out by walking along the shallow river on the grassland." Ruth said with a smile.

"It's actually very difficult." Scout Todd took over the topic, shook his head and said: "The Wharton river has many curved tributaries in the prairie. If I hadn't memorized the geomorphic map of the main channel of the Wharton River in advance and walked along the widest channel only by experience, it is likely to bring everyone into a large wetland. It will be very difficult to cross the swamp wetland and find the shallow river. Even the wetland is the end of the tributary, and there is no outlet channel at all."

"This noble victim is looking for a way out on the prairie alone. With good luck, he can go out in a month. If he is not lucky, he may be trapped for two or three years."

Penny said in a clear voice, "in my opinion, she will probably die on the road if she runs alone."

Due to the water source, the victims who walk alone can only find a way out in the strange grassland. They can only walk along the river. They may meet grassland herdsmen or break into the nest of a monster community. Unless they have the strength of silver knights, identify the direction and walk in a straight line, they can leave the grassland in two days and one night.

The girl in distress was abandoned in the depths of the prairie. She didn't look like a Silver Knight.

Ruth thought and concluded: "For some reason, the child was exiled to the prairie. The exile's means were unusual. In a way we didn't understand, he left a dangerous smell to prevent intuitive monsters and beasts from hurting her while she was sleeping. The man didn't want to kill her or show up publicly, but most likely, he deliberately arranged for us to rescue her."

Theodore looked around warily, shook his head in confusion and said: "The young lady temporarily changed her route and chose to go directly from the prairie to the ghost forest to open up a spot. Who can master our whereabouts in advance and hide from the young lady's perception? Are there spies in the mercenary regiment? However, those guys have been with us for several years, everyone's details have been clearly understood. The people with problems have been cleared away long ago, and there should be no traitors."

The grand Colonel octavel's thoughts were misty at this time and turned a deaf ear to the concerns of his followers.

She didn't want to kill her, and didn't want her to appear in public; she carefully arranged her way back, and exiled her to the depths of the prairie... There's a story... Octavel felt more and more fun and excited secretly, so she almost danced. She stepped forward and opened the girl's eyes, and the expression on her face suddenly changed, showing meditation and prudence.

Bright eyes?! descendants of nahtigar, noble golden blood?

As long as you contact kite castle, commander Weier can quickly find out the true identity of the victim and speculate the context of the incident. However, she has re selected her own path. Unless the Auguste family is in danger of exterminating the family, she will not regain her past identity and strength. As a Ranger living at the bottom, the victim is just a victim and noble Her golden blood has no light with her.

However, Vera is sure that even if she is now a little Ranger with no reputation, few people in the world can arrange her encounter. Except Sylvia, there is only the power of fate.

"According to the rules of mercenaries, what should we do when we meet the victims?" Colonel Weil stood up, turned his head and asked his followers.

"The church asked the mercenaries to help the victims they met by chance. If you take her to any church, you can get the praise of the stationed priest, which is good for the mercenary regiment. But... Miss, this is the wild." Theodore answered and reminded him that he obviously didn't want his master to get into trouble. He politely said that he should leave the noble girl behind.

The female Ranger shook her dark red ponytail, showed a narrow smile, and said, "feed her a bottle of face changing medicine, and then take her on the road."
