Chapter 372: Before the Red Arrow City Gate
There were two brilliant suns in the sky, and the blue sky was exceptionally clear.
On a rather rugged and narrow mountain road, several carriages covered with tarpaulins were slowly advancing under the guard of a team of mercenaries.
It can be observed from the corner of the tarpaulin that is occasionally blown by the breeze.
What was delivered in it were ordinary seasonings and salt, nothing special.
At this time, because the side of the road is an unobstructed cliff, it looks foggy and bottomless.
Therefore, the middle-aged businessman who was driving in the carriage at the head looked extra cautious, holding the reins of the old horse in front of him tightly with both hands, not daring to be careless for a moment.
On the contrary, the mercenaries walking around seemed a little relaxed, talking to each other in low voices.
Now they are already very close to their destination.
For a while, the creaking sound of the wooden carriage, the whistling sound of the strong wind from below the cliff, and the low-pitched conversation with the mercenaries came one after another.
It forms a very suitable and very common journey scene.
"Captain, after passing this mountain, we will reach the border of Chijian Town. We have been camping out in the wilderness for several days. We must have a good drink in a while!"
I saw a handsome male mercenary in leather armor with a trace of immaturity on his face, looking forward to the sassy female mercenary with a rather delicate appearance.
"The newcomer, you boy... Could it be that you are playing our captain's idea?"
On the other side, a middle-aged male mercenary with a square shield came up to him with a smirk on his face, and joked, "Our captain's nickname is a **** rose with thorns.
Not only its own strength, but it has reached the second-order peak level that people look up to, which can be described as extremely strong.
Moreover, you are still famous for a thousand cups of non-drunk, just you little tender eggplant, you should go back and practice for a few more years. "
"Senior, no...it's not what you think!"
Hearing this, the young and handsome mercenary quickly waved his hands, blushing and said: "I just think the captain is very sassy, and I want to be a professional mercenary like the captain!"
"Old Roque, you have been in the defensive position in our team for some years, right?
By the way, isn't it our captain who you aimed at at the beginning? Why didn't he succeed, and taught the newcomers a lesson? "
At this moment, a middle-aged priest with a few patches on his white robe raised his eyebrows solemnly and said.
"I'm talking about healing, don't talk nonsense, I... the youngest kid in my family can use soy sauce!"
Hearing this, Old Rock, who was holding a shield, blushed, and quickly explained: "I just want the newcomers to learn to retreat in spite of difficulties.
You know, our captain is the dream lover of many mercenaries! It is not a good thing to make too many enemies, of course, including love rivals. "
"Well, now is not the time for such jokes."
At this moment, the sassy female mercenary who hadn't spoken all this time frowned slightly and said, "Have you forgotten where our destination is?"
Hearing this, Rock immediately closed his mouth with a playful smile, leaving only the handsome mercenary with a confused face, and said blankly: "Captain.
Is this Chijian Town different from other towns? "
"New here, you don't know, this Chijian Town is a famous cruel place in the surrounding area."
Shaking his head helplessly, the mercenary priest with a patch on his white robe began to explain: "There is only one industry in this Red Arrow Town.
That is to breed a large number of violent magic bead monsters by the river, and then sell the magic beads produced by them to make a lot of profits.
However, because this kind of monster is extremely difficult to raise, no matter when collecting magic beads or feeding, you may encounter its fatal attack.
And the final fate is very obvious, and this kind of thing happens almost every day in Chijian Town. "
"It turned out to be like this..."
Hearing this, Qingxiu's mercenary swallowed involuntarily, and then said: "If that's the case, why don't you add some protective measures to reduce casualties?
Or, simply switch to a new industry? "
"Because the people in power here don't allow it."
A sassy voice sounded, and the captain of the female mercenary sighed softly.
Then he said: "As for the strengthening of protective measures, for those in power here, it is naturally because the cost and maintenance costs are too high.
Compared with these high costs, the death of some insignificant residents every day is obviously a perfect deal. "
Just when a few mercenaries said this.
Turning around, the convoy had already driven out of the mountain road and came to a spacious avenue.
At this time, the outline of a town not far away began to catch everyone's eyes.
Just when both of them were a little nervous.
There was a sudden commotion in the caravan ahead.
"Old guy, this girl has never appeared in your caravan before."
At this time, I saw the captain of the black-armored soldier pointing to a well-developed young girl next to him.
Then he asked a gray-haired old businessman, "Who is this person?"
"My lord, this is the old man's daughter, and it's the first time I've come out to do business with the old man, so it's strange to see her, and I hope my lord will see it clearly."
Hearing this, the old businessman bowed to respond, and immediately took out a big money bag tactfully, and handed it over respectfully.
After taking the money bag, the captain of the black-armored soldier weighed it in his hand, and he nodded slightly with a look of satisfaction on his hostile face.
Next, when everyone thought that the storm had passed.
The captain of the black-armored soldier first put the money bag into his arms.
Then, he ordered to the group of black-armored soldiers behind him: "You actually want to buy my lord with money, so it can be seen that that girl must be a secret agent.
Take it back to me, my lord will interrogate her in person in a while! "
Speaking of this, a wicked smile appeared on the face of the captain of the black armored soldier.
At the beginning, without concealing it, he looked up and down on the young girl's delicate body with bumps and convexities.
"My lord, I misunderstood! She is just an old little girl!" Hearing this, the old businessman hurriedly stood in front of the terrified young woman and began to explain.
"Old man, how dare you hinder my lord?!"
The captain of the black-armored soldier spat at an elderly businessman and threatened, "I think you're tired of working!"
After finishing speaking, the captain of the black-armored soldier suddenly burst out with a strong murderous aura, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and pointed it at the old businessman's old neck.
Seeing this scene, the mercenaries guarding the old businessman all silently lowered their heads, unable to think of resistance at all.
Their mission was to **** the caravan to its destination, and it was obviously not within the scope of their mission to contend with these murderous soldiers.
And the other mercenaries and merchants around turned their heads one after another, with unbearable but helpless expressions on their faces.
They can't afford to provoke these arrogant soldiers.
You know, standing behind these soldiers is the Marquis of Rocky who can cover the sky with one hand!
Seeing the obedient expressions of the crowd around him, the captain of the black-armored soldier had a murderous smile on his face.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his sword without hesitation, and was about to slash at the old businessman.
"stop!"
At this moment, a resolute voice sounded, interrupting the actions of the captain of the black-armored soldier.
Hearing this, not only the captain of the black-armored soldiers, but also the mercenaries and businessmen around them looked around in surprise.
It was that handsome young mercenary who made the sound.
After a moment of dazed state.
The first to show panic was the middle-aged mercenary Roque and the middle-aged priest next to him.
These two are veteran mercenaries, so they naturally know the consequences of doing so.
At that time, not only this handsome new mercenary will be beheaded on the spot.
Moreover, even they may not be able to escape the responsibility!
"My **** ~ How did the captain recruit such a stunned young man?"
Thinking of this, Rock felt like crying, and he tugged on the sleeve of the young mercenary.
With a playful smile on his face, he said to Captain Heijia: "My lord, this kid was talking to a villain just now, and I hope you will forgive me for interrupting my lord's execution of his official duties."
However, the young mercenary broke free from Rock's arm, and instead of retreating, he stubbornly took a step forward.
"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've met such a tough guy, I wonder if I can survive my full blow?"
Seeing this scene, the captain of the black-armored soldiers laughed back angrily. The long sword in his hand reflected a cold light, and immediately led a group of black-armored soldiers over.
However, at this moment.
A slender figure exuding an imposing manner slowly stood in front of the captain of the black-armored soldier.
