Chapter 40: No hesitation
The 12-member veteran mercenary force who accepted the mission and was brainwashed would not easily believe what these strangers said, because compared to Worf Dashi, who was not very friendly with ordinary mercenaries, and a person of unknown origin who claimed to be Prince Tessali, they must be more willing to believe Richard, the city lord who has always had a good reputation and organized the mission to stop many Bommer conspiracys!
What's more, it is very likely that Wolf Dashi and Wells will be regarded as Tessali traitors with ulterior motives and spies of Bommer as soon as they appear, and it is very likely that there will be a direct conflict when they meet......
——————————————————————————
The firewood was still burning, and the rabbit meat that was stuck in the branches was baked by the flames, constantly secreting a little bit of fat, and the grease dripped onto the burning firewood and made a crackling sound, and the fish and meat were far from cooking, and Master David and Keith first ate the gray bread that was already a little hard to fill the already a little empty stomach.
The sky had slowly darkened, and only the flickering flames of the campfire reflected the faces of the four people around them in an extremely strange way, and the blue silk threads on the tent showed dazzling brilliance under the orange flames, setting off the Tessali holy beast Ixion unicorn particularly sacred, like an eternal existence that will never retreat in the flames.
After the ash bread was eaten, Master David and Keith Swordsman, who were wary of each other, naturally had nothing to talk about, and the people around the campfire fell silent for a while......
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves trampling the dead branches and leaves in the jungle sounded sparsely from a distance, and an ordinary team of four mercenaries was deployed, riding lightly on horseback, and rode from the path to the river where Master David and the others were camping.
At this time, Keith, Hall, and Eddie couldn't care about being wary of Master David, and immediately got up and pulled out the long sword on their waists and shouted a warning, and Master David was also vigilant, straightened up and held the long sword on his waist with his right hand.
"Who are you? We are the city guards on an important mission in Billy City, mercenaries quickly retreat and keep their distance!
The four old mercenaries rode horses, holding the reins in one hand, the five fingers of the other hand spread high, the long sword lying quietly in the scabbard at the waist, the javelin stuck in the pouch around the horse's neck, and hearing the warning of the Keith swordmaster, neatly pulled the reins to stop the horse, showing no hostility.
Among them, the old mercenary who took the lead rode a horse half a position beyond the other partners, with sloppy sideburns, a beard on his face, a big yellow tooth when he smiled, and a kind face (dang), and shouted out the intention of himself and others very boldly.
"We accepted the commission of the city lord of Billy City Richard, and we were ordered to personally deliver a letter to the captain of the Billy City City Guard, Lord David Great Sword Master!", he took out a letter from his arms, this old mercenary turned out to be the leader of the 12-person old mercenary team, the old mercenary three!
Master David and Keith Swordsman exchanged glances, Keith Swordsman walked out of the garrison circle clearly, but did not take a few steps, and shot two arrows from two trees not far away, one was inserted into Keith Swordsman's way forward, and the other narrowly grazed Keith Swordsman's cheek and shot behind him!
Caught off guard, Keith Swordsman almost caught their way, and immediately rebounded and retreated to the garrison, trying his best to protect his whole body from the dark arrows that might be shot around him.
"You don't really think that we will come out so rashly without the slightest preparation?!" The four old mercenaries turned over and dismounted at this time, sorted out their equipment, and the old mercenary shouted, "According to the request of the city lord Richard, I will personally hand over this letter to Master David!"
The three Keith Swordsmen remained vigilant about the woods, which had gradually become enveloped in darkness, and looked at Master David solemnly, as if asking for his advice...... After all, even if they need to be vigilant against Master David, even if they have long guessed that these people are probably from the envoy of Richard's city lord, but now they still need to rely on the strength of Master David, and in this kind of situation, they can't let the current powerful guards be lost so inexplicably.
And in case Master David can't work at this time, it will be worth the loss of one or two Keith Sword Masters.
Master David didn't have any apprehension, after all, the strength of his great sword master was there, and he was fully armed and vigilant in advance, and finally he was very clear about Richard's plan for the city lord...... After all, the number of times Master David and Richard City Lord have cooperated is not once or twice!
Master David walked out of the garrison circle slowly, and his right hand didn't even hold the hilt of the sword hanging on his waist, so he walked straight to the old mercenary and the third mercenary.
The old mercenary looked respectfully handed the two letters mixed together to Master David, and said softly, "Your Excellency the City Guard of David, we have accepted the task entrusted by the old city lord Richard, and we must tell you that the identity letters of several so-called royal envoys of the Tessali royal family around you have been forged, and the real ambassador has been murdered!"
"Their true identity is that of a spy sent by Bommer," said the old mercenary who came here, the third rested, perhaps waiting for Master David to slowly digest the information they brought, and then said, "And the purpose of their operation this time is to lead you to the encirclement of the ambush of the Bommer killers, and to kill you and destroy our Billy City, our Tessali strength!"
"It may be hard for you to believe what I am saying now, but this letter is a letter handed over to you by Lord Richard City, and this letter will definitely prove what I said!" the old mercenary said to another letter, "This is a forged letter, talking about the city lord's instructions to you and the recent situation of some of the Bommer army, you can use it to confuse the group of Bommer spies, I hope you can be prepared for their ambush, I believe that with your strength, you will not fall into Bommer's tricks!"
At this time, the old mercenary Lao San breathed a sigh of relief gently, and the three people behind the third child were also a little more relaxed, his eyes were fanatical, staring straight at Master David and slowly opened the letter and began to read, after all, half of this glorious task had been successfully completed, and the rest was to consider how to retreat safely without alarming any Bommers......
After Master David read the two letters, he shook one of the two letters with a speed that the old mercenaries couldn't see, and the letters immediately turned into crumbs that were more crumbs than crumbs.
"I have a general understanding of the specific situation, and it is basically the same as what you said!" Master David said solemnly to reassure the old mercenaries, and shook off the remaining letters with his left hand, "Thank you! Your task has been completed perfectly, and the rest will be left to me!"
The eyes of several old mercenaries were attracted by the letters that were whiter in the night, and Master David's approval and righteous words made them feel as if they had been redeemed!
At this moment, a hand wrapped in reddish-brown armor pierced the chest of the old mercenary third at great speed!
At this time, Master David's eyes were cold, and he did not hesitate to make a move!
