The first is the tragic experience of being held hostage by the Demon Lord:

A clean, warm and comfortable bedroom. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Hanging on the wall at the head of the bed, landscape paintings and antique wooden hanging clocks. On the bedside table are a magic fluorescent lamppost with a pale blue glow, a heart-shaped glass ball music box with a conch inside, and a glass bottle with a light blue lily in it.

"Alas—another day has passed. Elder, Big Brother Noyachenko, Are, Little Ray, when will you come to save Sheila?—— Big Brother Tuckers, will you also come to see Sheila today?" I saw that in this bedroom, the elven lady in a pink nightgown with snow-white and soft skin - Xuera lifted the futon from the soft bed like Simmons, sat up, bent herself up, and muttered to herself.

"It looks like none of them are coming today. Sheila was going to be bored all day by herself. Luckily, there is a pudding fruit that I haven't eaten yesterday. On her young and lovely face, she smiled a little and encouraged herself.

After saying this, the elven lady got up, changed into her usual light blue cloak, sleeveless pink satin robe, and pink satin skirt, and walked out of the bedroom that the demon lord had arranged for her, and came to the dining table covered with a white tablecloth behind the white lacquered door.

The room where the dining table is located is as clean, tidy and beautiful as Shira's bedroom. The tables and chairs are made of the finest wood, finely carved. A complete set of silver and white gold tableware inlaid with rare jade is displayed on the table, which looks like gold. In the corner of the wall is a new white spell freezer made by the Demon Lord.

"Thanks to the Five Heroes, Sheila is about to go. Sheila sat down in the chair at the table and reached out to uncover the white gold sideboard that covered the large silver plate. A large piece of emerald green pudding on a silver plate was presented to her.

Then the elven lady took the silver spoon and scooped it up, but it seemed to become more elastic and tough, so she increased her strength and poked the pudding with the silver spoon even harder.

"zzzzzz grunt... Gollum! Gollum !!?" I didn't expect the "pudding" in front of me to suddenly scream. (Meaning: What are you going to do?!!!)

"Oops, Pudding, how did you come to life!?" said Sheila, who also cried out in surprise.

"Gollum, Gollum, Gollum..." Gollum protested loudly. (Meaning: Little girl, I haven't seen her for a few days, and you don't even know me anymore!You really want to eat me!?)

"Wow—— pudding. How did you learn to scream like the dirty, crude, disgusting alchemist you used to be?" Sheila asked, leaning her face in front of Gollum.

"Gollum! Gollum ?..." Gollum was even more upset when she heard this, and protested even louder. (Meaning: Isn't that me?)

"But though you're as green as that filthy thing, you're much prettier and cleaner than it is. The most important thing is that from now on, you are Shira's pet - Pudding. Sheila picked up Gollum and took the gelatinous monster into her arms and pressed it to her face.

"Gollum, Gollum, Gollum?..." Gollum struggled in Shella's arms. (Meaning: What nonsense are you talking about?What do you want to do?How can I become your pet?)

"Pudding, don't call it that anymore. Your name is Pudding, and your name should be cuckoo. As long as you listen to Mama's words. Ma Ma will immediately feed you cream ice cream. Sheila whispered to Gollum.

"Cuckoo... Cuckoo!... When the cuckoo ..." heard this, he immediately jumped up and down with excitement, and from then on he became a pudding. (Meaning: Mama, what's the cream ice cream? Bring it, I can't wait.) ）

So Shera got up and took out two boxes of cold, sweet, pink-colored cream cream from the spell freezer in the corner of the room, handed one of them to the pudding, and began to scoop the other with a silver spoon.

"Cuckoo... Cuckoo!... Cuckoo!... Bubugu !!..." Pudding immediately buried his head and slipped into the ice cream box to eat. Its orange-red core excitedly secreted a crystal clear liquid. (Meaning: It's delicious! It's so delicious! I'm in tears!It's definitely the best I've ever tasted in my life.) ）

This is the first time in his life that Pudding (Gollum) has been treated as an equal, and before that, it was mostly treated as garbage. Even Leonard just carries it with him as a dispensable mentally handicapped pet, and usually eats leftovers, which he uses to save the day when it is critical. That's it, and the gelatinous monster has never forgotten how good the Great Swordsman is to it.

The Great Swordsman refers to Leonard.

"Pudding, if you like it, eat more. Sheila's share is for you, too. Seeing Pudding's pitiful appetite, Sheila handed her box of cream ice cream to Pudding.

"Cuckoo... Cuckoo !——..." Pudding jumped to his feet, hugged her tightly with Sheila, and then fell back to the ground, jumping and jumping, and so excited, so excited, so excited, how happy she was.

[[[Go back two years :]]]

With the death of the Elven King Cleos, the Republic of Vosfita is also in ruin............ The continent of Farusion, which lost Vosfitta, also lost the balance between countries, and the winged nation of Nakonaru and the orc country of Jiluo, which were already ready to attack, also took advantage of this opportunity to take over Vosfita to maintain the stability of Farucion to launch the biggest power struggle in the history of Farucion, in which the Lars Empire, which was destroyed and tried to regain the country, also joined the war, and the soldiers of Vosfitta and the undisclosed samurai of extinction also became mercenaries and thieves and scattered everywhere. What's even more surprising is that the amphibious kingdom of Sarke, which has always remained indifferent, also marched into the mainland of Farucion on the grounds of finding a new habitat............ In an instant, the originally peaceful and peaceful continent of Farusion became a battlefield like purgatory, the smiles on the faces of the people disappeared, the original peaceful and stable life was gone, and Farusion changed from a "continent blessed by the gods" to a "cursed continent". The war in Farusion continued as if it could not be stopped............... Removing the hypocritical peace, what is obtained is endless war, and the late Lars Emperor Frank is right, the real "chaos" of Farusion has just begun........................

Tina, Princess of the Lars Empire: Now I'm wondering if what we're doing is right, or wrong?

Tina's personal bodyguard, Hanks: No one knows about this kind of thing.

Black Elf Crotty: Tina, let's go, it's not very safe here now.

Tina: I'm sorry, Hanks, you go back first, I want to stay a little longer.

Hanks: You still can't forget him?

Tina: ..............................

Hanks: Okay, I see, be careful.

Tina: Ray .................. As a result, I still can't get rid of the torrent of fate, and I still have to end my life in Lars after all............

Tina: Ray, where the hell are you? I have a lot to say to you.........................

Tina: Are you still just looking at me as someone to use in the end..................

Not long after the war began, the newly revived Lars Empire announced its surrender and surrendered all its forces, but the war did not ease because of this, but became more and more fierce, slowly bringing the continent of Farusion to the road of destruction..................

With a crystal clear tear from Tina, it dripped into the boundless sea of chaos, and the power of the gods unleashed endless holy brilliance.

Every time this world is destroyed to a certain extent, it is restarted by the power of the gods. The Demon Lord's purpose is to capture the power of the gods, so he must use chess pieces. The story begins with this most important chess piece, no, it's the ruffian mercenaries who start to act!!!

A huge, vague figure descended in front of Leonard, was it a demon or a god?

The sharp sword in his hand unleashed the brightest light.

He slashed at the "Demon God", only to feel that the sky was spinning in front of him, the blue light enveloped the world, and everything dissolved into the endless sea of chaos, and all memories were lost in his mind, leaving only a pair of clear and shining eyes that could not be forgotten for a long time.

"Who the hell am I?" Leonard, thinking of this, couldn't help but wake up from his nightmare.

He wore a dark blue animal skin shirt with a one-shoulder helmet, and a slender scar on his handsome face, remembering that his name was Leonard, a skilled swordsman in the Republic of Vosfita on the continent of Farusion, among other things. But he knew he couldn't tell anyone about it.

The Republic of Vosfita is located in the western part of the continent of Farusion, which is a thousand years ago in the Demon God War, established by the Elf King Cleos, the only survivor of the Seven Heroes of the Ancients;

The elves are the natives of the continent of Farusion, with a very long civilization heritage, a lifespan of up to a thousand years, and a natural ability to learn and use various spells, and are generally tall, fair-skinned, and have long pointed ears.

When he opened his eyes, Leonard found himself lying on his back in the shade of a tree, his arms on his back, his head covered in sweat. The sun is shining overhead, and the morning air is fresh.

He didn't think much about the nightmare just now, smiled as usual, closed one of his eyes lightly, and recalled, "What am I going to do now?"

He was now in an area within the Republic of Vosfitta, near the borders of the Lars Empire.

The Lars Empire is the country in the northeast of the Farusion continent, which was founded by humans and has the largest number of humans.

After pondering for a moment, Leonard grabbed a verdant straw, put it in his mouth and chewed it, holding it in his mouth, looking at the white clouds in the deep blue sky, and sighed: "Alas—what a boredom to be in such a quiet, peaceful continent—"

He still has a transparent spell cloth wrapped around his head, and a shiny broad-bladed sword pinned to his waist, believing that the dream he just had is a subconscious manifestation of defeating the demon king and falling in love with his lover with those clear eyes.

In the shade of the large tree in which he was enjoying the shade, there were also two soldiers of the Republic of Vosfitta. Both of them had arm-long mid-bladed swords pinned to their waists, shields the size of pot lids, and blue-green standard armor.

"Captain, that secret mission that the regimental commander sent us on... We've been out there for more than half a month, and we're getting farther and farther away from the barracks, and we don't know what the mission is about. Can you tell us now?" one of the soldiers approached, asking with a puzzled face.

"yes, yes. Captain, what kind of secret mission? We've been around for more than half a month, and we haven't started to carry out yet? We've been out for so long. In case Captain Ragus blames him. What are we going to do?" another soldier under the tree interjected anxiously.

"Kevin, Mel. Don't you believe your captain?" said Leonard, who spat out the straw in his mouth, and still lay on the green grass, looking lazy, and speaking without hurry.

"It's not that we don't trust the captain. It's that it's just too long. If you don't go back to your life, I'm afraid ——..." Kevin, the soldier who spoke first, was anxious.

"Like you said, we've been out for so long and haven't come home. What will he do with us with that guy Ragus's temper?" Leonard's attitude was still unconcerned, and he asked rhetorically with a smile on his face.

"What!?Captain, do you mean——?" Mel's head was like a thunderbolt across the sky.

"Deserter——" Kevin covered his mouth in horror, but blurted out.

They couldn't believe that the man in front of them had irresponsibly pushed himself into the abyss from which he could never recover.

"Kevin, Mel, please think about it again. Will that guy with Ragus have a bright future? Just because of a little contradiction.

He threw the three of us to stand guard in the middle of the snowy mountains where birds don't lay eggs, chickens don't, and often refuse to get enough rations on the grounds that avalanches and roads are impassable. We have to go down the mountain to buy things by ourselves. Did we join the army to be abused by him?"

Leonard got up from the ground, patted Kevin's shoulder lightly with his hand, and spoke earnestly.

"But, Captain. It is also very important to stand sentry. Besides, Captain Ragus didn't mean to kill us. It's not well allocated, but it's still delivered, isn't it?" Mel expressed his dissenting opinion.

"That's why I said that guy was trying to abuse us. In case we starved to death halfway up the snowy mountains. See what he can do to the old man?" Leonard frowned and placed his palm on Kevin's shoulder, turning around to look at Mel again.

The old man he said was referring to the Republic of Vosfitta, the marshal of the First Army, Memphis, the boss of Ragus.

"I don't think it's abuse. The regiment commander is strict with us, and it should be for our good. Entrusting us with such an important task as guarding the border of the Snow Mountains and monitoring the Winged People Nation Nakonaru is an incomparable trust and value to us. Kevin also opened his mouth to express his opinion.

Nakonaru is a country founded by the Winged People in the rugged mountainous terrain north of the Farusion Continent after the collapse of the Celestial Realm. Originally known as the People of the Heavens, the Winged People once inhabited the Celestial Realm, and are a race that bears a pair of white wings on their backs and resembles angels.

"Don't you think it's very boring to stay on the white snow-capped mountains all day long, facing the biting cold wind and looking at the snow-capped snow? ”

Leonard drew his broad-bladed sword pinned to his waist and raised it above his head, his eyes looking into the distance, his expression resolute in encouraging the two soldiers in front of him.

"Defending the country is also the duty of a soldier, and it is also of great significance. Besides, it's peacetime, and there's no fighting, so where is the opportunity to make a difference?" Kevin continued to retort.

"It's not easy to make a difference, and a ready-made path is in front of us. But it depends on whether you will put your feet on it. Leonard closed one eye lightly and smiled mysteriously.

"What road?" Mel asked hurriedly.

"The Mercenary Association of the Principality of Bagram is about to hold a triennial mercenary conference. As long as you can show your head and feet at the conference and be liked by the organizers, you can become a full-fledged mercenary, go on adventures with many partners, make money for fun, and make achievements along the way. How?"

Leonard has had enough of the ordinary life, working as an errand boy under his narrow-minded boss, and is determined to become a full-fledged mercenary to live for himself.

"What!?mercenary!, they want us to be bandits——" Kevin and Mel couldn't believe their ears, and they retorted in embarrassment, sweating, and wide-eyed.

"Captain, do you know who those mercenaries are, thieves, liars, hooligans, beggars, wanted criminals, deserters, murderers, ******, etc., all the scum that is not tolerated by society in this era of peace, and do all the dirty deeds of stealing, stealing, robbing, trapping, abducting, cheating, and killing.

Like our regular army in Vosfitta, you only need to stay in the barracks every month to receive military pay. They are completely self-financed, without a trace of security to speak of—they are always working with their heads on their heads!Who wants to be such a bandit if they are not cornered?" Kevin said the impression that ordinary people in this world have of mercenaries.

"It's all a lie made up by the Elven King Cleos, the old monster who doesn't like mercenaries, for his centralized rule. The mercenaries of Bagram are not as bad as the old monster claims. Self-financing also means high yields and high returns.

Besides, we're all deserters. Do you follow me to Bagram, or do you go back to Ragus. As captain, I don't force you. Take your pick. Leonard smiled slyly, spread his hands, and concluded his speech.

"Captain, I'll go with you——" Kevin realized that he was already a deserter, and hurriedly saluted Leonard with an embarrassed face.

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall what had happened before.

In the memory: Captain Ragus, dressed in a bright red tight-fitting battle robe and armed with a thin-bladed sword, stood in the middle of the school field in the barracks, and with a swing of his sword, he knocked down a recruit who dared to challenge him. The sword held by the recruit was taken out of his hand, and he fell to the ground with the sword.

"Come on! Come on, you useless recruits! The head of this regiment is very happy today, and he has time to teach you two tricks here. Whoever can make three moves with the head of the regiment, the head of the regiment will reward him as a captain!" Ragus, his face flushed, and he pointed the tip of his sword at the noses of the recruits one after another, and shouted arrogantly.

The veterans gathered around the school grounds all understood that their regimental commander was going crazy after getting drunk.

Ragus, who had been the commander of the First Army of Vosfitta many years ago, had been denied a promotion, and whenever he saw someone with less qualifications than himself climbing to a position higher than himself, he would drink aggressively and find fault with his subordinates, waiting for an opportunity to vent his grievances.

However, recruits who listen to Ragus's rhetoric don't think the same way as veterans.

As a result, several recruits jumped forward and tried to challenge him. They were all easily knocked to the ground by this guy.

Just as Ragus was satisfied, he turned around and wanted to leave. Leonard suddenly walked out of the queue from the crowd and made three moves with this guy with extremely superb swordsmanship. Ping!

Ragus's wine was half awake in an instant. Although he recognized Leonard's sword skills, he especially disliked the kid in front of him, staring at him with eagle-sharp eyes.

"Little-son! there is-your-the commander of this regiment will appoint you now--captain of the First Army of Vosfitta, the First Swordsmen, the Fourth Brigade, the Third Column, and the Fifth Squad——...!

"This is something you promised yourself, Captain. Why do you want me to kneel on the ground and thank you? Besides, there is no winner between you and me. Leonard also picked up his broadblade and pointed at Ragus's nose and asked.

"Are you an idiot!?" "He's the regimental leader!" "Get down on your knees!" The veterans who were watching at the scene opened their mouths to persuade and scold.

Leonard, however, looked at the gang with eagle-sharp eyes, unmoved by them.

Faced with such an arrogant recruit, Ragus was furious, feeling that the tiger would be treated like a sick cat if he did not exert his strength.

"Bastard—— it seems that this head of the regiment will not teach you a lesson today, a stinky boy. You don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is!" he waved his long-bladed sword, and cursed, stabbing it straight at Leonard.

This guy stabbed with a sword in an extremely hasty manner, coupled with drunkenness, and even staggered a little.

"Commander, you're too anxious, aren't you? Leonard dodged the attack with an unhurried leap, and teased with flirtatious words.

At the same time, the arrogant recruit also stretched out his right leg. Ragus lunged forward, tripped and fell to the ground unable to contain his feet, and fell into the mud. Boom!

Then, Leonard pointed the sword in his hand at his boss's nose.

Ragus shouted: "Alas——" He lay on the ground, and the sword in his hand was thrown several meters away, and he immediately changed from a tiger to a sick cat, with cold sweat on his forehead, gold stars in his eyes, and wine completely sober.

"Good yes——" "Long live ——"... Among the large group of recruits who were watching, two of them saw the embarrassed appearance of the regiment commander, and they couldn't suppress the excitement and joy in their hearts, and cheered loudly.

The two recruits are naturally Kevin and Mel. As a result, it didn't take long for Ragus, who hated this incident to the end, found a reason and sent Leonard and the two of them to guard the snowy mountain together.

Halfway up the snowy mountain, the three people who lacked food and clothing and were extremely embarrassed overcame one difficulty after another, shared weal and woe, and encouraged each other.

Leonard's perseverance, bravery, self-confidence and optimism all infect and inspire Kevin and Mel.

Later, Leonard claimed to have received a secret mission and went down the mountain with two of his subordinates.

Until just now, Kevin and Mel were convinced of the captain, and now they know that this is the case.

"Captain. I'll go with you! It's better to be a mercenary than to be hanged by Ragus. Mel was crying and was coerced by Leonard.

In the picture he made up in his mind: Ragus, with the devil's horns and tail, is pulling the noose of the gallows with his left hand, and waving the trident excitedly with his right hand, shouting arrogantly: "Hang them—— hang them—— if I catch them, I will definitely hang them!!——..."

Under the laws of the Republic of Vosfitta, deserters are punishable by death.
