It's been five days since the day of departure. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Old Gil still wanders among the mountains in the southern part of the kingdom. The journey from Aniji to Nieman, the commercial capital, was not easy, and before arriving at the City of the Holy Roses, there were almost all the mountain roads, and even the caravan camping place had to be carefully selected every day, otherwise they would have to worry about rolling down the mountain overnight.

This time, the traveling merchant, who was experienced in transporting goods, listened to Ivesky's advice and hired two mercenary groups with whom he had a long-standing relationship. The reason why he didn't choose the best mercenary group in the city, "Thunder", was because the old merchant had a lot of eyes.

Traveling merchants who have been on the road all year round know that mercenaries are often synonymous with bandits. Rather than hire one of the strongest mercenaries who don't know the roots, it's better to hire a partner who is a little worse than them, but has built a deep trust in the previous employment relationship.

After all, a knife from behind is the most dangerous.

Whether there is a conflict between the strongest mercenary group and the strongest chamber of commerce in the commercial city is completely a fog, and old Jill is unwilling to pin his net worth and life on the scales of fate.

"Mr. Jill, how long is it before we get out of this damn forest and get to Nieman." "Forgive my faux pas, but I can't stand the gnats of the south, who hum in my ear every night and suck my blood," he said, "pardon my faux pas. ”

"Unfortunately, Mr. Romus, we are five days away from the City of the Holy Roses, and it will be at least four days before we get out of this wooded area." Jill replied, "Please bear with me, we can't do too much about nature. ”

"I understand, Mr. Jill," Romus nodded, there was no real fool to be a close man to the big man, and although he had risen to the position by the mentality of Sir Morodska, he still had some ability, or he would not have been sent on this mission—you know, the value of this shipment was a hundred and ten Mastan gold coins! He was just pampered, and he couldn't adapt to the climate and environment of the southern mountains for a while.

If it weren't for the "freshness" of the goods, he would rather take a long detour as he came.

"Thank you for your understanding." Jill bowed slightly, and watched the pale-skinned, vain-footed man enter the most ornate carriage in the camp. Frankly speaking, his impression of the "nobles" this time is not bad, even if this official from the most prosperous commercial capital of the kingdom has the common problem of "squeamishness" of the upper class, but in the end he can still understand or respect them, these "people", I don't know how much better than those "nobles" with noses that reach to the sky.

"You're done dealing with that 'nobleman', Jill." After Romus entered the carriage, two middle-aged men dressed as mercenaries walked towards him, "It's really hard for you, every time you deal with these 'nobles', you have to rely on you, how about it, what kind of hardship does this 'girl' come to complain about this time?" ”

The traveling merchant gave the two mercenaries a blank look, and he knew them well for these two old fellows who had no good morals. He knew that the so-called "" was a joking name for Romus, mocking him for not being like a man.

However, he was not going to continue on the subject, for there were so many people here that it would take him a lot of effort to explain it to the master in the carriage if someone heard it and relayed it to the man in the carriage.

"Alfonso, Jardine." He looked at the two mercenaries, "Are your men ready?" Okay, let's go, whether it's the goods or the employer, it's in a hurry. ”

"I can't help it." The tall mercenary is Alfonso, the leader of the "Eagle" mercenary group, a Trendan who participated in the Battle of Ice Castle and had cut off the heads of at least twenty-eight orcs before being discharged from the army due to injuries. The young eagles gathered under his banner are also first-class brave people, "My children are full of energy one by one, ready to be on call!" ”

The "Eagle" mercenary group ranks seventeenth in the Ainiji mercenary branch, and aside from the obvious shortcomings of the fighters, the overall quality of this mercenary group can be ranked in the top three!

"I don't have a flock of eagle cubs like Alfonso, I need to inform them." The mercenary who said this was Jardin, who, like Alfonso, was also the leader of the mercenary group. The mercenary group he created was called the "Troubadours", and its banner was a harp. The quality of the mercenaries under his command is much worse than that of the "Eagle" mercenary group, but his strong personal strength is enough to erase the gap.

The "Troubadour" mercenary group, ranked twelfth in the Aniji mercenary division, has a Warlord Jardin. The quality of the mercenaries in the regiment is not bad, but the name of "Spiritual Wind" Jardine alone is enough to deter the younger generation.

This time, the two first-class mercenary groups of Aniji were invited at the same time, completely to target the possible attack on the "Perfume Beauty" Chamber of Commerce by the "Casero" Chamber of Commerce. For this kind of news related to his life, Jill would rather believe it than believe it.

When both mercenary groups were ready, Jill whipped his horsewhip.

"Shhhh

Horse-drawn carriages pulled the goods forward, and more than thirty mercenaries followed on both sides with weapons. At this time, the traveling merchant did not expect that a crisis was quietly approaching him.

Private room on the third floor of Margaret Hotel.

In the private room of the most luxurious hotel in Aniji, a secret conversation is underway.

"Are you sure they can?" One of them asked worriedly, "From the far of our intelligence network, it seems that there is an experienced traveling merchant over there, and he has hired two first-class mercenary groups, the Eagle and the Troubadour. ”

"Of course." The questionee shrouded himself in a black robe, and even in this top-secret private room, he did not take off his veil, and could only hear a strong baritone from his voice, "We are very confident that Jill will definitely die, and that shipment will not reach the employer." ”

"Besides, you're mistaken, there's only one first-class mercenary group in Aniji. Except for 'Thunder', everything else is just a clown. ”

He emphasized.

"Well, I hope so, too." The man who spoke first nodded, "As long as the goods are snatched and the connection between that side and the commercial capital is severed, Sir Rozka will be greatly annoyed, and they will not end well if they offend Sir Rozka." ”

"Then, your guild can once again dominate Aniji." The mysterious man raised his glass and toasted with the man opposite, "Then I am here to congratulate the young master in advance on inheriting the Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible, carrying forward the 'Cacello' and becoming the largest Chamber of Commerce in the south." ”

"Haha." The man on the other side drank the ale, "I promise you." ”

"However, I still want to know why you are so confident, as far as I know, most of the mercenaries of your regiment are on standby in the city, how can you be so confident that you will be able to annihilate the two mercenary groups that are ranked in the forefront of the association."

"Young master, don't you know," the veiled man said, "The grading system of mercenaries exists, we are a medium-sized mercenary group, with fifty mercenary places, and we can recruit three subordinate mercenary groups, these three subordinate mercenary groups are all small mercenary groups, and each mercenary group has twenty places, this time I will transfer three subordinate mercenary groups that are hidden in the snow." ”

"Rest assured, they are all very strong, and each mercenary group has a warrior in charge, so it is a no-brainer to clean up the 'Eagle' and 'Troubadour'."

"Really?" A relieved smile appeared on the man's face, "Wait for the good news!" ”

"You're in control." The man straightened his hood, nodded, wrapped himself tighter, and cautiously walked out of Margaret's box, out of the hotel, and disappeared into the sea of people.

"What a ......," he walked into a shabby hotel, where he changed his clothes and walked out of the hotel, facing the sun with a disdainful smile on his lips, "Idiot." ”

Jill who is far away in the southern mountains naturally doesn't know about this conspiracy, and even if he knows, he can't change his itinerary and avoid risks, so he can only passively wait for fate to come and accept the arbitration of fate, which is the bitterness and sorrow of the little people.

He was now marching at a pass on the mountain road, he didn't know that there were three mercenary groups in ambush behind the pass, and he didn't have any military education, but he still stopped the convoy, regrouped with the two mercenary group leaders, and then slowly passed.

This is the experience, the pass is one of the places most prone to bandits, and now under the protection of the two mercenary groups, he does not worry about the attack of the bandits, but only imagines the attack that the bandits may organize as "Cacello". Little did he know that this hypothetical scenario would save his life.

When the boulder fell from the high ground on both sides of the pass, the formation was neat, and the prepared mercenaries avoided most of the damage, and only a few unlucky mercenaries died because they were in the landing position of the rolling stone.

One of the rolling stones almost crushed Jill past, crushing an unknown mercenary in front of him directly to the ground, breaking his head and bleeding, and spilling red and white things on the ground.

It's just a line away.

He covered his mouth, trying to make himself feel better, trying not to think about what would happen if he had driven the carriage faster. Fortunately, he was not a stunned young man who had not experienced wind and rain, and the experienced traveling merchant reacted as quickly as possible, gathered the caravan, and counted the losses.

Even faster than his reaction were the leaders of the two mercenary groups, Jill did not hide the danger this time, they had long been prepared to face the bloody wind of swords and swords, and when the first round of damage caused by the rolling stones had not subsided and the enemy was nowhere to be seen, they began to call on their respective members to prepare for battle.

Finally, the enemy swooped down from the high ground on both sides of the pass!

"Old man, there are a lot of enemies." Alfonso stared at the enemy on the hillside, and while taking the lead to meet them, he roared to his old friend on the other side of the battlefield, "I'll just say, these three gold coins are not easy to earn, it seems that I will give my life here!" ”

"It's only fifty or sixty people, and I'll be fine." Jia Ding's face didn't change at all, "You should be worried about who your comrades-in-arms' families will rely on to support you after you die!" ”

"So I'm not going to die! Ha ha! ”

"Cut! Kill the enemy with your heart, stupid! ”

Although the two of them had been arguing like this, their killing efficiency did not decrease at all, and their presence soon attracted the attention of the enemy fighters, and immediately three bandits broke out of the large force to meet the two of them.

"Spiritwind Jardin? You are destined to die here today! ”

Of the three, two opted for the stronger Jardine. Jardine is the first-class master of Ainiji, and has the title of powerhouse among the fighters, and only with two against one can they be able to suppress this powerful mercenary.

"It's rare to receive a mission with a gold reward, I didn't expect to face such a tricky battle" Jardine glanced at Alfonso in the distance and sighed, "It seems that I have nothing to do with gold coins in my life." ”

Before the words fell, he had already made a move, like a gust of wind, and like a bolt of lightning, he took out his sword and stabbed it directly!

And on the other side, the veteran of the army also ushered in his enemies.

"Alfonso, the Eagle of the Northlands? Today I'm going to make the eagle fold its wings! ”

"I'm sorry, I can't die yet." Alfonso shook his head and lifted his tomahawk, "I'm going to carry them on my back and live, it's a promise!" ”

Swing the axe! Slash!
