The rest of the itinerary was so bland that people wanted to doze off.

After passing through several cities that originally belonged to the Southern Federation, he soon crossed the border between the Southern Federation and the Desert Kingdom, and officially crossed the country where the mission target was located.

This is not surprising, as a rule of thumb is that this kind of delivery from one big city to another is connected by wide official roads along the way, which means that there is not much danger on the way. Like the various difficulties and obstacles encountered by the Spirit Fox Mercenary Group before, other mercenary groups may not be able to encounter one of the ten missions, which can be described as extremely bad luck.

But in the second half of the journey, everything seems to be back on track.

It's just that Franco, who is the head of the regiment, didn't dare to relax in the slightest, he didn't forget that the second master who had entered the fourth realm of martial arts cultivation and had a strong subordinate under his command was in the Desert Kingdom.

The second master, who was defeated in that battle, may not be willing to stop there. If they want to deal with the Spirit Fox Mercenary Group and make a move in the Desert Kingdom, they obviously have a home advantage.

Out of caution, just after noon, the Spirit Fox Mercenary Regiment settled down to rest in a small city not far from the border in the desert kingdom.

According to Franco's idea, there are only three days to go to the destination, and there are more than ten days left before the agreed deadline, which is still very time. There is no need for the Spirit Fox Mercenary Group to rush to the road, lest everyone be tired and show their flaws, so that people can take advantage of it.

But in the evening of the same day, a sudden news disrupted Franco's original plan.

"The other party took the initiative to rush over and want to receive the entrusted goods in advance?"

Everyone gathered again in Franco's room to hear his latest news.

Ram looked at Franco and asked in a deep voice, "Is it reliable, can there be fraud in this?" Could it be a trap set for us by the Oliveira family where the second master belongs? ”

Franco shook his head, rejecting his speculation.

"Probably not, the person who came can tell the number of the power of attorney that was signed. This is something that the Oliveira family, as their sworn enemies, should not know. ”

When Katie heard this, she couldn't help but be a little strange: "Then why didn't he just bring the handover documents of the mercenary union and bring the things back directly?" Why make an appointment to make a delivery outside the city in the evening? ”

There are two ways to receive the goods, one is to take the consignor's things directly to the person he wants to hand over, and after the receiver gets the things, he personally signs or provides the items specified by the consignor as a token. The mercenary took the signature or token back to the client to ask for payment.

The second is through the Mercenary Guild. The mercenary union at the place of departure and the destination communicate with each other, and the mercenary can be considered to have completed the task as long as he brings things to the mercenary union at the destination, and after being inspected and confirmed by the mercenary union.

As for how the mercenary union will hand over the things to the person the client wants to hand over, it's none of the mercenary group's business.

Franco's mission was the second way, which was supposed to send things to the Desert Kingdom Mercenary Guild. But if the receiver holds the corresponding documents of the mercenary union, then Franco will hand it over to him, which can also be recognized as the completion of the task.

Franco explained: "According to the man, the goods are so important that he alone may not be able to protect them. The best family's brigade will arrive in the evening, so that they will have enough protection to bring things back to the family. ”

York snorted dissatisfiedly and said, "Now that you're finally willing to say that the goods are valuable?" The first-class family of the dignified Desert Kingdom, with a large number of masters of their own, entrusts us with such an important thing, and really looks down on our Spirit Fox Mercenary Group. ”

Franco, who is experienced, guessed, "If my guess is correct, the Best family must have sent several teams of men under the guise of attracting the rival Oliveira family." However, the things were handed over to our Spirit Fox Mercenary Group and sent to the Desert Kingdom without realizing it. ”

Ram also nodded in agreement: "It's a pity that something went wrong and let that second master find us." ”

Franco continued: "It may be for this reason that the Best family knew that the plan to hide from the world no longer worked, so they hurriedly sent someone to meet them. ”

This speculation seems to be very close to the truth, but York is still quite dissatisfied: "Anyway, the risks and losses taken by our Spirit Fox Mercenary Group on this mission are too great. The Best family's approach is really not authentic. ”

Franco, Ram, and the others all looked gloomy, obviously remembering their fallen comrades.

"In any case, since we have accepted the commission, we must complete this task well. Even if it weren't for the reputation of the Flexible Mercenary Corps, we couldn't let our companions' sacrifices go to waste. ”

Franco clapped his hands vigorously to cheer everyone on.

……

The round moon hung obliquely high in the sky, and the bright moonlight spread across the land, dispelling the darkness of many nights.

Franco took the Spirit Fox Mercenary Group to a wasteland outside the city as promised, and found that there were already people waiting here.

It was an elegant-looking, gray-haired man with the unique aura of a superior person, showing that his status was not simple.

Around him, several samurai scattered, vigilantly observing the movements around him, and kept a close guard. Looking at their eyes, demeanor and movements, it is obvious that they are well-trained, and they are all masters.

"Captain Franco, and the powerful mercenaries of the Spirit Fox Mercenary Group, you have worked hard along the way!"

The elegant-looking man took two steps forward and was the first to greet him warmly.

Franco stood still, his face not letting his guard down at all.

"I'm sorry, it's a bit rude to say that, but we really don't know you......"

The elegant man was not angry, and looked very talkative: "Understood, understood, there is nothing impolite about this." Captain Franco is so cautious, which is the luck of our Best family. If it weren't for that, the Spirit Fox Mercenary Group might not be able to bring things here safely. ”

"Yes, we are vigilant and cautious, but we still can't bear to be cheated by our own people. The small Spirit Fox mercenary group actually has to fight against the first-class Oliveira family in the desert kingdom. It's really taking the salary of the subordinates and the king's heart. ”

A strange voice sounded, but it was the thief York who finally couldn't bear it anymore and spoke sarcastically.

"York!" Franco whispered to the thief.

The elegant man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly: "This mercenary brother is right, our arrangement is indeed inappropriate. It's just that the situation was forced at that time, and the time was very hurried, so I had to make this decision. In any case, it's our Best family's fault. After the task handover is completed, our family will definitely give you a satisfactory compensation. ”

He said, waving his right hand. A scroll flew up in the air, spanning the distance between the two and landing in Franco's hands.

When he opened it, Franco could immediately recognize that it was the mission acceptance letter sent by the Mercenary Guild.

As long as the Spirit Fox Mercenary Group takes this thing to any mercenary union, it can immediately go through the confirmation procedures for the completion of the task.

Franco made sure it was correct before turning around and nodding to Long Aotian.

Long Aotian took out the delicate bottle that Franco had given him for safekeeping from the space ring, but handed it to Katie casually.

"Katie, there you go."

He shook his head in the direction of the elegant man, motioning for Katie to send things over.

Katie was stunned for a moment, subconsciously reached out to take it, and without thinking much about it, she walked forward with the porcelain vase.

Franco vaguely felt that something was wrong, but this was Long Aotian's decision, and Katie was his student, so he didn't want to say anything.

The elegant man's expression seemed a little excited, which showed how important the contents of the porcelain vase were to him and to the Best family behind him.

Finally took the small and delicate but important porcelain vase from Katie's hand, and the elegant man first checked it to make sure that the porcelain vase had not been replaced, and the cork had not been opened, and then his face showed a look of ecstasy.

York, on the other side, looked at him and checked it, and felt impatient, and said, "How is it, the thing is right?" I'm looking forward to the compensation you're talking about. ”

"That's right, that's right. Compensation, I will give it to you. ”

The elegant man raised his head, and a grim smile appeared on his square face.

I saw that he suddenly shook it hard in his hand, and where could the small porcelain vase withstand such a force, and it immediately shattered into powder with a snap.

"Do it!"
