"Warriors, rush forward, rush over, shatter these skeletons, don't get entangled with these brainless skeletons."

"Mr. Archer, the skeleton mages more than a hundred meters ahead will be handed over to you, don't let them have a second chance to cast spells. Our warriors will have a hard time resisting an overdose of magic. ”

"Two respected magician employers, forty meters away on the left and right, hurry up, let out a large area of 'mire magic', if we can't stop those two groups of zombies and ghouls, we will be **annoyed."

"Finally, Honorable Priest of the God of War, if you have any magic skills to brush the state, hurry up and bless the soldiers who are charging. Also, remember to remind your Minotaur followers to hurry up, rush through this skeletal colony, and run another twenty or thirty miles, there will be a place that is very suitable for camping, and you can rest in peace when you take it. ”

The guy who was shouting orders in his hoarse voice was a middle-aged Terran man who looked to be in his forties, covered in scars, wearing old leather armor, and with a pale face.

This guy is a guide hired by the Rhys Chamber of Commerce at a great cost. According to himself, his profession is 'Wanderer of the Wilderness', and everyone else in the camp calls him 'Old Jack Scavenger'.

Mage Pat of the Rhys Chamber of Commerce invited 'Old Jack to scavenge' as a guide for his group, and after paying a lot of money, he gave him considerable respect. In addition to promising him to follow his command as much as possible when he encounters undead monsters along the way, he also calls him 'Mr. Jack' when he usually camps and chats. Although many people in the team knew that 'Jack' must be a fake name, no one would debunk it.

That day, at the appointed time, Rick. Challis led Steelhorn and Earless to say goodbye from the camp's Altar of War, and went straight to the camp's gate facing the hinterland of the Isle of the Dead. found that although the three of them were not the latest, they were not the earliest. When the three of Rick arrived, Fury's steward of the Rhys Chamber of Commerce, Li'er Lisse, the Scarface Captain of the War Bear Mercenary Team, and the tall Captain Rady of the Rose Beauty Flower Mercenary Team had already arrived. It's just that whether it is the War Bear Mercenary Team, which has relatively few personnel, or the Rose Beauty Flower Mercenary Team, which has more personnel, there are only five people who come at this time, including the captain. Coupled with Fury's steward, who only brought one acolyte warrior, at the gate of the camp at this time, counting the three of Rick, only fifteen people arrived.

Steward Fury saw Rick and the three coming from a distance, and greeted him with a warm face. Before he could get to him, he greeted him: "Dear Priest Rick, you came so early!" ”

"Well, Steward Fury, I think it's almost time, so I'll come over, isn't it too late?" Looking at Fury's housekeeper, dressed in fine leather armor and fully armed, Rick responded.

"It's not too late, it's a little early."

"It's not too late, it's not a good habit to be late."

"Hehehe, that's what Priest Rick said." Fury's steward replied slightly embarrassed. After all, the young master of his own chamber of commerce, Mage Patrick, the leader of this mission, has not yet come, and Fury's steward is not easy to answer Rick's words.

Rick naturally saw Fury's embarrassment, and would not say anything embarrassing to him. Changing the subject, he asked, "Why did I only see those two captains and a few of their subordinates?" What about the rest of their mercenary team? ”

"Priest Rick, you don't know this, those two captains led these team members, and Mr. Jack, the guide invited by our Rhys Chamber of Commerce, discussed with the young master of our Chamber of Commerce after discussing it with the young master of our Chamber of Commerce according to our mission route. We're going to form a small team, no more than thirty people, so that we can sneak in to the mission destination. ”

"Well, I see. Then let's go over and say hello to the two captains. ”

"Okay, Priest Rick." "Uh, wait a minute, Priest Rick, I see the moon missing. Mr. Anders came over, followed by the Mustang. Strong roots. ”

"Well, the missing moon senior is here, then let's wait a while, when he comes, let's go over together." Rick looked very cultivated.

And then in the absence of the month. Anders and Mustang. Not long after Qianggen came, the leader of this mission, the young master of the Rhys Chamber of Commerce, Mage Patrick, also led four battle guards and a middle-aged Terran man who was full of alcohol and looked down, together with his senior brother Chad Senior Magician.

Then, after introducing and greeting each other, and asking each other if they were ready and if they needed help, Gen Patrick came forward and announced, "Everyone is here, let's go." ”

At this time, Rick noticed that the priest of Laricdi, who served the god of contract, justice, and commerce, did not appear, and he was slightly puzzled.

And according to Rick's temperament, of course he wouldn't ask someone openly, but he just found an opportunity on the road and quietly asked Fury's steward. No, Steward Fury told Rick that Priest Larrick was tasked with replacing the priest at the altar of the god of contract, justice, and commerce in the camp, and that it was not Rick and the Rhys Chamber of Commerce secretly exploring the dragon's lair.

Moreover, not only Priest Larrick, but even Captain Lil Lith of the War Bear Mercenary Team and Captain Rady of the Rose Beauty Flower Mercenary Team, the mercenary mission they received was only the mission of guarding Mage Patrick and Rick on the Island of the Dead, and the Steward Fury went to find a reclusive hermit somewhere on the outskirts of the Island of the Dead to ask for some secrets.

At this point, Rick completely understood his place in this mission. The lowest status is naturally a few subordinates led by the two mercenary captains, although their combat strength is not weak, but they are just cannon fodder, whether they can survive or not depends on the luck along the way.

The guide, Mr. Jack, was about the same status as the two of them, they had some autonomy, but they had nothing to rely on, and when they encountered danger, they could only rely on themselves. Of course, as long as you have some eyes, to lack the moon. An old mercenary like Anders still has a chance to get out.

The three of Rick, on the other hand, are on the same level as Fury, the earliest initiator of the mission, and they have enough reasons to participate in the mission, but they also have a competitive relationship with the strongest leader in the mission, Mage Pat. Butler Fury came early to find Rick to be his ally.

Rick understood his position in the mission, but he had no choice but to be more careful. At most, glaring at Fury when he saw him in charge. But as a senior businessman, Fury's steward, that cheek, naturally didn't care about Rick's gaze at him.

Of course, Rick understands his position and understands Fury's temperament, and he will be able to find Fury's steward and Missing Moon. There is some hidden collusion between Anders, the half-elf mercenary and old fritters. "Well, maybe those two cunning guys deliberately leaked it to themselves." Rick sometimes thinks the same way, too.

So far, this dragon's nest expedition, the people involved in it, can be regarded as officially divided into three aspects.

Two mercenary teams on the side of cannon fodder. I don't even know the true purpose of the mission, whether it will be able to gain any benefits, or whether it will be unlucky enough to suffer heavy casualties.

Fury Steward and Rick, who know the ins and outs of the task best, and the side that lacks the moon, but their combat power is not too strong, and they will not get too many benefits when they complete the task in the future.

The Patrick mage, who has the most combat power and knows most of the inside story of the mission, should be the one who is most likely to get the most benefits from the mission.

Even if you understand your situation, you have to keep up with the team and hurry. At this time, everyone saw the wealth of the magician.

Mage Pat and his senior brother actually took out a puppet mount and easily followed the group of mercenaries who were physically strong.

At this point, Rick thought to himself, "Fortunately, I was also prepared, and I made a sturdy wooden frame early on, so that the steel horns could carry it on his back." Unlike Fury's manager, although he wears boots with magic acceleration, he can only run on his own. After a few days, that embarrassed look is really indescribable. ”

The topography of the Isle of the Dead is a vast wasteland, with several rivers that are either dry or have strange shapes, towering peaks, low canyons, and of course, rolling hills. It's very rare to see woods, plants, and the like, and even if you see it, most of them have strange forms, or they are the last wreckage left behind.

And these creatures wandering in the wastelands, hills, mountains, and river valleys, except for the adventurers who came out of the camp, are only large groups of undead creatures. Skeleton warriors, zombies, ghouls, ghosts, that's everywhere. If you are unlucky, you will encounter a black knight in the establishment, a weird necromancer, and a lich of the Holy Order as long as you show up.

On top of the rotten ground and without a trace of life, Rick and his party, under the leadership and command of the wilderness wanderer, the so-called Mr. Jack, sometimes held their breath for traces, sometimes fought and rushed, and barely had time to rest, all struggling to push forward.

The most common phrase that Mr. Jack said was, "Quick, rush over." Rush over and it's safe. ”

This lasted for four days. So much so that all of them looked embarrassed, only Rick and the two magicians looked pretty good because of their commuting presence. Mr. Jack may have lived on the Isle of the Dead for a long time, and although he had traveled for four days, he was in much better condition than the others.

On the fourth day after leaving the camp, when everyone felt that they were about to lose their hold, and most of the soldiers were suffering a lot of wounds, large and small, and were about to die of serious injuries, Mr. Jack's words immediately lifted the spirit and morale of everyone.

"Come on, we're almost at the target location of the mission."
