Chapter 824 A Game of Chess

After a long time, the 'Golden Shield' stood up from the arms of the three of them and drank the wine on the table.

The crescent moon first asked, "Where have you been all this time?" I'm sending people everywhere to find you, and your team ......"

"Well, my team is all gone, and only four members of the team escaped with me."

"Then why don't you contact us?"

"I don't have the face to see you."

Looking at the 'Golden Shield' with a face full of vicissitudes, the three of them knew that the 'Golden Shield', who had always loved face, must have suffered a lot, and Zhang Ran said to the three: "It's up to me to explain it to you." ”

Then Zhang Ran told all the things he met the 'Golden Shield' to the end in detail, and heard that the 'Golden Shield' was actually controlled by a small arms dealer, the three of them clenched their fists tightly, gritted their teeth and listened to Zhang Ran's next words, and finally the successful detoxification of the 'Golden Shield' also comforted the three of them.

'Crescent' patted Zhang Ran on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Boy, we owe you a favor again." ”

'Golden Shield' looked at Zhang Ran with both eyes, and said slowly: "I can survive because of you, although I have said thank you to people, but please accept my thanks today." After speaking, the 'Golden Shield' knelt directly on the ground, and Zhang Ran immediately supported the 'Golden Shield': "I can't afford it!" ”

The 'Golden Shield' pulled Zhang Ran away and wanted to hold up his hand, and then kowtowed the ground, an elder actually saluted himself, Zhang Ran was obviously a little overwhelmed.

The 'crescent moon' on the side did not stop the 'Golden Shield'' approach, but said to Zhang Ran: "You just accept it, otherwise he will take it to heart for the rest of his life, he knows very well that he has no ability to repay your kindness, and only in this way can he feel better." ”

After all, 'Golden Shield' is also old, and with the physical damage caused by drugs, he is already a mercenary without any combat effectiveness, and he has no ability to help the Saber Regiment, he doesn't want to die of old age with a sense of guilt, so he made such a big gift to Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran said helplessly: "Well, I understand, if accepting it can make you feel better, I accept your gratitude." ”

'Golden Shield' slowly stood up and smiled: "Hehe, so we don't owe each other." ”

Looking at the 'Golden Shield' that immediately recovered with a scoundrel face, Zhang Ran laughed wildly: "Hahaha, it's good, don't owe each other!" ”

The five of them sat at the round table, and Zhang Ran asked 'Crescent' and 'Puppet': "Do you know of a mysterious organization of men in black?" ”

The two of them have been in the mercenary world for a long time, and they should know something about such an organization, and Zhang Ran wants to get some information from a few old mercenaries.

Hearing Zhang Ran's question, the three of them immediately fell silent, and from the expressions of the three of them, Zhang Ran already knew that several people must have something to know about this mysterious organization.

'Crescent' said slowly: "Zhang Ran, have you come into contact with them?" ”

Zhang Ran shook his head: "No, just a glance." ”

"Under what circumstances?"

"At the meeting of the 'Blade' organization, there is also the 'Thor' mercenary group."

The corners of the 'puppet's mouth rose and smiled: "Hehe, 'War Blade' and 'Thor'?" ”

"You know them?"

"I don't know each other, I dealt with them a few times back then, and at that time, 'War Blade' was still a yellow-haired boy, but his talent was good, and he was only stronger than you."

As a veteran-level mercenary, the 'puppet' was of course still young when it was glorious.

The 'puppet' continued: "As for 'Thor', he has a violent temper and amazing combat effectiveness, and the overall strength is one of the best teams at that time, and it has been performing the most dangerous and expensive tasks, and there are countless elite members in the entire team, and the third-class idle mercenaries are even more terrifying numbers, and 'Thor' used all the honorarium to expand his own staffing at the beginning, so he absorbed the combat effectiveness of the vast majority of mercenaries back then. ”

Zhang Ran asked slowly: "Why did such a strong 'Thor' mercenary group back then seem to have left no battle records that can be investigated. ”

With such a strong team, there will always be news exposed in the mercenary world, and Zhang Ran only now knew about the existence of the 'Thor' mercenary group and the 'Battle Blade' mercenary group.

The 'puppet' smiled: "That's because when they were at their strongest, there was a mercenary group whose light completely overshadowed all mercenary groups, and that was the first 'Grim Reaper' mercenary group. ”

"What do you mean?"

"At that time, all the mercenary group goals were to capture the 'Grim Reaper', and the 'Grim Reaper' wiped out the vast majority of the mercenary groups, and the only few large mercenary groups had no choice but to give up the pursuit of the 'Grim Reaper', at this time, 'Blackwater' appeared, and with a few new teams to force the 'Grim Reaper' to an embarrassing situation, which is why the 'Blackwater' became famous afterwards, and since then, 'Blackwater' has started a series of actions, first forming an arbitration mercenary alliance, and then provoking the latest chaos in the mercenary world, these are ' Blackwater's means of quickly entrapping people after becoming famous, and those powerful teams hidden in the mercenary world naturally do not work with this kind of fisherman's profitable teamwork, so you rarely know the news of those teams. ”

Zhang Ran nodded: "I see, it turns out that the mercenary world we first came into contact with was when the 'Black Water' became famous, no wonder I don't think those strong mercenary groups at all, what happened to the mysterious black-clothed organization?" ”

'Crescent' lowered his voice and said to Zhang Ran: "They have existed since the beginning of the establishment of the mercenary world, when the 'Grim Reaper' was surrounded and suppressed by a large mercenary group, it was they who came forward to let the 'Grim Reaper' escape smoothly, and finally let the 'Black Water' those small mercenary groups at that time take advantage of it, as for the strength of those people, you ask the 'drunkard'." ”

The 'drunkard' put down the wine glass in his hand: "At that time, the regiment commander and I were surrounded in the canyon with the team, including the 'Thor' mercenary group, the upper and last two ends of the canyon have been completely sealed, and we have no way to retreat, just when we thought we were all going to die, the group of black-clothed people appeared, and I clearly remember that those black-clothed people only took two or three minutes to kill all the mercenaries in the canyon." ”

"Three or two minutes??" Zhang Ran looked a little surprised, he could surround the canyon, but he could imagine how many mercenaries were needed, and these men in black actually killed all these mercenaries in such a short time, Zhang Ran was very strange how these people did it.

The 'drunkard' smiled and said: "The weapons used by those people are not at all within the scope of what we could understand back then, when we were still using World War II weapons and equipment, and they had powerful firepower suppression, and even each of them was equipped with similar equipment to the current individual equipment." ”

Zhang Ran opened his mouth and said in shock: "Back then, they had the current firepower of individual equipment? ”

The weapons and equipment used in that era seem to be backward now, but they were the most high-end weapons in the mercenary world at that time, but I didn't expect that the weapons used by the Men in Black organization at that time were actually comparable to now, which is equivalent to having weapons that transcended the times of the era. In other words, when China was invaded by the enemy, it used millet plus rifles, and if Zhang Ran was allowed to travel back with his current equipment, it would not be the end of every battle.

Tavern: "Well, the powerful weapon fire suppression made those mercenaries helpless, and the strange thing is that they didn't attack us at the bottom, but left after dealing with those enemies, and we also got a chance to breathe." ”

Zhang Ran dragged his chin: "What is the purpose of their doing this?" ”

"How do I know, and they have not been seen since that one, and we have given them the nickname: 'The Black Lord'."

"'Black Lord'? Hehe, interesting. ”

Then Zhang Ran turned his head to look at the 'crescent moon': "Back then, your Arbitration Mercenary Alliance also invited other large mercenary groups, right?" ”

'Crescent' nodded: "At that time, almost none of the teams invited by 'Blackwater' participated in this alliance, so 'Blackwater' finally chose us with strength to form an alliance together. ”

Zhang Ran smiled: "In other words, the Arbitration Mercenary Alliance established by the four mercenary groups of you is actually not the strongest?" ”

"Well, at that time, I also wanted to develop my own team, this alliance can quickly increase our reputation so that we can recruit more mercenaries, so I chose to join this alliance."

The 'Golden Shield' on the side also said slowly: "Well, I thought the same thing at the time. ”

Zhang Ran: "If the current strength of 'Blackwater' is compared with 'Thor', who is stronger and who is weaker?" ”

'Crescent Moon': "If it was placed in the past, 'Black Water' didn't dare to breathe in front of 'Thor', but now it's different, 'Black Water' recruited many excellent mercenaries after the rise of the 'Grim Reaper', plus the forces behind it provided it with high-end weapons and equipment and the addition of military personnel, so that 'Black Water' has made rapid progress. ”

Zhang Ran stood up and said to the four of them with a smile: "Hehe, 'Heishui' formed an alliance, after the alliance was disbanded, you were eliminated one by one, and in the end it was only 'Heishui' who benefited from the alliance, you don't think your team is just a chess piece, it's just." A pawn in Blackwater's expansion plan, using the alliance to consolidate its reputation, covering up the powerful large mercenary group at that time, allowing many mercenaries to join the alliance for protection, constantly absorbing fresh mercenaries from the affiliated mercenary groups, and finally eliminating all of you, forming chaos in the mercenary world, and then recruiting mercenary members from the chaos, this ring by link plan has only now been figured out, and I understand why' Blackwater's frequent actions in the past two years are just to develop the mercenary group as quickly as possible, and you, including me, are just a small part of his plan. ”

'Crescent', 'Drunkard' and 'Golden Shield' all laughed, and 'Crescent' said slowly: "After your 'fall' and the chaos in the mercenary world began, we discovered the intentions of 'Black Water', but it was too late. ”

Zhang Ran smiled: "Hehe, I didn't expect that I thought that our ambush was a big game of chess under the 'black water', but I didn't expect this link to be just a step of the 'black water', hahaha, I didn't expect it!" ”

There was silence in the room, they were helpless at the beginning of the plan of the 'Black Water', and their experience on the battlefield did not help the 'Crescent' to avoid the 'Black Water', which made the 'Crescent', the 'Drunkard' and the 'Golden Shield' all seem a little melancholy.
