The starry night is full of stars, and the night is boundless. In the blink of an eye, the east was already white, the night was about to pass, and the dawn of a new day was coming. An early riser was carefully looking left and right at the entrance of the tree hole, and only after making sure it was safe to do so, he turned back to the tree hole and took out a hazelnut to start munching. However, at this moment, the door of the council hall not far from the tree suddenly creaked open, and the squirrel swooped back into the tree hole.

That night, Zhang Yang and Nierjielina stayed in the conference hall all the time. No one knew what the two of them were doing. It's just that when Nirjielina walked out, there was still a hint of surprise and disbelief on her face. However, she seems to walk much lighter and more confident......

At 7 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yang stood on the school ground of the Thunderbolt Mercenary Regiment, looking at the soldiers neatly arranged in a phalanx in front of him. There was a strange feeling of confusion in my heart. He didn't want to see these energetic and hopeful people die, but it was their choice. With a silent sigh in his heart, he tried to cheer up and led Nirjielina to the stands, and then, seeing Zhang Yang's gesture, Nierjielina began to emphasize some things to people about the task and cooperation.

Neilgerina vividly remembered the safety concerns that Master Wright had seriously emphasized to her this morning. Master Wright, who usually doesn't talk much, said a lot this time, and it seems that he thinks this task is very dangerous. That's why Niljielina is making a point of emphasizing security today.

Safe and secure, how many of those who came out to be mercenaries can be said to be safe? Although there is a mercenary group, they can take care of each other, but the mercenary is the work of the head on the waistband of the trousers. Therefore, although Niljielina was serious, there was clearly something wrong with the people below. In a short time, the assembled warriors were led by Zhang Yang and Nirjielina to the west gate of Balxus, where hundreds of mercenaries had already gathered. Compared with other mercenary groups where there are more men and fewer women, or all men, the Thunderbolt mercenary group is a strange situation where there are more women than men, and there are 42 female ** soldiers among the 57 members of the group! On weekdays, some of the soldiers of the Ninth Brigade of Silver Pegasus will also be together, so the proportion is not so amazing, and on this mission, the people of Silver Pegasus can't go, so there is the current situation.

With the arrival of Zhang Yang and the others, the mercenaries who came first began to be restless, shouting, shouting, greeting, whistling, and a few people sneakily gathered together to point at this side, and the scene suddenly became a mess. Zhang Yang and the others found a place to rest in the shade, wanting to be quiet, but there was always a group of male ** soldiers who competed in their faces and came over to talk, but among the female soldiers of the Thunderbolt Mercenary Group, there were all kinds of birds, some of them were discharged everywhere, and there were also female men who dared to come to talk to male mercenaries......

Twenty o'clock passed, and just when the scene was a little chaotic, a small group of samurai guards dressed in the armor of the city lord's mansion, a man shrouded in hooded robes, came to the side of the West Gate, and after a fellow who looked like a civil official accompanied him repeated the task and preached righteousness indiscriminately. The improvised mercenary crusade set out. Because there are nearly 400 mercenaries from a total of 5 mercenary groups, it is impossible to unify the command, so the samurai from the castle lord's mansion are nominally leading the team, but in fact, they are still fighting separately. The destination of this mission is because it is going to a cave in the mountains, so basically most of the way needs to be on foot, and it is impossible to ride a horse, not to mention that most of the small mercenary groups do not have many war horses, and only some large mercenary groups will have cavalry troops, and most of the rest are scouts and the like.

I won't repeat the hard trek along the way.

In the evening, the raiders came to the valley where the target was. The trees are sparse but the weeds and shrubs are abundant. After careful searching, everyone finally found the mark left by the mercenary team before. Yes, yes, here. At this time, some disagreements arose among the crusading forces. Some people thought that they should go in and take him by surprise, while others thought that they should retreat some distance and set up camp to rest, and carefully explore the situation before making plans. There is some truth in what they said to each other, but when they couldn't hold each other, the samurai of the City Lord's Mansion agreed to go in and destroy this place in one go. As for Zhang Yang and others who advocate camping, they don't insist, after all, they still have to give the city lord's mansion some face.

In about forty minutes, along the staccato mark, the crowd gradually discovered a path. It looks like it's as narrow as a beast's path. After a while, under the cover of a large shrub at the end of the path, the dark hole appeared in everyone's eyes......

At this time, the mercenaries were both nervous and excited, and the people who were at a loss did not notice that this cave mouth looked like a huge mouth, and it looked extremely hideous by taking advantage of the dark sky at this time.

Looking at the dark cave, the mercenaries lit their torches and took out their weapons and rushed in.

Zhang Yang felt very uneasy in his heart at this time, his feeling had always been accurate, and this trip did seem to be extremely dangerous, so he decided to take the soldiers of the Thunderbolt Mercenary Regiment to the last line to enter the cave. When the mercenary in front of him was almost close, Zhang Yang found that there were only a few City Lord's Mansion warriors and the mysterious man with a hood outside the cave.

"Captain, it's time for us to go in too, the mercenaries in front are about to be out of sight." Si Weina reminded a little anxiously.

"Well, let's go. Be careful. Zhang Yang couldn't express his sense of danger, and it was impossible to retreat after saying that the matter had come to this point. Luckily, be careful and go in and have a look.

When the guards of the City Lord's Mansion who walked at the end entered, the corners of the mouth of the person hidden under the hood were strangely curved, revealing a bloodthirsty and evil smile......

Zhang Yang led the people of the Thunderbolt Mercenary Regiment to walk cautiously towards the cave with torches, and it was dark along the way, and only by the light of the torches could they barely see a small piece of the environment. This cave is damp and deep, and the more you go inside, the more spacious it becomes, and Zhang Yang also found many traces of artificiality on the way. Unknowingly, Zhang Yang estimated that he had walked into the belly of the mountain for nearly a kilometer! Just as Zhang Yang felt more and more uneasy in his heart, the speed in front of him suddenly accelerated, and Nierjielina and Zhang Yang exchanged glances with each other, and then led the soldiers to follow quickly. However, a hundred meters later, everyone came to a huge natural cave. I saw that this cave was seven or eight meters high, and its length and width were 100 meters away.

"Lord Wright! Look ahead!! What is that? Nilgerina suddenly shouted with some trepidation.

"So, that's supposed to be the altar mentioned in the mission briefing, right? ......" Si Weina whispered as she looked at the evil and strange structure in the center of the cave.

At this time, Zhang Yang fixed his eyes and saw that in the middle of the cave, a black stone altar more than three meters high was emitting a strange dark red light. The altar is roughly triangular in shape, with a base carved with runes below, and a pit at the top, with several winding ditches covering an area of more than ten square meters from top to bottom. The most terrifying thing was that the altar was surrounded by countless corpses, both human and Grayling. A strong fishy smell is coming to my nose!

"It seems that this is indeed an altar to summon demons, and I saw a similar description in an ancient book." Si Weina froze and said with a pale face.

"Careful, danger, coming!" Zhang Yang felt as if he was in an ice cube at this time, and a cold feeling made his hair stand on end.

"Where, sir? I don't see an enemy! "Nilgerina looked very nervous, and it seemed that the situation was really not good to be able to get the usually calm Lord Wright to pay such attention.

Although Si Weina was carefully guarding her surroundings, her eyes kept staring at the altar, and after a while she opened her mouth and said loudly:

"Be careful, everyone, this altar is not fully furnished, and it cannot be used yet, we must quickly tear down the rune base! If that altar kicks in to summon demons, we'll all die! ”

Silvina's shouts were so loud that they echoed incessantly in this empty cavern...... I'm going to die...... I'm going to die......

This call made a group of mercenaries shout, and the scene in front of them made many people stunned for a long time, and when they heard Si Weina's shout, the mercenaries who had the wrong instinct stepped forward with a hula and stepped forward, ready to tear down the altar. At this moment, many braziers suddenly ignited around the cave, and more than a dozen warriors in black heavy armor and three mages in black robes appeared at the other end of the cave. At the same time, there was a boom, and at the entrance of the cave, a thousand catties of stone gate fell. In an instant, the two mercenaries guarding the entrance of the cave were crushed into pulp! Blood, minced flesh sprayed out for meters!

The cave was instantly turned into a desperate situation!
