After a day's trek, the Unicorn Mercenaries have arrived in a small town on the outskirts of the Forest of Chaos, where they will be stationed tonight.

The small town is not large, and there are about a hundred people living in it, most of whom are homeless people who have been oppressed by the aristocracy, and the remaining few are some wanted fugitives.

There are many small towns like this in the Forest of Chaos, and the exact number cannot be verified, but some people have sworn that it is definitely more than 10,000.

The inhabitants of the town would reclaim wasteland around the town and grow food. Small towns will also be open to passing mercenary teams, providing room and board for a small fee.

After the head of Barber negotiated the price with the leaders of the small town, a dozen young men walked out of the small town and moved the fence that was running across the gate of the city.

The city gate slowly opened, and the unicorn mercenary group rushed in.

The small town is divided into two parts, one of which is crowded with dozens of shacks, which are the residences of the residents. The other half was more open, with a simple row of stables and a few simple wooden huts to shelter from the rain, which were specially prepared for the mercenary group to stay there.

In the open field, Captain Bobble instructed the regiment to park the cart first, and then untie the mules and horses and drag them to the stables to feed them with special forage. After settling the goods and horses, the head of Barber arranged for twenty men to divide into two teams to take turns to watch the night, and finally disbanded all the members of the group and began to cook in pots.

Even if the unicorn mercenary group is in a small town, it is still vigilant, which is the basic quality that a qualified mercenary group should have. And the small town side also arranged for more than a dozen people to watch the mercenary group's every move, and it was obvious that they were also very wary.

In fact, this is the norm in the Forest of Chaos, where the town side is afraid that the mercenary group will loot the town, and the mercenary group prevents the small town side from coveting dozens of carts of goods.

Danger is everywhere and requires constant vigilance. The pursuit of interests requires boldness and carefulness. This is the law of survival in the Forest of Chaos.

Although the two sides did not trust each other, several women with rattan baskets came out of the town, bringing coarse food and cheap drinks, and weaving among the mercenaries, selling them vigorously.

Bobble, a qualified regimental commander, frowned, called Raleigh, and gave an order in his ear. Then Raleigh led three mercenaries and drove away some of the women, who laughed and left the unicorn camp until they entered the town's dwellings, when they began to curse and swear from their mouths.

"A bunch of poor ghosts who don't have the guts. ”

"They don't deserve to make a fortune. ”

"Cowardice, curse them to go out tomorrow and meet the horde of Warcraft. ”

......

Seeing that the women had been driven away, Captain Bobble re-entered his cabin. The mercenary group will not accept any food from the small town side at all, and this is purely for their own safety.

At night, the mercenaries began to sleep, and the personnel assigned to the night watch quickly lit bonfires around the camp, and then disappeared in the darkness in pairs.

After the members of the regiment had been arranged, Captain Bobble summoned his two lieutenants, Raleigh and Morsi, and the three of them discussed in his tent.

"Boss, I'm not questioning you, it's just that the route we took today doesn't seem to be the direction to the Mercenary City, right?"

It was Raleigh who opened his mouth to ask, he was the head of the battle sequence, and he was the number two person in the Unicorn Mercenary Regiment, although he was full of questions in his heart at the moment, but he still maintained enough respect for Bobble.

"Yes, Captain. Mursi on the side also chimed in.

Bobble smiled slightly, he had long known that the two of them would ask this question. In the past few years, their unicorn mercenary group has been taking the trade route of the mercenary city, this route is already familiar to them, this time it suddenly deviated from the direction, and many people in the team must have noticed it.

When asked by the two deputies, Barber did not answer immediately. I saw him slowly get up and walk to the area where his belongings were placed in the southeast corner of the wooden house, and after rummaging for a while, he returned to the two of them with one item in each hand.

Once seated, Bobble gently placed the two items in his hands on the table.

"Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, I believe you are no strangers, right?"

Raleigh and Mursi nodded in unison, if they wanted to select the most prominent chamber of commerce in the forest of chaos in the past two years, they would not hesitate to vote for the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce.

No one can tell when the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce was established, and no one knows who the owner of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce is, but almost all the mercenaries have heard the name of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce.

Probably two years before the Prayer Year, a commodity that was loved by all mercenaries began to appear around the Forest of Chaos, "Knight" cigarettes. These products, called cigarettes, are packaged in cartons and are half the size of a palm. When opened, there are 20 stick-shaped cigarettes that are slightly longer and thinner than normal adult fingers, and when lit, they can smoke the smoke produced by the cigarettes.

Forget worries, be happy, and feel like being in heaven, this is the unanimous evaluation of cigarettes by everyone. As a result, cigarettes began to sweep the entire mercenary world, and the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, which produces cigarettes, is also completely famous in the Forest of Chaos because of the best-selling cigarettes and everyone's popularity.

Then after the half-prayer year, the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce once again launched a new product, "Beast's Blood" wine.

Clear, sweet, fiery, the wine that men should drink. This is the evaluation of the beast's blood wine by the good deeds, and accordingly, all the previous drinks were dubbed "the wine that the women drink".

The Forest of Chaos was originally based on the respect of the strong and the heroic by strength. As soon as the beast blood wine appeared, it also quickly sold well, and then became popular.

As the owner of the "Knight" cigarette and the "Beast Blood" wine, the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce quickly rose to become the top chamber of commerce in the Forest of Chaos within two prayer years.

The more mysterious something is, the more curious people become. And the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce is just in line with this, so it makes people talk about it even more. As a result, under the influence of word-of-mouth, mystery and many other factors, the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce soon became a legend.

Captain Bobble tore open the pack of "knight" cigarettes, handed one to Raleigh and Morsi, and then lit one himself.

Gently exhaling a puff of smoke, Captain Bobble spoke.

"We won't go to the mercenary city this time, forty carts of grain will be transported there, not to mention the small amount of money, and the goods that can be purchased and brought back every time we return are the leftovers picked by the big mercenary group and the big chamber of commerce. ”

"This time, I'm going to try my luck at the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce's residence. The head of the Blood Tiger Mercenary Regiment, Haimer, revealed an important message to me some time ago, the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce has recently purchased a large amount of food from the outside world, and the price they gave was two percent higher than that of the Mercenary City. ”

At this point, Captain Bobble snuffed out the cigarette that had reached the bottom of his hand on the table before continuing.

"And, more importantly, the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce agreed to exchange grain for knight cigarettes and beast blood wine. In this way, we can also purchase all the goods for the return trip at the same time. A round trip, I estimated, would make three times more money than we used to make. That's why this time I decided to change our final destination. ”

After saying this, Barber looked at Raleigh and Morsi, who were shrouded in smoke, but they did not speak immediately, but fell into deep thought at the same time.

It wasn't until a cigarette was finished that Mursi was the first to speak, "Commander, according to what you said, the profit can indeed be much more, but high returns also mean high risks." We have never walked the route of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce's station, and we don't know the gathering places of demonic beasts, bandits, and half-orcs that need to be paid attention to along the way. Of course, these are minor problems, and as long as we are careful along the way, we should be able to get through. ”

Mursi said this, paused, and looked at Bobble. Bobble nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"Leader, have you ever thought that if we choose to trade with the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, it will definitely offend the Mercenary Guild and some big chambers of commerce. Mursi knew that there were only three of them in the room at the moment, but he still unconsciously lowered his voice and whispered.

Bobble lit a cigarette again, but before he could speak, Raleigh spoke first.

"What are you afraid of, are we going to be oppressed by those miscellaneous all the time? Old Mursi, it's not me talking about you, you're really getting less and less daring. Boss, I think your decision is right, now the mercenary city is giving less and less compensation, if we don't change, the team won't want to have greater development. ”

"Raleigh, don't shout, Mursi is also thinking about the safety of the team. Barber quietly waited for both of them to finish their opinions, and then gave them another round of cigarettes.

"Morsi, I've considered all of what you've said, and the risk is really high. But there is another thing that you may not know, and that is that I heard that the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce is currently recruiting guards. And the reputation of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, I have carefully investigated, they have been committed to helping the incapacitated. Rumor has it that their president once said that the weak are the cornerstone of this world. This coincides with His Excellency Abby, the mercenary king of the year. ”

Mursi was startled and looked up at Bobble in surprise. "Commander, what do you mean ......?"

"Yes, I have carefully considered it, if the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce is willing to accept it, I think our mercenary group can join it. The current mercenary union has deteriorated, and they have also used the way the nobles fought for power and profit on our small mercenary groups struggling to survive. In the long run, we will be a money-making tool for the mercenary unions and the Federation of Chambers of Commerce, and in the end, we will even become slaves to their exploitation for generations. ”

Mursi thought for a moment, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Commander, then this time, according to what you said, we will go to the residence of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce." ”

"Don't worry, we went this time, on the one hand, to do business, and on the other hand, to investigate whether the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce is really as rumored. ”

Filled with smoke, Bobble sighed, "Since the death of His Excellency Abby, the Mercenary King, the Forest of Chaos is no longer a paradise for our mercenaries. ”
