Chapter 3 Iron Wolf Mercenary Group
At the same time, our side received the bounty for the mission in the Elven Kingdom. Originally, we planned to go back to Bauhinia Manor to celebrate, but old Heyside suddenly sent us a message to the crystal ball to tell us that we couldn't go back for the time being, because there were new tasks to be completed.
The mission is that all six of us in Avinesia will be at the edge of the Misty Swamp, where a mercenary group called the Iron Wolves will pick us up and tell us what to do next.
Last time, we teamed up with the Night Rose mercenary group to eradicate Marvila in the Bloody Castle, and this time we have to work with other mercenary groups, so it seems that this mission should not be underestimated.
"Hey, I can't go back again, I still have something to complete. Kelvin complained when he heard that he was on another mission
"Don't complain, cooperating with other mercenary groups this time may be a very serious matter. Frank said as he fed his warhorse
The others, Avina and Mayfair, said it didn't matter, as long as they were with everyone.
Nataya also told us that she had heard of this Iron Wolf mercenary group, which was a very famous mercenary group.
But if you want to talk about the substantive information about this mercenary group, she really doesn't have much information, she just heard others say that this mercenary group has a legendary mercenary leader who is very powerful.
The next day, we set sail to the edge of the Misty Swamp, and in less than two days we were in the legendary dangerous Misty Swamp.
The Misty Swamp was the place where the orcs and elves fought a long time ago, and the orcs suffered heavy losses in that war, and it was because of this that the orcs and the elves formed a feud.
So, apart from some unknown dangers in the Misty Swamp, the most frightening thing is the evil orcs. Evil orcs are neither undead nor demons, they are creatures between undead and demons, and they are all dead orc martyrs whose bodies have been mutated by resentment.
We came to the agreed place that Old Heyside had agreed with us in the teleportation crystal ball, which was close to the Misty Swamp, but we hadn't seen anyone from the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment, and we really didn't know what kind of people were in the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment.
It was getting late, and the six of us decided to camp here for the time being and wait for the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment.
I was in charge of the first watch, and after a brief meal of dry food, the others rested around the campfire wrapped in sleeping bags. It gets dark very quickly, and in a short time the sky is full of stars.
With the Sword of Punishment in my hand, I keep an eye on the wind around me, because I will wake everyone up as soon as I notice something unusual.
Suddenly, I heard a rustling sound in the bushes, and it was very uncomfortable.
Before I could wake the others, eight or nine large stinger spiders popped out of the bushes, their ugly appearance was disgusting to look at, but they were really large, each the size of a round table.
"Wake up!" I yelled
I saw a flash of fire pass in front of my eyes and shoot at a stinger spider in front of me, and the spider twitched in pain, and soon its whole body burned and turned into a ball of fire.
"Who is it?"
"We are from the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment, hurry up and destroy these stinger spiders with us. ”
By this time, all the people were already awake. Since it has long been a habit, everyone quickly gets into combat mode.
Mayfair cast a light-based illumination spell, and the situation around her became much clearer at once. These spiders were so terrifying that I was almost stabbed by their stingers.
In fact, when I used to follow old Heatside, I had heard of these large spiders that lived in swamps, and their poison was so terrifying that it could even kill people.
Not only that, but by the light of illumination, I could see that the number of these stinger spiders was far more than eight, at least twenty or more.
I didn't have time to think about it, and immediately swung the sword of punishment in my hand and slashed at a spider that tried to attack me. I used all my strength with this blow, and the spider was directly split in half by me, and the juice in the spider's body sprayed everywhere.
Similarly, Frange used his shield to block the stinger's huge, ugly tentacles. Nataya, on the other hand, unleashed a fire-blast spell behind Frank's back, and the spider was roasted by the flames with a scorched smell.
Kelvin and Avina shot at the spider swarm behind me, and the three of us formed a triangular formation. In this way, we can protect each other's backs, and these tactics are the result of our long-term combat training.
About two or three stinger spiders died at the hands of Avina, as they were all covered in ice arrows.
However, Kelvin was not so optimistic, and the firearm he researched and invented only seriously injured one stinger spider, because the stinger spider's shell was still relatively hard, the penetration of the firearm was not enough, and the bullet time was slightly longer. If it weren't for Avina taking care of Kelvin's side, Kelvin would have been injured by these stinger spiders.
Mayfair also hides behind Frank, our Mr. Knight is still very competent, and he always fulfills his duties to protect the two magicians in the team.
Since our defense was flawless, these spiders didn't hurt us. Of course, this is thanks to the mercenaries of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group who appeared in time, and their actions gave us precious respite.
I saw that the rockets cut through the night, whistling and piercing the bodies of these stinger spiders, and the arrows did not miss.
At the same time, the warriors wielding the double swords also frantically brandished the double swords and slashed at those spiders, and soon with the help of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group, the group of spiders died, seriously injured, and the rest disappeared into the long night.
"Hello, we are from the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment. My name is Evenna, and this is Lother. The elven girl, who also wielded a bow and arrow like Avina, said
Unlike Avina, though, the blonde elven girl wields flaming arrows, and thanks to her timely help, I would have been seriously injured.
"Nice to meet you, we are members of the Demon Hunter Mercenary Regiment. My name is Nataya, and I thank you very much for your help. ”
"My name is Larrick, thank you.
"My name is Avina. ”
"I'm Frante. ”
"My name is Mayfair"
"It's me, I'm Kelvin, the great inventor. ”
"Haha, it's nice to meet you too, I'm Lother, a mercenary. ”
We and the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment knew each other like this, and they led us to the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment camp not very far that night.
It was late, so we slept in sleeping bags in an empty tent that we had set up improvised and slept soundly that night.
When I woke up the next day, the sun was already high up.
We lifted the curtain of the tent and stepped out of the tent. The sun was shining on me, even though it was still a little damp.
The camp of this mercenary group is not large, about forty or fifty people. The camp is surrounded by sharpened wooden fences, and mercenaries take turns keeping guard.
When Iwena saw that we were all awake, she came to tell us that breakfast was ready, and told us to go to the mercenary chief's tent for breakfast.
The six of us followed Iwena to the leader's tent, and the space in the tent was really spacious.
Inside the tent was a large round table, on which breakfast for seven people was served.
To my surprise, this legendary mercenary leader was not as scary as he thought. On the contrary, he is a very easy-going person and a very easy person to get along with.
He has a thick beard on his face, and he exudes a temperament that has been through the vicissitudes of life.
"You haven't eaten breakfast yet, and I haven't eaten either, so let's sit down and eat together." "The mercenary captain called Ivena to beckon us to take our seats
"Don't be inhibited, I don't have any delicious food here, it's all home-cooked food. Everyone is open to eat, and I am full here. After the six of us sat down, the mercenary captain began
Since I hadn't eaten a decent meal in days, I began to feast on such a hearty breakfast.
"Thank you for your warm hospitality, this time we are not just here for such a hearty breakfast. Nataya said
"You eat first, and then we'll talk about the next tasks after you've eaten. The mercenary captain said
In this way, we had a full breakfast, and the amount of food we ate really surprised the mercenary captain, but he was happy.
Through the conversation at the dinner table, we learn that the legendary heroic mercenary captain is named Faens.
After we had our fill, we started talking about the next steps.
It turned out that the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment had come to the Misty Swamp to camp under the guidance of the Prophet Brands early on. The reason is simple, the Prophet sensed in advance that the dark forces here were about to move. The ancient power seems to have been eroded by demonic energy, and an evil force is awakening.
This time, our Demon Hunter Blade Mercenary Regiment also received an order from the regiment commander to come here to investigate. Over the next few days, we'll be conducting a carpet search of the Misty Swamp to find the dark Ones' clues and nip them in the bud as soon as possible.
After learning what we were going to do, Faense asked Evina to arrange our lodgings and to show us around the camp.
The camp was pretty good, and some of the mercenaries even set up stalls in it to sell some loot. In short, the atmosphere in the whole camp is quite harmonious, and the relationship between the mercenaries is very good.
It was just a little boy who caught the attention of all of us, and that little boy was sitting alone in the corner of the camp. He just sat dumbfounded, not saying a word.
"His name is Macarus, don't bother him, his parents were killed in the Doom Wings attack on the capital, and he witnessed the death of both parents. It was the head of the regiment who discovered the wandering Makaros and brought him back for adoption. Macarus never talks to anyone, and you'd better not provoke him, he's special. Seeing that we were curious, Iwena explained to us
Ivena also emphasized that the child is very special......
