Chapter 116: It's about me
"What task?" Zhang Wei raised his eyebrows, he was quite surprised to have a task so soon, on the way he asked in detail about the situation of this city of judgment, not to mention anything else, chaos and distance are two important indicators It will take at least a month from here to the city of judgment, and this is still a safe and sound situation.
The City of Judgment, also known as the City of Guardians, was originally built with the intention of defending against the invasion of the Orcs from the north every five years, and since the change in the Trench Mountains, the City of Judgment has also been expanded, shouldering the heavy responsibility of defending against the attacks of the Sunset Alliance.
The City of Judgment belongs to the north and is the family domain of Marshal Michel, a military family of the Empire, and it can be said that it is the base camp of Michel, and the entire city has been run by the Michel family for generations, so it can be said that it is impregnable.
In addition, the weather over there is quite cold, except for the aborigines and merchants, even adventurers and mercenaries rarely go there.
"My eldest young master, the long-distance is naturally an escort mission!" With a tearless expression on his face, Naris got along with Zhang Wei all the way, and Naris found that his new owner was still quite a kind person, so his words began to be casual.
However, Naris's proportions are quite good, no, as soon as Zhang Wei expressed the majesty of being the master, Naris said with a flattering face, "The task is very simple, the remuneration is also high, and there is no limit to the number of people!" ”
"Cut, it's the same old routine again!" Zhang Wei said with a disdainful face after hearing this!
"What's the old routine?" Naris didn't understand for a while!
"Unlimited number of people means that the more people, the better, since the things protected in this way must be very valuable, you have valuable things in your house will be transported with such fanfare? And the task is simple and the remuneration is high, where can there be such a good thing, this money is only afraid to buy life money, and there is a life to earn and no life to spend! Zhang Wei said with a sneer.
Narith is not a stupid person, but he has not been in contact with the mercenary industry before and did not react for a while, so he sighed and said, "Then I'll go see other tasks!" ”
"Wait!" Zhang Wei shouted to Naris, who looked back at Zhang Wei with a puzzled expression.
"That's it, let's hide our tracks, this kind of mixed team is the best! As for the danger, we can't beat it with our strength, so we can still escape! ”
Narith nodded, and turned to go to the paperwork.
That night, Zhang Wei and Naris came to the gate of Beicheng as scheduled, and Zhang Wei affirmed his thoughts for his employer to set off in such a hurry, which was too much to cover.
You must know that this time there were 200 people who set off together, and it is said that three large mercenary groups took over and divided the people to form the lineup this time.
The reason is very simple, even a two-person team like Zhang Wei has been paid 100 gold coins, not to mention those super large mercenary groups.
Zhang Wei even suspected that the teams split from the three mercenary groups were directly sold by their leaders, because the employer's remuneration had already been paid in advance, and it was not impossible for those large mercenary groups to directly get all the commissions and then sell the people they didn't like directly to the employer as cannon fodder.
After all, the larger the mercenary group, the more internal contradictions.
"Young master, the team is gone, shouldn't we also go!" Naris looked at Zhang Wei in a daze and reminded him loudly.
Zhang Wei's thoughts were also pulled back in an instant, and he felt ridiculous when he thought of the series of thoughts he had just made, whether these people were sold or not - it was none of his business.
"Let's go!" After cleaning up his mood, Zhang Wei took the lead in keeping up with the troops, although the team of two hundred people is not a big move, but this movement is definitely not small, especially these teams are composed of lazy and lazy mercenary groups, and there are no less than 10 mercenary groups before and after, which are naturally chaotic.
Zhang Wei and Naris followed at the back of the team, watching the people in front of them chatting and farting, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, the more fearful the ignorant is, the more fierce this trouble is, the more it can attract murderous opportunities.
"Young master, it's too obvious that this is a cannon fodder group, people in the dark shouldn't be so easy to be fooled, I just stepped forward to listen to their conversation, it seems that everyone knows that there is a problem here, and they all think that no one will be fooled by such an obvious trap!" Naris slowly came to Zhang Wei's side from the front of the team.
"Humph!" Zhang Wei snorted disdainfully, "They thought it was a trip to take money for nothing, but I don't know if you have heard a sentence called: Rather kill the wrong than let go." I'm sure the other party will definitely come, and they will not die, but it is true that this master and center of gravity will not be on our team! ”
As if to confirm Zhang Wei's words, in the early morning of the third day, the sky was just slightly white, which was the time when people slept the deepest and most lax defense in the day.
More than a dozen black-clothed men in night clothes quietly appeared outside the camp, and the mercenaries who kept vigil were put to the ground before they could even scream, and finally if a mercenary who happened to come out to pee saw this scene and sounded the alarm, then the consequences would be unimaginable.
"What are you all doing for food!" A shrewd man dressed in a butler's clothes, with gray hair but unusually shrewd eyes, stood in front of several regiment commanders and was furious, "If you find out a little later, the consequences will be unimaginable!" I spend so much money and don't want to ask for a bunch of rubbish! You know what! ”
"Yes, yes, Butler Ohm, please rest assured, we will definitely strengthen our vigilance!" One of the leaders, dressed in a black samurai suit, replied grimly.
"I hope you can do what you say!" The butler named Ohm coldly glanced at all the leaders, and almost all of them had the feeling that they had been looked at from the inside out.
"This housekeeper is deeply hidden!" One of the leaders said, looking in the direction the butler had left.
"Since things are so important, naturally it is impossible to rely on just a few of us, they will definitely send a master over!" The other leader had a look on his face that I had known for a long time.
"Okay, don't talk about it, let's have a meeting first!" One of the leaders suggested.
"I think we should call them all!" The leader who spoke before gestured with his eyes to some small mercenary groups that followed the large army.
Ten minutes later, a meeting of more than a dozen people, led by several large mercenary groups, was held, including the leaders of some small mercenary groups, and of course, Naris.
"My name is Ghosn, the deputy head of the Wolf Fire Mercenary Group, and the person in charge of this mission, everyone must know what happened just now, this time the opponent is extremely cunning and fierce, which makes people unprepared, for the safety of the employer, and for the safety of everyone's lives, I suggest strengthening the guard!" Ghosn was the first to speak, the Wolf Fire Mercenary Group is an A-level mercenary group, with more than 3,000 members in the group, it is a giant mercenary group, and this mission sent a strong team of 100 people, led by Ghosn, the deputy head of the gold-level peak.
Among all the mercenary groups present, it is obvious that Wolf Fire is the most powerful one, and naturally has the right to speak, after all, strength determines everything wherever it goes.
"How to strengthen your vigilance!" The leader of a small mercenary group asked, he himself also has the strength of the silver pinnacle, and he can be regarded as having a certain right to speak.
"Good question!" Ghosn glanced at the group leader appreciatively, and then said, "The previous night vigil missions were all carried out by several of our large mercenary groups, but as you know, if we simply use our strength to send more people, it will affect the next day's itinerary, so I propose that each mercenary group send 5 people to form a luxury vigil team of more than 60 people, and take turns in the first half of the night and the second half of the night to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”
This proposal is not too difficult, after all, in addition to Zhang Wei, the minimum mercenary group here has reached 20 people, and there is no pressure at all to send out 5 people.
"Sorry, there are less than 5 of us!" It was at this moment that a discordant voice rang out.
