Out of the town of Prancing Horse, a few rookies were so anxious that they rented a carriage and tried to reach the red clay slopes as fast as possible. The fear suppressed for a few days has made them all soldiers, and the mercenary groups or caravans on the official road are all bad guys in disguise in their eyes.

"I said, twin brothers, why do you want to hang behind the mercenary group in front?" The oldest mage apprentice asked.

"I know the mercenary group in front, it is a small team of the snow wolf mercenary group, the reputation of the snow wolf is not too bad, we follow them, even if someone is not good for me, there is a chance to turn to them, Michelle, don't follow too closely, mercenaries don't like people to follow them."

This is the proper solution that Loki and the Locke brothers have come up with, the enemy is in the dark and they are in the light, it is better to find a shelter, and it turns out that their ideas are quite solid, at least they have not been attacked in the past two days.

"Let's hope we can reach the red clay slopes safely." Michelle raised his whip, and the horse neighed and quickened his pace.

There were seven young mages in the carriage, and they were in good spirits, and they had no rest from their long fears, and they had to keep vigil at night, and under the loss of appetite, several of the mage apprentices began to lose weight, and Avril's little face turned sallow, and her eyes were bloodshot.

The mage was already in weak health, and the fatigue of many days of travel had greatly reduced their strength.

"I've had enough!" Avril clutched her head and shouted, she was on the verge of breaking down, "How long are we going to go on like this?" Before we reach the red clay slopes, we will be scared to death by ourselves! ”

"I'm sorry, Avril, I planned this operation in the first place, and it was my idea to go to Prancing Horse Town, I didn't think it ......through," Michelle comforted her female companion.

Avril lowered her head, it was the first time she had done something so dangerous. She used to yearn for adventure stories in her travelogue, but when real danger came, she couldn't deal with it.

"No, I'm not complaining, Michelle, I'm just thinking. We can't afford to be so passive anymore. Avril gritted her teeth and offered her advice.

"So what should we do? We don't even know who our enemies are! The mage apprentice looked at each other.

"That's why we're trying to find a way to dominate!" "We're going to have to dig up the real enemy, and I think they're poisoning because they're not sure they're going to win on the front," said Loki and the Locke brothers. ”

Michelle pondered for a moment and asked solemnly, "What do you have a good method?" ”

"If they can poison Andy silently, as long as we let go. They can also find gaps, so we don't have much safety following the mercenary group, but instead remind them that we are prepared to make them more vigilant, so we should stay away from the mercenary group first before they come out. ”

Loki and Locke's proposal was immediately opposed.

"Are you crazy? Once we leave the mercenary group, we will die! It was you who said that you were going to follow the mercenary group, and now you are the ones who say you are leaving the mercenary group! ”

The two brothers rolled their eyes in unison. They are mages with tendons, and they are as stubborn as oxen in their thinking.

"Following the mercenary group is a temporary method. Not applicable anymore! ”

"I think the twins are right." "But then? We are all mage apprentices, and we can only use spells that are not very lethal, and even if a group of samurai come out, we can't parry. ”

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"

The twin brother said, "Since they can use potions, we can use the same method." We recently looked at a drug. It's a lot of movement to use, but if you're surprised, it should work well......"

……

The mage apprentices in the back are in full swing to prepare, while the mercenary group in front is a different scene.

In order to better observe how a few rookies solve the current crisis, Xia Yi hired a mercenary group as a cover. Unfortunately, it was the team led by Brent, who was of barbarian descent, and Brent agreed to hire them without even asking for payment, because they were just about to go to the clay slopes, which was equivalent to a companion.

In the convoy, Xia Yi was holding eagle glasses to observe a rudimentary carriage behind him, looking pitiful on the dusty road.

"Clever young man, but following a mercenary group is not a foolproof solution." Xia Yi put down her eagle glasses and asked, "Head Brent, where did we just go?" ”

Captain Brent cleared his throat and said, "Speaking of which, the journey from the Danube to the Orc Kingdom takes two months...... Miss Chailly, why are you paying special attention to the carriage behind you? It had been with us for two days, but it was absolutely not a threat. ”

"Of course I believe in the abilities of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group scouts, they are just some mage rookies, because I have been in the mage academy for a while, so ......"

"You want to keep them safe? It's easy, the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group is happy to do it, and your companions can do it easily. ”

"No, no, no." Xia Yi rejected his kindness, "I don't want to intervene, I just want to see how these mage apprentices solve the crisis." ”

"That's right......," Brent muttered to himself, "You're so idle.

Patriarch Shabit said sullenly, "What a delay, hostess, we could have returned to the Red Clay Heights a week earlier. ”

"I can understand how you miss your hometown." Xia Yi raised an eyebrow at Patriarch Shabit, "But these mage apprentices are very useful to us, so I want to win them over." ”

"What?!"

The old drunkard screamed, and said with a gloomy face: "Little girl, do you think that I am redundant on the red clay high slopes? Or am I less effective than a few apprentices? Oh, you broke my heart. ”

"Your heart is made of glass, isn't it?" Xia Yi sneered, "Because you always have too many important things to be busy, so there are many things about low-level spells, and I don't want to trouble you, such as the development of thunder stones, you can't always ask a Sanctuary mage to do it personally, so I think it's necessary to recruit a few small mages." ”

"You're right, Xia Yi, there are too few mages on the Red Clay Plateau, you see that the nobles of the human race, at least they will keep some mages in captivity, they are usually useless, but they are very helpful at critical times." Mondo was keen to build the military power of the Red Clay Slopes, and it was better to have more warriors at his disposal.

"But it has to be at least the mage level, what's the use of a few apprentices?" The Shabit patriarch was calculating the expenses, and their halflings had to feed a group of idlers again.

"They're no ordinary mage apprentices, at least they have good potential." Chailee has some interest in the twin brothers and Andy's abilities.

"Alright, it's just a few days to delay, Brent, and besides, how long will it take to go to the dwarven realm?"

"The dwarves' settlements are relatively scattered, in the south of the orc kingdom, it is about two months away, and the elves live in the jungle, although they are not as far as the dwarves, but the roads are rugged, and it is not easy to transport goods." Brent has been dealing with various races for many years, so he is familiar with it.

"Okay, I want to go to these kingdoms to sell a batch of goods, and at the same time raise the banner of the Red Clay Plateau, and the task of escorting will be handed over to the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group, I trust your ability, in terms of remuneration, what do you want?"

Brent thought for a moment and said, "Miss Chary, you are my friend, even if you do things for free, there is no problem. ”

Xia Yi said in a knowing way, Brent said this for the sake of the zombie king's face, she said solemnly: "Head Brent, we are talking about business now, and it has nothing to do with private feelings, and this is a long-term cooperation, and the remuneration must be paid, which does not mean that we are not friends, you know this better than me." ”

"Alright then, ten percent commission, that's the rules of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group."

"Deal!" Xia Yi said heartily.

Although it is a little more expensive, but in terms of security, Xia Yi at least doesn't have to worry anymore, no mercenary group on the continent will be safer than Snow Wolf.

Because in the desolate northern part of the northeastern province, there are no hotels here, and after nightfall, Xia Yi and the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group can only camp, the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group brings its own tents, and Xia Yi and they have enough carriages to sleep.

"Chailly, the carriage behind you is gone." Mondo said, holding his eagle glasses.

"Really? Maybe it's too dark. "It's true that Shay can't see the carriage behind him.

"No, two days ago they camped not far from us at night, and today they can't even see the bonfire."

Xia Yi muttered, "What the hell are these little ghosts doing?" Do they have a solution to the problem? Or have they already been put down? Mondo, come with me to see the fun! ”

The mage's apprentice's carriage was indeed far away from the mercenary group, and even deviated from some paths. They built a bonfire at the foot of a hill, and the horses were gnawing on hay.

On the mountainside, a group of people were watching the carriage at the foot of the mountain.

"Boss, they left that nasty mercenary group and ran to the foot of the mountain! They're here to die, hahaha! ”

"Idiot!" The bearded man took a sip of wine and scolded, "This must be a ruse!" ”

"But...... Boss, they only have seven rookies, and one of them hasn't woken up yet, and even if they find us, the front is not our opponent. ”

The bearded man hesitated, he was not a rival, even though the other party was an inexperienced apprentice. Weighing the pros and cons of both sides, the bearded man has always had an advantage, but being so troubled by the apprentices allowed them to take the lead, and the group of people who originally planned to intercept the carriage here hesitated.

What the hell are they doing?

"Boss, don't think about it, it's just a few mage apprentices, you can't let them go! Don't forget, even if he does, he won't sit idly by......"

The beard finally faltered, yes, with him, let alone a few mage apprentices, even if it was a few mages, what was there to be afraid of? (To be continued......)
