Summer is about to pass, and the time is about to enter autumn, and most of the mercenaries wearing short sleeves are already feeling the slightest coolness.

It's a green plain, north of the city of Josson, where weeds can reach up to their calves, and from time to time a few gray-white rabbits leap up from the weeds and hide in their burrows. Along a flat path that had been trodden out, the mercenaries made their way in an orderly manner.

"Boss, is that man really a magician? Garu said that the man had magical powers and could manipulate invisible ghosts to fight, and I think he must be bragging, maybe that man had fooled you all. Among the novice mercenaries was a young man named Lucis, who walked beside Frank with a questioning tone. "I think that guy is pretending to be a ghost, but he just happens to know the whereabouts of the armament weapon. Otherwise, you can ask him to perform some magic on the ghost next time. On the way to the town of Peace, Lucis recalled the situation in the infirmary, where the young man in the blue hat had sat motionless on his bed with his eyes closed all morning, while the mercenaries had waited all morning, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The fantasy magician is supposed to be wearing a pointed magic hat and holding a mysterious and simple magic staff, and that guy is indeed wearing a hat and a cane, but no matter how you look at it, he looks like a hypocritical liar.

"Keep your mouth shut. Frank replied with only one sentence, his expression grim. From the time he left Josson, Frank began to find the trip unpleasant. The captain of the guard named Geges and his cavalry ran out of the city without looking back, didn't they know that they walked on their legs? Maybe they know that they just want to take the credit for recovering the armaments and weapons alone! They still think that the middle-aged man is a man worthy of trust......

"Boring ......" Lucis, a novice mercenary, was not bored by the Commander, and looked left and right, and saw that the stupid Earl seemed to be staring at him with malicious intent. "What are you foolish Earl don't keep walking behind me! I always think you want to poke me in the ass with that goddamn cane, you don't like men, do you?"

"Please be respectful to the Count. "Among the mercenaries, there was a Humpty Dumpty man with a huge shield who walked beside the Count of Fools, and he was the only one in the mercenary team who would not call the Count an idiot. Because of his figure, everyone likes to call him Meat Shield, he is fat like a ball, his face is rough, but his voice is a little gentle, which makes people listen to it and have a feeling that they can be trusted. "You should be quiet for a while like the other two new birds. ”

"Huh. Lucis sneered, resting the scimitar with the delicate leather holster on his shoulder, and squinted at it, "Hey, there's a Humpty Dumpty here! What is this Humpty Dumpty mercenary called......?"

"You!" Humpty Dumpty's eyes widened.

"What? do you want to make a gesture?" Lucis took a step back, flipped his wrist, and played a beautiful knife flower.

"His name is Deoda, remember his name, and in the future you will cry and shout for him to protect you. The foolish Count gave Deoda a chest stroke, "Thank you for maintaining my dignity." Deoda returned the favor and ignored Lucis's provocation.

"Don't worry, I'm the only one to protect you!" Lucis retorted, frowning at the sour appearance of the two men, and then began to doubt the correctness of his decision to join the mercenary group.

His ideal mercenary group should be a group of hot-blooded men who venture out in the forest and dance on the corpses of horse thieves, not the group in front of him...... Now it seems that their brains are not very bright.

"It's not me who provokes trouble, as a man, I can't stand such humiliation. Mr. Sissy said softly.

"Hey, Mr. Sissy, what's your weapon?" asked Lucis, curious. He saw that everyone else had their own weapons in their hands, but this slender and bewitching man was empty-handed. "Your weapon can't be an orchid finger, right?"

"New Bird, you should be called a nasty, do you have to offend the whole mercenary group? You know, you don't even have the rank of a samurai, you are the most despised, hum!" Mr. Sissy pinched his orchid finger and looked at him in disgust. "It's decided, you'll be called Lucis, the nasty ghost, and I'll remind you that you'll not be able to call us code names until you're standing by our side to help us fend off our enemies. ”

"Haha! Nasty is a good nickname! ”

"Mr. Sissy is right! Yes!"

Everybody's in the know.

"Hmph. Lucis snorted softly, snapped his itchy ear, and flicked a cloud of wet yellow earwax away.

"Stinky boy, you're fucking bouncing earwax on me!" the catfish screamed in disgust as he rubbed the earwax off his chest. "Looks like someone has to step up and teach you a goddamn new bird nasty!"

"Hahaha, aren't you called Catfish, Catfish should be very flexible......" Lucis said as he dodged the catfish's big hand. "Come on...... Come here, everybody watch me fishing!!" He weaved his way through the mercenary team, and finally hid behind Deoda the flesh shield. "Quick!Meat Shield, use your shield to block the catfish!"

"You're fucking!" Catfish is also a young man in his twenties, agile, I saw him flash, really like a slippery fish, instantly flashed behind the meat shield Deoda, and was about to catch Lucis, but was slipped away by the kid.

I don't know who it was, stretched out a leg.

Syllable!

Lucis tripped and fell to the ground.

Bang Bang!

Before Lucis could see who was behind him, two huge fists smashed in turn.

"Hmm!" Lucis screamed as he clutched his nose, "Damn catfish, you broke my nose!" Lucis broke free from under the catfish and rolled to the side.

"Hahahaha! New Bird Nasty Ghost Taught a Lesson!" Smiley Garu laughed, and the other mercenaries laughed as well, and the laughter spread throughout the plains.

Holding back the sourness and sharp pain that came from the bridge of his nose to his brain, Lucis didn't let the tears that had gathered in his eyes flow out, damn! Damn! He got up from the ground angrily, looked around, and didn't see the catfish, but found that the mercenary team that was marching towards the peaceful town had stopped.

What happened?

Lucis covered his nose and looked at the front of the group in confusion.

I saw that fifty paces ahead, a row of cavalry was lined up in black.

Isn't that the light cavalry that fought the front station, why are they waiting here now?" Lucis wondered.

"Let's go, why don't you go!" they are waiting in front!" said Lucis.

"Array!Meat shield!Quick!Stand ahead!" Suddenly, Lucis heard Frank's roar! The entire mercenary group moved into action, gathering together, some holding their shields aloft, others holding iron swords and battle axes in front of them.

Just as he was wondering, Lucis felt a strange sensation in his chest...... He looked slowly into his chest, and at some point, an arrow was stuck there...... And I haven't had time to feel pain yet......
