It was another dark night.

The exterior of the double-storey wooden building where the Thunderfire Mercenaries lived was covered with a black curtain, so that no one could see the candles burning inside.

"Take it," David tossed a package to Luo Lan and explained, "Here are a few portions of cured meat and a water bladder, enough for you to eat when you're out and about for three days." ”

Captain Norman still had a cold face, and said in a low voice: "According to the information we have received, we have roughly known the general location of the Blood Sand Mercenary Group's station, and we will set off tonight, everyone brings two horses, and we may have to travel through the dense forest for two days," he slammed his fist on the table and said, "Destroy them in one fell swoop before they know the information of our specific actions!"

David glanced at Luo Lan and said, "Before that, we still need to wait for the captains of other mercenary groups. ”

Luo Lan was stunned and said, "Other mercenary groups?"

"Yes," David nodded heavily, "We don't have enough people to deal with a large group of thieves like Bloodsand. He looked at Luo Lan's expression and said, "Are you thinking why we don't expand the number of mercenaries themselves?" He clasped his hands together, smiled and shook his head: " It's not that simple, because the tasks that our mercenary group can take on at the moment are not very high, so the task rewards are not very rich, and the source of information, the maintenance and maintenance of equipment, the breeding of horses, especially the consumption of magician magic crystals, etc., are all a lot of expenses, four people are already the limit of our current financial resources, in this case, it is also extremely natural to find other mercenary groups to cooperate. ”

Mage Carol smiled, "This is an old rule among mercenary groups. ”

David was also responsible for guiding newcomers in the mercenary group, so he told Luo Lan some necessary common sense within the mercenary organization, and he took this opportunity to explain patiently: " For example, because of the complexity of the task, sometimes the task is simple but the number of people is small but it cannot be completed at all, so whenever there is a large mercenary group after receiving the task, some low-level mercenary groups will gather together with each other and ask if there is anything they need to do. ”

There was only David's voice in the room, and everyone seemed to remember the scene when they first entered the mercenary industry, and at that time, the old man with them also took the trouble to explain.

"Generally, we will give them marginal tasks such as interception, pathfinding, and pursuit, taking our operation this time as an example, there are more than thirty members of the Blood Sand Thieves Group, and our main task is to kill several strong masterminds, and the remaining minions can be divided into these small mercenary groups to deal with, these minions are also clearly marked on the mercenary bounty list, and we will give a small part of the benefits to the small mercenary group, in fact, it also allows us to save a part of the energy, which is a mutually beneficial method. Not only does it ensure that our mission is completed more perfectly, but it is also very beneficial to the development of these little mercenary teams. ”

Luo Lan understands that these small mercenary groups are just like vassals, relying on the task assignment of the big mercenary groups to maintain their survival and development. And in order to get greater benefits, they have to work hard to curry favor with the big mercenary group.

He shrugged his eyebrows and speculated, "Can I understand that in the event of a war, the mercenary group can also quickly assemble a well-coordinated force to serve the noble lord?"

David looked at him in amazement and said, "Exactly. Your ability to deduce is beyond my imagination. He shook his head again and said regretfully, "It's a pity that you're not a real mercenary, it's a pity." ”

Luo Lan was surprised: "Didn't I already join you?"

Carol sat on the table, her feet off the ground swaying leisurely, she laughed when she heard this: "You can only be regarded as our team member, not a mercenary, because you have never registered with the mercenary union, so you can't get the honor and rank of a mercenary from the rewards of the mission, but can only share the physical rewards." Her head tilted slightly, thinking of something, and clapped her hands: "By the way, those mercenary groups that cooperate with us can only get physical rewards, just like you." ”

Luo Lan thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "It's just that if there are more mercenary groups, the confidentiality of the news is not easy to do, right?"

Captain Norman said coldly on the side: "The six teams here today and in the future are all teams that have cooperated with us before and have no problems. He looked at Luo Lan and said, "They are all trustworthy." ”

I don't know if Norman was so unkind when each new team member first came here, in short, he was very strict with Luo Lan, and said in a commanding tone: "Remember, we don't need you to apply any auxiliary magic in battle, and non-fatal injuries don't need you to heal." As a priest, you just have to stay behind honestly, and if we fail to retreat, that's when you need to step in. ”

David smiled, trying to ease the atmosphere, he patted Luo Lan on the shoulder and said, "Don't mind, the captain talks like this, a priest is equivalent to adding a life to everyone." Therefore, he should not waste his magic on support, but should work at the critical moment. ”

Luo Lan showed an expression of understanding, and he smiled lightly: "This is natural, I don't know much about your fighting methods, and I haven't run in with each other, so what the captain said is indeed the best choice." ”

David looked at him in surprise and said reassuringly, "You know that's the best." ”

While he was talking, footsteps were heard downstairs.

Everyone was in high spirits: "It's coming!"

As soon as the door opened, the captains of four or five mercenary groups entered the room one after another, they were all excited, and as soon as they got the news of the convening of the Thunderfire mercenary group, they hurried over.

Luckily, the room was spacious enough that so many people didn't seem cramped together.

Norman glanced at a few people with a condensed gaze, and said unhappily, "What about Dalrod? Why is he late every time?" Before everyone could speak, he waved his hand and said, "Don't wait for him, David, give them what you have to do." ”

David stuffed a scroll into one person's hand and said softly, "Everything that should be done is written on it, you should go back and prepare as soon as possible." ”

Several mercenary captains saluted respectfully, and just as they were about to leave, the mage Carol suddenly stood up eagerly and said loudly, "Get out of here!"

Norman's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "It's too late, protect the priest!" and a vindictive light began to dance on his body.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the whole room shook with a bang, and the improvised magic arrays arranged around it shook unbearably for a moment, and then turned into bits of light and dissipated into the night sky.

One of the mercenary captains lost his voice and said, "It's a magic bomb!"

At the same time, with a wave of her staff, a light blue elemental barrier appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and she said in a condensed voice, "Be careful, and!"

David flashed, and his fat body took the initiative to stand in front of Luo Lan at a speed that did not match his body type, and at the same time, his body burst out with cyan fighting energy, he took a deep breath and said, "Everyone is ready, pay attention to the companions around you, don't panic after dispersing." ”

There was another violent wave of elements, and it seemed that a long whistling sound came from the distant sky.

In an instant, the voice approached the heads of the crowd.

There was a brief silence.

Subsequently......

"Boom!"

It seemed that the whole world shook violently, and the entire wooden structure of the upper layer of the building was completely destroyed, breaking into countless flying wood chips and fragments and flying in all directions.

Everyone was catapulted around, and Luo Lan smiled slyly, he didn't defend at all, but at the moment before the magic explosion bomb approached, his body sank, and he stepped hard through the floor under his feet and fell down.

His feet touched the ground slightly, and he suddenly clearly felt three breaths approaching him in the darkness.

He smacked, and the fingertips hidden in his sleeve began to glow with a faint white blade.

A dagger silently stabbed him into the heart, but its owner suddenly widened his eyes and made a hoarse sound in his throat.

The indifferent thief Van walked out of the night with two swords in hand, and walked into the starlight that fell overhead, accompanied by three corpses that had been cut in the throat and fell to the ground one after another.

Twin swords?

Luo Lan's eyes narrowed slightly.

In the Thunderfire Mercenary Group, this Fan who has never spoken almost makes people think that his strength is the weakest, who knows that he is actually a thief who is known for his strongest combat effectiveness among the three thieves!

Looking at Luo Lan's white priest's robe, Fan's eyes showed a faint disdain.

Interestingly, Luo Lan's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve slightly.
