Chapter 19: The Lord of the Lake
Orange!
The Mercenary Association is said to only award this badge to the leaders of the top 20 mercenary groups in the mainland, which means that they not only perform well in terms of individuals, but also give them the strength to complete the S-level entrusted tasks with the strength of their team, it can be said that the orange badge is not only the seniority level of a mercenary, but also the affirmation of its entire mercenary team.
The mercenaries who were talking to Ivan and the others immediately stood up in fear.
"Hahaha, you don't have to be nervous, I'm just a gluttonous worm in my stomach."
Wood squinted, and the person in front of him was extraordinarily imposing, like a mountain.
"I wonder if I can enjoy the rare good wine and meat together?" Ivan and Ciel were silent, and it was clear that the tall new mercenary was asking Wood.
"Absolutely." Wood made a gesture of invitation to the other party.
The other party was not polite, and he smiled and sat down.
"With all due respect, Your Excellency?"
"Trogle."
"It turned out to be the famous 'Tiger King.'"
"It's just someone else's lifting, it's not so exaggerated."
"I don't know who you are?" The Tiger King stared straight at Wood.
Wood smiled, "It's just a little person who doesn't know what to say." ”
"Hahahaha, a mercenary with a purple badge is not a small person."
Purple Mercenaries!? Ivan looked at Wood in surprise, originally thinking that the other party was about the level of a dark blue mercenary or a silver adventurer, but he didn't expect that he really underestimated this man. Although the purple badge is not as good as orange, it does not mean that the strength of the purple mercenary himself is necessarily weaker than orange, the difference between the two is more the gap between the mercenary team, and Wood seems to be just a wandering lone mercenary.
In other words, he got the purple badge with only his personal strength?!
Trodel actually took a fancy to this, the other party's team was only three people, a dark-haired boy and a petite girl, and he directly ignored the possibility of these two people. Although it cannot be ruled out that the other party may have taken on the mission in his personal capacity, it is more likely that the other party is a lone mercenary with extraordinary personal strength!
So, the Tiger King opened his mind.
"I don't know, what is Captain Trodel going to do with the Lake Lord?"
Although Trodel had his own thoughts, he was not in a hurry at this time, and he did not dwell too much on the issue of Wood's identity.
To Wood's question, Trodell replied very generously: "Tomorrow, the 'Wild Wolf' in the east and the upcoming 'Yellow Springs' mercenary group plus our 'Tiger' three mercenary groups will work together to gather all the mercenaries present, with our three major regiments as the main force, to deal with the lake lord first, as for the dragon heart grass, it depends on everyone's ability." ”
Indeed, in the face of the lake lord who is very likely to be a ninth-level demonic beast, the mercenaries whose highest combat power is only at the eighth level have no chance at all if they do not unite, and the gap between each rank is like a moat, and the gap between the ninth and eighth levels is higher than all the previous levels combined.
"So I'm in charge of gathering all of you here, and I hope you'll follow behind our mercenary group when we attack tomorrow." Everyone understands that this sentence is actually focused on Wood, and the purple badge represents the strength of the other party, he not only hopes that Wood will serve as the strategy of the Tiger Mercenary Group in this battle, but also hopes to recruit Wood to serve the mercenary group permanently.
Wood looked at Trodel with a smile, and then replied, "This requires the consent of our regimental commander, and the one over there is our regimental commander." The direction of his eyes was that of Ivan.
What are you doing! Ivan gestured to Wood with his eyes, and Wood pretended not to see.
Trodel looked at Ivan with a frown and asked, "So what is the opinion of this regimental leader?" ”
Ivan saw Wood wincing at him, and could only reply, "Of course." ”
"Well, I'm looking forward to your excellent performance tomorrow." The Tiger King stood up, glanced at Wood, and left.
The mercenaries also took their leave.
"What do you think?" Wood asked Ivan.
"Are you talking about tomorrow's actions?"
"Yes, do you believe them?"
"I don't believe it."
"Why?"
"Because their strength is stronger!" Ivan replied honestly.
"Hahaha, why do you say that?"
"The strong don't need to be weak."
“.......”
By the early morning of the next day, the men and horses of the three major mercenary groups had all assembled, and under the coercion and temptation of the big mercenary group, whether you sincerely agreed or were dissatisfied, all of them participated in this battle against the lake lord.
"Tiger King" Trodell stood at the forefront, it seemed that he was the commander of this battle, and he was mobilizing loudly in front: "Our three mercenary groups are the main attackers, and the rest of you only need to assist in the attack, and after defeating the lake lord, we will compete for the dragon heart grass with their own abilities, but I want to explain it now, if anyone cheats and cheats in the battle, then our three major mercenary groups will definitely hunt you down in the whole continent!" So, for the gold coins! Let's teach this damn monster a lesson! The scar on his face made him look unusually fierce at the moment.
"So, what the hell are you going to do with the Lake Lord?" In the crowd, Hill asked quietly.
Warcraft in the water are usually the most troublesome for adventurers, and the opponent's home advantage is always overwhelming, and the resistance in the water will bring the best fighters to a standstill, which is undoubtedly fatal.
Therefore, most of the monsters in the water are dealt with by large ships, and adventurers can also step on the deck to minimize discomfort. (except seasickness)
However, it is clear that there are no boats now, and if you use a raft, you may only be overturned by the other party, and eventually become the belly of the lake owner.
Soon, Trodel "answered" Hill's question.
"Now, all the mages are out of line, using the maximum level of ice spells you can use."
Soon, led by the eighth-level Grand Magister of the Yellow Springs Mercenary Group, all the mages present began to chant. All of a sudden, the wind and clouds changed color, the weather above the lake changed amazingly, the frost and cold came, the cold took over, the bright white elves were dancing rapidly, the frost storm led by the eighth-level great magic guide changed the appearance of everything around, the tall trees around were covered with ice and snow, and the huge lake had been frozen with thick ice.
That's the power of magic!
The strength of the mage was completely manifested at this moment, and the moment the eighth-level Great Demon Guide cast the spell, he seemed to be the master between heaven and earth!
Ivan looked a little distracted, his eyes flashed with a strange look, longing and loneliness.
Ciel looked at Ivan worriedly.
Wood patted them on the shoulder, motioning for them both to concentrate and prepare for a battle that would most likely result in death.
"Now, I and the Wolf King are in charge of the lead, and the people behind are all paying attention, protect the mage, and everyone will follow!"
The tall Trodel drew his broadsword in one hand, and the rather thin "Wolf King" Wolf next to him only silently wiped his steel claws.
"Let's go!"
At this moment, the mercenaries rushed onto the ice with great momentum, and everyone was so confident!
But it didn't keep the mercenaries waiting long.
The huge black shadow under the ice showed the identity of the other party, the thick ice did not make the black shadow stagnate, the huge figure broke through the ice, and a few unlucky mercenaries who had not had time to dodge disappeared into the big mouth full of fangs of the other party.
The attacker looked like a mixture of a reptile and a fish, with a 10-meter-long torso and a slender body with four fins and a long tail behind it, and its skin was covered in scales.
Lake Lord!
Feeling the terrifying momentum brought by this huge water beast, many mercenaries no longer dared to move.
Ninth-level Warcraft! This kind of power can only be possessed by a ninth-level demonic beast!
The birds and beasts are all trembling at this moment!
"!" Trodel gritted his teeth, he didn't expect it to be a ninth-level demonic beast of the wurm type, fight!
Trodel jumped up and slashed hard, breaking the somewhat suffocating atmosphere.
"Attack!" A huge fiery serpent wrapped itself around the lake beast.
The eighth-level Great Demon Guide looked focused, and for a mage who had reached his level, the casting speed of many spells was basically negligible.
Only then were the mercenaries able to break away from the momentum of the opponent's ninth-level demonic beasts, and the mercenaries were originally a group of bold people who could do anything for the sake of gold.
Countless mercenaries are charging towards this behemoth at this moment!
At this time, at the back of the battlefield, Ivan was still sighing at the horror of the ninth-level demonic beast, and the momentum brought by his appearance just now made him unable to move, Wood walked over and said to Ivan and Ciel: "Everything is according to the plan discussed last night, this is the only possibility of success." ”
Ciel nodded, and stepped back, fading into the trees behind him.
Ivan looked worriedly in the direction Ciel had left.
Wood drew his greatsword behind him.
"You better worry about yourself first, the ninth-level big guy is not so easy to deal with, don't die here."
