"Thorn Warband?" Lin Mu frowned and looked at the soul walker of the Bibang Soul House.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Eternal Hunter. This time, because the border was still in a stalemate stage, most of the forces in Bibon had sent their fighting power to Centburg, so the actual interception of the Solomon family was much smaller than expected, and among them, the most active response to the temple's call was the Thorn Warband. Almost all of their members in the vicinity of Bibang have been dispatched, and a large number of elites are still gathering here in Bibang. The Soul Walker replied.

After knowing the past history of the half-elves, Lin Mu inquired about the attitudes of the elves from all walks of life towards these half-elves from the mouth of the great sage.

Sure enough, because of the disgust of the gods, and under the constant rendering of the temple, these half-elves are not said to be rats crossing the street, but at least they are also the shame of the elf race, and everyone is tired of it, and they are even more unpopular than the slaves captured on the battlefield.

In this case, all their actions seem to outsiders to be a normal desire to survive, not to mention the secret support of Solomon, a family of gods.

If it weren't for the fact that there were gods in this world, it would not be surprising that they overthrew the rule of elves Lin Mu, this is the standard headwind opening routine in the novel.

However, it is precisely because of the existence of gods that any of their actions will be defined as blasphemy, so in fact, from the perspective of a player, Lin Mu is still very sympathetic to these half-elves, although the two sides are now hostile.

Compared to the hatred with the notorious Thorn Warband in the future, Lin Mu felt that the hostile relationship was negligible.

"Let's start collecting interest from this time first!" Lin Mu gritted his teeth and said.

。。。。。。

The Thorn Warband, a military organization whose purpose is to make war money.

At first, this war group was just an ordinary mercenary group, belonging to the kind of people who were not too many or not too little, and the degree of task completion was not high or low, and even the strength of the mercenary group was only the head and deputy head of the group who had just reached the extraordinary primary stage.

It can be said that this is a mercenary group that has no outstanding features and can only gain a foothold in some remote towns. There are hundreds of such mercenary groups in the mercenary association.

It stands to reason that if it weren't for the city where the mercenary group was stationed, it would not have heard its name at all, and this group would have been wiped out in the new group that was constantly being established after the only two transcendents in the group grew old or retired due to injury.

But this mercenary group did not, in the process of performing a mission, due to an unexpected situation, the chief and deputy head of the regiment were killed and injured, and nearly half of the members were seriously injured. And because the task was not completed, they could not get any payment from the association.

Just when everyone thought that another mercenary group would disappear, a miracle happened.

The regiment commander, who thought he was dead, actually reappeared, and his strength has been greatly improved!

Again, this is a world with gods, and anything incredible can happen, so although the members of the group were surprised by the leader's resurrection, they were very happy to welcome their leader.

Because of the improvement of the leader's strength, many difficult tasks were originally completed, and then the commission was greatly increased, the injured members were properly resettled, and the guild station was transferred to a larger city, in short, everything was developing in a good direction.

If it is the story of the troubadour, it should be a perfect ending, but the reality will never be as good as imagined in the story.

Since that rebirth, the head of the regiment has been like a switch has been flipped up, and his strength has been rising at a speed far beyond ordinary people.

The entire mercenary group is also growing rapidly, and every time he goes on a mission, the head of the group will recruit new people. Soon, an E-class mercenary group with less than 50 people expanded into a B-class mercenary group with 5,000 people.

B-level mercenary groups, that is enough to cooperate directly with some smaller kingdoms, and there are only more than 10 such mercenary groups in the entire mercenary association.

At this time, the old members of those teams should have been happy, and even if their strength did not change much, the commissions they received were also increased. It's like being the same waiter, and the salary in a five-star hotel is definitely not the same as that of a small noodle restaurant in front of your home.

However, while they get high commissions, they live in fear.

Because the old members are dying one by one, because of all kinds of accidents...

As a mercenary profession that licks blood from the knife's edge, it is normal for death to occur. At first, the death of an old friend did not attract the attention of these old members, and every time they carried out a mission, there were often new people who lost their lives.

It wasn't until the original deputy head of the regiment also died in the mission that everyone really panicked.

It was just a simple escort mission, and it didn't need to be led by a mercenary with extraordinary strength, but the regimental commander unusually sent the deputy regiment commander out. As a result, on the way to escort, he encountered an extremely powerful beast, and the deputy head of the regiment died in order to escort the target.

The route that can be escorted is obviously a trade route that is often traded, and what kind of monster there is, it should have been cleaned up or expelled a long time ago.

All kinds of abnormalities came together, and the old members suddenly realized that someone was deliberately trying to kill them.

And judging from the records of each death, the person who wants their life is their beloved leader!

Why is this happening? Why did the head of the regiment who used to care for them, who once took the lead in saving the regiment, and who used to treat the mercenary group as his home, do such a thing?

After thinking hard to no avail, the terrified old members decided to quit the mercenary group en masse, which was the only way they could think of.

Then, they met the regimental commander they hadn't seen for a long time, and although his appearance hadn't changed much, they couldn't find a trace of familiarity in his indifferent eyes. The other party is like a monster who wears the skin of a regiment leader, but his soul has been replaced!

Soul!

The members of the group realized something, the mission that caused them to lose a lot and caused the death of the group leader was a strange soulless incident. The soul losers who should have been strong enough for them to deal with suddenly burst out with crushing strength, and the regiment commander who was fighting on the front line was knocked down in an instant without any power to fight back, and the deputy regiment commander fought hard to get some of the regiment members to escape.

In that case, no matter how you think about it, the regiment commander must have died in battle. But he came back alive...

The old members, who realized what they had discovered, left the mercenary group station in a panic that day, and were chased and killed that night.

The huge gap in strength made these old members not even have the heart to resist, and they scattered and fled for their lives, and in the end, I don't know how many people survived.

This dusty past was learned by a travelling player in a deserted valley village from an old man who was about to die.

The old man was one of the old members of the team who escaped, and before he died, he told the player about this secret that had been hidden for the rest of his life, hoping that it would spread and someone could help them avenge it.

The player wanted to complete this quest, which seemed to be an unusual long-term series of quests, and the final reward would be worth a lot of money.

But at this time, the Thorn Mercenary Group was already unimaginably large, and after growing into the first S-class mercenary group on the Mercenary Association, it officially broke away from the Association and changed its name to "Thorn Warband"!
