Chapter 21: Night Attack
A few days later, standing outside the town of Castle Mountain, I looked at the majestic mountains as far as the eye could see, and in front of me was a dwarf town that could be seen everywhere.
I was silent for a long time before waving my hand and signaling the convoy to set off again. I didn't enter with much fanfare this time, but a very ordinary one, and neither the carriage nor the shop guards hung the insignia of the Nalan family.
Sitting in the carriage, I lifted the curtains and saw that the town had not changed much from a year ago. It's still a mercenary on the street, it's still a scantily clad woman who laughs, and it's still a street full of foul language.
But maybe there has been a big change, who knows how many mercenaries on the street have changed?
Nobody knows, because nobody cares.
The Warcraft Mountain Range is a huge wealth, and on the periphery of the Warcraft Mountain Range, there are many small towns like Qingshan Town, and there are countless mercenaries in the town who lick the blood from the knife edge.
Every year, I don't know how many mercenaries bury the bones of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and how many mercenaries have broken hands and feet and crippled their lives. But these towns never fall silent, because more mercenaries full of fantasies and vain plans to get rich overnight will come and fill these towns......
The next morning, after breakfast, I set off alone for the Demon Beast Mountains, and I sent a few shop guards back to Wusi City. This trip is special and should not be accompanied.
Moreover, I was well prepared for this trip, and the help of a few fighters and a fighter was far less important to me than it was more than a year ago.
I put away the ring and looked up at the Warcraft Mountain Range that occupied my entire field of vision in front of me, the mountains were lush and green, the ancient trees were towering to the sky, and a terrifying roar sounded from time to time, but it was the Warcraft in the mountains!
I didn't have the slightest fear in my heart, but a little pride. I laughed, strode forward, and said with a smile: "Demon Beast Mountain Range, I'm here again!" β
The ground is overgrown with weeds, and insects and poisonous snakes swim in it; The canopy of the trees above the head is like a canopy, which shelters from the sun; In the middle are horizontal branches and vines, and from time to time a small beast flutters.
I had long since lost the vigor I had set out, my clothes were in disarray, and my sword had become a trekking pole. I raised my hand to wipe the sweat from my forehead, and couldn't help but curse, the deeper this Demon Beast Mountain Range goes, the more it is not a place for people to stay!
In particular, there are more Warcraft, and I have been attacked by Warcraft three times. Fortunately, there are only first-order demonic beasts here, and I am not in danger and not injured.
Seeing that it was getting dark, I looked left and right and chose a place. It was a valley with a large area of bare rocks, weeds and no trees.
When I came to the valley, I collected dead wood and lit a bonfire, and I took out the jerky and warmed it up and ate it.
I brought this jerky all the way from Nalan Mansion, and I don't know how the cook made it, but it smells good and tastes good.
As I ate, I thought about it. The destination of my trip is naturally near the lair of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, where I will wait for the arrival of Yun Yun, the sect master of the Yunlan Sect.
But the Amethyst Winged Lion King is a sixth-order demonic beast, comparable to a human Douhuang powerhouse, and his lair is naturally in the depths of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range.
I looked down at the map in the dim flickering light of the fire. I pointed a little at the amethyst-winged lion king's lair.
Looking at the map, I thought for a long time, and my fingertips began to move slowly, and after drawing a zigzag line, it coincided with my current position.
"Well, it seems that this route is the safest......"
I sighed, this route was indeed the safest, bypassing the territory of several fourth-order demonic beasts on the road. A third-order demonic beast comparable to a human great fighter...... It's not marked on the map!
Also, there are fewer fourth-order demonic beasts, and there are more third-order demonic beasts. The Warcraft Mountains are very dangerous, who can draw that kind of clear map?
But this also means that I am likely to encounter a third-order demonic beast on the way!
Third-Order Warcraft, Third-Order Warcraft......
I was thinking sadly about how to deal with the third-order demonic beast, and suddenly, there was a sound nearby!
"Human ...... Mercenary? β
I stood up and looked at where the voice came from, and I quickly recognized that it was not a monster, but a human, probably a mercenary?
Soon, several people came out of the woods, and I counted them, and found that they were five mercenaries, three men and two women. And they spotted me, and the five of them were on guard and slowly approached me.
I pursed my lips, and although I didn't care about these low-level mercenaries, I didn't dare to be careless, and my hand touched the hilt of my sword. If these people don't have long eyes, they will be killed.
Fortunately, these people are smart, maybe they were scared by me? They stopped fifteen paces away, and a leading middle-aged man walked a few steps alone, and shouted in a low voice:
"Little brother, my name is Kagang, and I belong to the Bloody War Mercenary Regiment. Our team happened to be hunting monsters around here, and seeing that it was getting dark, could we set up camp here as well? β
I glanced at them, was silent for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "You guys...... Is it the bad guy? β
Ka Gang was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and was about to speak, but he didn't expect a rather young girl behind him to speak.
She shouted angrily, "We are the people of the Bloody War Mercenary Regiment, how can we be bad people? You can't speak! β
"Ling'er, don't talk nonsense."
Ka Gang came back to his senses, turned his head and scolded the girl, then turned around, smiled at me, and said: "Little brother, Ling'er has been spoiled, don't care about her words, she has no malicious intentions." That ......"
I nodded, sat back down by the campfire, pointed to the other side, and said, "Okay, you can camp over there, just don't disturb me." β
When the petite girl heard this, she became angry again, and pointed at me and yelledβI don't know if it was spring, and she was in good spirits......
Kagang hugged his fist at me, turned around and scolded the girl to reassure the girl before setting up camp on the other side.
I watched this scene and nodded secretly, it seems that these five mercenaries are really not bad people...... As far as that little girl's temper is concerned, if it is really a gang of bad guys, where can she be allowed to make such trouble? I'd have died a long time ago.
Hey, five more vigils for free!
I chuckled, but I wasn't my own guard, so I was relieved. I put a coat over my body, closed my eyes and rested shallowly, not daring to sleep.
Tonight is only half a moon, the moonlight is unknown, and the four wild woods are black and oppressive, and it is not real.
Suddenly, I opened my eyes suddenly, turned over with my hand on the hilt of my sword, and stared at it, only to see more than a dozen figures rushing out of the surrounding area, surrounding the valley!
I was shocked, but I didn't expect the enemy to touch my eyes, and I found out. Looks like I'm not really good for fighting......
On the other side, the five mercenaries also noticed it, let out a few exclamations, and subconsciously leaned towards me. The mercenaries were armed with blades, and the petite girl began to curse again, shouting at the figures who had surrounded the valley:
"We are from the Bloody Mercenary Regiment, who are you? Dare to surround us, do you want to start a war with our bloody mercenary group?! β
I pouted, too lazy to stop the girl's stupid behavior, what if the other side replied? I don't know who's on the other side?
"Bloody mercenary group?"
There was a sneer in the darkness, and a figure stepped forward. By the moonlight, I vaguely saw that this man was a young man, twenty-five or sixteen, and his figure and appearance were unremarkable.
He sneered and said, "My target is not you, but whoever made you unlucky and caught up with you to find death, it's no wonder to me." β
"Li Wuchen?!"
Just when I wondered who this person was, the five mercenaries around me all exclaimed in surprise, their faces full of shock.
I frowned, looking at Kagan in confusion. He glanced at me with a complicated expression, and after listening to Li Wuchen's words, he already knew that Li Wuchen was coming at me. Opening his mouth, he muttered, "Li Wuchen is the second leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Regiment...... He is also a one-star fighter! β
Wolf-headed mercenary group? I frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, I barely remembered that this wolf-headed mercenary group seemed to be one of the three major mercenary groups in Qingshan Town, just like the Bloody War mercenary group?
I turned my head, looked at Li Wuchen's eyes, and shouted in a deep voice: "Li Wuchen, since you want to kill me, then you should know who I am, you...... Not afraid of the Nalan family's revenge? β
"Nalan Ye!"
A terrible shout suddenly sounded, and I stared at it, and a person slowly walked out from behind Li Wuchen, dressed in a black dress, with long hair reaching to her waist, but she was a young woman in her early twenties.
Her face is delicate, not beautiful, and Liu Ye's eyes are full of hatred. She stared at me closely, gritted her teeth and said with hatred: "Nalan Ye, you killed my brother at the beginning, and today I will avenge my brother and kill you!" β
I was confused, why did the revenge for killing my brother come out?
I raised an eyebrow and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" Your brother...... And who? β
The woman in the black dress laughed strangely, and said hoarsely: "My name is Ah Li, and my brother is Hemon...... Do you remember? Hahahaha, I have given up revenge, but, haha, you actually came to Qingshan Town again, and you dared to enter the Warcraft Mountain Range alone, this is the opportunity God gave me! β
The woman in the black dress turned crazy, pointed at me and smiled madly and said, "Nalan Ye, you are such an evil person, God can't stand it!" Haha, hahahaha, today, you will definitely die! β
I was silent for a moment, then looked back at Kagang and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter with them?" β
Kagan didn't speak, because he looked at me in shock, as did the other four. The petite girl covered her mouth with her hands, looked at me with surprise, and exclaimed, "You, you are the one who came to Qingshan Town more than a year ago...... That young master of the Nalan family?! β
As one of the three major families of the Gama Empire, the Nalan family also has a strong Douwang powerhouse, which is undoubtedly an extremely distant thing for these small town mercenaries.
And a young master of the Nalan family, in their eyes, is not much different from the prince, right? No wonder they were so surprised.
I glanced at the girl, only to see a hint of admiration in her eyes? I ignored her and looked away at Kagan again.
Ka Gang reacted and hurriedly said: "Nalan, Young Master Nalan, Hemeng is the original third leader of the wolf-headed mercenary group, when you entered the Demon Beast Mountain Range more than a year ago, he went in with you, and later ......"
He paused, looked at me carefully, and then continued, "You killed me later...... After the news spread, his sister, that is, Ah Li found Qingshan Town, and that Li Wuchen was Ah Li's husband. β
"They knew that you killed Hermon, and they didn't dare to take revenge, so they had to stay in Qingshan Town, but they didn't think about it...... Unexpectedly, you came to Qingshan Town again, and they found out......"
