Early in the morning, the embers are on the line, standing on the deck, admiring the beautiful river view, watching the sparkling surface of the river, and the fragrance of the lush crops on the river bank.

After a day's voyage yesterday, the ship has left the dangerous pirate area and entered the hinterland of the kingdom, Kanna, as the precious granary of the kingdom, and the province where the royal capital is located, where many legions of the royal family are stationed at any time, as well as the temple guards of the Holy See, except for a few roving bandits, the security here is very good.

According to the captain, he should be able to reach the Holy Crown City at noon tomorrow, but in yesterday's battle, not only did the guards who accompanied the ship suffer heavy casualties, but even the original sufficient daily necessities were plundered by the fishmen, so the ship needed to find the nearest port and recruit sailors and guards.

Along the endless wheat fields, you can faintly see several huge windmill mills in the distance, which is what the captain said about Tangji Town, as one of the important ports for the kingdom to export grain, Tangji Town has very rich human and material resources, which is very suitable for caravan supplies.

Looking at the distance between the two sides, based on the current speed of the ship, it is estimated that it will take an hour or two to reach Tangji Town.

The process of waiting is painful, I believe everyone has had the experience of taking long-distance transportation, except for sleeping, the rest of the time is really boring, and you can only rely on enjoying the scenery along the way to pass the time.

Ember looked boredly at the shore, a group of players of more than a dozen levels, holding shiny weapons, cleaning up the wild boars in the wheat field. From time to time, there is a scream, these new whites have not experienced the baptism of war, the method of fighting monsters is no different from the novice village, but the vicious wild boar will teach them to be human.

These players who are lucky enough to randomly go to the hinterland of the kingdom, the task is simple, the rewards are rich, and they don't have to be born and die like the demon leader players, and they do the task of cleaning the farm, clearing out bandits, transporting supplies, etc., and they can quickly accumulate prestige and military merits, and once they reach level 20, they can easily change to a power profession.

It's a pity that there is a lack of combat experience, and it is difficult to fight against ordinary beasts, let alone fierce monsters, which is also the epitome of the whole game now, most of the players level up on a relatively peaceful map, and do not have much combat experience.

For example, there are several masters in the battlefield, then the whole battle will show a one-sided situation, the battlefield report is full of masters' kill records, a standard battlefield down, the top few masters are often twenty or thirty heads, and the rewards of the entire battlefield are divided cleanly......

Yes! Another scream, this group of Xiaobai did a cleaning mission, and actually ran into a wild boar king, estimated to be the leader of the wild boar in the nearby area, with sharp fangs one by one, killing this group of budding newcomers who can only fight in turn-based battles.

"Alas, the time has come to accumulate virtue and accumulate character!"

Stepping back a little, Ember Annihilation triggered the "Giant Power" of the wrist, then a charge accelerated, a big jump flew into the air, connected to a move Feiyan, then used the return wind to slash in the air, two seconds later used the Feiyan, and finally used the Starfall Slash to smash down against the Boar King on the shore.

-9917 (Critical Hit) -2421 (Flame)

One blow knocks out three percent of the boar king's health, and then makes up a few more knives at will, and the boss's three or four hundred thousand health drops by a small square.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just here to help, not to rob monsters!" In order to prevent misunderstandings, Ember made a statement in advance.

The newcomers who survived the catastrophe next to them looked at the big guy with excitement to help, couldn't help but let out words of praise, and then cautiously joined the battle group.

Three minutes later, under the DPS of about 2,000 Ember Annihilation, the mini-boss fell so easily, and then Ember Annihilation summoned the snow pony and chased the boat along the river bank without looking back.

"This is really, the matter is gone, and the merit and fame are hidden!"

"Big guy, please take care of it!"

"Wait, God, are you still missing a leg pendant?"

"Brother Master, can you add a friend and make an appointment another day?"

On the lookout of the ship, the first mate and the captain of the escort couldn't help but nod their heads as they watched Ember fly over half of the river and easily return to the deck!

Arriving at the town of Tangji, the players disembark with the captain and then find the town's restaurant and tavern for a good meal and drink, after all, the food on the ship is too unpalatable.

"Chosen Aember, your excellent performance has washed away my opinion of you, although most of you are very vegetable, but you have the strength to fight Karp, I want to invite you to join our Shunfeng Chamber of Commerce and temporarily serve as the vice captain of my Snow Wolf escort team, how about it?"

At the dock tavern, the first mate and captain were busy recruiting sailors and guards, while the captain dragged Ember to the bar and sipped, trying to hire the Chosen One.

"The salary is easy to say, like Captain Karp, one gold coin a day, just when my Snow Wolf is dispatched, the ship acts, each cargo arrives safely, and there is a 5% freight commission, which is much better than you going to work in mercenary groups, artisan restaurants and other places!"

This captain is quite sincere, according to the current level of player strength, this job does pay a lot of money, but it seems that he forgot that players will grow rapidly, one gold coin a day will be a drop in the bucket after a month, and once you accept the contract certified by the system, you can't rely on it, otherwise the punishment is very serious.

"Originally, I wanted to refuse outright, Captain, you seem to have neglected the growth of our Chosen One, maybe I can have a draw with Captain Karp today, but a week later, I can easily defeat him with a hand, believe it or not?"

The wine glass in the captain's hand was suddenly pinched, but thinking of the twist in his words, he couldn't help but wink, and told him to continue:

"You can choose to hire me temporarily, and the commission will be adjusted according to my own strength, for example, in this escort mission, there is an enemy that is difficult for you and Karp to deal with, but after I join, I can share your pressure, so for this difficulty, I charge 20 gold!"

Negotiating, you must first open your mouth, otherwise you will play all the cards as soon as you come, and you will only talk to yourself to death.

"How is it possible, even if it is Captain Karp, counting the commission of this freight, he can only get 10 gold coins, why should you take 20, and there is no effective constraint on temporary employment, if my ship is really in trouble, how can you guarantee that it will definitely come to help me?"

The hot-tempered captain slammed his hand holding the beer glass on the bar, and suddenly a burst of hops broke out.

"This is the emblem of my mercenary group, if I don't have time, I still have hundreds of brothers under my command, and five rare elite-level deputy captains, although they are not as good as the captain's escort, but it is still okay to deal with some small fish and shrimp!"

The captain's face couldn't help but change, he originally thought that he was just an ordinary adventurer who borrowed his boat to hitchhike, but he didn't want to be a mini-boss.

"Void Breaking Mercenary Group, it's now the January level, it's not bad, it's almost as strong as my escort team, can I move you, it's really worth these 20 gold coins, leave a contact information, I agree!"

The mercenary group is divided into three major levels, each level is divided into five levels, and the general month-level mercenary group is considered a medium-sized mercenary group, with at least a few hundred to thousands of people.

"Wait, maybe the captain misunderstood, 20 gold coins, I'm talking about myself, if you want to hire my whole team, at least that's the number!"

Ember Extinction's fingers spread and shook it in front of the captain's eyes, then retrieved his mercenary group insignia.

"Fifty gold coins isn't much...... Wrong? Please explain to me why your team is worth 500 gold? ”

"Hehe, I don't know what kind of troops the captain's escort is?"

"Most of them are second-order warriors and archers, and there are a small number of martial artists and monks."

Ember shook his head, using the mercenary group insignia, and the system generated a table of his latest subordinates.

Void Breaker Mercenary Group (January Level):

Place of Registration: Holy Alliance, Holy Yao Papal State, Demon Suppression, Demon Suppression City, Rogue Town.

Office: Mercenary Guild Holy Alliance Branch, Rogue Town, Shengyao Kingdom.

Leader: Ember, a level 20 low-level warrior, trainee paladin

Honorary Leader: Phantom of the Thriller, Level 21 Elemental Mage

Deputy Leader: David, Level 20 Spirit Fighter; Fendor, level 20 sniper; Blue, Level 20 Darkthorn; Gudan, Level 20 Arcanist; Wei Ya, Level 20 Priest.

First rank: 300 militia, 50 levies

Second Order: 150 Crossbowmen, 30 Convicts, 30 Exorcists, 80 Werewolf Hunters, and 60 Shield Guards

Third Order: Nun 20

Normal Orders: 1 time for Class C, 3 times for Class D, 12 times for Class E, 26 times for Class F

Military commissions: 1 time for S-class, 1 time for A-class, 4 times for C-class, 12 times for D-class, 37 times for E-class, 13 times for F-class

Looking at the resume of this mercenary group, the captain couldn't help but be shocked, this is not lower than the size of his own escort team (the first-order ones are logistics or cannon fodder, which are generally not included in the combat power statistics), and looking at the completion of the commission, it should be a force that often mixes in the battlefield and has very strong combat effectiveness.

"Dare to ask, your Excellency's mercenary group, what is the opponent you face in the military S-class tasks you have completed?"

"Demon King!"

"You, you're not going to talk about the Demon King of the Demon Suppression Domain, are you?"

"Yes, it's a pity that we only shot a crossbow arrow from 800 meters away, and then retreated in a hurry, don't think that our strength is really strong enough to hunt a clone of the Demon King!"

"Is that just a clone...... I'm sorry to be distracted, Your Excellency can have this record, it seems that your mercenary group has a bright future, the 500 mercenary fees are absolutely worth, I wish your Excellency's "broken void" to be upgraded to a large-scale mercenary group at the Japanese level as soon as possible, and then it will not only be my Snow Wolf, it is estimated that the entire Shunfeng merchant group will need your group's care! ”

Then the captain happily handed Ember 20 gold coins, after all, this is all said and done, and the employment fee of the 50 silver coins at the beginning is really out of reach.

"Well, thank you for the captain's generosity, in fact, I also want to cooperate with your Chamber of Commerce, but now we are really few people, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the eyes of your Chamber of Commerce!"

"This is on me, but I, the captain, am also a minority shareholder of the Chamber of Commerce, and those who do business like to make friends all over the world, one more friend and one more way!"

The next time, Ember and the captain happily discussed some small details of their cooperation.

In fact, the head of the regiment didn't pay attention to it at all during this time, and left the five Xiaoqiang to the care of the dead fat man, and left it alone, who knew that the guy of the Phantom of the Thriller was worthy of being the number one strategy player in the Netherworld Empire during the internal beta test with himself!

A few little guys were trained quite well by him, and they successfully changed jobs, and also promoted the mercenary group to a large class, and used the funds of his own chamber of commerce to build the mercenary group into his exclusive escort team, and ran around the logistics support construction of the Demon City all day long, and got a lot of kickbacks!

After chatting for a while, the first mate and Captain Karp also recruited a lot of men, and after the captain generously paid the mercenary money, the sailors who had been licking blood for many years joined their team.

"Captain, I feel that something is wrong with this group of people you have recruited?"

I saw that among the more than 100 sailor-level guards, there were more than a dozen of them wearing black cloaks, thin as skinny, with pale faces and deep gloom.

Isn't this a bunch of undead creatures, what are their plans, or is this actually a follow-up to this escort mission?

"It's okay, it's okay, that group of people is said to have fled here to make a living because of the locust plague in their hometown, and their families are starving to death, Karp sees them pitiful, plus there are a few rare mages, so he simply took them in!"

Seeing that persuasion is useless, it seems that this is really a plot problem, and then Ember Annihilation notified it in the dungeon channel, so as not to let some people get bored and go offline, in case there are not enough people at that time, and the people and ships are empty, but it will be troublesome.

At least, don't kill this captain, he still wants to rely on him to hit the line of the Shunfeng Chamber of Commerce, and then borrow their line to catch up with other NPC chambers of commerce in Wharton City, which can be regarded as repaying Jinghong for his hard work in cultivating the five Xiaoqiang during this time.

The men got into the boat and continued in the direction of the royal capital, which according to the map showed that they were only halfway there.

The players, following Captain Karp, tapped the cargo in the warehouse to see if it had been lost in the previous battle, but fortunately, the group of fish-man thieves seemed to be only interested in food, and the goods did not move at all.

After the count, everyone returned to their places to eat, drink and have fun, but near the dozen or so black-robed people, a group of players faintly surrounded them, and once the plot was triggered, they would strike first!

Because Kanna belongs to the plain terrain, the soil is fertile, the rainfall is abundant, and there are many rivers, this large river named the Sujiang River, after entering Kanna, the water flow becomes gentle, the river channel is also widened a lot, and the trend of nine bends and eighteen bends, this remaining waterway is much easier.

"Order those pulpers to speed up, we have been delayed for a noon in Tangji Town, and we must rush back in the remaining time."

Perhaps it was the reminder of the embers that made the captain feel alarmed, and seeing that there was no wind today, he ordered the paddlers to paddle vigorously to speed up the ship.

But it's a pity, this is a cargo ship after all, with a large displacement, a deep draft, and a speed like that, anyway, Ember Annihilation didn't feel much improvement, and for the sneak attack monsters, the speed of this merchant ship is also compared to that of a snail!

Not long after leaving Tangji Town, a sailor found traces of a water monster on the observation platform, and it was not a crocodile, a hippotamus, a turtle, a small fish-man or something, but the overlord of the sea, the Naga clan!

"How is it possible, this is the center of the continent, what are those snakeskins doing here, it can't be because they have taken a fancy to the goods I transported, I didn't transport pearls, corals and other marine specialties, at most, at most the most popular women's underwear in recent years, are they interested in this!?"

Ember couldn't help but smile and said to the captain:

"It's really possible, after all, they have been wearing shell corsets for tens of thousands of years, maybe which one got the human cover, and felt smooth and comfortable, so they hyped it up!"

"Yes, yes, yes...... Karp! Tell the guards to prepare for battle, they must have come to grab the underwear, and tell the sailors to bring all the underwear to the captain's quarters! ”
