On the road leading from the fortress of Reedi to the port of Ancona, a caravan of more than a dozen carriages was moving along the road.

It was a joint caravan formed by several merchants. Due to the frequent attacks on caravans by Warcraft recently, many merchants choose to set off in groups and jointly fund the hiring of mercenaries to protect the caravans.

The larger the caravan, the less likely it is to be attacked, and even a slightly intelligent monster knows that such a large team is not easy to mess with, so the journey is relatively safe.

Next to the carriage at the front of the line, two mercenaries with weapons and equipment walked beside the carriage with a relaxed face, scanning the surroundings from time to time, alerting the surrounding situation.

It is surrounded by open fields, and some dense shrubs and not too tall trees can occasionally be seen in the vast fields.

"I feel like I've had a lot of luck along the way, maybe I can get to the port of Ancona without a fight." A middle-aged warrior with a shield and a spear smiled.

The other young warrior didn't speak, kept looking around, and seemed nervous.

"Oh~ David, take it easy, don't be so nervous, there's nothing here." The middle-aged warrior said with a grin.

"Uncle, I think there's something wrong with the bushes over there. There was nothing around, but there was a lump of bushes......"

"Oh~ David, you're so nervous. As a mercenary, you must learn to conserve your stamina. The middle-aged warrior patted the young warrior on the shoulder, "This is a plain, unless the enemy hides underground, it will definitely not be able to hide from our eyes." ”

"Underground?" The young mercenary withdrew his gaze and looked at his feet.

Seeing the behavior of the young mercenary, the middle-aged mercenary couldn't help but smile: "Hey~ I'm just talking casually, you don't really think there's anything under your feet, right?" ”

"Uncle, what if there really is an enemy hiding underground?" The young mercenary looked serious.

"Oh~ David, don't scare yourself." The middle-aged mercenary couldn't help but laugh, "If there are really monsters hiding underground, we will stomp on them twice and trample them to death." ”

As soon as the middle-aged mercenary's voice fell, the earth suddenly shook, and then a monster three or four meters thick suddenly came out of the ground and swallowed a carriage worm pulling a carriage in one gulp!

It was a huge serpentine monster, looking like an earthworm or python magnified many times, and covered with hard rock armor as hideous as armor, and its bloody mouth full of sharp teeth was like a black hole, and the carriage worm disappeared in an instant after being swallowed by it.

Looking at the monster that suddenly appeared, everyone was stunned, and the frightened carriage worm instantly curled up into a ball, and the shell of its body began to harden.

"Uncle, you said you were going to trample on it?" The young mercenary named David turned his head blankly and looked at the middle-aged mercenary beside him.

"Oh~ The gods are above! Now is not the time to laugh, take up arms! The middle-aged mercenary raised his shield and half-crouched while aiming his spear at the huge monster that suddenly appeared, "This is the Earth Dragon!" It's a real Warcraft! ”

As they spoke, the mercenaries jumped out of the carriage with their weapons in their hands and rushed towards the Earth Dragon.

The earth dragon didn't stop after swallowing a carriage worm, but pounced directly on the nearest mercenary!

"Get out of the way!" The middle-aged mercenary shouted angrily, waved the spear in his hand, and directly smashed the young mercenary who was still stunned and flew out, while dodging to the side himself.

"Boom! ~"The earth dragon smashed directly into the ground! The mud and rocks were scattered everywhere, and the flying mud and stones smashed the surrounding carriages like bullets, and also caused a lot of trouble for the mercenaries.

After that, the earth dragon did not stay, and went directly into the ground.

With a "boom" sound, the earth dragon disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The earth shook, and the sound from below made everyone understand that the earth dragon was not gone.

"It's an earth dragon! All combatants swap their weapons for weapons dedicated to large monsters! A dwarf who looked like a mercenary leader shouted angrily.

With the order of the dwarven mercenaries, some of the mercenaries who had taken the wrong weapons quickly returned to the carriage and exchanged their weapons for heavy swords, axes, spears and other weapons against large monsters.

Soon, the mercenaries who had changed their equipment gathered again and stared nervously at the ground.

In a carriage behind, a blonde girl with plump breasts held a black rabbit and watched with glowing eyes at the place where the earth dragon had disappeared.

"Dad, what is an earth dragon?" The blonde girl asked the black rabbit in her arms.

"A dangerous beast that lives deep underground, possessing hard rock armor comparable to metal and teeth enough to crush steel." The black rabbit who was deep between the girl's breasts slapped the meat balls that surrounded her, "Nana, lift me up a little higher, I can't see the outside." ”

"Oh~ Okay, Dad." The blonde girl lifted the black rabbit up.

Through the window of the carriage, Green finally saw the situation outside.

"Master, do you want me to help?" The winged girl in charge of driving the carriage turned her head and looked at the black rabbit in the carriage.

"There's no need for that." Green looked at the mercenaries who had changed into large weapons, "Leave this matter to the professionals." ”

Earth dragons do not have eyes and rely mainly on sounds and smells for location. The gathered mercenaries stood out in the eyes of the earth dragon like lights in the darkness.

Therefore, the earth dragon slowly approached the location of the mercenaries, and then ......

"It's coming! Dodge! With the order of the dwarven mercenaries, the mercenaries who were originally in a circle quickly dispersed!

At the same time, a bloody jaw rushed out of the ground and bit into the sky! But the mercenaries had long since dispersed, so the earth dragon didn't bite anything but a bite of the mud.

"It's now!" The dwarven mercenary roared in anger and swung his huge axe into the unsuspecting Earth Dragon!

"Bang! ~”

With the sound of broken stones, the rock armor on the earth dragon's body was smashed a lot, and the earth dragon also let out a painful sound.

The earth dragon was in pain and retracted directly into the ground.

"Very good, that's the rhythm!" The dwarven mercenary scanned the area with a giant axe, "It's just a thick-skinned sandworm!" This creature is food in the desert! If anyone gets hurt by the ingredients, go and help the chef tonight and learn how to deal with the food! ”

Hearing the leader's words, the mercenaries instantly laughed, and the atmosphere that was still a little tense was swept away!

Although the leader said it lightly, the battle was not easy at all. The hard carapace of the Earth Dragon is enough to render most attacks non-threatening, but if a mercenary gets bitten, it's a dead end!

As the battle continued, more and more carapaces were destroyed, revealing the gray skin inside, and in a counterattack, a middle-aged mercenary's spear successfully pierced the skin of the Earth Dragon!

Green blood splatters everywhere! The earth dragon let out a painful wail and retracted directly into the ground!

This time, the Earth Dragon never appeared again......

The mercenaries were on guard for a while, and were relieved to find that there was still no movement underground.

The dwarven mercenary carried the axe and looked at everyone: "Very good! Bunnies, it seems that no one is hurt. ”

"How was it like to fight for the first time?" A middle-aged mercenary reached out and patted his nephew on the shoulder.

The young mercenary smiled wryly: "I do everything. ”

The middle-aged mercenary laughed: "The first battle, as long as you can survive, you will be considered victorious." Looks like you're in luck! ”

On the carriage in the convoy, the black rabbit touched the beard on his mouth: "Not bad~ These mercenaries are very powerful." ”

Beladonna couldn't help but raise her mouth: "Dad, why is that big earthworm missing?" ”

"Escaped." The black rabbit jumped back into Beladona's chest, "Alright, I'll rest for a while." Call me again if you have something. ”

"Okay Dad~" Beladonna sat back in the chair with the black rabbit in her arms.
