Chapter 40: Yana (3)

"Haynes, it's really beautiful."

Yana looked at the rough stone walls and dim lights all around, everything here was different from her hometown.

"My mother runs a small family gallery there, it's not very small, the first floor is where the exhibits are placed, our whole family lives on the second floor, the gallery door is a beautiful arched bridge, and there is a delicate balcony at the back, my mother always sets up an easel on the balcony and teaches me and my brother to sketch and paint, every time she I will praise me for being better than my brother's painting. As for my father, he would often take us to the beach to fish and teach us martial arts, and he was a powerful Silver Moon Ranger. ”

Yana spoke as if she were talking, and the spicy mercenary had a rare sad look on her face, and the dwarf sat on the sidelines, listening quietly.

"My mother is a gentle and beautiful woman, she knows how to take care of her skin very well, but this does not prevent her from getting older day by day, until one day, when her father combed her hair, she saw the two people in the mirror, and suddenly found that they were no longer a good match, time seemed to stop in my father's body, and it was always the way they met, although my mother was still very beautiful, even more charming and moving than when she was young, but when the two of them were together, Whoever sees it can't ignore that gap. ”

Yana sighed and gently stroked Sarin's soft orange hair, and this time, the female dwarf seemed to be fascinated by the story and did not protest.

"Mother's personality slowly changed, sometimes irritable, sometimes melancholy, she loved her father deeply, but his father also made her feel pain, in order not to let her be stimulated, he had to leave us."

The dwarf rested his elbows on the table with his hands on his cheeks, and his big watery eyes revealed sadness that did not match his appearance.

"What about romantic love, it's just a little sad, your mother, is she okay now?"

Yana shook her head and sighed again.

"She misses her father very much, so my brother and I decided to go out and maybe we can meet him, and maybe, one day he will come to us when he hears our names."

The dwarf clenched his fist and made an encouraging gesture.

"Come on, Yana, make sure your name spreads throughout the continent."

Yana looked at Mu Kai who was in a daze on the side, and thought to herself, with this guy, this day should not be too far away.

Beige and fiery red are matched together, the soft and tough thorntail skin is cut to a perfect fit, which sets off the figure of the female half-elf more prominently, and her delicate and lovely appearance, and the long golden hair flying in the wind, make her as dazzling as a flame.

The young mercenaries who have just joined always can't help but sneak a glance, and if someone finds out, they will bow their heads red-faced, causing a burst of laughter.

The spicy mercenary didn't care about this, and still walked in front of the team in high spirits, she was now the captain of the war mercenary group, leading ten mercenaries.

The current war mercenary group, with nearly a hundred members, is divided into several ten-person squads in order to facilitate management and combat, in addition to Yana, Crowne, Yari, Goth, Walter, Agis, Gogo, Dolma, Charles, each led a team.

The female mercenary Dolma is a warm-hearted eldest sister, and despite her lack of strength, the mercenaries unanimously support her as the captain.

Charles is a taciturn middle-aged man, the small mercenary group he set up has been active in Gurudin for more than ten years, although it has not been big, but the reputation accumulated is quite good, and now it is merged into the war, and there is naturally no objection to being a captain.

After the formation, the remaining Kaizhe, Cardina, Grizzly, Salene, and Luna, who either have a special status or are difficult to manage, are directly commanded by Mu Kai.

Leopold had no companions, as Mukai had expected, and the Black Lions' mercenaries were in charge of one of their captains.

Quinn led the Golden Cup mercenary group to follow, and behind them, there was a mercenary team of about forty people, which was composed of two or three other mercenary groups.

The caravan at the Iron Gate was at the end of the line, still managed by Norman, and there were more than twenty carriages, more than when they came, and it seemed that the old dwarf Ricardio was no longer so worried about the safety of the road.

Even though escorting the caravan was only an incidental task, Mu Kai promised to give sixty percent of the commission to several other mercenary groups.

No matter how generous the commission is, it won't be much if so many people share it, and this is just a way for Mukai to show his attitude, and Leopold and Quinn are happy with it.

A group of adventurers followed, close to the large army in front of them.

For a mission like this, adventurers will not cooperate with the mercenary group, let alone accept command.

If there is an opportunity, they will take the opportunity to pick up some bargains, harvest some heads and go back to receive the reward, and if the situation is not good, they will slip away as soon as possible.

This situation is the norm in this industry, everyone is not surprised, of course, there are many times, mercenary groups and adventurers will also have disputes because of this, but generally no one will be killed.

This time, the mercenaries are not manpowered, so they are still welcome to those adventurers, anyway, they are also a group of powerful guys, and they can always consume some of the strength of the gnolls.

The vast team walked all the way with great ease, and as long as they did not encounter large orcs and lizardmen, such a team did not have to worry about scavengers and monsters on both sides of the road.

After passing through Barnices' territory, the mercenaries became cautious, and a few kilometers away from the Jackal Barracks, they chose a suitable place to camp and stopped to set up camp.

Yana leads people to scout the enemy, and Gogo and Walter go to find the mercenary group from the village of Gurudin, and Mukai concludes that they are nearby and have already fought the Jackals.

About two hours later, Yana returned, and the news she brought back confirmed that there had been another battle in the jackal camp, and that when it was almost dark, Gogo and Walter had returned, followed by two men and one woman, and three mercenaries.

The three of them were all known to Croun, who had drunk together in the tavern of the village of Grudin, and the young man with a broad spear was named Jobon, the muscular and plump woman was Betty, and there was a thin middle-aged man named Heber.

These three people are all the leaders of the mercenary group, and the thin middle-aged man among them, he used to lead a medium-sized mercenary group with good strength, and after several major battles, he has suffered heavy losses, and he has not yet recovered his breath.

After greeting each other, Clouen asked directly, "Have you fought with the gnolls?" What's the situation? ”
