A constant influx of refugees, adventurers, and mercenaries shatters the town's tranquility.

The locals, however, were busy packing up their belongings and heading to the city of Gurudin, and beyond, to escape the war.

The streets were clogged with people coming and going, the squares were in disarray, thieves and swindlers were alive and well, and the whole town was in chaos.

Guards in armor and weapons patrol around nervously, arresting people as soon as they notice disorderly behavior, throwing them into prison without any judicial process, and killing them on the spot if they resist.

Even so, the chaos continued into the evening, when the militia had settled the refugees and the displaced people had a place to stay, and the town slowly restored order.

The large army of Glesia was quickly assembled, and the adventurers could not do much in the face of a large army, but could only engage in sneak attacks and sabotage, and the army that had built positions in the field to block the attack was also defeated one after another, and did not buy much time for Gurudin's preparations.

Under the leadership of Barris, it took less than two days from the landing to the establishment of the forward base.

The camp was set up in a gentle valley between the villages of Banis and Gurudin, directly severing the connection between the two territories, with the back of Lake Pamir and the Laustern in front of him.

This forward base was like a nail firmly in Gurudin's throat.

As the emperor who unified the entire Grecia continent, Baris experienced in a hundred battles, so he naturally did not lack a brilliant strategic vision.

A large number of war materials have been continuously transported to Barnices, more and more mercenaries and adventurers have been integrated, and the Kadamus family, who have ruled the kingdom of Guruudin for hundreds of years, are also increasing their troops here, and the town is arming itself as fast as possible.

This is the first barrier in front of the army of Grecia, and it is also an important barrier for the city of Gurudin, and a fierce war is bound to break out.

The clouds of war loomed over Barnes, the atmosphere of the town was oppressive, and all the taverns were doing brisk business, and the noise almost toppled the roofs.

Taverns large and small were crowded with mercenaries and adventurers, as well as orcs and dark elves, and even magicians in robes.

Lords were recruiting in large numbers, and the wealthy and trading houses were hiring more guards, and although commissions were doubled, people with knives were in short supply.

Many of them had arrived from Dean, and it was said that word had reached the Strange Rock, and many of them had already left.

Mercenaries and adventurers are such a group of people, forever chasing war, like nomads who live in pursuit of water and grass.

The contract has been signed, the commission is very generous, and half of the deposit has gone into the pocket, and it is a tradition to enjoy it before the outbreak of the Great War.

They drank beer in whole glasses, ate meat in large chunks, spat on their adventures, and flirted with tavern hostesses.

There are also people talking about new weapons and equipment, and one lucky guy actually managed to strengthen a warhammer to level 7, and the light blue light shrouded the weapon, which was extremely eye-catching.

The owner of the warhammer is also a conspicuous fellow, strong as an upright giant bear, not far behind an adult orc, plus a shiny bald head, a horizontal face, looking very fierce, at this time squinting to enjoy the envious gaze of others.

Apart from the choking smell of tobacco, Cardina loved the atmosphere in the tavern, and in less than half an hour she had drunk five beers and eaten thirty rounds of roast lamb.

"The war is going to start tomorrow, I'm really looking forward to it!"

Draining the sixth beer in one gulp, she let out a long breath and slammed Mukai's glass with more than half of the beer left with her empty glass.

"Alas! Why are you always in a daze? ”

"Glesia's army will be outside the city tomorrow, isn't it appropriate to drink now?"

Barnes was destined to fall, but he had no ability to protect himself, and whether he could survive the war or not was entirely up to luck, and if he hadn't already had the experience of death, he might not have been able to face the predicament in front of him so calmly, or it would be more appropriate to call it a desperate situation.

"Hah! Rookie idea! ”

The young man sitting opposite shook his index finger at Mu Kai and said, "Look, who is drunk here?" ”

"It's an unwritten rule that the deposit is used to buy beer, and the balance is used to drink spirits!"

"As for wine, it's for the nobility and the sissy, hey! You wouldn't be interested in that, would you? ”

"Haha, Kai is just too nervous, for the first time! All rookies come over like this, don't worry, we'll take care of the newbies. ”

The people at the table were joking around him, but there was no contempt for him.

In the end, he embarked on the path of mercenaries.

There is no way to do this, and this is the only industry that can find a job in the war, and you can learn combat skills from the old mercenaries.

If you want to survive in this dangerous world, only strength is the most reliable guarantee.

Barnes currently has gathered dozens of large and small mercenary groups, and there are even famous large mercenary groups such as Black Lion and Iron Rose, but such mercenary groups have strict restrictions when recruiting members, at least in terms of combat effectiveness, Mu Kai is completely unqualified.

Cardina is very popular, although she has not yet been certified, her strength has actually reached the standard of employment, and she is considered the absolute main force in the mercenary group, and the female half-orc is only as old as a human girl, and there is still great potential.

There are many mercenary groups that are willing to recruit Mu Kai in order to keep Cardina, but Mu Kai refused without hesitation, and the only outcome of being recruited in this way is to be consumed as cannon fodder.

After a round around the town, the female orcs and Mu Kai joined the war mercenary group, one was established not long ago, only five members, and may be the smallest mercenary group on the continent of Aden.

Cardina said she liked the name War.

Orcs are a race that worships fire, they believe that they are creatures created by the fire god Pagorio, Cardina may have joined the war for this reason, but as Mu Kai understands the female orcs, he knows that she doesn't really care about what mercenary group she joins, and she doesn't plan to integrate into any human group, as long as she can fight, and at the same time there are gold coins to take.

The real reason was that she had invited him before, maybe it was just a boring casual talk at the time, but what the orcs said must count.

There were too many people in the tavern, a small square table of four people in the corner, but today there were seven people, all the members of the War Mercenary Regiment.

The short-haired young man who sat across from Mu Kai and liked to shake his fingers when he spoke was called Croun, the leader of this small mercenary group, who had just been certified as a fighter by the Warrior Guild.

On the left is Aggies, the most polite of them all, with a well-mannered look, on the right is a strong goth, and on the right is Buckley, who doesn't talk much, with brown hair and a cool look that hangs down from his forehead to cover one eye.

They come from different places and have different personalities, but they have one thing in common, and that is that they are all young.

Because he is young, he is full of dreams and passion, which is why Mu Kai chose to join the war.
