"That's what he said?"

Although the Grey Wolf Mercenary Regiment was attacked by night, they had to abandon their camp and retreat south under the constant flow of Black Fire cultists and hostile mercenaries pouring out of the darkness. However, Makaro the Maned Wolf is still in danger, calmly directing the retreat, and can also integrate his own people on the way to re-establish his combat effectiveness. With this alone, he can be called a generation of famous players in this era.

One by one in the forest

As usual, he wore a fiery red uniform—the same uniform used for the Praetorian Guard cavalry of the time of the previous kings, and Macaro had been the captain of the Praetorian Guards, a suit that has been his emblem ever since—except that after he left the army because of persecution, the epaulettes, ribbons, and insignia were no longer visible in the uniform.

He pressed his own sword, the commander-only type of the Type 35 cavalry sword, which was the most popular weapon for level 30-40 swordsmen in the past games, of course, not to say how strong it was, but often the popular weapons to meet a little bit must be very cost-effective. This kind of sword can be said to be about level 30 brass, the best attribute among the magic swords with the following labels, and there are enough of them in circulation on the market, so it is all the rage.

However, at this moment, Makaro did not look worried because of the attack of a strong enemy, on the contrary, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and the expression on his face was good. Cabot is there to protect him, and you can rest assured. ”

Buga listened to it without saying a word, but the tall swordsman was stunned, and suddenly raised his head towards the forest on the side, and a blinding flash of light immediately appeared in that direction, and then a deafening roar came from behind the forest. The faces of the people present changed, and as soon as Reddy was about to say something, someone among the mercenaries exclaimed:

"The seventh string, the sound of thunder!"

"Akane is in trouble!"

Bugabi took off the giant sword behind his back with a bang, but he immediately let go of his hand and stared in that direction with a solemn face: "The battle is over." ”

"Akane she ......" Yura's face turned pale.

"I'm going to save her!" Reddy seemed to react at this point, and immediately drew his sword and wanted to rush out in that direction. But Macaro grabbed him by the shoulder, leaving the young man immobilized.

"Stop."

"Commander......?"

Makaro didn't say a word, but for the first time frowned and looked at the forest in that direction with a solemn face, and within a moment, a shadowy figure appeared in the woods. One or two more screams rang out in the distance, like a human or some other beast, and the mercenaries at the edge of the forest quickly gasped and retreated.

Because of the south, the forests in the southwest suddenly appeared densely talked, but it was always difficult for people to suppress their curiosity. However, he was not shocked by Makaro, who stretched out a hand to stop Buga, and said at the same time: "I didn't expect the 'Solitaire' mercenary group to be mixed with the notorious tree herdsman, it must not be good to spread out?" ”

Silence fell in the forest.

There are many people who know about the Black Fire Cultists, but there are not many people who know that the Black Fire Cultists are connected to the Shepherds. The young man named Conrad obviously didn't expect Macaro to know so much, and he paused for a moment before he reopened his mouth and sneered: "It's worthy of the cunning fox of the past, and he knows a lot." ”

Really.

Macaro frowned, in fact he was also confirming Brando's words. However, he was not worried about the impact on morale, mercenaries were different from most regular soldiers, they were originally a group of outlaws, and they often did not value life and death as much as ordinary people. Because of this, skilled mercenaries, although often inferior to the regular army in terms of personal strength, equipment, and discipline, are still a formidable force.

"All right, Mr. Macarro." Conrad smiled again and said, "Actually, I came to confirm with you that the only son of Grand Duke Lune is with you now?" ”

The members of the gray wolf mercenary field were stunned again, and they couldn't help but look at their regiment commander one by one, how to pull out another duke. It was an unattainable figure in their eyes.

Macarol laughed: "Joke, I don't understand what you're saying at all." And even if you know, do you think that as the two sides of the enemy race, I am obliged to answer any questions you have? He couldn't help but scoff.

But that pound in the forest. The young man shook his head: "That's not what you said, can you bear to watch so many old subordinates who have been with you for more than ten years die here like this?" But he immediately nodded again: "That's right, after all, compared to your original identity, they are nothing." For the sake of your mission, it is also the right thing to abandon these cannon fodder. ”

Buga snorted.

"Alright, Conrad. We're all mercenaries, do you think these provocative words can have any effect on our mercenaries? Macaro shook his head: "It's better that you have any skills, take it out and give it a try." For our profession, the worst is a dead word, and it is nothing. ”

iManed wolf, the words caused a low laugh among the mercenaries, it is precisely because of this, people of their kind have long seen life and death, and it seems to them that Conrad has to lobby for a long time before starting a war like this, which is an extremely ridiculous thing in their opinion. Mercenaries have the rules of mercenary behavior, and their roots of loyalty to a group are very different from those of regular soldiers, so the other party's sowing of discord seems to them to be ridiculous.

As if to represent what they were thinking, the mercenaries drew their swords and prepared for battle, and the sound of metal intertwining immediately resounded in the forest.

On the other side, between the dark woodlands that obscure the starlight.

"Damn old thing," the young man named Conrad cursed with a gloomy face, he glanced at the red-haired girl who was lying at his feet, covered in bruises and dying, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "Makaro, this old fox, is really not easy to deal with. It's a pity that our target is not him, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to talk so much nonsense with this die-hard faction of the royal party. ”

"Actually, I know that the other party won't say it, so it's better to kill it directly." A man beside the young man, shrouded in black robes, spoke in a deep voice, and when he raised his hand, he could see two red edges on the cuffs. If Brando saw this characteristic here, he would probably immediately turn around and lose his mind, this is the low-level priest of the Black Fire Cultist, and compared to the high-level disciples, he is more than a grade stronger.

"It could have been. However, there are still two teams of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group whose whereabouts are unknown, and they should not be taken lightly, and this guy is known for his cunning. The young man said with a gloomy face, and he tapped the trunk of the tree beside him: "This guy left a group of people in Chablis Town, and the young man named Eco, the play is as if it were real, but no matter how I think about it, it is used to divert our Black Fire cultists, and when they advance, their feet and heavy chains on their hands rub against the ground, sweep over the bushes, and make a tinkling sound, which is particularly strange in the forest that seems quiet at this time.

The north side is just a feint, and the enemy is ambushed in the south side of the x

This clear thought flashed through everyone's minds at the moment, but unfortunately it seemed to be too late to react. The two detachments, Akane and Lorore, had clearly suffered defeat, but the mercenaries did not have time to grieve the loss of their companions, as they were now in the same danger themselves. These are all experienced fighters, and at a glance it is clear that the opponent is at least three times more than his own.

Reddy swallowed, although he was not afraid of death, he still felt suffocated in the face of such a situation

And Yura, who was on the side, couldn't see it, but she also understood how dangerous the situation was.

"Conrad."

Buga spoke, his voice low and powerful.

"Oh?" The forest towel immediately responded with a flirtatious voice, which was still a young man: "You know me, Mr. Buga, but should I call you the Crosshand Buga, or should I call you Duke Lantoniland or the captain of the guard of the Grand Duke of Lune?" ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the members of the gray wolf mercenary group couldn't help but be stunned, and looked back at their deputy head with a surprised gaze, although they didn't believe in each other's attention in their hearts. ”

"It's not necessarily true that the fake show is actually done." The Black Fire Cultist replied.

"Don't worry, for the sake of insurance, I still left a golden intermediate swordsman over there, although that Cabot hides his strength, his true level is no more than that." "Then what else do you have to worry about, Mr. Emissary?"

Conrad snorted contemptuously, crouched down and grabbed the girl's long, light red hair, and pulled her head up.

Blood immediately flowed down her cheeks from the girl's white forehead, and Akane snorted softly in pain, her eyes half-squinted with blood, as if she wanted to see who was in front of her, but as soon as the young man exerted her strength, she immediately curled up her whole body in pain.

"Woo one by one"

The young man sneered: "Of course, it is another group of people who are trapped and lost by the gray wolf mercenaries, although it is said that the team of twelve mercenaries, a young man who claims to be a businessman, and two women, have joined the gray wolf mercenary group halfway." But this kind of Cheng Dù's lie, how can I believe that Makaro must have arranged it a long time ago, but I can't pry his mouth open, and he can't guarantee that everyone in this mercenary group will be tough with him. ”

"Yes," he asked, looking at the dying girl, "little girl." ”

Akane seemed to realize her situation at this point, and she gritted her teeth and turned her head to the side. It's calm. It was only when he heard Yura's words that he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

Seeing Juralu nodding, Macaro turned back and asked Buga, "To the east, it seems that the young man named Brando is confident." Shall we keep up? ”

"Wait," Reddy hurriedly interrupted him—although the white-haired young man was a member of the mercenary group, he had a much higher degree of freedom than the others. Otherwise, ordinary people would not dare to interject like this: "Commander, our opponent is a shepherd!" Don't we retreat first and then seek a more thoughtful plan? I think they must have come prepared for such a big fanfare, and it would be in line with each other's wishes for us to stay here and fight them. ”

His words were hurried and rushed, but both Macaro and Buga were accustomed to the young man's personality and therefore did not care. However, Reddy immediately remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, Eco is still in the town, will he be unsafe?" ”

Macaro looked at this frightened, and the young man glanced at it, and nodded: "You are right, Reddy, but no one can guarantee that the gray wolf mercenary group will be safe if they withdraw to Chablis." He saw Yura lower her head, knowing that the girl was worried about her sweetheart, and sighed: "In fact, the deputy head and I have long expected that Conrad may not be so simple, but since we dare to bring him here, we are also prepared." Eco...... I don't know what he found, but he stayed in Town Z
