Nangong Sima was a little busy.

His plan was to recruit 20 mercenaries, and the 20 spearmen provided by the army to him, and he wanted to give these 40 absolute main force the best equipment and the best potions.

Because only these main forces are the strength to resist the unknown monsters. In the boundless forest without assistance, if these main forces are killed or wounded, it means the failure of the operation.

I don't know what a monster is, so I can't make a corresponding target, so I have to passively improve my defense and survivability.

And improving defense can be done by opening holes, inlays, and enchanting equipment. The only way to improve survivability is to rely on potions with excellent attributes.

Unfortunately, the enchantment runes and potions had to be made by Nangong Sima himself, because only he could make a product with lucky attributes.

He drew 2 people from the equipment group and specialized in making blank runes, opening holes, and inlaying gems. Enchanting and crafting potions was the only one who came.

The mercenaries are all old friends, and when they hear that he is going to form mercenaries to open up a new place, old friends are here. After the recruitment, I found that there were more than 20 people, and there was no way to dismiss anyone, so I simply had a team of more than 20 people.

The recruited warriors include the rampaging Zhang Fei, the left face Scar, and the Supreme Worry-free, vegetarian hunter introduced by Scar. The vegan hunter's name sounds like a hunter, but she's actually a female warrior. The rampaging Zhang Fei also brought a female warrior, called the dream of memory.

Priest 2, big rooster, nine-three-one. Among them, 931 is a friend of Coco. Kneel and beg for a hundred black! Cliff! Your Excellency

2 assassins, a wolf with a wind and dawn, and a sterling silver dagger.

There are 5 mages, fly cocoa, pass by with a knife, the iron will three are the fire method, and the wind chaser is the ice method. The great god brought a friend of the electric law, called Yi Xuan.

The most hunters are 7. In addition to the great god I knew, Ming broke the snow, and cut the frost, the other 4 were introduced by the alpaca in my heart. Fruit Man is an archer, an ethereal man, at that time he was a male hunter, and Jing Chanxue was a female hunter.

It took Nangong Sima half a day to get these people plus the equipment and potions of 20 NPC warriors. These potions are only guaranteed to be used in two or three encounters, and the deeper you go into the forest, you need to collect them on the spot and refine them on the spot.

In this way, these things have spent all of Nangong Sima's belongings, including the 2,000 gold earned by taking the two orders of eating Bunny and Sweet Dream, the gems he stored and the gems collected by Qian Liu.

But fortunately, although he was busy and tired, Nangong Sima's alchemy skills were upgraded to level 5, and the mosaic skills and enchantment skills were both upgraded to level 2.

Zhao Xiaomei wanted to come over, but was rejected by Nangong Sima. After all, this is a task with the military department, not between players, not so casually coming and going, and there is still something to be busy on the Friday guild's side.

By the time he was done here, the legion commander Hesg had already arranged the army's men and supplies.

20 freshly equipped spearmen, led by leader Gilliam.

1 draftsman, Imi. Responsible for surveying routes, maps, tree distribution, etc.

1 liaison officer, responsible for recording what is seen and heard, sending and receiving messages, carrying 20 loyal and reliable carrier pigeons.

3 handymen, 3 horse-drawn carts, loaded with as many supplies as they needed on the road.

When Hesge handed these people over to Nangong Sima, most of the people in the barracks were watching. I don't know if they laughed at the group of people who went to die, or cheered for their courage, their eyes were strange.

Mi Wei said a lot of whispers to Yi Mi, making Nangong Sima suspect that this Yi Mi might be some of Mi Wei's relatives. Since you know that you may be sent to death, how dare you send your relatives out?

Finally, the team set off with a short speech of comfort and encouragement from Hesg and headed out towards the great forest of Sensen. The onlookers, who were professional soldiers, watched their teammates and this group of strangers, and sent their blessings with silence.

Quiet in the forest.

The trees range from towering to low, uneven. Sunlight shines from the forest through the lush foliage and falls on the ground and plants.

Most trees are wide from tree to tree, but some trees prefer to grow next to each other. Maybe they are play partners who grew up together, and they should stand side by side when they grow up.

Nangong Sima's mercenaries walked on the left, and the 20-man spearmen led by Gilliam walked on the right. It should be a long march, so the team should spread out and march appropriately, neither fast nor slow.

Nangong Sima, draftsman Yimi, and liaison Smith walked in the middle. Imi's immediately dragged the inkwell he had used for drawing, a spare pen, and a large number of rolls of paper, a sleeping bag, and something.

Smith's horse, each carrying an iron cage containing 20 well-trained pigeons.

Nangong Sima doesn't have to lead the horse, he doesn't have anything, but he is precisely the person with the most responsibility and pressure, and he has everyone's lives on his shoulders and the key to the success or failure of this incident.

Behind them were three packmen leading three horses, and they were dragging everyone's food and water, as well as tents and other items necessary for the night.

The two assassins, Fengxiao Remnant Wolf and Sterling Silver Dagger, were sent out by Nangong Sima to reconnoiter the news, and they had already penetrated into the forest in front. At the back of the line were hunters, ethereal men, in charge of the guard.

Before leaving, Nangong Sima obtained two compasses from Gilliam from General Urisu, one for each of them, and in the future, he would be able to grasp the direction in the vast forest like an endless reference object.

The team walked silently, and it was not known how long it would take, and the players were silent because the forest was full of novelty and mystery to them, and they were admiring it as they went.

The soldiers were silent because they were accustomed to such marches, and they often saw the soldiers of the patrol wounded or dead being carried out of the woods, and they did not think much about the fate of obedience, but they still remembered it occasionally.

"My lord, did you lead troops to war before?" Yimi asked Nangong Sima excitedly.

Nangong Sima was not used to the title of "adult", and said with a smile: "What, do you think I look like an unrestrained person?" ”

"No, no!" Imy laughed and said, "I'm just curious about where you got the courage to take people to explore the dangerous area." ”

Smith laughed and said, "My lord must be so brave and fearless, you must have thought of something like you!" ”

Nangong Sima said: "Actually, you are half right, I have a plan, I also have this fighting spirit, the most important thing is that I promised the city lord to bring as many soldiers home as possible safely." However, at the current pace, less than half of the mining will be almost everyone's injury. This is the last thing I want to see, so I'm going to go to the field and see if the plan of the military department works! ”

Imy asked, "What if the hill is not suitable for building a fortress, but the order of the military headquarters is ......"

"Then I should do my best to stop and suggest that the military department reformulate the plan, so that the blood of my brothers will not be shed in vain!"

Yimi's voice was a little excited, and he said, "My lord, I support you!" Follow you! ”

Smith said, "Your Excellency is the first wise officer I've ever met in the military!" I'll be following you in the future! ”

Nangong Sima sighed and said, "The plan is the plan, we have to do our job well, you have to draw the terrain here, record the species of flora and fauna here, and get in touch with the legion commander on time." Even if we have any new plans, we have to show the evidence and facts that your work is related to the welfare of the entire Legionnaires, understand? ”

"Understood!"

"We're going to do a good job!"

When the two of them heard Nangong Sima say this, they immediately felt that their duties were very important, and they were related to the welfare of the whole legion, and they immediately attached importance to it psychologically.

Nangong Sima smiled, patted them on the shoulder, and motioned for them to cheer up. He took a few steps slower and circled around the line on the right.

Seeing Nangong Sima coming over, Captain Gilliam greeted him.

He was a young man with a beard, and it was this beard that made him look strange but heroic. Like this group of soldiers, he carried a large shield, a saber at his waist, and a spear in his hand. ”

Nangong Sima nodded and walked side by side with him. "How's the mood of the team?"

Gilliam glanced at the team and said, "They know it's a long march, so they're prepared. ”

Nangong Sima said: "I am really honored to have such an experienced captain as you to lead the team, tell the brothers, don't save the medicine, because we don't know what danger we will encounter later, in the front, we must maintain good combat effectiveness, don't let yourself suffer because of saving the medicine, this is not allowed!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Breathing a sigh of relief, Nangong Sima said, "I will collect and refine the medicine at any time, you don't have to worry about this." In addition, you are well-trained, and in the event of an emergency, you have full authority to deal with crisis events, so as not to affect the battle because of our reactions. We will protect the horses and people as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, sir. We're prepared. ”

"That's good, take care of the brothers, and come to me anytime if you have something." Nangong Sima looked at these soldiers again, although they were all silent, they were indeed full of energy, powerful steps, and neatly equipped, and he couldn't help but applaud in his heart.

Nangong Sima returned to the team on the left, and looked at it as he walked, everyone was still in good spirits, it was about the first time to enter such a large forest, and they were still very curious.

Walking forward unconsciously, the forests on all sides gradually became the same, and it was impossible to distinguish the time and direction, and it was estimated that everyone had been walking for more than half a day.

Toot toot toot! Suddenly, Nangong Sima's message machine vibrate.

Sterling Silver Dagger: Spot a swarm of jungle pythons, 500 meters.

Nangong Sima shouted: "Stop!" Stay in place! ”

The team immediately stopped, and Yimi and Smith hurriedly pulled their horses and stayed with the three packers.

The 20 spearmen immediately lined up in formation, while the players stood still.

Nangong Sima shouted: "Scar! Gilliam, follow me, Zhang Fei and his brothers will protect the safety of the horses! ”

The scar on the left side of his face smiled, and with the knife and Gilliam, he chased Nangong Sima to the forest in front.
