The sun is shining, the grass is green, and the north side of the hanging axe pass is a vast desert grassland.

Yi Hui and Xibei walked side by side on the grassland, and their walk away from the fortress was of course not just a walk, this was the task of the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment "Border Enemy Reconnaissance".

The task of enemy reconnaissance is of course the worst task, although in the current situation, the Hanseatic Empire and the Golden Horde are not in that state of life-and-death war, but on the long border between the two ** teams small friction still occurs from time to time. If you carry out this task, your personal safety will be more or less threatened.

But who called the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment just a second-level mercenary regiment with five members? A larger-scale mercenary group is a lot of them in the current Hanging Axe Pass Fortress, and the mercenary group with such a small number of members is really unique, in the mercenary world of heroes in terms of numbers, such a task is not done by them and who does it?

According to the information gathered in the mercenary circles in recent days, the envoys sent by the Hanseatic Empire are already on their way to the capital of the Golden Horde, Dome Hill, and the purpose of their visit is to see if they can resolve the border dispute through dialogue.

In previous years, there were similar cases of the Golden Horde incurring the northern frontiers of the Hanseatic Empire, and it was usually a gift from the envoys that led to years of peace.

Especially in recent years, the Golden Horde has had a relatively high number of invasions. Although it was the envoys who successfully completed the mission every time, exchanging gifts and contracts for a short period of peace, this false appearance of peace looked like a land reparation in Yi Hui's eyes.

Shibel's hometown is a small town on the border, and when she was still a girl, she even had to hold her bow and climb the tower to help defend the city, which shows how the Hanseatic Empire has been bullied by the Golden Horde.

In recent years, due to financial constraints, the empire has relied on the contract signed with the mercenary union since ancient times to recruit a large number of mercenaries to serve as city defense, and small mercenary groups such as the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment have been recruited, especially when it seems that the Hanseatic Empire's forces are short to the point of being stretched.

Yi Hui shook his head and put these messy thoughts aside for the time being, of course, national affairs should be thought about by the superiors, he himself is just a small mercenary, it would be good to be able to manage himself, he still can't think of these advanced questions.

Before leaving, Yi Hui had already quietly ** dozens of zombie rats to act as sentinels, and Yi Hui could predict any disturbances within a radius of at least one kilometer, and it would not be a problem to take Shibel to escape back to the Hanging Axe Pass at least.

Shibel's little hand was always pinched by Yi Hui, and the smooth and tender feeling made him feel itchy in his heart. Yi Hui has never been in love in the real sense before the crossing, and the general situation is that the final outcome is the failure of confession, and he can only bury himself in the game and be accompanied by the computer.

Shibel's initiative to show favor made Yi Hui taste the unprecedented sweetness and warmth, he didn't feel much when he was in the Iron Shield Mercenary Group before, and the reunion after a long time of separation saw the eighteen changes of the female college that happened to Xibei, Yi Hui always felt that a layer of window paper in his heart seemed to be poked open, and it was difficult to hold himself.

The two of them walked slowly on the grassland, and there was no sound except for the sound of the wind and the crisp sound of the elven longbow and quiver clash across Shibbel's chest.

Yi Hui could still feel the beating of his heart in his chest, and the slippery feeling coming from his palms was so real, and he turned his head to see Shibbel's slightly reddened side face, and the long eyelashes fluttering up and down with her big eyes.

"Where's the big girl......" Looking at the immature aura on Xibei's face that still hasn't been taken off, Yi Hui always feels like an old cow eating tender grass, he touches his face with his hand, and the feeling is still very delicate, Yi Hui thought to himself, "I'm only in my early twenties, and I'm not that old, right......"

Yi Hui's actions slowed down Xibei, she stopped and put her hands behind her back, looked at Yi Hui with her chest up, and said, "What's wrong with Brother Yi Hui?" Is there anything on your face, I'll look at ......."

Yi Hui remembered what he was thinking about just now, put his hand off his face in embarrassment, looked at the long grass in the distance that was blown a little downside by the breeze, and said with a dry smile: "It's nothing, it's just a little itchy when the blades of grass fly to your face." ”

"Oh, that's right." Shibel didn't ask any more, she unreservedly believed Yi Hui's words, and she trusted Yi Hui 100%.

Shibel looked at the sky, seeing that it was not very early, and said to Yi Hui: "Let's go back, it's already far away if we patrol here, if it gets dark, we won't go back to Occam, they will be worried." ”

"Okay, let's go back." Yi Hui replied happily.

Shiebel walked to the other side of Yi Hui and naturally took Yi Hui's hand again, as she walked, waving a thin branch she had just picked and sweeping the knee-high weeds.

"You know, when you weren't in the regiment, I often thought of you, always remembering the time when you rescued me from Garcia's house in the Silver Spring Valley." Shiebel said softly, "At that time, you had just come back from the outside experience, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do, in that small closed room, I can only see the outside through that small window, I can't sleep well every night, but fortunately you came." As he spoke, Shibel hugged Yi Hui's arm tightly.

Under Shibel's embrace, Yi Hui felt an indescribable soft feeling, under the effect of this crispy numbness, a circle of goosebumps spread from his arm to his face, and the breath exhaled from his nostrils was obviously a little hot, and the frequency was a little rapid: "This feeling, something is not good......

Suddenly, a tingling pain at the soul level brought Yi Hui back to his senses, his eyes widened, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and with a movement of his mind, the demon cut automatically appeared in his right hand surrounded by a blue light curtain.

"What's wrong? Brother Yi Hui? Sheebel was a little confused by Yi Hui's reaction, and she looked around but didn't know why Yi Hui had such a big reaction.

"Don't make a sound, a few people are coming towards us, I guess they are not good people. You find a place to hide, and I'll take a look. Yi Hui whispered to Shibel, and rushed out with an arrow as soon as he put her in a deep bush.

Shibel originally wanted to go with Yi Hui, and she also wanted to help, but remembering that Yi Hui had mentioned that girls who like to be obedient are better, it is better to hide in the grass obediently. "If it's Brother Yi Hui, there shouldn't be any problem, right?" The delicate elven longbow had been untied from her back and held in her hand, although she didn't have to fight with Yi Hui, but Shibel always felt at ease when the weapon was in her hand.

From the news from the zombie rats in the soul vision, Yi Hui learned that there were several people in ambush on their way back, and from the image, these people were dressed like the Golden Horde.

"If it's the people of the Golden Horde, why are they on our way home? How did you know we were going to pass this way? Yi Hui thought. Because it is a soul vision image from a zombie rat, it is still somewhat unintuitive, and Yi Hui is still not easy to speculate about who the other party is.

After thinking about it, Yi Hui smiled, "Wearing the clothes of the Golden Horde to walk around the border, after all, I am not here for an outing...... Either way, there's nothing wrong with solving it. With a cat's waist, Yi Hui touched all the way along the location indicated in the soul vision.

There were six lurkers dressed in the costumes of the Golden Horde, and they were crouching in the grass at the moment, one of them was digging through the grass and looking out into the trampled path, while the other five were lying on their stomachs in the grass. Their faces were covered with black coarse cloth masks, and the weapons in their hands were the crescent-shaped scimitars used by the nomads of the Golden Horde, and they each carried a bow and a pot of arrows on their backs, as if they were steppe horse thieves.

"I said, why haven't the little man and woman of the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment passed through here yet? Are you sure they haven't gone back? A masked man said to another person next to him.

"How is it possible, when we first came out, I inquired with the brothers at the gate, they didn't enter the fortress through that door at all, and if they were to come back, they would definitely pass through here. We're here waiting! They'll definitely be back. Another said.

"Do you still need six of us to deal with these two of them? And dressed up like this, I was suffocated by this heavy robe, a fourth-level archer and a fifth-level thief, with the strength of our few people, it would be dealt with in minutes. Why bother? One of the six pulled out half of the saber, looked at the blade and quickly retracted it, making a "clang" sound.

"Don't be careless, although the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment is a small mercenary group, it is said that none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, you all know the fighting king of Jinli, Occam's big guy can be the head of the regiment, it means that he is more powerful, it is estimated that the one called Scott is not easy to deal with, and this female archer is the weakest one among them, the young thief who just came I didn't inquire into the details, it's hard to say for the time being, but it looks like that young should be easier to deal with than Scott. Therefore, if you find this group of people, the success rate will be greater, but everything is safe, in case one of them escapes, we can pass on the responsibility to the side of the Golden Horde, even if the other party recognizes us, then we have no choice. The masked man who answered the question said triumphantly.

Before he could laugh, a rapid explosion sounded, and the rest of the masked people were surprised to find that the heads of their companions, who had just been analyzing the opponent's combat strength, suddenly exploded into a pile at some point.

Yi Hui finished fighting, put the musket into the ornament and replaced it with the sword of Dolan, and appeared in front of the five masked people with the weapon in both hands and pointing diagonally at the ground.

"Whether you are from the Golden Horde or something else, if you dare to fight our idea, then you should be killed!" Yi Hui looked at the five people opposite who were at a loss due to the sudden change, grinned lightly, and said. (To be continued.) )
