Chapter 52: Death Hugs
Sweetwater Village, thirty miles away from Wuyun Town.
A mercenary team called [Death Hug] is doing a regular rest here.
The so-called mercenaries are very different from the adventurers that the world knows.
Adventurers focus on exploration, undertaking personal or personal missions, delving into dangerous areas to find rare treasures or kill a monster that has caused a bad cause.
Mercenaries, on the other hand, are full-time soldiers, a kind of supernumerary troops, who accept power or official tasks to carry out large-scale fights.
The two may have some occasional interactions, but they belong to two different groups.
The inhabitants of the village were apparently very afraid of the mercenaries compared to the adventurers, and after fulfilling their demands, they hid in their houses one by one, expecting them to leave quickly.
Death Hug, a mercenary who is quite famous in Beishan City, came here this time to prepare in advance for the task of suppressing bandits.
It's just that this is just a rhetoric on the surface, and their real purpose is to infiltrate Dark Cloud Town, kill an extremely rich woman, and plunder her wealth.
Captain Ke Xinhua, a level 23 berserker.
Vice-Captain Leah, a level 21 marksman.
Mage Moria, level 15.
Sword and Shield Knight Whistle, Level 16.
and the last Scout Poplar, a level 15 thief.
This is an extremely complete squad, and together they can entangle even a level 30 enemy for a long time.
"Poplar, is that one here?"
This refers to the level 30 thief hired by the Death Hug Squad, a depraved professional who has a bad reputation and is rumored to like black and black.
But this can't be helped, when the death hug team has to do it, but it is contrary to the mainstream of this world, as a mercenary, if you want to do the business of robbing houses, you will be wanted by many guilds.
It is only these depraved professionals who are not welcomed by all guilds that will accept his commission.
"I should have arrived, I saw the shadow leopard when I was far away just now."
Poplar whispered, with deep envy in his tone.
A mount is an ability that can be possessed by all classes after reaching level 30.
This kind of mount function that opens at level 30 is completely different from those that are just horseback riding, and mounts that are opened at level 30 can directly symbiosis with the mount, gaining the power of the mount and forming a deeper level of strengthening.
Some people believe that only those who have reached this level of professionalism can truly be regarded as professionals.
"Since you're here, then don't worry too much, even if that woman is very strong, but under the assassination of a level 30 thief, she will definitely not be pleased."
Ke Xinhua said with a smile, he knew that everyone in the team was worried about whether to lure the wolf into the room, but there was no need to worry about it at all.
He snapped his fingers to attract the attention of the team: "If you have rested, you can go straight to the road, you don't need to have any scruples when you get to Dark Cloud Town, just kill it." ”
"That's right, if you're well rested, let's hit the road."
A melodious voice came from a distance, making the faces of several members of the Death Hugging Team suddenly gloomy.
Ke Xinhua, the captain, said that the road was just a departure, but the meaning of the voice in the distance was malicious to the extreme.
Everyone glared angrily, but found that it was only two young girls standing at the entrance of the village.
"It's her!" Ke Xinhua's pupils shrank, he saw the woman who was big in Yangyun Pavilion, they originally wanted to kill her and rob her, but they didn't expect that she would bring someone over.
The point is, how do they know what they and others think?
You know, they just discussed a few words secretly, and there was no change in all actions on weekdays, and they even took over the task of suppressing bandits from a nobleman in Beishan City.
So...... Did someone leak the news?
But who could it be? The people in the team are all by his side, and it is impossible to have a chance to send the news away, then there will be only one suspect.
That level 30 thief, Oliver!
Damn it, the person who was supposed to be a killer was going to become his own enemy.
Ke Xinhua's heart was full of depression.
But just as he was about to find a way to solve the situation in front of him, a figure appeared behind him, it was the level 30 thief Oliver, and he said gloomily, "It seems that the matter has been revealed, and your plan is really too loose." ”
"Well, didn't you leak it?" Ke Xinhua's heart was shocked, listening to this tone, it seems that it was not this thief who leaked information, so where did the other party get the news?
With such a question, Ke Xinhua shouted at Lola: "Everyone, I don't know what you want to do, we just took the task and are going to Chang'an Mountain to suppress the mercenaries of the bandits." ”
"Alright, don't lie." Laura took a step forward and said coldly, "Aren't you here because of my money?" What else to pack! Your Excellency has told us all your identities and information, so let's send you on your way. ”
"Guys, this is definitely a misunderstanding!" Ke Xinhua continued to defend, "You say, who is framing us?" We are Baron Qiao Zi'an's subordinates, and we are famous nobles! ”
"Death hug, captain Ke Xinhua, vice captain Leah, scout poplar ......" Lola nodded over one by one, and every time she said a name, Ke Xinhua and the others looked ugly.
Obviously, the other party does know the identity of the others and will never make any mistakes.
Knowing that in the end, Laura pointed to the level 30 thief: "And one more Oliver, a fallen professional!" The adults said, all have to go on the road! ”
In an instant, the faces of everyone present changed, and the Death Hug Team did not expect that even Oliver would be included in the range of their attack.
This is a level 30 thief, even if it is just a fallen professional, it is no worse than those masters!
"Good, good, ambitious!"
Oliver sneered, "I want to see how you two little girls get us on our way!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, a beam of arrows flashed, piercing his chest directly, lifting him high and slamming him into the stone wall in the distance.
The roar exploded, and a large hole was opened in Oliver's body, blood and flesh were spilled everywhere, and a level 30 thief died here before he could even finish his sentence.
Seeing the strongest level 30 thieves on their side die so easily, the mercenaries of the Death Hug Squad all felt a twitch in the corners of their eyes, and their hearts were filled with despair and fear.
The other party has made it clear that they are here to kill them, so even if they surrender, they will not escape death.
"Damn it, I just wanted to use it against that Oliver."
Suddenly, just when everyone thought that the overall situation had been decided, Ke Xinhua sighed faintly and stood up to face Laura and Keren: "Do you know why I call my mercenary team a death hug?" ”
Before Laura could reply, he stretched out his finger, and a huge jewel ring shone brightly on it: "Come on, try the power from the strange thing [Death Embrace]!" ”
