Chapter 298: Storm Mercenary Group
A group of people found an alley, closed the curtain and quickly changed their equipment. Several men have transformed into men who only wear simple armor and show off large muscles, and the three girls are also heroic, and the perfect body shape of the trialist is fully revealed.
Luo Han looked at it, and he and the shadow and the nightmare belonged to the lean type, and the streamlined muscles were well-proportioned and restrained. And the mad dragon and Zhao Qian are completely muscular, the simple breastplate is pushed high by the strong pectoral muscles, the eight-pack abdominal muscles are angular, and the thick biceps can almost stand up to an adult. Meng Fei and Liunian are somewhere in between, with the Supplemental Strength Meng Fei leaning towards muscles, while the Supplemental Agility Flowing Nian Line is better. There is no need to mention the girls, they are all goddesses, nothing more than the difference between Athena and Venus.
Such a team of people looks good, but Luo Han frowned, thought about it, took out a bunch of props from his watch, glued a beard to himself, and then put a scar on his face, and said as he did it: "Let's deal with it, those who can come here from the East to be mercenaries, one by one, are like models, like words?" ”
When everyone saw it, they were also dumbfounded, it was indeed too good-looking and troublesome, and they were also looking for various props to dress up at the moment. But the man said that if he got a little beard, put a few scars and a few moles, and messed up his hair, he could make a big difference, but the three girls couldn't do it.
"Captain, can you not get it? Ugly is dead. "Xiao Yumeng has a good relationship and deep qualifications.
Luo Han thought for a while and said, "It's okay, wear a veil." Let's just say that you are my uncle, my daughter-in-law who abducted from the Middle East. ”
"Phew!" Xiao Yumeng took a sip, thought about it, and took out a white veil to put it on. "Be careful, I asked Sister Lan to buy you durian."
Linghu Yulan and Lin Ya also took out their veils and put them on. A group of people swaggered towards the place Zhao Qian said, but saw that several carriages had begun to move, and more than a dozen poorly equipped mercenaries were guarding the left and right, walking towards the outside of the city.
Zhao Qian patted his head: "Oh no, we're late." ”
Luo Han's mind turned sharply, pulled the shadow and Liu Nian to say a few words, and the two left quickly. Luo Han led the others around the horse market, bought ten horses, and then left the city in the direction of the caravan.
The caravan left the city and marched along the main road to the next city. Along the way, the mercenaries followed behind the carriage and chased it in great stride. A forest appeared ahead, the caravan slowed down, and three mercenaries crossed the caravan and entered the woods first. They were to find out if there was an ambush in the woods, which was one of the few jobs they could do other than do chores.
The three mercenaries didn't care very much, they had taken this route many times, and there were no robbers entrenched in the vicinity, nor powerful demonic beasts, and this kind of exploration was more often just a show. In order to show their conscientious and responsible attitude, the three mercenaries stopped in the woods where the outside world could not see, chatted about the sky and bragged, and rubbed the time.
At this time, the soil under the feet of a mercenary suddenly quietly diffused a transparent stream of water, in the water, a slender arm reached out, grabbed the mercenary's foot and neck, and pinched it hard, the mercenary immediately screamed and fell to the ground, covering his foot and neck and crying wolf. The other two were so shocked that they were about to pick up their companions and escape, when a shiny silver shou suddenly appeared from behind one of them, stabbed the man in the back, and then disappeared. By this time the water on the ground had seeped into the dirt and vanished, leaving only two wailing wounded and a bewildered mercenary in the woods.
Suddenly, the mercenary felt a cold feeling on his neck, and subconsciously wanted to touch it, and the mercenary with an injured foot and neck shouted in panic, "Tommy, be careful!" The mercenary named Tommy only felt a chill in his neck, and he was so frightened that he immediately ran away.
The mercenaries and caravan members outside the woods saw Tommy fleeing with blood all over his body, and cried out in panic: "Ghost! Ghosts! There are ghosts in the woods! ”
"What's going on?" The leader of the caravan's guards shouted loudly, the screams just now had already indicated that there was danger in the woods, but he didn't know what the situation was.
Tommy panted and said, "There are ghosts, there are ghosts in the woods." The hands that came out of the ground, and the invisible blades, they were all wounded, so let's run. ”
The leader of the guards said angrily: "Nonsense! To give up his companion is such a bastard! I'd like to see if there's really a ghost here. As he spoke, he was about to rush into the woods.
"Christine, wait." A plump middle-aged man poked his head out of a carriage and stopped Christine, the leader of the guards. "You can't just leave the caravan. Send someone to take a look, and if it's really dangerous, find another way. ”
Christine calmed down a little, remembered her duty, and turned back to a few mercenaries and said, "You go in and have a look, Bud, you go with them." I don't believe any. ”
Several mercenaries looked at each other, and someone held Tommy, who had been stabbed in the neck, and asked in a low voice, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Tommy replied, "We're in the woods...... Detective, suddenly a hand came out of the ground and grabbed Lyle's foot and injured him, and then Anthony was stabbed by a bi shou that suddenly appeared, and I really didn't know what was going on, and I was cut myself, so I ran out. ”
The fear in the eyes of several mercenaries was even worse, these people didn't even have sporadic things, they were just a group of farmers who had been wandering for a few years, where could they understand the ability of shadows and passing years, they only felt that this must be a ghost. After a few glances at each other, a few mercenaries suddenly ran away, in order to make a few small bucks to fight against irresistible ghosts, fools will do it.
Christine looked at the scattered mercenaries and became angry. He was dug out of the army by a caravan with a high salary, and the most important thing was his companions. Companions are not only emotional, but also rely on each other in battle. Even if he has become the leader of the caravan guard, even if his strength has been improved to three stars, Christine still has not changed his mind.
"This garbage. Bard, Taylor, you two go and see, I don't believe that there are any ghosts in this world, there must be someone pretending to be a ghost. ”
"Let's, Captain." The two fierce men turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the woods with their weapons in their hands. Bard is a two-star fighter, Taylor also has one-star strength, and he is a strong man in this kind of place, and Christine has enough confidence in them.
The two entered the woods, and soon heard wailing and shen yin, and after a few more steps, they saw two unlucky mercenaries lying on the ground.
Bard quickly stepped forward to check on the two men's injuries, and Taylor stood on guard, but nothing happened.
The two returned to the caravan and reported to Christine and the caravan steward. The caravan steward was a little hesitant, there was no doubt that there must be others in the woods, but this route could not be changed easily, otherwise the trip would be greatly delayed. In the end, it was Christine who called the shots, and the caravan cautiously made its way through the woods under the protection of the convoy.
This was the method that Luo Han used to disperse the mercenaries, and since the mercenaries couldn't withstand the blow so much, of course the shadow and the flowing year were happy to let the caravan pass.
Not long after, Luo Han and the others arrived on horseback, and Shadow and Liunian rode the two spare horses and chased after them together. Everyone has experienced the long Three Kingdoms scene, and horseback riding is a skill that has long been mastered, especially these horses are tamed for people to ride, and there is no difficulty in getting started.
The Storm Squad pursued lightly, and soon saw the caravan marching with the carriage. Luo Han waved his hand, and the horse team slowed down. Luo Han approached the caravan on his horse, and when he saw that the other party had grabbed their weapons and guarded, he smiled and said: "I am the leader of the Storm Mercenary Group, it seems that you don't have any mercenaries, is there anything I can do for you?" ”
Christine looked at Luo Han vigilantly, although the storm team had done a cover-up, they still had a fierce atmosphere, and it could be seen from their full riding that this was a powerful mercenary group, where would those garbage mercenaries have the spare money to buy horses?
"The mercenaries we hired in the last city ran into some danger and escaped." Christine organized the language and said: "You look down on the weak, maybe we don't need a mercenary group of this grade, you know, we have to consider the price." ”
Luo Han smiled kindly, matching the scar and beard on his face, but he looked very bold: "Of course, in fact, we don't like the kind of short-distance escort remuneration, but we are planning to go to Norland to do some things, if you stop by the way, maybe we can make a long-distance escort business." You know, I'm a martial artist from the Rich East, comparable to the three-star powerhouses on your side, and my team members are all powerful warriors with the strength to enter the stars. With our escort, nothing goes wrong. ”
This is what Luo Han thought carefully about when he came on horseback, if he was like an ordinary mercenary, he could only walk, although everyone was walking like flying, in order not to expose his strength, he could only turtle speed, which would undoubtedly affect his speed. Moreover, I didn't think about it before, and ordinary mercenaries are afraid that they will not accept this kind of long-distance escort mission that spans nearly 1,000 kilometers, because they are not familiar with the place, the risk is too great, and it is difficult to receive the return mission when they arrive in Norlante, and the gains outweigh the losses when they come back at their own expense. Of course, Luo Han is actually not very willing to pretend to be a grandson, deliberately inferior, and the competition among low-level mercenaries is too great, so people may not be able to choose him. Therefore, Luo Han simply made a high-profile appearance, and it really didn't work if he didn't take money to do good deeds and "drop by" with the caravan, I believe that with the mentality of a businessman, he would not refuse. As for the vigilance of the caravan, it is difficult for them to dare to stop the Storm Squad from joining them.
Sure enough, as soon as the caravan steward heard that the other party was so powerful, he said: "We also happened to go to Norlante, but the price of hiring an elite mercenary group with a three-star powerhouse is too high, and we can't afford it." ”
Although the steward couldn't say it, there was obviously a negotiable meaning in his tone. Luo Han laughed: "Since it's a stop, and we're not in a hurry, let's take over the business by the way." Regardless of our food and accommodation along the way, by the way, we will give some money to buy wine and drink, and if you are in trouble, we will definitely try our best to help. ”
Luo Han didn't say anything, but it made the steward feel more at ease, after seeing the behavior of that group of mercenaries who could even leave their own companions behind, Luo Han knew that the mercenaries' promises lacked credibility, and it was better to be realistic. The steward's abacus is also very good, and the travel expenses of ten more people are just around, even if they hire mercenaries along the way, it may not cost less, if they encounter danger, these people can help, and they will make a lot of money. Of course, the steward also knows that under this condition, don't expect the Storm Mercenary Group to help you with chores, it is completely a small amount of money to make a big profit.
"Of course, no problem, it's our pleasure. It's just that since the Storm Mercenary Group has such a strong strength, why have I never heard of your name? And you all look like Orientals. ”
The steward also said casually that the Holy War Continent is vast, and there are many mercenaries, and there are many of them that he has never heard of. Luo Han was prepared and responded: "Hehe, you also know that warriors like us will come here from the east, and most of them will be expelled and flee, otherwise who would want to cross the vast desert and come to a foreign land?" In fact, we all worked for a master, and the distance was far away and the master was separated, so we formed a mercenary group to make a living and inquire about the master's information. Usually we don't seek wealth, as long as we can eat and drink normally, so we are not famous. Recently we got the news that our host appeared in Norlante, and we just went to run, and there was a lack of travel expenses, so ......"
The steward nodded repeatedly, he had heard a lot of such stories, the far east was extremely rich, even some of the fallen nobles were rich, they often had loyal and strong subordinates, who could protect them through the vast desert to the west, and establish a strong force. At present, there are quite a few small countries established by Orientals on the western continent, but because of cultural restrictions, it is difficult to develop further, and after a long time, they will either be assimilated or perish.
This can be regarded as a reasonable backdrop for the scene to provide for the faces of the East, otherwise it would be difficult for this scene to accommodate the yellow race, which accounts for forty percent of the world's population.
The Storm Mercenary Regiment marched with the caravan, and without the mercenaries who were slowing down, the speed was much faster, and it didn't take long to reach a city. The caravan needs to make some trade here, exchange some goods, and at the same time supply some supplies. Next, you need to pass through a mountainous area, considering that you may have to camp, and you need to hire a few miscellaneous servants, of course, their name is also mercenaries, but they don't have any combat missions, purely to help the caravan advance in the mountains.
After the steward communicated with the soldiers guarding the door, the carriage lined up to enter the city, Luo Han and others led the horses to follow, obviously the steward had been dealt with, and the soldiers did not interrogate Luo Han and others. After entering the city, Luo Han talked with the steward for a few words, and temporarily separated from the team with the shadow and Zhao Qian.
Luo Han left to get some gold coins, but he robbed a rich man of the bag of gold coins at the beginning, but after buying a horse, there was not much left. Although this road is in charge of food and accommodation, you also have to consider unexpected situations. This time, Luo Han is going to make a big deal, and the robbers are just like that, of course, it is more rewarding to take it directly from home. The shadow stealthily went in to get the money, and when he encountered the box, he handed it to Zhao Qian violently, and the efficiency was not too high.
