Chapter Eighty-Three: There is no danger

Pierre tilted his head slightly, looking at Kevin lightly, the fierce momentum that he had cultivated over the years in the military was as condensed as substance, instantly breaking away the killing intent that Kevin had exerted on Sophie, helping his cousin break free from the strong pressure.

"It's all a little misunderstanding. It is better to leave it at that, and not to disturb the Marquise on her journey. Pierre said with a smile.

"Just what I wanted. Kevin also smiled, his skin was dark, he didn't expect that when he laughed, the white teeth were so obvious and eye-catching.

Both sides did not use their fighting spirit, and the short invisible fight made Kai Wen confess, unlike the outspoken training ground "master" Sophie, Pierre, who was wearing the chain mail of the royal guard, but the opponent who needs to be taken seriously, since the other party has released the goodwill of reconciliation, why should the mercenary captain add a group of enemies to himself and the mercenary group?

The two powerful male leaders quickly reached an agreement, and the two parties, Chenxi and Sophie, could only focus on the overall situation, and snorted at the same time in tacit understanding, don't look at each other anymore, and naturally there will be no objections.

After barely calming the storm, Pierre and Sophie took a few steps back and made way for the way out of the city.

As soon as the large group of city guards and the onlookers saw the posture, they understood that there was no expected bustle to see, so they sighed one after another, shook their heads and scattered to make way for the passage.

What a pity, it's not as good as a shrew scolding the street, it's rare for two heroic beauties to fight in public, if you really start to do it, how beautiful the picture should be, how can it be better than the stinky mercenaries and city guards rushing up and beating up in groups, isn't it?

In the sound of "creaking", the long convoy started again, and drove out of the south gate of Manny Foster City one after another, officially embarking on the road to the royal capital.

Bidding farewell to a small episode at the South Gate, the convoy followed the sometimes straight, sometimes winding road outside the city, towards a distant target.

According to the road conditions at this time, as well as the distance of more than 700 miles between this place and the royal capital, under the premise that the weather conditions, geographical environment, road conditions and other uncontrollable conditions are normal and smooth, the group will have to walk for more than ten days. If there are accidents such as continuous heavy rain, landslides, and road collapses, it is not uncommon for the road to be delayed for ten days and half a month.

In the front, Noel pretended to be a rhythm, and then Captain Kevin showed up in time to relieve the siege, and Dawn was recognized by the bearded officer and his subordinates and caused an accident, which was successfully solved without danger. It's a pity that I couldn't take the opportunity to repair the long-legged beauty Sophie, and beat her to the brim, which is very regrettable for the girl, especially when Sophie was ruthlessly damaged in the face with a gun and a stick, Dawn really can't swallow this breath, compared to the first time above the Visigothic Gate, the anger brought by the word "again" this time is more intense, the girl is more and more unhappy, and the fire in her heart is like the sun that gradually rises from the horizon to the highest point in the sky, fiery red and hot.

"Cheap mercenary!"

Chenxi muttered softly, a white almost transparent slender palm quietly slammed into it, at the same time, as much as it was coincidental, in the dense forest hundreds of meters away from the side of the road here, a large tree with a diameter of almost one meter and a height of dozens of zhang suddenly made a sorrowful crisp cracking sound from the inside, and then the tall trunk was broken in half from the middle, and the roar was endless, and the upper half of the trunk with a dense crown fell to the forest ground.

Thanks to the dense branches, the fierce momentum was slightly counteracted, otherwise according to the weight of the trunk, I really don't know how many shrubs would have to be smashed.

When the trunk toppled over, the huge roar and the strong light and shade changes caused by the shadow were shrouded, so frightened that it almost fell down, but fortunately reacted in time, the limbs that had just been released clung to the tree trunk, slid down several meters, and after drawing more than ten deep paw prints on the rough bark, it finally barely hung on the tree!

The poor greedy beagle bear searched for a long time, and finally found that there was a large honeycomb on the top of this big tree, and the sweet and fragrant honey tempted it to climb up hard, and finally climbed up with great joy and food, and suddenly such a terrible accident happened at close range, and the upper half of the tree trunk that was not planted was photographed on the ground.

Tightly grasping the tree, his eyes "purring" and turning several times, the beagle bear who was almost hit hung on the trunk of the tree, not daring to move, carefully feeling and observing the movement around him, all the same sound as usual.

After waiting quietly in place for a long time to confirm that there was really nothing abnormal, the beagle bear, whose butt was still red, quietly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to work hard silently.

As a fierce beast whose strength is comparable to that of a second-level soldier at the beginning of his spiritual intelligence, under the humble and silly appearance of the big bear, he has a cunning mind, and when he becomes an adult, he can already compare with a human child of seven or eight years old in terms of wisdom alone. A few days ago, it went out and didn't look at the yellow calendar, accidentally provoked a terrible old man, and was cleaned up by the old man with a wooden stick in his hand, causing it to hurt everywhere in the body, and its buttocks were swollen for several days, and it could only sleep on its stomach all the time, and it didn't even dare to turn over, and it has not completely disappeared until now. The beagle bear, familiar to the audience, made up his mind.

The loud sound naturally attracted the attention of the convoy, and without the order of Captain Kevin, the convoy immediately stopped, and the mercenaries skillfully set up a defensive formation, and at the same time, several mercenaries with strong bodies and flexible movements ran out of the team, running towards the place where the sound came from.

After a while, the mercenary who had gone to find out the situation came back and whispered in Kevin's ear.

The burly regiment commander was obviously stunned for a moment, tilted his head and thought about it, and then looked up at the normal dense forest under the sun, and then waved his hand and lifted the alert.

As the departure call sounded again, the convoy was soon back on the road.

"Huh. It is estimated that the tree is old, and it looks good on the outside, but it is rotten on the inside. Plitander guessed with a smile.

Since then, it has been a smooth journey.

It's easy to get to noon, and the convoy is ready to stop for repairs and have lunch by the way. The standard-bearer at the forefront, signaled by Kevin, to lead the team to a large open space on the side of the road, where the scouts had found that there was enough space for a large convoy and a stream flowing through it, which was very suitable for the group to stay for a short time and be stationed for repairs.

After setting up the guard post, Kevin and Battle each took two cronies and mercenaries to inspect and patrol the perimeter of the camp.

Although this place is not far from Manny Ford City, it is still theoretically under the jurisdiction of the city guards, and it should be regarded as a safe area, but the Marquise de Ryder can encounter passing thieves when she goes out to play, thus losing a lot of the family's elite private soldiers brought from the royal capital, who knows if there are no passing thieves who are worried about them at this moment? If they are attacked less than thirty miles away from the city, and because of the carelessness of the mercenary group, the employer's family has suffered heavy losses in personnel or finances, then the "Black Lion Mercenary Group" The signboard is completely smashed, who will dare to believe them in the future and hire them? The group is waiting for the family to drink the northwest wind. Therefore, Kevin did not dare to be careless at all, and personally led the patrol with his deputy.

With the two captains leading by example, inspecting the security work, the rest of the mercenaries followed the rules, found their own resting positions, gulped down water, fed the mounts, checked the outfits, and got busy.

The outer circle is guarded by the mercenaries, and the inner circle of the camp is the territory of the Marquis Ryder's family, the gorgeous carriages are one after another, and they form a circle in an orderly manner, isolating the inside and outside, and the marquis's family members are just allowed to move and eat, and the mercenaries outside can't see the situation inside. Just looking at this, the Marquis of Ryder's family still seems to retain a bit of the vigilance of the martial ancestors.

Dawn took out the bag containing soybeans from the pack horse's backpack and fed the white horse under the seat. Long journeys can be very tiring, especially when it is necessary to guard against thieves at all times, when animal power is more expensive than manpower, and when you have time, you must let the mounts eat, drink and rest in time to fully ensure their physical strength.

The white horse bowed his head to the palm of Chenxi's little hand, ate the soybeans, and deftly rolled up the soybeans with his tongue and stuffed them into his stomach, the movements were very gentle, with the unique beauty of the mare.

Normer was loosening the straps on Big Black's belly so that Big Black Bull could take a breather, and although this distance was nothing to Big Black Bull and White Horse, the two of them were still very concerned about caring for their mounts. Not far from them, Plitander was leading his horse on the way to the brook, presumably to keep it well drunk.

As a "carefully selected" one, the three of them, together with several other good-looking male and female mercenaries, were responsible for protecting the Marquis Ryder's family in close proximity with the Marquis's private guards, so when they camped and rested, they were arranged in a position that happened to be between the circle surrounded by the carriage of the Marquis Ryder's family and the large group of mercenaries outside.

In the middle of the convoy in the inner circle, smoke rose from the road, and it was the subordinates of the Marquis de Ryde's family preparing lunch for their master.

The mercenaries outside are much simpler, two cauldrons are steaming, and the mercenaries who are temporary part-time cooks are taking out the flatbread prepared in the morning from a big bag, commonly known as the kind of "sac", each of which is the size of a small basin.

When it was time to start the meal, Normer, Dawn and Plitander stepped forward in turn, each handed their own large bowls to the cook, received their own large bowl of broth, and then took their share of the "bag" from the cook, returned to their respective positions, and began to eat their first lunch after officially joining the Black Lion Mercenary Group.

According to the previous habits, the three of them first took a large bowl and drank a large mouthful of soup, and then, in unison, they quickly spit it out the broth that had just been drunk into their mouths!

Normer snorted twice, spit out the soup in his mouth completely, and then pouted and was speechless.

Chenxi frowned, looked at the broth in the bowl, and took another sip without giving up, but still couldn't stand the strange smell, and vomited it again.

Even the old butler, who was accustomed to the wind and waves, and had always been extremely calm, frowned, and was speechless for a long time, this bowl of broth was so unpalatable that he couldn't bear it even after going south and north for many years, eating a lot of food, and eating only a full stomach.
