Since the collapse of the Cretan Empire, the Holy Sevier Empire has also collapsed in the subsequent Plague of the Dead, the entire southwest of the Holy Seville Empire has become barren and overgrown because of the Plague of the Dead, and several provinces have become in ruins.

And a large number of orcs also began to migrate to the south, and the land of Zhongzhou completely formed a large special zone where humans and orcs lived, and countries of all sizes were established here, some belonging to orcs and some belonging to humans.

With the annexation and integration again and again, more than a hundred years have passed, and finally a large number of half-orcs of mixed human and animal blood occupy a dominant position here, and the beliefs of the Church of the Sun and the Church of Light have also become intricate here, with the alternation of kings, the change of war, and constantly changing.

In Zhongzhou, Maple Leaf City, Arabell Kingdom, outside a tavern that looks half-new, in addition to the sign of the Red Dragon's Breath Tavern, there is also a wooden sign of the mercenary union office hanging diagonally.

This city was the cause of the fall of the Cretan Empire, hundreds of thousands of orc slaves rebelled, and the last place to defend was here, which was dug up by the Count of Tite of the Cretan Empire, and turned all the bodies into a swampy area within a radius of 100 miles, and the corpses floated all over the water, and hundreds of thousands of orc slaves were buried here.

Now, more than a hundred years later, the former province has become the kingdom of Arabell, and Maple Leaf City is no longer the political center here, but a newly established dilapidated small city next to the ruins.

On the first floor of this tavern of the part-time mercenary union office, you can see a large number of guys wearing leather armor, knight armor, holding long swords and steel shields, and there are bright knights and archers with longbows on their backs.

There are also down-and-out vagabond-like guys, the whole first floor is in a mess, and there are glamorous waiters and scantily dressed dancers shuttling among them, among which under the dancer's short skirt, there is a black cat's tail dancing, with a special charm, and the others have more or less some characteristics of human and orc mixed blood.

"Okay, okay, one more jump!"

"Beatrice, don't be a maid here, why don't you come with me, I promise you will eat and drink spicy food!"

"Carol the Elf, you didn't die in the Grey Keep, and those damn brutes didn't hack you to death?"

"Is Lao Tzu so easy to die? These big axes of mine aren't pretty! ”

"Is there any good task recently, these nobles and kings have been fighting all day long, and Lao Tzu is still deducting the rope so much with the money he takes!"

The first floor was noisy and messy, and many people quarreled and scolded, but the sign of the mercenary union was taboo, and no one dared to cause trouble here.

The large and small countries in Zhongzhou have formed a situation of dogs and teeth, and the continuous outbreak of wars and contradictions has also led to a special form of organization appearing on this land, that is, mercenaries, over the decades, all kinds of mercenary groups of thousands of people, as small as three or four mercenary squads have been established, and finally a special management organization has been formed, forming a mercenary union.

At the moment, most of the people in the tavern are mercenaries, among these people, the personnel are complex, but there are almost no ordinary people, at least they are also experienced warriors, and at the same time have a large number of bloodline knights, and they are more leaning on a table in the corner of the wall and look like captains, and the guy wearing knight armor is obviously a Templar.

On the side, a young man in a white cloak with chain mail revealing inside was a priest, hidden in other corners, and even the shadows of several wizard apprentices.

If these people had met dozens or hundreds of years ago, they would have had to fight to the death and never give up, and they would never give up without beating out their brains, but in this tavern, they kept peace with each other.

It has been more than 200 years since the emergence of supernatural powers, and today's priests, Templars, and wizards have begun to appear in large numbers, and every kingdom and country has its own priesthoods and cardinals who have mastered extraordinary powers, and even in every city, even small towns, there are priests with extraordinary powers.

The wizards who were originally active on the continent could no longer be as wreaking havoc and free as they had been hundreds of years ago, and any movement would attract a large number of Templars and priests to come and suppress them.

At the same time, the baptismal rites of the priests and the inheritance of the Templars were not as strict as usual, and a large number of idle priests and wandering Templars were scattered, although they were still loyal to their respective gods, but they did not belong to any power.

At the same time, due to the popularity of supernatural powers, they have also lost their usual lofty posture, and these ordinary wizard apprentices, priests and knights are not as valued as usual.

After all, even a small town has its own church and priests, and in a small city in the orc country, there are paladin squads, and some priests and Templars who are unwilling to sink into some small villages and are bound have chosen to leave.

Therefore, this special situation has also formed in Zhongzhou, where various Templars, priests and wizards who have mastered extraordinary power have formed their own mercenary groups or mercenary teams here to survive and earn a living on this special land of Zhongzhou.

On the second floor of the tavern, it is more formal and formal, with a reception desk and guarded guards, all the mercenaries standing here honestly, watching the new characters, or doing ranks and asking some questions at the front desk.

"Take the task, big task, one hundred gold coins, gold-level mission, go to the misty forest to capture a demonic beast splitting mountain beast cub!"

"The Duchy of Dean is in civil strife again, Grand Duke Dean recruits mercenary groups and mercenary squads to help the Kingdom of Dean suppress the rebellion, and the cost is calculated on a daily basis......"

"The Hongling Merchant Group hires guards to protect them through the Bull Mountains, and requires a minimum silver-level mercenary team to take over, with no less than twenty people."

"Lord Viscount of Haggs Lord, issued a bronze mission to investigate the strange things that happened in the territory, if you want to take over, take it over quickly!"

In the mission hall, it seems to be very busy, there are constantly tasks hanging out, and there are also letters arriving, and the mercenary guild is connected to each other through the letter crow postman, this kind of letter crow is a kind of letter bird bred from the descendants of the wind crow, although it cannot have the same extraordinary power as the wind crow, but it can speak, and it can be used as a messenger like the wind crow.

This method of transmitting messages between sorcerers is said to have been used by shamans to communicate with each other, but as the cultivation method of crows became more popular, it gradually became popular among the kingdoms.

At the same time, the wind crow, a magical beast that can speak, get close to humans and be loyal to humans, has also become a very popular aristocratic pet on the mainland, and every appearance of the wind crow cubs and eggs can be sold at auction for a sky-high price.

Lynn Ahnaton stood in the middle of the mission hall dressed in polished reflective armor, behind him was a two-meter-tall half-orc, with two curved horns, and a hideous face that would be as terrifying as a demon if encountered on the road in the middle of the night.

Lynn Ahnaton is a half-orc native of Midstate, and his mother has some tiger blood, and is a descendant of the group of orcs who fled to Midstate from the north due to the scourge of the dead.

This can be seen from his strong body and the fluff and patterns on his face, and under the influence of his mother, Lynn Ahnaton joined the town's knightly reserve as a teenager, and was later selected by the town's paladins, and was inherited as a teenager and sworn to become a Templar.

What is more special is that Lynn's father claims to be a descendant of the Most Ancient King Ahnaton, and is the heir of the Golden Family Ahnaton.

However, the Akhnerton family has disappeared for I don't know how many years, and Lynn himself doesn't believe it, but after Lynn became a mercenary, in order to get himself valued, he added Akhnaton's surname after his name, wanting to show his noble bloodline, but not many people believed it, but he was ridiculed and ridiculed a lot.

"Look, after we earn money this time, we must establish a large mercenary group and let everyone know the name of my Lynn Ahnaton!"

"Captain, wake up, hurry up and see if there are any good tasks, we are almost out of the pot!"

Lynn had just carried out a daily morale-boosting propaganda campaign when he was interrupted by a small half-orc archer in the team, and few of the squad members sitting in a row paid attention to Lynn, this was a mercenary squad that had just been formed for a short time, and the members were also from all over the world, among the eight people, there were everyone.

Lynn's mercenary squad originally wanted to be named the Golden Dynasty and the Paladin Squad, but they were told that there were already two mercenary squads, and Lynn could only name them the Storm Mercenary Squad.

"Well, it looks like we do need a big job with a lot of money!"

"So how about this? Escort the banished prince Rod Monal back to the kingdom of Mara and help him ascend to the throne as a king, epic level quests, wow, this is a good reward, you can get a huge territory, the title of count, and countless cute king heads (gold)! ”

Lynn casually picked a task, and immediately saw that the companions behind him were all quiet for a moment, and Du Wei, a half-orc with sheep-man blood, patted Lynn on the shoulder: "Well, this is good, it has been on the list for more than half a year, and no one has picked it up, and there will definitely be no one to compete with us, but if you want to support His Royal Highness the expelled prince to ascend to the throne, you need to defeat the current King Mara, who is still sitting on the throne, and this king has at least a hundred thousand regular legions under his control!" ”

"And we, um! One two three...... There are eight of us, and if one person fights 10,000, there are still a few less, do you want to recruit a few more people in? ”

Everyone looked at Lynn like fools, and suddenly felt that the captain of his family was not very reliable, and when he was thinking about quitting the team, Lynn laughed: "Just kidding, I'm talking about the following one, the Hongling Merchant Group's security and mercenary mission, the bounty is quite high, as long as they are protected through the Bull Mountains and into the Mara Kingdom." ”

Starting from Maple Leaf City in the Kingdom of Arabell, the Storm Mercenary Squad, led by a young man named Lynn, embark on a journey and begin their first mission.
