"Ah, this time it's a big loss! I sold my family's house to scrape together enough for this weapon and this armor. I thought I might not be able to go back this time, but now ......" A bald man slammed the wooden wine glass on the table, and nearly half of the ale in the cup spilled out, but he didn't care about it, and obviously drank a lot.

"You're okay, the four of us brothers went into battle together to kill the enemy, but I'm the only one left now, how can I explain to my dad when I go back!" The person who answered the call rested his elbows on the table and covered his face with his hands, not wanting others to see the tears that crossed his cheeks. Leaning on his table was a two-handed greatsword, the blade already chipped, apparently having experienced a terrible battle before. And the other three broken weapons on the table belonged to the brother in his mouth.

"Mourning...... Ola the three of them...... I was fighting not far away, and they were not spared to help when they were in distress. ”

"No, it's not your fault. ”

"Okay, if you want to open up, at least you're alive. A man with the same sad expression on his face came over and patted him on the shoulder. The two had not known each other before, but the near-same experience resonated with them.

"Alas, it's better to be a mercenary group, a mercenary team like ours can really play a small role on the battlefield. ”

"The large mercenary group is said to have suffered a lot of losses this time, but I think a team like ours is more flexible. A bearded mercenary continued: "And I heard that the highest single-day record is a lone mercenary, who is said to be a little girl, I don't know if it's true, or if it's just a rumor." ”

"It should be true, I don't know how, I've heard this rumor, it seems that the quartermaster himself said it, it's the old man who broke an arm. ”

"What an old man, that one is a veteran who participated in the defense of the Iron Wall in the east. ”

"What? Iron Sentry? Is that the beast tide in the eastern swamps?"

When Liu Li returned to Orosha Castle, he was presented with this chaotic scene.

"You guys stay here, and I'll go to the main fort to see what's going on. The chaos in the Sandcastle Tavern made Kuhn's heart sink in his heart, and he didn't know why the work of pacifying the mercenaries was so late and hadn't started yet.

......

When Kuhn arrived in the main castle hall, the first thing he saw was Vidro's bare-eyed, withered face. The state of "the iron wall of the empire" really scared him. Kuhn really couldn't understand why the war was over, and the old fellow was in worse shape.

"Kuhn!you're back!" Slowly twisting his stiff neck, Vedro shouted in surprise when he heard the door open, and when he raised his head to see Kuhn, he felt that the ugly face was so kind for the first time, "Come and help, these reports are too troublesome, I haven't slept in four days." ”

"What's wrong with you, Veddro?" Veddro's reaction was exaggerated, and Kuhn cautiously stepped back two steps, as if to avoid the "fiery" gaze.

"Don't mention that drunkard to me, he ran away with the witch a few days ago!" Vedro almost condensed into a wisp of black smoke behind his back, "God knows what happened, but that day the witch suddenly teleported over and shouted 'William is back', and then the two of them teleported away together." He had been dealing with the reports all along, but the drunkard hadn't even done the handover before he left, so I didn't know where to start, and now the city was in chaos. ”

"What? Are you sure they said William...... Ahem, don't worry, I won't leave, I'm not a spellcaster......" Seeing that Vedro was about to pounce after hearing his words, Kuhn quickly coughed lightly and said comfortingly, "But don't blame Wells, after all, he has been looking for William's traces for decades." ”

"Alright, don't talk so much, hurry up and help me sort out these reports. Vedro rubbed his swollen head and tried to focus on the task at hand, "Deal with the mercenary's problem first, otherwise let them stay idle in the city, and sooner or later there will be problems." ”

......

The principal of Orosha Castle is Vedro Wardro, even if he has Wells's status as a "military advisor", Kuhn does not break the rules, let Liu Li, who is not in the army establishment, live in the barracks, and let them find a place to live in the city like other mercenaries. Especially now that Vedro has a deep grudge against Wells, he just hurriedly found Liu Li, explained it and left again. There are a lot of reports that need to be dealt with in the aftermath work, and if it weren't for the experience he has accumulated as the captain of the city guard over the years in Alenor City, he may not have been able to deal with these things.

Kuhn was not worried about the safety of several people, he knew as early as when he was in Elenor City, Liu Li, like his teacher, could be called an experienced mercenary.

Compared with the military camp in the northern city, the southern city of Orosha Castle is much more lively. There are many taverns here, there are many mercenaries haunting, although there are occasional incidents of drunken quarrels and provoking troubles, but after all, they have not yet received a notice to lift the state of war, and the mercenaries are still more restrained than before.

Liu Li did not dress up as a mercenary, but wore a "space walker" robe, like a normal spellcaster. At least this identity can deter some mercenaries who are getting more and more bold under the stimulation of alcohol, and save the three girls from the trouble of being harassed.

"Liu Li, where are we going now?" The squirrel was a little bored, she had been practicing martial arts in the Elven Forest all year round, and she was used to the peaceful and indifferent way of getting along with the elves, which made her not very suitable for such a noisy environment.

"yes, I don't really like the sight around me either. Nana resonated with the squirrel at this point, and the staring eyes of the mercenaries around her made her uncomfortable, but fortunately, the giant scythe behind her, which was nearly two meters long, deterred many daredevils who were planning to come up and talk to her.

"Well, I'm just looking for a more familiar inn, but for now, it's still a casual ...... Huh? Before Liu Li finished speaking, he saw several acquaintances turning around the street corner in front of him.

"Yo, Liu Li!" the other party obviously saw Liu Li as well, and waved his hand.

"'Queen', 'Hurricane', ...... you guys" Sha hugged Creek's arm tightly, not minding being taken advantage of by the other party, obviously the two of them were developing well during this time. Compared to the blush on Crick's face after being bumped into by an acquaintance, Sata looked like he didn't care at all.

"Ha, what else, I was eaten and wiped clean by this kid, if I hadn't drunk too much that day...... But fortunately, he didn't admit it. Sha's voice was clear, deaf to the laughter of the mercenaries around her, "But 'Hurricane' is really 'Hurricane', it's really ...... Hmm!"

"Ahem!" Crick coughed violently, unable to let the "Queen" continue her cold speech, and quickly covered the mouth of the veil, turned his head and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's find a tavern first." ”

Liu Li looked at the strange pair in front of him speechlessly, and now he only felt that the second half of the "Hurricane" Creek was likely to be in dire straits.

......

"Where has Liu Li been all this time?" asked Sa, after taking a seat in the corner of the tavern hall. These days, she and Crick have been looking for Liu Li's traces on the battlefield, and after enjoying the convenience brought by the "Psychic Communication" network, they have become obsessed with the feeling of having reliable companions by their side ready to support them at any time, "Well, but what I want to know most now is that these little girls are all your ......"

"Meow!" Before Sha finished speaking, the squirrel blew up his fur and pounced on Liu Li, as if he wanted to swear sovereignty in this way.

"Well, you don't have to answer, I know. ”

Liu Li took a lot of effort to take off the cat lady hanging on his body, he also had a headache, the squirrel was not so sticky, but now it seems that the cat lady girl seems to be a little too affected by the Xinwu "spirit cat".

"I went on a mission, and I was one of my companions. Liu Li helped stroke the squirrel's cat ears and help her smooth her hair while answering the first question of the yarn.

"He's not...... Where have you been?" Not only Sa, but also Crick, who was sitting next to her, had a surprised expression on his face, obviously the two of them had also heard of the existence of the "Holy Land", "Have you already learned that legendary technique?"

"You mean 'heart' ......" Before he finished speaking, Liu Li suddenly felt a palpitation, as if bad luck would befall him if he continued to speak.

"Liu Li, there are some things that can't be said, otherwise there would be no such thing as 'only there can you find the opportunity to be promoted to a higher level'. "Although Nana has never left the Holy Land, she is still relatively clear about the taboos that need to be paid attention to when walking on the Ode Continent.

"...... this girl?" Nana's speech caught Crick and Sa's attention.

"I just came out of there, sort of...... Residents of that place. "There are not a few warriors who have come to the Oder Continent from the Holy Land, and Nana has no intention of concealing it, "Well, I came out this time to learn magic." ”

Hearing Nana's confession, the two fourth-order martial artists, Crick and Sa, both showed a ghostly expression.

......

"Tsui Wa, is this also normal?" Kayla asked with a solemn expression, looking at the aura around the Dragon City in the storm that made her super-level mage feel palpitations.

"What is normal, it's obviously a big trouble!" From the shattered "Heavenly Realm", it was not only the Dragon City that survived the catastrophe 10,000 years ago that fell out, but also the chaotic aura, which was the residue left after the destruction of a world.

"What should we do? We can't handle this situation......

"Well, it seems that the problem here is more serious than that of the Sea Clan...... Two ways, either we go back and change Crohys to come here, or ...... The only way to ask Xiao Liu Li for help. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, Liu Li should be in Orosha Castle now, let's go and arrest him. Kayla subconsciously didn't think about the first option - she hadn't had enough of it, how could she go back so early.
