Morning.

Poplar Village, Poplar & Wine Hotel.

After the hunt in the middle of the night, Zhao Li, who played cards all night until dawn again, slept in the room on the second floor of the hotel for a few hours, but heard a loud noise outside.

"What's going on?"

Zhao Li got up from the bed.

Listening to the commotion outside, it seems that a large group of people has arrived.

Boom!

I heard a loud bang downstairs, and it seemed that the door had been kicked open.

"Please don't..."

"Pull them all out!"

It was the innkeeper's voice, but before he could finish speaking, it seemed to be rudely interrupted.

Zhao Li frowned, directly picked up a few weapons placed at the head of the bed, and walked out.

I saw that the first floor of the Poplar and Wine Hotel was already in a mess, the tables and chairs were pushed to the side, and many soldiers in gray armor were kicking into one room after another.

"There's someone upstairs!"

Immediately, a soldier found Zhao Li standing on the second floor.

"Hands up, come down!"

Immediately, a soldier raised the spear in his hand and shouted at Zhao Li.

"The Nigadians have finally arrived!"

Zhao Li looked at these soldiers, and instantly thought of their identities in his heart.

Without any resistance, Zhao Li obediently raised his hand and came to the first floor.

Immediately, a soldier stepped forward, unloaded Zhao Li's weapon, and pushed Zhao Li out of the hotel at the same time.

After Zhao Li walked out of the hotel, what he saw was a large number of soldiers from the Western Nigadian Kingdom, and at the same time, all the villagers in Baiyang Village who did not escape were detained in the open space at the entrance of the hotel.

"Honorable Knight, we have found a man with a weapon!"

The soldier who had collected Zhao Li's weapon reported to a middle-aged man who was riding a horse and looked quite statused.

"Who are you?"

The knight on the horse asked Zhao Li.

"Mercenary, Mr. Knight, I am a wandering mercenary. ”

Zhao Li had already made up his mind to pretend to be a mercenary, and replied to the knight fearlessly - don't look at his confiscated weapons, as long as Zhao Li is willing, he can snatch the weapon back in minutes, and leave with a bloody way.

Just doing so violates his principle of "obscene development", and it is easy to cause the army to hunt down or something, unless necessary, Zhao Li does not want to clash with the national forces.

The knight glanced at Zhao Li's weapons—an ordinary steel knife, a silver-plated two-handed sword, a sterling silver stabbing sword with a slight black mark, and a half-blackened sterling silver one-handed sword, and couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and asked Zhao Li again: "There are black traces left by monsters on your silver sword, what is your name, are you a demon hunter?"

"No, my name is Francon, and I'm just a regular mercenary warrior, but I've killed some water ghosts and ghouls!

Zhao Li replied loudly, and at the same time pretended to have a somewhat proud look on his face - if he was a mercenary who was an ordinary human being, he could kill a water ghost or a ghoul with one effort, even if it was just one, it would be an extremely proud achievement, absolutely!

But it is impossible to pretend to be a demon hunter, I heard that demon hunters look different from ordinary people, and they have special abilities, Zhao Li will not be stupid enough to use black magic to pretend to be a demon hunter, and he can show that he admires demon hunters very much.

"I believe you're not a spy left here by the Temoya. ”

The knight nodded at Zhao Li, and from the weapon, he could tell that the mercenary warrior in front of him was indeed a good warrior who had killed the monster, and such a good warrior could not be used as a spy whether it was the Temoa Empire or the Nigadian Kingdom.

"Soldier, return the weapon to this warrior, the one who wields the silver sword is not our enemy. The knight instructed the soldier, who immediately returned three silver swords and one steel knife to Zhao Li.

Just as Zhao Li put these weapons back on his body and thought that he could leave smoothly, the knight spoke again: "Now, Franken, you and these villagers have been hired by the Kingdom of Nigad, in the name of the king, as long as you obey orders, no one will harm you!"

Hearing this, Zhao Li almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, but in the name of your bullshit king, who wants to be hired by you, I am here to farm monsters and upgrade!

"I'm sorry, knight, I refuse, I refuse to get involved in war, I only hunt man-killing beasts and filthy monsters!"

Zhao Li tried to refuse in a noble mercenary tone, if this knight didn't open his eyes, he had to arrest his strong man, so he had no choice but to kill him.

"I believe you are a noble warrior. ”

Listening to Zhao Li's words, the middle-aged knight was also a little awe-inspiring - he didn't notice that Zhao Li's hand had already grasped the hilt of the steel knife, and continued: "This hire will not go against your will, these villagers will be hired to transport grain and grass, and you, will continue to crusade against monsters, and together with the real demon hunters!"

“··· Fight against monsters, with real demon hunters?"

Zhao Li's brows furrowed slightly, and the handle of the knife in his hand relaxed slightly.

······

When Zhao Li showed a tacit attitude, the knight sent a soldier to take Zhao Li out of here and walk towards the outside of the village.

Zhao Li is still very interested in hunting monsters, and if he can hunt with the army, he should gain more - as long as he finds an opportunity to secretly get the mutation inducer...

Zhao Li had some conversations with the soldier along the way, and finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that the reason why the Western Nigadian Kingdom had delayed so many days before appearing in Poplar Village was also in trouble.

Although the Western Kingdom of Nigad and the Temoya Empire won several major battles on the border between the two countries one after another, the number of soldiers killed on both sides in this battle is also an extremely exaggerated figure.

In this world, so many soldiers have died, but it will cause a bad thing - that is, a large number of monsters.

All kinds of monsters chased the taste of death and blood to the battlefield of the great war between the two countries, and did not want to leave, and the result was that although the western kingdom of Nigad won the battle, it could not continue to march - a large number of monsters seriously interfered with the army.

Even at night, there were powerful monsters that destroyed most of the camp in one fell swoop, and the entire transportation and logistics troops were also frequently attacked, and there was a shortage of materials and personnel.

Therefore, the western kingdom of Nigadian had to postpone its attack, while capturing nearby villagers to replenish manpower, while recruiting demon hunters, mercenaries, and even dispatching "court mages" from the country to eliminate monsters and clear the obstacles to the march. ()
