Chapter 78: The Battle of Chanda

By the time Li Mu and the others rushed back to Chanda Town, the sky was gradually getting dark. Li Mu saw hundreds of people bustling on the beach from a distance. Close to the coast, a dozen boats, large and small, were parked.

"Boss, there are a lot of people on the other side, what should we do?" Manid looked at the crowd of people on the shore with a little trepidation.

Li Mu looked at the terrain in the distance, and then pointed to the hilly area not far away, "Let's go to the shore over there, climb up from the cliff, and then go around the back mountain to Chanda Town, we should be able to rush back around midnight, it seems that the pirates will not attack today, we still have time." ”

Li Mu and his entourage rowed a small boat and quietly leaned under a cliff far from the beach, and several people climbed up the originally low hill along the gap in the cliff.

"Whew, I'm tired, boss, do you think Count Arassis will give us a large bounty to thank us." Mama Tea lay on the ground, snoring and panting.

"Get up, the humidity here is quite heavy, and I don't know how big the reward is, but if we don't go back to defend, then Chanda Town may really be finished, not to mention the bounty, and there will be no place to live." Li Mu pulled Mama tea up from the ground.

"Got it," Mama Cha sat up, sorted out the equipment on her body, and re-energized. His current identity is a mercenary, and he naturally has a sense of spiritual belonging to Chanda Town, the cradle of mercenaries.

"Alright, everyone hurry up as soon as possible, if we hurry up, we can spend the night at the Happy Boar Inn in Suke tonight, and we don't have to blow the sea breeze to sleep in the tent." Li Mu boosted morale.

"I want a hot shower." Jamila stroked her sticky hair, and said with some dissatisfaction, the sea water is really annoying.

"Well, don't say it, I'm tickled as soon as you say it." Kress had been in the sea for a while while pushing the boat, and now he felt itchy.

"Everyone quietly, pay attention to concealment, and keep up."

The group quietly walked down the undulating hills, bypassing the beach where the pirates had gathered, and followed the forest path towards the town of Chanda.

In the middle of the moon, Li Mu and the others finally came to the gate of Chanda Town. Since there are often mercenaries who need to rush back to Chanda Town in the middle of the night for various reasons, although the gate of Chanda Town is closed at night, as long as someone calls the door and can prove their identity, the guards will still open the door.

Li Mu, as a mercenary registered in Chanda, was naturally among the passers, and after checking the badges of several people, the guards consciously opened the door and let them go.

"You go back to the inn first, and I'll report the Earl's side myself." Li Mu stood on the cross street and said goodbye to his teammates.

"Boss of that line, pay more attention to yourself." Joanna nodded to Li Mu, they were all tired, and there was a big battle tomorrow, and they needed to rest urgently.

Li Musan turned around and came to the front of the mansion of Count Arassis, and two guards dutifully guarded the gate of the mansion.

"Please report to the earl, that the mercenary Li Mu has an important intelligence report on the life and death of Chanda Town." With the title of competitive champion, the addition of Zogel's wine jug and noble riding boots, and the charm of a bag of dinars, Li Mu got his wish to meet Count Araciss, who had long been asleep.

After listening to Li Mu's story, Count Aracis was completely sleepy. "What you said is true?" Hundreds of pirates, if these pirates really want to attack Chanda Town, it will be a big trouble for Chanda Town. Moreover, if they were to sweep the surrounding villages, none of them would be able to stop the attack.

"You can send someone to check it out, but do it quickly, because time is running out, I guess they'll be out tomorrow, and I suspect the Dark Order is hiding somewhere and will be ready to go." Li Mu sat on the chair and said with the old god there.

The biggest fear of people is the unknown, but when you know everything about the future, there is nothing to fear. Because, whatever happens is within your expectations.

"Well, I'll send someone to check it out. Also, how did you know the Dark Order was involved? "Count Arassis also knows a little bit about the Dark Order. The Dark Order came to the mainland from the islands, and if they were to develop, they had to start preaching from the seaside. Therefore, the Count of Araciss, who is located on the seashore, still has a certain hearing of this force.

Li Mu mixed the information he got from the pirates with some information he knew about the future Dark Order that would be decrypted, and told Count Alassis. As for the sources, they are naturally some dark believers who are not tight-lipped.

This can be testified by Jamila and Cress, these two people were snatched by Li Mu from the hands of the dark believers.

The freelancers who had gone to find out the news soon returned, and the information he brought confirmed Li Mu's news, and he also brought a new news, that is, more than a dozen boats had been added to the sea, with the logo of the Dark Order hanging on them.

"The Dark Order is really here, are they going to go to war with the whole continent?" Count Aracis crunched his cup.

"Calm down, Lord Earl, we need to think about defense now." Li Mu whispered a word of persuasion beside him.

"Well," Count Arassis seemed to come back to his senses, he glanced at Li Mu, "I'm fine, I was just too excited just now, it's okay." The guards went and called Harrick and Kay together. Count Arassis commanded the guards outside, and then said to Li Mu, "Thank you for providing such useful information in time, but I am really busy now, I can't continue to entertain you, the bounty and reward that should be given to you will definitely not be less, and I will hold a special banquet to entertain you after the war is over, now I'm sorry, I need to work, you should go back and rest early, I hope to see you on the front line of the fight against the enemy tomorrow." ”

"My pleasure." Li Mu got up and saluted, "Retire below." With that, he turned and exited the hall.

The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, Li Mu was woken up by the sound of an emergency assembly bell. Li Mu simply packed up his equipment and followed the crowd to the town center square.

By this time, there were already a lot of mercenaries and bounty hunters gathered here. Everyone was talking about it, and they didn't know what caused Chanda Town to sound the alarm. You know, the last time the pirates appeared in Nabar, the town of Chanda didn't sound the alarm.

While everyone was talking, a middle-aged man with a full body of clothes walked up to the high platform in front.

Li Mu took a closer look, it was Count Arassis who was wearing armor.

Count Arassis walked to the high platform, "Dear friends, I want to inform you of one thing, that is, there is a powerful enemy more than ten miles away from Chanda Town, they are about to arrive, they are nearly a thousand people, and they are strong, I don't want to deceive everyone, I don't know if I can defend my home this time, but I am willing to pay with my life for it." Now please make a choice, if you want to leave, please leave Chanda Town quickly within an hourglass time, and if you don't want to leave, you can stay in the hotel and wait for the war to end. If you are willing to help, I welcome it with both hands, and I will not charge a single point for the loot, and all of it will be given to the personnel who participated in the war, so please choose it now. ”

The crowd fell silent. Everyone is thinking about their future. No one decides their fate hastily.

"We, the Silver Hand Mercenary Regiment, are willing to live and die with Chanda Town." At this moment, a young man in white armor stepped forward.

"We, the Ares Mercenary Regiment, are willing to contribute to the town of Chanda."

"Add me."

"Count me in."

The crowd boiled, and under the leadership of several young mercenaries who were full of blood, the atmosphere became hot, and many mercenaries faced such a lively atmosphere, they couldn't pull their faces if they wanted to leave, otherwise, they would be laughed at by their peers for a lifetime.

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Mu's mouth, he knew that the mercenaries who first issued the declaration were actually the cronies secretly cultivated by Count Arassis. Standing up at this time is naturally to boost morale. They can't say it's evil, it's just human nature.
