Volume 1 Treading the Snow Without a Trace Chapter 55 Firefox Mercenary Group
Hearing the words of the middle-aged man in the Mercenary Association, Fa Qi also understood, and he said politely: "Since this is the case, I will say it directly, the two of us need to go to the Augustus Empire as mercenaries, you should understand, right?"
With such strength and such status, the mercenary branch leader naturally understood the unwritten rules, and said in his heart: "I know, I don't know what level of qualification certificate you need?"
Nodding with satisfaction, ask what should be asked, don't ask what shouldn't be asked, obviously, the middle-aged man in front of him has a very good appetite for himself, Fa Qian said with a smile: "Just give us two D-level mercenary qualification certificates." "I didn't ask anything more, and the mercenary branch leader went to do it immediately.
Half an hour later, Faqi and Xue Wuxi, who wore the badge of mercenary status on their chests, walked out of the mercenary association, and after obtaining the mercenary qualification certificate, Faqi also asked the branch leader for all the D-class mission lists for today, and looked, Faqi chose one of the escort tasks, and went to the meeting point of the mission with Xue Wuxi.
The rendezvous point was at the edge of the city, and when the Falcos and Snow Traceless arrived, dozens of mercenaries of various ranks were already waiting there, this was a mission to escort the caravan from the Barlow Empire through the Augustan Empire, and the destination was the Duchy of Bavaria, which was adjacent to the Augustan Empire.
In line with the idea of the magic and snow without a trace, he passed through the Duchy of Bavaria and entered the Elven Forest. However, it seems that this cargo is not simple, and it needs so many mercenaries to protect it.
Coming to the location of the mercenaries, Xue Wuxian secretly observed, although there were more than fifty mercenaries, but the level of these mercenaries was not high, most of them were D-level mercenaries, and there were dozens of C-level mercenaries, and most of them were martial artists, even if Xue Wuxian did not have any of his opponents among these mercenaries, let alone Fa Li, of course, on the surface, their identities were still low-level mercenaries.
Xue Wuxian whispered to the Fa Li, "Uncle Fa Li, it seems that such an escort task should be very simple. "Xue Wuxian is not wrong in guessing, after all, if the goods are valuable, the employer will hire some famous mercenary groups instead of these stragglers. And the falsity just smiled and said nothing.
About half an hour later, several people came out of the city, and in the middle was a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous costumes, with the air of a superior person, probably a nobleman, and behind him, a young man dressed as two servants.
On the outside are the warriors in five-person armor costumes, and their identities are also clear at a glance, they are mercenary groups.
The reason why everyone can affirm it is because the mercenary group composed of these five people is too famous in this city, they are the only B-level mercenary group in this medium-sized city, the Firefox Mercenary Group, its leader is a strong man who has reached the realm of martial arts known as the Firefox, and the other four members also have the strength of high-level martial artists.
Among them is a high-level fire-type magician, and the other three are high-level martial artists. I didn't expect that the employer even moved the Firefox mercenary group, you know, the mercenary group is different from the scattered individual mercenaries, they are good at group combat, and the combat effectiveness they can exert is definitely not comparable to these stragglers.
However, everyone was just surprised, and soon quieted down, after all, with a B-level mercenary group in charge, their safety factor has also improved a lot. Smiling at the mercenaries, the employer said: "This time it's troublesome to everyone, please leave the contemptible goods to everyone!" The mercenaries also nodded politely at the employer, after all, taking people's money and people, they are doing this business.
After the assignment of the employer, the Firefox mercenary group followed the employer, and the more than fifty low-level mercenaries recruited guarded around the goods, it was obvious that the employer's trust in the Firefox mercenary group was not ordinarily high, but everyone knew that they would do the same.
According to the employer's instructions, Fa Qi and Xue Wuxian followed the employer forward with the goods, just like other mercenaries, and after leaving the city gate, Fa Qi smiled and said to Xue Wuji: "Wuji, have you noticed anything?"
Hearing Fa Li's question, Xue Wuxian thought about it carefully before he spoke: "Uncle Fa Li, the aura of those two young people doesn't seem to be weak, although they deliberately hide it, but the feeling they give me is still not weak, I'm afraid it's on par with me." ”
Listening to Xue Wuji's answer, Fa Qi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, they do hide their strength, it seems that we have had a lot of fun along the way." ”
And Xue Wuxian frowned slightly, and then he was relieved, Uncle Faqi was right, a young man with the strength of the martial arts realm, no matter where he put it, was a guest of the nobles, how could he be a servant?
Xue Wuxian has not been the master of peace since he was a child, so he didn't worry about anything when he understood all this, after all, there was a strong man in the realm of a demon master by his side, what was he afraid of, it was good to have fun, at least it was not boring along the way, and even Xue Wuxian was already looking forward to something happening.
Since the departure, three days have passed, and they have arrived in the central region of the Barlow Empire, and they have been safe and sound along the way, after all, with the protection of such a group of mercenaries, how dare ordinary bandits start, but on the fourth day, the situation that made Xue Wuxian look forward to happened.
When they were walking in a mountain road, a group of bandits surrounded them like a honeycomb, this group of bandits was very unusual, there were more than 200 people, including many junior martial artists, intermediate martial artists, and the leading three reached the peak realm of senior martial artists, it is really hard to imagine when such a group of bandits appeared in the central region of the Barlow Empire.
Looking at the bandits who surrounded him, the middle-aged employer frowned tightly, he stepped forward and smiled reluctantly, and said to the three leading people: "This king, it's convenient to go out to the outside, there are some silver taels here, so you should buy wine and drink for the brothers!" As he spoke, the employer took out a pocket from his arms and threw it at the bandit leader. Looking at its heavy weight, I'm afraid there are dozens of gold coins, and this person is really generous.
And the mercenaries on the side did not stop it, it is naturally best to solve it peacefully, otherwise even if they can repel the bandits, their own losses will definitely not be small, but unexpectedly, the big man who reached out to catch the gold coin pocket laughed and said: "Haha, that's good, well, Lao Tzu won't embarrass you, leave 10,000 gold coins, Lao Tzu will let you go!" What are you kidding? 10,000 gold coins? Even if Xue Wuxian is a little dumbfounded, this bandit can really open his mouth, 10,000 gold coins, he is really embarrassed to say it?
When the employer heard this, his face couldn't help but change, and he said with some annoyance: "This brother is too good at joking, isn't he? Isn't 10,000 gold coins too much?"
Unexpectedly, the big man in the center laughed again: "You are too much, Lao Tzu is not enough!" As he spoke, the big man beckoned to the bandits, "Brothers, get on!" After that, he took the lead and rushed towards the middle-aged employer.
The situation changed rapidly, and everyone did not expect that this big man would order an attack so abruptly, however, most of the mercenaries have also done many missions, and they have not dealt with the bandits once or twice, so when they saw the bandits coming forward, the blood in their blood was also stimulated, and they rushed towards the bandits with weapons.
Seeing this scene, the employer sighed and said to the head of the Firefox mercenary group: "Mr. Firefox, please!"
And the young man in his thirties, known as the fire fox, smiled politely and said, "Sir is polite, we will naturally take care of it, don't worry!"
As he spoke, he instructed the three high-ranking martial artists under his command, "The three leaders are handed over to you, Huoyan, and you use magic to support you remotely." "Yes, big brother!" Obviously, everyone in the Firefox mercenary group cooperated for a long time, and as soon as Firefox finished speaking, the remaining four people had already begun to act.
When the three high-level martial artists rushed forward, the high-level fire-based magician had already sent dozens of fireballs towards the three bandit leaders in front of him, and the firefox just stood beside his employer, quietly watching all this, and he had great confidence in his subordinates.
Seeing that fire magician's instantaneous fireball technique, Xue Wuxian couldn't help but light up his eyes, this magician was probably already standing at the peak of the high-level magician realm, and was already hovering at the edge of the great magician realm, and it wouldn't be long before he would be able to break through again.
After Xue Wuxian passed the freshman competition, his magic power was already at the peak level of a high-level magician, and he was only one chance away from breaking through. In terms of martial arts, he was very happy, because he had found that the fighting spirit in his body had changed qualitatively in the past few days, and after accumulation, he was transforming from a senior martial artist to a martial artist realm, and his comprehensive strength was already at the level of a martial artist, even compared with the leader of the Firefox Mercenary Group, I am afraid that he was also among the best.
Since the Fa Qi and Xue Wuxian were only wearing D-level mercenary qualifications, the bandits rushing towards them were lackluster in terms of quantity and quality, and the Fa Qi and Xue Wuxian were very easy to deal with, so they could deal with it while secretly paying attention to the battle on the Firefox mercenary group's side.
Although it was an instantaneous fireball technique, it still caused a certain obstacle to the three bandit leaders, which also gave the three members of the Firefox Mercenary Group enough time to exert their fighting spirit with all their might, and when the three bandit leaders solved the fireball technique with their fighting spirit, they immediately met the attack of three opponents of the same level.
The three bandit leaders, one has the strength of the peak of a high-level martial artist, and the other two also have the strength of a high-level martial artist, on the other hand, the strength of the Firefox mercenary group is comparable to that of the three bandit leaders, and it is also a strong man at the peak of a high-level martial artist, and two high-level martial artists are mid-level powerhouses, but their advantage is that they have a high-level fire magician to provide them with long-range support, just this, the Firefox mercenary group is almost invincible.
And the leader of the Firefox mercenary group, Firefox, naturally saw this, the leader of the group, Firefox knew very well what he should do at this time, this group of bandits appeared a little strange, he naturally had to leave spare strength to deal with possible emergencies, otherwise, he alone would be able to deal with the three bandit leaders, and he didn't need his own people to do it at all.
And the middle-aged employer and the two young servants were close to the firefox, it seemed that they also saw some clues, it was undoubtedly safest to stay by the firefox's side at this time, but although the situation was good, there was a deep worry on the face of the middle-aged employer, but what was he worried about?
