"Open the gates!"

The guard's loud announcement sounded, and the originally tight door rumbled open, and Allen and the group left Samuel.

However, after walking a few steps, the merchant noticed that Alan had not followed, and he looked back to see that Alan was talking to a guard in a low voice.

"What is he doing?" asked Hanaris, who was beside him.

"I don't know. The merchant shook his head, his face equally puzzled.

Didn't you fall out with Samuel's family? Why does it look like a broken thread now?

"I guess he's sorry. ”

"It's impossible, if I really regret it, I'd have turned around and gone back. ”

"And what do you say they're doing? Does he know the guard?"

"It's also possible...."

It didn't take long for the two of them to guess, and Alan caught up, and then he didn't explain anything, looked at the strange-looking crowd, didn't speak, turned over his horse, and rode away first.

But I don't know if it's an illusion, the businessman always feels that Allen's eyes just now are much more serious than before.

"Did something happen?" he pondered, but didn't ask.

A businessman who is well versed in the principles of life knows that there are some things to ask and some things not to ask, and since Alan did not say it, it must be inconvenient to say.

Rarely, Hanaris didn't get to the bottom of it, but unlike the merchant, he was only attracted by other things, and at this time he was turning his head to look around, looking at the endless plain and exclaiming: "If it weren't for the danger, this plain would be a beautiful sight!"

"If you compare your mouth to Warcraft, it's not certain who is dangerous and who is dangerous. ”

Dario interjected, causing the mercenaries behind him to laugh.

At this time, in addition to the three merchants, there are more than a dozen mercenaries, all of whom are people found by Dario and Hanaris, although Alan feels that he does not need the protection of these ordinary people, but it does not hurt to bring more people to the bay.

After walking for a while, the merchant approached and asked, "Do you think it is feasible to recruit mages?"

Alan was thinking about something at this time, and replied casually when he heard this: "The right is an idle move, if it can have an effect, it will naturally be good, and if it doesn't work, we won't lose anything." ”

At this time, everyone did not hurry up, they had just left the city, and the horses needed a time to adapt, so they could still talk.

"It should have an effect, the boss is so generous. ”

"Not necessarily, mages are usually very eccentric. ”

The group was talking about what Eren had done before, and he didn't hide it from them, which made many mercenaries envious of the mage's high salary.

"How long will it take for us to get to the bay?" asked a mercenary who had never been to the Gold Coast before.

"If there are no accidents, about eight or nine days. The merchant responded.

Alan was surprised that he was able to answer the question, because no one here had been to the bay except him, and it was impossible to answer it accurately.

"I predicted" Facing Allen's surprised gaze, the merchant shrugged his shoulders: "The cities of the stars are usually distributed very regularly, I have not observed this much before, and I have always thought that there is some secret contained in it, but in the end I didn't find anything, but I am more proficient in this geographical aspect." ”

"Then you'll have a lot of stuff. ”

"After all, after so many years..."

During the chatter, the group gradually increased their speed, and finally the horses galloped completely, and the air resistance turned into a violent wind, forcing them to keep their mouths shut.

The horses galloped on fairly smooth roads towards the south, and the Scarlet Plains had been peaceful lately, and most of the orc tribes had moved under the pressure of Samuel's army, so they took the route straight instead of going far and wide.

The low dragon's roar of grass kept swaying, the sound of horses' hooves rang in their ears continuously, the sun in the sky rose from the beginning to the top of their heads, and from the top of their heads to the west, and by the time they reached a plain green area, the sun had basically set, and dusk had fallen.

"I suggested that we set up camp here, it was too unsafe to travel in the wilderness at night. ”

The merchant was right, there were many monsters living in the plains, and the night was the best time for them to be active.

Alan followed the merchant's advice and found a place to set up camp, but he seemed to be worried about whether he would be attacked, and he was very careful in setting up his tent.

"Freman, you guys go chop some firewood, we need to make a fire, Koster, you guys go look for it, there should be a stream nearby, go get some water, and see if you can get some fish to eat by the way, dried meat is not very tasty." ”

The others were not as cautious as Alan, and they began to set up the camp in an orderly manner under Dario's orders, and their expressions were relatively relaxed.

This terrain has not yet detached from the plain, and most of the demonic beasts on the plain are in the middle rather than this marginal area, so there is not much danger if you go far, and there are many demonic beasts living in the forest not far away, but as long as you don't go deeper, it's no problem.

The mercenaries are all old fritters who survive in the wild, and they have a lot more experience than Allen, so Allen did not blindly command them for such a "bold" move. No one is going to joke with their lives unless they are sure.

Not long after, under the orderly and experienced arrangement of the mercenaries, a simple camp appeared, Alan was not idle during this time, and arranged several magic alarm enchantments around the camp, this enchantment shrouded an area of 20 square meters, after the enchantment, he could clearly perceive any foreign enemies intruding in the enchantment, and a single one naturally could not cover the entire camp, so he arranged a lot.

What's more convenient is that he can set the conditions for the alarm at will, such as the size of the intrusion creature, whether there is magic or not, etc., which is a very convenient function, otherwise a mosquito and a reptile will have to call the police, then he doesn't want to stop.

"You seem to have something on your mind?" The mercenaries can do it themselves without being taught to set up the venue, so the merchant Kleist has nothing to do. Seeing that Alan touched his chin and kept thinking about things, he naturally came up.

"Be careful, it may not be peaceful tonight. "Alan didn't want to say it, because the enemy's target was only himself, and saying it would disturb the morale of the army, and it was useless.

But after thinking about it, he still said it, after all, it doesn't hurt to make yourself wary.

But he finally added: "Don't say it, you just know it yourself." ”

Obviously, Alan was not so relieved about the other mercenaries, for fear that the enemy would blend in.

"What did the guard tell you?"

"Good observation. Alan was not surprised by this, and nodded calmly.

"What the hell is the enemy?" the merchant frowned.

"Don't think too much about it, you just need to know about it. Alan didn't answer, just waved his hand, obviously not wanting to say more.

The merchant didn't ask any further, but he was already secretly vigilant.

So, in this situation, the originally relaxed atmosphere of the camp unconsciously became a lot heavier.

The mercenaries wondered why the two of them looked unsmiling, but stress was contagious, although Alan tried to avoid it.

But even so, the mercenaries didn't mess up the rhythm and did what they had to do.

Ordered to go out, the Freemen managed to get some firewood from the edge of the woodland, while the Coster got water, a few fish, and to their surprise, they even got a gray-shelled turtle the size of two adult palms.

"Haha, this is a big supplement, the earth dragon meat in Yanguan City does not have an effect on this thing, I have eaten one before, and the effect is completely fine with a group alone!"

Hanaris shouted, snatched the short-legged turtle in Koster's hand, and then nodded and came to Allen, "Head, please smile!"

He was talking to himself, but Alan wasn't interested, glancing at the strange-looking creature, he waved his hand: "You can eat it yourself, I don't need to make it up." ”

This sentence obviously had a mocking effect, and Hanaris, who had been laughing at the beginning, couldn't laugh anymore, and he returned in a huff, causing the mercenaries to laugh at him.

The incident began, the cheerful atmosphere came again, the bonfire was raised, the marching pot was hoisted, and the aroma of the mercenaries boiling fish and turtles began to diffuse, accompanied by the noise that was not too big, but could clearly reach the ears, and the depressed mood seemed to be relieved a lot.

People are social animals, and although they know that their existence will not have any effect in the face of powerful enemies, they can have some psychological comfort.

Therefore, Alan did not disturb them, and kept hiding in the tent, except for once when he was eating, but this did not seem to be anything special, as a mage, in the eyes of others, this kind of withdrawn appearance was normal.

As night fell, it grew darker, and the noisy mercenaries returned to their tents, leaving the three of them to keep vigil together.

In the middle of the night, when everything was quiet, Alan in the tent suddenly opened his eyes.

He sensed someone breaking into the barrier!
