Chapter 23: Mercenaries

"Full of oil, let's go!" With Leohard's order, the convoy gradually moved away from the town where they were resting.

Leohard had a cigarette in his mouth and looked out the window, and as far as the eye could see, the grass on both sides of the road could be regarded as scenery except for the necessary road signs.

"Head, don't you think this mission is a little strange?"

Leohard exhaled a puff of smoke and turned his head to look at Nikolai. "How do you say that?"

"The other party's commission is a bit sudden, and we haven't talked to him, I'm afraid"

"It's okay, this client is my old friend, there will be no problem, stop at the sudden commission you said, that's because we were still on the last task when this commission was just received, I don't want to distract you."

"Haha, I see, it's my care." Nikolai laughed.

"Yes." Leohard nodded, and the cigarette in his hand was put in his mouth again.

The speed of the convoy was very fast, leaving a trail of smoke and dirt on the dirt road with deep tire marks.

"Looks like we'll be there in the afternoon."

Leohard's estimate was accurate, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, the convoy arrived in the town where it was scheduled to meet.

The pharmacist disguised as Ai Lan took the initiative to contact Leohard, and soon under Ai Lan's spell, the mercenaries immediately let down their guard and no longer looked at Ai Lan with suspicion.

Late at night, in Leohard's room. Elan, who sat opposite Leohard, leaned back on the couch and told Leohard about his plans.

"Yes, my lord, your plan is clear."

"Yes." Ai Lan disappeared into the room.

======================================================================

"This group of bitches raised even use rocket artillery! Head, who are we protecting? ”

Leohard looked at the bombed Humvee and heard the voice coming from the walkie-talkie, and felt a little happy in his heart. "It's good that the car was blown up. It's good that people are okay. Leohard picked up the walkie-talkie: "Nikolai, you take B, C, and D here to block them, and I will lead Team A to outflank them."

"Head, what about the employer?"

"With you, protect him."

"Yes!"

Lying behind a huge rock, Ai Lan had a pistol in his hand, Ai Lan had no research on firearms, and did not know what model it was. The gun was stuffed into her hand by Nikolai just now. "Try your best to protect yourself, this group of people is menacing, I will try my best to protect you, but you also have to protect yourself!"

Ailan listened to the sound of gunfire mingling with the shouting and scolding, the sound of the command and the screeching of rockets in the air. Everyone is caught up in this fight and can't extricate themselves.

Ai Lan took out the pocket watch she was carrying, lowered her head, watched the little movement of the second hand, and estimated the time, "It's almost time." Ai Lan left a mirror image in place. I used the 'stealth technique' to get to the rear of the rabble. Ailan saw Leohard and the Group A he was leading.

"Leohard, I'm going to take control of them in a moment, and you lead your men to deal with them."

Leohard heard Alan's voice, and he was sneaking around for a moment, then returned to normal. He waved his hand at the people behind him, motioning for them to speed up.

Seeing Leohhard's gesture, Elans began to gather mana to prepare to cast a spell.

"Time warp." A deep purple glow glowed in Ailan's hands. The bodies of the rabble came to a standstill.

Leohard, who had already circled behind the enemy, naturally did not miss this opportunity. "Follow me!" He gave the order, and he rushed forward in the first place. But he didn't notice that the eyes of the warriors behind him were full of confusion, and they mechanically fired with him.

In this near-cheating battle, none of Leohard's 'Blood Eagle' mercenaries were killed, and at most a few unlucky ghosts were grazed by shrapnel.

Leohard picked up the communicator: "Nikolai, you are in charge of cleaning up the battlefield. We need to take a break. ”

Nikolai's voice over the communicator was still heroic: "Don't worry, head." ”

Ai Lan had already returned to the back of the rock at this time, she walked out from behind the rock, raised her head, and thought, "The divination result should be here, and the time for calculation should have come, why is it not yet." When Ai Lan was puzzled by the results of his divination, the mercenaries who were in charge of cleaning the battlefield fell down one after another, and one of the mercenaries that Ai Lan didn't know shouted at Ai Lan: "Get down." "Elan had already sensed the rapidly falling object in the sky as they had just laid down. Ai Lan hurriedly pretended to be panicked and lay on the ground.

"My divination is still quite powerful, and it is not in vain that bottle of my 'lucky potion'." Ai Lan thought to herself.

Tony Stark never felt like he was doing it so right. Although he was now plunged into the dirt, he was also glad that he had fallen into the crowd, but unfortunately, he could not get up when he saw the person lying on the ground.

"Heavily armed soldiers, corpses that haven't had time to be buried, and this pungent smell of gunsmoke, I'm not going to leave the wolf's den and enter the tiger's mouth, right?"

The mercenaries gathered around, and Tony Stark was nervous. He opened his mouth, then tried to appear fearless: "I said, should you get me out first?" ”

Leohard and Nikolai walked up to Tony Stark, their figures obscuring the sun above Tony Stark.

"You're, Tony Stark? Stark Industries' Stark? ”

"Yes, it's me, man, do you want an autograph?"

"No, I think, Mr. Stark, do you want to drink the brandy I brought?"

"Okay, but before that, I think I should sleep first."

Ai Lan in the crowd breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately nothing unexpected happened. It seems that the will of the world is really blocked, and the mental hints I have applied to Tony Stark have not caused any backlash. Next, it's time to gather information.

The convoy resumed its operation, and the destination became the nearest US military base, which, in Nikolai's words, "found him, enough for the brothers to eat for a year." ”

"Gentlemen, next time you come to New York, you can choose all the nightclubs." Tony Stark waved to Leohard and his mercenaries before getting on the plane. His words made most of the mercenaries scream, and their eyes were full of excitement.

Ai Lan, who was hiding in the crowd, was also very happy, because she got what she wanted to get, the manufacturing method of the 'Ark Reactor' and the drawings of the 'Mark One', Ai Lan also got it.

Ai Lan got what she wanted and returned to New York, and as for the mercenary, a mental hint got rid of the rest of the trouble. As soon as Elan tucked her body into the soft couch, Sarah's communication came. "Really, I've only been back for a long time, and there's something."

"Master, Tony Stark is holding a press conference right now."

"Got it." Ai Lan put away the gem and hung up the communication. "Really, isn't it just not selling weapons? I've seen it well. Although Alan muttered, she turned on the TV, and Tony Stark on the TV was full of confidence and charm. What did you look like you were dying when you were in the desert? Ai Lan said with some jealousy.

"Little Ailan, you are really"

"Why are you here?" Ailan's tone was full of dissatisfaction.

"Sister, I see that you are bored, so I will accompany you."

"I don't want you to accompany me."

It's really not cute, when I'm done with that side of things, I must educate you well. 'Ms. Bai''s thoughts Ai Lan is destined not to hear it, but Ai Lan will pay the price for her words and deeds sooner or later.

"It's all Tony Stark news, why don't you have a TV show." Ai Lan threw down the remote control in his hand, although the complaints on his lips kept stopping, he breathed a big sigh of relief in his heart: "Nothing has changed, it's really gratifying." ”

Looks like it's time for me to plan my next step, and in her magic room, Alan poured out a pile of gems, pieces of cloth, and smelted ore from the space. "Superheroes, there should be uniforms, how can superheroes without uniforms be called superheroes?" Ai Lan said to herself as she looked at the clothes that were beginning to take shape.

"I'm going crazy, I'm not going to be a superhero, I'm not wearing tights." Ai Lan grabbed her hair, and with a wave of her hand, the molded garment disappeared.

"Tights, shame." The new garment took shape in Ailan's hands. Ai Lan looked at the newly formed clothes and nodded with satisfaction, I'm a mage, so I don't want to fight them in tights. ”

The robe made by Ai Lan, the bodice design of the upper body clothing, boldly used bright fuchsia, the back is only fixed by a small strap, and the large bare back makes people feel sexy. The golden ribbon hanging from the chest has a good connection to the waist, which is a good treatment for the gap between the chest and the waist. At the same time, it also adds to the beauty of the clothes. The gauze skirt on the lower body is full of design, and the slits on both sides of the waist are the highlights. People can't help but feel that wearing this should be to attend a banquet, not to participate in a battle. "Mage, be graceful at all times." Ailan.

Ai Lan changed into a mage robe that read as a robe and writing dress, and with a wave of her hand, she made a full-length mirror out of ice. "As long as you look good, have a good figure, and wear anything!"

"Roar, little Ai Lan has started to be bad, mental fluctuations have been discovered, has little Ai Lan begun to wake up?"

"You're here? Why have you been here so often lately, are you afraid that I will be lazy and not complete the task? ”

"No. I'm just going to walk around and see you along the way. ”

"Oh? Is that so? ”

"Of course."

Ai Lan didn't want to entangle this issue with Ms. Bai, so she changed into a long skirt and picked up the black cloak on the side and put it on her body.

"I'm going out, I'm going to fight little monsters, you want to follow me?" Ai Lan said to the 'White Lady' who had hidden her figure in the void.

"I don't care what you do when you go out, but you have to put on your shoes."

As soon as the words of 'White Lady' fell, Ai Lan's bare feet were filled with a pair of high heels made of moon stones. The fair skin with moon-white high heels looks elegant and generous. There is no trace of artificiality in the shoes, which are obviously the handiwork of the 'White Lady' herself.

"Thanks." Ai Lan used the flash spell to leave the room.
