Chapter 52: News of Frost Grass
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, summer has passed and late autumn has entered.
The late autumn dusk always comes quickly, and before the water vapor evaporated by the sun dissipates from the mountains, the sun sets into the western mountains. So, the wind in the valley carried a heavy coolness, driving away the white mist and swaying down the mountain.
The sun had set, and the churning purple glow made Don rise with a feeling of infinite sunset.
Don had just finished making candles and was about to go to Marianda's place to discuss magic, when Celt hurried to Donne's cabin with a little excitement on his face.
Don waved his hand and shouted at Celtic, "Celtic, I'm here." ”
"Don, there's news from Frost Grass now. Celtic said with a flushed face.
Hearing Celtic shouting excitedly, Don was also a little excited in his heart.
It has been ten years since Marianda entered the northern frontier, and this is not the first time that news of frost grass has been discovered. As early as ten years ago, she and Alan found the Frost Grass, but they did not compete with the Ice and Snow Church, which has many masters.
In order to change the situation, they established the Dragon's Horn Mercenary Regiment.
But since then, Marianda's good luck seems to have run out, although a few more times of news about Frost Grass was discovered, which turned out to be false news, and they all came and went.
But every time they find news of Frost Grass, they will prepare carefully and not give up the slightest opportunity.
"Does Marianda know that your news is accurate?" asked Donn, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
"I haven't had time to tell Marianda that you're the first to know. The source of the news comes from Charlie of the Lionheart Mercenary Group, and the news should be relatively accurate. Celt replied.
"The Lionheart Mercenary Regiment is small, and it doesn't look like they dare to calculate us. But we're still going to have to be careful, you and Bruce will check in again tomorrow to see what the other mercenary groups are doing. Donn said.
"I met Bernie of Huya today, and they're ready to act. Not only was Huya's heart moved, but the boss of the Iron Fire, Bazel, was also ready to lead the team. Celt continued.
The Huya Mercenary Group is also one of the three major mercenary groups near the Oxhorn Forest.
They have more than 20 professionals and more than 800 ordinary members, making them the largest mercenary group.
But their high-level combat power is not good, there is only one silver-level professional in their team, and the leader Xia Zuo is only a seventh-level bard. This kind of professional, under the rules of the Reos plane, is inferior to a warrior in melee combat and a mage in distance combat, and can only be used as a panacea.
A seventh-level bard has only the ability to be a third-level mage and a fourth-level warrior. Although he can face all kinds of complicated situations, when he encounters a seventh-level warrior, without the help of others, he has no power to fight back.
Therefore, in the ranking of mercenary groups, although Huya is outnumbered, its evaluation is at the bottom.
The Iron Fire Boss Bazel is an eighth-level barbarian, and once he goes crazy, his explosive power is comparable to that of Allen at the ninth level. There are also three silver-level professionals in the Iron Fire Mercenary Group, because Marianda is seriously injured and can only do it at night, so the ranking of the Iron Fire Mercenary Group is still above the Dragon's Horn.
But when it comes to real combat power, Dragon's Horn should be superior.
But Don and their current combat power is not as good as the Dragon's Horn period.
At that time, Allen, the mercenary group's Optimus Pillar, had died, and Todak, the backbone of the defense, had left the team. The four sixth-level professionals of Catrode, Wood, Darui, and Dondeli were also damaged.
Although the mage group has become more powerful, but on the whole, their combat power is not as good as the previous seven layers.
Moreover, the silver-level Redno is still in Torlo Province and will not be able to come back in a short time, which makes them a little less sure of winning.
"The Iron Fire and Huya families have a big business, and it is impossible to dispatch them all, so you have to keep an eye on them carefully, and by the way, see if there are any people who fish in troubled waters. Don thought for a moment and said.
"Don't worry, I've asked Richard to keep an eye on Bazel. Celtic said
In Celtic's consciousness, Bazel is still more threatening than Hazo of Huya, so Richard stares at Bazel and chooses to relax with Chazzor.
"Xia Zuo also has to keep an eye on them, they have the most people, let Bruce take someone to watch Xia Zuo. Donn said.
"I'll tell Bruce to leave tonight," Celt said.
"I'm not too worried about Huya and Tiehuo, they're mercenaries and can use money to solve problems, and we're not short of money right now. What worries me the most is the Ice and Snow Church, they have the most manpower, and if we meet someone from the church, we may not be opponents. Don said with a wry smile.
"Can you make Lucia accommodating?" asked Celtic.
"Although Lucia believes in the goddess of ice and snow, becomes her patron, and can use divine magic, she is not a descendant of the church, so she may not be able to speak. Don shook his head.
"No matter what, we have to fight for it and never give up easily. Celt said firmly.
"You're right, you go tell Bruce now and have him keep an eye on Huya, and I'll go tell Marianda and get her ready, after all, we can't only be at night this time. Donn said.
Waiting for Celt to leave quickly, Donn went straight into Marianda's cave.
A bright candle was lit in the cave, and Marianda looked very moving in a clean blue robe, carefully flipping through a magic book.
Marianda put down the book in her hand, looked at the stunned Don and laughed, "What are you looking at?"
"Look at you. ”
"I have something to look at. ”
"Beautiful women every man likes to look at, and there's nothing wrong with that. ”
"Thank you for the compliment, but this woman, though she has a beautiful face, does not have bright eyes. Marianda smiled wryly.
"The news of the Frost Grass has appeared, just deep in the Horn Forest. Don interrupted the conversation and said immediately.
"With our current strength, we don't have much confidence in competing for Frost Grass. Marianda shook her head.
"But now we have the money to join forces with the mercenaries. Donn said.
"We've been mercenaries for many years, and we know very well that mercenaries are not reliable, especially when faced with a big stake. Marianda replied.
"No one is absolutely reliable. Don said.
"No, you're the most reliable for me. Marianda whispered.
"We can contact Todak in the Emerald City. Don said
"Now that we're wanted by Coubert, Todak may not want to work with us. Marianda said.
"How do you know if you don't try, besides, we have been in contact with Todak a lot lately, and the cooperation is quite tacit. We all know that Todak needs money, and the last thing we need in our hands is money, as long as the money is given, Todak will be willing to cooperate. Donn said.
"As long as you can convince Todak to join, we'll fight for the Frost Grass. You can rest assured, in the past ten years, I have accumulated a good amount of private money in my hands, which can buy some good enchanted equipment in the Emerald City. Marianda said.
