When the lioness's gaze swept through the mountains and forests, a few miles away from the orc camp, halfway up the mountainside, behind a dense bush, several pairs of eyes were also watching every move in the camp.

"Lion women, what a rarity!" a sturdy man smacked the four-leaf clover in his mouth on the ground.

The man crouched behind the bushes wore a shabby-looking gray cloak and a shabby half-body leather armor covered in scars. His short blond hair, beard, and long scar from the corner of his mouth to the bottom of his eyes made him look fierce.

Keynes, the leader of the "Blue Enchantress Mercenary Regiment", is an enigmatic man. Five years ago, he and his mercenary group appeared in the border area of the Isaac Kingdom as if out of thin air, and grew from the lowest G-level mercenary group to a B-level mercenary group in only five years in one year, and it was rumored to be a miracle within the mercenary union of the Beland continent.

The promotion of the level of the mercenary group depends entirely on the points of the mission, and the higher it rises, the more difficult it becomes, and it takes decades or even hundreds of years for a newly formed mercenary group to rise to the rank of a high-level mercenary group above the C level during non-war periods. At present, almost all the mercenary groups above level B in human countries are old mercenary groups with a history of more than several decades, except for the Blue Enchantress.

"Boss, did we send it this time?" asked a small man lying on the ground next to Keynes in a low voice.

"Lucky for our 'Blue Enchantress', I didn't expect this kind of C-class mission to happen to bump into an orc tribe. Eat them, and we'll have a year to eat and drink. Keynes was also excited.

"You two are crazy, aren't you? There's a small tribe of orcs down there, and we've only had about thirty of us this time. Once discovered, these orcs have almost swallowed us. A cold voice poured cold water on Keynes.

It was a woman in a black hooded robe behind the man, and a silver six-pointed star at the collar of the robe showed her status as an intermediate magician.

Magician is a rare profession on the continent of Belland, and it is the object of competition between various kingdoms and large forces, and female magicians above the intermediate level are even rarer.

The sorceress was in her thirties, with long flaxen hair, blue eyes, a high nose, and a soft face. Perhaps because of the long years in the wild, the skin is slightly rough.

Keynes turned back to the sorceress and grinned, "Don't worry, Adeline, our Blue Enchantress's brothers are all elite mercenaries, and they are the best at hunting orcs, even if they are twice as many orcs, they can swallow them." ”

"I don't agree, it's too risky. Adeline's tone remained firm.

"I'm the regiment commander, you just have to obey the order, and then you will get an extra share of the spoils. ”

"I am also the deputy head of the mercenary group, and I am also responsible for the safety of my brothers, you are doing this brutally!"

"You are also the deputy head of the regiment appointed by me, if it weren't for the B-level mercenary group that requires that there must be intermediate or above magicians in the team, Lao Tzu wouldn't have spent so much money to invite you?" Keynes looked indifferent.

"If you insist on brute force, I'll quit the group now!" Adeline didn't compromise at all.

"Don't be so impulsive? Keynes was the first to compromise.

He had exhausted all means when he invited Adeline to join the mercenary group, and the combat power of the team of intermediate magicians had been directly upgraded to a notch, so he was naturally reluctant to let Adeline leave.

"You don't know much about the orcs. Orcs generally form tribes in groups, for example, a werewolf tribe will never have orcs from other races mixed together. And there is only one possibility for the orc mix in the camp below, that is, the tribe of high-ranking orc nobles, and only nobles can recruit orc warriors from other tribes to serve themselves. Keynes pointed to the orc camp below and patiently explained.

"Do you see the young beasts and orcs in the camp? It means that they are a noble tribe of orcs who have fled or been crippled, and they have happened here for special reasons. The number of real orc warriors in the camp is very small, and their real combat power is not even half that of ordinary orc tribes. ”

Adeline's admiring gaze was unnatural, and she had already discovered that the rough-looking man in front of her was actually very thoughtful. Now, for example, he had deduced the origin and combat power of the orc camp below just from a long distance.

Seeing Adeline's wavering expression, Keynes continued: "Orc martial arts, rare materials, blade armor, golden herbs, an orc noble camp has more wealth than you can imagine! You know that the mercenary group is in great need of money now, and I still owe half of the reward I promised you? We mercenaries are doing risky professions, if we don't dare to work hard, how can we feed women and children?"

Adeline nodded, finally refusing to object.

"Boss, it's time to change your equipment after this vote, right? Our Blue Enchantress is also a dignified B-level mercenary group, because of your equipment, boss, other mercenaries always laugh at us for being from the countryside. The little man muttered under his breath.

Keynes slapped the little man on the head heavily, "Tony, you know what a fart!" Lao Tzu's leather armor is an excellent level of enchanted leather armor, no amount of attacks can break the defense, this cloak is a dragon skin, you illiterate guys!"

"Dragonskin, blow it, how many years has it been since I saw a dragon on the mainland?" Tony pouted dissatisfiedly.

There was a sudden slight noise in the bushes.

The two men immediately stopped bickering, and Keynes placed one hand on the hilt of his greatsword behind his back, and a fireball instantly formed in Adeline's palm, and Tony rolled to the side and disappeared into the bushes.

An emaciated man in a hunting suit appeared in shape, the man's eyes were bright and sharp, and his upper lip had two neat strands of beard.

Keynes withdrew his hand from the hilt of his sword, "Angus, what's going on down there?"

Angus said slowly and unhurriedly: "The number of orc warriors does not exceed fifty, most of them are first- and second-level low-level orcs, including the lionesss and her two guards, and I found five middle-level orc warriors, but I did not find the existence of higher-level orc warriors." ”

Keynes shook his fist excitedly, "Sure enough, it's the same as I guessed!"

Angus hesitated slightly, "The only thing that is a little troublesome is that there is a group of wolf cavalry in the camp, and I am afraid that as soon as we get close to the camp, we will be smelled by their wolves." ”

Keynes smiled lightly, "Tony, it's your turn, I know you have a solution." ”

"I'm going to the forest to get some wild chrysanthemums, and the smoke from burning them with the three-colored mandala will smoke them all. Tony's voice disappeared directly into the bushes.

"Okay, let the brothers assemble, and we'll do it when it's dark. Keynes's eyes flashed with murderous intent in his eyes.
