Volume 1 The Beginning of the Edge Chapter 13 Fierce Battle (3)
The mission failed, and it was Moss and the others who failed, because the magic really didn't allow them to fight a protracted war.
Moss ordered his men to retreat, if it was a little later, they might all be left here, Moss and the others were unwilling to leave, while Jason and the others began to clean up the battlefield with sadness.
With his tenacious will and strong strength, the lightning wolf led by Jason drove Moss and the others away, but before leaving, Remid, who had recovered slightly, made up a big fireball in the direction of the cargo, and Walter used a giant sword to block part of the impact, which made the cargo not all damaged.
Now the unconscious Soth and the seriously injured Walter are lying under the tree, and Soke is giving basic treatment to the two people, Soth is fine, but Walter is not doing well.
Colleen went to find out if the place had really left, Bulrows was still searching for the wildebeest scattered nearby, Jason commanded the caravan to begin disposing of the corpses, this time the battle was fought with the exception of four members of the Florence team, and a few other unlucky caravan members were killed, and the others survived, but the cargo was partially destroyed.
Sock was sitting on the men with simple treatments, Byron was working on the sidelines, and everyone was busy regrouping, and there was no time to grieve for them.
They dug simple graves, buried several people in them, and erected wooden plaques made of thick branches with their names written on them.
Byron also had some feelings in front of Furence, from the time he approached the job of a supporter, he was initially rejected by most people, because of his inexperience, young age, and mysterious unknown mask.
However, Ference didn't care about this, from the very beginning his support work was completed with the help of Ference, how to deal with the corpse of the monster in order to preserve it perfectly, where to cut it, and those important parts to keep intact, all of which he gave to Byron.
Therefore, Ference is equivalent to Byron's good friend and mentor, a cheerful and enthusiastic person, completely different from the treacherous adventurers he usually meets.
However, such a good captain, now a few meters away from him can never see him again, Byron did not cry, his experience and experience made him strong, but the hole in his heart could not be filled.
Sock walked up to Byron's side, patted Byron on the shoulder, and paused for a moment before saying, "It's time to go." ”
Ference's death today is for Byron and others to live better tomorrow, and they must live well for their sake.
The most important thing at the moment is to be quick and send the goods to North El City before the second wave of the opponent's attack arrives.
And tonight is destined to be sleepless.
......
Byron was shocked by the prosperity of North Eyre City, and this was the first time he had come to such a big city outside South El City.
In the early morning, the streets are bustling with shouts, discussions, and quarrels.
Since there are people to answer in advance, as soon as they enter the city gate, there are special docking personnel to accept all the goods, and arrange accommodation for Jason and other people to facilitate their rest.
Byron took back his backpack and carried a cloth-covered wind rat cage in his hand, and as soon as the cage was placed on the table, there was a panicked "squeak" sound of the wind rat, and it seemed that he was still alive and well.
Byron first bathed and changed clothes, and then went downstairs for a while, where Jason and the others were already sitting and waiting for them, a hearty breakfast was already on the table, and the surrounding people were familiar caravan members.
Obviously, this breakfast table was prepared for them alone, and now that it was past breakfast, Sock beckoned Byron to sit down, and there was no sign of Soss, it seemed that he still needed to recover.
When the meal was over, Jason began to pay the crowd, which they had received from their employers, but more than they had asked for, and the extra money was actually made up by Jason out of his own pocket.
Byron also received the full reward of 400 gold for the escort mission, and then Jason distributed it to the others and threw the final gold bag into Byron's hand.
"Give it to their loved ones, I hope it will help them. After Jason finished speaking, he turned to everyone and said, "Okay, everyone's task has been completed, it's time to rest, and if you want to visit North El City, go and have fun." ”
Byron pinched the gold bag in his hand, stared at it with his eyes, and secretly said in his heart that the other party would be so convinced that he would hand over all the rewards to him, and he must hand over these gold coins to the hands of Florence and their relatives and friends.
Sock appeared on Byron's left side at this time, put his hand on Byron's right shoulder from behind, and said, "Let's go, take you for a walk." ”
Byron nodded, and was dragged out of the hotel by Sock.
North Aire City is divided into several large districts, among which the most patronized is the trading area, and the largest area of the trading area is still ordinary traders and shops, and a small part of the area is the auction venue of the large chamber of commerce, which is not large, but the decoration is prosperous and luxurious, and only the purple card that holds its status symbol can enter.
Byron was taken to an area where there were many stalls to be traded, and Sock pointed to the countless items placed underneath and said, "This is a place I like to come to, and I can find a lot of unexpected good things here, and the price is very low." ”
"But you have to be careful about the goods, and the time must be early, if it is late, the good things will be picked up. After Sock's explanation, Byron also knew about the situation.
This should be similar to gambling stones, items are scattered around, whether it is a treasure or a waste, it takes a certain amount of luck and eyesight to judge, but it is also a little interesting.
Next are some regular shops, all kinds of shops, but the price is much higher than the previous stalls, but the value is also very stable.
Sock took Byron into a herb shop, where the owner was a middle-aged man, and when he saw Sock's arrival, he smiled and welcomed him, and it seemed that he was a regular customer.
"It's a little late today, Sock. The middle-aged shopkeeper joked that Soke was very diligent in visiting the trading area on weekdays, mainly for the sake of team purchases.
Sock is a supporter, and he doesn't need to take the initiative to tell Byron about this matter, and Byron has already guessed it, so both of them tacitly agree not to mention it.
"Today I'm back from a mission, so I'm a little late. Sock replied, looking at the bottled herbs in the shop, picking up a bottle from time to time to take a closer look.
"Who is this?" asked the middle-aged shopkeeper, noticing that Soctor had brought someone with him today.
"This is my friend, the first time I've been in town, I've taken him around. The middle-aged shopkeeper responded, and hurriedly introduced the good quality of the herbs in his store to Byron, which may be a potential customer, but he can't miss it.
