Let this group of magicians voluntarily join the escort team this time, this is the only good news that Lin Jue has heard in the past few weeks, perhaps because of the light of this good news, and with it, there is another news, that is, the leader of the Crazy Dragon Mercenary Group, Werther is coming to Phoenix.

According to Gerhia, the purpose of his coming to Phoenix City was to make a special trip to Lin Jue to discuss this escort mission, which is of course good news.

After all, if the other party didn't have the idea of participating in this escort mission, it would definitely be impossible to make a special trip, since Wittken himself proved that the mercenaries could still be counted on.

Time is passing fast, and as time passes, all parties are getting ready.

The dwarves of the Icefield Kingdom sent an envoy to accompany them, and Iron Hammer joined the escort team with twenty snow wolf knights, and the group of magicians who were rescued by Gloria also passed the mage level appraisal and became official mages, and under the leadership of the emir, the great mage, a magician entourage was formed.

Lin Jue also asked Bi Fang to draw ten soldiers with good marksmanship from the line infantry team and let them join the escort team, which was personally led by Liu Xun, the commander of the infantry team.

Theoretically, such an escort team can already walk sideways in the southern forest, but this is only theoretical, in fact, no one knows the combat effectiveness of this team, and the snow wolf knights are drawn from the snow wolf knights who have experienced a hundred battles in the dwarves, so there should be no big problem.

Those ten gunners, although they didn't know how useful the muskets could be in the forest, but after all, these people had been trained in the army before, and they didn't think they would lose to those snow wolf knights in terms of morale.

The only trouble, I'm afraid is these magicians, even if they are the top students of the Academy of Magic, no matter what, they are just a group of newly graduated children, who have never experienced actual combat, don't look at them now full of confidence, that look seems to say, even if a giant dragon comes, they have the ability to slaughter it, but what will happen in reality, no one can say.

Time flew by, and four days later, the leader of the Dragon Mercenary Regiment, Witt M. K, finally in Phoenix.

He didn't come alone, but behind him, there were more than twenty mercenaries, all dressed in different clothes, including warriors in plate armor, archers in leather armor, and magicians in magic robes.

Although they were dressed in a variety of clothes and looked extremely untidy, they were all fully armed, and more than twenty people marched in together, which was very powerful. Looking at that spiritual head, except for the mercenaries who have personally experienced the crisis of life and death, ordinary people can't show it at all.

Of course, although their dress and temperament added points to the momentum they brought them, this momentum was not brought by these two points, but more than ten earth dragons marching neatly under their bodies.

The Earth Dragon is actually a race of dragons, a type of magical creature that has enhanced skin magic resistance and skin-strengthening magic.

Due to the fact that there is a very faint trace of dragon blood in the body of the earth dragon, their size is also very large.

From a distance, it looks like ten tanks on the march, and everywhere it passes, a large cloud of dust is raised on the dirt-paved road, and the pressure brought by it is naturally not to be underestimated.

However, when Lin Jue, who was standing on the tower of the city gate, saw these earth dragons, his expression was always a little strange, as if he wanted to laugh, but he was trying to suppress this smile, and his face was flushed.

In the eyes of others, these are ten powerful earth dragons, but in his opinion, these are ten huge lizards.

Different from the long body of ordinary lizards, these ten earth dragons are like fat people in the lizard world, and their bodies are very bloated, if it weren't for their huge size, as well as the muscles like bat wings at the junction of their forelimbs and body, maybe Lin Jue would really think that this is a group of lizards.

Because the size of the creature is too large, it is destined to be unable to enter a place with complex terrain such as the forest, and this time Witt and the others only used it as a means of transportation, and they did not think of taking this group of big lizards into the forest.

The mercenaries of the dragon mercenary group, except for Werther, the others were two or three people riding the same dragon, they came to the gate of Phoenix City and stopped, two mercenaries gathered the earth dragons outside the city, and were feeding them to prevent them from attacking the pedestrians entering and leaving the city gate.

The other mercenaries followed their commander to the gates.

The two sides greeted each other, and in the end, the place where Lin Jue and Werther talked was determined at the Sycamore Tree Bar, and the other mercenaries went to the branch of the Dragon Mercenary Group to rest.

The two found a window seat in the bar and sat down facing each other.

Lin Jue was looking at the legendary mercenary, and Werther was also looking at the young governor.

The two of them just looked at each other, not saying a word, their faces expressionless, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

It wasn't until the elf waiter brought the drink that the two of them ordered that the silence was broken.

"I've seen you before and heard about you. Werther was the first to speak.

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Me too." ”

"I heard that you have slain dragons before?" Lin Jue asked.

Hearing this, Witt didn't show anything, just said: "It's just a fluke, I almost lost my life that time." ”

"What about the girl who was like a flame, the same one I fought last time in Dawn, I remember, she should have been following you all the time, right?" asked Werther.

Hearing this, Lin Jue fell silent, and his expression instantly darkened.

Naturally, he knew who Werther was asking, the girl he had deliberately forgotten, Phoenix.

Lin Jue didn't want to answer this question, and took a deep breath, as if this would make him feel better, but that gloomy look couldn't escape Werther's eyes after all, and he knew that he had to say more.

"I heard the mercenaries talk about you, they said that you were in danger, not in a hurry, personally led 3,000 soldiers, on this only five meters high city wall, fought to the death against more than 10,000 jungle goblins, and saved tens of thousands of civilians in the city. ”

Lin Jue laughed self-deprecatingly: "What is a decisive battle to the death, when the city was first built, the address was not chosen well, and when winter came, the water and land routes would not work, and there was no way to escape." ”

Witt shook his head and said, "At least, you didn't choose to run away. ”

Lin Jue was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a long time before he figured out the meaning of this sentence.

What Witte probably wanted to say was: "At least, you didn't give up on the soldiers and civilians in this city." ”

Before Lin Jue could speak, at this time, a mercenary came down from the upper floor and handed a parchment roll to Werther.

Lin Jue cast a curious gaze, and at a glance, it turned out to be a bounty commission issued by the Mercenary Guild, and the commission in Werther's hand was issued by himself.

Witt waved the parchment scroll in his hand and said, "This task, our dragon mercenary group has already undertaken, I don't know when the employer plans to leave?"

Lin Jue was stunned and said, "Didn't you say that you would discuss it first?

Witt smiled: "Let's discuss it slowly on the road, I came to pick up the task myself." ”
