It wasn't until the last bandit disappeared from sight and rushed down the hillside that Alder and the others, who were on guard, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and for a while they only felt weak.

All the qiē is like a nightmare.

If it weren't for the corpses scattered in the forest, the overturned carriage and the discarded swords, I am afraid that they would not dare to believe that the qiē they had just experienced were all reality.

Alder's Blazing Light Squad took over the task of guarding the dwarven caravan in the southern port of Gaolong.

In the past few months, the situation on the mainland can be described as changing.

First, Lulian won a miraculous victory, annihilating the southern legion of the Philip Empire, and Sophia swung her army south, recovering the fallen southern cities, and completely dispelled the shadow of war from the sky of Lulian.

After that, there was the demon invasion.

The province of Mostok of the Pompeii Empire didn't survive even a month before it fell into the hands of the demons. And the demon army that came out of the huge blood cocoon is advancing in all directions of the Salvation Continent. Conquer the city all the way, invincible.

It is said that now in the north of the mainland, it is already a miserable and chaotic scene.

The invading demons slaughtered every human in sight, destroying every city, and everywhere they passed, corpses were strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed.

This is a war between two races that are mortal enemies. No mercy, no compromise. Both sides understand that this war will not end until the other is completely exterminated. Whether humans fall into the hands of demons, or demons fall into the hands of humans, the end is just as miserable.

Therefore, no one will leave anything to chance.

In the direction that the demon soldier is pointing. Tens of thousands of human beings have fled their homes to escape the fighting.

They drove the wagons and carried the packages on their backs. Helping the old and the young, for that glimmer of hope to live, they have traveled a long way. Long lines of refugees. The mountains are all over the wilderness, and they are endless.

The flames of war soon shattered the ecological balance of the Redeeming Continent.

Food is in short supply, epidemics are rampant, and public order is deteriorating. Many refugees did not die at the hands of the demons, but died from disease, starvation, and the swords of bandits.

Compared with the north, the south of the mainland is relatively peaceful.

After all, this place is far away from the Demon Invasion of Mostock, for a while. The flames of war can't be burned here.

In particular, Lulian, who had been ravaged by war before, has become a paradise in the eyes of many people. This was originally a famous grain producing area of the Solan Empire, the land is fertile, and it is close to the coast and the Warcraft Mountains, rich in seafood and all kinds of mountain goods, it is simply rich.

What's more, more than a year of war has greatly reduced the population of Lulian.

The population is small, but there is still so much arable land. This also means: With some time to recuperate, Lulian can become a haven of refuge.

Therefore, this month, many noble families. The merchant groups, chaebols, and mercenary groups all poured into Lulian. Trying to take advantage of the fact that the Lulian War was just over and was in ruins. Let's get a piece of the pie. Lay a foundation for future expansion and operation.

And as the Ice Star Mercenary Group, which has been operating in Lulian for many years. Naturally, it is not to be left behind. With a single order from the higher-ups, dozens of mercenary squads in the mercenary group will be placed. All of them were sent to the south to build branches and develop business. And the Blazing Light team is in charge of the port of Gaolong.

The battle against the Black Skull Bandits when he escorted the Flint Consortium to Muni City made the Blazing Light Team famous.

In the days that followed, both the Flintstone Consortium and the Cactus Merchant Group handed over a lot of their caravans' health care intentions to the Ice Star Mercenary Regiment. This made Alder rise through the ranks of the mercenary group, and he is now the captain of the Blazing Light Mercenary Brigade of the Ice Star Mercenary Regiment. There are hundreds of mercenaries under his command.

This business was taken over by Alder himself.

When these dwarves went to Gaolong Harbor, they bought some not very precious daily necessities, which did not attract much attention, and the price of hiring mercenaries was really good, and it happened that Alder was going to go to Muni City, and he thought that it was just a stop, so he nodded and agreed.

But what he didn't expect was that this seemingly dangerous mission turned into a nightmare.

No sooner had they passed Fjord than they were attacked by dozens of bandits. fought all the way and fled, and by the time they arrived here, their two mercenary squads had already lost half of them, and they had suffered heavy casualties.

After being a mercenary for so many years, if you want to say that Alder has little eyesight, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

As soon as he fought with the other party, he could already see that these bandits were disguised by knights in the army. At the same time, the target of these people is not the goods in the wagon, but the dwarven employers. As soon as it came up, it was a posture of rushing to kill everything.

This judgment made Alder almost hopeless.

Although the Ice Star Mercenary Group is also a well-known group in the mercenary world, in terms of strength, where can it compete with the army.

And to be able to mobilize the knights in the army, what a powerful force the mastermind behind it has. Erasing two small mercenary squads is like pinching two ants to death. I'm afraid that after the incident, an invisible black hand will cover it, and the Ice Star Mercenary Group won't even be able to investigate the truth.

Being a mercenary as a guard was originally to play with his head, and Alder was not afraid of death. But he didn't want his boys to die in vain.

What Alder didn't expect was that at the most dangerous time, a young mercenary who had never known anything in his life saved himself and everyone here.

At this moment, when the bandits left, they turned their heads to look at the strange young man on the hillside, Alder and everyone around him, and there was only endless fear and gratitude in their eyes.

"Thank you......" Older walked up to Roy, knelt on one knee, caressed his chest with his right hand, bowed his head, and saluted this life-saver with the highest courtesy of a mercenary, "My esteemed gentleman, you have saved the lives of all of us. ”

Behind him, Shara also led a group of mercenaries to kneel on one knee.

The young mercenaries looked at Roy with awe in their eyes. Especially Trek, who is a bow and arrow hunter, has a fiery adoration in his eyes.

You know, just a few minutes ago, they saw three Glory Knights with their own eyes. Shot off his horse by this young mercenary who looked to be in his twenties.

The nine arrows that were as fast as lightning and as devastating as withering. To this day, it is still replayed repeatedly in their minds, and their hearts are fluttering.

"You're welcome. I also happened to pass by here, and the road was uneven. Roy helped Alder to his feet and smiled.

"We are mercenaries of the Blaze Light Brigade of the Ice Star Mercenary Regiment, my name is Alder, and this is my wife Shala......" Alder was not pretentious, he simply stood up, and after introducing the members of the mercenary group to Roy, he pointed to the six dwarves who were staring at Roy with a curious face, "This is our employer." Tie Xiaoli, Tie Xiaohuo, Tie Xiaoshan, Tie Xiaoxia, Tie Xiaohammer, Tie Xiaotang ......"

As he spoke, Alder turned his head to look at Roy: "I don't know ...... benefactor."

Alder's later words were ignored by Roy. He looked at the dwarves in amazement, unable to believe his ears.

Nobody knows. How familiar Roy used to be with these names.

The dwarves are divided into different tribes according to different dungeons. And the surname of each tribe is different. As far as Roy knew, there was the Stone Division. Iwabe, Yamabe, Kanebe. Tin and so on and so on. And ten years ago, the dungeon where he lived. It is the Iron Department Dungeon.

All the dwarves in this tribe have the surname Tie. And these guys with no imagination. The method of choosing a name is also extremely strange.

Take, for example, the name Iron Hammer.

Iron Hammer has a younger brother named Iron Axe. Roy also knew. They also knew their father. It is said that before Tie Xiaohammer was born, his father's name was Tie Xiaoqiang. After Xiao Hammer was born, his father's name was changed to Tie Zhongqiang. And his grandfather was originally called Tie Zhongzhen, and after Xiao Hammer was born, he changed his name to Tie Dazhen.

Little Hammer also had a great-grandfather named Iron Old Brick.

The old, large, and small are the four generations of the dwarven tribe. As soon as you hear the name, you know that they are from that generation. Further up, it is the ancestors who will remove the word in the middle.

Roy used to be a little weird. After all, it is not uncommon for two brothers of the same generation to get married and have children ten years apart. In case Tie Xiaohammer gets married and has children first, and is promoted to Iron Hammer, what will his younger brother Tie Xiaoaxe do? Is it called Tie Zhong Axe or continues to be called Xiao Axe?

At that time, Roy was only seven or eight years old, and this kind of problem was really a little profound for him, and he was dizzy and couldn't come up with a result.

Later, when he left the dungeon, this question became a mystery in his heart. I've been thinking about going back to the dungeon when I have time, so I have to solve it.

But what Roy didn't expect was that he heard these familiar names here.

Roy's gaze swept over the face of the dwarf looking up at him. Although he hadn't seen each other for ten years, he still saw the familiar eyebrows and eyes from this face at the moment.

Little Cannon Fight Boy Scouts!

My own childhood playmate!

Roy's heart began to beat faster. Looking at these familiar and unfamiliar faces, if he didn't know that his current identity couldn't be revealed, he was afraid that he would have rushed up and given these guys a fierce hug

It's been ten years, and these dwarven playmates have grown up.

Although the four boys are short, they are all big and round-waisted. The immature apple faces of those years had matured with the years, all of them had beards, and their faces were stunned and fierce, similar to the appearance of their father that Roy had seen back then.

Tie Xiaoxia and Tie Xiaotang are a little more delicate. However, just look at the giant axes weighing at least seventy or eighty kilograms in their hands, and no one will underestimate their strength.

"Hey, haven't you seen a dwarf?" Tie Xiaoshan saw this human young man staring at him with a strange expression, and said in a rough voice, "Look at us like this again, be careful that I beat you." At most, you will be lighter for a while, and you will not be killed. By the way, what's your name?"

Alder and the others next to him all glared angrily at the dwarf. No one expected that they would be saved by others, and these dwarves would talk to their benefactors like this.

The most ridiculous thing is to beat people. Fuck, don't look at people's strength.

Can you hit three glorious knights with a few arrows, and beat you dwarfs like playing?

However, Roy knew how well the dwarf's personality was, and he didn't get angry when he heard this, he smiled and casually said his pseudonym: "My name is Leo!" ...... (To be continued......)
