A few sturdy bobtail deer were leisurely drinking water by the river, and when they heard a sudden commotion behind them, the alert animals quickly ran off into the distance.

One of the bold bobtail deer, after running some distance, stopped and looked back, and saw a slender human walking towards the place where they had just drank.

Shaking its head, the curious bobtail chased after its companion again.

Lilia's archery skills are the best among the Bear Mercenaries, but she's not here to hunt bobtail deer today.

"Here it is. ”

Lilia found a stake nailed to the riverbank, and following the rope tied to the stake, she lifted an oval cage from the river, and the weight of the cage made Lilia smile.

This is a cage made of thorn branches, the cage has a large belly and a small mouth, and there are inverted whiskers inside, yes, this is a shrimp pot.

"I really don't know, how can adults know such a strange way to catch shrimp, but it really works!" Lilia muttered softly with a full shrimp pot, and the upturned corners of her mouth revealed the girl's mood at this time.

"Hey, Lilia, what are you talking to yourself, are you thinking about Lord Victor again?"

A teasing voice came from behind Lilia, and Lilia was suddenly ashamed, stomped her feet and turned around and said coquettishly, "Sister Linda, what are you talking about!"

A woman wearing a leather armor and a long sword at her waist is dragging an identical shrimp pot towards Lilia, she is Linda, a mercenary of the War Bear Mercenary Regiment.

Linda is 28 years old this year, and her mercenary life in the open makes her look like she is in her 30s, although her skin is a little rough, her toned body and upright facial features give her the charm of a mature woman.

Linda is more skilled in tailoring, cooking, and first aid than her usual combat skills, and she is the logistics staff of the War Bear Mercenary Regiment, and sometimes she is also responsible for the mercenary group's intelligence gathering.

Linda is also Nelson's partner, so Lilia is very close to her, and the girl Huaichun's thoughts naturally can't hide from her.

"Is your shrimp pot full?" Seeing that Lilia was a little embarrassed, Linda changed the subject at the right time.

"Well, you see it's all half a foot long shrimp. The girl proudly raised the heavy shrimp pot to Linda.

"I'm full of this, too. Linda sighed, "Lord Victor is different from other nobles I have ever met, he designed this shrimp pot, which is really very useful, and the cooking methods he taught me are also things I have never heard of." You know what? If we stop being mercenaries in the future, we can open a bar or a hotel with the cooking skills we learned from adults, and we are guaranteed to make a lot of money!"

Speaking of which, the mercenary's eyes were shining, as if there were countless Kinsor shining.

"Why don't you become a mercenary?Sister Linda, we're now the family guards! Okay?" Lilia pouted a little unhappily.

"Alright, well, we're the family guards now. Linda sighed and said, "Let's hurry up, the adults said they would teach me how to make sizzling shrimp today, I think it must be delicious." ”

"Of course. ”

Just as the two of them were talking and laughing towards the camp, a woman's groans of pain came from the bushes not far away.

After Linda and Lilia glanced at each other, the two tacitly put down the shrimp pot in their hands, pulled out their weapons and touched the bushes one after the other.

Approaching the bushes, they heard the whimpering of the women after being gagged and the laughter of several men, and the two immediately understood what was happening in the bushes.

"Who's it, get out!" Linda shouted into the bushes as she cut off a branch with her longsword, and Lilia pointed her hunting bow at the spot where the sound was coming from in the bushes.

There was a panicked sound in the bushes, and after a while, a thief-headed man poked his head out of the bushes.

"It's Sister Linda and Lilia. Let's get the big guys out. The lewd man smiled flatteringly at Linda.

After a while, several men in leather armor emerged from the bushes, all of whom were militiamen recruited by Nelson from among the people.

"What are you doing?!" Linda asked the men in a snap of her sword, not letting go of her sword in the slightest, which made the militiamen retreat a little.

"No, nothing. The big guys just spend money and have some fun. The lewd man smiled at Linda, the sparse yellow teeth in his mouth making Linda feel particularly disgusted.

This answer relieved a few of the somewhat nervous militiamen, and the sound of wheezing and flesh crashing into the already silent bushes resounded.

A flash of green light flashed across Linda's face, the sword in her hand took an offensive stance, and Lilia drew her hunting bow to the brim.

"Call the people inside out for me, too!" Linda's cold voice sent chills down the bandwagon spine.

After a while, a tall, strong man came out of the bushes with a disheveled woman.

His name was Logan, and he was the leader of a small group of militiamen, and he was in charge of three militiamen, and a good thing was interrupted, much to the displeasure of this rude fellow. He pushed the woman in his hand to the ground in front of Linda and spat on the ground with disdain.

"Can't we spend money to have some fun, bitch, tell Miss Linda what's going on!" Logan yelled viciously at the woman on the ground.

"yes. We spent a lot of money. ”

"She's the one who came out to sell!"

Logan's tough attitude made his subordinates fearless.

"I, I took their money. The woman on the ground tugged at her clothes, trying to cover her bruised body, and whispered.

Lilia sighed inwardly and let go of her full bow.

She knew that this woman was a farmer's wife and had two children, but she couldn't control this kind of thing.

"Can we go, Sister Linda!" Logan said jokingly.

Looking at the woman who was constantly trembling and silently weeping on the ground, Linda's eyes were a little red, which reminded her of her sister.

When Linda was young, her parents died of illness one after another, and it was her sister who supported her by tailoring.

The helpless sisters were coveted by the gangsters in the town, and finally one day several hooligans broke into their home, and after some threats and beatings, her sister was **.

From then on, the sisters' nightmare began, and the scoundrels came to insult her sister every now and then, and after each violence, the scoundrels laughed and threw down a copper sol or two, and walked away.

Some unsightly neighbors reported to the sheriff, but these scumbags claimed that her sister was a wandering warbler and that they were just having fun. After presenting a filial piety to the sheriff, the matter naturally came to an end.

In order to raise Linda, who was still young, her sister had to endure in silence.

Until one day, someone found her sister's scarred body in a stinking gutter.

As a lowly free citizen, the official naturally does not seek justice for them.

Linda, who was already sensible by then, escaped from her home overnight, and with the help of her kind neighbors, she was taken in by a circus, and after a few rounds she joined the War Bear Mercenary Regiment, where she learned how to use the sword to protect herself and others.

Linda thought about revenge, but when she returned, she found that the town had been razed to the ground by the Sassians.

But she had not forgotten her sister's humiliated and fearful eyes, just like this woman.

She also didn't forget her sister's scarred body, just like this woman.

She hasn't forgotten the ugly faces of those hooligans, just like Logan!

"Die!"

The sword flew, just as she had thought countless times.

The birds in the woods were startled into the air by this sudden revenge, and flew off into the distance with a loud chirp.

Linda stood there, letting the blood from her sword drip downward.
