Chapter 24: The Gambling
"Arrogant boy, are you looking for death?"
With an angry roar, a warrior led by the crowd of orc mercenaries immediately walked out and rushed forward viciously with an axe. The rest of the orc mercenaries www.biquge.info pen & fun > pavilion also took up their weapons one after another, with a fierce look in their eyes, which meant that they were fighting in groups.
Ron, the warrior of the Iron Blood Mercenary Regiment, glanced at it lightly, put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and snorted coldly with a calm face: "I'm not mistaken, it seems that Valen can't even maintain order in a small mission camp?"
"Wait!"
The orc officer, who was originally watching coldly, heard Ron's words from afar, and his heart sank, and he immediately drank the provocative orc warrior. Ron is the core figure of the Iron and Blood Mercenary Group, and this mission represents the Iron Blood Mercenary Group, even if the Valen City Lord himself is present, he will be very respectful. Since the orc officer is in charge of maintaining order in the mission camp, once Ron goes to Valen to express his dissatisfaction because of this matter, he will definitely be punished heavily.
"Lord Ron, are you prepared to defend this arrogant boy?"
The leader of the orc mercenaries who rushed up was stopped by the orc officer, angrily put away the axe that was about to split at Relos, looked back at his partner who was still lying on the ground, and asked with an angry fist on Ron.
No matter where in the Orc Empire, a B-rank mercenary like Wren who came from the iron-blooded mercenary group and was a master on the mercenary power list himself, the B-rank mercenary of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, should show enough awe. Therefore, no matter how fierce and aggressive these orc mercenaries were, they didn't dare to provoke Ron easily.
Ron glared at the orc mercenaries fiercely, "If you must test this young man's strength, I have no objection. Still, fight with the glory you orcs deserve, not this filthy trick. ”
"The mercenary group of the Orc Empire should always maintain its most basic glory!"
The leader of the orc mercenaries blushed slightly, stood still in front of Relos, and said loudly: "Young man, Brooke, the leader of the blood wolf team of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Regiment, challenge you!"
Relos smiled, "What good will I do if I am unfortunate enough to defeat you, brave orc warrior?"
"You know, I'm just a D-class mercenary, and you're already a famous B-class mercenary regiment soldier. ”
"You hurt my partner, and you deserve to be punished. ”
Orc Brooke roared.
"Oh, then, who's coming over with a wine glass to provoke?"
"That's just a friendly greeting!"
Brooke said bruisedly.
"Warriors should not use their mouths to distinguish between winners and losers!"
Ron snorted dissatisfied, obviously very dissatisfied with Relos's refusal to fight.
"I propose that, according to the rules of the gladiatorial arena, the challenger should take the bet. ”
An Ao, who was watching from the sidelines, stood up with a gentle smile on his face: "All the spectators can bet on the fighter they like to win." ”
Relos looked at An'ao in surprise, with a look of embarrassment: "This doesn't seem to be good." On the other hand, he had already gotten up and grabbed the broadsword placed on the table. In An'ao's words: the mouth says don't don't, but the body is very honest!
Brooke turned back to his friends and yelled, "Did you hear it?" and brought all the money to Lao Tzu. ”
Soon, the orc mercenary ran up to Brooke with a pile of money bags. Brooke poured all the money in his purse onto the table in front of Relos. The silver coins were mixed with the copper coins, and there was a small pile. Relos's first instinct was: fuck, B-class mercenaries are too much richer than they are.
"You wait a minute. ”
Relos gestured for Orc Brooke to stop, and secretly leaned over to Gui'er, who was sitting in the theater, "How much money do we have?"
"Ten silver coins, all our possessions. ”
"So little? well, when I didn't say. You press me all to win. ”
"I think I should press that orc big man. ”
“......”
"He's a B-class mercenary. ”
"Fart!"
"Okay, if you lose, you can wash all my panties this month!"
"How could I possibly lose?"
"I think it's possible. ”
"Well, 7 days. ”
"15 days. ”
"Deal!"
Relos hatefully lifted his broadsword and walked towards Brooke with a look of righteous indignation: "The honor of being a warrior, I accept your challenge. ”
The little goblin Lola propped her hands on the table with an adoring face, supported her chin, and looked at Relos blankly: "So handsome!"
An'o suddenly stood up and stood between Relos and Brooke, stopping the two from starting a fight.
"Wait a minute, such a wonderful battle, you two don't mind letting everyone add some more color. ”
Ann Ao grinned and motioned for Brooke and Relos to wait a few minutes, then turned around and shouted to the people in the camp, "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet. ”
An'o then pointed to Brooke, who was two meters tall and stout like a tyrannosaurus.
"This brave orc warrior, many people present must know him, the brave orc warrior Brooke from the Wolf Mercenary Regiment! He thinks that our D-class mercenary warrior is not qualified to participate in this exploration mission, and with the honor of the orc warrior, he issued a challenge. ”
"Oh!oh~wo~"
The heckling orcs immediately cheered feverishly.
"Beat him! Knock that human boy down!"
Most of the orc mercenaries in the camp got up and cheered, and their brave and aggressive nature made all the orc warriors enthusiastic, and the originally dull mission camp seemed to have started a carnival feast
Brooke responded with the axe in his hand, slamming his left hand into his chest and howling like a beast!
"And this Relos swordsman, from the original Landis's Demon Wings D-class mercenary group, although he is only D-rank, but he actually accepted Brooke's challenge! Yes, you heard it right, he accepted Brooke's challenge!"
As soon as An Ao changed his gentle and elegant appearance, his tone was extremely passionate, and a few words ignited the emotions of the onlookers.
"I, immensely admire the courage of the Swordsman of Relos, and I bet all my possessions, fifty silver coins, on him to win this victory. For the dignity of the human warriors!
Some of the human mercenaries in the crowd were already sighing secretly, looking at Relos with pity in their eyes, what a stupid guy who couldn't help himself.
After An'ao finished speaking, he took out a money bag from his waist and poured out all the silver coins. The red-haired knight Evan quickly moved two tables, writing Relos on one side and Brooke on the other. He neatly placed An'au's fifty silver coins on the table representing Relos.
Gui'er glanced at Relos meaningfully, and also took out ten silver coins from his body and placed them on the table representing Relos, turned around and walked a few steps, then turned around and took out ten silver coins and put them over.
"He even secretly hid his private money!" Relos looked at Gui'er, gritted his teeth and clenched his broad-bladed sword, and couldn't help but surging out of his sword qi, startling Brooke, thinking that he was going to attack him.
Ignoring Relos' murderous gaze, he sat down at the table as if nothing had happened, and spread his hands at Relos and pointed to his ass.
At the instigation of An'o, the vast majority of the mission camp participated in the gamble, and more than ninety percent of the blockades were betting on Brooke's victory.
In the midst of everyone's gaze, Ron also got up and walked up to Ann, took out a gold coin, his eyes flashed, and placed it on the table representing Relos.
"Lord Ron is so optimistic about that human boy?"
For a while, whispers began to begin in the camp, and Ron, who ranked 120th in the mercenary combat power list, would not have a bad vision.
"Mixiu, aren't you going to bet?"
Ron asked his partner.
"No, I'm not going to get involved in this kind of gambling. ”
The sword made Mixiu smile and shake his head.
The people in the camp were very disappointed, and if Michaeu also bet on the victory of Relos, many of them were already planning to bet on the two masters.
Old Wizard Douglas stood up and placed ten gold coins on the table representing Relos, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. However, when everyone found out that the old mage was also from the Demon Wings mercenary group, there was another round of boos.
When Douglas passed by Relos's side, he whispered: "Her Royal Highness said that these ten gold coins were originally your task reward, if you lose,......"
"Old Fellow......"
Relos looked at Douglas's arrogant back hatefully and scolded a few words. However, the sparkling brilliance of the gold coin immediately added to the infinite fighting spirit.
Delis also threw a concerned look at Relos, who smiled slightly and nodded lightly to signal Delis to rest assured. Although Her Royal Highness the Princess knew that Relos was strong, the opponent was a B-level mercenary after all, and he was definitely not an ordinary warrior, so he was still a little worried.
"Can we start? Boy, I'm going to split your head and smash your eggs!"
Brooke raised his axe and shouted viciously at Reloth.
An'ao immediately ran away with Evan in a puff of smoke, waving as he ran, announcing that the duel could begin.
Brooke couldn't hold back his anger, and before An'ao could leave completely, he couldn't wait to pounce, raised the big axe in his hand, and slashed at Relos head-on. The big axe tiger is vigorous, and the momentum is amazing, which caused an exclamation, this is obviously a fight of life and death, where is there just a duel to distinguish the meaning of victory and defeat.
However, the folk customs of the Orc Empire have always been fierce, not to mention mercenaries, and even fights between ordinary people are often either dead or injured. So even if Relos unfortunately dies in a duel, he can only blame himself for his bad luck.
"Ding!", Leilos did not move his feet, his body leaned back, and the broad-bladed sword in his right hand came first, and he stabbed with a backhand, and the target turned out to be the winger of the axe blade.
The axe that slashed head-on was a little sharpened by the sword, and immediately deviated from its direction, slashing diagonally next to Relos's side.
In the eyes of everyone, Relos seemed to be crushed into a disadvantage in the first shot, and he could only rely on the flexible dodge of his body.
Only Brooke himself felt the tremendous power coming from the tip of the sword, and there was wariness in his eyes.
"Take me another axe and try it!"
Brooke's axe was not exhausted, his body sank slightly, the tiger's body twisted, the big axe turned into a slash, and he slashed at Relos with both axes in his hands.
Relos seemed to have sensed Brooke's attack, and volleyed backwards, quickly dodging it.
"Coward, are you just going to avoid and not fight?"
Brooke shouted loudly and pressed closely, axe after axe, forcing Relos to retreat one after another, causing a deafening cheer from the orc mercenaries.
Brooke laughed wildly, lifted his axe and chased after him, slashing three axes in quick succession.
Hundreds of pounds of steel axes, sharp and rapid attacks do not seem to be sluggish at all, and the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group is obviously not in vain.
Strangely, Relos didn't dodge again this time, but swung his broadsword like lightning and blocked Brooke's offensive line.
With a sword in hand, Relos gave Brooke a meaningful smile, and suddenly turned from defense to offense, stabbing Brooke in the heart with a sword.
