Chapter 5 Chapter 5 When the Pursuit Meets the Pursuit
The war in Camlando in recent years has caused various emergencies and the number of mercenaries to rise sharply, and the mercenary guild camps set up in towns have many affairs, which makes the mercenary guild increasingly overstretched. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This also caused many mercenaries to start skipping the mercenary guild and start accepting private employment. Of course, even after such a task is completed, it cannot be certified by the Mercenary Guild, and the level of individuals and the Mercenary Guild cannot be improved.
The old mayor's straightforwardness made Relos a little embarrassed, and he looked at Gui'er, who was speechless, and knew that he couldn't count on that guy to express any opinions, negotiate or anything, and he was always alone.
"This, cough, cough, as a mercenary of Camrando, it is also incumbent upon me to accept such a private task of protecting the weak. Don't worry, we'll leave it to you. Remuneration or something, you just say it casually, you really don't have to worry too much. ”
Relos Liso loaded the silver coin, shouldered his broad-bladed sword, and got up to greet Gui'er: "Start work, go back to the hotel and sleep, and tomorrow morning, let us go to the thieves' lair." ”
Gui Er looked at the sky outside the window, walked out of the tavern and sniffed hard, closed his eyes and felt the speed of the stroke in the air, frowned and said, "The weather is not too good, if you want to follow the path of the thieves to their lair, I'm afraid you will have to catch up with them overnight tonight." Otherwise, if you're unlucky, if it rains at night, it won't be easy to track tomorrow. ”
Orc tracking is very famous in Camlando, and Roser is the best of them. Relos never doubted the abilities of his companions at this point. After a brief tidying up, he followed Gui'er on the road.
Lily, a red-eyed tavern girl, caught up with her, blushing and secretly handing Relos a jug of morning dew, and was overwhelmed by a charming smile reciprocated by Relos, and her little heart was crispy and numb. After a long time, Lily stood outside the tavern, watching the two young and tall figures at the end of the mountain road outside Shiva until they faded into the twilight.
"It's nice to be young!"
Old Siwa half-squatted at the door of the tavern and watched the two backs go away, grinning with emotion while feeling sorry for the large pot of morning dew wine that was given out by his daughter.
The continent of Camlando is littered with demonic forests, most of which don't have their own names. These inaccessible forests are named Demon Domain after the magical beasts with various attributes. As long as you are lucky enough, the wind-attributed Demon Wolf Wind Fang, the giant mutant wasp, the earth-attribute Demon Tyrannosaurus, the highly poisonous Blood Python, etc., may often be encountered in the Demon Forest.
To the north of Siwa Town is such a demonic forest, located in the middle of nowhere, all kinds of broad-leaved forests and vines are extremely lush, and demonic beasts are infested and inaccessible. What most people don't know is that the thieves who have been frequented recently have their camps hidden in this demonic forest.
The fat broad-leaved leaves were still rolling with dewdrops, and the few rays of sunlight in the early morning pierced the misty mist, and the morning light quietly fell. The sun dappled down on the forest, and after passing through the unusually luxuriant foliage, there was not much left. In the Demon Forest, even the marginal areas are always cold and damp.
Six or seven embarrassed figures, stumbling through the woods, their coarse cloth clothes soaked with sweat, occasionally stopped, holding on to the trunk of the tree and gasping for breath. The leader turned his head to look behind him, and after making sure that no one was chasing him, he lay on his back on the ground, gasping for breath and resting with his eyes closed, and was reluctant to get up again.
"Damn, how could you be unlucky enough to meet Demon Wings!"
One of the thieves complained angrily: "Even Boss Leah is dead, and the boss's anger will definitely be vented on us." ”
"I've never seen that terrifying sword and archery before. ”
The other thief closed his eyes with trepidation: "I'm lucky enough to be able to escape." No matter what the leader does, he won't kill us. ”
"It's all to the villagers, those blind buns, it must be the demon wings they hired to deal with us. Wait, when we tell the leader, we'll kill everyone in this town!"
The thief said viciously, gritting his teeth and slamming his fist to the ground, looking back in the direction of Varan with a fierce look.
"It's a pity that you don't have a chance. ”
The lazy voice came from the trees calmly and clearly, and although it had only been heard once, this familiar voice was like the whisper of death, and it made the thieves tremble in their hearts.
More than ten meters away in the Iron Tree, Relos was sitting on a tree trunk, leisurely looking down at the thieves who were resting on the ground. With his right hand carrying a broad-bladed sword on his shoulder, and with his left hand holding a weed in his mouth, he shook his legs as if he were smiling.
I didn't see the half-orc Gui'er.
But after seeing the ghostly archery, Gui'er, who did not appear, made people feel more chills down his spine than appearing in front of everyone.
The thieves lying on the ground jumped to their feet, clenched their weapons as if they were facing a great enemy, and looked at Relos in the trees with pale faces.
"Relos Celeste. The second time we meet, please take care of it. ”
The young man on the tree nodded slightly, greeted him gently, and was as humble as the noble children in the capital: "It's a pity that out of responsibility for the civilians of Warin Town, I have to kill you, it's a pity." ”
After running away all night, but still not getting rid of the pursuit of the demon's wings, the desperate thieves knew that there was no hope of escape, and looked at Relos with resentment, raised their weapons, and made a desperate gesture.
Relos jumped down from the tree, carrying a broad-bladed sword and slowly approaching, his eyes gradually jumping with excited flames: "It's really surprising, you weren't so scared that you peed your pants, you still have a little bloody consciousness as a thief." Well, that's it, it's like death, it's the battle you look forward to!"
Relos flipped his right hand, the broad-bladed sword on his shoulder was held flat in front of his chest, the tip of the sword pointed at the thief, he took a deep breath, and prepared to strike.
The broad-bladed sword that was instantly wrapped in fighting spirit also seemed to have human nature, and the sword qi was churning and eager to try.
The desperate thieves also gritted their teeth and made a desperate gesture.
And at this moment, the leaves in the forest suddenly rattled, and a messy footstep interrupted Relos's attack, and a petite figure suddenly emerged from the dense forest, very coincidentally, just between the opposing Relos and the thieves.
"Huh?"
"It's really funny," Relos said, retracting his broadblade, looking at the sudden intruder with interest.
Her long brown-red hair is tied into a delicate braid hanging down at the back of her head, and her eyebrows and eyes are very delicate and beautiful, which belongs to the kind of girl who will feel beautiful at the first glance and immediately want to see it for the second time, wondering where the beautiful girl is. Perhaps because of her beautiful appearance, after the girl hurriedly came out of the woods, although her expression was hurried and she was covered in dust, she still did not make people feel embarrassed.
The dark green samurai costume is worn on the body, outlining the perfect curve of the figure, and the figure is just right developed at the age of the year. In Relos's words, it's just the age to pick. Strangely, the woman in the samurai costume was holding a wand that was almost the same height as her head.
Relos was a little puzzled, he often wandered around the imperial capital, and he saw at first glance that the fabric of the clothes worn by the girl was very high-end, and it was not something that ordinary civilians could afford to wear. And a thumb-sized deep sapphire crystal on the wand was obviously used to buff water magic. This is a deep sapprite, and if you throw it at the auction house, it will cost hundreds of gold coins.
However, since Camero was wiped out by Landis, and Locamia captured Landis, the declining nobles are indeed everywhere, and Relos is used to seeing them.
Before Relos could open his mouth to strike up a conversation with the beautiful girl, a group of soldiers with blades quickly chased out of the dense forest. Seeing the bauhinia patterns on the soldiers' uniforms and shields, Relos, who had always been giggling, suddenly became strange: "Lokamiya soldiers?"
As soon as the menacing soldiers rushed out, they glanced contemptuously at Relos and the thieves, and quickly surrounded the brown-haired girl.
The leader holds a spear in his hand and wears heavy armor with magical patterns that increase his defense. The entire helmet and face shield blocked the entire face tightly, and he couldn't see the face, only two eyes were exposed, and he looked at Relos and the thieves who were originally against him with confusion and contempt, and shouted majestically: "The Republic of Lokamia has captured the criminals, and everyone has dodged." ”
"Infantry captain? ”
Relos looked at the heavily armored warrior in the spear, his eyes full of interest.
Relos's attention had shifted from the thief to the girl and soldier who had suddenly appeared, apparently not paying the slightest attention to the loud intimidation of the captain of the Lokamia infantry.
The Infantry Brigade Commander was already a mid-level officer in the army group in Lokamiya, and began to play a very important role in both individual and coordinated operations.
According to Relos's previous experience in the Lokamiya Army, such an infantry captain is not something that can be transferred casually with a small matter.
Just the heavy helmets they wore that had been blessed by earth-based defensive magic had quite a good defensive effect even against the primary Douqi martial arts, while ordinary swords could only leave a white mark on the armor. Relos himself did the experiment, and he could barely break through the armor by casting two air blade slashes in a row to hit the same location with all his might.
The manufacturing cost of this kind of armor is also very high, and it takes more than three days for an earth magician and an alchemist to cooperate to carve a magic array, which is only to bless the defensive magic, not counting the time it takes for the blacksmith to forge the armor at the beginning. Therefore, in the Republic of Locamia, although it claims to be the country with the most Camlando magicians, it is unable to popularize this armor into the equipment of ordinary soldiers, and can only be equipped to the level of infantry captain.
But even so, in the battle with the Landis Empire, such an infantry captain can often lead an infantry brigade to play a very important role with his strong defense. If the battle formation of the infantry is the cornerstone of the battle of the legion, then there is no doubt that the infantry group leader is the pillar of the cornerstone.
"Hey, damn untouchables, don't you hear me, get out of the way!"
The Lokamia soldiers shouted at Relos and the thieves with some annoyance: "If you don't dodge again, kill on the spot!"
Relos put away the broadsword in his hand and placed it on his shoulder casually, ignoring the threat of the Lokamia soldiers, but whistled at the beautiful girl with brown and red hair: "That beautiful young lady, do you have gold or something of value to hire me to fight for you?"
The brown-red-haired girl looked at Relos in surprise, knowing that it was Lokamia's soldiers who were chasing her, and she was willing to help her, and the mercenaries didn't do that.
After confirming that Relos did not look like a drunkard or a psychopath, the girl said a little shyly, "I'm sorry, I don't have any money on me, oh, the pearls I tied my hair are worth a little money, but if you are willing to help me, I can promise that I will definitely pay you twice as much in the future." ”
"Deal, the pearl in your hair is mine. Now, then, please come behind me. A playful smile appeared on Relos' face, and he shook his head, motioning for the girl to stand behind him.
"Ray?"
Gui'er's figure ghostly appeared on another tree, standing on the branch with his arms crossed, looking at Relos suspiciously. Although he didn't say it, the meaning in the eyes of the orcs was: Are you crazy? That's the regular army of Lokamia.
Relos swung his sword in front of him, assumed a fighting posture, and explained softly to Gui'er without looking back: "I have my own plans for this matter. ”
Gui Er shook his head and didn't speak again, holding his arms and looking condescendingly at the Lokamiya soldiers who had already formed an offensive formation. Countless battles made him choose to be silent, because every decision of this guy seemed rash, but in fact it was well thought out.
Taking advantage of this chaotic situation, the thieves, who were originally going to fight hard, flew into the dense forest and quickly slipped away.
