Chapter 005: (Journey Again)

Violent winds, thou hast howled,

Excessive sadness is difficult to make a tune;

Untamed winds, gloomy clouds;

Knocking the death knell all night long;

Sorrowful rainstorm, your tears are in vain,

Bare trees, branches stretching out to the sky,

A slurch of snow leopards, crying under the harp......

The musician's fingers jerked off the strings, and the tavern erupted in frantic cheers.

Alleyne saw Victor shouting loudly, and the hands holding the glasses seemed to cheer. Roman chewed on his newly-bought bread, grinning and enjoying it, his gaze lingering on Alleyne for a moment, before returning to the tavern door.

Parker sat quietly on the stone steps in the doorway, looking up at the window. The mercenaries had spent two days in Djerkhara, and each trip to the market belonged to Pak, which was Roman's proposal.

Alleyne didn't know where this grinning guy got his extra energy for a day, but his vision was accurate. The window was still hidden, and the girl was still sitting in front of it, enjoying the music in the tavern, and the whole street had just been silent while the music was playing.

However, the frequent visits to the market by Parker are not intended to give him plenty of time to sow love. You must know that this kind of sowing requires money as nourishment.

The team is preparing supplies. The old broken tent was replaced with the latest one, with straight wooden poles and thick fabric. Even the ox cart was changed, and Victor changed the equipment for the entire team with a gold coin tattooed with a bear.

Resarit made a contract of employment with the city's goldsmiths' chamber, and a caravan laden with gold-encrusted silver minions and elaborate siege models awaited the city. You will be heading to the heavenly city of Viruga, the second largest city in the Duchy of Rhodok.

The owners of the caravan were clever not to choose the caravan guards, and once they learned that the boxes in the car contained these expensive noble toys, they would not hesitate to loot them.

The reward for this quest is a bag of Lion Coins. The merchant did not state the origin of the coins, as Resarit did not ask. Mercenaries don't care about property that doesn't belong to them for the time being. Do not fantasize about the possessions of others, when he is not an enemy.

The ranks of the Spear Mercenaries would depart in four days' time, and the musicians' harps were still ringing, and although the murmur of mistakes was inevitable, it still gathered the attention of the entire street.

Alleyne sat on the threshold and wiped his black iron battle axe, the sharp surface of which was oiled and glittered in the sun.

The current state of the team has reached an extremely healthy state, with abundant food and handy weapons, and there are still mercenary tasks that have been handed over. For the mercenaries, it seems to have been completed.

Compared to the helplessness of starting to join the mercenary team, Alleyne seems to have gradually enjoyed the process, because the mercenaries do not have to think hard about the meaning of battle, and do not have to bend their knees in front of the gods in their hearts.

This gave Alleyne plenty of time to nurture her hopes. He didn't know what he wanted to do in the end, but most of the mercenaries had already gotten the answer.

Victor wanted nothing more than to plunge his sword into the heart of Baron Simon Perlagher and find his wife, whether or not she had lost her beauty.

Roman often sat in the corner and read the book with the bloodstained cover, which was an explanation of the crossbowman's formation. The little mercenary wants to be the commander of the crossbowman phalanx.

And Parker, who was beside Alleyne, didn't seem to have to bother to think about it. His hope is in the window he looks up to every day.

In a split second, Parker, who was beside Alleyne, suddenly stood up and walked around uneasily.

Alleyne followed his evasive gaze, and a girl in a long pink dress was walking towards the tavern, with big blue eyes and a lovely smile, who seemed to be the girl behind the window. Roman calls Parker's Dawn Lover.

The girl looked around for a moment, and finally walked to Ellen who was sitting in front of the threshold, Ellen hurriedly put away the battle axe in his hand, and looked at the girl who came with confusion.

"Hello," the girl said with a smile of embarrassment. "My father wants to make a barrel of ale, can you help me?" Indeed, in the impression of many people on the mainland, there really did not seem to be a young girl in the tavern.

Alleyne took the clay pot and handed it to Parker, who was dodging behind him. Roman still had his signature smile on his face, and he had already put away the book in his hand and tilted his head to enjoy the scene in front of him.

Parker took the clay pot with a trembling hand and nearly fell to the ground.

The girl hurriedly stopped him. "I haven't given you any money yet?" the girl in the skirt pulled out some silver coins from her skirt pocket and handed them to Parker.

Alleyne's hand intercepted the coins in mid-air. "He's going to get the clay pot, I'll do it. Alleyne got up and entered the tavern and kicked Parker in the ass out of sight.

"What are you afraid of? With money, bread is not bought for nothing these days. Alleyne slipped the silver coin into his bosom and returned to the door.

Parker didn't have time to wipe the footprints behind his buttocks, so he hurriedly poured the wine.

Mercenaries don't like love, it slows people down, but mercenaries don't refuse. On the contrary, compared to rangers and singers, mercenaries are often at a loss when faced with love.

Alleyne sat down again, pulled out his dagger and wiped it, but the lovely voice sounded beside him. "You don't look like us, black hair, black eyes. ”

"I'm from the East. Aren didn't look up, and wiped the dust from the triangular dagger's blood groove with a rag.

"What's your name?" the girl asked. "Where's that guy just now?"

"His name is Parker. Alleyne tucked the dagger into his waist. "My name is Alleyne. ”

Parker came to the door with the clay pot, and in the other hand he held the copper coin that the tavern owner had recovered, and his eyes were fixed on the wine in the clay pot, and he seemed to be a little full.

Just then, the girl whispered, "My name is Sally." ”

The mercenary with the wine handed the clay pot and the coin back to the girl, and then sat down beside Ellenn, silently reciting the girl's name.

The girl thanked her and left, took a few steps, and suddenly turned to Parker and said, "Don't stand under my window in the future, you can talk to me." ”

Alleyne felt Parker shudder beside him, and couldn't help but worry about him. Will Ai Lu Qing slow down his movements during the battle? Alleyne didn't want any of his teammates to be pierced through the heart by an enemy sword.

The days seem to be laid-back and relaxed. The next day, Parker starts standing under the window and talking to Sally. Roman read most of his book. Victor was still touching his weapon all the time, his eyes looking straight at the sky.

At this time, Alleyne also wished that he could have the same hatred as he did, the people who prompted him to one day return to the continent of Charlonay in the east and plunder his home.

Alleyne looked up at the sky, white clouds rolling in the blue of the sky, the sun shining in his eyes. He hoped that he could lead his team, sing their war songs, and triumph towards his hometown in the east.

"I'm a mercenary, male, my name is Alleyne, I don't have a surname. I am a guest of the East. ”

The sky was still blue, and the ground was red with blood.

Alleyne tasted the wine in the tavern and listened to the traveler's description.

"The Shield of Rhodok has been encircled and has scattered and fled. The traveler said with regret. "All those who remained in the city of Harlan Gosburg were also killed, and the captain of the Royal Order, Sir Baron, personally led the team. ”

Alleyne drank the wine from his glass, he didn't guess what would happen to these elite mercenaries. "When did this happen?"

The traveler shook his head. "Is it really so slow to hear from the mercenaries?"

Alleyne stopped and turned to look at the wrinkled traveler. "Perhaps!"

The traveler drained his glass. "Twenty-six days ago, it was said that they were sent on a mission to assassinate Duke Harongoth. The old man cursed in a low voice. "It's a stupid and ridiculous act. ”

"Why do you think so?" asked Ellen politely. Originally, this task was supposed to be completed by us, and it is possible that we will be killed. Alleyne thought to himself. But all this was in the hands of King Griffos.

The traveler continued: "If the Duke of Harungus is assassinated by the Rhodoks, the noble lords of the entire southern province will be instigated by their king to lead troops to avenge their vassals, and then it will really be the end of the Rhodoks. ”

"The Swadians are already at war with the Rhodoks. Alleyne emphasized.

"But the Swadias never won, they never once breached Marasburg and Kurmar Fort. The old man told the young man in front of him. "That's because the Knights of Sanction and the Black Hawk Infantry Legion under the command of the Harungus family have not participated in a single southern expedition. ”

"This time, Harlan Gosburg sent knights into battle. "Alleyne and his companions had seen these knights in black armor and embroidered with black eagles speeding past them as they passed through the northern plains.

"Although I can't figure out why Duke Harongoth sent knights to join the southern expedition. The old man said. However, he did not send the Black Hawk Infantry Corps under his command, let alone the elite troops of the elite of the Sanction Knights, the First Banner Battalion and the Fourth Banner Battalion. ”

Alleyne pulled out three silver coins and handed them to the traveler. "Thank you for your story. ”

Outside the door, the caravan was already waiting to depart. The leader of the caravan who walked into the tavern handed the mercenary letter to Victor, and when Victor saw what was written on the paper, he spit out the half-chewed smoked fish in surprise. "So many expensive toys, for whom?"

The caravan leader glanced at Alleyne, who also overheard the conversation between Alleyne and the Traveler. "Lord of Veruga, Count Kestor. At this, the leader seemed to remember something, and reached out and took three silver coins from his waist and placed them on the table in front of the traveler.

The mercenaries set out, riding dwarfs in the kingdom of Rhodok, and the merchants promised to change when they entered Svadia.

The mercenaries escorted both sides of the carriage, but none of them looked at the wooden boxes with lions carved into them. Mercenaries don't care about property that doesn't belong to them for the time being, when the owner is not an enemy.

The woods were sometimes dense and sometimes sparse, cutting through the starry sky overhead, and Parker rode beside Alleyne with the spear with the mercenary flag attached to it, and reached out to hand him a small piece of a broad shield carved from cork.

"Sally's got you, and I have one too. Parker smiled and showed Alleyne the slightly larger cork shield in his hand.

Alleyne carefully placed the cork carving inside the armor, the location of the heart, hoping that this little thing would give him some protection from the broad shield.

Alleyne held the reins of his horse. Selly's face, Victor's face, Joseph's face, Jamila, Momocha, Cress...... The face of the dead mercenary swept over his mind. Alleyne shook his head, looking out into the jungle in the distance.

"To cherish what is alive is to regret the best that has passed. ”

"I'm a mercenary, male, my name is Alleyne, I don't have a surname. I am a guest of the East. ”

The mercenary's banner fluttered in the sky above the caravan, and the procession was bathed in the golden light of the setting sun, slowly moving towards the path to the heavenly city of [Viruga]. That's Jamila's hometown.
