It was late, the sunset on the horizon gradually faded, and the sunset left only a trace of afterglow on the grassland, silver white and crimson, and two crescent moons rose from the end of the earth, sprinkling the moonlight of different colors on this beautiful grassland.

The sky is getting dark, and the breeze gently caresses the face, and the breeze with the faint coolness of the night can blow away the sultry and humid heat and humidity that rages on the grassland during the day, but it cannot blow away the fiery atmosphere in the tribe.

Six deep pits were dug in the center of the tribe, and six huge copper pots were placed in the pits. Each copper pot is half a person tall, and it looks like it has existed for many years, the outer layer of metal is a little dark, and there are faintly mottled green rust scattered on the surface, but the inside of the pot is so yellow that it is shiny and shiny, and it looks like new.

At the bottom of the six pits, there are mountains of fuel, the grassland never worries about the lack of fuel, dry cow, sheep and horse manure is the best combustible, a piece can last for a long time, and there is no peculiar smell when burning, whether it is inside or outside the tent, you can use it with confidence.

The fuel had already been ignited, and the orange tongue of fire licked the bottom of the pot enthusiastically, burning the copper pot to a boiling hot point.

The copper pot was filled with water, and the surface of the water was tumbling in the heat, and the steaming mist came out of the pot and dispersed into the night sky.

In the tumbling water, you can see large pieces of mutton, with bones and meat, each piece is at least the size of a fist, floating and sinking in the clear water, the surface of the meat has turned light gray, and the tumbling begins to exude a faint meat aroma.

Next to each pot, a young herdsman stands with a long, smooth wooden stick in his hand, reaching into the pot from time to time and stirring it a few times to keep the water from overflowing.

The temperature next to the pot is very high, the naked upper bodies of the herdsmen are already covered with sweat, and the bronzed skin is shiny in the reflection of the flames, but their faces are always filled with happy smiles, for this group of herdsmen wandering on the grassland, troubles will never be with them, a hearty meal, a dazzling beauty, or even just a rainbow floating in the sky, can make them feel heartfelt happiness.

In the center of the six fire pits, a metal grill was erected, and a poor sheep had been turned into food, stripped of its skin, and slowly roasted on the grill intact. As the grill slowly turns, the delicious sauce is brushed on the surface of the lamb layer by layer, and with the help of high temperature, it slowly penetrates into the inner layer, making the meat more delicious and delicious. The surface of the sheep had been roasted golden brown, and large drops of grease were dripping into the flames, and each drop would intensify the aroma of the camp.

In order to welcome these rare guests, the herdsmen specially slaughtered two of the fattest sheep, since there are distinguished guests, they must let them eat to their heart's content, this is the usual bold style of the grassland herdsmen.

Around the cooking site are hundreds of male and female herders, whose food is not yet cooked but who have not been assigned a job to gather and sit on the floor on thick blankets.

It can be said that this is the happiest time of every day for all herdsmen, and what is more pleasant than sitting on the soft grass after a hard day, looking up at the twinkling stars in the sky, and smelling the aroma of food in the nose.

For the sake of safety, the more than thirty people in the caravan did not mix with the herdsmen, but gathered in a few separate piles, curiously examining this grand dinner full of grassland style, of course, it was just the preparation process of the dinner.

Yes, the follow-up convoy, with the permission of these xenos, entered this ready-made camp. All the trucks were grouped together, and the herders volunteered to help the caravan, building a barbed wire fence around the trucks. This kind of paper-like defense, of course, is impossible to block any strong enemy, not so much a defensive measure, but an anti-theft measure, with barbed wire defense, leaving two supplies as a guard, so as to avoid the loss of any items in the convoy. Of course, this is more symbolic than practical, and symbolizes an attitude of the herders.

Compared with the busy herdsmen, the members of the caravan are much more relaxed, they do not need to build a camp hard, nor do they need to allocate a large number of people to guard against enemy attacks, not only will there be a unique grassland food supply, but also the youthful grassland girls will be hospitalized, for the hard mercenaries, everything is like a dream, it is unbelievable.

Yes, the mercenaries are unbelievable, after all, this thing is so weird. There is a story in ancient mythology, Liu Wu, who went into the mountains to chop wood, got lost in the valley, and after running out with great effort, he found himself in a strange world, countless steel monsters on the ground were screaming and running at high speed, strange metal birds in the sky flew by, towering towers that could not be seen on the ground rose from the ground, and people in various strange costumes spoke unintelligible languages and were hurrying back and forth. Frightened, Liu Wu hurriedly fled back to the valley, and after starving in the valley for a few days, he couldn't help but come out of the valley again, and found that he had returned to the normal world.

The mercenaries are like this now, everything is like a dream, everyone seems to have returned to the legendary world before the disaster, without worrying about the invasion of demons, without worrying about the nuisance of foreign beasts, sitting leisurely by the campfire, enjoying carefree leisure.

However, legends are just legends after all, the mercenaries who go in and out of life and death all day long do not believe in miracles, let alone myths, so they are always full of doubts about the status quo, although these ordinary mercenaries with insufficient strength can not sense the characteristics of the herdsmen of different races, but the instinct of the mercenaries makes them unable to let down their guard, everyone is vigilant against the strange herdsmen around them, as if they may draw their weapons at any time at any time to hurt people.

Even if the high-level mercenaries have already told them that they don't need to be so nervous, just take a little precautions and don't drink too much, but what others say is someone else's business, their lives are their own, so they won't easily relax their vigilance because of a word from the high-level mercenary.

However, seeing that the employer Mi Xin was also with everyone, the mercenaries were still a little relieved, after all, she could sit there with peace of mind as an ordinary person, so the possibility of danger would not be too great.

"Brother, you don't seem to be nervous at all. A mercenary noticed that the leader Ah Xi seemed to be extraordinarily calm, and couldn't help but lean over and whisper, "Don't you worry......

"Well, don't worry. Ah Xi shook his head and said to Mi Xin's Nunu mouth, "With that madman over there, there should be nothing to worry about, although he is crazy, he will not be ambiguous at all when it comes to dealing with danger." ”

"That's right. In the past two days, the crow's attitude as if everything was under control left a deep impression on everyone, "He is so calm, it seems that there will be no danger." ”

"Fart. Ah Xi was much stronger in front of the brothers than when he faced the crow, knocking on the head of the younger brother and saying, "Didn't you notice that there was one less person in the team? ”

"Brother, what do you mean ......" The mercenary made a gesture of scratching people with teeth and claws.

"Shhhhhh

"Guests from afar, the banquet has officially begun. ”
