Chapter Forty-Eight: The Caravan
Early in the morning, everyone in the team had already gotten up and prepared, and set off towards the meeting place under the leadership of Uncle Meng. At the west gate of Reykjavík, a large number of men and horses had already gathered at this time, including caravanserais, and the same
Mercenaries who have accepted the mission. The caravan is not large, about 200 people, even in Blair City, such a caravan can only be regarded as a medium-sized caravan. It seems that just like the mercenary said, the current Uncle Meng can take on the task is indeed true
Generally, because along the way, everyone still agrees with Uncle Meng's strength, and he has the strength of the Yellow Halo Beginner Level, which is already a very strong existence among ordinary mercenaries, and the higher the strength, it is natural that he can take it
The task will be stronger, but now Uncle Meng can only take on the task of such a small and medium-sized caravan.
"Hello, Brother Mark. ”
"Hey, it's Captain Meng, you're also on this escort mission. This time, the team is relatively large, and I hope Captain Meng will take care of it. The man named Mark, the leader of the caravan, said enthusiastically to Uncle Meng. But Roland and so on
When people heard it, they were even more depressed, it turned out that they were even smaller.
"Oh, it's a bald head, and you're there too. At this moment, a familiar voice came from the side, and everyone followed the reputation to see that it was the man who talked about Uncle Meng at the door of the mercenary union yesterday.
"Brother Mark, it seems that you should take the lead in the caravan this time, if so, I will arrange my team first, and just notify me when I leave. Uncle Meng still ignored the mercenary and continued to speak to Mark
Arrive.
"Yes, I organized it. You're going to get busy first, or you're going to do it the same way. The man named Mark didn't pay attention to the mercenary's words, and said to Uncle Meng. Depending on the situation, Uncle Meng and Mark are quite familiar
, at least many times together. And seeing that the mercenary who no one paid attention to him walked back to his team after being bored with himself, which made Roland and the others chuckle.
It didn't take long for the whole caravan to be ready for its intended destination, and this time the caravan's mission was to purchase some things in the Kingdom of Louis first, and then head to Blair City, so it was not possible to cooperate more
The reason is that the team of Roland and the others is in the middle of the entire caravan.
"Uncle Meng, does that mercenary have anything to do with you, why does he always trouble you?" As he was marching, looking at the mercenary behind him, Roland couldn't help but ask Uncle Meng. And the question was originally on the subject
Everyone who had already had an idea looked at Uncle Meng silently.
"Do you really want to know?" asked Uncle Meng, who was sitting on horseback, looking at the people who seemed to be curious babies.
"Oh, Uncle Meng, don't mind, it's not that we don't believe you, but there is always such a person chattering on the side, it's really annoying, it's so long on the way, I have to find something to relieve my boredom
。 Before Roland could speak, Sora Occam was already waiting eagerly on the side. Roland had to admonish Sola Occam with his eyes, and turned his head to Uncle Meng with an embarrassed smile.
"Okay, let's talk to you, anyway, it's still on the safe line, and there won't be any problems, and it's good to relieve boredom. That guy's name is Grantell, a mercenary from the Orange Halo stage, among us
Among the mercenaries in remote places, he is also a master. There is nothing wrong with what he said before, and it is basically the truth. Would you like to hear the story of me and him?" Uncle Meng asked to the crowd.
"Say it, Uncle Meng. Ro Nice said on the side, after everyone got acquainted these days, they all knew that Uncle Meng and these people were actually quite good at talking, so they began to reveal their true nature one by one.
"Glanchell and I have known each other since we were kids, and we both came from the same village and grew up together as good friends. The mercenary union that entered together used to take over the task together, and then slowly had their own
The teams separated, but often worked together. Originally, he was not like this, he was diligent and honest, but ah......" At this time, Yi Waldeze, who was originally at the back of the team, immediately stepped forward and touched Roland without a trace
, hinting at something to Roland. As Eagle looked down, Roland noticed that Grantel's mercenary team, which was originally behind the caravan, was unknowingly moving towards several important places in the entire caravan
, gradually controlling the important lifeblood of the entire caravan.
"Uncle Meng, what do you think of Glancel, uh, I mean how is his conduct?" After observing that there was no other abnormality around, Roland did not rush to tell Uncle Meng about the situation, but turned to Uncle Meng
Asked. At the same time, he secretly instructed Ro Eide and Ro Nice to closely monitor the surrounding situation in case anything changed.
"He, what do you say? He doesn't have any lofty ideals, he just wants to live a little easier, and he is not greedy for money, and he is still a very competent mercenary in general. He looked at Roland in confusion
Uncle Meng said.
"And what are your holidays?" Roland continued.
"It's a holiday, heh, we were friends in life and death, but at the same time, we were also enemies in life and death. Hearing this question, Uncle Meng laughed self-deprecatingly, "Remember I told you that we once worked together." That's the time,
The last time we worked together, when our two squads received an exploration mission together, I won't say much about the specifics. Because my squad is much more elite than his, his squad when I get to my destination
Responsible for the exploration of the periphery, while I led my team into the internal exploration. Since there was no danger on the periphery, and the mission level was not high, Grantchel asked his son to follow me into the interior
Count it as a workout. I won't say much about the rest of the matter, but that was the place where I was wiped out for the first time. Speaking of which, everyone finally understands why Grantel has such a big opinion about Uncle Meng, look
It seems that Grantel's son never came out again during that expedition.
"In other words, you have been unhappy since then, and he has been unhappy with you since then?" After listening to Uncle Meng's narration, Meng Feral asked Uncle Meng on the side.
"Well, that's what happened after that time, it's been like this, you see now I can only take on the mission, although the danger is much smaller, but in the same way, the mercenary points and rewards are also much lower. Huh?"
Saying that, Uncle Meng looked around the caravan, as if he was venting his helplessness about reality, but when he looked around, Uncle Meng seemed to have found something.
"There's something wrong with this team, be careful. Looking at the mercenaries who were moving, Uncle Meng felt a little different, and after explaining to everyone, he rode towards Grantelle.
"Captain Meng, come over here. At this moment, the caravan organizer Mark shouted to Uncle Meng. Forgetting to glance, Uncle Grancellmon turned his head and galloped towards where Mark was. Just when Uncle Meng moved, one
The dull sound of arrows came from both sides of the road, and with the sound of landing that followed, the mercenaries in key positions fell to the ground one after another.
"Enemy attack!" As the mercenary fell, the entire caravan thought of a terrible shout.
"Hooded, you wait. At this time, Grantell, who was not far away, shouted loudly to Uncle Meng, who was fighting in the cup, and galloped towards Uncle Meng, who was originally preparing to fight, with puzzled eyes
God looked at the approaching Grantelle.
"Cover your head, don't show your combat power in this battle. When approaching Uncle Meng, Grantell was stopped by several mercenaries around Uncle Meng, but he still expressed his opinion to Uncle Meng, which made it
The people who were full of doubts were even more confused. After explaining to Uncle Meng, Grantell immediately organized a battle against the attack. And the people who originally thought that they were strong only then found that the entire caravan had appeared
Most of the personnel who were no less than their own strength, under the organization of more than a dozen orange halo personnel and dozens of red halo personnel, this wave of enemies was quickly wiped out by everyone. After dealing with this wave of enemies, there was no more along the way
Encountered any attack to stop it. Although their hearts were full of doubts, Uncle Meng and Roland and the others did not ask, Uncle Meng was because of the principle of mercenaries, and Roland and the others saw from the battle that there was something in this caravan
The presence of the army. After all, there are some things and habits that can't be changed right away. After a day's journey, the whole team arrived in the evening at another city west of Reykjavík, Kasab, in various places
After the merchant went to deal with his goods, the head of the caravan, Roland and the others found a hotel and began to eliminate the fatigue of the day, of course, in order to arouse unnecessary suspicion, except for Roland and Uncle Meng, the rest of the team was still stationed
Stuck in a caravan camp.
"Come, come, come. Captain Meng, I can't compensate you first. I'll do it first. After a few rounds of drinking, Mark, as the main person in charge of the caravan, said politely to Uncle Meng.
"Say, let's do it. It's not the first time I've walked this road, not to mention robbers along the way, not even a more powerful ruffian, although our caravan is a little smaller, but it's not so small. whereas
And if I'm not mistaken, this time the caravan must have an army in it. Looking at the people in front of him, Uncle Meng said lightly and did not go to pick up Mark's wine.
"Well, this caravan is something that I can't talk about for the time being, but I hope we're still the same as usual, hehe. Mark said awkwardly holding up his glass.
"It's not that I don't want to be the same as usual, but someone has come to the door, President Mark. Grantell, you tell me what's going on. Looking at Mark in front of him, Uncle Meng suddenly felt so strange. Turned
Grantchel, who was looking to the side, asked.
"Hmph, you don't need to know more, you just need to know that you can play your strength at a critical moment, in this mission you are the highest combat power in our group, and there are still many places where you are needed at that time. ”
Grantell still didn't have any good looks from Uncle Meng.
"Meng Qi, let's go, we won't take this task, it's a big deal to pay liquidated damages. Looking at the people in front of him, Uncle Meng said to Roland, and at the same time walked out.
"Hmph, now it's not like you can go if you want to, this captain, in order to keep the mission secret, you can only finish this journey with us, since you can see it, then I can tell you if you give up this
missions and you will be wanted by the entire kingdom of Louis. At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a military man shouted to Uncle Meng and the others who were about to go out.
"Let's go, back to camp. After a pause, Uncle Meng continued to walk outside without looking back.
