The cold wind whistled through the empty plains, and on this deep winter afternoon, there were not many pedestrians in sight on the road leading to the distance, only a small convoy passing by, and the bells hanging from the carriage made a crisp and pleasant sound that spread far away.

On a hill not far away, several black-armored warriors rode on horned horses, staring at the back of the convoy in the distance.

In the middle of the samurai, a young lion-born nobleman looked hideous, his hands holding the reins bulging white knuckles from too much force.

"That's them! I want you to kill them all, and leave the woman in the car behind, and I'm going to kill that guy in front of him, and let his soul cry in hell for all eternity!"

A vicious curse squeezed out from between the young nobleman's teeth, with a bitter hatred that made people shudder to hear it.

A black-armored warrior next to him grinned, revealing his teeth dyed green: "Master Wald, that's a wizard's ability, but we can fulfill your wish, as long as you pay enough money." ”

He spat out the scraps of the chew in his mouth to the ground, licked his lips and said, "If you can't get the money when you're done... Uh-huh, you know the consequences. ”

A favorite of the orc mercenaries, the pickled fruit is sweet and sour, chewy, and can be used to clean teeth and act as a medicine to stop bleeding when necessary.

"Don't worry, I've got the gratuity ready, and I'm sure it's not a lot of gold!" said the young nobleman gloomily.

If it were possible, he didn't want to deal with these depraved and dirty, greedy and brutal dark mercenaries, but driven by hatred, the current Wald didn't mind selling his soul to the devil, as long as he could kill Leon and the others.

Hansell's sudden downfall caused the fate of the young lionborn nobleman to fall from heaven to hell, and he was driven out of his home by the wolf-like Templars, who still had the title but was worse than the lost dog.

Those fox friends in the past drew a line with Wald at the first time, and some people even immediately came to ask for old debts that I don't know how many years ago, if it weren't for Pastin's appearance, I'm afraid he would really be down on the streets now, worse than a beggar.

But Wald didn't see Pastin as a true friend, and after this upheaval, he really saw through it.

This seemingly righteous guy is actually just trying not to be talked about, and you must know that the root cause of Wald's feud with Leon is that he is getting into trouble with the forest fairy bar for Pastine.

Wald didn't dare to complain about Pastine, knowing that the other party could make him die without a death with the touch of a finger, and he put all his grudges on Leon's head.

Tribulations always make people mature quickly, and with hatred, Wald asks Pastin for a sum of money, along with some of his savings, to contact a dark mercenary through the underground forces of Tormond City.

After getting the news, I tracked it all the way, and now I've finally caught up.

He wants to kill all Leon and others to avenge his uncle!

The mercenaries of the Beamon Beast Clan are brave and warlike, and enjoy a high reputation in the Radiant Continent, and they used to gallop around the continent to fight decades ago, but later had to retreat to the north as their relations with the Terrans deteriorated.

Due to the drastic shrinkage of their business, many mercenaries who were reluctant to join the army had to abandon their previous beliefs and do shady and dark work.

The mercenary team hired by Wald is well-known among the underground forces of Tormond City, and the captain Ek, that is, the black-armored warrior beside him, is a second-level soul armor warrior, and there are three first-level soul core warriors and more than a dozen brute warriors under his command.

With strong force, rich experience and absolute numerical superiority, it should not be a problem to take down Leon's small team of only six people.

"Two first-class warriors, one third-level mage, tsk!Wald, do you guarantee that your information is accurate?" asked the mercenary captain smacking his lips.

The dark mercenaries are happy and ruthless when they see the money, but this does not mean that they have no brains, and the reckless and arrogant characters will never be able to mix in this industry.

Wald's hiring assignment was too urgent, and Eck's side did not have a detailed understanding of the target, but only learned relevant information from him, and could not guarantee the exact surname.

Of course, Eke dared to take on this task, of course, with the confidence that he would win, and it was purely a matter of habit to ask more.

"If you're scared, give up now. Wald said coldly.

Ekhaha smiled, he didn't get angry, because the customer who paid the money was always the uncle: "Okay, we'll do it when they enter the mountains, and I'll bring that girl to you!"

"When you attack, I'm going to watch from behind," said Wald, hatefully, like a wolf with a broken leg: "Look at how they wail and struggle!"

"As you wish, honorable young master!" Eke whistled lightly and whispered, "Guys, let's go!"

In the blink of an eye, several horses disappeared above the hill.

Almost at the same moment, Leon, who was walking in front of the convoy, suddenly turned his head and looked behind with a solemn expression.

"Do you feel it too?" Akran leaned over and chuckled, "We have been followed, and the other party has at least twenty horsemen, and the strength is not weak." ”

"Their tracking skills are good, but on this plain, my insight has the greatest perception, and we are in trouble this time, and it seems that someone doesn't want you to return to Wuthering Forest alive. ”

Leon turned his head and looked at the rolling twilight mountains in the distance, and said in a deep voice, "Well, they should want to wait for us to enter the mountains before they do it." ”

The roads in the mountains are rough and difficult to navigate, and if they are attacked by the enemy, they are certainly much more dangerous than on the plains.

As for who the enemy was, Leon could figure it out with his toes - there were only a few of his enemies in the city of Tormond.

"Then what should we do? Why don't we go back to Tormond first, I'm missing the Forest Elf Bar a little," said the mage regretfully, "If I take some time, I should be able to take down that spicy goat girl!"

The skyrocketing strength made Akran confident, and he didn't take the ill-intentioned tracker too seriously, and of course, as a mage, he didn't want to fight an enemy of unknown strength on the mountain path.

Before reaching the fifth order of mastering the magic shield, all mages are vulnerable.

"Trouble is coming, it's not my style to escape!" Leon's eyes flashed fiercely: "It's getting dark, we set up camp there." ”

Leon chose to camp on a low hill not far from the mountain road, with a very high view from a commanding height, and a small unfrozen river nearby, and although it was the middle of winter, the meadows on both sides of the river were still green.

Swinging the two wagons to the left and right was the best protective barrier, and a few tents were erected to light a bonfire, and a small makeshift camp was quickly set up.

"We're waiting here, not going anywhere!" Leon sneered and pulled out a crossbow from the carriage: "Wait for them to come!"

This place is located on the edge of the Twilight Mountains, there are no towns nearby, and it will take nearly two days to return to the city of Tomond, and the other party has been tracking all the way, obviously looking for the best opportunity to attack, and to completely annihilate Leon and the others.

From this point, Leon could see that the strength of the other party was not overwhelming, otherwise a fourth- or fifth-level Beast Soul Warrior would be enough to easily slaughter all of them.

Entering the mountain now is definitely an extremely bad choice, how can Leon let the other party get his wish, his side is well-supplied and well-armed, and the biggest drawback is that the number of people is too small, which is only conducive to defensive battles.

Knowing the enemy's intentions, Leon waited for them to come up, and if he could not lead them to attack, he would not hesitate to return to the city of Tormond.

At most, go back to Tomond City to hire a mercenary, it doesn't matter how many days you waste, the safety of the group is the most important thing.

And if the other party really dares to come, he will also take this opportunity to practice the combat skills and soul power use skills that he has just mastered.

Use them as your whetstones!

Leon stared at the field that was gradually engulfed in darkness, and his dark eyes flashed with a chilling light.

The long winter nights were spent in peace.

The campfires in the makeshift camp remained unextinguished throughout the night, and the trackers did not use the cover of night to launch a surprise attack, they were still waiting for the best opportunity.

But the opportunity may never have arisen, and the next day the convoy did not leave early in the morning, but remained in the makeshift camp with no sign of moving.

This makes it difficult for trackers to understand.

"What's going on?" asked Wald, his blood-red eyes.

The enemy was not far away, and he stayed up all night thinking about how to break Leon's body into pieces, but Leon and the others were slow to get on the road, which made Wald, who was hiding in the woods, more and more anxious.

Eke looked at the sky, hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know, something might happen to them, let's wait." ”

"Wait, when will it be, is it comfortable to stay here?"

If it weren't for the jealousy of the other party's strength, Wald almost poked his finger in Ek's face: "They only have six people who can fight, you have twenty, you are still a second-level soul armor warrior, I really don't know what you are afraid of, you should have done it last night!"

Eck's profundity was also irritated by Wald's almost humiliating words: "You know the! Look at the location of their camp, we will be found in any direction we attack from." ”

"Their mages can attack from a distance, and if they have crossbows, it's even more dangerous, how many brothers do I have to take in order to earn you only a thousand gold coins?"

If it weren't for the credibility of himself and others in this industry, Eke would have wanted to slap Wald in the face.
