Ryan said that. He turned and walked away, leaving Maia in the courtyard. And Mai Ya stood there dumbfounded, he suddenly felt very dazed, in his previous experience, it seemed that everything was going well, although he was an orphan since he was a child, but he was adopted by his adoptive father, although he was upright by nature, and he did not offend people, but because of his adoptive father's identity, no one cared about him.

Although no mercenary group was willing to hire him because of the overflow of sympathy, but he met Catherine, after joining the goddess team, Maia started his competitive tournament journey in a daze, and there was basically no danger in the battle, now in retrospect, as long as Catherine is still on the field, the opponent will not win at all, but in the previous battles, Catherine did not have a clear shot.

In this way, when Maiya still didn't know what was going on, he inexplicably became the champion of the Royal Athletic Competition, and began to enjoy different preferential treatment, even if the orcs launched the battle of the imperial capital, Maiya did not come to the battlefield in person, and he stayed in the safest rear as Catherine's retinue until the human victory.

Unexpectedly, all this was ruthlessly shattered today, and a priest of the Double Axe Mercenary Group easily restrained Mai Ya to death, so that he could not play any role, fortunately, the strength of the Lane Mercenary Group far exceeded that of the Double Axe Mercenary Group, but Alendor alone completely suppressed the opponent of nearly 100 people, otherwise if the two sides were evenly matched, Lane's side would definitely be in chaos because of Maia's dereliction of duty.

"Maybe I really shouldn't be a pastor," Maiya thought blankly, "Actually, if you think about it, I don't like to spread the voice of God at all, and the reason why I became a pastor is entirely because of my adoptive father's nurturing of me, an orphan who has lived in the church since I was a few years old, I am afraid that there is no other choice, right?"

"But what do I really want to do?" Maia asked herself, "I envy the beauty of others in front of people, and I want to get rid of the shadow that I couldn't reach when I was a child, but is all this really right?"

Suddenly, Maia felt at a loss, he had been learning the teachings of the gods since he was a child, reciting many passages in praise of the gods of light in his immature voice, and became a priest naturally, and now, everything that Maia took for granted in his mind was crushed into the dirt by the merciless reality.

Ryan didn't pay any attention to Maier, because Maia's own knot had to be untied by himself, just like Ryan killed for the first time after dealing with the thief Scar, and his heart was full of helplessness and hesitation, although he had Flanner to enlighten him, but in the end he relied on himself to completely get through that hurdle.

Ryan sat on his own bed, and he was about to take off his coat to rest, when he saw that on the bed opposite him, Franner, who had fallen asleep, suddenly sat up.

"Huh, you haven't rested yet?"

"Hehe, Ryan, how does it feel to be the head of the regiment?"

"The duties of the regimental leader?" Ryan didn't understand what Flanner meant, and subconsciously repeated.

"As the leader of the Ryan Mercenary Regiment, Ryan, isn't that what you just said to Maiya exactly what a head should do?"

"Ah, Franna, I didn't think much about it at all, I was just looking for something to do with Maia, and when I saw that he had something on his mind, I enlightened him, just like you enlightened me in the first place. ”

"Hehe, it's okay, anyway, your result is completely correct, and it doesn't matter about the process. Franner seemed very satisfied with what Ryan had just said to Maia, and he said slowly, "Actually, you have handled the events that happened today, haven't you noticed? You are becoming more and more like a regimental commander, and you just snort lightly, and scare the unruly Colin and Thomas like that, which is the majesty that only the best regimental commanders have." ”

"Oh?" said Ryan, taking off his magician robes and shoes, and lying on the bed, "Actually, most of them are so afraid of me because of my performance in Thor's Fortress and the Imperial Capital, right?" ”

"Isn't that bad? As a regimental commander, if you can't even shelter your own teammates, then where is there any prestige?"

"Well, that's the way it is, but those two guys will deliberately appear in front of me every time they provoke a difficult opponent, and I can't sit idly by and ignore them, right? General Orlando also said that for his subordinates, we must be gracious and powerful, and if others provoke, we must support them, and if we want to punish them, we can only do it behind closed doors, after all, it is only our internal affairs. ”

"Yes. Flanner slapped lightly and continued, "You did a good job today, and you didn't take it yourself as you did before, but left it to Allendo and them to deal with." I thought you'd do it yourself, but I know you love the people around you, especially those who dare to tease Faras in front of you, and I remember those guys lying on the bed for two months because of your magic when I was in Thor's Fortress. ”

Hearing Franner talk about Faras, Ryan's heart felt a burst of sweetness, the smell of Farath's kiss just now still lingered between Ryan's teeth, it was a taste called happiness.

"Don't be too long-winded with me, Ryan. Franner said: "Although there are only a few people in the regiment now, this mercenary group will eventually grow stronger, and there will be more people and more things, so you can't handle them all yourself, right?" ”

"I see, thanks for the reminder, Flanner. ”

"Don't be so polite, you asked us like this at the beginning, and you, as the head of the regiment, should lead by example. ”

"Okay, then what do you think we should do next? As soon as this incident comes out today, it will be very difficult for us to keep a low profile, maybe someone will make our background check clear tomorrow, what about this mission?"

"Ryan, I've always felt that this mission may not be as simple as Luke said, there must be something else in this, but we don't know yet. I suggest you continue to wait, anyway, our mercenary group is registered in the Free Paradise, and we have the qualifications to receive tasks in Seabreeze City, and even if we fight with other mercenary groups, it is normal, although we defeat the opponent directly, it is also because of our strength, the first rule of the jungle is 'the law of the jungle', if we are not strong and lose to the opponent, can we get out of the way? I'm afraid that the end will be even worse. ”

Ryan nodded, but didn't speak. After experiencing two large-scale battles in Thor's Fortress and the Imperial Capital, especially after Ryan's hands have been stained with the blood of nearly 10,000 orc warriors, Ryan naturally won't take such a small matter as a conflict with other mercenary groups to heart, and what Franco, the deputy head of the Windwind Mercenary Group, said today also made Ryan think it was true, in fact, he has always done it.

While Ryan and Flanner were chatting slowly, Susan, who was barely able to move after devouring a mercenary of the Twin Axe Mercenary Regiment, slowly floated outside Seabreeze City.

It was in its heyday when it left Seabreeze City before, and it could naturally turn its whole body into black fog and get out of the city without alarming others, but now Susan can't even recover from her injuries, let alone turn into black fog. Susan didn't know why she wanted to return to Seabreeze City, but when she saw the few Seabreeze soldiers guarding the city gate, she immediately set a goal: devour enough souls and regain her strength as soon as possible.

Sea Breeze City is a fairly famous port city on the entire continent, he almost undertakes more than eighty percent of the goods transported from north to south of the mainland, and at the busiest time, the caravans coming and going to Sea Breeze City are day and night, so Sea Breeze City will not close the city gate at night, of course, there must be essential vigilant soldiers.

What Susan saw was the garrison of Seabreeze City, which was directly under the imperial capital and one of the important hubs connecting the imperial capital to the south, so the quality of the soldiers here was quite good, they were basically strictly trained, and their combat effectiveness was second only to the imperial capital and Thor Fortress, ranking third in the empire.

However, since Seabreeze City has not experienced a war for hundreds of years, even if the undead legion swept the continent at the beginning, it was not able to bring slaughter to Seabreeze City, so the vigilance here is not as good as before. It was already early in the morning, and the soldiers guarding the city gate were also tired, although they did not dare to disperse in a swarm, but they divided themselves into two shifts, one group slipped into a private house not far from the city gate to sleep, while the rest of the people waited listlessly for the change of guard.

In the distance, in the darkness, there was the sound of wheels rolling over the stone road, which lifted the spirits of the dozen or so soldiers who were still at the city gate, and one of the leaders said: "This is not a small sound, it seems that there must be a lot of vehicles, I bet that their carriage is singular, who will follow?"

"20 silver coins, I'll bet on evens. Another soldier shouted, "I don't believe you win every time." ”

"Hehe, I'll come too, I'll press 50 silver coins. The third soldier came up slowly, and said, "Anyway, the tax for a carriage into the city is 10 silver coins, and as long as we don't say it, how can we know that there is a carriage entering the city tonight? ”

"Alas, you talk a lot of nonsense, which side are you pressing?"

"Even numbers. I said, move faster for a while, don't wake up the sleeping people over there, otherwise we have to give them half of it, then we will suffer too much, and we will stay up late. ”

"Got it, got it. The leader said impatiently, and by this time he had seen the convoy slowly approaching in the distance by the light of the fire at the city gate.
