Chapter 2: Suddenly
The convoy suddenly increased its speed, and under the bumps, these young masters in the carriage couldn't help but exclaim. Along the way, the convoy was very smooth, and most of them had a leisurely and comfortable attitude, which had suffered from such bumps, especially since many of the carriages were young young masters and brothers.
What is supposed to come will come, but sooner or later. Although Raul had already ordered the team to hurry as far as they could, the people of the Qingfeng Mercenary Group had also seen the world and knew what the situation was now, so they did not dare to delay and galloped quickly with all their might. However, after all, they were still being chased up, everyone didn't know who was chasing, only heard a rumbling sound of horses' hooves, moving quickly from far and near to catch up, although people haven't seen it yet, but just listening to the momentum has made the mercenaries present can't help but change their expressions.
The mercenaries unconsciously slowed down, clenched their weapons, and looked at Raul, the regimental leader, in unison. Raul frowned, called a few of his right-hand men, and whispered a few words. According to the instructions of the regiment commander, all the subordinates scattered to implement countermeasures. At this time, the chasing men and horses had arrived, and the soldiers surrounded the convoy in two ways, and then they all stopped expressionlessly, and their cold eyes made people tremble.
Everyone present felt a little nervous, the mercenaries clenched their weapons, and when the matter came, everyone calmed down and looked at the visitor indifferently. The people in the carriage also obviously felt the weirdness of the atmosphere, and they all stayed quietly in the car and didn't dare to make a sound.
Three people walked out of the opposing team, the one on the left was tall, holding a ghost head knife that seemed to be unusually heavy, the one on the right was thin and small, with a thin sword pinned to his belt, and the man in the middle was an old man in his fifties, with short hair and horizontal eyebrows, a big nose and thick lips, and a black robe with a dragon-patterned belt around his waist, obviously the leader of this group of people.
I only heard the black-robed old man say in a loud voice: "Who of you can call the shots here? Please don't get me wrong, we are the dragon mercenary group in Stanley City, ask you something?"
Raul heard the origin of the visitor, his heart was shocked, and he was secretly surprised. Stanley City is a famous big city in the Raptors Empire, and the Dragon Mercenary Group is also one of the best mercenary groups in the city, belonging to a four-star mercenary group. There are more than 1,000 people, and there are many fifth-order and sixth-order swordsmen in the group, and it is said that the head of the regiment is already a seventh-order sword sect, and he can go to the mercenary guild at any time to apply for a star promotion and expand the scale of the mercenary group. Such a force could not be compared to Raul and other three-star mercenary groups with only a few hundred people.
According to the mercenary group level regulations promulgated by the Continental Mercenary Guild, any mercenary who has reached the level of a high-level warrior or swordsman can apply to create a mercenary group with a scale of about fifty to one hundred people, and this mercenary group is a one-star mercenary group. In order for a one-star mercenary group to advance and expand its scale, two conditions must be met. The first condition is to complete the challenge task of the Mercenary Guild to get a bonus promotion, and the second condition is that there must be at least one fifth-order sword master or war master of the corresponding level in the mercenary group.
After the mercenary group is promoted, it will obtain the corresponding rights, and the number of mercenary groups will increase. The one-star mercenary group is promoted to a two-star level, the number of people can be expanded by 200 to 400, there are at least two or more swordsmen in the group, and they can complete the two challenge tasks of the mercenary guild...... The two-star mercenary group has been promoted to a three-star level, with an increase of 500 to 1,000 people, and at least one great sword master level in the group must be in charge to complete four challenge missions. And so on, with each additional star promotion, the number of mercenary groups increases, and the application conditions change accordingly. The higher the level of the mercenary group, the more difficult it is to advance, and at present, there are only a handful of mercenary groups in the entire Via Continent that can reach the eight-star level. Not to mention the nine-star mercenary group with the Sword Master in charge, only zài is left in the legend.
Raul didn't dare to wait, and hurriedly stepped forward to answer, saying, "Your Excellency is that? I am Raul, the leader of this Qingfeng mercenary group, what are you doing?"
"Oh! Qingfeng Mercenary Group, fortunately we will meet!" the black-robed old man arched his hand, and when he said that he was lucky, everyone could see that it was just a perfunctory polite remark. "Old man Wild Dragon Grant, dare to ask, did Captain Raul know what happened near here just now?"
"We're in a hurry, and we don't know what's going on?" Raul didn't understand Grant's intentions, and he didn't want to cause trouble for the team, and he was quite polite in his words.
"Captain Raul, just now I had a grudge between the Wild Dragon Mercenary Group and the Wild Wolf Gang, and now the Wild Wolf Gang has hurt dozens of people and fled, dare to ask if anyone in your group knows the news of this gang, or where they live?"
Raul was not surprised, and said lightly: "Wild Wolf Gang, the largest bandit force near this mountain range, there are people in my group who know it. It's just that now we are on a mission, and it is inconvenient for us to leave. I hope your Excellency will forgive me!"
"Captain Raul, I would like to ask your group for help in this favor, and I am grateful to the entire Dragon Mercenary Group. To tell you the truth, the wild wolf helped the wolf ambition and took advantage of the unpreparedness of our regiment to forcibly steal a very important item from our regiment. We will not hesitate to find the things back and destroy this gang. Grant said, and his momentum gradually increased.
Raul, as a great sword master, could still resist, and the other people with lower cultivation levels trembled slightly, and the fighting qi in his body was suppressed and slowed down.
Sun Xiaofei sat quietly in the carriage, secretly observing the two sides carefully, touching his chin, and having some thoughts in his heart.
"Big brother, who are those?"
Suddenly, Xiaohui's voice sounded in his mind, Sun Xiaofei shook his head and replied, "I don't know, it seems that these people are very big, but I'm afraid that Captain Raul can't afford to provoke them." ”
"Then what should we do?" Xiaohui asked, feeling a little uneasy.
"Don't worry, we'll see what gets better. I believe that Captain Raul will have a way to deal with it. You and I don't have to worry about it. Sun Xiaofei said indifferently.
Well, Xiaohui nodded, and then sat quietly in the carriage with Sun Xiaofei, sometimes he couldn't help but sneak a few glances through the window, looking like a thief, which seemed a little funny. When Sun Xiaofei saw it, he couldn't help but smile.
Raul's expression remained unchanged, and he said coldly: "Your Excellency is doing this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to do it." ”
Grant laughed, motioned for one of his men to take a black bag, took it and threw it at Raul. Raul reached out and took it, the bag was quite heavy, and when he opened it, he looked at it, and it was full of golden coins.
"What do you mean, Grant?" Raul frowned, not understanding what kind of trick Grant was playing?
Grant had already spoken first: "Captain Raul, I hope you can agree to this little request, if not, we will have to offend for the sake of brotherhood!" After speaking, with a smile on his face, the two people beside him scattered left and right, and slowly walked towards Raul and the others.
Seeing this scene, Raul and the others' faces couldn't help but change, and they didn't wait for them to react. The tall man holding the ghost head knife on the left folded his hands and swung the knife to the side, and the fierce and strong fighting spirit surged out, and the person in front of him quickly dodged and retreated when he saw this. The thick fighting spirit slashed forward along the blade, bringing up a deep trench of earth and dust.
When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but be secretly speechless, marveling at the depth of this person's fighting spirit and the depth of his cultivation. The thin man on the right sneered, and he didn't see how to behave, and the fierce fighting spirit in a burst of silver light was like a raging wind, and the invisible and cold momentum enveloped everyone, and the swift sword light flashed. Several subordinates of the Qingfeng Mercenary Group suddenly felt a chill invade, and subconsciously picked up the sword in their hands.
Suddenly, my heart was cold and cold, and the weapons in my hands were all pierced with a small hole. Seeing the power of this sword, Raul and the others' faces changed greatly, and their faces were full of ugliness for a while, this amazing sword skill, if it is used to kill people, it must be invincible. If you are defenseless, wouldn't it be like an ordinary live target being pierced through the body by a sword!
The two people who came out of the other party shocked the audience with this shot, Raul sighed lightly in his heart, knowing that the shape was extremely disadvantageous to his side, and the other party was several times better than his own side in terms of number and strength. Besides, there are still weak young masters on his side, so he has to give in. The mercenaries walked between the Via continents, and a law had naturally formed invisibly: if the strength of others was stronger than their own, the weak could not be defeated, and they could only submit to the strong.
"Well, according to your words, I'll send someone to go with you. ”
Later, Raul called all the people who knew the Wolves well and chose among them. In the end, it was Kaba who stepped forward and decided to take this trip for the safety of the Qingfeng Mercenary Group, and Raul and his other brothers were very grateful, and Raul assured him that if he Kaba had any mistakes, his wife and children would be supported by them.
Seeing this scene, Grant, who had been watching indifferently from the sidelines, also showed a hint of approval on his face, and nodded his head at the people around him, and the shape of the scene suddenly became relaxed.
"Captain Raul, please rest assured, we will protect the people of your group and will definitely return them to you in their entirety. Farewell!" Grant said in a loud voice, then waved his hand and began to direct the men and horses to retreat.
The people of the Dragon Mercenary Group also kept their promises and left with Kaba. Both sides politely said goodbye and parted, although Raul and the others had some indignation and resentment in their hearts. But the strength of the people is strong, and this breath can only be swallowed in the heart.
Sun Xiaofei, who saw this qiē in the carriage, rolled his eyes and chuckled. Called Xiaohui to him, told him that he was going out, and told him to stay in the car. He felt that something was wrong, so he cast a transfiguration mudra on the spot, temporarily changed Xiaohui's appearance, and told him to pretend to go to sleep, so that he could leave with confidence. Xiaohui looked at his current appearance and felt very surprised, and the longer he followed Sun Xiaofei, the more interesting he found this kind of life.
Although Xiaohui looks like himself, no matter how he looks at the form of the ape, he still can't change it, Sun Xiaofei can't care so much about it, he has to catch up with the people of the Dragon Mercenary Group as soon as possible. His hands quickly formed the Great Five Elements Escape Seal, and his spiritual power rushed in his body, and his figure flashed, and he immediately escaped into the ground, tracking the dragon mercenary group.
