Chapter Twenty-Five: The Fury Beast Regiment
"I told you that woman looks like the woman in my dream, that's why I wanted to chase her. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "I grumbled as I walked.
"Isn't that the lover of your dreams having met you?" quipped Emma, and Anne walked beside her with her head bowed and without saying a word.
At this time, Link solemnly propped up his right hand with his left hand, pinched his chin with his right hand and said, "I see, this is the so-called 'thinking by day and dreaming by night'. Neil smacked him with his hand again to shut him up, but instead of laughing this time, he said thoughtfully, "Whether Chris's dream is real or not, the group of people around the woman seem to be very skilled, and I feel that there is a heavy murderous aura, so it's better not to provoke them." ”
"Hmph, believe it or not, but it won't be long before we're going to be out of luck after this kind of dream, so be careful!" I said unhappily.
"Let's talk about it then~ Look, there's a mailbox here, Anne, let's send the letter!" Emma turned to Anne after seeing the mailbox on the side of the road, and Anne nodded and took the letter she had written out of her arms.
"By the way, would you like to add more content to the truth about the whole affair and tell our parents to let them expose Principal Ax and Instructor David?" asked Emma.
"It's better not for you to do this, Principal Ax, they must always pay attention to whether we contact our relatives or friends when we go back, you don't involve them too, they may be brainwashed and manipulated at that time. Besides, I don't think the letters of the two of you will reach your parents safely, and I guess they will be intercepted by their gang long ago. Neil poured a basin of cold water on Emma and Anne. "Of course, you can also write to the magistrate, but I still don't think there's much hope, and there is a possibility that our whereabouts will be exposed. ”
"Tsk!" Emma pouted in displeasure, and Anne looked a little disappointed, but after hesitating for a few seconds, they decided to drop the letter into the mailbox. "No matter, let's go!" called Emma, who rushed to the front of the line with Anne...
We followed Jill's instructions, asked others on the way, and finally rode the dragon bird after a long journey for most of the day, and finally found the location of the "Fury" beast regiment.
It is said to be a camping place, but it is just a dozen tents set up in the desert, and an iron fence is enclosed around the tents. There is a large flag planted at the gate, with the word "Fury" written on it, and on the back is a sign of a combination of flames and swords and axes, which is probably their team logo.
We led the dragon bird to the gate, and the Oxen soldiers standing guard stopped us, and one of them spoke: "Everyone, stay here, what is the matter?"
"Well, my name is Chris, this is Neil, we're the younger brother of Roy the Tiger Fighter, and the last three are our friends. I briefly introduced a few of us and continued: "My eldest brother used to be a mercenary here, and now he is missing because of an incident, we are here to ask if there is any clue about him here?"
"Oh, I've heard of him, he's an S-class 'Tiger Fighter', he used to be our ace mercenary here, and he is also the captain of the first squad, you know, that's our ace squad!" another bull warrior patted his head and said, "You guys wait here for a while, I'll go and report it!" After saying that, he turned and ran towards a tent in the station. After a while, he ran back and said, "Our deputy head wants to see you, come with me!"
A group of five of us followed the bull warrior forward, along the way I could see some tents where people were fighting each other, and the fight was quite fierce, there should be no spare strength, and in another tent there were real knives and guns, and some tents were full of all kinds of weapons, and some people were forging weapons... I want to emphasize here that the people I am talking about now are all referring to the beast warriors, because this is the beast army, there are no humans, and there are birdwing people in the sky who practice formation in the air for actual combat drills! But I'm also curious, if there are no humans in the team, wouldn't there be no magicians in the whole team? There are no warriors who can attack magically, and it would be a great loss to have no ranged magic attacks on the battlefield!
Just as I was thinking about the question, the bull warrior had already led us to the door of the deputy regiment's tent. "Let's go in!" he said, and the five of us went into the tent one by one. The tent was spacious, with a weapon display case on the left and right with various weapons hanging from it, a red carpet on the floor, and a row of antique velvet red sofas in the middle, in front of which was a square coffee table, in front of which was a large desk and chairs. At this time, our deputy head of the regiment was already standing at his desk with his hands folded on his chest, leaning his back against the edge of the table and looking at us carefully.
This deputy leader is a sheep tribe, and from her appearance, it can be roughly observed that she should belong to the kind of gentle sheep. Looking at her dress, she is dressed in a white shirt and a black workplace suit, which looks very capable and mature. She wasn't quite tall, she was supposed to be a little shorter than Anne.
"Hello, please take a seat, I'm Dolly, the deputy head of the mercenary group in charge of business negotiations. Dolly introduced herself.
"Hello, my name is Chris, he's Neil, and this is Link and Anne and Emma. I introduced Dolly to the two of us, and we all sat down together.
"I heard that any of you are Roy's brother?" asked Dolly.
"Well, Neil and I are his younger brothers, do you have any news of him lately?" I asked.
"Roy and I are old colleagues, but he never talks about his family, hehe, so I haven't seen you yet. Speaking of which, I didn't expect Roy to do such a big thing, not like he usually is?" Dolly muttered to herself.
"yes, this isn't the Roy I know, he's always been very upright!" a loud middle-aged man's voice came from the entrance of the tent.
When we looked back, it turned out to be a lionman in a suit and leather shoes. I saw that he was very tall, burly, muscular, one size bigger than Brother Roy's body, with a brown-black mane all around his face, and a long scar on his right eye.
"Ah, you're back, Captain Caro. Deputy Head Dolly said.
"Well, we had a cup of coffee with the sheriff of the Oasis, he has something to ask us for, let's send the third team later!" said Captain Caro as he walked up to us and said to Dolly. At this moment, all of us have to look up to Him to see His face.
"What the hell happened to Roy?" asked Captain Caro.
So I told the two of them the whole story.
"Well, what else can Roy do? He has fulfilled his wish and retired from the mountains again, I'm curious, that mysterious organization is also quite surprising, there is such an organization in the Republic. Captain Carlo mused.
"It would be great if you could help us find out any information, sorry for you. Neil said gratefully.
"Hahaha~~" Captain Carlo suddenly burst out laughing, the laughter was louder than the voice of the eldest brother, making people have the urge to cover their ears. "Although we are curious, we didn't say that we must help you, what good is this for us? We are mercenaries, and we have to collect money for doing things. ”
"We don't have that much money with us right now. "I don't feel good.
"You can work here as mercenaries, and in exchange, we'll do our best to help you find out. Dolly, the deputy head of the regiment next to him, interjected, and sure enough, he was negotiating business, and he spoke cleanly.
"Hmph, it's money at every turn, and there's no human touch at all. Link said disgruntled behind me.
"This black goblin, you're right, if you want to survive in this desert, you must rely on your own hands to fight, you must learn to trade with others as much as possible, relying only on favors and helping each other will only make you gradually rely on others to become weak. This is the law of the desert world. Remember, those who follow this law will be immensely powerful, and those who turn their backs on it will only bring about their own destruction. Captain Carlo said to Link seriously.
Link still had a disgruntled look on his face, but didn't say anything more.
"Speaking of which, aren't you an orc regiment, and how did you agree to hire humans as mercenaries?" Neil asked.
"Our magicians only have the fox clan and the vultures with strong spiritual power in the orc clan, the number is too small, in the past, when Roy was there, he could hold the scene, since he retired, we often suffered losses in battles, and we are preparing to expand recently, we don't mind the addition of humans, just let you join to supplement our combat power, hahaha~" Carlo said ha.
"We're not magicians. Neil reminded Caro.
"It's okay, just know magic, this can effectively assist our physical attacks. Dolly interjected.
"Looks like they're trying to get us to work for them. Emma muttered quietly from behind.
"Think about it, the so-called snake road, we have a very wide intelligence network, I believe that as long as there are clues from Roy, we will get the news soon. We will also investigate the mysterious organization you said as soon as possible, provided that you work here for a period of time, and your travel expenses and food are not much, so you don't have to worry about these here, your strength as Roy's younger brother should not be weak, I believe you will make a wise decision. Carlo said, staring at me.
Neil pulled us out of the tent and said, "Captain Carlo has hit the nail on our head, we really don't have much food and money left now, so we can't go to the oasis to work and live slowly, right?" besides, they are mercenaries, and they definitely have a lot of eyeliner, and they can get a lot of valuable information, and only by relying on them can we find the eldest brother." ”
I also nodded and said, "I was originally taking one step at a time, but at that time I just speculated that the eldest brother was in Lapaz, and now he is not in the original mercenary group, so we have to rely on them to make long-term plans." ”
Link pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, I just wanted to learn to be a magic swordsman, and I should be able to learn a lot here." ”
Anne and Emma have no objection, they were originally going to come with us to find the eldest brother, of course, they still want to be together.
So, we turned around and went back to the tent and agreed to Captain Carlo's proposal.
"Hahaha~~ Very good, you are welcome to join, I promise that I will inform you as soon as there is any news. "Captain Carlo held out his huge, furry palm to me.
Hopefully we won't be here for long, I shook his hand and thought to myself.
And just like that, our career as a temporary mercenary begins today...
