Chapter 34: The Four Mercenary Groups
The next morning, both Limer and Philip decide to return to the zombie city.
Li Mo wanted to hunt more zombies and obtain the power of the demon god. Philip wanted to collect more black powder to do research.
However, the zombies in the city seemed to know Li Mo's dark thunder fighting spirit and were very restrained to them, and let the two of them drive through the city, but none of the zombies jumped out to find fault.
And the city is too big, and the two of them can't find the place where the zombies are hiding for a while.
Even at night, Li Mo walked into the dark city alone, and still did not encounter a single zombie. Is this still a zombie that goes crazy when it smells of a human being?
Li Mo was very helpless.
If it weren't for Philip's zombie detection flames, he would have thought that the zombies in the entire city would have died that night.
After a day's delay in the zombie city, under the zombies' shrinking tactics, the two had no gain, so they could only start the car while scolding the zombies for being too treacherous, get back on the road, and rush to Blue Ocean City.
There, you can hear information about the Heavenly Domain.
......
Blue Ocean City, an eye-catching pearl of the abandoned wasteland, covers an area of 10,000 square kilometers and has a resident population of one million, making it the most prosperous and powerful of the 352 cities in the abandoned wasteland.
Every day, a large number of mercenaries, merchants, adventurers, killers, intelligence agents, and wanderers enter this legendary capital, carrying rare treasures, spirit pets, magical beasts, and confidential information in exchange for something of equal value, or they want to earn a chance to get ahead here through hard work and luck.
Here, every day people die, some people emerge, some people get rich overnight, and some people go bankrupt.
It's also the safest place to be in the Forsaken Wasteland, as there are very detailed rules in place and there are strong people who maintain them.
No matter who you are, you must follow the rules of Blue Ocean City: you must not force you to buy and sell, you must not kill people and sell goods, you must not bully women, and senior professionals will do things to intermediate professionals...... Thirty years ago, when Blue Ocean City was founded, these rules were engraved on the immortal monument in the center of the city by the owner of the city.
It is said that these rules are very similar to the rules of Middle-earth, so many people speculate that the mistress of Blue Sea City, the half-step sanctuary, and the Blue Sea Rose Herador, this mysterious woman with many titles, is actually from Middle-earth.
Thirty years ago, this rose-like girl arrived here under the escort of a group of mercenary men, and in just one month, she miraculously cleared out hundreds of thousands of zombies entrenched in the city. Then he proclaimed himself the lord of the city and stayed here.
After thirty years of development, the area of Blue Ocean City has expanded fivefold, and the population is also growing year by year, and even the mercenary guilds, adventurers' guilds, wizards' guilds, and all-knowing intelligence organizations, which have always only set up institutions in the prosperous world of Middle-earth, have set up branches in Blue Ocean City.
However, according to convention, the ratings and certificates issued by these guilds are only useful in the Northern Wilderness, and they are worthless when they are obtained from Middle-earth.
Because Middle-earth has a more complete and standard rating system, an A-level mercenary team in the Northern Wilderness can't even reach the C-level standard in Middle-earth.
On the afternoon of the tenth day, Li Mo and Philip's pickup truck finally entered the Blue Ocean City area.
As far as the eye can see, the yellow-brown desolate earth is extinct, and the land in front of it is an intoxicating blue. Hundreds of millions of small plants grow here, they are all blue, have a simple structure, contain only two parts, stems and leaves, and have a well-developed root system, whether it is soil, gravel or even stone, they can become nourishment for their growth.
This bryophyte, people call it cyanobacteria.
Blue Ocean City is also named after this.
Hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land around Blue Ocean City are full of cyanobacteria. They are so vigorous that neither drought nor cold can stop them from growing. Even if a piece of cyanobacteria is removed on the same day, new ones will grow the next day.
It is rumored that the blue-green algae is the flesh and blood of a legendary powerhouse who died here in the final battle, which is why it has such a strong vitality, and can only grow near the blue sea city, and once it leaves this place, the blue-green algae will die immediately.
Because of the presence of cyanobacteria, dozens of large ranches have been established around Blue Ocean City. And the livestock raised in the pasture attracted most of the demonic beasts in the abandoned wasteland to come and hunt. Blackstone Valley and Yue'er Mountain have become perennial places where demonic beasts are entrenched.
And because there are too many monsters, every spring and autumn season, Blue Ocean City will hold a blue ocean hunting event. Spring and autumn season is the golden season for cattle and sheep breeding and production, and it is also the golden season for Warcraft to reproduce offspring.
Twice a year, the spring safari is the most grand.
In order to encourage the mercenary team to hunt a large number of Warcraft, Blue Ocean City will also set up precious prizes to reward the top three teams that hunt the most Warcraft.
According to Philip's estimates, in four or five days, the spring patrol in Blue Ocean City will begin. Because it was at this time last year that he was coerced by the blonde youth to go to Black Mist City.
Sure enough, after only an hour of travel, in the distance, the outline of a castle about the size of a zombie city appeared in front of the two of them.
"That, it's Blue Ocean City, right?" Li Mo asked, looking at the city in front of him. Along the way, he listened to Philip tell many legendary stories about Blue Ocean City, and he also had some curiosity about this legendary city.
"No, this city is called Blue Ocean Three, and it is a satellite city of Blue Ocean City. In the four directions of Blue Ocean City, there are four satellite cities in each direction, and each satellite city has a team of mercenaries stationed directly under it, responsible for guarding the security of Blue Ocean City. In the year of the Monster siege, this place will also become the front line of the battle. Philip explained.
Li Mo's eyes flashed when he heard this, and his interest in Blue Ocean City increased a few points. The satellite cities in front are several times larger than Black Mist City, so what is the scale of Blue Ocean City as the main city.
He looked in other directions through the car window, and not far from them, there was a long caravan also rushing to Blue Ocean Three City. There were more than twenty tightly wrapped wagons in their ranks, but the animal pulling the goods was a strange creature with a single horn and the shape of a sheep, and in addition to the chariot drivers, there were seven or eight mercenaries in armor who rode around the carriage on a kind of scaly monster horse.
Not far from them, a few sturdy demonic beasts followed closely, perhaps fearing the caravan's force and not attacking.
The caravan men also saw the speeding pickup, and for them, the car was not hard to come by, but it was expensive and prone to breakdown. In a sparsely populated wasteland, running out of gas or breaking down can be a disaster. Therefore, people who run long distances do not use cars.
Since it was getting late, Li Mo and Philip decided to rest for the night in Blue Ocean No. 3 City and head to Blue Ocean Main City tomorrow. When they entered the city, the two were subjected to strict interrogation. After several mercenaries guarding the city heard that the two were from Black Mist City, there was obvious mockery and mockery in their eyes, and they asked the two to go to the city administrative hall to level their identities and receive identity cards. And clearly inform that Black Mist City's cannot be used in Blue Ocean City.
The attitude of the mercenaries defending the city made Li Mo extremely angry, but he was not angry at the badness of the mercenaries guarding the city, but angry at the reputation of Black Mist City that was so bad outside. Perhaps, he should cooperate with the rebels to overthrow the rule of the Dominator family, or blow up the walls of Black Mist City with all the explosives in his backpack. That's the right thing to do.
Li Mo's thoughts swelled to the top after seeing the true appearance of Blue Sea City the next day.
Not long after leaving Blue Ocean No. 3 City, I saw a huge city silhouette with white as the main tone, like a holy flower blooming on the blue ocean.
Blue Ocean City No. 3 was big enough, but Blue Ocean City was four or five times bigger than it. The whole city is like a floating island, with the highest position in the center, skyscrapers rising from the ground, and majestic buildings emerging one after another. On the outskirts of the city, there are endless private houses, all with white roofs and white walls. In the middle is a tall warehouse and trading market, also with a white roof.
Blue Ocean City has roads in all directions, but no walls have been built. Because Blue Ocean City has never been afraid of Warcraft attacks, its attitude towards Warcraft has always been to take the initiative.
Around the main city of the Blue Ocean, there are patches of orderly pastures, each of which has at least tens of thousands of livestock. The food for these livestock is the endless blue-green algae on the ground, and the purpose of the fence is to prevent the livestock from running around.
Several well-trained mercenary teams are constantly patrolling the ranch area, and as soon as they find any traces of magical beasts, they will immediately hunt them.
There are many entrances to Blue Ocean City, each entrance is thirty-six meters wide, four lanes, due to the large number of people and vehicles entering and leaving Blue Ocean City, Li Mo and Philip deliberately chose an entrance with a relatively small flow of people, not wanting to just line up, they saw a team of mercenaries embroidered with Charizard uniforms rushing out of it, asking all pedestrians, mounts and vehicles to stand aside.
Li Mo and Philip looked at each other suspiciously, and when they both stepped out of the car, they heard a loud noise coming from inside the entrance.
"Look, the four mercenary groups are out of the city. ”
"Today, they're going to judge the order in which they select the patrol areas by the number of monsters they hunt. ”
When the people next to Li Mo heard this, they seemed to know some news, and they also showed excited expressions, scrambling to look at the entrance and talking.
"The four major mercenary groups in Blue Ocean City, it is said that the top mercenary group in the abandoned wasteland, in today's selection order, they must send the strongest members. ”
"Yes, the people we see on weekdays who are responsible for maintaining order are all peripheral members of the four major mercenary groups, and their core members rarely show up. ”
"Hehe, it's really unheard, as long as you stay in Blue Ocean City long enough, you'll be familiar with their main members, because the whole city is talking about them. ”
That's a good point. I've only been in Blue Sea City for three years, and I've seen William, the deputy head of the Blue Wolf Mercenary Regiment and a ninth-level knight known as the Sword of the Wind, as well as the promising star of Blue Ocean City, a little genius who was promoted to a fifth-level warrior at the age of fifteen, Furra, the Flame Bear of the Magma Mercenary Regiment, and Balzac, the Dragon Sword of the Folding Blade Mercenary Regiment. I have never seen the main members of the most mysterious Night Mercenary Regiment. ”
"Don't say it, they're out, this time let you see it all at once. ”
Sure enough, as soon as the man's voice fell, he saw a team of extraordinary knights walking out of the city gate, a total of ten knights, all with silver armor and silver saddles, and red cloaks, each of them exuding a powerful momentum. The two knights, an old man and a young man, are particularly eye-catching.
The old knight was silver-haired, with a majestic figure and extraordinary bearing, and carried a two-meter-long two-handed broadsword at his waist. Although he was smiling, he had a kind of momentum that was not angry but powerful. His mount is a silver earth-walking dragon that is more than four meters tall. The Earth Walking Dragon is a high-level magical beast, this is obviously a mutated variety, the Earth Walking Dragon has a higher grade, and even awakens a trace of dragon blood, except for a scaly wolf king with golden eyes and golden armor, the mounts of other knights deliberately avoid getting too close to it.
The young man beside the old man had a young face, and he looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. Thick eyebrows and big eyes, tiger head and tiger brain, very attractive, but he tried his best to keep a straight face and pretend to be a young man.
The appearance of the young man and the old man is somewhat similar, and the weapons on his back are exactly the same, and it is also a two-handed broadsword, but it is one size smaller than the old man, and even so, this two-handed sword is longer than the height of the young man. The young man's mount is a golden-armored wolf king, looking forward to it, majestic and majestic, and has a kingly spirit.
"This is the Folding Blade Mercenary Group, led by their leader, Balzac, known as the Sword of the Dragon, who is also an old mercenary who has witnessed the rise of Blue Sea City. He was followed by his grandson, Toltai, a man of divine power, whose mount he had captured with his own hands. Someone recognized the two men, exclaimed, and shouted.
"Hey, that's the leader of the Blue Wolf Mercenary Regiment, Zhihu Karl, and their number one master, the Wind Sword, actually didn't participate in this selection competition. ”
"Yes, what does the Blue Wolf Mercenary Group think, although Zhihu Karl is unparalleled in strategy, there is almost no need for any strategy in this selection competition. And he only brought Martim, although Martim is a rare genius boy in a century, but he is still in his formative years. The arrangement of the blue wolf mercenary group this time is incomprehensible. ”
After the Folded Mercenary Regiment left, another group of knights walked out. They wore crisp blue uniforms and a majestic wolf head painted on their chests, unlike all the knightly professions of the Folding Blade Mercenary Regiment, most of the blue wolf mercenary regiments were non-knight professions, and there was only one real knight profession, and the rest were three magicians, three thieves, two warriors and one shaman. Their leader was a magician, and a fist-sized blue spar embedded in the old staff showed that his magic was biased towards water.
Because of their profession, although they also have mounts, they ride the most docile wildebeest. Only a cold young man beside the regiment commander Karl, riding a one-horned lion, holding a spear, with a sword at his waist, and the leather bag on the one-horned lion was full of throwing spears.
He is the genius boy of Blue Ocean City, Tim. With fiery red hair, he rode a fire-attribute explosive lion, but he had a cold appearance that was not approachable by the living. Like a piece of ice sleeping in flames.
After the Blue Wolf Mercenary Group, it is the most unruly magma mercenary group. They drove four high-powered camouflage vehicles, each with a machine gun and a string of grenades, like a mobile arsenal. Their team members also wore different clothes, some wore camouflage combat uniforms, some wore half-body armor, and some wore gray tights. The driver of the first car was their regimental leader, known as the Black Mist City Wall, and the co-pilot was the first master of the Magma Mercenary Regiment, the Flame Bear Fura.
Both are warriors by profession.
When he heard that people introduced the title of Luoer, Philip subconsciously looked at Li Mo, but saw Li Mo staring at Luoer, with a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes, and he didn't know whether it was aimed at Luoer or Black Mist City.
The last group of people and horses out of the city were the most special, they were all shrouded in a layer of streamlined phantom beast armor, riding exactly the same black demon leopard, exuding a cold and mysterious aura. People can't even tell who their leader is.
This is the most mysterious night mercenary group in Blue Ocean City.
All of their members are Phantom Warriors.
People don't know much about them, only that their leader is named Jie Lei, known as the Pupil of the Abyss, and three years ago, he broke into Yue'er Mountain alone and killed the only fourteenth-order demonic beast, the Wind Snake Beast.
After seeing the phantom armor of the Night Mercenary Regiment, Li Mo's heart moved, and he remembered the phantom beast egg he got on Archibald Mountain. According to Karina, it was a rare dual-attribute manticore-tailed phantom beast egg. The Phantom Beast Armor is the transformation of a mature Phantom Beast, which can greatly enhance the various combat attributes of the Phantom Beast's owner, and even stimulate the combat skills that belong to the Phantom Beast.
Because cultivating a phantom beast requires first signing a contract with the young beast, and then raising the phantom beast with the contractor's own fighting spirit, it takes several years to cultivate a mature phantom beast, so Li Mo did not have the idea of raising a phantom beast at first, because his fighting spirit foundation is too strong, which makes it very difficult to advance, and where can he squeeze out the excess fighting spirit to cultivate the phantom beast.
However, if you can always have enough thunder attribute crystals and magic crystals to accelerate your Dou Qi cultivation, you can also consider cultivating a phantom beast.
After the four major mercenary groups left the city one after another, the people who watched the excitement also began their own journeys.
These four mercenary groups are all the top mercenary groups in Blue Ocean City, and the ten participating members sent by them are also the absolute main members, all of whom are dragons among people.
The old residents of Blue Ocean City are even familiar with each of them. Know their titles, achievements, and personalities.
Therefore, when these people calmly faced the gaze of the audience and went to participate in the selection competition, no one would notice that among the crowd of spectators who applauded and cheered for them, there was a young man with a blank face all the time, who was out of step with the surrounding bustle.
They never imagined that this young man would become a man of the storm in the city a few days later.
