Chapter 152: The Battle of Taniguchi
"Instead of guessing here, it's better to hurry into the valley and have a look, if you go late, I'm afraid there won't even be a black dragon scale. Elena grumbled.
Yang Fan smiled, agreed with her words for a rare time, and then ordered everyone to continue walking towards the valley.
On the way to the valley, the corpses of mercenaries can be seen everywhere, and there are even many members of the Iron and Blood Mercenary Regiment. Judging from the traces of the battle, it should be that the people of the iron-blooded mercenary group clashed with others, and although Yang Fan had not seen the details with his own eyes, he could guess a rough idea.
When he was in the Drunken Dream Hotel before, the mercenary had told Yang Fan that before the Iron and Blood Mercenary Group, a group of people had already formed a group to capture the black dragon, and Yang Fan originally thought that those people were all rabble, but now it seems that this is not the case.
At least being able to wipe out nearly half of a large group of men and horses of the Iron and Blood Mercenary Regiment is not something that a group of rabble can do, and they don't have that much courage.
As for why the two sides clashed, needless to say, it must have been the consistent arrogance and domineering of the iron-blooded mercenary group that caused the trouble, I wonder if they originally wanted to clear the scene, but they didn't expect to be almost destroyed by others.
At this time, Yang Fan finally knew why the people of the Iron Blood Mercenary Group would kill those few people who wanted to return to Hernis City, they killed their two thousand members, it would be strange if they still let those people go back.
The further you walked, the more corpses there were on the side of the road, and the atmosphere between the groups became more and more dreary. After silently climbing over a protruding hillside, the scene in the valley finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The shape of the whole valley is concave, with cliffs on both sides of a hundred feet high, and the bottom of the valley is a flat meadow with no trees. In the depths of the valley there was a slope of sixty degrees, and at the top of the slope there was a huge cave, which was supposed to be the lair of the black dragon.
Near the entrance of the valley, there is a large number of people dressed as mercenaries, who are confronting the people of the Iron and Blood Mercenary Group, and in terms of numbers, there seems to be more of that group of mercenaries, but it is unknown how many top masters among them are for the time being.
Because they were too far apart, although they knew what the two groups of people were communicating, Yang Fan and the others couldn't hear it. However, it can be seen from the actions of the representatives of the two parties that they seem to be very angry, especially Roth of the Iron and Blood Mercenary Group, who keeps waving his arms while talking, as if he is roaring.
"Hey, hey, there's a good show. The corners of Yang Fan's mouth curled, and after finding a stone slab and sitting down, he said leisurely.
Catherine walked up to him and sat down, but sighed: "It looks like they're going to fight, hey! For a black dragon, I don't know how many more people will die, why should these people bother!"
Turning his head to look at Catherine, Yang Fan couldn't help but feel a little emotional. For people in this world, strength is everything, they who respect strength are never afraid of death, and these mercenaries who live on the tip of the knife all year round have become accustomed to death, so as long as there are benefits, as long as they can become strong, they never lack the spirit of adventure.
"Where there are interests, there is fighting, this is a law that can never be changed!" Yang Fan also sighed.
Seeing the two sighing there, Elena pursed her lips and said, "You two should stop pretending to be deep there, let's enjoy their battles!"
As he spoke, he saw that Taniguchi's two gangs of centaurs had collided together, and for a while, the fighting spirit was flying, the magic was dancing, and the scene was not lively.
Yang Fan, Elena and the others watched it with great interest, after all, it was none of their business, and the fate of these people was really driven by **, even if they died, they didn't care about their business.
And although Catherine looked calm on the surface, her pale face betrayed her heart deeply. Discovering her abnormality, Yang Fan gently grabbed her hand and glanced at her as if encouraging. Feeling Yang Fan's concern, Catherine's slightly trembling body settled down, and a pair of bright eyes also revealed a trace of firmness.
She had always felt as if she was good for nothing, and it took a long time to learn how to cook a simple breakfast, especially Elena and Eleni, who were both in charge and in charge, but who didn't know anything herself, and even learned to cook a simple breakfast for a long time.
It's the same now, everyone can be calm when they see such a battle scene, but she is trembling on the side, which can't help but make her feel even more cowardly, so she secretly made a decision in her heart.
Taniguchi's battle has entered a white-hot stage from the beginning, after all, the iron-blooded mercenary group is the top mercenary group in the mainland, and its strength is still stronger than the other side in general, and even the six saint-level masters have not made a move, but only pressed the formation behind. Of course, the arrogant and domineering Roth naturally hid behind the six at the beginning of the battle.
However, the weak also have a way of dealing with the weak, and I saw that in the team of mixed mercenaries, more than a dozen people dressed as magicians suddenly ran out and ran straight towards the location of the black dragon's lair.
Due to the obstruction of their line of sight, the people of the Iron Blood Mercenary Group couldn't see the scene behind each other at all, so no one stopped those magicians. By the time the magician ran up the hillside where the black dragon's lair was located, it was too late for the Iron Mercenary Group to stop them.
"What do those people want to do, don't they themselves suffer if they alarm the black dragon?" said Elena in surprise as she looked at the magicians on the hillside.
Mulley, Catherine, and the others were also amazed, and could not understand the intentions of the magicians.
Yang Fan smiled and said: "They are very smart! Black Dragons don't care which force they belong to, they will definitely kill people when they come out, so in order to reduce losses, the six saint-level masters of the Iron Blood Mercenary Group can't take care of these miscellaneous soldiers, and... That group of seemingly chaotic mercenaries is not simple!"
In fact, when he saw the corpses of those mercenaries before, Yang Fan knew that these mercenaries must be ordinary, otherwise how could they destroy the two thousand people of the iron-blooded mercenary group. Now that he watched the battle in the valley, he was even more sure of his guess.
It turned out that since the battle at Taniguchi began, Yang Fan had been paying attention to the group of mixed mercenaries, and he found that although the battle between the two sides seemed to be fierce on the surface, it was not. Because there are a lot of people in the mixed mercenary team who have been hiding in the rear and have not made much effort, only occasionally attacking a few times, but even their random attacks are deadly, it is obvious that these people are real masters.
Obviously have the strength but want to hide it, either they can't see people or have ulterior motives, so Yang Fan feels that these people are not simple, especially now after seeing the actions of the dozen or so magicians, Yang Fan guessed their purpose.
