Chapter Two Hundred and Six: Misty Forest

I smiled indifferently and said, "No matter who we were, we are just mercenaries hired by you now, and nothing else matters to you. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Mirante smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm just curious, hehe, curious." ”
I naturally knew that he was just curious, but I didn't want to face his temptation, so I directly singled it out.
"By the way, in this case, you have always stayed in Ancient Cassia, right?" Thinking that he was originally in the capital of Ancient Chas, I suddenly became interested, and asked curiously, "I don't know that there is a Jesse in the Ancient Chas Empire #8226; Marquis of Daronx, do you know each other?"
"Oh, the Daronx family?" Mirante gave me a strange look and said, "Don't you know that we are members of the Daronx family. Although my wife is not the Marquis of Daronx, oh no, a direct member of the Duke's family, she is also an important member of the family. ”
"Ahh Now all the problems were solved, but I don't know if she knew the kind Madame de Montesia. Otherwise, it's a lot of fun.
However, I was obviously disappointed, as Filia and Montessia obviously didn't know each other, and there were no confessions along the way that I had imagined. It's not that I want to see the excitement, it's because she's been isolated from her family for so long, and I don't want her to continue like this.
The route chosen by the convoy is the fastest, but because of this, the danger on the road is correspondingly much higher. Although the danger of the Misty Forest is not as dangerous as the four major dangers, it is also full of dangers, although we are only passing through the periphery this time, we may also encounter a large number of demonic beasts at any time.
The continent is densely forested with mountains, and there are really many places like the Misty Forest, and such places are basically the territory of Warcraft. As for whether you will encounter Warcraft, it depends on your luck. It is said that hundreds of years ago, there was a caravan of several thousand people, and after entering the misty forest, it happened to encounter a horde of demonic beasts, and the whole army was wiped out.
However, after all, such things are only a minority, and there has only been such a thing once in hundreds of years, and in general, it is still very safe. A small amount of Warcraft can only be regarded as a small adjustment for the guards and mercenaries of large caravans.
The Plains of Chaos is the most complicated place on the continent, and almost all the famous thieves on the continent started from here. Some desperate mercenaries or soldiers who have lost their country, and even some civilians who are not able to resist the oppression of nobles, will come here to look for opportunities. So, any bandit of thieves can grow quickly here. Although there is no truly powerful group of thieves here that can threaten this caravan, together, it is enough to discourage any mercenary group.
Along the way, nothing happened on the road, except that the head of the Burning Flame still despised me very much. However, I am not surprised, after all, in the eyes of mercenaries, strength is the key. This is a chance to rely on other mercenaries to complete a mission, and it may never be in the future.
Alice was entangled by Mondelsia's youngest son, and because of the few playmates along the way, the little one almost became Alice's tail, but, perhaps because of the experience, Alice seemed to be particularly precocious, ignoring the childish little one, and riding her own Cher after me at every opportunity. She also deliberately hung the wooden sword I gave her around her waist, but she looked like a little swordsman, which made people angry.
Five days later, we began to enter the Misty Forest. In the territory of the Ottous Empire and the Gulchas Empire, there will be no problems with caravans. In order to reach the Gulchath Empire as quickly as possible, crossing the Misty Forest is the most direct way. The guards of the Daronx family guarded the carriage, while the Flame Mercenaries guarded the perimeter, but they protected us inside. In order to avoid a surprise attack by the monster, Captain Mandelo also sent several thieves to investigate in front. As soon as a large number of demonic beasts appear, an alarm will be raised immediately.
Inside the Misty Forest, a thin thick fog obscured the view of everyone in the caravan, and the Misty Forest got its name because the entire forest here was completely shrouded in a light mist. After a demon wolf emerged from the mist and bit a mercenary, the mercenaries couldn't help but raise their vigilance. As we slowly deepened, the demonic beasts appeared more and more frequently, and the density of attacks began to increase. However, the previous warning did not appear, and it was clear that the thieves who had been sent out first were dead. By the time they set up camp, there were already dozens of mercenaries injured by the monsters, although the rescue was timely, neither dead nor too seriously injured, but the strength of such an attack was obviously beyond estimate.
Captain Mandello began to get agitated, according to the scheduled journey, we were going to stay in the Misty Forest for about five days, and this was the first day. With the information he knew, the intensity of the attack of the demonic beast would continue to increase, and judging from the current situation, the next few days would definitely not be easy, he had already learned about the misty forest in advance, but this situation was obviously completely different from what he knew.
The next day, the attack of the demonic beasts became more violent, and the number of appearances had changed from a few or a dozen yesterday to dozens of them at the same time, and the mercenaries finally suffered real casualties. If dozens of mid-level demonic beasts suddenly attacked together, they could quickly defeat the mercenaries in that direction. Although the surrounding mercenaries quickly went up to assist in the defense and could soon kill those magical beasts, they could not save the fate of the attacked mercenaries who were seriously injured or even killed.
This was also my mission, and I couldn't stay out of it anymore, so I found Captain Mandello and said seriously: "It's absolutely impossible to go on like this, I think, we must send some more scouts to the front to reconnoitre." ”
Mandelo said angrily: "Do you think I don't know? But those five people yesterday were the most clever scouts under my command, and even they died silently, do you want me to send my men to die again?"
"I'll go, but you also have to send someone to warn you, after all, I don't understand your warning signs. I said indifferently.
"You?" said Mandello, his offer clearly unexpected. "This is not a game, in which the vision is affected by fog, which adds a lot of danger to the scouts' activities. If you're not careful, you'll die silently like my five members yesterday, so do you still want to go?"
"I'm pretty sure. I said calmly.
"Alright then, I'll send my Captain of the Thieves with you, and with his experience and strength, I think I can reduce some danger when you reconnoitre. Mandelo said earnestly, and at the same time, beckoned a thief to come over. "This is Hanny, a great thief whose strength is comparable to that of a sword master, and I hope that my decision this time will not make me lose this good brother who has followed me since the founding of the group. ”
I nodded, noncommittal, and watched as Captain Mandello earnestly explained a few words to Hanny the Thief. Obviously, he was completely worried about my strength, and he didn't have the slightest confidence in whether he would be able to successfully reconnoiter the information of the Demon Beast.
"No, boss, why don't you just let me go alone, because one more person at this time is probably fatal. Hanny the thief exclaimed.
"There's no way, this mission was proposed by Captain Long, so I can only arrange it like this. I hope you'll take care of him a little bit more along the way, but if you can't, you'll have to find a chance to leave on your own. Mandello said helplessly, he didn't want to hide what I meant in the slightest.
I smiled slightly, not the slightest bit unhappy with this arrangement. The most important thing for scouts is to be flexible, not all about strength, but also on experience. And if I really don't have the slightest experience, it will only be a burden to carry me, but it will be a lot more dangerous. It's really normal for him to explain this.
Hanny nodded earnestly, greeted me, and slammed forward. I was just about to follow, but Mandelo suddenly said seriously: "I'm sorry, I apologize to you for my rudeness a few days ago." As it turns out, you're a qualified mercenary. ”
I smiled and waved my hand, slammed into Hanny the Thief, and disappeared into the mist ahead.
Behind her, Madame de Montessia, who was sitting in the carriage, said worriedly to Filia beside her, "Won't it be a problem for the dragon commander to go like this?" Although Filia insisted that she was a mercenary and should not stay in the carriage like her, she could not resist Montessia's enthusiasm.
"Don't worry! Xiao Tian will not have an accident. Filia said with a smile. No matter how powerful the demonic beasts here are, how can they compare to the blue swamp? If something happens to Xiaotian, then even if all the demonic beasts here appear together, it may be a little possible, right?
Mondesia was very curious about Philia's ease and confidence, and asked suspiciously, "Aren't you worried at all?"
Phia smiled indifferently and asked rhetorically, "What is there to worry about?"
Montessia was dumbfounded, infected by Filia's current composure and calm, she didn't realize that there would be no danger at all when she went to reconnoiter this time. However, she immediately came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "This is a misty forest! ”
However, at this time, Alice, who was riding Cher over, suddenly made her dumb again. "Bad brother, go play and don't take me, you must look good when you come back. ”
Montessia couldn't help but look at Filia and Alice, who had already run to the front of the convoy and turned her horse back, and her curiosity about this strange mercenary group increased a little. Is it their blind self-confidence, or is the strength of this dragon leader really amazing enough to treat the misty forest as nothing? What kind of strength is needed to make them so confident?
