Chapter 42: Chivalry
Tatsuno and the others swaggered towards the ice wolf mercenary group station, and the two mercenaries guarding the door glanced at the two of them and did not stop them.
It's normal for strangers to come to the camp to trade, gamble, and have fun.
"There must be tens of thousands of people living here." Tatsuno said as he stood at the entrance of the street, looking at the crowded and dense houses.
"Tens of thousands?" Bai Yuan whispered, "I'm afraid that people from a radius of thirty or forty kilometers have gathered here." ”
The two of them walked on the street, pedestrians were in a hurry along the way, stalls were next to each other, the cries were endless, and there was even a two-story restaurant.
Above the restaurant, women with heavy makeup kept throwing winks at passers-by.
"Big brother, come here to have fun! ~”
From time to time, strong men walk into the restaurant, and there are also people who hug left and right and laugh and walk out.
It looks like a wild town.
Tatsuno and the others found a restaurant and sat down.
The restaurant was shabby, the wooden tables were a little deformed, and the guy was not enthusiastic, so he walked over indifferently and asked, "What to eat, there are wolf meat, porcupine, and snake bones today." ”
"Snake bone soup, a serving." Bai Yuan said.
"Okay." The guy responded lightly.
"Wait, do you have any wine?" Bai Yuan said again.
The man's face changed slightly, and he suddenly became warm: "Yes, how many bottles do you want?" ”
"Two bottles, white, from Yuehu City." Bai Yuan stretched out two fingers.
"Okay!" The guy smiled and said, "Wait a minute, right away!" ”
Tatsuno watched the guy run away and asked, "Wine is precious, isn't it?" ”
"A bottle costs about three thousand." Bai Yuan nodded, "In the wilderness area, all items from the city are expensive. ”
"Come on!"
The guy shouted, arrived with two bottles of inferior liquor, and then opened them.
The rough aroma of wine spreads and attracts the attention of those around you.
Although the mercenaries and hunters here can afford to drink, they are only willing to drink during the festival.
"Use it slowly, and the snake bone soup will arrive immediately!" The guy said enthusiastically.
"How much does this snake bone soup cost?" Tatsuno asked.
"Guest, the snake bones of the second-order blue and white snake used in this snake bone soup cost one hundred and thirty yuan."
"Expensive?" Bai Yuan frowned, "How much can that small piece of snake bone in your snake bone soup be worth so much money?" ”
"Hey!" The man waved his hand, "Guest, don't you know, there is going to be a big battle recently, and many hunters don't go out to hunt so as not to be injured by mistake." ”
"Oh? What big battle? ”
The guy said: "What could it be, it's our Ice Wolf Mercenary Regiment that is going to do something to the Great Xia Divine Guard, are you from out of town?" Don't know about the Great Xia Divine Guard? ”
"I don't know." Tatsuno and Bai Yuan said frankly.
"Hehe, I don't know this?" A bare-chested strong man at the next table said, "This Great Xia Divine Guard is very majestic, it suddenly appeared in our area, and wiped out the Tiger Bandit Gang in one fell swoop, expanding to several thousand people in just two months." ”
"You're talking about the residents of their settlement, and I've heard that there are only a few hundred real soldiers, and they're all second-order and first-order rookies." Another thin man said disdainfully.
"That's their guys too!" The strong man said, "In short, the appearance of this gang threatens the Ice Wolf Mercenary Group, and I heard that the captain of the Ice Wolf Mercenary Group was once a member of the Tiger Bandit Gang, and this will definitely take revenge." ”
"And it's a head-to-head duel," said another person, "didn't you read the notice from Nan Feng?" Fight with the Great Xia Divine Guard in the mass grave slope, a hundred people against a hundred people, a fair duel, what is called chivalry. ”
"Hahaha, chivalry?!" The crowd burst into laughter.
Tatsuno and Bai Yuan glanced at each other with subtle expressions.
"Here comes the snake bone soup!" The guy came over with a bowl of snake bone broth.
The snake bone soup was very thin, and the two snake bones with not much meat were floating alone, very cold.
Tatsuno and the others took the chopsticks and pounded them twice, tasted them, and then spit them out.
"What does this smell like......
The mercenary hunters, who were aroused in chatting, were still discussing enthusiastically, and Tatsuno paid and walked out of the restaurant with Bai Yuan.
They continued to walk deeper, through the lively streets, and saw the heavily guarded camp of the Ice Wolf Mercenary Regiment.
In the camp surrounded by iron fences, mercenaries wearing uniform black combat uniforms patrolled by, and on both sides of the rejecting horses at the entrance, there was a heavily armed mercenary standing guard, his face was cold and fierce, and at first glance he was a veteran of a hundred battles.
You can hear neat cheers from the depths of the camp, full of murderous intent.
Long Ye's eyes became solemn, and he pulled Bai Yuan and walked away quickly.
"It's not easy."
"What should I do?" Bai Yuan asked, "Will you fight as agreed?" ”
Tatsuno pondered for a moment and said, "If we want to fight, we may not necessarily lose, but if we don't fight, the Ice Wolf Mercenary Group may go directly to the waterfall stronghold, and the houses that the people have worked so hard to build will definitely be gone." ”
"Then make an appointment." Bai Yuan's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, "We are not easy to bully. ”
Tatsuno paced back and forth, and finally said: "You go back first and tell the news here to Brother Xuanguan, and ask him to get ready, select a hundred elite warriors, and bring the best weapons and equipment, but, others are also coming, ambushing on the periphery of the mass grave slope, I have a hunch that the Ice Wolf Mercenary Group will not honestly send only a hundred people to fight." ”
"What about you?"
"I'll stay here, rest assured, with my strength, it's still okay to run," Tatsuno said, "I'm keeping an eye on them here, and if there's anything unusual, I'll quickly return and relay the news to you." ”
"I can also stay here, you go and tell the big brother in the entrance." Bai Yuan shook his head.
"You can't do it, with your temperament, you really encounter danger and you are determined to fight hard." Tatsuno smiled.
Bai Yuan was stunned and touched his nose: "Okay, if you stay here, you must pay attention to safety, the Great Xia Divine Guard can't do without you." ”
"Well, don't worry."
Bai Yuan entered the crowd and quickly walked away.
Tatsuno glanced at the Ice Wolf Mercenary Group camp and continued to observe.
Inside the camp of the Ice Wolf Mercenary Regiment.
In the tent, Smith sat first, and the five captains under his command sat separately.
"How about Nanfeng, Great Xia, oh, no, did the criminal bandit army reply to the letter?" Smith asked with a smile.
"They won't reply," Nan Feng said, "and if they do, they'll rush to the mass grave slope to meet them." ”
"What if they don't go?"
Nan Feng frowned: "Then we have to go to them and force them to come out and fight us." ”
"Can't you just hit the waterfall stronghold?" Smith squinted.
Nan Feng pondered for a moment and said, "This battle has nothing to do with those civilians. ”
The other four captains immediately looked at Nan Feng with dissatisfaction.
"What does it have to do with them, since they live there, they have accepted the protection of the criminal army of bandits."
"Isn't it good to kill them all and rob them of their things? Yes? Nanfeng, you're not sympathetic to those sinners, are you? ”
"Many exiles have not awakened their souls, otherwise they would not have been exiled here."
Nan Feng sneered at the four: "The massacre of civilians will only cause public outrage. ”
"Public outrage? What's the use? One of the captains scoffed, "No matter how angry those trash sinners who haven't awakened their spirits, they're just a toothless mad dog, and I'll kick them to death." ”
