"Captain, I know this."

"Then do you know that you have to choose to take this path as well?"

"Yes."

Zhao Meng smiled bitterly.

"It's really stubborn, you're stubborn, it's like a friend of mine."

"Huh?"

The snow was still falling, and the night was getting deeper, Zhao Meng spread his palm and the snow fell, falling into memory.

"That was more than twenty years ago, when I was not the head of the vigilante, but a mercenary. At that time, Bloody Fang had just formed a mercenary group, and at that time I was already a single sword warrior with the title of martial arts instructor. But I wasn't the best of my mercenary group at the time, but my friend. He, like me, is a Ishian. He is very good at swordsmanship, whether it is a one-handed short sword, a one-handed broadsword, or a two-handed sword, he is very powerful, so until now I can't figure out whether his profession is a single sword warrior or a double sword warrior or a great sword warrior. If he didn't use his fighting spirit to compete with swordsmanship, I believe he should be called one of the best masters in this continent. By the way, he is also very good at throwing knives and three sword flow techniques. It's a pity...... With such a talent in swordsmanship, I don't know why, one day, he suddenly said that he wanted to give up the warrior profession and become a demon swordsman, which is really incomprehensible...... I don't listen to any persuasion. ”

Listening to Zhao Meng's story, in fact, Wu Yu's heart was difficult to calm down.

"Captain, is that friend of yours surnamed Wu?"

Zhao Meng was a little surprised, but also a little surprised.

"Yes, his surname is Wu, and his full name is Wu Menglong."

"He's my father."

The air suddenly quieted down, and at that moment, Zhao Meng stared at Wu Yu's face, and the young man in front of him slowly overlapped with the figure in his mind.

"I see...... I see, I just said that the way you look is a little familiar, it turns out that you are Wu Menglong's son! ”

Zhao Meng suddenly realized.

"By the way, kid, what's your name?"

"Captain, my name is Wu Yu."

"Speechless? It's speechless! What the hell did your dad give you a name? ”

"The head of the regiment is not the 'language' of 'speechless', but the 'Yu' of 'Tingyu' and 'Dianyu'."

Zhao Meng laughed.

"It turned out to be this Yu, ha. In the days when I was a mercenary, your father was one of my best friends, so don't keep calling me the head of the regiment, just call me uncle. ”

Wu Yu nodded and respectfully called "Uncle Zhao".

An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Meng's mouth, like a ripple on the surface of a lake that quickly crossed his face.

"By the way, your father is doing well, I haven't heard from him for a long time."

"My father died last year, and the demon swordsman who cultivated the demon swordsman passed away because the fighting spirit was too strong, and the magic power was too weak, and the fighting energy and magic power in his body collided, and the fighting spirit reversed and passed away......"

Hearing this news, Zhao Meng was stunned for a moment, and his pupils dimmed in an instant.

"Really...... This guy ...... Ay...... Then you have to be like him, stubbornly follow this path? ”

"Yes, I will inherit his ideals and become a Holy Demon Swordsman."

"Confused! Dou Qi magic is originally an energy that excludes each other, and at the same time, Dou Qi and magic can go wrong at any time! ”

Wu Yu was stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Meng to suddenly get angry.

"I've made up my mind, Uncle Zhao won't persuade me anymore."

Zhao Meng shook his head and sighed.

"Wu Menglong is stubborn, I didn't expect his son to be as stubborn as him, hey......"

Zhao Meng patted Wu Yu lightly and said lightly: "No matter what difficulties you have in the future, you can come to me at any time."

Wu Yu nodded.

Zhao Meng suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Xiao Yu, when it comes to the fact that your father suddenly wants to change the profession of demon swordsman, it is because after returning from that expedition to the ruins of the Black Forest, he depends on what he found in that ruins, which led him to make such a crazy decision as a demon swordsman......

"Black Forest Ruins?"

Zhao Meng nodded and briefly described the adventure experience at that time.

It turned out that twenty years ago, Zhao Meng's mercenary group obtained a map of the ruins by chance, located in the Black Forest. Because there are usually priceless treasures in the ruins, Zhao Meng and the others decided to go into the Black Forest to look for the ruins, hoping to find something. With the guidance of the map, they successfully found the ruins, and the dilapidated architectural style of the ruins was probably from the hands of the ancestors of the Achasia people thousands of years ago, but there was a very powerful barrier on the periphery of the ruins, and only the blood of the Ashiyah people with a certain purity could enter it. The purity of Zhao Meng's Yaxia bloodline was not high enough, so he couldn't get in, but Wu Yu's father, Wu Menglong, did. When he came out of the ruins, Wu Menglong was seriously injured, his expression was very serious, and he didn't know what was going on inside. Then not long after the adventure group returned, Wu Menglong suddenly said that he was going to change his profession as a demon swordsman and give up his identity as a mercenary and choose to go into hiding, as for what was in the ruins, Wu Menglong never said, so the ruins were still a mystery.

"Since you are going to follow the same path as your father, I think you can enter the ruins of that Yaxia ancestor, and maybe you can know the specific reason why your father suddenly turned to a demon swordsman."

After Zhao Meng finished speaking, he handed Wu Yu a map, the material of the map looked like the magic skin of some kind of demonic beast, because of the long stay revealed a musty smell, covered with fine lines like spider webs.

Wu Yu carefully put away the map and secretly decided that he must go to the ruins if he had the chance.

……

The cottage of the Head Mountain Thieves is on the peak of Kalsica, the third highest mountain in the Kalka Mountains, and it is undoubtedly the fastest route to go directly through the Waibobir Forest.

On the fifth day of the march, the party approached the peak of Mount Kalsica. The speed of the march slowed down, and under Zhao Meng's order, one scout team after another was released, and everyone remained vigilant, because from here on, they could encounter an ambush by thieves at any time, and the complex forest terrain was very suitable for ambushes.

There is a village in the Waibobir Forest where the villagers live by hunting, but this village was plundered and bloodied by the Toushan bandits three years ago, and is now in ruins. However, there are still a lot of wooden houses here that are relatively intact, so this is the camping point chosen for this night, because there is a guardrail on the perimeter of the village, which can be used as a good defensive position.

"Commander, the Horned Eagle Scout has received news that in the early morning, a group of the Toushan Bandits came out of the cottage, numbering about 1,500 people, and they arrived at the Waippomore Plain at noon today, as if they had set up an ambush there......"

Hearing the latest report of the deputy head of the regiment, Jeffrey, Zhao Meng still felt a little surprised, he flipped out the map and spread it out.

"Where?"

"Here."

Beyond the Waibomore Forest is the Waipomore Plains, which is not too wide to span, about 60 kilometers or so, and you can reach the Kalsika Mountains through the Waibomore Plains.

The spot Jeffrey pointed to on the map was the plain just outside the edge of the Waibobill Forest. As soon as this team leaves the Waibobir Forest, they will be immediately ambushed by the Toushan Bandits.

"In the Waipbowir Forest, because the terrain is difficult and suitable for ambushes, the army must be on high alert and on guard at all times when crossing the forest. And out of the Waibobir Forest, it was the time when the army was most relaxed, and choosing the ambush there was indeed a surprise attack. I really didn't expect Roconit to become cunning. ”

Jeffrey nodded and said, "Captain, fortunately, we have a Horned Eagle Scout, who can fly in the sky and monitor every move of the Toushan Bandits at all times."

Zhao Meng smiled slightly.

"Mondos, this kid has done a good job, give him a credit."

"However, it has been snowing for the past two days, and the aerial reconnaissance vision has been affected, but I don't know if there has been any change in the Toushan bandit group in those two days."

"Tomorrow morning it will be almost noon, and our army will almost leave the Waibobir Forest, inform the major teams and those mercenaries, and let them prepare for the next day's battle."

The camp of the "Wind and Snow Mercenary Group" is a dilapidated wooden house in an abandoned village, and other mercenary groups are camped nearby, the wooden houses are not enough, and some mercenaries still have to sleep in tents.

As soon as Izuk delivered the news that the battle was about to start tomorrow, the mercenaries began to whisper to each other, and there was an atmosphere in the whole mercenary camp where the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, and they were drawing their crossbows.

Wu Yu was infected by this atmosphere, it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous, this was his first time in the war, and if he didn't want to die on the battlefield, he had to kill someone.

Wu Yu secretly glanced at several members of the group, wanting to see their reactions. The old mercenary Darren had obviously experienced such a thing, and he was not shocked, and there was occasionally a faint hint of excitement in his eyes. Tsubaki looks quite calm, and at the age of 155, he is not living in vain. As for Beldon, she was the most relaxed one and didn't even react at all to the news.

Wu Yu curiously leaned his head to Beldon, and asked in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, "Berdon, have you ever killed someone before?"

"Murder? Of course I have killed them, and those dragon slayers who are not capable of self-defeat, intent on robbing me of my treasure, all deserve to die. ”

"What does it feel like to kill someone?"

"Feelings? Don't feel anything? It's like killing ants. But it doesn't taste very good......"

"Taste...... Flavor!? ”

Wu Yu couldn't help but shudder! Suddenly I lost interest in asking her for advice.

Darren obviously saw Wu Yu's nervousness, turned his head and said to him with a smile.

"Take a deep breath...... Taking a deep breath can relieve tension in your heart. ”

Wu Yu scratched his head embarrassedly, tried to take a few deep breaths, and felt much better.

"Uncle Darren, aren't there hostages in the Toushan Thieves Regiment? Shouldn't the hostages be negotiated or rescued first? ”

"Negotiation is definitely needed, and the hostages must also be saved, but before that, the Toushan Thieves and the Sybil Town Security Regiment must have a fight, this is to add some bargaining chips to the negotiation table. The Sybil Town Security Regiment hopes to suppress the spirit of the Toushan Bandits and prepare for the next operation to rescue the hostages. The Toushan Thieves want to raise the ransom, and if they defeat the Sybil Town vigilantes, they will have more confidence to demand the ransom. Why do you think the Toushan Bandits would let a live mouth go back to report the news? Hehe, the Toushan thieves group has great ambitions, maybe they want to use these noble children as bait, and it may not be ...... to eat our encirclement and suppression army."
