Chapter 45: The Mercenary Group

"To submit an application for the establishment of a group, you must first fill in these documents, and then pay the fee of 5 gold coins, but you must remember that the mercenary group that has just been established is still in the observation period, and only after completing 3 commissions can it be turned formal, and you can really get the various services provided by the mercenary union. ”

It's one of the largest buildings in Greytown and the seat of the Mercenary Guild, and it's Miss Connie, the receptionist with a professional smile.

"There's still a probationary period," Li Ang muttered as he signed each of the papers, and then handed over the five gold coins with great heartache.

"Just a few of you, tell me the name of the mercenary group," Miss Connie had always felt that these people were too young, and their attitude was like they were here to play, and maybe they would break up soon when they encountered difficulties.

"Name?" Li Ang had difficulty naming when he played games in his previous life, and when he heard this, he was a little confused, so he quickly turned around and asked, "Who has a good Jianyì?"

Jeff shrugged his shoulders, "I won't build a person with such luck, so that you don't get into trouble with me in the future." ”

Leon glared at him and looked at the knight maiden.

"Whatever," Caterina said.

Li Ang really wanted to turn around and tell Miss Connie that the name of the mercenary group was "whatever", but fortunately Sophia said in time: "Otherwise, let's call it Dawn!"

"Why?" everyone was a little curious about the sudden mention of the priest girl who had never had any opinions.

"No, I just thought of it suddenly," Sophia replied as a matter of course.

“...... It's called the Dawn Mercenary Group," Li Ang felt a little literary...... But the name doesn't matter, it will definitely return to the Svir Kingdom in the future, and this mercenary group will probably become history by then.

"Hmm...... Dawn Mercenary Regiment, Leader Li Ang, members of the regiment Caterina, Sophia, Jeff, a total of four," Connie sighed at a seal, "snapped" and covered it, and immediately a burst of red light enveloped Wen Jiàn, and when the red light disappeared, there was a circle on Wen Jiàn with the mark of three long swords.

"Alright, welcome to the Dawn Mercenary Regiment, I look forward to your future activity!" Miss Connie's congratulatory words sounded a little stylized.

"By the way, please read the mercenary rules carefully when you go back!" Connie tossed at the end.

Jeff led the others to the spacious hall, which had a lowest-level magic light curtain, which was constantly updated with all the released missions, and there were already quite a few people gathered around the light curtain, and there were occasional whispers. Seeing these fresh faces coming in, the eyes of many people in the hall turned to them, there was kindness, indifference, and a faint hostility.

Leon randomly picked 3 tasks marked as the least difficult, which were nothing more than some chores, and he was ready to get the formal qualifications first.

But when he received the power of attorney from Miss Connie, a few lines of green letters came into view.

"Hint: Get 1 on a normal mission"

"Hint: Get 2 on General Missions"

"Hint: Get 3 on General Quests"

Is that okay too?

Although it was a bit abrupt, Li Ang had already been trained, and he felt that he could be compared to a nervous priest girl in terms of attribute panels.

Under Jeff's advice, the members of the Dawn Mercenary Group chose the Night Rose Inn as a temporary stop, they have experienced about ten days of wild life, and it is time to enjoy the comfortable big bed.

The layout of the inn room was much more comfortable than that of Rock Town, and even if Leon was anxious to learn about alchemy, he couldn't help but take a shower, and then he was naked and half-lying on the side of the bed and leisurely took out his book.

"Kaka's list of materials?" Leon looked at the words on the cover and was a little confused, was that all?

But as the pages passed, he gradually calmed down.

This does record a lot of materials needed for Kaka alchemy, although there is no knowledge of alchemy, but each material has a picture, and there are some notes such as origin, specifications and so on, which also benefits him a lot.

"Hint: Raise your knowledge of herbs to level 2 and gain 200 XP"

"Hint: Raise your monster knowledge to level 2 and gain 200 XP"

"Tip: Raise your knowledge of minerals to level 2 and gain 200 XP"

Leon turned the last page and closed the book with satisfaction, his experience value was now 2850, which was more than half of the need, and it seemed that learning this knowledge at the beginning was also an effective way to level up.

The next morning, the four of them assembled, and Leon assigned one group of Caterina and Sophia to carry out one of the commissions in a village not far from the town of Ash, and he and Jeff to go farther to a place closer to the Pale Mountains to carry out the other, and then on the way back to complete the last one.

The efficient distribution led to an efficient result, and two days later Leon appeared in front of Miss Connie and placed the certificate of completion of the commission in front of her.

"Yes, it looks like you're very motivated," Connie complimented, changing the status of the Dawn Mercenary Regiment to "official" and handing Leon a metal badge.

The badge is also in the shape of a circle and three swords, so they are eligible to buy and sell items at a discount from the mercenary guild's own shop, and higher level assignments are also open to them.

After all three tasks were marked as completed, and then removed from the magic light curtain, the green font that Li Ang had been waiting for for a long time appeared in his field of vision.

"Tip: Complete 1 normal quest and gain 100 XP"

......

"Hint: Complete 3 normal missions and gain 100 XP"

I used to be very indifferent to tasks in the game, but now I feel a sense of accomplishment......

Li Ang took two more commissions in one go, this time marked with a medium grade, and then went to the shop to buy some basic protection for everyone, and finally purchased a round shield, a longbow and dozens of arrows.

These are not magic items, but they cost about 6 gold coins together, and the mercenary group is once again in financial distress.

But everyone thinks it's nothing, firstly because the equipment is the most important thing for them, and the second reason is that these people are used to it......

Soon after, they appeared two hundred miles west of the Grey Town.

It's a cave that leads to the ground, and it's said that dozens of kobolds from the Pale Mountains have appeared inside, and it's a mission to wipe them all out.

The battle began suddenly, and a kobold patrol spotted the blonde priest girl who stood out in the sunlight, and then it rushed over with a wooden club, and was stabbed to death by Leon with a sword.

This qiē was witnessed by the lookout posts from above, and the deafening sound of metal knocking drew their large troops, a full 40 kobolds, equivalent to the formation of a wartime squad, including 5 cavalrymen, and the fang-toothed boar under them scraped the ground with their hard hind hooves, and the breath of their nostrils blew up dust piece by piece.

Led by the cavalry, the kobold attacked, and the knight girl shrouded in "Divine Magic: Blessing" and "Armor of Faith" swept down one of the cavalrymen in front with a single assault, and Leon followed closely behind and charged over, and then launched a whirlwind slash in the densest place where the kobold infantry was most dense.

The steel whirlwind strangled the dwarf creatures around him, and when the whirlwind disappeared, he jumped into another group of kobolds, and performed this tactic again, almost all around him were mutilated kobold corpses, and even those who were not dead were attacked by the poison of the "spider sting", and their movements began to move slowly.

Jeff was armed with a longbow and shot arrow after arrow, although his archery skills were not at all, but fortunately he could shoot at will at close range in this battle, and he didn't have to care about anything else.

As for accidental injuries, the arrows he shot didn't pose much of a threat to the two second-order professionals.

Five minutes later, Caterina and Leon returned to their original location covered in blood, most of which was from the enemy, and the two of them caused more than 15 kobold casualties, especially the two weapons of "Flame of Wrath" and "Spider Thorn" were like artifacts in front of the kobolds equivalent to cannon fodder. The rest of the kobolds reacted very differently, some of them fled back to the cave in panic, and a dozen or so stayed behind, screaming angrily with a palpable sense of fear.

The kobolds who fled back sprang out at a faster speed, and five new enemies appeared behind them, also kobolds, but they were significantly larger, with rudimentary metal chain mail on their yellow skin, and their weapons were short-handled battle axes.

At the end came another kobold, very thin, with a bird feather tied to his head, and a wooden staff that exceeded his height.

"There is no mention in the mission description that there will be these two classes......" Jeff's expression became stern, "They are kobold warriors and shamans, and they are extremely close to the second-order profession of humans, you should be careful, if you can't retreat first!"

Leon wiped the splattered blood from his neck, and after a period of training, he had become accustomed to the gore and cruelty of the battle, but the kobold's body odor still made him a little unbearable.

"Retreat?" he shook his head.

Ever since he left Locketown, he had a sense of urgency in his heart, the brutal battle had made him realize the reality of the world, the fragments of memories in his mind had made him know that there was a group of sinister enemies in the shadows around him, and they were terrifyingly powerful, and his own mysterious number panel made him feel suspicious from the depths of his heart, and the pressure of all this was heavy when it came together.

He grew to be filled with a desire to improve his strength in every battle, doing everything he could to increase his combat experience and knowledge of the world, and this desire was also reshaping his personality.

So at some point, the feeling of fighting on the tightrope made him enjoy it a little, just like this time, he didn't want to retreat, at least he didn't want to retreat without trying.

"Katarina, leave these infantry and cavalry to you and Jeff, I'll deal with the new enemy, Sophia, you focus on the situation of the two of them, leave me alone. ”

His words were calm and firm, and he seemed to have an aura that he had never seen before, even when he commanded his team to fight in his previous life.

The rest of the team also sensed the slight change in Leon, and Caterina remained silent, but the fire in her eyes proved that the knight girl's heart was also beginning to get excited.

Sophia was still unnerving.

Jeff looked at the reactions of the men, smiled helplessly, dropped the longbow that had been shot in the air, and held the shield and dagger tightly.
