Chapter Fifty-Eight: Preparations for the Expedition

Because of the contract with the caravan, the departure time was set for 3 days later. It took so long for the caravan to sort out the goods and something, which just gave the Silver Oak Mercenary Group a time to prepare.

You must know that the people in the inner courtyard of the Ludao Mercenary Group, although their strength has increased by leaps and bounds during this period of time, coupled with the enhanced weapons, equipment with magic power, and the blessing of the statue in the money box, it can be said that any person has the strength to challenge beyond the level.

However, except for Bruce and his group of old buddies, even if the others have a level 5 strength, Xiuth, their usual task is only to circle around Silver Mountain City, and they don't have this kind of experience at all.

So after confirming the time, Illya immediately gathered everyone together and held a brief internal meeting, and the group of old mercenaries arranged and assigned tasks to everyone.

The mercenaries in the inner courtyard, excluding Fang Qiubai and his group, have a total of 12 people, and the lowest strength is also level four, so they only need to prepare some daily necessities, as well as medicines needed at critical times.

So Rudolph only mentioned this matter a little, and instead focused on explaining the matters that need to be paid attention to for long-distance escorts, after all, this is the first mission, and if he misses, the reputation of the Silver Oak Mercenary Group will definitely be affected.

"According to my information, there is no big problem before going from Silver Mountain City to the Famine Desert, the key is this desert. Rudolph told the people present the information he had obtained over the years very seriously: "If you first cross the famine desert, it normally takes more than 10 days, and this is still a smooth situation. Moreover, the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge, so clothes and supplies must be prepared. There are multiple magical beasts on the edge of the desert, but the threat is not great, there is only one level 3 magical beast called the flying sand beast that needs attention, they are relatively small, look like wolves, and like to haunt in groups, the biggest problem is that they can usually sand themselves, hide in the yellow sand, and suddenly turn into a beast after approaching you, and when the flying sand beast is sandy, it is difficult to feel its existence. So be sure to keep an eye on this at all times. ”

Seeing everyone listening carefully to their explanations, Rudolph nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "In addition to more demonic beasts, there will also be zombies, which can only appear in the famine desert, which is formed by the corpses of people who died in the desert, with highly poisonous, if you are injured and do not interpret it at the first time, you will also become a companion of zombies." But fortunately, they are slow and not very threatening. ”

"After the last, I'm not sure if it's true, it is said that sometimes there will be huge storms in the desert, and along with the storm, there will be some ruins that are usually hidden underground, and those super powerful high-level magical beasts will also appear at this time, it is said that half of the last time the Thunderwolf Mercenary Group died in the famine desert because they met the storm, and as a result, a huge scorpion seven or eight meters high appeared along with the storm, but because their members kept silent, I can't be sure if it's true. Rudolph cautioned cautiously.

The faces of the people present were all tense, and they kept this matter firmly in their hearts.

"In the past two days, those with less than level 5 strength, seize the time to take on tasks in the assembly hall and strive for a breakthrough, and those above level 5 will use the blacksmith shop to strengthen their weapons more, and then there will be 17 novices in the outer courtyard who will join, and at least 17 strengthened weapons will be needed here, and then the rest of the time, everyone will try to strengthen their weapons as much as possible, or try to change them if they are not good. Seeing that Rudolph had finished, Illya stood up and arranged.

"Why don't you take the task if you are above level 5? Anyway, the waiting time for the enhancement is idle. Fang Qiubai signaled that he had a problem.

"It is impossible for a level 5 person to break through level 6 in just two days, so it is better to take this opportunity to train those 17 mercenaries more, after all, they are only level 3 at the highest, and the difference in strength is relatively obvious, and if there is an accident at that time, it will also be a loss. Illya explained.

"I'll summarize what the Warcraft materials are needed to exchange equipment, and I'll ask Yagami to collect them as soon as possible, and they must do one set per person. Fang Qiubai gestured to Bruce, who usually managed the warehouse.

"And what you have on you is also counted, and all the equipment of dogs, dragons, green bears, etc., will be replaced. I remember that there were a few dragons who lived in the desert, and their equipment was just right for you to wear on this mission, and all of your equipment was replaced for those newbies. With a wave of his hand, Fang Qiubai decided to change the clothes of all the people present, and poor Yagami was treated as coolies. On the contrary, the mercenaries present were all excited, after all, although they repeatedly took tasks in the assembly hall every day, but because of their strength, the main targets were still 3-star - 4-level Warcraft, the higher the level of Warcraft, the lower the efficiency, so the best equipment worn so far is only a 3-star Painted Bird suit.

"Finally, this time I want to choose 17 newcomers from the outer courtyard, and they haven't taken any tasks since they joined. Compared to the sequelae you gave this Warcraft incident, it is more serious, in terms of candidates, do you have your own recommended goals?" Illya saw that Fang Qiubai finished speaking, and took over the topic. Then the whole conference room became noisy, and everyone began to discuss fiercely.

Fang Qiubai, who didn't pay attention to the outer courtyard at all, said hello to Illya, went straight to Xia Na's room, and pulled her straight to the meeting hall regardless of the other party's expression of slashing you.

After telling Xia Na about the function of the assembly hall and specifically asking the other party to target the dirt salon in the desert, Fang Qiubai hurriedly ran to find Yagami and Lina.

Xia Na's face was flushed because of Fang Qiubai's sudden attack, and he watched Fang Qiubai run out of the assembly hall before he lowered his head and said, "Now, Arastrel, is there really such a magic here, can you create an independent space?"

"Well, I wouldn't have believed it in the past, but now I can see if I try it?" Arastel began. Although it has been less than a day since he came to the other world, Arastel has been shocked more than once, so he has to believe the words of the other party Qiubai.

According to what Fang Qiubai said, Xiana picked up the 4-star mission Dirt Sharon in the desert from the old man, put the knife on her shoulder, and disappeared into the assembly hall.

At this time, Fang Qiubai had already found Yagami and Lina, and explained the reason, Fang Qiubai said to Yagami: "Brother An, don't keep your hands this time, I know that you look down on weak monsters, but the situation is forced, so please hurry up and kill a few more." ”

Yagami nodded silently, ignoring Fang Qiubai, who was still nagging, and walked towards the assembly hall first.

Fang Qiubai hurriedly grabbed Lina: "Lina, you too, what kind of magic is powerful, what kind of magic can be used, although a monster of that level can't help you improve your strength, you still have to say, please." ”

Lina clenched her fists in front of her chest a few times with an excited face, and replied, "No problem, leave it to me." ”

"Sa, Xana, Lina, and Yagami, the three of them are hunting with all their might, it shouldn't be difficult to gather the equipment of more than ten people, right? What should I do next?" Fang Qiubai looked at Lina and entered the assembly hall, and lowered his head and thought.

"By the way, go ask Soros and Alexander, a city lord, you should have information about the surrounding places. As a bishop, Soros should know a lot about it, right?" Fang Qiubai suddenly thought, so he moved as soon as he said it, and ran towards the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, Alexander had just used a secret method to send the news of Arastel that he had learned from Fang Qiubai's mouth back to the imperial capital, and by the way, he focused on Fang Qiubai, specifically mentioning that this person seemed to have no ambitions, and ran a newly established mercenary group all day long, and asked the opinion of the Sword God by the way.

Thinking about the consumption caused by the use of secret methods to send this letter, Alexander, who had a painful and constipated expression on his face, walked out of the door and saw Fang Qiubai rushing over, and he asked in surprise: "What is so urgent?"

"The mercenary group has taken a mission to pass through the Famine Desert, and I think the city lord must have official information there. Fang Qiubai said straight to the point.

"Oh, that's it, yes, come with me. As if he didn't expect Fang Qiubai to do such a simple thing, he was stunned for a moment, motioned for Fang Qiubai to follow him, turned around and walked to the side.
