Chapter 18: The Mercenary Corps
After a while, a group of Sun Empire cavalry of about a dozen people roared over, and stopped not far from where Dahl was hiding, only to hear the leader of the person say: " Our baggage troops have set out for the Tianlong Pass in Jetalens, I am afraid that they will pass through here in a few days, in order to ensure the safety of the baggage troops, the command ordered to increase the escort troops along the way, from today onwards, all anyone who wants to pass through the Dolova Fortress, caravans, mercenary groups, etc., must be inspected in detail, and there must be no mistakes, now, you each go and inform the nearby troops, cancel the vacation, and stand at your posts twenty-four hours a day, day and night, if there are violators, behead. β
"Yes, sir!" and they scattered in all directions, and the three Dahls on the side heard the news, and their faces did not look good.
"It seems that a decisive battle is coming, and I don't know if our army will be able to make it through, but the only good news is that the news of our escape should not have reached here. Freo said.
"Yes, uncle, we must get through here as soon as possible, and when we get inland, it won't be so easy for them to catch us. β
The three of them left their hiding place, dressed in a coveralls that would cover their faces, and walked towards the gates of the fortress of Dolova, when they were about to reach the gates when there was a sudden commotion at the gates.
"What customs clearance documents, Lao Tzu doesn't have them, Lao Tzu has been back and forth here dozens of times, and he has never asked for any customs clearance documents. A strong man shouted.
"I'm sorry, you can't enter here without a customs clearance document, it's a new rule. The guard at the door said coldly.
"Lao Tzu just didn't, Lao Tzu is going over, can you stop me?" The strong man's whole body suddenly burst out of silver-white fighting energy, it seems that this is a master of the realm, when he rushed forward, a cold snort came, only to see a Sun Empire officer in silver armor stretched out a hand and slashed diagonally, passing in front of the strong man's body lightly, and then, the strong man turned into two halves in an instant, and he did not die immediately, but lay on the ground and howled.
"If you don't clear the paperwork and break through, this is the end!" the officer said coldly, "Dispose of this garbage." Then he turned and left.
When the three Dahl people in the distance saw it, they whispered: "What should I do? If you don't clear the customs clearance, you can't get through it now, or let's break in, that guy looks like he is only the sixth or seventh order of the realm, and it's not worth mentioning." β
"Mr. Dahl, can you use your brains, how many troops are there in such a large fortress, and how do you know that there is no one more powerful than him, as long as there are three enemies equal to you, we are finished, our top priority is to reach the island of creation safely, so let's go to the tavern in the town to rest for a while, find out the news, and think of a way." Freo said anxiously.
"yes, Dahl, I can't break in, my injuries are not healed yet, now is not the time to make a big move. Sherlock said.
"Well, I'll listen to you. β
The three of them walked for a while to a bar called "Quiet Forest", but when they pushed them away, a deafening noise came from inside.
"It's called the Quiet Forest, who's got that name?" said Sherlock, as there was a lot of noise inside, and there was a lot of shouting.
The three of them walked to a relatively quiet corner and sat down, and a waitress with snow-white skin, a good face, and breasts like two watermelons came over with her waist like a bucket, and said in a rough voice, "What do you want?"
Sherlock and Freo looked at her like monsters, how long is this, and Dahl on the side said disapprehantly: "Three glasses of Dorai wine, ten catties of roast pork!"
"Hehe, little brother, you eat a lot, don't you be afraid to die. The hostess said with a smile.
"The more work you do, the more you eat. Dahl replied, and the hostess looked at Sherlock and Freo and walked away.
"Did she find something? I hope it's my delusion. Freo thought the waitress had something else in her eyes.
At that moment, the sound of conversation at the table next to them came from the contents, and the contents of it made Freo feel as if he had thought of something.
There were four people sitting around the table next to it, two men and two women, one warrior in heavy armor and a shield, two men and women in robes, among them the woman was a priest and the man was a mage, and the zuihou was a female archer with a green longbow on her back. I only heard the soldier say: "What's the matter, I finally got the customs clearance paper, and the sword was withdrawn from the group at this time, and the wind chasing sword that I just got for him a few days ago is gone, which really makes people angry." The boss is so good to them, and he quit the group at this time, which is too uninteresting, although I haven't been here for a long time, but I can see that the boss is a person, as long as he really contributes to the team, he does not spare these equipment, everyone is the happiest together, and they, hum!"
"Wildebeest, don't say it again, it's useless to talk about it now, it's important to quickly think of a way to find three talents. The male mage said.
"But, Sister Hua, where are you going to find it now? Jetalence is at war with the Sun Empire, and everyone is going to go to war to earn money, so who else is willing to go on an expedition with us. "I don't know weishenme, the female archer called Sister Hua to the male mage, maybe what the code name is.
"I also know, Xiaoshuang, without the sword in the three of them, our team's damage in the melee group will be greatly reduced, the boss and the wildebeest, and the endless The three of them are just defensive warriors, and the little wolf, the chest hair, they are thieves, twelve themselves are a punishment knight, our overall strength has decreased a lot. The man known as Sister Hua said.
At this time, Freo on the side suddenly came over, and he asked, "Excuse me, is your mercenary group recruiting?"
Hearing this, the people turned their heads, then looked at Freo, and Sister Hua stood up and said, "It seems that you heard our conversation, yes, we do want to recruit three temporary personnel for some reason. β
"My two nephews have just come out of the family to train, and we are about to join some mercenary group or something, and I happened to hear your conversation, I wonder if you can consider us?" Freo said.
"What are your occupations, and what are your ranks?" asked Sister Hua.
"I am a warrior of the seventh order of the earth realm, that blonde young man is a punishment knight of the sixth order of the earth realm, and the red-haired warrior of the sixth order of the earth realm. Freo lied about Sherlock's ranks, and he could tell that the other party was a sixth-order mage of the Earth Realm.
"The strength is good, but I don't know how the actual combat is, some noble young masters will drop the chain when they go to the battlefield. Sister Hua said slowly, he has seen many such examples.
"Let's have a try. Freo said confidently, His Royal Highness needless to say, and Dahl is like a meat grinder on the battlefield.
A few people walked out of the tavern, and the waitress looked at their backs and whispered something to the people next to them.
Dahl and the three of them followed Sister Hua to a three-story building, only to hear him say: "This is the temporary residence of our mercenary group, there is a testing ground in the back, let's go there." β
βhaodeγ β
When they entered this building, they saw that there were no less than 30 people inside, it seemed that the scale of this mercenary group was not small, and when the people in the house saw Sister Hua, many people stood up and greeted him.
"Deputy Commander, I'm back. β
"Sister Hua, have you gone to find a girl to come back, we are about to suffocate to death. β
"Deputy head of the regiment, the head of the regiment was looking for you just now. β
Sister Hua responded to them one by one with a smile, and then turned back to the three Freo and said, "Welcome to our Free Mercenary Regiment." β
