Verse 87: Silver lightning

Red Thirteen.

A concise title.

Red card, the total number of people is only thirteen.

As a large multinational organization spanning the east and west coasts, the Mercenary Guild has recorded that there are active listed mercenaries who have received tasks within half a year, with a total number of more than 200,000.

Of these, more than 100,000 are the lowest-level green mercenaries, followed by the blue cards, which occupy a large number of people, and the orange cards, which have a relatively small number, which also have 60,000 and 30,000 respectively.

Even as a high-ranking mercenary second only to the red card, each of them has their own special title, and the purple card that has created an amazing feat, the number of incomplete statistics has exceeded 7,000.

How can he be virtuous.

These thirteen mercenaries who are qualified to wear red cards can stand at the top of the industry?

Whether it is the mercenary industry or others around the world, there are many people who are dissatisfied with the unshakable numbers and the meaning behind this guild since its establishment, and even put them into action.

But wave after wave of challengers passed and disappeared, but Red Thirteen was always there.

As a High Paladin, Adolphus had heard a lot of rumors about these people.

For example, a certain red-card mercenary single-handedly smashed open the door of a castle with a hammer, for example, another mercenary dived into the water for more than ten minutes and captured the underwater monster with his bare hands.

These are relatively realistic descriptions, but when Adolphus and the other paladins hear about them, they often do the same as most people who know anything about combat.

Scoffed at this and dismissed it.

"Single-handedly take out an earth dragon?" which ridiculous second-rate aristocrat wrote this-"

"People with a little common sense—"

The words that had come out of his mouth in the past lingered in his ears like auditory hallucinations, making the High Paladin's ears red and hot from the ears hidden under his helmet.

She.

Jumped.

The silver spear inserted into the side face of the earth dragon became the lever of assistance, and the not thick palm grasped the rounded surface of the spear, and the whole person jumped onto the head of the earth dragon with a single force.

"Roar!!" The blood-soaked Earth Dragon's left eye could not be opened, and the pain made it go berserk, but the silver-haired female mercenary then pulled out the spear with all his might.

"Hum—" The spear that seemed to be made of Mithril and radiated a bright moon made a nice clattering sound, and even from this distance Adolphus could tell that it was an excellent weapon.

"Hah-" She took a breath, and though the earth dragon frantically shook her head, it seemed like she was glued to it, the only thing that shook was the silver-white ponytail and the light-armored skirt.

"Roar!!" the dragon roared frantically, trying to shake off the abominable little man standing on the tip of its nose, the anger of the pain causing it to crash left and right against the mountain wall and collapse into smoke, it raised its neck and opened its mouth wide to bite the other, but she remained steady on the dragon's nose.

"Roar—" The Greysaw-Ridge Earth Dragon roared, and then, as if finally remembered, raised its claws and scratched at its nose.

"Whew-"

The sound of a gentle exhalation, which should have been muffled by passive silence, was clearly audible, as if ringing in the ears.

Along with this sound, there is also a faint fragrance, like flowers blooming in early spring, not as prosperous as midsummer, lonely, with the coolness of winter that has not yet dissipated.

"Bang——!" "Bang!!" "Knock !!"

She vanished in an instant.

Then, when it reappeared, the Earth Dragon's jaw slammed into the cliff several meters high.

It's not magic, it's just faster than the knights can catch with the naked eye.

It wasn't until the body that leaped into the air and landed the silver spear in her hand like lightning towards the dragon's head that the knights finally saw what she had done in the blink of an eye.

The moment the earth dragon raised her head and scratched her claws at the wing of her nose, she jumped to her feet. Then, after scratching his claws, he fell again, and with the momentum of falling in mid-air, he stabbed the spear into the skull of the earth dragon like a diving peregrine falcon.

The unsuspecting Earth Dragon slammed into the top of the cliff, the blow causing it a little dizziness, but it was not enough to kill it completely—the Earth Dragon began to twist its neck and straighten up again, and she had already drawn her spear and jumped down the cliff to the left, waiting for it all the time.

"Roar!!" The earth dragon that was frantically grabbing the dirt jumped up the cliff and chased after it, and the rumbling and rumbling running gradually faded away, but the paladins who had been relieved of the siege were in mixed moods.

Their high self-esteem made it hard for them to believe what had happened in the space of two minutes.

In all fairness, what she did, taken apart, each and every one of them could do it. It's not difficult to just jump and lunge, but it takes not only great physical ability, but also superior self-confidence, to get to the right moment to jump when a dragon is frantically shaking its head.

Rich experience.

"Damn!" Adolphus, who had always been calm and self-disciplined, suddenly felt a nameless fire, and cursed, "Don't lose to the mercenaries! Follow me!" he shouted, and the paladins who felt the same way echoed in unison.

————

The heart-rending roar of the dragon came from the direction of the north, followed by the sound !!of huge footsteps like a dense drumbeat.

The bloodied dragon roared and ran at full speed, knocking the entire forest to the ground, and in the midst of everyone's attention, she jumped to her feet again, kicked on the trunk of the tree, and jumped out to the right while luring the dragon to the left.

"Click!!" the dead tree snapped in two under the dragon's kiss, and the roaring earth dragon noticed from the extreme anger of the bite of the air that she actually stepped on the tip of her nose again, and jumped into the air again, it roared, then lowered its hind legs, and jumped up with the flick of its tail.

It is not every day that a multi-ton behemoth leaps to the top of the canopy, but when it is already in mid-air, it finds that there is no shadow of the hateful villain in front of it.

Then it started to fall down.

"Bang-thump-" "Roar-" "Whew-" The earth dragon that fell with an astonishing sound had already arrived at the central battlefield at this time, its left eye, which was covered by its own blood, could not see clearly, and its right eye fixed on it, and saw that the rapid enlargement in front of it was indeed the sideways body of another earth dragon.

"Bang !!!"

After running wildly, the earth dragon on the north side that jumped up slammed into the ground dragon in the middle with an injury to his left foot, and the sound of two ten-ton behemoths colliding together was earth-shattering, and the silver-haired lady who appeared in an unprecedented way turned her back to the two earth dragons who fell together and caused the smoke and dust to scatter the earth, and moved forward unhurriedly, and reached out to stroke her messy side hair.

"That—that's not—" The red mercenary tag hung brightly from the belt of the armed force made everyone freeze in place.

She has long hair that resembles the white hair of the Loans, but with a pale gray color, which is her best personal symbol.

"Silver hair, dense silver spear, red mercenary card. ”

There is only one person in the world who fits this characteristic. Filippo beside Mira muttered, although the young man was a noble swordsman, he was also familiar with this kind of existence standing at the peak of combat professionals.

The two dragons of the "......" had been badly injured before they lost consciousness in the collision with each other, their huge heads hanging limply to the ground, and Henry lowered the tip of Kramer's sword and turned his head in silence.

Orno drove his horse forward, and Mira and Filippo hurried to follow.

"It's a lot of fun—" The silver-haired lady looked at Henry, who shrugged. "Erica. Horno opened his mouth and called out the other man's name.

"......" But then she fell silent again, her brows furrowed.

After half a ring, it was Erica who spoke first: "The druids have arrived. As she said this, Mira noticed that Orno's petite shoulders on horseback trembled in front of her, and then she spoke again, her tone trembling, and she spoke softly in a weak, unheard voice: "...... Well. "Yes.

"They're taking control of the situation around here, rest assured, even if she recovers again, the plague won't return. Erica turned her head to look at Orno, and although she was only a human mercenary no matter how she looked at it, her tone of voice to the elf was not at all polite: "You have caused no small trouble this time. ”

"But ......," she sighed

"...... Mitinos," Horno shuddered again at the mention of the name by Erica, and she continued, "she did her duty. ”

"Mother, she...... I ......" the elf hung his head.

"Settle this matter first, and I'll help you intercede with the druids later. Erica said this, then stared at Mira for a moment, then turned her head to Henry.

"It seems like you're fighting hard, look like you're panting like this. She said playfully, but Mira and Filippo looked up and down to see that the sage was almost spotless.

"Why are you here?"

Parnira issued a proclamation saying that the recommended level for this mission was a red card. Erica shrugged, then patted the red badge around her waist.

"What about the boat?" asked Henry, apparently referring to why he did not take a boat to Pavinzio in the south, but to appear here at this point in time.

"The mob is burned out, and you must hurry to Parnira after you settle this matter. Erica replied, and Mira frowned along with Henry, and Filippo's face began to turn a little pale.

"So, so, you're—" A mercenary who came over at some point next to her asked in awe, "You've come all the way?"

"In this weather and a whole bunch of ghouls—" He suddenly closed his mouth, as if the mere mere imperfection of ghouls and undead felt cold from head to foot.

"Well, yes, all the way. Erica tilted her head and smiled, but everyone on the horse shuddered.

"It's pretty easy to discern the direction, as long as you go to a place where there are a lot of enemies. ”

She said this, and then suddenly picked up the spear that was on the ground again.

"Alright, you little ones stand back. ”

"Uh-" "Listen to her." Mira had just opened her mouth when Horno interrupted her. "Whew-roar-" The dragon's roar sounded again, causing the mercenaries who had just wanted to get closer to take a look at the legendary.

Swinging the dragon's head, the dizzy two gray saw-ridged earth dragons separated. Although the appearance of standing was still a little shaky, and it was obvious that he had suffered a lot of injuries, everyone could see the anger of detachment in the three open dragon eyes.

The dragon is a creature with considerable intelligence, even conceit.

This is true even for a wurm, even for a low-level wurm.

These little things they looked down on had caused so much pain to themselves, even though they were only a few days of healing for a strong true dragon.

Angry to.

I want to tear all the creatures in front of me to pieces.

"Bang-" Henry hung Kramer to his right side.

"Hum—" Erica hung the spear in her hand to her left.

"Still gasping for breath, old man. She glanced at the sage and said.

"Be merciful, they are not our real enemies. Henry replied calmly.

“......”

After a few moments, when the paladins who had driven their horses around the valley finally arrived, all they saw was the back of the three earth dragons with many wounds on their bodies, wailing all the way away.

"......" Adolphus let out a long sigh as he hung down his sword weakly.

"Wurm still can't beat the real dragon after all, ......."

"Oh!!" and a huge cheer erupted among the mercenaries, reaching into the sky.
