Chapter Seventy-One: Return to Valency
Larry rushed in front of Eliza, put his hands on his knees and gasped a few times before he said intermittently, "Il...... Eliza ...... Fast...... Use...... Use your ...... Magical ......"
Eliza's eyes widened in shock, and she let her go to war, which she had never done before, she had been under the protection of others from just now until now, and she had no idea what to do to let her go to war. Larry also saw her concern, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "You don't have to...... Do not worry...... All you have to do is listen to my ...... When I call you...... You use sonic magic...... That's it......"
"Ah...... Oh......" Eliza nodded as if she didn't understand, and Larry didn't have time to explain more, as soon as Eliza's hand was pulled, she ran towards the place where Hotz and the others were fighting.
At this time, Hortz and the others were already at the end of the crossbow, and more than a dozen people who were broken were killed by twenty or thirty people on the other side and retreated, if it weren't for the good hands of these dozen people in the group, I am afraid that they would have collapsed for thousands of miles, even Hortz was already exhausted and soaked, and the others were even injured. At this time, I heard Larry shouting loudly: "Commander, quickly lead the people to retreat!"
Hortz took the time to glance back, only to see Larry running towards him with Eliza, Hortz immediately understood what Larry meant, and shouted to his companions on the left and right, "Everyone, get out of here!
When everyone heard Hortz's greeting, they made a few false moves to find the right time to turn around and run, although these dozen people were no match for the other party's outnumber, but they could still escape, otherwise Hortz would not let them break off. More than a dozen people fled back and forth, how could the people of the Red Scorpion Mercenary Group let them escape calmly, and chased after them with swords.
The crowd crossed Larry and Eliza in turn, and pursued their own large force, while Hortz fled to Eliza's side and stopped, by which time the pursuers were less than ten meters away. Eliza's face turned pale with nervousness, and her whole body kept trembling, such a battle scene was really terrifying, much more cruel and bloody than the battle in the ocean, Eliza had not seen war before, but compared to the fight between humans, it seemed that it was not so bloody.
Seeing that the people of the Red Scorpion Mercenary Group were already close at hand, Larry suddenly shouted, "Eliza, it's now!"
Nervousness and fear made Eliza's emotions a little excited, and as soon as she heard Larry's command, she couldn't wait to shout a sonic attack: "Sa-woo!" Eliza exerted much more force than usual because of the tension, only to see her eyes closed, her two fists clenched white, and her mouth wide open, as if she wanted to vent all the fear in her heart with the shouting.
The morale of the Red Scorpion Mercenary Regiment was high, and the weapons they were waving while shouting were about to attack the three of them, and at this time they suddenly saw an incomprehensible scene, the weak little girl suddenly shouted at everyone, looking completely frightened. These fierce mercenaries suddenly had a strange feeling, and the sounds around them seemed to disappear all at once.
Then there was a hissing in everyone's ears, and the whole process happened in an instant, and the mercenaries didn't know what was going on or even no one cared, and then they felt a powerful force in the air rushing towards them, and the bodies of twenty or thirty mercenaries were violently knocked away by this invisible force, and their burly bodies flew in the air like fallen leaves swept by the wind.
The pursuers in the back just arrived and were knocked to the ground by the mercenaries who were blown away in front, and the team that was still like an iron stream suddenly came to an abrupt end. Forty or fifty mercenaries lay down in a large area, each with a cry of pain coming out of their mouths, and the others stopped in disbelief at the sight of this horrific scene, looking at the wounded all over the ground in disbelief.
As soon as Larry saw that the plan was successful, he immediately pulled Eliza and ran, and Hortz immediately followed. At this time, Lyanna also rushed over, and she stared at this incredible scene with wide eyes, and for a moment she did not know whether to continue the pursuit or to check on the wounded. One of Lyanna's men approached and asked, "Commander, do we still want to pursue?"
Lyanna looked at the three people who were far away with a complicated expression, and then looked at the members of the group who were lying everywhere, and finally bit her lip and said: "Forget it, the other party has a magician, and we are not opponents when we catch up, this time they are lucky!" After Lyanna finished speaking, she threw the long whip in her hand to the ground fiercely, causing a cloud of dust to fly in the air.
Eliza and the other three were chasing after the large army without looking back at this time, and after running for a while, Eliza's physical strength was gone, her steps became slower and slower, and her wheezing sound became more and more rapid. Larry and Hortz glanced at each other, and they both grabbed Eliza's left and right hands, and threw her into the air, and together they carried Eliza in stride. Eliza was startled at first, then realized that her feet had left the ground, and she couldn't help but laugh, like a child, and Hortz and Larry laughed along.
After joining the large army, the people of the White Griffin Mercenary Regiment kept running towards the camp at the bottom of the mountain, and when they came to the camp, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the camp was not found, and there was no loss of horses and vehicles. Originally, Hortz was going to let everyone rest before leaving, but the current situation did not allow them to relax for a moment, and Hortz ordered to open immediately. The crowd rode on horseback, rode in a car, and the mighty procession carried a full range of smoke and dust in the direction of Valency City.
For two days they had been on the road day and night, and by the time they returned to Valency City, they were already sleepy, and they wanted to lie down on the side of the road and die as soon as they entered the city. The team went straight back to the Mustang Hotel, but Hortz and Larry couldn't take a break, they rushed to the mercenary guild non-stop, and they could only rest assured if they completed the task registration, otherwise they would not sleep peacefully. Although the general mercenary group will not do it in the city, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will hire someone from the thieves' guild to do it in secret, as the saying goes, guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, if you enter the city and lose things, then it will be too late to regret it.
Savin and Eliza didn't go with them to the Mercenary Guild, both of them felt drowsy, almost dozing off while walking, and if they didn't go back to the hotel, they would lie down in the street. As soon as their bodies touched the bed, the two of them fell asleep before they even had time to say good night, and they didn't know how long they had slept this night, and when they woke up, it was already a day later.
Sawin stretched comfortably, sleeping too comfortably this night, as if throwing all the fatigue of his whole body into sleep, leaving only a body of relaxation. Sawin wanted to wake Eliza up, but she was still sleeping soundly and dispelled the idea, and Eliza was still muttering to herself, "Hmm...... I want to ...... Not...... Soak in ...... Water ...... Hmm...... "Sawan listened carefully to Eliza's dream words for a while, it turned out that she missed the water, in fact, Sawin is not, she always feels itchy when she doesn't soak in water for a while.
Sawin thought to himself, "Ask Larry another day if there are any lakes and rivers in the vicinity, no sea, so why don't you go and take a bath in the river......
As he pondered the rumbling sound in his stomach, Sawin remembered that he hadn't eaten in two days, because he was too tired, but now that he had slept full, he began to give advice.
Downstairs, Sawan went all the way to the antechamber, it was now daylight and there were basically no guests, and he ordered a bunch of food to eat immediately, such as baked potatoes, grilled sausages, toast, and a large glass of ale. After coming to land, Sahain has gradually become accustomed to eating cooked food, which is much more delicious than raw food, and he used to eat all kinds of fish raw in the sea, but now he knows that cooked food is better than raw food.
While Sawin was munching, Hortz and Larry arrived in the antechamber, rubbing their eyes and ordering the shopkeeper to bring food. When Sawin saw the two of them, he hurriedly greeted: "Yo, head of the regiment, Brother Larry, you guys are also coming to eat." ”
"Savan, you're early, what are you eating?" both of them looked like they hadn't slept enough, yawning and lazily saying, looking completely different from the shrewd and tough of the previous days, once people relax, it seems that even the bones will soften.
The three of them chatted without saying a word while eating, and one walked into the Mustang Hotel, and the man went straight to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, is there a mercenary captain named Hotz living here?"
The shopkeeper pointed to Sawan and the others, and the man turned to the table of three and asked politely, "May I ask which one is the head of Hortz, here is a letter from the Mercenary Guild to you." As he spoke, the man handed over an envelope.
Hortz replied, "I am Hortz." Then he took the letter, and Larry, who was next to him, took out a silver coin from his pocket and threw it to the visitor, who thanked him and left.
Hortz took out the letter and unfolded it, only to see that his brow was slightly furrowed, as if the letter was not good news. Larry asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Hortz handed the letter to Larry and said, "These guild guys actually asked us to deliver the goods to the employer in person, and said that the employer asked for it. ”
Larry asked curiously, "Aren't mercenary groups generally not allowed to meet with their employers?
Hortz smiled bitterly and said, "Who knows, it seems that we have to work hard." ”
