Ciri saw the people who appeared in the field of vision, and felt a little puzzled, these people were neither the merchants he knew in the Chamber of Commerce, nor did they look like mercenaries...... Because they hadn't changed into standard equipment at this time, they were all in civilian clothes, and, looking at it, they were just teenagers.

What are these people coming here to do with him?

"Father......?" said the young man standing in front.

Ciri was stunned, then frowned tightly, as if he was rummaging through something. He had been here for too long, and most of the events of more than ten years ago had been completely forgotten.

But soon, a name popped up clearly and quickly, and Siri asked, "Ted?"

Ciri is a peaceful man, except for Ted's mother, he has never found any more women, and there is only one child in total, Ted, and this name was left to Ted's mother before Ted was born, before Ciri left.

Ted slowly walked in the direction of Xili, but Xili's steps were bigger and faster, and before Ted was still a little hesitant, Xili had already hugged the big boy as tall as him tightly, and slowly touched his hair: "My child." ”

Memories of sixteen years or more come back like a tidal wave, leaving a clear imprint on the shore of my mind. In the time of face-to-face, Ciri had already seen something, Ted's slightly curly brown hair, the thick but straight eyelashes without a trace of curvature, and even the eyes were the same, when Ciri looked at Ted, he seemed to see his younger self.

"Father......" Ted opened his mouth, he didn't hesitate any longer, and hugged his father's broad back with his backhand.

"Child, my child. Dad is not good and didn't stay by your side to take care of you. ”

"No, father. You have always been my role model. ”

Grint quietly grabbed Lanaya's sleeve beside her, feeling like she was going to shed tears if she didn't.

I don't know how long it took for the father and son to separate, and Siri asked, "Why did you come here?"

"I, I can't say. Ted lowered his head and said, "I'm just ......"

"You must be Ted's friends, right?" said Siri with a smile as he smiled at the rest of the people standing nearby.

Ted thought to himself, it's over, shouldn't it come out of their mouths, what are they here for?

"Hello uncle. That's what the guys said.

Adrian then took out the task list: "We have just established the Yara Mercenary Regiment, I am the leader, this is the task we just received from you. ”

Ciri didn't need to look at it, he knew what was going on, and since businessmen should always avoid risks as much as possible, Ciri asked, "How many of you are there?"

"About three hundred. ”

"What about the overall strength?"

"Rest assured, there is enough for the crossing. Thinking of the standard equipment they were working on, Adrian added, "We're still preparing some equipment, as well as supplies on the road, and we should not be able to leave until a few days." What do you mean?"

"I'm ready to go. ”

"Okay, I'll come back to you when we're ready. ”

After discussing for a while, the others finally retired first, but Ted stayed here for the time being, and after talking a lot with his father, Ciri also roughly understood their current situation, such as the Hidden Sanctuary and the like, but Ted didn't say anything about the deadly Night Shadow, and he knew that his father would definitely not let him carry out this task again.

"Are you a swordsman now?" asked Ciri, surprised and delighted.

"Hmm. ”

"Let's go, there is a test field not far from the north, let's have a few games!"

Ted was stunned for a moment, but still agreed, although he didn't know what his father's level was, he really hadn't practiced seriously for a long time.

In addition to buying a batch of equipment and food, this expedition also required many other things, such as camping tents, enough horses, etc., which required a large amount of expenses, but this was not a big deal for some of the wealthy people, but the merchants had to worry about whether their goods were enough.

The few partners who had just joined the Yala Mercenary Regiment all circled around Ranaya one by one, and they gave a lot of courtesy, and they almost sacrificed themselves. Adrien just watched the excitement quietly, but Lanaya had to wonder if there was something wrong with her performance, she tried all kinds of methods, such as deliberately dressing up like a sloppy beggar, trying to behave like a noble lady to be rude and willful, but it was useless, those people still stuck to her like glue, and she couldn't shake it off.

It must be that they joined the mercenary group in the wrong way...... These people have a problem with their minds!

"Zero Five!" Ranaya exclaimed just as Waiter Number One was about to come over and give her a thump on the back.

"Ah, I know, they love you. Adrian looked like he was waiting to watch the show.

"His name is Zero Five?" asked Waiter One. In fact, he has his own name, the name of his own by these five people is both concise and peculiar, this young man who is going to beat Lanaya's back is named Xiong, the other three male mercenaries are wolf, lion, tiger, and the female mage is called Crane.

Okay, let's open a zoo.

"Good boy, how do you speak?" Ranaya raised her head, staring at the bear with her eyes down, her face full of contempt: "You should call him the head of the regiment!"

"Yes, yes!" the bear immediately lowered his head, but after a while he slowly raised it again, looked tentatively at Lanaya, and asked softly, "Then you are, the captain's wife?"

"Husband, you're big!" Lanaya pulled out her palm suddenly, and the purple electric light of "swoop" flickered on the palms that were close together, so frightened that the bear hurriedly changed his words: "No, no, my lord, spare your life!"

At this time, the equipment dealer came over with several truckloads of equipment, all of which they had ordered before. Next, there was a very spectacular scene in the equipment dealer, hundreds of people came over one after another, took away a set of armor, and put it on their bodies, and the whole hall suddenly became bright. Needless to say, the metallic luster on the armor was that the representative colors of their Yarra mercenary group were pale gold and black, and the stark contrast of the colors on the robe simply blinded everyone's eyes.

The few people who didn't buy standard equipment, of course, didn't do it for the sake of being special, but because they had enough ability to protect themselves without these armor. Most of these people are relatively close to Lanaya, so they are not afraid that they will not be able to recognize them without wearing standard armor.

As for the weapons, everyone had them before, so they didn't make any other preparations. Moreover, the weapons of mercenaries are not like the army, which usually acts together with the same branch of the army, and the weapons must be the same, but the mercenaries may be varied, because their combat styles are different.

A bright and long procession stepped out of the east gate of Thunder City in the morning light, and in the middle of the procession, there was the goods transported by Xili, as for what was inside, he didn't say, he only knew that it was to be transported to a warehouse called Fayer City in the territory of the Red Fire Empire.

These days, everything is going well, but the fact is that with a few masters here, they don't know what the danger is. Even if there are thieves who have been hidden for a long time, after seeing such a big battle, they will retreat with interest, but there is a big reason, they saw a female knight with a spear at the front of this team, the spear is covered with purple spiritual energy flames, everyone understands what it means, just a woman is so fierce, what about the one behind her?!

If the bandits were nothing to them, then the remaining low-level and middle-level beasts were even more nothing to them. Along the way, they hadn't seen anyone else on the road, except for the people they met when they arrived at the supply depot to rest, until the day they were about to reach the border between the two empires.

It was a plain of weeds, and if you looked at it from above, you could see that behind the high walls, the fortresses were like mountains, separating a continent into two parts.

The fortress here does not belong to the Heavenly Thunder Empire, but to the Red Fire Empire, and this place has a very old name - Red Fire Fortress. This area has given birth to many legends, and many legends have been buried. The year of the repairs of the walls and fortresses is unknown, and many bryophytes have crept up the corners, and the grayish-yellow castle looks like it is moldy.

It's a place that's easy to defend and hard to attack, and of course its protection is relative to the Red Fire Empire.

The people of the Hidden Sanctuary had already planned the established route before, even if there was an additional task to transport goods this time, it would not affect them to reach the Red Fire Empire, they accurately chose the shortest route, and just found a rare gate in the boundless Great Wall.

When the soldiers stationed at the gate of the city saw a large army holding rows of flags in the distance coming, they did not stop too much, probably because they knew in their hearts that with the troops stationed here, they were definitely not the opponents of these people.

However, when the soldiers opened the gate for them, which had been closed for an unknown amount of time, they found that the gate seemed to be a little narrower.

Because on the other side of the gate, there is a team of about the same size as them, and they are blocked here on both sides.

If neither of the two sides gives way, neither side will be able to pass smoothly.

The Hidden Sanctuary sent someone over to ask, and it turned out that the other party was the envoy of the princess of the Red Fire Empire. Adhering to the principle of peace first, besides, there is a huge disparity in status between the two sides, but there is a princess in the middle of the other party! After the order was given, the part in front of the Hidden Sanctuary moved to the side for some distance.
