The little boy stepped forward with a laugh, and before he had taken two steps, he heard an exclamation. Then a young girl, about twenty years old, came running from a distance.

"John, don't go over!"

The girl ran over and hugged the little boy tightly in her arms, and stared at Lu Ming and the two vigilantly. If you look closely, she is still holding half a piece of black and hard bread in her hand, and looking at this face, it is most likely that someone has thrown it on the ground and picked it up.

"Mom!"

John screamed and threw himself affectionately into the woman's arms. Lu Ming was taken aback, this woman was so young, she didn't expect that she was already the mother of a four or five-year-old child.

Lu Ming was about to talk, and there was a new situation. I saw a few mercenaries walking out from the direction where the woman came. Walking here with a wicked smile, looking like this, he is staring at the beauty of a woman, trying in vain to get involved.

Seeing Lu Ming and the others, a mercenary took out a badge, which was engraved with a big D character.

"I don't know where the two of you are, this woman is the first thing our Black Tiger mercenary group has taken a fancy to, I hope you can make it easier. If she survives afterwards, the brothers will give her to you. ”

The mercenary behind him laughed evilly, as if imagining the next scene of everyone working together to "fight".

The woman's eyes showed despair, she looked at the child in her arms, and then at Lu Ming and the others. Grit your teeth and make a decision.

"I don't think you are bad people, and I beg you to take him in. ”

Lu Ming didn't understand what the mercenaries meant, and he suddenly became angry in his heart. got up and said sharply: "I also have a crush on this woman! According to the rules of mercenaries, whoever has a hard fist will be decided!"

He pulled out the badge of the Night Mercenary Group and showed it to the mercenaries.

The other side laughed. I didn't expect it to be a peer, looking at Betty's clothes, I thought it was a nobleman somewhere, that was not easy to do, the nobles were protected by the army.

Since they are mercenaries, they have no worries, there are only two of them on their side, and there are as many as seven of them, and there are other brothers from the mercenary group not far away.

"That's good! Don't blame us for bullying too many people!"

The mercenaries swarmed up without using weapons, and it was not worth their lives for the sake of a slave-like woman.

The woman didn't expect this to happen and was so frightened that she took the child and hid aside.

Lu Ming snorted coldly, and used his basic fighting skills, the mercenaries were slow in his eyes, almost crawling like turtles, and he didn't want to waste too much time on them. Knock them all down with one punch. Immediately, the screams were endless.

He grasped the measure, otherwise, I am afraid that if these people are hit by Lu Ming's full strength, they will definitely explode and die.

The mercenaries looked at Lu Ming in horror, they didn't expect to meet a master, the mercenaries lived a life of licking blood from the knife, where were they willing to be convinced. They stood up from the ground with each other's arms, and did not forget to warn them before leaving.

"You kid wait! Our Black Tiger Mercenary Group won't let you go!"

The woman's name is Jennifer, seeing that the wicked people were driven away by Lu Ming alone, thinking of Lu Ming's previous words, her face couldn't help but turn red, this person is handsome and powerful, in the troubled times, he will be able to keep their mother and son safe, if he can accept John, it is a good choice to serve him.

The corners of Betty's mouth rose slightly, and the toad also wanted to eat swan meat? Which of the captives she was looking for earlier was not more beautiful than this person, Lu Ming didn't even look at it, not to mention that she was a woman who had given birth.

After dealing with this group of mercenaries, Lu Ming questioned Betty, "Didn't you say that the military discipline is strict?

Betty said innocently: "The army is good to say, they have to obey, but these people are mercenaries, they will not obey orders." ”

Lu Ming frowned, "In that case, can't you do without these mercenaries?"

Betty explained: "The mercenaries are not profitable, and for the sake of good pay, they will definitely participate in this war. If mercenaries are banned in the Duchy of Posei, then all the mercenaries will join the Gru Empire and the Duchy of Thane. The strength of the mercenaries cannot be underestimated, and in this battle, the mercenaries have contributed a lot of strength. ”

That's true, Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh when he wanted to understand the truth. It is not the nobles and those in power on the other side who are most persecuted in the war, but the common people.

Uncontrolled mercenaries, once they encounter the women of the defeated country, they can only become tools to vent their desires. Moreover, some mercenaries are thirsty for killing, so they secretly play killing games in the city.

When there is a shortage of soldiers, where will anyone care about them? If they anger the mercenaries because of a few inconsequential civilians. They left angrily, and the principality was left with a big relief. When great powers are at war, every force has to fight for it.

Lu Ming glanced at Jennifer, "Meeting is fate, your mother and son must have no place to live now, why don't you follow me, come to me, and no one will dare to bully you anymore." ”

Jennifer's face was happy, this person really took a fancy to herself, otherwise she would not have bothered to take herself to her residence and directly forcibly take her body, where do you need to do so much.

She excitedly picked up Little John, followed closely behind Lu Ming, and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Halfway through, dozens of mercenaries suddenly surrounded them, the first of them was born with a big waist and a round waist, nearly two meters tall, dark complexion, and a murderous aura, like a humanoid black tiger.

Standing beside him were the mercenaries from before, looking at this posture, they were here to take revenge.

"Hey, boy, do I think you're still arrogant this time?"

The mercenary said to the regiment commander: "Boss, this is this kid! He not only robbed the brothers of a few favored women, but also injured us, and even threatened that the brothers of the Black Tiger Mercenary Regiment are all soft-footed shrimps, and they are not his opponents at all!"

The strong man who looked like a black tiger observed Lu Ming coldly, and only said after a while: "If you hurt them, you can only blame them for their inferior skills." But if you dare to insult our Black Tiger Mercenary Group, I can't ignore it. ”

Knowing that the mercenary was angry, he used this lie to deceive the entire mercenary group to dispatch, and Lu Ming didn't care, but first probed their strength.

There were a total of forty-five people, and the head of the regiment had the strength of a great swordsman, but it was obvious that he had just broken through, and his breath was unstable. For the rest, there are three mid-level swordsmen and ten low-level swordsmen.

Lu Ming glanced back at Betty, "When the fight starts later, you have to protect their mother and son." ”

Betty smiled slightly, "No need. ”

At that moment, the whole ground shook.

A mighty cavalry rushed in, fully armored and grim-faced, a well-trained army. The commander made a few gestures, and then surrounded dozens of mercenary groups.

The cavalry was black, estimated to be five hundred, they pulled out their swords from their waists, and stared at the mercenaries with sharp eyes, the momentum sharpened from the battlefield was not weaker than the mercenaries who licked the blood from the edge of the knife. It frightened the mercenaries so much that they didn't dare to move.
