Chapter 164: Each has a ghost
As for the more than a dozen mercenaries who were not at the high-level level who followed Creek, they were overturned by the energy scattered by the bombardment.
The two mercenaries closest to Creek even passed out after falling to the ground.
Crick had just gained a foothold, and the horror in his heart was even greater than before.
Although he seemed to have a tie with this gray-clothed blonde man, only he knew that when he was fighting against each other just now, at that moment, he felt that the strength of the other party was probably about to reach the peak of the middle stage of the high-level realm, which was already half a realm beyond him.
If the two of them were to go head-to-head, Crick would have no chance of victory.
When Crick forcibly suppressed the surging qi and blood, he held his battle axe and shouted loudly at the gray-clothed blonde man who was standing more than twenty meters away, "Who are you? We don't seem to have any festivals, do we?"
Hearing Crick's words, Lance smiled, and after dancing a beautiful sword flower at random with the sword of Sohana in his hand, he said in a chic voice: "Lance, Lance Ramson, as for any festivals......"
Speaking of this, Lance's tone paused slightly, and then continued in a slightly provocative tone: "Can't I trouble you without a holiday?" haha......
Lance's latter sentence directly choked back some of the scene words that Crick was about to say.
It was just a hard blow just now, and at this time, Crick still felt the hand holding the tomahawk, and there was a faint feeling of soreness.
Although this has no effect on his combat effectiveness, it is difficult to say how many of his more than ten cronies can survive in the battle.
These cronies are all subordinates who have been with him for a long time and are very good.
Even the loss of one would be a great loss for him, and the reason why the Tomahawk Mercenary Group was able to have the strength of a fourth-level mercenary group was mostly because of the more than ten cronies of the upper rank of the Beginner Realm.
Crick's mind was also spinning fast, and in a few breaths, he had already weighed the pros and cons.
First of all, we still have to figure out the other party's intentions, if such a strong first-level mercenary can join his own mercenary group, then the overall strength of the Tomahawk mercenary group will definitely be on a higher level.
After a moment of silence, Crick suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at his cronies who had already stood up, looked at Lance again, and asked in a very polite tone: "You are the first-class mercenary who killed Polger, right?" Sure enough, you are a hero out of a young man, I just don't know where our Tomahawk mercenary group offended my brother, if there is, after completing the task, my brother and I will personally set a wine for my brother in the largest tavern in the mercenary fortress and apologize." ”
Lance was amused by Crick's words.
He grinned and replied in the same tone as Crick, "Yo...... With the temper of Brother Creek, I'm afraid I didn't apologize to my brother with the tomahawk in my hand, right?"
"Where is Brother Lance, our Tomahawk mercenary group has always done things above board, if there is really something wrong with it, and I will personally apologize to you, brother. ”
Crick, a rough man, couldn't hear anything else from Lance's words.
Over the years, B. Braun has told him that when you meet a master, you can win it over, and if you can't get it, you will consider doing it.
Over the past few years, Crick has said that he can't do anything else, but when it comes to these clichés that he has said countless times, it is a set of words.
After listening to Crick's words, Lance felt a burst of ridicule and disdain in his heart, but he didn't do it on his face, but pretended to think for a moment before muttering: "Brother Crick, actually, I was only entrusted by a few friends, and they promised me that I would be rewarded with ten gold coins after the deed was completed, and you can also see that I am now depressed, and I can't even afford to buy decent new clothes, hey...... It's really uncomfortable to have no money, and you have to be at the mercy of others in everything you do!"
Lance's mouth full of nonsense can not be said to be "true feelings".
If Quiles and the others saw this scene, they might really think that Lance was going to defect.
Hearing Lance mention money, Crick was overjoyed.
Isn't it just money?
As long as it's not irresolvable hatred, it's easy to say anything.
As for the cannon fodder who was hacked to death by Lance with a wind blade, that kind of human life is not worth anything at all, and if you die, you will die.
"Ten gold coins?Brother Lance, why don't you come to my Tomahawk mercenary group, as long as this mission can be successfully completed, I will give you twenty gold coins as a reward, and leave the position of deputy head to you, how about it?"
"Shhh...... Twenty gold coins?God, old brother Crick, you're not kidding, are ......you?
Lance made a very exaggerated movement and expression.
Coupled with his dark golden battle aura, it seemed that Lance at this moment had already begun to calculate where to spend these twenty gold coins.
However, Lance's tone paused, and then looked at Crick with a more wary gaze.
After a moment of silence, Lance asked in a tentative tone, "Brother Crick, how can I trust you? ”
"You're talking about Quiles, aren't you?"
"Yes, it's them. ”
Determined that Lance had come for money, Crick lowered his guard a bit and asked the mercenaries to put down their weapons.
Then he also carried the battle axe and walked towards Lance, and said to Lance as he walked: "It's not that I said, Quells and a few despicable guys, just like thieves and robbers, are doing some shady things, you have just arrived in the mercenary fortress, you may not know a lot of things, Brother Lance, you listen to the advice of the old brother, don't be deceived by them." ”
As he spoke, Crick had already reached a distance of four or five meters from Reims.
He stood still and did not continue to walk, this is a relatively safe distance, even if one side suddenly breaks out, the other side has a certain buffer distance, can be prepared.
"Oh, yes? So that's how they are......"
Although Lance also put down the sword of Sohana, those who know swordsmanship know that this seemingly random long sword is actually a deception in basic swordsmanship.
It is not difficult to see that Lance still has a certain degree of defensiveness against Crick.
Just as Lance was about to say something more, he was suddenly interrupted by a low, distant roar of a vicious dog from the depths of the forest.
Although the distance from which the sound came out was still a little far, the endless terrifying death aura was accompanied by a roar.
Everyone present was shocked, and they all turned to the direction from which the voice came, and carefully guarded with all kinds of weapons.
And the things that two of the extremely burly mercenaries were carrying on their backs caught Lance's attention.
The two mercenaries were now facing away from Lance, and on their backs, they carried a strange metal cylinder the thickness of a bowl, and on top of the metal cylinder, all kinds of obscure incantations were densely engraved.
As a demon swordsman, Lance vaguely felt from this metal cylinder that it was sealed with extremely terrifying and tyrannical fire elemental energy.
But now is not the time to inquire about this.
After feeling the breath of death brought by the roar of the vicious dog, Lance was overjoyed, and he couldn't imagine that by mistake, he really lured out the blood-colored vicious dog.
Lance had plans to use Crick and the others as bait to lure the bloody dogs.
Now I didn't expect Creek to want to win him over, so he would use them as cannon fodder to kill the Scarlet Dog.
You must know that there are more than ten mercenaries in the upper stages of the beginner realm and have experienced a hundred battles, even if they are placed in the kingdom, this is a powerful combat power that cannot be underestimated.
The thoughtful Lance quietly showed a sly smile on his face.
He was ready to borrow a knife to kill people and profit from it.
Whether it is to use Crick and others to consume the Scarlet Dog, or to use the Scarlet Dog to kill all of them, as long as the rhythm is right, Lance is definitely the biggest winner who profits from it.
No, it should be their mercenary squad.
The mercenaries under Crick, without Crick's orders, did not dare to act rashly, and they were all on the spot on guard against the blood-colored vicious dogs that might appear at any time.
After a moment of silence, Crick frowned and ordered the mercenaries, "The master of this mission is here, everyone be careful." ”
With that, Crick looked sideways at Lance again.
"Brother Lance, what's the matter?
"Brother Crick, if we join forces to slaughter this beast, you must not forget the reward promised to me, and the position of deputy head of the regiment. ”
Lance said with a look of greed on his face.
Do a full set of acts, since he wants to deceive Crick, he has to behave greedily for money, anyway, after this battle, Crick is absolutely going to die.
Hearing Lance's words, Crick was even more happy in his heart, he had begun to like this "greedy for money and scheming" little brother.
"Don't worry, Brother Lance, what I Crick said definitely counts, and we'll go up together and slaughter this damn brute later. ”
At this time, Crick had already regarded Lance, a money-hungry guy, as a member of his mercenary group.
However, Crick's thoughts are exactly the same as Lance's, and he also wants to use Lance's super combat power as a tool to kill the Scarlet Dog.
If Lance can survive and accept his wooing, he doesn't mind really giving him the position of deputy head of the Tomahawk mercenary group,
Just as the two of them were planning against each other, Crick suddenly seemed to think of something, and he hurriedly whispered to a crony dressed as an assassin: "You, go and inform B. Braun of them, it's finally time for those cannon fodder to appear." ”
Unbeknownst to Crick, however, shortly after he left, his military advisor, Bérang, had died under the dumb dagger.
"Okay, boss, I'll go and inform the military advisor. ”
As soon as the assassin finished speaking, before he could make a move, he saw a giant vicious dog more than three meters long, covered in a layer of blood-red scale armor with a metallic luster, slowly walking out of the dense forest.
