On the vast plateau, the afterglow of the setting sun casts on the reddish-brown rocks, giving the entire plateau a psychedelic golden red.

A caravan of seven or eight beast carts slowly moved towards the setting sun, and more than a dozen mercenaries guarded around the beast carts.

A young boy deliberately lies upside down on the back of the wildebeest, leisurely following the bumps up and down as the wildebeest moves.

"Childe, we need to hurry up, if we don't get to Shining Town before dark, the road will be dangerous. A man in his thirties who looked like a captain walked up to Childe's horse.

"Then let's hurry. Childe turned on the horse's back and sat up, revealing a handsome face, it was Joan.

At this time, Joan had an extra beard around her lips, and a large red birthmark the size of a gold coin on the left side of her face, even if she made up like this, it was still difficult to hide the appearance of a handsome man.

Ten days ago, Arthur and Joan were surrounded by the Church's pursuers on a barren hill outside Black Rock, and the two climbed to the top of the mountain with Spence on their backs under the cover of the black fog, and then jumped directly from the top of the mountain.

Because of the flying ring and the enchanted gliding boots, the three of them jumped from the top of the mountain several hundred meters unharmed.

After escaping, the three of them retreated to the nearest border city of the Kingdom of Bardos, bought eight truckloads of valuable goods, and then hired this mercenary group called the Falcon to escort them, and the destination was the town of Shining, the necromantic heights of the Holo Kingdom.

Although the Falcon Mercenary Group is only B-level, its biggest advantage is that it is a veteran mercenary group from the Holo Kingdom, and it is familiar with all the levels along the way.

Joan paid the mercenary group double the commission on the condition that her retinue Arthur and the butler Spence wear the clothes of the mercenary group, temporarily disguised as members of the mercenary group.

The Falcon Mercenaries gladly accepted the commission after confirming that the two were not wanted by various countries and that there was no contraband in Joan's cargo. As mercenaries, they will always encounter all kinds of strange requests from their employers, and as long as the benefits are proportional to the risks, they will not refuse some special requests from their employers.

Many things in the world can be solved with money, including fleeing. After spending a large amount of money, Joan and Arthur had the identity of caravans and mercenary groups, and then appeared on the streets of the Kingdom of Holo in a grand manner.

Along the way, I encountered several interrogations from the Holo army and the knights of the church, and the falcon mercenaries came forward to deal with them, and all of them were smoothly mixed up.

After the mercenary captain greeted Joan, the convoy immediately sped up. After running for four or five miles, a pass between the hills appeared in front of me.

Guarding the pass was a knight of punishment for a full time. The Order's strength was 30,000 men, with three guards of 10,000 each, and eight guards of 1,200 each.

Looking at the pass in front of him, Arthur, who was walking in front of the team, suddenly became nervous, and stabbed the young mercenary next to him with his hand, "Why are the guards here the church knights?"

Arthur himself is a mercenary, although he is pretending, he has already integrated into the Falcon mercenary group these days, and has already become one with several young mercenaries in the team.

The mercenary next to him was a few years older than Arthur, and asked in a pretended manner, "You haven't been to Necronomicon Heights before, have you?"

Arthur shook his head.

"The Necronomicon Heights belongs to the border area of the human race, orcs, and dwarves, and it is too chaotic inside, and it basically belongs to the three-regardless region, and bandits, wanted criminals, cultists, and dark mages are all willing to run to the Necromantic Highlands. The Slayer Pass is the last pass from the interior of the kingdom to the Necronomix Heights, so the Church has set up checkpoints here to prevent cultists and dark mages from escaping to the Necro Highlands in the hinterland. ”

Arthur had only known that he had to pass through the Necronomicon Heights to go to the Dwarven Realm's Earthfire Fort before, but he had never known the specific situation, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Isn't there a garrison of Holo in the Necrometric Heights?

"The area of the Necronomicon Heights is 300,000 square kilometers, and if you don't count the 100,000 garrisons of the Holo Reaper Legion, the Terrans living on the highlands are only tens of thousands of people at best, and most of them are cultists, criminals, and bandits, so there is no need to maintain order at all. Holo's garrison is only responsible for monitoring the movements of the aliens and guarding several large mines. ”

Arthur suddenly thought of the Death Academy, "I heard that the Death Academy is in the Necromantic Heights, and they are not responsible for the maintenance of order?"

"Looks like you idiot really doesn't know anything about Necro Heights. The mercenary sneered but still explained to Arthur, "The Grim Reaper Academy is not a keeper of order, but a hunter, and they train students by hunting orcs, bandits, and cultists in the highlands. ”

When the two were talking, the convoy had already arrived at the city of the pass, and the captain of the Falcon Mercenary Regiment took the initiative to negotiate.

The captain of the mercenaries obviously knew the guards of the Punishment Knight, and directly asked the four young mercenaries, including Arthur, to carry two large barrels of spirits from the car.

"This mercenary looks a little raw, huh?" said the Punishment Knight as he suddenly pointed his sword at Arthur.

"Look at his bronze badge, the little mercenary newly recruited by the mercenary group, who brought him to the Necromantic Heights for a long time. The mercenary captain replied quietly and casually.

The Knight of Punishment stared at Arthur several times, but found nothing suspicious.

This was also the most stringent inspection the mercenary group encountered, and all the trucks were opened for careful inspection, and all the mercenaries, including Joan and Spence, were also inspected one by one.

Fortunately, no one in charge of the inspection of the punishment knight had ever seen Joan and Spence, and the experienced two did not show any flaws, and the mercenary group passed the spirit slashing level without danger.

After passing the customs, go five miles and you will arrive at the destination of this trip, Shining Town.

Shining Town is a small town with a population of less than 1,000 on weekdays, but the streets are lined with shops. This is the last place of order for the Terrans in the Necromantic Heights, and those who enter the Highlands will generally make their final supplies here, and most of the rare ores and Warcraft materials harvested by mercenaries and adventurers from the Highlands will also choose to sell here.

Further down from Shining, the Highlands are a land of utter chaos, and the only rule in the Highlands is that the jungle eats the strong.

By the time the mercenary group entered Shiningtown, it was completely dark. After the mercenaries drove the van to a hotel in the town to stay overnight, Joan invited the falconry mercenaries to dinner.

After successfully delivering the goods to their destination, the mercenaries' mission was over, so they gladly accepted Joan's employer's invitation. However, the cautious mercenary captain still left four mercenaries to guard the cargo, and Spence also chose to stay at the hotel because of his old wounds.

The mercenaries had been to Shining Town several times before, leading Joan and Arthur directly to the Moon Elf Bar they had frequented before.

When everyone reached the door of the bar, a cannonball-like figure fell out of the bar.

It seems that this trip to the Necronomical Heights is not destined to be peaceful......
