Chapter 44: The Empty Box
This time the sword collided and the two seemed to be evenly matched. But Jack, Redding, Molia and Johnny behind Wren didn't have that much luck. They were surrounded by enemies several times their size, and even if a few people were strong, there was no way to break through.
The two of them fought each other here, but the rest of the orcs charged and plunged directly into the middle of Johnson and the mercenary group.
This left Johnson and the other four far away. Chloe, Jack and Reading had no choice but to surround the iron box and keep watch by the iron box.
Those orcs had already prepared, and they all wore shields one after another.
Moria's long-range bow was suddenly ineffective. She was worried about Johnson's safety and hurriedly rushed to Johnson. But how could those orcs let her pass easily?
Molia sighed in her heart that she was useless, she didn't even understand such a simple separation tactic.
At this time, six or seven more people stepped forward and forcibly used their shields to scatter Johnny and the others, and Johnny and the others had to take care of their own safety first.
These dozen or so people have at least the level of intermediate level sixth, is this a C-level mission? Chloe and the others couldn't help but be a little incredulous. Fortunately, these people don't seem to be hurting. It's just a matter of pushing them away.
"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and it turned out that the iron bull had already taken advantage of the fact that a few people had no time to take care of it, and smashed the copper lock with an axe, and then took the opportunity to open the iron box.
"Brother Stephen, there's nothing in that box!" shouted Iron Bull.
"What, cunning humans, where have you hidden the relics?" shouted Stephen.
"What? There's nothing in there?" Johnson was also surprised. Have you been betrayed?
As he was talking, he was caught off guard and slashed at him again. Johnson was about to turn around and dodge the blow.
saw that the knife was still half a step away from Johnson, but it was blocked by a shield that emitted a golden light.
"Holy Light Shield?" Stephen said, "Why is the Cult of the Illuminati also involved? You are sent by the Cult of the Illuminati? Dog thief, eat me again!"
Stephen slashed at Wren who was rushing towards the battle formation. Wren's holy light shield couldn't retreat back to his side for a short time. It looked like he was about to be slashed by Stephen. Wren only felt a huge momentum lock him in, making him unable to move.
The momentum of this high-level warrior is terrifying against the middle-level Rennes.
"No!" Johnson said quickly, also stabbing Stephen with a sword.
Seeing this, Stephen hurriedly protected himself with a knife. Wren breathed a sigh of relief.
"We're not from the Church of Light, who are you!" Johnson said.
"Who are you?" Stephen didn't answer Johnson's question.
"Captain Johnson, they shouldn't be bad people either. Wren said, remembering the village chief who had been imprisoned for half a month, at least these people were not murderous people.
"Bad guys, huh!" Stephen smiled, "You are mercenaries who were summoned by the Dragon's Summon?"
Johnson didn't speak, just nodded slightly, he also sensed that this dragon summoner seemed to be using their mercenary group as bait.
Seeing this, Wren hurriedly said, "Yes, we are mercenaries!
Stephen looked at the Brotherhood Sword in Wren's hand and smiled, "The weapon is good, but it's a pity that the skill is still a little loose." ”
Wren couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this, he really hadn't practiced martial arts properly since he came to this world, and it seemed that after this matter was over, he really had to ask Johnson for advice.
Seeing that they were all mercenaries, Stephen hurriedly said, "This Mr. Johnson, let's stop." We should all be taken advantage of. ”
Seeing that the shouting stopped, the boulder mercenary group hurriedly gathered around. Protected Johnson and Wren.
Seeing this, Johnson came to the big box that had been cut open by the iron bull, opened the lid of the box and looked at it, and sure enough, there was nothing in it. But that's it, and even released a C-class mission to escort himself.
Johnson was angry and slammed his punch into the iron box. The iron box disintegrated in an instant, and this strength was not much worse than that of the iron bull.
"These bastards don't treat mercenaries as human beings!" Johnson said angrily.
When Stephen's people saw it, this man was so brave. In addition, the man actually fought Stephen in a tie. The orcs all worship the strong, so they are naturally impressed by Johnson.
"Mr. Johnson, since we have no grievances, let's leave it at that!" said he turned around and was about to leave.
The rest of the people saw that Stephen was gone, and quickly gathered people to prepare to evacuate. It seems that his side has also fallen into the trap of others.
Johnson hurriedly nodded: "May I ask your name?"
"Orc Kingdom, Stephen!" Stephen shouted as he walked away, but he didn't turn his head.
"This werewolf is a guy you can befriend!" Johnson said.
"Orcs can be trusted more than humans!" said Reading, who had always been silent.
"Wren, how did you get here?" Johnson said before remembering Wren.
"I went on that search mission with Tyran, and when I learned that someone was coming to trouble your team, I hurried over. Wren said.
"It's mainly my credit, if you can catch up with these people!" Zunbao didn't know when he jumped out of Wren's arms. The brush became louder.
"Yes, yes, thanks to Zunbao today, he didn't know how he was able to follow the movement of this team of people and horses quietly. Wren also said.
"Zunbao, don't you let men ride it?" laughed Johnny and Jack.
"No way, Tyran is angry......" Zunbao said with a pout.
"If I don't let Wren ride first, Tyran will send me back to the forest!" said Zunbao depressedly.
Everyone hurriedly laughed. Naturally, Zunbao's speed is much faster than that of ordinary horses, so it is not unusual to be able to catch up.
"Brother Johnson, did this escort mission fail?" Wren asked.
"On the surface, it seems to be a failure, but this is clearly using our mercenaries to attract the attention of the enemy. According to the rules of the mercenary code, the responsibility is not ours. Let's get back to Lehman and we'll trouble them again!" Johnson said, looking in the direction of Lehman City in the distance.
I don't know what the purpose of this dragon summon is, but I actually hired a mercenary to send it to death, but fortunately, this team didn't kill after seeing that there was no treasure and evacuated. Otherwise, I'm afraid that this time a few people will also be more than lucky. Johnson thought silently.
Molia cleaned up the mess on the ground, and there were no casualties anyway, and everyone rode their own horses in the direction of Lehman City.
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he saw Tyran waiting anxiously, and only after seeing that Wren and the others were all right, did he put his mind at ease.
Seeing Tyran's look at Wren, Moria probably knew the situation of the two of them. Hurriedly joked: "Tyran, you two?"
Tyran's face turned red. Wren was also open-minded, stepped forward to take Tyran's little hand, and then said to the other members of the mercenary group: "Tyran will be my girlfriend from now on!"
Seeing this, everyone laughed again, saying Rennes, I'm afraid you have bad intentions a long time ago.
Tyran bowed his head in embarrassment.
