Chapter 10: Unpleasant Mobilization
The front-line camp was built inside the fallen city that had not yet completely dissipated, and the black broken bricks and tiles slowly melted away like ice sculptures in early spring, and from time to time there would be remnants of the filthy power dying and dying, trying to turn into the shadows of the mages who defended the city back then, but they were all stabbed by the squatting soldiers before they could take shape.
In fact, purely from the point of view of the efficiency of purification, it is most efficient to let them form and then crusade, but when attacking here, the soldiers have had enough of these mages, and would rather spend a little more time than fight these disgusting guys again.
When Serrando saw this, he shook his head with some regret and said, "Unfortunately, I want to see what spells they can do." ”
The soldier who had just stabbed a shadow heard this, and turned back angrily and said: "It's not you who dare to fight, and you don't have a backache when you stand and talk." ”
As soon as Serrando heard the play: "Okay, let me do it." ”
Li Kehuan, who was leading the way in front, hurriedly stopped him: "The one over there will stop me a little! Hey, why are you doing so much, if you accept the commission of the army, then you will give me honest commands, and you are not allowed to speak again until you go to the place!"
Thrando rolled her eyes at Li Kehuan.
Roth was glad he didn't have to be with the cargo station at all.
Although it was not a pleasant experience to be with other people who didn't have a brand, Thrando was a little too careless to let Rott know that he was with him.
Seven unbranded, four regular adventurers, a total of eleven people took over this commission, and now they are under the leadership of Li Kehuan to meet Liu Yuan, the commander in charge this time.
It is said that this Liu Yuan was not the person who was originally scheduled to lead the team, but because at least half of the officers in the United Kingdom's army were Qin and Han Chinese, they were still replaced by Qin and Han people, and according to Serando's opinion, it didn't matter at all.
Roth tries to suppress his curiosity, trying to observe more of the Dark Man and Ant-Man in the army without destroying his character.
The dark man with a black body can only be seen in places like mines and quarries except in the army, and the ant-man with armor on his body will only appear in the army, if it weren't for the help of the pocket watch given by Joel, Ron is very suspicious that he can control his expression now.
It turns out that the body of a dark person really absorbs light, and it will not reflect even if it is exposed to direct sunlight.
Look at the frowning of those dark people who are exposed to the light! I heard that if they are exposed to the light for too long, they will burn from the inside of their bodies, but I don't know if it's true.
Ant-Man, or the heads of the worker ants and soldier ants in the army are indeed as small as the rumors, their intelligence seems to be directly related to their position and status, and it is rumored that the low-level ants only need the ability to think enough to complete the work, and the superfluous things will not be and cannot be understood at all, so they are the best cannon fodder and coolies.
At this moment, an unbranded man suddenly accosted Roth loudly: "Look at these Ant-Men! I refused to join the army because I couldn't stand these things, I really don't know what you Qin and Han people thought about forming an alliance with these guys in the first place!"
Although Roth didn't want to be unhappy with the other unbranded people, he couldn't help but frown at the Wicken man who suddenly spoke.
But this strong man who was white and red didn't have any intention of restraint: "I can still understand the dark people, at least they still look like people! But Ant-Man? These monsters that grow bones on the outside can also be stained with human characters, aren't they all the sins created by you Qin and Han people!"
At this point, he still didn't seem to be satisfied, and seeing that Roth didn't want to pay attention to him, he even got a little angry in turn, and was about to reach out and grab his shoulder.
A pitch-black blade suddenly approached his throat, halting his movements.
Along with the blade, there was a dark man wrapped in a black cloth.
The dark man didn't say a word, just stared at the strong man with his own eyes that could see in the dark.
Li Kehuan opened his mouth at this time: "What's your name?"
The strong man glared at the dark man and replied, "Vikinkaka, what's wrong?"
"You want to say what your freedom is, but if you say something, you have to bear the consequences, don't take it seriously!" Li Kehuan snorted coldly, "The Ant-Man brothers don't care about this, but we do, so take care of your stinky mouth!"
"What are the consequences? Give Lao Tzu another demerit? It's a big deal to use this credit to top it up!" Although Vijin Kaka said a sentence, he still honestly shut his mouth after that.
There are indeed such people, not that they have committed crimes, nor are they in urgent need of money, or their character is so bad that they can't be regular adventurers and they become unbranded, and they are still unrepentant after that, and they go further and further on the road of self-release.
Roth, a Wican, who was disguised as a Qin and Han people, was in a somewhat complicated mood at this time.
In fact, this idea of Vikin Kaka is not an exception, but not every Wickhn will be as open-mouthed as him, which makes Roth, who is born in Wicken, psychologically biased towards the Qin and Han people because of that swordsmanship book, very entangled.
Unlike the Wickens who excelled at building forts and defending them, the Qin and Han people had fought long distances from far east to the filth.
They first took in the Wa tribe who had to evacuate Sunrise Island due to the fall of the sea, and then faced with the terrible sea beasts that had been polluted, and had to retreat inland because of the long coastline.
But the decision to retreat proved to be a fatal mistake - according to the Church's research, filth polluted not only the land, water and air, but also the [past] of this world.
The historic Qin and Han dynasties were defeated in the battle to face their own history, and the elite troops of all dynasties and generations, the leaders of the martial arts alliance and the evil demon leaders of all eras gathered together in the filthy army, and it was overwhelming.
In order to keep the last fire, the Qin and Han people had to carry out a major retreat.
But they were still caught up by the filth as they crossed the Great Desert, and it was the ant people who came to their aid at that moment.
Considering that without Ant-Man, the Qin and Han people would not be able to cross the Great Desert, and they would not be able to appear at the most critical moment of the Wicken Kingdom, and the current United Kingdom would not be able to talk about it, even if it is not an exaggeration to say that Ant-Man's decision to take the initiative to cooperate with the [monster with bones in the flesh] saved the world.
...... That being said, Ant-Man is really scary to look at.
"Liu Wuchang, I've brought all the adventurers!" Li Kehuan's words pulled Roth back from his thoughts.
Led by Li Kehuan, the adventurers walked around the edge of the fallen city for half a circle, and met the leader at the gate of a camp on the east side.
Liu Wuchang is a lean man of medium and upper height, and the Qin and Han-style mountain armor on his body is eye-catching - this kind of armor is quite complicated to make, in order to mass-produce the current mainstream armor style, it is a set of Western-style plate armor that can be produced with a few strokes of the dwarf's giant hammer, such a mountain armor can only be handed down from the ancestors.
Roth could clearly feel it, but he relaxed a lot when he saw the unbranded people around this armor.
This armor not only shows that the squad itself is unlikely to be sacrificed, but also greatly reduces the possibility that this Liu Wu Commander will use no brand as cannon fodder, the Qin and Han people are still very famous for attaching importance to family style, and a commander who has been a soldier for generations is still relatively trustworthy.
"I can speak for Ant-Man, and I have a background, so I think it's safe this time. Vikinkaka's voice rang out around Roth again, but this time it was much smaller, and he blinked when Roth looked over.
This makes Roth doubt life, and it seems that he can't underestimate these adventurers.
The sword player Li Kehuan and the guerrilla dark man walked to the side of the captain Liu Yuan, and the elven archer Myrok climbed over from behind a broken wall and greeted the adventurers.
Just when the adventurers were curious about where the pikemen in the group had gone, a huge ant-man who stood up straight and was nearly three meters tall slowly paced over, and after uttering a few incomprehensible syllables to the adventurers, he curled up and walked into the group.
"Is this a horse?" muttered one of the adventurers.
Liu Yuan said to the adventurers after all the team members showed their faces: "Adventurers, I am your temporary commander Liu Yuan, you can call me Liu Wu Chang, or just Wu Chang." I don't want you adventurers to be completely at the mercy of orders, but for your own safety, I advise you to keep up with us. I'm sure you've all carefully studied the contents of the power of attorney, but I'm going to repeat it here!"
"This commission is divided into two parts, the first part only needs to help investigate the village, it would be best if you could find the problem directly and solve it at this step, but I don't expect that, and the second part needs to actively wait for the appearance of the fog wall, if necessary, even if someone starts to disappear as the intelligence said, they will not retreat, and if someone wants to exit at that point, please find a way to break out on your own. ”
"You just say that the genuine adventurers should leave as soon as possible?" a no-sign man who covered his face with a hood sneered, "There is no shortage of them in the search village, and they will definitely not be reliable when they are desperate in the future!
"Well, I don't like to hear that, how do you know we're not part two?" said Therlandor.
Another unbranded man with two swords on his back snorted: "You are also a regular adventurer? You only take over jobs once in half a year, and you always steal business with us who don't have a brand." Wouldn't it be nice to be so diligent in studying magic and save some savings to go to the mainland? Why do you have to stay at the border?"
Thrando wanted to fight back, but Ant-Man let out a terrifying roar.
It wasn't a sound made by a vocal organ somewhere, the exoskeleton of Ant-Man's whole body seemed to resonate, and some kind of spell-like effect was even triggered by this low roar, and the sound waves were confined to the adventurers' side, bringing a huge sense of immensity to their minds.
Liu Yuan looked at the shocked adventurers, nodded with satisfaction, and raised his right hand, and then Ant-Man stopped growling.
"What do I do, Elite Soldier Ant...... What the hell is this Wu Chief? It was the same small mutter, but Roth just couldn't find who it was.
"Although I will not expect you to follow orders. Liu Yuan didn't explain Ant-Man's behavior just now, but continued, "But I won't tolerate anyone holding back! Purifying this city requires a lot of manpower, and the number of troops we can allocate to a village is limited, that's the only reason why you're here now! If you feel that you can't get used to it, please leave as soon as possible, if anyone dares to make trouble after leaving, you will bear the consequences." ”
One of the four regular adventurers slowly raised his hand: "Well, I made you a little nervous, is it okay to give up now?"
Liu Yuan nodded and said: "It's a good thing to recognize your current limit, as long as we haven't set off yet, this commission will not be officially started." Go west, turn right when you see the big flag, someone will ask who you are, just give him the power of attorney you have taken, I promise it will not affect your credibility in the Adventurers' Guild. ”
Although Liu Yuan pointed out the way, the warrior did not move immediately.
In the eyes of the other adventurers, he hesitated, but still said, "I'm sorry, I think I still have no problem with the first part of this commission!"
Liu Yuan was expressionless at this: "Is it? Don't force yourself, because if there is really a case, I will not give you the slightest sympathy." ”
