Chapter 05: Joaurez

The Orlando Mountains are treacherous at night, the eyes of a beast flickering in the darkness, and the eerie bird cries that sound from time to time are terrifying.

The Blue Enchantress mercenary group did not light torches, and the mercenaries carried large bags of loot on their backs, and also carried a team of young beasts, and walked in the mountains in the dark.

The mercenary group traveled very hard, the road was rough in the dark, from time to time mercenaries fell, and large beasts that did not know how to die would suddenly rush over.

However, before the beasts attacking the team could get close to the mercenary group, they would be dealt with by the arrows fired from the darkness. Occasionally, they rushed to the front of the team, but they were also instantly engulfed by Adeline's flames.

After walking non-stop for nearly a night, the mercenary group stopped to rest for the first time when the dawn appeared.

Even so, the mercenary group was forced to stop, because no matter how the mercenary swung the whip, the captured young orcs could not walk.

All the orcs were already slumped on the ground, and the mercenaries began to take turns resting after simply setting up their guards.

Arthur had been silently watching the mercenaries' actions all the way, some of which he couldn't even comprehend, but still remembered them.

The exhaustion of the battle and the overnight march caused the mercenaries to fall asleep quickly, and even the mercenaries in charge of the guard duty could not help but doze off. For the day is dawn, and the danger has passed.

I don't know how long I slept, and the mercenaries were awakened by a scream. All the mercenaries instantly picked up their weapons at hand and prepared for battle.

"Tony, what the fuck are you howling?" said Keynes yawned and sat up.

"Boss, that little lion has run away!"

"How did you run, didn't I tell you to tie it up?"

"Look at the cut in the rope, he was rescued!" Tony showed Keynes the two neatly cut ropes.

Keynes frowned slightly, "Do the other cubs still run?"

"No, he ran away from the lion cub. ”

"Forget it, just run. After a little rest, we will continue our departure and leave here early so as not to have a long night. ”

"Ahh Tony said, his gaze turning to Arthur.

Keynes waved his hand, "No need to check, it's a good thing that the little lion ran away." ”

"Good thing?" Tony scratched his head in confusion.

"Didn't you pay attention to the color of his Dou Qi, it was the Golden Lion Clan's top-level Dou Qi 'Red Sun Flowing Gold', and only family members with heir qualifications could cultivate. The Golden Lion is one of the three most powerful families of the Orcs, and even in our Terran realms they have their eyeliners. What do you think they would have done if they had found out that their heirs had been sold into Terran slavery?" said Keynes with a heaviness in his seemingly flat tone.

Tony, Angus, and the mercenaries around them all gasped, it meant another war between humans and beasts.

Keynes winked meaningfully at Arthur, in exchange for a polite smile from Arthur.

......

Three days later, the Blue Enchantress mercenary group walked out of the Orlando Mountains, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Arthur suddenly noticed that there was one more person in the team. It was a slender man with a handsome face, carrying a large bow with green vines and beautiful carvings. His pointed ears peeking out from his long silky blonde hair reveal his elf identity.

He was the archer who had been hiding in the shadows.

Although the human race and the elf race are not in the same hostile relationship as the orcs, the elves rarely appear in the human realm, and humans are not allowed to enter the elven realm. Arthur wondered how the elf, named Iraya, could become one of the Blue Enchantress's mercenaries.

Seeing that Arthur had been staring at him, Elf Ilaya nodded lightly at him and smiled, and his every move fully demonstrated the politeness and elegance of an elf.

Two days later, a tall city appeared in front of everyone.

The gray basalt wall is twenty meters high, with seven or eight meter-high watchtowers erected on the wall, huge ballistas set up between the battlements of the city wall, and soldiers with weapons patrol back and forth on the city wall.

The drawbridge at the gate was laid on the ground, and people waiting to enter and exit the city lined up in a long queue at the huge arched gate, and a group of soldiers carefully checked the crowd entering and leaving the city.

This is the headquarters of the Blue Enchantress Mercenary Regiment, the small border city of the Terran Isaac Kingdom, Juaures City.

Huaores is also the first line of defense for humans against orc attacks. Historically, the city of Huaorez has fallen and recaptured several times, as evidenced by the bricks covered with swords and axes and the black-brown blood stains on the surface of the walls. Therefore, even in peacetime, the garrison force here did not relax for a moment, and a reinforced guard regiment of 5,000 men was stationed in the city.

Arthur stared at the huge city in front of him in a daze, from the small village where he was born to the dilapidated camp of the orcs, this was the first time Arthur had seen such a tall, majestic building.

The mercenary group did not line up, and walked straight to the city gate under the leadership of Keynes.

"Captain Keynes, did you get a good result this time?" The captain of the goalkeeper was obviously very familiar with Keynes, and instead of inspecting, he greeted him warmly.

"As luck would have it, I caught a few orc cubs and invited the brethren to drink. Keynes casually tossed a few gold coins to the leading captain, in exchange for a compliment from the gatekeepers.

Mercenaries have a status in the Terran kingdoms that are second only to nobles and merchants. Because the mercenary group has the obligation to assist the city guard in wartime, all cities welcome the mercenary group, especially the large mercenary group, and the strength of an A-class mercenary group is even better than a division of the human army.

As the largest city on the border, Ciudad Juaurez flourished during non-war periods. The Orlando Mountains are rich in products, from rare ores to rare herbs, a large number of monster materials, and even some goods smuggled from the Orc Wasteland can be obtained in large quantities.

Arthur, who had never seen so many people, was already dazzled, and everything was new in his eyes.

Because of the escort of a group of little orcs into the city, the Blue Enchantress mercenary group attracted many onlookers, and the bold children even threw stones and spat at the little orcs. The contradiction between humans and beasts has been deeply rooted in the hearts of children and has been passed down from generation to generation.

In the southern corner of the city of Huaorez, in front of a huge courtyard walled with bluestone walls, stood a tall fat man.

The fat man had a cold face, his face was full of horizontal meat, his protruding belly was like a small mountain, he had only one arm, and the other sleeve was cut off at the shoulder.

Looking at the approaching team, the fat man took a few more steps forward before a smile appeared on his face, "Brothers, welcome home!"
