After a terrible battle, the mouth of the Sauron Gorge was littered with corpses and discarded blades.

It won't be long before these corpses and blades will be withered and weathered over time, just like the rest of the battlefield, and it will be impossible to tell who they once belonged to.

The three surviving black-clad killers rummaged through the mercenaries' bodies one by one, and the purpose of this well-organized assassination was certainly not as simple as killing people.

The leader of the killers stood alone under the cliff on one side, staring at the roaring and rushing river below for a long time.

For him, this was almost equivalent to a failed operation, with only three of the sixteen groups of eighteen elite killers surviving in the end, as well as the loss of a seventh-level ice mage, which was a valuable resource for any organization, and he also lost an arm.

The only consolation is that although it has cost a huge price, the mission has finally been completed, and this difficult B-class mercenary group has been completely wiped out.

As for Arthur who jumped from the canyon, he was not considered at all, from the ground to the river under the canyon cliff was more than ten meters high, and the river flowing down the river was turbulent and meandering, and the bottom of the river was densely covered with reefs, not to mention a little guy who had just broken through the third level, even if he jumped down, he was afraid that he would be dead and alive, not to mention that the kid was still stupidly holding the heavy giant sword.

"Commander, nothing was found. A black-clad killer walked up behind him and whispered.

The killer leader's body shook and he couldn't help but shiver.

......

Arthur didn't know why he subconsciously grabbed the giant sword at that moment?

"Anyway, if you can't swim, you will die if you jump by yourself, and it is better to carry it than to fall into the hands of those killers. ”

"Am I just dead?"

"What is the world like after death?"

These thoughts popped into Arthur's mind the moment he jumped.

With a loud pop, Arthur smashed headlong into the water, and the bones in his body seemed to be shattered, and the world was spinning, and all the thoughts in his mind were empty.

Arthur subconsciously opened his mouth, and the water poured into it.

Arthur's grip on the hilt of the sword still didn't let go, and his body quickly sank to the bottom.

Arthur's eyes were closed, he couldn't breathe, his mind was blank, and just when Arthur felt that he was going to be completely unconscious, his body suddenly lightened, and his whole body slowly surfaced.

Arthur looked up and breathed heavily, and when he opened his eyes completely, he found that not only was he floating on the surface of the river, but even the greatsword was floating on the water.

More precisely, it was the greatsword that floated and dragged Arthur out of the water.

"Isn't metal supposed to sink to the bottom, why does such a heavy sword float?" Arthur was completely stunned.

The turbulent river swept Arthur and the greatsword downward, this strange sword seemed to suddenly lose its mass in the water, Arthur was easier to control in the water than on land, and when he encountered a rocky reef in the water, Arthur swung past it with the tip of his sword.

The "Danyang Refining God" operates, and the body emits a scorching temperature, and staying in the icy river water for a long time will not make Arthur lose his body temperature.

Flowing through a dangerous whirlpool, falling down countless steep hills and waterfalls, when Arthur felt that all the bones in his body had been shattered, and his body was completely numbed by the water, the current began to become gentle, and Arthur finally climbed onto a flat river beach.

Arthur, who was about to be soaked by the river, stood up and looked at the unfamiliar mountains around him, and he was completely confused......

......

In peacetime when there was no war with the orcs, the city of Huaorez was a peaceful town on the edge of the Terran kingdom.

Except for the gossip news that the lord of the castle entrusted the task of purchasing the dragon whip in order to deal with the newly married concubine, and the "blood-piercing" Tristi and the "Wild Sand" mercenary group Tourei made a big move in the nightingale bar in order to fight for a woman, there are no more noteworthy incidents.

However, the news that happened in the past two days has shocked the entire city of Huaorez and become the focus of everyone's talk on the streets.

The strongest "Blue Enchantress" mercenary group in the city, the leader of the group, Keynes, led almost all the main forces of the mercenary group to take on a mysterious mission more than a month ago, and has not returned yet. And just the night before, the regimental headquarters of the "Blue Enchantress" was burned to the ground, and not a single mercenary in the entire mercenary group escaped, and all the corpses were burned to the ground.

No trace was left at the scene, the wounds were barely recognizable from the charred corpses, and almost all of them were deadly swords to the vital point. The murderer set the fire after killing everyone.

Both the City Lord's Mansion and the Mercenary Guild have issued huge bounty missions to hunt down the murderers and arsons of the "Blue Enchantress" headquarters.

Two days passed, and no clues were found.

Although there are no clues, many old mercenaries have vaguely guessed that the "Blue Enchantress" must have provoked a terrible enemy on this mission, and although Keynes did not come back, there is a chance that he will never come back.

Not to mention the B-level mercenary group in the border town of "Blue Enchantress", in the long history of the mainland, it is not uncommon for S-level super mercenary groups and even wealthy families to be uprooted overnight because of an opponent who should not be provoked.

"Blue Enchantress", this mercenary group with a mysterious color that rises as quickly as a comet, and falls as quickly as a comet.

Half a month later, no matter how big the news is, it has become old news, and few people mention this tragedy after dinner.

A rainstorm that had been building for days finally fell, and a young man in ragged clothes ran into the city at the last minute when the city gates were about to close.

Arthur, who had been in the Orlando Mountains for a month, finally came home.

Home, in three years, Arthur has already regarded the mercenary group as his home, Keynes, Randall, Adeline, Tony...... It's all my own family.

Captain Cairns and Adeline were killed in battle, but Randall and Tony were still there, and his home was still there, and he wanted to tell Randall what had happened in Sauron's Gorge.

It was this belief that sustained Arthur and made him endure hunger, the infestation of wild beasts, and the endless suffering to finally get out of the mountains!

When Arthur realized that the blackened pile of rubble in front of him was the headquarters of the mercenary group, his eyes were dark, and he fell directly to his knees.

The belief that has always supported him is gone!

At this moment, Arthur is really confused, only himself survives in the entire mercenary group, where will he go?

In the night rain, the boy could no longer control his emotions and cried loudly.

Arthur hadn't cried for years since he had been caught in the orc camp and had seen death, but at this moment tears poured out uncontrollably, tears mixed with rain.

A large hand silently grabbed the weeping boy's shoulder......
