When I used to read fantasy novels on Earth, mercenary groups were indispensable. But novels are novels after all. Seeing these adventurers with their blades licking blood still gave Xu Feng a shock.
To be fair, in such a small place, what they hired was at best a third-rate mercenary group. There were no magicians, and there were not a wide variety of professional combinations. After all, there were only a few people who could master magic. There were more than a dozen mercenaries, except for samurai or warrior, The only two archers are also equipped with short knives for close combat, and among these dozen people, except for the leader Nike who barely passed the assessment of the intermediate and low-level knights association, the others are all low-level knights. In other words , not even fighting spirit.
The reason why I say barely is because the fighting spirit that separates middle-level and low-level people is very thin, and it cannot last long when fighting. Compared with Miss Catherine, who is also a middle-level low-level person, although the level is the same, there is a gap. is very obvious.
But this is not because they don't work hard, but because they are restricted by their talent. In fact, Xu Feng can feel an aura from these mercenaries, an aura of iron blood, even though they are not strong, and even though they have not mastered very advanced martial arts. , but these mercenaries used the swords in their hands and their boiling blood to kill the monsters, repel the thieves, and protect the commercial trade from Ruhr to the imperial capital.
Soon the caravan was ready, and Xu Feng followed them on the journey to the imperial capital. It was noon, and the sun was shining on him. The young man looked back and glanced at the city of Ruhr. This was when he arrived. The first place to stay after Aquamarine. I will definitely come back in the future.
The future is long. As a member of the time-traveling army, can Xu Feng make a difference?
※※※
The bonfire was crackling, the spring was chilly, and the night in the forest was a bit cool. Xu Feng and the members of the caravan gathered around the bonfire, drinking and talking. This was already the fifteenth day after leaving Ruhr City.
Although there is a smile on his face, Xu Feng is actually not in a good mood. How should I put it...a bit boring. The adventure is actually not as good as imagined. Along the way, he has eaten and slept in the open, worked hard, and every day when eating dinner , listening to the elderly people telling some stories around the campfire, but to be honest, they are far less exciting than the novels. Xu Feng shook his head and told himself, be patient and everything will get better. When he gets to the imperial capital, he will definitely be able to show his talents and open up. Create a new world.
Although it took a bit of hard work, thankfully, the journey went smoothly and no bandits or dangers were encountered. However, the experienced mercenaries did not relax their vigilance. Under the command of captain Nike, they deployed Several warning sentinels.
The bonfire was blazing, and people drank low-quality soju. Although it didn't taste good, it could keep warm and dispel the severe cold in the early spring night. Just halfway through dinner, a sharp whistle suddenly came over. Nike's face changed, and the servant who was resting next to him The soldier also stood up, with his sword unsheathed and his bow strung. The whistle just now was the pre-arranged warning signal.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
"Don't panic, everyone, I'm going to check on the situation!"
They don't panic when things change, and their acting style is admirable. Although this small mercenary group is not very strong, it is very experienced.
Roar!
There was a loud roar that made the trees tremble. The sound was far louder than the king of beasts on the earth. No, it was a monster.
Most of the businessmen had a look of fear on their faces, how could they be so unlucky.
Planet Aquamarine has a more complex ecosystem than Earth, and animals are divided into two types. One is ordinary beasts, but they are generally more ferocious than those on Earth, and the other is the legendary magical beast in fantasy novels.
Warcraft, as the name suggests, have more or less strange abilities. They are synonymous with ferocity. Even if they are as powerful as magicians, they are not willing to provoke them easily unless necessary. I am really unlucky today.
Roar!
The trees trembled, and the sound got closer. Finally, Xu Feng saw this legendary creature. It looked like, how should I say...a bit like a tiger on earth, but it was at least twice as big, and the surface of its body was not smooth. The fur was replaced by hard armor with countless sharp spines.
"Sword-armored tiger!"
A trace of astonishment flashed in Nike's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by tenacity. The situation was not good. The Sword Armored Tiger was an earth-type monster. According to the data of the Adventurer's Guild, it had been rated as Level 4. His strength and It seems too weak in comparison.
There was blood on the corners of Warcraft's mouth. Obviously, the two mercenaries on guard duty had been killed. Seeing the tragic death of their teammates, the other mercenaries showed anger in their eyes, but they did not act rashly. At this time, they should obey the captain's command.
Unlike ordinary beasts, Warcraft are not only powerful, but also intelligent. Their intelligence is directly proportional to their level. According to legend, the wisdom of the ultimate Warcraft is enough to compare with humans.
The sword-armored tiger belongs to level four, which is a typical mid-level monster. From the fierce light flashing in its eyes, it can be seen that this sword-armored tiger comes out to look for food. As the saying goes, people die for wealth and birds die for food. A hungry monster. There is no need to mention the danger.
But it also saw that the dozen or so people surrounding it were not easy to mess with. Roar, the sword-armored tiger roared in protest.
Xu Feng and the members of the caravan were hiding behind. There was not much fear in the eyes of this young man from the earth, but more excitement and a little nervousness. Warcraft, this is something only found in novels. What will happen between fiction and reality? What a difference. Xu Feng stared at the monsters in the field with bright eyes.
Although the sword-armored tiger was intelligent, it was not very tall. Such a confrontation quickly wore out its patience. With a roar, it pounced on a mercenary on the left.
