Chapter 21 Prepare for Battle

The red and blue moonlight gradually faded away, the rising sun had not yet fully risen, and the entire city of Huaores was shrouded in the morning mist.

A melodious camel bell rang, breaking through the morning fog and awakening the sleeping city.

When the whole city woke up completely, and when the hustle and bustle of the day echoed in the city again, the Blue Ancestor's mercenary team had already disappeared at the end of the business road outside the city.

The mercenary group that set out early in the morning dispatched more than 70 mercenaries this time. Except for some mercenaries who had not returned to their missions and a small number of left-behind mercenaries, for the Blue Ape, who had only a hundred people, this time it can be said that they all had elite troops.

The entire mercenary team was in loose circles to guard the seven musk oxen in the middle of the team.

The appearance of the musk ox is somewhat similar to that of a cow, but it is gray-white all over, has no horns on its head, is even larger in size, has stronger weight-bearing ability, and is more suitable for trekking in mountains and forests. Strictly speaking, musk ox is a first-level monster, but this huge guy is timid by nature, and its natal magic is also a soil-attached technique that wraps itself into mud balls when it encounters danger. Therefore, musk ox is one of the few monsters on the continent that can be tamed by humans.

There were several huge boxes on the back of each musk ox. In addition to the tents, food, weapons, and medicines used by the mercenary group, there were also items for commissions for this mission. However, this time, except for the leader Cairns, no one knew what the employer had commissioned. Cairns, the box of the three musk ox camels in the middle, was not allowed to approach.

Due to the mercenary's professional code, as long as Cairns doesn't say it, no one will take the initiative to ask because of curiosity.

The profession of mercenaries often roams between legal and illegality. Many employers' entrustments are too shameful. Old mercenaries have seen all kinds of strange entrustments, so they have long been accustomed to this.

The regiment leader Cairns led the team to the front of the team, with magician Adeline and thief Tony following Cairns. As the sergeant of the mercenary group, the hunter Angus kept a distance of two or three kilometers from the team. When he encountered danger, he could warn the team in advance. As for the elf shooter Ilaya, he never showed up in the team when performing missions, but all the mercenaries knew that he was nearby and could always get his timely support when he was at the most dangerous time.

There is another special existence in the entire mercenary team, that is, the little Arthur who became a formal mercenary yesterday.

Today, Arthur is wearing a brand new standard second-level mercenary leather armor. This is a gift from Tony and Angus to officially become mercenaries last night.

Compared with the first-level leather armor that Arthur wore back then, the second-level mercenary leather armor is not very exquisite in workmanship. The leather is also taken from the wolf skin of the second-level monster Xuanfeng Ice Wolf. The surface of the repeatedly tanned leather is soaked in a unique leather luster, and the edges and corners are even more carefully processed.

Don’t look at this basic mercenary leather armor, which costs at least five gold coins on the market. If it were a second-level mercenary group, it would take the first half of the year to afford such a leather armor.

Arthur loves this leather armor even more. He has never taken it off since he put it on last night. The mercenary badge should be placed in a conspicuous position on the left chest of the leather armor. Behind it is also a blue cloak distributed in a mercenary group standard. This cloak is also a second-level equipment. Mercenaries are in the wild all year round. A high-quality cloak can not only shelter from wind and rain, but also wrap it on your body at night to keep you cold. It can also provide certain protection as a second-level equipment.

In addition to the cloak, Arthur also carried a erect iron wanderer bow with a deep luster. This bow was named because of its powerful force and strong bow. The arrow from the string was as eager as a wanderer returning home. The back of the bow was also carved with exquisite patterns of branches and vines intersecting. It was obvious that it was from the hand of the elf Ilaya. This was a gift from the elf. The back and bowstrings were taken from the material of the second-level monster terror dragon.

But the most valuable thing about Arthur was the inconspicuous pair of gray short-pronged leather boots on his feet, which was a gift from Adeline to Arthur.

This is a real third-level equipment. Adeline also specially asked an enchantist to engrave a magic circle of wind magic on it. In danger, Arthur can instantly accelerate. This pair of third-level enchanted leather boots are worth at least 35 gold coins.

The value of Arthur's equipment was that if it were a new mercenary from the small mercenary group, it would not be enough to save up for three to five years. Even Tony was a little jealous and threatened Arthur not to leave Cairns at all, otherwise the jealous mercenary would not be able to help but rob him as a little fat sheep.

Arthur was too lazy to pay attention to Tony. This was his first mercenary mission. He was like a newborn calf. Everything seemed to be novel, and he was busy running around the team.

In fact, Cairns did not arrange any tasks for him, as if the task was to bring him to the market this time. Cairns ignored him, but Arthur was diligent in finding things for himself. He ran to the front to help Angus explore the way, and then ran to the middle of the team to see if the boxes on the musk oxen were loose, and even found out the traces of Ilaya from the dense forest to give him a rare wild fruit he accidentally picked.

It is precisely because of this that Arthur became the most popular one in the mercenary group.

Three days later, the mercenary group had entered the periphery of the Orlando Mountains. There were no roads in the mountains. Only experienced hunters and mercenaries could find the best way to travel in the mountains.

From the moment I entered the mountain, all the mercenaries, including Cairns, began to be highly alert, because the mission really began from this moment.

In the mountains, dangers may fall from the sky at any time. The monsters that suddenly jump out, groups of wild beasts, alien races who go out to practice, and wandering robber gangs may cause huge losses to the mercenary group if they are not bad.

A crisp, rapid bird song suddenly sounded, and without orders, the entire mercenary team stopped instantly.

The birds cries sounded one after another, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, which was Angus's unique warning signal.

Keynes's face became extremely solemn, "Prepare for battle!"

The entire mercenary team immediately moved. Forty mercenaries stepped forward and stood in front of the team. Fifteen mercenaries on both sides protected the wings and the rear of the team.

The **s were quickly taken out and distributed to the mercenaries. These equipment, which were regarded as military contraband, were only used at the most dangerous times, and were usually kept secretly by the mercenary group.
