Chapter 279 late night
The frost territory is not outside the winter city.
Kach walked in the cold snow with two servants in a mink coat.
In the dense snow forest a long distance away from Wudong City, a large number of mercenaries in various costumes gathered next to the fire to cook the fire. The temporary tents were shaking under the bitter cold wind. They gathered on their own groups, mostly with gloom and unhappiness on their faces.
Most of them are free mercenaries who depend on the Randolph family. It is obviously better to be raised by the big family than to wait for some jobs outside the union to take on some blood licking on the tip of a knife.
In fact, the strength of the mercenaries is very chaotic. Many of them are also entitled to the triple mercenaries, adventurers, and professionals. Many people are able to join the army and get better guarantees. Unfortunately, the mercenaries do not like to be restrained by nature. The life in the military camp will drive them crazy.
Most of these mercenaries are not good at being, and some corps have red copper-level adventurers. Even those who are upward will not be willing to rely on the big family to become chamber pots that others call and waving.
Next to a burning fire, more than a dozen mercenaries wearing leather armor and animal trousers were clustered together. In the middle was a bald man with a fierce and scarred face. There was a big sword that was tall among them, and the others were vaguely led by him.
"Brother Shrek, what's the idea of that guy Katchi? He took us from the seven-colored stars in the territory from afar. He wouldn't be full and full, right?" A short-haired woman came to him and asked in a low voice.
Most of the mercenaries around were discussing this matter.
"It shouldn't be a good thing," he replied.
Thinking of the possible purpose of this trip, Shrek's face gradually sank. He was the arrogant mercenary who had made trouble in the tavern at that time, the leader of the Black Iron Mercenary Group, and the Red Copper-level adventurer.
After the last group was destroyed, he was lucky enough to be saved by the black bread given by Skul and regained his life. Shrek no longer had the courage to fight hard and reorganized a new mercenary group and went to the west to rely on the Randolph family.
I originally thought that my future days would be to eat, drink and retire, but I didn't expect that some time ago I suddenly received an emergency task to follow Master Kach Randoff to the Hanfrost Territory and keep my mouth shut.
Each mercenary group received an additional reward, enough to allow them to spend their entire lives freely after completing this mission! Similarly, they were forced to swear to the goddess of wisdom and never disclose the content of this mission.
I have been in Wudong City for a while, and the feeling of omission is getting stronger and stronger, especially in the past few days, the believers of the church have arrived one after another, the team has become larger and the staffing is in chaos.
Shrek was both afraid and hostile to the people in the church. The last time the mercenaries were destroyed, the brothers who had followed him for many years all died because the people in the church hired them to steal the map of the Black Dragon Treasure. In the end, he left with the map. This thing must be very important to the church. He might not be sure of his name and would be on the blacklist of the courtroom.
"Okay, don't think too much about it. Although we have signed a cooperation contract with the Randolph family, there will be one contract signed by mercenaries. When we judge that the situation is very unfavorable, we can choose to withdraw on the way." Seeing that the members of the group were all worried, Shrek quickly comforted.
All the members of this wave of team members were still new recruits. Seeing them, Shrek thought of his former self and the guys who once surrounded him and shouted "Brother Shrek" every day.
"Hehe, Brother Shrek is a Red Copper-level adventurer. His combat power is the best here. What are you afraid of?" A young man rubbed the dagger in his hand and smiled foolishly. He could get the Adventurer Union rating. Those are adventurers with certain strength.
In their wild ways, they are no different from masters.
"Go to you, little Tucker, why are you talking big or small?" The short-haired woman kicked the young man with a smile, "You must call the team leader, don't learn from us old guys all day long, Brother Shrek."
Shrek laughed loudly and was about to joke with them, but suddenly he was shocked by the sound of horse hooves that were rushing towards him.
The dense sound of horse hooves sounded in the empty snow forest. Judging from his experience, this was a specially trained war horse that could march in the dark and maintain a unified rhythm.
"Warning!" Several mercenary commanders picked up the weapons beside them one after another. The lazy people quickly stood up and looked ahead with weapons with their weapons vigilantly.
Finally, a pitch-black war horse came into their sight, and immediately a cavalry wrapped in armor. He held a spear in his hand and glanced at the mercenaries coldly.
"There are regular cavalry, and there are still a lot of them." Shrek whispered that the regular cavalry has extremely high combat power. When they rode on the war horse, Shrek could only deal with five.
Now, the number of cavalry suddenly appeared in this group is at least hundreds of people.
The number of mercenaries in the camp was about one hundred, so it was too unwise to confront these regular cavalry head-on.
The cavalry led the horses to them and asked arrogantly: "Who is the head here?"
No one answered.
"No matter who you are, how many of them are there, we have requisitioned this camp, bonfire and tent. By the way, everyone took out the freshwater and food and threw it next to this fire. Those who resisted will be killed without mercy!" The leader said coldly, and more and more black war horses appeared behind him, rows of cavalry in exactly the same outfit followed, with no margin at a glance.
Shrek smacked his tongue. There were probably more than one hundred people. They obviously wanted to sit and enjoy their camps and food. The noble army was often more cruel than thieves, and they had powerful power, so they asked for it excessively and were not allowed to resist.
"Give them all the food and water." Shrek made a quick decision. Compared with these external things, life is more important. When Kach Randolph comes, things may turn around.
Seeing that he was the first to offer water and food, the other mercenaries secretly scolded him for being corrupt, and the mercenaries did not dare to move, let alone the people from the church.
The members of the Black Iron Mercenary Group were all indignant, but they could only hand over the little leftover tamasu and food with the leader.
"You know what you know, get out of here." The cavalry lightly pointed Shrek's head with a spear and said arrogantly. Shrek resisted the urge to rush up and lifted him off the horse, and walked to the side silently.
Most of the mercenaries did not want to go to war with the cavalry, so they could only offer supplies one by one, and then left the camp and sat in the cold snow.
"Brothers, eat and drink water." The cavalryman came down from his horse and greeted the cavalry behind him. Soon a large number of black cavalry dismounted and rushed into the camp. Seeing them eating their own food and drinking their own water, the mercenaries almost bit their teeth.
However, when they saw the continuous emergence of cavalry, the displeasure on their faces gradually disappeared. The number of people was too large! There was no room for all the cavalry in a huge camp.
Shrek recalled carefully that near Wudong City was the Permanent Ice Field and the Heart of Frost. There was a territory ruled by the natives. Without cavalry, did they come from the Snowman Realm? But looking at their outfits and accents, they all felt that they were Southerners.
At this time, a cavalry suddenly walked to the leader's side and whispered. Then, the leader's cavalry threw down food and water, picked up a spear, and led several cavalry toward Shrek and others.
