Chapter 779 Iron and Blood
Shadow smiled and said: "I'm here to find a friend." He had already walked to Ronis.
Ronis was playing cards and eating. There was a small plate next to his table with some snacks and two fruit and vegetable sandwiches on it.
Ying Yi didn't eat any food in the afternoon and happened to be a little hungry. He didn't care whether Ronistong agreed or not, so he took the sandwich on the plate and started eating.
Ronis didn't even look at Ying again. He still played cards with the villagers with a smile on his face, as if there was no shadow around him.
The villagers were curious, and someone said: "Ronis, this little brother is here to see you, right?"
Ronis then turned around and smiled: "Haha, you are here." He smiled He looked like he was meeting an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
Kage didn't expose him, smiled and nodded: "Yes, I want to talk to you, but I see you are very busy."
Ronis covered the cards on the table , beckoned to a villager next to him and said: "Come and fight a few times for me. If I win, it's yours, if I lose, it's mine."
The villager patted the sawdust on his body and said happily. He took Ronis's seat.
Ronis smiled at the shadow and said, "Let's go over there and have a chat."
Arrived at a deserted corner at the edge of the village, Ronis' smile gradually faded: "If you can chase me here, it's up to you. If you have the ability, what do you want to do? Do you want to end it here? "
"Hey, don't be so angry, I have no hostility to you." Ying squatted on a cut tree stump. I ate the last bite of the sandwich and licked my fingers.
“You’re not here because of the robbery?” Ronis frowned slightly.
Ying looked at him for a long time and said: "That batch of goods is not mine. Whether you grab it or not has nothing to do with me. Besides, it's not lost. I'm just a little curious. What do people like you do? Why did you commit robbery and become a bandit?”
Ronis said: "This is my business, there is no need for you to meddle."
Ying shook his head and said: "You are wrong, I just like to meddle, interesting things I always want to find out. Besides, I think you seem to be hiding something from the villagers here. Don’t they know you are a bandit?”
Ronis gritted his teeth and said nothing.
"It seems that I guessed it right." Ying smiled and said: "The accent you speak is different from the accent here. You should be a foreigner. How can a foreign expert like you stay here? What about the small village? And what about you just now? Knowing that I didn't come to you for robbery, not only did you not relax, but your tone became more solemn. I guess again, you probably hid here to avoid revenge. "
Ronis. There were some changes in his expression.
Ying continued: "There are more than a hundred of you, which is not a small number. When we were robbing on the mountain road in the afternoon, we attacked and retreated very quickly. It is obvious that we are not bandits who were put together temporarily, but have been together for a long time and have been trained. There is a very tacit cooperation." He clasped his fingers and said: "There are a lot of people, tacit cooperation, extraordinary strength, and a lot of talents. No ordinary bandit group can have such a level, so you are very good. Maybe he is a member of a powerful mercenary group. I remember reading a newspaper a few months ago, which read the title "The Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group collapsed, and the enemies joined forces to destroy the Iron-Blooded City." Are you? A member of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group? "
Ronis's eyes were red and his fists were clenched. He didn't expect that the kid in front of him could guess his identity based on only some fragmentary clues.
Ying laughed, clapped his hands and said, "It seems I guessed it right again."
"Who are you?"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Ying waved his hand and said: "I told you that I have no hostility towards you, nor am I an enemy of your Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group." As he spoke, his face changed, and he muttered: "This guy! He actually left."
Ronis didn't understand what he meant by the last sentence.
It turns out that after Bing Zhixie found out through Ying that Ronis was a member of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group, he was too lazy to take care of the business here and went to Sindmoor alone.
Shadow said: "But I still don't understand how the core members of your dignified Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group started robbing caravans. Could it be that with the decline of Iron-Blooded, the members' sense of honor has also disappeared? ”
King’s words were like a thorn, making Ronis look angry and clenching his fists loudly. For a mercenary group, especially one as famous as the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group, the team's honor is more important than life.
Ronis was angry for a while, but finally sighed and slowly let go of his hand.
Wherever there are people, there is business. In a small village as big as an egg, there are places to drink and eat meat. This is a small restaurant opened by a resident in his own home. The place is not big, and there is only one dining table for customers. The table and stools are not decorated. They should be freshly made in the village, and they are solid.
Ronis ordered some food and wine and sat across the table from Shadow.
Ying doesn't like sweets very much, and he couldn't finish the small piece of sandwich just now. Now he saw a big bowl of fragrant braised meat, and he took the bowl and finished eating first.
After serving the food, Ronis waved the boss to leave and not to disturb him.
The boss was very relieved about Ronis, left him alone, and went upstairs to sleep.
Ronis poured himself a glass of wine. The wine was very strong, and he drank it in one gulp, as if he had hundreds of worries and depressions in his heart that needed to be relieved. After drinking, he began to talk about this matter slowly: "A few years ago, the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group planned to break into the Blurred Realm, one of the ten most forbidden areas. For this matter, our whole group worked hard After a long time of preparation, it finally happened two years ago."
Ying nodded: "I heard about it."
Ronis said. Our iron-blooded mercenary group is now all A It is one of the most powerful mercenary groups among the top mercenary groups, and it is also a mercenary group with a long history. Our group leader plans to make this trip because he wants to use this event to recruit more talents and become the first mercenary group in the impact. The magic code of eight S mercenary regiments. This was originally a good thing, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect that in the end..."
"I didn't expect that the whole group was almost destroyed, right?" br>
Ronis shook his head and said: "It's not almost. No one who went there came back alive."
The shadow said: "The realm of confusion is so terrifying!"
Ronis said: "The realm of confusion is so scary!" The Territory is the least known among all the ten known forbidden areas. The leader decided to go to the Territory of Bewilderment. We are also attracted by this, so in order to make a successful trip, our entire group has made full preparations and recruited many people who know something about the Blurred Realm."
Ying Xin thought: "With Alex's ability, it's no wonder he can join an A-level mercenary group like Tie Xue. It turns out that Tie Xue wanted to go to He made preparations for the trip to the Blurred Realm, but he never imagined that this would be his final journey without return."
Ronis said: "I don't know what happened to them in the Blurred Realm, captain. The last time they used the Tongyi Stone to reply was that they were safe, and there was no news from me after that. After the leader loses contact, the situation at the station will become very dangerous. The Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group has been established for a long time, and there are many hostile guild members and enemies. If they know this situation, they will start a war with us immediately, so I blocked it. received the news and recalled all members who were performing tasks in the field.”
Shadow said: "This matter cannot be hidden."
"You are right." Ronis said: "I recalled the team members. Such changes were quickly noticed by the hostile forces. They After some inquiring, we found out about our situation. Not long after, the news came that the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group was in the Blurred Realm. The news spread in newspapers and taverns, and suddenly all the enemies came to the Iron Blood City, the headquarters of Sassensans."
Sassensans: a relatively poor and small country, it later developed a mercenary economy. It is a country that uses mercenaries to drive national economic development. It is one of the few mercenary countries in the world. (Mentioned in the first volume.)
Ronis said: "I led the remaining members to resist several times, but in the end I was still unable to save the Iron-Blooded City. After the station was breached, the members fled in all directions, and we Taking the remaining people to avoid being chased by the enemy, they hid everywhere and achieved success every day. Members were killed by the enemy, and every day members abandoned the group and left. Until now, there are only more than a hundred people left."
After hearing this, Bing Zhixie sighed in his heart, never expecting that this person was once so prominent. At one time, the iron-blooded mercenary group had tens of thousands of members, but now it has this result.
Ying poured him a glass of wine and asked: "Then what? Do you want to hide like this forever?"
Ronis said: "Of course not, but we have no money. Over the years, team members have The regiment is our home, and a lot of money is spent on the construction of the team and the station, or on upgrading and improving our own equipment. You know, mercenaries like us can't keep money, so we hide all the way. Come down, our deposit It will be almost spent soon."
He picked up the wine glass and took a sip and said: "Brothers have worked hard for the team for so many years, and we can't let them end up like this, right? He is one of the deputy captains of the Iron-Blooded Mercenaries. Even if they are unable to rebuild the former honor of the Iron-Blooded Mercenaries, they cannot be left without a penny and become paupers. "
"So you decided to become bandits? "Shadow said.
“No.” Ronis said: “We didn’t think so at the beginning. I originally wanted to share my savings over the years with everyone, but it would be impossible to distribute that amount of savings to everyone. It's not enough, and they don't want it." He stopped here, as if he wanted to say it, but didn't want to go on.
Ying thought to himself, it seems that what happened next was related to the reputation of their iron-blooded mercenary group, and he didn't want to talk about it anymore.
Ronis hesitated for a while and said: "Oh! Just say it. Anyway, you have seen the robbery. I have ruined the iron-blooded honor long ago." He paused and said: " Later, one of our captains got in touch with a friend of his in Sindmoor. His friend was Sindmoor. An official from Moor. We originally planned to use this official's help to hide in Sind Moor for a while, but this official said that the Sind Moor government had recently discovered the Tomb of the Hero King and was planning an archaeological project. He intended to sabotage the archeology and steal the tomb. The wealth inside.”
When Ying heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
