Xuan Yue pointed to herself proudly and said, "I am the leader. You just said that you will obey all orders from Dumb, right?"
Ice Skull nodded. At this time, her heart was surging. The handsome young man in front of her actually said that he was the leader. If that was the case, the strength of the Heavenly Evil Mercenary Group would be too terrifying.
Xuan Yue smiled and said: "Well, Ah-Dai and I are as close as brothers, and he will not object to what I say. I will give you the first and last order on his behalf. From now on. From now on, you don’t have to listen to any orders from Dumb. You are still you, Dumb is still Dumb. At the same time, I order you to return to the Skeleton Mercenary Group and continue to be your light cavalry captain. "Is there any problem with Xuan Yue?" Where are the skeletons following Dumb? Even if Dumb doesn't ask her for help, she will find a way to drive away the ice skeleton. She didn't want a girl to follow Dui next to her every day. That would pose a great threat to her. Love is selfish.
Ice Skull was stunned and said: "But, does he really don't want me to be his subordinate?" At this time, her mood suddenly became very complicated. Before he defeated her, Ah-Dai showed a trace of confidence on his face. The smile kept shaking her heart. For some reason, she now had the idea of following Dumb.
Dumb said: "No, but. Captain Xuanri's words are mine. This is my only order to you. It's getting late, and I think the caravan should set off."
On the side Murac suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly said: "Yes! We have to leave as soon as possible, otherwise we will miss the schedule. Let's just treat it as a friendly relationship with force, don't take it too seriously, let's hit the road."
Bing The skeleton took a deep look at Ah-Dai, then floated up with the extremely ice silver gun in his hand, and landed on his white horse. He raised the silver gun in his hand and shouted: "Let's go." He gently pinched the horse's belly and rushed out first. .
Zong Yue gratefully bowed to Ah-Dai and chased after him. He could understand Ice Skull's current mood very well. She, who had always been proud, was defeated so easily. How could she bear it? Zong Yue and Blood Skeleton are close friends, and Ice Skull is Blood Skull's biological sister, so he naturally wants to help take care of her.
Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue stepped onto the carriage, and Murac followed. The carriage is very spacious, and the three people sitting in it don't feel crowded at all. The soft cushions and luxurious decorations immediately give people a warm and comfortable feeling. Duan was sitting on the left, Xuan Yue was next to him, and said: "Brother, that skeleton mercenary group doesn't dare to be arrogant this time. Your performance just now was really outstanding."
Mu, who just got in the car, Ratz immediately agreed: "Yes! The deputy captain's skills are truly unique to me. The Skeleton Mercenary Group has always been above the top, but this time it also suffered a loss at your hands."
Duan sighed and said to Xuan Yue: "Brother, you have to be more careful what you say in the future. Even if you are an enemy, try to show some kindness to others. If you hadn't proposed to defeat the opponent in three moves, the relationship would not be in trouble now." It's so stiff. Everyone has to get along with each other along the way."
Xuan Yue snorted and said: "Who makes them so arrogant? It makes me angry just looking at it. After all, it has already happened. Wouldn’t it be better to let them know how powerful you are so that no one will mess with us again?” Ah Dai couldn’t say anything to her, and she was speechless. He shook his head lightly.
Mulaci sighed and said: "Little brother! I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think. The skeleton mercenary group can reach its current scale solely because of the strength of their four captains and deputy captains. Strength. This Ice Skeleton is only one of the four. They also have the main leader Blood Skull, and the two deputy leaders Wind Skeleton and Iron Skeleton. The strength of these three people will never be lower than that of the Ice Skeleton. And the Skeleton Mercenary Group. You are very vindictive. You have humiliated Ice Skull today, and I am afraid her brothers will not let it go.”
Xuan Yue snorted, a cold light flashed in her eyes, showing great confidence, "Come just come, are we still afraid of them? Brother, isn't this just a chance for us to practice? Let's just go with these four Let’s fight with skeletons to see who can gain the upper hand.”
Outside Mim City. The three leaders of the Skeleton Mercenary Group are waiting anxiously. Behind them, the other three brigades of the mercenary group are neatly arranged. The heavy cavalry infantry group has a total of 400 people riding on tall horses, including their The horses are all wrapped in thick armor, and each of them has a three-and-a-half-meter-long heavy spear hanging on the saddle. They are the absolute toughest force in the entire skeleton mercenary group. All tough tasks are carried out by They come to complete it. This torrent of steel-like mercenary brigade is led by an iron skeleton who also wears heavy black armor. When the team is marching, they are always at the front. Once they encounter the enemy on the plains, even the regular army will be unable to withstand their tide-like impact. When there are special circumstances or terrain restrictions, they can jump off their horses and transform into heavy infantry. This brigade is all composed of strong men over 1.9 meters tall.
The Wind Skeleton, dressed in a green outfit, rides on his big green horse, carrying a long bow on his back. The bow is 1.6 meters long. It was made by a master alchemist in the Tianjin Empire and has the wind element. With the ability of magic addition, the arrows shot from this bow have the title of Shadowless Arrow. Behind him, there were the same four hundred people in the same cyan attire. They all had long knives on their waists and long bows on their backs. On both sides of the saddle, there were four arrow pots hanging, each with twenty-five arrow pots. With only steel-tipped feather arrows, these archers, under the training of Feng Skull, have developed good archery skills that can penetrate the Yangtze with a hundred steps. Under the action of the steel-headed feather arrows, ordinary light armor could not withstand it at all. Among the entire skeleton mercenary group, this archer group killed the most people.
In the center of the heavy cavalry infantry brigade and the archer brigade, there are two hundred warriors covered in red. They have no armor to protect themselves, but the red armor maintains their flexibility. Each of them carries a Sword with narrow handle. Judging from their attire, their momentum is far inferior to that of the other brigades, but they are the most elite force in the entire skeleton mercenary group. They are the bodyguards of the Blood Skeletons and the commandos of the mercenary group. These people all have strong martial arts skills. Each of them has strength equivalent to that of an assassin from the Killer Guild. Whenever the skeleton mercenary group encounters a difficult bone, it is the time for them to take action. Under the attack of the Blood Skull, Under his leadership, he has always been successful. Since its establishment, the entire team has increased from 20 people at the beginning to 200 people now, without any casualties. The Skeleton Mercenary Group's achievements today are closely related to their efforts. .
The entire skeleton mercenary group is well organized, just like a small army. The four arms cooperate with each other. Even the regular army cannot compare with them. The Tianjin Empire once paid heavily to hire the Four Skeletons to join their army system, but they were all rejected by the Blood Skeletons on the grounds that they needed freedom.
The Blood Skeleton looks like an ordinary middle-aged man, tall and always with a faint smile on his face. He is dressed in gray and is inconspicuous among the entire mercenary group. However, those who are familiar with him know that the happier he smiles, the more ruthless he becomes when killing people. These four skeletons were taught by the Northern Sword Master at the same time. According to their different qualities, the Northern Sword Master taught them different martial arts. However, none of his apprentices could teach him his most proud sword skills. Among the four great sword masters, the northern sword master has the most complex knowledge. Blood Skeleton and Ice Skeleton are brothers and sisters, while the other two skeletons are Blood Skeleton's fellow disciples and Ice Skeleton's fellow disciples. Since Ice Skull is the youngest among them, he is deeply cared for by these brothers.
The Iron Skull had a bad temper. He glanced at the Blood Skull next to him and said, "Brother, why hasn't the little girl come out yet? Why is this caravan so busy? Nothing will happen?"
The Blood Skeleton smiled. Said: "Nothing will happen to my sister. Don't you understand her ability? Third brother, you have to learn to be more stable in the future. How can you be so honest and impetuous? Don't forget, our goal is to surpass Hong Ju. The mercenary group has a long way to go to become the number one mercenary group in the mainland."
Iron Skull said disdainfully: "It will only take a chance to fight against the Red Hurricane mercenary group. Well, I don’t believe they can stop the attack of my heavy cavalry.”
Blood Skull frowned and said: "Don't underestimate the Red Hurricane Mercenary Group. Their three captains and deputy captains are all very powerful. It is said that their captain is a disciple of the Eastern Sword Master. Red Hurricane Mercenary Group Today's achievements are definitely not achieved by just having a large number of people. Although their peripheral mercenaries are not very good, the few thousand people in the core are very strong. We are still in the training period and cannot compete with them. They clashed randomly. Well, look, Fourth Sister is here."
Sure enough, the light cavalry brigade of the Skeleton Mercenary Group rushed out of the gate of Mimu City, four hundred people. They lined up neatly on both sides of the city gate, protecting the caravan slowly leaving the city behind.
Ice Skeleton rode the white horse astride, not paying attention to her men, and rushed straight towards her brothers. Zong Yue followed closely behind her, looking anxious.
Feng Skull said: "Brother, why did the fourth sister come here on her own?"
The Blood Skull also felt strange. According to their plan, the Ice Skeleton should have escorted the caravan and guarded the two wings after joining them. Now She should be commanding her men.
Soon, the Ice Skull galloped in front of them. With a fierce pull on the reins, the white horse rose up and stopped. Even the majesty of the white horse could not withstand her fierce manipulation. He hissed, showing his inner dissatisfaction. Zong Yue panted and caught up to him, gasping: "My sister-in-law, why are you running so fast? You're going to exhaust me to death!"
Ice Skull ignored Zong Yue, glanced at his elder brother, pulled the reins, and moved around everyone. Blood Skeleton said in a deep voice: "Little sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry again?" Ice Skull was still a little afraid of his elder brother, and said coldly: "I'm fine." After saying that, Pull the reins and control the horse to the front.
The Blood Skull looked at Zong Yue and said, "Brother Zong, what's going on with Bingbing? Did something happen in the city?"
Zong Yue sighed and looked into the city. Everything that happened was told again. After listening to his narration, Wind Skull and Iron Skeleton exclaimed at the same time: "Impossible."
Blood Skeleton was also extremely puzzled. Even the master might not be able to defeat his sister with one move! What's more, the other party is just a young man. "Brother Zong, what moves did that person use?"
Zong Yue smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I didn't see it clearly. It was almost just a flash of lightning. That person seemed to have transformed. Two figures appeared, and as soon as they got together with Bingbing, they bound Bingbing's body with green energy. With Bingbing's ability, not only did she have no chance to resist, but she was really unable to break free after being restrained by that energy. What a move! At that time, my eyes were opened. I had never seen Dou Qi used in this way. His Dou Qi seemed to be able to take any form. However, I was really impressed by the fact that the young man was only twenty years old. He is about 10 years old, but his skills are simply superb. Bingbing originally wanted to take his life, but he did not hurt her. By the way, I seemed to hear Bingbing say that he is from the Tiangang Sword Sect. "
The three skeletons looked at each other in disbelief. They all knew that the Tiangang Sword Sect had competed with the Northern Sword Master three times, and they all ended in miserably defeat after fighting for about a hundred moves. The Tiangang Sword Sect had always been the target for them to surpass. Although their strength is too weak compared to the Tiangang Sword Sect, only the second-generation disciples who are over sixty years old have the possibility to defeat them, and it is definitely not something that can be done with one move. The Blood Skeleton smiled, very happily. As the first disciple of the Northern Sword Master, he was not allowed to back down, whether it was for the dignity of his master or for his sister. In his mind, Dumb's defeat of the Ice Skull with one move was a provocation to the Northern Sword Master. How could he not avenge this insult?
The impulsive Iron Skull couldn't help but shudder when he saw Blood Skull's smile, and swallowed back the words he just wanted to ask for a fight. Blood Skeleton's skill has always been the best among the four, and no one of their enemies can defeat him. Escaped from his hands and ascended to heaven, Iron Skull knew that his eldest brother had turned on the real fire.
The laughter of the blood skeleton stopped, and two cold lights flashed through his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The team dispersed, and we will greet the caravan as planned, and prepare to set off."
Wind The skeleton said anxiously: "Brother, is it so easy to let that kid go?"
The blood skeleton smiled and said: "Don't you understand my temper? The mission of the Stan Emperor Alliance is very important to us. They are the main source of the economy of our mercenary group. Of course, we must avenge this humiliation, but not now , do your job well, and don't provoke the other party casually without my order." He looked at the approaching carriage and thought to himself: Come on, no matter how strong you are, I will give you a break. The battle for the ranking of Juggernaut will be up to us first. .
The caravan has arrived. The members of the skeleton mercenary group immediately separated. The heavy cavalry infantry group turned around and faced the distance. The archery group formed a formation behind them. The light cavalry brigade guarded the two wings. The personal guards commanded by the Blood Skull personally went around to the back of the caravan to hold down the formation. More than 1,400 mercenaries were arranged in an orderly manner, forming a solid protection for the caravan.
Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue were very comfortable sitting in a comfortable carriage. This carriage was specially customized by the Stan Emperor Alliance for Mulac. The body was made of hard hardwood and was very heavy. The interior of the carriage was also It is extremely luxurious. Two rows of thick and soft seats are wrapped in satin. A wooden plate protrudes from the center with some fruits on it. The most peculiar thing is the thick springs connected to four giant wooden wheels. These springs are Made of rare metal, it is not only extremely hard, but also has very good ductility. After skilled craftsmen made it, it was made into a spring with full elasticity. One end is connected to the axle and the other end is connected to the body. Even on very bumpy roads The road surface and the movement of the carriage are also very smooth. Sitting in it is like sitting in a moving palace.
Xuan Yue opened the curtains and looked outside, only to see that the caravan had left the city. Around the caravan, more members of the skeleton mercenary group appeared. She had always been fearless, not to mention that her magic level had just been raised to the magic level. As a mentor, he didn't pay much attention to these mercenaries.
Putting down the curtains, Xuan Yue said to Ah-Dai: "Brother, I regret agreeing to this task now."
Ah-Dai said doubtfully: "Why? Isn't this carriage very comfortable? It's better than It will be much easier for us to walk.”
Xuan Yue said: "However, this speed is too slow. According to the current situation, it will take at least twenty days to enter the territory of the Yajin tribe. How boring it is to sit in a carriage every day!"
< br>Mulaci smiled and said: "It's too boring. When the time comes, I may have to rely on two powerful people. You don't know that at the junction of the Tianjin Empire and the Yajin Tribe, there is a small area. We all call the mountain range the Tianjin Mountains. It takes about half a day to cross from one end of the mountain range to the other. The main reason why the Chamber of Commerce Alliance hires so many mercenaries is to guard against bandits there. "
Mulac's words aroused Xuan Yue's interest, "Are there any bandits? Have you encountered them before?"
Murac nodded and said: "Yes! I suffered a lot of losses before. Those bandits were very arrogant. The caravans passing through the mountains had to hand over half of their goods as payment for the journey. Otherwise, they would kill people and take all the goods. All the goods are looted. In order to avoid greater losses, some small caravans often give them goods. They can only make very little money in one trip."
Xuan Yue was confused. Said: "Why do we have to go through the Tianjin Mountains? Can't we take a detour?"
Mulac sighed and said: "The biggest industry in our Standi Alliance is spice manufacturing, including edible food. There are two categories: spices and ordinary spices. These spices must be stored in special sealed warehouses. Otherwise, over time, they will lose their original flavor. This time, 80% of our goods are. For spices, in order to save time and not change the taste of the spices, we can only venture through the Tianjin Mountains. In this way, the quality of the spices can be guaranteed and sold at a good price when arriving at Andisi City. If it were not for these spices, we would of course choose to take a detour. But now that there are two of them here, plus the skeleton mercenary group, I don’t think those thieves can do anything to us.”
Dumb said strangely: "Since these thieves are endangering one side, why doesn't the Tianjin Empire send troops to encircle and suppress them? If this continues, won't it affect the trade between the Tianjin Empire and the Suoyu Federation?"
Mulac sighed. Said: "Why is there no encirclement and suppression? The Tianjin Empire has sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress it seven times, but they failed every time. The terrain of the Tianjin Mountains is very dangerous. Except for one road that can pass through, the rest of the place is full of tall mountains." On the mountain peaks, the bandits were not only numerous in number, but also very familiar with the terrain. They took advantage of the geographical location and deployed various mechanisms to cause the Tianjin Empire to suffer a lot and suffered heavy losses, even though the Imperial Master personally took action and used several of them. Even a large-scale destructive magic failed to cause a devastating blow to them. The whereabouts of those bandits were erratic, and there were many powerful people among them. When they felt that they could not fight, they would temporarily abandon their base and flee to the territory of the Solo Federation. Our Tianjin Empire's army couldn't catch up. It was difficult! Because the Tianjin Empire suffered too much losses and had no good effect, it stopped sending troops to encircle and suppress it. It only stationed heavy troops near the Tianjin Empire. So that the bandits will not cause too much harm. Those thieves are very cunning. They know that they can only survive in the mountains and never leave the Tianjin Mountains. No one knows their specific situation. , I just hope that they will be frightened by the power of the Skeleton Mercenary Group and not act recklessly, otherwise, once a conflict breaks out, it will be difficult to tell."
After a day of traveling, I only walked seven or eight. Ten miles away, because Delen Province is mainly agricultural and the distance between cities is relatively large, the caravan did not rush to the next city and had to camp in the open space. The caravan gathered the carriages together, and the skeleton mercenary group surrounded the outer circle for defense. Tents were pitched around the caravan carriage in the open plains. The caravan and the escorting mercenaries numbered more than two thousand people.
After sitting on the carriage for a day, both Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue felt a little astringent in their bodies. They jumped out of the carriage. Xuan Yue stretched her delicate body and took a few breaths of fresh air on the plains. She suddenly felt much more comfortable.
It was already evening, the setting sun was gradually setting, and the earth was gradually getting dark. Xuan Yue complained: "It's so boring. I sat in the car all day and did nothing." Since the bumps of the carriage were not too bad, It was suitable for practice, and their skills were at their peak, so they didn't force themselves. So during the whole day, apart from chatting, they only dozed off. Even Duan felt a little lonely, not to mention lively and active. It's Xuan Yue, and since meeting Ah-Dai, she has returned to her original cheerful and lively self.
A-Dai looked at the members of the skeleton mercenary group who had tents arranged in an orderly manner around them, and smiled and said: "It's a blessing that this skeleton mercenary group can become a special mercenary group. Brother, look at how they are arranged. How neat! Even though I don’t know any tactics, I know what this defensive formation is.”
Xuan Yue curled her lips and said: "Even if you are so domineering towards them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything big. Brother, how about we go over there for a walk? I haven't digested the meal I had for lunch yet."
A'Dai looked in the direction of Xuan Yue's finger and saw a small forest not far away. It looked very quiet. He nodded and said, "Okay. Let's come back after dinner."
Muraci came to them, glanced at the four leaders of the skeleton mercenary group gathered not far away, and whispered: "You must be careful, never interact with the skeleton mercenaries The group clashed.”
Xuan Yue smiled and said: "Don't worry, even if there is a conflict, we will not suffer any loss. We are still afraid that they will fail. Come on, brother." With that, he took Ah-Dai's hand and walked towards the woods.
The departure of Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue was all seen in the eyes of Blood Skull and the others. Blood Skeleton said to his sister, "Are they them?"
Ice Skull nodded. For the whole day, she kept thinking about what happened in the morning, but no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't figure out how Ah-Dai controlled her. The taste of failure was very painful for a proud person like her. .
Feng Gu said: "Brother, do you think the person who defeated Bingbing could be the Tiangang Sword Master himself? I remember my master said before that the Tiangang Sword Master only looks like a middle-aged man because of his profound cultivation. Perhaps, he is Are you here to humiliate us?"
The Blood Skeleton shook his head and said: "Probably not. As a Tiangang Sword Master, how could he become a mercenary, let alone have any concerns with juniors like us? . What's more, the master also said that although the Tiangang Sword Master has a young appearance, his beard and hair are white. The boy's hair and eyes are black, and he looks like a young man. He may not be the Tiangang Sword Master himself. A trained master, otherwise, given his age, how could he have such advanced martial arts skills? If he really defeated Bing Bing on his own in the morning, his skill would definitely be close to that of the Sword Master."
Iron Skull snorted coldly and said: "Brother, didn't they go over there alone? Let's go meet him now and they will be able to find out the details. I don't believe it. We can't defeat him with the strength of the four of us. One. It’s been a long time since I’ve used the four-element formation that my master taught us. Even if it takes a hundred moves to break our formation, I won’t be willing to do anything if I don’t get Bingbing’s face back today.” Iron Skull and Wind Skull have always loved Ice Skull very much, but they are brothers and they usually don't get too argumentative. What frustrates them the most is that Ice Skull's attitude towards everyone is the same, lukewarm. They couldn't feel her inner thoughts. Now that he had a chance to show off, he couldn't hold back.
Feng Gu agreed: "Brother, I agree with the third brother. We can't lose the master's face and try their skills while we are still far away from the Tianjin Mountains. We can also help Bingbing get revenge."
The Blood Skeleton frowned, turned to look at his sister, and said, "Bingbing, what do you think?"
The Ice Skeleton said calmly: "I agree. My loss this morning is unclear. But I have indeed lost. Perhaps, only the four-element array can deal with him. Brother, are the four of us still afraid of him? "
Blood Skeleton has always been cautious in doing things. In fact, even if his younger siblings didn't say anything, he would not let Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue go. "How is your kung fu with the handsome young man who defeated you? Did you see it this morning?"
Ice Skull shook his head and said: "He didn't take action this morning. He looked very arrogant. According to Murac, he seemed to be a magician and a priest of the Holy See. Moreover, this evil man He is the leader of the mercenary group, but judging from his name, he seems to be stronger than the person who defeated me, but I don't feel any strong momentum from him. I'm very protective of that handsome young man."
Iron Skull said contemptuously: "Priest? I think the old boy Murac made it up himself, unless he has a brain problem. Besides, with our martial arts skills, are we still afraid of magic? Maybe, what’s the relationship between those two boys?”
The blood skull frowned and said: "Third brother, please keep your mouth clean and don't talk nonsense in front of Bingbing. Since we have to deal with them, we can't be careless. Although ordinary magic is difficult to cause harm to us, advanced magic is still enough to threaten us. Everyone must be careful, we can't lose again." He is also very interested in this evil mercenary group, especially the one who defeated his sister with one move. Moreover, when he was following the Northern Sword Master, he once He heard the Sword Master say how powerful the Tiangang Sword Master was. Now when he met a disciple of the Tiangang Sword Master, how could he be willing to accept it without trying the opponent's skills?
The four skeletons of blood, wind, iron, and ice picked up their weapons one after another. Among them, the blood skeleton was empty-handed. After they handed over to their subordinates the matter of stationing in the camp to protect the caravan, they headed towards the disappearance of Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue. Speeding through the woods.
Mulac saw the four skeletons chasing Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue. Although he was anxious, he did not dare to step forward to stop them. These powerful masters were not something he could offend. He could only pray silently, hoping that nothing would happen to both parties. Otherwise, the caravan's journey to the Yajin tribe may be dangerous this time.
Ah-Dai was pulled into the woods by Xuan Yue. The fresh air in the woods shocked their spirits. Ah-Dai flew up, tapped lightly on the branches, floated in the air, closed his eyes, and felt the breath of nature. He had seen the Tiangang Sword Master completely suspended in the air before, and now he wanted to give it a try. The two-inch golden body in the Dantian exuded strong vitality, wrapping Ah-Dai's whole body like a huge white air ball, staying in the air for a few seconds before slowly falling. .
