Ah-Dai pulled Xuan Yue, pulled her behind him, attracted the murderous intentions of the four skeletons to him, looked at the blood skeleton and said: "Several members of the skeleton mercenary group. Commander, I don’t want to comment on what happened between us before. I think you all know who is right and who is wrong. President Murac just said that what we are facing now are the bandits not far ahead. Instead of fighting among yourself, if you want to take revenge in the future, just come to us. But now, I don’t want any more conflicts, President Mu, you can start making plans. "A-Dai exuded a faint sense of power. , the invisible pressure made the four skeletons tremble in their hearts. The previous scenes in the forest kept flashing in their minds, and the murderous intention in their hearts gradually faded.
Murac tried his best to calm down his mood, forced a smile, and said: "Commanders, everyone should be calmer. The caravan has not been here for a long time. If it were not for the transportation of spices this time, we would not be here." We won't take risks here, but the spices we brought this time are very important to the Chamber of Commerce, so we must not make any mistakes. This is something that the Chamber of Commerce cannot afford to lose. We are not responsible for any changes in the Tianjin Mountains in recent years. It's very clear, but I once heard a friend say that there are more bandits here in the Tianjin Mountains than before, and there are more powerful bandit leaders. Therefore, we must not be careless. The other party has a favorable geographical situation. Leader, what should we do?” Back off, we will set off early tomorrow morning, with heavy cavalry and light cavalry guarding the front and rear ends, and archers in the middle. I will lead the commando team to be ready to react at any time. If the opponent shows up with masters, our commando team will be responsible for cleaning up. "
Mulaci nodded, looked at Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue, and said, "Do you two have any opinions? "
Dumb thought for a while and said: "We don't have any objections, and we are not very familiar with this kind of large-scale operation. My brother is a light magician. His auxiliary magic and recovery magic are very good. He should be the one to support everyone." The best choice. As for me, Captain Blood Skeleton and I will be responsible for cleaning up those enemies that are more difficult to deal with."
When Dui heard that Xuan Yue was a light magician, the four skeletons all thought of Xuan that day. After Yue treated their serious injuries, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became more harmonious. Feng Skull said: "How far can this brother's light magic take care of? Our mercenary group is mainly composed of light cavalry and archers. Easily injured."
Xuan Yue thought for a while and said: "My magic can cover a radius of about one thousand meters, but the recovery spell cannot be used for a long time because the range is too large. It will be weaker, and I can’t do anything about it if it’s too seriously injured or disabled, so you still have to be careful.”
"Ah! A thousand meters in radius?" The four skeletons exclaimed at the same time. Although they didn't know much about magicians, they had never heard of any magician who could control such a large area.
Xuan Yue didn't seem to hear the surprise in the other party's heart, and said: "I haven't tried the control range of one thousand meters, but there should be no problem, but you also know that magic cannot last too long. , the magic power is always limited, so you must clear out the enemies as soon as possible.”
The Blood Skeleton said: “You can rest assured that the members of our Skeleton Mercenary Group are very powerful and have experienced long-term combat. With time and training, unless the opponent's strength is beyond imagination, the enemy will definitely be eliminated in a short time."
Dumb said: "Brother, can't you also release fire magic? If the opponent's attack is too strong, you can also help us attack." He was naturally referring to the energy of Phoenix blood.
Xuan Yue shook her head and said: "Fire magic is too overbearing. One bad move will burn the entire mountain. Brother, you have also seen it. The Tianjin Mountains in the distance are all Lush, do you want me to destroy the environment here? You should try not to use it. If it doesn't work, just ask Shengxie to come out and play. It will definitely be very happy. "When it comes to Shengxie, Xuan. Yue couldn't help but laugh.
Ah-Dai looked at the four members of the Skeleton Mercenary Group and said calmly: "It depends on the situation then, maybe none of our arrangements will have any effect?"
Murac smiled and said: "Yes! With the strength of your two mercenary groups, I think those bandits may not dare to attack us. It would be best if they don't show up. The most important thing is that everything is safe."
Feng Skull suddenly said: "President, I need to trouble you with something. Although the road through the center of Tianjin Mountain Range is wide, thieves usually attack from both sides. Please let the caravan workers Cut down some more trees here and make wooden shields for our heavy cavalry to use. This will be very beneficial to resist attacks from both sides."
Muraci said happily: "That's what Commander Feng thought. Very considerate, okay, let’s do it, I’ll go right away.” After that, he turned around and left the camp. Feng Skull said to everyone: "I'm going to help President Mu arrange the size of the wooden shield." After saying that, he followed out.
Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue also stood up, and the atmosphere in the tent became awkward again. The two sides looked at each other, neither of them willing to speak first. In the end, it was Dumb who broke the silence. He stretched out his hand to the bloody skeleton and said: "Captain, I hope we can cooperate successfully this time and escort the caravan to its destination safely. We will talk about things between us later."
The other party was so generous, so Blood Skeleton naturally couldn't be too stingy. He held Ah-Dai's hand and said, "Okay, let's get over it first. This mission is the most important thing." People's hostility is very strong, but it is undeniable that the other party is indeed powerful. The blood skeleton can't help but secretly admire such an unimaginable ability at such a young age.
"Then let's say goodbye first." After saying that, Ah-Dai nodded to the three skeletons, then turned around and walked out of the camp with Xuan Yue.
Looking at their leaving figures, Blood Skeleton sighed and said: "It seems that the magician is right. Maybe we will never be able to surpass them.".
Iron Skull said: "Yes! If the magician had used all his strength when we started doing it that day, we might not have had the chance to use Heaven and Earth Wuwei. Brother, after this mission is over, I think , we should go back to the master and ask him to give us some advice. Your fire nightmare fighting spirit is almost ready to learn swordsmanship from the master."
The blood skeleton nodded and said seriously: " No matter what happens tomorrow, you must forget your previous personal grudges. You must not affect the reputation of our skeleton mercenary group because of your own personal grudges. Preserving the caravan is the most important thing for us. Everyone started to adjust their breaths, and I suddenly felt a panic. This ominous premonition indicates that the road in the Tianjin Mountains will be very difficult this time, and we must proceed with caution."
Outside Mim City, a white figure flew towards the east. This man was over twenty years old, with an anxious look on his handsome face. He carried a three-foot long sword on his back, and his movement was extremely fast. Babuyi, the youngest judge of light in the Holy See, has been away from the Holy See for some time. He came out a few days later than Xuan Yue and has never found any trace of Xuan Yue. I finally heard that a miracle had occurred in Mim City. I rushed here and asked about it, and got the news from the priest. He knew that Xuan Yue and Ah-Dai had met again, and he couldn't help but feel extremely anxious. If they continued to get along, it would be more difficult for him to chase Xuan Yue. The only thing that made him happy was that Xuan Yue was dressed in men's clothing. Maybe she I haven’t gotten to know that Dumb yet. In order to win the heart of his beloved, after getting the news, he immediately relied on his own judgment to chase east.
Tianjin Peak, the main peak of Tianjin Mountain Range.
Tianjin Peak is about three thousand meters high, surrounded by clouds and mist. It is the highest peak in the entire Tianjin Mountains. The bandit's headquarters is on the top of the peak. The bandits here have a history of decades. The leaders have changed one after another. For their own interests, various forces continue to attack each other and compete for control of the Tianjin Mountains. This situation lasted until three It ended just a year ago. Three years ago, a group of warriors covered in black robes, including their faces, suddenly arrived in the Tianjin Mountains. The number of black-robed warriors who came was not large. There were only about thirty of them. They were all tall and strong men. The bandits did not pay much attention to them after they first entered the mountains. After all, there were not many of them, but there were only these thirty or so people. , it took less than ten days to sweep through all the bandit camps in the Tianjin Mountains. Six of the twenty-seven camps, large and small, were completely wiped out. No chickens or dogs were left. The remaining twenty-one camps surrendered one after another. In the end, almost all the bosses of the camp died at the hands of these men in black. The viciousness of their methods caused deep fear in all the bandits. A total of more than 4,000 bandits were completely controlled by these thirty people. Ever since the bandits in the Tianjin Mountains were unified, all passing merchants have never been able to pass smoothly. Although the bandits' income has greatly increased, most of them have been taken away by those mysterious black warriors.
In the Juyi Hall at the top of Tianjin Peak.
There are more than a hundred bandit leaders from various camps gathered here. The bandits in the Tianjin Mountains are completely controlled by the black warriors through these people. They all looked respectfully at the man in black sitting on the central seat, waiting for his orders.
The voice of the man in black was cold and devoid of any human emotion, and he said lightly: "I think you should be very clear about why I recruited you. Not far down the mountain, a group of fat sheep is about to arrive. It is said that they are from the Stan Emperor Chamber of Commerce Alliance in the Tianjin Empire. The Stan Emperor Chamber of Commerce Alliance has always been famous for its production of precious spices and jewelry. The goods they carry this time must be priceless. This time, we must succeed and not fail, no matter how high the price is. , we must grab this batch of goods. As long as we succeed, I will naturally reward you. Do you have any opinions?"
A thin middle-aged man said: "Chief Village Chief, this caravan may not be so easy to intercept! They hired a skeleton mercenary group. We have dealt with the skeleton mercenary group before. They have very strong strength. , the four skeletons led by blood, wind, iron and ice are very powerful in martial arts. We lost thousands of men that time, which greatly damaged the strength of each village. I think we should think more carefully about this matter. "
The man in black snorted coldly and said: "Skeleton mercenary group? What can a small mercenary group do? I have given up. Every village will start preparing to roll logs and rocks tonight, ready to intercept merchants at any time. Team. Don't worry, with me and my brothers here, the four little skeletons of the Skeleton Mercenary Group are like four ants. I can kill them with just one finger."
Every village. The leaders are still a little hesitant. After all, they have suffered heavy losses from the Skeleton Mercenary Group. Now, they are trembling with fear every day under this "General Village Master". No one wants to let the strength of their men be damaged. The man in black suddenly stood up, and his height reached two meters away. He stretched out his hand, which was also wrapped in black cloth, slapped it heavily on the table, and said angrily: "Hurry up and go. This time, let the caravan If you run away, I will replace all of you, and even your little ones will not be spared. Have you all forgotten my methods?”
The leaders of each village couldn't help but shuddered and took orders one after another.
Watching his men leave, the chief village master’s eyes showed a cold light. Four men in black walked out from the shadows behind him. One of them walked up to the chief village master and said: " Mr. Green King, I have heard about the Skeleton Mercenary Group before. If we fight them head-on, we will suffer huge losses! Why do you want those spices and jewelry? Are they really important to us? ?”
The head of the village sneered: “Of course it is important. According to the news from within the organization, the caravan coming from the Stan Emperor Alliance this time carries goods worth tens of millions of gold coins. We need funds to purchase..., so we must rob this batch of goods, and then sell them to the Yajin tribe through the relationship of the organization. In this way, we can make a lot of money. I think, the leader, he The old man will be very happy. As for the strength of the skeleton mercenary group, I know better than you. Those four skeletons are indeed very powerful. If the bandits here rush up first and serve as cannon fodder, I don't believe that the numerical advantage can't be used against them. The Skeleton Mercenary Group will have an impact. Once they have exhausted the Skeleton Mercenary Group, no one will be able to stop us again."
"Yes, Mr. Green King is wise. I will let the brothers prepare now. The church sent forty green men a few days ago. With our current strength, we should be able to achieve the effect you mentioned. By then, as long as We just have to kill all those weak humans. I haven’t done anything for a long time, and I really want to feel the taste of human blood now." A blood-devouring light flashed through the eyes of the black warrior.
In the early morning, everyone in the caravan got up early to pack their bags. Everyone knew that today would be the most dangerous day of the trip. As long as they could survive today's difficulties safely, the journey ahead would be On the broad road, there will no longer be any obstacles. After a full night's rest, the members of the Skeleton Mercenary Group were in high spirits. Their captains, who had disappeared for a few days, also returned to their posts. For a time, the Skeleton Mercenary Group was full of momentum and full of confidence. Be prepared to meet the enemy's sneak attack.
Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue did not make a carriage today. In order to respond at any time, they rode a tall horse together. Due to the improvement of their skills, Ah-Dai's horse control skills are much more proficient than before. When the Qi is introduced into the dismounted horse, the horse will move forward according to his wishes.
The Blood Skeleton glanced at Dumb and said: "Look, after passing this slope, there is the Tianjin Mountains in front of you. If the bandits intend to rob the caravan, they will usually wait until the caravan goes deep into the mountains before taking action, so be vigilant at all times. The most terrifying thing is the rolling wood and thunder rocks falling from both sides, falling from the mountain hundreds of meters high. The impact is very terrifying."
Xuan Yue suddenly said: "Yesterday you asked Shang. The big wooden shields made by the caravan are just to protect against these.”
After last night’s efforts, almost everyone in the caravan now has a shield. Ordinary workers and mercenaries all carry a small shield. The skeleton mercenaries. Each of the heavy cavalry infantrymen of the regiment is holding a huge shield that is two meters high, one and a half meters wide, and more than fifteen centimeters thick, with a tapered bottom. Even these well-trained warriors cannot hold such a huge shield. The shield is also very difficult to use, but they know that this shield is the best guarantee to protect their lives.
The slope in front was gentle, and the entire caravan gradually walked over, and a towering mountain range appeared in front of everyone. Ah-Dai seemed to feel that he was back in the Tiangang Mountains. Although the mountains in front of us are not as majestic as the Tiangang Mountains, they are still rolling. Various plants grow on the mountains, and the mountains are surrounded by green.
The Blood Skeleton raised his hand, stopped the entire team, and shouted loudly: "Everyone rest where you are." The members of the Skeleton Mercenary Group dispersed one after another, surrounding them with vigilance, Mula Ci got off the carriage, walked to the Blood Skeleton, and whispered: "Captain, we don't need to send people to the mountains to explore the way first."
The Blood Skeleton shook his head and said: " There is no need to explore the route. If the other party has an ambush, our explorers will not be able to come back at all. Instead of losing too many people, it is better to rush over in one go. President Mu, let the caravan's men gather the most valuable trucks in the center. , and those with lower value are placed in the front, rear and periphery. Once bandits appear, your caravan workers should not take action. They will only cause trouble. We have everything. Don’t worry. The road in the mountains is relatively wide, and we will handle it with caution. ”
When he got here, Murac couldn't help but feel a little frightened. He quickly agreed a few times and went there obediently. Seeing the kingly style of the Blood Skeleton commanding Ruoding, Ah-Dai couldn't help but secretly admire him. Although his cultivation was higher than him, he was much worse in other aspects.
The Blood Skeleton flew up and landed on a tall carriage. He looked around at the men of his mercenary group, and a loud voice came out from the Dantian of Qi Luck, "Brothers of the Skeleton Mercenary Group. Everyone, in front of us is the Tianjin Mountains that we have been to before. A few years ago, we were here. Thousands of bandits lost their sinful lives in our hands, but we successfully escorted the caravan to its destination. . Now, we are standing on this land again, not far ahead, there may be thousands of bandits waiting for us, my warriors, are you afraid? "
The Skeleton Mercenary Group? The mercenaries shouted in unison: "Don't be afraid -, wherever the skeleton comes, you will be invincible."
Blood Skull's depression for many days seemed to be expressed at this moment, and he shouted: "Okay, as long as we pass the Tianjin Mountains, our mission will be basically successful. Brothers, let us work together, we are not afraid Bleeding, not afraid of sacrifice, we have the firmest belief, no one can stop our progress, raise the weapons in your hands, our weapons will be stained with the blood of the enemy, only their blood can bear witness to our bravery "
Listening to the words of the blood skeleton, even Dumb felt his blood boiling, not to mention the skeleton mercenaries, who all raised their spears and swords high and shouted loudly.
The Blood Skeleton looked at the high-spirited men with satisfaction. The effect he wanted had been achieved. He raised his hand, and the skeleton mercenaries gradually calmed down. The Blood Skeleton's eyes were full of power. "Okay, now let me rearrange the formation. Two hundred heavy cavalrymen on each side will guard both sides of the caravan. Use your wooden shields to be ready to resist attacks on the mountains. The archery brigade is in the center, as long as there are any enemy targets. If they appear, you must use the steel arrows in your hands to end their lives. Your mission is the most important this time through the mountain. As long as you perform normally, I think we will be able to destroy any enemy who intercepts us. Divide into two parts, with 200 people in each part, separated at the front and rear, ready to help the heavy cavalry and infantry respond at any time. Brothers of the commando team, you still obey my command. Whenever the enemy's main force appears, we will be their wake-up call. After living with me for several years, you also know my character. Anyone who blocks our progress will have only one end, and that is death. Okay, take a rest for twenty minutes from now on and try to restore your strength, and then we will work together in one go. Rushing through the Tianjin Mountains ”
Xuan Yue whispered to Ah-Dai: "Brother, the arrangement of this blood skeleton is quite reasonable. No wonder this skeleton mercenary group can compete with its current status. What should we do?"
Ah-Dai's Voice Transmission Said: "Let's adapt accordingly, brother, I will protect you by your side, and you can use magic to help them as much as possible without harming your own body. I also want to see how powerful your sacred light magic can be." "I hope the bandits are afraid of the skeleton mercenary group and don't show up. I don't want to kill anyone."
Xuan Yue said: "Brother, you can't be too merciful. Killing a bad guy is equivalent to saving countless good people. Which of the robbers here doesn't have a few murders! If you are attacked, you can't do anything. Don't show mercy. In fact, the bandits can't threaten us at all. No matter how strong they are, they can't stop us from joining forces. We can just run away if it doesn't work."
Dumb shook his head and said: "Brother, since we have accepted the task and collected the deposit, we must go all out. You can't have the idea of quitting halfway!"
Twenty minutes The time is coming soon. Each of the mercenaries of the Skeleton Mercenary Group exudes a murderous aura, and their aura has reached its peak.
Under the protection of the mercenary group, the caravan gradually entered the Tianjin Mountains and rounded a small hillside. Ah-Dai saw a road about a hundred meters wide in front of it, leading straight into the depths of the mountains. There were traces of knives and axes on the surrounding mountain walls, and there were obvious signs of manual excavation. Ah-Dai couldn't help but be surprised. Could it be that this road through the Tianjin Mountains was man-made?
The Blood Skeleton rode on his black horse and looked at Dumb's surprised expression, and said calmly: "This Tianjin Mountain Range was indeed dug manually, which cost countless manpower and material resources. The main reason why the Tianjin Empire opened this road in the first place was I just hope that trade with the Yajin tribe can be facilitated. If you don’t go here, you will have to go around to the Yalian tribe. The Yalian tribe is full of grasslands and it will be very difficult for carriages to pass. But who knows that after this road is opened, it will be possible. It helped the bandits in the mountains and made it easier for them to rob."
Xuan Yue closed her eyes and silently recited the spell, and a questing magic was released by her. Since reaching the level of a magister, she has been able to detect everything happening within a three-kilometer radius with this magic. Less than five miles away from the caravan, Xuan Yue suddenly opened her eyes and whispered to the bloody skeleton: " There are three people on each side of the mountain. They should be spies of the bandits. The one on the left is on the big tree growing diagonally on the mountainside. The one on the right is behind the slope not far from the foot of the mountain. "
< br>The Blood Skull was shocked and then overjoyed. He didn't bother to ask Xuan Yue how he did it. He immediately turned around and whispered something to his personal guards. Seven or eight members of the Guards disappeared into the team, and the caravan continued to move forward slowly. After a while, the Guards soldiers came back, with excited expressions on their faces, and gestured to the bloody skeleton.
Blood Skull whispered to Xuan Yue: "The spies have been eliminated, thank you brother." He knew very well that eliminating the opponent's spies was equivalent to stabbing the opponent's eyes out, which was very beneficial to his own people, so he took action again. It's much more convenient.
Under the influence of Xuan Yue's inquiry magic, after the caravan traveled ten miles, a total of seven groups of bandits' spies died at the hands of the Blood Skeleton's personal guards.
While moving forward, Xuan Yue suddenly opened her eyes and said in a deep voice: "Don't leave yet, there is something going on ahead."
Blood Skeleton raised his hand to stop the caravan. The mountain road ahead was much narrower than the road they had passed just now. There were tall mountains on both sides. There was no sound in the woods on the mountains. It was strangely calm. Blood Skeleton looked at Xuan Yue. She said: "Are there any more spies?" Hurry, they should be preparing to ambush our enemies."
The Blood Skeleton snorted and said: "These bandits are so tired of living, they actually dare to intercept us, three thousand people, huh."
Xuan Yue muttered: "Captain Blood Skeleton, in this way, I can force these bandits out. You order your men to prepare to attack." In fact, with Xuan Yue's current magic level, if he attacks the bandits on both sides of the mountain with all his strength, , would definitely bring them huge casualties, but after all, she was from the Holy See, had good intentions, and couldn't bear to kill herself, so she made this proposal.
The Blood Skull was overjoyed. Although he didn’t know much about magic, Xuan Yue’s previous performance had given him full confidence in this young magician. He immediately summoned the Wind Skull and asked him to lead the bow and arrow team. Move to the front of the team, the light cavalry brigade and the heavy cavalry infantry brigade are ready to charge.
Xuan Yue took out the angel's staff, sighed softly, and sang: "Great God of Heaven! Please lend your divine power that fills the world to your loyal believers, and wash it with sacred light. The evil mind spreads the surging holy power into the world, turning it into little stars to destroy the darkness of the world." The angel's staff surged with golden light, and Xuan Yue slowly floated up from the horse's back, hanging at the front of the team. , the surging divine aura filled her delicate body, she slowly closed her eyes and raised the angel staff. The golden light became stronger and stronger, and under the surprised gazes of everyone in the caravan, Xuan Yue's body was already like a small sun, completely enveloped in golden light. Ah-Dai floated below Xuan Yue, with fighting spirit filling his body. He watched the movements around him intently, ready to respond at any time.
The thieves who were ambushing on both sides of the mountain road naturally saw what happened to the caravan. Among them, there were many knowledgeable people. Some of them shouted: "This is light magic, we have been discovered, archers, hurry up, Shoot that magician to death." Although Xuan Yue was still within reach of the rolling wood and lightning stones, she had already entered the attack range of the bandits. For a moment, countless long arrows flew out like a drizzle and shot into the air. Xuan Yue.
How could Ah-Dai let Xuan Yue be harmed? Using the Dou Qi floating body method that he had just learned, he floated in front of Xuan Yue. The light green shield of change completely protected himself and Xuan Yue. The long arrow shot in front of them was unable to penetrate the solid defense. , fell to the ground one after another. The huge shields of the hoplites showed their power. The cone-shaped bottom was deeply inserted into the ground. The caravan members behind it hid under the carriage. The bandits' arrow attacks did not cause any damage to the caravan except for injuring a few horses. .
