Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 121 Mercenaries

puff!

In the dense forest, a sharp arrow suddenly pierced through the air, like lightning sweeping across the air, instantly piercing through the kobold who was fleeing in panic in the distance.

The ragged kobold looked in disbelief at the bloody arrow protruding from his chest, and finally fell to the ground with a plop.

"Damn it, it's all over the place."

There was a rustling sound not far away, but I saw two figures approaching from not far away, stretching out their hands to pull out the arrow sticks stuck upside down on the kobold's back.

"Come on, it's settled now. If there were more orcs passing through the Scarlet Border a few days ago."

The sun shone through the tight gap, and the two figures appeared under the light. Hao Ran was actually two human beings!
The two men were wearing worn-out leather armor, which was covered with dust. They looked like they had traveled for a long time. One of them was taller and thinner with a bow and arrow in his hand, and the other was stronger with a battle axe. With a fierce look on his face, he looked like a mercenary.

"There should be no orcs. This place is already very deep, and the traces of orcs are much sparser."

Among them, the tall and thin man with a bow and arrow looked around and said uncertainly.

"We have already patrolled twice, and it should be gone. This is not a border, and it is impossible to gather so many orcs like the border."

"It's really troublesome. If it wasn't for the sake of gold coins, the ghost would accept this kind of task."

"Haha, that's alright. Didn't Master Edward say that he's almost here? It's estimated that the outer door will leave this ghostly place soon. How about inviting you to the tavern to have fun after you leave this place?"

While talking, the two of them turned around to guard their surroundings, and slowly returned to a secret cave.

Inside the cave, a young man with blond hair and a handsome face was sitting by the campfire, browsing some dilapidated notes by the faint light of the fire.

The name of this person is Edward, he is a distinguished knight, but his identity is extremely mysterious, but according to the guesses of these mercenaries around, this person is likely to be born in the noble class, because it is absolutely impossible for ordinary knights to wear expensive magic armor casually , and it is impossible to casually take out such a large sum of gold coins to hire them, the best mercenaries in the border area.

In the later journey, his conversation was witty and he was well-informed, which further confirmed this point to the mercenaries, so the mercenaries respectfully called him Master Edward.

The reason why their group of people are here is precisely because of the entrustment a month ago to protect him from entering the depths of the Kava Forest, as if looking for a relic or something.

Ordinary mercenaries don't know much about the specific information, but to make this guy who calls himself Edward pay such a large price, and risk such a risk to sneak into the depths of the Kava Forest, it seems that it is not a simple matter. up.

"Edward, what's going on?"

At this time, a tall, bald middle-aged man came in from outside the cave, with a pair of sharp eyes hidden under thick eyebrows, and asked in a calm voice.

Varen, the captain of the famous black bear mercenary team in Scarlet Border City, compared with ordinary players, Varen has a deeper friendship with Edward, and it is for this reason that Edward went deep into the Kava Forest this time to contact Varen Hope it helps protect it.

Although the team members didn't know it very well, everyone knew that Captain Varen had a deep personal relationship with Edward, which is why Varen generally called Edward by his name directly, instead of addressing him as Master Edward like other people.

"According to the notes of the great mage, we should be almost at our destination now, brother Varun, if I can really find that place this time, I owe you a big favor."

Edward looked at Varen in front of him and said seriously.

I saw Warren's burly body leaning over and patted him on the shoulder:

"Is there any debt between the two of us? If it weren't for you that time, I'm afraid I would have died in the deserted wilderness and been taken away by wild dogs. Besides, you paid a lot of money for this trip. Normal employment only."

"In any case, thank you all. If I can really find what the great mage left behind, it will be very important to my future path."

"Don't be too happy. Although you are about to reach the destination according to what you said, it is not a safe place around here."

The burly bald man Varun then poured a bucket of cold water on Edward, reminding him solemnly.

"what happened?"

Sensing the seriousness in the tone of the mercenary team Zhang Hualun, Edward asked quickly.

"Nearby, there is a very powerful tribe wandering, and their master is a blue dragon."

Every time they get close to a place, their group will always catch some orc tongues and ask for information about nearby forces or dangerous areas, so as to avoid those difficult dangers and preserve the strength of the team.

"An adult dragon? This will be troublesome. I hope the destination is not too close."

Hearing this, Edward frowned slightly, and said in a low voice after deliberation.

Many wild orcs like Toby to be under the command of some powerful creatures, among which the adult dragon is one of them, and if a family tribe is strong, it means that the dragon as the head of the family is also very powerful.

As for the grown-up giant dragons, their strength is above that of legends.

Although the strength of their mercenary squad is good, if they face Legend, there is no possibility of survival.

"No, it's not an adult dragon. It's said that it's just a young blue dragon, which won't be more than ten years old. However, the number of family members gathered under his command has exceeded [-] orcs, and there are also a large number of orcs. Extraordinary, very powerful."

Seeing Edward's reaction, Varen knew that his thoughts had gone wrong, so he explained aloud.

"Blue young dragon?"

This obviously surprised Edward, with a look of surprise on his face.

A blue young dragon, or a blue young dragon not more than ten years old, can actually gather a large tribe of more than two thousand and five hundred people?
Leaving aside the fact that the giant dragon clan basically slept and grew up in their parents' lair until they were ten years old, how did such a young dragon gather such a large force?
You must know that even if many giant dragons are adults, there are only a few dragon-veined orcs and two or three thousand ordinary orcs under their families!

For some reason, Edward had a feeling that the dragon might become the biggest obstacle to his trip.

"That's right, it's a young blue dragon, and the faction under his command is also the most powerful overlord in this area."

Thinking of the information he got from those orcs before, the mercenary captain Varen couldn't help but frown. Even with their knowledge of traveling all over the world, they were also puzzled by this.

　During the Chinese New Year, relatives from all walks of life took turns to play. These days, I can only open the code after the early morning every day. It will be fine in two days, and the normal update will resume at that time.
