Chapter 69 Tracker
The cold wind roared through the empty plains. In this late winter afternoon, there were not many pedestrians on the road to the distance. Only a small convoy passed by, and the bells hanging on the carriage made a crisp and pleasant sound, which spread far away.
On a hill not far away, several black armored warriors rode on the horned horse and stared at the distant back of the convoy.
In the middle of the warriors, a young lion nobleman looked ferocious, holding the reins and his hands protruded with white knuckles because they were too hard.
"It's them! I want you to kill them all and leave the women in the car. I will kill her in front of that guy and let his soul waily in hell forever!"
The sinister curse squeezed out of the teeth of the young aristocrat, with a deep hatred, which made people shudder to hear.
A black armored warrior next togrinned and showed his teeth dyed green: "Master Wald, that's the wizard's ability, but we can fulfill your wish, as long as you pay enough money."
He spit out the residue of the chewing in his mouth to the ground, licked his lips and said, "If you can't take out the money after that... Uh-huh, you know the consequences."
Green gelatin fruit is the favorite of orc mercenaries. This pickled fruit is sweet and sour and very chewy. It can be used to clean teeth, and residues can be used as a hemostasis when necessary.
"Don't worry, I'm ready for the reward, and I'm sure there are a lot of gold coins!" The young nobleman said gloomily.
If possible, he doesn't want to deal with these fallen, dirty, greedy and cruel dark mercenaries, but driven by hatred, Wald now doesn't mind selling his soul to the devil, as long as he can kill Leon and others.
Hansel's sudden fall made the fate of the young lion nobleman fall from heaven to hell. He was driven out of his home by the wolf-like temple knight. Although the title was still there, it was not as good as the homeless dog.
Those friends in the past drew a line with Wald at the first time, and some people even immediately came to ask for the old debt of a few years ago. If Pastin hadn't appeared, I'm afraid he would have been worse than a beggar on the street now.
But Wald didn't think Pastin was a real friend. After this big change, he really saw through it.
This seemingly righteous guy is actually just to avoid being talked about. You should know that the root cause of Wald and Leon's resentment is that he came up to find trouble in the forest goblin bar for Pastin.
Wold did not dare to blame Pastin. He knew that the other party could let him die as long as he moved his fingers. He put all his hatred on Leon's head.
The ordeal can always make people mature quickly. With hatred, Wald asked Pastin for a sum of money, plus some of his savings, and contacted a dark mercenary through the underground forces of Tomond City.
After getting the news, I followed it all the way, and now I finally caught up.
He wants to kill all Leon and others to avenge his uncle!
The mercenaries of the Bemon Orcs are brave and warlike and enjoy a high reputation on the glorious continent. Decades ago, they galloped around the mainland to fight, but later they had to retreat to the north with the deterioration of their relations with the human race.
Due to the sharp contraction of business, many mercenaries who did not want to join the army had to abandon their previous beliefs and start a shady dark business.
The mercenary team hired by Wald is famous among the underground forces in Tomund City. Captain Eck, the black armored warrior beside him, is a second-class soul armored warrior, and he also has three first-class soul nuclear warriors and more than a dozen barbarian warriors.
With strong force, rich experience and absolute numerical advantage, it should not be a problem to win Leon's small team of only six people.
"Two first-class warriors, one third-class mage, tweep! Wald, do you guarantee that your information is accurate? The mercenary captain smercit his mouth and asked.
Dark mercenaries are happy and cruel when they see money, but this does not mean that they have no brains. The reckless and arrogant characters can never survive in this industry.
Wald's employment task was too urgent. Eck did not have a detailed understanding of the target, but learned the relevant information from him, which did not guarantee the exact surname.
Of course, Eck has the confidence to win if he dares to take over this task. It is purely a habit to ask one more question.
"If you are afraid, you can give up now." Wald said coldly.
Eck laughed. He was not angry, because the customers who paid for it were always uncles: "Well, when they enter the mountains, we will do it. I will bring that girl to you!"
"When you attack, I will watch in the back..." Wald said hatefully, like a wolf with his legs broken: "Look at howling and struggling!"
"What you want, dear young master!" Eck whistled frivolously and whispered, "Guys, let's go!"
In the blink of an eye, several riders disappeared on the hill.
Almost at the same time, Leon, who was walking in front of the convoy, suddenly turned his head and looked back, looking solemn.
"Do you feel it too?" Aklan, who rode forward with him, came over and smiled and said, "We have been followed. The other party has at least 20 riders, and our strength is not weak."
"Their tracking skills are good, but on this plain, my insight is the largest. We have a lot of trouble this time. It seems that someone doesn't want you to live back to the whistling forest."
Leon turned around and flashed his eyes. He looked at the undulating mountains in the distance and said in a low voice, "Well, they should want to wait until we enter the mountain."
The road in the mountains is rugged and difficult to walk. Once attacked by the enemy, it must be much more dangerous than on the plains.
As for who the enemy is, Leon can also figure it out with his toes - there are only a few enemies in Tomond City.
"What should we do? Why don't you go back to Tomond City first? I miss the forest goblin bar," the mage said regretfully, "If it takes a little more time, I should be able to take that spicy sheep girl!"
The soaring strength made Aklan confident and did not pay too much attention to the malicious trackers. Of course, as a mage, he did not want to fight with enemies with unknown strength on the mountain road.
All mages are vulnerable before they reach the fifth level to master the magic shield.
"Trouble is coming, escape is not my style!" A fierce light flashed in Leon's eyes: "It's getting dark. Let's camp there."
The place where Leon chose to camp is a low hill not far from the mountain road. The view is extremely wide, and there is also an unfrozen river nearby. Although it is a midwinter, the grassland on both sides of the river bank is still green.
Put the two carriages left and right to the best protective barrier, set up a few tents to light a bonfire, and a small temporary camp was quickly completed.
"We'll wait here and go anywhere!" Leon sneered and pulled out a crossbow from the carriage: "Wait for them to come!"
It is located on the edge of the Twilight Mountains, and there are no towns nearby. It takes nearly two days to return to Tomund City. The other party is tracking them all the way. Obviously, they are looking for the best opportunity to attack, and they are going to annihetize Leon and others.
From this point, Leon can see that the strength of the other party is not overwhelming, otherwise a four- and five-level beast soul warrior directly is enough to easily slaughter all of them.
It is definitely a very bad choice to enter the mountain now. How can Leon let the other party get what he wants? His side has sufficient supplies and good weapons. The biggest disadvantage is that the number of people is too small, which is only conducive to defensive warfare.
If he understands the enemy's intention, then Leon will occupy a favorable position and wait for them to come up. If he can't lead the other party to take the initiative to attack, he will not hesitate to return to Tomond City.
At most, go back to Tormond City to hire a mercenary. It doesn't matter if you waste a few days. The safety of the party is the most important thing.
And if the other party really dares to come, he will also take this opportunity to practice the combat skills and soul skills he has just mastered.
Just use them as your own grindstone!
Leon stared at the wilderness gradually swallowed up by the night, and his dark eyes flashed with a breathtaking cold light.
The long winter night is spent in peace.
The bonfire in the temporary camp did not go out all night, and the trackers did not launch a raid under the cover of the night. They were still waiting for the best opportunity.
But this opportunity may never appear. The next day, the convoy did not go all morning, but continued to stay in the temporary camp, with no sign of leaving.
This makes the trackers unable to understand.
"What's going on?" Wald asked with blood-red eyes.
The enemy was not far away. He didn't sleep all night and only thought about how to break Leon's body, but Leon and others were late, which made Wald, who was hiding in the woods more anxious.
Eck looked at the sky and hesitated and said, "I don't know what may have happened to them. Let's wait."
"Wait? When will it be comfortable to stay here?
If he was not afraid of the opponent's strength, Wald would almost poke his finger in the face: "They only have six people who can fight. There are twenty of you. You are still a second-class soul armored warrior. I really don't know what you are afraid of. You should have done it last night!"
With Eck's depth, he was also angered by Wald's almost humiliating words: "You know nothing! Look at the location of their camp. We will be found no matter which direction we attack.
"Their mage can attack from a long distance. If there is a crossbow, it will be more dangerous. In order to earn you less than a thousand gold coins, how many brothers do I have?"
If it hadn't been for the credibility of others in this industry, Eck really wanted to slap Wald in the face.
