The Alliance mercenary group reacted very quickly. The elf drew her bow and shot an arrow at the master swordsman. The mage pointed his staff and a pile of fireballs flew towards them. The swordsmen and orcs also rushed over. However, I reacted the fastest.
With a slight shift in my footwork, I had already dodged the swordsman's battle energy attack. My entire body crashed into his chest. He reacted quickly and immediately slashed back with his long sword. His body also immediately retreated. Unfortunately, my speed was much faster than his. In an instant, a dazzling blue light flashed. My elbow, shoulder, and back collided with his body at the same time, sending him flying back. He happened to meet the elf's arrow and was pierced through the heart. My body had already turned around, using my palm, fist, finger, or elbow to send the few people who were charging at me flying back. However, each of them faced the attacks of the alliance mercenary group. Although I didn't injure them severely, the previous round of attacks had exhausted their protective battle energy to the minimum. As a result, they were unable to dodge and were heavily hit by the mercenaries. Naturally, they couldn't be more dead.
The mercenaries couldn't help but be surprised to see that I had killed the elites of the bandit group so easily. They looked at me strangely. I smiled faintly and slowly walked over."Let me introduce myself. My name is Long Gutian, you can call me Little Tian.”
" Uh, Anthony, the heavy swordsman," the swordsman answered succinctly and pointed at the others."Linny, an elven archer, Alpha, a light and fire dual-element mage. As for these two, you can call them whatever you want!”
"Roar, I am Hu Meng from the tiger clan, you rude fellow!”The first half of the Tigerman's sentence was directed at me, but the second half was directed at Swordsman Anthony.
"Moo, I'm the Tauren Sith. I want to fight you.”What a headache. He was actually a battle maniac. Right now, I had no interest in fighting opponents that were much weaker than me.
"Thank you for your help. Otherwise, we would have been in a lot of trouble if they had kidnapped the elves.”"I wonder if I may be so bold as to ask, but the bird on your shoulder…" The Archmage said.
I smiled faintly and said,"Just as you think, I have to say that I am very lucky."”I knew that he had already recognized Xiao Yu, but it wasn't strange. His magic power had already reached the level of a Warlock Saint, and he was also of the light element, so it wasn't strange for him to know a little about the Holy Light Beast.
He looked at Xiao Yu enviously and nodded without saying anything else. Elf Linny walked over and asked,""Long Gutian, the Great Swordsman who once appeared at the shore of Kallenga Sea, killed a magical beast of the ninth rank and a magical beast of the eighth rank, severely injured two magical beasts of the eighth rank, and lured away the holy beast?”
I almost fainted. I didn't expect that there would be someone who knew so much about what I did a few days ago in a place that was nearly a thousand miles away from that small city. I could only say gloomily,"I didn't expect someone to know so much about what I do, but I'm only a swordmaster.”What I didn't know was that the valley where I killed the bandits had already been discovered by the scouts of Kalenga and reported to Duke William. Although Duke William had roughly guessed that I was the one who did it, he still hid the information and only said that the Duchy's army had attacked the bandits. Otherwise, the information about me would have been much more detailed.
"Our mercenary group has the most complete and fastest intelligence system in the entire continent. How could we not know about something as sensational as yours?"”Before I could answer, she had already led a few female elves into the large tent that imprisoned the elves.
Anthony led a few people into another tent. I thought about it and decided to go in with them. If they could handle the situation well, I could ask them to take care of the kidnapped girls. Even if it was Felia, if she wanted to, I could ask them to send her back to Kalenga. Perhaps it's because there are many elves, but I'm very confident in them. Legend had it that elves were pure and kind. If an elf had an evil heart, they would degenerate into a Dark Elf. It was easy to tell from their skin color and hair color.
When I entered the tent, I found that Felia was holding Alice's hand and squatting on the ground to tell the little girls a story. Looking at her red eyes, I knew that she had been crying for quite some time. Alice had already woken up. Her dirty little face had been wiped clean. She had golden hair like Felia, and there were still crystal tears in her dark blue eyes. She looked very charming.
When they heard someone walk in, the children turned their heads and looked at us worriedly. Felia pulled Alice to her feet and walked towards me. She asked carefully,""What should we do with these children? Can you take them with you? I don't want them to be sold as slaves.”
"Don't worry!" I smiled. The slave traders were dead, and they were free.”
Anthony also said," Madam Long, don't worry. I'm the captain of the swordsmen team of the Alliance Mercenary Group. We'll take care of them well. If they have relatives, we'll send them home. If they don't, we'll let them live in our territory. Our mercenary group will be responsible for raising them!”
When she heard Anthony call her Mrs. Long, her face couldn't help but turn red. However, she surprisingly didn't explain. I stared at her in surprise, only to see her head constantly drooping. Her face was as red as fire, making my heart burn. She obviously knew some things about the Alliance Mercenary Group, so after knowing that Anthony was a member of the Alliance Mercenary Group, she immediately stopped worrying about the children. Little Alice looked at her mother's flushed face playfully and made funny faces at me. I winked at her and chuckled.
After that, things became much simpler. When the elves appeared, the children's attention was immediately attracted to them. It was obviously not the first time the elves had dealt with such a situation, so everything seemed to be in order. Very soon, the Alliance Mercenary Group had already cleaned up the battlefield. They insisted on inviting me to their camp. I also wanted to know more about them, so I didn't reject them.
On the way, Felia finally had time to introduce Alice and me. "Alice, this is Uncle Long. It was Uncle Long who saved Mom and came specially to save you. You have to thank him properly.”
"Hello, Uncle Long! Thank you, Uncle Long." Alice obediently bowed to me and turned to Felia.""But he looks so young. He doesn't look like my uncle at all! At most, he's like my brother. Can I call him Brother Long in the future?”
" No!" Feliya said angrily." Uncle is uncle. How can you call him brother?"”
"Alice, you can call me whatever you want. But, Alice, your mother is so young. Do you have to call her big sister?"”
"But she's my mother!" Alice said. Of course, he couldn't call her sister. But you look a little older than me, so of course I can't call you uncle.”
I looked at myself helplessly. Indeed, I look like I'm only seventeen or eighteen years old now. Speaking of which, it seems that ever since I broke through to the Xiantian realm, I've been getting younger and younger. When I was in the Dragon Division, I definitely looked much more mature than now. I didn't expect Xiantian qi to have such an effect. Unfortunately, this is not a good thing for me. "Alice, tell me, how have you been these past few days?”
Thinking of the grievances she had suffered these past few days, Alice cried and said,""Those bad guys, they are so hateful. Not only did they not let us eat, but they also locked us up. We can't even go to the toilet. They even threaten us with whips from time to time. They're really vicious…"
" Alright, alright," Felia quickly comforted." It's all in the past. Alice will never see those annoying people again."”
Not to mention the few of us chatting in the carriage, Anthony and the other five were talking about me. Linny was the first to speak."What do you think of him?" Anthony shook his head." He's very strong. I'm no match for him!"”"His strength is completely unfathomable!"”The two orcs were indifferent and did not answer. "What do you think about inviting him to join our mercenary group?"”The four of them nodded. Anthony said,""That's a good idea. We'll go in a while.”
The camp of the Alliance Mercenary Group was not far away, but there was a forest in the middle, so the slave traders could not find the camp at all. The camp was very simple and crude. It was obviously built temporarily. However, there were a large number of carriages prepared in the camp. They were probably prepared to transport the captured elves and children.
While the members of the mercenary group were busy settling the children, I brought Felia and Alice, who had already fallen asleep, into the tent that the mercenary group had arranged for them. It's time to solve some problems. I really want to know what her plans are for the future. All this while, I had the intention of helping her find her daughter and then leaving on my own, so I didn't ask much about her. However, from her expression just now, it was obvious that she had great feelings for me. I'll have to think about it again.
Felia seemed to have thought of something as well, so she lowered her head and didn't say a word as soon as she entered the tent. I thought about it and asked,"Sister Ya, do you have any plans for the future?"”Felia shook her head but didn't say anything.
"Do you have any relatives?" I asked again. I can send you back to your family.”She shook her head vigorously.
I scratched my head in distress.
"Can't you bring us along? Why must you send us away? Do you find us troublesome?" Felia complained.
I was stunned and said helplessly,"Of course not. It's just that I don't have any purpose at all now. I just want to walk around. I'm afraid that you won't be able to stand such a life.”
Feliya chuckled and said softly,""It won't!" I could hear the determination in her voice. My heart trembled and I couldn't say anything for a moment. After a while, he said,"Alright!" I'll go find a carriage and we'll leave tomorrow. I'm going to the capital of the Austrid Empire, Austrid. You should rest early!”
"Heavens! You, you should rest early too!" The change in the way she addressed me highlighted the change in her attitude towards me. Her surprised and concerned tone also expressed her deep affection.
I turned around and gave Felia a deep look before nodding heavily. I strode out of the tent, only to find Swordsman Anthony, Elf Linny, and Magician Alfa waiting outside. "We want to talk to you," Anthony said when he saw me.”
I nodded and followed them to the largest tent. It was obviously set up as a meeting room. There was a long round table in the spacious tent, and several wooden chairs were placed on the side of the table. A magic lamp on the top lit up the inside as if it was daytime.
I randomly found a chair and sat down."Tell me! What do you want to talk to me about?"
"We want to invite you to join the alliance mercenary group. What do you think?”Adoni said directly.
I smiled and said,"It is indeed like this!" However, you should know that when I joined the mercenary group, I had already rejected many invitations from the mercenary group. So, what right do you have to let me join you?”
"Because you are a man of justice. I knew you would be interested in our mercenary group's mission just by looking at how you destroyed the bandit group in Duke William's territory!”Elf Linny said with certainty.
I smiled bitterly and wondered if I was too careless. I had only been in the human continent for a few days, but the things I had done were already known by others. If this continued, by the time I arrived at Austin, I was afraid that everyone would have already known. This kind of life was really not suitable for me, who had been a special agent!
"Why do you think I was the one who wiped out the bandit gang?”I naturally wanted to know how I had given myself away.
