The war between the Rexton Empire and the Orc Kingdom had ended long before Abel's training was completed. The only thing that the year-long war had caused was destruction. The entire northern part of the Rexton Empire had suffered an unprecedented blow, and it could be said that it was covered in devastation. The Orc Kingdom, which had invaded on a large scale, had also returned in defeat after suffering heavy losses.
The Helmer Trade Union and the Kingdom of Valencia had also given a lot of financial support to the heroic feat of the Rexton Empire. After all, this was a matter for all humans. Otherwise, if the Rexton Empire opened up a passage for the Orc Kingdom's army to go south, the Kingdom of Valencia, which was famous for its navy, and the Helmer Trade Union, which relied on mercenaries, would definitely not have the strength to resist.
Although the war was over, there were still many things to do. It was easier to destroy than to build. At this moment, Port Patti was filled with large transport ships. The workers were busy loading all kinds of reconstruction materials onto the ships and transporting them to the Rexton Empire.
The entire Port Patti was like a clockwork machine. The lazy atmosphere of life in the past had long disappeared and was replaced by busyness. For Abel, who hadn't been to this city for half a year, he suspected that the heaven was an illusion caused by an illusion.
This kind of busy atmosphere was undoubtedly what the mercenaries liked the most. The large-scale movement of materials and the large profits of the Chamber of Commerce all required the protection of the mercenaries. Those bandits would not tell you about the lofty ideals of worrying about the country and the people. Therefore, the most popular place in the city was the Mercenary Union besides the dock.
"Hello, is there a guard mission to the capital?”With a destination, Winst did not need to look at the mission list.
"Yes... Yes, there were three caravans heading to the capital.”The receptionist checked and replied politely.
"Three caravans. There are only seven people in our mercenary group. Are there any small caravans among them?”
"I'm sorry, they're all large caravans, but you can choose to work with other mercenary groups.”
"Then can you help me explain the situation?”
"Alright, the Flying Snow Mercenary Group has accepted the protection mission from the Clark Merchant Association. Also,"
"Clark Merchant Association? The Flying Snow Mercenary Company received it? Thank you. I'll go look for their Guild Leader now to discuss the cooperation.”Upon hearing the words of the Caragal Merchant Association, Winst hurriedly interrupted her and ran to the lobby to look for the members of the Flying Snow Mercenary Group.
The Flying Snow Mercenary Group was the only mercenary group in the mercenary world that was made up entirely of women. It was also the only mercenary group that was made up entirely of mages. Although there were not many people, they were very powerful. It was said that if someone wanted to marry a member of the Flying Snow Mercenary Group, they had to accept the magic baptism of her good sister. It was fine if they met someone who was autistic, but if they met someone who was very popular, they could only wait to be beaten into a cripple before being treated.
The leader of the Flying Snow Mercenary Group, Rolla, was an intermediate fire sorcerer. He was once the head genius of the Magic Academy and had reached the realm of a sorcerer at a young age. He was also extremely beautiful, but because of his bad temper, he still knew everything.
Luola kept thinking about the man's suggestion. After all, it was almost impossible for two mercenary groups that did not know each other to cooperate well. Although they were all mages, they were absolutely confident that they could end the battle before the enemy got close. The only thing they needed to worry about was that the scale of the caravan was too large and they were afraid that they would not be able to take care of it.
However, even with the addition of Winst and the other seven, they would still be dwarfed by the caravan that they couldn't take care of. However, Luola had heard of the strength and reputation of the Stars Mercenary Group before, so she couldn't decide whether she should join forces with the Stars Mercenary Group to accept the mission or wait for another mercenary group with slightly more people.
Seeing that Lola was still hesitating, Winst had no choice but to tell them about the relationship between the Stars Mercenary Group and the Caragal Merchant Association. When he heard that Abel had an ambiguous relationship with the young lady of the merchant association, the person in charge of the merchant association who had been standing beside Lola immediately made a decision. After a discussion, everyone decided to set off tomorrow.
Ai Bo looked at the members of the Flying Snow Mercenary Group in a daze. All of them were beautiful mages, and their magic robes of different colors were like colorful flags that made people's eyes light up. The others had long heard of the Flying Snow Mercenary Group, so they were not that surprised.
The only one who had a bigger reaction than Abel was Brad. He was dumbfounded as he watched the group of beauties walk past him. The fragrance left in the air hooked his soul out. Brad was like a statue in the fountain in the center of the square. His saliva kept flowing, making people sweat. Was he not afraid of dying of dehydration?
"Albert, let's stay away from him. It's too embarrassing!”Avril dragged Abel away while avoiding Brad's saliva.
"Sigh…" Winst let out a long sigh. He had no choice but to kick Brad away. The Stars Mercenary Group had been completely humiliated by him.
The person in charge of the merchant group greeted the two leaders and led the merchant group to set off. The mercenaries lined up on both sides of the merchant group to protect the safety of the merchant group. Along the way, the busiest person was Brad. He chatted with this person for a while and then ran over there to hook up with him. Other than the hot-tempered Flying Snow Mercenary Company Leader, the others could not avoid his harassment.
With his handsome appearance, magnetic voice, extraordinary conversation, and extensive knowledge, he was like a fish in water among the beauties. If it wasn't for the protection of the caravan, those beauties would have come to talk to him long ago.
Abel looked at Brad curiously. He really couldn't understand. Was it really that interesting to chat with a beautiful woman? As a virgin, he didn't understand Brad's throbbing heart behind the chat. In his opinion, it was a waste of energy. If he had the time, he would rather cultivate.
The Flying Snow Mercenary Group was not a group of nuns. The members were all young and beautiful. Usually, they would be a group of love-struck people. Now that they had a handsome man like Brad, they were very happy. After all, the opposite sex attracted each other. Even if they did nothing, it was better than facing the same sex every day.
Of course, not everyone liked Brad's style. There were always people who liked cool men. In their eyes, those kinds of men had personality. At this moment, Abel, who was walking quietly on the road, became the target of those lovestruck people.
"Isn't it boring to walk alone?" When Abel heard the voice, he turned around in surprise. A beautiful woman in a silver magic robe appeared in his line of sight. Hmm? Silver? A spatial mage? This was the first time he had met a rare space mage, and Abel could not help but carefully examine this beauty.
The beauty had a delicate face, and her soft long hair was tied into a long ponytail. She was full of youth. Of course, if Brad was here, he would definitely be annoyed because he couldn't see the figure under the magic robe.
"Have you seen enough?" Seeing that Aber was staring at her, Salia regretted coming to chat with him. She thought he was a cold man, but he was also a pervert.
"Ugh! I'm sorry, this is my first time seeing a Space Magician, so…" Abel knew that his gaze was inappropriate and hurriedly apologized.
"Oh? Is that why you're looking at me?”After hearing Abel's reason, Salia was a little unhappy. Am I that unattractive?
"Yes, by the way, did you call me for something?”Abel did not expect that someone would have a good impression of him, even if it was just a conversation.
"What? It's nothing." Salia was too embarrassed to say that she had specially come to chat with Abel.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving." Abel ignored Salia and went to look for Avril. It wasn't that there was anything going on between him and Avril. It was just that Avril was the only one in the Stars Mercenary Group who could chat with him.
Winst had to take charge of the situation and didn't have time to play with him. Will and Catherine were the kind of people who were not good with words. Unless Abel had a hobby of talking in the mirror, he would never go and ask for a snub. As for Babasa, other than eating, Abel couldn't find any other topic to talk about with him. Therefore, the people he usually chatted with were Brad and Avril. However, it was obvious that Brad would not pay attention to him now. He could only look for Avril. After all, Avril could play other than eating. Moreover, it was better to chat with a beautiful woman than to play the lute to a cow.
"Avril, I saw a spatial mage just now.”Abel's tone was as if he had discovered a new continent, causing Avril to roll her eyes.
"What's so special about a spatial mage? If you have the ability, find a death mage to show me.”
"Can't you think better of me? Even if I find it, I probably won't be able to come back and tell you.”
"I'm doing this for your own good. You might even be able to learn Necromagic.”
"Don't say that. I don't want to be chased by those lunatics of the Holy Church every day.”
The two of them continued to chat nonsensically, which was the best way to pass the time on a monotonous journey until Winst gave Abel an order that he had never carried out before.
Abel and Salia looked at each other in surprise before turning to the two commanders. "You want me and him (her) to be scouts?”Just from the way they spoke, the two of them definitely had a tacit understanding.
"Is there a problem? Salia is a Space Magician and can teleport over short distances. She has always been an excellent scout. Abel, you should take this opportunity to learn more from her.”
" Salia, be careful." Without waiting for Abel and Salia to retort, the two commanders turned around and left. It made people suspect that there was some secret deal between the two of them.
Mercenaries were also soldiers. Although they didn't have to be as disciplined as the army when carrying out missions, as long as an order was given, they had to complete the mission or die. Salia could only helplessly bring the scout Abel along with her.
Salia was an advanced space magic caster, so short-distance teleportation was not a burden to her. Her method of moving forward was simple. She would teleport in an instant and then stand at the spot where she appeared to observe the situation around her. However, Aber was in trouble. He saw that Salia had suddenly disappeared and reappeared at least a few hundred meters away from him. He could only speed up and chase after her.
After more than ten teleportations, Salia and Abb were already far away from the caravan. The two of them carefully explored the road.
"Salia, why aren't you teleporting?”Abel was surprised to see that Salia was running fast.
"The line of sight from the route just now was good. Even if you were far away, you could still see clearly. From now on, the surrounding terrain is complicated and the trees are lush.”Salia explained patiently to Abel and reminded him to be extra careful from now on. Otherwise, the two of them might die here. Scouting was the most dangerous job.
"Oh, I see." Hearing Salia's words, Abel was a little nervous. He was not afraid of fighting, but it was his first time being a scout. He had no experience at all and it was just his instinct for the unknown.
As the two of them entered the forest, they stopped talking. Their eyes kept searching for any suspicious clues and their ears carefully distinguished the sounds they heard. This was especially true for Aber. The experience of being ambushed had made him particularly hate earth-elemental mages. As long as there was anything wrong with the ground, he would pull it out and stab it violently. Salia broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that Aber had violent tendencies.
After walking for a while, Salia was the first to notice that something was wrong. There was no sound in the huge forest, not even the chirping of birds. He hurriedly stopped Abel, who was raging at the ground, and told him the doubts in his heart.
After listening to Salia's deduction, Abel frowned. He didn't expect that something would really happen this time. If someone dared to attack such a powerful team, it seemed that the other party was not an ordinary bandit. He made a gesture to Salia and the two of them slowly walked into the depths of the forest, not daring to make a single sound along the way.
"Whoosh!" A piercing sound was heard. Aber, who was running, stopped in his tracks and swung Fallen in front of Salia. An arrow hit the blade of the sword and bounced off.
"On that tree!" Following the trajectory of the arrow, Abel noticed the enemy hiding on the tree. If he had run over and climbed up the tree to attack, he would have been shot like a porcupine. Therefore, he shouted to remind Salia to release her magic.
"Sou! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Seeing that the ambush had failed, the other party shot out a barrage of arrows. In a moment of desperation, Aber hugged Salia and fell to the ground, rolling behind a tree.
