There was no competition in the restaurant and I made an agreement with the boss there to tell the plot of Jin Yong's novel. Of course, food and accommodation were also there, but what I got seemed to be equal to consumption. I was at a draw with each entry and exit. I really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. No wonder no one wanted to be a poet. The money was really pitiful.
After talking for nearly seven days, I gradually felt bored. I kept talking about other people's things. When could I let others talk about my own things?
Perhaps I should go somewhere else. It's too peaceful here. There's nothing new about just telling stories.
As he thought about it, he walked towards the Adventurer's Guild.
The moment he entered, he realized that it was filled with people. It seemed that there were many missions recently?
After asking, he found out that there had been many transportation missions recently. They transported people or goods from Soldier City to Whispering Plateau. The reason was that the Duchy of Wenda bypassed the territory of Rome and attacked Soldier City from the border. Soldier City did not belong to anyone. It was just a distribution center, a distribution center that the dwarves relied on. The Duchy of Wenda seemed to want to obtain the monopoly of the dwarves in terms of weapons and armors to help their army arm themselves. That was why they wanted to extend their territory to Soldier City. Now, the dwarves in Soldier City were slowly retreating to their original tribes. However, he did not know if Duke Wenda would also march into the Whispering Plateau.
Therefore, many adventurer teams had accepted the Dwarves 'requests to help them evacuate Soldier City.
I picked a group of mercenaries who were less violent and said,""Excuse me…do you also accept the mission from Soldier City? Can you count me in?"
A person walked out and sized me up.""But you can't tell what profession it is? Can you explain?"
I smiled and said,"I am a poet."”
They widened their eyes and asked,""Poet? I've never heard of any poet in an adventure team. Besides, an adventure team doesn't need people without combat strength!”
I knew that they would have such a reaction, so I said calmly,"I'm not joining you. I just want to follow you. You don't have to pay me anything, right? If there's any danger, you don't have to worry about me."
These people seem to be good people. After discussing for a while, they agreed to me.
This mercenary group was called the Angel Adventurers. There were a total of six people. The captain was called Dean, and he was a swordsman with a blue badge.
The badges were divided into bronze, green, blue, purple, black, red, silver, and gold in order, representing the ability of the class.
He could be considered a mercenary with average strength. After Dean introduced everyone one by one, he followed them to Soldier City according to the mission they had accepted.
At the Marshal's residence.
A butler stood next to a young man who had a solemn and murderous aura."Marshal, there has recently been a new legend in the city that has been passed down by a bard.”
The general looked at the vice commander and said calmly,""Yes, speak."
The butler then told me about the adapted version of Smiling Proud in Jianghu that I told him seven days ago.
Halfway through his sentence, the person who was called Marshal felt that something was wrong. Why did he look like Proud Smiling Pugilistic World? Even Black Wood Cliff came out? Someone must have appeared in his territory! The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He suddenly stood up.
This person was none other than Fang Siyun!
"Where is that person?" he shouted excitedly at the butler beside him. Are you still there?"
The butler didn't know what had happened, so he said carefully,""I don't know if he is still in the city.”After saying that, he called over a few people and said a few words before returning to Dao Siyun's side.
After a while, those people returned. After reporting to the butler, the butler respectfully said to Siyun,""Marshal, he seems to have left Rome yesterday. He should be heading towards Soldier City.”
Si Yun couldn't help but jump up. The vice commander thought in surprise," Although the marshal has also raised the flag unsteadily before, he hasn't lost his composure like this.”
Si Yun couldn't help but be angry that she didn't pay more attention to the people who had just entered the city and actually brushed past them!
After coming back to his senses, he sat down and calmly said to the butler,"Go to the Association of Adventurers and request for a mission. I want the location of the poet, and the commission is a hundred gold coins. If you can bring him to me safely and willingly, I will give you a hundred crystal coins.”
The butler was stunned for a moment. A poet wanted his position for 100 gold? Poets didn't have much combat power, and ten gold coins were already impressive. The poet who brought the safety belt actually asked for a hundred crystal coins. Just who was that poet?
Just as the butler was puzzled, he left the marshal's residence and headed towards the guild.
The vice commander could not help but ask,"General Yun, who is that poet? Is it worth our effort?”
Si Yun smiled bitterly." Milo, this person has been in the city for so long. He should know that I'm here. He knows about me but doesn't come looking for me. I think it's only him. He can't be a simple poet. If it's the person I think of, with his ability, he can break through our Rome City in three hours. Maybe it won't even take a few minutes!”
After a pause, she said helplessly,"If I were to face him, wouldn't I throw away my helmet and abandon my armor?"”
At this moment, Si Yun was thinking about the high-tech cultural relic that Young Dai had left with me. If I used the knowledge on it as power, breaking the city would be something that could be done with a flick of my pinky. If this thing was created, wouldn't it turn the world upside down? A few bombs were enough to make tens of thousands of people suffer.
But even though I have those things, I don't want to use them!
Romi's mouth was wide open, but his eyes were filled with disbelief.
At this moment, a commotion broke out in the Adventurer's Guild. Everyone was discussing what ability this poet had to make the Founding Marshal pay such a high price for the first time. The mission level was even purple. This was too ridiculous. He was just a poet. Could it be that he had three heads and six arms?
At this time, I was still unaware of the situation as I followed the Angel Adventurers to Soldier City.
It had been five days since he left Rome. As he was only going to Soldier City to meet the person who provided him with the mission, he did not encounter any danger. There was nothing to rob! Could it be that he wanted to rob seven men? Even if he wanted to rob her, it would be a female thief, right? If they met. I admit it.
Just as I was complaining about how boring it was for the scenery around me to remain unchanged, a group of people appeared in front of me. There were about forty of them." An army on horseback…" Although there were only a few of them, I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. However, the more I looked at them, the weirder they felt. Why did they seem to be charging at us?
Suddenly, Dean shouted," Everyone, disperse!”
I lowered my head and thought," That doesn't make sense. Aren't mercenaries and soldiers two different things? What happened today?"
While I was thinking hard, I had already dodged the first impact.
I didn't know that Dean and his teammates were looking at me with their mouths wide open, thinking suspiciously,"This…" This was too ridiculous. He had never heard of a poet possessing a speed that was not inferior to an elf. Was this guy really a poet?”
However, Dean still did not understand why these cavalrymen were attacking their team.
Just as the third attack came, I suddenly raised my head and shouted,"I know! They were the army of the Wenda Dukedom. When they knew that the dwarven mercenaries were heading to Soldier City, they planned to kill the mercenaries first so that the dwarves could not retreat to the plateau.”
Dean's body suddenly trembled. He pointed at the other party and cursed,"How can there be such a shameless thing? You shameless cavalrymen are an insult to the spirit of chivalry!”
The other party obviously didn't expect me to say what they were thinking. They couldn't help but ask the cavalrymen to stop and say," You have a good idea, sir. Our general's method is right, but..."
I laughed sinisterly." It's just that you sent out scouts to kill the scattered mercenaries along the way. If others question you later, you can also say that you encountered Roman patrols, right?”That's right, this was the border of Rome. It seemed that Xiao Yun didn't think deeply. Although there seemed to be no need for strategy here, the carelessness wasn't like this!
Hearing my words, everyone's faces turned ashen. Dean and the others turned ashen because this move was ruthless enough. As for the other party's ashen face, I think I was right, right?
Looking at their ashen faces, I continued,"Perhaps you will pretend to be the Roman army and go to Soldier City, and then the other countries will join forces to attack.”
After all, many countries did not attack the dwarves. If they had planned to do so in the beginning, the news that they sent to Rome when the Duchy of Wenda sent troops would have been false. That idiot said that the soldiers were faking it!
However, I forgot that Siyun wasn't familiar with strategic warfare. How could there be such a thing as pretending to be someone or something messy in modern warfare? Besides, he had never fought a war before, right? Even when Siyun and I were colleagues, I was a rice worm in the army.
This time, the other party's face turned green as he hurriedly shouted,"Kill!" Not a single one can be left!"
Dean and the others understood that I was right about their thoughts.
At this moment, Dean gave me an order that I couldn't understand.
"Warriors, follow me to block the enemy. The rest of you, protect the poet and retreat!" Dean shouted.”
I looked at the archer and mage who came to protect me in confusion. The two of them seemed to see my confusion and said seriously,"Now we all know about this, but we don't know if we can get through this. You're a poet, so it's necessary to let everyone know about this. The words of a poet are very convincing. We can't let them tarnish Rome's reputation like this, so we have to bring you out of here no matter what!”
While we were talking, Dean and the others picked a few cavalrymen off their horses, but there were also some injuries on their bodies. However, it was six against forty-three. One look at the situation and one could tell that it would not be easy to fight. Usually, both sides would suffer heavy losses, not to mention that they had to send two cavalrymen to help me retreat.
I resolutely said to the archer,"You guys help Dean kill the enemy. I still have the means to protect myself."”
This time, it was the two of them who were anxious. They hurriedly said to me,"No, Rome will depend on you. If you leave your life behind, Rome won't be able to stop the crusade of the northern countries and the southern countries.”
It seemed that the general of Wenda didn't care much about chivalry. Perhaps the troops lingering here were just an illusion, and the real main force had already arrived at Soldier City.
My guess was right. The current Soldier City was about to enter a siege by the dwarves. The dwarves were facing an army of 20,000 soldiers under the Roman flag!
This time, even I became nervous. I said loudly to Dean,"Dean, listen to my command."
He turned to his teammates and said,"Don't worry about it! Just listen to me." This tone actually emitted an aura that could not be defied.
At this moment, they thought, Is this person really a poet?”guess.
I didn't care what they thought."Dean, you guys spread out at random distances. Pick a horse and dodge when there are more. Don't fight head-on. Mages, attack the horse from behind. Archers, chase after it. The enemy doesn't care about his chivalry, so we don't have to pay attention to him.”
It was against the chivalry to hurt a horse, but he didn't care about it now. Why did the Mage attack the horse instead of the enemy? That mage wasn't that strong, so if he attacked, wouldn't those people dodge or block? That was why it was easier for the archers to attack the horses.
Don't ask me how I know so much. Paquila's books are not fake.
Just like that, I slowly surrounded the cavalrymen within a 40 - 50 meter radius. This way, their charging force shouldn't be that strong. In addition, the horses didn't have any armor and their legs were burned. Even if they didn't die, they would still be in a mess. The horses couldn't be controlled, and the people on them would naturally be shot down by the archers. I wasn't worried that the cavalrymen would escape. They only wanted to kill me now.
Slowly, the number of people on both sides got closer and closer. Although the others were injured, most of them had their own Basic Healing Crystals, so they were not too serious. After all, there was a difference in strength between an army and a mercenary.
What was a Healing Crystal? It was just like a potion. It could be effective, but the ones sold in the shops were all beginner ones. It was understandable for minor injuries, but serious injuries were still powerless.
The other party also realized that he was no match for me and seemed to be planning to return to report. I shouted again,"Everyone attack the horses." Hehe…Without the horses, your lives are still in the hands of the archers.
