"Captain, look, this is where we found traces of elves yesterday.”A young man in his twenties pointed at some small footprints on the ground. There were also traces of trampling on the grass. Such small footprints would be difficult to recognize if one was not familiar with elven footprints.
"And we found a river not far ahead, so I guess there should be elves in this place.”This young man seemed to be very experienced. Not only could he pay attention to details, but he could also pay attention to the surrounding environment. Then, he could make a deduction based on the combination.
"Yes. Well done, Moore." Munullus called everyone to gather together. His pair of sneaky eyes kept moving, and his hands gestured from time to time. After a while, with an order, everyone dispersed. It seemed that this was not the first time this mercenary group had done this. Every member was experienced. They found a suitable hiding place, hid their aura, and cleaned up the traces they had left behind.
In an instant, everything returned to silence, as if no one had come and nothing had happened. The autumn wind blew gently, and the yellow leaves kept falling in the breeze. It was so comfortable, so peaceful, so quiet, but it did not know that there was danger hidden in this tranquility.
Everyone said that time was the most merciless killer. It could erase everything in the world. No matter how unwilling you were, it would mercilessly take away everything that belonged to you, including your life. As a result, everyone lamented that time passed too quickly. Everyone hoped that time could stop and let themselves stay in the happiest moment forever. However, to the members of the Chaoyang Mercenary Group, time seemed to pass by slowly. They even felt like they could grasp the hand of time. In the long wait, they hoped that time would pass faster, or perhaps they really hoped that the elves would appear sooner.
"Haha, Mary, come quickly. We're almost there.”This laughter was so cheerful and warm. This voice was so charming and sweet.
"Guli, slow down and wait for us.”Another crisp voice broke the silence of the forest.
Then, four tiny bodies and four pairs of white wings appeared. These four figures were dressed in green, adding a beautiful scenery to the forest that had fallen into autumn. These four girls were so beautiful. Their small figures made them look even more petite and cute. Their laughter was so sweet and filled with happiness and warmth. Anyone who met such a girl and heard such laughter would have their killing intent melted away.
They jumped, jumped, laughed, and made a scene, but they didn't realize that in this beautiful and peaceful forest, there was still someone whose killing intent hadn't been melted by them. What was even more unfortunate was that the other end of the killing intent was pointed at them.
Thirty figures with killing intent, led by Munullus, instantly appeared around the four elves and surrounded them. Their jumping sounds broke the tranquility of the forest, their killing intent shattered the peace of the forest, and they also shattered the happy time that belonged to the four elves.
The four elves were stunned for a moment before they reacted. A small bow and arrow appeared in their hands and they shot at these people who had suddenly appeared. The arrow was extremely fast, like a flash of lightning. Then, four miserable screams sounded. Such fast arrows and accurate eyesight. The elves 'bows and arrows lived up to their reputation.
The tragic deaths of the four didn't stop them. Instead, they became more ferocious. They raised their swords and pounced forward. In this narrow space, the use of bows and arrows was greatly limited. They needed more space to prepare for the draw. The elves in the center had no way to retreat. Their only choice was the sky, the sky where they could use their wings.
However, just as they flapped their wings and their feet left the ground, a huge net appeared above their heads. It was a huge net spread by nearly 60 people. No matter where they flew, they would always be met with mesh after mesh. This net seemed to be specially designed to deal with elves. Their instantaneous fireballs and wind blades were completely ineffective. Clearly, this net was not an ordinary net. It had the effect of resisting magic.
The elf also understood that these people were here to deal with her. Not only did they predict that she would fly into the sky after being surrounded, but they also prepared measures to deal with her magic. Looking at the huge net gradually approaching him, and he was powerless to do anything, he thought of the tragic situation in the future and wanted to burn his life magic to commit suicide. Suddenly, eight people and four black crystal chains flew over and quickly wrapped the crystal chains around their bodies. They immediately felt their mana continuously drain until there was not a single bit of mana left. As expected of a mercenary group that specialized in capturing elves. Not only did they have specialized capturing tools, but they also had magic crystal chains that could restrain elves from burning their life magic.
Looking at the black crystal chains tied to their bodies, they felt that their future was bleak. They could not see the slightest hope and future. They were dejected and wept.
After the eight of them tied up the four elves, they let out a long sigh.
"Captain, we actually captured four of them this time. What a great harvest.”
"Not bad. Everyone had worked hard this time. When they returned, everyone would receive an additional reward. Alright, let's hurry up and pack up in case the elven guards find out. It'll be troublesome then.”Munullus also said with a smile. It seemed that he was also very surprised by today's big harvest.
After a while, the Chaoyang Mercenary Group finished packing up. They carried the four tied up fairies and quickly left.
The forest returned to its original tranquility, as if the tragedy of the cruel future that the four cute little lives were about to face had never happened. The Heavenly Dao was heartless. Was it really heartless? The Heavenly Dao was so heartless that it seemed to have feelings. Everything that happened just now was watched by a pair of eyes, a pair of bright eyes that flashed with wisdom.
Naturally, they were overjoyed to capture the sprite, but Fatty, who was guarding the base camp, was extremely anxious and restless. He wasn't worried about his companions who were out hunting elves, but he was worried about his own life. He wasn't bored in the tent alone, but it was too lively in the tent at the moment. The people who came were too enthusiastic for him, but he couldn't endure the enthusiasm.
1`1111
The first to arrive was Marquis Conkins, who brought a group of attendants. Before Fatty could think of an excuse to dismiss this group of people, the attendants half-escorted him to the person in noble attire.
Conkins glanced at him with contempt and asked in a dignified manner,""Is this the Chaoyang Mercenary Group?"
"Yes." Fatty was afraid and replied respectfully.
"Did you see a young man with a huge sword on his back?”
"No, no."
"Really?" His voice suddenly became louder, carrying an obvious hint of intimidation.
"Really…I really don't have any." Fatty was frightened by this, and his hair stood on end. His words were also a little unclear.
"Where's your Guild Leader?"
"I brought my brothers out for a mission.”Fatty cursed in his heart. If our Guild Leader was here, would I be abused like this? Although it was autumn and the temperature was not very high, and the cold wind kept blowing, Fatty was covered in cold sweat at this moment. His fat face kept sweating. He raised his right hand and wiped his sweat with his sleeve. The moment he covered his sleeves, he glanced at the person who asked the question, worried that he would ask another difficult question.
Just as Fatty was worried and anxious, the curtain of the tent was pulled up again. Another man in noble clothes walked in with a group of attendants. The two nobles were stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly. Neither of them made a sound. The noble who came in later was Marquis Beenley. He scanned the entire tent, picked a seat, and sat down.
The tent immediately fell silent. No one made a sound. Only the breathing of everyone and the rustling of the wind outside the tent could be heard. Fatty couldn't understand what was going on today. He was lucky enough to see two nobles who he couldn't usually beg for. Or was he unlucky? Was his life in the hands of these nobles today?
The quiet atmosphere made Fatty very uneasy, but he did not dare to speak. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would not get any reward, but a white knife placed on his neck.
After a while, the curtain was lifted again. This time, it was not a noble dressed in noble clothes with a group of followers, but a man covered in a black robe with strange patterns. This man was naturally Coles. At this moment, the two nobles who had their eyes closed opened their eyes and saw him. After pondering for a while, they revealed relieved and happy expressions. From their looks, they did not feel disgusted by the arrival of this man in black. Instead, they felt comforted, as if this man's arrival had proved that some of their guesses were correct.
Before Coles could sit down, the curtain was lifted. This time, a group of women came in. The woman in the lead looked at the people present and moved her lips slightly." I didn't expect to be the slowest!”The gentle voice of this woman echoed in the quiet tent.
This voice broke the silence and diluted the tense atmosphere. The atmosphere became lively. Fatty secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He really wanted to kneel at the feet of that noble woman and kowtow to her to thank her. If this continued, he doubted if his heart could take it. He might die of shock at any moment.
"Marquis Mengsi isn't late!" Conkins replied with a smile.
"I was still worried about whether I was late on the way! Everyone was here as guests. Why was the host standing here while the guests were sitting?”Marquis Mengsi was very enthusiastic towards Fatty.
Thus, Fatty sat down. However, the feeling of sitting down was not good. He only had one wish, and that was for the regiment commander to return as soon as possible so that he could escape this bitter sea of suffering. He even suspected that he had suddenly lost more than ten pounds.
Messy footsteps could be heard from outside, and there were all kinds of idle chatter. Fatty seemed to have met his savior. He rushed out reflexively and cried out,"Leader, Leader." His speed was so fast that it made people dumbfounded. They didn't know how his fat body could be so fast at this time.
Before Munullus could ask Fatty what was going on, he saw a large group of people walking out of his tent. After they came out, they stared straight in his direction. Their eyes seemed to be the joy, excitement, and relief of a magical beast that had finally found its prey after waiting for several days. However, Munulus felt that they weren't paying attention to him. He turned around and saw a young man not far behind him. He was carrying a huge sword that was as tall as him.
His pupils constricted. One had to know that when others entered his sensing area, he could sense the aura of the person who came. Unless that person could completely hide his aura and was not affected by his aura, causing his senses to fail, such a person was either a person with a higher level of strength than him or an expert who was good at hiding his aura. The fact that this youth was able to do even one of those things had already shocked him greatly. At the same time, he also recalled how he had rejected someone who had sent him a challenge yesterday.
"Should we fight or not?" The youth's tone was cold and his words were short and straightforward.
"Why do you have to force me?”Munulus did not want to fight. He had just captured four elves today, and that was a huge sum of money. He did not want to risk his life without enjoying a lot of gold coins. Compared to his own life, dignity was nothing.
"Ding!" With a crisp sound, the crystal chain on an elf's body instantly broke. A greatsword had appeared in the youth's hand. The elf looked at everything suspiciously. She looked at the broken crystal chain binding her and felt the lost magic gradually return to her body. However, the elf did not leave. She looked at the young man with a huge sword in her eyes. She knew that he was the one who broke the crystal chain, and she also hoped that he could save her companion.
"What do you mean?" Munulith was furious. If this continued, all his hard work and effort to capture the elves would be in vain. Those elves were his countless gold coins, so he was very angry. His pair of sneaky eyes stopped moving and stared straight at the youth.
"Ten moves! Either you die, or my life is up to you.”
"What an arrogant tone. Since you're forcing me to fight, then I won't show any mercy.”
"That's right, I'm forcing you to fight!"
