Chapter 1608 Black Ax Mercenary Group (Ⅲ)

"As long as the magic tree Ganthias is still alive, these evil activated plants will be inexhaustible, and they will continue to expand to the outskirts of the jungle, destroying all living species."

"In addition, there is another unforgettable feature on Sharman's body, that is, one of his arms was amputated at the wrist for unknown reasons, and a live snake was transplanted as a palm, which looks a bit disgusting."

Speaking of this, Slude couldn't help getting goosebumps all over his body, and the disgust on his face couldn't be concealed.

"'Snake Hand' Sharman has two powerful accomplices beside him, one of which is the orc chieftain 'River' Kurkin who is active in the great jungle of Yalf. This time, Kurkin brought four hundred orc warriors here Go to the barracks and claim to be a mercenary from the Black Ax Mercenary Group."

Slude continues to expose the ins and outs of the "Black Ax Mercenaries".

"Another right-hand man of Sharman is Scala, who runs across the northern part of the 'Hanged Forest'. As long as a living thing enters Scala's field of vision, it will be regarded as prey and eaten alive to relieve the never-satisfying hunger."

"'Snake Hand' Sharman, 'Tearer' Culkin, and the nine-headed troll Scala, together with minions like orc warriors and wither monsters, together form the so-called 'Black Axe Mercenaries' group'."

In the end, Slude concluded: "This group of monsters are all bad, but we have to admit that their combat effectiveness is quite strong. As for whether it is worth the 100,000 Gold Duga commission, it depends on whether they are willing to fight or not." Work hard on the battlefield."

Joan listened silently to Slude's narration, and was very familiar with the "Snake Hand" Sharman, "Tearer" Culkin, and "Nine-Headed Troll" Scala she just mentioned.

Two years ago, on the way to study in the north, Joan met Clark Heinier, a frost giant boxer. Later, at Clark's invitation, he teamed up with the ogre king Shrek and his court poet Cassio to hunt for treasure.

During the trip, he was chased by Sharman and others many times until the final battle of "Castle in the Cloud". Under the threat of "Snow Demon" Wendigo, the two sides had to join forces to fight against this powerful enemy, but they were still defeated by Snow Demon. It's all messed up.

In that battle, Joan remembered that the "Nine-Headed Troll" Scala was frozen to death by the Snow Demon using the "Mythical Ice Cone", and was grabbed and thrown out of the window, falling from a height of ten feet, and disappeared.

Soon afterwards, Joan himself was sucked out of the window by the storm, and finally fell on the snowy mountain. Although he managed to save his life, he also broke his legs.

After that, another year later, Joan participated in a military internship and unexpectedly reunited with Clark in Elk Town, and learned about the follow-up of the Battle of Cloud City from the mouth of the frost giant.

Unfortunately, shortly thereafter, due to the pressure of Winterhold, Joan had to separate from Clark to escape again. Since then, he has not heard from this friend of the frost giant. .

Now hearing Slude mentioning Shaman and others, Joan couldn't help being surprised by their good luck.

Not only Sharman and Culkin successfully escaped from the Snow Demon, but even Scala, who was frozen into a lump of ice by the Snow Demon and fell from the sky, survived. body" troll.

"The three leaders of the 'Black Ax Mercenary Group' give people the impression of villains from their appearance. No wonder people have been discussing in private recently, worrying that Laval recruiting this group of monsters is like forming an alliance with the devil."

"If I were Laval, if I had to deal with a guy with a bad reputation, I would instruct a reliable agent to be in charge of contacting the other party, instead of hiring these weirdos myself, so as not to get my hands dirty..."

Lord Custis sighed, a look of melancholy appeared on his brow.

"You young people probably think that I am too smooth and sophisticated in doing things."

"I'm not going to deny that, but no one is so smooth and sophisticated from the beginning. The reason why I became what I am now is because I made mistakes similar to LaVar when I was young."

"When I was young, I made deals with evil gods more than once. At first, it was to protect what I cherished. Later, I mistaken ambition for ideals. I regarded greed for fame and fortune as the pursuit of a great future. I couldn't control my greed and desire. I got deeper and deeper on the wrong path, and although I was saved by my lord Dimoss later, I was able to avoid becoming an accomplice of the evil god, but the price I paid for this, the sacrificed health and family affection, are already irreparable..."

Sir Custis lowered his head, as if he didn't want everyone to see the remorse in his eyes. After a long silence, he whispered something that deeply disturbed Joan.

"Sir Laval, like me 20 years ago, I hope he will not repeat my tragedy."

Sensing that the atmosphere in the room was somewhat depressed, Lord Custis stopped reminiscing about the past and turned to look at Logan.

"I want to keep Joan to work by my side. Unfortunately, this kid doesn't want to sit in an office. He wants to go to the front line to display his arcane skills. Your regiment has no shortage of army mages. How about asking Joan to help you?"

"Of course you are welcome! Genius mage, if I don't rush for it, I will be snatched away by other troops!" Logan laughed and stretched out his right hand to Joan, "Joan, we will stand side by side again in the future Let's fight!"

"Uncle Logan, please take care of me in the future."

Joan shook Logan's big hand firmly.

Haakon cheered and jumped up, beaming with excitement.

"Great! I was just thinking about how to abduct Brother Joan to our side. Thank you Sir for giving us this great gift!"

Slude curled his lips and looked at Joan with a half-smile.

"Whether you are a doctor of Austrian law or a military mage, even if you become a university professor in the future, you will always be a younger brother in my eyes! I insist on retaining the privilege of rubbing your face at any time, Joan, do you have any objection?"

Qiao An stared at the "Iron Rose" in Shizhu Town in astonishment, tongue-tied, not knowing how to answer properly.

Amidst Haakon's snickering, the fair face of the young mage quickly flushed red, and he stood up awkwardly.

"My lord, Uncle Logan, we have more than 300 interns from Midgard University to serve this time. The team leader is Baron Laval's younger brother Arnold. After deciding on the troops to serve, I have to go to Arnold Just register, it’s convenient to contact me in case of anything, so I’ll take my leave first.”

Lord Custis smiled and waved his hand: "Go, kid, and remember to come and chat with me to relieve boredom in the future."

"Okay, my lord." Joan bowed deeply to the lord, turned and walked out of the barracks.
