Chapter 765, the Mission that Appears in the Secret Realm.
"Strange, this Wheat Town is also close to York City."
"How come there are so many snakemen suddenly?"
On a dirt road.
Seven or eight mercenaries holding weapons walked forward and talked.
They are all mercenaries from York City.
Today, there was suddenly an investigation mission in the city to hire them.
A few people went together.
Although there was no contact before.
But this investigation mission is basically not dangerous.
The reward is not bad.
Plus the distance is not far.
A few people took advantage of their free time to go to Wheat Town for investigation.
The one who just spoke was a bald man holding an iron rod, named John.
He was originally a farmer, and later his lord was defeated, and he found an opportunity to escape and become a mercenary.
He does not have particularly outstanding combat skills.
But he is strong.
He is also the leader among the few.
Because compared with him.
The other few mercenaries are all rookies who have just started.
A few people heard what John said.
Some people said indifferently.
"Who knows."
"But the reward of three silver coins per person is quite generous."
"After completing this task, I can go back to the tavern to talk to the maid."
A boy in chain mail said.
This is a wandering knight.
That is, some small lords have too many sons.
After the lord dies, the eldest son inherits the title.
The rest buy a set of weapons and become wandering knights.
Most wandering knights eventually join the mercenaries.
Because they have been trained since childhood and have mastered good combat skills.
So they live well among the mercenaries.
Also because they have the bad habits of the nobles before.
They spend all the money they earn on women.
This boy named Tad is like this.
He is an old hand in the world of flowers and has good combat skills.
That is why.
In his opinion, there is no danger in this mission.
So he is unusually optimistic.
Just waiting for the mission to be completed and get the money and leave.
But compared to his optimism.
Some mercenaries are very vigilant.
They are a team of mercenaries.
They are assigned to do missions.
Compared to individual mercenaries.
These large mercenary groups are often hired by city lords.
To perform relatively dangerous missions.
At the same time, compared to individual mercenaries, they know more intelligence.
"Don't be careless."
"I heard that the reward this time is much higher than the general investigation mission."
"Because snakemen have appeared near York City recently."
"They often attack surrounding farms."
"The city has sent several waves of knights to investigate."
"All the news has been lost."
"It is rumored that the snakemen who came out this time are from the Dusk Forest."
The young man who spoke was carrying two swords.
While talking about the intelligence, he kept looking around.
"What, the snakemen in Duskwood."
"No, aren't the snakemen there a large tribe?"
"The snakemen tribe is not close to us."
"Compared to us, the snakemen tribe should be closer to Middle-earth."
"If you want to cause trouble, you should go to Middle-earth."
"Why did they travel thousands of miles across mountains and rivers to appear around our York City?"
A mercenary with a longbow on his back said.
"Who knows."
"Maybe our investigation is related to this."
While several people were talking.
Soon they arrived at a farm full of wheat ears.
Outside the farm, there was a wooden sign.
It said Wheat Town.
"That's it."
"Richard, go in and take a look."
"Be careful."
"Maybe we are too late."
"The snakemen have already broken through here."
"Okay."
The boy named Richard was the one with the bow and arrow.
He was agile and quickly shuttled on the small road in Wheat Town.
John, the middle-aged man who was the leader of the group, saw this and sighed. "I was faster than him when I was on the master's farm." "Not anymore, I'm old." John was feeling rather self-pitying. Suddenly, Richard in front of him stopped. Then he raised his hands. Then he looked behind him. This abrupt scene stunned the remaining mercenaries. The novices didn't know what to do for a moment. But John, as an old mercenary, immediately shouted, "Pick up your weapons and get ready to fight!" But the next second, a voice came from behind them.
"You'd better not move!"
The voice was calm and emotionless.
But a knight sword appeared in front of them at this time.
This shining blade was more impactful than anything else.
John swallowed his saliva.
Then he said.
"We are mercenaries from York City."
"We are here just to investigate the snake people, nothing else~"
Before John finished speaking.
A cold snort came from behind.
"Take them away, and lock them up like the villagers."
"Send a message to the guardian knight."
"Seal off the entrances to this town and the surrounding areas."
"Yes, sir."
"What about the snake people?"
"We have also captured many snake people here, what should we do with them?"
"Kill them all!"
"Hang their heads outside the village."
"Tell everyone that this is our territory."
The leading guardian knight waved his hand.
"Yes."
"Wait!"
"Send someone to inform the Lord."
"All the strongholds in the south of Duskwood have been taken down."
"The bordering point is York City in the north of the Kingdom of the Commercial Alliance."
"Including the other three directions, the area around Duskwood has been occupied by us."
"Yes, sir!"
As John and his men were taken away.
The words of the knight just now were still echoing in his mind.
"Take over the south of Duskwood."
"Who are they?"
"What's their purpose?"
"What on earth is the Lord talking about?"
"Oh my God!"
"Don't they know what they are talking about?"
"The Duskwood spans three countries."
"How can they take them all!"
"Even if they take them down."
"This is to face the joint attack of the Kingdom of the Commercial Alliance, the Breton Empire, and the Orre Orc Empire, one of the top ten in Middle-earth."
"Crazy, really crazy!"
Duskwood.
Inside the Serpent Tribe.
"Your Excellency."
"The leader of the Snake Tribe has confessed."
"They are a branch of the Snake Family in the Orei Orc Empire."
"This Dusk Forest was originally a buffer zone between the three countries."
"It was occupied by the Snake People purely because they were greedy."
"Now they think we are the mercenary corps of the Commercial Alliance Kingdom and the Breton Empire."
"Try to bribe us with gold coins."
Inside the tribe.
Christian said quickly.
Fang Yuan nodded slightly.
"I didn't expect that after entering, I went directly into the forest."
"Christian, in the three countries around the Dusk Forest."
"Are there any of the top ten in Middle-earth?"
Christian shook his head.
"The soldiers sent out are still investigating."
"At present, we don't know the specific information."
At this time, Lilith also said.
"The middle period of the sub-god era also spanned tens of thousands of years."
"The terrain changed too much."
"Not to mention the country."
"We have to wait for Aria and the others to send back information for details."
"But Lord."
"Each secret realm will have a mission."
"What is the mission of our secret realm?"
This reminded Fang Yuan.
He opened the Lord's Seal to check.
After a moment, he raised his head.
Said in surprise.
"Help a prince restore his country!"
"It's a gold-level mission!"
"The reward is not bad."
"In addition to various points."
"You can also get a gold-quality mount."
"A mutant goat with demon blood!" (End of this chapter)
