Chapter 69 Tracker
Chapter 69 Tracker
The cold wind whistled past the empty plains. On this deep winter afternoon, there were not many pedestrians on the road leading to the distance. Only a small convoy drove by. The bells hanging on the carriage made a crisp and pleasant sound, spreading to a very distant place.
On a hill not far away, several black-armored warriors rode on the rickshaw horse, staring at the back of the convoy's departure.
Among the warriors, a young lion nobleman looked ferocious, and his hands holding the reins were protruding and his white knuckles because they tried too hard.
"It's them! I want you to kill them all, keep the women in the car, and I want to kill her in front of that guy, so that his soul will wail forever in hell!"
The sinister curse squeezed out from the teeth of the young nobles, with deep hatred, which made people shudder.
A black-armored warrior next to him grinned and showed his green teeth: "Master Wald, that's the ability of a wizard, but we can fulfill your wish, as long as you pay enough money."
He spit out the residue of the chewy thing on the ground, licked his lips and said, "If you can't get the money after you finish... well, you know the consequences."
Green gum fruit is the favorite of the Beast mercenaries. This pickled fruit is sweet and sour, delicious and chewy. It can be used to clean teeth. When necessary, the residue can be used as a medicine to stop bleeding.
"Don't worry, I've prepared the reward, and I'm sure that a gold coin is a lot!" said the young nobleman gloomy.
If possible, he would not want to deal with these depraved, dirty, greedy and cruel dark mercenaries, but driven by hatred, Wald now does not mind selling his soul to the devil, as long as he can kill Leon and others.
Hansel's sudden fall caused the fate of the young lion noble to fall from heaven to hell. He was driven out of his home by the wolf-like Knight of the Templar. Although his title is still there, he is even worse than a bereaved dog.
The friends of the past drew a clear line with Wald at the first time, and some even immediately asked for the old debts they had not known a few years ago. If Pasting hadn't appeared, he would have really fallen into the streets now, even worse than beggars.
But Wald didn't think Pastin was a real friend. After this big change, he really saw through it.
This seemingly loyal guy is actually just to avoid being talked about. You should know that the fundamental reason why Wald and Leon have a grudge is that he is asking for trouble for the Forest Fairy Bar for Pasting.
Wald dared not blame Pastin. You should know that the other party could die without burial as long as he moved his fingers. He put all his hatred on Leon's head.
The hardships always make people mature quickly. With a lot of hatred, Wald asked Pastin for some money, and with some of his savings, he contacted a dark mercenary through the underground forces in Tormond City.
After getting the news, I followed it all the way, and now I finally caught up.
He wants to kill Leon and others and avenge his uncle!
The mercenaries of the Bemon Beasts were brave and warlike, and enjoyed a high reputation on the Glorious Continent. They galloped across the continent to fight around decades ago, but later they had to retreat to the north as their relations deteriorated.
Due to the sharp shrinkage of the business, many mercenaries who were unwilling to join the army had to abandon their past beliefs and start a shameful dark plan.
The mercenary team hired by Wald is well-known among the underground forces in Tormond City. Captain Ek, the black-armored warrior next to him, is a second-level soul armored warrior. He also has three first-level soul nuclear warriors and more than a dozen barbarian warriors.
With powerful force, rich experience, and absolute numerical advantage, it should not be a problem to defeat the small team of Leon with only six people.
"Two first-level warriors and one third-level mage, tsk! Wald, do you guarantee that your information is accurate?" asked the mercenary captain smacked his lips.
The dark mercenaries were happy and ruthless when they saw money, but this did not mean that they had no brains. The reckless and arrogant characters would never be able to survive in this industry.
Wald's employment mission came too quickly, and Eck's side did not understand the target in detail, but only learned the relevant information from him, and the accuracy could not be guaranteed.
Of course, Eck dared to take on this task and of course he had the confidence to win. Asking more is purely due to habits.
"If you are scared, you can give up now." Wald said coldly.
Eck laughed, he was not angry because the customers who paid the money were always the old man: "Okay, we will do it when they enter the mountains, and I will bring that girl to you!"
"When you attack, I will watch from behind..." Wald said hatefully, like a wolf with a broken leg: "Look at their wail and struggling!"
"As you wish, respectful young master!" Eck whistled frivolously and shouted: "We'll set out, guys!"
In the blink of an eye, several riders disappeared on the hills.
Almost at the same time, Leon, who was walking in front of the convoy, suddenly turned his head and looked back with a solemn expression.
"Did you feel it too?" Aklan, who was riding forward, came over and laughed: "We were followed. The other party has at least twenty riders and is not weak."
"Their tracking skills are good, but on this plain, I have the greatest range of insight and perception. We are in a lot of trouble this time. It seems that some people don't want you to return to the Howling Forest alive."
Leon turned his head and looked at the rolling dusk mountains in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Well, they should want to wait until we enter the mountains before taking action."
The roads in the mountains are rugged and difficult to walk. Once attacked by the enemy, it will definitely be much more dangerous than on the plains.
As for who the enemy is, Leon can also think of it with his toes-he only have a few enemies in Tormond.
"What should we do? Otherwise, I miss the Forest Fairy Bar a little bit," the mage said regretfully: "If I take some more time, I should be able to take that hot sheep girl!"
The skyrocketing strength made Akran confident and did not take the malicious tracker too seriously. Of course, as a mage, he was unwilling to fight against enemies with unknown strength on the mountain road.
Before reaching the fifth level to master the magic shield, all mages are fragile.
"Trouble is here, escaping is not my style!" A fierce light flashed in Leon's eyes: "It's getting dark, we're camping there."
The place where Leon chose to camp was a low hill not far from the mountain road. The view was very wide from the high point. There was also an unfrozen river nearby. Although it was the middle of winter, the grass on both sides of the river bank was still green.
Scrolling the two carriages left and right is the best protective barrier, and then erect a few tents to light a bonfire. A small temporary camp was quickly built.
"We're waiting here and don't go anywhere!" Leon sneered and pulled out a crossbow from the carriage: "Wait for them to come!"
It is located on the edge of the Twilight Mountains, and there are no nearby towns. It takes nearly two days to return to Tormond City. The other party followed him all the way, obviously looking for the best attack opportunity and to wipe out Leon and others.
From this point of view, Leon saw that the opponent's strength was not overwhelming, otherwise a level 4 or 5 beast soul warrior would come directly, which would be enough to easily slaughter all of them.
Entering the mountain now is definitely an extremely bad choice. How could Leon make the opponent do what he wants? His side has sufficient supplies and excellent weapons. The biggest disadvantage is that the number of people is too small, which is only conducive to defensive battles.
After understanding the enemy's intentions, Leon will take advantage of the position to wait for them to come up. If he cannot lead the opponent to take the initiative to attack, he will return to Tormond City without hesitation.
At most, you can hire a mercenary in the city of Tormond. It doesn’t matter how many days you waste. The safety of the group is the most important thing.
And if the other party really dares to come, he will take this opportunity to practice the combat skills and soul power application skills he had just mastered.
Just use them as your whetstone!
Leon stared at the field that was gradually swallowed by the night, and a cold light flashed in his dark eyes.
The long winter night is spent in peace.
The bonfire in the temporary camp was not extinguished all night, and the trackers did not launch a raid with the help of the night cover. They were still waiting for the best opportunity.
But this opportunity may never appear. The next day the convoy did not set off the road in the morning, but continued to stay in the temporary camp with no sign of departure.
This makes the followers unable to understand.
"What's going on?" Wald asked with his blood-red eyes.
The enemy was not far away. He had not been sleeping all night and was thinking about how to tear Leon into pieces. However, Leon and others were reluctant to set off, which made Wald, who was hiding in the woods, even more anxious.
Eck looked at the sky, hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know what might happen to them. Let's wait."
"Wait? When will it be until, is it comfortable to stay here?"
If it weren't for fear of the other party's strength, Wald almost poked his finger on Ek's face: "They only have six people who can fight, you have twenty of them. You are still a second-level soul armor warrior. I really don't know what you are afraid of. You should have taken action last night!"
With Eck's depth, he was also angry by Wald's almost humiliating words: "You know what's the matter! Look at the location of their camp, we will be discovered no matter which direction we attack."
"Their mage can attack from a long distance, and it will be even more dangerous if there is a crossbow. In order to earn you only a thousand gold coins, how many brothers will I get?"
If it weren't for the credibility of his and others in this industry, Eck really wanted to slap Wald in the face.
