Chapter 276 The Enemy Appears
The meeting with the Gale Wolf mercenary group was quite unpleasant, but the subject of this unpleasantness was Martin, Tom and Kevin are relatively calm people, even when facing the enemy, they were only indifferent and did not speak evil words. Word.
On the contrary, as soon as the group leader on the opposite side saw Kelly, his eyes lit up all of a sudden, as if he was eager to come over and get close.
Kelly's attitude was quite cold, and during the negotiation process, she also stood behind her brother without saying a word.
Julian has always regarded himself as a beautiful wallflower, quietly following behind others.
Although those members of the Gale Wolf also saw his existence, they didn't pay much attention to him. They only regarded him as a substitute that Tom and the others had brought to replace Frankie. Kind of hostile.
Julian was still wondering that he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, why did the other party follow him?
Later, I found that this guy looked at me with jealousy and envy, and then I realized that this guy might regard me as a rival in love.
Julian was a little dumbfounded, but he couldn't explain it. He couldn't rush up and tell people that he was a man with a family, so he wouldn't covet Kelly, could he?
Just like that, when the members of the Gale Wolf and Twilight groups had noses instead of noses and eyes not eyes, a girl walked in outside the door.
This girl is about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a round oval face, bright eyes, blushing cheeks, exuding a youthful and lively atmosphere.
Behind her, there were two people, one was a female warrior with a pretty face and an indifferent expression, and the other was an old man with a kind face.
The female warrior was wearing a black armor with a big sword on her back, and the kind old man was wearing a bright red robe, with a scorching breath, obviously a strong man proficient in fire magic.
Tom frowned unconsciously, and the head of the Gale Wolf over there also showed a displeased expression.
Seeing this, the girl stuck out her tongue, took a step back, and pushed the old man in front of the people: "Grandpa Tiya, I just said it's not good to do this, you see they are all angry."
The old man smiled and patted the girl's head: "It's okay, leave it to Grandpa Tia."
Let's talk, he looked at Tom and the head of the Storm Wolf, and said with a smile: "You two, don't be angry, your commission will not be reduced because of our joining."
Tom's team has only experienced a betrayal, and their strength has declined. It is difficult to speak at this time, but the head of the Storm Wolf said indifferently: "It's not a matter of income. We agreed before, just to protect this lady. You two..."
"We don't need your protection." The indifferent girl said in a deep voice, "You only need to be responsible for the security of the periphery, and we will also be responsible for Catherine."
Tom's brows became tighter. As a protection task, the most feared thing is someone making trouble. The mercenary team like them cooperates very well with each other. The power that erupts is not as simple as 1+1. During the process, if someone joins, let alone whether it can help him, it would be nice not to cause trouble.
He can feel that both the young girl and the old man are very strong, but the problem is...their task is to protect the girl named Catherine, these two people suddenly joined, who knows if they have evil intentions?
They said it nicely, saying that they would protect Catherine, but if something happened, wouldn't they, the mercenaries, be the ones to blame?
The head of the Gale Wolf also disagreed with the sudden addition of an outsider. Catherine was obviously an inexperienced guy. Seeing this, she was very embarrassed and looked at the old man for help.
The old man gradually suppressed his smile, and said lightly: "In this case, sign the contract again. You only need to escort us there, and you don't need to protect Catherine."
The head of the Gale Wolf and Tom both turned their attention to Catherine. After all, she was the employer. Seeing the girl nodding in a hurry, she obviously trusted the two newcomers better than them. Go to the Mercenary Association and modify the mission.
After that, a group of people rode to the ghost fruit forest.
When he came here before, Julian arrived here directly through the teleportation scroll, and he had no chance to meet other people on the road. This time, he walked along the main road from the gate of the city, only to find that there were people coming and going on the road, and the number was astonishing. .
Most of these people are sturdy and carry weapons. They are not ordinary travelers at first glance.
Martin rode on the horse and passed these people, and now and then someone shouted at them because of the dust raised by the horse's hooves.
Martin curled his lips and complained to Julian that he didn't know what these people were thinking. When they learned that there was a problem with the ghost fruit tree, they all wanted to fish in troubled waters, regardless of their own strength.
Kevin was also helping out. They all agreed that even if these people found a chance and sneaked into the ghost fruit forest, they would probably be killed by cannon fodder. Do you really think that these big families in Canai Port are vegetarians?Even if that piece of territory is occupied by Xieyan, it doesn't mean that anyone can rush to get a share.
It only took about an afternoon to get to the ghost fruit forest from Canai Port, and when dusk approached, they could already see the mountains from afar.
The guards that used to be outside have all been removed, but there are quite a few people who want to take advantage of it.
Julian found that most of the people who camped at the foot of the mountain were scattered people or solo travelers from outside. Walking up the mountain road, when it was halfway up the mountain, there was a relatively flat open space.
Today, the open space is covered with tents, and flags of various colors are flying on the tents. According to Martin's explanation, many flags represent some big forces or large mercenary groups in Canai Port.
When they wanted to continue going up, they were stopped by someone who was wearing the uniform of the guards. From what they said, it seemed that only the top families and forces had the opportunity to be closer to the top of the mountain. stationed.
Tom and the head of the Gale Wolf looked at Catherine at the same time. They both belonged to the medium-sized mercenary group in Port Canai, that is, they belonged to the category of 'not qualified' to go up.
The only person who has the map is Miss Catherine, and unless she has something special in hand, they can only be stationed here.
Miss Catherine looked around and was about to say something, but the girl behind her tugged at her sleeve.She closed her mouth obediently and looked at the old man.
The old man still had that kind look, and said with a smile: "In that case, let's stay here too."
"Yeah! I can finally rest." Catherine shook her fist happily, then realized that she had lost her composure, and quickly shrank her neck.
Tom and the head of the Gale Wolf looked at each other, and sent their subordinates to explore the terrain nearby. Although the area of this open space is large, there are also many forces in Canai Port, not to mention that there are outsiders who want to share a piece of it. Soup, basically this place is already full.
After Martin went out for a while, he came back and reported that he had found a more suitable place.The spies from Gale Wolf also came back, and shook their heads at their leader, as if they hadn't gained anything.
Tom discussed with the old man, and quickly reached an agreement. The old man was not proficient in these trivial matters, so he simply entrusted them to two mercenary groups. Corps, there will be no big problem.
Martin led the team around three times, and soon came to a relatively remote corner, which was already close to the edge of the open space, not a very good place. After all, they came late, and they had no chance to snatch it, but Unexpectedly, when they came, they happened to see a group of people staying here, and a sign that Martin left to occupy this place was thrown aside by them.
Tom felt bad when he saw the group of people. After seeing the sign that was thrown aside, his face suddenly sank.
"Yo, isn't this... that trashy Tom who is stupid enough to be poisoned?" A magician in a long robe stepped out from among the group of people. He and several other girls kept turning around, and the salivation in his eyes was very obvious.
Tom seems to have had a grudge with this person for a long time. I don't know if it's because of the employer. He didn't want to tangle with him, but said coldly: "Barry, this is our territory occupied by Twilight."
The wretched man named Barry let out an ugly laugh, and then his face darkened: "Damn! Your Twilight's territory? Without Franky, your Twilight is nothing! What right do you have to occupy a territory here?"
Tom turned cold: "Are you not following the rules?"
Barry laughed loudly: "So what if I don't obey the rules? With your incomplete team, do you want to fight with our dragon mercenary group?"
"Fight, fight! A group of wastes of the magic dragon, so arrogant, is it tight again, let me relax for you!"
"Who is it!" Barry raised his head, just in time to see the Gale Wolf mercenary group passing the corner.
He frowned unconsciously: "What? You Stormwolves want to stand up for the Twilight people? I remember that you don't see each other very well, what? Tom sold her sister to you? You stand up for him like this?"
The head of Gale Wolf's face darkened, and he came over a few steps and raised his foot to kick Barry's stomach: "A dog can't spit out ivory! If you dare to talk nonsense, I will break your leg!" Kelly's face.
Barry dodged the blow from the head of the Gale Wolf, and his face turned cold: "Woody, I don't want to start a war with you Gale Wolves, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of you! Are you really going to stand up for the Twilight people?"
Woody, who is also the head of the Gale Wolf, scolded: "I'm standing up for my employer. This piece of land is what we saw first. If we want to grab it, okay, let's fight!"
Barry looked at Catherine and the others in amazement, and scolded the subordinate in charge of investigating the news half to death. Didn't he say that the one who hired Twilight was a silly girl who didn't take advantage of her?If she was really a silly girl, why would she hire someone from Galewind Wolf at the same time.
It was also at this time that he realized that the two people behind the little girl were not simple, not to mention the girl in black armor, and the old man in red robe, giving him a very dangerous feeling .
The enemy exceeded expectations, and Barry immediately decided to change his plan. Anyway, the people who trampled on Twilight were not in a hurry. At this moment, when there were no Gale Wolf people, he had plenty of means to kill Twilight's group.
"Let's go!" Barry's character was ferocious, but he was not reckless, and decided to retreat.
"Wait!" Kelly suddenly said, "Where's Frankie?"
"Heh... want to find Frankie?" Barry looked over maliciously: "What? Miss Kelly still misses him? What a pity, he doesn't miss you at all. If you want to find him, come to me Find me at the station." After finishing speaking, he turned around and took the people away.
Kelly looked at his leaving back and remained silent for a long time. Martin was anxious and persuaded, "Don't do anything stupid!"
Kelly didn't answer.
