"Come in."

Quickly reining in his emotions, Charles sat back down on the woolen blanket and beckoned to the knight and Lilith outside the tent.

The female knight walked in with several dark knights lifting the curtains.

No one was surprised or surprised by the dead companion, including Lilis. They knew the extent of the dying knight's injuries, and they couldn't survive unless a priest of the Four Rings intervened in time.

This knight was obviously not as lucky as the other dying knight, perhaps he was delayed for a few more seconds, and he didn't survive until the moment His Excellency Priest cast his magic and died.

With the exception of Lilis, the other knights silently carried the stretcher. When the curtain had cut off the sunset, and the tent had become dark again, the knightess fell on one knee, bowed her head, and said, "Your Excellency, I have not been able to expel the insects. ”

"Night is coming."

Charles didn't respond, but stared at the tent door behind the female knight, and a ray of light leaked through the crack in the tent, illuminating Lilis's armor and weapons.

“…… Do you want to act as usual tonight? Lilith hesitated, "Our deeds may have been exposed, and if we continue to act, there is a chance that we will fail." ”

"Not action." The priest glanced at her and said lightly, "I'm thinking about how to resist the attack of that group of shadow believers with this temporary camp alone. ”

"You got it?" Lilith let out a soft sigh. She was still hesitating to report the news. The group of shadow cultists had a strange activity, and it seemed that it was for them, but the female knight did not know the motives of the other party.

"It's not just shadow believers."

"Susal should have a bounty hunter coming."

"They're all waiting for the night to do it."

Charles's words were not wrong.

When the system issues a hunt mission. Sussar also had many adventurers and bounty hunters who had received the commission scrolls sent out by the royal court, and they must have been snooping around the camp at this time.

There is no shortage of high-level professionals in the group of mercenaries and bounty hunters. For example, the three most famous mercenary groups in the imperial capital. The leader of each team is a hero.

Even some mages and warlocks who wandered from foreign lands and stayed in the imperial capital would be interested in delegated orders. After all, this is a royal commission, and after hunting the target, bringing back the head will definitely get a lot of wealth. And maybe territory.

Professionals never mind owning a piece of territory of their own. What's more, Cormier's customs and historical heritage are also extremely famous among the mainland countries, and presumably the wandering professionals are very willing to take the title and territory. Thrive in this land.

The valley forest at night is not quiet.

Every few moments, near and far, in the wooded area, there were sounds of battle and shouts.

Cormier players, attracted by the hunt mission, have countless bloody clashes with the evil faction players who are on the temple mission.

Some Cormier players have simply put their hunt on hold for the time being. Specializes in searching the valley for Sha'er's followers. After the siege is destroyed, you will receive experience points, faction contributions, and reputation bonuses.

"Whew, whew, whew......"

Alan scurries through the dark forest, where movement is not a strong point for a warlock, and the complex environment of this primeval jungle is also thanks to his previous experience in the game to be pursued by the hunting party. Escaped to the present.

A team of players from the good camp has been chasing after him since the early evening.

In the face of a normal squad of players, Alan has many ways to play them to death. But now the team behind is not good. After Allen fought the barbarians and rangers in the team, he suddenly gave up the idea of counter-killing.

Especially the half-elf female ranger, her archery skills are extremely accurate, and Eren was almost shot through the head by an arrow before, so he has a deep memory.

These are two high-level old birds, not low level, well-equipped, even if they are placed in the shadow temple with a cruel living environment, these two people may be able to make a name for themselves.

There are only two people Alan is not afraid of them, but if there are four more teams, Alan will have to weigh it carefully. After all, two fists are hard to beat four hands, although the warlock has an advantage over the mage in casting spells, but it also takes time, if he is interrupted during the spell casting, then he is a dead end.

"Roar—"

The sudden roar of the beast behind him alerted Allen, and his eyes immediately became sharp.

Turning his head slightly to look behind him as he ran, a sturdy shadow darted through the jungle, the fallen dead trees and the climbing vines and whiskers hanging to the ground did not slow the beast shadow to slow down.

"Ranger's animal companion!"

Alan instantly judged what it was, and as if he had a premonition, he rolled forward without any fuss.

Laugh at. Laugh at. Laugh at.

A series of three arrows followed, one was inserted in the place where Eren was standing, one was slightly off-angle and stuck in the tree next to him, and the last one, immediately following Alan, was nailed to his heel, and the whole arrow was still "buzzing" and shaking.

"I almost got second......" Alan was shocked.

This is a commonly used combat skill for rangers, [Continuous Shooting]. But the actual situation of skills also depends on the person. Eren has killed many Ranger players, and there are very few Ranger who may actually use archery and perfectly exert the effect of their skills.

But without Alan to think too much, a black jungle leopard jumped out of the darkness with a roar and pounced on him.

"[Magic Missile]!"

Without thinking about it, Alan activated the magic effect of the staff in his hand, and three energy bullets shot out at the cheetah in an instant. The cheetah, which was still in mid-air, could not dodge and was knocked away by an energy projectile under an old tree.

There was a jumble of footsteps approaching behind. Eren withdrew his staff and continued to run.

"It's a big fish."

"Can't let him run away."

The barbarian 'God of War Kuiye' beckoned to his teammates and encouraged: "Killing an advanced professional is equivalent to killing two teams of ordinary players. It's worth it! ”

However, the only female member of the team, 'Yu Yin', was calmer, plucked the longbow string, and said coldly: "This fish is very slippery." ”

"I suspect he's the big villain on the temple's hunt list."

In Cormier, any temple that belongs to the good camp will have a list of heretics to be pursued.

Both players and Natives can be included in the list. Of course, there are many conditions for being on the list, and the quickest way is to kill a large number of players and aboriginal professionals from your faction.

It can be said that as long as the character on the list, even if he is a player, he is considered a "big head", and the reward after killing is not only the value of experience and prestige, but also the actual equipment and props.

Yu Yin, the god of war Kui Ye and the other four team members all knew the benefits after collecting the adult's head, so they naturally chased after it.

……

The closer you get to the wooded area of the dark camp, the more dead it is.

With the priest's precautionary orders, the female knight Lilith personally formed a patrol and led the team around the perimeter of the camp. As long as a creature trespasses into the cordon, it will be mercilessly killed by the Dark Knight.

"The target is in that tent."

On a low hill about 100 meters from the camp, several aboriginal professionals dressed in black gauze walked out.

One was a warlock, the other was a warrior monk, and the last one was a burly warrior.

"The fortifications of that camp are too rudimentary, I will lead the knights to charge, and in a moment I can destroy and destroy the camp and force the target out!" The burly warrior said coldly.

The cold moonlight shone on him, and in his black cloak was a set of Mithril armor, and on his breastplate and shoulder armor, the priesthood of the Night Lady was carved with the mark of the god that was only qualified to be revealed—

A black disc with a purple band set on the outside of the disc.

A holy warrior.

"Carl, I know you want to fulfill Madame's decree as soon as possible." The leading warlock glanced coldly at the Holy Warrior, "However, the situation is somewhat out of our control. ”

"The target could be a dark high priest who believes in Bane."

"It's hard for us to kill him."

These three are only quasi-hero-level professionals, and they are also the three strongest subordinates under Sha'er's high priest Sandora.

Compared to Isaac, Sandora's power inevitably looks shabby. However, the followers of the Night Lady can use the shadow magic network to strengthen their power, and when a real battle breaks out, the outcome is unpredictable.

Especially the heroic priest who has mastered the Seven Rings Divine Technique, it is difficult for him to really die. After all, the priesthood has reached such a height that it already has the power to be close to the gods in the eyes of mortals. For example, [Resurrection], [Regeneration], as well as [Holy Word], [Chaos Mantra], and so on, all of them are terrifyingly powerful divine arts.

"Whoever it is, we have to do it, or no one will be able to bear the wrath of the lady." Another quasi-heroic female warrior monk said in a deep voice.

"Yes, we must do it, but before we do, let that group of Holy Presence believers explore the way for us." The Shadow Warlock sneered.

……

Also on the other side of the valley forest.

A mercenary leader is leading a team under the moonlight.

"Boss, according to the information of the Holy Presence, the Dark Priest is in this area." The Wanderer Scouts in the group turned back from the front and reported to the leader of the mercenaries with a two-handed hammer.

The mercenary leader was not tall and slightly thin, and a set of scorched, antique armor made him look no different from the other adventurers.

But if outsiders pay attention to it, they will be able to find that contrary to his calm and vicissitudes of temperament, the mercenary leader has a very young face, he looks like he is in his early twenties, and he still has a green grass in his mouth, which stirs from time to time, and his blue eyes always have a strange smile.

The large hammer he carried on his shoulders was tightly wrapped in only a few layers of coarse cloth, and the exposed metal handle was grasped in his hand, and outsiders could only judge the origin of this weapon through the craftsmanship and pattern of the long handle.

If Charles were here, it would not be difficult to recognize the mercenary king.

Yes.

This is the uncrowned king of the Cormier mercenary world, the leader of the 'Blood Weepers' mercenary group.

The name 'Bloodweeper' comes from the giant hammer in the hands of the Mercenary King, which is the Bloodweeper's Hammer, a known legendary weapon with a great history. (To be continued......)
