189. The Unlucky Mercenary Group
Bruen has been in a terrible mood lately.
As the leader of a mercenary group, he naturally had to think about the entire mercenary group. And this mercenary group has been extremely difficult to take every step from the beginning of its formation to today, so Brune cherishes his team very much, and he really treats all the members as his family. Although everyone also loves him as the leader, Brune also knows that since it is a mercenary group, of course he has to earn money by completing tasks to support the entire team.
But all the while, despite the hard work of Bruen and his teammates, they may not have that life, so their team has not had a good reputation, so they have to run out on their own to find out about the mission. Of course, one of the main reasons for this is actually because their team members are not strong, so they can only covet many tasks that pay more quickly and have a faster reputation.
It is for this reason that Brune's mercenary group is known as the existence of the wandering mercenary group.
The so-called wandering mercenary group is that it never stays fixed in one place, but goes to a new place every once in a while, and occasionally encounters a caravan on the road, and can also earn a little "pocket money" - of course, there are many meanings of this pocket money, part-time guards send the caravan to the destination is one, and cameo robbers and bandits can also be counted as a kind of robbery.
However, Brunn, a mercenary group, has always been a part-time guard, and even if they really want to rob, they are a little powerless.
The strongest one in the regiment is just a top-ranking bronze. It's no wonder that Brune's mercenary group has never received any decent tasks, but everyone seems to be quite self-aware, so no one has complained about anything, but has tried their best to do their best in every mission, hoping to win the satisfaction of customers.
And this time, it was when they were moving to the area of activity that they encountered a caravan. A makeshift cameo as a guard protects them to the town called the Teal Hummingbird.
But since I came to this town. But bad luck seemed to befall their mercenary group.
On the first day they arrived in the town, one of their mercenary groups disappeared inexplicably. At that time, they were still set up with the caravan's camp, and there was no trace left on the scene, so Brune and the others did not have any suspicions at first, but when the caravan was ready to leave for the next place, the missing person had not returned, and Brune finally realized the seriousness of the problem. So naturally it was impossible to leave with the caravan, but to stay and look for companions.
However, in the next few days, two companions disappeared one after another, and this time there were finally traces of fighting in the camp.
In this way, it is proved that it is not the companion who has left or lost his way, but the danger he has encountered. But it's amazing. But there were obvious traces of battle, but they didn't hear it at all, and it stands to reason that if they slept to death, then there was no reason for the other party to only capture the night watchman, and they should have attacked them together, which made Brune feel extremely confused.
But when they went to the town to inquire about the situation, no one in the whole town would take their word for it. This made Bruen feel very resentful.
His mercenary group is indeed very inconspicuous. It's not particularly strong, but at least all the members of the team treat each other as family. There has never been any contradiction or dispute. How could a mercenary group like them have a leader who was too strong, so the members couldn't stand the escape? The entire mercenary group knew that he was a good man, and even the most powerful deputy head had never seen her red-eyed with anyone.
When Bruen returned to the camp, there were already people in the camp.
"Rena, how's it going?" Brune hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
The woman, Rena, shook her head, looking very lost. She had basically searched for the places around, but she hadn't found even a clue, and it was so clean that it was a little unbelievable, which really puzzled her. Obviously, there are traces of battle in the camp, and there is even blood splattering, how can there be clues left in this case, but there is no sign around for Lang?
"It's a little weird." Rena then analyzed the situation she had in mind, and the more Brune listened, the more frowning her brow became.
"Could it be...... Some special creatures? Brune said with some uncertainty.
Rena is the deputy head of their mercenary group, and the only one in the entire team who has a high-ranking bronze power.
The bronze strength is the base of the pyramid of the Miracle Continent's strength, and this number of strength is the most, although there is a difference between the upper and lower positions, but in fact, it is only a fine difference in the degree of control of the strength and quantity, and there is not much difference in nature. What really distinguishes it from the bronze strength is the silver class, because the strength of this class can already exert fighting spirit and strengthen its own combat effectiveness to a certain extent, so it is also worthy of the word "master".
However, there is a very obvious gap between the lower silver and the upper silver because of the "fighting spirit", which is not as blurred as the boundary between the lower bronze and the upper bronze.
Rena has basically touched the threshold of the lower silver, and all she lacks is how to control the "qi" in her body. As long as she can successfully control this qi swimming in her body, then she can officially be promoted to the lower rank silver and completely master the strength of the fighting qi. It's just that she has been stuck in this realm for several years, and she has not been able to break through this last level, and she would have been discouraged by ordinary people, but Rena has not, and she still cultivates very hard and hard every day.
"I hope not." At this time, hearing the words of her group leader, Reina's face darkened, and then she spoke, "If it is really this kind of foreign object, it is impossible to take revenge with our strength." ”
Hearing Rena's words, Brune finally sighed helplessly. Because he could already hear that even Rena didn't have any thoughts about surviving the missing companions, and now Rena was still working so hard to find clues, just to avenge her companions, that's all.
For a moment, neither Brune nor Raina had any interest in continuing to speak, and just sat silently by the campfire. After a while, the other two returned, but both looked exhausted. And after seeing the silent Reina and Brune. Their expressions were even more depressed, and the situation of the entire mercenary group had become a little lifeless.
Brune glanced at the three of them, including Rena, and couldn't help but feel a little sad and disheartened in his heart. The peak of this mercenary group that he worked so hard to pull up grew to thirteen people, and then took over a more dangerous mission, which resulted in the loss of three people, and three young children wanted to quit after seeing that mercenaries were such a dangerous profession. Bruen didn't stand in the way.
After that, the seven of them depended on each other for four years, and their feelings were the same as real relatives, and no one would object. But now, in just a few days, they have lost three family members, which is a blow to this already somewhat fragile mercenary group, which can be imagined. Brune knows. If it weren't for the resentment that everyone was holding back to take revenge, I am afraid that they would have dispersed long ago.
"Click."
The sound of a tree branch being trampled off suddenly sounded, and the four mercenaries suddenly bounced up like frightened birds, and their reactions were extremely strong. However, after seeing that the person who came was a young Chopper, the frightened look on his face retreated slightly, but he was still on guard, after all, their mercenary group had just happened to such a thing, who knew if the other party was an enemy or not.
After seeing the reaction of these mercenaries. Sean smiled slightly. Raise your hands: "I don't have any ill intentions." ”
"This friend, I wonder what you're here for?" Bruun is older. Although he did not look old, he was actually over fifty years old.
"I've heard that something has happened to your mercenary group, so I'll see if there's anything I can do to help."
Sean has a typical Cinnas face in this world, his facial lines are not the contrary, a little soft, when he laughs, he feels very sunny and bright, and his smile is very kind. People like him are the easiest to leave some good impressions on others, so as to get extra points for impressions.
"Your Excellency's kindness is appreciated, but I'm afraid you won't be able to help you in this matter." Brune whispered.
"I don't think so." Sean smiled slightly.
In the hotel before, he had judged an important clue from the conversations of those travelers, that is, this dungeon has not been fully opened at the moment, and it is currently in the stage of going through the plot flow. Only after this plot is completed, this copy will be officially opened, so the purpose of Sean coming here at this moment is naturally to speed up the flow of this plot.
According to the original plot setting in the game, after the mercenary group lost three people, they finally realized that the enemy might not be normal creatures, but before they could find new evidence and clues, another companion was killed, but this time this companion finally left clues for the mercenary group. In this way, following the clues, the group of mercenaries successfully found the enemy's lair, and as a result, a fierce battle broke out inside, but unfortunately, because of their lack of strength, they not only failed to avenge their companions, but instead buried two more people, and only Rena, the deputy head of the regiment, survived.
Only at this point in the plot can the dungeon be officially opened, because after that, the player will have to take over the task of crusading against the infidels from the hands of the deputy leader.
And at this moment, when Sean saw that there were still four mercenaries in the camp, he knew that one of the mercenaries would be killed immediately tonight at the latest.
"I think I can still help a little bit." Sean didn't show any resentment at Brune's refusal, "I've studied at the Spire and the Temple of Fate, so I might be able to help with the disappearance of your members." ”
"Really?" Hearing Sean's words, before Brune could react, Rena was already the first to stand up.
"All I can say is, give it a try." Sean doesn't say anything about death, who knows if there will be any changes in this copy in this world. (To be continued.) )
PS: It's a bit of a cardin, and my spirit is almost to the limit, my thinking is a little sluggish, and my writing is a little slower. …… Well, there's another chapter! I'll try to get it done by twelve o'clock, and then I can go to bed......
