Chapter 11 The Kingdom on the Hill (1)

Saquin is a small special area at the border between Bora, Minsu, Ankar and Dejas.

Although it is far away from the Luso area with many monsters, the South Gilcook Mountains extending to the Bora border makes this Three Kingdoms border area slightly unsafe.

Even if there are no bandits wandering around like Singji, there are no monsters lurking in the wilderness. However, the lizardmen from Mukam, the South Gilcock Mountains, not only fought with the underground cave dwarf Kuji, but also often crossed the border to attack human villages on their borders. In addition, caravans traveling south across the Gilcock Mountains to save time will also be attacked.

Seeing the opportunity to make money, many mercenary groups spontaneously organized and set up a mercenary camp in Saquin. This place not only provides past business trips and pedestrian rest, but also sells food, water and some essential travel supplies.

Since it is a camp formed by mercenaries, mercenary guilds are naturally indispensable.

Many mercenaries gathered here, waiting for the passing merchants and travelers, and after some bargaining, they followed the employer to the road.

There are few people passing by to go on the road without hiring mercenaries here. The lizardmen, which have become active in the past century, have made the originally safe border full of crisis.

In addition, the nobles who fled to the south recently due to civil strife, who were used to bullying civilians, often indulged their private soldiers to rob everywhere. Therefore, hiring a few mercenaries on the road is the wisest choice. Although it is expensive, it is difficult to walk from this dangerous path instead of Faro in Daanka, the kingly city of Bakr in Bora. Most people are going to the free commercial trading country Daiha and the southernmost country of the mainland - Guka.

***************************************************

Red Moon Forty-Fifteenth

Early morning on the last day of the red month.

From a distance, two figures came from the slightly cold morning mist. When they approached the mercenary camp that had already been Saquin, the mercenaries in charge of keeping their guard couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Look, the guy who is the most popular recently has come to our camp."

"What are they doing here? There are no big deals here that can make them profit except for some ordinary merchants."

"that is……"

The talk made some merchants and travelers who were already awake and were planning to start the road involuntarily turned their eyes to the two people who were slowly entering the camp.

Walking in front was a young woman with long red hair and green eyes, her gorgeous facial features and gorgeous and expensive clothing were particularly conspicuous among the sloppy mercenaries. Apart from the two thick quiver on her waist and the strange and twisted wooden sticks, this man was like a nobleman going out.

Behind the woman was an equally young man. Although her skin was slightly darker, her blue pupils, golden hair as dazzling as the sun, and her sharp ears as the logo would not make people question his identity - the white elf, a rare white elf in the Eastern Continent.

Unexpectedly, the male elf who was also wearing gorgeous clothes was abnormal. Although he was like most of his compatriots, he was surprised by his exquisitely crafted golden armor.

A warrior, an elf warrior.

This is very rare among white elves, which are mostly forest elves. The first and lifelong professions of forest elves who like nature are mostly rangers or mages. Except for the temple guards, few white elves choose to become warriors. They are weaker than humans in terms of strength and physique and are far from comparable to night elves.

When the two of them entered the camp, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Not to mention this strange combination, it is enough to surprise that it is just a horse without riding a ride to travel, and a mercenary camp located on the border area, which is just a surprise.

Many people also opened their mouths wide after seeing the double leaf pattern embroidered on their cloaks.

Shocked, curious... all kinds of doubts emerged one after another.

A low-pitched discussion spread across the crowd, and even those who were already immersed in the sleep were awakened.

The two larger resident mercenaries, "Silver Wind" and "Mad Wolf", stood together and looked at the two outsiders who were walking towards the Mercenary Guild in the center of the camp. They all saw the same doubts in each other's eyes.

Shuangye... A super-small mercenary group that suddenly emerged a month ago is also the only mercenary organization with a first-level title on the Eastern Continent.

Why is it called super small? Although there were two thousand people when they registered, there were actually only two people in the event.

The demon archer is Croatian, a woman, and her real identity is unknown. Judging from her appearance, it is very likely that she is from Daiha or a southern continent. Although she is not tall, she can shoot magic arrows directly without using magic singing. She is known as a genius magic archer. Many people regret that she should become a mage, not an archer.

However, she seems to be in her early twenties, but she has a great origin. She first appeared in Bernard, Heisen, and was also one of the members of the Night Elf Killer Organization "Sword Dancer".

Although the bloodline of a half-elves has been ruled out, all signs show that this identity and age are fascinated by women, indeed have an inseparable relationship with the night elves.

The white elf warrior... the specific name is unknown. It exists like a shadow. His agile skill and extremely fast swords made everyone who has seen him fight deeply realize that the distance to the god of death can be so close.

These two men have become the biggest topic in the mercenary world in just a short month, mainly because they fought a team of undead from the north in Faro, the border city of Ankar and Bora, half a month ago.

That battle left everyone who witnessed it was amazed by the strength they had.

Only two people can defeat more than a thousand undead. Although the leading lich was not completely wiped out and the broken skeleton racks and ghouls scattered on the ground made every Faro's people beat these two strangers psychologically.

Although there are rumors that the female archer Croatia has a close relationship with the Dark Clan, her move undoubtedly reduced the discussion a lot.

It is no secret that the undead and the night elves have formed an alliance. It has been spread throughout the continent a month ago.

Those who have witnessed the white elf fighting with the undead have witnessed the white light that keeps flashing in his hands. It is the Church of Light... No, it should be said that it is the dispersion and holy light technique that all the goddesses of light can use.

A white elf who believes in the light will never be able to walk with a dark clan, let alone form a small mercenary group.

In the following month, it was like a special sense of premonition about danger and trouble. There would be some small disputes in the place where they appeared. People began to jokingly call these two mysterious mercenaries "troublemakers".

Seeing that every time someone appeared, there would be troubles, people couldn't help but wonder whether there would be something like the undead here. Although the lizardmen often attacked, it should be because there were a large number of mercenaries, and Saquin had not been captured yet.

Thinking of the rumor that was in decline, the two mercenary presidents couldn't help but follow them into the mercenary union.

"Please wait."

"Forgive me, can you ask, what do you two want to do when you come to Saquin?"

The female archer was blocked by two obviously mercenary heads, and her expression slightly stopped, and then she was a little angry.

"It has nothing to do with you."

"Haha, your unlucky fortune that will attract trouble has not changed. Think about what happened recently. As long as you go, there are either undead attacking the city or monsters chasing the caravan, it is normal for them to have some suspicion." The white elf wearing golden armor said with a smile on his face and said the two mercenary commanders who could not ask, which also made his companions even more irritable.

"Shut up, Sith. You guy who likes to gloat, don't say anything that makes me angry." Glazed at the elf who was still laughing around her, Croatia vented her dissatisfaction on the two unlucky inquirers.

"I came here mainly because this is the only camp nearby. We will check some information and leave immediately, and it will not cause you any 'trouble'." When saying this, people nearby could feel that the woman was very angry.

"Sorry, we just..." Before Captain Yinfeng could finish his apology, he heard a shouting outside the door.

"Not good, the Lizardman is here!!"

"Damn it, don't say it's because of our relationship." Croatia almost said in a voice that was about to get teeth in his mouth when he heard the alarm.

"Indeed, that's not because of your relationship." A tall middle-aged man walked into the union. He had a very strong physique and was carrying a half-person-tall axe on his back. His skin was dark, and his walking pace and several visible scars on his body showed that he was a warrior who had been through many battles.

However, the sad and angry expression on his face shocked everyone who knew him.

"Rather? Why are you back? Where are the others?" Seeing that the other mercenary commander who set out to Beigu two days ago drove away a group of lizard men there a few days ago, came back early, but there were no two capable subordinates around him, the two commanders were stunned, and a bad premonition began to spread in their psychology.

"Wick, Sur... I just drove all the lizards entrenched in the North Valley out of Saquin's sphere of influence on yesterday. On the way back, I was ambushed by their reinforcements. The entire battle lion and I escaped. The others... I don't know how many were captured. This time I came back... less than one tenth..." The exhausted Rathoff casually found a chair and sat down. His thick hands covered his face, making it impossible to tell whether the drop of water fell on the ground was the sweat shed from the speed of his forehead or the tears shed in his eyes for the death of his companions.

"How could this happen..." A regret sounded in the small mercenary union.

Lizards are cruel by nature and have the custom of cannibalism. If they fall into their hands, they will never have any plans to survive.

There are 400 people in the Battle Lion Group, all of whom are experienced mercenaries. Even they can't resist the Lizardmen's reinforcements. Do these monsters living in the mountains really plan to invade Ankar again?

"Let's go out and have a look." Before there was time to mourn the mercenaries who didn't know life and death, and before there was time to comfort Rasef, the two regiment commanders hurried out of the mercenary union.

Since you dare to run to the place where the Three Kingdoms handed over, it means that you have enough troops. Otherwise, the lizard man, who is smarter than the Notting Orcs, would never have entered this land at the risk of being besieged by the Three Kingdoms border guards.

Climbing up the sentry tower, the black lizardman army was coming out not far away, so that the two mercenary commanders who had seen big scenes could not help but gasp.

Too many, at least tens of thousands.

"What do you think?" Seeing the mercenary quickly closed the wooden door and added a series of bolts, the blonde white elf asked a companion with a thoughtful expression.
